How to download this file man, when i click it it opens xml tree...

Tell me can it be used on aex 4.4, snapdragon camera has dark video recording and also panoramas.

But oneplus came 2.5.12 records brighter...

Also is slow motion working fine with this camera?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Themes, Apps, and Mods] glasseffects:
1. Installation: View source of xml tree page, copy source, paste in a text Editor and save as media_profiles.xml. Replace original file with file manager. You'd need root. Or install a download manager and then download it as a file.

2. Can't say about AEX 4.4. Works on 4.6 though.

3. Video recorder captures darker videos. Slow motion works but being darker.

Everything is perfectly working except for the camera. The camera is launching 6 seconds everytime I launch it. Due to that, even face recognition is also slowing down. Please suggest me ways to launch my camera app (MIUI 9 Built-in camera) or a better camera app to be flashed !

I already tried google camera and some other camera apps....! They are slow !

So I got the T-Mobile Variant of the LG V30 and ran command to unlock the bootloader and it seems to have unlocked it as well as wiping the data and cache. I know with previous LG devices with T-mobile that the there were no commands to be able to write to the device. Is there anyway to verify if this is the case?

if only i would've seen this earlier because that's what i ended up trying out in adb and boom a voided warranty and i didn't get time to take up the daydream offer since i'm sure they will be able to see i already voided my warranty. :eek: . In the mean time i have pulled a couple of files out like for example system(i used the adb pull /system), vendor( adb pull /system/vendor) and frameworks(adb pull /system/framework). ive just been poking around trying to see if there is any way to find the boot image. any ideas where it could be located?

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
It has been discussed in the

LG V30 Unlock bootloader and Root thread

as well as the more specific

T-mobile LG V30 root effort

thread.

This post (October 7) shows commands a T-mobile LG V30 user tried after unlocking his bootloader:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74080195&postcount=112

And here's other exchanges in that same thread:

With the fastboot commands disabled you need root to install TWRP or you need TWRP to get root, and neither is possible right now.

The posts above are from the more general LG V30 Unlock bootloader and Root -- general because it covers ALL LG V30 models, and it's pretty much agreed only the official carrier unlocked LG V30 US998 and H930 will have "real" bootloader unlock with full ADB fastboot commands. That doesn't exclue that some exploit might be found by devs, but just if you want easy bootloader unlock and root -- like with the

LG G6 carrier unlocked models, which have root, recovery, ROMs, kernels.

_________

However, this is the thread below is to specifically discuss the T-mobile LG V30 root efforts:

T-mobile LG V30: Progress Towards Root/TWRP/ROMs (not achieved yet)

If there's any dev magic, that will be the thread to watch.

Initially the op did not specify he wished to only talk about the T-mobile LG V30 instead of all LG V30 models -- but once we got that clarified (the first few posts on page 1) then that's what the rest of the thread is about.

---------- Post added at 07:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 AM ----------

_______________________

Been discussed in depth since early September in the

bootloader unlock and root thread

-- even before the LG V30 was released. Well known, the

T-mobile LG V30 would have an "unlocked" bootloader -- but it doesn't do any good because the ADB fastboot commands are removed. (September 3)

The official carrier unlocked US998 and H930 models -- the ones NOT sold by any carriers, what LG calls for the "open market" will be placed on the

LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list

AFTER release, and will be eligible for bootloader unlock. They will have full ADB fastboot commands. Just like the LG G6 models then they will

quickly get dev support for root, recovery, ROMs, kernels.

The

official carrier unlocked LG G6 US997 was released May 12, 2017

but was not

placed on the the Bootloader Unlock list until June 29.

SIX WEEKS. However, there's

now tons of dev work available.

Let's hope it doesn't take that long after the LG V30 US998 is released!

Whereas, the

T-mobile LG G6 while ostensibly having an unlocked bootloader still has no root or recovery

. Six or seven months later, still no dev work available.

What tempered glass are you guys using? Bought one from bell but fell off the screen when I dropped my phone and I can't seem to find a decent one on amazon
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rickysidhu_:
I'm using the wet apply one from Amazon. You can see a bit of grain when there is a white background but i don't mind it personally.

I haven't been able to find any good tgsps that cover the display fully and sit properly on the edges.

You also don't get the feel of glass with the wet apply but again, i don't mind it and I'm probably going to stick to it as long as it doesn't start to peel on its own.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] itzik_man:
Currently I am not using any screen protector on my Pixel. Reading reviews from users on Amazon.com, I am waiting for the Amazon.ca to offer the "Dom Glass" screen protector for the Pixel 2 xl version.

Reviews are great, although the glass is expensive (around 60$), covers only the flat portion of the phone and not the round edges (which I really don't care) and the installation process is quite complicated.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] peoplesindian:
I've been waiting forever. I emailed their customer support and replied they are working on shipping to Canada.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Yes this is the only one worth getting, used these on my s7 edge and S8 plus and they are worth the money.

Install is actually very easy honestly just different than the usual.

All that said the companys customer care for Canada is pathetic, they really dont give a crap about us.

I had to wait forever to get the other 2, they wont even ship one for my Note FE here at all and now waiting again for the pixel 2 xl

Get your act together whitestone, you have a great product but everything else comes up short.

I have to say I have never enjoyed an Android phone more. I've had my fair share of phones (Nexus S (Rooted) -> Galaxy Nexus (Rooted) -> Nexus4 (Rooted, still have) -> Nexus5 (Rooted)-> HTC M8 (S-Off, Rooted w/ Google Play Edition ROM) -> Moto X Play (Unrooted) -> HTC 10 (Unrooted, Locked Bootloader, but S-OFF w/ Unlocked ROM to bypass untimely Bell updates) -> Pixel 2 XL) and almost always prefer the minimal, stock experience, and have to say that Google has finally nailed it.

I purchased my device just after Christmas, and love it. That being said, immediately I noticed a bit of blue tint shift, but after using it consistently (I sold my HTC 10 just prior to it's Oreo update, but it was a solid phone) I hardly notice the blue anymore with the Natural/default colour profile. The only other issue I've endured is below ~30 brightness the OLED panel does bad with dark colours, representing most greys as blacks and definitely has the "black smear" others have been talking about since the device launched. Even with these issues (and they are the only ones I've faced) I would never dream of returning to another device. I can consistently get two days battery life with my usage and the performance has been nothing but stellar. I'm hoping the extra 1 year warranty comes in handy later on and that an update gets pushed out to address the display issues some of us are facing.

I grabbed the Play Services Beta which enabled the "check for update" button to actually do something and the Feb update came immediately. :good:

Your experience is identical to mine. I had some crackling with voiced in google assistant and Waze, but it seems to have been fixed at some point. Not sure when.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] i.vt3c.d0hc:
I never had an issue with voice crackling (or any crackling) through either speaker, but did notice the audio through USB-C isn't great when compared to the output I had with my HTC 10. If only there's was Boomsound Pixel Edition. :(

The 5th has definitely become one of my favourite days off the month now that I can check for updates as soon as they come out. :D
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Phazonclash:
Out of curiosity, is the Pixel 2 XL you get from a Canadian carrier different than a Pixel 2 XL you purchase unlocked from the Google Store directly or from an American carrier? That's the case with Samsung phones (specific "W8" variant in Canada, and you can't flash "F" variant firmwares)

I'm asking cause I live in Canada and I purchased a Pixel 2 XL unlocked from the Google Store directly.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] peoplesindian:
Nope, no difference
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
The only difference might be things like Wi-Fi calling, which Telus & Rogers only offer on their own handsets (My Pixel 2 XL was technically a Bell one, and I don't have the option to use Wi-Fi calling on Telus)

Still, uses the same software and everything though

This is very interesting. I bought my P2XL from the Google store and I am using Fido. Once I got the Dec 2017 I was able to use VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling without doing much.

It is very sad that Telus locks their IMS profiles to a phone's IMEI number.

Just sharing my experience.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
VoLTE is available (Enhanced 4G mode) but I don't see the Wi-Fi calling option)

Edit: I'm mistaken - the only phone apparently supported for WiFi calling on Telus is the LG G6:

Ok I'm having issues with getting updates so I think I need to flash the Bell Canada OTA image but I can't seem to find one on the Google site. Does it matter if I use another Canadian image other than bell? Or better yet does anyone have a link for the factory image for Bell?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] chriskwarren:
The Pixel 2 XL factory images and OTA images are here (no Bell specific images available): https://developers.google.com/android/ota
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bill10:
Is it possible to flash the wrong image because in can't get updates. Don't get it if there is specific images for carriers why doesnt it matter which one I flash?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] chriskwarren:
Maybe someone else can chime in, but I don't see the connection between getting updates and the images posted.

That link has two kinds of images; full factory images that will erase your current setup. I have not done those.

The other type of image there is the OTA image, that will not erase anything. I have done a few of those when the "update" button was not working for me. If you are running a stock phone on 8.1 I would go that route. Get the image found under the section for our phone ("taimen" for Pixel 2 XL), named "8.1.0 (OPM2.171019.029, Apr 2018)".

I have a telus branded pixel 2 xl and am using the latest firmware from the google site. Its the same tging in terms of signal etc
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] girouf:
Every device is getting the same update this month except for 1 and if my memory serves me well it's the one from Telus which has a carrier specific package. From what I understand every pixel 2 XL regardless if it whas purchased from a carrier or google has the same software loaded. I guess google creates special carrier builds when necessary only to address specific network requirements. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this.

Check Android police they have a post regarding April update from a few days back

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] girouf:
Same with me on fido. Although both Rogers and Fido claim that the updates come directly from Google I suspect that they are able to somehow hide/hold the updates from showing on our devices for a few days until they decide to release. At least I'm hoping that's all it is since both are showing an April 6 date for availability on their OS upgrade schedule on their website. Otherwise my update button is broken and does nothing.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mickliq:
At least I’m not alone (though still aggravated)! Last month it worked. There is something about the update being “officially” dated 5 April though...?
