UPDATE: Running total and list of pledgers here.
UPDATE 2: A dev team has responded! Here's a working alpha!
UPDATE 3: Back cam (almost) stable now!
The recent developments from noted Gcam developers indicate promising results for Xperia 1 ii and 5 ii. However, there is still a long way to go before we could finally experience the Gcam software-processing most other phones already have. The Xperia mark 2s are already amazing devices and if we could get the holy grail of computational photography working, the Sony devices would be formidable flagships, ticking all the boxes that matter.
If we're serious in getting this Gcam working, we need to send a message to the developers we mean business. And part of that would be putting up a bounty to make the development on the Xperia devices more attractive for developers and, hopefully, get them to put a little bit more love for the Sony devices.
For starters, I'm pledging 50 bucks to the pot for a fully working Gcam 7.xx. Could anyone chip in? Let's keep the momentum going!
I'm pledging 20€ for a working Gcam on Xperia 5 ii
Saw this on reddit but count me in for $20.

Just seen this... Looks Like i will try it finally No promises yet, but i think it would be smart to call in the 2019 Xperia Users as well (Almost the same Software).
Add 25 from me

I'll go 10 quid.
Has anyone tried the ported google camera go mod with night mode? Seems to be working on most phones. Please let me know

Anyone interested in starting a forum for Elephone U pro?
I am interested. The phone should be here soon. I am not familiar with these matters, but I sit on xda almost every day

I ordered the U pro from GearBest. I will post my experience when I get it in a few days (or weeks ).
I usually root my phones but never tried one with a snapdragon. According to some accounts it is more difficult to root the snapdragon than the MTK.
Also the U pro is GMS certified. Which might be another hurdle.
I also ordered a phone with GearBest, I am also waiting and I hope that he will stay with me in a few days. I will share my impressions

Same here, the phone is on its way and I'll need some help to enable additional lte frequencies. What I've read in specs the "global" doesn't have a lot of useful bands for the US.
I order the U pro on Feb. 9 at GearBest and it arrived on Feb 15.
So far I am absolutely thrilled. Everything works. Some functions smoothly others like the finger print scanner can use some improvements.
I read some comments about NFC not working. Particularly with Android pay. But as I do not have that in my country of residence it is not a big issue for me. I tried NFC however but managed to transfer pic files only. It might be a short coming of the phone or my inexperience.
I also can not comment on the camera. For me the picture qualities are good enough because I buy phone with a camera and not a camera with a phone.
The battery charges fast and even with constant use it is sufficient for a hole day. But then I am also no gamer.
Anyone encountered a problem let us know. If you can add a solution to it even better.
ye also receiving today my u pro, would be nice if we could open a forum about it!

Hi, I was watching your review. Great and to the point. I am surprised that this phone is not yet more popular. But as you mentioned the price might be a turn off for many. However so far think I got what I paid for.
Just hope we can get a twrp recovery for this phone soon.
I rooted my previous P9000 and I miss all the fun you have with a rooted phone.

That's great if you can do that. I am just a user. I know how to tweak a phone but I don't know how to write code.
Google cam mod works
I got my phone 2 days ago and it works perfect. Camera needs more software tweeks. I menaged to install google pixel2 cam apk and it helps with low light noise in the original elephone app. Camera mod is for snapdragon 820/821 but it works on elephone. I think they have camera 2API enebeled. There are some hickups in app but just with slowmotion but that is app issue not phone issue.
Overall great phone. Everythink works great and the screen is beautifull. I am waiting for wireless charger to check that feature. Pardon my english.

I hope you can share your twrp. I for my part don't mind to spend a few dollars if it works well.
Also would be interested in rooting the U pro with Magisk. I had no problems with rooting the P9000 with superSu and Magisk. Magisk did root it but I never got around the safety net.
Also I did not manage to see the U pro in win explorer. The phone is recognized in the PC but doesn't show in explorer.

Has anyone been able to find a Gcam APK that works properly. For the most part I love everything about this phone but the camera is like a average mid range camera. Obviously we all didn't buy this phone for it's camera but I'm hoping there is a way to make it a bit better.
There's already an extensive discussion on the subject here.

The phone is not even available to buy yet and yes I am sure a pet will be done if technically possible
I'm taking a wild guess here... But I think it needs to be released first..band after that they also have to release source code aswell ...band my third wild guess is this will happen without your request,because developers are curious of how they can make it work.. oh..also .... They might just port hardware into our devices.. because that's what they do..
But what do I know.. I'm just guessing.
How much time?
How much time(approx) will it take to port Google pixel 3 camera for OnePlus 6. I am so excited to use pixel 3 camera port with depth control ?.

A port is already available

One of the first things I installed on my Magisk-rooted OP7 is a program to kick greedy users off the wifi temporarily (Pixel Netcut), but it threw me into a boot loop.
On the next round, I installed Arcai Netcut. It works, but the $12 per year seems a bit steep, I don't expect to use it that often, only when sharing space with someone who's being a pig. A nice feature is that you don't have to kick them out, you can reduce their speed to, say, 30%.
Would some of you know of other apps that serve that purpose and are stable on Magisk-rooted OP7?
Thanks!!!!
is $12/yr and you bought a op7 pro? like cmon

Ha, I never said that I personally bought that phone… Otherwise, I could see your point!
And value-wise, I do spend $12 a year for Reverso, but I use that every day… When I contrast that to a program I might use a couple times a year, it seems steep (for my needs).

Had your problem a while ago, but in my research dsploit never worked correctly. You may try but the only working solution was netcut, because after a certain Android version every other app became obsolete.

I'll start I guess.
Lockscreen. Home, left and right.
Redid my home and lock. Same ****.
Just new icons, and background mountain, lock wall is still likewise above, just with a background mountain so still fits.
I'll later today, remove the navigation bar all together. And going all gestures. For more seamless setup and controll. Just don't have any adb on my Macs and don't get it, as on Windows. Lol.
Edit** Added lockscreen and homewall.
It's no right, none did a setup yet, phone is on Monday a month old. ?? Come on all ?
I redo mine like at least ones a day ? can't show em all, just what I fall back to. Otherwise I'll be spamming ???
Wauuu really? Is this the community of Sony, 76 ppl locking, not one says, u suck, God knows what. I did not make a mistake, buying this, but the community is like non-existent

Sold both xm3 and Xperia 5, as I couldn't stand any of em.

I disabled Ambient display on the Xperia 5. Seems to work much better. @ Android v9. I wonder once Android 10 is stable and fixes bugs in 10 will the new home button make things easier?

I thought that Sony's gesture actually works. But wasn't quite enough for me. And way of topic
And how better? My only real complaint was FP. And had 3 updates in 3 weaks, didn't fix, so I sold. The phone it self. Had no issue with. Besides. My year elder op6 preform better besides 21:9 :good:
Oh. Yeah. Sold to a company. For more than I gave. So no loss. I tried.
But let's hope. They'll fix stuff in @10, like systemwide dark mode :fingers-crossed:

What is that clock/weather widget, that's sharp
A new cell phone is just a bunch of radiation.
the Xperia 5 has an advantage over wider phones, but the top of the phone is too heavy and will tip over. Also, the bezel material is unlike the Xperia Z3, which was metallic and unique among Xperia flagships.
