Official build will be clean and away for junky stuff as usual, but i might release an Unofficial build with some extra stuff if i get time.

Lemme know if you want me to. :)

Looking forward to an update! Do you happen to know if ArrowOS 9 / Pie has better RAM management than 8.1?

Does anyone have an issue with the clock app being killed in the background? My alarm hasn't gone off since switching to this ROM (the first time the usual disclaimer about that applied to me :D ). I guess it could be the same thing killing music apps in the background. I've set them to unoptimized in battery settings, but that didn't change them being killed.

hey guys! LOS 15.1 is acting up with me (Youtube Vanced stopped working), and I'm about to move away from it, but I'm too busy atm to properly backup and prepare a move to another OS, would dirty-flashing Arrow 8.1 on top of it work?

Hi!

I recently purchased the Garmin Vivoactive 3 and connected it through my Huawei P20 with the Garmin Connect app. It works fine. But everytime i close the Connect app the phone lose connection with the watch.

Any ideas?
[Other SmartWatches] mpilihp:
So i have the same watch connected to a Samsung Galaxy S7 and it stays connected and i get notifications without opening the connect app so maybe its your phone??

id check for updates for both phone and watch.

phil
[Other SmartWatches] vikingalle:
I thought maybe the problem was Android 8 because i can connect the watch to my girlfriends Huawei P10 Lite running Android 7 and i can close the app and everything still works.

Both devices are updated to latest version. I wish there was a quick fix to this.
[Other SmartWatches] mpilihp:
So Garmin has a forum and they have been helpful for me in the past, I'd give that a try.

I love my Vivoactive 3, people say is sucks cause of the screen but u get 5 days on a charge which you can't do with an iwatch. it also does all the smart stuff i need and great activity tracking...
[Other SmartWatches] vikingalle:
I already made a post over there - still waiting for someone to reply. Also emailed Garmin and Huawei. Excited to see their solution!

Agreed, im in love with it too. Battery life is also fantastic so far. So if the problem lays within the P20 i rather buy a new phone than returning my watch. Thats how satisfied iam with it :)
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
Verify that Garmin connect is in the exclude list for battery optimisation on your phone battery setup.
[Other SmartWatches] vikingalle:
It is. But still wont work :(
[Other SmartWatches] Mondelman:
You have to downgrade Garmin Connect version to 4.1.5 or older. In Garmin forum you can find the link to this version. It worked for me.

How I can make lower speaker on phone call?

When I receive a phone call, the sound of caller people is veryyyyyyyy LOUD as much as my around people (with 6m distance) can hear sound of caller :'( also my ear pain :'(

My device is root,magisk,xposed

Thank you for your help.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nipun03:
Simply by pressing the volume down button during call will lower the volume of the ear piece. :)
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhamed:
thank you for your answer, but I've enough experience about "pressing the volume down button during call"

the sound is verrryyyy LOUD even the call volume is on minimum :'(

I guess, it's related a value in a .conf or .xml file in android system .

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] fl0wfr:
Hi,

I should receive my XZ1c this week. Before unlocking bootloader, flashing recovery and ROM, should I perform a system dump/backup? I heard that flashing may cause lost of DRM keys, so also other stuff may also be lost.

If I have to do a backup, which tool should I use? I also read that after flashing the camera takes green pictures, is that common to all non official ROMs?

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Didgesteve:
I wouldn't be in a rush to unlock your phone, it comes with all sorts of problems, but the biggest one being breaking the camera.

If you have a contract phone from a major provider there's a chance that you won't be able to unlock it, the unlock feature will be disabled. This is so they don't have to deal with any warranty claims of 'Waaaa, I unlocked my phone and now it's broken'

The battery life out the box is pretty amazing and customisation can be done without root, these were always the main things that drove me to root in the past, so it's not as necessary as it used to be. You can't do a backup of your DRM keys, when you unlock the phone they will be lost and are unrecoverable. With persistance you can mount a DRMfix, that fools the phone into thinking DRM is present and all the higher functions contiune to work as stock. But you can no longer easily update, you will have to reflash everything each time there is a system update. I have rooted my phone and everything works perfectly, but I sort of wish I hadn't now as the benifits are small and the hassle of keeping it up to date with firmware rollouts is huge, in fact I've given up.

If you are determined to go down that route I would recomend paying sToRm// $20 for his Xperiafix. It's the simplest way to do it and his version 3 has come along leaps and bounds from the early versions and as long as you get the right drivers (err, no easy task) and can follow instructions, you'll get there.

For backing up what's on your phone I'd recomend Xperia Transfer, does what is says on the tin.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] moofesr:
Unfortunately, there isn't a way to backup the DRM keys yet so should you unlock the bootloader, your DRM keys are completely and irreversibly gone forever.

As for the camera issue, when unlocked, you can either continue to use the Sony ROMs but with a DRM fix (e.g. using Storm's Xperifix tool) or you can use a custom ROM which has a DRM fix. Long story short: whatever ROM you use (official or unofficial), you'll need to make sure you have a DRM fix for it.

Edit: Nevermind, Didgesteve beat me to it!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] fl0wfr:
Thanks for your replies guys!

I bought the phone without contract so no SIMlock :)

If I flashing back stock ROM I wouldn't be able to get DRM keys back, right? The fact is I love RR-OS ROM, so easy to customize, and I'd like to easily restore my apps with Titanium Backup.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] 4rz0:
The only reason why I personally would root nowadays is Titanium Backup.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] moofesr:
Unfortunately, that's correct - going back to stock won't restore the DRM keys. Once they're gone, they're gone forever.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Didgesteve:
DRM keys gone forever, yup.

Titamium will work on magisk rooted phone, but you might struggle to get some of the apps working on a new OS.

You'll be in for less headaches if you can bite the bullet annd do a clean install.

But you're in good hands with russel5's RR build, he's really helpfull and takes part in the thread.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] fl0wfr:
If I root using Magisk, will I have to unlock bootloader?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] moofesr:
Yes - you'll have to unlock the bootloader because in order for Magisk to work because it modifies your phone's boot partition (and it can only really do that if you unlock your phone's bootloader).
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] fl0wfr:
Okay but I won't have to flash ROM or install another bootloader?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] moofesr:
You don't have to flash another ROM - in fact, you can stay on the stock Sony ROM if you prefer. But you'll want to flash something (DRM fix) because the moment you unlock your bootloader, your camera will stop working.

For what it's worth, you can't install another bootloader.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] fl0wfr:
Damn... The camera issue always happens when unlocking bootloader?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] moofesr:
I'm afraid so! Sony are simultaneously very open-source friendly and very dev-community hostile.

That's why the DRM keys are such a big deal for Sony devices and why everyone talks about DRM fixes :p

The camera on the XZ1C uses some proprietary elements and the moment you unlock your bootloader, the proprietary elements stop working and every photo you take will just be green.

In an ideal world, we would backup the DRM keys before unlocking the bootloader and then restore the DRM keys after unlocking the bootloader and the camera (and other DRM key dependent phone features) would be working as usual again. However, the 2017 line of devices has no working method of DRM backup-restore, hence the need for DRMfix to 'trick' the phone into thinking the DRM keys still exist.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] fl0wfr:
Well I guess I'll stick to the stock ROM. I'll try at least SMS/MMS restore using Titanium, I hope it won't need root...

Thanks for your replies, I really appreciate it!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Didgesteve:
Xperia transfer is an easy way to transfer texts, files and programs (and settings)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] fl0wfr:
Interesting, I'll give a try!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Doman:
Your post is from July 2018, while since May 2018 there is a topic regarding XZ1C DRM keys backup & restore here on XDA:

https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz1-compact/development/devonly-exploits-temp-root-to-backup-t3795510

Or do I miss something :) I haven't gone through all the 40+ pages of the topic above yet, but it looks like a proper backup&restore solution, not a drmfix only that fools the system.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Didgesteve:
The exploit thread has indeed been going since May, but when I wrote the post in July there was still no easily accessible way for the average user to attempt the exploit.

Have you tried to back up your DRM keys with the exploit? Good luck with that.

But with Pie we don't need any exploit, the camera is fixed without any DRM manipulation.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Doman:
Appreciate the explanation. I haven't done DRM backup yet. I just got my XZ1C this week, so now I gain the knowledge and prepare for modifications. I wonder if I need the DRM backup for the future though, as I plan to use Resurrection Remix or AEX, either dedicated or Treble version. But I think I will try to back it up anyway just in case.

And what do you mean about Pie in the last sentence? With Pie and bootloader unlock we still loose TA partition and DRM, but the camera still works fine? Or what happens?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Didgesteve:
With Pie the camera works with unlocked bootloader, no fix required. So you can unlock and root and don't need any 'fix'

Sony obviously don't want anyone making money out of DRM (Xperiafix)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] SXUsr:
But for how long, that is the question. My XZ1C is the best XPERIA I've ever owned, but the first I've ran unrooted and unlocked (thanks to Substratum). But as Substratum on Pie only works with root and no suitable replacement on the horizon from Sony, it may be time to take the plunge.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] c_tho:
fwiw i took the plunge about two weeks ago and the experience has been sublime. i've got my whole system themed black with swift installer and it is seamless. not having to plug in to re-theme updated apps is a joy.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] jazzdglass:
True bro! For me the only need for root is to be able to change fonts. Do you know any method that works to change default font? Without the need for root?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] SXUsr:
I just took the plunge. Backed up TA, Unlocked bootloader, upgraded to Pie, rooted it, found out Google has blocked Substratum so hated it, flashed back to Oreo, rooted it, installed Ubuntu font, uninstalled apps etc and loving it.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] littlemincer:
Hi volks and p20 pro experts,

i wonder if my 3xtelelens really works or not.

If I zoom 3x and block the 40mp lens with my fingers and let the tele lens free, I see nothing.

Also I see no noticeable better shots when shooting 5x zoom with blocking the telelens or blocking not.

Do anyone know if this is normal behavior, or is this a brocken telelens.

I am on CLT-L29 8.1.0.131(C432)

Thank you all
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Jonathan-H:
Depends on the conditions. Blocking lenses won't help because it will be using sensor data from all the lenses to get the best shot. You may just be blocking the lens that is showing you the preview on the phone screen.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] thanito:
Mine works and if I block the tele lens I see nothing, but bear in mind that you have to focus at something far for it to work or else it uses the digital zoom with main sensor. You can note that the tele works but seeing the ois starting to work in your display. I usually takes one two seconds to switch lens
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
You can check the EXIF data from your shots to see which lens was actually used (the small i-Button in the top left, when you're viewing a picture in the gallery). If it states f1.8, it was the "normal" lens, if you see f2.4, it's the tele lens. Note that closeups will always be taken with the normal lens. If you want to shoot a close up with the tele lens, you need to be farther away, like at least one meter.
[Galaxy S6 Active] bizoot:
Hi guys I reaaly need your help!!

1. so basically what happened is my screen is dead but phone is not! i managed to connect the phone to my work pc via usb cable and copied all the data i needed.

2. then somehow the pc hard drive died and i installed a new SSD one but unfortunately i accidentaly deleted a cruical partition on the faulty hdd so all the copied S6 contecnt is now gone.

3. dont ask me how but now, on my new freshly installed OS on my new ssd, i connect the phone again and try to access its folder but nothing is there!

** could i have somehow deleted a samsung partition as well through the windows 10 installation process? (seems unlikely i think).

** could the phone be displaying a question about how i would like to use the usb cable (charging only or data transfer)? if so why would this suddenly happen?

** I tried connecting to another pc but same issuer persists. the driver installs but cannot see files.

** could it possibly work on my home pc because it was previously connected there?

** the icon on the pc is that of a media transfer like an mp3 player. when i access it there are no files but when i right click i dont have an option to add folders so i'm guessing this maybe a permissions issue?

how can I access the files on the phone?! THANKS!!!
[Galaxy S6 Active] bizoot:
just to update i got it all sorted out trying to press randomly on the phone apparently i managed to access the files so what i can understand is that the phone keeps a list of all the pc's its ever been connected to and a setting of which connection type to allow this pc.

As soon as i formatted the pc, the phone recognized it as new and probably asked my if i want charging or data transfer. somehow i managed to chose data transfer!

Thanks a lot anyways and have a great day :)
