Hi Folks,
As you know, there are lot meet ups happening in India for Honor/Huawei users, currently for Honor 6X and Honor 8 Pro only, but we may see these coming to other devices as well based on the response. It may be limited for older devices where software support is not possible but eventually newer devices like, Honor 5C, Honor 8, Honor 6X and honor 8 pro would be included (if they get more requests for 5C and 8).
In this thread, lets discuss on various points/feedback and feature request that we want to raise it to the Honor teams during meetup and eventually taken up to the R&D team for consideration to enhance the end user experience in a positive way.
Anybody attending these meet ups with Honor team can put forward these points and we wish these points will be considered to provide a happy and positive user experience.
Created a thread in Honor 6X section as well so that 6X user can fill their points there and we can refer any of these thread for unique points to proceed with.
6X thread
Good luck.
Attached is the list of point raised during Honor meet up in Chennai and compiled by our fellow member @amulbaby (Abhishek)
View attachment Points_from_Chennai_Meet-up.pdf
6X thread- https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/feature-request-feedback-upcoming-emui-t3669806
As we already discussed on other thread few of the points
removal of knuckle feature
camera lag on EMUI 5 (while opening only)
Over exposed image while using front camera
timely Kernel sources for all the device
Double tap to wake up
uniform OTA acorss all devices
Expecting for expert opinion, new points, feedback, feature request from @gopinaidu77 @venugopalu007 @PalakMi @RedSkull23 @clsA @jsbeyond @amulbaby @joe2k01 add other if I missed anyone.
Update
I have a updated one @shashank1320 , the one which I made for Mumbai.
Same has been submitted to R & D for reference.
And regarding Kernel sources, Recent removal of official firmwares which directly affect development of Custom ROMs, I have already written a brief mail describing how important it is to have a Open source environment in Android Platform and that going this way would only reduce sales numbers.
Where in house processing restricts the possibility of constant upgrades, having the sources available to developers will only help us all as developers will be able to include security patches, custom kernel compatibility, additional features of further Android iterations and not wait for the OEM to release.
What we heard from Mr. Naveen at Chennai was that due to the closed loop nature of the processor, they take a base version of Android and try to build EMUI on top with all possible optimizations and iterations , which takes time to release as other OEMs mostly have to work with Qualcomm where they get most thing pre baked .They like to keep update frequency lower than other brands owing to the same reason.

Thanks for sharing.
Yes, regarding this. he conveyed the same message. Other OEMs using the SD version of processor gets the faster updated because Qualcomm directly work in collaboration with Google for new Android updates and SD models receive it quickly and other OEMs which has the custom Skin on Top of Android takes their own time to customize and tweak the new updates, test and release for public.
Also These OEMs keep the update frequency less unless there is anything major to be addressed like bugs, security concerns etc. If the OTA update given is stable and phone works fine without any user complaints then they avoid rolling out the updates to avoid any mess with the working updates.
Whatever you said is what we have heard as well.
Going by the number of inconsistencies we have on 8 pro, its high time to see a update. Easy to lose out of competitive market where people keep changing devices so often nowadays.

Couldn't agree more bro. And Huawei needs to understand from user perspective. Hardware wise devices are good but if no custom development then people opt for redmi, Moto etc.
Ok. Some points from me also.
1. The current settings screen is very cluttered and the use of colorful icons makes it look childish IMO. I would suggest if going forward with the Oreo update they keep it closer to stock and reduce the clutter in settings.
Also if they can keep the notifications and QS area more stock.
Overall, more closer to stock UI.
2. Addition of equaliser and improvement in loudness over earphones.
3. A slight improvement in sharpness in rear camera. Also improvement in low light shots.
Can't think of anymore because others are already listed.

Good inputs there.
Just a few points from my limited knowledge:
1. Oreo as such groups settings menu into refined categories, so that is expected going forward. However, there would be some variations, which they might not agree to eliminate as it is subjective.
2. I was asked by R&D team as to what are all the immediate concerns, few days back. I had written to them set of 7-8 points including double tap to wake, Camera optimizations(front mainly), audio output betterment and interface availability for fine tuning etc. So, thats already sent across. Insisted them to send it along with the next OTA.
3. In the PDF I have attached, as well as in the Chennai meet, we pointed out how amazing the rear optics are as well as the little inconsistencies existing. Better edge detection algo for identifying spaces between two subjects separated by a short distance, general improvement were highlighted in that. They did nod for that , not sure when it would come as an update.
Nevertheless, cameras in this phone are a thing of beauty and very closely rival some entry n mid range DSLRs.

Exactly. Atleast if xda development was active, we could see some security patches, upgrades from ported Mods n stuff, but with the removal of firmware sources, they are looking at sealing their own fate.

Thanks and I understand that. They will surely rearrange settings because Oreo has done that.
What I actually wanted to say is that the icons used in the settings are somewhat childish. It would be great if they are somewhat more professional looking.
I can live with that QS area but Emui curves the corners of the notifications and that somewhat doesn't fit with the QS panel above which doesn't have curved corners.
So, it's sort of a mismatch. If they could remove those curved corners from notifications, would be great.

Nah. Since EMUI 4, they are trying really hard to mimic ios. Unlike Touchwiz, ZenUI and others, they have a distinct look.

Well, different opinions.
Nougat version of emui is a lot better than Kitkat and Marshmallow ones.
There's still a lot of space for improvement though

Hi, since our Mi A1 display is quite pale (and color calibration is inaccurate), it would be fantastic to have KCAL support in order to use for example Kernel Adiutor to calibrate the screen (as we can do with Redmi Note 4 global on Lineage OS rom with patched kernel). I have tried with Color Changer Pro but it's pretty limited (saturation change give poor results).
Now that the sources are released (even if nougat-based) , it will be easy to apply using the guidelines in this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/dev-kcal-advanced-color-control-t3032080 ?
Thanks in advance
PS: sorry if it's quite similar to a mine old post, but I have posted it in the wrong section last time, so I please mods to cancel the incorrect post.

well it's too early to demand anything in kernel as far as i saw devs here all are in try to make custom roms well I don't think it is much necessary (we are on stock already) we need custom kernels first so if a one developer should work only to make kernel source stable it would be great and yes this features would be implemented but we have to wait
in a month we can get android 8.0 stable kernel and OS i think

I have seen hundreds of mi a1, screen is far form perfection, colors are under saturated and contrasts are poor. G3 had poor colors too. Redmi Note 4 has the same problem (and a quite similar panel), but with kcal I was able to do big improvements to the screen. I attach an example.
LEFT -> Redmi note 4 calibrated RIGHT -> Mi a1 hope you can appreciate the difference, it's not easy to show it in camera

I see what you mean... still i don't think there is much of difference for an ordinary usage.. for such low level device I don't think we (I) should have expect anything different and in the end ... it is still an old IPS technology so for really sharp and accurate colors - AMOLED. In the end it is a matter of taste and as this device is yours you should be able to modify it up to your taste.
I find colors of mine very close to what Nexus 5x delivered, which was supposed to be very accurate. AMOLED is usually anything but calibrated, punchy & nice, but not accurate. But there seems to be a great variation of different LCD panels in Mi A1, so I was probably the lucky one..
Hey Folks, while working on My next Snappatch Version was i able to fix the biggest Problems on the XZ Premium which should also affect other Xperias. Here are the main Points:
-Camera Noise (Solved)
-Display Quality (Solved)
-Audio Output Quality (Solved)
-Microphone Handling (Solved)
In conlcusion:
I added and enabled some Camera Services and Functions to enhance the Quality and to allow full Google Camera Mod Support.
I added and enabled Display Services and Functions to deliver a more Natural Output besides HDR Support and Adaptive Backlight capabilities.
I added and enabled Audio Services, Functions and Libraries from Qualcomm and SONY Oreo Firmwares to enhance the Output Quality over all Sources like Videos, Music and the main System.
Last but not least better Microphone Handling. Adapted and ehanced from many Android Devices and Qualcomm Documentations to deliver better Recognition and Input Quality over both Mics on top and bottom of the Device.
Nothing against switching from Stock to AOSP anymore. The benefits of Snappatched AOSP over Stock are huge. Latest SDK, full Substratum Support, better Audio and Visual Quality (In and Output), better Performance (Shadowgun Ledgends on Ultra - 60FPS, No heat, no glitches), more freedom of UI Layouts, better App Support, faster Storage Speeds, newer Kernel, Smoother UI, Adaptive Icon Support, Pixel Features and so on. The Snappatch for the XZP is coming soon and i Hope i can raise the Interest on AOSP on Xperias with this!
Forget Stock! This is the next Level! Love My XZP now...
Stay tuned and try it by Yourself!
I hope that you are right. But i want to try it very bad want i want a good working aosp! I CANT WAIT!!!
I'm on 8142 dual SIM I'm willing to try too
:cyclops: Ufff!!! sounds amazing !!! can't wait to test it
G8142 here also. Can't wait to try this out
I think I will unlock my bootloader ?
Can't wait for some reviews
I would really like to get some advanced Feedback and compares between Stock and AOSP. RAW alone should be worth the Bootloader unlock and going away from Stock. SONY does a really great Job on the Sources for our AOSP Bases and everything runs really well compared to other Devices like from LG. One Thing that really bothers Me is the buggy TWRP on our XZP. CPU Temp isn't showing right, MTP fails 90% of the Time and AROMA has a Displaying Bug. Since the Snappatch is coming with My own crafted AROMA Installer will we face a invisible Utility, but i will make a Video showing how to easily flash the Patch anyways on our Devices (Side by Side with working AROMA on the Axon 7).
Hope @Myself5 can solve the TWRP Issues one Day, and that more Users will pay attention to him and his Work on our Forums! Thanks a lot Mate for contributing that much to our Devices, and Sorry for People like this "FartyParty" Guy! Much respect for You, i know how it feels to be on XDA sometimes...

She had a Hard Time and is now caring My Grandma which is diseased. I think she would be very thankful and happy about some Donations based on My Work here. I will talk to her and if it's ok do i share her Paypal Address on My Thread or Signatur somehow. Think that would be a nice Idea if You're also ok with that!

Strange. I Googled a lot about this and this was always a Issues with some TWRP Recoveries. Most of the Time did it helped to use older TWRP Images but the last one gives just a Black Screen after booting into it. I will test a Copy of My old Light Patch again and take a look on whats different! Thanks for the Hint!

If it possible release your patch for less than 5 hours because my internet time is going to end.please.
How was RAW support achieved?
From what I've seen, this wasn't possible before because there were no drivers that enabled that with the used camera chip.
And there's still one thing missing; SloMo support. Is there a chance this can be added as well?

I had trouble with the Camera Configs (Camera not starting anymore), but solved it and added more of them. Last remaining Problem are Issues with Google Service Audio (Music and Video not playing due to failing Audio Configs). Think i need more Time to solve this, but the release is close...

It's all there on AOSP. Camera2 API is supported but not configured right (There are X Lines for the Cameras), i've seen the same on the Z1 and Z3 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...ussion-development-custom-rom-t3479108/page11) some Years back, and i was sure it's all depending on this right now. Other Xperias may have the same Camera Problems since AOSP is coming with just the barely minimum of Build Properties and Configs. That's also the Case on the most other Devices and AOSP based ROM and one of the Reasons for doing My Patch. Some missing Things are causing Issues (Like Microphone Problems), and others do just bring a lack of Features (Like with the Camera and Display, Audio, etc.).
It's pretty Time intense to test all this Entries and Values but it's really worth the Time. And if i would do a OS would i start with that Things before changing the Kernel and adding ROM Features, but i can only talk for Me. Not sure how much Time ROM Devs put into building of AOSP for the own Devices, but i work for sure at least 40 Hours on One Major Release of My Patch (Including copying, flashing, testing and editing).
AROMA was also really Time Intense but i removed the Installer over Night and edited the Updater Script to flash the recommended Options without it. Here is a little List of what gets flashed:
-Original Oreo Pixel Bootanimation
-Original Oreo Pixel Ringtones, Alarms, Notifications
-HTC U 11 UI Sounds, Ringtones, Alarms, Notifications
-Prop Patch (Including many changes and Configs)
-Snappatch Core System (Including the mainly needed Content)
-Snappatch Audio System (Based on XZ Premium Oreo Stock)
-Snappatch Emojis (EmojiOne replacement Font)
-Magisk Stable V16
-Busybox with many Applets, SElinux & Magisk Support
-GApps (Barely minimum Set)
And that's it for now. It includes all of the Features of the Patch, less optional but i can ensure a great Experience with this Setup! Like said am i now about to fix the last Bugs which are Audio Config related and after that will come the Thread with the new Release. Hope You will like it Folks!

Stupid xda -__-
Keep up the good work brother
I'm done for now! Release is in the next 24 Hours...
Changelog can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ak5DsenMjuSyypPBAjQact6MhtsE2MRFlvCHLTn9uHA/edit?usp=sharing
I removed the Audio System for now due to Issues with Xperias AOSP ROMs but i'll work on it again after releasing the actual Patch. Sounds already a lot better even without the replacement Libs and Configs! Stay tuned...

Thank you so much!
This is the official Feedback/Troubleshooting Thread for the Xperia XZ Premium. Feel free to discuss about the Patch, and to ask for Help if You face Problems or Bugs on Your Device. Stay friendly, be respectful and keep the XDA Rules in Mind!

Not a bug or anything, just letting people know that the first boot will take a while. Don't worry if it sits at the pixel boot animation for longer than a few minutes.
hello, it's for an opinion, I'm with Carbon ROm and SNAPPATCH, I have a concern:
* 1) with the autofocus of Open Camera .... autofocus has trouble with close subjects, I tried all focus modes but it's still the same, typed 15 times its screen to have a correct focus, my photos always come out with just a little blurry (and with luck no ...)
2) when taking the picture, the clarity of the screen is still there but to view the picture the intensity of the screen drops a little bit and does not give the effect of having taken the same picture, it's normal ?
So, thank you for a nice answer and good work on SNAPPATCH

Thanks for You constructive Post! There are a lot of Configs and i'm not even aware of what the best Values would be. Means a lot of testing and finetuning for the next Time. At all is it already a good upgrade but i can confirm that there is still a lot to do and to figure out how what works and which Configs are the best. I'm also looking around to get HDR Video Recording and i already made some Steps in the right Direction like it seem. I'll keep You informed on the Main Thread and the Changelogs when something changes or improves! Hope You can live for now with the Camera...

When trying to install Substratum, its getting half way done building the overlays, seems stuck. Any ideas?
BTW Im hitting the 8.1 and build & enable
Also what a good app to use to change those kernel numbers
Tested it: performance is much slower than stock. Geekbench shows 60% less performance.
Wifi is stronger.
No X-reality.
Safe charging doesn't exist.
Camera is very good, but the focus is off, cannot take pictures of nearby objects.
Back to stock for me

You don't even tried the Real World Performance such as Task switching or Gaming Performance? X-Reality? Sounds not like testing for Me...
And what is Safe Charging? It does Quick Charge (3.0) as Safe as Possible. Otherwise would it just start heat up or totally stops the charging since there is a Controller for such Things.... Besides that seems the Device to stay a lot Cooler while Charging (Booted in Android).
Don't get Me wrong. But Posts like this are the Stone on the Development Grave here. It just tells People that something is sh**, and they don't even think about to try it out. Half of the Posts i see on the Xperia Forums are non Sense, complaining, or feature request. That's isn't helpful to anyone and just keeps Devs from joining the Development here. See the TWRP Thread from Myself5 or the Kernel Thread from AndroPlus (Both long Time Contributers). It's a wonder that Myself5 is still providing his Carbon Builds on the Forums....
To be honest, besides the ROM from Myself5 and My Patch is there nothing great to find for the XZ Premium. If You can't believe that go back to Nougat or use this trashy ROM from Turbo which contains non working "Tweaks" and seems to be 90% based on Superrs Kitchen without additional Optimizations (My 5 Years old Brother can do that). Just removed some Content and Copy - pasted a Kernel with the DRM Fix. It's sad...
And before i start to talk more about the Problems here am i out for now. New Patch is up and i'm looking forward to more Enhancements which You will NEVER get on Stock!

Thanks for You nice Words Mate! I really take My at off to You for Your calmness! I'm 24 now and around 6 Years posting on XDA. I still can't accept that XDA has changed over the Years, and i think that's My Problem. It's not the Users Fault, XDA just mutated to another Place and no one can change that except for the Owners of this Site. And i don't see that coming. XDA is still under Construction since Years (DEV DB, Thread Features, Site Designs, Post Editing), and there is no End...
I looked often around for other Places to share My Work, but looks like i have to live with that here... At least do i know that here are still some Friendly Devs and Users, and that's what keeps Me here at the End. So Thanks again for Your Post! And keep You also up Your ROMs! It would be really Silent in our Forums without You...

After days of using,here's my simple feedback.
(G8142,lastest official CarbomROM)
1.Battery life is as good as,if not better than that of stock.
2.When slipping the screen,it lags.(compared to stock)
But i believe it is the rom to be blame.
3.Actually game performance is not good,for example,Fate/Grand Order and HearthStone,the animation of which lags.
4.The Pixel-like UI is cool! i love it.
keep developing,and i will stay on AOSP

Thanks for Your Feedback!
I can't tell if the Patch is causing it or not, but it runs just well on My Axon 7 using AOSP Extended. Same for Gaming or Multitasking. Graphic intensive Games are running more fluid and with less heat, and the App switching is much faster. But i see the Lags all few Seconds on the XZP. Are You also using the Carbon ROM?
Think i will try out pure AOSP after some sleeping...
And yes, i will continue the Development! There is much left to do, and i think a own AOSP OS from Me including many of the Patch Features will also come in the next Time (AOSP Project for Xperia Devices). At least at this Point should be all Lags be part of the past...
Hope to see You around again! BR
Try change g google play services and the lag will go.

hey, i have tried the latest AOSP by SonyAOSP team,and now i am on it.
It is smoother than stock,without any lag.
however i could not boot into recovery,which makes me unable to flash the latest Snappatch.
i think we are getting closer to it...

Great to hear so far, but what's the Problem with Your Recovery? Mine works fine here...
Have You tried flashing the last One from TWRP.me with Fastboot? The Patch should not affect it in any way. So it's a really strange Issue... ?

Yes indeed, with yesterday compiled Sony AOSP TWRP is broken.
With the whole source from the end of March all was fine. But I got weird errors with this patch which rendered the phone unusable at all.
Sadly I have no clue how to debug a recovery. TWRP only worked before first boot.

Stock ROM users, so little annoying to use ColorOS, but ok. Need to get used to it.

Well source code will be released in December and it'll take few months for devs to create custom roms. So I'd say even the ones who always use their devices with custom roms/kernels will need to stick with Color OS for half a year ? I'm not too jolly about it but it's something I can use to experience stock rom and experience so I'll be able to share native opinions here.
Color OS is not half bad. Though it has horrible memory managament and aggressive app policies plus security. It's kind of a feature that comes with devices imported from China. After all the government still has to censor and regulate things thanks to Communism. I'd say you can get used to their Android skin. The only thing that is bugging me is how strict their third party app security is. It won't allow to install a lot of apps and will scan each app for half a minute before installing. You can't even turn off this kind of strict app censure unlike Xiaomi devices with MiUi skin.

Don't be. It's close not as bad as sounds. I used it with ease for more than a week even though I'm an advanced user who uses magisk and lucky patcher for debugging reasons all the time and Color os has made it really difficult for me to use them. If you're an average user color os can be a fine daily driver. Even though it has stupid memory, battery management it can still last a day. I've successfully ditched color os thanks to @thesprintster for his unofficial lineage os I can live with a near-stock aosp like experience with face unlock, fingerprint, lucky patcher, magisk working fine. The only thing that custom development couldn't solve (yet) is the 48mp camera which comes with color os. If you're the type of person who uses high resolution pictures all the time I advice you to stay on Color os. If you can live without it(like I do) I can fully help and guide you how to install lineage or aosip rom on your rm5p or rmq. It's up to you whether or not you buy this device but for me it was a best buy for 164$ and I don't regret buying it even though I've bricked my device like 10+ times in the early testing period.

Thank you very much. Unfortunately, I removed it from my basket, was going to buy it on AliExpress' 11.11 sale and decided not to.
Good to know that it's not all doom and gloom. Probably have to wait for more dev work if Realme open things up.
How's AOSIP working on this phone? Using the AOSIP Pie ROM on my current phone and having no end of problems now - random reboots, boot loops out of the blue and battery drain (Honor 5X - old device I know...)
Thanks again.

Everything is fine. Just as it should be. I've tried like 7+ gsi roms and now aosip and lineage. All of them works fine and without issues. I've been on lineage for a week and battery/performance is way superior to stock chingchong color os ?*
ColorOS is pure ?. Heard that android 10 will be close to stock android.. really? Saw the screenshots recently.. same colorOS crap! Why they make based on colorOS? Cook up a ui based on aosp and call it stock android. I think actually realme misleading buyers that they are going to implement "Close to stock android"!!??
