[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] charlatan01:
Hello XZP land!

I've had mine for a while (since launch actually), and I really love the device. However, I've come upon a conundrum that I think needs some technical elbow grease (which I am not skilled to do).

I own some Hi Res audio, and my favorite player (Neutron), as well as some others, supports playback of it. The thing is, the XZP doesn't show as having the ability to, according to this Neutron thread on the matter Hi Res in Neutron. Our devices currently do not offer the Hi-Res options.

Qualcomm on their site for our chipset says;

Developed by an audio technology leader, Qualcomm Aqstic audio codec (WCD 9340/9341) supports high-resolution standards that recording studios use to master tracks, creating a pure audiophile listening experience. It has an integrated DAC (digital-to-analog converter) that supports native Direct-Stream Digital (DSD) and pulse-code modulation (PCM) Hi-Fi audio playback. DSD is a standard found on Super Audio Compact Discs (SACDs), and the Qualcomm Aqstic audio codec can decode DSD files natively. The DAC on the Qualcomm Aqstic codec has ultra-low Total Harmonic Distortion plus Noise (THD+N), which means no additional noise or signal is added for the most authentic sound reproduction. The Qualcomm Aqstic codec is also designed to give you the highest dynamic range available, so you can feel the dramatic change of volume and emotion in your favorite music.

SO I know the chipset can do it.

Now, Sony provided us with the "DSEE HX" quality audio setting... and it says "upgrade quality of compressed music files to 'NEAR' Hi Res'". Meh, okay, so you can muck around with compressed files and make em sound better. I don't believe that resolves my issue, and enables anything firmware wise.

I believe this means we need to enable the feature via firmware and bypass Sony's attempt at audio features in their DRM space. Has anyone been able to enable this in Neutron? How's your Hi-Res playback?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] RJASSI21:
Why not just use the stock Sony music player for hi res playback? Hi res audio files have been supported since the Z2 and onwards. You can just use the Sony music player for hi res and neutron for everything else. I think that its auto enabled by default within the Sony music player. When you see the "HR" logo on the album art I suppose that means its enabled.

If your trying to enable the same thing in neutron and it doesnt work because theres a toggle. Id blame the creators of the app or simply Google for the lack of support. It can be one of 2 things stopping it from working for you. The android os or the app itself. I dont use neutron personally and never have. Ive always used the Sony one after I gave up on poweramp. I wouldnt blame the device itself. Its just like my issue of vulkan support whereby apps cant see that the device does support it. In that case I would blame Google. This is as much help as I can offer.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Mobfigurz:
Hi-Res is enabled out of the box with the in-built Sony Music application and contrary to what RJASSI21 said, the HR logo does not appear on all Hi-Res audio tracks album art, only on 24bit Hi-Res tracks album art and I have been using Hi-Res audio on my Z5P and my XZP but I have only ever used the Walkman/Music app provided by Sony and it works.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] charlatan01:
Thanks to both of you for the info. I am going to see if I can get the Neutron dev to add the libraries or whatever's needed to get that app where I want it.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] skingg:
Much appreciated! I was looking for these Neutron settings on the XZP too since they were n my LG V10 (before it died on me last week). Neutron music player has been my go to player for several years now so here's hoping we get some positive updates soon.

Thank you!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] skingg:
There was an update to Neutron for Oreo support yesterday and now I can finally see the Hi-Res Codec and Hi-Res Speaker options. :)

Hi,

I'd like to do some long exposure photography with the Pixel 2 but not sure which app would be best.

Would anyone have recommendations on apps that they've had good experiences with?

Thanks in advance
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] k4r70ng:
Open camera works fine up to 4.1 seconds which i believe is the hardware limit. Be sure to enable camera 2 api.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] dark_knight_95:
Try one plus camera download it from apk mirror
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] nsmal24:
Proshot has been my favorite for awhile. Also has shutter priority capability (auto iso with fixed shutter speed) which others don't. Light painting mode is lots of fun too.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Gemini_05:

Thanks u so much for this port!

Found a bug - with enabled two-factor authentication, in the initial setup code from the message is recieved, but not shown anywhere, so u can't confirm your account.

- no flashight, works from apps in markets

- blackscreen confirmed

And acceleration works fine for me, at least in the gallery
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] xEmre66:
It's clean and quick. The bugs are only those you have listed. Amazing work
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] GuestK0017:
Thanks for reporting, that's exactly what I was expecting :)

I'll now use OmniRom (because they have a pretty stable 8.0 and TWRP 3.2 is included).

For flashlight, it's same effect as camera.

Black screen, I didn't took a look actually

I found a bug: After installing gapps (STOCK) the phone freezes every reboot and then repeats
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] tys0n:
Yes. Black screen is there, and if you wait for a while the phone will reboot itself. Sorry, can't log it right now.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Vittario Vicci:
And a little more:

Dual sim doesnt work

Wi-Fi direct doesnt work

And seems that is all

Fox crashes, but it doesnt matter, other browsers works fine ;)
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Vittario Vicci:
It happens after touch anywhere to focus. Then u can'tturn on flashlight or even start built in camera app.

Hope that my stupid issue's description without logs will help you :)

About Google Apps, OpenGapps just released 8.1, i still don't try, but it think it should work.

So you can try OpenGapps 8.1 in ARM on their website

I get a screenshot and sometimes there is a problem with the videos, the file you chose is not a photo but a message
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] hdnh2412:
May I ask if there will be a version for the A3 2015 any time soon? Love you work and very much appreciate it btw
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] McFy:
Useless to ask there, he never talked about making rom for your device...
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Just flashed this and it feels a bit snappier too. (Possibly because of the CONFIG_HZ change in the kernel?).

Great work! Well done for fixing the NFC.

With regards to the audio issues people are seeing, I did see an AudioServer crash in my LogCat the other day which could be related (I will send to l-0-w if I still have the file).

I haven't had any audio problems myself. I have the A310F and am using OpenGapps 8.1 with Magisk 16 stable if that helps narrowing the issue down.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] ttdom:
On last version Videocall with WhatsApp has no sound at all, although audio only calls work ok.

Facebook messenger does do Videocall with sound..
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] rammazzoti2000:
Mine too feels a bit snappier

I also use opengapps with latest stable magisk, all with a fresh install.

I have an audio problem with in/out calls where it is not possible to change the volume (always at maximum) whether in loudspeaker or not. This happens with charging sound also, the sound is always at the maximum.

Another bug I had was with the camera suddenly it crashes and I have to do a system reboot to solve it

Overall the ROM is great love it everything else works fine.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] mohand06:
[MENTION=8142261]l-0-w[/MENTION], latest build with re-enabled enforcing is really good: smooth, no nagging bug, good battery performance (which is the main feature of the stock firmware). If only we could get los root that would be wonderful (my opinion as I'm more comfortable with SuperSu). Thanks for your good work and your dedication to help us, owners of A3 2016 devices, share the feel of Oreo as it seems that we'll never get it officially from Samsung.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] :
Happy that this runs smoothly on your phone :)

I'm still stuck on some weird issue, some users have non working earpiece (I got it working).

The actual reproductible issue that I try to fix is the non working speaker after calling (it seems that V4A can fix that, weird).
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] mohand06:
The test and use of sound mods is the main reason I'm striving to switch to Oreo, especially the new Dolby Atmos for Oreo. Otherwise, I'm enjoying an excellent sound on stock nougat thanks to sauron and other dsps: Dolby, v4a, am3d, jdsp. I found that the sound is very good on your latest build but what's weird is that I can't get Dolby to run anymore though it worked on 20180228. Do you recommend dirty or clean flash of updates?

Edit: lack of los root doesn't allow for manual installation of mods (my additions just disappear after a reboot, a waste of time and effort)

Magisk 16 works perfectly aswell for root
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] sm_94:
some toughts

there are a few issues with kernel, it throws errors with backtraces to setstr for storage, probably fstab related. also 7% of battery lost for 12h w/o touching phone ain't really nice tho. I think ril is draining battery a bit when in deepsleep. Some minor touchups req. in frameworks overlays for sensitivity of autobrightness, it gives too much brightness for lets say smaller amount of light read from luxsensor. Wifi is maybe a 2nd reason why battery in deepsleep is getting down faster than usual, sum errors in logcats appear, but I'll try check em out laters. Interactive govenor gave us smoother xp but ill try to switch to caf-active to see if there are any differences. Overall its pretty good since its 1 day that am using it.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] mohand06:
Thanks guys, I know all that but I was just hoping that los devs will bring back the good systemless root with su binary.

I don't know if it's related to magisk, but for example, AudioFX can't be disabled nor uninstalled (even if Root Essentials says successfully uninstalled!)
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Vittario Vicci:
Oh, found one more bug: screen record doesnt work

Even from gp apps
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Stricted:

but here is the su addon for 15.1 https://mega.nz/#!hUZ30CaQ!DfCr4kIptD-9rds4a1gJNuVz6BGgxLC8y8hjzbR7ueA (compiled by me it works for sure)

Thanks [MENTION=8184192]Stricted[/MENTION]. Just what I planned to search for anyways.

Will test it on clean flash.

Now on Magisk I can't mount system rw, do you think it's a bug? And also apps like AudioFX can't be disabled?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] :
Already got reported of this error, i'm investigating

Working for me, so give me a logcat or it never happen :)

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] sm_94:
LOL, I was like:"I could have swear that there was notification lights when i got the phone" mby i just forgot if it had/n't in the first place xd. hmm battery life still good, 41% atm with 2h28m SoT, and its 2nd day w/o charge. Pretty impressive tho.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] mohand06:
[MENTION=8142261]l-0-w[/MENTION], forgot to mention it previously, but I downloaded twice lineage-15.1-20180302-UNOFFICIAL-a3xeltexx.zip to be sure and always have error 7 when clean flashed it in twrp 3.2.1 KMX. Had to restore first a backup from 28.02.2018 and do a dirty flashing.

After booting into system, wifi can't be enabled until a second dirty flashing in recovery, very strange bug.

Now I'm using addonsu-15.1 for root but still can't use SuperSU app.

Another bug, I think already reported, has to do with no audio (speaker or earphones) now and then after a phone call
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] sm_94:
Ill try to rebuild kernel with more debug flags to check whats going on with :

- After calling someone on Facebook Messenger phone reboots or you cant hear person you speaking with and he cant hear you

- Recording video on Snapchat doesnt work, after holding the button it tries to record but its taking a photo

- When changing camera mode to QR Scaner the Camera app is crashing

- Camera app keeps crashing when you want to change some parameters (brightness, contrast etc.)

Sorry for not posting some logs but I dont know how to and I dont have LOS 15.1 installed.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] sm_94:
I've successfully built kernel with some more debug flags, seems working fine, even nfc works now ... mby some randomness involved. No camera crashes here but it stutters for 0.5sec after changing some setting/filter etc... Ill try to see if i can get more out of it.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] mohand06:
OK, I rebooted in recovery after flashing twrp image 3.2.1 then flashed the lineage-15.1 zip followed by flashing of open_gapps-arm-8.1-pico-20180301. Now it's OK, the rom is booting
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] mohand06:
After booting in new system, the installation proposed restoration of apps and parameters from cloud backup what I did and now I have nearly the same Nova drawer as on stock nougat (except for underlying system) so, no change of scene. Wifi worked out of the box.

Went on with flashing suaddon 15.1, root ok. Made some voice calls, took some, listened to media streaming, no issue with sound. Camera steady. Battery performance nearly same as stock samsung as far as I can tell (battery saver doesn't offer ultra power saving)

All in all, amazingly good release.

Tested DolbyAtmos Axon7 Oreo, installed and working. Will now test some other mods: ainur, dirac, v4a.

Ah, [MENTION=8142261]l-0-w[/MENTION], just one thing: how to disable lockscreen audiofx display? Can't find it in settings
