Thank you.

Can you guide me to root by UL and still retain the drmkey of sony?

I read about forum posts but I'm not very computer literate.

Thank you.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] N1ghtr08d:
What you want is impossible, pain and simple. The ONLY way to root the phone is to unlock the bootloader and by doing that you WILL lose the DRM keys. There is no way of backing them up, you just keep it stock or you root, you choose.

Even if you take a second to look at the forum you'll see that the bounty for a root method without unlocking bootloader it losing DRM keys has never been claimed since it can't be achieved.

but since XZ out the eye, that is not possible.

I ran into this exact problem recently on LOS 15.1.

Props to Asiier for this post which helped me develop a hybrid fix.

I narrowed my issue down to a mix between a bad/dated gps.conf file and Oreo Google Play Services.

If you have the same issue, now or in the future, here are a few things you can do, but you must be rooted.

Option A) There is a Magisk Module - Global Optimized GPS File Replacer - that will replace your gps.conf file with a more updated one. Make sure though that it places the file in both /system/etc and /system/vendor/etc. If it doesn't, copy it to the other directory. The latter is where it's stored in Oreo on OnePlus 5, but some apps may look for it in the former directory.

I didn't fully trust this process though the instructions in the module are very good. The code is here so you can create the file in Notepad or Wordpad yourself and save it with .conf extension.

Option B ) If you want to do so manually, make sure you place the file in both system locations, and set the permissions 644 or rw-rw-r---, otherwise it won't work. Obviously, make sure the old file is deleted and the new one is re-named to gps.conf. Then reboot. I tweaked the file and added several US-based NTP servers to the list, but otherwise left it as written.

After either option - download either or both of these Apps:

GPS Status and Toolbox

GPS Locker

Switch to Device Only in location settings and re-calibrate your compass. You can use the GPS Status app or another app of your choosing.

Open either app and download new AGPS data.

Toggle between High Accuracy and Device Only and that will help to get a good lock.

After that, GPS lock should be much quicker, or can be reset with a new AGPS download.

I found that Device-Only is a better setting for LOS/OP5.

Of course, make sure you're outdoors, otherwise this won't work well, or not at all.

NOTE: Flashing a new build or new ROM will overwrite the gps.conf file back to the bad version, so this process must be followed again each time.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] herishere:
Thank you very much for this guide!

Would this configuration work properly if google play services are not installed?
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] digger16309:
I don't know. I haven't tried that. All the apps I use GPS with require Google Play Services/Maps.

That said, I think Google Play Services is part of the problem overall. Once I get a lock, I make sure I'm on Device Only setting.

[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] digger16309:
I, too, started having issues when I moved from OOS to LOS on a clean flash, then dirty flashed a nightly. BUT.... after a factory reset, flash OOS, flash LOS - all clean, the issue remained. I really think that this started and traces to a Google Play Services update in early June that somehow creates a bug when dirty flashing.

I wish Google would get their act together because I think this is all Oreo-related, but presents itself most starkly on devices that have weak antennae (like OnePlus).

When deploying this fix, I've noticed that the AGPS data doesn't survive a reboot and needs to be refreshed. I still need 3rd party apps like GPS status, but once refreshed and locked, it stays solid all day (provided I'm outside). GPS

works

, but I still have to fuss with it, almost daily.

As I noted in my OP, - I'm not sure the Magisk module or the TWRP processes do this, but it's critical to set the replaced gps.conf file with -644 / -rw -r -r permissions, or it won't work.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blueblob:
I checked and no. All config files have 644 as a system file. You can change it but it doesn't matter (this file needs only to be read btw)

Other notice : before reading all your OP, I checked and I didn't find a gps.conf in my /system/etc (it was its place, but with new Android version et vendor space, I guess they moved it)

Are you sure is it necessary with Oreo ?

Envoyé de mon ONEPLUS A5000 en utilisant Tapatalk
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] digger16309:
Sorry, I had it correct in my OP and just edited my error in Post #10 - it's -644 -rw -r -r.

In LOS, the file is placed in /system/vendor/etc. I don't know if that is Oreo-only or not, but a previously used directory was /system/etc.

To be safe, I replaced it in both directories.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] shadowstep:
Oreo ROMs read the gps.conf file from the vendor partition (/system/vendor/etc or /vendor/etc, depending on Treble implementation). There is no need to replace/place it in the /system/etc partition.

[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] digger16309:
I'm seeing NO improvement establishing GPS lock on the 23 Jul LOS build with new gps.conf file. In fact, acquiring lock takes longer.

I still require the assistance of a 3rd party app. I can't get GPS lock WITHOUT activating a 3rd party app first. I can re-establish lock quickly for a few hours but as time goes on, it takes longer.

I can't establish lock in an already moving vehicle. I have to establish lock, stationary, in the open air.

The one difference between the 23 JUL file and the one I was using, is that it uses general ntp servers, rather than the ones for my region. Using regional servers wasn't perfect, but definitely better.

I have no proof but I still think the root of this problem is in Google Play Services.

Buffing up the gps.conf file "helps", but doesn't fix the problem on my OP5.

GPS is one of those functions that should just work on a modern smartphone. I have a Sony Xperia Z3. It is unrooted and stuck on MM. No problem with GPS.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blueblob:
No improvement between this mod and the commit, but it's a good point for everyone.

My point of view : if it works on OOS and not on other ROM... : Blobs and proprietary codes (drivers?)

I hope treble will fix this mess, just be patient.

During this time, like you said, I keep GPS Status to play Pokemon go and Google services do the job to have a position.

It sux, that's all :/

[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] digger16309:
I'm not convinced that it does work on OOS any better than custom ROMs. A review of the OnePlus(.com) forums reveals many complaints about GPS which each successive update. I grant that for unknown reasons, this problem does not affect all OP5s, no matter which ROM is loaded.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] gosz:

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] nick_sixx:
I'm using a OP5T with rooted OOS.

I'm encountering a problem where tapping URLs in certain apps (Boost for Reddit, FB Messenger, Tapatalk, etc) won't open my Chrome browser, but will take me back to my launcher with the "Google Play Store has stopped"

I have quadruple-checked that Chrome is set as the default link handler, have denied Play Store from opening any URLs that arent play.google.com, cleared cache/data, rebooted etc, but the error still persists.

I've found people having a similar issue, but in their instances it was them being taken to a Play Store listing for shady software instead of the correct URL (due to malware). In my case, it seems like the phone is trying to go to PS instead of Chrome, then crashing PS when it can't complete the request.

Any ideas?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Rascarcius:
Hi,

I own a Redmi Note 3 pro Snapdragon (KENZO) (2GB RAM version) from 2 years ago. At the start I didn't need to use any custom ROM because the phone was fast enough to play games and use every app without lag problems, but on the last 7/8 months, my phone started to feel laggy when I watch some videos on Chrome or Facebook, or when I open webpages with many ads (I use Adaway and Adfree already).

The thing is, lately not only feels laggy, but it closes the app when I demand more resources to my phone, which didn't happen months ago, and I need to try open it again and search the content praying for not beging closed again, it makes me really upset. Right now I'm using Liquid Remix ROM, but I have tried 3 or 4 more ROMs before this one, and I have never found one that fits the low resources my phone has.

I think the problem is the RAM, because with every app in background closed, I don't reach the 400MB free of RAM, so I can't even play games without lag.

I would appreciate if you expert guys tell me about a ROM which has this aspect very developed, I know that there are not better ROMs than another, every ROM has its huge work behind and I don't pretend to infravalorate the work of any of them, but I really need a ROM which consume low recurses for working on idle, so I can use my phone without having this special problem.

Could you please help me?

For all the Kenzo 2gb ram users please read this. Who want stable miui 10 i suggest you install Official miui 10 8.8.16 developers ROM it's the best Miui ROM I have ever used so far .it's smooth and it's ram management is also awesome and with all the normal apps installed such as Facebook whatsapp and all. I can easily switch between 5-6 apps which is awesome for a Miui ROM.

I too was so much frustrated from changing ROM coz all Custom roms didn't have the look and customisation such as in Miui, but due to my 2gb ram almost every miui ROM was unstable for me.

After installing the ROM everything is in stock moreover.i haven't even rooted my phone then also I got upto 5:30 hrs Screen on time with 20% left my usage was full time 4G .I feel so blessed I found this ROM now I can have the awesome look of Miui along with full stability and ram management, I'm a regular XDA visitor but I never comment or reply , but for all the 2gb kenzo users this might be very helpfull.Sorry for my English if I spelled something wrong.

In sort Features of this ROM which I liked very much are

1) Best ram management ever I got on a Miui ROM (especially for 2gb ram user)

2) Very good Battery life ( Easily can reach upto 6hrs Sot with 4g , it's more than enough for my 2yrs old Kenzo)

3) Almost full stable even though it's a Developer ROM ( I didn't faced any issue till now)

4) Liquid smooth UI , no lag ever

Hope it Helps Someone..

By the way I'm on stock kernel and unrooted right now

I'm posting this on every Thread cuz I want everyone to know about it and fix there ram management.

Then sometimes when i pres the power button, nothing appears in my screen, I press and press nothing happen. Then u can see the power indicator is still blinking.

1. I do believe that was caused by installed softwares,

2. try to remove all today plugins, wait 5 seconds, softreset, after 2 minutes (just to ensure

all processes are finished),

3. try to press the power button then again after 10 seconds, and see if that helps or not, alternatively,

4. try to remove the shortcuts fron the startup folder and try. If nothing helped, probably there is a confused registry. hard-reset for no choice(except you are expert in registry matters :D)

5. Remember to wait for 10 seconds before you reset the device after changes were made. :D:D
