news: Sony Added XZs and XZP to Open Device Project

[YasuHamed]

Sony has added the Xperia XZ Premium and Xperia XZs to its Open Device project, allowing you to build and flash your own versions of Android™ N onto those devices. You can find all the resources you need on Developer World


https://developer.sonymobile.com/20...emium-now-part-of-sonys-open-devices-program/
some users unlocked XZP using xz from https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/
soon XZP will be in the menu... will that affect drm fix ?

I am wandering now can we solve DRM issue?

Isn't this old news?

They've said before the XZ Premium would be on the list soon™

I can't see how it would make any difference just because you're able to select XZ Premium. You still unlock the bootloader the same way.

 

[Illux]

No, that makes no difference. Sony bullsh**s us by "opening the XZP to the bla bla bla world bla bla bla" while forcing the restriction of losing DRM on the customers. It's like saying "Your Porsche can now be modified any way you want to - but we'll replace the engine with one we pulled from an old E-bike".

Couldn't agree more!

I will probably choose the next XZ1 Compact (if rumors have become true) and ofc, I will not unlock it until a drm backup/restore/fix/cve-temp-root solution is working.
I really don't mind not having recovery/root bla bla bla at day 1. I can live without my own mods too

Nice to know, that you are on board and all the time with xperia. I've used yout MODs on my older xperia devices

I'm also waiting for a "drm backup/restore/fix/cve-temp-root solution" and than fire up XZP!

I am thinking to change my mobile, and seriously considering XZ , it came out on 6.x and has xploit! and whatever reviews i have read, its still good phone for 2017 and beyond, already running on 7.1.1 and will goto 8 ...

now the question that worries me alot!
will XZ be my last phone with sony?
if there is no DRMFIX Out there! i won't buy XZ successors at all because i cannot live with non rooted droids! they are just too frustrating! all the bloatware even after disabling most of them, they are still sitting in your partition! occupying gbs of your limited storage!
also mods like editing xml files for sound output, processor clocking can only be done when you have rooted phone!
nope! rooted phone is MUST for me!
- if i ever switch to any other droid! SONY is to blame

Well, @jerpelea knows his stuff.
I'd bet that if it was for him, even RIL would be open source.
