Xperia Z5 STYLE 4.5 (Stable)

Xperia Z5 STYLE 4.5 and Xperia Z5 STYLE 4.5b3-f2 are here!

Today, I'm very glad to announce that Xperia Z5 STYLE 4.5 has finally reached an adecuate state to be released as a Stable ROM. You'll probably have many doubts, so I'll try to clarify as many as I can.
First things first, I'd like to thank all the >350 ACTIVE DAILY USERS of the beta releases for their support, and their help by reporting as many bugs as they were able to find, as well as sending ideas and an excelent feedback. Without them, this wouldn't have been possible.

Now to the main thing: There are currently rolling out an OTA for the Beta Channel, and the main ROM for the Stable Channel.
The OTA will install some fixes and additions I introduced in the Stable Channel release (Mainly, they're: the S-Force 3D Surround support, the SysCtl fix, an update for the Notes app, and the new 100% rounded analog clock in the lockscreen).

If you're a newcomer (currently in Sony's Stock ROM), or you want to upgrade from 4.0:
· Download the ROM from the link below
· (From the recovery, do a Nandroid Backup if you want to)...
· Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik cache, BUT do not wipe System (This step is not mandatory if you're upgrading from 4.0).
· Flash the Zip.
· Profit!

If you're a betatester:
· An OTA, called 4.5b3-f2 will prompt soon on your device. When it appears, download it.
· If asked, choose not to wipe anything.
· When your device reboots, press the Vol+ button to trigger TWRP when you see the Blue LED blinking. Thankfully, the OpenRecoveryScript will do the rest of the work for you. If not, just install the Zip from /sdcard/OTA-Updater/download/ROM.
· Profit!

You've detailed info on this, step by step explained, in the XDA, HTCmanía and DarkSideTeam threads.

If there were any other minor fixes after this releases, they'll come as an OTA to both Stable and Beta Channel, so, there's NO NEED as of today to join the Beta channel, unless you want to receive upcoming beta releases in the future.
I hope everything is as clear as possible. Enjoy it!
