1st, reboot into OS, then open up Device Manager and change view to Show hidden devices. You should see a new category named 'ADB Interface' and underneath that 'Fastboot Interface (Google USB ID)'.

If not, you will also see 'ADB Device' for Other Devices category:

Download adb/fastboot software, download Joan TWRP 3.2.1 img file and place it in adb/fastboot folder, then send your phone into Download mode:

Open up cmd and type the following after changing directory to Adb/fastboot folder: fastboot devices (see if your device is there), fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img or (whatever file is named).img, then fastboot boot TWRP.img or (whatever file is named).img
[General Questions and Answers] Detained Developer:
Hi Fellow members ! I am new here.

I have built a very basic android keyboard. (See the image)[IMG="My Keyboard"]https://i.stack.imgur.com/KtABa.png[/IMG]

Now, I want to add predictive text functionality in it. Which requires SuggestionStripView

I read some posts on StackOverflow which led me to some links which had the JAVA part of it and I understood that.

But, I couldn't find any post, blog, video, example which contained Front End Part of it.

When I tried myself I got an error which basically said that I can not use any layout with KeyboardView

So my question is how do I MERGE my KeyboardView and SuggestionStripView in order to create a Complete Keyboard?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
The A2 camera app is somewhat complex. One of the reviews I read indicated you can manually switch between the 12mp lens and the low-light 20mp lens.

The review also mentioned that the app switches between them under certain circumstances, but it's not known specifically what they are. So went ahead and did the manual switch and had some good results.

Get the menu on the bottom where u can select 'photo', 'portrait', etc. At the end of this list (swipe it left) you'll find 'manual'. Select that to choose numerous options including 'low light camera'.

Note the low light doesn't have the ability to enable HDR, which makes sense as HDR is used in high contrast lighting, which a low light shot won't have.

These results, taken a few seconds apart, show how the 'pixel binning' of the low light lens really helps:

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
Thnx, I'll check that out.

"HHT (Handheld Twilight) mode takes multiple sequential images under low light conditions, aligns them, and then create a single optimized image."

found on the web. Sounds well worth trying.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
Experimenting with this, surprisingly, it doesn't use the low light lens.

2 ways to determine that; 1st the obvious and most definitive; cover one or the other lens and determine which one it's using. In the case with 'Photo' and 'HHT', it's using the lower lens. But if you go to 'manual' mode I described, select 'low light lens', it's using the lens on top.

2nd is the megapixel size from 'info'. The lower lens (12 mp) results in 9 mp in info, while info for the top lens is 15 mp.

Kind of odd really, as HHT is described as ideal for 'low light', but it doesn't use the low light lens? what?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] deckimbal:
I don't figure out the different low light camera modes as well.

Hope Xiaomi will bring a camera update soon, to get rid of that camera mayhem.

On the homepage it is said: "Smart lens selection is available for Portait mode only. Support will be added for typical photo mode in a future update."

I think that the back camera is dooing quite good in the darkness - but its not easy to take a good picture quickly , due to the complicated menu...
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
It is confusing [MENTION=9326781]deckimbal[/MENTION] it does seem xiaomi is working on bug issues, which is great news.

Tested the HDR capability this morning, it seems to do a very good job. The differences are obvious. Should point out, the lens was (set to Auto, so I didn't select this as an option) wide open (f1.7), which creates a 'natural' depth of field effect.

What that means with these pictures is that some parts, unexpectedly, are a bit out of focus. The best focus seems to be where the cars are, zoom into those and you can see that.

Normally, a shot like this would want the largest depth of field possible, not the narrowest, but still a good example of HDR ability;

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
Another thing, I remember reading reviews that indicated the MiA2 would have a voice activated shutter ability? If it does, I can't find the setting.

Either a voice or hand gesture is kind of ideal for selfies with a number of people in it, using 2 hands on the phone means it has to be closer to the subjects and thus less of a field of vision. One hand with voice activation would be much appreciated :)

Is the setting there and I am too blind to see it? possible!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] feklee:
Unfortunately, it does not seem to be possible to disable the pixel binning. For comparison, find below details from two pictures taken with the lens manually selected. The first picture was taken with the regular lens. The second picture was taken with the low light lens. Notice that although the resolution in pixels is higher, there is less detail.

Very interesting [MENTION=9360372]feklee[/MENTION] will have to do some additional testing on that, not what you'd expect for sure.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] philipnzw:
I have the same findings, seems to be impossible to disable pixel binning, perhaps in bright light the phone will automatically toggle that off ?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
That kind of doesn't make any sense Philip. The lens that does pixel binning is the low light lens only. You wouldn't use it in bright light.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] feklee:
Then they could’ve just used a 5MP sensor: There is zero advantage of using binning compared to using larger pixels.

Binning allows for faster read out speeds from a high res sensor. In cameras it often is used for video recording. For stills, of course, one wants the full resolution, even in low light.

A wild guess: The CPU in the Mi A2 is not powerful enough to quickly do demosaicing and noise reduction of a full 20MP image. Also, it is possible that the 20MP module is actually cheaper than a comparable 5MP module. Furthermore, it is possible that Xiaomi likes to use buzzwords and false advertising.

Has anyone enabled the Camera2 api for their MiA2? I read somewhere that doing that improves pictures? Not sure what to believe until I try it. Doesn't seem that it should be too difficult to do.

Can anyone confirm that doing so will of course allow installing GCam ports but improve quality of oem camera app?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] dodjob:
It does, just check the thread in apps and theme section, there is samples ;)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
Thanks [MENTION=803671]dodjob[/MENTION] I've read that thread, numerous times. Has a lot of great info for sure. One thing that isn't clear, is there a way to enable the cam2 api and then uninstall magisk and unroot? And have the cam2api remain persistent?

Read something to that effect in one of the MiA1 threads, but there weren't too many posts about it. Maybe just wait until Xiaomi updates it, assuming they ever will? I've had GCam ports on other phones, always an improvement.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
Getting a 'true' bokeh effect vs a 'software' created one.

Because the Mi A2 has such a wide aperture lens, it's easy to get the bokeh (narrow depth-of-field) effect. It seems Google introduced the 'software' created one to compete with other mfg's that were using dual lenses to accomplish the effect.

But the natural one just can't be beat, the following photo's are (I hope) good examples:

This first one is a "portrait" shot, which is suppose to be used for bokeh effect: exposure values are 1/30sec, f1.7, iso400

[IMG="portrait 1"]https://www.azitlies.com/bokeh/portrait-1.jpg[/IMG]

The second one is a normal 'photo' shot with values 1/24sec, f1.7, iso400

[IMG="natural bokeh photo"]https://www.azitlies.com/bokeh/natural-photo.jpg[/IMG]

The third one is another portrait shot, just double checking the first one really, values 1/24sec, f1.7, iso400

[IMG="2nd portrait mode, double checking results."]https://www.azitlies.com/bokeh/portrait-2.jpg[/IMG]

This last one, I think, has the best detail of them all, AND thus the best bokeh effect. It was taken with the 'low light' lens manually selected, all other settings left at 'Auto'. The values are: 1/24sec, f1.7, iso400

[IMG="low light lens"]https://www.azitlies.com/bokeh/natural-lowlight-lens.jpg[/IMG]

So, what are we looking for in the pictures? Look carefully at the 'fuzz' around the sock (that's why it was chosen), it's those fine fibers that 'give away' if the picture has a 'natural' bokeh effect or a 'software' created one. The software basically 'draws and outline' around what's in the foreground, and then puts what not in the foreground 'out of focus'. The results with something like fibers, or hairs, or anything similar, is to miss out on those details.

Where the 'natural' bokeh effect has in focus whatever there is within that depth of field, no matters what it is, nor how tiny the detail, including some 'fly away' hair strand.

What's the point? I think you'll get even better bokeh effects with modes other than 'portrait', you'll even be able to do some digital zooming with the other modes. If you zoom in on the pictures, you can see the excellent job the low-light lens did. Pretty impressive.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
I'd suggest trying another mode, such as normal photo. Is there something about portrait mode that makes you think it's better? I don't use it so I honestly don't know if there are additional capabilities or not.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] hrizuwan:
Everything except the portraits are fine to me. Even the front portraits are beautiful. But when I'm clicking human photos using back camera the results are really poor. Whether it's a normal photo or a portrait the results are really really dull. Not expected from a 20+12 mp camera set up. The colour of the face is so low that it makes me think it is captured may be from a 5 mp old camera. I don't know what's wrong. I'm on stock android with the August security patch.

[MENTION=2129545]AsItLies[/MENTION] You see, the picture you posted illustrate excactly what I finf horrible in the Original camera's post-processing. I you look at the "blured" section in the background, it's really pixellised, this is really something that hurt my eyes a lot ^^ Even if the front object is sharp AF <3

For a little hint:

I've played for a week with gcam. I have now some great results. Specially with last arnovas (8.3) port.

One thing I noticed on A LOT of shot all around the globe is the really bad focus of A LOT of shots. Look at comparison on youtube, or on forum. You will immediately see a huge difference in focus even if the "compared" camera is of a way lower quality.

THAT bothered me ^^

SO. After tweaking Gcams Back camera settings, learned a lot about what any of them does, I finally succeed to get almost what I wanted. Find attached two shots (one blurry, it's original cam) and the second one sharp, it's Gcam.

Orig-cam:

https://ibb.co/kxTb2z

[IMG="Ocam"]https://image.ibb.co/hWrJFK/IMG_20180901_200321.jpg[/IMG]

Gcam:

https://ibb.co/c92avK

[IMG="gcam"]https://image.ibb.co/mHsx9e/IMG_20180901_200307.jpg[/IMG]

Look at the blacks, look at the "non" focused areas and make a difference between both. **both were taken in the exact same way * one tap focus on the can, and tap on the trigger** If that is a question ^^

The motive is actually pretty bad ^^ BUT consider that what you see looks at least 2x brighter as what you actually see. I'm now pretty happy with the cam ;)

**also, the gcam picture is 3x bigger than the Original cam. Not the one you see but the uncompressed one ;)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
[MENTION=803671]dodjob[/MENTION] I certainly agree the oem camera app seems to be doing some 'processing' (especially in Portrait) that seems to make the image worse. It's worth noting that the name of the camera app, within the system is: MiuiCamera.apk. You'd think that if Xiaomi tweaked it for the A2, they would have renamed it?

Absolutely the Gcam ports have a better result. I'm trying to find a way to set the Cam2API and then go back to un-rooted (for updates). Then I'll be playing with Gcam ports also.

But here are some pics from a review I just read, they are quite awesome and show good capability even with the oem cam app; (Tip: Right click the image and choose 'open image in new tab' to see them more clearly)

[MENTION=5633113]AsltLies[/MENTION] these are actually pretty nice shots. I honestly couldn't reach this level with my phone and original camera ??

For the record:

The original app shoot fast and well with enough light and no hdr postprocessing.

The lack of hdr will be but pretty noticeable when light starts to vary in one pic (as expected) but in this case, the soft will be pretty lost and therefore we get wrong focusing and pretty bad quality picture.

With hdr activated, we do have "better shots" in exposition aspect BUT software texture modifications (hardcore denoising) and this strange pixelisation on blurry backgrounds. That's clearly a postprocessing smock from the app ?

Finally the hdr is really weak. Even if activated, there is a huge gap between HDR+ from Gcam and from original cam

This all above without mentioning the focusing problem. That's also the reason I'm impressed by the mentioned pictures. There is no way I can get such focus in low light on my phone right now.

I have discovered that some settings in gcam back cam can solve a lot of noise problem in low-light without being too harsh with the sharpness. I made a screenshot of my settings + Gcam version (last arnica I think) here under ;)

Hope it helps!

Regards,

Hadrien

So this is a Portrait Mode pic that does a decent job, I think. Good detail with what's in focus. A natural bokeh would be better of course, but that would require a lens with a much wider (read expensive) aperture. I'm interested what others think of this result;

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] erostiff:
i was somewhat dissapointed with the camera performence out of the box, since the hardware seems more than capable (for the price). Enabling HAL3 (api2) together with Arnova8G2's gcam made a world of difference. I've been comparing the pixel with the Mi a2 and i must say it get really close. Same shots with the stock camera contain far more less detail and color. (https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/). There's a new tool now to enable api2 (https://xdaforums.com/mi-a2/how-to/mi-a2-toolkit-unlock-bootloader-root-t3834585) but of course you need root (temporarly) to do it. If build.prop is not edited (https://xdaforums.com/mi-a1/how-to/guide-how-to-enable-hal3-camera2api-t3747073) it should not interfere with OTA.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
That's pretty much my point, is that it's not disappointing to me, nor to many of the professional reviews I've read. Would the Gcam ports be better? yes, google has done a lot of work to make those single lens setups do a good job.

But the A2 cam as it is? It can take some outstanding pics just by itself.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] geoclooney:
As people start receiving their devices, I've heard from a couple that the US unlocked version does NOT check for hotspot eligibility on Verizon. However, it's a little quirky because now so many people on VZW have plans that include hotspot. So the check may exist but it doesn't activate on their phones.

I'm on an older VZW plan that doesn't include a hotspot allowance. The unlocked Note 8 (and some other unbranded phones) don't check to see if you have hotspot but I'm not yet 100% sure about the unlocked Note 9.

Can anyone with an unlocked US Note 9 confirm there's no check based on the above? Thanks!
