2. How often will you provide updates?

-- Please download SuperSu from PlayStore and open it and install the binary.

4. Which gApps to use?

Tips

1. Missing the stock Sony UI? Check out this awesome theme - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thomassafca.theme.sonyuxp.free

2. Getting lots of battery drains because of apps like Facebook? - Go to Settings--->Developer Options and enable Developer Shortcut. After using an app like Facebook, go to the recent apps menu and press and hold on the app in the list and you will see the option for force stop. Note:- Force stopping an app will prevent the app from starting again on it's own unless the user himself starts the app [so you won't receive any notifications but your phone is guaranteed to get deep sleep:D]

3. Laggy launcher? I'd recommend using Nova. It's much smoother than Launcher3

4. Music Lover? Viper4Android works perfect on this rom:D - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2191223

Note:- Please install it as a system app so that it does not get killed by the system

5. Working walkman - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48165168&postcount=337

6. Want to play 1080p videos? Please install MX Player. It can play even 1080p vids in H/W mode:)
