It's a bit of a hit or a miss, in the rom setting go to the lock screen settings and set what you want there, scroll to the bottom to the ambient setting , it take you to some more settings, then go to display settings , lock screen and there are a few more there... It will take a bit tinkering but it does semi work on our device..
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] kekspups:
Is this install instruction still uptodate? Is "rooted kernel hiding bootloader unlock with working fota" or "temp root exploit to backup drm keys implemented" not needed?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] niaboc79:
You need to backup and restore drm.

FOTA won't work on custom rom.

I used v9 and v10 for an equal period of time with the same apps , found more battery drain in v10, i think I'm not wrong
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] lilbrat:
Hmm, have you used your phone in the exact same manner, same texting, gaming, apps installed ect.. you stated the equal period of time but not the same useage pattern.. mileage is going to vary between folks as we all have different apps and use our devices differently..

And I'm not trying to be a pain here but give your rom a chance to settle in after you flash it, as I just read read through lineage post and you posted over there about 23 and 4 hrs hours ago (as of this writing) so that's a lot of flashing ..
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] hsheemi:
I used each rom for three days, once i flash v10 battery drains so fast , returning to v9 this stopped
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] lilbrat:
Ok, as you appear to have this issue since the 31st of Oct. have you checked your apps to see if one of them are causing the drain as it appears your the only one with this issue..

[MENTION=7346878]nacho91[/MENTION] in post #406 reported the same issue
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] lilbrat:
Ok.. I stand corrected, there 2 of you and I would suggest the same to him.. as the rom may affect phones and users differently .. look on the opening post somewhere in there, there is a telegram link and post your question there.. as the op doesn't pop in here very much.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] kekspups:
I have followed everything in the instructions but the rom doesent start for me. It just endlessly loops without the existenz logo at the beginning.

Everything works fine till I wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik/ART Cache and install existenz. Before that, the system starts without issues on the latest firmware i flashed with newflasher.

Im using the latest existenz version, Magisk v20.1 and the twrp 3.3.1-0 poplar. Any idea what causes this issue? Hope i gave enough information.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] lilbrat:
After you flashed the rom, did you re-install magisk?

Flash new firmware, flash twrp, start new firmware up one time, turn off phone fire up twrp do the wipes, flash rom , flash magisk reboot system, it will a bit to fire up..
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] kekspups:
Exactly, thats what I did and it would just loop and loop. Waited around 2-3 min everytime I tried it and I have tried it yet maybe 5 or 6 times.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] kekspups:
I found the solution for my issue! Seems like installing the Twrp app caused it not to boot. As soon as I clicked on dont install before rebooting it booted perfectly! Hope it helps someone in the future.

I lost my DRM keys. Thanks to new windows Update... What can i do to fix it. Cannot pay to XperiFix, too expensive for Turkish Lira. What would be if i flash another phones(XZ1 G8341) DRM keys?

Please help!
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] lilbrat:
Hmm, first off a Windows update isn't going to cause your phone to lose its drm keys, that is done by you unlocking your bootloader...

Now did you backup copy of your drm keys? If so did you reinstall them back on your phone?

And do not flash someone/another phones drm keys as you will end up with a nice paper weight..
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ΒΕΓΑ:
My SSD deleted while update, so think again. Yes, my bl is unlocked. Whats wrong with flashing others drm?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] lilbrat:
I think you get me my point , you failed to back up your stuff prior to doing your update.. enough said.

Drm keys are different for each device so it won't work.

Now as you had a backup did you reinstall them after you unlocked your bl.. if so go through the steps and make you another copy.... If you didn't then your out of luck .. your camera will function but you'll lose the video and sound enchantment stuff..
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ΒΕΓΑ:
I know what i lost. But i dont believe it impossible. I wasnt restore my keys again after unlock. Who knows how to edit or manipulate theese drm keys. Maybe someone can customize that. Its legal (im talking for Turkey).
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] lilbrat:
It's not illegal for drm keys it just doesn't work and the last DRM fix was back in the Oreo days.. and you really don't need them, granted it does remove some of the video and sound stuff but the sound can be fixed by installing Dolby and or Viper4Android and the camera works fine.. but good luck..
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Amine Z1:
Hi guys... Im now in lineageos

I want to test exsitenz

So Camera and X-Reality Engine works or not ??

Also how is the rom especially in gaming

[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] hsheemi:
Just flash SafetyPatch module in magisk and it's done
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] lilbrat:
It shouldn't fail, with this rom ”patch" as it is based off/on stock Sony... A cts profile false is usually found is asop roms..

Are you currently using this time?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] kwlkwl:
Of cause, I'm using v9 . My phone is using different oem with the firmware.

I will try. Thank you. Is it also get success with banking finger print security function?

Dear [MENTION=4133204]lilbrat[/MENTION] isn't there any way to make screen mirroring work again like before unlock ?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] lilbrat:
That is one thing I don't know anything about as I have never even tried it... sorry
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] kojak1989:
I think it's related to drm functionality, so if you have your ta partition backed up then just restore it.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] lilbrat:
Ok interesting, as I am not home so I have nothing to try it out on at the moment, but I have my ta backed up and installed but I do have a cast option..
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] hsheemi:
I think we restored ta after the root process, anyway should i restore it via twrp or fastboot? I have two files ta-locked.img , ta-unlocked.img
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] lilbrat:
Ta locked, and you can flash with adb, not sure about trwp but it should work, with it's file manager.. or even with something root explorer..
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] hsheemi:
Which partition should i flash it to: boot, vendor, system, or oem ?

Does screen mirroring work for you?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Razor10707:
Sooo... Sony just ended support for the XZ1 series, and I think it's about time to install a custom ROM, however, while I do have experience in modding I don't have experience in modding Xperia devices, so if anyone could clarify these few questions of mine without taking my head off I'd greatly appreciate it.:

1 - What do I exactly lose with unlocking my bootloader? I know certain loss with X-reality engine and night photography as stated in my next question but I'm not 100% sure about all of it's effects.

2 - Does this ROM include patches for the DRM? so will DRM locked things like X-reality engine and night photography work properly? or does the kernel in the add-on have this? perhaps another kernel by someone has this patch? if so could you kindly show the way to that kernel?

3 - Is this ROM "patch" stable for daily use? I mean I suppose it is but if you could give a short opinion on how it behaves day-to-day I'd appreciate that.

4 - If I do a complete backup of my TA partition with the temp root method, and later on restore that, 1 - will it lock my bootloader and 2 - will it restore the keys as well along with complete DRM functionality?

I think that's all for now, I'm sorry if I sound like a complete noob but in all honesty, I kinda am a noob in modding Xperia phones so yeah, thanks for putting up with me I suppose.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] lilbrat:
Ok let's take theses as asked...

1) has been pretty much covered just at read over the thread even if it the last few pages..

2) There is no drm patch for pie, also covered here .. you can read through threads for kernel info posted by both j4nn and Bettle84 as they are quite informative.

3) if you had taken a few minutes to read through the thread you would have noticed the the rom is base on a stock firmware and runs as such and very stable. The majority of issues usually come from folks who have "failed" to follow the flashing proceedure properly.

4) if you haven't already unlocked your bootloader then stop what your doing and do it.. do it now without doing anything else to your phone .. lol.. and save your TA backup somewhere, where you won't delete it.. ie: besides on your computer..

1) it won't relocked your bootloader once it's unlocked it's done and you will get a nice message reminding you of it...everytime you turn on your phone .. 2) yes ...
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Razor10707:
First of all thanks for your quick reply, and sorry that I didn't really read into it but I'm not really the visual type so telling me facts works better than just going after the info I need so sorry bout that.

2, well that's sad to hear but alright

3, I know this is based on stock, that's why I called it s ROM patch, however, from my experiences with my previous phones there were instances where ROMs based on stock had some pretty bad issues and I just wanted to make sure.

4, so I can't lock it anymore but I can restore the TA to restore functionality alright, thanks again for your answer.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] aleks2405:
Hello! Thank You very much for existenz!!! I have now existenz9 and want upgrade to 10.

Should I do clean flash like on first page or I can only flash only existenz10 add-on without flashing stock rom again?

Thanks in advance for answer!

Have a nice day!
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] lilbrat:
It's all good..

2) there was a drm fix back in the Oreo days but nothing since..

3) no really the patch itself is super stable, and Bettle84 has made a patch for the patch..check the Theme and mod section..

4) ya Sony was nice to give us the ok to unlock it but not to relock it..though the message we get tells us that we should relock it..lol there is a nice guide posted in j4nn thread that goes through each step of the TA backup and reinstall process it's actually really good .. complete with pictures ... Once restored everything works just fine..

This is actually a good question, are you on the current .228 ? To be honest I am not sure, I would say go for it and let us know ....

I m on .107
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Razor10707:
2, I see well good to know but eh, I should be able to live without it.

3, good good, I really like Sony's stock ROM so I wanted to stay on it if possible just there are a few things missing which this patch includes and I'm eager to try it.

4, great to know, I'll do it in the winter break if everything goes well and let's hope for the best I guess and once again thanks, you were a great deal of help and I appreciate you took the time to answer.

Thanks for the great work. If I knew there's such a great rom, I've had unlocked my devices bootloader sooner. It really feels like a new phone, thanks to you.

I just had a question. I like using super-vivid color, but the thing is when I use super-vivid color, dark and black theme both look black. I was wondering if there's a way to make the dark theme a little bit brighter so it stays dark when turning the super-vivid on.

Of course its not a big deal, jus a thought.

Thanks

I am on HK latest firmware (.228) with clean installation. I cant get boot with v10.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] haiha2001:
1. Reflash stock rom via newflasher

2. Don't boot to system, unplug the charger and plug it back in the device, just plug and hold the volume up button until the blue LED shows up to fastboot.

3. Flash twrp via Fastboot : fastboot flash recovery ( file name twrp ).img

4. Unplug and hold power button + volume down to boot in twrp

5. Wipe cache, davik/cache, data, internal storage

6. Flash eXistenZ + Magisk and rebot ( remember flash eXistenZ first and then Magisk )

Hi Niaboc.

I flashed the .107 CE1 firmware, then flash the TWRP 3.2.3.0.

Before flash eXistenZ,I flashed a zip to encrypt \data .

Then my phone booted in,but it doesn't have cellular signal. When I input *#*#4636#*#* to check the status, it appears after a minute...The worst thing is it told me ''service state:radio off".

I tried remove and swap SIM cards, reboot...None of them worked.

And I can't use Wi-Fi too...

Hello folks !

I went into troubles with wifi this week. I was in a foreign country and so I deactivated roaming data on my private phone to not have unexpected expenses. In the same time I was using mobile of my company, with mobile data active.

In the hotel I decided to use wifi with my private phone but with no success, every time was asked to access to login page (as usual..) but after I entered login data I received message "connected, no internet access". With other phone of my company everything was fine ! I tried many things without success. I am using eXistenz, latest release , unlocked bootloader, rooted. Any suggestion for my next trip ?

For j4nn's kernel

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1899786940962609465
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] tombbb:
I backed up my TA-locked.img yesterday(wow! I'm old but I can do it! THX to j4nn), and now plan

to do the following:

1.unlock bootloader

2.restore TA and check camera function

3.upgrade from 47.1.A.16.20 to 47.2.A.11.228 via newflasher

4.fastboot 'flash' recovery (270recovery9omni8-1FBEkeymaster3-twrp3_3_1.img)

5.Reboot in recovery, Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik/ART Cache

6.flash existenz v10

7.flash magisk

dumb question 1:can it go wrong not using j4nn's hide kernel in the steps?

dumb question 2:in step 4, 'flash' instead of 'boot', right?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] DHGE:
congrats on backup - I did not do it since at the time I rooted the backup exploit was unknown to me and published a month later

1.unlock bootloader

:good:

2.restore TA and check camera function

locks your bootloader again ...

3.upgrade from 47.1.A.16.20 to 47.2.A.11.228 via newflasher

:good:

4.fastboot 'flash' recovery (270recovery9omni8-1FBEkeymaster3-twrp3_3_1.img)

won't work on locked BL (step 2)

5.Reboot in recovery, Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik/ART Cache

:good: with unlocked BL

6.flash existenz v10

to try it - fine (with unlocked BL)

7.flash magisk

fine (with unlocked BL)

Since SONY seemed to have abandoned our phone after 228 I would/will go straight to LineageOS 17.1.

Different beast (UI, Android 10) than eXitenZ Pie though.

It can go wrongerTM with a different kernel.

yes if that is what you want - boot should work too
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] tombbb:
Thank you for the tips! And I found the 'guide' in your signature very useful!

Maybe after I tried existenz, I'll also try lineage 17.

Thanks again!

ps: I should do more searching, because the 'locks your bootloader again' part is not what I expected.

edit: I finally got existenz and addon on my xz1 dual! Also j4nn's hidekernel made SOMC FIDO key and android attest key provisioned,

suntory blobs ready, ckb active, widevine active!

Big thanks to lilbrat, DHGE, and j4nn!

I have this issue with my phone right now, the system is using ram way more than it should be using, like it's using more ram than 2gb, sometimes even 3gb or more and triggers random shut down, I have to restart the phone every 2 hrs or so. Anyone have idea why is this happening.
