Hello,

the discussion is very interesting for me.

I plan to do fantasy Photoshop montages for my daughter, final product shall be printed in A3. For example like this Artist https://m.youtube.com/@TheLifeofAIVAX/videos

Of course not on that professional quality level yada yada and only for personal use.

That being said, I totally live by the motto "the best camera is the one you carry with you.". Realistically, I wont carry a DSLR with me all the time. So it's a phone. I don't need 100% real colors and stuff. But it should be good enough to zoom in in Photoshop and edit it.

So the Xiaomi m11 is recommended? What is the p7p? Pixel 7 pro or a Huawei?

Is it even possible to do what I plan with a smartphone cam? The internet gives a lot of praise for the pixel 7 pro, but it's mostly considering the "taking shots on the fly" aspect and not the "I want to do some Photoshopping with it".
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nath_h57:
Is it even possible to do what I plan with a smartphone cam?

I've been wondering too for months

I'd go for the xiaomi m11 ULTRA because it's an awesome phone with 3 50Mp lenses that look good but:

Only lately I found Raw-DNG 48Mp samples from the iPhone 14 pro that is said to be the best, and I certainly don't see a good camera in them, I mean northern hemisphere daylight gives raw files that can't be embellished or used much, you push the levels a bit in photoshop and the noise appears...and you can't use that material anymore. At least I can't.

For sure the best choice to me is to choose a very good 12 Mp (or more) camera, just like what they say the Google Pixel 7 Pro is, so you get good quality raw files. I mean that because Photo retouching is all about prepress, and that's top-notch 8-12 Mp stuff.

For A3 prints you do need a 12Mp camera that outputs good files, but to open and edit in Ps, that's to be able to use pieces of a photo as material you can enlarge a bit , I don't know what cam...it all looks bad to me and I wouldn't give such quality 1400 € anyway.

Is there list we can find of good smartphones that let us shoot good 50Mp raw files ? because only the Samsungs and the iPhone 14 pro seem to do that, the mi11ultra is a good cam but you can't shoot 50mp in raw, just 12mp, same with the Pixel 7 pro I heard.

That's the thing most of us seem to need to know before they buy because nothing tells you about that before you buy.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ilmar72:
If you turn the raw feature in with an iphone 14 pro max. You get 48mp photos.

No idea if that helps. I have an s22 ultra. P7p pro and i just ditched both for the 14 pro max. Not sure if it's for the better or worse.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] otonieru:
May i ask,

what kind of photography you do the most ? Product shot ? Journalistic ? Nature ? Portrait ? Sports ?

because IMO, not all of those need same kind of pixel peeping detail. For example, for journalistic and sports, a quick and accurate autofocus and low shutter delay would be more important.

If you do portrait, nature and products, then, yes probably you gonna need a high level detail from the sensor and processing. But nornally these kind of shot is planned and prepared, so normally it would give a very good result with minimal motion blur.

If am gonna be honest, one of phone that give me crazy RAW is Huawei P9, and it's quite crazy to think how many years back is that.

Edit : No longer able to find the RAW files (it's 6 years ago after all) , but i think for a 2016's technology, this 12MP JPEG images do quite well (well, at least for my purpose)

If you are looking for a phone that can give you good RAW images, maybe you can browse around for phone that have 1 inch sensor, like Aquos R6/R7, Leica Leitz 1/2, Xiaomi 12s Ultra/13 Pro, Vivo X90 Pro or Xperia Pro-i/ I mk.IV ,

i do have an Aquos R6. It's a terrible shooter for actions and quick snaps. But do well in a planned/stable shot. You can check some sample images from Aquos R6 xda's thred
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nath_h57:
Thank you very much for your input - I am not a photographer, but a photo-retoucher (photoshop expert). I am mostly into shooting objects, portraits/bodies, and scenes, that I use either as the subject for a montage or as material for including in a montage.

I agree the watch shot is good, I have a 12mp samsung S8 that does shoot very good photos of close objects in a luminous setting...it's pretty awesome...but that's all it does, the rest is plain unusable material. I am using it for shooting small objects for a customer's web shop, it's pretty awesome too.

The point is the raw files I have seen that came from the iPhone were shot in daylight in the northern hemisphere, dark grey skies...as soon as you try to alter the colours or lightness you start seeing the noise, everywhere...so the purpose or RAW is no more as you have better quality jpegs than RAWs, which is nuts.

I had a rather cheap nikon 8 Mp camera about 17 years ago...I would be able to shoot objects that were behind glass in a museum, with very bad light conditions, and to recreate a neat object from the raw file. I wanted to start over again with nowadays super smartphones and stopped when I saw that iPhone 14 raw 48Mp file.

I agree the phones you have mentioned look cool, but I have read reviews that claim the iPhone 14 still beats them all. To think there's no "try before you buy" for those products is like too much.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] greg-turnbull:
I find that in the right lighting, the Pixel 7 Pro can take photos on the main camera almost as good as my Sony a6400 with fancy lenses which is over twice the price.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nath_h57:
So after all, is the iPhone 14 pro the only phone that can shoot good 48 Mp (or more) RAW files ? I see even google's can't

Hi, what is the best software to create complete, readable image of the device's storage on the pc? Please recommend some software. When I attempt to just copy all the files Windows is struggling with access and freezing. Thank you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecxs:
there exist no method for creating complete readable image of stock devices because bootloader is locked.

all you can do is copy some files off device via usb (MTB) or adb (usb debugging and platform-tools required) by typing in cmd.exe terminal

md "%UserProfile%\Desktop\MyPhone"
cd "%UserProfile%\Desktop\MyPhone"
"C:\path\to\platform-tools\adb.exe" pull -a /sdcard

@arsradu I am continuing my doubts from https://xdaforums.com/t/moto-g60-not-starting-flashing-locked.4483221/post-87900723 since my device(Moto G52) doesn't have a seperate forum.

Can you please tell what you did before locking bootloader in your G60?

I have my device Stock ROM from lolinet and trying to examine them. By merging multiple super.img_sparsechunk.* with simg2img and unpacking merged super.img with lpunpack, I found that _b slot partitions are empty it in, I don't know if it will fill when flashed to device. My question is, you just flashed stock rom and locked or copied to other slot too before locking? Can you please share full process you have done before unlocking like from coming from cuatom rom

Thanks
[Motorola Moto G52] arsradu:
See if my post here helps. :)

Personally, while I did flash ROMs from that mirror site and I believe they're safe, I would still recommend using LMSA for this. I also didn't mess around with the sparsechunk files. I just flashed them in their respective order, and that's about it.

Did you flash anything to slot B? If not...well, it should be pretty clean by default.

But if you want to make sure, you can simply boot (not flash) into TWRP, if you have one for your phone, check the active slot, flash the ROM with LMSA, then switch to slot B, and repeat the process.

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] shawndh:
I may not be understaning you correctly but when I want to delete all my contacts or emails, I go into ActiveSync on the phone in "Options" and deselect the contacts. Or you can delete the partnership I believe. But I know If I uncheck the contacts, email, tasks folders, ect, it will give me a notice that it will delete all these items from the device.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Krit CU:
These two files is outlook database. If you want to

clear all data base in outlook

by delete these two files. After deleted the outlook in computer going to fresh clean from any database. Now you can sync data to outlook again with out double contact or appointment problems. Becareful to backup the phone database before sync. These two files can be backup to another place, it's better move to another folder than delete it. :)

Sorry that I cannot remove only contact from outlook.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] kshitij84:
so from what i understand you hooked up your fone 2 ur comp n the contacts from your phone got updated in outlook right?

if thats the case go to your contacts in outlook there will be an option called journal.in that whichever contact has a box in the journal contact is the ones that were addd through your phone.

click on the title journal so the all are together ,tick on whichever you dont want and then delete!!!
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] arinjayw:
I guess.. all of u got bit confused.. sorry if its because of me.

Let me explain u again.

- when 1st time we sync phone with PC, all phone contacts gets copied to outlook

- now, i added some contacts from my sim contact. this is because i was not using phone book, in some of the customize i cud see SIM contacts directly, so i did not selected contact sync option from active sync.

- So, first of all, i wanted to add these contacts in my synced contacts in putlook. which i dont know.

- Now, say i format the phone and flash some other rom which does not show SIM contacts directly. So i have to sync with outlook and get the contacts which are previously syncd. All these contacts are not the updated one, cause there has been some addition in SIM contacts last time and some removal from phone book contatcs...

ALL i want is the latest SIM contacts to get synchronised with outlook. and hence want to remove previously synced contacts from microsoft outlook.

need help
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Gwystyl:
I think the only way for that is to copy your desired contacts from the sim to the phone, and remove the ones you don't want to synchronise from your phone and outlook. I don't think you can synchronise sim contacts or select/deselect some contacts. It's all or nothing.

INTRODUCTION

​

As far as i know, i haven't found xposed framework thread on this impeccable device, so decided to share the guide with you all. cherrs to the developers of xposed framework and the makers of lsposed framework. It provides seamless customization ability on compatible Android devices. The Xposed Framework is easy to install and a module-based framework. It allows users to extend the functionality of the device by letting install other apps/mods/tweak at the system level. We are going to use LSPosed for our device as this is pretty easy and it won't need any other extra files for framework. let's gooooo!!
​

**ROOT IS NEEDED**

Can I install Xposed/LSPosed without root?

No you cant, xposed need Su permissions to work, for that you need a rooted device.

GUIDE

​

Prerequisites​

LATEST MAGISK SU

Download Packages (LSPosed)

Launch Magisk Manager app and click on the last icon in the bottom toolbar to go to the module section

Click "install from storage":

Go to the Download folder from the menu:

Select the LSPosed-v1.8.5-6649-zygisk-release.zip from your fime manager

Reboot the device

After device gets rebooted, right after phone is unlocked, it will ask permissions to create shortcut on your device home screen. so make sure to grant the permission.

after the permission is being given, navigate to the created icon and launch the app. now you have the latest hassle free Xposed frame work framewok!

Hello,

I was forced to update to Android Auto 8.5 a couple of days ago.

Now I'm facing a big issue: on 9 out of 10 connections I get a notification telling me that my phone is looking for Android Auto. Even after minutes Android Auto does not start.

My configuration is:

Android Auto 8.5

Does anyone else have the same issue? If yes, what's your solution?

Does anyone experience the same problem with Android Auto 8.3 or 8.4?

The tabled was setup by somebody and eventually lost access. Tried to factory reset it but no luck. FRP enabled.

Is there something i am doing wrong maybe? Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] ze7zez:
It's hard to advise since you haven't said what exactly you're doing.

The more detailed you describe, the easier it will be to help you.

FRP can only be removed on a running system, not by flashing the firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] anixthegreat:
I am trying to remove the FRP.

I thought with the firmware i could reset the tablet.

So i have lost access to the synced account basically. I am trying to bypass the security. Tried to recover the password for the google account but since it was a new tabled with a new account i have not so many informations to be able to recover it.

I have also tried the method with Alliance Shield but i can't access Google Play neither.

Have you unlocked bootloader? It's there in the developer settings as "OEM Bootloader Unlock"

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] AverageNoob:
Are you sure you did it right? You are supposed to tap 'build number' seven times, because tapping once will not help. You may already know the above fact, though

Edit: Spelling error.

I did. Nothing happens. Tapped several times but nothing pops up. I am an apple user this is my cousin's tablet received as a gift this Christmas. He is only 9, tried to set it up himself with the help of another cousin....They forgot the password and tried to factory reset it after.

Please try it out as I don't have a physical tab on me. I am sure it will not remove data and such, so feel free to do so. You can access it by booting into the recovery options.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] AverageNoob:
It also says that you can alternatively "Place a Nova Activities widget on your desktop, then, take a look around in the Settings section of the widget, see if there's something for Developer Options."

Is it possible for you to use ADB instead of using Odin? I am not sure if it will allow you to pass through without oem bootloader unlock enabled, but it's worth a try.

You also should remember to install adb platform tools and also install samsung dev drivers.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] Abish:
I think I know exactly what is the issue either you should downgrade to FW patch prior feb 22 since KNOX doesn't allow to run developer option unless work environment is set-up. In those upgrades you can use Talkback for FRP bypass.

You can try pro disabler method to enable knox and get developer options then from there.

Tks!

Yes, but I didn't like it. The native PC mode was too much better.
[Lenovo P11] raymerjacque:
Well, it seems your only real solution is to flash an earlier build of ZUI that has pc mode. maybe flash stock rom, and only upgrade to the build before ZUI 14. thats what i did.

I discover if I use an app with name "Set Edit" and change the value of ZUI_PC_MODE for "0" to "1", the pc mode works, but for exit its necessary do the same, but in inverse.

Or using the APP "Computer Launcher 3" that is good.
