Basically one of the main reason we people flash custom roms is for getting maximum battery juice out of our small device.

I know we have only 2200 mah battery.

But most of the people in this forum prefer custom roms having best battery backup.

So all i request users in this forum using 4G with VoLTE to provide the maximum SOT they got with any rom they are using.

It will help others in this forum to not to go into each rom's discussions and find out which one is battery efficient rom.

REMEMBER : "if you are posting your screenshot of the SOT , be specific about the rom's date, and be specific if you are using any custom kernel or any apps to save battery"

I have no intentions what so ever to hurt any one by this thread :)

Peace ;)

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gdhgeorge1:
Hello everyone,

As a first time noob trying to root my Sony Xperia Z5 Compact (E5803), I lost my DRM keys since I made no backup. Now I am searching for a way to get the functionality of the camera, bluetooth, x-reality, and more back. I currently still have an unlocked bootloader and am running stock Android Nougat (32.3.A.0.376). Can someone please tell me how I can restore the DRM keys and the TA partition? I don't need root anymore, and I have had no luck making TWRP recovery work.

Please, I just desperately want my phone to work as it did before.

Thank you very much in advance!
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Horst the Animal:
If your DMR Keys are deleted and you have no backup of them, than there are gone, it is not possible to get them back.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harry_turtle:
You can use a custom kernel that 'tells' the DRM keys are there, that fixes your issue.

Somewhere there is an instruction how to build your own kernel (super easy) with DRM fix. I couldn't find it so good luck looking for it :p
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gdhgeorge1:
Thanks for replying! Yeah, I assumed that would be the case. But I found this post that says I can flash a "drmrestore" zip package so I can simulate that the keys are still there: https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/xperia-z1-z2-z3-series-devices-drm-t2930672

The thing is, in order to flash it, I need TWRP recovery, right? I have been unable to successfully install TWRP. Is there an easy way to install it?

Thanks again!
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gdhgeorge1:
Thanks a lot for replying! If I find this post where I can create my own kernel, I will have to unlock the bootloader again and flash the new custom firmware using flashtool, right?

Also, will I have to downgrade to Lollipop, since Nougat is pretty new on Sony phones and there's no drm fix for that?

Thanks again! :)
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dean F:
My advice to you in your situation.

dont worry about building your own kernel. I have attached the Androplus Kernel for z5c, nougat build 376 - flash this kernel onto your phone.

You have adb right?

1. unzip the attachment on this post to get the boot.img file (the androplus kernal for your current build)

2. Turn off your phone, and unplug from USB

3. Go into fastboot mode - Hold Volume Up and plug in USB cable, notice LED turns blue.

4. Run the commant "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (takes about 2 seconds to complete)

Boot your phone, go into Settings -> Display -> Image enhancement . Then check X-Reality is working by toogling it off and on and see if the image of the tomatos changes colors. If the tomatoes change color, then congratulations - you dont have to worry about your lost DRM keys! You have full functionality!

Im pretty sure everything will be ok after this. It's a great kernel - good battery and all the functionality is there.

You do not need TWRP, you do not need to downgrade to lollipop or marshmellow or anything like that.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gdhgeorge1:
Will try!

Thank you so, so much! I will try this and report back with my results! :D
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gdhgeorge1:
I apologize for replying with my report this late.

It turns out I re-locked my bootloader in the process when I flashed Android Nougat, since I had bricked it temporarily. To do the procedure you mentioned above, I need to have it un-locked, correct?

If that is the case, when I try to unlock the bootloader, I cannot access fastboot because whenever I press VOL UP key with adb, the light flashes blue and then red and then boots into the OS normally. Same with flashmode (the light turns green, and then red, finally booting into the OS). :(

Does anyone have a solution for this, please?

Thank you very much!
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dean F:
Go into Developer settings and make sure the allow OEM unlocking option is enabled. Then follow sony's unlocking instructions. Once thats done, try again.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gdhgeorge1:
Thank you for your reply, Dean F.

OEM unlocking option and USB debugging were already enabled. It should have technically been working by now. :( Could it have something to do with some drivers I have to re-install?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gdhgeorge1:
It worked!!

UPDATE:

I was able to bypass the blue-red notification light problem and was able to unlock the bootloader and flash the boot.img file, so camera and X-Reality are working normally now!! Thank you so, so much for your help! :D

I have one question, please. Will I lose the camera functionality and X-Reality, etc., if I re-lock the bootloader?

Also, in the future, if there are any updates to the Nougat OS, will they break these functions once again?

Thanks again!
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dean F:
You can lock the bootloader again, however I dont think there is any point in doing that. You should not use auto updates anymore, or yes, it will break those functions. Auto updates technically never work on any rooted phone. If you want to updateto a newer build you will need download it and flash it with xperifirm/flashtool (which is a good reason to keep your bootloader permanently unlocked). You've already lost your DRM keys, so I think your phone should remain a rooted model for the rest of its life. Really no point in going back to stock with no keys.

Personally, I am also running 376 build, with the androplus kernel, debloated (i debloated with another kernel, once finished, then used androplus). I removed even the software update and support apps. I applied the volume fix (if you are having the low volime issue?). Considering this phone is running Android 7.0, already has the best kernel (androplus), i think its safe to leave the phone like this for the remainder of its life. I dont really care about any minor upgrates to nougat, and we are not getting Android 8.0. so I recommend if everything is working now, just leave the phone in its current state. will save you a lot of stress.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gdhgeorge1:
Thanks for replying. My phone is actually not rooted, I just checked with the Root Checker app from the Play Store. Besides, there is no SuperSu or Superuser apps installed. Additionally, in the Xperia Service Menu, it says "Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes," so I guess this means the bootloader was re-locked somehow when I flashed the boot file.

Form the looks of things, I'm back where I started before losing the DRM keys, minus the stock Sony music equalizer (in which, even though the controls can be changed, the sound itself doesn't change). I'm guessing there's no fix for that, right?

Anyway, I checked the volume and it sounds fine, just like it did before.

Thank you so much for your assistance, Dean F! :)
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dean F:
Correct your phone is not rooted because the androplus kernel is not a rooted kernel. It is simply a custom kernel with some optimizations, and includes the DRM fix. If you want to do some maintenance while rooted, flash a rooted kernel (i will attach one to this post for you). Once rooted do what you need to do - like debloat,remove apps with Titanium Backup, and once you are finished - flash the Androplus kernel again. The idea is just to give you root for a tempory peroid to customize your device, before going back to a safer, optimized, non rooted state for every day usage.

If you have androplus kernel, i don't believe it is possible to be in a state where DRM functions are not working, as it contains the kernel DRM fix.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gdhgeorge1:
Excellent, I see now, thanks! :)

Well, what I wanted before starting the entire process was a permanent root solution, one that would allow me to access features like Root Explorer on ES File Explorer, or extra features in Link2SD and such, when the opportunity arose. That is what I did with all my previous smartphones, even a Sony Z1 Compact, but this has been the hardest phone to root I've ever handled.

After all the trial and error I've faced, I will take your good advice and leave it as is for now. In the future, I will flash the rooted kernel when I need to use those functions, and use the androplus kernel you had sent me previously to get it back to normal.

Thank a bunch again for all your help, Dean F. You revived my phone, so to speak! :D

Cheers!

[Honor 8 Pro  Accessories] brljak83:
You give us a good choise here but as much as I can see no pull bag

That was in the first place the first kind of cases as much I remember and

later came the flip cases and other bags for phones...

I usually use for case always a bit bigger pull bag.. couse I always put the phone in a siple transparent case and then again in the

pull bag ( pouch bag ) and of course the screen protect is also on my phones...

So big securty for me.. but sometimes I just go and put everything of the phone just to

get the feeling for the phone.. couse we all trade the feeling how the phone feels in the hand ''naked'' for some

kind of cases and other stuff..
[Honor 8 Pro  Accessories] MrHuman:

Soo much more slimmer then the Rinke, and the blue looks sweet :)
[Honor 8 Pro  Accessories] mydragoon:
it looks nice and simple. for the front part, does it have a "lip" protruding out a bit -- i mean, when you place the phone screen down, it will be slightly higher up so the screen don't get scratched... sorry, don't know how to explain it.

but sadly, no transparent/ clear colour... i prefer that to show off the honor8pro's design... :D
[Honor 8 Pro  Accessories] MrHuman:
It is pretty snugg with the glass, maybe half a mm petruding lip, wouldn't call it a lip. I actually like it, this way then a lip, though I am a cautious guy and appreciate protection when it comes to phones, rarely drop em etc. and this just highlights the thin profile of this beauty more then most cases.

Hello, everyone.

I recently purchased a T-Mobile MDA branded Tytn. I am using an o2 PAYG SIM card and have unlocked the Tytn for this.

Now I am faced with the problem that the signal is *always* weak and I have not yet managed to dial out a successful telephone call. Text messages barely get through and if they do, it takes an awful long time too.

Could anyone suggest anything such as settings or further ROM updates. My current ones are as follows.

O2's official ROM update to Windows Mobile 6 Pro. Says on the "About" screen CE OS 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3).

Device Information:

ROM Version: 3.54.206.1

ROM date: 06/25/07 (this is odd as this is in American format, not British. British would be 25/06/07).

Radio Version: Updated to 1.54.30.10 as a possible solution to my problem. No joy.

Protocol version: 32.87.7020.20H

ExtROM Version: 3.54.206.101

If there's any more information you need, please let me know. Bear in mind I am completely new to all this. I'm not savvy on jargon, so if you feel like you're being patronising, you probably aren't.

So i have been searching all around the web for a dark/black pixel launcher for moto g4 plus (I kinda not like the white background :D) . The solution I found was to install substratum with the Swift Black theme.

My current rom is Resurrection Remix [OMS] , so if your rom doesn't support substratum I recommend changing to this RR rom .

Link for RR rom >>>

https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/development/rom-resurrection-remix-n-5-8-0-t3507275

Installing the theme will make all the apps go black but you can select only Pixel Launcher / certain apps according to your need . { Btw, From my experience apart from Facebook, all other apps look cool in black like Whatsapp , Instagram etc. }

Substratum app & theme can be can be found on the playstore .

If your doesn't have pixel launcher you can find the flashable zip from this thread :fingers-crossed: >>>

Please note that XDA rules are applicable via PM too, and you can be reported for violating rules there.

Swift Black is such a beautiful theme, and it's obvious the developer puts in a crazy amount of effort to theme all apps up to date. Please don't encourage piracy, or means to circumvent purchasing it. It's hardly ₹99, very much affordable if you're able to pay for a ₹15K phone.

Greetings fellow Note 3 users :p I have a small inquiry regarding the stock samsung keyboard.

Using Emoji Switcher from the Play Store/xda thread, I was able to swap those ugly as hell samsung emojis with EmojiOne instead. Not only does it replace emojis, but it also adds new ones (racially diverse emojis, burroto, extra smilies etc).

The kicker here is that the stock samsung keyboard does not show those extra emojis, just the ones that shipped with the phone (they are replaced with EmojiOne though). Using gboard and other 3rd party keyboards gave me access to those new emojis, but I always come back to the samsung keyboard due it's speed and comfort xD

Is there anyway I can show the extra emojis on the samsung keyboard along the already replaced ones??
