Flashed the rom and gapps slim mini
Flashing in recovery takes like forever so be patient.

Nice bootanimation
Call sms wifi data working
GPS working
Camera , video recording and playing working

Home launcher is cool. With limited home settings .
Music , Galleryand video apps are awesome. Thanks for that.
Could not find the sony camera app not a problem for me.
Data was not working initailly so had to add the apn setting manually. this is the first rom i flashed i had to do this but Data works adter adding APN. :)

lacking or could not find it
Buttons in the setting don’t have option to customize like long press menu to recents.

got 2 random reboot just after picking up the phone and pressing home to wake up. will see if this continues m back to my nandroid back up.
