[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Mooatreides:
I was completely static sitting at work when these readings were taken, thing is same type of graph happens at home also . Previously the graph would be always between 40 to 80 and no sharp ups or downs all just normal(fromnexactly same locations) and this erratic signal only started after i lost my sd and sim connection for like 12 hours (shaking the phone brought it back which leads me to think it hardware).

My gf once shoved in a pin to eject the sd and i think she did it too far or something and nicked some solder point since shortly after the sim and sd stopped working, but everything went back to normal after a while. This second time it happened again that i lost sim and sd and now i have this erratic graph where it says my signal is at 0 but i still got a call.

Jsut to try i switched from evox to crdroid and i observed the same type of signal graph so its not a rom thing.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Mooatreides:
these readings are from when i switched roms to test and its the same.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] TNSMANI:
Apart from Gsam showing these readings, do you have any issues with calls? If not, I would simply ignore it.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Mooatreides:
I had problems with download speeds, i was getting like half normal.

I FIXED it though with a bushfix, i put like 4 layers of cellophane tape on my sim card and now it seems it presses it in better, my stats are now steady between 40-80 depending if im indoors or out, no drop offs at all.

I hope this lasts! if not looking into mi 9 or K20 pro.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] thesoupthief:
I'm having the same bs with mine (losing SIM and sd card access periodically). I have the added ballache of random shutdowns for hours at a time.

After noticing one side of the SIM tray was slightly worn down and wondering if it wasn't pressing the cards onto the terminals sufficiently firmly, I tried adding tape. One layer didn't do the trick and I was reluctant to use more and get it stuck inside the phone.

I've ordered a new SIM tray from Ali express - hope this will do the trick
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Mooatreides:
Really grinds my gears having this stuff happen, at first i thought the connectors were broken, im not sure if its the tray though cuz i took my girls poco sim tray with her sd an last time it dint detect hers either.

Try what i did first to see if it helps, 3/4 layers of the clear tape, put it on the sd n cut to size.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] D1stRU3T0R:
Soo you are saying that sometimes your simcard would randomly die with no reason, and even after getting out and putting back didn't 100% fixed it?

Also that your phone suddenly died for like 2 hour and you couldn't start it no matter what?

Cuz i had these 2 problems.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] thesoupthief:
Yup, that's what has been happening. Sometimes popping out the SIM and reinserting it helps, but often it doesn't. I've found it happens less when the SIM is in the SIM 1 slot rather than SIM 2, meaning I can't use an SD card. Makes me wonder though if it's mechanical, hence whether a new SIM tray might help

Random shutdowns are a PITA. They've lasted days before now

I returned it to Xiaomi for repair. They found it started up and returned it insisting it is fine. Despite videos showing the problem. Waste of time!

Did you manage to get yours over this or is it still happening?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] D1stRU3T0R:
It didn't happend after 3 shut downs. And neither the sim issues. Just to be sure i CLEAN FLASHED AND LOCKED BOOTLOADER than unlocked again and clean flashed latest xiaomi eu. Since then i didn't had any of those problems (but i got another one, maybe because of malakas kernel, rarely my screen would get stuck and only reboot could fix it(or touch sensor, not the OS)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] thesoupthief:
I've done factory resets, without any improvement, but haven't relocked my bootloader

Might try that if I can summon the resolve

I've half convinced myself that it's a mechanical thing though with the positioning of the SIM card seeming to make a difference...
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] D1stRU3T0R:
I had the same, couldn't fix it and i got mad and put it in slot 2,whitout sdcsrd, than it worked, i was afraid that i bricked sim 1 (its sim 0 in reality but doesn't matter), than i put it back and never had problems since than. I recommend you to:

Clean Flash back 9.6.27 beta with miflash (while relock bootloader)

Unlock bootloader, install twrp, CLEAN FLASH (well i didn't wiped system cuz some people said that on the forum, and tbh doesn't affected me) latest xiaomi eu (again, whitout wiping system but wiping all), install malakas kernel and latest magisk (13 or even 14) and if you want install FDE.Ai.

If you have problems even after all of this, than it's maybe damaged hardware, which is very unlikely.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Mooatreides:
my sim has been with stable signal strength since i put acouple layers of tape on the top.

flashing things ddidn't help me at all. I was considering mi9 to replace but developpement on K20pro looks like it will b way better.

so dar everything works so ill wait a couple months before buying a new phone.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] thesoupthief:
I've just been on holiday for a week, during which time I had no shutdowns at all. Could be total coincidence, but a few days before I went I moved the SIM from slot 2 to slot 1. I've done this previously and still had random shutdowns, but strangely this time it seems to be behaving currently. Most odd
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] D1stRU3T0R:
I never had problems agaon, BUT like 2 days my sdcard disconnected and could never put it back, even if it worked in another phone...
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] thesoupthief:
Solution?

Recap: since my F1 was about 3 months old I've been getting apparently random shutdowns lasting moments to months, also similarly sporadic signal loss and disconnection of the SD card. Have returned it to the manufacturer who took a bunch of cash from me, found it worked when they turned it on and returned it to me. A couple of days after receiving it back it shut down and continued to do so, exactly as before I sent it off. I started putting the SIM in the other slot and it worked reliably for about a month, then it all went to rat **** again.

About 2 weeks ago it shut down and wouldn't restart since. Pissed off with it and content that the warranty has no value, I took the back off last night and found that the antenna connection was loose. I pushed it in firmly (along with all the other connections to the motherboard - battery, screen etc) and fastened down the black motherboard bracket / plate / cover a bit more securely than previously, put it all back together and....

When I pressed the power button it sprang into life!

First time in 2 weeks and it's been steady as a rock since

I hope I'm not posting this prematurely - that the problem won't recur now I've tempted fate, but the initial signs seem promising :)

Kind of wish I'd got my screwdriver out 7 months ago and saved myself all the fannying about!

Btw, this teardown was helpful in case anyone wants to take the plunge https://youtu.be/LlubcWbsSQk

HAVE BEEN DELETED, I don't know what happen, his own website and his kernel is also deleted.

I have the same as the #5, but a bit different, there were 4 identical page on the screen, such like 4 1080p in a 4k screen, I think the 120HZ 1080p display driver is the reason.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Moarten:
I was on latest stock when flashing (following every step), when it boots and show the sony logo, it gets distorted (characters in the top and middle) and then reboots. I've reflashed stock, wiped everything including system, tried older twrp, and even flashed the G8142 image on my G8141, but i keep getting the distorted sony logo followed by a reboot. Is there anything else i have to do?

I had this issue before with AOSP but i never figured out how to fix it.

G8141, unlocked bootloader, .80 stock, twrp 3.3.1.0 and 3.2.3.0

Hey, have you tested the performance of EAS kernel ?

Could you please test the scores of GeekBench ?

BTW, you'd better remove the rqbalance in devices tree and disable cpu_quiet in kernel.

Besides, you need to replace the PowerHal in common. The PowerHal of SODP doesn't support EAS, you need to port it from Pixel 2.

All in all, well done!

It broken easily if screen off so please hold it on all the time.

With 120Hz all the gpu text showed obvious frame fluctuation.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Sjll:
EAS is not stable on SODP. GPU of MSM8998 is hard to afford 120Hz.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] undefine:
Smooth, fast(20sec boot time including 5 second bootloader unlocked nag!) and clean rom thanks a lot! Sadly not going to be my daily driver because lack of features, and my device overheats sadly because of 120hz. Also it takes me 3 reboots to get into recovery any idea why?

Advices:

Get rid of pre installed google, allow users to install separately.

JamesDSP should be stabilized, I just get FC all time can't get it to work. (Would be better to just remove as well and allow user to install separately)

Default DPI is too low, should be 420 for ease of use.

Sony camera should be added, as in Sjll's LineageOS. ***

Ancient app logos (kitkat calendar calculator etc) should be updated.

Device-wide dark mode which includes Phone, Calendar, Settings and Files should be made. **

Phone application should be de-google-ified, Spam filter inside just feeds Google with private call data. ***

Option to switch resolution and frame rate on the go.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Astoras:
Heyo, wondering if you can add a quick and dirty CIFS kernel module. There are some universal versions floating around online.

Signing them is above my skill level. I don't know if the signing process has to be implemented on a device by device level. If that is an impediment, maybe consider removing the requirement for kernel modules to be signed in the first place? I don't know, I'm no expert.

Just a PSA. Someone got rclone mounts working via Magisk. Can be found in repo. Sadly, no support for cifs or nfs. But webDav works. The largest downside is that the mounts can't be mounted directly onto sdcard. Something the cifs kernel module did no problem. With rclone you'll need an app with root browsing capability. Or at least full access to /storage.

UPDATE: The rclone Magisk version has been updated to support direct sdcard mounts! Yay! So, there isn't really a need for a cifs module.

However, I'm certain the performance will be better with a cifs module. So, it's not necessary, but could be a cool benefit if added.

Thanks for all the work! It doesn't go unnoticed.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] CRNO:
i hope you add other version special 90hz because 120hz make my device overheats and thank you

Try again, a few of the previous builds were bootlooping, I'll try update instructions too.

Try again, a few of the previous builds were bootlooping, I'll try update instructions too. ROM isn't on my website and never was :).

Don't use my stock kernel with this.

It performs better, battery is decent now (after a load of changes). We now (as of today) have a Power HAL (libperfmgr) which supports DT2W on supported devices too. I may or may not update it to version 1.3.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] LazerL0rd:
No, it's EAS and you could test it out.

Yeah, I fixed that a while ago - try again please.

Yeah, I fixed that a while ago - try again please.

I don't get all this 120Hz issue, it's not as simple as "set 120Hz get lag" and like our phone can handle it on UI, at least. The worst case is battery but IIRC it wasn't too different from 60Hz. Anyways it's 90Hz now.

I don't get all this 120Hz issue, it's not as simple as "set 120Hz get overheat" and like our phone can handle it on UI, at least. I changed up the thermal driver so it should be good now. Btw those thermal modules in Magisk won't change a thing as I use sultan's thermal framework now - not RQBalance stuff. DPI has an option on setup under "vision", choose what you like. I added GCam instead, it's gonna be better quality than Sony's crappy cam app. Ancient app logos aren't gonna be updated, these are ASOP packages - instead I'm replacing them with Google packages. Also I made everything Squircle shaped too. Device-wide dark mode will be coming soon, needs some kanging [with original authorship] from Q. Phone application should be de-google-ified -> you can turn off the spam filter and install any Dialer you want. I'm not dealing with darkening AOSP's package so that's why I'm using Googles. Google can get your data if Play Services is installed anyways. Option to switch resolution and frame rate on the go -> idk why SODP removed that.

For Android kernels, you can't just chuck a module in. But I'll add it to the kernel config for ya.

Already done. And - "I don't get all this 120Hz issue, it's not as simple as "set 120Hz get overheat" and like our phone can handle it on UI, at least."

If possible post ss and pics.

If it's sodp, how is raw capture possible (which is needed for gcam hdr+) ?

Also should I backup my drm keys to get the widevine L3? Sorry for the noob question, all this sony drm keys thing is pretty confusing.

I download the zip after you just post the rom here so I can sure its yours not someone's else.

It's really awesome,seems more better than original rom,but I have 3 troubles now,

I have a G8142 dual SIM:

Wifi connection always get error - NETWORK_SELECTION_DISABLED_ASSOCIATION_REJECTION

Camera always crash

2nd SIM sometimes have no signal (or out of service / without connection)

Could help me to found how to solve it please?

Thank you!

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] LazerL0rd:
SODP used a remake of the Camera HAL and it's own cool code and drivers for Camera. It's no longer bound to the trashy DRM.

It's still a bit buggy tho. Hopefully the fix I'm thinking of is the cure, but we'll find out tomorrow.

The unlocking bootloader and flashing methods couldn't be anymore disperse and unclear than for this device. Are the instructions in your first post for straight from stock? If not, could you please link or post specific instructions for flashing your rom from untouched bootloader locked stock pie (47.2.A.10.80)?

Also you didn't confirm the drm backup. Should I backup (or patch up like in xperiafix) anything related to drm at all?

Since this is based on SODP, is the irritating qualcomm assertive display (the 'feature' that just blows up the display gamma under sunlight and makes everything look crap) still present underneath?

I'm trying to move to your rom asap, especially for 90hz and gcam. Please help.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] lilbrat:
So if your bl is still locked way don't you first go and read j4nn's thread and back up your DRM keys so you at least have them in case you decide to return to a stock room at some point..
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Incrovantilist:
J4nn's guide for TA partition backup is instructing to downgrade to a certain firmware. But then again the link specified there for downgrade instructions leads to another page where there's no instructions, just some random errors that various people faced during flashing.

I found other videos and pages that specify how to downgrade from pie to oreo/nougat but each of them use a different flasher than newflasher which is suggested by j4nn because it leaves the TA partition untouched while flashing fw.

This is what I meant by disperse. There's no one page that specifies all that we need to do to unlock bootloader, backup drm keys from stock pie. All the complete ones are for oreo/nougat and are outdated (like the xperiafix). There's not even a clear guide for which twrp to use, stock from twrp website or modified from some dev?!

Each time I sit to unlock bootloader and flash some other rom, I get annoyed by all these disperse-ness and then decide to stick with stock itself.

I don't even mind instructions leading to various pages, but please someone point me towards the right set of pages, in the right order if possible, from ta backup till the right twrp.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] lilbrat:
ok, go back to j4nn thread , go to page 39 there is a post by munted, he has a really easy guide to follow in PDF format, that has pictures to go along with what your doing.. here you go..
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Incrovantilist:
Thanks a hell lot man. Will try and update. Thanks again. :good: :D
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] esse09:
Hello, did you manage to install this? Does this phone really need 42 pages of instructions just to install a different ROM? :crying:
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Incrovantilist:
thanks to [MENTION=4133204]lilbrat[/MENTION] i have successfully installed this rom. I have two main problems though.

The camera isn't working for me. The default gcam isn't opening at all and all other camera apps seem to show viewfinder but not take any pics. I did check and camera was working fine on stock after I restored TA.

The 90hz display is laggy af for me. Seems worse than 60hz and keeps scrambling the display randomly. If someone knows how I can change it back to 60hz via termux or adb, please let me know.

Also is this rom (and SODPs in general) dirty flash updatable?

---------- Post added at 10:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 AM ----------

It's mostly pictures. Max 3 pages if all instructions are accumulated and no pics. Just be careful with downloading firmware and twrp, the links in the guide are for XZ1c. Check J4nn's post for right firmware for XZP and check twrp.me for maple twrp.

Steps are not complicated and will seem straightforward if you have worked with adb and fastboot before.

Anyhow you need to have atleast 2 to 3 hours at your disposal, the renoroot step is pretty time consuming.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] lilbrat:
Not really the guide has some good info in it so take a minute to read it, you really just need to read the sections from how to do the TA backup and install.. plus it's handy if you haven't used Newflasher..

may sleep dead,gcam is keeping stopping . Great work
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] xyzdio:
ok

Instalation instructions for this rom are rights - you just need working twrp and make sure data partition is accessible from twrp (I've used one provided with extended aosp).

Current issues for me:

1. I can connect only to 5ghz WiFi networks

2. Everytime I need to use twrp (flashing new ROM build) I need to reflash recovery via fastboot

3. 90Hz is rly smooth, but launcher apps are felling kinda laggy - setting my live wallpaper on forced 35fps fixed this strange issue

4. Gcam APK provided with the ROM don't work - tried differents builds, and now I'm stick to version 6.2.30 F1 mod 9.3a (awesome photo quality compared to stock).

P.S.

My AnTuTu score around 131k

I can't get into recovery after i flashed this rom. When I'm trying to do it phone just reboot's or stays at SONY logo

Edit: Camera crashing. Another can like Open Camera or GCam can't do photos, only record
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] LazerL0rd:
Blame Sony, not me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Plus that's explaining a bit more than just the installation of my ROM.

I'll update my instructions soon.

Yeah, I'm replacing the GCam with another one soon.

The lagginess is from SDE/DRM on k4.9 not being entirely stable. Not the 90Hz. And TBH, it's not that laggy. The scheduler itself is quite well performing it's just the graphics ATM isn't amazing. Changing with Q and k4.14, hopefully.

Uhm, dirty flash is fine if you already were on the ROM. No need to clean flash updates. Just do a clean flash the first time.
