[Realme 6 Questions & Answers] WurtleDaTurtle:
When viewing the filesystem partitions in the recovery (TWRP, PBRP, etc) of a Realme 6 there are a lot more than most other Android phones. What I want to know is, what is the purpose of each one, how important are they (or are they even necessary), which partitions should be included in a backup (a backup comprehensive enough that it would be possible to format the device and restore the OS, all data, apps, etc to exactly the point it was before the format), and which partitions are modified when a custom ROM is installed?

I found this in twrp official web site. I guess this is the reason that every time i try to install twrp and after that, my device get bootloop.

So how can i disable dm-verity?

[Nokia 6.1 (2018) Questions & Answers] cl3izv:
Thanks you, but one more thing i need to ask

I tried many times to install LineageOS 18.1 with zip file (by twrp of course). I found out that my phone is a/b device, so i search on youtube "install custom rom on a/b devices" and follow step by step. But nothing happend, twrp still warn "no OS installed" and bootloop everytime :(

Please, if you know something :( i really want to use Lineage

[Google Pixel 5a] zachariahpope:
They're great for me. Nothing out of this world sound quality wise, but a pretty nice set of stereo speakers that get plenty loud enough.
[Google Pixel 5a] Locklear308:
Ah okay that's good. Does it have any distortion or weird vibration sound in the body?

I just can't stand when a phone sounds like it's exploding when I get a call or text. Right now my OnePlus 5 is pretty decent to me.

Now I'm just waiting for twrp and all that jazz.
[Google Pixel 5a] zachariahpope:
When the volume is all the way up there is a slight vibration that you feel on the phone but it's not anything unbearable like I've experienced on other devices... And the volume gets plenty loud enough without you really having to turn it up all the way so for me this isn't an issue. Hope this helps!
[Google Pixel 5a] Locklear308:
That sounds good to me!
[Google Pixel 5a] CarinaPDX:
I use my 5a as a clock radio, which wakes me with an NPR stream. It is plenty loud - much more than my old HTC A9 could do - and good quality. The bonus is that letting it run for an hour has only a small impact on the battery - this phone is very efficient. Currently it is calculating more than 6 days of battery life with my usage pattern.
[Google Pixel 5a] dkryder:
I think the speakers are good out of the box. My 5a is in the first month of use. I have James DSP via magisk to tweak output and with that boost they sound good. Remains to be seen if it lasts.

I'm really new to this whole thing of flashings ROM's but my friend said that it is the way to go. I just did my first one, which was the Kavanna 6.1. Now my computer won't recognize the phone, the keyboard is all messed up, I can't use the internet on my phone, and I would like to have the my faves thing back on the home screen. Is there anyone that can give me some assistance on these issues? I would really appreciate it!
[HTC Excalibur] uansari1:
First, you need to delete the sync relationship from your PC, as you effectively have a new phone and you don't want any conflicts.

Second, you need to make sure you uncheck one of the USB settings. I don't recall which one, but do a search, the question's been asked numerous times before.

Third, now that you have your phone recognized by the PC, you can install the Tegic keyboard mapping cab. This fixes the keyboard issue. It's a sticky in this forum.

Finally, check out the Wiki for the Tzones settings so you can get back on the internet. This is also a sticky in this forum.

As for My Faves, it's no longer on the phone. You can change your My Faves settings online though.

Next time do a search... every one of your questions has been asked and answered before.
[HTC Excalibur] tork30:
True but...

True these problems have been asked before but when I plug my phone in after doing what you had stated it says that windows has found driver software for my device but encountered an error while attempting to install it and that the requested device registry key does not exsist. I have found the stuff for the keyboard except I can't get my phone plugged in. Any suggestions?

@peterdoherty : Did you also try some config with it? If yes, can you please let me know which one worked the best? I tried the Nikita one as well, but the photos are a little less bright by default...
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] peterdoherty:
Just some tweeks by trial and error. I think the darkness was caused by enabling auto sunset or auto twilight (i don't remember the name exactly, it was a little icon above the camera selector toggle). As soon as i disable it the pics were considerably brighter.

Also I enabled and renamed the wide and zoom camera, set auto night mode. And that's about it.

Just trying a new variant. Looks even better and works with video for zoom cam. Also nightmode seems to be working better.

But if you meant what I use to update the config file, you just need to open Gcam and there is a settings under 'Modules'.

You need to manually update the config per lens (front, ultrawide, main and periscope).

This file is to lift detail in shadows especially when you are taking your subject against the light. Also good for portraits since Pixel's algorithm is too harsh on skin tones (make you look older than in real life).

Dear all friend i have version cam is working good but it is working one camera

i hope many version gcam is good for Edge 20 Pro

sorry because im bad english
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Milica84:
After much testing and tweeking, including the gcam versions given here, I have to say that my absolute best gcam version is Hasli.

Currently working with version Helena R6, link for download is here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-hasli/.

My very much tweaked config, latest version is shared here.

Every cam and many options are tweaked, including white balance, noise reduction, detail preservation etc.

I am still not 100% satisfied with white balance in all circumstances, but overall best so far.

White dots in ultrawide cam are somewhat corrected with luma noise reduction - much better but not gone.

The only problem I have with this version is with selfi cam - there is a color bleed between surfaces, see the example attached. But this is the problem I have with every gcam version 8 I have tried (version 7.3 does not have this issue). I cannot figure out how to fix it.

I hope someone else will test this cam and config :)

There are still many options I did not try and there is no good guide for this version, and no community to discuss problems and tweaks (the Telegram group I have has locked comments).

It is true - Motorola did not do the best job with this phone's camera and gcam cannot fix everything but I think this makes it usable.

Happy Holidays!

@Milica84 , i used LMC8.2 with pro , sharpness is fine for me and colour is balanced, thanks for suggesting, if you have any updates on this please do tell

however it's images are bit dark , like the output image is darker than what i see in view finder, is there any way that i can fix this , i want to make it a bit saturated and brighter

thanks in advance
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Milica84:
Hi, I did not notice that the image is darker than the view finder... Do you mean only in the Pro mode or in other modes as well?

If it is all the time, you can try to reduce Exposure from -3 default to -2 or -1 (for the main lens, it in settings/Image processing/Main camera/Exposure main lens) and see how that goes...
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] cheemsyogi:
darker image issue was on all modes

i tried it but it is not resolving the issue , however the "darker image" issue is mainly in front camera, rear camera gives decent results , maybe the front camera is worst

for now i downloaded the R9 version of LMC and trying to tweak thing on my own , the front camera images are better than R6, hope this will give appropriate results,

thanks for the help
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Milica84:
Sure, let us know how it worked.

I am still on version R7 - tried R8 and could not obtain exactly the same results using my custom config (picture was worse with R8 even though the settings were identical), so I reverted back to R7.

Can you please share the link for R9 version? I thought R8 was final, at least that's what the Telegram LMC group said...
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Dayuser:
I think he upgrade LMC 8.2 V8 to LMC 8.4 V9

You should too upgrade from 8.2 to 8.4 (y)
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Milica84:
Thanks for the clarification... I tried that version too - too much tweaking is needed (again) in order for 8.4 V9 to remotely come close to 8.2 V7, so I kind of gave up...

Do any of you have a config for 8.4 that you are satisfied with? Especially the wide cam and white dots from phase autofocus - I tried to set noise reduction so that I don't see the dots, but I am still not satisfied with the results...

At least the good news is that after Android 12 update, my gcam versions still work.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Sigray:
Hello is everything working with gcam on this device?
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Vabond:
Could you share best config for LMC 8.4?
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Vabond:
I trying to use LMC 8.4 with basic configuration, but get quality worster that on stock camera.

If I use hasli-r6_27-12_21.xml configuration, then gcam failing in the moment when I make the shot.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] dolhq:
Try my config for LMC 8.4 R9. This config xml without dots fix. White dots can be removed by luma denoise, however it will make photo blur a lot.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Milica84:
It is failing because this config is for version 8.2, sadly the configs are not compatible between 8.2 and 8.4 versions...
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Milica84:
Nice colors with this config 😊 the sharpness on main cam could be better for me...maybe it is failing autofocus, it is fairly common with this phone...
