4.2 CHANGELOG:

1. Screen, the contrast is much higher, black text on a light background looks very good.

2. Camera, the quality and speed of focusing even when shooting movies is better.

The camera is much faster is focussing and taking a picture. The quality is also better than before. Colour calibration is much much better this time around.

Can't really comment on the low light performance, Is slightly better but can't really be sure.

Overall the phone seems much faster. The radio is also better as I get much better 3G signal than on 4.1.2. WiFi performance is also better.

Bug fixes and performance enhancements

To keep root capability in 4.2.2

You CANNOT flash using flashtool. You need to UPDATE over the air only.

If you use flashtool, everything gets formatted completely (the /system partition), thus root capability is permanently lost.

If you need to preserve root you need to wait till you have the OTA Update in your region, and then update.

Never flash via flashtool if you want to preserve your root capability.
