The 10 V is not yet in subscription mode. It is a free preview - since everyone know it isn’t finished.
Which is still just Android. Perhaps like Brave is to Chrome, but certainly no Firefox.

Sailfish OS 5 RC5 on the way… (??) 
08:21:23 <flypigSailfishOS[m]> Good to hear about RC5. Is it an OTA update for all official devices?
08:22:34 <pvuorela> flypigSailfishOS[m]: let's see, hoping we could get this released finalized for all soon.
08:22:36 <ExTechOp> Like flypigSailfishOS[m] asked, do we have any more info on firmware updates to Sony Xperia 10V ?
08:24:08 <pvuorela> i think there were some udpates but also some problems just using new blobs. might require some changes elsewhere. or something on that direction.

Yes, fingers crossed, the last reply when specifically asked for the V was a bit vague, but in the end its also in their interest to sell some licenses, more sooner than later
I have a pixel 4 graphene Os
I bought myself a brand new pixel 7. Barely unpacked ’ immediately on graphene os.
I had some minor problems during the Abdroid 14 update
But nothing alarming. Everything works very very well. several users. One user with google another without google. Another with Android Cars. Yet another user only for banking applications. And yet another for the Nfc to take the metro … Compared to my C2 or my Xperia there is no photo. I use the graph os camera app which works very well on appAndroid But I really like SaifilshOs.
As clearly written in Release notes. We, community wanted that. As Sony just released their blobs it might improve soonish.

As long as it’s not buggy as for C2 I can wait.
Plus, today I received my third 10III for mama as Christmas gift. My second 10III is now a week old. So I don’t mind at all

Hi Matt5,
I have, and all is working on par with the other models. I think.
I did initially enable the second sim, but since then I have reflashed and have not since done so again.

Juz, there was some discussion a while ago on the 10 IV thread about enabling dual sim. I was sure I’d read someone had managed it but couldn’t find the steps or the results. Was that you? Would you mind sharing what you had to do to make it work?
Edit: Found it! Thanks!

That’s great!!
I gave up in July/August and have just come back (I bought it in May)
Do you have any recommendations or a link to follow?
I will get it out the box & try today (no updates & android 13 i think).
That link was good. I’ve never done a SF install (only bootloader unlock & change to global for mi mix 3 when i bought new).
Has someone posted a link for instructions for 10v 72 (dual sim)?
I’m not a coder and arm worried about wrong android, binaries and editing the config.
You need to download the SFOS 4.6.0.15 files from here. Then follow the below steps to patch the installer to work with the 72 variant.
After that you can follow the steps in the appropriate PDF from the link above to flash SFOS as normal.

Thanks very much.
Hahaha good old Telstra. I remember them when i lived in Aust (& their high prices).
Hey guys are you using Android 13 or 14?
Downloaded SF image
I have been learning about TA partition & DRM keys.
Downloaded Xperifirm & downloading 68.0.A.0.829 firmware (72 for SEAsia)
Then putting NewFlasher.exe into firmware directory created by XperiFirm tool.
Then follow
After I have DRM I will follow PDF instructions
You do not have to worry about the TA partition and DRM keys, they get restored if you revert to Android.

Really?
Hours of learning (people said they’re deleted once u unlock the bootloader and if u revert back to android u won’t have them).
I have the firmware and just put Flasher in there, deleted the 4 sin files (https://xdaforums.com/t/flashing-firmware-with-newflasher-on-xperia-1-iii-without-losing-data.4341413/)
and was just about to start.
So just forget about it?

I reflashed multiple times between Sailfish and Xperfirm / Newsflasher my 10 V.
Currently it is with a rooted version of Android without Google Play and stuff, for Magisk I needed tge SIN files for Kernel patching.
If you keep these files, they are rather small anyway, based on my experience it should be safe to switch back and forth between Sailfish and Android flashing

I am really sad, but have to say it’s getting time to look for another OS. There is no visible progress again and that for this not even new device.
Months passing by, at first Sony has been blamed for the missing blobs (not that there wouldn’t be other devices with better support for open development as well), then again plain nothing and that for almost 2 months now since they have been released.
Again no feedback, no reports, no sign that they even care.
There has been a lot of complains about the missing feedback and about that there are no progress reports and in between it seemed to become better, but it didn’t stay this way.
My impression that this entire project is dead is very much confirmed. I started this topic in Sep’ 23…!
Can’t say I’m angry or something but plain disappointed and tired.

What OS are you thinking about?
