Hi all,

I was just wondering if it was possible/figured out yet if the volume keys could be remapped to control zoom level on the camera (considering how slow the on screen slider is)? Thanks :)

[Redmi Note 10 Pro] minax007:
Hi everybody,

I see several threads which are dealing with the best camera or best camera settings for PHOTOGRAPHY.

But I haven't found any that is dealing with VIDEO.

As I am more into taking videos I would like to know which app (and settings) you recommend and why.

Thanks!
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] khusika:
I'll stay with MIUI camera for video recording (default settings). Most of 3rd party cameras are only optimized for photography. But yeah, instead of judging which one is better you can test it one by one by yourself.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] minax007:
Thanks!

I have tested a couple of GCam versions and the Leica-Camera and think that none of those was good.

As I am on an AOSP ROM I could not install MIUI camera.

Probably MIUI camera is the best one for video recording but I do not know.

And probably there are some GCam mods which are even better.

Could you please explain why you prefer MIUI camera. Is it the sharpness, expore, noise reduction, or any other parameter?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] khusika:
I'm not really expert with photo/videography, but i'm just looking the video results with the default settings of 3rd party cameras compared to the MIUI camera. The results were MIUI camera have better video stabilization compared to the 3rd party cameras.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] a dead man:
ok, noob question

can i install wm5 or wm6 on my pda2k evdo?. I know that it has been said no I cant, but I know that it can be installed on pda2k.

firstly, I assume this is because cdma is not supported in the pda2k release, but since cdma is dead in oz, its just a pda now.

secondly, i dont need it as a phone, (data charges are too high here, i'd be bankrupt in a day :) )

so the question remains, can it be done if you ignore the fact its cdma and only want it for a pda?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] medioqre:
disclaimer - sorry i really have no idea what i am doing and my goal is to just go back to my normal phone

my phone is poco f1 and now i can only access fastboot and this "powered by android" screen. fastboot into twrp doesnt work because of "boot command is not allowed in lock state" error

hello all so i tried rooting my phone and then realized that its going really badly (i have a more details about it down) so i decided to flash stock rom using techno treatment's tutorial on it but along the way i have faced a couple of problems - when trying to install drivers, program crashes, and others below

first time i flashed i got an error (timeout error in logs) , so i tried to flash again but this time i left it open for some time (at around 500 seconds i pressed flash again, in logs it shows that flashing already started) and when i came back it was at 12000 seconds still flashing so i closed miflash and am flashing once again but with a shorter folder path (desktop\xiaomi\firmware).

after this i deleted 2 lines in flash_all.bat because i kept getting stuck on echo mismatching image and device. after this everytime i try to flash i get this error - error:Erasing 'boot' FAILED (remote: 'Erase is not allowed in Lock State')

and also error:Erasing 'boot' FAILED (remote: 'Erase is not allowed in Lock State') in the other log file

and after this i tried to go into fastboot but noticed that the fastboot logo is different, it was a bunny with a hat repairing android robot but now it is android robot repairing itselfView attachment 5866569(this is what it looks now)

what i did before flashing stock - sorry my memory isnt the best this is all in a span of around 5 hours and my phone is pocophone f1. so at first i followed munchys tutorial on how to root, i succesfully enabled bootloader then in twrp i flashed recovery with some errors like failed to mount /system and 3 others like this but i ignored and continued then i installed magisk and after that in the video he goes into his phone no problem but i had "no os" and i think i just clicked around like backing up, restoring and wiping. then i thought i need a rom because its an os right? so i installed lineage and that was the last time when i could put files into my phone through usb. then i flashed the zip and after that rebooted and got "cant load android system, your data may be corrupt" so i pressed format something like that and did it a few times (i think this is when i couldnt put my files) until eventually saw that its no use so i went back to twrp and again clicked around until eventually wiping everything now i have no os and i cant transfer anything through usb.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] khusika:
Hi @medioqre

Seems like you are in locked bootloader state. You can not flash any ROM with locked bootloader unless you are enter EDL mode. See youtube tutorial to access edl mode for Beryllium
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] medioqre:
Hi, to confirm - entering edl mode requires me to open up my phone right? how would i do that and how would i close it up after?

Thank you!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] khusika:
That's right, but i recommend go to the service center if you aren't able to do it.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] medioqre:
Hi again, its been 10 days.

so i have not went to a service center yet, because my city is too small for that. But i have a question. i didnt do anything else with my phone but today i decided i could do something and i booted it and i found out i can access fastboot mode and recovery mode, and in here i can see -

main menu, mi-recovery 3.0

and this one option

"connect with miassistant" which just gives me a picture of a phone if its plugged or unplugged with usb and under theres is a link to this website pcsuite.mi.com which doesnt work.

does this change my situation?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] khusika:
If you are still in locked bootloader, you can't write firmware through fastboot or recovery
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] amn1987:
Why don't you try unlocking the bootloader officially?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] vip57:
i almost lost hope with poco

my imei is gone randomly after reboot and it doesnt accept sim card and wifi mac address is wiped

we don't have xiaomi shop here in my country

i have bootloader unlocked

any idea to restore it ?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] borisku:
If you have a funtional nandroid of your own device, you could try to restore efs partition, but be very careful, that is a dangerous operation, that can kill your device. But i dont beleive that the behaviour of your poco is caused by software/partition error, for me that sounds like hardware fault. i would send it to Xiaomi repair centre ...

Hi All, I'm using Moto G 5G phone since its launch. But that time 5G was not available in India. Now it has been launched and working in other phones. But don't know why its not working in my phone. In the settings itself it doesn't show the option to select 5G network. Also the phone is out of warranty so can't claim that this phone is not 5G supported. Btw can anyone pls tell me that 5G is working on their Moto G 5G. What shall I do. I don'y see any new update as well. I'm on Android 11. I tried using my sim in other mobile and 5G is working on my sim. So no issues with sim also.

Any suggestions how to get 5G in my phone? Any what to check if there are any hardware issues in the 5G module or if its not there or faulty?

[G1 Android Development] Miserlou!:
Hi all!

I'm an android developer, and I regularly read the official android-dev and android-porting lists, but on all the fan blogs and from lurking here, it seems that all the good development is coming from XDA-dev!

So why don't you guys do some patch submission? Features like auto-rotating browser and the transition animations should really, really be in the main source, but the official Android team have their thumbs up their asses in regards to UI/polished stuff.. (I bet they're too busy working on the lower level cellular stuff and the ARM-generating stuff like in the *flinger libraries).

So you guys should make some patch submissions over at (http://source.android.com/submit-patches)!

That way, the next RC will have all of these lovely features you guys have implemented.

((Or, alternately (but more ambitiously), fork the entire codebase. Strip out the DRM and add a framework for native code execution. Perhaps that's a pipe dream, though..))

Thoughts?
[G1 Android Development] Gary13579:
I think forking the Android source would be a very nice touch, if Google doesn't pull it together. We could still add on to stuff from the official code, but add on all the special stuff that Google refuses to (they've said they won't add the ability to change CPU speed, etc).
[G1 Android Development] Miserlou!:
Oh, absolutely, there would be numerous advantages to having a fork. It should definitely be discussed! I'm afraid that Google may be trying to exert too much control on their platform in ways that we don't always want, so there is nothing legally to stop us from forking and maintain a more badass tree. GitHub could provide the hosting.

Of course, it might be a waste of effort. If you submit the badass patches, then the good features here go out into all the phones in the next versions. Work on the fork, and only the selected users who are able to flash their own phones can use it, unless some Chinese companies start using it or something like that.

Names?

XanDroid? I'd rather like to see Mandroid with in a slick black theme..
[G1 Android Development] Seanambers:
Well to me it seems like the only people doing cool things right now with android have rooted devices :)

So why cant you ***** a little on google lists to make them actually do some work. The Roadmap @ http://source.android.com/roadmap is a joke. Either they give us root or they start working imo. =)
[G1 Android Development] Miserlou!:
Do you think that the release of the new unlocked Dev phones will change things?
[G1 Android Development] Seanambers:
Yeah it'll most probably shake things up a bit, however what about all those that already have a g1? :)

I for sure isnt buying a new phone to get root.
[G1 Android Development] Miserlou!:
But even so, we're still talking about modifications to the OS and the packaged applications, which would be released in the next RC version, so even non-root users would get the features in the next update, along with anyone running Android on something besides a G1.
[G1 Android Development] bhang:
my .02

Id say submit some of the things found here and see what goog does with it, if they openly add these things that need root at this point and let xda dev participate in the OS with such submitions...then cool thats how open source works best, when anybody can add to the project, a phone OS utopia :)

If they ignore it then, a fork is the way to go but give google a chance to do the right thing first before, just leaving them in the xdadevs dust with a custom distro...
[G1 Android Development] Gary13579:
Google has refused to add multiple features. They feel that they aren't necessary, or that your average consumer wouldn't want it (main thing I can think of atm is CPU speed).

If they don't add the features we request, simply because *they* don't like them, then a fork would get us exactly what we want/need. After we fork it, and the number of users using stock Android plummet, maybe they will listen ;).
[G1 Android Development] neoobs:
I see a problem with forking... who says what is allowed and not allowed? That is the main problem. Now if you wanted to just add an app that would be one thing but there is not going to be an easy way to do this.
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Given the number of G1s with modified fw installed compared to the total number of sold units, I somehow doubt the number of users is going to plummet.

IMHO it would be a needless fork unless some new or considerably modified features were planned. Better to just patch the functionality into the official builds, if at all possible.
[G1 Android Development] Miserlou!:
I'm not convinced by that logic. There would be an important difference between a fork and patched versions of the firmware, as a fork would have a totally different design philosophy. Whereas Android is focused on speed (or whatever the hell they're concentrating on..but to be honest, I think they're dicking about over there), Mandroid could have more focus on polished features and low-level access. ((And! No DRM, and I'd like to see some more security features..ZRTP?))

Either way, I think it's really important for the success of the open future of phones that the open source community take and give back. There's no need for the back-and-forth like with, say, PSP-cracking as we have the source code and we are allowed to do whatever we like with it. If we just keep patching what they give us and keeping the modifications closed, then we aren't really in control.

As for project management, I'm absolutely sure there are people who are capable of maintaining an active open-source project such as this, as long as there is a well-thought out design philosophy. I'd love to be involved, if enough people are willing to give it a shot. But, first, it'd be easier just to submit patches.
[G1 Android Development] Gary13579:
PSP cracking is insanely different. If you were in that scene, does my name look familiar :P ? Was net admin at toc2rta/malloc, admin of psp-hacks.com, worked with a lot of people on a lot of stuff that I barely remember as it was years ago :P.

But for the PSP, we were working with a system we knew nothing about. So yes, Android would be a lot simpler to work with. But if Google doesn't listen to us, it's not like it would really matter.
[G1 Android Development] Datruesurfer:
Android is licensed by both the Apache Software License (do whatever you want with it) and the General Public License (do whatever you want with it as long as you make the source code available for others). We are certainly allowed to do this, but the problem lies with the G1 owners running the official RC30. They wont have the rights required to flash the image which leaves them out of the party.
[G1 Android Development] bhang:
2 words

The community(did I spell that right?)

Bhang
[G1 Android Development] neoobs:
I meant who is going to the be decision maker of what features will be added... The Community as a whole? What about some that want it but only 25% of the community wants it?
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
That's what project leads are for. And hypothetically when enough people are dissatisfied with the xda-dev fork they will go and create their own fork. Except I don't think there is any real argument yet to go and create an xda-dev fork in the first place. Forking an operating system meaningfully is not a weekend project for a single person.
[G1 Android Development] bhang:
I have said it before, let's give them a bit more of a chance, a fork isn't something a guy can do in a weekend.

So let's see what happens in RC3X, the next release will give folks a bbetter idea of where their heads are at. If enough of the community is unhappy there will be a fork

[Thinkpad Tablet General] uschipower:
Hello,

I have a TB-X505F (Lenovo Tab M10) with the stock ROM TB_X505F_S001149_221115_ROW.

It is rooted and I tried different Magsiks/Zygisk modules.

From one moment to the next, WLAN and BT can no longer be activated. If you move the slider for turning on WLAN to the right, it jumps back to off a few seconds later; the same with BT.

What I have already done:

- Reset network settings via Settings -> System

- Factory reset via Android

- Factory reset via TWRP

- Factory reset via StockRom recovery

- reinstalled the rom with LRSA.

- Reboot with and without SD card

Do you have any idea what that could be or what else I could try?

With a cellphone module I read that an IMEI can get lost and that the module can no longer connect to the cellphone network.

Is there something like that with the MAC address of the Wifi and BT interface?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] hoss_n2:
For all who are not satisfied by the colors of screen,

I passed by a post on Reddit that someone succeeded to enable 3 more different Display Colors modes other than "Vivid & Natural" via adb

There is 5 screen modes in total:

0 AMOLED cinema "DCI P3 color"

1 AMOLED Photo "Adobe RGB"

2 Basic

3 Natural

4 Vivid

Go to Settings -> Display -> Screen mode and

Set the screen mode to Natural otherwise this trick won't work

Connect your phone to adb on your PC and type

adb shell settings put system screen_mode_setting a number from 0 to 4

example:

adb shell settings put system screen_mode_setting 0

Last thing to do:

In order for the changes to update, open the settings, go to display and go to the Screen mode tab and go back.

Also there is a video step by step to enable it

Finally instead of adb you can use SETEDIT App from Play store to do the same
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MilgeS:
I wonder, if someone was able to find out what colour values/settings these other modes are using, we could replicate them using the advanced settings in display options, instead of going through ADB/SETEDIT?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] hoss_n2:

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dnsp:
I absolutely hate the dull, non vibrant and washed colors of the S23 Ultra. Funny no Youtube "experts" talk about it, it's only "it's gorgeous blah blah blah". I think I'm going to send it back. Already miss my S21 Ultra, too bad it had a pos Exynos chip. If only the S21 Ultra had a Snapdragon here in Europe I would buy it again in a heartbeat.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] citytrader:
I compared a printed photo with what my phone shows (same Photopro TIFF file) and to my eyes the colors on the screen where similar to the print, I didn't see any dull colors and in Natural mode is what I expect, something near to reality.

The S23U display is pretty great, if you like extra saturared colors that has nothing to do with the real image, that is another story.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Gabboxxx:
Thanks it works with app setedit.

Is there any chance to get all options in the menú?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] 0oWow:
OP I really appreciate you finding this. I didn't know about SetEdit, but along with what you found, I found something else that might work even better for some. (see below)

For the longest time, I have been trying to find a way in Android to adjust RGB color levels beyond what the Settings app allows for. Even setting Display to Vivid and adjusting green all the way to the bottom, I still find that green is too prevalent, and makes the screen washed out. The problem is, without Root, I thought there was no way around this problem.

When I saw this thread, I downloaded SetEdit and started looking through it. I found three settings:

sec_display_temperature_blue

sec_display_temperature_green

sec_display_temperature_red

When the green level in Android Settings is at minimum level (in Vivid mode), it shows as "-11" in the SetEdit app.

I was able to successfully lower that further (to -25 in my case), and it worked!!! With no root!

This is awesome!! Thanks OP!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ivanox1972:
Hi, screen estete lovers. This thread is great, for me display representation is one of main things when choosing phone.

I tried all those things on s20 ultra and all works. One question for @0oWow - this fine tuning only works on vivid (as in main settings)- can be anything done to set rgb on natural ( or new, from hiden meni, BASIC mode?
