Why the cool 3D scanner in the chinese version has became a dull avatar maker? - Honor 8 Pro Questions & Answers

From examples from Honor V9 like:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ54gZQWU0M
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpaKcKCaRYU
and some others
Why the Worldwide version (8 Pro) only have a childish Mii-like avatars generator? It makes no sense at all.
Is there any way to enable the original 3D scanner?

Found this thread, that can be useful
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/themes/app-emui-official-3d-camera-effect-app-t3559123
Not sure if you can install the camera plugin without screwing the actual plugin or the camera app itself, but the Fuse app works OK with this mobile, so you can have almost the same functionality but not integrated within the cam app and maybe not using the 2 lenses and the other enhancements to get the best result.
Anyway, I find riciculous that Huawei decided to change the 3D scanner with the stupid and useless avatar maker.

I think maybe Huawei will implement the 3D scanner in the future updates of the phone.

They already had it in the Honor V9, which is the chinese version of the Honor 8 Pro. But in the Global version they changed that feature with the useless and childish avatar maker. No sense.

deal breaker: no multi-window

I use multi-window a lot on my Note 3.
I thought it was an Android feature.
Apparently it's a proprietary software not an Android feature.
Ok. So what's the point? Omni will come for the find 7a and support multi windowww
Sent from my X909 using xda app-developers app
The point is to generate a healthy discussion.
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they're is a way to get multi-window on the find 7.
I looked up omniRom. It looks like but it'll require rooting. I don't like rooting.
I'm not trying to be contrarian.
I was literally about order the Find 7 (not 7a) but then realized I have to sacrifice multi-window.
I'm using MW right now. Reading chats in what's app & writing this.
You couldn't have read too much because you cannot order the 7 yet. They haven't even announced when you might be able to put in your pre order. The outfit making the screens has just gone into production which implies the wait will be at the least several more weeks and more likely later. They answered an email asking with an early June estimate.
As to being a deal breaker that's in your court. I won't own a phone without root myself, that is one of my deal breakers. We each make our choices...
No one asked you if it a deal breaker to you.
It's a deal breaker to people who require a multi-window feature.
Clearly we have identified oppo fanboys.
Pre-production fanboys at that lol.
I never said I was going to buy the phone and haven't made up my own mind. I find it a little disconcerting that the app storage is quite low and surprisingly it cannot be easily reformatted as I expected. Or at least previous offerings and the 7A cannot be easily repartitioned. I also am a bit surprised that they are not shipping on 4.4X since a pilot version of it would have been available to them quite a while ago. Considering the fact that they have just finished their latest skin for 4.3 you have to figure it may be a while before you see 4.4X on this phone.
As to your response I don't need to ask permission on a public forum to speak my mind and I don't care what you did or did not ask. My response was directly to the point, you have made your choice and its as valid as mine. It is as you say a deal breaker for you but you are the only person you speak for, others can speak for themselves. I also you use multi window which I will simply add if I decide to buy in here. Many will do the same meaning its not a deal breaker for them either. Course some don't use it and don't care. We all make our choices. Think before you type.
Have you tried "Multi Window - Multi Browsing" in the play store. I understand it is a partial solution only.
I had a Samsung Galaxy Note 3, nice (never used S-Pen ever except to try it) but wanted 4.4 so bought an Sony Xperia Ultra GPE (Now that could use multi-window). Went to a new HTC One M8 (a phone again).
I will pick up an Oppo Find 7 (not 7a) when available. Specs look great (and obviously I'm a gadget geek).
So I would say try the "Multi Window - Multi Browsing" app on the Note 3, just to kick the tires.
Thanks Rudolph.

I will definitely install exposed, and that's a great solution. (Doh). The issue with exposed is that it requires root. It is a good reason alone to root (but there are other good reasons as well).

People can correct me if I'm wrong, but when you are rooted the ability to deny apps root requests isn't that a security plus.

Not yet, it's unofficial and not yet merged. I've been including it in the test builds but it won't be in nightlies.
(Why? Try using G+ when the device is in landscape... Or just do a portrait/landscape transition. Those are the two main issues that have prevented merging.)

So, just stick with your note 3 and leave us here playing with our device calmly.
We not really care about daily usage. We just play the device software.
When we getting boring with a rom, we change it to other rom. and that's it.
That is how the flasher live everyday. Never stick to one kind of features. lol :silly:

Huawei Mate 20 X can running Samsung Notes Apk??

But could there be a workaround?
I'm not familiar in depth with the Samsung Notes App, but for the core functionality you'd need the S-Pen APIs to be available on the phone, which is only possible on Samsung Phones/Tablets with S-Pen. I'm not sure if the notes app functions on touchscreen phones only (i.e. S10, S9 and so on). If it works, then it still might be possible to port it over, but the amount of work is still considerable and complex.
So as I said, the Mate 20X is no Note device. If you like the Note software, get a Note. Otherwise you're stuck with whatever is built-in or available on the play store.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wow. I really wish I could install the samsung messages app and samsung contacts app on the mate 20x. It would be perfect for me. Is there any way you might think of or any dev you think may be able to install messages and contacts?
.
I guess the sudden interest in that comes from the recent addition of handwriting recognition to the Notes app. There are alternatives, that you can use with Mate 20 X, if that's your cup of tea....

Doesn't work on the mate 20X. The app forces closes & never opens.

MIUI 12 India released!

Upgraded a while ago, here is my experience so far:
Speed
*Boot time is still around 30 seconds.
*Haven't noticed any lag in opening apps.
UI and smoothness
*Animations feel more fluid, haven't noticed any stutter when leaving animation speed at x1, lowering to 0.5x makes them a bit shaky.
*password lock keyboard has a facelift, now easier to use.
*New control center looks awful IMO, you lose info about how much data you spent today! Also, it feel very iPhonish.
*fingerprints got a bit inaccurate, adding them again fixed the issue.
*Scrolling speed has been reduced, and it feels like a jelly on slow swipes.
*Battery icon is now easier to read imo.
*There's a new gesture for switching apps, but it doesn't work on settings page, to figure!
*call recording is still there.
camera
*feels better overall
*colors are more accurate, and HDR is somewhat better.
*details have improved a bit in macro and ultra wide.
*focus peaking now can be enabled with auto focus which is a plus.
*Macro mode is now hidden inside the hamburger as if they're telling us not to use it much!
Multimedia
*Bluetooth still lags, in MX player you need to use HW+ or SW decoders. Some sources recommend using "the metronome" app from soundbrenner, it has some sort of latency fix inside the settings, but didn't work for me. Got to know my latency is about 250ms, though.
*need someone to confirm YouTube oversharpening issue has been resolved.
Will add more when I encounter anything. And let me know if you have any requests/questions

@H 1 Has the BT latency issue fixed in MIUI12?
Sent from my Redmi Note 8 Pro using Tapatalk
Their advertised privacy stats and notification features don't seem to be there though, security app does have an app behavior tab that can be accessed through activity launcher it has no data and UI has no such feature. Looks like it will be added in future MIUI 12 updates, or is the feature CN only?
@th1nd
I can't really tell, I have a pair of very cheap Bluetooth earbuds. I use wired ones mostly. Also, I have disabled all Google apps.
If it's of any help, latency in games is still around 300-500ms, but it feels a bit better watching content in newpipe and Firefox, latency feels less than 150ms.

Have you used adb to disable MIUI apps? Just tried the security page and I have the same issue. I have disabled many MIUI services. I'll try to reinstall them and see what happens.

Really? 300-500 is a lot! Like very much. I also prefer and use wired only but since I got OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z I refrain from using wired as BT seems more convenient while watching YT content and listening to podcasts. On AAC (Default codec for headset), my latency in YT is around 700-800 ms and even dangerously close to 1s in some instances! Whereas, on SBC (which I have to change everytime in Dev. Settings which is really frustrating), the latency is perfectly fine (less than 70 ms). But whenever I change it to SBC, the video starts playing after like 5s to match the audio afterwards but the audio is instantaneous and is unchanged. So, now I only hope that this terrible issue on default AAC is fixed in MIUI12.

No that dosent seem to be the reason, the "permission stats" and "permission counter" tabs are completely absent from the privacy protections tab. Our tab just has links to android 10 permission groups. If you sideload a version of the "security" app from the china beta rom (there on apkmirror) the stats and permission tabs appear but have no data in them. So thats why I think either these features are yet to be implemented or china only and unfortunately as indian mi community forums are banned there istn't any authoritative answer as to whether they would be implemented.
@Acc1234567
I have security app V4.1.2, sideloaded from apkmirror, not sure if it's global or Chinese.
Official MIUI site mentioned some features would be missing from certain devices (mainly super wallpapers, which aren't a big deal to me) but I don't think they mentioned anything about security app.
This needs a bit of investigation.
I intend to do a factory reset in the upcoming days. Will report if anything changes.
@th1nd
My BT buds are $5 knockoffs, with high latency on even SBC XD
From what I understand, high end BT buds have a low latency mode which trades battery life for lower latency.
As you mentioned, the device is supposed to measure BT latency and sync audio and video accordingly, which is the case on my Samsung tab A running android 8.1. There's even and option for that inside the settings! This should also be the case for offline games. But games played in real-time can only counter this issue by using wired headphones, or BT ones with extremely low latency.
Sorry for the long reply, but one last thing. I noticed that my BT performance improved a bit after disabling MIUI Bluetooth, then clearing the normal Bluetooth app's data.
You'd lose the ability to unlock device with Bluetooth, but everything else seemed to work fine.

Please help decide - MiUI dialer and messaging on PM2pro vs RN9proMax

Hi All
I have ordered Poco M2 pro recently (6/64) at a pre-exchange price of 12339 INR (Post exchange 11339)
I have the option to order Redmi Note 9 Pro Max (6/64) at approx. 12610 INR (Same phone not available for exchange here)
Two main questions and opinions I need from you please:
1) How much better is the Redmi note 9 pro max camera compared to Poco M2 pro? Is it worth spending extra for Redmi Note 9 pro max over Poco M2 pro?
2) Although, noone is mentioned it specifically, looking at some of the videos in youtube of Redmi Note 9 pro max post MiUI 12 update, it seems it retains the Mi dialer and messaging app. Is it correct or it also loses these and gets the google dialer and messaging apps? I guess Poco gets updated to google dialer and messaging apps. Please clarify on this. It is important for me to be able to use Mi dialer and messaging apps.
I am not much concerned about ads as I will anyway debloat both using MIUI debloater and disable all ads.
Please help decide which one I should go for.
Any other difference or something which I should consider?
Also, is there a known reliable way to install the Mi dialer and messaging apps on Poco M2 pro without rooting?
My device is updated to miui 12 and i don't think its on Google's dialer and message app..
Why it'll update to google dialer?? When it has its own OS..
Check SS below poco m2 pro
Probably you are not aware that all xiaomi, redmi, realme, oneplus new devices are coming with google dialer and messaging apps instead of their own dialers and messaging apps to comply with some european regulations. Only some country specific roms like that of indonesia retain miui dialer and messaging apps. Xiaomi has officially confirmed this will continue in future also. I saw review videos of poco m2 pro miui 12 update on youtube and the dialer and messaging apps have changed to google after the update.
You are using the stock rom or any custom miui rom? @abhi.s4u

Yes. Thanks for clarifying. Good to know m2 pro is not losing mi dialer. Recently launched poco x3 comes with google dialer in Indian also.
One more question. How is the speaker and headset audio quality. Heard some bad reviews about audio quality of m2 pro.
Neither its bad nor its good.. in the budget its okey..
One or two times i face earfone jack issue i mean sound didn't come in the earfone when plugged in..
Well its just random after restart its okey..

Question OnePlus Launcher

Maybe I didn't search hard enough, but anyone know if it's possible to install the OnePlus launcher on the Pixel 6 Pro? I successfully installed, but it refused to load, even one install that was reported to work on any Android phone. I'm using ProtonAOSP with gapps.
I bought a Pixel 6 Pro out of love for its superior night camera which is fabulous for catching northern lights here in Alaska, but I absolutely love the OxygenOS launcher on my OnePlus 8 Pro. It's a weird request, I know.
All I have to say is,"why?"
Coming from One+ and Samsung..... All users flash roms to come to a Pixel UI and you want a OP launcher on a Pixel? I'm stumped
I'd recommend Nova7 as it's a better fit for phones than OP launcher.
If it's a tinkering matter I totally understand,but, OP on Pixel?
You can also try lawnchair launcher 12. I was missing a few things after moving from 1+ 8 pro to P6 but lawnchair did the trick for me. Basically a pixel launcher with some more customization.

Which features exactly are you looking for?
There are several available launchers on a Pixel, I can't think of any feature set that OP has that is not available, since you can customize about anything, including icons and how animations/gestures work.
As others have said. What's the point?
Anyway, installing the APK will not be sufficient as the OnePlus launcher also relies on a number of native libraries.
You will need figure out exactly which libraries and make them available in /system/lib(64) via a Magisk module.
Too much hassle for what ...
Specifically, I really like this one touch close all apps button. It's a good visual decluttering for me versus memory issue. If I feel overwhelmed by everything I have open, tap the one button and it all feels clean again.

You can also try lawnchair launcher 12. I was missing a few things after moving from 1+ 8 pro to P6 but lawnchair did the trick for me. Basically a pixel launcher with some more customization.

I'll give it a look.
Closing the apps in that way is not recommended and actually worsens battery use. Doesn't do anything for memory use either really as the phone has plenty and manages it well enough. This is why it has been gotten rid of in later versions of Android.

And if you're rooted with lawn chair just use quick switch in magisk and you'll have all you need.

Eh, I charge it enough. It really is more of a psychological visual decluttering for me. I know, it's really best to let Android manage your open apps.

Maybe I didn't search hard enough, but anyone know if it's possible to install the OnePlus launcher on the Pixel 6 Pro? I successfully installed, but it refused to load, even one install that was reported to work on any Android phone. I'm using ProtonAOSP with gapps.
I bought a Pixel 6 Pro out of love for its superior night camera which is fabulous for catching northern lights here in Alaska, but I absolutely love the OxygenOS launcher on my OnePlus 8 Pro. It's a weird request, I know.

I remember using this on my pixel 2xl. Hasn't been updated in a minute though but it will do the job
One thing i like most about One plus launcher is to hide apps with fingerprint.
Left swipe to reveal but with fingerprint.
Is there any launcher which has this feature?
Check out Ruthless Launcher
Google Play Link
It has a clear all button on the left most page of the app switcher.
Also has app locker function with fingerprint unlock.
Dev is really responsive on Telegram and the app receives frequent updates.
It's customisable - app icons support, grid options etc, loads of features including At-A-Glance and Google Feed etc. Been using it for a few years now.
