[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Drstranglove:
Lol

I am sorry but what most people write here couldnt be more far from the truth. Those "realities" shared are mostly simply wrong.

Also those arrogant sentences from some Ala :"what do people think comes out of a 40mp sensor this size.."

LOL arrogant behavior from someone knowing nothing about optics and chips and the physics behind it ?

It seems often everyone wants to be a pro in every genre which isn't possible.

1)

Vagineting has Nothing to do with the sensor but the Lense used!

so the talk about the sensor size is not true! It dose not matter how small or large the sensor is!

2)

The "TRUTH" that every raw picture out of even pro cameras has it is also not true.

I am professional photographer since 15 years.. I own Canon.. Many real Leicas and I shoot with middle format.

And no! This what we see on the p20. (BTW also on p10, mate 9 and mate 10 with much less mp) is not normal

Vignetting, it's also color distortion in extreme. Pro cameras do not have this issue since it gets corrected automatically. (for the most part... Depending of how bad Ur optic is.)

3)

Also note that the P9 dose NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE!

but all phones after that have it (I did own all of them)

P10, mate 9 and mate 10 got exactly the same greenish hue and extreme Vignetting. I think Huawei just got lazy here...

Now the real reason :

Every company... Builds in a automatic Vignetting correction for different optics.(on Canon u can choose the suitable profile in the camera menu (yes for each Optic not for the chip.. Lol)

IPhone and for example the p9 also got a instigated raw

Vignetting profile used by the phone (right after the shot is taken) so the raw will look almost without Vignetting. Sadly Huawei seem to have abandoned this practice since the p10 which is absolute not to understand since it makes raw unusable able.

Nut seriously guys... What 8 did read here is funny.

Why people need to say to everything something ??

U are 100% correct!

---------- Post added at 07:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 AM ----------

Not true! Every raw is not exactly raw and got some basic structural processing!

This Problem has Nothing to do with 40 mp or the size of the sensor ???

It only has to do with the optic and the profile not implimebted by Huawei to correct the issue

The Cornerfix profile doesn't work that well with high contrast photos. I get weird rings as you can see on the attached image below. I played around with the settings but can't find a way to make them go away. Any ideas?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] vincent2167:
Unfortunately I am getting the same issue when heavy lifting shadows. This is where the cornerfix workaround reaches its limits.

In such cases, cornerfix introduces its own color cast.

It was also the case with the LG G4 and only LG firmware update fixed the dng for all cases. I hope that Huawei will also do that...
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] AlexRocker:
Thank you for the reply. I really do hope that Huawei does something about it, it's a shame cause the phone can produce amazing images but the raw files are unusable for now.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] vincent2167:
Here is a comparison (picture of a white wall) between the original P20 Pro DNG vs cornerfix P20 Pro DNG. The correction applied to the DNG is not 100% perfect, but much better. Also as seen in the latest posts, it doesn't work for every scenario.

Orginal P20 Pro DNG:

Cornerfix P20 Pro DNG:
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Boooom12345:
Hi vincent2167

Thanks for the CornerFix Profile. It works nicely.

I ran the DNG through Cornerfix and then opened the DNG in Adobe Camera Raw. I did some basic adjustments ( White balance, Exposure, highlights, shadows, saturation only).

I opened the DNG in Photoshop and did a smart sharpen and saved the file as a JPEG

I then compared the 40mp in camera JPEG to my processed JPEG and I was surprised to find the following (keeping in mind that I processed the DNG to my taste and I did not comparing it to the in camera JPEG until I was done) :

- The in camera and my processed JPEG were very similar!

- I like a slightly warm white balance, and my processed JPEG was slightly warmer that the in camera. The in camera white balance is still correct.

- The in camera JPEG exposure, shadows and highlights were very similar.

- I had a bit more saturation in my processed JPEG.

- The processed JPEG had slightly more detail after the smart sharpen, it looks like the in camera JPEG is a bit softer

Just my two cents, I think for photos that I shoot that are special, I would go through the above hassle of processing, the rest that are just "snaps" I am happy to use and keep the in camera JPEGS.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] topcaser:
I will do it that way Booooom12345 does it. Nevertheless, the CornerFix Profile is brillant. Thanks for that. If I expose my images with lightroom after applying the Cornerfix profile, I found out that all images are a little too saturated. I had to decrease the global saturation by 10 - 15 in lightroom and than it looks fine. Did you also made this experience?

Regarding shadows and highlights: IMO that's the real strength of RAW. Some in device exposed images had too dark shadows and with the RAW file in place you can correct things if needed. Nevertheless, by doing so, the gallery mixes up the order of the image. Which gallery are you using?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Raintitan:
I analyzed and worked with many RAW files when I first got my P20 Pro, and in the end, I've decided that the lens is very soft, and the results pretty average at best before the software gets ahold of it. As a result, the JPG files are much better to work with. I have not tried any RAW files lately but I would expect minor changes due to firmware because of the nature of the beast. It was disappointing at first, but then again I am impressed by what it does post capture to get great shots internally.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] gordinflas:
I had got a p10 plus and it suffered the same issue with raw format until and update b201 solved it and transformed raw pictures upside down. B201 made raws look spectacular. After upgrading to oreo raws and camera in general got awful again.

So, at some point Huawei fix camera but it seems that further upgrades may **** camera again.

Lets hope they released a good camera update son.

Also, I suggested Huawei to allow they phone to shoot both cameras simultaneously and save both pictures in raw format to edit them later in photoshop but it seems they didn't take account this request in the p20.

As the title say, after the last update Game Launcher is always showing one notification as in the attached image, I checked every option in the game launcher and settings and there is noting.

Samsung suggested I make a factory reset which I did and did not solve the problem.

[Asus Zenfone Max Guides, News, & Discussion] deal_mart:
Hello people,

Here I bring to you face unlock for our beautiful Asus Zenfone MAX. Heres how to do it:

Download:

You will need any ROM that has the Google "Smart Lock" feature. I can confirm this is available with most Custom Roms > AOSP Extended 4.6, XOSP, AIM Rom, Resurrection Remix etc. But my personal favorite is Dot OS. Download link below:

DOT OS Downoad link:

DOT OS

Activate Google Smart Lock

Go to Security>Smart Lock

Add Trusted Face

Select "Trusted Face" and add your face

Voila, You are Done

Well, not yet.

If you test it now, the phone will unlock but you will still need to "Swipe Up" to go to the home screen. Bad, huh?

Well, that is sorted too!

Download "AutoInput" from Play Store

Theres a catch here. You need to download the paid version of the App. Thats a cost. Or if you know any way of getting it fr free, let me know :p

Open Autoinput App

Grant "Accessibility" Access

Click on Auto Dismiss Keyguard

Click on "Enable"

NOW YOU are DONE

Lock your phone.

Click on the power button to light up screen.

Hold it to your face and Voila, there goes the face unlock!

Enjoyy !
[Asus Zenfone Max Guides, News, & Discussion] Abhishek P G:
I guess xposed has an active module(instant face unlock) for the purpose of auto input... But it seems a bit laggy compared to auto input.Also i guess the trusted face option in smart lock depends on which open gapps you are flashing.... I got it by flashing stock version(pico didn't have the trusted face option).nano too has the feature

Not sure what's causing this issue. Just wanted to know if anyone else is having this issue and if so any way of resolving it. Never had this problem before the upgrade.

Factory reset ?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El_Rengo:
Hello how are you?

I was bothering you to ask them a question, is it possible to downgrade the Moto X Style Pure?

2 months ago I updated it to Android 7 and it was the worst mistake I could make the phone was slow it takes to open any application, its crash, I restart it 3 or 4 times a day.

Is there any way to go back to Android 6 so we can install LineageOs Oficial?

Thank you so much.

Greetings.

So, a month and half ago, I updated OTA my WWE S-Off HTC 10 from 2.41.401.41 to 3.16.401. I haven't got any problems since then, until now, when it began to restart all of a sudden, and sometimes getting caught in a bootloop. I downgraded to 2.41.401.4, flashing stock with executable RUU. To my surprise, my phone couldn't even boot up to the welcome screen, it remained at the green logo, and eventually rebooting with no result.

Every tip is much appreciated.

I'm trying to built my own beta rom for a long time.

everything goes well until I tried to edit initflashfiles.dat.

The problem is after flashing with the new edited initflashfiles.dat, my rom could not run setup, and could not copy files automatically.

I tried to edit with EmEditor, UltraEdit and notpad in my CHS Vista system.

Could you tell me where the problem is or which software should I take in use?

Or the problem is because my oprating system or anything else?

Thanks for your reply.

Or you could send me a e-mail to jacky.wjq@163.com.

On Oreo (VTR-L09C432B360), I installed the 15.4 version from here... https://xdaforums.com/p10-plus/development/magisk-p10-p10plus-t3752482 (it's for the P10 Plus but works on P10's as well)

You can then update to the latest version (v16) via the Magisk Manager app.

Hi DallasCZ,

May I ask you to be more specific?

I just ordered a P10 and I would like root it with Magisk (I alrady have a Lenovo Tab3 8Plus (TB-8703F) and successfully routed with Magisk (Safety Net check is green))

So, what are the steps? Can I use the original Magisk, or should I use a P10 specific? And how the OTA updates work with the Magisk? Eg.: Do you have to disable it before update? I hope not, since Magisk is systemless and the Oreo ROM is Treble "compatible". Oh, and could you give me a link to a working TWRP, which is compatible with the latest Oreo?

[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] Dexterova:
Finally I got my phone. Now I'm testing, and getting familiar with it. But after that, I really need some help / advice ... ;)

So my questions are the follows:

If I open the bootloader (no root, no other modifications), will I get OTA updates, and will they work?

Which TWRP is recommended? twrp 3.2.1-0 OREO or TWRP 3.2.1-0 for EMUI 8.0 or another one? What is the difference between the first two?

Can I use the official Magisc? I'm on VTR-L29 8.0.0.360(C432)

And the "really big" question: Is it possible to have OTA updates and Magisk at the same time? If yes, how?
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] Dexterova:
Guys, don't bother with answering my question. It seems that Huawei removed the possibility to get unlock code. So, right now it seems I'll never be able to root my device :(

[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] DallasCZ:
as far as I know, it can be done manually.

-pull the kernel from the phone by using adb command

-use magisk manager to patch the kernel

-push the patched kernel back to phone using adb command

-reboot
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] M1chiel:
But instead of the kernel you must patch the boot image (ramdisk in oreo). A good guide is here: https://xdaforums.com/honor-view-10...oot-honor-view-10-mate-10-pro-t3749280/page50 (but use the latest normal update instead of the custom channel).

If you are not rooted you may not be able to access the ramdisk image by adb. Instead you can extract the it from the full firmware file. Check here: https://openkirin.net/user_guide/how-to-extract-partition-images-from-stock-emui-firmware/

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] Andro Enthusiast:
Friends !

I am sharing the ZUI 3.5.337 Firmware_Baseband zip file which can be flashed through TWRP.

The zip file updates our device' firmware to ZUI Oreo Firmware and Baseband is updated to 1.70 (Chinese ZUI Oreo Baseband).

Credit to [MENTION=7174278]kubersharma[/MENTION] who created this zip file :cool: I am sharing his file here with his approval.

Important Points

1. It should be flashed only over Chinese 1.70 and Indian 1.76 Basebands. Do not try flashing over older basebands.

2. Bootloader won't be re-locked.

3. Data/Internal Storage partitions will not be touched in devices which are not Encrypted.

4. The zip can be flashed on Encrypted devices also. But the device has to be reset when booting into system. People who are flashing it on Encrypted devices, do take back up of all files.

I flashed it over Indian Baseband 1.76 and got updated successfully :) I was encrypted and I had to format my device in TWRP after flashing the zip.

Both Mobile Data and Wi-Fi Signals are stable.

Anyways I had removed emmc_appsboot from it and it won't lock bootloader thus it'll not soft brick ya phone.

My Observation over 3.5.243' baseband:

JIO signals don't fluctuate

Note:

People on 1.6x or older basebands can try this, but as this doesn't flash emmc_appsboot thus latest firmware partitions with older emmc_appsboot partition from 1.6x baseband or below, "might" ( as I have not tried it ) face a softbrick.
