[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] tsongming:
Happy New Year.

Want to let you know that the updated kernel works great and seems to improve the battery consumption as well. I have also noticed significant improvement to the camera software packaged with paranoid 7.3.1

Its well advertised that the ported Google Camera works well on our devices and the ported version for snapdragon 821 still works.

Many people may not be aware that the GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.2 ported for the One plus 5 has also worked on our LeEco Pro 3. In fact it seemed to work better than it does for the One plus 5 users.

I found out by accident, when I downloaded the ported Pixel 2 version ported for the One plus 5.

That version has an overabundance of features with multiple HDR settings including Zl1 functionality and extremely good slow motion video.

Unfortunately it seems that the latest kernel update has hindered its performance but not completely.

Slow motion still works as does blur, and shots without HDR. When HDR is enabled you can see what looks like log files flickering across the screen.

I am not sure what if anything can be done about the issue with this mod. Especially since it seems that hardly anyone actually uses it. Regardless, I just wanted to bring it to your attention.

Since the ported GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.2 mod works so extremely well with the Le ECO Pro 3 it may be worth the time for you and your team to consider if there is an easy resolution to allow it to continue to work and maybe implement it into a future upgrade.

Of course the easy solution for my situation would to be to restore my last backup. However, I would rather put some time into figuring the issue out and stay with the new kernel.

Thank for your work, and time that you put into development for our devices, it's appreciated.

Cheers.

Yes, I know what you mean about Apple, I worked for them for five years. Although I still use an Apple desktop as my primary computer. I switched to android long ago.

It sounds like you are set... Congrats! You don't really need to have the TWRP app installed. But its nice for quick backups and keeping TWRP up to date.

As far as incremental updates. Install the XDA app on your phone, and subscribe to the forums that you use to stay updated about any add-ons you install. In some cases you can download updates through the XDA app. Magisk also does its updating through the app.

Next, if you go into settings/about phone you will see that Paranoid uses Ota updates.. When they are automatically downloaded you will receive a notification and you just click install.

In some cases you may need to do a clean install, from TWRP.

Feel free to pm me if you need anything, I enjoy helping.

Almost forgot: I use Smart launcher Pro, they have a free version that unfortunately has ads. If you purchase it, you get a 50% discount if you buy from within the settings menu.

I have tried so many launchers. For me Smart launcher is much better than anything else that I have used. Lots of customization options and a lot of excellent free themes. Plus, you can use 3rd party icons.

Smart launcher is very unique compared to other launchers.

One last suggestion, when you get bored of the theming options that come with paranoid.. Checkout Substratum it's great if you enjoying toying with phone customization.

Enjoy your awesome new phone. Everyone in my family has one.
