What screenshot do you need?

It's just Aosp look-alike ROM.... Just like every other custom roms out there
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] gauravbhakuni90:
Have you used any i mean any AOSP CAF based ROM ??
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] arjunnairk:
no

ok, Was suggesting it would be nice to see in the OP
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] gauravbhakuni90:
OK head over to any AOSP CAF based rom an BBS see if they have screenshot. It will be the same here.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] Vidhanth:
Cuz it's a pain to upload screenshots for every thread, plus we're lazy (to take ss, transfer to PC, upload only 4 at a time), plus hey, we're building you a fully functional rom which takes a lot of time from our personal life so try to appreciate that. Users try out Roms, they can post screenshots too. ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] vimal101:
I'll fix it soon
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] vimal101:
Lmao exactly
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] gauravbhakuni90:
Dear [MENTION=7116412]vimal101[/MENTION] Brother, Do you entertain feature request ??

If yes please all I am asking is

1. FM Radio

2. Night mode / Reading mode .

Thank you very much.

P.S. And yes that Bluetooth speaker/headphone bug too.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] vimal101:
ok its noted
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] gauravbhakuni90:
Another thing bro while shooting video through default camera app. It record for 1 sec and then stop without saving the video .

Didn't face this in Slim.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] vimal101:
Yeah it's video recording issue will be fixed in the next update
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] gauravbhakuni90:
Tried camera M,footej cam,and opencam.

Camera M is the same. No video storage.

Footej - On selecting video cam. See the image

Opencam - Records and save videos but 4/5 times.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] puppetminds:
Hope this thread gets more attention as it offers some potential for further development.

Anyways, anyone tried the 29th Aug build under the test folder?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] zenjedi:
Its a shame this rom was not given its due. I remember really liking it when I had it on. Bluetooth was a hassle and since the dev never came around to fixing it, I had to move on. I wouldn't try a test build unless the dev asks to.
[Magisk] Limoneytoo:
Hello i'm new in the forum :fingers-crossed: i have an xperia m5 E5603 and i try to install magisk so i can use apps that i can't use with a custom ROM my device is already rooted with super su and twrp recovery is installed any help please :confused:
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Hello and welcome to XDA.

There's a lot of information about how to install Magisk (and how to replace SuperSU with MagiskSU) in this forum already. If you look around you'll find it. Number one rule on XDA is to search before posting (I'm not kidding, look at the rules).

To start you off I can tell you that you need to first uninstall SuperSU. You can do that through the SuperSU app (full unroot, select to restore boot image if you have systemless root), or with the unSU script and then manually flash a stock boot image (you can do this in TWRP). After that you should be able to install Magisk by flashing the zip in TWRP. Since you're new, I'd recommend to stick to the stable v12 release for now.

If you encounter issues, here's a troubleshooting guide for you:

[Magisk] Limoneytoo:
thank you fo reply :) after removing super su and install magisk do i need to install super su again for my device to be rooted again ? and is there any recommended version of magisc for my xperia?
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Magisk comes with it's own root, MagiskSU, no need for SuperSU (and for what you seem to want it for, SuperSU isn't compatible). You should probably start by reading through the release thread (the whole thing, it's not that long).

Some Sony devices have issues installing Magisk. This is known... If Magisk v12 doesn't work, you could give the v13.0 beta a go and pay close attention to the info in the TWRP output when flashing. If you do decide to go for the beta, please read through the first post carefully and follow any directions to gather logs to troubleshoot issues.

If you've read through all the info available (I've given you a few good links) and are still having issues, search the support thread for your issue (pretty much everything has already been covered). If you still can't get it going, make sure you post all possible details about your issue and lots of logs (there's also a section about "Asking for help" in the troubleshooting guide I posted earlier).
[Magisk] Limoneytoo:
After lot of attemps i always got the same result a bootloop :/ thats happened before when i was trying to install the latest version of super then i release that i can only install an old version of super su but i dont know what version of magisk is recommended for my sony m5
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] fadetoj:
I've this phone for a good awhile now and I followed tenfar's thread on rooting without unlocking the bootloader. A lot has transpired since I've done that and I'm a bit confused on what is the correct route for me take in order to upgrade. I have TWRP flashed also and would like to go to Lineage. If anyone could point me into the right step that would be highly appreciative.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] fadetoj:
^Thank you. I wasn't aware of the axon 7 toolkit. I was able to unlock the bootloader and now running Lineage OS.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] HigherSensation:
Spent the past 2 hours talking to T-Mobile and Sony technical support trying to get Volte working. Basically my xzp doesn't have an option to enable Volte. Maybe someone who flashed another firmware can verify they have Volte working on T-Mobile. There should be an option in settings,more,mobile settings, enable Volte.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] VeixES:
You need Flash oem.sin from Customized US region firmware.

Trouble is, that this region is not available YET https://xpericheck.com/device/G8141

Wait and see if it appears.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] HigherSensation:
I bought the us version from Best buy my model number is G8142 (Dual SIM)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] VeixES:
So this region firmware ? https://xpericheck.com/cda/1308-6041

Can you check what modem configuration you have loaded? To do this type this in dialer *#*#7378423#*#* then "Service Info" then "Software info". there should be row called Current modem Config: What does it read?

Ideally it should read amss_fsg_maple_dsds_tmobile_us_ims_tar
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] HigherSensation:
It does not say that, please see attachment [MENTION=4530014]VeixES[/MENTION]
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] VeixES:
I downloaded the Customized US firmware and extracted the oem*.sin file. This should include instructions for phone which modem config should be loaded with the provider.

But In the oem.sin i did not find such instructions to load amss_fsg_maple_dsds_tmobile_us_ims_tar

So it matches the behaviour you have on your phone, that the default modem config is loaded (as such no VOLTE).

Sony needs to update the Customized US region firmware, so correct config is loaded with TMOUS sim card.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] HigherSensation:
Do you think if I flashing the CE firmware it'll have the settings to enable Volte on T-Mobile?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] VeixES:
No. CE1 has central european providers in the oem.sin file. Still does not know about US sim and what configuration to load.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Jake_09:
Is it possible this is the reason I have shoddy 4G signal?

Also, in the field test menu, I see there's an option to provision VoLTE. Would turning this option on solve the issue of not having VoLTE?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] VeixES:
Signal quality does not depend on the firmware flashed.

Every region firmware has all bands enabled and no artifical power limits.

You need compare side by side signal quality in dB (not signal bars) on different phones. Also making sure they are on same frequency band.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] xzent:
I have XZ F8331 and XZP G8141 from UK, all flashed customized au's system.sin and customized us's oem.sin.

Them show the LTE+ on Tmobile US network, no VoLTE
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] HigherSensation:
I've reached out to both Sony and T-Mobile and neither of them have a clue. Sony says volte is carrier dependent and T-Mobile says if it's not supported in software there's nothing they can do. Not sure what to do at $846 tax included, this is a serious deal breaker.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] ArkwinFox:
I have the same as you. Also got from Best buy and on T-Mobile.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] afuller42:
from what I can find there is no voLTE on this phone, nor is there any menus for wifi calling on US version
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] VeixES:
Even with F8331 there is no required bits in oem.sin for VoLTE. So it seems North America is left out for cold regards VoLTE on XZ/XZ Premium.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] HigherSensation:
Thanks so much for your help I truly appreciate it. I ended up returning the phone, maybe I'll repurchase down the line if the volte issue is fixed. In the past 2 weeks I've owned the xzp, htc u11 and currently using the OnePlus 5 and I have to say hands down the xzp was the best.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
Off-topic, but can I ask why?

I currently have a OP5 and it's okay... contemplating picking up the U11 or XZP though. But with the XZP having ZERO U.S. carrier support, requiring foreign firmware for a working fingerprint sensor, and a terrible lens distortion design on the camera, along with poor low light performance, front speakers that aren't loud, and some people noticing a weird pattern in the display due to the chevron pixel design... I'm curious what it even manages to do well?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] HigherSensation:
Don't believe the hype, you have to hold the xzp to appreciate it. While the speakers aren't as loud as the u11 it just sounds better and the way the phone resonates with bass is awesome. I didn't have any display issue and the camera was just fine granted I'm not a professional photographer. Only issue I had was wifi drop outs but disabling smart cleaner fixed it. The software is close to stock but has some very useful features, hands down the best phone for multimedia The music app is awesome and the screen is the best IPS LCD on the market.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Jake_09:
I too would agree with HigherSensation. I feel as though all the posts regarding the issues are far too overblown. I'm no photographer so maybe I'm just missing it, but that's fine by me. I find it odd that all these people are complaining about the Camera and Display, and yet, not a single review I've read or watched has even mentioned these issues in passing. Right or wrong, I chalk it up to either these people having a very keen eye or very particular preferences when it comes to these issues. The only thing that does bother me is how the speakers aren't as loud as I think they should be, but the quality of sound is virtually unbeatable. I prefer this phone over my Huawei Mate 9 by a decent margin. There's a lot to like here and it's really nice to see Sony actually hit the mark for once.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
I posted a few complaints up in the 24 hour impression thread. The camera distortion issue is a bit odd, but I've only noticed it when I took a picture of my keyboard.

I do wish the speakers were louder... but are you saying the quality of their sound is really good, or were you referring to headphone sound?

Despite its shortcomings I still really like this device... I also wish the camera were a bit better with processing, had full manual control, and RAW. Those things seem inexcusable.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Jake_09:
Definitely agree about the lack of manual processing and RAW pictures. Why they left those things out is a bit bewildering given that Sony makes cameras and those features are more common now than they have been in the past.

I haven't actually used headphones with this device as of yet, but the sound from the stereo speakers on the phone is among the best I've heard in some time. It actually sounds full rather than like it's being played in an aluminum can. My Huawei may be much louder, but it doesn't have near the fullness of sound as they speakers.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] VeixES:
Probably not a consolation for the XZ Premium users, but the Sony XZ1 Compact will have VoLTE with T-Mobile US.

https://xpericheck.com/cda/1310-4371

Maybe some hacking could be done to achieve it on XZ Premium(same modem etc), but most likely would need root for that.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] daviddem:
Anyone who received the Oreo update and is on T-Mobile US, can you please check if Sony added WiFi Calling and VOLTE?

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] VeixES:
No Oreo for "Customized US" as of 23.10.2017 https://xpericheck.com/cda/1308-6041

If that region fw gets updated, i will sure check the VoLTE/VoWIFI situation.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] taphius:
no volte/wifi calling on tmobile here, just flashed US oreo.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] secretsadboy:
Does fingerprint scanner work on US oreo? Or it's still locked?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] taphius:
Still disabled
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] VBBoston:
Can anyone try to install Magisk 14.0 on a rooted XZ premium and then install module called VoEnabler created by Toucan, reboot and report back if that allows VoLTE and Wifi calling on US T-mobile? You might have to dial *#*#4636#*#* then go to Phone Information to enable those functions, and also check under top right corner menu to see if IMS status is registered, also check Call settings in your dialer app, then try testing VoLTE and Wifi calling. Please report back your results for the rest of us. Thanks.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Jake_09:
So, if I go into the test menu and enable VoLTE and WiFi calling, even though I'm on the UK firmware, will they still not work?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] VBBoston:
That's what I try people to test and report back, I don't own xz premium yet
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Jake_09:
I'm not sure how to tell, if I did enable it, whether or not it was working
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] VBBoston:
Try what I suggested above with Magisk and VoEnabler and try these features - call over Wifi, call with Wifi off to someone with VoLTE enabled by default (like Oneplus, iPhone) on the SAME carrier and listen if the voice is crisp clear
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Jake_09:
Ah, I can't do that because I'm not rooted and I don't plan to. It's too much of a hassle anymore and I definitely don't want lose the DRM keys stored in the bootloader
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Ulver:
It's crazy how the XZ Premium, a device officially sold in the US doesn't get voLTE, yet my Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 gets voLTE just fine on T-Mobile. I was thinking about getting the XZP or XZ1 too.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] izyer:
its so crap that u cant flash modified version of oem.sin so at least if they didnt add the settings we could.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] pikeylfc:
It doesn't work for me. I have TMobile I live in New Jersey. I have the options in settings that's about it . However I didn't try wifi calling. I'll try that when I get home

With them breaking visual voicemail in oreo and the camera issues, this is quickly turning me off of Sony.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Heinous:
What's visual voicemail, is that like Hangouts?

Seriously T-Mobile & Sony. Get it together. I'm sitting here looking at full bars of Band 12 LTE on one of the best phones available and this is frustrating as hell. I don't want to use an iPhone or Samsung just to take advantage of the network's features...
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] taphius:
Lets you check voicemails through the phone app, instead of having to listen to the call menu. Same, I want to love this phone but they are making it hard when it doesnt have or they break features $200 phones have.

sony mobile has weird policy to carrying volte/vowifi/vilte all over world because I do not think they basically care much

even firmware contains vowifi or volte modem file but they won't enable to it for while or never :lol
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] pbarrette:
Hi pikeylfc,

If you have root, and are comfortable with the some of the inner workings of Android (build.prop's, writing to the oem files, etc), you can look at the bits that make T-Mobile work for the XZ1c.

I've attached the files from the XZ1c's OEM partition that are used to enable VoLTE.

At a minimum, you'll need the

modem-config

and the

overlay-408

folders, as well as the

overlay/com.sonymobile.customizationselector-res-305.apk

and modified versions of the

system-properties/config.prop

,

system-properties/cust.prop

and the

system-properties/408/config.prop

files.

See here for the basic overview of what's contained in the files and what's needed.

The XZ1c is on Oreo, but since the APK's are just overlaying config values, I don't think it will really matter. The "CustomizationSelector.apk" is a Sony app, and I doubt they've completely changed the way the modem and overlays get selected between Nougat and Oreo.

EDIT:

For clarity, if you're going to use these files. You need to do a comparison of the

system-properties/

files in this zip against the files you currently have on the phone.

In particular, you'll want to probably not use the

cust.prop

from this zip file at all and modify the ro.cst.prm value in the

config.prop

files.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] pikeylfc:
So for some reason I can't replace some files in the OEM folder . It's says failed when I tried to copy the modem folder . I was able to replace a few apks . What's wierd is I can copy my OEM contents but can't replace
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] pbarrette:
First thing would be to see if it's mounted as Read-Only and try remounting it as RW.

adb shell mount -o rw,remount,rw /oem

EDIT:

Also.. You may be trying to copy over the whole

modem-config

folder when you don't need to.

You only need to copy the

modem-config/408

subfolder.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] pikeylfc:
Did that . I can move things out of the folders but not in

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] pbarrette:
Can you mount the OEM partition from TWRP and write files to it?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Heinous:
Aside from trying to find a workaround, is there anything we can do to motivate T-Mobile/Sony to just make this work? It's clearly not that difficult, as they did it for the XZ1 Compact. The fact that they enabled that one makes this whole situation even more frustrating. Why the "bottom" model? Why the one likely to get the lowest sales in the US?

Who do we petition? Who should we pester on Twitter, etc.? Apparently they payed enough attention to address the camera distortion...
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] pikeylfc:
Tried it. No luck
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] pbarrette:
Which software version are you using and how did you install it?

According to this post, it seems that Sony had a bootloader and/or partition issue that prevented writing to the OEM partition even if your bootloader was unlocked unless you were using the 45.0.A.7.137 or newer firmware.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] VBBoston:
Were you able to copy the files to OEM partition and that did not activate VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling OR you mean no luck copying the files?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] pikeylfc:
It would just say failed to move . It's weird because I moved a file out of OEM folder and it wouldn't let me put it back in lol. I was on the 137 FW. I'm on oero now

---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------

So I just copied all these files over on oero and I can confirm it works ? I now can make calls without losing lte
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] VeixES:
Nice :) So now, there is some skill needed to make a patch-able ZIP file for the rooted XZ Premium / XZ1 users and its golden?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] VBBoston:
? Could you make screenshots/screen records of VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling in action?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] pikeylfc:
Yes . I'll do that now

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] pikeylfc:
Here is WiFi calling
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] pbarrette:
You should really validate that you kept your model specific values in:

/oem/system-properties/config.prop

/oem/system-properties/cust.prop

/oem/system-properties/408/config.prop

Otherwise, you'll end up with properties like this:

ro.build.description=G8441-user 8.0.0 47.1.A.2.281 1077487757 release-keys

ro.product.name=G8441

ro.cst.prm=1310-4371:R8B

Edit:

For what it's worth, I tried creating a flashable zip, but I've always had issues with shell scripting and couldn't figure out how to read the model specific values and inject them into the flashed files. Someone who knows more should really consider that route.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] pikeylfc:
I do have properties like that . I just checked . Does it make a difference? It works with no issues
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] pbarrette:
Some of them have to do with how Google determines which phone model you have and can affect the Play Store.

The ".fingerprint" settings have been implicated in boot-loops by some people on some phones.

The "ro.semc" settings are used internally by Sony and may affect some Sony app functionality, but are more likely used for analytics reporting in phone apps and by Xperia Companion to determine which phone model and oem/carrier customization you have as well as to determine which OTA to check for.

If you don't see any issues, then that's good.

Personally, I'd prefer to have those values be correct for my model of phone.

There's a guy in this thread who flashed the G8142 "build.prop" to his G8141 and lost all connectivity, all because the mod creator used a complete G8142 build.prop when he only needed to add a single line.

Personally, I think a flashable zip should be a bit more mistake-proof. That's why I'm going to leave it up to someone with a better grasp on shell scripting and/or edify to create one for this.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] pikeylfc:
O right understandable . Ya luckily no issues. But a proper zip file would be good
