This kernel should work, also zombie will work.
Btw zombie kernel has best dt2w implementation so far,but it need to be inabled by writing init.d script.

---

Should I unlock the bootloader to use this ROM?

---

Oh yeah, I was thinking of asking the same thing if this one is for locked or unlocked device.

Thanks for that, advance features like dt2w and ckal control aren't working though but I think those need custom kernel so that's a no go for locked device like mine. Flashlight on quick settings isn't working. Sound enhancement is fantastic, I thought I forgot viper4android for a while. Will test more on this.

DT2W is kernel related, and implemented a bit differently, so it can be either enabled in kernel or not. Switch won't make difference.
Flashlight also won't work, as we don't have it.
Rom was made for z3, which have a physical flash.
In order to make kcal working you need to enable init.d
To do so, you need to go to your external SD card and locate XZDualRecovery folder.
There you fill find a XZDR.prop file.
Enable init.d by setting this line:
dr.initd.active=true
And reboot your phone.

Ok, thanks for that. Btw stock camera default at 20mp for 4:3 ratio and 16mp for 16:9, changing it to 8mp causes fc, no big deal as it's ported from Z3.

Just stick to 20 and 16, I think it's worth it...you have some additional settings.

Same on phone in ES explorer, but it seems that I can browse the root files.

You can just flash Xposed uninstaller, no need to reflash rom.
Gravity is more for aosp, use Serajr module.
With root.
You can try to unroot with SuperSu, in the settings.
Then either try to install it from market,or flash the super su zip.
Did you wipe system before installing?
As I don't have root problem.

To be honest it had a bit of panick an hour before leaving for work. Cos the rom went in loop and it wont let me boot into recovery. So I had to use flashtool to hotboot dual recovery and reflash (all just by activating gravitybox in xposed). But now sorted.

Yeah, no luck in the root dept. ES FILE EXPLORER and ROOT EXPLORER don't have root...I enable root access as Enable Root pop-up appears but nothing happens....I redownloaded rom like 3 times, thinking maybe a bad d/l....cleaned flashed like 5 times still no dice....have no idea why...can't delete system apps or make any modifications...
