Any news on camera/DRM fix? - Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers

Hey, I noticed the snapdragon sources were released a month ago while reading another thread, does that mean we are close to a camera fix? It's the only thing holding me back from buying this phone.

Please read and understand the twrp thread.
Then you would know the newest informations about TWRP, DRM and AOSP and why these things are not working.
You can ask these things there.

[Q] Custom Recovery?

I was glad to see the Root posted, has anyone seen anything on a custom recovery, such as Clockwork Mod or (preferably TWRP)?

I didn't know ROOT was available until I saw your post - I checked out Chainfire's CF Autoroot thread and found that he did indeed post a download for the TMOBILE NOTE 4 - you will find more information here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/orig-development/sm-n910-cf-auto-root-t2897428

I don't think I want to root my phone just yet seeing that it would void the warranty I'll wait until a root that does mess with the kNOX comes out

I really wanted to hold out too. But I just cant anymore. especially with all the great developers getting on this device. I know the Custom ROM support will be great and it helps to really debloat the device. Anyway I wont be going without any protection. Im getting the Note 4 and then i will purchase SquareTrade's $100 for 2 years Insurance in case anything goes wrong. I still haven't voided Knox on my Dad's S5 or my Note Pro 12.2 because I'm so paranoid.

someone might want to post over at the TWRP website, and see what files they need to get a TWRP going for this phone.

I looked for the right place to "volunteer" to help supply this information, but I don't see any place to post over on the TWRP web site and I don't see a general thread in XDA for TRWP (they all seem to be phone specific and I don't want to hijack them). Can you please point me out a link?

MIUI Global ROM for Oneplus 3T?

Hello,
I am new to this forum and got my OP3t updated with Chinese version of MIUI with help of this forum. but i don't like it. i like MIUI the most in androids.
is there any chances of availability of MIUI global ROM sooner?
What other OS do you suggest i should try for simplicity and best performance?

I don't think that will be happening anytime soon..
That is something that I have been looking for as well but to no vail..
So far there are three Roms.. right now I am downloading the third one which is taking like forever.
I will let you know how it is.
When it will be outdated?

This is something weird. MIUI ROM is available for outdated mobiles and not keeping it self with latest models? It's very good chance for MIUI to take over the legacy system of Android with new flavour as i found most people loving it. I hope they will lunch soon before the OP3T model also become outdated and i change it with something else..

Yeah, you are right..
I actually have been looking at the possibility of porting the Global myself.
The closest phone that matches OP3T specs is the Mi 5s Plus.. so porting it should be fairly easy for Rom developers.

Hi. Did you do a port or did you build from stock ROM?
I have a oneplus 3t and i have worked on miui patchrom in the past with another device and couldn't get it to boot.
I may try and attempt porting for oneplus 3t, i guess the options are to either port from Mi 5s Plus ROM or use patchrom from stock Oneplus rom.
I didn't use patch rom. I tried to port it following someone's instructions but I couldn't figure out why it keep failing.

I did have a flushable build but I think my updater script was what was causing the problem. I needed the phone to be working at all times so I had to leave the project unfinished.
I will try to look up the instructions and will post here.

In a text form, most that don't know will take "can" and "will" as the same thing. Hence, why I said "false hope"... I learned that only YOU know what YOUR taking about. Trying to get others to understand in a forum is a whole different ball game. I'm not getting bent out of shape, but to hint to someone, that you "can" fix your phone if you look at a particular section; is just wrong. Especially, when it's not a fix present. Just my 2 cents...

I can't remember a real heat.
Or it got fixed.
Which hardware revision do you have?
And remember.
Samsung hates open source.
The update policy is crap.
And the exynos kills real custom ROM development, even with treble.

For what I have seen there are already some roms in development and root, which isn't available for our phone closed with DRM protection.
But at least something is coming out for S9, nothing for the Xperia.
By the way there is Snapdragon version of S9 which is amazing and powerful, so would be a good alternative, but I would not need it if they would fix these basic bugs.
How to know about hardware revision? I know I got H8314 model.

Yes, thanks to project treble, but they can't fix device specific things.
It should be on the box of the smartphone.
Abs after the official announcement, that the XZ2 and XZ2c are part of the open source programm, then you can also use the treble Roms and Sony's aosp image and some guys will make device specific roms.

Xz2 Compact REV 1 on the box...it doesn't sounds good. Maybe I should send it for warranty and try to get fixed touch and overheating, since it's the first version and they with the next ones fixed other issues.
Anyone having trouble installing this? Doesn't seem want to to install via OTA on my H8296 with 1314-9934 (IN) firmware, keep getting "Could not install."
I'll have to reboot and try again.

Eh, not yet.
I just used newflasher and Xperifirm and did it manually. Seems OK. Often this is a problem with Sony's updater software. Seen similar issues like this with the XZ and XZ1 where for some reason random updates just don't go (and if I wasn't lazy I'd check the logs to see where the problem lies ).
Does this mean you're OTA went normally for .26?
