Thanks for your effort. Which firmware version is needed plz?

I would suggest to be on stock A12 before flashing. However, as it includes a custom kernel it shouldn't matter

Hi, would anyone be so kind to make a short list of what is "missing" from this rom compared to the stock one?
Like, I don't know, creator mode? 120hz? Game enhancer (if this one's missing, is there any way to install it? I need it to run Kodi at 60hz, otherwise black screen)? The battery charge thing?
Thanks in advance!

120hz is there, creator mode is there, game enhancer no, H.S is available through ACC

Great, thank you!
By the way I'm gonna leave this here in case anyone runs in a similar situation: I managed to run Kodi with 120hz enabled without game enhancer by creating a macro in macrodroid that changes min_refresh_rate and peak_refresh_rate system settings a second before starting the app and sets them back when it's closed.

Sony battery limit, one of the most cooler featuire to save battery wearing, is not ther, Dual Sim not there, Dolby Atmos same, the camera pro and cinema pro are not there, because not compatible on Android 13 maybe, the normal camera app and google camera as well leave not change lenses. So be aware your mileage may vary.... Hope these features will be introduced in the next release because 90% of this rom is very interesting and fast.

All camera apps works and Sony battery limit is done through an app called ACCA

 

[King081]

Dolby Atmos won't be done yet
