[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hassanaliyeh:
Hi Everyone,

I love the camera of my MI11U. but there are a few tunings that I REALLY HATE!!! one of them is default beautify in selfie and portrait. taking photos of black objects (tried with GCAM which took a perfect shot). and a few minor others.

Searching here and there, I found a way to turn off and on some additional settings like beautify and some other functions. this will help whoever understand all these settings (not me :D ), so I thought to share this simple method and see your thoughts and outcomes. ***note that there are some settings are in Chinese***.

1 . go to file manager and go to phone storage....

2 . go to DCIM/camera

3 . make a new folder with the name mentioned below....

lab_options_visible

4 .save and exit.....

5 . go to settings and force stop the miui camera app....

6 . now launch the app.....

7 . go to camera settings menu of the app.....you will see new options available in there....

8 . just turn off beautify in portrait mode....

9 . come back....change to selfie mode....tap on the blue star.....now tap on clear.....

Hope this helps everyone to take better photos.

would much appreciate if we can share the benefits of these settings in order to get best results.

Wow, this is amazing. Thx

Hi Hassanaliyeh , which version of gcam do you use?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] gorillalaci:
Thats great ...one Problem i dont Inderstand what are the Settings do...or make
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hassanaliyeh:
I am using GCam Wichaya 8.1.101 V1.4

it is not perfect, original xiaomi camera is impressive with all functions and control of device way better than GCam. but GCam is better in some conditions and scenarios like taking a photo of a far black object or photos of people. with Xiaomi, far black objects will be like a void in a photo and no details at all in it, and beautify is so annoying. with GCam, both are better, but colours are less vibrant and saturated.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hassanaliyeh:
The reason I made this thread is to share experience and understand what exactly they do. I really do not know any other that beautify in portrait disables it for all camera modes and not only portrait.

I found the following over internet by someone tested them on Mi10 devices, and some features are not mentioned or were disabled with previous devices. hope it helps at a start.

Internal magic tools : activates internal tools to improve the quality of photos and videos.

Face detection : the mobile camera can recognize the face and frame it in a box to improve the result.

Hide face detection frame automatically : this option hides the box that appears when activating the previous option but keeps the improvements.

Beautify in Portrait mode : Activate beauty mode in all camera modes.

Turn on dual camera : turn on dual camera to enhance photos.

Turn on dual SAT camera – currently does not have a user function.

Turn on MFNR : when activated, the device takes 6 consecutive shots which when superimposed and eliminate the noise from the photo.

Turn on SR : with this option the resolution of the image is enlarged as if the sensor of the mobile were larger.

Turn on quick shot animation : activate the quick shot animation in the app.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Robert235:
Thanks for explaining the features.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Propanium:
Thanks for the tip. One of the options I really like to see is the ability to pick the metering type (full frame average, center weighted average or spot metering). Can be quite useful. Seems like center weighted is the default.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] rowihel2012:
Where those options appears exactly?

I can't find after adding the folder and forcing close camera app
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hassanaliyeh:
Just go to camera settings and scroll down.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] rowihel2012:
Yes this way not working with android 12
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hassanaliyeh:
Seems like you got a different device.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
Got it working, not really sure what to change tho....
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] EvertonnDuarte:
is it no longer available on android 12?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] gsser:
Tried on xiaomi.eu latest weekly and didn't work. There is a modded miui cam in a Telegram group. Can't give TG links since some butthurt people hate me and sharing TG links appears to be against the "rules". Just search up "Sevtinge's Mods". That cam got many more options to tweak for, especially the Leica stuff.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] ipmanwck:
Just got the ultra. Seems not many people using this anymore... Shame as phone is amazing and unique.

Really want to turn off eis in video so it doesn't crop and do jelly mode at night when filming... Anyone managed to do this.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hassanaliyeh:
i believe you mean the image stablizer, is that correct? if yes, then you cannot turn it off since it is a physical mechanical feature that is made and installed this way, not digital controlled.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] ipmanwck:
Thank for the reply. I do not mean ois.. I mean eis.. Xiaomi won't let me turn eis off which crops in where Samsung does as in my photo.... No option on the mi 11 ultra but surely as its software it is possible to disable it. View attachment 6025928

Is there anything, besides codeproject, that has a repository for source code for windows mobile 5/6/6.1? I am looking for something similar to planetsourcecode.com/.net so I can learn from sourcecode.

Also, is there any development tool I can use to program today plugins besides Visual studio? I know of basic4ppc. But anything else? Anything similar to appforge out there?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MrMage:
Try embedded Visual C++/Basic from the MS Websites. (it's free)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mpenguin14:
I recently went through this when making Manilla2D Customizer.

I found a lot of very useful information at the pocket pc developers network http://www.pocketpcdn.com/

Code project also has quite a few decent articles

When you get truly stuck with a problem the community over at stackoverflow.com will usually have an answer for you

Feel free to download the source for M2DC at http://code.google.com/p/manilla2dcustomizer/downloads/detail?name=M2DC_v0.11.133-src.zip&can=1&q=

As far as development tools... I was unable to find anything I was happy with other than Visual Studio. Microsoft has a 90 day trial of Visual Studio 2008 Professional for free download... and that is what I have been using for M2DC, it has worked well for me, but I know in 2 months I need to buy the full version (nearly $700 :( ) or convince my employer or contracting employer to buy it for me ( :) )

good luck
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Cavey.co.uk:
I have a similar issue. I can code command line, I am just bad at picking the "correct" compiler, worse at setting it up and I don't really care for Visual coding and IDEs (am perfectly happy with Notepad or Nano).

I was surprised that there is no sticky on these forums, not even in the roll-up, that discusses "recommended" tools (or available combinations) for writing mobile applications.

The only one I am aware of is Visual Studio et al described on MS' site here -

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/windowsmobile/bb264337.aspx

Now, obviously, I don't really like spending money, especially if I can do it for free (and legally, obviously), so I was pleasently surprised when I found that MS gives their tools away to students -

https://downloads.channel8.msdn.com/Products.aspx

So this gets Visual Studio (I elected for 2005 rather than 2008) and the rest of the tools as a developer environment. I just installed all of this and it seems to be working ok with minimum fuss, so I shall be bastardising some MS sample project in the near future to create a template program and then I should be away....

Beyond that, there's the option of embedded visual c++ 4 (download and service pack 4). Only problem was getting this to compile properly (as I said, I have problems with getting compilers to work. They a nemesis of mine, along with printers).

If there are other options (like ic#code, gcc etc...) that are also easy to set up, but not attached to Microsoft, I would love to be told about them especially if there is a walk-through about how to put the pieces in the right place or an IRC channel I can ask silly questions in (like what .
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stepw:
If you don't require C++, check out PellesC.

It's very straightforward to get it up and going, it's using lcc modified compiler.

Hello all I'm just surprised to see no new ROMs for this device. It would be so nice to sport custom ROMs on this very handy phone.

Also, if anyone knows about how to contribute to a ROM or maybe a beginner's guide to porting a ROM to this device, any resources would be greatly appreciated!

[Huawei Developers] Vivi Jiang:
Huawei Student Developers proudly hosted the HSD UK Launch, which took place on the 13th November 2021 in the etc.venues Chancery Lane in Central London. The aim of the HSD UK Launch was to promote the Huawei Student Developers programme to all college and university students from undergraduate and graduate programmes. HSD has already collaborated with 12 leading universities in the UK to include the Imperial College London, University College London and University of Surrey.

View attachment 5460763

The event invited around 100 local student developers to attend and learn about innovational topics including a keynote from Elena Corchero, Director of Emerging Tech @DowJones Live, as well as a TechTalk about Huawei AI project. Caroline Fleming, Director of Innovation Strategy at the University of Surrey, also spoke about essential entrepreneurial skills which opened students minds to the different routes they could pursue after university. Attendees also had the opportunity to learn more about the multiple benefits of joining the HSD Programme, from receiving support and inspiration, to opportunities for networking and learning from key leaders.

View attachment 5460967

A highlight of the event was how passionate the speakers were about inspiring the students who attended. Elena Corchero told students “It is a really incredible and unique time for all of you to merge your passions into one” when speaking about the future of technology. Senior Developer Advocate at Huawei further encouraged students and developers with creative minds to get involved in the tech industry to help grow projects in the future.

Gen Ashley, founder of TECH(K)NOW Day, also spoke passionately about how more women are joining the tech industry. “It is an opportunity to change the picture as we’ve seen in the past the attendees of developer events can be predominately male, but recently in the last few years the scope of women getting involved has increased and it is an exciting time to be involved in the change” Ashley responded when asked what she loved about being a woman in tech, which was great encouragement for all the female students who attended the event.

View attachment 5460767

The HSD UK Launch proved to be a huge success, with students saying that not only did they enjoy learning about innovative topics in the tech world, but that they thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to network with other students, industry leaders, Huawei representatives and University professors and looked forward to attending more HSD UK events in the future.

double post...sorry
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arun0A:
The question is probably clear from the title but I would like to explain.

What and why I want

I forget my mobile most of the time at my home when I go outside, but surely take my PC. So I take remote control of my mobile (Android 11) from my PC using AnyDesk Software. Considering nobody else at home, so I have no problem if the phone display is on at my home.

What I did already

Honestly I already achieved this in my old mobile (Android 10) but as I upgraded my mobile to (Android 11), I am facing difficulties. Wisely using the settings of AnyDesk I could access, unlock, and use mobile happily in Android 10.

The problem

Now in my new mobile I can access and use the remote control just the way I did to my old mobile but to control and see the screen, I have unlock the mobile manually first (which I cannot) (PFA) henceforth, unable to control it (within the lock screen).

My Question

I understand that the feature to disable the lock screen is for security purpose but it also restricts the benefits. Is there anyway I can achieve the same as Android 10 in Android 11? or Is it possible to give advanced permission by any way?

Other important details

Permissions of AnyDesk: Device Admin, Display over other apps, and all default permissions allowed

Phone Name (New): Samsung A03s

Phone Name (Old): Moto E4

Note: Also I have disabled the screen casting warning using Shizuku, AppOps using adb.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jery99961:
I too was searching for a fix for this same problem, but, an alternative method I currently use (only for unlocking) is using TeamViewer to unlock it.

I prefer anydesk over TeamViewer as it's faster.

TeamViewer is able to access your lock screen and from there you can unlock it and then get back to anydesk.

It's a roundabout method, but, I hope there will soon be a better fix.

You can also set up smart lock to keep your device unlocked when at home (this is the best option)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyanh.luong:
Solution from https://www.imval.tech/index.php/blog/teamviewer-android-skip-the-confirm

but use: adb shell appops set com.anydesk.anydeskandroid PROJECT_MEDIA allow

or this you can get android terminal: appops set com.anydesk.anydeskandroid PROJECT_MEDIA allow

Who needs themes for TF3D anymore i say. Using the themes consumes precious rom, (check before applying ANY theme, and after) and seriously slows TF3D down.

Now with the great works of our developers here, we dun need any. i could seriously kiss a few of theme especially for the "no curtains" cab and "wallpaper4all" cab.

I say, download the "No curtains" cab, Wallpaper4all" and i'd like to add the "RC Mod", and you're all set to make your own theme right there on your device itself.

RC Mod can change the top and bottom control bars of your device with ease to adjust to your theme.

Note: several tsks cant seem to have their top and bottom bars edited, especially HTC Black. Just download another .tsk file, apply it, edit the top and bottom bar, and install all the cabs above, and wa la! your very own theme.

To further customize it, you can download TF3D Tabs Icons. There already are a few uploaded here.

I love doing it this way, cuz i do not handicap my TF3D speed, and i do not handicap my storage space.

I'd like to also suggest that theme developers start exporting their Tab Icons more.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Espensodal:
i agree

Still theres alot easier to jus install a theme, but it is so sad that it fills up the rom, i have been carefull about installing new themes after my first hard reset, and just tested, say, about 5 themes, vista theme, orange light theme, the 2 last djoubhaa themes and the jewelery theme. now my rom is down to just about 7 mb. and when i reset to default theme it stays at 24 mb, when it used to be around 60?

i love themes, but not all files seems to be deleted with the apply theme app.

and therefore filling up the rom with useless files taaking up storage space.

I have not installed a single app to the rom either, so it cant be what is causing the pile-up.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] nuumuun:
I totally agree as well!

OK one thing and I will request it over at the other post as well... but is there a way to put the "curtains" back? I tried it and some of the tabs have junk under the curtain... I will probably use the top curtain one but I can not figur eout how to get the bottom one back...

Do you mean that you're not sure if you bought an unlocked Pixel 6 Pro, or do you mean you're not sure if you unlocked the bootloader of your phone?

Your receipt for your phone should mention whether you bought the Unlocked, Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile variant.

If you're not sure if you unlocked the bootloader, then more than likely you haven't since it takes several manual steps.
