doing a manual update shouldn't hurt/damage your phone, if something goes wrong start the whole process all over. if you install a custom ROM you have to unlock your bootloader (this might void your warranty and will delete your DRM keys forever) might be an issue if it's not a good ROM.

Sony's UIX creates a lot of lag, you should use a different Home launcher and a different dialer app
