Can you remove network subset 5 as you can see in attachment
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
i unfortunately do not know. Maybe s1 unlock tool would help. you might need to pay for it
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] yasinkhan1438:
I already used s1 tool it's just unlocked bootloader any who can unlock subset network than may be 5g will be fully unlocked with jio true 5g
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
im sorry i do not know
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] yasinkhan1438:
can you do some research for this
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
i'll see
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] JustinCretible:
Why are you asking the ROM developer to do research for you? They already linked you some tutorials – go spend some time and figure it out by yourself.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] yasinkhan1438:
i found nothing thats why i asked to do
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] NoClue1:
To remove/unlock the Network Subset. It might be works with the s1 unlock tool too. When you take a look at canadaunlocking.com you can select the first position on the list "All Carriers Sony Network Unlock + Hardlocked". That might be unlock that Network Subset thing. But it is not for free.

Edit: I guess this is the wrong thread to ask questions about unlocking your phone.

Will the vibration be fixed in the next build?
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
yes. alot of changes coming
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] JustinCretible:
I'm looking forward to the latest version! Thank you for sharing it with us.

Will we need to reflash, or can we upgrade using the Elixir Updater in the system menu once it's available?
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
idk it should 🤷 but do try and tell me
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
well google did large changes. You might require a clean flash if you encounter a boot loop
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Lord98:
I just used it for a week and everything works really nice, I find it prettier than Evo X, I do only wish some of its extra features. But I noticed only 3 things missing during my use

Custom lockscreen clocks are missing

Precise and approximate location is missing

Camera button does not open camera

Beside that I really love the rom, thank you for it
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
custom lockscreen clocks are exclusive

the a14 clocks are there

wdym i have seen it? approximate location indeed exists. Or well it will in v4.2

lots of changes coming. You'll surely love it even more
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Binsss:
does this work with A002SO?
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
yes. i infact own a A002SO myself. Just flash SOG02 firmware on it (because its the only android 12 fw that works with connectivity working with it) before flashing this rom
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Binsss:
noted thanks
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 剑落千秋:
Due to some issues with the apatch, I had to go back to magisk in order to use some software properly, so I refreshed this rom from the EVO X about a month ago, and I have to say that this rom is very well made, it seems to be better than the EVO X in terms of performance and battery life. And lawnchair is used as the desktop by default without any other user operations, but now I have some problems when updating to 4.2, updating in the system will get an infinite boot loop until you manually switch to the original slot, and updating in recovery will prompt an error: This is not the xqas72 but the pdx206, but actually this is the same device, hope to get your advice, thank you.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
please read the change logs. clean flash is mandatory no matter what
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 剑落千秋:
Thanks and I just have notice the title.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 剑落千秋:
I'm sorry to bother you again, but I still received the same error message after clean flash. It seems to remind me that this is a rom for xq-as72, except for pxd206.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
please have a look at the changelogs and wiki. we have switched to twrp recovery
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 剑落千秋:
I'm very sorry, I think I misunderstood your meaning. I think the content in the changelog only changes after flashing, so what I need to do now is to download the recovery partition (twrp) of LOS and flash it in, and then use it to refresh the ROM?
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
according to the guides you should download twrp from the provided pling link. Then flash it. Then use the format data option under wipe button

after typing yes you can flash rom by adb sideload (advanced > adb sideload > swipe to start) Or by using an micro SD (copy rom to sdcard first)
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 剑落千秋:
I'm very sorry, but due to the recovery date not being updated in pling, I mistakenly thought it was not updated with ROM, which caused you trouble. Thank you for your patient reply. I apologize again.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Binsss:
any links on how to flash or recover? tried using newflasher and it was set to slot b after flashing now it's in bootloop/corrupted.

I'm unable to repair the phone using xperia companion it says battery low and here I am stucked looking for answer
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Binsss:
fixed thanks
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
newflasher.exe set_active=a
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] JustinCretible:
Apologies for the stupid question – I'm still quite new to custom ROMs. Will a clean flash essentially bring my phone back to factory default settings?

What's the best way to update the ROM while keeping all my apps, settings, etc? I use my phone for work so it's important to keep everything the same.

Thanks in advance, and once again thanks for your efforts to maintain this ROM.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
its mostly okay to dirty flash until specifically mentioned. Blame google for such large changes that it wont boot without dirty flashing sometimes.

For normal small security patches use the updater or flash the zip and then reboot. dont wipe anything
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] JustinCretible:
Hey, I'm trying to download the latest version 4.2 from the Pling link and it's giving me an error "File Not Found". Is the link dead for everyone else, or just me?

https://private.projectelixiros.com...ir_4.2_pdx206-14.0-20240414-0220-OFFICIAL.zip – This is the link I've been trying to download it from. No luck on my end.

For some reason Lsposed seems to crash on this rom, does anyone know why ?

I tried on two phones, one of them being freshly reset
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
google broke everything with march patch. you'll see it broken on all march patch and above roms. You need to use a modded lsposed version being distributed in telegram i dont have at the moment
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Jbrimb:
Okay, good to know. Thank you, now I know what to search for
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
The download link for pdx206 should be back up. Its a slightly newer build with rebased powerhint. And a flag was dropped from fstab so you might require clean flash flashing it. Take backups before flashing
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] JustinCretible:
@Captain_cookie_200 How did you get Magisk to work after updating to Project Elixir v4.2? Previous I was able to sideload Magisk-v27.0.zip with the old Elixir recovery. With the TWRP recovery, it's giving me an error.

Edit: Nevermind I figured it out. In case anyone else is wondering, here's how I got Magisk working.

Download the latest version of Payload Dumper Go to extract the payload.bin file

Open the project elixir .zip folder (the large ~1.7GB file) and move payload.bin and payload-dumper-go.exe (downloaded in step 1) to the same folder.

Open command prompt, CD to the folder with those two files. Run the command "payload-dumper-go.exe payload.bin".

That will give you a bunch of files, including boot.img. Now, follow the steps listed in the Magisk Installation Guide and patch the boot.img file.

Use the command fastboot flash boot magisk_patched_xxxxx.img to flash the patched magisk file to boot.

Reboot the phone using the command fastboot reboot

Voila, you should have a patched Magisk if you followed these steps correctly.

btw i use apatch :)
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Lord98:
I just updated to 4.2 and some missing features of 4.1 are back but sadly maybe it was fault on my end, but I feel there are some little downgrades

System sounds while pressing. typing on gboard, dial up, sound like a cheap Android 5 phone

Gboard is unable to send Emoji stickers anywhere, unsupported media is says

Addition of Pixel Laucher is not for my taste as you cannot remove At Glance ( I download Lawnmover again)

Some games are not able to access storage permission at all (PUBG, COD)

Sound panel was better in 4.1 as if you misspress on a slider it takes you to settings and also takes over whole screen

Clear all notifications is missing also

No QS Panel banner images

Edit: Maybe I did do wrong because after installing TWRP and sideloading 4.2 . Project Elixir recovery is somehow back again

Edit 2: reinstalled everything again and redownloaded recovery and rom, still have same problems
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
1. You are missing features because of google QPR updates where google does large changes to the android code

Roms overlay their changes on top of google's code. hence to upgrade to March patch they had to do a complete start from scratch. Now if they were to implement every feature it would take months etc. Inorder to push out fast updates and stable updates for yall some features are often dropped like this. Same behaviour is expected for QPR3.

2. Pixel luancher/Lawnchair is dependant on the maintainer. I personally switched back to pixel as lawnchair has crashing issues with splti screen etc. It was very annoying and very critical to me hence i had to switch back. You can always use quickswitch and lawnchair modules to go back.

3. The game permission issue is very interesting because no one has ever reported this before. I myself daily drive Project Elixir and i havent faced such an issue in any game. Maybe your not giving proper perms to whatever game you are playing? More elaboration would be nice on this subject

4. Yeah because of QPR updates from google ig they had to drop it. It might be back sometime later. Nothing too critical because you only adjust your volume once in a while.

5. all of the other features you reported missing comes into the same category as google being dum dum and making us suffer

Hopefully that clears your doubts

v4.3 is to introduce alot of settings back so stay tuned for the update.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Lord98:
That sucks for google, I at first tought that elixir team would on purpose go their way and put A5 sound to A14.

I did not really do much for storage permission,. All I know was that PUBG when opened for first time would ask you storage permission and download files. I reinstalled that game 3 times and cleared data and also before opening PUBG for first time give it all permissions from settings and then open it, still same problem. I checked permission in settings, and also All Permissions in top right, it was missing storage and there was not even option to myself allow it anyhow. So I gave up and went back to 4.1, I downloaded, opened it the same way, all worked normally.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
thats really weird and doesnt make sense.. maybe v4.3 would resolve this for you again

btw yeah the sounds are on purpose by elixir team :)

Hello, a family member closed a mobile phone store and gave me a fully functional Zfold 3 (LDU) except that it has an IMEI of 0, so I can't make calls. Is there any method today to change the IMEI to make it work? Could I use the IMEI from a Xiaomi phone that I have at home and don't use? Thank you very much in advance.

Hello everyone, I am a new person on the forum, but I sincerely hope for qualified help.

I recently purchased a Junsun V1 Plus 6+128 car radio and it worked just fine until I decided to install one application. This application offered to enable encryption during installation, I did not think about what it might be and agreed.

Now, every time I turn on the radio, I need to watch the boot image and then be sure to enter the PIN code, only after that the device turns on. In the menu, I did not find the "security" section from which these functions are usually controlled, such as disabling encryption.

Help me where to look, I've already read all the sources, but I haven't found an answer anywhere.

Thank you all in advance.
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
Hello, all apps must be installed on root disk (probably invisible to user) , find and delete, or maybe it is best to go to car settings then apps menu and then find this app you installed and uninstall it. Then restart unit and see if everything got back.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannah Thudz:
Has anyone an idea why if I changed emojis through magisk module they only work on system Ul elements like status bar? In the rest of apps, stock emojis are shown. I tried disabling all modules but emoji one and it still not working.

Thank You!
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
It´s been a month since I "upgraded" from Diamond to the X1

Overall I am very pleased with the X1, BUT:

1.- I miss the smooth (flat) screen edges!! Corners are difficult to reach with my thumbs in the X1 because the screen is depressed from the chassis. The diamond's screen was flat with the chassis, thus making it very easy to press/touch icons in the corners

2.- The VOLUME keys should be located at the left, not the right (IMHO)

3.- I miss the circular touch control from the diamond: it let me zoom/pan very fast in excel and opera (circular finger movement around the central button). At least a "jog dial (p800-esque?) would have been nice...

4.- It's easy to press the "panel" button (wrongly) to answer a phone call !!

5.- Having a hardware "back" button was a plus in the diamond

6.- The "power" button is too hidden.

7.- The mini-USB connector is located at the natural left finger position. It should be ergonomically positioned down the phone ??

8.- Regarding the HW keyboard, I miss a couple of extra keys from the TyTN (dedicated CTRL key, windows context menu key, those two "softkeys" up there... etc) and I find the first row of keys too close to the phone body, making it difficult to type in the upper row

9.- Sony's standard panel is cool but dull, TouchFlo 3D was VERY USEFUL and practical... I got so used to doing everything with my THUMBS instead of the stylus...

Anybody else has noticed/missed these hardware/design issues ??

I know this is Sony's FIRST WM PDA phone

Hope any Sony engineer is reading this post :D
[XPERIA X1 General] skycamefalling:
ad 1. We discussed this topic before. A few users are with you opinion and a few users (including me) like the recessed screen because it protects the screen from scratches and I haven't got any problems with pressing anything until now.

ad 2. I never had a phone with the volume keys on the left. I think they are okay where they are. Good to reach, either you hold the phone in the left or the right hand.

ad 3. I don't know the circular touch, but it sounds interesting.

ad 4. What thumbs do you have? :eek:

ad 5. The touch button is okay for me. If not, you have the two buttons below the screens to configurate.

ad 6. The power button is perfect, because it wakes up the phone and therefore it has to be hidden. It shall not be pressed unintentional while the phone is in my pocket.

ad 7. Then the phone could not be charged while it is in a carholder. Most carholders are closed on the bottom so I'm very happy with the layout while navigating with the X1.

ad 8. A bigger keyboard would make the writing easier but the phone bigger. It's a good compromise in my opinion. I got used to the keyboard and now writing's very fast.

ad 9. That's a matter of taste, really! Let me quote myself:

Sorry to say that, but I like these "issues" and, as you can see, I have my reasons. But each user has its own pros and cons so the "perfect" phone is not going to happen :D
[XPERIA X1 General] rosebud:
I too moved from a diamond to an x1 nearly a month ago, overall I think i prefer the X1.

my previous windows mobiles all had some kind of hardware keyboard, be that a full qwerty or dialpad,

(SPV c500, C550, C600, HTC wizard, HTC TYTN)

I really struggled at first without the keyboard,

I then got really annoyed with how dirty the diamond touch screen got from typing,

it also got VERY scratched because of the flat touchscreen, which i never experienced with previous phones,

yes the X1 has its little quirks, but I got to say its either equal to or better than any HTC device i know of, even htc never get it 100% right...

cheers

Steve
[XPERIA X1 General] cursor:
I've also got no problems with the recesed screen, actually I prefer it like that, gives a "little" more protection.

That's a matter of taste, anyways, they must be where the camera is, as they allo to zoom (on lower mpix. resolutions)

Actually I don't like those "touch" controls that the newer htc's got...

I've never pressed the panel button when answering...

useless...

better... sucks turning on accidentally your phone...

that's actually better for me...

yup, ctrl key would be great, but the other ones I don't need them, actually the upper part is in a nice position so is easy to combine keyb+screen

Panels sux (actually) just like touchflo.

I've used touchflo in other devices and always end disabling it.

anyways, at least with panels we have a nice facebook one... let's hope more come soon.
[XPERIA X1 General] nurps:
10: I always cover the loudspeaker with my fingers while holding the X1. Would have been better position on the back- or downside of the device. But maybe i could just drill a hole.... :)

Ah and

11: First touch resonse works on the Diamond, the X1 just brigthens the screenlight and you have to click again.
[XPERIA X1 General] Loco5150:
1. The screen design on the X1 is better, its too exposed on the Diamond.

2. Not true.

3. I like the joystic on the X1 better than the "wheel"

4. I have mapped my program launcher to the panel button + I dont have fat fingers

5. Not in my opinion, I found it rather useless. HW softkeys are much more usefull

6. No way, its better than in Diamond

7. USB connector is located in little bit weird place, but use your phone on landscape while connected, how does it sit now?

8. What you mean TyTN had CTRL, you mean you had Touch Pro not Diamond or TyTN? CTRL missing from the keyboard is disadvantage. Coming from TP I found the upper row to be close to screen at first, but now I do not experience this problem anymore, probably got used to it

9. I dont even have panels installed, or even TF3D

As you see most of these are just opinions...

One thing you did not mention is the magnetic stylus holder in the Diamond and Touch Pro... But you also did not write any of the pro's that X1 has over those devices...

I had Diamond and Touch Pro and I do prefer X1 over them... Only big thing we are missing is a stable and tweaked rom... Dutty's comingggggggggggggggggggg.....
[XPERIA X1 General] Pyrojester:
What people seem to be forgetting is that you couldn't make a phone with a flush screen and a metal housing.
[XPERIA X1 General] SomeoneSimple:
The Diamond / TP does a little vibrate when someone picks up your call, am i right? (I'm not a Diamond user)

That is a VERY handy feature in my opinion. Would've been great if that would be possible on the X1.
[XPERIA X1 General] Aleemz:
I have a Polaris/Touch Cruise/Orbit 02, and also got an X1 a couple of weeks ago. I really miss the scroll wheel from the Polaris as well as the Cube/touchflo. Navigation for me was much simpler. Maybe it's just the usual case of configuring Window Mobile to personal preferences. I've installed HTC Home flike I had on the Polaris and this has made things easier.

I Also find the non-flush keyboard a problem, especially when typing on the screen keyboard. On full qwerty keyboard I find it difficult hitting the keys on the left or right edge of the screen.

I remember when I got the Polaris (after having a Hermes) I had to change settings/software until I was happy with it's operation/navigation. Hopefully, it'll be the same with the X1.
[XPERIA X1 General] Loco5150:
This is a software feature that I would imagine wouldnt be that hard to transfer to X1...
[XPERIA X1 General] chalid:
Yes, its a software feature with the Phone application. Should work on any custom ROM with the Blackstonephone - like on mine ... ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
UPS I forgot that one !!

That's so true: hold the phone with your left hand and sound mutes (because the speaker hole gets covered)
