thanks for your prompt reply; unfortunately oem unlock is disactivated and grayed out (usb debug is activated)
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] G.Man.:
Repeat the oem unlocking with the huaweicode.
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] the gladiator:
first of all thanks for the support!

I can repeat the bootloader unlocking with the huawei code but my problem is only the FRP lock: phone is correctly unlocked. Do you confirm I should do what you're suggesting ?
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] G.Man.:
Make a google account synchronization, delete the google account from the device. Note the account access data. Make a factoryreset and see if you can move oem to the right.
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] the gladiator:
Done...without any result: oem unlock still disactivated and grayed out :crying:

Then all that remains is system recovery via HiSuite or eRecovery.

I'm setting up this (nice) ROM; so far everything is working pretty good.

I have only one issue: I associated to a key in the navigation button the action "Quick menu" and a nice pop-up shows when I press the key. My question is: where do I associate the items to be part of the "Quick menu" ?

Hi

As a Hermes and Elf user, I haven't had a chance to mess around with a Nike, but on behalf of a frustrated friend who has an Orange UK branded Dual .....

1) There's a setting to answer a call when Opening the phone, but doesn't seem to be one to hang up the call when answering - surely there must be a way to do this?

2) Is there a setting to turn off the touch screen when on a call - She's found that when having the phone against her ear, her earings will something press the touchscreen and end up in weird places.

Thanks

Hey,

how to get rid off encryption of the storage but in WORKING way? A lot of people say to format data but that is bull****. Whenever I install Superman rom I get encryption back after reboot. There is no way to prevent that?

PS: Unlock in PIE and camera won't break. (Since XZ2)

So always upgrade to the newest stock firmware before unlocking!

The touchscreen may not work.

So I need your help.

Please provide me the required numbers mentioned in my touchscreen problem FAQ. :)

Please be aware, there is no DRMfix for PIE.

Your camera preview will get black until the december update.

Since the december update, you will get green pictures.

Of course, you can unlock the device with the december firmware, downgrade to the november firmware (if bootloop, you need to wipe your userdata -> encryption downgrade protection) and use the opencamera app.

It is an open source camera app, which won't get a black preview.

Sounds like you sadly unlocked it before.

Did the camerafix bundled in my TWRP work?

(And the vbmeta parameter thing is mandatory)

But if you accidentally flashed the camerafix, you need to reflash the vendor.sin again

And your firmware is very old.

Maybe that fixes your camera too.

As far as I know, you need to boot magisk once into the normal system, until you can flash magisk modules in twrp.

But maybe you need to install the manager first.

I do only reinstall the system once in a month for the new stock firmware.

Do you have updated Recovery for new Andoid 10 ?

I just updated a few minutes ago to Android 10 on my Xperia XZ3 with verison number : 52.1.A.0.532

And I am planning to unlock a bootloader. That stupid Swiftkey was the last straw for this stupid bloatware pre-insalled in it.

Simply I can not turn off that stupid word predictions and sometimes I think even when the autocorrect is off the swiftkey is still correcting some of my words I type in SMS.

Was tying to somehow live for those 3 months that I have this phone with the stock firmware but I have enough. Thinking either to sell this phone and return to my beloved SAmsung S5 mini with nice Slimkite ROM installed or trying the unlocked bootloader way to give this phone one more chance.

So planning to install recovery so I can install MAGISK's root app to uninstall taht stupid bloatware and the rest of it from this phone to have it clean and mainly to have it work as I want and not as some apps developers want, for example like that Swiftkey app...
[Sony Xperia XZ3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
TWRP 10.0 is in the works.

At the moment it seems that the 9.0 TWRP needs special treatment to work in LineageOS 17.1.

Which is also work in progress here.

You can root your phone without magisk and install another keyboard app

Then you can deactivate the Swiftkey app (I don't like either)
[Sony Xperia XZ3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mirhl:
Ehrm.. I don't want to be that guy, but removing swiftkey is just a simple adb command away for the records. You don't need root/unlock.

And it's not even like it was probably the usual shoehorning of crapware. It simply happens that's the system keyboard, and it would be bad if the dumbest of people found himself disabling it.
[Sony Xperia XZ3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] avaie:
To be clear: What are the compromise draw-backs to bootloader-unlock and rooting (at least for the 8416 version)? So far, what has been gathered is loss in screen-quality, Netflix, possible and picture degradation (it's bad enough). It will be appreciated if further information is to be understood. If there is an all-in-one link, I will appreciate it.
