Bootloader unlock - Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers

Is there any way to backup the drm keys? I want to unlock the bootloader on my xz2 but I want to be able to come back. Also, are features like DSEE HX, clear Audio, etc. Lost after bootloader unlock? I'm running android 10

You cannot do a backup of the DRM keys. Audio features are not affected by the bootloader unlock. You loose HD capabilities in Netflix, screen enhancing features and the camera takes a small hit, as I understand.

Has anyone tried an alternative camera app? Like Pro Capture? Unlock bootloader?

I use apps for an alternative camera experience I rather like, I own both Pro Capture and Camera 360 paid versions. How well do they work on the z1? How about with an unlocked boot loader? I'm hearing that the camera doesn't work after unlocking the bootloader. Even with the boot loader locked, I'm wondering how well the photos look compared to the stock camera. I've been reading some bad things about the picture quality.
I know its not out yet, but I've read some of you already have it. No one's tried a 3rd party camera app vs stock camera app? I'm surprised no reviews have touched base on using alternative apps.

[Q] Do apps require special coding to utilize X-Reality & Triluminos technologies?

Straight forward question in the subject.
The stock Sony "Albums" app vs. QuickPic or similar 3rd party app, will Albums display the pictures better because it calls specific functions or utilizes code to call in X-Reality engine enhancements?

Unfortunately, I can't give you a straight answer. Here's an interesting video on the topic, though:
Specific functions would explain why only the Sony app is taking advantage of the optimizations, but I haven't found any hard evidence to that end yet.

I'm just wondering if I should TiBu the Albums app and hide it from updates, and use QuickPic or similar since IMHO it's superior and less bloaty. I don't want to drop all that rich buttery goodness though that is X-Reality :/
So conflicted.. can anyone else chime their $0.02 in?
If you lose X-Reality you will never notice a difference. I have it switched off. I use many "Albums" and the pics look good to me like with X-Reality and stock Album.

[Q] Music effects not working

Hello,
Does anyone know if the sount effects work without DRM licences. Because I unlocked my xperia z1 without backing up my TA partition. Do DRM licences influente sound effects? Or it's a bug with the current software? (14.2.A.1.136)

(Q) Camera drm questions

Hi CM camera quality seems to be very low, especially when taking photos in low light.
Does anyone know of mods to improve quality or re enable BIONZ?
Or maybe a port of stock camera+a drm hack? Anyone tried the stock camera on CM with the new DRM hack?

Very bad camera - some fix?

Hello,
Is there some app or something else for fixing photo qualitty?
I tried pexo cam, cyberian cam...
I tried also another photo app...
I know, than camera sucks but some users have got good results (without photoshop etc...) - hardware is good so that is software problem
I've got z3c slimm 3.6 (.291 marchmallow) with xposed
Thank you
Did you open bootloader? If you have open bootlader is normal because you lost DRM, you could use a kernel o rom with DRM fix.
No, i didnt

If the phone was brand new you should ask to sony for warranty because is not normal mine take great photos with sony camera and I use camera fx as well with great performance, have you check that bootloader is not open, did you?
It was new one, never be unlocked
Have you tried with camera fx? Do you still have warranty? You should ask for it to Sony I have one z3c, and some friends had one and the camera work fine with a good quality. You can read and see others users on internet and camera is ok.

This phone's camera lens are bad, sony fixes it with its software, drm. If you unlock your bootloader, drm will be gone and you will see the real quality of your lens.
