Yes! Finally, thanks! Glad to see some development.
What about XA2? Will there be a separate forum with dedicated ROMs sooner or later?

Question: Is it possible the boot.img may work on the XA2 H3123 model? I am looking for a boot.img file to patch with magisk, and currently Flashtool doesn't support the Hxxxx models

does the camera button work? or will it if the camera doesn't work yet?

that question was a brain fart on my side somehow i thought this was a treble rom. nevermind, thanks anyway. i'm expecting xa2 to be delivered tomorrow and treble roms support aosp features only so no camera button i guess

With a patch (included in this rom) you will be able to enable cam with cam button even if the device is in sleep mode .... Also can take pictures with it ..... Just wait to the release tonight ....

I know practically nothing about code.

Will this boot img work on the regular XA2? I'm looking for a boot.img file to patch in order to gain root access on my 5.2" XA2. The devices are practically the same, the only differences in hardware are a slightly bigger battery, bigger screen, extra GB of RAM, and an extra camera/flash on the front. but other than that, and the model number being different, they are basically the same device.

Thanks for the hard work!

No, XA2 Ultra's boot.img won't work on regular XA2. Furthermore the boot.img you can extract from this ROM is specifically compiled for AOSP rom, so I doubt that it will work with Sony's stock rom.

Noob question:

What are the advantages of a pure AOSP vs sony's AOSP base ROM? (besides 8.1 vs 8.0 obviously)

My understanding is Sony's ROMs are much more based on AOSP than say...Samsung TouchWiz.

Sorry for my noobishness. This is my first Sony device.

If you want always all working then rest on Sony stock firmware ... This rom is for have newer Android versions like pixel devices .... But not ever these kind of roms have all working because is ever in WIP state
