Hello Folks! Looking forward to support My new XZ Premium with great Work! Stock has changed over the Years and there is a lot to learn again. So please let Me know if You have something to contribute like a Camera /DRM FIx or something like Support for more Variants of one Phone Model...

Hope You will enjoy what i deliver! Happy flashing :highfive:

 

[madshark2009]

wow great job! cant wait to try it out

wow great job! cant wait to try it out

Added a Changelog If You prefer to have something special should You just wait for V2. V1 is very basically to proof that i'm able to produce working Bases for My Work. Looks like i stop doing My Snappatch and switch back to Stock ROM Creations again. To bad that AROMA isn't working on the XZ Premium, otherwise would i include Tons of Options...

Maybe can we get that also fixed in the Future. First Things first

I like how you work! Very orginized and promising
So camera is not working at all? Not even on alternative apps?

Glad to hear that You appreciate that! Hope i can provide a clean and good Working ROM over the next Years, with Useful additions and Optimizations. Something You will never see from Me are old, obsolete or non working "Tweaks", copied Audio Mods or included Xposed. That's stuff Users can add if they Think they miss it...

Quality over Quantity! :cowboy:

And to answer Your Question: No, it's not working at all. You can open it and all that but taking Pictures outputs Green Results (Think the Noise Reductions has a mailfunction without DRM)

XperiFix would be the Way to get around this, but it doesn't allow or support newer Firmwares (As long as the Master isn't giving it Free). I will try to find a Fix for this without the need for a PC, but for now do we have to wait or to use the following Way)

You can:
-Flash XperiFix supported Firmware to Your Device
-Boot into the System (Skip the Setup)
-Shutdown
-Flash the XperiStock ROM (Don't boot the System)
-Use XperiFix

And that should be it. Can't say if this really works but i heard it does...

I go to home sooner and test your rom it's stock yeah just flash able I'm fix camera by flashing that old kernel and drm fix so easy but I think the stock kernel is super fast and this is just fast(old kernel).

Wow, thank You for letting Us know! We know it's a old Kernel, but better as a non working Camera for now! BTW. Is the Kernel for the Dual SIM Version only or also for the G8414 Version!?

EDIT1: Next ROM comes soon! Changelog grows :angel:

EDIT2: Testing some last Changes. Think i'll upload the next ROM Version very soon...

 

[Beetle84]

Maybe you could have a look at getting this working on oreo for v2. Used to work fine on nougat. The font tab is added to settings, but hangs then reboots when you press it.

does the xposed working? AndroPlus Kernel V11 Cause WiFi and data settings to be invalid,as my test on g8142.

I'm not sure if i go with AndroPlus Kernel on the Release since someone told Me he is working on a new Kernel including the DRM Fix. At least is My Camera working with this Kernel (G8414) besided no other Bugs (Except for Lags after flashing but that is gone now). Hope i can deliver a ROM that works also for Your Device well...

Thanks for Your efforts! I'm not going to include Xposed by default since not everyone is using it (Including Me), but i could include Your Edited Services.jar for Xposed Users if it helps!?

EDIT: Is the Services Jar comming with disabled Signature Verification? If so, should it be easy to include the Font Selector from the Link up here...

I'm currently almost done with the new Version. Just waiting for the Kernel and i'm about to Optimize the Camera Config (Trying to enable 4K Recording on the Front Cam besides 1080p @60fps and such). Maybe do i find some more Things to play with...

I'm also thinking the Audio Quality could be better at all. I will also work on this without using any Pseudo Audio Mods or such...

Can't wait to upload the next ROM. I was also thinking about another Name (XperiStock was a just quick Idea for the Release). How Sounds PiXeria? Think it would fit well to the Pixel Look the next ROM comes with... Let Me know!

hey can you also see if you can enable native 4k screen? or 120hz? or recording [email protected]?
PiXeria sounds nice , you can try XpiXel, or any unrelated name that sounds strong, like venum or cobra or viper like some other rom names
but PiXeria sounds nice too.

@Miustone
I notice you are directing users to use one of my old kernel repacks with this rom, and that's fine but it's time for an an update!
Here is my repack of the latest .145 stock kernel for G8141 single sim https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657596596
I assume you have baked the drm fix libs into the rom, but if not , here is sToRm//'s drm fix zip https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673956719939833470 (zips tested by me and verified as working on pure stock 47.1.A.12.145 rom)
- Camera with no green pictures working straight out of the box.
- Safetynet passes without flashing Magisk.
- DMverity disabled.
- Patched to eliminate lag on deodexed roms. (Works fine on odexed as well)
- Flash kernel.zip and drmfix.zip in TWRP recovery and you are done.

Great Ideas! XperiStock sounds so copied for Me
I will think about it till the Third Release. Well, native 4K shouldn't be the Problem, but 120Hz for sure. Maybe can we do more on Stock when the 120Hz Option on AOSP finally works (To see how it works). 4K on 60FPS with Back Cam on Stock is in the testing Phase right now...
Let's see what i can manage to do in the next Time, but i'm already really satisfied with the Quality of Stock. It's for sure beyond the most Flagship when it comes to Quality and Features...

Only the Audio could be really better like said before. Think i can make this baby a lot better in this view. There is a lot to merge from My Snappatch, and i'm finally not longer handicapped by the DAC in My Axon 7 (Snapdragon ftw!)

 

[Blackghosthm]

Hi Miu stone I'm glad to see you working on camera and audio (specially camera because no one does) just don't delete xreality, I think native 4k can be good, but native 2k can be great because dialer doesn't work on 4k, phone goes hot on 4k,battery drain faster, and phone getting slow on games.
Hope you adding cool features to it and thanks for great work.
How's xperibeast for name. ?

well at least there should be the option of switching you know? when you gaming you can simply switch to 1080 or 2k and when you just browsing, instagram, youtube , chrome, etc its nice to have 4k as an option to enable, plus there is an alternative phone app that works with 4k (the reason it doesnt work in the first place is because some apps arent adjusting to the VIRTUAL density but if it was physical it wouldnt cause such problems) I tried it and it works perfectly, and dont worry, i dont think native 4k is as much power requiring as virtual so overheating isnt gonna be a big issue like on virtual 4k using adb commands.

hope the [email protected] work, and if 120hz is a problem how about 4k option? is it possible you might consider it in the next version?
and yah actually the sound quality on the device is superb and on a high level compared to other devices when it comes to everything about sound engineering, I actually work in the music field and I work a lot with sound stuff and i can tell you it delivers pretty good accuracy and has a high dynamic range of frequencies and its very rich, the only issue here is that its very low, could be to maintain really good quality sound, but I would rather a higher volume even if it means a little less quality (unless if it starts to distort in that case id rather keep it low)
and again, on be half of the XZP community I cant thank you enough for you efforts and energy to get this baby up and running on the level it should be
keep it bro much love

True Hero! Thank You very much for Your Contribution! I just got the DRM working with My ROM and the right Kernel, but it's really Time for a Update. Next Version of My ROM will come with Your Kernel! Also great to hear that there will be no Lags and to have also other Additions like DMverity disabled besided passing SafetyNet!

I could with AROMA create a lil Pack containing the DRM Fix, Magisk (Or no Magisk) and Your Kernel, but sadly is our TWRP buggy and doesn't works with AROMA right now. But when People want to flash My ROM with a working Camera and without Magisk do they just have to remove the Magisk ZIP out of the ROM and all will be fine. Really great!

Buy this Man a Beer! Next ROM Update will come in the next Hours with new Kernel <3
