[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] mafy31:
The only Exynos version i found working without crashing is the one posted on post n° #62.

It is only OK for daylight+indoor with light+portrait or macro/blur effect.

Need to activate HDR on it.

There is another version made of 3 apps (day, night, super-night) but it does not work, picture aint good at all in my opinion. The one above is better, gives good results indoor when you zoom in because it is less noisy or less post-processed with HDR than stock cam, but takes longer to take a photo, so overall stock camera is most of the time the best option unfortunately.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] ajsmsg78:
I've used both on my International Snapdragon N10+. I would just keep using the stock camera as Gcam is no better than the stock camera app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Sutko82:
Which picture is better, consider everything?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] ajsmsg78:
I can take 100 photos at different times and Gcam sometimes takes a few that look better but that doesn't mean much. In low light the stock can was better for me 95 percent of the time. In those two photos one has the bright sky in it and the other doesn't. If they were both the same it would be easier to tell. The second one is better out of those two.

Here's two taken with portrait mode on the stock cam. It's Amazing. I have the international Snapdragon version.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] mafy31:
It is hard to tell, i would say that 1st one is overexposed (probably stock cam), so textures may appear a bit grainy or overprocessed, but the blur effect is better.

The second one is underexposed on the subject, so while it appears slightly better texture wise, it is only better because of lower grain due to lower exposure (probably Gcam).

The 1st one would have been definitely the best out of the two, if you had lowered the brightness 1 or 2 steps when taking the shot.

Very nice cat portrait ! Can't be better.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Sutko82:
True, why is stock camera 3rd or 4th best? Well for one stock alawys goes for brightness as you can tell that it is overexposed by miles and Gcam is a lot more sharp HDR is spot on. Skin tone and color accuracy to true scene is spot on. Samsumg tends to put that beauty/smoothing effects which is cartoonish. Taking pictures of people is just horrible however it does okay on Landscaping but still not Gcam or even iPhone level. Also when you get Gcam if you don't set perfect set up you will not get true performance and therefore stock may look better. Brighter pictures don't necessarily mean they are better as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] mafy31:
The 1st shot is simply badly taken ; there's no way you obtain this with stock cam if you do it right.. It is blurred because operator moved or something.

For the cartoonish thing, i'm wondering if there's a difference btw SD and Exynos with stock cam, because i don't really get this feel with my Exynos. I usually have this beauty filter off, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Sutko82:
Picture on left is Gcam with very accurate color and detail. Picture on left is stock cam. Nothing different shot taken at exact same time same angle. Not sure what you mean blurred? Although stock camera overexposed the shot and it always does. From YouTube reviews exynos camera is even worse than SD.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] mafy31:
I mean, left shot is out of focus ; stock cam does not do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Sutko82:
If you have exynous then you don't get the best of Gcam as it's not really compatible. Very cute cat! Is your cat that bright in real life? That shot lacks sharpness and contrast as well as HDR and that is where Gcam will bail you out and on low light pictures Gcam will do wonders with again Snapdragon model. There is always preference of course so if you like bright poping colors and see that as better shot then that's is your taste. Again no top YouTube tech revier ever takes Note 10 camera over Pixel and iPhone. They all find it 3rd best. Me personally I love that I can with my Note 10 have this Gcam and get the best of both worlds.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] mafy31:
That's actually plain wrong... or you didnt spend enough time checking here and there. They have their + and -. And note10+ has alot to offer and many things it manages better than at least one of the others.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Sutko82:
Check Supersaf with MKBHD
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] ajsmsg78:
It lacks sharpness because posting it to xda takes away from the quality. Believe me it's sharp and crisp. The brightness is a little more than in real life as Samsung tends to brighten the image even if there is enough light but most of the low light photos I've taken with Gcam as compared to the stock cam did not look as good, there was less detail. That's not to say that I've never taken a photo with Gcam that ended up looking better but it usually doesn't. I have the Snapdragon Note 10 + (international version)

Someone did a YouTube Review comparing the Note 10, Pixel and iPhone and the photos from the Note 10 looked better than the others in his review. It really depends on lighting, time of day and the colors in the shot. I have taken low light shots on my OP7 Pro that looked better than my Note 10 +. I took a shot with my Mediapad X2 once or twice (the phone came out in 2015) that looked better than my Mate 20 X or Note 10 +. All of these cameras are good at different things but to me the Note 10 + stock camera takes better all around photos than Gcam. If I see the Note 10's camera over brightening the shot too much then I drag the brightness slider down a little to compensate. Pro mode also works great at night if you know how to use it. Here are some pics I took on my Honeymoon with my S8+ two years ago. I uploaded them from my Google Photos account so they quality is even better in the original photos.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] mafy31:
The one with boats is kinda nice, fireworks as well.

Night shots when far away from the object is always difficult, need a tripod which i guess you did not have, the result can be way sharper.

Comparing note10+ with say, pixel is kinda wrong, first because what i see from pixel 4XL is not that nice (check their forum), but pro mode and ultra wide angle makes note10+ far better in my opinion features wise.

This ultra wide lens is awesome. Also the best android phone for video... And i believe photos are better on note10+ than iphone overall.

For me it is like the best swiss knife.

[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] Krisbo:
There doesn't seem to be much going on in this forum :(

It's a shame because I'm loving my Moto Z4! The camera could be a little better though. It's just a little soft and lacks detail. I downloaded the Gcam port for the Moto G7 Plus and while it works for taking photos (with substantially better fine detail than the stock app), many things aren't working e.g. reviewing a photo takes you to the photos app rather than giving a preview of the photo like the stock app.

Is there anyone out there much cleverer then I who is willing and able to port the Gcam app for the Z4?

Thanks!

Just found another one that has no issues at all and works better.

Just disable Force Super Res Zoom in settings:

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-parrot043/#apk1156

This is the best version of GCAM port that i found that doesnt crash on my Z4 ....

Bugs:

Night Mode doesnt work in landscape as expected (not sure why this happens). It also defaults to astrophotography (you can turn this off in settings). Works fine for selfie and portrait style pics.

Slow motion doesnt work.

*Edit* Video on *back* cam doesnt work but does on the front -- moto camera app takes better video anyhow .

Enjoy!

The lastest version of the above gcam project works fantastic with the Moto Z4. Video and night capture works flawlessly. Only thing that doesn't work is slowmotion.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] baldybill:
Anyone uses "L Speed" or LKT or NFS-Injector or anything for better battery life?

"L Speed" - https://xdaforums.com/apps/l-speed/tweak-l-speed-v1-0-02-02-2015-t3020138

LKT - https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/module-lkt-legendary-kernel-tweaks-t3896032

NFS-Injector - https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-nfs-injectorv1-t3857231

These all seem to supposedly do the same things for our phones... tweak them for better battery or better gaming or whatever.

Has anyone had good results from any of these for battery life?

I'm going to start testing them myself, but I want to know what results others have gotten.

Thanks!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] C D:
From my experience, there have definitely been no negative effects from using these types of tweaks. Almost since day one, I've used the older AKT 1.6 (I think you asked about that one last year) and then switched to LKT (picked balanced profile) earlier this year to test. Since I saw absolutely no difference in battery life between those two based on my light to moderate usage, I just kept LKT. I'm not sure what the exact benefits of these tweaks are vs. stock/no tweaks as I've been using them early on, but so far, there's no harm in having one of them installed as they don't interfere with anything I do on my phone (LS997, stock-based Nougat custom ROM, mk2000 kernel).

In case you're wondering about my typical battery life, I go from full to 10–15% in 1.5 to 2 days, averaging over 6 hours screen-on-time on a rotating pair of 4100 mAh Lithium polymer batteries that I had since last December.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] baldybill:
Thank you.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] baldybill:
Is there a particular app I can run for 5-10 minutes to "run" the phone a bit to them check Accubattery to see how much it's draining?

I would like something or some ideas so I can test each of these under similar situations and have a good comparison.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] C D:
That would be difficult to pull off since app usage varies so much by user, and you probably won't see much happening in such a short period. The most common thing to do is use any battery monitoring app such as GSam Battery Monitor or BetterBatteryStats that shows details of how much battery each app drains and use your phone normally for at least a full day to see if there is any significant drain by any app during the period. You can find brief descriptions of those battery monitoring apps over here.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] baldybill:
Valid point about the short period of time testing.

Here's my perceived dilemma:

Let's say I test the "l speed" for 1 day -- and play games for 1 hour and get 2 hours of phone calls.

Then I test the "LKT" for 1 day -- and play games for 45 minutes and get 1 hour of phone calls.

How can I tell which one is working best for battery life since the phone was used more on the 1 day than the other?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] C D:
That's where longer testing periods would be more helpful to cover any differences/inconsistencies. Ideally, you'd want to give it at least a week to get a good sense of any battery life benefits/drawbacks vs. no tweak installed.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] teji007:
You can choose Extended battery, I am currently using one 10500 mah battery. Battery life is mindblowing. I lasted more than 1 whole day with heaviest usage ( 7 hours Video Playback, Calls, Hotspot for 5 hours, etc) and still got 40% left on the battery. Yea its kinda bulky but you have to sacrifice something.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] baldybill:
That's not a bad idea. For now, though, I'll hold off on adding the bulk to the phone and keep tweaking. But it's something to keep in mind. Thanks!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Mysticblaze347:
In my testing, LKT can have thermal and ram issues, FDE can have thermal issues (both with battery above 115 degrees Fahrenheit.) FDE can have root ability issues as for editing files with root exploring app. Injector can have same issues, but not as bad. AKT still holds the crown in my book.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] baldybill:
My main issue with AKT is that it seems outdated. It's no longer updated. Many have said that it won't work right with Oreo (which I'm on). I don't know.

Are you on Oreo?

This is some good information. Thanks!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] cnjax:
I use AKT on oreo without any issues
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Mysticblaze347:
No, I can't Stock Oreo. Can't root past ZV7. I have a Ls997 (Sprint).

Well If you still want full root ability, then possibly LKT, maybe injector. Lspeed I have no issue with either. Lspeed can be used with AKT, LKT, FDE, Injector, but don't set same settings as others apply or it CAN have bad results. With Lspeed it seems a lil more aggressive as to acting and you can feel a difference with lag/performance/see battery changes with Accu pretty quickly after restarting with after changes.

As for out-dated, AKT may be old, but it sufficiently works. The app is best. Kinda like our phones, maybe kinda out date, but blows most of/if not - any other away with it's abilities. To be honest, most kernel mods might be based if of AKT imo. There is a way to edit post appied AKT profiles for further customised settings that will stick as AKT fully boots after restarting that I found also.

You can edit the post applied AKT selected profile that you want to always work automatically after AKT fully boots (Superuser boot) by going to... Root/storage/0 (or local, whatever your internal storage is)/AKT/AKT. Edit the AKT file in the AKT folder with text editor, save, delete backup file, reboot. Copy and paste a backup somewhere else to use as needed in future. Found this ability after many, countless wonders if able. Yes, yes it is :).
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] berndbrecht:
Hi there,

unfortunately I bricked my Mi8 during a ROM Flash. I could not see the options as they were "hidden" because of the resolution of my screen. And unfortunately the standard option seems to be "lock", so it did and now I cannot flash any ROM anymore.

Is the method with opening the phone and get in touch with a doggy service to unlock it still up date?

Is there anything I could do? Will Xiaomi help me if I write them an email?

Help would be much appreciated.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] trahzebuck:
Well, not knowing what you flashed and how you did it, it's hard to give an advice.

Can you boot to recovery, fastboot?

If you want some "output" you have to give more "input".

Is you phone recognized if you connect it to the pc? Perhaps you can revive it with mi flash and a complete rom (tgz). Be aware of the danger of relock!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] berndbrecht:
I know I did a mistake as i flashed it wrong as I did not choose the correct setting (just clean instead of clean and lock). I did not see the options when I did the flash as they were "hidden". The Bootloader is locked and therefore I cannot flash another ROM.

I can get into fastboot, no problem. But I cannot load a ROM (Bootloaderbis locked).

I do wonder if there is any way instead of opening the phone and get in touch with a commercial unlocker service.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] The War Profiteer:
Can't you simply use the bootloader unlock tool from MI?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] berndbrecht:
Unfortunately not, it stops at the second point and tells me that this is not connected to my mi account.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] The War Profiteer:
Wipe data and try again. What's the issue with "resolution of screen"?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] berndbrecht:
Why would the wipe help? I guess all data is errased anyway because iIflashed a fastbootrom via mi flasher. The problem was that a portion of the program (mi flasher) was hidden, the part on the bottom where you choose which flashmethod. Therefore standard is lock device and that happened...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] The War Profiteer:
I don't think your description of the issue is detailed enough for helping.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] berndbrecht:
What else do you need to know?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] mar.ur:
Just try to unlock bootloader again. If it is not possible, you have to contact with someone who has Xiaomi account authorization.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] berndbrecht:
Yeah, like the s unlock service. I think their my last chance after reading through the internet. Not looking forward to open my phone. pfffff...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] mar.ur:
I paid 12$ when my previous Redmi 6 pro was relocked after xiaomi.eu update. It is very sad that you must pay for authorization. Shame of Xiaomi.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] tsongming:
Is your device a Global or Chinese device and how long ago did you buy it and where from? If the bootloader was unlocked when you attempted to flash whatever you flashed then it was unlocked by someones account. Are you saying that you did not unlock it?

If you did unlock it yourself, then you can unbrick it. If someone else unlock the bootloader you should try contacting that person to get their id and password to unlock the device again, and then you can remove their account from the device and replace it with yours.

Next

Since you have fastboot

You need to download the fastboot rom for whichever device you own. Also, your phone must be clean, you will lose all data.

Mi8 Global Rom: https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?device=1700346

Chinese Mi 8 Rom : http://www.miui.com/download-345.html

Unpack the Rom, on your desktop and then place your phone into EDL Mode or fastboot. - The fastboot Rom comes with the Fastboot flashall script, it will fully restore your phone to the a Stable Rom and Overwrite every partition..

If you unpack the rom and it unzips into a larger version of the rom, unpack the new unpacked larger version, it will unpack into a folder, inside the folder local the flashall.bat file and with the phone connected double click it and wait 5 to 10 minutes until it reboots by itself, you will see the screen to connect to wifi, and then to add you account credentials, enter credentials, enjoy your restored phone.

---------- Post added at 07:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 AM ----------

You don't, ( well not anymore) you only pay someone to unlock if you do not have your account bound to the device. The person that you would pay has a vendors master unlocking account, these are very limited and these people are mostly located in Russia and Vietnam.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] berndbrecht:
Hi there,

that brings some light into the darkness, although I am did not completely understood all you wrote.

1. I bought the device used in Germany and it is the German version. It was unlocked and I installed Havoc OS which worked fine. Then I thought I should update Havoc OS and that'S what I did. This ended in a Bootloop. I went into the Recovery and it was kinda weird as it asked me in chinese to enter my pattern. I did and after that the touchscreen stopped working. Still could get into recovery and also install a new one via fastboot. But same problem. Then I googled and as I understood the solution to other people was an earlier MIUI ROM which I installed via the Mi Flash tool and here I am chosing the wrong selection for the flash and ending up in a brick.

2. I don't have the device connected to my MI account. So I guess I need someone with a vendor account? S Unlock also offers a software (one has still to pay) which works without the help of someone logging into and using e.g. Teamviewer. (at least that is their claim)

3. I cannot connect the device with MI flash and therefore no flash of a ROM is possible which brings me to

4. In any case, I for sure have to ****ing open the phone and play with the EDL Touchpoints? Right?

If one has any further ideas let me know, I am really fed up with this ****.
