[Xiaomi Mi 8 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] tanjir.h:
Didn't quite get your question. But to have a Pixel Experience ROM, I never flashed any firmware nor vendor. Always used the latest MIUI that is available and just flashed the ROM zip file. And that's all.

And about your computer detecting your device storage, it should show up the storage whenever you boot into recovery unless MTP is disabled.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] skulqerX:
Done . Sorry for the bad English haha.

I followed your above instructions and successfully installed Pitchblack , then the Pixel+ ROM :)

Cheers. Thank you:good:

Hi guys! Can i flash this on miui 11 stable android 10?

---------- Post added at 02:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 PM ----------

Can I use the that installer on miui 11 stable android 10?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] tanjir.h:
If you followed the above instructions, then PitchBlack should work just fine.

BTW, if you are interested in installing the latest Pixel Experience ROM, then the dev already made a working TWRP, use that instead. And follow his instructions. Here is the thread.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Trojan00:
Thanks man.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Trojan00:
Bro. It works at first. But after I format data and eipe all partitions, then I reboot recovery . It did not work and it boot into fastboot mode. When i tried to reinstall again it says failed to load/authenticate boot image. Pls help
[Xiaomi Mi 8 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] tanjir.h:
Flash the fastboot rom. And don't wipe all the partitions next time. Just format data
[Xiaomi Mi 8 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Trojan00:
You mean the fastboot rom of stock rom?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] tanjir.h:
Yes. I don't know any other way to get back to the previous state without flashing the full ROM through fastboot. You can Google the process if not familiar with.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Trojan00:
Thanks. I flash the fastboot rom. I started the process all over again. Now Im running crDroid. Tnx
[Xiaomi Mi 8 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Trojan00:
Any custom recovery i flashed now shows different characters on my internal storage. And also can't back up. It says cannot create folder for back up.
[Huawei P Smart Guides, News, & Discussion] SuperBoot!:
Hello everyone! Before starting this article , I would like to say that this Gcam port doesn't belong to me. There are multiple developers that worked on this , i'm here just to share the link and my experience with it.

"Story" :

Anyways , I've had my P Smart for a year now, And I mostly bought it for the camera.

After using it for about 7 months , I really saw how poor the processing is on the stock camera app. So I decided to look at some solutions to my problem.

One of the main problems with the stock camera for me was the "Portrait Mode" and "Wide Aperture". They were really bad on EMUI 8.0 and they are just as bad on EMUI 9.1. And well, Here is Gcam to solve the problem

My experience with it:

I've been using this Gcam port for a while and I can say that it is amazing.

Things that work really well:

-HDR,HDR+, the zoom is waaay better

-Portrait mode works like a charm and looks very good (only works on humans, not objects)

-Video Recording (also you can easily stabilize the videos from the Google Photos app)

-Photo sphere

What doesn't work:

-Night Sight

-Slow-mo

-Panorama

-Taking a photo with no HDR

What kind of works :

-RAW ( has a really weird green tint on the pic)

Photos:

All of these photos were taken with the stock camera (Emui 9.1) and Gcam

1)Stock Camera, Normal mode, No zoom

2)GCam , HDR+ enabled, No zoom

3)Stock camera , Normal mode, Full zoom

4)GCam , HDR+ enabled ,Full zoom

As you can see , the dinamic range is way better on GCam

VERY IMPORTANT!!

Settings before you use it!

The default settings are wrong. You first need to go to "More" then "BSG settings" and then set the saturation as you like , otherwise the photos look dead

And well , here is the link Just like I said , THIS MOD DOESN'T BELONG TO ME!

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/MGC_6.1.009_MI8_V1a.apk

Like this post if this helped ya , Have a nice day ;)
[Huawei P Smart Guides, News, & Discussion] KasraMC:
I've been using this for a long while got it from honor 9 lite forums. Here are the settings that I use. Front camera isn't very good though always makes lights pink and even rear camera sometimes does it but I try to fix it in snapseed.

If you do have good settings for front cam let me know!
[Huawei P Smart Guides, News, & Discussion] SuperBoot!:
Well , the saturation settings don't really matter , it's about preference,

But I think it's some sort of glitch from the app itself, and to avoid the glitch , you always have to focus on the point where is the most light. here are my setting tho , and an example of the pink tint on my p smart
[Huawei P Smart Guides, News, & Discussion] onedial:

[General Questions and Answers] elt72356:
Hi. My phone is: NXT-L29 ( Huawei Mate 8, Europe, unlocked bootl., Marshmallow, EMUI 4.0 ). I installed official TWRP for this device via fastboot, tried all 8 versions available but black screen is all I achieved (probably because they are all for EMUI 4.1). Used SRKtools and TWRP asked me for password to decrypt data, which I don't know. Can I flash magisk with fastboot over encrypted data? Won't that brick the phone? Or should I update to EMUI 4.1? Or what else do you suggest? Also, should I somehow disable dm-verity and RMM or should I just format data partition? Will it get reencrypted on next boot? Any help appreciated. :confused:

EDIT: One more question: is firmware update possible with unlocked bootloader or must I relock it first?
[General Questions and Answers] SublimeFoxTheater:
Every time I rooted a phone you erase and format data partition first. Nothing encrypted or otherwise should be on the phone iirc... Then flash custom recovery, then rom, then modem / whatever else. Then sideload root script or whatever method to root. Nowadays since there are so many payment methods and ways to get ripped off on phones, I use LineageOS which has a radio button in settings the switches root over adb on or off. Serves my pruposes and avoids the danger of having open bootloader and root 24/7 and brainlessly easy. Don't know if LineageOS supports Mate 8 but it should, it's a popular phone here in USA. Good luck!

PS. If it's not too personal, what are you wanting to achieve once you get root access? All I use it for is to run powermanager over adb and remove bloatware and change hosts files to block malware hosts and social media (internet cancer). I only need to gain root once to do this so no need to run it all the time, too risky to me imo.
[General Questions and Answers] elt72356:
Hello and thanks for your reply. I'll try that tomorrow if time allows me. I need root mainly to get rid of ads! There are so many brilliant apps ruined by ads and AdAway is the solution. Bloatware removal also is a good enough reason. Previously I rooted Galaxy Note 3 and it was a breeze, no problem at all, so I hadn't realised how things changed for worse. I found LineageOS but beta version so I think I'll stay with the current system which works absolutely fine for me.
[General Questions and Answers] SublimeFoxTheater:
Ok let us know what you did and if it works. I have never heard of AdAway I just add offending urls to hosts file. To do this you need to have root and mount system and edit the hosts file, then reboot even back to rootless and it still works. If you need to block and unblock fast then I could see an app being needed but if you know what you want to get rid of you only need root and to edit human readable hosts once and you're done.
[General Questions and Answers] elt72356:
On reflection, I think I won't rush into things. I must read more on dm-verity and other protection mechanisms so at least I have a foggy idea what I'm doing and what can go wrong. AdAway is a great ad blocker working with websites and apps and the idea of doing all this manually seems rather tedious. As for safety, I only ever use one pre-paid card without overdraft and loaded with tiny amounts at a time that's connected to my google account, so if it gets compromised that won't be the end of the world - not that it ever happened.
[General Questions and Answers] SublimeFoxTheater:
most fraud comes from social engineering, catfish, etc.

I used supersu back in the day even worked stock rom, as long as bootloader and flashing are unlocked.

The Dev zipped the binary and a script to copy it wherever it goes and make it only accessible to you (after lock screen)

Then install supersu apk and you'll be asked to give root when an app wants it

I used this to use a game editor to give myself more in game currency haha.

I beat people in the game and they did in app purchase to devs in China, received nothing, so I had no problem exploring this flaw and handing out Justice to those in deep nerd rage haha.

In app items, come on bro that ain't what money's for.
[General Questions and Answers] elt72356:
I'm immune to social engineering, mate :) I still have supersu on my Galaxy Note 3 with SlimRom, but I notice it's no longer maintained, so that's how I found out about Magisk which is opensource into the bargain and attemps to hide root so maybe my banking app will work for a change.

Did you use custom editor to hack into the game? Cause I assume the devs weren't so accommodating to provide one for your convenience.
[General Questions and Answers] elt72356:
Ok, it works. Got tired of inaction and just did it and no catastrophic scenario materialized. Job done!
[Android Auto General] NoordRed:
I bought an android car radio multimedia player. To make the steering wheel controls of my Peugeot 307 (2002) work, the seller sent me a cable with canbus decoder especially for this car. The android system works ok, but the steering wheel functions don't. The cable has 2 ISO connectors that plug in the existing car connectors. The other side goes into the android system, together with a small cable which comes from the canbus decorder. There is another connector on this cable with 4 leads that comes from the canbus converter, but I don't know where to plug it in. The leads are red, white, yellow and black. I asked the seller about this, but he only responds that the wire is ISO docking... no further technical details.

Anyone familiair with this kind of connector?

[LG G8 Questions & Answers] RaggyD:
Could anyone please give me some input on this?

I've got a new lg g8 (new from Best buy on a sale, unlocked), and when I try to access several of the permissions menus I get a prompt to type in a username and password? I'd rather not reset the phone to see if it goes away (I didn't use those menus before, I tinkered with permissions app by app, so I dont know if it was there before right off.

If this is a legit phone thing I can't fathom what it wants. I've really not done anything funky that would put this phone at risk for getting something..and I don't want to just go typing in passwords willynilly.

Thanks in advance for any help.

[LG G8 Questions & Answers] DrivenKeys:
I've never setup user accounts without admin privileges on a phone, but I know it's possible. I wonder if the phone is somehow set to a guest/demo account access. That behavior is very similar to when I tried adjusting deep settings in a showroom G8.
