[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] FangXIII:
It's true, I guess it was worth a shot. I'm only asking because I checked the mi max 3 vs pixel 2 gcam comparison on XDA the other day, and IMO the mi max 3 was better than the pixel 2 in almost all the shots, I was shocked myself, so I wanted to know if it improved by a lot when compared to the mi max 2.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] flipp0:
In January I posted a comparison between Redmi 5 Plus and Mi 5S, using the ported gcam app on both phones.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/137560037@N04/albums/72157692005458944

Even though Mi 5s has a "much better" image sensor, the photo quality was very close IMO. The reason? As I said earlier, the photo quality from smartphone cameras is mostly about software optimizations.

IMO all phones produce more or less the same results when using Gcam and HDR+. You may find minor differences here and there, but not any large differences.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Zanr Zij:
I'm waiting Max 3 6G/128G. As I know Max 3 has all Samsung camera sensors which are more compatible with GCam so result will be better. HDR+ processing speed also improved on higher performance Max 3 :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] pystolero:
I got both phone. And also the third one, the mi max prime, first of all! ^^.

All are rooted. But i'm in vacation. So... You need to wait. But I can allready said that mi max 3 cam is more more capable that cam of the mi max 1...
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] flipp0:
Do you refer to the stock camera or the gcam mod with hdr+?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] pystolero:
The stock one. I have trouble with magisk module and i'm unable to install camera2api...
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] PianoMonkey:
I have both Mi Max 2 and 3, both with GCam installed (but different versions)

The Max 3 has more/different GCams available (that don't crash), and thus has better quality
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] AdamSanJuan:
Do I need root to install them on Mi Max 3?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] PianoMonkey:
To enable camera2 api yes, which let's you use functions like HDR
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] AdamSanJuan:
Is it worth it to just wait for the impending update that will enable the Camera2 Api?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] PianoMonkey:
You should do yourself a favor and install a custom OS anyways, and have your phone rooted

One of the reasons I prefer Android is rooted apps that give me a more pleasant experience, like Adblock, custom keyboard add-ons, Xposed

It also takes 1 second to apply the Gcam patch if your phone is rooted

[Android Head-Units] Recma:
Hello,

It's my first post here, but I've allready read and found many informations on this forum. I'm french sorry for my english ! :D

I have a big problem with my Ownice C500 OL-6666G : Few days ago, when I was BT calling the unit has suddenly stopped and reboot. Since this event, the unit is in a boot loop, it restarts, show boot logo then black screen for 15 seconds and then restarts, etc. I've made a video : h t t p s ://we.tl/t-7buTPOl1NZ

I have search for similar problem but found no solution.

I have tried to :

- Access recovery, but it doesn't work. I've tried many combinations of power button, reset and screen touching... Nothing works. It's only indicate in green "detected" at the upper left corner when boot logo is displayed, then black screen and reboot ;

- Launch a firmware update through USB and SD-Card, same problem, it doesn't launch, it's only indicate in green "detected" at the upper left corner when boot logo is displayed, then black screen and reboot. I've tested many firmware found on this thread : h t t p ://forum.carpad.vn/threads/huong-dan-chay-firmware-dau-owince-c500.23. I've tested 3561s and 3562s versions. I've tested the different USB port and remove all accessories (USb and SD). :eek:

I've done many search and maybe there is other solutions, but I need some help :

- Access recovery in order to wipe data or factory reset. But what is the procedure to access recovery on C500 unit ?

- using sdimage like C200 to force firmware update. Unfortunately, I have not found any sdimage for C500. Is this method also compatible with C500 ?

- Using USB cable to connect a portable PC and launch firmware update with RK3 firmware tools (or similar for C500), but I'm not sure this will work since the unit is continuously rebooting ;

- Unlock the bootloader, but I've found no information for ownice unit...

Thanks in advance for your response ! :D
[Android Head-Units] sysMak3r:
to factory reset:

reset the unit with rst buton, then tap tap the screen with 5 fingers. hope it helps

or when you put the usb with firmware on it, reset the unit with rst buton then slide one finger in the right part of the screen in up/down motion

Downgrading Aristo 2 to Nougat

Install THIS version of LGUP, It does not require uppercut (make sure you do not run uppercut when using this LGUP) and supports almost all LG phones.

It also has many additional developer mode features.

Install LGUP Dual Mode(Dev/User) on your Windows PC

Download Aristo 2 10k firmware, available here:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603847051

Once you have downloaded the 10K image, flash it using these instructions:

Install a specific .KDZ image to your LG phone using LGUP

If your phone was not originally an Aristo 2, but is a compatible cv1 phone and you don't mind turning it into an Aristo 2, flash the device using the Partition DL option, then select all partitions.
[Xposed General] misterbobdobalina:
As the title implies, if I do

findAndHookMethod() { //method 1
}
findAndHookMethod() { //method 2
}

do I have to try/catch each call in order for it to reach //method 2 in case //method 1 isn't found?

Also what happens if I get an Exception inside:

afterHookedMethod(MethodHookParam param) throws Throwable

?

Do I have to make sure no Exception escapes from that hook?

Where is such an Exception caught? Will it break the program being manipulated, or will it just be disregarded?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] straightup:
Hello everyone, I'm waiting my phone to arrive next week with unlocked bootloader and Official Global ROM (the phone itself is the Chinese version), but after seeing so many threads regarding bricked phones I got afraid I will brick mine too. So I want to ask a few questions and summarize all the things around the Bootloader and ROMs about MI 8.

1. How I can find if the phone's Bootloader is Unlocked for real or not, because i see there are some Fake Unlocks which is not good of course.

2. IF the Bootloader is really unlocked can I flash TWRP through fastboot like on all other devices with these commands:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

fastboot reboot

or there is another way to flash TWRP to Mi 8?

3. Can you flash a ROM to Mi8 using TWRP or only through Mi FlashTool? And again - is there something more special or unusual in flashing ROM to Mi8?

4. IF the Bootloader is Unlocked is it possible for the phone to RE-LOCK or getting into boot loop after updating through OTA or by Hard Resetting the phone, because I read here and there people had unlocked Mi 8, but after updating the phone through OTA or after hard resetting the phone they went into boot loop/-relocked. I'm not quite sure if I believe this, based on my previous experience with flashing phones, but who knows... so if someone can confirm or deny this, please answer.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Jeik:
1. You will see a lock icon under the kernel logo if it's unlocked.

2. Yep

3. I use TWRP to flash stuff to my Mi 8 SE, I doubt the Mi 8 is a magical exception

4. Not sure, don't even do a dumb thing like that, use Xiaomi.eu builds instead. I flashed a pure stock firmware once and it only overwrote TWRP with the stock recovery ( it became completely stock, simply put )

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] s7eVe90:
Hello guys,

I am new to the forum and a proud owner of Mi 8 /dipper/. I read every post in this tread /and in many others/ and I have some questions:

1. Currently my device is on 8.8.9 eu rom so I would like to update to 8.8.16 eu rom. From settings I check for update and it shows "up to date". My options are that I can download the new rom, transfer it to the phone and from there either hit "choose update package" from settings or flash via twrp. What is the difference between the two choices? I read that if flash via twrp then I need to wipe dalvik/cache, but can I update via os settings and if "yes" do I need then to boot twrp and again wipe dalvik/cache?

2. My device came with unlocked bootloader so I presume it was unlocked with someone else account. If I decide to go china stable/stock for my phone/ and lock the bootloader, then will I apply and wait to unlock it again? If I download Mi unlock and hit "unlock", while the bootloader is unlocked /dont know is it possible/ will my account bind to the device?

Thank you in advance,

Is it possible to convert .nbh to nk.nbf to be able to flash this rom on a prophet?
[General Topics] l3v5y:
It depends on where the nbh is from. To do it, you'll have to dump it into SYS/OEM (I'd use a hypercore related tool for this) and then rebuild it into an OS.nb before converting it to nk.nbf for flashing.

Is there any way to fix Goodix Fingerprint ghost touch issue?
[Xiaomi Mi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Mord0rr:
Dear friends

I had my MN3 unlocked, rooted and with TWRP.

Yesterday i did install a Viper4sound module and after some hours, it did start loop.

I went TWRP, made factory clean, then system, data and other 2 i dont remember, (no efs or persist!!)

Try flash again international rom, but give errors.

So i use Mi Flash tool and again international rom....with success....but it takes forever to start, i stop it, reboot, and then when enter logo, another loop...

Try agai Mi Flash with success, but this time to lock.

Now, it boots, give a error of Gcam process stop, encryption error, and a option on midle screen to reset.

And if i try use Mi Flash, it gives error of cannot flash because its locked....

Now i have a stone....and i don't have phone, and tomorrow i have a plane to catch. Also Mi Tool cant recognise the phone, strangly.

I have at this moment:

Official recover:

Bootloader

Any help would be highly appreciate....
[Xiaomi Mi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Daishinkan Beerus:
Download mi unlock tool, unlock your phone first

Then you can flash through mi flash tool.

But for your phone to unlock through mi unlock tool,you must have a mi account & permission to unlock the bootloader.

& If you want gcam to work ,when you flash fastboot rom(not recovery room) through the mi flash tool,choose the option Flash all(don't choose the option,flash all & lock).

Then after booting your phone,enter fastboot mode, download the official TWRP for mi note 3, & fastboot flash TWRP.img through adb command prompt.

Then in the twrp, flash magisk,flash -

1.magisk camera 2 API module

2.EIS for Nexus 5X module

3.Front camera Portrait fix module

& Safety net fix module

After that you can reboot your system & download GCam & your Gcam won't force close.

I'm not sure that it applies for Mi note 3 but for Redmi note 5 and Mi 8 it is required - because of anti-rollback for Note 5 pro and in Mi 8 (china variant) if you lock the bootloader with global stable rom installed it will lead to bricked device :mad:.
