RIP 1 V, [Derpfest ROM 16.2] · spacealtctrl .NET

Dropped the Xperia 1 V in the sink. Tried drying it out for days… still dead. So that’s the end of the Sony daily.

No more pdx234 kernel, ReSuki or microG Installer work for now. Was fun while it lasted.

Moving to a Pixel with GrapheneOS. Got the 10 Pro coming in a few days.
Just want something solid for privacy without constant device-specific patching.

Might still tinker with kernels later (I may get another 1 V in future), but for now this chapter’s closed.

-
I have left here the last Stable Derpfest ROM (with microG) I worked on for those I promised it to.
I had only tested this updating from crDroid ROM, never from a full wipe.

God why I've bought this device just now ?!!

At least there is still LineageOS but DerpFest was really an amazing ROM.

If you want I got a dead Xperia 1 V that died in the water... Yeaaah with two phone dead the same way I'm not sure if this is helpful if I send it over to you.

I really wanted to take a Xperia just because it's the last powerful device WITH an SD card slot, when my old phone died the only thing I had left was the SD card so it was important for me to keep this.

Good luck for the future.

🤣️
Both crDroid 12.11 and Derpfest 16.2 are really solid ROMs for now.

I still have the Xperia in rice and living in hope.
I will keep my eye out on eBay, they are getting cheaper second-hand.
I've just blown $800 on a new SSD, so maybe a couple of months before I can justify getting another.

Sir its include BRAVIA engine/X-Reality?

ˢᶜᵒᵗᵗඞ⁩🛸 → @Anonymous 30 Jul 2026, 12:30

I didn't get that far. Dolby Atmos is included however. I will be back to bring the Xperia 1 V to Android 17. 🙏

If flashing over an existing CR install does it need to be flashed through Recovery or will the update from storage option still work, even though the ROM is technically different?

I would suggest installing from recovery menu.
Let me know how you get on with it 😁

Hi, did anyone flash from Derpfest to LineageOS? I think ill give it a try...

Hello, I flashed this ROM, it's great, thank you for your help. Which Sukisu? Which AnyKernel3? I'm a first-time Sukisu user and don't know much about it.

latest Sukisu: https://crdroid.spacealtctrl.net/pdx234/15062026/SukiSU_boot/

or Try ReSuki-Ultima here: https://spacealtctrl.net/blog/ultima

Thanks, it’s all set up now, much appreciated! But I’ve run into an issue: whenever I try to set notification tones, ringtones and so on, the app crashes as soon as I open the relevant page.

Can't say I ran into same issue. Maybe worth running ROM install again and testing. Just in case the error occurred during the install.

I’ve re‑flashed the ROM, but the problem persists. Phone ringtone, default notification sound, and default alarm sound are all set to none. Tapping any of them causes an immediate crash.
ˢᶜᵒᵗᵗඞ⁩🛸 → @77 24 Aug 2026, 17:08

I will look into this once I have another 1 V in my hands.
77 → @ˢᶜᵒᵗᵗඞ⁩🛸 24 Aug 2026, 18:43

Okay, it must be a ROM‑related issue. I've re‑flashed it multiple times, but the notification sound is always "note". Moreover, tapping it triggers an immediate crash.

Does the last build have a fix for TEE like this thread https://xdaforums.com/t/fixing-tee-for-unlocked-devices-and-the-story-behind-play-integrity-being-broken-on-stock-rom.4773867/ ? I'm still on the last CRDroid update and my RCS died a couple of days ago and this seems to be the only viable fix. Tricky Store and all the other fixes don't seem to be working for me. I'd like to make the jump to this build but want to avoid fighting the same issue.

Open up termux (Make sure termux has root in your current root manager)
Type 'su' - enter, then type either 'teefix' or 'fixtee' - enter.
The fix may well still be on the last crDroid ROM.
Make sure you have a working keybox before you do this! Then restart. I may have left fix in there. I think I remember getting 'X' to sign in on v12.11 - Please let me know if this works for you.
