Nah man no way, pretty sure they died along with KitKat :silly:.

---

Charging current is still low, by a half compares to stock rom. Maximum is 700mah (while in stock is over 1100mah) at range from 1% to 50%, almost time is around 500mah, so it took me over 3hrs (3h40p exactly) to fully charge from 20%.

For locked bootloadee too?

Don't know exactly what I should reply on that. We used the CM Kernel for the Carbon Builds so I guess you get this problem on all CM based ROMs. You might want to try M5 Kernel, it has a option to enable fastcharge. Just watch out that you don't enable it when connection to a smaller charger / Your PCs USB port.

No, it' a CM based Custom ROM and needs a different Kernel than Stock in order to work, so it won't work on LB.

Please search for this topic, it has been discussed often. Look for DRM keys or camera.

The download speed is really slow.. Only up to 60 kbps.. I think I would try it again tomorrow

---

Thank you Myself5! ?

What about camera in cm based roms? Is the quality like in stock (unlocked) rom?

Can't compare for sure, but most likely it's not as good from what I've read - Sony uses closed source camera firmware that makes their camera performance this outstanding. Unlocking the bootloader automatically erases the DRM keys that unlock the high end features of the camera firmware, thus lowering picture quality. But as you have to unlock the BL to boot a non-stock kernel...

The only thing that stops me from moving permanently to this or cm roms is the camera and battery life. The quality is far from what you will have with stock. Performance is excellent though, Nice and fluid and fast with a lot to customise but in my opinion I'd rather stay on stock for the camera and battery life

---

I am trying to install this from TWRP, and am probably doing something stupid, but the install errors with "E:Error executing updater binary in zip "/External_SD blah blah.zip".
Any thoughts? TIA!
EDIT:
I found that by installing the M5 kernel I could sideload the rom via ADB. Must be something with the DualRecovery and your ROM?.... sorry if this is posted somewhere.

Are you sure that your zipfile is downloaded correctly?
