[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Mrowkarz123:
And yet in low light situations out vision stops seeing color data as cones are less sensitive than rods. I've experienced this tons of times - astrophotography. I know how humam vision works.

But in photography, how does the B&W photography works so well then? Even you have shot B&W photos, so where is the "so important" color data then? Look at the example above, what gives you more important data for you as a photography, chroma or luminance channel?

You are still ignoring what I'm saying. I do agree that we get worse color than with standard bayer matrix. But I will never agree that chrominance sets a detail limit when you have higher res luminance channel, because it simply cannot. Luma channel won't improve color channel - that's true, but it will give uninterpolated luminance values to those pixels - and that matters, that does make a difference and do not ignore that.

Humam vision is very limited, it has hight concentration of cones in the center of our vision and in a daylight (photopic vision) only those contribute to vision (rods are saturated) so they contribute to color and luma values. If they wouldn't see luma value, the color data alone would be useless, even more useless as luminance alone (see the example above). It has also, as you said rods that are more concentrated around the center of the vision, they are much more sensitive to light (that's why they saturate in daylight, but works great at night), so we get monochrome vision in low light situations (scotopic vision), but it's not as good not only because it's around the center, but also rod system have less "resolution" than cone system in the center. Tho it's worth to note that in situation with like moonlight, both cones and rods contribute to the vision (mesopic vision).

So yes, you need color in a life - but it also comes with luminance anyway.

In photography - You can get away without color at all, heck, there are cameras specifically made for B&W photography.

And still we are talking about sensors that gives us both, chroma and luma, just with worse chroma, so talking about pure detail, when we combine it we do get more than chroma alone would limit if it could. And the test I've done show it. It wasn't meant to show if this is usable for everyday photography, it was only meant to show that you can resolve more details than 24/25Mpx and you do (yes, in 50Mpx mode from 48Mpx sensor it is interpolater, but it's only 2Mpx, that difference probably cannot be even resolved by the lens).
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] CHH2:
Nope. Not ignoring anything. I've said what I said and it still stands.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ijuanp03:
So I am following this thread but since I have no knowledge on sensors and whatnot, I want to know whether the main sensor used in the P8 Pro is a "real" 50mp. I am planning to buy the P8 Pro very soon and would want to take advantage of the full resolution.

I currently own the Moto Edge 30 Ultra with 200mp camera. Comparing side by side the 12mp binned vs 200mp full resolution, I can see a real difference. I turned off HDR to block any "software trickery" /multiple frame stacking and took a photo in a very bright lighting environment.

Note: In both modes, the shutter speed is exactly at 1/50 with almost the same ISO value at ~ISO500.

I took both shots and just cropped into the photos. Visually I can see the difference with the image which is obvious in the texts printed in the bottled water.

I do not have a conclusion. I just KNOW for a fact that the 200mp is indeed taking the full resolution.

With the said, I am pretty sure there is a difference in real world scenario using 200mp vs binned 12mp so I don't know what's going on with Pixel 8 Pro.

Hello All!

I'm trying to install a Android 14 GSI on to a A7 SM-T227U, but I am having trouble trying to decide the best way to go about this. I have followed the directions listed here:

[TUTORIAL] How To Unlock & Root Tab A7 Lite T220/T225, & Install LSPosed, Magisk, Mods

While some of these instructions are copied from other sources, I combined all the different things I learned, because no one guide was sufficient, and all needed additional info, so I expanded it all to one place. Part I is partly from...

xdaforums.com

I have successfully followed up to step 6 Install/Update Magisk on Tab A7 Lite

Just wondering what would be the next best step. I really don't know what I want, except a quicker debloated device with Android 14.

Any help would be great.

Thanks!

Hello, I have installed the ROM on the link I gave below on my device. Almost everything works smoothly, except for the fingerprint. It was also said in the article that the fingerprint does not work. But there is no problem when introducing the fingerprint to the phone, it just does not unlock. What is the reason for this and can it be solved?

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] LeScrewdriver:
Hi all. I'm using POCO X3 Pro 128/6 with MIUI 14 based Android 13. I'm having trouble with my band modes. I wanna use B20 800 MHz band because I'm having higher speeds in B20 + LTE_CA. For example: If my phone connected to carrier with B03 + LTE_CA / LTE, I'm having 0.15-0.90 Mbps but when my phone connects to carrier with B20 + LTE_CA mode, I'm having 75-80 Mbps. So I need to force my phone to connect B20 band and also using LTE_CA mode. How I do this? I didn't root my device. I used options named "radio band mode" and "MIUI band mode" but it didn't work. Because of this I need your help.

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review.

Instructions:

Checkout the lineage website for full installing instructions: here

Notes:

Only Clean Installation Please

Well, technically if you know what you are doing you can flash this over official LOS 20 via migration, however, this is hacky at best, and no support will be given whatsoever. Here be the demons.

Bug Report Without logs means nothing

Known issues:

Volume steps and curves in phone calls is messed up (VoIP is fine)

Display modes...?

Asus deciding to use an optical fingerprint sensor

You tell me

Reporting Bugs:

DO NOT Report bugs if you installed Xposed or weird Magisk modules

Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)

If it is a random reboot, grab /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops-0 and /sys/fs/pstore/dmesg-ramoops-0. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)

Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. Please also do not report known issues. Any bug not reported in the bug report format below may be ignored.

Changes over current LineageOS 20:

- Improved auto brightness

- More volume steps (media and call)

- An attempt to rework volume curves. Minimum volumes are much lower and more steps are allocated to lower volumes. Maybe fixes earpiece being overly loud

- Whatever LineageOS 21/Android 14 did

If you plan on installing this, I would appreciate feedback on auto brightness and volume curves plz thx

[ASUS ZenFone 8] Meepaco:
Hi. New build. Meow.

2023-11-18 (Unofficial): Download

Changes over previous build:

- Updated volume curved again. They should be more linear from 0 -> 60%. Headset volumes should be more consistent amongst system, media, call, etc.

- Fixed absolutely offensive media audio quality when in a call

- Selectively merge parts of Kirisakura kernel

- Removed max cached apps override (use Google's default 1024 vs 64

- Removed non-working colour modes

- Probably more I forgot to mention

Edit: Fingerprint doesn't work with lower brightness

Edit 2: Never mind, it appears it does work. I hate optical fingerprint sensors.

Just a quick question before I install this rom, the official LineageOS 20.0 recovery works with this unofficial LineageOS 21 release?

Because I remember accidentally trying to install LineageOS 20.0 with LineageOS 19.1 recovery and it didn't work.

As the instructions point to official quide but official quide is currently made for LineageOS 20.0 and LineageOS 20.0 recovery.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Meepaco:
Yeah, I sideload'ed with 20's recovery fine. Assuming you want to preserve data, you likely need to do the key migration process https://wiki.lineageos.org/signing_builds#using-a-script

### Changes over previous build:

- Kernel ricing

- Undervolt & underclock GPU. You're not sustaining anywhere close to 840mhz lol​

- KSU​

- A bootimage with no modifications is available​

- Changed volume configs (again)

- Per app volume control (can't disable, toggle doesn't work)

- Fix DRM

- Relax thermal limits and reduce boosting

- Maybe better performance maybe more stutters, maybe better battery, maybe your phone catches fire, who knows!)​

- 2023-12 ASB + whatever the gigachads at LineageOS did

In short: passing BASIC is done with any module. For DEVICE, look up PIF/ih8sn with custom props. The hard part is finding a set of props that is valid. I'd share my own but blah blah high risk google will ban it with many people using it.

I don't remember if BASIC passes out of the box, eh, I'll update this again mid February and hopefully auto brightness magically fixes itself...

I flashed the rom. Tried it for a couple of days. In my use everything seems to be working good except the volume call audio level is still way too loud. I put it to minimum level and still have to keep the phone one inch away from my ear when talking to someone (normal phone calls).

VoLTE: Working good (stays on 4G when making calls, network: MOI/DNA Finland).

Call volume: Broken: too loud (even at minimum volume level the call volume is too loud).

HD calls: Working good (tested with VoLTE only).

Bluetooth: Working good (tested it in my car playing Internet radio).

WiFi: Working good (tested it on 5G WiFi network, WPA2).

Banking app: Working good (Nordea ID, Finland).

Google Pay/Wallet: Working good (for now, bought some groceries with no problems).

Auto brightness: Working good (maybe when going from bright room to dark room it takes a bit longer for the brightness to adjust, about 2 seconds sometimes, but it's good. Going from dark to bright it adjusts fast.)

Time of testing June 15th - 16th, 2024.

ROM: sake-2024-05-31-r3-gms-ksu-signed-FULL.zip

Recovery: Meepaco's included boot.img (LineageOS recovery v21)

Root: Yes: Magisk 27.0 (with modules: Systemless Hosts 1.0 + PlayIntegrityFix v15.9.9 by chiteroman)
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Meepaco:
Is it louder than previously on LOS20?

If so, for regular phone call call volume see if you can raise to max (or one step below max) and back down. It should get reach LOS20 minimums

There's ~4 real call steps, and those are at the top of the 12 step slider I have set here (LOS20 has 4). If you enter the call while below top ~4 range, it will default to something higher than minimum.

That being said, yeah the LOS20 minimum is too high to put close to your ear, no idea how to resolve that. Something dramatically differers from VoIP I guess.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] toejam119:
There indeed seems to be different top steps in the volume. I set it to loudest first, then made a call then dropped it 4 steps down to reach the quietest but it still was too loud, had to keep it one inch away from ear. I'm 95% sure the quietest I can get it here is the quietest I could get it on Official LineageOS 20. Both too loud.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] abs213:
Good afternoon, colleagues.

I have long wanted to change the firmware of LOS20 to another firmware to have an undervolt and so on.

But also for a long time I am confused by the link to the installation instructions.

The question is as follows - the instruction https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/sake/install/ mentions flashing only vendor_boot.img + boot.img. And the firmware also includes dtbo.img + migration.sh + super_empty.img + vbmeta.img. Where should I flash them?

And besides, I see the migration script. What and how to do with it? Should it be run and if so, when?

This is a question in two distinct parts, each part of which is intended to solve the stated problem set.

What no-root free & adfree real OTA FM/AM tuner app do you use?

If you use Spirit1, how did you build it from the src code?

After running a comprehensive search, I found only this free adfree FM radio tuner on F-Droid (but I belatedly found out it requires rooting).

SpiritF (requires root) "Use headphones as antenna for FM radio"

free,adfree,gsffree,FOSS

<https://f-droid.org/packages/fm.a2d.sf/>

And after running a comprehensive search on the Google Play Store repository, I found this free adfree gsf? supposedly over-the-air FM tuner app (but belatedly I found out it required the Internet - so they lied).

<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.liveradio.fmradio.radiotuner.radiostation.amradio>

On this forum I found Spirit2 but it apparently requires root (my Android phone is unrootable).

Spirit2 Free (requires root) is an Over-The-Air (Real) FM Radio application for Android.

<https://xdaforums.com/t/spirit1-spirit2-real-fm-radio-general-thread.1059296/>

Digging further, there seems to be a "buildable" spirit1 set of open source code (but it appears to also require root).

Spirit1 (Seems to also require root)

<https://github.com/mikereidis/spirit2_free/blob/HEAD/README_OPENSOURCE_BUILDING.txt>

Eve so, there's no tutorial (that I know of) for building that code on a typical users' Windows PC. So we are stuck... at least at the start point.

In summary...

What no-root free & adfree real OTA FM/AM tuner app do you use?

If you use Spirit1, how did you build it from the src code?
