[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] cjoenic:
hello guys. i have some issue with video recording audio. its really bad. its like low bitrate quality 3gp/amr audio.

just a hunch, i think this has to do with fluence (some sort of noise cancelation technology by qualcomm)

yes im using custom rom (specificlaly im using NOS 19 06 2017) BUT... hear me out first..

in the old build of other rom such as RR and NOS, the audio is really great and very close quality to stock miui rom. crisp an clear audio.

then lately (since mid may) all those roms build somehow adapt to something caused the audio on video recording to drop significantly.

yes, you may tell me to use the old build. but the old build is not really as buttery smooth as today, not to mention lots of bug been fixed in latest build, great battery life too, and miui is not really an option.

i believe for those who use custom roms like i do,having this issue as well. ive tried AEX, RR, PureNexus. all have this issue.

i hope someone out there who familiar with this issue know whats going on with this roms audio implementation. perhaps, could work out some solution.

example of the audio can be viewed in the youtube video link below. all using stock camera.

bad audio on 03 october 2017 build (oreo):

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] sreekantshenoy:
If you would like to get the best camera and video quality, then surely for the MIUI cuz that will only give you the best audio quality with any recording. Alternatively you can try the Google Camera HDR+, although it crashes quite often! That too is good.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] wysentanu:
Any solution? I'm facing this issue too.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] benjaminzer:
This issue is like Nexus 5, except there isn't any solution around until now.

Magisk modules and other zips do not work. Flashing new firmware prior to flashing NOS did not do justice either. Disabling Google Now should not be the solution, for if that isn't the problem in NOS March build, then it has to be something else.

I tried to discuss about this in few groups outside XDA and surprisingly it did not come to their attention.

Bottom line is, if there's anyone who can fix this, I'd even give a fee.

The link below may give pointers on how to go about fixing the issue, but it is not for RN3

I just dislike the idea of going back to a build so old just for better mic quality. However if there are any AOSP ROMs whose mic quality is still good, you can let us know as well

Hi Guys,

I would like to know if it is possible to root the G930F without loosing data on Nougat.

Been reading around and everyone says Cf auto root will not delete my data, however, from what i understand you need adb enabled (dev) and oem unlock needs to be turned on.

If i turn on OEM unlock will this erase my data?

Thank you!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MAX 404:
Hi

You can root without deleting you data , format data is only necessary if you want to use your data partition from TWRP , like flash a mod from the partition data ( and or modify this partition). Partition data is encrypted and twrp can not read Samsung encryption
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] tampitzel:
Thanks, but I am still reluctant to do it. I keep reading in the Cf AutoRoot thread and people on S7 and nougat keep ending up with bootloops. At one point, this guy says that nougat encrypts your system partition and cf root is not able to write in it, thus, you end-up in bootloop. Apparently the method is to flash twrp, cf auto root, and dm no verity something (i am guessing it lets you boot from an unencrypted partition or something). at this point, i do not want to flash my system partition since all i want is to enable on screen navbar and pixel launcher as system. Thanks again, I will try to research some more, maybe i was in the wrong thread or something.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MAX 404:
Hi

Encryption is in the Data Partition not System

If you allow System modification ( swipe right TWRP) and the installed kernel is not patched you need to flash DM Verity to avoid bootloops
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] NaCorL:
Use this. The only thing it removes is the lockscreen, which you can turn back on later. I've used it after many factory data resets and it works perfectly.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmacsouris:
My buddy got this phone for his gf so that she could use it overseas. The phone was in bad shape when he got it and I was able to to flash a custom rom Phonesis and it seemed to work fine. Out of the blue, the wifi and bluetooth stopped responding. So I now have this phone again and I am about ready to toss it.

I restored to factory using Kies 3.2. When it rebooted, the soft keys did not work. I installed the idlekernal for canadian models using Odin and that fixed that. Soft keys now work. Camera is not working. Wifi will not turn on. If it does, it sees my networks but will not allow it to connect. Bluetooth does the same thing.

I am not sure what I am missing as the phone has been restored twice and I have cleared the cache, reset everything and rebooted.

Does anyone have any recommendations or can recommend a working recovery and rom that will let her use the camera and wifi.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] chorba69:
Just a question. I've been using my RN4 for cca. 2 months now and I am really impressed with the device.

My question is; Why would you flash an AOSP/CM/whatever ROM, if MIUI works without problems and the device's speed is really great too?

My last device was LG G2, and there was a big difference in terms of speed between Stock LG ROM (all the stupid apps) and CM, but here, I dont know if you would get that much on speed.

Also, that "free" MIUI cloud backup is great, camera with those effects is cool too. I've not encountered a single problem with my stock/not rooted RN4 (Snapdragon).

There are other cool MIUI features, which are not in other AOSP/CM ROMs included. (maybe in RessurectionRemix but still)

What are your thoughts about this one?

Is there a big difference in speed, camera, battery between stock/not rooted and rooted CM/AOSP ROM?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] asusm930:
for me its how they handle notification and multitasking. Too agressive with killing apps. No one finger expand. Outdated emoji support. If they fix all that i'd gladly switch back to MIUI
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] schlagg:
Imho the UI sucks.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] booyah@rc:
Because MIUI just ****s up the material design, doesn't regard the default notification in AOSP, have aggressive memory management and **** cheetah apps disguised as normal system apps.

If I have to give two reasons for using custom ROM:

1. Overall look and feel of material design

2. Notification handling in AOSP Nougat, it is the most

beautiful thing ever happened to Android.

In the end its users choice whether to stick to stock ROM or flash custom ROM depending on their experience.

Oh XDA censors curse words!!

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] MattCB72:
I use Resurrection ROM 5.8.3 and it is rock-stable. But RR is Lineage-OS-based, not AOSP.

My reason to use a Custom-ROM: with MIUI I can't use my Samsung Gear Fit 2. The Gear-App doesn't start in all MIUI-based ROMs. With AOSP/LineageOS-ROMs no problems.

Miui has lots of bugs that take forever to be fixed.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] ojankun:
MIUI have a lot of spyware in their bloatware apps. Which I don't like.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] abrahamt24:
MIUI is like pre-GraceUX Touchwiz.

Lots of interesting features but not polished, and there's no consistency across the whole UI.

For the free cloud backup, Google's Drive and Photos are better in my opinion, you can sync your contacts and messages as well.

As for the camera, I'm happy with the Camera2API on AOSP ROMs.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Cezar`:
Because if you also have an iPhone you don't need MIUI ?

Kidding aside, there's a lot of reasons why AOSP is better than MIUI and there's a lot of reasons why MIUI is better than AOSP.

I personally prefer AOSP (Slim 7 specifically) because of it's speed and general lack of complications.

I don't like being asked by the SMS app if I'd like to send my SMSs to the Xiaomi servers, or my pictures, or every time I'd use some app that used the internet to be forced to accept some privacy policy.

I want Android, clean, no bull$$1t. That's where Slim won my heart. I tried other AOSP ROMs as well but I got disappointed with the lack of responsiveness caused by features that should make your life easier but the phone slower. Also all ROMs using the substratum theme engine have an easily perceived delay in operation.

If you'd like to stick with MIUI, then go for the nougat development version. The increase in responsiveness is considerable compared to the stable version based on marshmallow.

Nonetheless, if you want the same security as on an iPhone or more expensive Android phones, do not unlock your bootloader at all. The simple fact that your bootloader is locked will render your device useless to a thief. Although he may not know that before he steals it...

Not So easy... I go to TWRP with some ROM's Pre-Downloaded onto a SD Card and go to flash them when i notice when i try selecting a partintion it says 0mb , Think maybe its just a weired temp bug and flash or atleast try to flash a new rom and keep on saying the same sadly

E; Unable to Mount Data

E; Unable to Mount System

E; Unable to Mount Cache This has been going for about a few weeks now with no avail and think this would be a nice forum to ask for some help , Other things to add are...

Hello,

I have the LEX720 with the original EUI 5.9 rom. I'm not really interested by changing the whole Rom, putting TWRP, rooting the device, etc. it feels a bit dangerous considering the number of posts here of people saying they bricked their device. But I wonder if there's a way to disable the original apps with Chinese crapware in them?

For instance, I replaced most original apps with the Google counterparts (calendar, music, dialer, etc.) as default, but is there a way to completely disable the original apps?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] testreaper:
Nope.Aside disabling the ones that system lets you the other can not be stopped/removed. You need to either root so you can remove/disable bloat or install a rom without bloat(be it stock or w/e). There is really no way to brick your device with unlocked bootloader unless you do not know what you are doing. And even if you do, its not difficult to unbrick, hell i even unbricked my phone with a different bootloader and other radio files without an efs backup. You just need to make a backup with all partitions(efs,boot,system,firmware if not included in the efs etc) and w/e happens you can roll back to it.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] ZeblodS:
I finally decided to flash the latest 5.9.026s on my phone.

Phone was already unlocked, just flashed TWRP 3.1.1, backup everything, wiped cache dalvik and data (to start fresh), flashed official 5.9.026s and SuperSU 2.82.

It went really easily, no surprise whatsoever.

Had to install gapps_v2.apk to get Google services, and then removed a bunch a Chinese bloatware (Link2SD with root) and replace a few original apps by Google counterparts (Gmail, Messages, Calendar, Contacts, Chrome, Marshmallow original dialer, etc.) / Nova Launcher / Swiftkey / etc. and moved them as System Apps. I also replaced the default Splash and Bootanimation with non Chinese ones (found here on XDA).

But here's the catch: I'm certain there still are Chinese bloatware remaining, as I left every apps I wasn't sure about.

Where can I find the list of all apps that are safe to uninstall on this EUI Rom?

I want to keep everything that could break the UI though (Personlize, Theme Store, Phone Manager, etc.)

Good morning!

One of the things I use on my LM2 is the slow motion video. But the quality is quite low (I'm assuming the 120fps are achieved by either interlacing the footage or filming at a low resolution and then upscaling it) and I don't know if this is an hardware or software limitation.

I tried Open Camera and other apps, but I can't get more than 30fps out of them.

My two questions are:

- Are there other camera apps capable of 120fps (or more) on this phone, preferably with better quality?

- How do the alt ROMs fare in this aspect? One of the things keeping me away from custom ROMs is the fear of losing this feature.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] Pawprints1986:
But ive heard that earlier versions of android can be security risks... is that true? What if you never do anything critical like banking on your phone?

Ive been toying with the idea of trying a custom rom (that someone else already built lol), but, i absolutely despise the standard android toggles that are only like 3 per row and take up the whole screen. theyre massive. i LOVE how the stock touchwiz keeps everything all on the one screen in the notification drawer. Are there any roms that use this same compact design? without having the 2 screens?

ive also been toying with trying to add ram using a partitioned SD card. but i have a few quesitons about that too. first being that ive heard that you cant access your SD card by computer anymore.... so with that being the case, how do you go about backing up the data on your SD card just in case the card fails? has anyone done this successfully with this phone?

i love the small physical size of this phone, i have small hands. and newer phones, much like roller coasters, are shooting for the biggest tallest on the market it seems. im an ambidextrous swiper so even to smoosh the keyboard to one side is a pain... id be forever going into settings to switch sides. i have a tablet i do this with, its quite irritating. but the glide i can reach using either hand on full width for the keyboard. and once in a while, i do still use the physical keys :)

oh! also... i have played with an S5 mini (but a fake i suspect)... my captivate glide does certain things, like greenify apps, faster... for it being newer and higher ram (a bit) it doesnt seem all that... higher. so at least for the time being, im going to stick with my good ol captivate glide. the s5's haptic feedback is lousy too and thats become a feature that i just cant live without (for swipe and typing especially, but i like it for the touch buttons too). also not a fan at all of the tiles for notifications, i much prefer just having the icon up in the corner. and my screen lock does something the new one doesnt... it doesnt instantly require your pattern again even though you did power the screen off with the button. so many little things, i just LOVE about captivate glide.

Ive rambled a little but i hope anyone who has tried can point me to the best rom, if im not best off with sticking with stock touchwiz, which is what ive done until now.

if anyone still also using this phone has any tips that would be great :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] eMPee584:
I'm also determined to keep it, but primary because of the hardware keyboard, which you seemingly are not using?

If you have become accustomed to your current setup, bear with it as long as you can. Yes custom ROMs are fun and glorious, but flashing and configuring can be a PITA and it doesn't sound you're the tech-savy nerd willing to fight it through.

So just go on & stick with the stock ROM. However if you can, do not use the internal stock browser but a recent Chrome version because of the security fixes it will contain.
