Sorry I don't actually know. Had my phone under a week and didn't try any low light pics before. But dark theme across the UI works and I like gestures

I have the Xperia 5 (J9210) Dual Sim, no OTA yet. But i have downloaded the firmware with the XperiaFirm:
J9210_Customized NOBA_1320-1207_55.1.A.0.748_R2B
I guess if I flash it, it will work, right?
greetings to all

it should work if your phone have the same model as the firmware mentioned

It will work but all future updates will be received when that region's variant is released. I have the NOBA J9110 and we are usually in the second release group but for some reason we were in the first for this release.

what does noba stands for?

Nordic - Norway

Thanks for the reply. Will any DRM be lost for not doing so through the OTA?
Is better with flashtool or newflasher?

It won't screw up your DRM. Use newflasher but read the prompts.

alternative method would be downloading the firmware through the xperifirm application and then creating a flashable firmware using flashtool and flashing with the flashtool application. Unless you unlock your bootloader you will loose the drm keys.

Ready. I flashed it with the Newflasher and the downloaded Firmware (Custom NOBA). It works excellent. Gestures of android 10, dark mode. I still did not test the camera. So far it works and responds very fast. Absolutely nothing was lost from DRM. Thank you all for replying.

So far, I have tried it in normal situations and then at night and I do not see any significant change, compared to the previous version. I will try to test it further.

But that is only for the H8216 (single sim) and H8296 (dualsim) 6GB - there is no build for H8266 (dualsim) yet xD
This wouldn't need a drm fix?
This also switches the Rom from xperia to pure AOSP?
Without the special features of the XZ working?
Not yet working for my best buy bought h8266. Says phone not supported.
My Xperia H8266 is also not supported...yet or never?

The disclaimer in developer site says branded phones aren't supported. But can't you just flash another region's ftf to debrand yours? Does xflasher support XZ2?

Firmware 8.1.0.128(636) is awesome

I just updated my phone to the .128 (636) firmware and the improvement in the camera app is so huge compared to previous version. I was on .107(636). AI now detects the scene more consistently and apply the HDR extremely well. In my opinion the dynamic range is on par with pixel 2 or even slightly better with this version. I can shoot handheld night scene at shutter speed 1/24 without using the night mode which is usually at 4 seconds shutter speed (harder to handhold). The only way to get this firmware right now is via funky huawei though

I did not pay attention to the front camera because i hardly use it, the photos from the front facing camera looked the same to me. I am sure they did something to it too because the rear camera difference is huge, looks like the change the AI HDR algorithym or something.

But how are you getting it to install the found firmware? I've tried with no success, I'm totally stock, locked and unrooted.

Well..then you can't, you'll have to wait for the update from huawei. You need to be unlocked and have TWRP installed.

If you unlock your bootloader and install TWRP it breaks Google Pay, right? (might consider this method if it doesn't).
is this new fw rootable with the original method? (magisk image)

It doesn't break google play... Depending where you are it voids your warranty.
Well you'll have to hurry if you decide to do it... Since they'll stop providing unlock codes soon. Just go to the uk support chat and ask for a bootloader unlock code, you should get it on you email in 2 days if they agree if not jjst go onto chat again and say you didn't recieve it... They should be able to provide it to you.

Lucky you, when I got mine it the site was down.
But I would really recommend doing it if you know yourself to be careful with your phone. The updated firmware is worth it...since it can be quite some times till huawei might push the update to your device/country/region. etc. so that's the only way to actually keeping up to date without having to wait a lot..

Major problems with this update, Ulefone Power 3
Hello,
I downloaded and installed this OTA Update on my ulefone power 3, GQ3056MF1_HCS986a_Ulefone_V40. The phone was working perfectly well before the update, but after restarting after installing the update, the display double prints everything. The display is completely undreadable, with lines accross it and printing in double. Is there anything I can do to remove this update or roll it back? Thanks a lot
First read the txt that comes with it.:good:
It says if you have problems after this update > PLEASE make a works-reset.
And then restart your phone.
Here its working fine.
i have v36

As soon as the bootloader is unlocked, you are no longer able to update (OTA). You have to flash the firmware manually. You can download the current version of your firmware with Xperifirm, then flash it with Newflasher. Don't forget to backup all your apps and data (pictures,...) before!
Cheers

They stripped 'em. There is a way to enable Android Q gestures via ADB, but the bottom line button doesn't work at all, so it's pretty useless.
