Night mode

Hmm,

so the Miravision app by Mediatek is doing this in software as well (its blue filter works fine on Stock or GearLabs ROM)? Otherwise it would seem worthwhile to include Miravision with the LOS image...
[Device Reviews and Information] Alberto96:
Being a proprietary closed-source feature (that can't be implemented in other ROMs) it is handled differently and more efficiently. LOS's LiveDisplay feature is made for Qualcomm devices, and works in compatibility mode for others unless a native kernel implementation is added.

I won't discuss more about this LiveDisplay and MiraVision thing since it is going to be a not-ending story.

CHuwi Hi9 air sim network problem@alberto

Dear sir, i m having the problem with my chuwi hi9 air stock rom, my sim network shows blank with no network but in Mobile network in setting it detect the sim(I m using JIO 4G) and everything. I replaced the sim with other network IDEA...It work for 4g but for some time(M having fully supported 4g network in my area for all carriers)and again shows 3g. Again i replaced the sim with Vodafone,Uninor but no other carrier shows network(especially 4g) like jio 4G Sim. In engineering mode I do the changes for LTE and 4g but it with no effect. I typed *#*#4636#*#* but it shows setting has stopped working. also *#*#3646633#*#* doesn't gives any effect...........plz help me to resolve the problem...........

[Device Reviews and Information] BOFH2k:
Ah,

Thanks for that helpful explanation [MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION] - it's understandable that you won't look into this matter any further then!

So, in summary, I can

either use Stock/GearLabs ROM for optimal hardware support (including Miravision night filter) but without regular Android security updates (as Chuwi is unlikely to provide them).

or use the LOS 15.1 GSI for more regular updates (should you provide them going forward, as that ROM isn't an officially supported Lineage build).

Might give the Miravision APK on LOS 15.1 a try - unless that would be futile, as the kernel used isn't the proprietary Chuwi one (which should be the case, if I understood Project Treble correctly)?
[Device Reviews and Information] Alberto96:
Project Treble relies on the /system partition, both boot and vendor images are not touched (so kernel and system libraries). You won't be able to use proprietary features on a Treble or any open-source ROM due to the lack of framework implementation.

Potential screen issue

Hey everyone,

got this tablet a couple of days ago and while using it I noticed something that looks like a screen backlight issue so I just wanted to check here if anyone is experiencing the same.

So I'm on stock ROM latest version and I'm unable to find the option for automatic brightness however with what I think is the automatic brightness turned off, the screen (for now only noticeable on white background) tends to randomly reduce and increase the brightness so slightly for 2-3 seconds (several times) it's a bit annoying to the eye but invisible to the camera for me to record the issue. It only happens randomly but it happens while reading stuff and frequently (couple of times within 2-3 mins). So far I tried 0% and aprox 50% bright screen setting (usually there is no need for 100% so not sure if it happens at that setting as well). It could be some software glitch or backlight dying which is causing this issue and as the shop won't accept a defect without a video my only option is to send the device back and ask for a refund but first I'd just like to see if it is possible others have the same behaviour or is it some setting I'm missing, etc.

Thanks a bunch.

I need to root the device, however I cannot:

1) I've got it updated to latest available through OTA release-keys 20180809 co I cannot use patched boot.img and magisk.

2) I've unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP. However TWRP is working only until normal boot, as it's rewrites the recovery due to the unpatched boot.img

3) Even if I start TWRP without reboot, it does not have access to internal memory as it's encrypted. The TWRP says that default password does not work and askes for it, however I have not set any password for the tablet. So I cannot install zip with Super SU or Magisk.

Is there any workaround, except trying to flash the old firmware with patched boot.img?
[Device Reviews and Information] uncleabubear:
Magisk install instructions from here https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

Via Magisk Manager:

This method does not need root, and also does not require a custom recovery.

However, you MUST have a stock boot image dump beforehand, and you also have to be able to flash the patched boot image, either through fastboot/download mode or ODIN

Install the latest Magisk Manager

If you're planning to flash the patched boot image through ODIN, go to Settings > Update Settings > Patched Boot Output Format, and select .img.tar. For normal users leave it as the default .img

Press Install > Install > Patch Boot Image File, and select your stock boot image file

Magisk Manager will now patch your boot image, and store it in [Internal Storage]/MagiskManager/patched_boot.img[.tar]

Copy the patched boot image to your PC. If you can't find it via MTP, you can pull the file with ADB:

adb pull /sdcard/MagiskManager/patched_boot.img[.tar]

Flash the patched boot image to your device and reboot. Here is the command if using fastboot:

fastboot flash boot /path/to/patched_boot.img

Can you make a review of your AOSP 8.1 Phh-Treble firmware, please? Does it solve the dimmed screen of the original Chuwi Hi9 Air? Are both cameras performing better now on photos and videos? Are speakers louder? Is the 4G signal stronger?

Do you recommend this upgrade? Tell us how to perform it, please.
[Device Reviews and Information] Emoclaw:
Unfortunately I switched to a GSI almost immediately so I can't compare it to stock because I didn't use stock that much. The 4G signal and the brightness for me are satisfactory, but I don't think there'd be any differences compared to stock.

The cameras are of the same quality, but have issues that are related to the accelerometer (issue here). Due to that issue, auto-rotation is also broken where holding the tablet in portrait puts it in landscape and vice-versa. You'll have to lock the rotation to either of the two.

On the other hand, I now have root & xposed installed. Performance is much better when using L Speed & tweaking some values with kernel adiutor. Battery life is also improved.

I'd recommend this to people who won't use the cameras and don't mind the rotation issue & potentially other bugs that I haven't discovered.

I'll update this post with a guide on installation, fixing input & fixing some other bugs tomorrow.

This guide is outdated.

We now have TWRP and working LineageOS treble builds that do not have orientation/touch issues thanks to [MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION]

Do not follow this guide. Refer to: TWRP post, LineageOS post. I will update this guide at some point.

How to install a GSI (treble) image:

Unlocking the bootloader

1. Enable developer options if not enabled, enable "allow oem unlocking".

2. Enter fastboot mode using power + vol up when the tablet is off or through adb reboot bootloader.

3. Unlock the bootloader using fastboot oem unlock & confirming it on the tablet. No other step is necessary.​

Installing the GSI

Do not exit fastboot mode/restart

1. Download the image. I've installed Phh's AOSP on my device, you can also install LineageOS(untested) if you want.

2. Make sure to select ARM64 A-only with GApps and SU.

3. Place the downloaded image in the folder where fastboot is located.

4. Run fastboot flash system nameofimage.img where nameofimage = the file you downloaded

5. Reboot once done​

Everything is broken.

1. How to fix touch input: follow these steps. You can use adb install Touchscreen.apk or an OTG cable with a mouse. God help you if you don't.

2. To fix UI scaling, enable developer options if not already enabled, set "Smallest width" to 600 or 650

3. To fix Play Store downloads stuck on Download pending..., you'll have to remove Google Play Services for Instant Apps. Install Phh's Superuser & System app remover from outside the Play Store and remove it.​

You can install Xposed directly through the installer.
