P Fizzle what up
Yeah, this phone is different. I have had to sbf a handful of times already for various reasons, only had to do it once with the D1.
Make sure to do things in the right order and per the dev's recommendation. This is most important. The "mount" and "unmount" in CW recovery is new compared to D1 (not sure about Inc.) Just have the bootstrap and Z4 Root apks in a saved email so they can be accessed easily when and if you need it when you load a new ROM.
Root - Bootstrap - and follow instructions -- also know how to sbf just in case.
To get you up to speed, Fission is nice, but Fab's latest Apex is nice, as I enjoy the phone blur and his has it. UD should be going into RC3 soon, but RC2 is a hot mess, so seeing what was in it and not being able to use it at all is rough, but something to look forward to.
I, and others, have run a coupld DX ROMs with only a few crippled effects, such as the hardware keyboard not working properly.
Play around, and glad to see ya
