tl;dr: download_gcam, download_cameraPatch; ROM I am using: Pixel experience extended (21.10_build)

Hey guys, I will show you the best google camera setup I've found so far. This is not my work, awesome developers put a lot of hours into that so keep that in mind :D I simply provide download links and some information, since it's not as straight forward as you might expect.

You might know this post. You can try this gcam as well (but it didn't work for me in terms of some random crashes & front camera HDR doesn't really work.) You can try later version from here as well, but I've tried pretty much most of them (without any significant result)

Download the files above & install them (they are the latest from the official telegram group). I will try to keep this post updated for those of you, who don't want to get into telegram.

If you install the camera patch (via magisk) make sure to not reboot instantly, boot into recovery and then reboot from there (that's the official instruction)

The pictures are amazing, I would recommend using "increase exp. to 2" in the auto exposure settings: you will need a bit of a steady hand in the dark but it's worth it.

Cheers! Tell me how it works out for you guys ^^ and remember: every device is kinda different, could work for some and not for others :highfive:

Edit: Looks like you have to focus manually in order for HDR+ (front) to work. If you don't you might get a blackscreen.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Victor13f:
Has anyone successfully relocked the bootloader on a A2017G? I've tried flashing various versions of Nougat and now with the new official Oreo and every time I try booting to bootloader (fastboot) the phone just boots into system. I'm on full stock system with stock recovery. I flashed a B12 EDL from LOS 15.1 to then update to the new Oreo.

Everything else works fine, the drivers are correct I simply just cannot access the bootloader, no matter which rom I flash.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] pudil:
Hi, on A2017G I succeeded with Axon 7 toolkit, option "bootloader lock"
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Victor13f:
Hi. I tried that but no luck. It just reboots the phone back to system
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Victor13f:
Problem solved, I've managed to lock the bootloader.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Filozof71:
Can You tell us how? I am on Stock Nougat , but I unlocked propabaly on Marshmallow and then updated for Nougat. I cannnot boot to fastboot mode, my phone just reboots to system, as your before.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Victor13f:
I flashed a fastboot EDL unlock that I found here on XDA and then I managed to lock the bootloader with OEM lock. However, I bricked my phone and couldn't boot into OS but it wasn't a big issue since I just flashed a B12 EDL afterwards and from there got an OTA update to Oreo with the bootloader locked.

Hi.

So I have the last stock rom and the smart view does not work for Miracast devices. I tried connecting to my TVs and it ends with SmartView couldn't turn on or something (TV connects then gets disconnected quickly). Is there a fix for this? I tried restarting, enabling wireless displays on development mode and nothing. It didn't work on stock when developer mode locked me out due to FRP lock. My Note Pro works on the TVs without issue.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] XsZoned:
Hello everyone, i've had a s9+ for 5 months now maybe more. And just recently about two weeks ago i've started having this strange problem where videos in apps stutter because of sound. Example, when i open up Instagram and go onto stories, and play a story which is a video you see the video hiccup/stutter for like a millisecond or a second like it stucks and unstucks in that instant and it doesn't happen for the rest of the video, and it's very annoying. Same thing happends in all apps that play videos. Also scrolling is stuttery while sound is coming from the apps. Turned off sound to check if the problem is still there, and it's gone, the second i turn on sound on the video again and the hiccup/stutter is there.

I've done Factory ressets x2, Deleted cache partition, played with sound settings nothing works.

P.S The stutter only happens in the beggining of the videos, and when sound is turned on and off.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] SabinChhetri:
My phone had battery drain issue due to wakelocks, I can see Awake(screen off) and NETLINK and 7000000.ssusb prevent device from going to deep sleep. I also had few other issues like random restarts. They fixed random restarts by replacing the board, but battery drain issue still exist. I read somewhere that faulty USB port might cause kernel wakelocks.

So my question is does replacing board also replaces charging port in a device or my device still have an old charging USB port??
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] marko.dnb:
I see both of these wakelocks and their count is in thousands and in my case they do not prevent phone to get into deep sleep. Also no drain when I left the phone for a longer period of time (8 hours = 0-1% drain)

However, i had terrible battery drain because of bad wifi router, bought another router and soon after setting it up, battery life on my phone improved drastically. I wasted time on checking USB port, disabling MTP host, resetting the system, downgrading to Nougat, buying other brand USB cable, changing SIM card and so on, but problem was with wifi router.

So, I suggest you to carefully pinpoint what is causing battery drain before wasting more time and possibly money for something that is not causing issues.

Check if some app is draining the battery, check wifi router if you're using wifi network at home by turning off wifi on your Mi A1 when you go to sleep, next day put phone into airplane mode etc...There are many things you can check :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] SabinChhetri:
I tried with factory resetting, so no apps apart from default ones. Wifi is turned off and no location enabled. So it shouldn't be issue of wifi router.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] barrack1:
No. The charging port is at the bottom of the phone. The mainboard is at the top of the phone.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] guddu61293:
No charging port is different from motherboard and is very cheap. You can buy it from amazon and fix it yourself. Replacing the charging port solved my battery drain issue.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] speakeasy1:
My pixel 3 xl out of no where powered off at 15 percent. I placed pixel on the charger and it began to charge. Once at 25% I manually turned on the phone. It was on for 30nsefonds and powered off again. Then it started turning on by itself. I followed all instructions from Google to try and resolve the problem. I entered safe mode and did factor reset. Same issues. In being sent a replacement phone. Has this happened to anyone?

Update: it is now completely bricked.

Update: it randomly turned on saying 1% battery life

Has anyone else had this happen?

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] zuuus:
MHA-L29C636B377 here, I installed the update early through HWOTA but it seems to have been approved for the past few days now in FF. I didn't notice much difference in graphics performance to be honest. And there seems to be even more bloatware than before. I ended up going to OmniROM and graphics performance seems just as quick.

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
Sorry, not sure did you already try Firmware Find and are the firmwares installable by DLOAD':

Huawei Firm Finder

Quickly, easily and freely find your Huawei phone's firmware. HiSuite Proxy's official integrated firmware finder.

www.firmfinder.ml

For the Phone Model, enter MHA-L29, Region c636 and scroll down to EMUI 8.0 firmwares.

E.g., to b378, as on the screenshot

Take the URL of the File List (e.g., open and Share the address, Copy to Clipboard), here it will be:

http://update.dbankcdn.com/download/data/pub_13/HWHOTA_hotaMigrate_900_9/13/v3/f2a0f38f024f49348c3e62f4b94008ef/full/filelist.xml

Replace filelist.xml by e.g. update.zip to download the file:

http://update.dbankcdn.com/download/data/pub_13/HWHOTA_hotaMigrate_900_9/13/v3/f2a0f38f024f49348c3e62f4b94008ef/full/update.zip

Similarly for the other two zip files:

http://update.dbankcdn.com/download/data/pub_13/HWHOTA_hotaMigrate_900_9/13/v3/f2a0f38f024f49348c3e62f4b94008ef/full/public/update_data_full_public.zip

and

http://update.dbankcdn.com/download/data/pub_13/HWHOTA_hotaMigrate_900_9/13/v3/f2a0f38f024f49348c3e62f4b94008ef/full/MHA-L29_hw_spcseas/update_full_MHA-L29_hw_spcseas.zip

Check the names and subpaths in the filelist.xml, e.g., this is also the ChangeLog:

http://update.dbankcdn.com/download/data/pub_13/HWHOTA_hotaMigrate_900_9/13/v3/f2a0f38f024f49348c3e62f4b94008ef/full/changelog.xml

Edit: I see now you asked for b377 (not b378) but it would be the same/similar

According to b377 ChangeLog, GPU Turbo comes with b377.

Be aware that it also means that Bootlader has been upgraded with the installation of b377.

Therefore, downgrading from b377 (or newer) to b376 (or older) would brick the phone

I haven't seen any update on their website for more than 2 months, and numerous posts in their forum asking the same question were left unanswered.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] m.schmidler:
yeah, youre right. seems like they switched to comic-style *lol*

If it isnt customizable like Manila2D I think hardly any one, except beginners, are going to use it. And, btw, I think theyre going to make it commercial. Or at least a "pro" edition to pay for (of course, "pro" would include custom-styles etc.......)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] uniqueboy:
That is the worst screen shot! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sheltem:
Totally. I like how Manilla 2d plays nice with the existing windows interface. I always find it problematic whenever a 3rd party gui acts as a program and takes up the entire screen. For example, when you hit the disconnect key when in spb mobile. Something like Manilla 2d or HTC Home just simply works better with minimal headaches because it operates as a today screen plugin.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tomazez:
This is never going to be commercial. They have made it very, very clear, from the start off, that they will never, ever charge for this product.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] seifip:

I really like Manilla2D no, but if PointUI comes with something nice i might go back to it, it all depends because the only reason i liked PUI is because it was really fast ( and the only today app that displays TASKS) yet Manilla is fast and its also skinnable so it wins in the current case. I so wish there was a way to display tasks in the home screen though... PointUI can do it, why cant any other today prog...

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] crusht:
I need to buy a phone soon. Wife cracked her screen and I will be giving her my mate 9 that I've been pretty happy with.

So I'm looking to buy either a mate 10 pro which is $470 on Amazon or the new OP6T. I've tried both of them out and the 6T is looking very sexy and modern but I reckon that feeling will wear off in a few days. I feel like the 10 pro may have better battery and camera.

Which bring me to my criteria. I need dual sim, good battery and camera and I don't root etc and don't have a problem with Emui.

Thoughts?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] il3gal:
Mate 10 Pro have a better camera and better battery.

OP6T looks very good ..

In my opinion (I rooting all my phones).. I don't buy Huawei phone because has removed the community due to blocking access to the bootloader
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] JoshuaLintag:
OP 6T if you don't mind the battery. There's the Google Camera port for the OP 6T plus it supports 4K EIS for video recording. Also the 845 is better than the kirin 970
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] revjamescarver:
Well the 6T has an iffy fingerprint reader, the camera sucks (and it's not just the software) and just installing a port of the Google camera doesn't fix that. As far as the CPU goes, that's kind of subjective, the Kirin 970 is a very capable processor. The Kirin 970 has their advanced modem and will give you very good LTE speeds (I'm getting between 45 to 90mbps versus 18 to 24mbps with my mate 9) For a dual SIM phone I would really go with the mate 10 pro BLA-L29 international model, just remember that if you're in the US it won't have any warranty
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] eyeb:
I like the normal mate 10 over the mate 10 pro. Has headphone jack and front finger print sensor that acts as the 3 buttons too

Granted I don't have a pro version to compare against except on paper specs...
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] crusht:
Appreciate the answers. The more I want to get the OP6T the more the 10 pro is looking better. Did the 10 pro dual sim version get the P20 pro night mode? If it did is it as good?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] hamadazh:
stay away from huawei after closed unlock bootloader service, and also there's no supporting for it,, and if you insist on mate 10 pro stay with Chinese version they have all support for OTA update.

OnePlus 6T is better with SD845 you'll have a lot of supporting from Developers, rom's, kernels, tweaks,, a lots of things.

i bought mate 10, 128G and 6Gb ram and i hate it after fkng huawei closed unlock service.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] penfold:
Why do you assume everyone cares if the bootloader is locked?

IMO the mate 10 pro has better battery life, better camera, and is waterproof (plus I actually like EMUI and its features)
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] 0alfred0:
I have the mate 10 pro, battery is very good, but the most you get with pro mode and playing around with many settings... It's not the easy quick perfect picture camera. It has received many updates and it's camera is very capable (night mode of course is not as good as p20pro, it's got different sensors)

The op6t camera is very good. Some people here said it's trash but they are talking Bs. Just take a look for yourself and Google samples from op6 or 6t users. It's a great camera.

But I would go with the op6t any day. The kirin 970 is good on paper and benchmarks but it overheats very fast, I cannot play pubg on lowest settings after 10min it thermothrottles and fps drop. The op6t just has the newer gen CPU which will be important going forward if you are going to keep the phone for 3+ years.

The op6t battery is very similar in size I don't think the difference should be too big to be a deciding factor. Both have fast face unlock though the fingerprint reader ist different. Decide what you like better.

All in all I think op6t is the more up to date phone which will also receive more updates and has better hardware for the upcoming 3years of use. The m10pro is more like the old, strong buddy that can still keep up. But the question is for how long.

What update you are looking for? Mate 10 Pro has all security patches. If you are talking about Android 8.1 it is not that major update and maybe that is why only China models received it. The next Major Android 9 will soon be available and that's what matters.

10 pro. I already had oneplus devices, and didn't like them as much as I did with the Huawei ones. Imo, the build quality is far better. It's on par with Apple. The camera is fantastic. The battery is a major goal. At first, I was having problems to get use with EMUI, in the end I passed to like it. It's not as good as oxygen os, but it's have been improving. So, I'll keep my 10 pro for more 6 months or a year.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Hildr:
Hu, something's wrong with your device. I play PUBG on higher setting everyday with coworkers at lunch, and I can play at least 30 minutes (since pause are not longer than that) consuming only 13% battery (not from 100%) and getting a 30-35°C that is not so hot, comparing to iPhone 8S that drain twice as much and can be barely kept in hand for the same lenght of time. Maybe some phone are better, but well, mate 10 pro is really good a handling games. My nintendo switch got hotter than that...

That said, I do not like the overhsarpening/oil-ing effect of the camera, so, even mid-tier camera are better for me, I would not go for the mate 10 for the camera.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ghostofcain:
I'm not, albeit I've rebranded to c432. I had an OP3 and came to Huawei primarily for the battery life, and here the Mate 10 pro still has nearly 10% bigger battery.

as you like,, and you already like it!! and it's just opinion :good: no one force you to not buying it,, for me i like that things like unlocked bootloader and root and play in system and change rom's etc,, and i wish to replace my mate 10 with OnePlust 6t,, or other brand.
