Hello,I am planning to buy Xperia Z2,but I have a problem.According to my research,ıf I use Cyanogenmod,Carbon Rom(except for stock rom),I cant use Drm Keys on these roms;so,Camera,Voice..etc performances will affect thanks to lack of Drm Keys.İs there any solution for this problem ? Cant we use Drm Keys on custom roms? I am waiting for your opinions,suggestions
downgrade
root
backup TA partition (where your drm keys are)
unlock bootloader
have fun
flash stock firmware
restore TA
enjoy your reinstated warranty
DRM Keys only affect drm dependant content such as PlayStation services and remote play, X-Reality, Some Xperia Apps such as Xperia Lounge VIP
there is nothing affected on custom roms because they dont use DRM content, only stock and stock based roms
Firstly,I am grateful for your help,but I couldnt tell exactly my problem.When I use custom rom,I cant use drm keys;so,drm related programs performance may down.My biggest fear is about camera performance.İn custom roms the quality of pictures taken with the camera are low owing to lack of Drm Keys.When Sony finishes update support,I turn to custom rom.İn custom roms I will encounter with poor camera quality,and this problem overwhelm me. I saw pictures taken with custom rom and stock rom and stock rom's picture quality is quite better. Camera performance is quite significant for me. I hope that I could tell my problem.

it honestly only affects stock ROM or stock based.
performance isn't affect at all, camera results are similar.
i mean i an able to create near DSLR results with no difference between Unlocked and Locked boot loader
I cant say how I became happy when I saw you said that similar picture quality between locked and unlocked.I wholeheartedly believe your words ,but I am bit confused.I saw same topic in this forum.They compared to stock and custom rom camera quality and likewise me they were worry about camera performance on custom roms because of lack of Drm Keys.Furthermore,Sony said that unlocking may down camera performance.However I rely on you.Thanks for your assistance

honnestly X-Reality Never worked for me, it may even be a placebo when i see little difference between UB and LB, there probably isnt any.
i use MultiRom to use Stock 4.4.4, CM11 and CM12 and i have to say Stock 4.4.4 has the best camera quality although CM11 and CM12 not being effected by DRM Content at all
idk why Sony doesnt try protecting their secretes with alternate methods.
I agree with you because according to me sony's method is absurd.When Sony finish update support,I turn to cm,and I will encounter with poor camera quality.This is absolutely quite bad.I found that unlocked's camera quality is quite bad in low light.Except for light low,locked's and unclocked's picture quality are nearly similar.İn addition, Brightness problem may occur in pictures.I learned this problem in unlocked.Thank you again I want to ask another question if you arent busy.I cant decide buy Z2 or Z3 Compact.Z3 Compact has 2 gb ram,so I am confused.Will 2gb ram be sufficient in next 3 years ? I want to use my new phone at least 3 years.Sorry for a great deal of question.

Z2 is cheaper and tougher
Z3 is more expencive and weaker but has a tiny tiny bit more battery, better display and not realy much difference in camera.
Thanks for your suggestions.Z3 Compact get a bit higher score in Antutu Z2.However,Ram is more significant for me,and maybe I will prefer Z2

benchmarks = total nonsense
my Z2 is faster than my freinds brand new Z3 but my benchmark score is far lower
you shouldent care about ram on Linux based OSs, android being Linux based.
Ram's importance arises from my currently phone.I have 512 mb ram phone and I encounter with hard situations;thus, Z2's 3 gb ram attracts me.Actually,I want to prefer Z3 Compact but ram is a problem for me.Except for battery,size and ram they are nearly same Could you use 20mp in Cyanogenmod ?

512MB thats a problem but upward of 1GB is none, hence dont care about ram
Anything the phone is capable of can be used in non stockbased custom roms
-In short, yes 20MP can be used in CM Roms
Z2 and Z3 both have 3Gb
Z2 compact has 2GB but its literely enough anways
There is no Z2 Compact,I think you want to say Z3 Compactİn the next 1,2 years,Big Hd Games will need to more ram ,and maybe 2 gb ram will be insufficient.You said that I get same picture quality both locked and unlocked.Do you use Cyanogenmod Camera in Cm or any camera app?

I use stock rom with stock cam, CM12 and 11 with stock CM camera
Games im not too sure about games
Currently the best graphis games only hit 200-300MB used ram
Finally,you said that both stock's and cyanogenmod's camera performances are similar.İt doesnt matter too much.Am I right?

I have tried nos, arrow, havoc, P. E. roms in my 2gb variant. But all are lagging too much at the time of miltitasking. It's been a month I'm back in oreo.
Now can anyone suggest any smooth pie for 2gb variant?
People say good things about havoc. I want to know too all the feedback. Cause this is my daily phone and i play pubg on it

i think pie roms are still not optimized.
if u use kernel auditor, u will see that cpu, gpu & other settings are limited to a fixed value, they don't have full potential, may be because of increasing battery life.
i have 3gb kenzo, i also face lags on many apps like Facebook on pie roms
if battery life isn't a issue to u, u can modify kernel settings to get lag free experience
increase zram, increase cpu frequency

Try Xtended pie butter smooth ROM
No lag for multitasking and pubg gameplay is pretty good
Been using NOS Pie for quite some time and tried other Pie ROMs, and I can already tell that NOS Pie is the most stable among all others for Kenzo 2 Gb variant.

Agreed, they are still under development just flash an Oreo then flash Pie after 4-5 months. I flashed RR on December and gonna change in March (When my exams will end ahahhaha)
Hi guys and gals,
Picked up a V30 for its SD 835 and Oled at 150$.
I love the phone but hate the customization options, I already tried havoc unofficial but games are laggier than stock (maybe 45fps in games like clash)
So that said, let me ask you guys:
Whats your favorite custom Rom?
Hows the gaming performance?
Does it get hot?
Hows the battery life?
Sorry guys for the textbook intro, ans thank you for your answers!

I run rooted stock firmware with my own choice of mods, like Anxious V30 and Gravity Box.
Which variant do you have?

H-932. I mostly want swipe gestures and a system wide night mode. I'm currently on debloated flashable stock Oreo ROM and it performs well. Also I like being able to change the Resolution.
Try Xenon HD with custom kernel like Ceres 145 SE Linux Permissive

Any improvements in comparison to stock cam? I see that everyone talks about this GoogleCam.

I agree GCam are best but not all GCams are good,
this one is made to put low stress on cpu and is capable of good shots in light but in dark it struggles altough using NightMode gives good colours but the stock one better.
since it is in starting stage many upcomming versions of GCam Go will sport features and it will take time to come.
I just switched to K50 Ultra, is there anyway to fix camera crashes on Global ROM (very helpful if u post a link for GCam or something) - or unlock FPS for games in EU ROM? I notice its locked on 30FPS in almost every games.
Does EliteROM a good ROM for daily use?
Thanks for your help, have a nice day!
(Sorry for my bad English, not my tongue language)
Use Xiaomi.eu or Elite ROM. I don't know why you flashed Global ROM from Xiaomi 12T Pro, because these devices have completely different cameras, so camera will not work in Global ROM. Plenty of games have an option to unlock more than 30fps in settings, have you checked?

Unlocked more than 60 fps in games offers "gaming" phones like ASUS ROG or Redmagic, Xiaomi doesn't have this feature. You need to use magisk modules which can unlock more fps in games or use Elite ROM which has built in unlocking 90 fps in PUBG and CODM, (you can find it here) but I don't know if AOV does too.
