Hello!

For starter, I'd like to thank you guys for all the help you provide for this site.

1: My gf's Galaxy C5 Pro just got android 7.0 but only for China (Open China) and Hong Kong and after looking into every update since the phone got released, there are no firmware for any other country (I'm from Romania btw) so naturally I wanna' flash the Hong Kong version (to my knowlege Hong Kong version does have the Google Services, Open China does not have) but I'm a bit scared that if it doesn't work as it should I need a backup. Now there are plenty of site and forums that provide "legit link" to TWRP but they just look kind of suspicious and I don't wanna' brick her phone. So any help guys, I'll apreciate it.

2: About that Hong Kong version, would it work here, in Romania without any signal problem? Like lost or drop signal?

I kinda don't want to wait until Romania firmware comes out (which it might not) cause that could be in like 1 year or so.

Maybe there are people from other country beside those mention above that flashed the Hong Kong version and report how the rom handle and work

Thank you again guys and have a nice day!

pleasee TWRP for SM-C5010
[General Questions and Answers] iNatsikap:
hey

mine is a sm-c5018, but it had the sm-c5010 Marshmallow on it, there was no update option, even smart switch showed its up to date

so i downloaded the sm-c5010 Nougat from here and flashed manually using Odin, Its perfect and no issues so far after three days of use (here in Pakistan)

you can use syncios to backup your data and then flash this, for a phone that just launched recently i wouldn't take the risk of installing recovery or root

hope this helps

best of luck

I bought this case in our local market. Its a heavy duty metal alloy case and very beautiful. It fits totally perfect and I tested it for drops. It protects every inch of our phone. The camera the screen are all securely protected and it also contains a loopthread for holding it. I am highly satisfied with it. Check pics View attachment 4380045 View attachment 4380046

Well for the two guys trying to be funny above, when u talk to a service man, u should know what u are talking about, a phone covers motive is protection and that is handled in an awesome way by this case, and yes thanks for the clarification above my friend, thats called a lanyard and its very helpful in crowded places.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] fantasybust:
I recently bought an LG TV, and noticed this promotion for people who bought a V30 between 11/16 and 12/2. I did not buy a V30 in that time span, but my TV purchase was within 45 days after that time. If someone on this forum bought a V30 in that time, but has not/will not buy another LG product in that time span, I wonder if we can team up and submit for the rebate and share the profits. Anyone willing to try?

lg.com/us/mobile-phones/v30/promotion
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
I doubt it will work. I bought two phones and submitted my entry a few days ago. LG requires you to upload pictures of the receipts. And the receipts have to also show IMEI/serial numbers. My receipts both showed my name and address, for instance. Not all will, but most will at least show your name.

There's also lots of legalese you have to agree to. LG would probably just deny the claim with two names on two different receipts, but depending on how far you took it, they could allege fraud?

A friend bought two phones so she could get the rebate, then sold me her 2nd one (my third) for the after "rebate" price of $600.

Hello Peeps,

So I am noticing that the pictures from the C9000 are not sharp. At first I thought it was the Beauty Mode or another filter, but I have them off. The pictures look slightly blurred-pixelized, even when I try not to move the camera.

Any suggestions?

My needs:

- Good Camera, esp for indoor and low light use. Need a good manual mode. Portrait mode not important, need to shoot mostly landscape pics.

- Good build quality

- Long lasting battery (~1-2 days for light use)

- Light user, no gaming or other heavy apps

The camera of Mi A1 vs Zenfone 3:

- A1 = dual camera set up

- A1 = no Laser autofocus, no OIS

I would like to get the Zenfone 3, but am seeing some reported issues of camera not focussing. How common is this problem? should I not consider Zenfone 3 based on this issue.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] vaibhavnarain11@gmail.com:
Good camera? Zenfone 3, no other choice.

Just exclude portrait mode.

I'm not having focusing issue of any kind. I do reset after every big update.

I get 7hr SOT on light usage.

Would you recommend Zenfone 3 to me? My main need is for a phone with a with good camera and long battery life. ( and cost less than $200)

I found the settings of google camera that give the best HDR+, portraits on Nougat/Oreo Exynos devices. Compared to stock camera, GCam gives better saturation levels and detailed images. HDR+ parameters don’t hugely matter what you choose, and is all personal preference. A higher amount (very high in my case) will take a longer time to process.

New settings attached below. Clean Install is always recommended.

Mod8.3b_IDan_v3.2.9_Exynos.apk

3.2.9 Features

-Fixed black level back camera for Samsung Galaxy A8/A8+

-Attempt to fix OIS

3.2.7 Features

- Fixed black level front

- Enabled OIS by default

- Added saturation options in Advanced HDR+ settings

3.2 Features

- Dark Theme for settings.

- Now you can select the path where to save the photos (doesn't work on sd card but probably can work with some xposed mod).

- Removed all the snapdragon toggles. The app will know when apply that settings.

- Removed custom denoise param and other settings

- Now the app will restart every time you go back from settings to the viewfinder. This means that you don't need anymore to restart the app to apply settings

- Now there are three gestures in the viewfinder:

1. double tap on the black area it will pop the exposure menu directly

2. long-press on gallery and it will open samsung gallery instead of google photos

3. long press on the switch camera and after the restart the viewfinder brightness will be set to maximum

- some minor changes

Gcam Tool v2..32

-Prevent flipping of front camera photos

-Choose which photos you want to move

-Select custom source and destination folders

-Batch move multiple files

-Option to delete the sub folder created by Google Camera

Download

But it seems to be a old version without the original portrait-mode. They are working on it and posted versions that are working for snapdragon but not for the exynos right now.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ryan770:
Not at all, Live Focus is infinitely better than lens blur. Lens Blur can't detect edges for ****. The problem with Live Focus is it requires adequate lighting for good processing. Lower light tends to do about as well as lens blur, for me at least.

Also Live Focus is fantastic as generating a gradual bokeh across the ground or a wall, it's way more natural. Lens Blur can't do anything like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] msohail_7:
I agree that but lens blur and live focus are totally different in work. Lens blur is a good replacement for devices like S8, S7 etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] kikemotions:
There's a new version that supports Portrait mode, and is working on Snapdragon variants... I've tried, but can't find any setting to work.

I followed your settings and uses the same Google Camer apk/version. I was out waiting for a couple of friends and thought I'd just try it out for fun, point and shoot only on both Stock and Google Camera mod. Only difference was I hit the Auto HDR+ at the top of the Google Camera mod whilst snapping a picture.

The quality is completely crap compared to stock, I apologize this may not be enough to help much but yeah. Any tips or something?

I see. What kind of settings would u recommend for taking photos on the rear and front, say mostly for color accuracy like the rave of the Pixel phone cam? As I do use it on other different things so not really mainly selfie.

Hello, friends. I am writing through Google translator. I'm from Russia. Tell me please - why do photos lose their sharpness in the "portrait" mode? As if there are fewer pixels. Second question. Can I use the settings in the latest version to reduce background blur? In the "portrait" mode - It seems to me that this looks not realistic. The third question is - is it possible to enable hdr in the "blur" mode? The fourth question - tell me where you can read about what settings are better for note8? Or those who are on default - are there workers? Thank you

Just read on another thread that during low light the Exposure set to "Slow shutter" on static object, etc. Will try it too.
