Google Gcam first test.

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-arnova8G2-beta/#apk936

Gcam's settings:

Back and front cam: Pixel 3XL

Custom libs: Fi v2

Quality HDR+: Super High

Picture A(tunnel):

top left - Google Gcam HDR Enhanced

bottom left - Asus HDR+Enhanced

right - Google Gcam HDR Enhanced RAW edited to taste in lightroom

The difference isn't'as pronounced as I thought.

We see difference in sharpening and noise reduction, both of those are higher on Asus.

We have a tiny bit more details on Gcam.

Picture B(dynamic range):

top - Asus HDR+

bottom - Google Gcam HDR Enhanced

Surprisingly Asus has better dynamic range here.

Details are better on Gcam.

Picture C(daylight dynamic range):

top - gcam HDR Enhanced

bottom - asus HDR+Enhanced

Gcam stacks more photos(and it takes longer). More details and 48mb resolution.

Gcam has also more realistic color of the car. Asus is less saturated here surprisingly.

Dynamic range is similar.

Picture D(low light - tripod):

https://imgur.com/QIfoImT

top - gcam HDR Enhanced(night mode doesn't work and i doubt it will change anything)

bottom - Asus Night Mode

Certainly much more details on Gcam. Unfortunately Asus' Super Night Mode didn't turn on.

Picture E(low light - hand held):

https://imgur.com/Ptoo2t5

top - Asus Night Mode

bottom - gcam HDR Enhanced

Unfortunately gcam lowers shutter speed down to 1/6s. I was able to force it to use 1/10s but the noise increased and it didn't change much.

Furthermore, gcam's HDR quality settings don't change how many frames will it take in low light. It you set it to low or super high it doesn't change anything. Here in my opinion Asus wins.

Picture F(evening - gcam 12mp vs 48mp):

https://imgur.com/iwKvb1z

No point in shooting in 12mp ;).

Picture G(evening gcam 48mp vs Asus):

https://imgur.com/jvCOQd6

top left - Asus Night

top right - Asus HDR+Enhanced

bottom left - Asus HDR+

bottom right - Gcam 48mp Super Hight HDR+Enhanced

Gcam obliterates Asus' software here.

Summary:

- gcam offers better details and colors in super high mode...

- ...but TAKES A LOT longer to process(duh)

- gcam in beta 2 is still unstable, viewfinder lags a lot

- Asus sometimes offers better dynamic range(when HDR+ kicks in)

- Asus is better in very low light due to Nigh Mode which works better without OIS when smartphone is hand-held and because gcam limits the amount of frames taken :/
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] _Cku_:
Great review!

For stock camera app, I've noticed HDR+ enhanced mode in auto isn't really suitable for low light.

The night mode setting is better for that scenario (would assume obviously) but takes a little longer.

I don't have any comparisons but feels like night mode got better vs when I got the phone , with the updates.

Bootloop

I try install TWRP for G3121 and have a bootloop 5 sec about device is not trusted and only sony logo next restart. What I can do and how i can repair that?

I repaired it, i use emma and recovery form special server soft and this work.
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] MCGARCI88:
You need to install flashtool, then install the flashmode, fastboot and your xperia XA1 Drivers, then download the firmware from the same Flashtool program, it's called XperiFirm. Turn off your phone, press the (vol -) key at the same time connect the usb cable to computer.
[General Questions and Answers] Ankur Srivastava:
Hi I am a new member to this forum but have always liked the posts.

I am using Infinix Zero 5 Pro

My Phone Details are as under

Phone Running on XOS Humming Bird V3.0

Ram : 6 B

Rom / HDD: 128GB

Model : Infinix X603

XOS Build Number: XOSP64-V3.0.251-P2-171207

Phone Build: X603-H575B-N-In-190307V114

Could you please let me know if this phone would be getting an Oreo Update and if so when would that be released.

Also if the update is not in for the phone, can I go ahead and perform the custom ROM install.

To perform the custom ROM install, please let me know how do I proceed for the same.

Any help is appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Whether or not your device gets an update is controlled by your manufacturer or your carrier. Contact your manufacturer or your carrier, they can tell you when/if your device will get the update.
[General Questions and Answers] Ankur Srivastava:
Thanks for the update . I spoke with the infinix team rather wrote them an email and they said they are not sure if this device would get the Oreo update.

So once again if it does not get update then can I go with the custom ROM and how would I proceed with the same
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Did you ask your mobile carrier if they will offer the update for that device on their network? Asking your manufacturer isn't enough, the manufacturer creates and releases the updates for devices but your carrier is the one that decides whether they will push that update to the devices on their network.

If the manufacturer releases the update for your specific model number, you don't necessarily have to update via a carrier OTA update, you can download the update manually and flash it via your devices specific flash tool on PC. Then it doesn't matter whether your carrier offers the update, you'll be flashing the update directly from the manufacturer.

As for installing custom ROMs, that will require your device to have an unlocked bootloader. You need to check the status of your bootloader to see if it is locked or unlocked. If it's locked, you'll have to search for the method to unlock bootloader on devices with your specific device model number and your specific android version or build number.

If you find a working method to unlock bootloader on your device, thrn you can flash TWRP on your device. To find the method for flashing TWRP on your device, do a Google search for:

"Install TWRP on (your specific model number)"

If TWRP exists for your model number, that will find it and how to flash it.

Then you can flash custom ROMs if any exist for your specific model number. To find custom ROMs for your model number, do a Google search for:

"Custom ROMs for (your specific model number)"

If any exist, that will find them, if you find a ROM, follow the instructions in the thread or guide that you find the ROM in to install it.
[General Questions and Answers] Ankur Srivastava:
Thanks for the update. Really appreciate it...

I forgot to mention I had word with my mobile carieer Reliance Bio and they said they haven't had any update for this model since if the phone manufacturer won't release then they can't push it...

My question is based on my phone specification could you let me know if proceeding with custom ROM would be good option
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It depends on if any ROMs are available for your model number and it depends on how well the developer built the ROM. You'll have to do all that searching, reading, researching and learning for yourself. No one is going to spoonfeed you around here, you're still going to have to do the work for yourself. You are re one that wants to update your device and you are the one that knows what kind of functionality and features you want. Start finding ROMs and reading up on them to see how well they perform, find one that seems stable, ask others that have used it, when you find one that you like, try it out, if you don't like it, try another. Keep doing that until you're satisfied.

Keep in mind, this is assuming that there are ROMs for your model.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LicQuyd:
Hello,

I have my own VPN located in the states.

I want to use it on my FireStick but I can not figure out how to set it up.

I checked the forums and most point to use a VPN app but I do not want to use a third party VPN, just my own.

It's a basic VPN, nothing special.

Is there any app for this or can it be done with just the firestick settings?

Sorry if there is already a post on this but I could not find it.

Best Regards
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n8wwd:
I found this: https://seo-michael.co.uk/how-to-install-vpn-on-a-firestick-ipvanish-vpn/

It covers both third-party and custom VPNs

Hope that helps!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LicQuyd:
Thanks for the link, but it does not seem to have instruction on how to use my own VPN, just pointing to IPVanish and other third party VPNs
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n8wwd:
Duh! You are correct! Helps to keep reading...lol
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LicQuyd:
Yeah, I have been looking for months for a solution, can't find it!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n8wwd:
I will NOT be defeated!!! That's something that should be known anyway!!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n8wwd:
Ok! Check this out! https://vpntips.com/fire-tv-vpn-install/

Now, it does mention OpenVPN but that's only for the binary files the fire device needs, since it's not built in.

It does mention a third party again, but since you own your own server, you should know what information is needed for the remaining steps.

Give it a whirl and let us know the results! It just may spark an interest in creating our own home-brewed VPN Server on some old PC laying around!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llukezz:
Just FYI I found the fire stick hardware to be a limiting factor in connection speed. I was not able to get over 30 mbps on the stick with a VPN. I tried many different vpns and apps and it came down to simply the stick is not powerful enough to do the encryption faster than 30mbps.

A work around was getting a router that is hardware capable dedicated for the stick.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] James160103:
You can also buy a cheap router that supports VPN like I did.

Simply connect one end of a LAN cable to the WAN port of the new router and the other to any LAN port of your existing one.

Then set up the new router and configure the VPN settings.

Managed to get mine set up and running in less than 15 minutes.

Here's the router I bought, running fine whilst still receiving updates with security patches:

I use PIA just download the right version and side loaded seems to run great simple interface
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LicQuyd:
I don't want to use a third-party VPN server. I have my own located in the USA and i'm in Canada, and I want to use that one.

I can't seem to figure out how to set it up on the device itself, but I could use another router....but I don't want all my devices to use VPN, just a few.

Anyone out there know? I'm stumped
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LicQuyd:
Seems you have been defeated! Unfortunately :crying:
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LicQuyd:
Unfortunately, I can not change my VPN server and added it as an OpenVPN server.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n8wwd:
I do not believe it will turn your server into an OpenVPN, it just needs some files that the device does not have natively.

At least, that's my understanding.

If this is not, then yes, I bow my head in defeat.

Take care!

Hello!

I have trouble with my One plus 6 t receiving text messages. I receive them a day late, all coming through at the same time in a bulk of messages the next day. I changed my sim card so T mobile doesn't seem to be the cause of it. Are these problems because I rooted my phone? If so what is the solution? Thank you!
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] 666syco:
My 6T is also rooted and at one point I has service issues (on Verizon) I tried all my mods one at a time till I figured out witch mod caused it and I was shocked to find out it was my substratum themes messing with something. Once removed all was grand. Hope this help. Go one by one through any mods in place disabling them see if it helps.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Wijanyc:
The problem is that I have a lot of apps...Did you disable them one by one? And also I realise that I receive the delayed messages 1 day after so it's not easy to check. So the problem comes from the fact that my phone is rooted? Also when I use the camera my phone closes sometimes, like 30 sec after...Very weird. Does all this come from the rooting? Never heard of this problem before.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] 666syco:
Yes I did dilisabled one at a time and rebooted after each one. And for text delay who is your carrier I'm on Verizon and mine was delayed for a hour or so till I figured it out I'd quick text my self hi from my own number and hit home to close the messages app out so I could time the reply time.

This helped me also.

Hello,

So the problem comes from the fact my phone is rooted?

I'll try to do a video of this
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Ryano89:
This is not normal. I've been rooted for months and do not have these problems. There is something else wrong
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Frosthaxx:
Just being rooted wouldn't be the issue. Sometimes it's honestly as simple as resetting your network settings. As for camera issues have you modified your camera in any way, possibly added a magisk module or something that isn't compatible with our phones, outdated modules can sometimes cause issues as well. It's hard to pinpoint but rooting isn't the issue as these phones were designed for rooting. It's something else entirely. You said your on T-Mobile, was it branded T-Mobile? They like to put their own bloated apps on phones that could probably cause issues too. This is why I went straight to the actual company. You get more up to date and their warranties better than tmobiles. Without knowing what's on your phone I can just speculate. But no just rooting and unlocking bootloader isn't causing this issue
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Wijanyc:
I bought it from One plus directly, not T mobile. I resetted the network settings a lot of times and it still does the same thing. I noticed it happens more when several applications are opened, like when I watch a youtube video and do something at the same time. But even after closing youtube app and all my other apps, it does the same thing. On magisk I have: Busybox for Android, Energized protection, Google product sans, IOS 12.1 emoji, systemless hosts, viper4android, youtubevanced.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] adobrakic:
I've noticed that being on WiFi causes phone network issues (e.g., phone calls going straight to voicemail, text messages being delayed). This is with WiFi calling disabled, and a non-rooted phone. Really not sure what's going on here, especially because when it happens, my network signal is just fine. But if I disable WiFi, the delayed texts come in immediately. Super annoying.

This is on T-Mobile, latest beta (I think version 11).
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Wijanyc:
I do not see this wifi call option on my one plus 6t.

Hello,

I've a similar problem.

I've my rooted 10.25'' android screen in my Audi and so with an app like "EasyReboot" I can reboot in recovery mode.

But when I'm within the recovery mode I can't select any line to for example make a backup on SD.

I tried to connect an usb keyboard but It isn't recognized (It's well recognized when the HU running).

I've just remark that when I touch the screen with 2 fingers, the first line is selected (Reboot now).

So maybe a finger touch combinaison ?

I have (almost) exactly the same problem like steck31: I get into ecovery mode, but there I cannot do anything, except make the first line green. on my device, it's not by two fingers anywhere, but by one finger in the upper right corner.

Any solution?

For people struggling getting into recovery mode at all:

Connect a PC and the HU into same network (WiFi on the hu), then install adb (many instructions for that on the net), and type:

adb connect 192.xxx.xx.xx (IP of HU)

adb reboot recovery
[Android Head-Units] Gauner:
Ok, I have a solution for what I wanted to do in the recovery mode: Erase the device.

This can be done like described here:

while releasing the reset button, keep tapping with FIVE fingers on the screen, then the device gets into "erasing".
