UPDATE:

temblor55 has made a Magisk patch for this problem, which he posted on 18 september::

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-3y1CR6nfVhFYf9VpE11FXOmDEQl5VMt/view

Pat57 has confirmed that it works for him.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I have a RN8 from 11-2020 board ID 3.29

Instead of the usual Omnivision OV13855 frontcam, there is a new version OV13B10 inside.

This camera sensor is also installed in later Redmi phones

This new version works OK with Miui 11.0.11 -A9, and higher

Custom A11 rom's will problably work also all with this frontcam (I tried CrDroid 7.4 -A11 with succes)

But I can't find a custom A10 rom that can connect to this frontcam.

Always get the message "can not connect to camera"

Because of speed, stability and more development, I prefer a A10 custom rom (Resurrection Remix)

I think it isn't the Xiaomi FW, so maybe it could be the kernel.

I have tried the updated 2021 -A10 roms and A10 kernels without succes.

So problably it is about missing libs inside rom.

Is there a way to find these libs in a A11 custom rom or Miui rom and add them inside A10 rom?

I don't want to deep dig in it, because A11 will be the future solution.

But development on A11 rom's is fast ongoing, so there are bugs which some are irritating.

So if someone could give a direction, I will be thankfull
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] loopypalm:
I had similar problem, but i don't think it's not from the libs, it's a "persist" thing

restore "persistbak" and flash it (or if you already have a recovery backup of persist just restore it)
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Elinx:
No, I think it has nothing to do with the persist partition.

Because I have flashed several different rom's and kernels and found that only Miui and A11 custom does recognize the selfiecam

If the persist partition was corrupted, this wasn't possible.

Because FW is from Miui, it could be the kernel or rom.

A lot of A10 custom roms are EOL, they are build with the original early hardware drivers/libs

From 11-2020 PCB-ID 3.29 the camsensor is changed and the RN8 was also almost EOL.

In september 2020 the first A11 build came out and at the end of 2020 more and more builds.

So I assume most developers don't even think about updating the kernel or libs on their "old" A10 versions.

Inside the screenshots of the app "Device info HW" you see the 19 supported cams of CrDroid 7.4 and only 17 on RR 8.6.7
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] loopypalm:
yes, on paper the problem sounds like it has nothing to do with persist

but as stupid as it sound ,it just worked ! (restoring persist) + latest stable A10 fw

devs didn't update the port because it just worked, and i heard it's a hard thing to mess with ...
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Elinx:
For who has worked this? Have you one or more links to it?

I had read already the guides for restoring, but because all sensors does work I'm a bit holding back.

I like to read first some experiences with this, before I touch the persist partition.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] loopypalm:
link to what ?

i had similar problem on my 128 variant and asked help in RR TG group (group is deleted by rodrigo) rr official dev is always offline, so rr users moved to milestone by zhan (which is miles better)

"all sensor work fine except camera"

nobody have idea and no dev support, so i try lot of things

and flashing latest A10 fw and restore persistbak + clean flash of RRos + 16 kernel are the last things i did and it worked

if you have orangfox do a backup of persist ,so if anything goes wrong you can just restore it
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Elinx:
Ok I will try after backup

Which RN8 batch have you? Which camera didn't work?
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] loopypalm:
what do you mean by batch ? i have ginkgo 6/128

the error was "can't connect to camera" (i guess,both front and back since i can't do anything while that error is apearing)
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Elinx:
The batch date 11-2020 is the phone with problems.

First the problem with FW 12.01. This is the only phone that can't be flashed with that version. If you did with twrp, you had a brick.

Second the HW change of the selficam. I have seen I'm not the only one with Andoid Q "not connecting" to this specific cam.

On LOS 17 topic a saw there is a formel bug report published about this issue

I can use all other cams without problems. The error is only with selfiecam and A10. Not with Miui and not with A11.

That is why I think of a missing driver.

I read something about adding missing drivers, but think it isn't easy.

Also I understand that the vendor image contains the hardware drivers.

So trying kernels only hasn't influence on HW changes

I can imagine that A11 custom uses also later vendor images, that's why these roms work with selficam.

Next question would be.

Are vendor images for Ginkgo intechangable?
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] loopypalm:
have you tried A10 latest stable FW ? (it has updated drivers in it)

as far as i tested(A10), they are all almost the same, except for some roms have some carrier overlays and BT in it and other have them in system

also audio mods and enhancement, some roms have it and other don't
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Elinx:
Yes I have the latest stable FW. First I thought that these contains the HW drivers.

But reading, I learned that with latest Android versions all drivers are inside vendor image.

That is why updating FW and kernel doesn't make any difference for RR.

Because of all brick/EDL troubles I'm being carefull what I flash.

I have made for now a twrp backup of vendor and efs partition.

The persist parttion must be backup with adb or terminal

My phone is still an empty phone so I can format data and so on.

I saw that Miui vendor files are downloadable.

The latest Global is 11.0.11
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] loopypalm:
use also recovery (you never know) ...

before changing system try RR with A11 vendor just to make sure :unsure:

(i did that between 2 A10 roms and it worked,but A11 = not tested)

you can wipe everything and flash rr since your data is not important
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Elinx:
Dit you flash the complete vendor.img from another A10 rom?

or replaced the 3 vendor files inside the rom's?
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] loopypalm:
i flashed a rom (Don't remember the name) and i did a mess in vendor ,so instead of reflashing, i restored a recovery backup of vendor of an older rom (AEX) that was on my SD

of course error like app x stopped working popped off,so this is not a fix

this is just a crazy suggestion to test the compatibility of the drivers

also test this cam :

𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕷𝖚𝖓𝖆𝖙𝖎𝖈 🧐 in Dtuxed Roms Public Group

t.me

it has updated libs

maybe it will work
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Elinx:
Ok you flashed vendor.img with twrp

The download link is Miui camera.

There where no HW drivers inside

I already found also such a zip with libs, but without result

It is for improving camera results
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] loopypalm:
i made a mistake in the zip

the cam that i wanted to give you is in the same group

i will see if i can find it

We either discover something, discover nothing, or get sucked into a black hole and we don't have to worry about life.

Fact of the matter is there are more energetic collisions on a DAILY basis in our own atmosphere and has the Earth been destroyed? no.

And also look up Hawking Radiation you be surprised what the result would be even if a microscopic black hole was created ;)

to find the god particle, called the higgs boson.

to put it in perspective, imagine a big explosion. All the matter gets shot outwards. but according to the "every action has an equal and opposite reaction" theory, there must be the same amount of energy going inwards too. They're trying to find where that energy is going and what it is basically.

just google it lol

They are doing fundamental research into why the universe is as it is today, so that they can have a good understanding of how it works. With this understanding they should be able to do things which seems unimaginable now.

To bring it home to a practical example relevant to XDA - before TouchFlo3D was understood we could only change the pictures and modify the skins, which was nice, but once TouchFLo3D was fully understood we could make out own tabs which is obviously much more useful.

Imagine now we can generate electricity using nuclear fission, but with a full understanding of particle physics was can stick a Mr Fusion in our cars :)

Probably read about it in The Sun (no pun intended, its a UK tabliod) which has the front page headline of something like will the world end today, when in fact nothing will even happen until october.

And very good thought about hawking radiation, I didn't know that, but just sort of accepted that micro black holes just disappeared (silly me to just accept something)

From Engadget RSS feed:

Hackers hit LHC computer system, deemed "scary experience"

by Donald Melanson, posted Sep 12th 2008 at 4:43PM

Those already fearful of the Large Hadron Collider's potential Earth-ending capabilities may want to turn away for this one, as it looks like the situation has managed to get a bit more perilous, with a team of hackers apparently successful in mounting an attack on a system that is "one step away" from the computer system that controls of one of the LHC's massive detectors. According to The Telegraph newspaper, the group, calling itself the "Greek Security Team," left behind a half a dozen files on the system and damaged one CERN file, in addition to displaying the page above on the cmsmon.cern.ch website, which still remained inaccessible as of Friday. Somewhat disconcertingly, one of the scientists working at CERN simply described the incident as a "scary experience," with a CERN spokesperson further adding that they thought it was just someone "making the point that [the system] was hackable." Um, okaaaay.
[Off-topic] DaveShaw:
Why not?

Don't you know all LHC's have internet facing control panels. :D

[Off-topic] rorydaredkign:
one step away from the detactors

so surely they tried to get to them and failed

plus, the detectors do exactly that, detect, they dont control it

Hey guys, got a Samsung S8 and its a KOR model, running a KOR firmware from a carrier called KT MOBILE.

Its has heaps of crap on it in terms of settings, apps and a lame ass KT splash screen.

I have re-flashed the stock ROM, but all this stuff is still there leading me to believe that it is built into the ROM.

My questions is, am I able to find and flash a not KT MOBILE version of firmware.

Thanks!

Hi, my Vivo V11i shutdown when opening games and camera. This happen after the OTA update version 8.8.14.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] ElDioni12:
Hello, my first post here. I have a Redmi note 5 that suddenly wouldn't turn on. I thought it might be the battery, so I replaced it. The phone would turn on but when it came to charging, it would charge for a few seconds and then stop charging. So I thought it might be a problem with the charging base, so I bought a new one (https://www.amazon.es/MM-Mobitec-Placa-Xiaomi-Redmi-Puerto/dp/B07GWH9F4W). I installed it in the phone... But it didn't work.Thinking that it could be a software problem, I changed the ROM (from MIUI to AOSP). When I connect the charger it says that it is "charging slowly" and keeps disconnecting after a while. Any ideas and solutions?

Dust in the micro usb port, cable and or charger is maybe the problem
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] ElDioni12:
Thank you for your response. It is none of those 3 things. I have tried 3 different chargers and cables and replaced the micro usb part with a new one (link). It doesn't charge at all but I have noticed that when the battery reaches 0%, if I put it to charge it charges "normal" up to about 80% (with the phone off).

[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] BurroBlanco:
Hello at XDA forums.

Looking for a good daily rom, that also activates use of external mic, not headset, but actual external mic through USB cable.

Need it for work in the field to record interviews and such, and would preffer not having to get a newer model phone.

Tried searching different sites, threads and roms, but dont find any that specifies activating use of external mic.

I think it is only the usb driver in the p20 lite, so it shouldnt be that big of an issue, but who knows :).

Thanks in advance
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
It depends on stock hardware. Try to activate ext. mic. using this Camera
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] BurroBlanco:
thanks for your reply!.

I know the p20 lite allegedly does not support ext mic, if i ask huawei thats the answer.

But that does not mean it could not work with flashing another rom into it.

They say it only supports basic mic through mini jack / supported headsets.

I am looking to use a propper mic through usb connection, to record VO, interviews and such.

Can i try this Camera download without rooting it ?.
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] BurroBlanco:
Installed it and will try with external mic attached later on tight and report back with findings, thanks.

Hi,

maybe stupid question, but..... ;)

is it possible to flash official software from note 9 to our note 8 with odin?

or its not possible or that destroy the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] stonedpsycho:
Different SOC and hardware so no, at best Odin would just fail, or it could brick your phone.

However, developer Corsicanu has ported note 9 filmware for our note 8, still has some bugs so I would wait for V2 which will hopefully be released soon. (Hades Rom Q btw)
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] jwarrior319:
Anybody think we'll get some kind of update pushed out allowing us to unlock our bootloader now that lg wont be making phones anymore?
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] babyarm85:
I'm honestly surprised no one has chimed in. At all. These are some great phones. Being able to root and customize would make this phone a ton better. But I don't think lg cares at all.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Mejilan:
I wouldn't count on it, personally. I'm frankly surprised that they've committed to 2-3 major OS upgrades (or as many years of support) for their post-2019 flagships as is, like our V60. I think that, beyond I suppose a renewed focus on their software update department, they're just going to completely wash their hands with mobile. And I still think they'll ultimately fail us on that promise of 2 to 3 years of software support. With no more active R&D and development on new devices and their software, we can probably completely rule out refreshed UIs and just expect bi-monthly security updates, maybe Android 12 on our V60s, and perhaps Android 13 on the Wings and Velvets. If that. I'm still extremely skeptical.

Edit - Edited to fix the supposed final Android versions for the V60s, Velvets, Wings, etc.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] jwarrior319:
We do hace android 11 for V60, at least TMobile model. I wouldnt bet on A12 though. They should release bootloader code and what not though so we can at least get a bootloader unlock and aim for custom roms and such. Just because there backing out of the smartphone business now dosent mean there isnt a chance for comeback later. If they just screw everyone completely right now there not only ruining chances of a future comeback but also ruining there already bad name.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Mejilan:
Yeah, I'm on AT&T and got A11 a couple of updates back. I too would be shocked to get A12 as well, though it sounds like they're at least planning on supporting the V60 that long. They have no real interest in catering to folks who jailbreak or root, as that makes up an infinitesimally small part of their potential demographic. In other words, catering to folks like us that post to forums like this isn't going to be any kind of factor for them in the short-term or long-term future, IMO. We are not the audience that makes or breaks their mobile business, and we never will be. As for the post you quoted, I meant to say "maybe Android 12 on our V60s, and Android 13 on the Velvets and Wings." (stress on the "maybe). I'll fix that post.

Hi everybody!

I'm trying to wipe the system partition on my redmi note 9 pro to install a costum rom ( Pixel Experience).

However I'm just not able to do that because there just isn't the option: when I try to wipe all data there isn't the system partition.

I tried both with Twrp and Orange Fox.

the error I encounter is unable to update logical partition "/system_ext".
