Front facing portrait mode doesn't work. When I press the shutter, there is no response. It worked in the last 1.4 beta. I am using S8 Snapdragon variant.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] miguelang611:
I attach both logs of 7.1.1 N8 ROMs and 8.0 Beta. On both I get black screen on photos mode. However, I can record video and use other modes of Google camera app on 8.0 Oreo.

I hope u can fix it!

Thanks and regards!

PS: No portrait mode working on any of them.

Lens blur is working for front and back camera. I switched to portrait and i can't see nothing on both cameras like yesterday! Here is a longer Logcat. When i open the app on the rear camera i can't see anything. I guess the problem is the same of yesterday cause i see level_3 instead of full?

Hi [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION],

another quick log for you with the newer 1.4 version.

Galaxy S8 Exynos, Android 7.0.0.

Portrait mode not working on front or rear cam. Able to take normal pictures with front cam, but not with rear cam. Focus effect works with rear cam.

Edit: Since you were asking for it in another Gcam Thread, I also uploaded the Device_info file from the Camera2 Test app.

I'm still on Nougat, maybe somebody already on the Oreo beta can upload theirs aswell?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] miguelang611:
I attach device info of S8 running 8.0 Oreo.

I hope it is useful.

There's a working cam with portrait mode working on Exynos devices (nougat and oreo beta). It's rear camera only and it works great.

Here it is: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75118407&postcount=252

Make sure your settings are as follows:

Model: Nexus 6

Portrait Mode on all models: On

camera.faceboxes: on

camera.af.debug.show: off

If anyone can get it working with better settings that would be fantastic.

Guys, you can use Medium HDR+ Parameter for the potrait mode of [MENTION=4798833]miniuser123[/MENTION]'s version. There was a significant improvement in lowlight portraits. Catch is that you cant use the non portrait CAM for for HDR+ but then my solution was to use another version by using App Clone.

I use this version MGC_5.1.016_7.0+C2API_v.1.3d_AllinOne.apk

for HDR+ since this gives me the option to use Pixel 2XL for the model and resolves the red and blue artifacts in lowlight.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrDanMak:

Hey guys. I recently got an H918 from the US which I am trying to unlock for use here in my home country. I can't go the T-Mobile way since it was bought of CL. I can only use 3rd parties to unlock it. However, most 3rd party unlocking sites state that the "Service is Temporarily Unavailable". Does anyone among you know why the service might be down?

Some are still working. However, they cost upwards of $150, a figure I can't even think about paying since the phone didn't cost as much :D :D :D. Cheers.

I changed my TX9 box a bit. Firmware 04.01.2018 ...

Instead of the Tanix Launcher, I installed the ALICE UX Launcher.

I have Xposed installed + Gravity BOX to make the last tasks visible (double click the HOME button) and added a RAM bar. The clock is now in the middle and I have removed the battery icon.

I do not understand why these functions are not delivered directly.

In the ALICE UX launcher you can see and close the recently opened tasks on the left side, but if I press ALT + TAB on my keyboard, will the last tasks still be displayed there, even though they have been terminated via the ALICE UX launcher?!? !

And I also updated the KODI app to 17.6.

I was able to take Xposed + TWRP 3.1.1.1 + ALICE UX from the smaller Tanix Tx3 mini.

I upgraded my TX9 to 20180104 this way using the built-in application Update / Backup

Steps:

1. Download the archive with the firmware from

https://www.chinagadgetsreviews.com...-2-stock-firmware-tanix-tx9-pro-tv-box-3.html

2. - if downloaded file has .rar extension 710MB (usually contains 3 files: firmware .zip + recovery.img + factory_update_param.aml) - unpack from it an archive with firmware file (TANIX TX9 PRO ota 20180104.zip)

or

- if downloaded file has .zip extension (TANIX TX9 PRO ota 20180104.zip - 704MB) can be used directly

3. Place the file to TX9 internal memory (root or downloaded files folder - simply any place where you can find the file :) )

4. Run Update / Backup through the Applications menu.

5. Click Select, wait until box scans all the files with the .zip extension on your device

6. Select the file with the firmware from the list and click update (should be TANIX TX9 PRO ota 20180104.zip)

Next, the machine copies the files and reboots, after the reboot, the system will be updated.

7. After upgrade factory reset is recommended

Hi every one. i just did the update yesterday, by the zip ota ( thanks king555).

first i no longer have kodi on the box, and when i try to install it from playstore or aptoide, i have a message about a package already exist on the box.

second, i feel the wifi isn't powerfull as before ( i lost the signal and it reconnected after 3/5 minutes)

[MENTION=4640794]papla83[/MENTION]

after update the box factory reset is highly recommended....

wifi is OK, try 5GHz wifi with 802.11ac...

I'm using box on place where is a lot of 2.4GHz wifi networks (about 20) but only two 5GHz networks.

Box is placed about 10 m from wifi router, from provider I have 150/10 Mbps internet and speedtest shows about 50-60 Mbps download speed...

Try different places for box, sometimes enough small movements (few cm), you can use wifi analysers apps from google play to check wifi signal strength
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] papla83:
OK I'll try asap. And maybe if I do a full wipe kodi will come back.

How to install ALICE UX Launcher permanently: (Thats my way)

1. I have extracted the Folder Alice_Launcher_720P from Tanix TX3 Firmware (I used the Amlogic Customization Tool)

1.a Rename the Folder Alice_Launcher_720P to Tanix

1.b Open Folder and rename Alice_Launcher_720P.apk to Tanix.apk

1.c Open Folder oat, open Folder arm and rename Alice_Launcher_720P.odex to Tanix.odex

2. Install a Root Explorer to your Box (I use ES Datei Explorer)

3. Open ES Datei Explorer, go to Settings on left side and activate ROOT-EXPLORER!!!

4. In ES Datei Explorer open Folder Local/system/app and delete the Folder Tanix.

5. Now copy your renamed Folder Tanix to Local/system/app.

6. Open Local/system/app/Tanix and install Tanix.apk

After a restart your Launcher should be permanently ALICE UX Launcher.

Next you have to change there all windows / links otherwise nothing opens! (Example: click on NETFLIX, it will not happen!) Go with mouse cursor to NETFLIX, click on the remote control menu button, now you can choose yourself with which you want to occupy this window, now select NETLIX or what ever you want this place)

I hope I could help you or others with it.

Sorry for my english, i used a translator ....

Best regards

After I have installed Xposed and Gravity Box, I made a few changes, after double clicking the HOME button I will now see the last open apps, as well as the RAM bar.

Hi all,

I have receveid my tanix tx9 pro, this box is really good but i have small problem with TV Application, impossible to have full screen or high quality because application recognize tanix box like "touch pad" and not like Tv Box, so application is in touch pad mod.

I have search for this problem and problem is maybe for firmware because tanix dont use Android Tv Stock firmware (dont have leanback launcher and is impossible to install leanback).

Anybody have a solution ?

Or maybe is possible to install a stock android tv firmware on tanix tx9 pro ?

I have found that : http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player...b-scv4a-atv-7-1-2-ddr3-ddr4-androidtv-version

Unfortunately, it doesn't work. I'm trying to do exactly what you want to do, I want to fake this Box for apps to think it's an actual Android TV powered device.

Without this, Netflix 4K and remote friendly won't work at all.

You can try to follow this tutorial, which is exactly what we both want to do, but it soft bricks the TX9 Pro and you have to reset it to get it back working.

Today I tried to install the firmware (SCV7A OTA) for Alfawise H96Pro + on my Tanix TX9 Pro. I was successful in installing these. :good::good::good:

This ROM has TWRP included. All I had to do was root the box myself with MAGISK. Xposed install was not a problem either.

I have to say the user interface I like very much. :D

What I've noticed at the moment is that the front display is not working properly (it keeps showing boot) :confused:

The original remote control does not work. For this the remote.cfg has to be changed.

Currently, my remote control for the X96 mini TV BOX worked almost perfectly.

But the only real problem for me is that my BOX always gets stuck, no matter what firmware I install. Constantly I have to unplug the power adapter and plug it in again.

Firmware found on:
