[Asus Zenfone 9] Silly22:
I mostly agree with this. But I'll bounce between Wichaya and LMC depending on the environment. Like if there's ripples on water or a certain shade of color I want to capture more realistically, I'll use Wichaya or Stock. I'll probably use the Asus stock app if I need the better shadow detail in an HDR scene while preserving detail around light sources. And like you're thinking, probably for video the stock app is best.

However, in my quest to make LMC more of my go-to, I figured out how to make the Manual Focus Slider work in it. First you have to enable it in Settings -> Processing functions -> Viewfinder settings. In the bottom half you need to enable both the Tracking focus button along with Focus Slider for the UI.

If the Viewfinder UI doesn't update, switch to either the selfie or ultrawide camera and switch back.

With the help of the Camera2 Test App, I set the Minimum Focusslider value (also in Processing functions settings menu) to 10.0 and 25 for the Main and Wide Camera, respectively. But you can just copy the below as shown in the screenshot

To use it, you'll first toggle on Tracking Focus by clicking the button on the top left. Then turn on the Manual Focus Slider by clicking the button on the top right. Then you can use the slider, but you also have to start by tapping somewhere in the scene to tell gcam to track something. Now when you slide up an down on the focus slider, it will move the lens and set focus based on that. Here's a screenshot

If you do not first turn on Tracking Focus, the Manual Focus Slider still works, but what it does is lock it at where you set the slider. So you use it by sliding to the desired focus step, then tap anywhere in the scene and it will move the lens accordingly. This way you can set focus distance before and then click somewhere else for light metering. However, it's a shame that Gcam doesn't have focus peaking visual indicators like the Asus stock app does in Pro mode.

I'll be using manual focus primarily for close up shots or macros on the ultrawide.
[Asus Zenfone 9] landsome:
Thanks. It works nicely.

I got my hands on a Xiaomi 13 (base). Pics are good but not great. There is some sharpening, but decent. However, colors pop badly. Here's a comparison of 2x (digital) crops from ZF9 stock and Hasli LMC, 2x (optical) from Pixel 4, 2x (digital, main cam) from Xiaomi 13, and 3.2x (optical) from the same. The Pixel's great and LMC is good but for the reds.
[Asus Zenfone 9] landsome:
And here are crops from P4, ZF9, Xi13 (all with main cam) and Xi13 tele (3.2x zoom). The tele does much better. Asus stock gets the colors right again, is not excessively bright, but oversharpens badly, as usual.
[Asus Zenfone 9] Silly22:
The Xiaomi 13 seems to be pretty good at retaining details but also seems to oversharpen like the stock Asus cam. The Xiaomi seems to do a bit better for the cat than it does for the pillow but runs a bit cool. Thanks for showing it.

I also did some more tests and found one great way to improve the color rendition from Hasli's LMC. Just use HDR+ Enhanced and the colors in your photos come out more accurate. I've only used HDR+ (not enhanced) for my test shots so far.

I also tried using the AWB button that you have to enable in Settings -> Processing functions -> Viewfinder, like for the Manual Focus slider and Optical stabilization toggle. The result of using AWB is both warmer reds-oranges and cooler whites and light browns that render bluish. This was a test of AWB turned on under artificial light (indoor fluorescent and incandescent), and I haven't tried it outdoors under the sun, but I probably won't ever use it.

I also played with changing the Processing functions -> Color correction -> lens in top 1/3rd group from Standard (which is set by Amal-3.0 xml config) to Arnova fix and IMX686 Redmi but this really didn't have a noticeable affect.

One setting that definitely changes the colors that are output is under Color correction -> Auto-CT there is Global Hue Rotation in degrees that you can enter a number. I'm not sure I'll use this because HDR+ Enhanced seems like a good enough solution for color accuracy at the time. Another benefit of HDR+ Enhanced is more dynamic range and the gimbal in the Zenfone 9 probably helps it capture all the images for stacking.

There are just so many places in the Gcam settings that could affect color temperature and hue that I'm just going to have to take a break from messing around in it and making test shots.
[Asus Zenfone 9] landsome:
Hey, again! I got my hands on a S23 and a Xiaomi 13 at the same time, so I can do more comparisons. This time, these are all crops from pics taken with the main cam, stock app on the two and Hasli on the Zenfone 9; and with the 3x tele on Samsung and Xiaomi and digital 2x on Zenfone (Hasli). I think that, minus the color, the Zenfone holds its own pretty well indoors, considering the absence of a dedicated tele; Samsung can sometimes be quite disappointing.
[Asus Zenfone 9] obstgarten:
Hello,

I would like to use the Gcam app as my standard app.

When I am in the lock screen I have my camera icon at the bottom right but this leads me to the stock camera app, can this be changed somehow so that the Gcam app is used as default?

My system is now on Adroid 14 and I have not rooted. Is it possible on a rooted phone?

best

Felix
[Asus Zenfone 9] landsome:
UPDATE: Yes, it can be done, from Settings / Security & lock screen / Screen lock settings wheel

My other solution is to use gestures on the dark screen. I use W for gcam and M for the stock cam and it works perfectly. The only small disadvantage is that you have to unlock for gcam, so it's actually W plus fp/touchpad. But it's fast and works when screen is off...
[Asus Zenfone 9] obstgarten:
Hi, thanks a lot your soultion works but is not really that practical but better than before.

cause your UPDATE Messages when i go to screen lock settings i can link a app on my lock screen but gcam is not visible in my list and also only the stock apps i can link without unlocking.

I have another question about GCAM, when i do photos the timestap is one hour ahead, i couldn't find in settings wehere i can chane the prfixes
[Asus Zenfone 9] landsome:
That's strange. All my apps I visible, incl. Gcam (I use Hasli / LMC). But you do have to unlock. Just touching the fp button - without pressing - is not such a big deal for me.
[Asus Zenfone 9] obstgarten:
Hi thanks a lot. I installed a port of LMC and now it's visible. The ports of MGC and BSA didn't showed. And also the dateformate/timestamp are now correct. 8.4lmc is the latest version?
[Asus Zenfone 9] landsome:
8.4 is the latest version with a ZF9 customization file available. I recommend AMAL v4.1 (attached).
[Asus Zenfone 9] obstgarten:
Thanks, I downloaded already the amal configs. Today I wanted to to a slow motion video and the App crashed. Somebody have same problem?
[Asus Zenfone 9] landsome:
Slo mo does not on work on LMC. But more generally I recommend stock cam for video. It's good on this front, much better than for stills.
[Asus Zenfone 9] kloetpatra:
thx, I tried this config with LMC8.4 R18F1. However when I take a photo with zoom, the saved photo shows a completely different region. It is like it is aligned to the bottom part of the sensor. Not the centered region, which is correctly shown in the view finder.
[Asus Zenfone 9] landsome:
Strange. Zoom works fine in my case. But I typically use standard 2x or 3x. I have not tried other zoom settings.
[Asus Zenfone 9] kloetpatra:
Ok, I couldn't get it to work properly. Not with re-install, settings reset or using default config. After I installed com.samsung.android.scan3d version, it works without any flaws. But is there any way to enable "manual mode" where you can set aperture, white balance temperature, shutter speed, iso? Isn't there a way to patch the default camera app and disable that bad post-processing filters? I don't want to switch between the apps for photos and videos.
[Asus Zenfone 9] obstgarten:
also for me too, i have tested different zooms
[Asus Zenfone 9] obstgarten:
Hi community,

i have a question about portrait mode.

Is there a setting to save the photo from the front camera (selfie) without mirroring so that the word/sentence is readable?
[Asus Zenfone 9] Cero Osc:
in my Gcam just unchecklist "Save Selfie as Previewed"
[Asus Zenfone 9] obstgarten:
Thx, this was the hint I searched.

Other cmd not work.

Can anyone help me
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nordnord:

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RhapsodyK:
Have you enabled USB debugging?

To enable USB debugging you need to enable Developer Options in your phone first. To do this: Go to Settings > About phone > Software info > and then tap the build number about 7 times.

Edit: I can see you have downloaded the Android SDK Platform-Tools on the desktop. Try to run the command under the correct path ( C:\Users\XXXX\Desktop\platform-tools_r33.0.2-windows\platform-tools>

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fil3s:
Use android flashtool. You can't downgrade on official a13 and I think you have to flash it to both slots or use flashtool

Android Flash Tool

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nordnord:
Yes i have bootloader unlock. But totally blackscreen now. Any button do not work.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
If ADB and Fastboot still work (and since your bootloader is unlocked), then @fil3s suggestion to use the Android Flash Tool is the best option to try.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nordnord:
Pc not recognize phone.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Guess I misunderstood. Do ADB and Fastboot still work, or don't they? If they don't, you might want to edit your OP.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Do you have the latest drivers and Platform Tools installed? Try different cables and/or ports?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nordnord:
Here screenshot
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nordnord:
Yes driver and platform toos installed. I tried different cable and port.

Abd/fastboot devices cmd works but next like adb reboot bootloader cmd not works.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Are you using A to C cable?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fil3s:
If fastboot devices works type

fastboot reboot bootloader

Or use adb sideload
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] V0latyle:
What were you trying to do, and at what point did this happen?

Is your phone recognized as a Android device, or is it showing up as something else?

Does holding down the Power button + Volume Down do anything?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nordnord:
Yep
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nordnord:
Button combination not work

Not enter fastboot mode or recovery mode
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nordnord:
Fastboot devices works

Adb reboot bootloader cmd not works

I recently discovered this dope app which brings back separate tiles for Wifi and Data. Highly recommend. https://xdaforums.com/t/better-inte...-fi-and-mobile-data-toggles-non-root.4373925/

Works great on Android 13.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Jeff_N:
Thanks mate! That is, i think, the only possible way (at the moment) to regain the seperate toggles.

Problem is, if you are unrooted, you have to do the adb command after every reboot.

I hope, that in the future there will be an alternative.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mko000:
You can get a separate Wifi toggle by installing this app: https://github.com/rostopira/wifi_qs/releases

Do you need to be rooted to use this app?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jorrik98:
Not necessarily, but it does make it easier if you do have root.

If you use the non-root Shizuku method, you need to start the Shizuku server manually after every reboot (You can do this with or without connecting to a computer)

Flashing Magisk won't affect your data, unless system conflict

[Huawei P30 Questions & Answers] Anubarak16:
I searched a few hours in the internet to find a finite answer but there are so many old threads and old Youtube videos with dead links so I'm not really sure if there is a way or not.

A friend of mine has an Huawei p30 lite and wants to revert the last update back to the previous version of EMUI 11 instead of EMUI 12.

The phone is still on stock - no open bootloader, no root, nothing.

Is there any way to revert the last update back to Version 12 - best case without bootloader unlocking tools just be placing an older version of the firmware somewhere?

Sorry if this has been asked countless times but as I said I always only found dead links.

Thank you very much.

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] kristijanhusak:
Hey folks,

I have this strange issue that I don't know how to solve, or how to even report to Xiaomi.

I'm using App Lock to lock few applications because of my daughter. I don't want her to mess around things she is not allowed to touch when I give her the phone.

Of course, first thing I locked is Phone and Contacts app, to prevent unplanned calls. I'm using Always On display, and whenever someone calls me, screen doesn't wake up or change at all! Phone just vibrates and rings (if it's not in the silent mode), but there is no absolutely any indication on the screen that there is an incoming call. Same thing happens even when Always On is disabled.

At first I thought this is bug inside EMUI, and that it will get fixed. 1 year passed since I have the phone, and it still isn't fixed. I tried googling and enabling all permissions on phone app to allow drawing above other apps and all those permissions, but it didn't help.

Today I tried to remove Phone app from the App Lock, and it started working. All this time issue was caused by the App Lock.

I didn't find any settings for the App Lock that will somehow loosen up the permissions, so I'm clueless at this point.

Does anyone have any idea how can I solve this, while still having Phone app locked up?

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
I don't have a fix for that issue, but instead of using Phone @ App Lock, you could Pin an App (Not sure if MIUI has this tho) and the person would have to unlock the screen to enter other apps,

or try Google's Parental Control feature perhaps...
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] kristijanhusak:
EMUI doesn't support pinning, at least I didn't find it.

I solved it by installing another app lock application (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hideitpro.app.protect) which I use to lock only Phone app. It properly locks the access, but shows the incoming calls. Thanks for help!
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] anruby:
Hello, autobrightness on my A53 with OneUi 4.1, latest patch (1.7.2022), is not working properly. In direct sun, my brightness level isn't cranked up so I barely can see anything. On the other hand, when I'm in complete darkness, sometimes it dims to expected level and sometimes it stays in the middle of brightness slider so it is too bright for dark room.

Does anybody have the same autobrightness issues like me? I tested light sensor in Sensor Test app, and it works like it should, so it seems like SW problem to me.

I haven't had the chance to download the beta version yet, so I'm even more excited to see what will be introduced to us this Thursday.

I have watched ours of YT videos about Android Tiramisu and One UI 5, but haven't noticed many changes or real upgrades that would make it attractive to me. I saw a preview of ColorOS 13' design and the quantum animation engine which looks like it will boost the app performance and usability.

[OPPO Find X5 Pro News and Guides] Dax1983:
What are you expecting from this upcoming launch? I saw the teaser posts where it says "smart & connect" so I expect that we will see a feature or function that integrates the device into a wider system, maybe with the OPPO Pad. Also I think we will see a big pump in performance through the quantum animation engine

I've had the beta version since the 3rd and I have had a love-hate relationship with it throughout the past few weeks, at least until the 2nd patch of updates.

I like how edge lighting is included whenever you receive notifications

Sure Bitmoji, Climate Change, and the new AOD playback is cool. I tried turning on Screen always on and within a couple of minutes, my phone was heating up - so I'm not sure how I feel about this yet

I like the smart sidebar, but I have already seen this in One UI 4.0 so it's just nice to have it here now

The media player widget section in the shelf drawer is only okay if you're playing any music. Since I don't use it, I don't like it as much since I can't remove it.

Aquamorphic still has to be seen
[OPPO Find X5 Pro News and Guides] brehov23:

Is the Quantum Animation Engine a hardware that allows that seamless transition? Or is it how they call the transition?
