[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Trip_180:
Hi everyone, I have a big problem with the custom roms on PDX206 (tested Pixel OS and Lineage): the audio cannot be heard, the phone is silent. I bought it used and the previous owner reports that during assistance they changed the motherboard and speaker. This is why I attribute the problem to this hardware change. My question is: why does it work well with the stock rom and not with the custom ones? with the stock one I hear a brief crackle when the phone starts up during boot and then the audio is perfect. some guys on xda were saying that sony has some sort of speaker configuration at boot and it depends on this. what can I do to resolve it? I love the Xperia 5 II and wouldn't want to stick with the stock A12. Thank you all!

EDIT: the microphone doesn't even work in a voice recording. On calls it works sometimes, not aver. I saw that for the moto g6 plus there were certain problems and it was necessary to add xml files to vendot/etc. Could someone make me understand why everything is ok on stock roms and not on custom ones? I have tried several times to go back to the original firmware and try again but the outcome is the same. when the phone is (in theory) playing, even if silent, the slider lags.

I just unlocked my A002SO softbank variant with S1 unlock tool. Flashed AU (kddi SOG02) firmware and flashed PixelOS. It works flawlessly and i see no issues. Thankyou so much for your amazing work looking forward to staying with this rom

How is the network reception? 4g/5g working well? I am thinking of installing A14 as well...
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
i dont have 5g availible in my country but 4g seems okay same as it was on stock sog02 firmware. Idk abt VoLTE. seems to be broken
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
just pointing this out. one issue that i do have tho. the rgb notification led acts weirdly. as if the intervals that it should be on and off are reversed. this happens when the battery is low as well as when a notification is received. its quite annoying and distractive

Hi guys, does anyone knows how to make camera button works?

Mine doesn't launch photo pro apps.

Thanks guys.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Trip_180:
thanks for the work. Would it be possible in future releases to have "root debugging" in the developer options? or could someone explain to me how to do it? I understand that I should change a value in default.prop in boot.img but it is too complex for my current skills
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] BerBery4:
Привет. Приложение button mapper. Я пользуюсь им

I think bbn has fixed this issue, I'll give you a build would you be able to check if audio works for you?
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] lovechii:
Installed in my secondary phone and works super nice and fluid. I really like it.

The unique "big" problem is the fact that the camera button cannot be used to open the camera or I did not find it.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 剑落千秋:
Excuse me, after installing the magisk module for changing fonts, the system can start normally, but it cannot be used at all (the launcher stops running). Is this a new feature of Android 14? Or is there another reason?
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 剑落千秋:
As what I said above, the same problem happened when I use lawnchair (android 14 debug) as my default desktop software by quick switch.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] iShallSmite:
Hi there! I am so glad to have a ROM for this phone that I've owned since it's release. Gutted about the 2 year software updates though, I should've done a lot more research into it before purchasing tbh.

I've installed this ROM, it's very nice however a few issues I have noted so far:

1) No Camera App installed automatically.

2) The Recorder app doesn't detect sound even with permissions.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 剑落千秋:
I am also happy to use this ROM. For the two questions you raised, I have a solution and I am willing to provide it to you if you are willing to try it.

1. This ROM comes with two Sony camera software. If you want to use third-party camera software, I suggest you use Google Camera. The specific method can be searched online. If you need it, I can provide you with relevant tutorials, but they are in Chinese, because I am Chinese.

2. Regarding the issue of the recorder not being able to be used, I have encountered it before when using another phone to flash in a native ROM. Generally, you only need to set "always use device microphone" in the recorder settings to solve the problem. This also applies to this ROM, which is a very simple operation.

I obtained the above content using translation software and hope you can understand.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] biman__17:
Thanks for the rom....!

On a side note... Couldn't make any nfc payments with google wallet. Anyone else having the same issue? I think NFC in general isn't responding to anything.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Trip_180:
Hi, sorry for the late reply. with the bbn fix the audio works perfectly. The rom is great and works great as my primary phone. I would just like the camera button to open the camera but those are details. I'm really satisfied with the audio correction. It would be nice if it were already integrated into future updates
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 剑落千秋:
Good rom, below I will summarize some issues that I hope can help (1222 version).

There is nothing wrong with the following two points.

1, about the problem of screen flicker under low brightness, this is because the smooth screen is turned on by default in the setting (that is, automatic refresh rate), and the fixed refresh rate OLED screen will have color difference when switching refresh rate, so it looks like blinking, which is normal, you only need to turn off the function and turn on the forced use of peak refresh rate can be, the actual test of the two power consumption is similar. Note that this is not due to the auto brightness, I think the auto brightness works very well and sensitive, there is no need to fix it.

2, signal problem, my machine is the Japanese version of the single card (g02) to crack the dual card dual standby, in China, 5g signal is very stable, there will be no back and forth switching problem, so I think this is not a rom problem. WiFicall works, but I didn't test to see if it actually works, as WiFicall doesn't seem to be supported by our local carrier.

The following is my problem.

3, I met some problems. When I tried using quickswitch to switch the default desktop to lawnchair (supported by Android 14), the system automatically restarted when it couldn't get to the desktop. When I used the magisk module to change the default font, the system started but most of the software, such as the desktop, remained in a flash state and did not work properly, and these problems do not seem to occur on other Android 14ROMs. If this is an Android 14 feature, please let me know.

Looking forward to the next update. Happy New Year, by the way.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ch-ace00:
when can i look forward to the aforementioned "bbn fix" being included in a public build? i'm in the same boat as trip_180 with regards to audio not working
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] hellomot0:
Hi! Where can I find boot.img for Magisk?

Finally, I exctracted it with Payload Dumper from payload.bin :)

I've installed this ROM on my AS52 Xperia, seems works fine, but now I see AS72 model in About Phone section - does it mean my phone has now Bands from AS72 model? Or AS72 and AS52 have the same bands? :unsure:
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] grisu59964:
I have create a build for myself containing the audio fix. Please feel free to try it yourself.

On first try, everything seems to work now, but it might as well kill your hamster.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] hellomot0:
I faced the issue of modem crash - sometimes the "no signal" icon appears and then phone reboots. Seems this bug finally fixed in current LineageOS build and I hope this will be also fixed in next PixelOS buid :)

Awesome! It would be even better if the camera key could launch the camera(⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)

太棒了！如果相机键能快速启动相机就更好了
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] lovechii:
Yes, I think the worst point of this rom is the fact that the camera button is useless outside the application, sadly.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] BerBery4:

Can I flash in Sony's official baseband? Because the baseband you provided did not perform very well in our country.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
baseband?... you mean modem? that is not being touched when flashing i think so since if you unpack payload.bin modem isnt present there. so its depending on what fw's modem u use
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] majorwedgy:
Just wondering when/if there are any more updates due for this? Find the latest version has bugs where the previous version was perfect. Just wondering before I downgrade
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] majorwedgy:

[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Joksa120:
I installed this Rom yesterday and it is amazing. But I noticed one thing that is anoying, not so much right now but in summer it will be. There is no option in settings to boost brightness while using Auto brightness feature. That would be nice if you add. Anyway thanks for your amazing work!
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
you can use key mapper app to do that 👍🏻 I don't have to do that luckily as I'm on the latest build of evolution X Rom that has it built in and all the pixel goodies too. shame Dev just discontinued it to work on a new rom. maybe you can take a look at the source code and take it from there ..

I know he's also looking for a solution for that as the new rom he picked doesn't have that function hope that helps cheers
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] petargreat:
thx for the suggestion it looks like i will go back to LOS i used to it, pixel os flavor is noting what drives me... ;)
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
I like LOS used it when cyanogenMod was no more , not a huge fan of pixel OS but I have to say I like evolution X on my Sony been rock solid so far plenty of customizations built in and just the right amount of pixel os features plus kernelSU and all the physical buttons work with no need of extra apps would be nice to see someone picking it back up and keep it going 👍🏻
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] mhys33:
Great Rom!

Been using it for a few days now, love it so far.

Few issues I noticed:

There is a weird screen flicker at low brightness, idk if other users have reported something similar.

Also does this ROM have any customization? Like for eg. I didn't find the option to change the battery icon to a circle in notifications, etc. Also does this ROM have the xperi parts features? Or I'm just unable to find it?

Do let me know. Great work, keep it up OP!
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] majorwedgy:
wold get the evolution rom if you like this one - the flicker issue i believe is caused byt he 120hz implementation, I ge thte same on evolution unless i disable that feature.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Tearslayer:
To eliminate the low light green tint flickering while using 120 Hz enable "force peak refresh rate" in dev options.

If i install any Custom rom will the green lines come?
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
green lines on xperia and many other phones were caused by a batch of Samsung displays that had defects. They are a hardware issue and not linked to software

They happen randomly

You should be careful and make sure your phone isnt dropped or left in the heat.

Good luck!

[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] abdulrahmanna:
I've a doubt. If I unlock my A002SO by changing Bootloader unlock allowed status from "No" to "Yes" using qUnlocktool, I'll permanently get the ability to handle bootloader unlocking? i.e. I can relock the bootloader and unlock it normally without paying again?
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
no idea. I used pixelos on my a002so (had to install sog02 firmware first) as my first rom before switching to my own builds of evolutionX then voltage os.. etc. etc..

i have found roms to be way better than stock firmware we have. Everything is almost ported. anything left out includes dynamic vibration. Everything else works.

i havent ever thought of going back to stock. Although the page does say of it changing the status permanently. i wont relock my device unless i give it away or something
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] abdulrahmanna:
That makes sense. Though, I'm getting this curiosity bcoz I've been using some banking apps and I've no backup phone too.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
depends if your baking apps work with basic integrity. Most apps pass root detection forcme
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] hellomot0:
Have the same issue. And the Netmonster app shows only a single band

ad1tyas1ngh

Any way to fix it?

I've installed latest LineageOS and it seems carrier aggregation works - the LTE+ icon appears.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] qoro:
What's wrong with magisk or rooting? Gpay wasn't working for me on the previous version and I had to root just to pass play integrity. Getting into the world of custom roms is just as risky, so might as well explore all the way to gain experience.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] qoro:
Dolby stuff and DSEE hasn't been ported and the audio through Bluetooth isn't as good as the stock ROM's, but I've gotten used to it.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
dsee is impossible to port ehe.. atleast up till now. it has been tried alot. And considering the ammount of patches and stuff dolby require like i pick various commits just to get it to work could be kinda tiring for official. i get why didnt do it up till now. They might consider in the future. But it does introduce its own class of issues.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] charlie91:
This is fantastic! So nice to have the latest android and all the features. Only downside is that Bluetooth is now super weak for some reason, I can't use headphones out of the house without constant cutouts now - don't know why this would be the case or if there's anyway to increase this stability? Otherwise it's perfect
[Redmi Note 12 4G] karski88PL:
Hi. I have Redmi Note 12 4G TOPAZ (with NFC) and I already unlock the root and dev options with USB debug. I think I did all the precautions. Now I want to install crDroid ot AlphaDroid, but I don't understand instructions on any website I find. I got the files, but those are .zip. When I unzip them, there are some 4 files and folder, nothing like .img file which is mentioned in every instruction.

Can someone PLEASE let me know exactly STEP BY STEP how can I install one of those? I prefer the PC method with CMD commands and "platform-tools" tools. How should I start, where I should copy-paste the new choosen custom rom, what should I do with the CMD commands? Sadly instructions all over the internet and YT are not detailed enough, or I am some kind of dummy...

[Redmi Note 12 4G] karski88PL:
Man, I really appreciate your replies, but this does not help. I'm sitting on this issue whole day and at this point I'm frustrated, tired and disapointed. None of the YT video nor webstie show EXACT instrucion STEP BY STEP how to go thru installation process. Google Play won't let me download TWRP as my Android 14 is too new. Official webstie twrp.me shows version 3.7.0 which does not support my phone. Same with OF, no support for Redmi Note 12 4G Topaz. I found some unofficial, but with not even a bit of instruction how to properlly install it on my phone..

All the files I found on the internet are kind of unknown to me, I mean what should I do with .img or .bin files? Why there is no user friendly PC app that have simple user interface and let user go thru the process?

With all those keywords like TWRP, OF, fastloader, bootloader, fastboot, abd, recovery, Magisk (??) and more and more I'm absolutely lost and exhausted. I know I can do that, I can install my chosen custom rom, but all I need is simply step-by-step instruction, I mean real step by step, not just a few fords inbetween which there are some things and steps to do, but those are too simple for pros so they don't describe them.
[Redmi Note 12 4G] NOSS8:
I understand but before embarking on the adventure some notions are necessary to understand the basics, do some research on XDA and Google and avoid Youtube.

Have you unlocked the bootloader?

You are right, it's Android 13. My mistake. However, I have created Xiaomi account long time ago, today I have unlocked it with MI Unlock Tool so I assume my device is rooted/unlocked. I also did a lot of research, trust me, but there are plenty websites which describe the process in different ways and different naming of particular apps/processes/actions and that's why I'm lost.

Currently I need to unserstand how wipe my ROM with MIUI 14 (hate that thing!) and install new custom ROM. I'm stucked.
