Thanks !

Im also having the same issue. Whats weird is I also tried the same app I installed to my colleague's S8 and it works fine. Only thing I can think of is the dpi since thats the only thing I changed
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] zelenko:
Im on alexis rom and all work beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] renardiidx:
I can confirm it's the dpi. Reverting it back to 360 makes Lockstar work again.

Sad, won't keep my phone at a crap dpi just for a lockscreen!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] wEaKlY27:
I knew it! Yeah me too I will just pass on that new lockscreen for now....
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] butteringknife:
I followed every step. Every thing is working except the Task Changer. I have checked the in use tab but still nothing has changed. Did someone else faced the same issue?

Thx that helped

But ain't gonna switch to 360 DPI

Phone looks like a toy then

Still thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] pushux:
Thank you for sharing the APKs.

Can't really get Good Lock to work. Either I am doing something wrong or I am missing something. Eitger way not getting it to work.

This is all i see when opening the app.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Nezzox:
Yeah, that one is to launch all the other ones you installed. It doesn't work outside.... Korea?... I think.

Anyway, try this alternative. https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s9-plus/themes/app-t3805967

Oh damn, this app is awesome! I didn't think much of it, when I read about it here on xda a few weeks ago, but now that I tried it...

I love the routines and other customizations. Never thought that Samsung would release this for old devices.

Best thing about it: via routines you can have your phone unlocked as long as it's connected to your home WiFi.

Had this option via xposed module back on Android 5+6 and missed it ever since.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] quaium:
This is really frustrating but most of the time when I'm taking a photo I'm getting this message "sharpening your photo please steady the device". I thought it might be the Master AI so in turned that off... Still happens. Especially with low light shots or zoomed in shots even in bright light.

How the heck do I stop this from happening?? It's so frustrating!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] orangecroc:
It's when the camera combining the monochrome data to increase detail.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] quaium:
Is there no way of stopping this from happening?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] orangecroc:
Use a different camera app or shoot RAW.

It's a baked in part of Huawei multi sensor processing.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] xsacha:
Basically you can use another app, lose detail and lose the message.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] paul678:
It seems to be a bug in the camera software. It does not handle the telephoto zoom correctly and applies sharpening algorithms when not necessary.

Have a look at the report from Android Authority https://www.androidauthority.com/huawei-camera-software-867702/
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] orangecroc:
It's not a bug, it's a separate process from the unsharp mask algorithm in the jpg processing.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] paul678:
I'm saying it's a bug because it should not run all processes when zooming with the telephoto. In Android Authority's samples you can see that the post processing seems to run like it is in digital zoom mode even if it's optical.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] sniper20:
It's a totaly normal process, and you see the messages when the camera apllies HDR color correction to the photo. Other smartphones just say HDR during the photo saving, this one says this message. It's not a bug, and there's no way of disabling it. It's just NORMAL.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] inepty:
I understand this message to mean "Please wait while I ruin your photo."

I always get it (literally 100% of the time) when I'm using the 3x zoom and the result is always an absolutely hideous photo in which all detail has been completely destroyed. For some reason the resulting image is always 10MP, which makes me think it was taken using the 40MP sensor and binned down, however it's shot at f2.4 and the phone reports an 80mm equivalent focal length, which suggests the 3x zoom lens but that's an 8MP sensor... So just what the hell is going on? Here's an imgur album of a photo supposedly taken using the zoom lens in ideal photography conditions this morning. The light was very good. I used the Photo mode with AI master turned off, resolution set to 10MP in the settings, standard color setting, 4D predictive focus on.

Unfortunately I can't post links but go to imgur.com album /a/JEMOtHG.

It looked fine on the phone's screen but it looks hideous on a larger screen. Just look at the 100% crop - it would make a lovely watercolor painting. The photo has been sharpened to oblivion and completely ruined. The camera has retained highlights in the clouds to create an unrealistic, though beautiful IMO, cloudscape while blowing away highlights on the ships. The shadows on the trees in the foreground are mangled to the point that it looks like a single mass. This photo is unequivocally garbage.

In fact, 70% of the photos this phone takes look like total garbage. They're not just mediocre, they're bad. They look like enlarged and sharpened photos taken with an ancient, low-resolution digital camera. Maybe it's because I have no idea what the phone's actually doing with its hardware when I'm using it because the software is so bad? It just does stuff contrary to what I might expect based on the information provided at the time of the exposure and the result is invariably bad. I've tried every mode and had zero success in any mode.

Even when using the main sensor, if the lighting is slightly dim, out comes the sharpening and noise-reduction algorithm and out go your details. Even in situations where it's not really necessary, like in good indoor light, the phone goes mental with its post-processing. It even does it in broad daylight when there's a big difference in highlights and/or in the scene. If you have harsh, directional sunlight in one part of the scene, expect it to be sharpened to death.

I read all the glowing reviews and they leave me wondering whether everyone's crazy or whether I am. I really want to like this phone but the camera is 3 or 4 out of 10 so far. It makes me wonder whether Huawei's engineers have ever seen a photo before.

I'm inclined to return this phone. The camera is so bad that I'd rather go back to my Nexus 6P, which is 2.5 years old and takes effortlessly, consistently and predictably superior photos.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] orangecroc:
It keeps the detail when it says it on mine with 3x zoom.

I think maybe your technique is off? View attachment 4536191
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] inepty:
What technique do you propose? I don't see any options or means to remedy the problem. It seems to me that no matter what mode I shoot or what settings I toggle, I get images that are post-processed to oblivion when using the 3x zoom, and usually when using the main sensor too.

I'd love to hear what you're doing that's giving you results you're happy with. My guess is that you're also on a newer build - I've got the North American variant CLT-L04 8.1.0.109(C792).

Incidentally, your attachment is scaled down to a small fraction of its original size so it doesn't really demonstrate much.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Magnus3D:
The 109 firmware is pretty old by now, things got better with the camera when you run firmware 128 or the latest 131. Still things could be improved but it is now better than in the early days of firmware releases.

This is taken with 5x zoom by hand on auto. I see no problem at all. In fact it's outstanding if consider its taken by hand. View attachment 4536211

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Slash8915:
I definitely think it's your firmware. Things have improved pretty dramatically since your version.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] inepty:
Well that sucks, since no newer firmware is available to me yet. I find it hard to believe Huawei would ship a premium photography-centric device with software that's so defective it can hardly take a photo worth keeping, or that it's selling functionally defective devices with this firmware 2 months after launch. Then again, maybe I shouldn't be too surprised.

I guess I'm at the right place if I want to solve this problem myself but I think I might just take it back and not void my warranty or trouble myself any further. This is an excellent phone and I want to keep it but I'm disappointed - photography should have been the first thing they got right and they fumbled.

Too bad because the specs are brilliant and the cameras are awesome in terms of the hardware. In practice, though, it always comes down to software. Thanks for your help, all.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] orangecroc:
Build 110

Natural colours and AI off to reduce the amount of processing.

When using zoom, make sure you wait for the stabilisation to start and tuck your elbows in. Where possible use the software shutter button over the volume rocker as it causes less movement.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
inepty, I second your remarks. That's what I have experienced, too, so far, and I don't think it got much better on .128 which I am using.

A few things to keep in mind:

- The 3x zoom only kicks in if you do not focus to anything closer to 1-1.5 metres. If you do, it will use the digital zoom which looks crappy.

- If you use Auto, Portrait or HDR mode, the images WILL be heavily processed

- If you use Aperture or Pro mode, they will NOT. I am so far happy with the results of these two modes.

- The monochrome mode seems not to suffer from the watercolor effects and the overprocessed look, even though the sensor is smaller

- Turn off the AI. It's pointless. It's optimized for poppy instagram style pictures. If you want this, go ahead. If you want more natural pictures, turn it off.

- Try different camera apps like Open Camera. You will of course lose fancy stuff like HDR, Zoom etc., but the resulting images are much more natural without any oversharpening or watercolor effects. You will have some grain, tho (because no noise reduction).

- The Zoom is a bit finicky. Sometimes, it gives me really good, clear and beautiful results, sometimes it looks like a crappy digital zoom picture, even though the exifs state that the zoom lens was used. Not sure what's the problem behind this.

- The night mode is a bit of a tech gimmick. Yep, it shoots photos at night but they are really blurry and lack details. If you resize them to 1000px, they will look great, but they are not made for larger resolutions or big screens. I know, a blurry picture is better than no picture at all, but I wouldn't use it the way Huawei seems to advertise it (Hey, take stunning city photos at night!) because the results are messy, unless resized to a stamp.

- And finally: The raw files are quite good most of the time. For pictures that are important (Aka: Photography instead of documentation), it's probably best to use the raw file and develop this.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] orangecroc:
If you select 3x zoom it uses that lens.

It doesn't use digital zoom just because you're close to the subject.

The stabilisation struggles to engage on close subject, so this may be the issue you're encountering.

These are 1x then 3x then 5x then 10x

Even the 10x digital zoom doesn't look as bad as people seem to be making out.

All are auto, standard colour, no AI in poor light.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
Nope, it doesn't work that easily, at least on my device. You can select 3x zoom and still get a digital zoom image not shot with the tele lens. Try it! Try close distance and fast burts, you will see it yourself.

And please do post full resolutions of your images. Anything moderately sharp can look good at this small size.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] orangecroc:
I am using Tapatalk to post images.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] orangecroc:
This is a shot from a burst close up with 3x zoom.

This is definitely not digital zoom.

You can tell its not from the depth of field.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
Look at these two attachments. They were taken immediately after each other. They position and distance hasn't changed much. One triggered the digital zoom, one triggered the tele lens. The phone chose why, I have no idea. This happens from time to time with my device.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] orangecroc:
They are not the same level of zoom.

The first is 2x second is 3x

There isn't a 2x lens, so it has to be digital zoom from the 40mp sensor.

Just differing white balance and stabilisation not kicking in on one.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
Really? I think it's totally evident. How can you *see* stabilization was not kicking in? ;)

Please open the full size image and zoom to 100%. You will see the overall upscaled appearance, jiggy lines and stuff. If you want to look at the exifs, the digital one is f1.8 and the tele one is f2.4.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] inepty:
There's a very easy way to prove to yourself that he's right. Focus on something far away and hit the 3X button, then use your finger to cover the lens to discover which is in use. You'll find that it's the top-most lens, which is the 3X. Remove your finger. Focus on something near and hit the 3X button, then use your finger to cover the lens to discover which is in use. Now it's the middle lens, which is the 40MP sensor. You're getting a digital crop.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
they are exactly the same. Taken in a series only seconds apart. Zoom was not touched. Look at the exifs.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] orangecroc:
Look at the size of the leaves on the end of the branch. They are not the same size.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
This just shows what I described a few posts above:

Take a burst with the zoom available, and your body (if you handheld the phone) moves ever so slightly. This caused the distance to change a little (moved closer, maybe just 1 centimetre or two), the phone decides that it is now too close for the zoom lens to use, it switches to digital crop.

In total, I took around 4 shots here, where 3 of them used the zoom lens and one of them used the digital zoom. The digital zoom picture was in the middle of the series. I think while pressing the shutter button, my body moved a little bit towards the leaves, and then back. Hence the result of 1 image falling out of range.

Feel free to test the same thing yourself, not resting the phone on something to allow some body movements.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] orangecroc:
Burst mode probably switches back and forth between sensors to allow more shots per second.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
Maybe. But you can really test it with your finger. If you are too close with 3x zoom (less than 1m) it will switch to the f1.8 lens. At least my device does it regularly.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] saisallo:
I'm on 131 firmware and, apart from the new slow mo function, nothing changed and also I'm starting considering to sell this phone and go for smasung 9+ ... so sorry, but I completely agree with the post of "inepty" ... Yes I can use different camera apps, but I'll loose some of the more interesting finctions like optical zoom (the main reason that I had for buying this phone). Also I must say that optical zoom is not available in regular pro mode or at last the 1x 3x 5x switch is not available . Also other modes loose this function like hdr mode. Also I've to add that the panorma mode is very very unreliable and the "stitching" is always visible much worse than my old htc one m7... Oh Lord, why I've bought this UNsmartphone ???

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] buzzcut18:
You're not crazy.

I find the camera quite bad for a flagship phone. Like you, I see all these glowing reports and I don't know how people aren't seeing the faults. The sharpened photos have a fake look about them. I hope the camera app will be updated with more control to turn off such processes.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] ottchris:
I don't claim to have used the camera a lot. However, I did find this video which suggests that there is a lot more control over the camera than you might think. I keep it in its own playlist so I can easily refer to it.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] aizyy:
The temporary solution is to download a camera app from playstore. The sharpening photo is so annoying I can't take proper photo when it's moving. The app that worked for me is Mi X Camera though I still use the default camera of my phone when I want to use the manual features. Haha
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] DJAC63:
I know my response is two years late and for os for the P30 pro.... but I second every word of your post. The P30 Pro behaves in this manner under all lighting conditions and the results are simply horrible and unuseable.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] andrewnapper:
I currently have the p20 pro and clearing up the Camera apps cache has seemed too help with the issue! And when you use tap too focus, if it automatically makes the photo over exposed just lower it using the little slider till it looks abit better and it shouldnt do it AS much! Hope this helps!

Edit - Night mode SOMETIMES works wonders in just normal or tough lighting aswell! Seems to mostly be software related :( Wish it could just be fixed for good!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] reckless_glitch:
People saying "it's just normal" to something like that really freak me out - sorry.

It's like saying, driving on the right side of the street is just normal. NO, its just NOT, it's a DECISION, no matter how capital your letters! There is no god of mobile phone photography nor a universal mathematical constant determining the exact ammount of sharpening post processing "though shallest apply on thy selfie". It's rather some senior chinese developers or CEOs or Whoevers saying "give it more sharpening, even more... YES BAAAM thats it, my teenage daughter will love it".

Rules and Norms (where the word normal derives from) are made by people based on their concepts of believe, taste, morals, biases etc. and can and should always be questioned.

May the focus be with you.

[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Filke:
Hello mates,

Can you tell me which one is better or which one do you prefer more - Honor 9 EMUI 5.1 or Xiaomi Mi6 MIUI 8.0?

And which one is better Honor or Xiaomi considering stock ROM updates and custom ROMs?
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Suibian:
Mi6 is much better in terms of custom roms and development.And games prove to be running smoother on Mi 6 currently.However since huawei is going to add GPU Turbo on Honor 9 so it remains to be seen later...And personally I do think Honor 9 is prettier than Mi 6:p
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Filke:
Yes, I agree with you Mi6 has much more powerful chipset Snapdragon 835 than Kirin 960, but Honor 9 looks prettier than Mi6 and somehow better build quality.

But what about camera quality and which is better running EMUI or MIUI?

Honor comes with EMUI 5.1, but as I've seen it should be upgraded to EMUI 8.1 with OREO 8.1 in near future.
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Suibian:
Currently it is EMUI 8.0 and I don't know whether there will be 8.1.

I think MIUI is better in many aspects (more themes,more interesting functions,etc.)But it depends on your own taste.And Xiaomi has a better reputation in bug fixing and software update (while Huawei don't).Many users hate the low update speed.

About camara,some of my friends complain about Mi 6's poor photos.I am fully satisfied with Honor 9 camara.Its quality is great!

And to say about one of the heating topics,Project Treble,honor 9 bootloops on some treble roms.Also it is known that Huawei phones brick easily.So If you are a flash addict like me I do advise not purchasing Honor 9.(I must be dreaming for I didn't look through the development section before buying)

First of if this isn't in the right area or site move or let me know. I forgot what as a was been gone took long. Lol.

So i have a glass screen protector (pure gear HD) for my lg v30 that some how got pitted by sand on a hot day... Or infuesed. The protector has white dots all over it about the size of sand and smaller. Its still smooth to the touch and when i rub my finger over them. Not sure if it got hot and what ever dust was on top infuesed into the glass cover. I would pull it off but it's a 40$ glass protector which has a warrienty but haven't heard back from pure gear yet. So what am asking is it possible for a glass cover to get hot enough to infuse something on it. I've also tried cleaning it with alcohol and handsanitizer. No luck they are in the glass. Thanks if any help comes.
