After 3 months with Mi8

Summarized - A great phone!

- Screen is very good balanced - normal colors, nice.

- Battery durability is much better then expected, keeping it charged for 45 minutes a day.

- very snappy. Quick to browse.

- WiFi has very good reception.

- camera is excellent, but telephoto not very usable in lower light conditions (due to lack of OIS)

Never had any problem with this phone, which is - from my experience - very rare in praxis.

Hope to get Pie and camera update soon. :)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gozzaa:
I hab similar experience with miui 10 global. Can't wait to unlock :|

Camera ist not good. Many bugs like Bluetooth disconnecting and big standby battery drain. App crashes. Always on display not working.

I also don't get why they don't display notification icons, it's so easy to do.

What I really like are the full screen gestures but that's about it lol
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArmedandDangerous:
1. Google Assistant isn't working for a ton of phones, Samsung ones included. It's a GA bug.

2. No idea why they didn't certify L1...which is FREE!

3. The display is great, the only problem is with the older ROM, HDR isn't enabled yet so HDR videos look absolutely crap. Android Pie update has fixed this somewhat.

4. The Mi 8 has both OIS and EIS, and videos are very stable from my tests.

The other points aren't relevant to me so I hope they fix it for you.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tomsag:
Here I am with good news!

1. Google Assistant is now working (always on listening)

2. - yeah no change possible

3. Huge difference after last update, HDR videos look gorgeous!

4. As I said before, without telephoto, it's very stable. And now camera is working much better, even the night mode is very nice and if needed 960fps slow-mo is available.

This is a much better phone now!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArmedandDangerous:
There's an issue with HDR if you have not noticed with the update. If you watch HDR videos during night time, the whole system turns a yellow tinge (Night/Reading mode OFF). When you quit the video, the system UI turns back to white. I've tested this, and the system returns itself to normal at 7.14am (I don't know why lol). It's as if HDR somehow forces Reading Mode on during night time, even if you have it turned off.

Global miui 10 8.12.20 beta,

No issues with ok Google (no unlock though)

Camera is excellent

Notch is too wide

Ported stock apps work (Google dialer, Google camera with night sight)

Got 300,737 in antutu, basically rivalling a Kirin 980 (ok I was outside in 4C temperature running it)

As for MIUI, previously owning an honor 9, I got rid of EMUI as soon as possible , I actually don't mind MIUI 10, it's not very intrusive, and is fairly minimalist, paired with ruthless launcher and a pixel icon pack, I might actually keep MIUI after I unlock the bootloader
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xavind:
Hi, I am a few hours away from unlocking the boatloader on my Mi8. Can you please direct me to some sure steps on installing Magisk after the Miui 10 stable update. Thank you in advance
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tomsag:
>No unlock with assistant is problematic a little

>Which Google Camera is Working for you? Is it better the na new stock?

no need to check benchmarks, MI8 runs very fast.

A feature which would i welcome is a ported pixel 3 launcher which works (with assistant button)

Otherwise might be the best phone for the money. A big difference to slightly lower cost Pocophone (display and camera are really much better)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArmedandDangerous:
Indeed, no unlock is a bit meh, but at least Assistant/Google Voice works now.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ambitiousButRubbish:
for the pixel launcher, just download the modded APK from ApkMirror, this is the latest version, should work fine https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/papho...tless-pixel-2-launcher-mod-9-4889482-release/ Although, to be fair, i much prefer ruthless launcher, as it offers a few more features over the stock pixel launcher, unfortunately, you do need to install the pixel bridge fro assistant to work though.

I'd check the cameras, but my screen decided that working was not in its job description, so (luckily) i am getting a replacement device from amazon (still within returns window), should be with me tomorrow, so i'll test, but as far as i can tell, from taking a few pictures before it died, the stock camera seems very good, especially in the dark, i took a few pictures in an almost completely black room, upped the exposure, and got some rather nice (abeit a bit blurry, because i cant hold a phone still for 4 seconds it seems) images. This was on global beta 8.12.20, so may not be the same as stable 10.1.2.

I will say though, that the secondary lens, switched to using it independently (there's a setting for telephoto somewhere in the camera app), isn't very good in low light, and doesn't have brilliant saturation, but i think its a software thing, need to wait until there are a few 3rd part camera apps that can use both cameras, given pie offers an API to do that now.

unlock bootloader

Flash TWRP (there's a build somewhere on these forums)

flash the latest magisk build from TWRP

reboot

(same as any other device)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tomsag:
Cannot find a ported Pixel 3 Launcher which would work on my MI8.

Using the rootless launcher, but missing the assistant button on search bar...

Do you have a link to a working port?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ambitiousButRubbish:
try ruthless launcher https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.ruthless.nexuslauncher

you need to download rootless pixel bridge from github too

if you want a stock pixel launcher, just try an earlier version of the one on APKmirror, just scroll down until you get to the list of versions
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tomsag:
Seems you have not understood me...

I am using thee rootless launcher from the first date and it works very good, but I'm missing the Assistand button on the search bar...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ambitiousButRubbish:
ah, ok, have you actually got google assistant enabled, you actually need to open the assistant app at least once and set it up for it to work properly, or do you mean that the button isn't there in the search bar, because if so, that's a bit odd since it worked fine for me, to be fair, i'd just say switch over to ruthless launcher, i personally think its a bit better (although i do miss the 'right click' menu on long press of background), since the assistant button is built into the launcher, i cant see any reason why it shouldn't be there, possibly its an OS issue, i was on global beta 10.12.20, if you are on the chinese ROM it might not work, not without google services installed properly at least.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tomsag:
everything works about assistant (voice or button activated), I'm on global ROM. Just there is no specific assitant button on the right side of the search bar. I'm on MIUI 10.1.2.0 stable.

If there would be an specific assistant button I'd be able to switch to gesture control.

I am using the Darkforce ROM of WM 6.1, after I insert a SD in my Universal, I found that aa file generated automatically called "EncFiltLog.menc". It will continuous exist no matter I deleted it or not.

Anyone know what is "EncFiltLog.menc"??

By the way, I am using Transcend 16GB SDHC. Today, I found that my PPC can't detect it suddenly, I tried to insert it on my NB, but there are some files halt! When I double click it and wait for a moment, a messege box appear and say there are some problem about I/O device. No any device can detect my card now, anyone know what's the issue? I even can't format it now...

Please HELP!!

THANKS YOU VERY MUCH!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] -Jonny-:
.menc files

.menc files are encrypted files.

When you set the option to encrypt files (Start\Settings\System\Encryption) then anything new that is saved to your SD card will be encrypted (and will have this extension - although this extension doesn't appear when viewing from the device that encrypted the files).

To read the file, you must view it via your device. (You can view/transfer it onto your PC via active sync from the device that encrypted it).

If you have reflashed your device without backing up your SD via active sync, then I don't think there is any way of recovering the file :eek:. (NB. I copy everything from my SD card to my computer before reflashing, and then copy it all back again :D).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] yodap:
Hi my friend!

I had the same issue but with things 4.1 ROM. I don't know how, but i tried every day to format my sd card, and after 5 days it worked :D I have also this file in the root... It's the encryption file i think...

Mine was a 2GB panasonic SD not an SDHC... Keep trying!;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] yungj:
Thanks for all reply!

But I found that I haven't tick the option of"Start\Setting\System\Encryption" , but the file still exist! I don't know why...

Any my SD issue....

I an using this ROM for few weeks already, but not newly flashed. My SD have no problem before. Haven't backup the datas is my mistake! I am so regreted. My SD is now can't detect from all device, and I can't format it also.

ALL DATAS ARE LOST!! Just wanna cry!

damaged sd-card!

Hi! Had the same problem with my new kaiser. Also thought about problem of ROM or the device itself. But it was just the SD-Card itself. Bougth a new one - no probs anymore...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] bbrain:
any true solutions to this?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] buggers999:
I have this same problem, so the only way to fix it is to get a new card?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Nik Ahmad:
Step By Step To Delete File EncFiltLog.menc (EFLG.m)

1) Insert your SD into Card Reader Cut EFLG.m

2) Paste insde your PC

3) Defrag your SD card

4) Select Option Tools>Folder Options>View Select Show hidden file

5) Now you can see new folder ie File 0000

6) Delete the folder

7) Now your SD card become as original
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] MvBoe:
I read somewhere (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2718217&postcount=9) that the hidden file "EncFiltLog.menc" is stored on every SD-Card by WindowsMobile weather encryption is activated or not.

So it should be no problem to have it on the card - as long as everything works.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] FrancoToledoRoa:
Hello, in advance I apologize for my English, I speak Spanish.

The issue of my request is that I think I have a hardbrick on my Huawei p10.

It happens that I installed a GSI / TREBLE Rom (android 8.1) to try it but I was not satisfied, but I decided to go back to stock firmware. In the process I had to install TWRP, because that's what the guide I followed requested. At a certain moment I was asked for my OEM unlock code and when writing it the phone tried to perform a factory reset, but TWRP does not let the process continue.

In summary, I have TWRP (which does not leave mount) and I do not have access to fastboot mode, besides the system does not start, it takes me directly to TWRP.

I hope any help you may receive, Thank you very much.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] federicocip85:
I was in that situation last day and I tried to boot phone in system recovery (Vol + Vol - and power button), after few tries of booting phone manually (vol + power; vol - power both and power etc... I tried them all) it entered in e-recovery where it installed (needs wifi) the whole system from scratch and after that it boots in stock firmware (for me is B375) and then I re-installed magisk and twrp. I explained really bad I know, but I managed to solve this! Probably someone will give you a more detailed explaination!
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] FrancoToledoRoa:
Thanks for answering.

You also do not have access to the bootloader before solving it? The truth is that I have been with the problem for days and I can not fix it. I will try with what you suggest.

U can try this. Download full July OTA Sideload zip from here. Sideload it via adb command. Then do a factory reset. Reboot..

After that check for OTA
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Jaguarclaws:
You will be restricted to manual update through sideloading OTA zips.

The phone will always be uncertified since the SKU ID still remain CN instead of WW.

You will need to unlock bootloader before you sideload the August OTA zip.

Then follow the guide in XDA to change your SKUID to WW to fully convert your Nokia 7 Plus hence receive OTA normally.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] wphend00:
Sooooo I have Galaxy Note 8 factory unlocked version... no carrier.

I have been using it with T-mobile, since March

The experience, connectivity-wise has been very bad compared to my T-mobile Branded Galaxy S8+

I have T-mobile Cell tower extender... and i always got LTE 4-5 bars in my house, on the GS8+.

But with the GN8, its like it doesn't even touch the antennae.

I live in the Phoenix area, and even that is a chore, as I rarely see 5-bars LTE... regardless of where I am driving (I do uber, so on Friday nights, I am all over the valley).

I thought, perhaps, if I downloaded the T-mobile Oreo Rom and moved from the Factory to that, that that would be the difference... but it looks like same antennae connectivity.

Is there are separate firmware for T-MO antennae that I need to flash?

Thanks for all of your help!!!

Hi All,

Currently im on DU, the latest updated non-trebble rom that got google update in august(?) published bij nfound.

I dont have fastboot (bootstack?) and no adb in recovery. (Nfounds TWRP)

it seems that there is no non-trebble rom (oreo or pie) being maintained right now regarding google security patches. Right?

OK for this i have to switch to trebble based images.

How to get back fastboot and TWRP with adb? I hate going to trebble without being able to fallback to adb in TWRP or fastboot in case some things dont work out during this process.

Whats the way to go?

I appreciate a guide!

thanx

HERE'S THE ANSWER!

Let's say the script is on the /sdcard and named 'script.sh'. The script would be run like so....

adb connect
adb shell su
cd /sdcard/
sh ./script.sh

[MENTION=3991724]rbox[/MENTION]

I've been searching for a guide to run .sh scripts on my Fire Stick Gen1. I've found a couple guides on how to auto run scripts on boot...but I want to simply run a script on demand. Particularly, I'm trying to run a few of the debloat scripts offered inside "esc0rtd3w" FirePwn Amazon FireTV Stick Loader located at... https://github.com/esc0rtd3w/firestick-loader

To run a script on demand. Do I need to have the script in a specific location on the Fire device? Do I need to set permissions for the script? Does it matter what file extension the script has? Does it need .sh at the end of the filename? I noticed the autoboot script guides DO NOT have .sh at the end of the filenames for the scripts its auto running at boot.

I also have another question...

I want to try out esc0rtd3w's FirePwn Amazon FireTV Stick Loader. I downloaded his entire github repo and open the 'autorun.cmd' but it doesn't recognize my device. Does anyone know how to successfully connect to the FireTV Stick Gen1 with his script? I've tried adb connecting to my device and then running his script but it still doesn't recognize my device. Has anyone successfully utilized this tool? If so, how did you get it to recognize your device? Because I haven't been able to utilize his windows script to automate the plethora of tasks it offers, it led me to seek how to run .sh scripts manually.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jim16127:
I still CANNOT for the life of me, figure out how to run a script on the Fire TV through ADB. I'm using terminal on Linux, directly connected to a FireTV Stick Gen 2 with full root. I can manually execute the commands in the script but I cannot execute the script(s)! So here's one of the scripts I'm trying to run... Script Could someone explain to me, how would I execute this script via ADB?

Edit: I solved my issue! The text needs to be in unix format!! I used dos2linux to fix all the scripts and they go without a hitch. So I put all the scripts into a folder. I right clicked on that folder and clicked open terminal. I then executed this code to batch convert all files in the folder to unix format.

find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 dos2unix
