[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] KonikoO:
Try installing a module for magisk called Camera2Api - it fixed an issue with lack of support in app permissions as for me but there's still a problem with apps that stop working after few tries and you gotta restart your device so it's better to just use FV-5 Camera and rice up the HAL to fake support.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] R3pro:
Use freedcam, you can capture RAW
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] KonikoO:
I think what he wants is HDR+ or just the quality of an image improvment.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] R3pro:
oh .. i see ...
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] Core_RP:
Snap 616 doesn't have any camera2api/hal3 driver in existence. No way you can use gcam. Not a single rom, even android Q won't help in this situation.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] KonikoO:
With one custom kernel I managed to get the gcam working on 14.1 so your argument may be false as of HDR+ was supported as well as RAW capture.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] Core_RP:
If the app launches, it doesn't mean the functionality is working. IDK about raw, but the HDR+ I managed to get in gcam on custom roms was just a regular photo (same quality and same size)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Philosofy:
Somehow I screwed up the setup of my tilt, and the tilt thought it was syncing with 2 different computers with the same name, but I only sync with my laptop. I fixed that, and the tilt thinks it syncs with only one computer.

I have two email accounts: both are active, but are pretty much interchangeable. Both accounts put emails into the same Outlook inbox. Before I fixed the problem mentioned above, I had three email folders or accounts on my tilt. One got email from my first account, one got email from my second account, and one was what I had on my laptop. When I would sync up, the emails in the first and second account would disappear and be moved to the account called "Outlook." That was fine with me. I file all my emails on the laptop, so no problems. The only glitch was I couldn't reply from emails filed in the Outlook box, but I fixed that. But now the emails in my first account aren't moving over, so that inbox on the tilt is filling up, and the emails are duplicated in my Outlook inbox on the tilt. I can't figure out how to get my first account to sync up. Can anyone help me? Do I need to create a 'second' computer again?

Thanks again for all the help here.

Phil

[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] tanniemz:
I am using a BND-L24C567B150 model. On 30th April my phone received the oreo update. I downloaded the file but when I tried to install it my phone went to reboot but once its back on nothing changes. I again tried to update the software by using 'Download latest full package' option. This time my phone downloaded a smaller file than before and once it installed and rebooted nothing changed as before.

Please help me as I know very little about android phones and don't know what to do to get the oreo update.

Thank you.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] darkmage1991:
you sure it didnt work have you actually checked the version in about phone? you say you dont know much about android and oreo didnt change anything visually, only way to know is looking at the version.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] tanniemz:
i checked, its still running on the old os..
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] darkmage1991:
i dont think you received the oreo update. you must have received the face unlock update. to see if you truly received the oreo update get huawei firmware finder from the store and see if your device is authorized for 8.0, if it says not authorized for installation it means you didnt receive the 8.0 update as your device isnt even authorized yet.

Some info about requirements

7.5.4 Nougat-based

The true legendary solid one for some Nougat ROMs (especially WhyOrean's)​

8.1.4 Nougat-based

Current minimal version for Cosmic​

8.2.1 Nougat-based

Current minimal version for Omni​

V9.5.2.0 Nougat-based

Seems to work fine on Nougat ROMs that won't work with 7.5.4 anymore​

8.5.10 Oreo-based

Current minimal version for Lineage (LOS) /-based, AEX-mod, Dirty Unicorns (DU), Pixel Experience (PE), Resurrection Remix Darkness (RRD), DotOS, AOSiP​

If you get an error7 in TWRP it means the firmware you flashed is too old for the ROM you wanted to install.

Please tell me in these cases and I'll update this post!

Also always remember to be on the latest TWRP version.

At the moment this is 3.2.1-1.

[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] e_jim:
Thank you Phil, great initiative!

Just a suggestion for you to consider: I know it's extra work, but I think it could be a good idea to post a hash of each uploaded file for integrity validation after downloading (SHA1 or SHA256). What do you think?

Enviado desde mi MI 5 mediante Tapatalk
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Phil_Smith:
Hey there, thanks for your feedback! :)

And thanks for the suggestion. If you can give me good reasons to do that, I will consider it, but I don't see which protection is offered by these hash files nowadays...

They won't prevent man-in-the-middle attacks, as the hash files can be manipulated as well - as I see it, it only makes things a little harder for both sides.

But what do you think? Do you really think this can help?

All the best!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] e_jim:
I'm not so much thinking about MITM or other malicious attacks (even though that can happen too), but merely about a minimal safeguard for checking file integrity. For important things, I always check the file hash when it's made available by the download source.

It means no additional difficulty or effort for the downloading party (only those interested, like me, would check the hash against the one posted in the OP for each file), it's only an added step to generate and post the hash for the uploader party (ie., you :) ).

Of course, it's not a requirement or a high priority for these files, but it would be a nice touch, given how crucial and sensitive a thing it is. Just for reference, all official LineageOS downloads have their sha256 hashes posted and available.

Thanks for your response, and again, for your efforts and time in creating and maintaining this thread!

What's the difference between China-dev and Global-dev?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] elitap:
Hi there, thank you for maintain all of this. I recently updated form 14.1 to 15.1 using FW 8.4.19, but the battery is worse than before.

1) Is this because of the firmware or the LineageOs update?

2) And if it is the firmware what version, in your experience, has the best battery lifetime?

3) To get back to the old good battery lifetime, I am also willing to downgrade, but I cant remember which FW version I was on. But the new 9.5.2 seems to be promising or what do you think?

Thank you once more, this is a great place here :)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Phil_Smith:
It's just the naming of the MIUI version these files are taken and modified from.

If you wanna know what's behind a new version before flashing you need to check out the changelogs on the official MIUI release site and think about what changes might be firmware related.

Thanks you! : )

A ROM (generation!) update is way more likely to have a high impact on battery life than a firmware update.

Oreo sadly just suffers from very high mobile standby drain. This counts for every single Oreo ROM I was on so far...

If you wanna get better battery, see what happens when you turn off mobile data everytime you're using wlan. Will make an enormous difference.

Edit:

Also check in developer settings if "Mobile data always on" is deactivated.

Useless battery drainer that somehow is activated by default on some ROMs for reasons beyond my reasoning.

As long as I've been using Nougat ROMs and did have a little more insight to actual Nougat based firmware differences as I was doing testing for Xceed, I swore on the good old 7.5.4.

I would appreciate a feedback of how it goes with 9.5.2, if you should decide to roll back (which I believe will drastically bring back better battery life), but I'll re-upload 7.5.4 here later as well, so you can compare.

All the best!

Thank you phil, very interesting.

I have been looking around for a while, but I cant find any 14.1 nightlies any more. On the official LOS I can just find the 15.1 builds, the Nougat ROMs seem to be removed.

But maybe someone has still some stable version and can provide me a link? Or spot me the the correct download place?

I am defenitely keen to try the new 9.5.2 FW on Nougat. Would just be happy to get a good battery lifetime back.

Thank you :)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Phil_Smith:
You're welcome! But as far as I know, sadly there is not a single Nougat ROM that is currently maintained by anyone... You would have to stick with the latest version of any. There's the definite downside...

[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Phil_Smith:
For Nougat ROMs you can go with 7.5.4 dev, which has no twisted thermal stuff going and is rock solid.

Or you could try out either of the new stable versions, v9.5.2.0.

I still didn't get any feedback from anyone on Nougat ROMs how it goes with these.

Could be that they are too new for these Nougat ROMs that haven't been updated for months, but I can't say for sure.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] elitap:
Hi there, I initially had some problems after downgrading from 15.1(oreo) to 14.1(nougat) (the proximity sensor wasn't calibrated any more). My workaround was to installt the MIUI 9.5.2 calibrate the sensor there, and than install 14.1. So basically I am on the 9.5.2 firmware since a week and all seems to work smooth for now. Battery is way better than with recent los 15.1 builds and current firmwares, and the camara is also usable again. If I should look for something specific let me know, otherwise I had no issues so far.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Phil_Smith:
Thanks!

In general, the things to look out for are

- battery related changes (especially how mobile standby drain behaves)

- gps (how responsive, how accurate)

- thermal stuff (e.g.: are some high freqs never used? Does the device get a lot hotter than usually?...)

- general issues

- stuff I didn't think of in this list ;)

[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] aittamattia:
Everytime I have downgraded from Oreo to Noguat I had issues with proximity sensor, the only way to do that is to install first the Noguat Miui and then the custom Noguat rom. You can't calibrate the sensor on Oreo Miui rom and then flash a custom Noguat rom (and related firmware).

I decided to move back to last JDCTeam's Noguat rom, the best one in my opinion, all the Oreo roms drain too much battery. I'm on 7.9.22 firmware, the one suggested on the OP of the rom page and I can definitely say it's waaaay better, I'm just missing few Oreo things that I won't regret.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Phil_Smith:

Sorry for the late reply.

Don't get the problem to be honest..

So you got a bootloop after flashing fw 8.5.10 global on LOS 20180521?

Then you changed to 8.5.17? Is the issue resolved by now or do you still have boot problems?

Actually I don't think that this is fw-related.

I used my 8.5.10 on many ROMs without such problems (also LOS-based) and tested China and Global before I uploaded them here (as I always do - at least I look whether everything boots up correctly).

Please write back here again, if you still got issues!

All the best
