[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Sohailsamdani:
i Want 2x Zoom while Taking Portrait Picture In My Mi A2.if there is Any Possibility Plz Tell me. Thanks In Advance.?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
The Mi A2 doesn't have the 2x zoom lens the Mi A1 has. The only 'zooming' you can do is digitally.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] ILA:
He's not asking for the 2x lens, he's asking for the 2x digital zoom for the portrait mode in the stock camera.

Stock camera does not support that.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Sohailsamdani:
yeah ?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
So the Mi A1 has a 2x zoom lens, but also allowed for 2x digital (just 2? not 3 or 4 or ?) in Portrait?

Is that the case? I would never have guessed.

The A2 does allow for digital zoom in Picture, Square and Manual modes, of various amounts.

I saw paranoid android has made rom for XZP, you can google their official website, it is under download you can find it.

I have 8142 and flashed it, but it has bootloops even if no gapps were flashed. Can anyone who has a 8141 try this rom see if it works?

I don't know if I can post links? If not it is on their offcial website.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Udit68:
bro you need to flash vendor image to like you did on asop or carbon rom before it went to stock kernels because it is using sony open kernels
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] xueyaotianxia:
Thank you for your advice! I flashed the vendor image only with the rom, no gapps and magisk. It went into the system, however after I touched something in settings, UI stopped working. After rebooting, it keeps getting bootloops, even when I get into TWRP, it won't go in, but reboot itself.

Anyway, back to stock for me now...
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] uditrawat:
sony asop is very laggy and have poor performance compare to stock this can be seen in carbon itself before it went for stock kernels i trying to learn how to build rr using carbon sources .i think rr is best rom you can customize every thing
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] beammer335d:
tired to install this on my G8142, I get pasted the sony logo and its just sits on the 4 circles
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] uditrawat:
do you format you device from twrp recovery?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] beammer335d:
I did... it finally went to the loading screen after 23 mins of that.... but now I dont have wifi or mobile data
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] xueyaotianxia:
Maybe going back to stock rom is a better option...I think I'll wait until sony stops updating and then look for a custom rom...or, maybe a new phone?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] uditrawat:
wait for carbon rom to integrate commits from sony xz1c lineage build then you will have stock camera .carbon rom is good it just lacking some stock features
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] beammer335d:
just tried pico, booted up fine, quick loading to screen- this time but getting system UI faults....Tired Mindthegapps(working) as long as I dont try and install SuperSu
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] xueyaotianxia:
I also had UI faults, what if you flash magisk instead of supersu? How is the camera? Can it record slow motion? I acutally installed Nokia camera app on stock rom and it took decent photos...supports full 19M 4:3.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] saved-j:
i even saw people launch Xiaomi camera app, but what's the point if it all only works in HAL mode? If it's not using API2 then it's still using stock libs and stock image processing algorithms.

http://get.aospa.co/official/maple

I guess I found what you have seen.

I googled it and found this link of Polska android forum.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] xueyaotianxia:
Yes...I had bootloops so I went back to stock. Have you tried to install it?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] frostydawn:
Sorry for late answer. I've been busy and didn't have enough time to test roms.

I'm using G8141 and had same boot loop when I first flashed it.

I've tried updating OEM image again and updating TWRP version, but what solved bootloop was erasing entire data partition.

I mean, you need to wipe entire data partition, which means entire SD card, not data partition we usually wipe when switching rom.

Also, I found this installation manual that worked for me.

OK. Thanks bro[emoji106]. the method is the same as in the tutorials. and the link for the gapps is empty. so this seems to be identical to the tutorial already mentioned for this rom. you do not have to install the gapps if you want this rom to work.

I flashed this rom again on my 8142 with mind-the-gapps. It went into the system. Stupid enough I did not test the phone function before I edited build prop to make it dual sim...the phone function is not working on my phone after edited build prop - cannot make phone calls. The rom supports camera 2 api level 3, google hdr+, slow motion works perfectly using oneplus camera. Google camera takes decent photos. Too bad this rom is made only for 8141...I don't want to flash it again to test the phone funtion before edit build prop. If someone can do it please...I think they are working on Pie now so if that will also support dual sim version will be great.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] frostydawn:
For those who want to take a look at what PA rom looks like.

It's not quite stable since it's just a first release since their return.

Also it does not support Exfat file system for SD card, neither NTFS.

It only supports Fat32 file system, so if you're using SD card with Exfat or NTFS file system, you'll need to format it.

For now, I suggest you stay on Carbonrom until PA rom gets stabilized, unless you're eager to experience every new rom for our XZP.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] stipi69:

[MENTION=7495846]stipi69[/MENTION] Hello, are you testing G8141 or G8142?

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] xueyaotianxia:
I have 8142. However the rom is for 8141...but 8142 can also use it.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] beammer335d:
G8142 here, I was able to load this up, mine was very laggy also. ,
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] stipi69:
Hellou i am using G8141 / single sim and is working quite well actualy, i have some observations:

+ very nice UI, love it

+ camera working but needs polishing

+ phone runs very cool and battery life is very good

+ i managed to get magisk, busybox, greenify, kernel aduitor, gltools and all mayor apps running with no problem

+ i had to install busybox to /system/xbin in order to get proper functionality, default location showed failed in root checker, now works fine

+ i reformatted my sandisk 64gb and i can access

- ocasionaly i get short stutters but nothing too hard for a first build

- after installing SELinux switch and setting it to permissive i imideiately get phone is geting warm warning :) but kernel aduitor reports: CPU 45C / GPU 45C / BATT 35C, so it is nothing big but phone says it will try too cool down limiting functions until it does, limiting functions is a no go :) haha

- default music player not playing music, third party apps working ok

- screen recorders off anny kind not saving videos or showing errors / force closing

- settings - system - extended settings - dynamic resolution switch: not working but looking forward for that to work

i am planing to use it for a week or so if annyone needs some info / logcat etc they can ask and i see what i can do :)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Hakkinen3K:
Thanks for answer.

After that week you can post new impressions ??

---------- Post added at 08:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] stipi69:
Acess to SD card in my case using Sandisk 64gb formatted [MENTION=395708]fat[/MENTION] 32...

Use anny file manager with root access and go to:

/mnt/media_rw/yourcard:)

From here you have all SD card access as you are used to :)

File explorer pro otherwise refuses to mount it for some reason .....

[Touch Cruise General] confusedxx:
Hey guys,

In Switzerland, the Polaris (Touch Cruise) is now available and the iPhone should be available in 2 months.

From those that have the Polaris already, what is the general feedback - despite the video playback issue? Would you trade it for an iphone or is it really all you want it to be? :confused:

Should I throw down the money and get one?
[Touch Cruise General] gnick666:
Personaly... I couldn't live whith iPhone becuse it's very serious limitations, and lack of programs... (I know, the SDK came out... so what?)
[Touch Cruise General] confusedxx:
But what about the painting of the dial screen with the polaris. I heard it can take between 1 and 5 seconds to make a phone call if you are surfing the web at the same time.

Seems the graphic chip is way underpowered. Is there a fix for this?
[Touch Cruise General] hagiariel:
I am not crazy about the graphics performance of the cruise, but IMHO, the phone is VERY usable. It is still a powerhouse smartphone, and a very good business tool. Having a dedicated talk button means you reach the dialer FASTER then on the iPhone, and smart dialing is 10 x better than the Iphone when you have many many contacts. The iPhone is definatly slicker and faster, but it is NOT a business phone. At least not now. I had it (as well as the E90, P1i, E61 and many many others before) and returned in after a month.
[Touch Cruise General] nahguam:
I have the TC. To be honest, if the iPhone had GPS, I'd have bought one instead. However, gfx performance aside I am still very happy with my TC.

I mainly use it for connecting to work exchange email,calendar,contacts,tasks / phone, internet sharing for laptop, RSS news, GPS and music player. For all those it's perfect.

I may consider an iPhone2... depends on what the state of WM7 is like...
[Touch Cruise General] creiz:
a part of course the lack of of drivers, and despite the crippled functionality of the Polaris, it manages to outperform the iphone for my everyday needs. Be it my appointments, alarms, contact managers, and what not, i am satisfied.

The iphone is a cool device, mucho slides and mucho wow factor, but in the end it's just a 8gb ipod with a phone stuck on top. I didn't feel at home as much as with a pocket pc. To be honest, even a blackberry is better that the iphone for what i do.
[Touch Cruise General] hambola:
iphone is slick, very smooth fluid device. it has limitations but for the most part is good at what it does. it has the accelerometer which makes for some interesting applications, has a very high quality screen, multi-touch input. usually tied to an operator unless you jailbreak. software is very limited, SDK has been released and some good stuff might come out of that but still limited as compared to wm.

the polaris, other than the aforementioned video drivers issue and some lag depending on the rom, is a pretty solid device. as far as features go, it can't be beat. here are some that it has which the iphone currently lacks.

-3 megapixel camera that actually takes video

-2nd camera for video calls

-stereo bluetooth

-internal GPS chip

-3G

-removable battery / removable storage

those are the main hardware features, as far as software, there's always xda which is a huge resource, custom ROMs, a plethora of software. when it comes to modding and customizing wm cannot be beat.

there are tons of iphone vs <insert phone here> comparisons out there. just do a search. in the end you have to see what your requirements are and what's a priority for you.
[Touch Cruise General] maati:
hambola said it pretty clearly and I totally agree:

Get the Polaris.

In addition to this list, there is

- a hot-swappable card slot so you can get as much storage space as you like

- lots of very good software, like on a real PC, that can be installed without cracking anything.
[Touch Cruise General] Rudegar:
more programs i require for wm devices and many many freeware apps

iphone dont do gps or 3g(yet)

iphone dont have a frontcam (not that i would use video calls much)

iphone dont have SD expansion

iphone cant change batt unless apple does it for you

polaris is not as pretty

wm is not as slick and not as good audioplayer (imho)

htc dont want to pay for drivers and make poor ones themselfs :P

polaris got a smaller screen
[Touch Cruise General] surgex0:
current iphone is a piece of garbage...apple just loves their trusted computing stuff so they lock down the device and don't let you do anything with the software. also serious lack of functionality like A2DP, GPS, etc, mentioned in above post. Will the next gen iPhone be any different?

I'll wait and see...but just in my opinion i am very dissapointed with the polaris and i def. regret i purchased it
[Touch Cruise General] Pawel062:
it all depends on what are ur needs.
[Touch Cruise General] Pawel062:
should be sooner or later. its still very usable without it.
[Touch Cruise General] sonus:
I really wanted the IPhone, but in the end I got the Touch Cruise...

My decisions was based on the iPhone having

1. No Copy/Paste

2. No Bluetooth Voice Dialing (anyone who drives know's this omision is ridiculous)

3. No A2DP

4. No MMS

5. No removeable battery

6. No Flash support

7. No option to save anything from the browser

8. No video recording

9. No 3G

10. No MS Office editing

11. No multitasking with SDK apps

To me the Iphone in current state is more of a webbrowser with a Ipod, and then some phone and pda features thrown in. I have no doubt that the SDK will fix the lack of software as the iphone could have a larger user base than WM6 by the end of year (thus far iphone is seriously outselling wm6).

I have faith that Apple will fix the majority of their issues. However, I do not know if they will fix them in the current iphone, or wait for the next iphone. HTC on the other hand has issues with multimedia on the Touch Cruise...and I really doubt they will be fixing that issue.

All in all, if you're a power user go for the TC, as you can make it for for you. If you just want some tunes, movies, and a phone in a really well put together package then go for the iPhone. The real killer will probably be the iPhone 2.0

//Rant: Microsoft is the most shorsighted company that ever existed. Its the most ridiculous thing that WM7 is going to be coming out in a year, when the iphone is here now. Furthermore, have any of you seen Origami? http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/umpc/demo.mspx

It is an awesome set of interface and multimedia integrated apps that they developed for the practically 0% market share Tablet UMPC platform. If only they worked putting that kind of functionality on WM instead...idiots...

Origami has features that are begging to be on our phones

-Picture password

-Origami Central

-Enhanced Windows Media Player

-Enhanced IE

-Enhanced Picture viewer

Ahhh, it makes me so mad to see these features in a product that will likely never take off, while Windows Mobile that has a huge base is left w/o updates and with a market share whitering away to Apple.
[Touch Cruise General] hambola:
don't get me started on Microsoft. that company has some serious lack of innovation recently. aside from the surface i haven't seen much practical innovation coming out of there. the whole vista gadgets (wanna be widgets) is such a knock-off. yeah it works but i mean come on it took osx to implement for you to realize to build one in vista?? for the longest time on any windows box if you wanted to check a calendar and didn't have outlook, you would have to double click the clock in the systray and pretend you're changing the date to see a date several months in advance then make sure you click cancel so that you don't change your date. the calendar app in vista is much smoother now, why couldn't this have been implemented before.

back to windows mobile, it's a sad piece of work. it just looks very outdated. PIE isn't worth the space it's using.

small solace can be found in the fact that at least they acknowledge the shortcomings and want to improve it in later features.

until then....<sigh>.....
[Touch Cruise General] Rudegar:
and their instant search fields are also appleRipoffs
[Touch Cruise General] surgex0:
WM has been basically the same (minus a few enhancements and UI changes, nothing spectacular) since it first came out in the 90s...

it's rediculous; the interface and usability resembles windows 3.11

My god.......that origami looks awesome...

but seriously, how many people have / even want a UMPC?

That's rediculous...god why can't they just port that to WM

they did it on purpose to torture us!
[Touch Cruise General] sonus:
I completely agree. It seems everything they do these days is in response to someone else. From the Zune (another waste of effort and talent that should have been focused on making Windows Media Player in WM better), to IE7, to Vista.

Seriously Origami, and the Zune piss me off the most....clearly if MS focused their efforts on their already developed WM platform instead of wasting time with those toys that don't sell, the iPhone would be nothing more than a glorified LG chocolate.

And as for as PIE, this is what it should look like if MS got off their lazy pedastool...but nope again another wasted concept on the Origami platform.
[Touch Cruise General] Pawel062:
the only reason imho wm is worth anything is because of the modding community and htc. without both it would suck. htc is doing a nice job making the phones we buy very usable with stuff like opera and recently touchflo. it took the release of the iphone for most of the things to come though :(

opera 9 gives u a similar browsing expirence to the one above though. wm7 finally will be what we are looking for and it actually looks like they are bringing some inovations to the table.
[Touch Cruise General] gnick666:
Also there is Google's Android... so far there have been only a few demo videos and some small stuff, but it's been announced that it will run on MSM 7x00 chipsets, also some useable driver is being developed for it. In regards to the functionality based on the existing sources (Videos, SDK Emu,...), it will have all the functionalities, capabilities, and much more than the WM.

WM7 will have very tough challangers on the market once it comes out... and is not sure to win against them... unless they come out whith something ground shaking...

Still, I hope that the iPhone gets what it deserves... WM and Android ported to it :D
[Touch Cruise General] Jibreil:
I say Touch Cruise anyday! It's feature packed but it again depends how many of those features do you actually use daily.

Windows Mobile can be customed cooked - iPhone (thw PWNAGE Tool) is out for you to do the same for the Apple firmware.

Speaking of Multimedia Touch Cruise is surely ahead, as it supports all Audio and Video formats with the help of TCMP or CorePlayer. Whereas the iPhone is redundant on MP3 & MP4.

The TouchFlo aspect resides in both the phones along with the 'iPhone' like interface can be used in both the devices.

So once again Touch Cruise does have it's PRO's over the iPhone. Rest is your call and your phone where you wanna put it.

All the best!
[Touch Cruise General] hambola:
yeah man, props to xda, i don't know where we would be without it...
