Just wanted to know your thoughts about this subject. I've recently bought a Xperia Z3 Compact and I am not really sure which one of them I should chose.
I saw couple of mods around, but still don't know which one to try. If someone who's a veteran around and knows his way could help me I'd be grateful.
Hello everyone just hoping someone can help, now be open minded about this basically I am more than satisfied with my sp and use it as my daily driver instead of my Z2 and Flex 2 butttt lately the front facing camera has being more than frustrating I know it's only VGA and thats the reason so my question is how hard/possible would it be to replace the camera with a better one maybe 1 or 2 Mp I know a lot of DIY would be involved.
Any help is appreciated :good:
i hope too that someone has a solution for this
I believe its virtually impossible, SP is not modular in design, thus you have to change supportive hardware and recreate drivers to mobilize them.

hi fellas, i have been searching all over the internet on how to root this sony xperia C6903 (docomo/japan variant) i got it with global rom already installed, how to root this device? i really want the android 7.1 from xda, and that 20mp superior auto feature, i'm just a newbie on this game, i honestly have no idea how things work, call me stupid but i couldn't trust the only tutorial here that got a lot of views but no successful review.
Right guys,
new owner today of a xz2 but its got so much virgin (UK) branding,
im looking to root and possibly flash a custom firmware ,
my main use of my phone apart from taking calls is the camera,
so any preference to which rom to flash reference the camera being better?
tried searching but is there not a gcam mod for this variant?
Thanks

Better stay on stock for now for the best camera experience. And there is no gcam support, since stock doesn't support RAW.
Unlocking will kill the nose reduction in low light conditions.
But after the aosp camera came out of beta, you can use it and use gcam on it.

You're welcome.

What virgin branded stuff is there? Mine came with just the app to check account balance and a few non virgin apps that I uninstalled.
Virgin WiFi, Virgin app, and about 3 others, I have disabled now
Struggling with the phone throttling whilst gameplay
You can always flash an unbranded rom This is what i did to get rid of the stuff bundled by my operator. You do not need root or unlocked bootloader just need to download the firmware from xperifirm and flash it
Hello,
Without any doubt I can say that XZ Premium was my favorite phone, many mods, ports and ROMS. Changed it to OP 7Pro and Im also satisfied with XDA support but it wasnt enough so...
I bought XZ3 Dual 4/64 with A10 and 52.1.A.3.137 firmware. Read all possible topics here and Im totally confused what to do, could you help me out?
I dont really know should I unlock bootloader because I would like to have Sony Camera functions like 4K HDR etc.... but
I cant stand button navigation on stock, I would love to have gestures.
I dont need Sony audio enhancement because I mostly use V4A, what forces me to unlock BL and keep root.
I thought about SailfishOS but I need few android apps like messaging or banking app, cant live without it.
Thought about LineageOS but there are problems with crackling speaker, camera app, gcam not working, and I like sony stock apps but I dont mind using google apps instead, not a fan of lineage apps. Present magisk/hide is apprecatied.
Not a fan of A12- read that camera app is not working with a12, never flashed nor used A12.
No matter what I choose- there are downsides, so what will be the best choice?
Totally sad that XZ3 is not as supported as XZP, I would love to support XZ3 development but Im so underdeveloped that I only use whats given on xda ((
Have a great day!
Hello,
I'm at the same point as you. I'm a previous user of LineageOS on a Galaxy S7. That one had a lot of flaws but was still much, much better than anything that forces gapps on me, even though maybe the S7 version was the worst LineageOS ever. I also used it on S5 and S3. No LineageOS was perfect, but superior over all other ROMs I tried.
The thing that bothers me about the camera is: I can't find information about where the issue is after unlocking. People say it performs worse. But is it a driver thing you can't fix or is it just the Sony camera app? I get no answer here. If it's just the Sony camera app that is decapitated after unlocking, you should just get rid of this peace of crap and replace it with Open Camera. You can then switch to Camera 2 API and disable this awful edge enhancement and actually make good photos. The only downside is that Open Camera doesn't apply proper shutter time for very dark conditions automatically. 4k HDR also seems to work. But remember: I'm still on the original ROM and I don't know if anything will be different after unlocking. I would be thankful if someone could give any information about it.
You should be able to use almost any app on LineageOS. I use FDroid and Aurora as app managers. Some apps check for root or custom ROMs and refuse to work if they find it. I don't use any banking apps on Android. Maybe they do a root check. I can't tell you. You may use the web page of your bank instead. Telegram and Signal both work on LineageOS, I've never tried WhatsApp though.
What's the best option isn't an easy decision for the XZ3. There are always downsides on custom ROMs. The problem is that we can find almost no information on what exactly doesn't work as usual after unlocking, so we can't make our decision. I don't expect to find much help, if I encounter problems after unlocking.
I also spend hours and days trying to get information about all of this and didn't find what I need to know. The crackling speakers problem on LineageOS for example is new to me. Can you give me further information about it or provide a link? Have made any progress since your post here?
