:( I'm having trouble downloading the torrent file for c6502 not any peers. Will take forever. The other option I don't understand how it works :(
Have you viewed this link yet? http://zbigz.com/page-quickstart

It's really easy. You don't have to create an account, but if you do, your download will be kept safe for you to grab for a longer time compared to when downloading as an anonymous user.

when using deodex zip through this tool my device getting hang at sony logo,and after deodexed rom install through twrp ,is it require to flash Flash stripped FTF through flash tool
If you want to deodex it's mandatory to finish this guide first, inlcuding the FTF (it contains baseband, modem firmware and the kernel). Then after you finish it's setup run the tool to deodex it.

Put 'C65XX_10.5.A.0.230.flashable.zip' on (the external) SDcard1;
Put 'C65XX_10.5.A.0.230_Stripped.ftf' inside the Flashtool/firmwares folder;
Create a backup of your phone in TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard' (the internal storage!);
Flash 'C65XX_10.5.A.0.230.flashable.zip' in TWRP (if you notice your phone reboot during the update process, update to the latest XZDualRecovery and try again);
NOTE: do not reboot but go back to the main menu, then go to reboot->power off;
Flash everything in 'C65XX_10.5.A.0.230_Stripped.ftf' using flashtool;
Reboot to system.

I tried to use the tool to deodex after using this update and got a continuous boot screen. Made a backup first but I remember at the end of the deodex it showed 1 file missing, and I believe it said it was classes.dex. And my final size was 333MB also which I read was smaller than it should have been. But the update worked perfectly on unlocked 6506 w/.101 and 88 user apps + gem, serajr xposed, gravity box and xtheme. No lags, no drain, 1 GB free ram minimum, and the lockscreen pixie dust which was huge on a clean install was tiny like I think it should be with this update flash. Great work.

If you did zipalign when you deodex with kamome tool, please re-deodex without zipalign.
Also please try installing SuperSU or superuser with zip after you flash deodexed zip.
C65XX_10.5.A.0.230.flashable.zip puts superuser.apk to /system/app/, so maybe something breaks it and cause losing root access...

[EDIT]
I should reload before posting:crying:
I'll update kamome tool to save log file.

Here is the kamome tool v5.
kamome tool v5 (mirror)
It will save progress and error to log.txt.

Not blaming you awesome work Nut, I only want know if anyone is getting same error, maybe Sony fault or 4.4 changes.

Anyone getting FC in live wallpapers?

And seems to me that they reload the LWP every time I unlock the phone. Maybe anything related to another wallpaper in lock screen?
