[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] visions84:
Every time i started it, it crashes!

Won't really use it, but its my only solution getting my contacts back from that ****ty .vef file!

The return to a Stock rom is no option for me, because its crashing theire too and isn't stable!

Maybe someone has a solution or advise getting .vef contacts back at oreo!

Thanks already for your help and advises!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeataol:
I just ran into the same thing

The problem is on the "Phone" only contacts of course, the Google ones should be easy to sync.

I used an app from the playstore "App Backup and Restore" Trustlook Inc... which backs up both the phone and the google into one archive

but, I had a running system to create the archive with.

If you don't have a running M8 ....

you could send the vef file (and the password) to someone who has a working m8 or M9 (?)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] visions84:
Yes, i belive it's possible, if i would know one running an M8. HTC support won't help because data protection. Asked today with a customer mail for another solution with a script or tool to convert it!

I have a running m8 with lineageos15 but no way to return to android6, yes i could flash an RUU but this is allways buggy for me and contacts crashes :/
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Did you make a TWRP backup of whatever ROM you were using before Oreo (you should always make a nandroid, and this is one reason why)? If it worked on that ROM, it should still work, if you restore. Then backup the contacts to Google, and flash back to Oreo.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] visions84:
Yes would be a solution, but wondering why HTC doesn't offer any tool for this crap vef files. Hoping to recive one from HTC, but probably only in my dreams! If i should get one i will link it here, for other users had this bad experience too! Still don't get it why HTC using such a crap, with password protected files and vef instead of vcf and no single info about it within the export progress!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Ascertion:
It looks like sometimes Spotify will just cut out and stop streaming music at times. I haven't had this issue with any of my previous devices. I find it hard to believe it's related to the network in my area. Anyone know if there's battery saving profiles that may be enabled by default? I checked Battery Stats > Optimization and it shows Spotify is unchecked.

I'm on B388 Nougat. :angel:

EDIT: It's done this numerous times now and it always happens at the 6 second mark. Some type of maybe 5 second timeout after the screen turns off?

EDIT2: Looks like the issue was my with Adguard VPN. When I disabled it, the issue went away.

I don't own a Mi A1 yet. But planning to buy one. Today I've found something interesting while searching google. Can anyone test it and let me know if it works? Thanks in advance.

The original post is here.

There is a way to enable EIS on Nexus 5X just as it's enabled in Nexus 6P. It was posted originally on Reddit here.

As EIS is a software thing, so i think the same procedure might work on Mi A1.

1. Edit build.prop

2. Add this line: persist.camera.eis.enable=1

3. Reboot

4. Go to Google Camera settings --> Resolution & Quality

5. Check "Enable video stabilization"
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] anubhavrj2:
the camera app on mi A1 is customised and controlled by xiaomi unlike google on nexus 5x and 6p so i don't think it will work.If xiaomi pushes an update in the future to enable it then it would be great as they compared this camera to iphone 7 plus and OP5 and both have stabilization enabled on them but this phone doesn't! ;)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] bhagirathan157:
You have to install Google camera app then it will work
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] saikatmitra71:
have you tried it?? :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] bhagirathan157:
Nope but it may work
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] arunmcops:
Doesn't work.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] mobadass:
Just installing the official Google Camera from APK Mirror was enough for EIS to work for me.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] sunshinebhushan:
For me, the Google Camera from apkmirror force closes
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] mobadass:
Did you use https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...amera-4-4-020-163412804-android-apk-download/ ?

I installed the modded HDR+ Google Camera first then uninstalled if that matters.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] sunshinebhushan:
I did used this, can you provide the link for modded HDR+ camera?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] gougous3:
Could you please post the results of using google's hdr camera in comparison to stock ?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] anubhavrj2:
i tried it but the google camera crashes as soon as you open it so you can't try that!
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] gougous3:
By the way, you could try Open Camera and it's stabilization feature.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] rexisrex:
I installed Google hdr+ and open camera...photos are absolutely brilliant with Google camera

...of course the worst is stock mi camera..it just gives artefacts and my unit the focus from that app is way off and everything looked out of focus.

.but getting good shots with Google camera hdr+ and there is electronic image stabilization in Google which should be the reason why mi app photos are really blurred

...am rooted via flashfire SuperSU on September patch. did build.prop edit to make Google camera work. Also made it system app . Else was fc on opening.. now all fine... enjoying my 15k pixel device..hehe..infact I have installed substratum and installed pixel ui as well...only thing I haven't tried is viper yet...but all root apps TB, BusyBox, es file explorer pro, etc working like charm..
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] gougous3:
[MENTION=4793759]rexisrex[/MENTION] I'm willing to take the same steps as you once I get my hands on the device. Could you provide some sample shots of the google camera ? Sample videos with stabilization would be cool as well if that's not asking too much.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] rexisrex:
Sure will upload once I get home in the evening.. I'll upload photos from mi camera, Google hdr+ and open camera..video will upload Google's..
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] rexisrex:
Have attached few samples...didn't have time to go out and take real photos..but this should give an idea..

All snaps are HDR and mi camera photos have HDR in caps at end of file. Google camera shots won't have HDR in file name...paucity of time. So kindly excuse..have taken sample 20sec video from both camera..don't know how to upload.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] rexisrex:
Kindly find my Google camera HDR+...it has video stabilization in options..have video sample but it's still a bit shaky but miles better than Mi video...

But I'm overall impressed with Google camera on this device..mi camera suffers moment light fades.. Google camera excels there..but with software updates mi camera has huge scope to get better..with ideal light conditions it creates good shots but highly exaggerated colors..
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] heehaa123:
The app keep crash
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] rexisrex:
Use the modded camera from here. Install it normally but remove previous versions before.. https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195922284

If still fc, Have you rooted your A1? If no then no luck..

If yes, then you have to do build.prop edit by adding this line

persist.camera.eis.enable= 1

at the end of file, save and reboot..

It Should work now. Camera might fc once even after this hack but from next time works without hiccups. Expect a fc once a while as ours isn't a pixel device;)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Koleykus:
it works for me only if I put this line too:

persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1

but then default camera HDR stops working

plus it looks like I can't make it work anymore
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] saikatmitra71:
try changing that "1" to "0". this should make your default camera work again.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Koleykus:
I tried and it's not working. However didn't you enable it? I can't manage to make that apk work without Camera2 Api activated
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] saikatmitra71:
when I posted this thread, I didn't own an A1. I just shared my thoughts. Now I have one, but haven't started experimenting yet. I'll let you know when I start playing with it.

P.S. I tried it on my old Redmi 3, but didn't even start google camera as like before. Kernel issue, I guess.. :3
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] jack_21:
I have downloaded Google Camera HDR+ Mod, enabled HAL3 and EIS from build.prop and all is working perfectly (HDR in MI Camera also)

Can't understand why Xiaomi didn't enabled EIS by default...

PS: Google Camera HDR+ Mod has by default the option to stabilize the video, but if you don't enable EIS first from build.prop, it won't stabilize anything!
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] chdolodocha@msn.com:
thanks for sharing~
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] mohamadnuman:
can't you tell how to work HDR in default camera?

because in my devices default camera HDR stops working after enabled HAL3 and EIS

thanks
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] jack_21:
It simply works :D

I didn't change anything more
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] engineer000:
EIS is for both videos and camera or video only?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hitm@n1:
Is there a way to work without root?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] rexisrex:
There's something else which is conflicting here..have been flashing and testing twrp mods and have come back from lots of bricks/bootloops. Everytime I setup Google camera and it just works. And HDR mode of Mi camera works too. Don't know what's crashing it..and mi camera is also camera 2api capable..have checked the hardware capabilities of the camera it is level 3 meaning it's camera 2api capable.. check for other conflicting mods.

Noob question: How to create the build prop so that I can use the camera.. though I have rooted,installed xposed
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] amiruddin6521:
You just need to add this line: persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1 in build.prop only.

1. Download File Explorer Root Browser app or any root browser app

2. Navigate to /system , find n open build.prop

3. Add this line : persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1 at the bottom

4. Save and reboot your device

5. Viola, your google camera app working like a charm
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hellrazoraj:
Tried this...Google camera not working..can you give me the APK link through which this method can work.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] amiruddin6521:
You can find the apk through this page https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-hdr-xiaomi-redmi-note-3/ and choose "Download Google Camera Port with HDR+, ZSL, and RAW Capture" to download the apk.

After that install and reboot. It work for me
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hellrazoraj:
Thanks will check with it right away...
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] manu730:
I have the problem too and i don't touch anything more in the build.prop and my apps are normal (whatsapp, twitter, etc). Not using root for any more
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] danielboe:
Google Camera also crashes for me. I tried both APKs from this thread. Only added "persist.camera.HAL3.enable=1" to build.prop
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Methanoid:
So two people have this working and two do not? How can that be... ???
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] jsuln:
Guys, be careful, the code was lost in traslation ..

persist.camera.HAL3.enable=1 ----> be sure to write ENABLED, not enable. That was the problem for me the first time.

I do, however, have the EIS option grayed-out in the settings, although it is turned on and grayed out. Not sure if it works or not, havent compared the video from mi app and google app. Anyone sharing the same issue? The rest of the folks seem to have the option to turn on/off.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] sooti:
EIS only works on 1080p, not 4K, changing it to 1080p will cause it to work again
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] wawing_b:
after reading this thread and another one on GCam HDR+ I can only assume there's a fifty-fifty chance it'll work and not work..

still not sure of rooting my MiA1 to install the GCam HDR+, or wait for an OTA update..
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] NITRO_100:
It will work 100%, if it works on one I will work for everyone.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] ramiwi:
How did you edit build.prop? Im adding this line but cant save the file using root explorer/solid explorer/total commander, and im rooted. Did you mount system as r/w somehow?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] wawing_b:

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] cmk7128:
I was in the same dilemma as yourself ever since I started using my A1 3 weeks ago but I finally took the plunge and went ahead and rooted it and believe me, GCam HDR+ is totally worth it especially for low light shots.

Best regards!

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] wawing_b:
thanks..

I only got mine for a week or so.. I do believe in the performance of the GCam HDR+ itselt.. but somehow I'm still not confident in my ability to root my phone (at the moment) :D

and yes I really want the ability of the GCam HDR+ :rolleyes:
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Methanoid:
Dont own phone (yet) but can someone confirm that when using 1080P video and EIS there is a noticeable improvement? Dont think I have seen anyone actually confirm it does improve matters and not just toggles it as "appearing to be on"
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] danielboe:
EIS works like it should:

Less Picture (needs space for stabilisation)

Much smoother video.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] kyro:
can anyone help me? I have rooted my redmi A1 and using root explorer tried to to add persist line, after reboot, build.prop does not have that line and camera2 doesnt work .

On this thread I see 2 build prop code, so which one works?

persist.camera.eis.enable=1

persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Berlino:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1 (<- this enables Camera2 API for working google camera)

persist.camera.eis.enable=1 (<- this enables electronic image stabilization in settings of google camera)

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] _mysiak_:
EIS doesn't work for 4k videos, check if you have configured 1080p. Google photos can do EIS in post production as far as I remember.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] _mysiak_:
You can't expect miracles, EIS is done by SW and has its drawbacks. If you're not satisfied with Google photos and you don't want to shoot in full HD, then keep you hands steady or buy a phone with OIS (or even better, use a real camera) :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrsegu:
I love A1, for the price point its Amazing. Just pointing that while for photo GCam does wonders, for video stock CAM is more stable, altough without the benefits if GCam sw

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leos0:
Hello, friend of mine gave me bricked sgs3. He told me that he woke up in the morning and the phone was dead. The thing is he wants to recover contacts from this phone. I tried flashing TWRP recovery which boots fine but cant mount any partition, but i can see files in /dev, /license, /proc, /res and /sys via file explorer. Is there any way to access /data partition or the phone is pretty much dead?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
Things to look into:

Mount USB and connect via PC.

Official clockworkmod recovery.

Samsung Kies.

Odin and official firmware.

It depends really on what you mean by "bricked". I have that niggling feeling it's a bootloop and when in recovery you get a load of "cannot mount /x" errors..

If that is the case then the option that worked for me was to change the recovery to an official clockworkmod recovery flashed via odin on a PC (flash twice to be sure, if it 'takes' the first time).

Beamed in by telepathy
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leos0:
Yeah i meant bootloop. Won't flashing a firmware delete all the data i want to recover? He doesn't really care about the phone tbh, just the data

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksuhiyp:
same case

exactly the same case here, i have a soft bricked device with twirp recovery, the recovery cant mount cache or storage to recover data, all i care about is the telegram session the account was activated on a sim i dont have access to and there is extremely important data there

i would consider a small donation if anybody can help here.

Just for reference if anyone else have problems with the audio skipping and driving you crazy. I had a problem with the audio skipping (Spotify etc.) on my XTRONS PX5 6.0 Android head unit, but the problem that bugged me for weeks was simple to solve.

I had upgraded both the MCU and the MTCD files, and left the SD-card in the GPS card slot, with both the update files on the root of the card. When I ejected the card from the slot, the problems ceased. No idea why this worked, but it did.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Ribin Manuel:
Hi everyone, finally a working screenshot method for Samsung galaxy s2 plus

These is not a direct fix for blank screenshot, it uses a 3rd party software (available in play store, not my creation,so I am not taking its credits) :fingers-crossed:

Mheap screenshot patch was the only way to fix screenshot issue in s2+ nougat ROM. But it cases random reboots & some instability

So those who need a temporary fixation for screenshot without any instability or random reboots, can use these app

I own a s2+ (i9105p). Tested on it & working good:)

Play store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icecoldapps.screenshoteasy

Pro version link:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icecoldapps.screenshoteasypro

Limitations :

Need root access for the working of these application

Screen shot will work only on following methods

1. Overly icon

2. Notification icon

3. Shake

Rest of the methods will not work (don't know y.)

Try it & give u r feedbacks

Thanks to [MENTION=8370032]DenNewbie[/MENTION] for giving me a idea about these fix

?

I mean , mheap screenshot patch was causing instability & random reboots in nought ROMs for s2+ . So disabled it in flag. (I got these info from [MENTION=5999439]GHsR[/MENTION] )

But these app is stable & no random reboots & can be used as a temporary fixation for screenshot issue

[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] AnonVendetta:
I'm asking because the US version of the Honor 6X doesn't have NFC, Android Beam, etc. It just seems kind of crappy of Huawei to include this functionality on the European 6X but not on the other variants. What I've read says all the 6X variants have exactly the same hardware, some even say that all 6Xes have a NFC chip even though the feature isn't present in Settings for some. Same for the FM radio. So it would seem that the only difference is model #.

If a rebrand is possible, what else might be affected? The ability to use LTE or VOLTE? Would device compatibility with US GSM carriers change (especially the ability to get 4G, at a minimum)? I think there would be a slight language change too, I would probably have to use UK English instead of US English. But that isn't a big deal, English being my native language, I'm very fluent in it. A slight variation in how something is spelled or whatever won't bother me (i.e. US color vs UK colour).

I also am making the assumption that European editions will have Google apps preinstalled, whereas something like say a Chinese variant probably won't. I hate Google's apps and try to avoid using them, including Play Services and Play Store, but sometimes I must use something I don't like to accomplish a particular purpose.

Any other risks? Is it worth it? I'm also wondering if it will limit the variety of custom ROMs I can install. I hate stock EMUI, I would much rather run something based on AOSP, like LineageOS or Resurrection Remix, etc.

Thanks!
