[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] hidden_drageon:
I need some help.

I got a Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium, it is a Chinese version and doesn't come with Google Play (Play Services, Play Store, etc). I've been trying to install the required packages and been having some issues.

First, I've heard I need the following packages:

Google Account Manager,

Google Services Framework,

Google Play Services,

Google Play Store

this list was originally posted for a different android device, so I'm not sure if it is the same requirements or if there are additional.

I've installed various packages and versions but I get errors.

1) Can someone who owns a Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium (or has access) with Google Play to provide required packaged names and versions that are compatible?

2) Does anyone know if those packages are the right requirements? Is there others that I don't know about?

3) Does anyone know if Sony (or in general, other manufacturers) have something that prevents Google services from running properly? Like, maybe because it was released in China (and Google services are not allowed), is the phone has something installed that stops it? (Does this kind of thing happen?)

If something like that happens, I'm guessing root or something like flashing the ROM to a different/international version..? something like that? I'm not familiar.. can someone provide some info please?

Additional information for what I've installed.

Android version

Baseband version

Build number

51.1.A.12.48

I installed Droid android info app, The cpu architect is arm64-v8a. I downloaded the above Google Services from apkmirror and installed them.

I tried the following versions:

(**note: below version, I went to Bell store and looked at their XZ2 models, and grabbed the versions they were using. They didn't have a XZ2 Premium model so I'm not sure if there's a difference or not)

-Google Account Manager 7.1.2 (the XZ2 model didn't have this installed)

-Google Services Framework v8.0.0-4147944

-Google Play Services v14.3.66 (040408-213742215)

-Google Play Store v12.3.19-all[0][PR]218276083 and v12.3.30-all[0][PR]219141239

Usually I install Google Account Manager first, then Google Services Framework, once I install Google Play Services, I get an error that constantly pops up "Google Services Framework has stopped" and keeps stopping.

I don't know if there is something else that's preventing them from working properly (like manufacturer thing?), do I have the wrong version, or maybe I need some other additional services to work properly???
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] Combonary:
How did you end up with the Chinese version. You can try flashing the firmware to a different region that has the Google play store. I have the Hong Kong version and I flashed the US version
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] Geoffxx:
I have HK 8166 and don't have this issue, flash it with a different FW
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] hidden_drageon:
Thanks for the replies.

I bought it from official sony site in China. I use the phone in both China and Canada, but everything in Canada depends on Google Services..

Anyways, I haven't found proof or documentation, but I am pretty sure Sony has added something that prevents Google Services to run on the CN version of their ROMs. But I got this conclusion based on testing (installing different apk versions, etc..)

If anyone has official info or way to confirm, it would be great to know (and reference on how to find out in the future).

So I think the only ways are either rooting or flashing to HK or US firmware as mentioned above.

When you flash the firmware, do you need to unlock the bootloader?

I understand that in most cases, you need to unlock bootloader to install ROMs not signed by company (Sony), like custom ROMs..

But in this case, you are flashing ROMs provided/signed by Sony (HK, US, CN, etc ROMs for the H8166 model), so is unlocking bootloader needed?

Also just wondering, does Sony officially provide the firmware ROM images? (maybe for backup/restore or something)?

I only know Developer Sony (developer.sony.com) provides AOSP images but I didn't see anything else from them.

I am currently using a workaround, which I don't need to root or flash FW. It is using Google Space (They renamed to X Space recently), which is an app that is like a Virtual VM + VPN. Google Services is installed in that environment, and apps are downloaded/installed in that environment too, which allows to run with Google Services. It's not bad so far.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] herasymcuk:
Just flash, as i did, the uk fw (for example) with flashtool. Pick the version you can find in my discussion link in the previous page. You don't need to unlock bootlader to flash another region fw.

[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] Tiagohsoares:
Hey.

Does game mode really improve the performance of my phone?

So you use it??
[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] 1987yeah:
If you mean the game mode of the game suite, I have not noticed any particular improvement, perhaps it depends on the games. But I've just discovered an interesting trick to greatly increase the framerate and graphics settings, just go into the phone settings, display, screen resolution and set up 1280x720 then in HD, I tested Shadowgun Legends and is playable even ultra graphics and it is really very fluid! The phone heats up even less, and the framerate increases a lot. Obviously the screen will be slightly blurred but that does not compromise the playability. I've also tested Injustice 2 and it's much smoother and smoother than Full HD. So lowering the resolution to 720p you have a real performance boost! A bit like what happens in PC games. I hope it will come in handy to some of you, and let me know! :)

sometimes (repetition after 1-2 days use normally) the signal lost both sim, and it take 10-15 minute to return normal,

and i can't flash the stock rom for my xperia x f5122 since i flash this rom, my flashtool has error "The bundle does not match the connected device"

I think it like a error simlock.ta, and after that i don't have any choice but flash this custom rom again, although i need continuous bluetooth to use my mi band 3, so i can't use mi band 3 with this rom. And i just exchange this phone with xiaomi mi 5s this afternoon, and yeah, sorry about that but this is my last valuable exchange on this rom.
