i'm comming from LX 4.3.1 ...
can i just flash .img file over fastboot and install the .zip rigth away ??

nope
u hv to first flash kernel from zip
then wipe system-data-cache from mount storage option
then factory settings wipe
then wipe cache and delvik cache
then only flash zip rom and gapps

as its kernel different with partition
chances less to restore urs apps from 4.3.1 ROM:(:confused:
so clean install for 4.4.2 ROM always:laugh::D:cowboy:
