Not sure what network you're on, but this thread on Crackberry talks about a way to activate LTE and advanced calling on Verizon. The solution is to have the SIM card activated in a Verizon (not just "Verizon-compatible") phone, then transfer it to the Blackberry. I'm not sure if the same process works for other networks.

This Magisk Module is for the A2017U only. I've tested this on Magisk v13.5, 13.6, and 14.0 without issue, including no SafetyNet problems. Magisk v15 requires the files in post #8 (these files are for B32/B35 users only!!!)

It does the following:

Remove carrier label

Remove NFC icon

Remove roaming icon

Remove disable SIM icon, for dual SIM users

Change "4G" for HSPA+ connections to read "3G"

I've also redesigned the network type icon slightly to make it a bit better (hopefully?).

There are two options...the first is kind of a normal-looking version and the second has Verizon-themed LTE and EvDO icons. (see screenshots below for what these look like respectively)

Use at your own risk! Flash by adding the zip(s) to your Magisk modules section. All these do is make super small changes to the SystemUI_ZTE file so SafetyNet is still a go.

Option 1 (normal theme - B25 only): https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-9yGc1czLlqZ1ZiZTlmUGRYX0U

Option 2 (Verizon-themed icons - B25 only): https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-9yGc1czLlqWEVIRllPUURrV3c

For B32/B35 users on a Magisk version prior to v15, see post #3 below.

B32 Modules

Hi...here are links to the B32 modules (only work for Magisk versions prior to v15. See post #8 for Magisk v15 and higher!!!)

Option 1: Normal icons

Option 2: Verizon-themed icons

If the links above give you any trouble, try opening them in an incognito tab and then downloading manually...Google Drive is finicky with ZIP files as it wants to "view" them I believe.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Cyrus D.:
I tried the default icon pack, works, but the 3G image for HSPA+ was too small for my taste so I tried the Verizon version and... it looks exactly the same?

I don't suppose you could make an option that says exactly what it is such as HSPA+?
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flyer_andy:
Hi! Let me know what you think of this one...it's the Verizon-themed icons but with 3G/HSPA showing for GSM 3G...

Version 2.0 (VZW)
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Cyrus D.:
You forgot the +, LOL.

It looks well done. Thanks. If I had a suggestion, it would be just to write HSPA/HSPA+/whatever it is, and forget about trying to squeeze it in under 3G.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flyer_andy:
Unfortunately ZTE calls UMTS, HSPA, and all the variants of HSPA the same thing ('4G' in the stock icons)...so I can only do one icon for these network types. I don't know how to hack the deeper stuff to have it differentiate, unfortunately...so we're stuck with only one icon for all of it and HSPA is the most accurate option, given the technologies currently in use IMO...

If I get better at the programming side maybe one of these days I'll try and make this mod better... but for now unfortunately I'm not sure how to make the icon change for the different 3G technologies...I could just do "H" but I've always not liked that to be honest!

Magisk v15 files (B32/B35 ONLY!!!)

So, looks like Magisk 15 has a different template for the modules. As a result, I've created new files for any v15 or higher users. Modules will fail to install if you use the older files with Magisk v15. These were originally developed for B32 but it appears they work fine on B35 as well as ZTE seems not to have made any changes to the SystemUI. But let me know of any issues with B35!!! :)

Here are the new files...Neither of these have the carrier label showing in the status bar as I assume most people don't want that...let me know if anyone wants that showing and I'll create two additional files with that option.

Verizon theme:

I don't have an U (G here), but now that this "System UI tuner" app is on the Play store, I think you can achieve similar results. I have been looking for a way to get rid of unnecessary icons to just have the battety percentage, wifi signal and cell signal, and it works

Just a heads-up
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flyer_andy:
Thanks...I just checked it out. It looks like the only icon that the app can remove is NFC...I don't see any option to remove the carrier label, disabled SIM icon, or roaming icon.

Let me know if I've missed anything though...

Also, one of the main points of this module is to retheme the signal icons a bit...I've always thought the stock ZTE ones are kind of lame, to be honest...so I wanted to make something a bit nicer.

I'll keep the maintenance up of this for now, though I'm not sure if anyone uses it! But thanks for mentioning that app as I'm sure there may be some visitors to this thread that would prefer that option to a Magisk module.

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] chongo_au:
I've previously used a Redmi Note 4X and a currently use a ZUK Edge, and no matter how hard I tried to get used to MIUI/ZUI, I eventually got sick of the missing functionality and quirks of the stock roms on these phones.

I was amazed how much better my experience was after I switched to AOSPExtended on the RN4X and Mokee on the Edge. Looking at the threads there are plenty of AOSP/Lineage based roms for the Mix, but not many detailed bug lists. I'm very tempted to pick one up now that the price has gone down, and I want something with better battery life than the 3100mAh Edge.

Can anyone recommend the current most stable and functional rom for the Mix? What are some pros and cons of the different roms like crDroid, AOSPExtended, Lineage, etc?

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] gavin19:
Out of the box, MIUI (or MIUI-based ROMs like EPIC) will have better battery life judging by comments made in RR/LOS etc threads. I don't pay attention to battery life because I'm never far from a charger and I don't do anything that heavily drains it, like gaming. The ZUK Edge has the same SoC as the Mix but it has a 4400mAh battery so I would assume that battery life will naturally be longer, even with the slightly larger screen. Other users that pay more attention to battery life like albertoduqe will be able to give you more insight.

As for bugs, I have never experienced anything major. I've only tried RR, LOS, Viper and AOSP Extended but the only annoying one I encountered was losing the proximity sensor (reboot to fix). Some other complaints are speakerphone echo, slow to wake from fingerprint scanner (mostly gone now IIRC), loss of sound when switching back from bluetooth headset and upside down front-facing camera (fix).

Since they all pretty much seem to use the same base, you'll see the same issues posted on many of the threads for those ROMs. In that same vein, much of the same functionality can be found on them all too. You will find some stuff missing on some, but it'll often be minor. Like on Viper you don't have full control over the nav bar. Yes, you can add extra buttons but they can only do a small number of things, but on RR you can configure them to do virtually anything (and on long/double tap too). The only way you'll find out all their functionality is to flash them, or at least ask in their respective threads. If I leave MIUI (43rd time) then I will go back to RR as the dev is the most responsive and any issues get addressed very quickly.

The pros for MIUI are better battery life (but by how much really?), better camera quality (I've seen this claimed a few times but never saw an explanation as to why) and smoother general experience (I can confirm that MIUI/EPIC are indeed less prone to stuttering etc, even after tweaking, especially with MIUI 9).
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] chongo_au:
Thanks for that, appreciate the detailed response. I might try MIUI first and see how I go. Normally I get offended by the horrific weather thing at the top of the notification shade, but the Eureka 8 Pro theme makes it look acceptable.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] james1089:
All the one's I tried were very similar, viper os

Just edged it, slightly quicker fingerprint unlock and better proximity sensor. Don't rule out miui 9 it is very good.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] VerucaSalt:
I would say that the unofficial AOKP ROM was probably the smoothest and had the best battery life. Trouble is it doesn't seem to be maintained and no NFC is implemented.

RR is great, feature packed but I have always had some small bug that prevented me from having it as a daily driver. For example, last build would not allow me to change from charging to transfer files. The one benefit of RR is the maintainer is very active and responds.

For me, the official LOS has been the most stable, albeit a little boring.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] chongo_au:
Sounds fine by me, on Lineage I'm not really interested in customization and bells and whistles, beyond the notification quick toggles
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] VerucaSalt:
I think you will be very happy with LOS then.

I have tried all the others and always return to it. It just works.

Edit: I DID IT! DRM is fixed...

Here we go: https://xdaforums.com/xz-premium/development/hack-mod-sony-xperia-xz-premium-twrp-t3695171

Hello forum community,

Hello developer,

Maybe you've read the last few weeks already that I am currently looking for a solution for the limitations after an unlocked bootloader. Previous solutions (DRM recovery by Tobias Waldvogel and others) unfortunately do not work, since various libraries and other system data have changed. Also in the TrustZone there are various changes, which lead to the fact that previous solutions no longer work.

For some time, I'm busy with the Sony system protection. Although I am very experienced in the field of reverse engineering, but unfortunately I have little experience with the procedure with Android systems, especially with Sony.

I would like to take the opportunity in this thread to exchange ideas with other users about the possible solutions. In order to better understand the connections and thus possibly find a gap in the system, it would be good if we share our knowledge about Sony DRM. What files might be patched, what dependencies exist, ...

It would be great if we could work together and maybe get a DRM fix for the XZ Premium.

Cheers!

To the moderators: I hope the thread is okay. If not, please just lightly hit the back of the head. Thank you! :cowboy:
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] cdnutter:
Thanks for creating a thread for this. I have an interesting question. You may have looked a while back at the one thread with a working Google Camera build. Is there any idea as to why it worked? Maybe instead of fixing DRM, we can work around it.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] sToRm//:
Yepp, it's my own thread. ;) The working Google camera is just a compensation for unlocked/rooted users. Because after you unlock/root your XZP, the camera doesn't work (green pictures). It's not working with full supported "specials" from Sony. The resolution of the images is smaller, too. The 3rd-party camera apps are using their own image processing and/or the API to the system camera. So with Google camera or other Apps, we can take pictures, but in relatively bad quality because the resolution for 3rd-party apps is locked by Sony. Other apps are using the system camera with a "light mode" of it. So they take pictures without special effects, but with the stock camera, so you have a green pic after your shot.

So... The big problem is: Without hacking/patching/fixing the Sony device security (DRM/TrustZone) we can not use the full features of the camera. I don't understand why Sony is so bad to their customers, because their "special camera algos" are absolutely not interesting to me. But it's really bad to lock down the whole camera (green pictures). If they would only lock their own algos, it would be absolutely okay (because otherwise other vendors could copie them). But Sony... No... That's not the way to hold customers at a company. If I unlock/root my phone, I want to use the hardware like i want to. And if I install my own camera app with own functions, I don't need the Sony algos. The pictures would be nice, too. I think that's the reason why Sony did that on XZP...

My idea a few days ago was that we could try to port other camera to the stock XZP firmware. Something like Snapdragon Camera (used in AndroPlus AICP for XZP). But my knowledge about that is to bad. I did a few things to test something like that, but everything I tried crashed. I think we would need to patch the driver, libraries, cameraserver and other binary to get a full unlocked camera, that works without Sony. I am a freak on Windows systems, web applications and PC software. But on Android I must pass if it goes to "hacks" like these... sorry.

But... okay... let's find a way to "crack" that security (that's my passion on win/web)... anyway. :cool:
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] sToRm//:
What I have been asking myself for some time is why Sony should make so many changes to the system on a single device. Other devices that have also been introduced to the market in this vehicle can be patched with the Tobias solution. If, therefore, Sony had made fundamental changes to the security of the devices, then theoretically all new devices would be affected.

I have compared the XZ Premium with the XZ and the XZs. I had to realize that different libraries and applications have changed. And that's the reason why the DRM fix doesn't work in it's form.

The binary file:

/system/bin/secd

The libraries in /system/lib/ :

- libcredential-manager-service.so

- libdevice_security.so

- libsuntory.so

The libraries in /system/lib64/ :

- libcredential-manager-service.so

- libdevice_security.so

- libsuntory.so

These are high relevant files for the device security in relation to Sony DRM. The "secd" uses "libsuntory" and checks if the keys are stored, active and legit.

The main differences I found, were...

- The secd was merged with other binaries. The old size was ~150 KB and in XZ Premium it's ~1130 KB. I think they merged other functions from old libraries to the file, because they did that to other files, too.

- The old secd uses libtee.so and the new one uses libQSEEComAPI.so. And that's the big problem I think.

I will try to patch the relevant files and test if it works. With modified libsuntory I was able zu manipulate the blob status from "generic error" to "blobs not found". So maybe there is a way to fix this.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] sToRm//:
Hahaha...

Nice job Sony! I patched the whole libsuntory.so to get "all fine here" everywhere (~300 patches in ONE f*** library!). On the half way it's working and I was really happy to be on the right way - I can manipulate the status of CKB. Buuuuuuuuuuut....

If I am right in my thinking, then Sony uses backup tests and checks if there is some "huj huj huj" (you would laugh... that's really literally there in the functions) ongoing on the phone. So there (maybe) are backup tests in the TrustZone and in other system files, too. And the annoying part is, that if the system recognizes manipulations in relation to the security, some things will be dropped in hidden zones. After that the HUK is f*** up and the camera shows the typical "camera is used by another application" error. Funny is: Also the Google camera doesn't work anymore (green pics... hahaha). The only way to fix it, is flashing the system partition. Simply restore the original files doesn't work.

But... okay... That would have been tooooo easy. So let's check some other files, too. It's almost weekend and I think there will be a bit more time for some crazy things like this. ;)

You might want to check the actual more recent one tbh.

You still need a root exploit for TA backup in the first place (and the lesser kernel being 4.4.21, it's not exactly a cakewalk), but still
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] sToRm//:
My goal is to find a solution for already unlocked/rooted users (like me). A backup of the TA is useless, if the BL was unlocked before. So we have to find a way to simulate the key(s) or to crack the device security and gain uncontrolled access to functions in the TZ. Would be really nice if we could find a way to get temp root on unlocked devices, to dump the TA and get the original keys to mount them later. But there are a lot of users that have already unlocked. :)

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] FartyParty:
He said, if the bootloader has been unlocked already there's no point in backing up TA as the keys are already gone.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] sToRm//:
Yeeeeepp... :) So, why should I backup the TA and mount it if the key is already gone? If the key would be stored on a place somewhere and unlocking the bootloader would only effect that this place is inaccessable, then a relock, export and mount of the TA would be interesting for already rooted users. But if there is no key in the backed TA, mount it is useless. That's what I mean. :) I want to find a way to get the device thinking there is a valid key in the TA. Maybe it's possible with patching some system files.

@all

Is there somebody with a locked XZ Premium?

I would need a /system/build.prop file from an untouched phone. with working keys.

A friend wants to buy the XZP, too. Maybe I can get her phone to do some research on a unlocked system. I only have to persuade her :laugh:
