mi camera - Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers

I used my friend phone(Mi A2),opened camera and found that he has many options in manual mode and 2 for my Lite, so why XIAOMI did that and is our phone doesn't support these options?!

A2 camera hardware is waaaay better. So is the app that comes with it. If you want the same app your friend has, you have to install Magisk and download a module called Xiaomi Mi A2 camera. I guess you'll have to download the camera2API enabler, too.
I have it. However, it doesn't show the "lens" option. But everything else, is there.

It's pretty easy and straight forward if you follow the steps carefully. You just have to read it carefully, more than one time, and see if you understand every single step you have to do. If you don't, ask before starting. Pay special attention to the numbers (versions and so). Then, once you have all you need and you understand it all, you can go for it. If not, and you don't have any experience tampering with android phones, stay clar until you can be without a phone for a couple days. In my experience, nothing really bad ever happens. But true is that your phone might be useles for a couple days if you mess up in one important step (unlikely). But there is always a solution. Just gotta ask and do some digging and you'll sort it out.

Anyone willing to guie me through root and install custom ROM?

I always have a hard time figuring these things out. I don't ever know if I did it correctly and I have to spend hours looking up videos on the exact process to follow. Anyone willing to guide me through VOIP (like skype, mumble, or teamspeak) to root my Note and install a new ROM?
I have the SM-P600 with Kernel 3.4.39-2040736 [email protected] #1
I'd be willing to gift you some League of Legends skins (NA Server) for your time
Ok I figured it out. Only took about 3 hours.

Sure, whoever needs help. I'm going to guess you don't need help because according to your signature you already have the Note 2014 so you probably already rooted it. If you need help reply to this and send me your contact info.

No, I haven't rooted my Note. I'm waiting for the compelling reason. In the past, the motivation was easy. The Note has been snappy and I kinda like this version of TouchWiz so replacing the ROM is not a motivation.

You don't have to install a new ROM, you can keep the stock one if you like it.
The compelling reason is the same for any root: To give your device added functionality. Remove bloatware, add cool features like app data backup and ad blockers, and add any app to the Samsung Multi Window feature (and have more than 2 apps open if you want). And rooting takes about 30 seconds to do.
What's not compelling about that?

Bloatware hasnt slowed me down so I don't need to remove it. I've never used and ad blocker and don't find mult-window useful. I do miss Titanium Backup but Helium works, sorta. I'm still waiting for compelling. I don't really want to trigger Knox if I don't have to.

Manual mode?

Hello! I'm thinking about getting a new phone and i'm on the fence about getting a used pixel or a new Mi A2 lite. I was wondering if the Mi A2 lite has manual mode and if I can modify shutter speed and so. I googled about it and some web pages say that it does and some other say it doesn't. Can anyone confirm this?
Thank you

To unleash camera capability you must first root and follow a few steps. Camera on mi 2nd lite is ok and is great for sub $200 phone, but I think the pixel probably has the better camera quality if that's your reason.
Edit
That said I really like my xiaomi and am very satisfied with what I spent.

Rooting won't mess up OTA updates? I mean, the camera is important to me, but if rooting will enable manual mode and camera2 api, then I guess I don't mind if the Pixel has a little bit better camera

Yes and no. It can mess ota, but there are guides here that show how to update easily. Personally can't vouch for updating with root, I tinker too much in the system to allow it... but I have restored the phone with miflash and stock img several times and updated to current and root again.
The only downside right now for me is the lack of backup and restore in available twrp

LED Notification

So, my oneplus 7T has just arrived yesterday. I only come to know that the phone doesn't has LED notification today. Do I miss something that can replace the functionality of LED notification?
Thanks before.

So I'm new to this forum as I've only received mine yesterday. But is there any detailed guide on how to root this device? I have hd1900 with 10.0.7 OOS. I've browsed the guide section but it is for 10.0.3. Thanks.

the concept is the same as 10.0.3
you need to install magisk canary app, set OEM unlock and adb in developer options in phone, then find the correct 10.0.7 magisk-patched-boot.img file from the forum then flash with adb
Just installed aodNotify by Jawomo on playstore. It's an early access app(not everyone will be able to download just yet). It's just fantastic!! I bought the pro version (less than a dollar). No battery drain, absolutely does what you intend to. Highly recommend it!

Please check on playstore. It clearly says its for one plus(actually 8). Anyways i have been using it flawlessly. Y don't you try it for yourself and see..

Thanks for sharing. I guess the app developer needs to update the app's description then, as it still lists specific Samsung devices as the only ones with which it will work.

Question Should I install custom rom on my new phone?

how much difference does it make if I install custom. I have pretty good experience so far with miui and I like it because it have many features and customisations. Which custom rom would you recommend me to install.

If you like Stock MIUI, you'll like the Xiaomi.eu Custom ROMs. They provide the latest MIUI straight from the China ROMs (they always get updates first) + Improvements + it's debloated. Xiaomi.eu also provides Weekly ROMs (Beta builds), with updates every week.

You do have to wait 1 Week to unlock the bootloader after the request ^^
I'd totally recommend flashing a custom, when I flashed arrow os I noticed how it was way better than miui on an overall level.
Yeah, I think most developers are Indians now, but most of design are not far different. In my experience, very bad support too.

No, I think you misunderstand.
Firstly, you have to request a Bootloader Unlock using Mi Unlock. It'll tell you the countdown (which will be 6 days and 23 hours).

I have requested it says I havee to wait for a total of 168 hours, right? It says I better not press it again or it will reset to default 168 hours. It won't tell you "You have remaining 24 hours to go" the next time you press unlock.

No, it won't reset, don't listen to such people.
Back when I unlocked mine I checked a few times during the countdown, and it would say "Error: X hours remaining" or something like that. So I think it really does show the countdown. ^^

Well, you can't blame them as their translation from Chinese is indeed rather confusing. Anyway, I got mine reset because I had itchy hands to play around with it and something went wrong so I had to hard reset it, I think if you logout from the device then it will reset, right?

If you like miui then stick with it why go through the hassle of installing another rom, install xiaomieu its better than stock miui. If you really want to try custom roms, i recommend try evolutionX.

HAHAHA, I actually dont even felt like doing the 168 hours anymore, probably keeping it locked in case I don't get stuck trying to use for official procedures. But man, I must admit XiaoMi devs are such dirty bastards, I mean they do not have any sort of tidyness. Do you know where they keep the themes? Where should i place the .mtz theme file I downloaded? I hope it does not require me to unpack it and insert to each folder respectively.

I actually didn't literally touch it, I just accidentally screw up by uninstalling some apps with weird names (first time XiaoMi user) It is shocking when I compared to XiaoMi with 400 preinstalled apps total and my HUAWEI only had just a little over 200. Now I'm trying to look around finding where got answers to MIUI theming mechanism. I dont know where they place it its just invnisible.

Question OnePlus 9 Pro LE2123 Android 12.1 C64 Problems.

OnePlus 9 Pro LE2123 Android 12.1 C64
Friends, help me.
For over a year, after switching to Adroid 12, only problems. I already wrote about it on the OnePlus forum, but as a rule there are only mocks that I can't use my phone to reset, clear the cache, etc. It doesn't help.
On the phone not working:
1. The photo has no latitude and longitude. There is only the name of the street (and the wrong one, the
neighboring one).
There is no Google Minimap as before.
2. The Task Manager does not close all open applications. There is always one left. And this is extremely
stressful.
3. In a private safe, the photos do not rotate horizontally.
4. Step counter counts steps. There are no kilometers under the step counter.
5. When touched, the phone does not show the current time. You have to tap 2x hard for it to display the time.
6. The notification sound of SMS, washing machine, dryer, coffee machine is the same.
This is pathetic and abnormal!
I tried by all means to assign the sounds in A12. I have not found a way.
Is there any way to fix this?
I don't want to go back in development and go back to Android 11.

The downgrade is very simple. But Android protection will be old
Go for a custom ROM, AOSP these days is very stable. u can even get the android 13 rom already from StagOS or Xtended (if u want more customizations, as the stagos team didn't fill in the horns yet) which r more stable than the OOS 12.

Recently, I was thinking about putting my phone in for warranty repair. Problems with the proper operation of the application began with changing A11 to A12. I went very far after these problems until the first version of A11 that is to: OnePlus9ProOxygen_22.E.08_OTA_0080_all_2105011323 The phone was updated OTA up to version A12 C: 44. That's when the problems started. I did this cycle 2x. Always after C: 44 the phone lost these 5 functions. So it's not C: 64's fault. C: 64 suggested Oxygen Udater. I installed hoping that all bugs would eventually disappear. Unfortunately not. Everything worked fine when I returned to A11, except for the old Android security.

It's good that you're fully stock, I don't know how OnePlus would feel about updating your phone via oxygen updater.
Would you consider putting your phone in for warranty, before you do find the truth about if OnePlus would accept your phone with C64.

Very thanks AndyC76!!!
I did a downgrade to the factory version.
Via OTA I came to C.
However, all 6 issues persisted.
There is still a bad taste in using the OP 9 Pro.
