[Sony Xperia 10 III] combinedfleet:
According to its readme file, Newflasher runs on Linux too: https://github.com/munjeni/newflasher

So I think it should be possible to flash an Android 11-based firmware from here: https://xdaforums.com/t/stock-firmware-backups.4382229/ using this tool. But I never used it (neither on Windows nor on Linux) so I can't say for sure whether that works.

As for the issue with unlocking your bootloader, at the risk of stating the obvious, did you enable "OEM unlocking" in developer options?
[Sony Xperia 10 III] Piecer:
Ha! Yes I did do all the required steps. I found an Android 11-based build on the Sailfish forums which worked, after doing it twice with Newflasher. Once this was done the OEM unlock command did its thing without a hiccup. Sailfish OS is now running nicely on the 10 III - hopefully Jolla are able to provide some more complete instructions for those who have managed to upgrade themselves into a documentation loop!
[Sony Xperia 10 III] direc85:
I've been using the X10III with Sailfish for several days now, and the experience is quite smooth. There is no green tint visible, but the "color space" gets really smashed and mangled in low light + low brightness situations... I think it's more or less the same bug. The best way to describe is that the dark areas of the screen are rendered with 8-bit color palette and way too high brightness. I created a bug report for it over at Sailfish OS Forum for those who wish to keep an eye on that.

There are three known issues: Camera API doesn't support the three back cameras (Camera2 API does support it, so it's very fixable), the indicator led is way too green (driver issue), and issues with noise cancellation during phone calls (seems to be fixed in git).

Despite the above, SFOS on X10III a hugely net positive! VoLTE works now - finally - so spring 2023 can now arrive (killing 3G here in Finland). 5G support is not there (yet?), which is a tiny bit unfortunate.

I didn't realize that the AOSP firmware is so far away from Android firmware... I somehow assumed before that they were the same... Oh well, live and learn.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] ksuuk:
I have a hard time understanding why it is necessary to repair a thing that is not broken?

VoLTE calls? Why? Today, almost every phone subscription includes if not all free, then at least thousands of minutes of free calls. In addition, there are available all sorts of apps that you can use for voice calling.

And in general, calling is the least used feature of the phone lately.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] direc85:
What exactly are you referring to? 3G, the OS in the device, or something else..?

Why shouldn't I use what I already paid for? :)

But yes, phone calls are getting rarer; for me it's something between daily and weekly. But still, it's the official method to be reached, supported by pretty much every device, so why not just use it instead of apps.

Also, if I wanted to use only apps to talk with my friends, I'd have five chat apps installed, some of them analyzing me, and all of them draining my battery. No thanks...

But let's get back to topic. Does anyone know how to solve the color banding issue on AOSP?
[Sony Xperia 10 III] Aranornen:
Tell me, are there any battery charging settings in this OS? Android in Xperia 10 III has settings to limit charging to 80, 90% a very nice option.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] combinedfleet:
I can't say anything about features built into the OS (as I've never used it), but I was able to find two 3rd party apps which let you limit the maximum battery charge level:

Battery Buddy | OpenRepos.net — Community Repository System

openrepos.net

takimata / harbour-battery-charging-control · GitLab

SailfishOS application which allows to stop battery charging at user-defined levels.

[Sony Xperia 10 III] Chanhchua:
hi can you help me o i have an Xperia 5 phone running sailfish os same as your Xperia 10 mark 3 i cant buy license to run apk app you can extract aliendalvik file can you give it to me, i will keep it from sharing to anyone, because it is the source of life jolla , i will transfer you a small amount of money, i come to sailfish os full of passion but not enough money , hope you can help, thank you very much
[Sony Xperia 10 III] Jeff:
Like some of you in here, I am a Linux "geek" with a passion. This phone/os combo is by far the best that Jolla has to offer as of writing, fast - butter smooth and also the aliendalvik LXC has even been updated to an SDK/Security Level that is acceptably recent enough for compatibility and stability.

With daily driving for months, there are a few caveats that one needs to expect however:

As with most GSIs that you may use on the X10iii - there are things that work and sometimes do not

Most of the Communitiy has addressed many of the issues, but they are still present.

- Battery life is bad, the governor is set to a level to give us that butter-smooth feeling, so when we change it to a lower level we see small glitches in the GUI sometimes but the heat dissipation is much better : a win/win? Not sure, YRMV.

- The Modem drivers are OEM (possibly taken from Sony in the LENA img during flash) - sometimes you get calls and no sound or make a call and nothing, a real PITA but a restart = OK. I know in many GSI trebble needs to change Qualcomm parameters to counteract this problem... but VERY Annoying for a smartPHONE to not actually telephone WHEN you need it.

- AlienDalvik changed in the latest version of SFOS and does not seem "reachable" via the old way via LXC-Attach so we have less access to run shell commands as well as aliendalvik being a strange Swiss conception it seems almost closed-source.

- Android BT and SFOS BT are not compatible meaning that anything that you LOVED to have connected to your smartphone like watches, or anything other than a sound-sink/source are out-of-scope and will not work = no smartwatches except for SOME supported by Adam Piggz' software but is somewhat buggy since the APIs are much more limited than those of Droid.

===

In the end, it is really a decision to make for yourself, there are positives getting away from the Big Tech Dogs - but at the same time remembering that most of the development is done by volenteers/enthusiasts and NOT the R&D departments of huge corporations. There are going to be things that are irritating but doable because for a Linux phone it is VERY nice to know where your data goes and does.

Edit:

It is simply the lack of Bluetooth pass-through that is really perturbing. I mean that we all have Bluetooth devices other than simple Sinks/Sources that we would love to work - but BT5 and Blue-droid are not able to speak the same language?
[Sony Xperia 10 III] vjon:
Yes, you can limit charging to 80 or 90 % in the SailfishOS system settings (Settings → Battery).
[Sony Xperia 10 III] bluedesire:
how is it on the Device is it able to get 5G and to work with it, like online banking etc? Youtube? :) this were interessting for me.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] vjon:
5G works, even with VoLTE. VoWiFi does not. General usage (web browsing including YouTube, calls, SMS send/receive, e-mail) is OK when it works, but there are bugs. Sometimes SMS are received multiple times in quick succession, sometimes sound stops working during calls and you have to restart PulseAudio or the whole phone. If you import a lot of SMS, the messaging app takes a long time to open. There are perhaps a dozen bugs like these – no showstoppers, but they are obnoxious and haven't been fixed in a year, so I guess they never will be.

Online banking using an Android app works as long as the app doesn't use the new code verification options. I don't understand the details, but my bank rolled out a new app last year and I couldn't sign in on Sailfish, so I had to return to Android because of that. But if the app works on LineageOS or other alternative ROMs, it will most probably work on SailfishOS as well.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] bluedesire:
@vjon thanks for this reply, do you have a recommend Android for this device? Like custom Rom or Mod?

I need working GPS camera Bluetooth Audio and online banking thats All i need Phone function of course can you recommend Lineageos or something like that?
[Sony Xperia 10 III] vjon:
I use the official version. AFAIK you can't get full device attestation on anything else, so if your bank / authenticator / whatever app asks for that, alternative ROMs are not an option.

These all work on Sailfish. Camera works with the caveat that you either get front + 1x rear, or 0.6x + 1x + 2x rear cameras. You can choose by editing a config file. But you can't have a config where you'd be able to choose between the zoom and wide lenses as well as the front cam. This is because SailfishOS uses an older API to interface with the cameras, but the full list only works with a newer Camera2 API.

Bluetooth has limited functionality in the Android compatibility layer – audio works fine, but you can't use it for pairing or authentication from Android. I don't remember whether sharing files over Bluetooth worked from an Android app; I think it did, though.

Hi all

I am trying to upgrade my t-dash from windows6 to kavana..but i got problem said that files immages currupted error 270 and stuck at 3% and the phone turn off and back on . Can some one tell me what iam missing or doing something wrong ....appreciate for your help.
[HTC Excalibur] pfunkside:
You must Read the Sticky that says NEWCOMERS
[HTC Excalibur] cire6:
after you run the exe. just look at your mobile screen and you have to press the continue button. :rolleyes:
[HTC Excalibur] gixxum:
or you can just app unlock the phone per the instructions and have it actually work..

RTFM.
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
You the tutorial below that is titled upgrade from 6.0 to 6.1.... and that should help you out man... and as a beginner I recommend using Ricky's rom as it will be easier for you to navigate...
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
See i'd say different as more people have probs with the 3% issue with Kavana "due to the unlock process and not reading" i think Rickys and the navigation just is really additions oh and the links 4 everything under this text...
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Oh ok I see, well I think Rickys is really easy for beginners to use because of all the programs that it offers for the beginners and it seems to be more customizable to me... but that is just my own opinion...
[HTC Excalibur] gixxum:
just wait til i steal stylezrickynrg's rom... GIX v1.0

you will all be speechless. its probably going to change life as we know it. thats how good it is going to be.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Sorry jdog i was agreeing with you looked like you put Kavana earlier.... :)

Late night early mornings.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
ROFL.... :eek::D
[HTC Excalibur] gixxum:
see that..already jaws are dropping...my rom alone might just bring back the US economy. i dont wanna sound cocky or toot my own horn.....but its gonna make a few people cry and maybe even call me jesus...it might cure cancer too
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Dude.... I'm definitely subscribed to this thread.. I wanna be notified asap when it comes up... so I can steal it and release ver 1.4 of my ROM with your modifications.... err... wait... umm.... I wanna USE it and see how cool it is! Yeah.... :p :D :D :D
[HTC Excalibur] gixxum:
that was a pain like i have never felt before.

*mental note....remember to add stabNRG.cab in version 2 of the almighty holy rom in which you will feel both lucky and blessed to be in the presence of.

this my friends, might make you find god.

Lol haha lol
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Rakstrooper:
Hello everybody,

I'm new to the rom and kernel community and have an ageing pixel 2 device as a DD. After spending a lot of time looking for the perfect combo (rom+kernel) for my device I still am unable to zero in on the right combo for me. I know that Performance and battery are the aspects I look for the most while keeping the build as stock to google as possible without losing features and everything worked if not the same, better than before. I need help from the community to choose.

I have read about numerous builds like Pixel experience, Lineage, Proton aosp, and kernels like kirisakura, sultan, xenial (v5/v6), kazuki etc. I wanted to make the jump to the latest a12 or 13 build available but did not know which rom to go for while not compromising on battery and performance. People ask to stay on a11 and update kernel instead, for that I know it will be xenial kernel since it is apparently better than even the regularly updated sultan (also xenial isnt built for a12+ which sucks) citing it has the most number of commits or whatever. Is there anyone who faced this and chose a route that made sense? I was thinking of Pixel experience or LOS 19 or proton maintained by Enes and flashing sultan considering he updates regularly. If there is an a11 that is inherently better than any a12 rom out there please let me know so I can just flash that and also flash the inherently better xenial kernel along with it. Bonus if you think blackened mod or PK's tuning script makes a difference and is better than new kernel and new rom.

Thanks in advance.

The phone turn into ear mode instead of loud speaker when playing voice in whatsapp and calling. Turning screen to black. It's so annoying. I have posted this question on some fb group, many of them say is system problem, many of them also have this problem. Is that true? or anything else i can do with that?
[Realme GT 2 Pro] Killua96:
Hi, just bought the phone and I'd like to ask of there are any good cases, TPU or Rigid (TBH I prefer TPU), for this phone. On Amazon &co. I see the usual chinese cover, any brand you reccomend? I've also seen that Nillkin made a rigid cover, someone tried it perhaps?
[Realme GT 2 Pro] robert3892:
I prefer neoprene or elastic soft myself.

I'm still waiting for a silicone case I ordered from Aliexpress, that's the only place were I found variety. But since it hasn't arrived yet I can't tell you any experiences.

For now, I'm using the one that came with the phone when I leave the house, I really like it tbh, but I use it without case on my house. The back design is just so pretty.

[G1 Android Development] momentarylapseofreason:
Just wondering what would me necessary to run it as a wallpaper?
[G1 Android Development] haitiankid4lyf:
What I would do is convert it, u might be able to use mspaint

For mspaint just open file and SaveAs .jpeg

And you probably can use media-convert.com or mediaconvert.net those are the right urls but just google 'media convert' and it should be one of the first two.

using that site you should be able to convert ur image from your phone
[G1 Android Development] momentarylapseofreason:
Woosh.....right over your head....

Don't want to covert...the idea is to have an animated wallpaper
[G1 Android Development] PROBEX:
I have also wondered about this question as themes could be much more highly animated if the device supported .apng For those of you who don't know .apng stands for "Animated PNG" files similar to the function of .gifs but... they are about 10X the quality [esp for transparency] , 1 major drawback tho is the size of the file, still would be awesome to have animated program icons and such eh... or a little dude with a animated talk bubble for waiting voicemail, and things like that. I could really do some wicked stuff if this was possible. Alas I'm just a graphics dude.... I have no knowleage of code or implimentation of things of this nature.... :'( For a code dude first place to look for information would be one of the major browsers that support this and see how or what files or dlls or whatever were added to impliment.
[G1 Android Development] Phromik:
Yeah, I've had this idea myself, but I have no idea if it's even possible... Not without major coding to the source. I've never been good at coding, so I'm not sure. I hope someone could do this.
[G1 Android Development] d00m:
Since the browser doesn't even supposed animated gifs it would take some work. Also the battery drain would be pretty bad.
[G1 Android Development] momentarylapseofreason:
The upcoming update(s) will allow for that though.... Straight from the development board:

New features

Updated WebKit browser core, synced with Nov 2008 WebKit version.

Support for new, optimized JavaScript engine (SquirrelFish).

Copy / paste is enabled in the browser. To copy with touch, press and hold the shift key and select the text. Releasing the shift key or ending the touch drag copies the text. To copy with the trackball, press and hold the shift key, move the cursor to the selection start, click the trackball, and move the trackball to the extend the selection. Releasing the shift key, or clicking the trackball a second time, copies the text.

Find is enabled in the browser. To find text, choose it from the menu and type the text to find.

Drawing has been sped up substantially by supporting partial content invalidates and partial screen invalidates. Pages with animations are 5x faster.
[G1 Android Development] Meltus:
what about flash wallpapers when flash is released? or ever flash themes?

on my old LG Viewty (seriously the worst phone ever) people found out you could make whole themes in flash.

because you could pretty much do whatever the **** you wanted, some of the themes got absolutly amazing.

just wondering if something similar could be implimented for the G1? obviously when (and if :P) flash gets released.
[G1 Android Development] knoxbrder:
I'm not sure the updates imply GIF animations does it?

It sounded like it was talking about applications could redraw quicker by damaging only certain areas for redraws instead of damaging the whole screen. While this probably does mean GIF animations in the browser will be faster, I don't think it implies the homepage background will animate. Just that if it had "some" way to animate it would be faster than todays driver would support.

But I'm just speculating and have no clue :-)

I wonder if an easy way to get SIMPLE changes would be to have a background program just change the desktop picture every few/seconds or minutes? Like KDE and GNOME have a way for background apps like a globe that change the desktop background every few minutes.
[G1 Android Development] Shagman68:
I just want to see ani gif support so i can see what I'm missing in all my friends MMS messages. As it is, I see the first pix of the ani and nothing else so their MMS does not have the same effect. I have to save to SD Card, copy to my PC, then open the gif to see what is so funny. I'm hoping the mythical cupcake update fixes that, plus so many other bugs in the phone.

[OnePlus 9RT] andretiton:
Hello guys,

I intend to use the OP 9RT in Brazil buying from here:

https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/1005003395769541.html?spm=a2g0o.placeorder.0.0.3e906f4e7pHARF&mp=1&gatewayAdapt=glo2bra

I would like to know if this "global ROM" version will come with ColorOS or OxygenOS? If it comes with ColorOS, is there a way to switch to OxygenOS by official means? No root in the case? Will all functions work? Including 4g/5g?
[OnePlus 9RT] dekimori:
Hey. It's possible to switch from color to oxygen and back as many times as u wish. Basic computer knowledge just required. Therefore this shipper will do it for you, as it said on page.

Btw. i'd recommend you to take 9pro or 9r or 9 (clean) instead of RT. 9rt has(global) oxygen 11 right now, while oxygen 13 dev anounced for 10pro. They just started closed beta 12 for 9rt. More than that, i found oppo's color os better designed. Battery life also not that much fancy. I am a bit disappointed with oneplus. I wish i took pixel instead.
[OnePlus 9RT] andretiton:
Hey dekimori, tks for reply.

You mean then that the global version ROM already comes with Oxygen, is that it? So coloros is only in Chinese ROM? In this case I couldn't understand why you recommend me not getting the 9RT? Could you try to explain better?
[OnePlus 9RT] dekimori:
Yes, India version (global) comes with Oxy 11 - model m110, and Chinese one m111 with ColorOs. There are most likely a chinese version which shipper himself change to Oxy.

I not recomend you 9rt becouse of the slowest update in all 9, Nord, and even 8 series. While everybody already on Android 12, 9rt is still Android 11. Also for thirsty battery consumption.
[OnePlus 9RT] andretiton:
Tks, I understod now. The problem is that the 10 series is 50% more expensive, out of my budget :(
[OnePlus 9RT] andretiton:
Guys, apart from the problem mentioned by our colleague @dekimori , is there anything else for which you guys don't recommend the OP 9rt?
[OnePlus 9RT] penguinus:
I would recommend 9RT for the best modem. It really has the strongest WiFi and mobile network connectivity over other OP9 models, even 9Pro. Please note a topic about 5g in USA. Looks like there are issues with indian OOS firmware in connecting US 5g. 5g uses different bands in different countries, so model for one market may work not as perfect as expected in country out of this market.

Personally I use it in country where 5g is not started yet. With 3g/4g it works perfect. I'm comparing with OP5, and it is notable better!
[Realme GT 2] Wasim_Bu:
As I have the paperwhite color the back of the phone is attracting dirt, and it scratches easily. So I need to cover the back with a lightweight case or skin.
[Realme GT 2] slytherin_eeper:
For a lightweight case you can search on Amazon there are so many options, look at the review and buy it. For skins you can go for Exacoat or Gadgetshieldz they have good quality phone skins for GT 2!
[Realme GT 2] Wasim_Bu:
I saw some cases on amazon but here the sellers are not good. I'll try the skins you mentioned.
[Realme GT 2] slytherin_eeper:
Then you can go for the skins you asked for, they are really good, and post some images after getting the skins!
[Realme GT 2] Wasim_Bu:
I went with Gadgetshieldz Camo black mobile skin because Exacoat is too expensive. This one looks fantastic and got it delivered in just 4 days! It covers all over the edges and now the back of the phone will not get dust and scratches. Check out the image,

View attachment 5623347
[Realme GT 2] slytherin_eeper:
Yes, exacoat is expensive and this one you customized looks so good, the skins are good quality too. I was using it on my old phone and now after my case gets dirty I'll also get the skins for my GT 2.
[Realme GT 2] Wasim_Bu:
Thanks, I had the help of my friend to put this on perfectly.
[Realme GT 2] DoctorJim2019:
Search for the Ironman hard case.
[Realme GT 2] Wasim_Bu:
Is it a lightweight case? Also, it is available only for Oneplus phones!
