A couple things reading this thread

I dislike Apple, but their Sapphire Glass IS sapphire for what it's worth. Zach appeared to scratch it in his video, but precious mineral detectors do detect it. What actually happened is he shattered the glass while attempting to scratch it, due to it's thickness. Take that as you will for durability.

The Victus glass on this phone and other new models is more shatter - resistant, but as each new version from Corning is released it becomes less scratch resistant. They even changed their official reports on their products since I believe Gorilla Glass 2, as to not look bad. Their argument is that people prioritize drop protection over scratch protection, which I suppose holds water. This unfortunately leads to the argument "I used my old phone without a case for 5 years and no scratches, only fools would bother with a screen protector now!" Simply Google search "Pixel 6 scratches" and you'll see tons of people have already damaged their display, despite putting it alone in their pockets.

I personally refused to take this phone out of my house until my TPU screen protector arrived and I had a case on it. If you want your screen to remain pristine, I highly recommend the same. I do this for my own piece of mind though, as I doubt the resale value is going to be very high in a few years. Unfortunately only iPhones and some Samsungs retain much value. Given that, if you don't mind micro scratches, have at it and don't bother with a protector.

Lastly, TPU protectors have come a long way in the last few years. They don't feel rubbery anymore to the point that it feels gross, the screen looks 98% the same with one on, and in the case of soft protectors, the fingerprint works just about as well with one as without, especially because it's light based and not sonic.

Alternatively, purchase insurance. The pro is at minimum a $900 device, protect your investment!

I was very gentle with my phone. I was out in direct sunlight last weekend and noticed very fine scratches everywhere one the screen. ( These by the way are completely un visible indoors under normal lighting)

I immediately installed my armor shield protector.

Yes it'll scratch and it'll scratch easily.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Opensystem:
Hopefully it's just the oleophobic coating that's scratched, and not the screen itself
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ScrapMaker:
Even if that's the case, it's still collecting hoards of visible scratches.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
A wise man once said: Glass is glass and glass breaks. Scratches at 6, deeper grooves at 7.

I'd like to see a Victus-based screen protector though.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ScrapMaker:
Well, if vicus is crap on scratching, but better on shattering, wouldn't it make sense to have a protector that uses a previous version of glass that's more scratch-resistant?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
I guess that makes sense. The Gorilla Glass generations kinda blend together though.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Opensystem:
I don't think I've ever seen a gorilla glass screen protector.

Mostly they're just "9H" hardness rated, which is basically a ploy to make you think they're as strong as sapphire glass. Generally, glass screen protectors are there to shatter in a fall rather than your screen. I've seen compelling evidence that TPU actually offers more impact protection though
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ScrapMaker:
At least the screen replacement is super easy on these devices.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] shag_on_e:
This is an awesome screen protector I bought while waiting for Whitestone Dome and I love it. It doesn't have the guide frame but it was super easy to install and totally covers the curved screen. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09KC72DWF?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Sadly, already "Currently unavailable", but good to know. I'll keep a watch on it. I know it says compatible with the fingerprint reader, but do you concur?

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] shag_on_e:
Yep it works just the same as it did before, if there's any difference it's very hard to tell. I didn't even re register my fingerprints. Wow I can't believe they're out of stock so quickly?! Well they are the only screen protector I could find using UV glue to actually adhere to the curved screen until Whitestone Dome releases this month.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
how much was it? it includes a UV lamp? so I'm guessing like 50 or more USD? ....the LK TPU protectors are great. haven't used a screen protector since forever but wow they feel great. I just really suck putting them on. apparently I'm made of dust.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] shag_on_e:
No this kit was only 20 bucks! It came with 3 tempered glass protectors, 4 glue bottles, 3 cleaning kits, tape to cover buttons and speakers, and leveling pads. I really hate those soft plastic protectors so I searched until I found the only UV glue glass kit, and it took two weeks to ship. Unfortunately now it's unavailable.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] JGuinan007:
Does it work well with a case on it?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] webvan:
Good point about 9H protectors shattering instead of your phone. What's strange though is that these cheap protectors don't get scratched that much even though you don't pay attention to keys or coins...so why do the advanced Gorilla glasses get scratched so easily!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
Brass keys and coins aren't hard enough to scratch glass. Sand is and spring steel ie key ring. Any micro grit your fingers rub against the display.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] webvan:
Sure, I was just pointing out that in my case at least cheap 9H screen protectors rarely/never get scratched unlike the Gorilla screens, they do get broken though!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
Glass is anywhere from 5.5 to 7 Mohs hardness.

Hardness isn't the same as impact resistance though. The main goal with Victus is increased resistance to breakage and reduced fatiguing from multiple drops. Victus and tempered glass are around 7 Mohs.

If your tempered glass shatters in a multi impact drop you may end up with no protection. With plastic it's still there and can't scratch glass.

Hi,

[Sony Xperia 1 III] MK73DS:
Nice work. I'm glad to already see some custom ROMs (well, in that case, SOM).

However, this is the first time I encounter a SOM, is it just a Magisk module that can be turned on and off at will, switching between stock and Mars? Or shouldn't I do that?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] tknguyencsu@gmail.com:
Could you please tell me where can I obtain more information about this "Mars Som" and more details instruction to install it. Thanks for your reply.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Miustone:
Thanks for Your Interest! I'm reconstructing the SOMs on GitHub and the ReadMe's there will be updated soon with more Infos! For now, just Check My (Discontinued) MARS-SOM Repo on GitHub...

BR
[Sony Xperia 1 III] tonysunshine:
Hrm guessing this isnt rdy yet? Just tried installing the base and rom in Magisk 23 as modules but it causes a bootloop. Noticed on GitHub says android 12 is required?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Miustone:
Sorry for the Issues! Could You try again now? I have removed the Vendor stuff for now...

Can You also try to use them seperated? I do actually not own the 1 III so i can't test Myself. Feel also free to collab. with Me on GitHub (:
[Sony Xperia 1 III] tonysunshine:
Hi what do you mean by use them separated? Like install/activate the base module, reboot, then do the system module?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Miustone:
Yep, it could be one of them or both which causes the Bootloops. I updated the Base so it might be that... The System should cause less Problems at the end... @tonysunshine
[Sony Xperia 1 III] tardis_42:
I also got a bootloop after installing the zips. I tried following the instructions on your github and was able to do the device simulation with the props config module, but can't follow the next step "Download and extract the NgaResources.apk to /MARS_SOM_SYSTEM/system/product/app/NgaResources" as there's no NgaResources.apk file anywhere on the github that I can find. Could it be this missing file that's causing issues?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] akkk44:
Xperia 1 III here.

I followed the steps on github and everything went smoothly even after I flashed the MARS_SOM_BASE zip. However, after flashing the MARS_SOM_SYSTEM , I stuck in a bootloop. I have downloaded the MARS_Product_Overlay apk and place it.

I am willing to help if you need further info.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Miustone:
Wow, I'm glad the BASE zip worked so far. You are getting a lot out of it. But I'm pretty sure there will be bugs around somewhere...

And thanks a ton for Your Post! I'm on the go but if You want to test around...

Move folders out of the _SYSTEM /system Folder like /product, /vendor and so on. Start with removing all except for one Folder and try if it boots up. If You can tell Me which folder causes issues or even which files will I handle it on GitHub for You.

About the Files @tardis_42 . You can find the Files on My Website / Google Drive. The link is in the Readme on GitHub
[Sony Xperia 1 III] akkk44:
I wanna help but recovering from bootloop is a real pain in my a**. I somehow managed to disable all magisk moudules and get out of boot loop but I am not sure if I can do it again. The only two methods I knew about getting out od a bootloop is removing modules with TWRP but currently 1 iii doesn't have one, the other method is using the adb command but I am not sure how to send adb commands to the phone while it stucked in a bootloop.

Any ideas?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Miustone:
You can simply hold Volume down while booting to get into "Recovery Mode". It disables all Modules and most Apps. You can reboot from that into the normal state again... Should mention that somewhere I think... (It's a Magisk Feature too)

Edit: Does not work with USB Connected! Hold Volume down after You see the Bootloader Unlocked Message. Keep holding until You are in Android

Edit 2: Think Ill make Video guides too for some needs if there is enough Interest...
[Sony Xperia 1 III] akkk44:
Understood! I will test the module out sometime……
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Miustone:
Great! Thanks in advance! 👍
[Sony Xperia 1 III] tardis_42:
I tried there, but the file mentioned on the github readme (NgaResources.apk) isn't there - just these two:

As an old HTC Lover already a warm Welcome Here! Guess You will be more as Happy with this true Flagship!

Hope You will enjoy my coming Development for Xperias. Including AOSP ROMs, TWRP and more of MARS 👍🏼
[Sony Xperia 1 III] SkaboXD:
@Miustone

I see that you disabled compander & set analog volume to 20 & digital volume to 84 for DAC in mixer_paths_noextcodec_snd.xml, which is good.

My only advice is to switch DAC from LOHIFI to HIFI mode. Battery increase for slightly better audio quality is non-existent/negligible.

From:

<ctl name="RX_HPH_PWR_MODE" value="LOHIFI" />

<ctl name="RX HPH Mode" value="CLS_H_LOHIFI" />

To:

<ctl name="RX_HPH_PWR_MODE" value="HIFI" />

<ctl name="RX HPH Mode" value="CLS_H_HIFI" />

&

From:

<ctl name="RX_HPH_PWR_MODE" value="ULP" />

<ctl name="RX HPH Mode" value="CLS_H_ULP" />

To:

<ctl name="RX_HPH_PWR_MODE" value="HIFI" />

<ctl name="RX HPH Mode" value="CLS_H_HIFI" />

Here, you can see that DAC is either in UltraLowPower mode or LowHifi mode.

My device, Poco X3, shipped with ULP mode by default and while it's sound quality was ok, it's amp was so weak. Switching DAC from ULP to HiFi mode along with analog & digital volume increase increased maximum volume nicely & slightly improved sound quality.

I accidentally stumbled on this thread and I remember your work from ZTE Axon 7 days which you quickly abandoned. While I prefer more system-ly and native solutions without using scripts or Magisk, I think that you have an interesting work.

I am considering to join the Sony family once Sony Xperia IV launches. It looks like an very interesting device to me. And I want to experience great design & build quality with clean software for reasonable price after using this plastic mess lol. The only Xiaomi device where I liked design & build quality was white Poco F2 Pro.

Cheers!

[Sony Xperia 1 III] Miustone:
Yeha, i am sorry for the lack of Communication but i have a lot of work going on for Xperias. Stay tuned :)

It's an Magisk Module. Just try it and remove it if You don't like it... There are many additions baked in rn.

This is 100% correct. It's a side Project rn since i am working on AOSP/LOS and Trees besides overhauling the whole SODP Repos on Github. Updates will come at a time!

@Miustone this feature could be awesome since this phone is one of the last one with audio jack. Do you know if this could be implemented? Thank you
[Sony Xperia 1 III] KenHerman:
I installed 20 as soon as it was available to download. It was fairly stable on my III, but the one thing that made me go back to 19.1 was that the bluetooth would only play from the speaker (not ear buds). I do use the phone as a DD, but only minimally (phone, SMS, wifi, bluetooth). Get that working and I'm game.

you use this rom on Xperia 1iii?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] KenHerman:
I had it on the phone (Xperia III) for a few days. Like I said, the only real reason I uninstalled it was the bluetooth issue of not playing thru the ear buds. Other than that, it booted and ran pretty well for an alpha.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sakuma_Eitarou:
camera and camera button works? Assistant button work?

[G1 General] USF NATE:
I think I will wait until mine comes in on the 22. That price is ridiculous. $850 buy it now. ROFLMAO!!

damn i paid more than that lol
[G1 General] Black93300ZX:
G1 For Sale

I can get a G1 for a pretty good price, more than the retail will be but it hasn't released and will sell out quick, so yeah. Would anyone be interested in a G1 for like $600 shipped, I'll send it out on Monday morning overnighted USPS with insurance? Brand new, still in box. Let me know.
[G1 General] beartard:
hey...buddy...wanna buy a watch?
[G1 General] orb3000:
Or perhaps an Iphone?......LOL

Just kidding
[G1 General] Black93300ZX:
I actually do need a nice watch, my last Citizen watch finally broke after like 5 years. My wrist feels empty. :(

As for the iPhone, I have an iPhone 3G brand new in box like 8 feet away from me... And no intentions and/or temptations of removing it from the factory packaging.

Back to the G1, I think I have someone set to buy, but I'll update here later on.
[G1 General] benjimen:
Isn't full price $399...? Only having T-Mobile specific 3G bands, the G1 wouldn't get past EDGE on other carriers like AT&T...
[G1 General] Black93300ZX:
Exactly, it would only get EDGE on AT&T... Why do you think I'd never buy one for myself?

And yeah, full price is $399 but considering they're already sold out and then some on preorders, good luck getting one any time soon. :P

I could get the phone for like $450-460 shipped right now, but like I said, I have no use for it. There are people paying $1000+ for them, so I figured 600 wouldn't be too bad for both sides.
[G1 General] benjimen:
The pre-order alottment is sold out, yes. The stores in 3G areas will be getting them on Oct. 22nd though. I guess if someone in a non-3G market wanted one ASAP and didn't want to wait until 11/10 -- might be happy to find you :)
[G1 General] Black93300ZX:
There won't be plenty in stores, if you preordered before October 3rd you'll get yours shipped 22nd-23rd, if you preorder after it'll take them longer to get it to you. I'm willing to bet this turns out to be a lesser iPhone surge, but like I said it's irrelevant to me because I have AT&T. I was going to buy and re-sell it, instead I just gave the guy who asked me contact info of where to get it for $460, I'm too lazy to go through that. :)
[G1 General] Ryanmo5:
Yeah can't say im shocked about people like this who try and rip people off, if i had that much money to spend on a phone it sure wouldn't be spent on the g1!!

Pretty expensive right? 626,95 USD (4 670,03 SEK) incl shipping to Sweden + tax and customs, but what options do you have when ordering to Europe? Is there a better deal, preferrable "Buy it now"?

Maybe I should wait till it reaches the UK or what do you think? I'm getting tired of waiting of Android to be ported to my current HTC...
[G1 General] Black93300ZX:
I got an offer of $400 shipped to me, I don't consider that to be outrageous at all. When the phone comes out, what will it cost? $400 + shipping.
