[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] $$ D@ ViNcI $$:
Hey guy,

SM-G925F is my Galaxy S6 Edge model. The phone is stucks on first boot logo and I cant turn the phone off, unless the battery discharges. I can enter the download mode but in odin the process doesnt want to go further that this :

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin engine v(ID:3.1301)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> Total Binary size: 3604 M
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..

It stays on that and nothing happens. I cant enter recovery while holding the buttons for it (up, home n power). Tried in Kies "Firmware upgrade and initialization" but it ask for the Serial number which I dont have (I dont have the box of the phone anymore). I might be able to find the IMEI but would it work instead the serial number?

Any ideas what else to try? The phone was working fine, I fall asleep with it and when I woke up it was stuck on the booting logo, no idea what I could have done to it.

Thanks n advance :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Syed117:
Sorry guys, complete amateur here. I have an AT&T S8+ that was unlocked using a code from AT&T.

I switched to T-Mobile and my phone worked perfectly after simply inserting a T-Mobile sim.

Carriers push updates over the air and I assumed I would have put in an AT&T sim to get the oreo update, but it's been out forever and I have not been able to update my phone. I've been busy and never got around to it. My phone was working fine so I just it slide.

I've tried using an AT&T sim. I've restarted my phone with the AT&T sim in it. I've tried manually searching for the update. I've tried smart switch. I even went to the Samsung experience store in NYC and they had no solution. My phone will not update.

Any suggestions?

I've been reading some of these threads and I'm not sure if this is correct, but I can use Odin 3.13.1 to flash to CRB9? That would get me to the first Oreo release?

Sorry if this is not the correct place for this thread. Thanks

Does anyone use the discord application in gp?

In my gp, the microphone in the discord gets a little strange in roms based on the lineage ... The microphone is cutting the audio and echoing during the voice call in the discord!

My friend said that it has to correct or soften in the build.prop but until today I could not!

I can not stand to use ordinary roms like Slimsammy because of this problem! Please, somebody help me!

How to install GCam on A2 Lite :)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] ncar123:
I think root and then activate through build.prop
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] BubuXP:
Follow the guide to install Magisk, then install the module "Camera2 API enabler" in Magisk manager.

Reboot (it could need two reboots) and install a GCam from here.

I'm testing Arnova's v8.1 GCam and it seems working for now.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Curunir:
Thanks, this works great for me.

It's worth mentioning that this also enables 4k video recording @ 30 FPS which Xiaomi wouldn't give us. I don't think it uses image stabilization though..
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] BubuXP:
I don't know. Just today I recorded something with GCam 8.1 and it looked very stable compared to my previous Redmi Note 4. Maybe EIS isn't available in 4K, only in FHD (my recording resolution).

BTW, today Arnova released GCam 8.2, but I didn't tested it.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] mytowyn:
Did the front cam (Portrait) works for you ??? fo Arnova Gcam 8.1 ?

Have you tried ?

Mine is not working .
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] BubuXP:
I'm trying with 8.2 and it doesn't work too. But disabling HDR from the upper toolbar fix the crash.

Maybe we should find a GCam more compatible with our device. I tried Arnova because it is known to work well with Redmi Note 5, and RN5 has the same back camera setup as Mi A2 Lite.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] rMlk:
do you know if is it possible to use the mia1 tool to enable cam2api?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] BubuXP:
There is no TWRP for daisy at the moment, and a GCam port zip neither. So that tool won't work.

But you can do it manually: after installing Magisk, edit manually the system file to enable Camera2 API and then remove Magisk (by flashing the original boot.img) and uninstall the Magisk Manager app. Then you can download and test what port of GCam works better with daisy.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Curunir:
For me the front cam doesn't work with HDR enhanced (crash), but it does with HDR on.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] machine1104:
a volte mi si blocca il tasto per fare la foto se mette hdr avanzato

come risolvo? che impostazioni usi?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] BubuXP:
Non faccio tante foto, quindi non ho testato accuratamente.

Ho indicato la mod di Arnova nei post precedenti perché è quella più compatibile con il Redmi Note 5, che ha in teoria le stesse camere posteriori dell'A2 Lite, e quindi potrebbe essere la più adatta al nostro telefono. Ma è tutto in teoria, in pratica un'altra mod potrebbe essere più compatibile con il nostro telefono.

I miei risultati con la GCam di Arnova: se non funziona l'HDR avanzato usa l'HDR normale, che quello funziona. Sulla camera davanti non funziona nessun HDR, devi toglierlo del tutto.

Secondo me ti conviene andare nella pagina con tutte le mod della GCam e provarle tutte, e vedere quale funziona meglio (e magari condividi con noi i risultati).

I don't take many pictures so I didn't test Arnova's GCam carefully.

I suggested Arnova's GCam because it's the most compatible with Redmi Note 5, that uses the same back sensors as our phone, so it could be the most compatible for Mi A2 Lite also. But it's only a speculation, maybe there is another modded GCam out there that works better with out phone.

My results with Arnova's Gcam: if advanced HDR doesn't work, use normal HDR. On the front camera, don't use HDR at all.

The best thing to do is to try other modded GCam and report your experience here in the forum, so we can find what's the best GCam for daisy.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] BubuXP:
To be more precise, his camera is ofilm_ov5675_ii and my camera is qtech_ov5675_i

I tested some GCams but I didn't find one that works with HDR+ on the front camera, only HDR at max (and often neither it).

I also found that both those front camera models are used on Redmi 5 plus, so maybe a GCam working with that model should work with daisy too...
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] iLovPieNCake:
OTA updates are possible with Magisk, you just have to be careful not to uninstall magisk.

---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------

I installed GCam on my device by modifying Build.prop to include HAL3 persist & installed Version 8.2

Rear Camera

Portrait mode works

HDR+ Enhanced works

4K works

1080P 60FPS w/EIS works

Video Autofocus works

Front Camera

HDR+ Works

HDR+ Enhanced DOES NOT WORK

Portrait Mode DOES NOT WORK

1080p 60FPS Works

So almost everything works but the fact that you can't have individual HDR front and rear camera settings sucks. You have to disable HDR Enhanced before taking a selfie.

Even front-camera portrait mode worked fine, but it's a little dark. for now it's awesome.

Hope some developer can make a direct fixex version for our phone.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] ppaladin.01:
Hi guys! Few years since I needed to root a phone, so I would like to know:

1- If I install Magisk and enable the camera2api via Magisk module and after that I uninstall Magisk, the camera2api will remain enabled?

2- If so, will I be able to install OTA updates?

3- And if yes for question 2, after the OTA the camera2api will revert to its original state or will it remain enabled?

Thanks in advance.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] BubuXP:
Premise: OTA updates will work only if it finds all the phone partition in its original state.

If you remove Magisk, all the modules installed will be removed too. You keep OTA updates because if you remove Magisk, it will restore the original "boot" partition (the partition where Magisk is installed).

Alternative: while Magisk is installed, you can manually edit the build.prop file to enable camera2api, so when you uninstall Magisk, camera2api remains enabled.

But editing build.prop means that you are tampering the "system" partition, so OTA update will not install because the partition is not anymore in its original state.

You can fix this by flashing via fastboot the original "system.img" of your current ROM build, but it could not be always available easily.

I suggest to keep Magisk, it will not make any harm if you shut down all his features, but it has a lot of nice modules available, like YouTube Vanced, systemized Greenify, etc.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] ppaladin.01:
Thanks a lot BubuXP.

I had figured out that editing the build.prop would compromise the OTA updates, that's why I would prefer using the Magisk module to enable the camera2api.

The reason I don't want to keep Magisk installed is because I've read several reports of users having slowdowns and lag issues when Magisk is installed on different phones, Mi A2 and A2 Lite included. I chose Mi A2 Lite over Redmi Note 5 due to Android Vanilla experience and it's buttery smooth usage (I hate MIUI, my experience with AOSP custom roms is that they are hardly as stable or at least battery efficient as the orignal one, and also the increasing lockdown time from Xiaomi to allow MIUI users to unlock their bootloaders ). My last phones were Moto's, so close enough to stock Android.

If Magisk compromises that is a huge bummer for me. I guess I will wait if we can have an alternative in the near future.

Thanks again for helping out this noob over here with your guides and help. Kudos.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] BubuXP:
Magisk will not slow down the phone by itself. Some of its module could (Xposed in my case), but if you need only the API2 enabled, that module will not slow down anything.

And never trust 100% other people's experience, because it may be very different from your, for a million reasons. If possible, always test by yourself before taking decisions.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] ppaladin.01:
You're right, but my friend has got an A2 and right after he installs Magisk even without any module the UI starts having some scrolling issues and the multitasking also becomes a bit slugish.

Maybe this could fix it? https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77225403&postcount=21

But the best alternative for me would be something like this:

Any word on an update for gcam 6+ to fix a few ongoing issues:

Random times, the camera will not focus, even in bright light.

HDR photos have pattern noticeable in solid color areas like a blue sky.

Random, but more often than not, after a night sight photo is taken, when you return to night sight for another photo the app shuts down.

Note that this issues also occurs on both the Pixel 2 and gcam 6 builds running Pie.

gcam pixel2 Version is: Arnova's v8.2: GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.2.apk (Arnova8G2, 2018-08-13, changelog)

I just replaced my battery for the first time and did a pretty bad job taking out the speaker grills. Battery life is now good but seeing the scratches makes me a little sad.

Still a little sad it isn't mint condition anymore but that's what happens when I'm inexperienced at taking it apart. I have a golden a7 too but think I'll try ordering the other color for grills since my black case hides most of the back anyway. Only fingerprint sensor and camera are seen gold. Also I'm afraid to drop it and can't use it without a case like others lol
