[LG Velvet Questions & Answers] :
TLDR (?) Hey there. New to this thread but plenty of experience with Gcam variants and LG phones. I also happen to be a photographer! Anyways, don't expect magic out of the Velvet.... and it looks like support for this specific variant will be slow-but-steady. All things aside, I'm using the "GreatnessCam 2.1.1" found celsoazevedo's Gcam hub which is great once tweaked. The main camera's aperture means pretty damn decent low-light photography, especially when HDR+ is enabled. The ultra-wide angle's aperture is less narrow and the ISO sensitivity over-compensates which translates into terrible low-light photography in almost any setting. Of note, that Greatness variant will crash when ultra-wide angle is enabled in video mode, and Night Site isn't fully functional. Yet. I hope this helped a little, and if you (or anyone else) is curious about something more specific, please ask away.

Hey i have lg velvet (LM-G910EMW)

i tried many gcam versions but none of them working well all are laggy or can't open.

If Anyone find the stable version please let me know..
[LG Velvet Questions & Answers] neefrj:
Same phone here, and I've tried maybe a dozen different gcams. All laggy and not usable (?)

After many downloads I got one that seem to work properly, though not my favorite.

I'll attach a picture of it's version.
[LG Velvet Questions & Answers] KITPUNK:
Has anyone had success with a better camera app for the Velvet 5G? I see theres a bunch of modded gCam configs for a lot of the LG G series phones that improve them, not seeing anything really for the Velvet yet.
[LG Velvet Questions & Answers] gyhor3:
@KITPUNK

up there I posted a link. That version works fine with my lg velvet 5g
[LG Velvet Questions & Answers] KITPUNK:
Ok cool, stable enough? Do you find the quality is better than the stock app?

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] ToddCrimson:
Hi Experts,

I just bought an unlocked OnePlus 7 pro.

I confirmed that it is unlocked. If I go into settings, wi-fi & internet, Advance (Network Unlock) ==> It says the following "This mobile device is permanently unlocked and can be used with any carrier!".

So now, I turn on the developer mode, USB debugging, OEM Unlocking, and boot into Boot Loader mode.

In boot loader mode, I see at the bottom of the screen that it is locked.

Now I try the following command from my machine (connected via USB to the device) ==> "fastboot oem unlock"

I get the following error ==> "FAILED (remote: 'Please flash unlock token first.')"

So what am I doing wrong?

OR is it that even if it is SIM unlocked, I still need another UNLOCK for boot loader?

I saw the method to request it from T-Mobile via OnePlus website,

But my question is if it is already carrier unlocked, do I still need that "bin" file for boot loader unlock?

If that is true, then I suppose I have to request it, wait 7 days right?

Is there any way to do this, without this craziness?

[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] vessk0:
I'm gonna purchase this phone but need to know if you can zoom during video recording?

At basic 4K30 setting does it switch cameras/lenses when you use the zoom slider?

:confused:
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] Appelsap:
Short answer is: nope.

At 4K30, with the standard camera app, you can select one of three lenses: ultra wide (0.5x), standard (1x) or the zoom lens (5x). With each your then have the option to digitally zoom in during filming, with the ultra wide then ranging from 0.5 to 2x, with the standard going from 1x to 6x and with the zoom lens you start at 5x and can zoom in to 15x zoom max. A slider will be on screen to help you with that. It's all digital zoom, so don't expect picture quality to remain the same.

[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] vessk0:
This is bummer... Is it down to Xiaomi or it's the first phone with multiple cameras that can't switch on the fly during video recording ?!
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] AerationCheese:
OK that person is wrong. I zoom while recording all the time... I usually either use 720p to minimize file size or 4k60 for max quality. Maybe he's using the wrong mode.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] neverthemore:
My personal experience is exactly what Appelsap described. No way for me to switch cameras on the fly while recording video.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] vessk0:
What about other apps like FIlmic PRO - do you have access to the other cameras?
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] neverthemore:
In Filmic Pro I could only find the switch from back to front. Is there another way to access the other cameras?
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] Appelsap:
So you can zoom, but only digitally using the same lens. You can't switch lenses to zoom even more during filming. I tested the 4K30 as was asked, didn't try other formats (720p/HD/8K) but expect the same result even then. Main issue would be that switching lenses would be noticable in the resulting film. The lenses are in a slightly different position on the phone - they have to be next to each other rather than on top of each other :D , so whilst zooming in or out you'd see the camera shift suddenly to a slightly different position. I doubt other multi-lens phones can switch camera's during filming, you'd notice it then too - but do correct me when I'm wrong and tell me how the software then solves the suddenly shifted perspective (or not).
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] vessk0:
Every other multicamera phone (as far as I know) is using different cameras (lenses) while video recording. My most current phone is Find X2 Pro and it is using all of the cameras, however they are not enabled in Filmic Pro, in comparison OnePlus 8 PRO is enabled and all cameras can be used in Filmic Pro but this is different topic.

So basically this is first high end camera centric phone that is unusable in video recording, what a shame... I will cancel my purchase then.....

My Find X2 Pro is the best package overall but I'm missing the 2x telephoto camera as there is quite a gap between the 25mm main camera and 130mm 5x periscope one. :(
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] neverthemore:
It's not only the perspective. Different cameras have different aperture, meaning different exposure. So if you pay attention, you will notice that - it gets darker when the phone switches to 5x camera. Don't know what cameras and aperture have the other phones but I'm extremely interested in an example video zooming from UW all the way to periscope and producing usable picture quality in 4k.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] neverthemore:
Just wanted to let you know that on latest EU weekly, the switches cameras on fly during video recording 1800p.

I also confirm that the video produced is not the best quality as expected - changing the camera changes the exposure and focus too.

For 4k it doesn't switch cameras.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] Appelsap:
Just tried it, and you are so right. At 1080p it does switch lenses during zooming (in/out), which is very noticable in the result, so why you'd want that is beyond me really. But it is possible. I'd like to see another phone do this without changes to exposure and focus, that seems very unlikely to me.

[General Questions and Answers] Rufus0700:
Hello,

Is there a way to mount a android phone as harddisk?

I mean NOT as removable disk, I mean recognizing by pc as real harddisk like the

pc´s built in harddisk?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
No, I doubt it, but, there is an app called Drivedroid(and similar apps) that allow you to boot Windows or Linux on your PC directly from your android devices internal or external storage.
[General Questions and Answers] Rufus0700:
But theres no way to add those functions directly inside the android system?

I dont want to start a image of a operating system, I want to start a operating system over usb who is directly

installed on the phone micro sd card (Theres no image file, the files of the system are directly on the sd card)

Why it is so hard to change the normal mass storage mode of Android to a "Harddisk mass storge mode" that would be the easiest way?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Because, it would require formatting the device's storage in the same way that you would to create a bootable USB, that would make the storage no longer useable by the android system. In other words, you can't have it both ways where the android device can use the storage as mass storage AND at the same time use that same storage as a bootable drive.
[General Questions and Answers] Rufus0700:
My problem is, I would need a tool, or something, what mounts the android SD Card on the computer with flipped RMB (Removable media bit), so its mounted as harddisk, that would be all I would need, but that seems not possible on android. The RMB of the micro SD

card is not flippable, otherwise the micro SD would become a harddisk by itself, but to flip the bit in the micro sd card controller, we would need a MPtool for the micro sd card controller, and this tool has only the micro sd manufaturer. So I would need some rt of filtering app on the android who allows mounting the micro sd on the computer, but filters the rmb to tell the computer that the micro SD is a Harddrive, but that seems not possible?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Hard drives are not expensive, why not just buy a new hard drive?

The PC doesn't access the device's storage directly, it has to communicate with the storage through the device's hardware(CPU) and the device has to be powered on or the PC can't do anything with the storage, that is the roadblock that you aren't going to get past because hard drives do not work the same way. It is just a completely different animal than a hard drive or a typical USB drive. You are probably wasting your time, find a different solution because this one doesn't have much chance of working, whether you choose to accept that or not.

I could be wrong, but, I don't think that is the case.

THIS IS A T95 H616 DUAL BAND MODEL.

As is obvious by now, this box is known for Google Play issues. My box did come with regular Google Play Store as opposed to the TV version but it down right refuses to update to the latest version and if I try to install via APK I always get 'App not installed'. Since the device does have ROOT out of the box I took the opportunity to make things a bit more useable in that department by installing Magisk, and I have been able to manually update the Play Store to the latest version and it works just fine but I don't want to have to do it this way every time. The box can live with the Play Store being completely uninstalled using this method and I thought I'd try installing from scratch. Nope. It still gives me 'App not installed'. I've even tried manually creating the folders and moving the APK to /data/app/, setting the relevant permissions and ownership but still this was a no-go as when I restarted the device every change I'd made in there had been cleared. What else can I try?
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] 3mel:
android 10 doesn't let you modify the system partition period. the only ways to modify it are via magisk modules, flashing the whole rom with your mods included or maybe via TWRP (which we don't have).

I've noticed on this box that it doesn't like having it's system apps removed either, others have said the changes won't stick or you'll get a bootloop. freezing system apps does work however, I was able to freeze the ATV YouTube and install Vanced.

on the play store front I've not had too many problems other than paid apps not showing as paid for about 24 hours after a factory reset. I haven't checked what version it was on or whether it was latest, I'll go and look now.

Play Store Version

19.4.18-all [0] [PR] 304011342
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] simonjonnemeth:
It has actually been pretty bulletproof for me with regards to that. I am able to mount the system partition as R/W and swap out the Play Store APK with the latest version and set all the permissions and everything and it works just fine. It's just not an ideal way of doing things. What would cause this? All other APKs install and update just fine. The paid app thing happens only because the Play Store is out of date. Every BETA I am subscribed to is also stuck on 'Removing you from the beta'.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] 3mel:
from the little I've read the makers of these boxes don't intend to do any maintenance or updates on their boxes, next year they'll bring out android 11 boxes that'll stay as they are more or less.

I haven't messed around with the two update apps don't want to start again from scratch. I'm thinking maybe one of them covers the play store.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] simonjonnemeth:
Update apps? Play Store is supposed to update its self but it can't. Can't update via APK, can't install from scratch via APK, 'App not installed', 'Update failed' etc. There is a serious issue with the FW here and it doesn't affect a single other of my Android 10 devices. If you mean Aptoide and APKPure, they just download and execute APK files. Same results.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] 3mel:
was thinking about the Local Update and Wireless update apps in the app draw, they can't both for firmware.

I think this is safe to call a forked version of Android, it's pretty much locked down to the way the want it, maybe they never intended the store to be updated independently of the whole rom.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] simonjonnemeth:
Oh I see. Wireless update is essentially System Update. I'm not sure about the other. Perhaps it's like the old Backup & Restore thing the old boxes had that you needed to boot in to TWRP. I've only ever re-flashed it via PhoenixSuit and PhoenixCard.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] Rondeau79:
I recently purchased the Pendoo T95 all winner box. I can download Pluto Tv via play store but it will not open.

"Apk is not compatible with this version please download appropriate one from the Play store"

This app was downloaded from the Play Store.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] 3mel:
try looking on APK mirror if it's a free app. maybe an older version will get you started. always compare file sizes with files from playstore just to be safe.

[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] knitler:
I've seen some people mention Cross Flashing. I assume they mean running an EU ROM on an IN phone. I've not really rooted/rommed a phone in about 4+yrs so I'm a bit behind the times.

If so, I have a couple questions:

What's the benefits from this?

What's the draw backs?

Would there be any issue if OP sent out more updates? Would they install fine?

What's a good guide to follow to do the process?

Thanks!
[Android Auto General] mikiek12345:
I've emailed OnePlus support several times and they do not answer, so I'm hoping someone here can help me.

My old phone (Galaxy S7) worked perfectly with Ford Sync 3, so it's not the car or a Sync3 issue. Both my phone and Sync 3 are fully updated.

With my OnePlus 7T, I cannot get Android Auto to work. The connection drops out (anywhere from 1 second to 1 minute).

On Sync3, you have to use USB tethering. OnePlus cable is being used, and several high quality and short length generic USB cables have been tested with the same issue.

When you plug in the USB cable, it opens Android Auto, but it always drops out. When opening USB preference and selecting anything other than "No Data Transfer", Android Auto drops out.

I've set Bluetooth tethering on and the default USB preferences to "File Transfer" (settings/system/developer options/default USB configuration).

I've done a factory reset with no backup transferred to my phone, and a factory reset on Sync 3. The same issues continue and I cannot use Android Auto for more than a few seconds before it drops out. When it does this, the Sync 3 doesn't show Android Auto options to open, and my phone still has Android Auto running.

The problem is caused by the phone (One Plus 7T) defaulting my USB connection to "No data Transfer" even though I have it defaulted to "File Transfer". If I try to change it back to "File Transfer", it opens Android Auto for a second, and then drops out again, resetting it to "No Data Transfer". I can do this multiple times and every time it reset to "No Data Transfer".

How do I stop this and force it to stay on "File Transfer" so Android Auto can communicate with my phone?
[Android Auto General] XlAfbk:
In Developer Settings you can change the default USB mode. On my old car (Audi A4) I didn't have to change that, "Charge Only" was ok. But on my new car (Skoda Octavia) it has to be set (and sometimes the phone also needs to be unlocked to start the connection).
[Android Auto General] mikiek12345:
Thank you for responding. I have set the default USB to "File Transfer" in the developer settings, and I have connected the phone with the screen locked and unlocked, many times in testing this. It doesn't make any difference. Android Auto opens for a few seconds and then drops out again. When checking the USB settings (from the drop-down menu at the top) it defaults back to "No data Transfer". If I change it to "File Transfer" it opens Android Auto again, and within a few seconds drops out again, resetting the USB preference to "No Data Transfer". If I keep trying it's a continuous loop of the phone resetting to "No Data Transfer" and Android Auto drops out (due to no data being allowed to transfer).

This is so frustrating!
[Android Auto General] XlAfbk:
But it's normal to be switched to no once AA is connected. Ny switching it back you're forcing a reconnect, not a connect

Hi all,

Just upgraded from my O2 XDA IIi to the XDA Stellar. On my XDA IIi, I would perform a corporate install which would not install the O2 rubbish and make the device run faster. I'm not sure how I do this on the stellar.

Also, I'm looking for suggestions from gurus out here on how to ideally setup the phone so I can set it up and do a sprite backup (this used to work fine on my IIi). Any tweaks to make my stellar run faster? :confused:

I plan to install the software list as listed below, please give me your suggestions

Ilium Software eWallet v5

Ilium Software List Pro v5

SPB Pocket Plus v4.0.2

Pocket Breeze

Pocket Informant

TomTom Navigator v7

Lexisgoo Dictionary

Omega One Journal Bar (Recent reviews seem to be bad for this)

Pocket Controller v6

Opera browser

SPB GPRS Monitor

Sprite Backup (Or should I try SPB backup?)

Phone Dashboard

Resco File Explorer

Skype

SPB Mobile Shell

Pocket Mirror :confused: (Not sure if this adds any value over Active Sync)

Perhaps install some simple games like minesweeper etc.

I find it very difficult to use the case that comes supplied with the stellar, so I've decided to go in for the Crystal Case (http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/16042.htm). Any one has any experience with this case? I need all round protection for my phone, my one year old has a great fascination for phones. And try as I might her sneaky fingers do get to it sometimes and my XDA IIi has ended up on he floor (which has given it a crack or two :rolleyes:). Is it possible to attach this case to the belt with a belt clip?

Also plan to get the Sandisc 8GB SDHC card which should give me plenty of storage for my videos, music and TomTom European maps.

Any other accessories I should be looking at?

Sorry for the long post, just some useful tips from gurus here to get me started on setting up my stellar :) I love it so far
