Amazing, thanks for this rom! I am gonna try this once Sony stop doing security updates for the Xperia 5 and then I will also try LineageOS and see which one is better! Thanks for this rom though, I really thought this phone was gonna be dead after support stopped from sony, the community isnt too big for the Xperia 5 but its a great phone, just needs some roms. :)

Please can you make this ROM for Xperia 1? Would really appreciate it.
[Sony Xperia 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Miustone:
Things i have notices so far:

- ROM is only on Bootslot B and is Set as Default

- Bootslot A still Runs Stock

(Fixed that by Manually flashing everything to A with Fastboot (Extracted Payload Bin)

- Display/Framework Overlay isnt fitting right

(Some Apps have cutted Statusbar)

- Batterylife isn't that great compared to Stock/GSIs

- Recovery is almost useless for any flashing since it only Supports Metadata based Installers

Wish there would bei TWRP for Our Devices. Think that would Change a Lot for US... Eg fixing the ROM Installer for A/B and releasing Patches from My Side. Stock ROMs would also bei possible...

Thanks anyways for the great AOSP ROM! Havent found any big Bugs yet 🤎

I encounter a problem with microphone system. Its default choice is to use some microphone which is not the main one, and affect all the actions that using microphone (video recording, calling...)

So far the only app I can use the microphone properly is mcpro24fps, where I can choose which Audio Source input, which is not the option on almost apps out there including the stock ones

Does this work on the SO-01M docomo version?
[Sony Xperia 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] bobbyamarthaa:
yes
[Sony Xperia 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] vitality.kai:
Have you installed it on the same model? If yes, how did you unlock the bootloaders and flash the rom? Could you give me a detail instruction on how you did it?
[Sony Xperia 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] bobbyamarthaa:
You ask if this can be used in docomo, I said yes because I use that unit myself, and have used several other roms which you can see in the other thread.

if you're asking how to do that, I don't think this is the right place, try to go around the forums, then you'll find something.

Hello, thanks for working with the rom. class work. I could only use the Rom for 8 weeks. But I was very happy.

Unfortunately, the USB port of my Sony is defective and I can no longer charge it. That's why I ordered a Pixel7a. But now I can't find the two tones for calls and notifications anymore. If someone would be so kind and post me the two standard settings of the rom here. Thank you!

[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] jknoptrix:
I decided to root my phone, but after rebooting into Fastboot via adb, I was a little wary, because I noticed not Fastboot, but FastbootD, but even scored on it, because it was detected through fastboot devices. I wrote all the necessary commands for flashing the recovery partition, everything seemed to be successful, but after writing fastboot reboot, the phone got stuck in fastboot mode. Like, no matter how much you reboot or flash it - it literally doesn't care, it reboots back to fastboot mode. Also, after several such reboots, fastboot began to issue as many as two devices when trying to find them, and you have to execute it through the -s operand in order for the commands to be used. In addition, there was a delay in the region of two to three seconds before the command was executed. What to do about it? Reflash via flash-all.bat in the firmware archive, or is it possible to restore it without it?View attachment 5445915
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] kruemelmonzta:
hi folks,

i have a strange problem with the HTC Stereo Converter with Microphone from brando.hk

http://shop.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=01946&dept_id=027&cat_id=0937

whenever i plug it in, use it with earphones listening to music after some minutes my diamond starts to call the last called person.

i don't klick on anything, it just starts to call "by itself".

cost me a lot of money to "autocall" a friend from a foreign country :(

anybody got the same problem/a solution for that problem?

using dutty's diamond rom 1.93WWE, radio: 1.00.25.07

additionally the sensorlock program
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] FHM123:
I had the same problem with my phone.

First I've tried to change the radio and rom but no use: still with the same problem.

Now I've changed the earphone/mic by another and now it's working fine.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] zhazhazi:
I got same problem, how you solved it?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] lecterro:
This is not so rare problem and it is due to stupid function of redialing after double click on active button on original headset. When you connect your adapter and 3,5mm headset then it is identified sometimes as doubleclick and starts redialing. This function is completly useless for me and is causing a lot of unwanted calls even if I do not have adapter connected( sometimes I just doubleclick active button by incident). I would be very happy if someone could tell me where can it be disabled in registry.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] samlis:
Hi, I would like your opinion for the purchase of another smartphone equivalent to Galaxy s21 ultra like Honor after the return of google service or another brand thank you in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Meh, oranges to lemons.

I go with a N10+ or a N20U running on no higher than Q.

The S21U isn't a favorite of mine. Android R is a dog and 12 will likely be worse.

No SD card. Lacks the gorgeous design of the N10+ and damn, are we back to round corners again?

You need to decide what you want. You're all over the road so how to you expect to get home?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Beefheart:
I'd go for the OnePlus 9T. Great phone, just not quite to the hardware standard of the S21 Ultra but not far off.

Yeah, we get it. Mainly from you posting the same thing at every opportunity.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Face it 2021 sucks for Android.

1+? Bah-ha-ha-ha... I meant no comment.

We? You a committee of one now?

Actually I'm restraining myself a lot... take your own bloody advice, mate.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Beefheart:
Committee of one? No, just someone who's a bit bored of you posting the same complaints, and I'd be surprised if I'm the only one. You're continually saying that you don't like :-

Android R

Android Q

The additional security Google has put in place since Android R

Not having a memory card slot

Having round corners

You don't need to post it every time the opportunity arises so maybe a little more constraint is called for?

I'm curious, do you even have an S21 Ultra? If so it sounds to me like you should sell it and go back to the Note 10+ if you still have it, or buy one with the resulting funds.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Off topic. Do what I do and hit ignore button for the bores... now you're dead to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Beefheart:
I'm heartbroken.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] varcor:
There's the Sony Xperia 1 III. Compares very favorably to the S21 Ultra and surpasses it in a number of features. Display, MicroSD, 3.5 Jack and Faster Charging. The Sony is a bit more expensive but with the MicroSD you can lower the cost by acquiring the 128GB version and add up to 512GB External Storage. That isn't an option with the S21 Ultra and if you opt for 512GB it increases the cost of Galaxy device to $1,400 USD. Definitely worth a look.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
The Sony supports up to 1tb SD cards. A 1tb V30 rated Sandisk Extreme can be had for $179 now.

A .5tb V30 card goes for about $80.

V30 rated cards will play movies, music with no issues.

Using the SD card as a data drive is preferable to one huge internal shared drive.

Not sure how scoped storage in Android 11/12 will impact its use/functionality though...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] varcor:
I don't understand why scoped storage is a deficiency to a large degree. It assists in accessing permissions which app developers fail to build into their specific platforms. I don't care to go way off topic from the OP however I would suggest it's a much larger benefit than a drawback.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] varcor:
You should accept not everyone prefers a device shaped like a box, most devices have rounded corners so you're in the minority. It's a subjective assessment, your opinion doesn't go beyond you.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
In your opinion... funny how you think you're opinion is the majority.

Manufacturers like rounded corners as it requires less precision and is cheaper to fabricate. Did they remember to pass that savings to you?

Scoped storage hasn't been properly integrated and will cause problems for years.

For what? When was the last time malware forced you to reload a Android?

As an added benefit scoped storage will use more cpu cycles to protect you from yourself.

Obviously this should benefit you.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Amr Faried:
Man, do you even have s21 ultra?

If No, then why bothering to discuss ur "superior" N10+ in an s21 ultra group?

If Yes, then why bringing ur "marvelous the 8th wonder of the world" N10+ in an s21 ultra group every single thread discussing an issue related to s21 ultra?

At last, it's ur opinion and you really don't need to convince us with it, have a blast
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
30/3, I see why.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] varcor:
You're tripping over toothpicks, get over it. If you have input on the OP feel free to share, getting into the weeds over items which are non sequitur benefits no one.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mirrin:
I do it makes it easier to put in a case with round corners made of rubber and a flat glass screen protector. Round edges suck they limit accessories and make manufacturing disposable protection more difficult

So You're farming reaction score and messages?

Here, let me help you with another reply
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Joloxx9:
It is S21 forum, don't expect people to think rationally about the phone which costed them more than 1k. I have S21 ultra and I am happy with the phone, but it doesn't mean that I am blind and see only bright side, specially where we have couple of nasty wrong things with it.

I have noticed that you have two choices, be hurray-optimistic and happy with device, or you are going to be called hater. It is really simple, I was on facebook group about PS5 and as I own one, I could put some criticism regarding console itself but no, it is not allowed. You are happy or get lost, simple.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] fonix232:
It isn't, for most of the time. Literally the only apps that need full storage access are file managers, of which you should only need one (or maybe two, one for advanced management, and one for everyday use). Besides, Google does have an API to get around scoped storage for such apps.

@samlis to answer your question, I think the phone that comes closest to the S21 Ultra is the Pixel 6 Pro. Apart from the slightly worse camera (you can literally not tell the difference in most photos, except for night mode, which the Pixel wins hands down, and >10x zoom, in which case the S21 Ultra wins).

However with the S22 coming so soon (in about 3-4 months), you might be better off waiting for that, either because it will offer much better experience at very similar price points, or because it will drive the S21's price down.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] varcor:
Compare specs between any Pixel device including the 6 Pro and an Xperia 1 III. The Xperia wins going away when matched with the S21 Ultra, it's not even close. Hardware, UI and Features, the only segments Pixel owns is camera (not by much if any), charging and price.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] samlis:
Thank you very much for your reply what do you think of the Xiaomi 11 lite Ne?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
Closest device by far is the pixel 6 pro. Some minor differences by almost identical. I have had them both.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] varcor:
There is no equivalent to the S21 Ultra. The only device coming out of China would be the Huawei 40 Pro as far as hardware and specs. The problem is it's Harmony OS and Apps which are half baked not to mention it has no Google Services. The Xperia is likely it's closest competitor but it's expensive and the UI is more complicated and confusing compared to the Ultra. IMHO the Pixel 6 Pro isn't a top tier competitor, it has great cameras but not much else to boast. There's no such thing as perfect device, list features which are important to you then pull the trigger, only then will you know for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] arknailed7754:
I don't get it...you don't want the s21 ultra but you want opinions of it's competitors in an s21 forum?

It's apple and oranges. Having the biggest specs does not always mean a like for like scenario. Some win in departments and lose in others.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] samlis:
Thank you, actually I want to sell it and buy another cheaper one that has a good rear and front camera and a good battery, that's all
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] arknailed7754:
Oh I see..

Well I owned the s20+ from last year and was extremely happy with it. Only reason I upgraded was my son needed a phone and thought why not.

I'd not go OnePlus anymore to be fair.

I think xaomi is the way to go. The 11t etc is a good shout if you want to go cheaper.

Obviously you have the pixels..but selling prices for the s21 ultra obviously decrease dramatically so your best bet is to buy the new device refurbished etc then you'll still have the excess from selling the s21 ultra
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tfn:
If not for the S21 Ultra I'd bet on the Pixel 6 Pro.
[OnePlus 9] tweetyfiestuky:
Hi, recently I got my new op9 and it's awesome about fast and fluidity, but I can't say the same about pics taken :( Id like to ask the community of any gcam or any similar cam app which improves oscam for more detailed or processing sw photos.

Thanks!
