Photo comparisation -> Locked Booatloader vs AOSP with DRM fix - Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers

Are there any picture compensations about the picture quality loss?

If you use Carbon, it has almost the same effect as stocks, so check out this reply.

Thx, but are there any pictures to see?
So that I am not scared to unlock my XZ2.
I am building twrp for it to apply the DRM fix.
I'm also building the Xperia aosp for it.

Best Custom Rom

I am currently running the last version of RROS. Lately I've seen many Custom ROMs available, what do you consider to be the best Custom ROM that I can install on my "honor 8"? This considering performance, battery, camera, personalization and fluidity

The best way to find answer for your question is try all of this roms or read theads about each rom I personlay prefer Lineage

I know, it would be best to try them all, but I suffered a lot to install RROS, for a little brick my phone, so I ask the opinion of more advanced users ?
I understood that the thread of lineageos stayed in beta :l
Could you pass me the thread to read the features? Please ?

My opinion on the camera is negative. Stock camera is the best. And others are not that cool. Even the oneplus5 camera mod is nothing compared to stock camera. But oneplus5 camera is best for our custom ROMs right now ?

This ROM first step for install another ROMs. If want know features about each ROM try search by Google because I don't know about all features and right now is here custom ROMs. And if you want know how is each stable read thread about this.

I read and researched about gopinaidu007 ROMs, and I think OWNRom and CarbonRom are the ones that work best (Based on what I read). I see that you have tried them, which of the two do you recommend?

They have given two update about 500 mb but both are for system improvement and security patches still waiting for the next major update to oreo

Did anybody notice that screen seems to be over sharpened? I saw in one of the YouTube videos that the reviewer also has over sharpened screen. Did anybody notice that on their q6 ?
Not sure of custom roms but yeah, at least Oreo is confirmed for us! Can't wait to experience it.
Then? LG is notoriously bad at update software. Unless we have custom ROM the phone will become abandoned in 2 years for sure.., unless oreo update has treble then maybe some little hope

XZ2 Officially Added to Sony Open Devices Program

https://developer.sony.com/posts/xperia-xz2-and-xperia-xz3-added-to-sonys-open-devices-program/
I didn't purchase the XZ2 because of the lackluster ROM development. I read that there were some issues with a DRM being broken that caused the camera to fail. Does this announcement by Sony indicate that the phone is easier to make roms for?

Yes, but the announcement is too early.
We need https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/kernel/pull/1688 getting closed.
BTW. It is way easier to release custom rom for the xperia phones.
There is only a lack of developers. :silly:
I want a lineageOS.

Unlocking in PIE is impossible because of a bootloader bug.

Loss of video and image enhancement is a deal breaker for me.
That's why I think root in Xperia is a no go.

You get it back with a drmfix.
But on PIE you need to wait for @sToRm//
I know... But after uninstall useless apps via ADB, I'm fine without root.

And your DRM keys (for some device functions in the stock rom) got removed from your device.
So Now What Can i DO?

Using AOSP/Custom ROMs
or
Waiting for a DRMfix for PIE
or
just use the device without the lost functions
(Maybe you want to use the existenze stock rom mod on XDA)

AOSP is independent of Sony stock stuff.
It has its own enhancement stuff.
But at the moment the camera is not stable/complete.
That'll take some time.
I don't know if the Oreo drmfix guy is working on it or any other.

Kindly Guide me how can i fix drm on oreo
Just use xperifix.
The Oreo firmware is in my TWRP download link.
It can be installed with newflasher from XDA.
Xperifix needs to be installed in vendor & a/b mode.
Choose the magisk.zip too, but not the TWRP stuff.
And switch to selinux permissive via magisk.
Xperifix is Paid

Losing the video DRM after Rooting.

I just want to make check if this is still the case?
Rooting the phone still removes the DRM however you root it?
No alternative way to save the DRM or reinstall it?
If your question is Netflix related, then I have rooted OP7 Pro with Magisk and there's no issue at all.
Unlocking bootloader changes widevine to l3. No way around that. Nothing to do with root.

Actually it has to do with unlocking the bootloader and rooting typically goes hand in hand with bootloader unlocking so it kind of does.

I heard some people unlock the bootloader and use root to debloat and make certain system changes that persist after unrooting. I don't know why they unroot other then google pay as Magisk allows google pay to work.
