Thanks for the ROM! Everything works fine BUT the "OK" buttom from the remote of an X96-W (2G/16G) . For now I have installed a normal keyboard (kind of a dealbreaker!). Anyone else is having issues with the "OK" button not working or maybe some suggestions for a fix?

am I the only one that people cannot hear me on Teams? :)

Download Emma Flash tool by Sony here: https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/flash-tool and give it a go. Enter phone into flashmode ( power down phone and press - Volume and plug usb cable). Once you launch Emma, you will get a list of available roms to flash. Google...

Thanks guys. I somehow managed to do so. However data recovery was not fruitful so all this was for nothing. Except I did all the wrong things like unlock bootloader at Oreo, so when I flashed Pie, camera preview was black and flashable fix did not work. So the followup will be on...

Here's what I just did: Flashed with newlflasher H8314_Customized+CE1_1316-0774_51.1.A.11.51_R1A.tar.gz (the one provided by MartinX3) , boot and enable debug on developers menu and then run fastboot reboot bootloader to avoid the known bug, then runfastboot --disable-verity...

Good luck with that mate... I tried with Flashtool and XperiaFirm tool, but the ones avaiable are storefront roms, but I tried anyhow. Then it got into bootloop, then took the downloaded files from Flashtool and put it on Newflasher. It worked, but it deleted my user partition :( I found other...

Can someone give concise information hot to flash TWRP in Oreo for XZ2 compact? After upgrading to android 10 and phone got crappy with battery and notifcations, I took the bullet to revert back to Oreo. But I somehow (blame flashtool or newflasher) I deleted also the user partition. So I need...

So, how do we downgrade? I think I want to go back to Android 8 because I am sick and tired of Sony screwing up and deteriorate performance and battery life in every upgrade.

Can anyone recommend a fully working port of Google Camera for our X Compact? There are way too many ports here to for a trial and error approach: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/

Levone1, my attempt to do so in Oreo failed miserably :) It was better though, but far from ideal. Maybe though I didn't mess with kernel, so I can't really blame Oreo (yet!). Would you recommend Nougat or Oreo release for OmniROM?

Hi guys, After a disappointing stay at Oreo for several months, I downgraded to Nougat. Things are a bit better but far from marshmallow I recalled when I got the phone. I got a bit older so I am not so fond of trying different roms every month. So before downgrading to stock marshmallow...

Hey munjeni, what a pleasant surprise to see a rom from you again! Still using your 4.4 rom, should I make the switch or wait a bit? Curious how is the battery and stability (now that random reboots seem fixed) in comparison with 4.4 rom.

Hello jasmineloveflower! I want to avoid the full wipe of my internal data. Been using the rom for some time now and I hate to go through the process of post installation. Strangely this happened after the update.I Had no similar issues with previous version.
