[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] olivercervera:
If you are referring to the MIUI EU ROM you could try, but it will probably fail and nobody has tried it yet.

The issue is we have no way (yet) to recover the device if will bootloop. We have the full ROM file, but it's a recovery zip: inside the zip I can't find a recovery we could flash in fastboot.

EDIT:

Download this recovery for RN8 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261617206

Extract the file and rename it to recovery.img

Reboot the device in fastboot and run

"fastboot boot [recovery.img]"

This will NOT flash the recovery but only boot it. If it loops, just reboot the device and will be back to normal.

Ok thx, what about the custom aosp roms?
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] olivercervera:
Well, try this step first. Without TWRP, you can't flash anything.

The shutter button hangs for me after trying to take a picture no matter if hdr is on or off. I think it's either working only on global rom or Indian variant of 8a. I'm not sure how to tell which variant u have unless u bought it there locally. I'm currently on EU rom instead of global but the model my 8a is global version with more bands since I ordered it online. Also I think gcam is supposed to work if these are showing but it doesn't for some reason

64bit gcam link plz
[Xiaomi Redmi 8A Themes, Apps, and Mods] lazarilic72:
I've found this port of gcam for redmi 8a. Everything works except for the front camera. If you want front camera to work you need to enable hdr+ for front cam in settings which will break the main camera. Also there is a button for night sight. It is very reliable.

Link: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1520/

There is a newer version but it only supports android 9.

Thanks to Expace for this great app.

If you installed miui 12 and the photo quality is very bad, this port is a real lifesaver! Unrelated but is it just me or does miui 12.0.1 update destroy the camera quality?

I'm looking for the best watch connected for my 7pro, I tried the Fossil Gen5 is good but ... I'm looking better, I'm watching for the Galaxy Watch active 2 (I would love to have feedback on this smartwatch)
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] borijess:
Ticwatch pro 4G.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] spaziomilano:
I like Ticwatch products but the problem is they are on the old Snapdragon Wear2100 and it really starts to get old
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] borijess:
The 4G version with the extra ram is super smooth. I wouldn't go for the regular Ticwatch Pro.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] niyazidk:
I have galaxy watch. I don't get notifications some time. Even removing battery optimisation didn't help. But I like anyway this watch. Because imo it is one of the most beautiful watch out there.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] borijess:
I had a Galaxy watch and loved it. But the Ticwatch pro 4G with dual display is an absolute joy. I love being able to see the time at all times without touching watch. The essential watch face is something all watches should have.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] spaziomilano:
I love Ticwatch's products but I'm watching for the Galaxy active watch 2 which is on promo is there anyone there that has it and does it work well with the 7PRO?

I had a Fossil 4 and 5 gen on the 7pro and before a Galaxy Watch 46mm on the Note 9 (the Galaxy Watch was just awesome)
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] bzzybfrm313:
I have gear fit 2,Moto's 360 1st Gen , Galaxy watch, watch active, watch active 2,gear S2,Fitbit blaze,ticwatch E,amazfit bip all work wonderfully
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] spaziomilano:
lolll, no problem with anything on Galaxy active 2? Something special to do on oos on 7pro? For everything to work?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] bzzybfrm313:
Just the plug-in the app has you download:good:
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] usafle:
I've got the Huawei Classic 2 (or whatever it's called) and works fine with mine.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] Sobakel:
Watch active 2 works flawlessly with my 7 pro.

Battery life goes about 2 days with always on screen and constant stress/heart rate monitoring. So this would be max settings
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] spaziomilano:
she really looks good, I think I'll try it, it looks great!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] imax1995:
i suggest you to wait cause there are too rumours about a Oneplus Watch based on Wear OS with the launch of Oneplus 8/8 Pro

Luv my Galaxy LTE 44mm Watch... works great with 1+Pro
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] xxBrun0xx:
I run a gear S3 and it works great. Galaxy watch was the successor, but almost no difference. Certainly the best performance of any smart watch on the market (except apple watch). It's a little thick, but battery is excellent and it does everything you could every want your watch to do. Would definitely recommend!

I have a 1 year old, so the ability to take phone calls on the watch is great!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] AstroDigital:
Galaxy means loading Samsung Bloat. Will work best with Samsung devices only.

You will also not get Google Pay.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] bsorli:
After years of trying watches... (Samsung Galaxy and otherwise) I landed on the

Fossil Gen 5 Carlyle​

Keep in mind...the battery life can be terrible unless you set it to Power Management mode that turns off the display when not being used. This turns off the screen till you touch it for view, notifications and otherwise, and Notifications and messages still come in, but won't show on display till you tap the screen saving Power.

Not sure the mode I'm set to, but rather have my watch running for 12 to 14 hours then usual Android OS 6 hours with everything active.

Hope this helps, Sorli...
[General Questions and Answers] Abdies:
My younger brother bought this cheap Chinese mobile, Even I never heard of it before. On the box it says 16Gb Rom but it actually have 4gb Rom. I am trying to root it so he can use Link2Sd to install more apps to the Sd card, but II can't find any support post about the device anywhere.

It's running android 7.0 and has got Spd chip.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Can't expect much when you buy cheap, unknown crap. Devices like that are a waste of time and money because there is no software support for them and because those are not the kinds of devices that developers create anything for.

That's what you get for buying a cheap, unknown Chinese device expecting it to be a decently useable device, they are never worth it and developers don't buy them or waste their time to support them.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Is the device rooted? If not, link2sd isn't an option.
[Android Builders Collective] ProoN:
I've been using crDroid for a few years now -- it's my preferred ROM.

Someone recently ported it to work on the Pixel 2 XL, which is honestly the only reason I bought the phone. Well that and its bootloader was easily unlockable and is CDMA capable (Verizon.. sigh.)

However, regardless of how one goes about doing it, the wallpaper won't change. It's a bug within the ROM and I'm wondering how I might be able to fix it myself without having to wait for the original poster to release an update -- I've got a lot of free time and this kind of stuff genuinely interests me.

I've got (albeit basic) experience with python, perl, batch and shell scripting, pretty limited knowledge with C++ but am familiar with system architectures and such though have no knowledge of using java or porting apps, that kind of thing. I'm thinking this issue is just a problem with how the wallpaper's linked when selected.. or just a simple permission issue.

I've gone through the process of extracting the payload.bin and the image files within, looked through a few files and their contents (specifically for *wall*) but don't see anything promising. Anyone have any ideas who might be able to help a newbie with this stuff? I see a lot of posts on how to extract apk contents and recompile, that sort of thing. But I'm .. honestly not sure what I'm looking for, or whether it's an app-specific issue or a system issue, you know?

Kudos in advance.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] FxBigshot:
Hi Everyone,

I have a Redmi Note 8 since just 3 days, i have noticed that the stabilizer not working during recording a video.

Anyone has the same problem?

How can i fix this problem?
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] jc9896:
Restart your phone.

If that does not work, try clearing data of camera app in Settings > Manage apps > Camera > Clear data > Clear all data

or try Google Camera.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] FxBigshot:
Hi jc9896,

I have already tried to clear all data of the camera app but the problem not resolved.

I have tried Google Camera and the stabilizer working better with 60fps :good:

I hope that the next update bring 60fps support for the stock camera app.

Thank you jc9896 for your help :good:;)
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] jc9896:
odd issue with the camera, my stabilization working fine. maybe try recording a video with and without it enabled and see the difference, perhaps the stabilization is too minimal to be noticed.

60fps support in the stock camera app is also something I want :)

[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] the_weird_aquarian:
both of you try this:

In build.prop add the following line

persist.vendor.camera.eis.enabled=1

of course to edit build.prop you need root and to root you need to unock bootloader. :)
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] CruzeX:
They forgot to mention but the redmi note 8 supports video stabilisation only in 1080p in 30 fps. If you want to stabilise other quality footage, you will have to use a third party application.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT: I have merged all three threads so everyone can post their feedback to moderators. Please, no flaming allowed. If you want to say something, say it politely and like some members already mentioned, let's be one big happy family i.e. come together and make this place a friendlier and a peaceful place without the need to leave the forum, point fingers at anyone or flame someone. If you guys want something done, PM us or any mods your request or concerns. We'll see to it that it will done based on the subject on hand.

Everyone is Welcome here and I'd like to keep it that way. If your upset with something, come to us so we can come to an agreement because we want everyone to be happy and not otherwise.

Enjoy your stay here, not regret signing up because XDA is wonderful place for us to come share our thoughts, contribute to the community and obviously, make some good friends while we're here.

Thanks for your co-operation in this matter, guys.

Best Regards,

lukybandit
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
What happened? You planning on leaving XDA? I wouldn't want you to as you put in a lot of efforts in keepin the wiki up to date. Your the only one who ever took interest in it and without you, we wouldn't have had any updates on the wiki and because of you, It was easier to compile a thread and sticky it. So please re-consider your decision.

On a side note, if mods did edit your posts, they have full right to. I don't know why a mod edited your posts but if you did use profanity or do something else, we're given right to either delete or edit a post but if it keeps happening for no reason, then by all means - report it.

Hope you do re-consider your decision.
[HTC Excalibur] beartard:
No, I haven't reconsidered. Nor did I ask to be deleted to draw attention to myself. I would have done so quietly if the option were available.

But since it's out there ;)...I never saw anything in the posting rules about profanity. In fact, you, lukybandit, are fond of using some when you have problems (see the phantom alarm bug.) I did notice the posting rules calling this a "sacred place." If someone's words don't belong to him, there is no sanctity. In short, you all need to stop using the royal "we" a bit, coordinate your efforts better among yourselves, and stop creating problems where none exist. You're here to serve us, not the other way around.

My words are just that: MY words. If a mod has a problem with me or my speech, he should tell me, NOT edit my posts. I don't care if it's in your moderator handbook that you have the "right" to. Your right is wrong.

Power corrupts and I enjoy freedom. Please do me the honor of deleting my account.
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
Alright, now that you have infact pointed fingers at me - I'd like to make myself clear on this one. I just went through all my posts and the ONLY word I ever said was "Damn" - and you tell me I'm fond of using profanity? Good try but it's not going to work. Is saying "AHH and saying This is annoying" wrong? Please correct me if that were the case.

Power does corrupt but if there's power to remove people that flame others or use profanity, then that power is just - hence the word "Moderator". If you go to other forums, many senior mods delete and edit posts so as to keep this forum a clean, better place.

If someone's words that belong to him were allowed in every place, including sacred places - then I wonder how this world would be. You'd find people swearing in business meetings or insulting others in sacred places. Anyways, to cut it short -

Thanks for the wiki.

Your request will be fulfilled. However, I or the other mods don't have the right to delete you as only the Site Admin has the option of deleting you.

Last but not the least, Funny you mention we are creating problems when we're trying hard to collaborate and make this forum a much better place. Never did we intend to use the royal word "we" but hey, if you want to think like that, then all the POWER to you.

P.S: If you don't care if it's in the Moderator handbook, then we won't hesitate to remove you, either.

(On a personal note, I never thought problems existed. I don't know where I or any other mod went wrong because we tried to accommodate everyone's requests and keep everyone happy, but hey they say everything takes time and I guess it will take you time as well to understand that what "WE" do is only for the forums benefit and not trying to abuse the so - called "Power".)

Good Day.
[HTC Excalibur] beartard:
I didn't mention your posts to point fingers, but just by way of example.

Thought police often collaborate to make the world a better place. Where is this list of forbidden words? "Damn" and "hell" are ok, but a link to "justfuckinggoogleit.com" isn't? It's a real website, btw. Are certain words said in jest worse than paragraphs haranguing users saying they should die in a fire (sorry, gixxum...much respect to you). I think that was received with laughs by everyone.

When you guys got the moderator-ship, I was happy. I figured, "nice. Now a lot of duplicate posts will be cleaned up and things will be easier to find." Instead we finally had the iron curtain lowered on our very words and thoughts. Where do you draw the line?

Collaboration is a good thing. And I know you are all feeling good that you have been made moderators. The first sign that things were weird was when all three moderators came down on a newbie saying the same thing back-to-back. That was laughable, but I have to draw the line at changing my words.

I just can't see myself being a part of something like that. It's supposed to be a forum for adults to discuss their phones, not a Baptist children's summer camp.

Thank you for seeing that my request is fulfilled.
[HTC Excalibur] ghostwheel:
i have to say I agree with beatard

I totally agree that moderation power was abused.

The rule that was supposedly broken if I understand correctly is this:

And what was changed? The change that I saw was changing a link to "http://justfuckinggoogleit.com" to show the text "http://justfriggin(edited)googleit.com" but still link to the same site.

First of all, I think it is extremely bad form to claim to link to one site, and actually be a link to a different site. But that is beside the point.

beatard's post was quite within the rule stated above:

A very calm, useful, and even funny answer to the ethernal question "where do I find the ROMS?" Much better than some of the recent answers to "can I have this or that recent game", and much calmer. Notice that the edit done to the post did not at all change the "Stay cool"ness factor of the post. I do not think that the function of the moderators is "to wash the mouths of posters with soap". Instead I would think that they should quietly pm posters in borderline cases and intervene in extreme cases when pm did not help.

And finally, are you aware that by editing posts the site makes itself liable because of what is said, which is not the case when posts are not edited? See, e.g. http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/blogspotting/archives/2005/08/is_it_riskier_t.html

But, I want to thank all the moderators for the work that was done in the recent weeks - the forum did get much better! But we (I) would like to keep the forum a nice and happy place, and it is very obvious that you did manage to upset beatard (and me too, after I noticed what happened).
