Best way to install 4.2.2 on a new C6503? - Sony Xperia ZL

So I'm just about to start charging my ZL for eight hours to condition the battery.. how should I best install 4.2.2? I've read that some users are having issues with 4.2.2 but others aren't who update under certain conditions.
Should I install the SIM, then update OTA?
Should I install via PC Companion in the normal way?
Should I somehow wipe the phone first then update in another way?
Your help is much appreciated! :good:
Thanks as always,

It depends on your current firmware,,if it's anything.other than .253 ,I recommend that you do a complete re-install,via Sony update service( search Google & download it) & not by pc companion or Ota.
This will reinstall the fw by doing a full wipe( takes some time depending on your internet speed), but this will reduce your chances of facing any bugs.
If you feel that I've helped you in any way,,please hit the thanks button

Agreed! Even on Gnex installing vanilla android 4.2.2 was a complete disaster! Not all down to Sony as they are building on something which is already flawed IMHO

Note 2 problem

Hi guys, i love my Note 2. But recently it has been giving me lots of problems. For example, it would randomly lose signal, and i cant get it back until like around half an hour later. i will keep rebooting my phone non stop and using my friend's phone to check if i can get through to my phone. it has been irritating me , and if it goes on i would change to another phone.
Should i try to reformat my phone?
Hi
Of course you could try to flash a Full Wipe ROM: FW: FULL-WIPE-LEAK _N7100XXDLJ2_N7100OXADLJ2_OXA.
What is your configuration atm?
Maybe start with cache and dalvik cache wipe ?

That's not important to have an old ROM LJ2. The aim is to have a full clean of the phone.
The old rom is potential to malware and sudden death syndrome.

Yes I know. Just need to update after full wipe.

[Q] Alternative roms?

Hey all,
I have a HTC OneV (PrimoU) and currently on SlimBean. It works very and Im very happy with it, except that it regularly gets really really slow, memory drops to <40Mb and sometimes recovers sometimes doesnt and I need to reboot..
I've seen another post from someone else saying the same, so Im thinking it may be time to move to another ROM..
Any recommendations? Which Roms are still actively being updated and considered stable?
thanks all

Hey ijayesh
Thanks for this, someone else [cybervibin] suggested using titanium pro and getting it to clear the caches and reboot everynight.
ie.
go to schedule----> edit any---->open first drop down menu
--->set it to clear cache for user and system apps
--->then set a time(preferably in the night while ur asleep)
--->all the days
---->then last drop down menu--->select reboot device
Haven't tried it yet but I dont think rebooting everynight at 4am wont harm .. or will it?
ok have installed titatium pro, and configured the above, also disabled DRM Content Mgr too.. Lets see how that does!

Chameleon OS test ROM available- Device maintainer wanted

Hello All,
The developer of Chameleon OS has "blind" made a test build for t0ltetmo, available at http://goo.im/devs/ChameleonOS/roms/t0ltetmo/cos-0.8_4.3-20130828-EXPERIMENTAL-t0ltetmo.zip
Google Apps http://goo.im/devs/ChameleonOS/gapps/gapps-jb43-20130826-chaos.zip
It is Android 4.3, full wipe required.
In limited testing, all appears to work except bluetooth.
We are looking for someone to help by maintaining this device long term.
Thanks and enjoy!
hoppermi
Downloading to check it out. I'd love to maintain it, but honestly never consumed from source so it's way over my head. Hopefully someone will take the challenge though

Nice
Glad to see this got posted - ran it all day and no hiccups (outside of the bluetooth bit) to report. I'm down to lend a hand but I fear I would require a bit too much hand holding at the onset than the team would really want (uber n00b and all that). I'm sure someone w/ aosp chops will come along though
Hoppermi.. Nice to see you here .... thanks for posting.

This thing is impressive. I ran it for a while yesterday to check it out. Amazingly smooth and very unique theme. I enjoyed it, to bad I have to have WiFi calling.
By the way the animations and shut down was great!

I've been having a lot of issues with iwin so I reverted back to virgin ROM running 4.3 it is more stable right now but the main reason for the switch was my SD card couldn't be read on the kit Kat ROM but thanks for the idea. Happy Thanksgiving

Lollipop port

I found a lollipop ROM for the note 2 international version and was wondering if it would be easier to port from that or to start with aosp. Any suggestions on where to get started? Thanks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2/orig-development/rom-namelessrom-2-0-t2943424
I imagine e it'd be easier to start with the port.
Now all we need are some porting pros.
Its dissapointing that no one is even attempting to maintain this phone now. I suppose, I could try to commission a maintainer though...
Edit: well I found out what happened to one of our biggest device maintainers.

OK. So I understand this now. The back camera does not work period. Even with other apps.
Runs great! I wonder how big of an impact the mostly white menus will drain our batteries. And if the new way Android works and its battery saving will off put that.

Also might want to make sure internal sd is wiped and android folder on your external sd is deleted. Dont use much facebook (clear/blue is what I have) and not tested on lp. Got to love how they make you use a second app to help suck your battery down even more.

Right? We are supposed to believe them forcing us to use a second app is to make things better for us and not them being up to something, messed up something, and\or not have a clue what they are doing?

I have compiled AICP 5.0.1 (has mobile service) and BrokenPOP (before mobile service worked) and only BrokenPOP had both front and rear camera working. I am working on a new compile of BrokenPOP now and if camera is still working I will port that over to both CM and AICP.
