[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] greekfragma:
Hello everyone. :)

I just got a used Mi 8 for my mother to replace her very old android 8 device with 1gb of ram. This old flagship with SD845 and 6gb ram will be a shock to handle and I hope it will server her well for at least 3-4 years more. Condition of device was perfect and also battery health.

She is not a power user and will only operate the device for calls/camera/viber messaging and calling.

Regarding the above I am searching the best pick for a ROM. I have seen the official MIUI 12.0.3 very stable and 0 problems for daily driver.

I am only worried about bloatware and security risks since it has not been updated for almost 8months+.

I will install some banking apps so I want to make sure there will be no risk with these.

Should I give the phone stock or go for a custom rom that can be safe enough and stable for the above usage?

Appreciate any thoughts you share with me on this thread.

Thanks again :)

Hello there, I have just seen your post. Personally, I prefer LineageOS (fast and simple), crDroid (for customisations) and Pixel Experience (for battery). However, there are some MIUI 13 Android 12 patches (there is no NFC support) if she got used to MIUI
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] greekfragma:
Hi and thanks for reply, though your answer is not on point with my question. I am mostly worried about bloatware and banking apps so being the most stable and less dangerous ROM is the criteria of choice.

I am just confused if it is better to stay stock with almost 9months of no updates or take the risky way of a custom ROM that is updated.....but it is always a custom ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Advanced Gears:
Firstly, every official custom ROM has OTA updates and therefore some people could say installing on a custom rom can be less dangerous (MIUI has not, while Mi 8 is not supported by Xiaomi, anymore).

Secondly, NFC is supported on every custom ROM (and, thus, payment services).

Last but not least, MIUI ROM's have many extra apps (Security, Google app, Digital Wellbeing etc) and that's why the system occupies 7.72GB of storage space. On a custom ROM, the size is really less (from 3.5 to 4.5GB of storage space, depending on the ROM).

Consequently, were it up to me, I would choice either LineageOS (the most debloated ROM for Mi 8) or Pixel Experience (maybe, the most battery friendly one)

And in my experience diamond only records through microphone. so if the other side voice is loud or speakerphone open and you are in a silent room you can properly record audio. or else you can't record other side's sound properly.

Tried it, but it wont. Only hear yourself.

No. I have installed Vito Audio Note and it can record both side conversation. The sound of counterpart is a bit quiet than my voice, but at least it can record both side.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] majo551:
It can record only microphone. You can try it when using handsfree. The app. would record only your voice. Yes it will record the other part voice, but you have to switch the call to loudspeaker mode. That is why the other part voice is weak (it records what can be heard off the speaker...)

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] gina40:
Hello!

I have XIAOMI MI 8 phone (operation system Miui global 12.0.3 and Android 10 QKQ1.190828.002) and I kindly ask you for information/advice how to resolve an unusual problem that occurred on my phone. It seems as the application (Find my device) crashed, because everytime I unlock my phone, after 3-5 seconds the telephone resets itsself. This means it turns on again, but when you unlock the phone it resets in a few seconds no matter what I do. I tried the FASTBOOT - volume down button. When I restarted it, I hold the volume down button and it goes into the fastboot. Then I restarted the phone again and it didn't help.

I don't want to do hardboot, because I will lose my data. Is there any option to retrieve my data (I want my photos) from my phone in a save mode without unlocking it?

Does anybody recommend any program that can access the phones data while the phone screen is locked?

Thanks for your help!
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Derpling:
Was thinking of buying the phone alongside with mine Vivo x80 Pro, as it's battery is total disaster.

How's the ROG6 experience in terms of battery, speakers, performance? Would like to hear from someone who has the device rather than paid youtubers.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] AndroPlus:
Battery life is good thanks to the power-efficient 8+ Gen 1.

Comparison in Genshin Impact showed lower power consumption per FPS than 8 Gen 1 phones while maintaining a high frame rate.

The average of 59 FPS is the best among the 8+ Gen 1 phones I have compared!

Thermal throttling is loose, so if you want to play for a long time, you should have a cooler.

For the speaker, both bass and treble sounded beautifully, especially treble was clear and distinct.

It's front speaker so not easily blocked by hands when held horizontally.

Hey I just got my phone today. But uhm why is there only 379gb of 512gb available? Is this normal?!

Update the phone and do a system reset, you should have around 460GB left or even more.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] ongnoicuagod:
speaker is worse than rog 3 because rog 3 has seperate dac for 2 speakers, rog 6 only have one dac for 2 speaker and headphone jack, sound is nice but weak bass, cant compare to rog 3 or blackshark 5 . perfomance is extremely smooth, Asus kinda undervolt the soc so they dont overheat as much as rog 3 and 5 during gaming section(particularly genshin impact max setting), while gaming with max setting genshin , phone temp never pass 43 degree( when using rog 3 its around 50-52) , with the cooling fan the phone barely reach 37 degree . Battery life is very good if u turn off some useless feature like asus logo back light and live screen . Camera perfomance depends on ppl , i barely take any picture so its acceptable . If this phone can stay alive after 6 months without dead ic chip----> best gaming phone of 2022
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Derpling:
I bought it two days ago, the speakers are great but shame they downgraded it.

Battery life is superb without tweaking anything, camera is ok and very good at daylight if you use RAW.

It's a great daily driver and gaming phone, i bought it only for the daily drive thing as i barely play games on the phone, wish mine Vivo X80 Pro had the performance, endurance and speakers of the Rog6.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] elmor0:
Can you please elaborate on the downgraded speakers part?

My understanding is that they're a bit quieter compared to ROG-3 but speaker sound quality is better....
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Andrologic:
Interesting details about the sound/speakers. Bad one to cheap out on. ROG 5 has quite upgraded sound experience compared to ROG 3. Better sound, deeper bass, etc.. If the 6 ranks below 3, then it's a big step down on the audio experience...
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Derpling:
Can anyone else confirm that?

That would reflect bad on Asus.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] nadejo:
Might sound stupid but i bought this device only because it has no notch/punchhole, a good battery, better software support and higher Screen refresh rate compared to red magic 7s pro. I will miss the internal cooler of red magic tbh. But the external cooler makes sense if you consider playing for a longer period as you won't be carrying it in your pocket anyways when playing for longer periods. I will cap the performance which should still be enough without throttling and without any cooler. I like that they have that option outside of x mode where it doesn't throttle at all and limits the performance without a cooler attached. Thats just amazing
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Derpling:
Bought this phone for same reason minus gaming reasons.

Mine X80 Pro standby and battery are so bad it's not funny, and it's slow compared to the ROG6.

ROG6 barely refreshes any apps in the background and the battery life is great, some minor bugs like some stutters from time to time on BT when the screen is off.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mumblefratz:
I just bought a Lazmin112 Android 12 tablet although it appears to be some kind of wholesale thing that's available from literally dozens of different retailers. If it helps it shows up as a Model number P50 under About tablet and in ADB list devices.

This is my first exposure to Android 12 so I'm not sure whether I'm seeing differences in Android 12 from Android 11 or if the differences are specific to this tablet.

Basically I'm seeing an entirely new set of entries under settings and a number of things appear to be missing. For example I can see no way to set firefox as the default browser. I googled setting default browser specifically on Android 12 and I see the same things I expect to see under Android 10 or 11 however if I search for "default" in android 12 settings the only thing that matches is "Default SMS app" whereas in 10 or 11 I get a whole bunch of matches such as Default Browser app, Default Home app, Default USB configuration plus another 8 matches.

Is this the way android 12 settings work or is this specific to this particular tablet?

Here are screenshots of the top level of Settings. Does this look like what other folks are seeing on Android 12? If so could you please tell me how to set firefox as the default app? I tried setting it in Firefox settings but it just takes me to instructions on the mozilla website. I even installed the Hidden Settings app to see if I could find anything but no joy.

Hey everyone. After days of trial and error to unbrick my Xiaomi 11t (Mediatek version AKA agate), which was bricked flashing vbmeta partition using verification disable switch, I've supposedly had modem_ab partition deleted using format all options in SP Flash Tool . To bring it back to life I guess I need to know the modem_ab partition specifications from a scatter file (there wasn't any in fastboot rom) and to flash the modem file (non-hlos) using SP Flash Tool (trying to flash it with fastboot ends up in error as there's currently no modem_ab partition). Anyone got modem_ab partition specification for Android 12?
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] NOSS8:
Have you tried with Miflash?

Fastboot files
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] brainsore:
Yes I had tried flashing with Miflash and got same error.

So, "nvram" was what kept the phone from booting properly (I guess it somehow got corrupted during my rocket experiments :lol ) and I managed to boot up the phone after formating nvram partition and writing a full dump. Now the baseband is unknown and because of that, I can't fix IMEI by ModemMeta (gets stuck on switching to MD mode). Is that something rom with downlaoded nvram? Is some engineered nvram image or stuff needed?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] otakuarchivist:
Hello. Ever since switching to T-Mobile, I have not been able to get hotspot to work properly without limit the way it did on Sprint with an old rooted Galaxy S4. I have unlimited data without hotspot service added on and a second line that I always used to use for hotspot. I really need to be able to hotspot without using pdanet and other applications like that.

For this second line, I currently have the following phones that I can put on that line:

-Note 9 that is stuck partway through the root process (it is saying it needs version 8 of the combo firmware, which I can't find, so I'm hoping it's not a lost cause at this point)

-Nord N200

-Galaxy A32

Anyone know which would be the best candidate for this? I am also open to suggestions for getting another cheap phone to put on the plan if there is a different optimal candidate for hotspot. With the ones listed, I assume it will require root, and I've had a much harder time figuring out how to do that on these than I used to with older phones even after doing research here a bit ago.

Some gcam optimized to get the best out of the astrography mode of our pixel 6, I think I can squeeze even more.

Greetings and thanks.
[Google Camera Mods] vonDubenshire:
I do not think there is much you can do to make it better!
[Google Camera Mods] bubbyj:
Ohhh but yes there is.

I've used 40+ versions of gcam mods in the last couple of years... and the astrophotography's quality differences are palpable across the array of options.

The ability to tune certain variants is enough to make a night and day difference.

Black level. Shasta. Shutter speed/time. Total exposure length. Noise models. Hdr type/interface and versions. Frame numbers. Custom libraries. And the list goes on and on.

My favorite version is MWP 8.4, latest update.

The highly tuned astro pics are just breath taking.

Something that can not be said of the factory Google camera app.. even the 8.7.xx

Back in the day, before 8.x's came out... cstark27's gcam was as good as it gets. PX4.3 specifically. Using a magisk module for ultra long exposure times.. it literally produced some of the best pics I've ever seen in astrophotography mode. Exposure times of 9 minutes were possible. The only problem was that if clouds appeared in the frame, it created a painted photo. 9 minutes is a longgggg time.. lots of stuff could move around. I clouding the stars.

Today, I'd put MWP up against any other mod. And I highly recommend it.
[Google Camera Mods] vonDubenshire:
So I posted that comment in August, I will say that I discovered a comment somewhere on this site (posted a screenshot in a chat, I can't find the link ATM) that sent me to dig up the latest stuff from MWP and stuff that worked on 8.4+ on the P6 Pro, (I am not rooted)

I take back what I said at the time :)

Thx for info
[Google Pixel 6a] johninor:
I don't know the official name for the stylized image of a fingerprint that you touch to unlock the phone with your finger. But sometimes it displays in the wrong place when trying to unlock an app, for instance google pay or bitwarden password manager. It displays a little bit lower than the sensor location, so that if I put my finger on the image, it doesn't work. If I put my finger a bit above the image, it works. It always displays in the correct place for unlocking the phone. Here are some pics showing the problem. I put a stickie on the screen lined up to the bottom of the sensor. The first one is to unlock the phone. The second is when unlocking google pay and the third shows when I put a finger above the image. You can see how the bright white circle that lights up when you touch the sensor is in the correct place. I wonder if this is the same on the Pixel 6 and is one of the reasons that these phones have a reputation for unreliable fingerprint recognition.
