[ASUS ZenFone 8] Tom100%:
Some time ago I compared the stock Zenfone camera and the Wichita GCam. Since then both have been updated, so I made another quick test...

I installed the latest Wichaya's 8.1 v1.5: GCam_8.1.101_Wichaya_V1.5 with the config file and took a simple picture that included areas of sky, shadows and highlights. Here’s what I found:

The GCam shot is a little underexposed which gives it more highlight detail but less shadow detail, especially in the darker areas of foliage. It has a slight magenta cast which makes greenery look less saturated and gives the sky a slight purple tint.

The stock camera shot looks very good - the white balance and exposure are accurate and dark greenery has much more detail than the GCam shot. The highlights, however, have a lower contrast, smoothed appearance, so are not quite as detailed as the GCam.

The Asus camera now gives a better result than the GCam. However there is something about the quality of detail in GCam pictures that I find more satisfying and more true to life than the Asus shots. Fortunately there’s a ton of settings that can be adjusted to improve the GCam’s performance - if anyone has enough technical knowledge to help it match the stock camera I’d love them to post a config file.

I’ve included a GCam version that I’ve edited: I adjusted the white balance, brightness and shadow detail to try match the Asus shot, but it would take more complex editing using layer masks to equal the shadow detail. I guess Asus has some sort of AI to detect greenery and increase the shadow detail and contrast, and also to detect highlights to lower their contrast.

Where? :)

Could you please share your .cfg?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Tom100%:
I was referring to the GCam edited.jpg. The GCam mod and config file I used are from the Wichaya link in the post.

[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] st_jimmy_0:
Hello all!

I noticed that from standard OS/ROM

there is no way to define priority of each wifi network, so I experienced phone suddenly switches from one network to another if signal strenght of both network is similar (or if one network fails for some seconds).

How can I overcome this?

The best would be that until wifi with priority 1 is reachable, phone stands still on it

If such wifi disappears, then phone should try to attach to wifi of lower priority if present.

If wifi of priority 1 reappears, phone should switch on it.

Thanks in advance!!

[Android TV General] gersonvel:
Hi Guys,

I got an issue with my tv, it's an android tv sony bravia xbr-49x805e, it seems an update failed pr maybe a virus but the home is not working properly, it blinks like it's trying to open an app but then I can't, I tried to unistall apps and it does but when it's restarted it has them again like no changes are allowed.

I've been trying to do the hard reset which according to SONY should be pressing the volume - and the power button while unplugging and plugging again the power cord, doesn't work. So I've been trying to reset the firmware using an USB drive, I was excited because it seem I finally got a solution, however at about a quarter of the firmware update the led at the bottom of the tv flashes in blue an get restarted, the process starts all over again and no solucion.

I'm not sure if this is a software issue or if there's something wrong with the hardware. In case it is a software issue, would you have any advices I can try?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] rookey:
Hello, I've bought a OnePlus 7 Pro a while ago, and during my first efforts of installing the OnePlus drivers on the computer, then flashing it (unfortunately, I can't recall which image that was), my phone was identified as "GM1917" in the Windows notification area and the phone's about screen.

I continued playing around with ROMs, and at some point I bricked it...

I think it was guacamole_21_P.01_211210_repack.ops together with "MSM download tool 4.0-patched" (which also happened to be in a "Rebrand T-Mobile to Global 7 Pro" package) that allowed me to unbrick & flash it with an image again - however, it was now identified as "GM1915"! Using any other unbricking packages (like OnePlus_7_Pro_Global_OxygenOS_11.0.5.1.zip) resulted in the MSM tool saying "Param preload: Device not match image".

The phone's about screen says I'm using model 1915, but it runs 11.0.7.1.GM21AA!

I'm completely confused. I would feel better if I could use the seemingly better-supported GM21AA ROMs (not just OxygenOS, but maybe also others), can I 'convert' my phone somehow?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Vitahan:
Ever figure out how to get your phone back to reading as GM1917? I have a similar issue.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Epic028:
Whether or not your phone says GM1917 or GM1915 completely depends on the rom. But idk why that matters, everything functions the exact same way.

[General Questions and Answers] Soumyadip999:
Greetings everyone. I didn’t find a thread for this specific phone model. So I am putting it up here. Few days back I decided to unlock the bootloader of my LG W41 (LM-K610IM) and upgrade to a custom ROM. So, I used fastboot mode to unlock the bootloader and up until now everything went like a dream. Problems started when I couldn't get a TWRP recovery for my specific model. I downloaded a generic one and first tried to push it to my recovery partition. That's when I learned my phone doesn't have a recovery partition. I don't know what came to me then I used fastboot flash command to flash the TWRP image to my boot partition. It was successful but my phone won't start after that. It was a softbrick. Only the LG logo started bootlooping. But the worse was still not over. In an attempt to restore my device I searched everywhere for the stock ROM as the official website is down, but couldn't find any. At last, I zeroed in on a similar device by the same manufacturer LG K52. It had the ditto hardware like LG W41. Even the model number was similar. So, I downloaded the KDZ file. Extracted the dz from the kdz and the boot.img from the dz using LG KDZ extractor . Made a scatter file using a Hovatek instruction and using WWR MTK tool and formatted my device using SP flash tool and flashed everything. Till now my device was detected by the Windows 11 PC as a LGE device. Anyways the SP tool successfully flashed everything but after that my won't turn on any more. It's total dead. It won't power on, pc won't recognize it. I have tried connecting using USB and all possible hardware key combinations. It is dead bricked I think. All because of my stupidity. Now my question is, does it have any hope left or should I throw it away and buy a new device? 🤔 I am keeping my fingers crossed and hope to find a superhero

Edit 1: SP Flash tool doesn't see my device any more. I have all the specific drivers installed. From LG and from Mediatek.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] NOSS8:
It does it instantly if you have already unlocked it but normally it's 168 hours now maybe on older phones it's instantaneous.

You did it?

installed the rom version requested by the OP of the AOSP rom that way you won't need to flash the firmware.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] the_bulk:
It was surely never unlocked , must be cause it's an old device as you say.

AOSP ROM says Oreo which the device has but no luck with TWRP though, fastboot flash recovery comes up with FAILED (remote: Anti-rollback check failed) .

Even tried to boot twrp with fastboot boot but that gets me stuck at MI logo.

Think I'll try putting in newer firmware tomorrow and see what happens.

edit: It worked with newer firmware flawlessly , probably I had wrong TWRP version that did't work with Oreo ARB version. Thanks for your input :)

Great and Congrats!

Can you explain about each zip file made?

Is there a situation for each file?

What does each file do exactly?

Which file should I choose?

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

UPD.

Okay OP. Good work but have consequencies........

Here what I made:

installed magisk;

installed DFE-NEO-0.7.0-BETA+HNE.zip via magisk - modules;

Rebooted device.

Problem: Red message in the screen (look attached SS).

Solved with:

USB Debugging enable;​

Permission adb Okay;​

cmd command:​

D:\Program Android\platform-tools>adb shell
Mydevice:/ $ pm list packages

Thanks for feedback. I'll try fix it. After installing DFE noe, is your device no longer encrypted?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lopestom:
I can make backup of Data now with TWRP.

But..........

I need to do more testing regarding the ROM.

I fixed a reset - FORMAT DATA with TWRP to see/test if everything would work fine after that.

Knowing that there would be a possibility it might not work, re-install your zip file and reboot to test again.

So there's a big problem: - WiFi connection doesn't work

- going to settings - Security - Encryption&credentials =====>>> Black Screen .......... stop ............ go back setting automatically

- others??

Do not worry about me. I have experience in getting the device running normally. The device is also not for my daily use.

So I will need time for more testing or you should write for users not to do a factory reset.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lopestom:
Thanks man. I appreciate what you're doing.

I already tried with this and newer version DFE-NEO-0.10.1-BETA.zip having the same situation as before.

Unfortunately there is something that blocks the wifi working after installing DFE-NEO-x.xx.x-BETA.zip. Regarding this, I tested restoring the NVRAM, NVCFG and NVDATA files and the wifi started to work, however the part that DFE-NEO does is lost.

Is there something that DFE-NEO does with NvRam, NvCfg and NvData partitions?? Is it something that is a prerequisite for the ROM to work encrypted and consequently to work or not work the wifi?

I couldn't try all possibilities to investigate and test as I have been sick for a few days.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] LeeGarChat:
Some ROMs may not work correctly with DFE, due to the fact that the ROMs are designed to work with an encrypted data partition, or there are any protections. also, on some ROMs, the data split must be formatted according to the associated with certain keys -C and -O -g. DFE-NEO does not modify any partitions except boot, just like magisk. DFE-NEO works thanks to magisk-init, which allows you to run custom scripts during ROM startup. the script that is executed during system startup, makes a copy of fstab, deletes the encryption keys and mounts it in place of the original fstab, there is no full-fledged verification of the system. all work is based on magisk logic
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] OldNoobOne:
Awesome job LeeGarChat, much appreciated by all users (y) I have quoted your post link in other threads too so all can see the magic :love:.

My device is Shamshung Galeksi M21 2021 (SM-M215G) But when I flashed from TWRP it showed some red error : 577 something like that, then when I flashed from Majisk it showed error code 3 : DFE-NEO only for virtual_ab devices

Treble Check shows my device is treble compliant having AB partition and TWRP displays following partitions: System, Vendor, Product, Odm, Cache, Data, EFS, Metadata, Sec EFS, Micro SD Card, USB OTG.

In my Shaomi Readmi Note 10 (mohito) TWRP displays Slot A & Slot B under Advanced Tab and ROMs get directly flashed to Inactive Slot B, also everytime I try flash new custom ROM I have to first flash MyUi Factory ROM and also System partition doesnt show in TWRP Mount section.

My question is what is the difference between Shamshung Galeksi M21 Android 11 out-of-box & Shaomi Readmi Note 10 Mohito ? why TWRP shows System partition mount in Shamshung and not in shaomi though both are A/B devices?

Pls help.
