UPDATE 2022.02.26_GCam 8.1

This 8.1 version of Gcam works very well out of the box (aux cameras, video. Night mode etc etc)

Arnova8G2: Gcam-8.1.101.build-V6.2.211013

Download Gcam-8.1.101.build-V6.2.211013 by Arnova8G2.

www.celsoazevedo.com

The app crashes only in video rallenty mode.

I changed the 7.4 version below with 8.1 above.

Hi guys, I tried a lot of gcams, finally I found one that works well with 99% of features.

https://1-dontsharethislink.celsoazevedo.com/file/filesc/NGCam_7.4.104-v2.0_eng.apk

I attach the config file by myself.

Only bug is video recording with aux cameras.

If someone found a better setting or a better combo (gcam+setting), please reply to this post
[Sony Xperia 10 III] svetius:
Does it make the camera better?
[Sony Xperia 10 III] alonzimanuel:
yes, really better. With the HDR+ Auto (non advanced), shots are also more quick than stock (that is really slow to be honest). The overall quality is very better, and night mode, potrait mode, astrography etc etc are a considerable plus. This are two shots made during this reply. IMG file is the Gcam, DCIM is Sony (1x cam, no adjustment, all auto).
[Sony Xperia 10 III] HIXPERIA:
the right one is with Gcam?
[Sony Xperia 10 III] alonzimanuel:
yes, but this is only an example. In outdoor or dark conditions there is a lot of difference.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] bimjunk:
Video works for me for all 3 cameras. I didn't install the config though, just went to settings -> Advanced -> Auxiliary cameras -> added 3 cameras and assigned appropriate samsung tree icons . After initial crash, it's working fine
[Sony Xperia 10 III] alonzimanuel:
Well! The aux not working in video in original post was because I had the video stabilization on. Talking about photos, have you seen any colour balance difference between the cameras?
[Sony Xperia 10 III] bimjunk:
Yes, and focus goes in and out...stock camera focussing is spot on, for now, using the stock
[Sony Xperia 10 III] alonzimanuel:
The focus is good for me, better than stock, expecially in LL condition. Try my config disabling video stab.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] farukr1:
I'm seriously considering getting this phone. Can anybody post more samples from GCam?
[Sony Xperia 10 III] code010101:
Hello, are you able to shot in RAW mode? That is Raw+Jpg?

thanks!
[Sony Xperia 10 III] alonzimanuel:
Yes, you can shot in raw+jpeg
[Sony Xperia 10 III] alonzimanuel:
I upload the last config file:

-the video stab. Is disabled because video capture with aux freeze the app.

-every gcam 7 feature is working well

-colors are quite different switching cameras, I suppose there's a little settings to do well. But this difference is already present in the stock camera app.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] code010101:
You are right, it just saves the RAW files in a different folder (Picture\RAW), that's why I wasn't able to see them!

Do you know if it's possible to save them in the same folder of the JPGs?
[Sony Xperia 10 III] alonzimanuel:
No I don't know, I just haven't this kind of need yet.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] holden69:
A little bit offtopic because I did not try GCam yet, but my 10iii arrived yesterday and the pictures (same objects, auto-mode, sony app & opencamera) are im comparison to my 4 year old XZ1c smaller in resolution and size (1,4mb vs 5,8mb) and quality almost as bad as the xz1c. Highest resolution I can set is 12MP in the settings. Are there any settings I have overseen? Or do I have to send it back and buy the Zenfone 8 although I loved Xperia phones since years?
[Sony Xperia 10 III] alonzimanuel:
I bought this phone at launch. And I will never change with a zenphone 8. I'm very happy with this phone and every update Sony made has solved a problem. I love it. So to come back on topic try the gcam in this post with the last setting.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] holden69:
Thanks, I just tried your GCam with the latest xml. Might be the best app for 10iii, shutter is quicker than stock, white balance and colors as well, but still the results are awful for a phone from 2021 if you compare it to the xz1c-pictures attached. I don't get it why Sony builts really good cameras (I'm on Canon, but anyway..) and the ones in their phones are bad. After 11 years Xperia-phones I'll go for the Zenfone now :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia 10 III] pernor998:
Thanks a bunch for the all done config, but it was not obvious how to import it.

See https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/settings09/ and follow instructions for GCam 7.x

Welcome to XDA 🤗

Truth? Recall what Obi-Wan Kenob had to say about that. Much of the truth is prospective and time sensitive.

Androids are generally very stable and secure devices unless you do something stupid.

Always keep email in the cloud ie Gmail.

Never download anything without vetting it, online Virustotal is useful for that. Never sideload apps without vetting. Keep an eye on the download folder for items you didn't download or strange behavior. If you suspect malware either find/delete it or do factory reset that day*.

Avoid trash/invasive apps like FB, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, instagram, shopping apps etc. They don't need to be running on your device.

*Always backup your critical data redundantly. If you have a SD card use that as a data drive. Back up your critical data to at least 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each as well as your PC. Store one hdd away from the other preferably in a earth grounded metal box so one near lightning strike (or fire) can't wipe out everything.

All the data you need for a full reload/restore should be saved on the backups aside from minor settings. A flash stick can be used for quick "dirty" backups but the primary backups should be hdds. Best to time stagger the hdd backups so that no matter what you have at least one good copy even if everything isn't on it.

Developer a comprehensive plan for reloading so everything is there when you need it. Do not encrypt backup hdd data.

Eventually you will need those backups or you will lose data.

I would like guidance on how to get my htc touch from a french menu, to greek! HELP.....
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] cloves:
Hi all, forgot to charge my HTC 10 last night and it went dead. I always take care of my battery this is the first time I have had this happen. I even run battery limiter and max 80% charge the phone. Anyways so I charged it for 10 minutes or so and tried to boot and was just stuck in bootloop. If I keep the phone charging it just keeps restarting and not getting past the HTC logo and red letters. If I hold down both volume buttons I can get the white menu that shows reboot, reboot to bootloader, download mode, recovery mode ddr test, ddr test looping, power down.

My phone is rooted and I had TWRP on there, If I pick any option from above on the white screen back to bootloop. No clue what happened. I also noticed that one the white screen it says software status official not sure if that was like that before.

I tried connected to the PC, and while I hear the windows 10 ding, when I run adb and check for devices I get nothing.

I also tried holding down all 3 buttons to reset the battery, all that I get is rebooting multiple times every 15 seconds or so. When I plug my charge cord in (also used another one just in case), the orange charge light does not come on either.

Any thoughts or ideas would be much appreciated.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] LR7875:
Fastboot works ? If yes then you can at least backup or even flash another rom
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] cloves:
So I was able to connect the phone to the pc and I tried to flash the stock oreo .ruu and I am getting a less then 30% battery message. I can't believe the battery on the phone just fully died out of the blue like this. I haven't had any battery issues at all. Going to put in a new battery this weekend.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] cloves:
So I spent about 3hr putting a new battery into the phone, what a nightmare. Booted up same issue boot loop. When hooking up to the PC to try and flash the ruu I am getting the less then 30% message.

Anyone have any idea or other solution to try and get this phone working again?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] LR7875:
Hmmm seems like hardware failure.

TWRP hardly works, android does not boot, phone does not charge, as the worst case, it seems your EMMC storage chip is sadly, broken.

Have you tried clicking 'flash' in twrp? Will it crash? If clicking 'flash' works please send me the size of 'internal storage', and if it is 0, say goodbye to your phone.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] cloves:
My phone is S-off (via sunshine) and unlocked. I had TWRP 3.2 something ircc. But I cant' get into twrp. I am going to try to flash the stock image via the zip file on sd method and report back.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] cloves:
Well that didn't work. Is it common for the EMMC storage chip to go bad on these phones? I have taken such good care of this thing too.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] LR7875:
IDK about HTC, but as far as I know, tens, if not hundreds or thousands, of galaxy S3 phones, had their EMMC dead and no one say they were abused. So EMMC dying on a phone is extremely rare, but not impossible.

Have you tried EDL (emergency download mode)?

And can you send me what failed when flashing update.zip?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] cloves:
Hi LR, never heard of EDL for HTC phones, interesting. So via adb I was able to at least get something going. I can see the phone if ID if I type fastboot devices. I was roughly following this xda link

Then I took the .img files from 3.16.617.2_FULL-WIPE_firmware folder I downloaded and put them into my adb folder, and I was able to at least flash two things. Using the fastboot command in adb I used "fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img" and got OKAY also got OKAY from "fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img"

Still bootlooping. Only screen I have access to is that white screen mentioned earlier.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] LR7875:
What if you flash TWRP as recovery and fastboot reboot recovery?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] cloves:
Thanks for the suggestion. I am going to have to read up on that this week. With twrp ircc I have to get it on zip and then put on the sd card and then try to flash via cmd correct? I originally had twrp on my phone before it stopped working.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] LR7875:
you mean adb sideload?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] cloves:
Hi LR, so I did somewhere work this weekend combing the forums. One option I came across since I have fastboot commands working is to use fastboot to flash the RUU but I can't make it work.

Thread location: At the end of the thread its not very clear, seemed it worked for at least one person

https://xdaforums.com/t/i-cant-acce...nt-flash-ruu-dont-charge-brick-phone.3626192/

I was able to run the following commands successfully "fastboot getvar all" and could see basic phone info.

Then ran "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-3_CPTB-20180307-01-pme.img"

that worked:

Sending 'recovery' (56384 KB) OKAY [ 1.489s]

Writing 'recovery' OKAY [ 0.850s]

Thread mentions this:

RUU_Decrypt_Tool RUU.zip

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash hosd hosd_signed.img from Decrypt Folder

I downloaded the tool and decrypted the RUU. I was able to flash "fastboot flash hosd hosd_signed.img"

after that in the fastboot white menu I clicked down to reboot into recovery and still bootloop.

Seems this is a common issue on these phones if the battery is run down to zero. XDA search function leaves a lot to be desired. Most of my finds have been via google and still none of the finds have final results :(

Hi guys, I need help with this model android 10. I'm trying to install a car launcher but I can't put it on default. After pressing the home button returns to the stock launcher. I have no option in the settings to be able to choose default launcher. I spoke to the seller and he said I can't set another launcher than the stock one. Is it possible to switch to another ROM? Can you do root to it? Or is a firmware found for this model? Thanks

[Android Head-Units] Defenders_FIN:
Same problem here. The android version of Kingo Root was unable to root. The launcher cannot be replaced, nor can those already installed be removed. The device itself is ok, but you should get rid of that installed program/launcher/what ever. I would almost also argue that that is NOT an android 10 version, but something completely different.

Have you been able to find a solution for this? Bought the same unit and now I regret because of the nooby stock firmware. The device is pretty good for its specs, but can't do anything but the very basic with this firmware and I am pretty sure I tried everything to shut the default launcher off..

Here, if someone need:

Factory Settings Code: 8888

After reset hardware buttons from head unit must be reassigned. This is done by launching "Panel Study" in car's app under factory settings.

Maybe menu key can assigned to GPS then select launcher as navi app, found till now no other way. Does anyone has short audio dropouts while playing music from usb too?

Android phones are extremely secure in terms of who can control it. As long as you don't overrule Android's default security mechanisms no externals can take control over your Android phone.
[General Questions and Answers] Longhorn22:
Well default security has been defeated and I'm pretty sure has been rooted. I've gone thru 60 phones and various carriers since Dec on the last 10 phones when I tried hard reset they either crashed completely or the recovery was completely missing.

= Widevine L1 patch for Mi 9T / Mi 9T Pro and others devices ==

Huge thanks to:

@Benfatica (found how to easily get L1 back - v1 patch),

@sauliiin (created the TWRP zip file - v1 patch),

@robi10101298 (shared files to make v2 patch for Mi 9T) and

@r4yv3n (shared files to make v2 patch for Mi 9T Pro)

from XDA forum!

Your device must have stock Widevine L1, otherwise it will not work...

INFO: Widevine L1 is back in 20.1.21 update without patch!

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

Use Official TWRP to avoid possible big issues!

1) Download one patch and put this file in root of your phone's storage.

2) Boot to TWRP Recovery.

3) Go to "Mount" menu and tick "Vendor", then "Back".

4) Go to "Install" menu and find & select your previously downloaded zip file.

5) Do NOT tick "Reboot after installation" option!

6) Flash it.

7) After flashing, click on "Wipe Dalvik&Cache" button and do the wipe.

8) Reboot and check if it works!

INFO:

- v2 = API version update (14 -> 15) for Mi 9T and Mi 9T Pro devices only!

- In case of issue, try first version too (don't forget to follow the steps above!).

- If nothing working (don't forget to mount "Vendor" partition in TWRP before flasing the remover) => TWRP_Widevine_L1_Remover.zip

[POCO M2 Pro Questions & Answers] svetius:
It depends on your device. One way to go back to default is to search settings for "zoom" and make display zoom normal or default, that will automatically reset the value in developer mode.

Or, try a value like 384, just a guess
[Device Repair] KiraTM:
Hello!

I kind of "bricked" my tablet. Yesterday I wanted to try Ubuntu touch, installed it trough UBports, everything was easy. After some testing, I decided to go back to Android. The official website of by was shut down, bq doesn't exist anymore. I remember downloading Android images on their website years ago.

However, I was searching the web for copies of Android ROMs for this tablet and found two, one from 2016 (probably Android 5.1) and one from 2018 (Android 6.0, I guess).

I used the SP Flash Tool to flash the ROM onto the tablet. This process takes about three minutes and seems to work fine, I get the green check mark in the end. However, after flashing, the tablet turns on but stays in a blackscreen. First I thought it was bricked now, actually the Android system gets installed! After about ten minutes I can turn off the screen by pressing the Power button - and hear the lock sound! So it pretty much seems like the system gets installed successfully but maybe the screen driver doesn't work?

Plugging the tablet to my monitor through HDMI didn't give me an image either.

I once achieved to get to the recovery menu after a reboot - but again: only a black back-lit screen. I recognized this by randomly pressing buttons until the test sound played.

I tried flashing Ubuntu touch through the SP tool and then I get a fully working tablet, even though the OS itself is old and unusable. So... How do I install Android without the blackscreen? LineageOS or something else would be okay too.
