Sadly this doesn't work. It keeps crashing.

Already tried after enabling camera2api and it's still crashing.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] dfkt_:
GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8_Fix_R5Plus works for me.

(MGCamera_5.1.0.18_R5Plus_v.5.1.14_fix_crash doesn't work, it crashes.)

I've only tried it for a few hours, but it seems nice. Feeling almost like some of the old mdeejay builds, speed-wise. Except for one deal-breaker for my needs, it would be great to try further.

I'm keeping a spreadsheet of all the ROMs I tried, with the features that matter to me, and some benchmarks. Maybe it's of some use to you: https://imgur.com/a/3YpV5B1
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] h0ttentot:
Both doesn't work. No big deal, i don't care that much about taking pictures. Open camera works fine.

Thanks for the spreadsheet. Very useful.

I'm tired of trying roms. This one seems to be the best one for now.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] dfkt_:
For me, Omni is the best by far, followed by AEX. Both are old, discontinued builds, but beggars can't be choosers...

Can I have one feature request? I will be really grateful if I will be able deactivate warning red color on status bar when battery saver mode is activated.

Thank you
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] DeZwarteRijder:
I had a small problem when installing the rom and logging in to my google account. I couldn't verify my account through text(the only option available for me). So I skipped the option to login with my google account and to my surprise I did get the verification texts but the installer just wasn't able to read them. Is there anyway to get around this?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Falcon1:
Did you do clean

Did you perform a full swipe, that happens when the Rom is mixed with the old Rom, so it is highly recommended to do a full wipe. I told you because nothing of what you mentioned happened to me. I have installed this Rom just to test it with the whole updates several times already.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] ekowanz:
This one is really nice.. smooth and lightweight. Keep maintain it bro
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] DeZwarteRijder:
I cleaned everything except internal storage. Should I clean that too? Because I never do that and it seems to work fine with any other rom I've tried.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Falcon1:
Internal storage NO

I do not recommend you format internal storage because the whole data you have in your phone will be deleted, even the ROMS, GAPPS and Root files you are going to use for flashing later.

I thought its the best time to try out arco68's lineageos 15.1 on my device, but i wanted to make backup first. SDcard is out of space at the moment, so i went for PC backup but i hit the wall. I'm having issue with adb of course. I used TWRP Backup Tool (https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/tool-twrp-backup-restore-tool-pc-t3572241) but AdbWinApi.dll was not found. I went for searching to download correct drivers but with no success. Even Kies didn't recognized the device (which is i9595). I had USB debbuging turned on. Did anyone succeeded making the backup to PC? Where can i find right drivers if so.

California order #4486 arrived May 1. Unit is interesting, keyboard a bit wonky, kind of flimsy compared to Psion (as I recall), but getting used to typing on the layout. Planet toolbar is my issue and I'm not geeky like most of you so use small words. I clicked app bar menu and selected option to lock toolbar to bottom screen. It's locked, but so is the pop-up menu and any app that I open is not responding to type or touch- device is non-functional (for me, anyway). Any guidance is appreciated...Re-installed toolbar, working but locking not an option.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] tgp1994:
Hi everyone,

I have a 6.0 Stock ROM with Sense 7.0, and a '17 Subaru with a head unit that has MirrorLink. I used to be able to plug in my phone and I would get a notification saying that MirrorLink was enabled. However, I don't even see that notification anymore. Trying to select MirrorLink in the USB mode screen doesn't seem to do anything.

I'm wondering if I might have removed an app that's necessary for MirrorLink to function... Are there any apps besides HTC MirrorLink that I need for it to work?

Thank you!
[Other SmartWatches] JOnathan_JOnes_SICS:
I want to optimize an existing watchface of Polar M600.

I want to do that in the following way:

1. Create new Watchface with my needs

2. Add data from the sensors of the smartwatch

The 2. part is my problem. I cannot find a API to get data directly from the watch to show it on the watchface.

Has anybody experience with that? Is there an API to deal with the sensors?

My tilt is constantly asking me for the wifi password

and I want to store it permanently.

Is there an app to do that.

Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dgduris:
+1 on this.

Sometimes my phone simply connects right up to my WiFi network (home or office) sometimes it wants the passkey.

It's a potential embarassment when you live and work with iPhone users.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gman8966:
That would be nice to be able to save the key somewhere.

Especially when you reflash/hard reset, to be able to automatically put all of your wifi keys back in, would be great. My g/f has to have IT dept. where she works do it to her phone every time I flash her a new rom.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gqstatus0685:
Ok i think i may be able to help you. If I'm correct do this

Go to start

settings

connections tab then

hit WIFI

Tap and hold on your network on the list.

Hit Edit

It'll show you your network name, connects to blah blah blah, hit next

Authentication I have mines set to OPen with WEP security

Uncheck The key is automatically provided and enter your WEP key.

Hit Next and Finish

I remember reading a post back then saying to uncheck the box and that would solve the constant asking of the WEP key issue. Hope this helps if i find any other things i'll post back

A quick review after flashing this kernel a few hours ago.

Single core performance with elementalX are good but multi core performance are a bit low compared to clarity kernel.

Touch are responsif, fingerprint a bit slow.

I'm using RR ROM. Looking forward for next update.

Okay after using it for awhile here are my results

-Fingerprint is kind of slow compared to Clarity

-CPU usage is bugged in Kernel Auditor

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] jirasak2539:
Im not sure if it is asked before or not. Anyone knows the app that can actually take picture with more than 5 second shutter speed?(maybe 15 or 30 second would be amazing)It is one thing that I actually want to do with the phone camera. The app like Open camera can take longest exposure at 4.1 second and L camera with 5 second. I would love to be able to do the astrophotography with Pixel 2(I know that I should get the actual real camera for astrophotography but I still want to try it especially with Pixel 2 that considered one of the best phone camera right now) Im a little bit disappointed after I buy the phone knowing that it cant do the long exposure that most Chinese phone can do(maybe it is for extending phone life but still...)

https://research.googleblog.com/2017/04/experimental-nighttime-photography-with.html

with this blog released before Pixel 2 get announced make me think that maybe they could include this feature but they dont. The photo looks amazing and I hope they could include it in the future.

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] aryayush:
I bought the Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017) a year ago and to this day I think it is the perfect phone. I waxed poetic about it for several thousand words on my blog today.

In 2018, we saw the A3, A5 and A7 replaced with the A8, a device falling between the A5 and A7 of last year. But what about the A3? To start with, it wasn’t even released in all parts of the world, and now it’s been shelved completely. I know the argument, that there simply aren’t enough takers for a compact device, but boy would it have been lovely to see the line progress and improve with time, while keeping the same dimensions.

What do you guys think? Did you want to see an update to the A3 as much as I did? Which phone will you update to if your A3 were to stop functioning today?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Nojevah:
Nice blog post (I used GSMArena like you with common settings). I agree on you. This phone is (nearly) perfect and it is really a shame that no brand understand the need for a compact smartphone.

Unfortunately, it is not perfect for me since I really like/need notification LED. Another default is the lack of B28 (LTE, used in France) unlike A5 or S8.

So if I had to use another phone, it would be the S8 (I don't use fingerprint) because of notification LED & B28.

But for now I don't need B28 and for notification LED replacement, I use an app called "Glimpse notifications" (with recurring notifications every 30 seconds without much battery drain). So I'll use this A3 until I find a deal on S8.
