Go for Wonda. I purchased mine there. Everything worked fine. Which Provider do you have? 5g works fine with Telekom.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ZXR:
About one year ago I bought a HK Version of a N20u at T-Dimension. That device was shipped from Europe, therefore no tax issues. The communication was good.

Just to tell you an alternative.

But one question: SD and Exynos are not that different this time, why taking the risk of VoLTE issues and more complicated warranty processing?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] masihian:
Hey buddy

THX for your reply

Based on my findings on the internet (YouTubers & Articles), the SD variant performs better on camera quality and battery life (especially in standby discharge).
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] p.dixon0:
I got my S9080 12GB/512GB from techinthebasket and it was cheaper than Wonda 👍
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ZXR:
I see.

Regarding standby discharge it is pretty hard to compare, but I also heard of a modem topic.

Regarding camera quality, some rare comparisons show slightly lower artefacts at SD devices, a bit less sharpening a.s.o.. But what kind of camera quality is really important for you? E.g. if you do not like less sharp edges due to misaligned lenses or other tolerance effects, you might think of buying several S22u devices and comparing the lens alignment and keeping only the best one. This would not really show solidarity to the shops, but it is possible within our local regulations (Fernabsatzgesetz).
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] SamFR:
I live in France and I bought the S9080 Snapdragon 12/256 version on the rakuten site. Delivered in 6 days, it works 10 times better than the exynos version that I tried for several days

[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] patomovil:
I've read that image stabilization isn't working in some custom ROMs. Is there any custom ROM with the camera working well? I'm interested in a de-Googled ROM (ArrowOS vanilla seems to be the only option), or at least a de-bloated ROM, maybe even xiaomi.eu, but I don't want to lose the quality of the camera nor the GNSS/GPS precision (I bought this phone because of the dual-band GNSS). In general, I don't use any Google apps, from a data privacy motivation, though I guess GCam would be okay because I wouldn't give it network access. If I have to use Magisk, that's okay. My 115GNE is on stock MIUI 13.0.2 Global stable at the moment. I prefer solutions that allow easy OTA updating, but if that's not possible, please mention it. Thanks for your attention!

it changes... no idea because of what yet.

but it'll change back to blue sometime ^^

[XPERIA X1 General] Paitor:
ehh, so why do I have the color amber right now, 16:12?
[XPERIA X1 General] sshick:
to the Russian firmware

times very different

Amber: from 15:00 to 19:00
[XPERIA X1 General] alias_neo:
Hmm

As a PS3 owner (that doesn't use themes) it seemed obvious to me that the colour change was time related? Sony (Ericsson) Xperia <-> Sony Playstation. Although I would prefer if it went black at night like the PS3, because it can sometimes be too bright in the dark, same thinking for why the PS3 goes black at night.

A bit off topic but anyway to get it play WMA files. All my media are in WMA format.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Deleted member 11401259:
What is the best choice for the pixel 2 xl??? , i was reading about 3 different rooms that try to focus on user privacy and security. I don't need google apps, i love lineage but seems more for customize and get the last android version.

Graphene seems not longer mantained ...... so there are not many choices ......

Any advice???
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Deleted member 11401259:
Graphene --> No support yet :(

CalyxOS --> Maybe not updates anymore, maybe with the efforts of porting Android 12 but reading documentations seems depends of an old kernel. Bootloader relock is great and default apps are greats, microg has problems with some apps.

/E/ --> Seems active support but not bootloader relock.

Hello everyone, I'm having a problem with my phone, my phone country is set to Germany, but in apps and roaming configuration setting, it says that I'm basically in Poland, is there any way i can fix this thing because it's really annoying changing country phone code everytime and having struggles everyday when I try using my mobile data.

Please someone help.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheShadowOfAGhost20:
Hi guys.

It's been approximately 6 years since i bought this old beast. this is the first phone in my life that didn't torture me with freezes or lags after using it for some time thanks to its powerful hardware.

but now this beast is not agile like how it used to be, sometimes it freezes and does things with too much latency, as far as i remember, there were about 2 or 3 times that my phone froze too hard that i needed to do force shut down and almost all of them happened not more than 2 years ago. when i bought my PC 2 years ago, i started flashing different custom and official roms so many times now my phone runs LineageOS 18.1 currently.

I'm curious to know what caused my phone to slow down.

since i flash my phone sometimes and do full wipe each time before doing it, i think the problem is not software-related.

I've did some searches in google and found out that it can't be the CPU and it seems true because sometimes i'm playing some music while browsing in chrome and switching between apps, the phone lags even freezes but the music keeps playing without any stutter. I've read that memory chips can get worn over time so i'm guessing the problem is caused by one or both of these two:

1.eMMC chip

2.RAM chip

what is your comment? are these two the source of the problem? can the eMMC chip get replaced in this phone?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Have you updated or upgraded it, you know the destroyer of worlds stuff?

Phones don't slow down for no reason.

If nothing else changed and it's running atypically after a factory reset, the firmware may have been corrupted, reflash same version.

Pre Pie OS's are suspectable to that nasty class of rootkits that can worm out of the user partition. Again reflash it.

Battery, when was it last replaced? If the battery can't sink peak current demands it will cause all manner of trouble. Replace every 1 to 2 years on a heavily used device, routine maintenance.

It's possible there's been a subtle hardware failure maybe the ram or a microscopic transistor or two in the chipset. Cracked solder joint; BGA chipsets are especially vulnerable to this. A ribbon connector connection is intermittent.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RF Junkey:
You should be able to look at the memory each app is using. Chrome is known for being a memory hog. Your phone has 3 GB of Ram. Back 6 years ago that would be OK, today 6GB is even on the low side.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
True, limited running apps. Some new phones are shipping now with 6 or 8gb of ram; not enough. 12 or16gb be better.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheShadowOfAGhost20:
@blackhawk | @RF Junkey

Thank you guys for your answers😊

Haven't understood this, do you mean the bad policies from companies such as slowing down their phones by updates to force users to buy their new phones?

sometime between 1 and 2 years ago. i don't see any problem that relates to battery like random reboots etc. but could they affect performance without random reboots or boot problems?

well, last time i remember i dropped the phone was about 2 years ago. one of the annoying problems of my phone is it's front and back panels start getting detached, i got used to it, there is much dust inside the phone, the camera quality has been reduced because of it.

this phone played a gaming PC's role when i didn't have a PC (sometimes i held my phone in front of my fan to stop CPU throttling because of heat😅).

i too think there might be possible failures.

You're right, but i've experienced problems which were caused by low RAMs. the apps crash when there is no space available in RAM, i had this problem with all other phones. but in this phone i haven't seen such problem(because of RAM) so far even once!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Rule #1, if a OS is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission, let it be.

Upgrades, destroyer of worlds🤣

Pre Android 9 have some very serious rootkit vulnerabilities. Android 9 is fairly secure and best left be especially on an older phone.

On my N10+'s I don't do upgrades or updates. Running on Android 9 and 10.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheShadowOfAGhost20:
Sometimes i think about it, Android 6 is not that old. apps still support it. but i don't know why the hell i'm attracted to custom ROMs😅 i can't stop thinking about them...

hahaha got it😄. yeah i saw so many bad things by newer Androids. Most important of all of them are ridiculous restrictions.

one of the many reasons i believe in Android and HATE IOS is the freedom of Android but Google is screwing up so bad, making Android as disgusting as IOS.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Pre Android 9 OS are suspectable to those nasty rootkits that can worm out of the user partition.

A reflash maybe needed to purge it. Security though is largely controlled by the user; no saving dumb bunnies... not even Android 12.

I went from Kitkat to Pie, yeah a little future shock there🤣

Pie runs very well but that's on a N10+ with 12gb of ram. Nominally it uses 5-5.7gb of ram, so on an phone with less ram than that it may impact performance.

Pie has some annoying data app limitations but is reasonably secure, fast, stable and no scoped storage.

I have a second N10+ that's running on Android 10 (it shipped like that) Scoped storage appears to not be fully active. It has close to 100 new Samsung system apps to make it look and function like the Pie load. If that gives you an idea of how badly Google Android is boning developers. Otherwise it's stats are about the same as are appearance and functionality.

Old apps like the 6yo free version of WP Office will run fine in it. However Karma Firewall losses it's valuable logging feature in 10🧐 That seems to be the worst of it.

Android 11 and especially 12 are hogs on the N10+. Scoped storage is fully active along with the endless "do you really want to" permissions.

Might as well have a bloody Apple as use 11 or 12. Functionality and usability take a nose dive along with battery life. Gookill strikes again...🖕

Be warned.

As a result I will remain on Android 9 and 10.

Between Samsung's and Google Android's ball dropping fest I blew off the N20U, S21U and the latest S22U for another N10+, no regrets.

So yeah, you gotta do what works best for you.

I use whatever comes in handy🤣

LineageOS 19.1 for Sony Xperia XZ Premium

RELEASE

This is an alternative ROM for the Sony Xperia XZ Premium, offering several privacy features.

Please report any issues you observe apart from the ones listed below. Logs are needed for me to fix anything (preferably dmesg and logcat). I can't test NFC very thoroughly, to please report your findings.

FEATURES

Signed with dev keys

Up-to-date kernel

WireGuard kernel support

Real vendor partition

FBE instead of FDE encryption

DOWNLOAD

You can download the latest releases and TWRP here:

https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=333825

Check the ChangeLog below for firmware requirements!

INSTALLATION

This build uses a real vendor partition in place for the (now) useless oem partition. You will therefore need the modified TWRP with vendor/FBE support linked above.

Before first install: flash and boot into TWRP,

format

data, reboot to recovery and wipe all internal partitions.

After above step / any subsequent dirty flashes: Boot into recovery, put the ROM, GApps and root (if needed) on sdcard and flash.

Note: There is not going to be a LOS su addon anymore. If you need root, flash a root manager of your choice. No guaranteed support from LOS for this.

When updating from previous builds, simply dirty flash the ROM, together with any GApps and/or other modifications - addon.d will not work due to currently unavailable TWRP decryption.

Recommended GApps: MindTheGapps-12.1.0

KNOWN ISSUES

Stock camera is not working anymore due to incompatibility of stock library (libimageprocessorjni.so) with new libgui

You tell me...

SECURITY ADVICE

Don't flash ROMs or Magisk modules which set SELinux to permissive or you welcome malware on your device!

How to get root?

Thanks for your work. And can the kernel support f2fs filesystem？ Does the camera work if i use another gpu driver？
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] derf elot:
f2fs is enabled in the kernel ( https://github.com/whatawurst/andro...8998-yoshino-maple_dsds_defconfig#L4632-L4636 ), but that doesn't mean you can use it as is. You would have to adjust the fstab's. No that I would recommend it, seeing as f2fs hasn't really received a lot of updates/(security) fixes for 4.4 kernels in recent times.

And no, you cannot update the gpu drivers. The Sony stock camera blobs are quite dependent on a specific tag.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] avl.callistá:
is there any clues/guide on how to edit the fstab?

so we can use f2fs on data & cache
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] m00ns0rr0w:
is signature spoofing (for microg) enabled?

and as i already have installed the ArrowOS build of avl.callista which is based on your work: flash Stock ROM and then install your twrp+rom? or is stock rom step not necessary and it's enough to flash twrp+rom?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] derf elot:
no, spoofing is not enabled. I have made builds for 19 before with spoofing enabled, so it works. but rebuilding with spoofing enabled takes a while every time, since it includes changes in fw/b and that's a hefty compile.

as for flashing over another rom: it may or may not work. upgrading from los 18 should work by flashing rom together with 12.1 microg, but no idea about migrating from one rom to another.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] m00ns0rr0w:
hi,

thx for your answer. i was just curious, as the arrowos build is based on your work and has signature spoofing enabled. But if, as you write, that's a lot of work then ... no problem. the arrowos version is stable :)

And, without signature spoofing, the part with "howto best migrate from rom A to rom B" is obsolete ;) Self-building doesn't seem to be an option, as the hardware requirements seem a bit ... ambitious :giggle:
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] nanich87:

I did a few tests today and I couldn't find anything broken.

Very nice, THANK YOU for great rom, i am testing it rn, so far so good.

To save someone a troubles i encountered:

I am comming from rooted stock .107, please all do flash correct TWRP!!! , i was slopy but have experience in flashing so i just dirtyflashed it on old TWRP, phone hanged prior to accessing twrp, could not hardreset or annything haha and i had to pull my battery so please just in case FLASH CORRECT TWRP :)

I like it alot, am switching to daily
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] derf elot:
Great, yes it needs the twrp I uploaded because of vendor partition and change from fde to fbe.

But just for reference, pulling the battery should not be necessary if it gets stuck. it should be enough to press and hold vol up (or down, I forget because I haven't needed it in a while) + power. it'll vibrate once, but keep holding it until it vibrates twice in quick succession. that should power it off. you can then enter fastboot to flash twrp or flash mode to flash stock.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] stipi69:
I agree, but i have faulty vol+ key so i was having a hard part sadlly.

Can i ask you something i see this problem 1+ years on all Lineage roms and i am not a developer:

SETTINGS / DISPLAY / LIVE DISPLAY / COLOR PROFILE / VIVID

If i choose this profile i get like 8 bit colors after a while of use, but realy like this profile... i adjusted it manualy now its good looking and stable but wondering if it is XZ P specific or all lineage

short message: my SIM card isn't working with this ROM.

long message: today i installed this ROM. I first flashed stock ROM, booted into it once, and then flashed this ROM. But, as with the ArrowOS ROM, my SIM card isn't working.

More Details: after fresh install of this ROM and during boot i enter the SIM PIN (so that works), but after boot it says: "service not available" (Dienst nicht verfügbar). I'm unable to get it working.

Provider: congstar (telekom daughter). The SIM worked with stock ROM, and it works in an older Samsung S5. Just for curiosity i flashed stock ROM again and

Yeah, i know, no warranty, but... someone had such a problem before?

thx
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] m00ns0rr0w:
geee... getting crazy here... after the next (test) flash of this ROM the SIM suddenly works, as well as phone calls, SMS, ...

what's the difference to the first flash? after latest stock ROM flash i left the SIM inside, and the stock ROM (or the telekom software) did some settings, rebooted, and then i started the last flash. Is there something magic that is happening here?

if i had more hair all of it would be bright gray... 😄
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] m00ns0rr0w:
OK, after almost a week... no SIM card problems anymore. ROM is running stable.

Just some apps that somehow rely on Google Play Services (or microg maybe) don't run: apps that warn regarding severe weather conditions or catastrophes, like 'DWD Warnwetter', 'NINA KatWarn' etc.. Push notifications... :(
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] m00ns0rr0w:
ROM is stable, and i finally managed the signature spoofing + microg stuff. Thx to @Yokurt815 and his little list in the XZ1C thread - going step by step, writing it all down, finally succeeded.

Am i right that the magisk/lygisk stuff has to be done again after flashing an possibly upcoming ROM update? 🤔
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] shoey63:
