Tested now, with no XMLs activated, pure stock and so far so good ... also quality is good, better, a lot better than stock cam. Don`t ask pics please, the smartphone I`ve tested is not mine, it`s my father who owns it :cowboy:

---------- Post added at 06:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 PM ----------

Since I`m trying to improve the photo quality somehow for the smartphone my father use, I`ve searched a bit about what camera module it uses and I`ve found out that is the same module (Sony IMX582 sensor) used on redmi k20 (not pro) and I will test if any Gcam ports for that modules will bring a better experience in photos, compared with the ones I`ve read here....That if my time will allow me to actually do so. If I see anything to be mentioned here I will post.

Meanwhile you could also try these ports https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-ojosehenrick/ and https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-dieflix/ made by k20 users/devs

All the best!

I don't know if it was an option or it appeared, but in full HD 60 video recording in FPS you can select image stabilization. However, this is probably another android bug, because stabilization does not work. Is this android 9 underdeveloped? Is simply android one stripped of its function?

Is there any gcam port that supports ultrawide in mi a3?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Enigma.:
There is, bunch of them support it, but more often than not you're gonna have to enable it in settings under the "auxiliary camera" section.

Have in mind that it might take time to find version where ultrawide is bug free, but generally i found version 6 to be more stable.

The link of course is https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/

seems like persist.img is corrupted!

if you have fastboot rom (miui10.3.7 (2.7gb) , extract it, and further extract it, i will come something 8 gb in total!

inside images folder there will be persist.img

flash that img file, in TWRP /persist PARTITION (BE CARE FUL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

or better use ORANGE FOX RECOVERY to flash PERSIST.img

then reboot device and check!

if it still doesnt work then use miflasher, and flash this FASTBOOT rom from image folder!

REMEMBER!!!!!!!! don't tick the box, "FLASH ALL AND LOCK" this will relock your bootloader! , simply select "FLASH ALL" button in miFLASHER (down-right)

i gave up and started using custom roms! they are closer to Stock android and have amazing customizations!

Evolution / Havoc / AeX on android 10 is amazing!

Reloaded OS (android10) is CAF based rom and its faster than others but have no customizations!

CR droid has maximum customizations but its little laggy!

you may also use

Masik13.3 and XiaomiEu roms which are Modified MIUI versions! ( google MIUI ROM BUILDER) and you can predefine features!

these roms can them be flashed via Twrp!

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] sam00561:
iff you guys are rooted you can try the gps fix module from downloads section. I am on custom rom Asoip and no such problem with gps it is very fast. Also there is an app called Agps on playstore which can re calibrate the Gps and it makes it function faster and it doesnt need root.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] h8Aramex:
A-GPS is only assisted GPS. It's "fake GPS" so to say. Most GPS Status/toolbox apps can "Fix" AGPS by clearing the cache and it will be re-downloaded. However, if you just enable location services for a longer period of time, it should fix itself so to say.

THAT SAID, A-GPS is not precise and is not your location.

Install "GPS Status" from Play Store (either or both) and check the signal strength there.

From what I found... in terms of GPS accuracy...

#1 Samsung Exynos / Huawei HiSilicon (high-end chips, I have not tested lower end Exynos / Kirin)

#2 Snapdragon 600 series (like 670, 675)

#3 Snapdragon 800 series (845, 855 - their signal is trash)

I don't know where MediaTek/Helio stands. But yea, from the devices I tested, this is what I saw. There is the Snapdragon 700 series, not sure how that performs either.

Hello xda family

I got poco f1 for less than a month now, recently got notification of 10.3.7 update which was 1.8G in size, followed instructions and after update was completed and phone was restarted, the phone is in unusable condition, apps don't fully work, update app gives white screen then goes unresponsive, screen doesn't go off and drains super quickly.

I did some research and it doesn't seem to be a global issue, so is there a way to restore functionality on the phone?

I did some research and since update app doesn't work post-update, I can't use it to reinstall rom, so for fast boot restore I found out I have to unlock boot loader which takes 72 hours that I can't use the phone. Is there any way to restore to old firmware, uninstall update, reinstall without unlocking bootloader?

I'm desperate for ideas guys

My WiFi is not working properly after the update. It gets connected but I can't browse anything

Does anyone have same issue
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] YasuHamed:
sir what do you mean "unusable condition"

did you buy used Poco ?

anyways! since your BOOT is locked! you cannot use TWRP,

download the recovery rom from https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/beryllium/ , 1.8gb, rename the file to "update.zip" , put it in internal storage "download" folder, goto DOWNLOADER app, call the update from internal storage (right side top, 3 dots) and select "update.zip" file and apply! the device should boot in to MIUI RECOVERY and apply the update.... REBOOT!

if this doesn't help... then

ASSUMING YOU HAVE ALL THE QUALCOM DRIVER INSTALLED!

downlaod MI FLASHER,

download miui10.3.7 FASTBOOT ROM (2.6BG) FROM https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/beryllium/

and boot device in to FASTBOOT (green android bot on screen) ,

extract, and then further extract fastboot rom, until u see folder name "images" , open miflasher, click SELECT and POINT it to IMAGES folder,

connect poco to your pc , click button "FLASH ALL" (only) and hit FLASH (or START), you will see slow progress bar (green) and full rom will be flashed!

FIRST REBOOT WILL TAKE TIME

YOU WILL LOOSE ALL YOUR DATA

inshallah it will be okay now!

call for 72 hour unlock time! if you wana root your poco! but IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHY SHOULD YOU ROOT? then probably you should not unlock your device

best of luck!

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] creatip:
Hi, I got my p20 pro as a 2nd hand/used phone.

So if I understand correctly, the top camera/tele lens is supposed to give a better image quality than the main camera's digital zoom, right?

Mine is the opposite. The tele lens...well....sucks big time. The image quality honestly looks like the image quality of a phone from 15 years ago. The digital zoom of the main camera is way better looking. The video in the link below is the video capture of the moment when it automatically switched to the tele lens. Everything seems blurry and glowing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NBkFjNTDnw

Physically, I can see that the lens is a bit murky, by shining a small flashlight directly above the lens. Anyone have a tip on how to clean the lens safely? Or is the only option is to replace the whole camera unit?

I found a replacement part on aliexpress, and watched a video of the replacing process on youtube. Seems simple enough, can a layman like me pull it off (replacing the part myself)?

Thank you in advance.

I've received the Pie update, and with some tweaks I'm kind of satisfied.

My current problem is that HTC managed to include the new volume menu (the one that shows on the side of the screen when you press a volume button) but somehow forgot to add the similarly styled power menu.

Anybody knows of any alternative to getting that power menu?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] swampyfern:
Not sure how many other people had the same problems... So here goes.

I downloaded HTC's official WM 6.1 update for the TyTN II. The installation went flawlessly. No errors. And that's about when things stopped going right. There were two major issues after the update and they were so bad that I had to revert to 6.0.

1) The touchscreen would just stop responding. For several seconds or even a minute or two at a time. This is with no applications running in the background, on the home screen.

2) GPS. Where to start? Tried it with iGuidance, Tom Tom 6 and Route66 v7. They all lagged. The unit would track my position, but it would be about a kilometre or to behind my actual position. Or worse. Worse, actually, since it wouldn't catch up to my position unless I was actually stopped. Which got interesting when I was on a highway.

So yeah... WM 6.1 for TyTN II to be avoided in my opinion.

Incidentally... This is my first post. Interesting place. Lots of good info.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ryncppr:
Obviously you didn't search the forums or you would find your answer. The lagging of your screen has been addressed in several posts.

LineageOS 16.0 for Xiaomi Mi 5 with 4.4 kernel

Remember this is a beta release, althought I've been using it for more than a week and it's working perfectly.

If you experience any bugs, panics or so, please report full logs to me (logcat and dmesg, you can look in /sys/fs/pstore)

Installation:

You can flash it on top of OFFICIAL 3.18 LOS also you can always go back within a dirty flash.

For safety reasons always perform a backup of your important data!

Features:

This is well-known LOS, none of the functionalities have been altered.

Build is running 4.4.189 kernel with many improvements over 3.18, it will keep this device alive for upcoming Android releases.

Kernel is suited with initial bug fixes, however, it's a stock kernel without any advanced tweaks. It's built with CLANG (!).

Working:

Probably everything!

Not working:

Kernel is permissive

Temporary MTP fix (I didn't have enough time to investigate it well):

Developer settings -> Default USB conf -> MTP -> connect cable -> profit

READ ONLY IF YOUR DEVICE IS ENCRYPTED:

There is an incompatibility between 3.18 and 4.4 kernels, you have to flash new TWRP with 4.4 kernel, otherwise your data partition will be DAMAGED!

Nevertheless there could be a need to full wipe your /data (magic Format Data button in TWRP) so perform a FULL BACKUP.

Download:

LineageOS zip

TWRP

Future development:

Device tree will be created from scratch over new Qualcomm tag to get rid of old junk. Full Treble compability will be provided.

More kernel bug fixes

Vendor update

FAQ:

Can I install XXX ? Does it support XXX ?

- It's still LOS, it supports everything what stock LOS does.

Can't you ship kernel package only?

- No, ROM has to be modified to meet 4.4 requriements. You can't flash 4.4 kernel on top of 3.18 ROM.

But why 4.4? Do I need it?

- More fixes, more performance, more support. If you want, search for kernel changelog.

EAS?

- Not now, there are more important things to work on.

If you want to buy me a coffee, please consider donating, I've put much effort to make it working.

Huge thanks to Zuk kernel team for initial 4.4 support!

Damn, do you think it's easy to port it on 4.14? For small group of users? Totally for free?

Och, and remember, I had to buy a new mobo to restore my dd.

msm8996 has official support of 4.4 kernel and that's enough. I won't go any further, even if it's possible.
