Trying to install GCam, where can I get the latest patched boot image? - Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers

I'm following this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/guide-how-to-enable-camera2-api-t3851414
And it takes you to a thread with old boot images, and I was wondering if there were any ones that were more recent (i.e. January 2020 security patch). Or does it not matter if I'm using this method only to enable camera2api?
Thanks

Grab the latest stock Rom from here and download it (10.0.18.0 is Jan 2020) : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/fastboot-xiaomi-mi-a2-fastboot-images-t3824871
Then follow this guide until step 9 to get your own patched boot.img : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/guide-install-magisk-proper-support-ota-t3836952
It matters which version of the boot.img you're using, if you happen to use an older version, your device won't boot and you won't be able to do what you want.

Thanks for the help. But after reading that thread, it looks like a lot of people lost their data doing it, so maybe it's not worth it

Search for my comment in the same thread, I described the way you should follow to avoid data loss. With my method you won't lose your data. But also if this is your first time unlocking the bootloader, you will lose data. If you've unlocked the bootloader before then you won't have any issues. Cheers.

Go to developer settings in the Settings > System. If you can't see it there, you need to enable it first. To do that go over to About Phone in settings and tap on the Build Number several times, until you get a toast notification saying Developer settings are enabled.
Once you're in the developer settings, find the USB Debugging option and enable it. After you connect your phone and execute "adb shell" command, a pop-up will appear on your phone saying if you want to trust this computer, tap yes then you'll be good to go.
EDIT: I believe you tried to use 7zip for extraction, 7zip can only extract 1 archive at a time and the file you downloaded is compressed twice (tar, gz). WinRAR can decompress the file in one go. Final files have no difference so use whichever suits you best. Don't forget to use my method while locking the bootloader again. Cheers.

Hey! Don't want to open a new forum so I'm just curious which version of gcam you guys are using? Can someone suggest me a gcam? The ones I tried all have some bugs (for example: random freezing, slow motion video lagging etc.). Or there's not a single gcam that has all it's features working on mi a2 lite?
Currently I'm using GCam_v7.0.009-v4.4.front.hdr.working.

There is not a single gcam that has everything working currently, there are 2 reasons for this and lags :
1 - Our CPU is old, so it can't handle gcams' processing that well.
2 - There has never been a single gcam optimized for our device, except for hass31's gcam port. But that gcam's version is 5.1 and although it worked wonders in Oreo, it has focus issues on Pie.
The gcam you're using produces the best results on this phone right now, at least the front and back cameras work. You can try Urnyx05's gcam ports version 6, those will have back camera working, but the front cam HDR+/HDR+ Advanced won't work. If you downgrade to Oreo, you can use hass31's port. Or you can flash a custom kernel on stock Pie ROM, which fixes the focus issues. If you only have Cam2API enabled with a locked Bootloader, I'd suggest sticking to the gcam you're using right now, because it's the one that works properly. But feel free to test other gcam ports here : https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/

Thank you for your detailed answer! Guess I stay with the one I use for now. I'm a bit disappointed as the stock camera records slow motion but gcam don't ,but having an app that makes better quality pictures is more important. Shame xiaomi doesn't update their camera app so we could use theirs with Cam2API.

Yep, Xiaomi doesn't care about their AndroidOne devices, we learnt that the hard way. Meanwhile as I've mentioned the most stable gcam version out there is hass31's Mi A2 Lite optimised port. I'd suggest giving it a try, if you're willing to flash a custom Kernel on Stock. Because it checks all the boxes you've mentioned (including slo-mo), but it lacks Night Sight.

Not sure if anybody has tried this, sorry I don't have gcam enabled on my device so cannot test, but on my redmi note 4 that is almost the same hardware this one works really well

Gcam Port for miui 9

Can anyone provide me the links of those files that is necessary to use gcam port(protrait/HDR+) feature????
You can't. The used API is not supported by MIUI.
This works with MIUI except front portrait
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/...018.177470874.41362666__A7.0-8.1_MI5S_v2e.apk
Even with HDR+? Wow, I never thought they would implement it.

Does portrait mode really work under miui running android 7?!
Also, is the image fluid and smooth while using the gcam you linked to under miui?
I tried an older version of gcam with eu miui running android 7 in the past, and it was nowhere close to the way gcam works smoothly under los (especially los 15.1 running androud 8.1). Under miui the image was updated in a chppy slow manner indoors.
If all works well, please send screenshots with your settings of gcam in all the menus.
I am only using los15.1 for gcam, otherwise I'd love to return to miui...

Very cute kid!
I'm amazed this works under miui... I thought portrait mode works only on Android 8. Have you done anything special to get it to work like that? Does the image refresh fast while using gcam?
Can you please screenshot your version of miui from settings?
This changes a lot - I've been using los 15.1 only for the gcam, and have missed the miui rom which I much prefer and the panorama mode and time lapse of the miui camera.

It works exactly the same as in LOS 15.1, at least the version I put in the link (MGC_5.1.018.177470874.41362666__A7.0-8.1_MI5S_v2e.apk). As you can see from the file name, this apk is special for MI5s, both for Android 7 and 8.1.. Same refresh speed, colors, focus, etc.
The only difference is that in LOS everything works, and in MIUI the portrait doesn't work in the front camera. I think it can be fixed with an extra zip, but I don't need it because it's not important to me.
As for the installation, there is nothing special about it. You can install apk directly on MIUI Global or miui.eu without any problems.
I recommend that you make a backup, install MIUI and try it yourself. If you are not convinced, you can restore the backup

Update: I did all the above, but found that this version of gcam tends to overexpose the images greatly. I returned to my twrp backup of los15. Q, installed this gcam and compared it to the version I use under los15. 1 and it still tends to overexpose, so I guess I'm staying with los15.1 for now.

You go on link i send you and search for all 5.xxx (for pecise version look at sc) version of app and install one by one (skip no settings one), and you will find. If i find time i will search.
I am using MIUI 9.2.1.0 Global Stable (Android 7.0).

Android P on Redmi 5 Plus

For those who want to try Android P here are the how-to.
I just sharing the experience, I´m not involved in the project.
The sources will free-up for the ends of the month so maybe some dev could put his hands on it.
For now it´s unlikely unstable and with some bugs but usable for a basics and sharing some issues could be solved.
A good introducing for a better comprehension :
https://www.xda-developers.com/android-p-beta-port-snapdragon-project-treble-devices/
This is the general thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...ment/rom-android-p-developer-preview-t3816659
These are the steps for our device:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77101817&postcount=308
Maybe someone can wipe too system adding to the steps of wiping from recovery and only will stay vendor partition needed to boot.
Other links:
Treble rom base: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5/development/rom-cardinalaosp-t3774232
Recovery used for this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/re.../official-orangefox-recovery-project-t3807479
I tried before with the latest recovery provided for miui 10 (vince_treble_twrp-jay-port-v3), I formatted data to can boot as indicated for some users in the thread but never boot and never recovered the ability to see files and flash nothing more directly (but adb sideload) from this twrp version, any of the three no-verity/lazyflasher/antibootloop worked for this so I started again with Orange Fox recovery. (although any treble recovery could work following right steps indicated)
No need to flash callfix.zip.

I didn´t try many, for me it´s in beta level yet but as far as I know VoLTE is a global bug in all devices yet and camera2api it´s not working for me but maybe with other mods can work so in some devices it works, but we can expect that as many users and devs take part of this then we get more advance. I hope that users can share the experiences and so help others.
I use android p. And for me this gsi is much better than los 15.1 ... except for fingerprint. 2api camera works great! only first you need to flash .zip 2api, only after that install the camera application! The battery holds well, and is pleasant and smooth to use.)) I love the new from Google)

I got DP4 installed on the Redmi 5 Plus 3GB version. It does work and you can use it but there are some major problems and the rom is totally unusable.
- the launcher crashes constantly (pixel launcher isn't responding) so you lose your navigation and phone is unusable
- even when the launcher isn't crashed everything is so slow (20 seconds to open any app) and the pill switcher is 10 seconds to open
- no double tap to wake phone is a joke
- no fingerprint sensor at all
- no volte
- no camera
- google treble is full of bloatware that you are forced to download for the phone to work
- dark theme doesn't work on settings
All in all a total fail by google just like their new gmail interface, but well done to the developer who tried to port it.
Guys don't waste your time with this just install a normal custom rom.
If you must try it take a nandroid backup first and after restoring your nandroid backup there is a stupid bug in TWRP you have to use file manager to delete /data/system/locksettings.db to get back into your phone!

maybe you are right but atleast i get a hope that our device will soon be running Android P.

I got it to work, and it is cery smooth for a port. My main issue is the wifi keep disconnecting and random freezes on the os. Other than that everything works as smooth as it should even the fingerprint.

This app is originally named LineageOS Snap Camera, it used to be (and still) a very good camera app, however I didn't see the real snap camera on S7 ROMs yet.
You can report a bug to the ROM developer, I've tried my Snap Camera on Pixel Experience Q and the flash is working just fine.
Perhaps you forgot to change flash mode? Keep in note that not all AOSP ROMs have the same exact camera app, even though the icon might look alike.

That's really strange ...
I can advise you to update your Bootloader and Modem, I remember when I had Galaxy Note 3, using an older modem resulted in Camera malfunctions deeper than yours.
Last BL: G930FXXU8ETI2 | CP: G930FXXS8ETCZ
You don't need these exact version, just anything with U8/S8 that's more recent than your current ones.
Time to update ^^
After update, nothing change

Sad to hear that; it appears your device is one of those with a little bit DIFFERENT hardware, which requires drivers to be functional.
They can be gained through modifying the Kernel, of which you may use custom kernels and check.
You may use ThunderStorms, Moro, swap kernels of AOSP ROMs (like using boot.img of LineageOS 18.1 on crDroid 7.2).
If this doesn't work for you, you better chat with a developer for a more precise enlightenment.
You can simply disable/hide/uninstall it from adb shell... Easy way...
e/rom uses open camera and better than snap camera. The rom itself is based on Lineage OS MicroG and has OTA updates..

I have Used E rom for the last 2years and the only issue I ever had was the ota updates was broken for a short time and had to install them manually.Other than that I have been happy with this rom and still happy to use it.
My phone is a samsung s7 and it runs e rom great! .I also have a samsaug s4 mini running this rom.I can say for sure this rom runs great on samsungs.I have used lineage OS and for me E rom works better than llineage OS.and I am having a much better user experience .

Downgrade from ColorOS12.1 to OOS11 EU OP7T - Please, help me. :)

Hi everyone!
I need help, that's why I registered on this forum.
I have OnePlus 7T and I upgraded to ColorOS12.1 from this video. Unfortunately, this is a beta with Chinese menus and I don't like the new firmware at all. I would like to go back to the original OOS11 stable firmware for Europe, but i don't know how to do it. I tried MSM and ADB via CMD, but can't unlock Bootloader.
I am asking you for help, because I cannot use the phone and I no longer have the strength to look for a solution to the problem myself. Thank you in advance for any help.
Sorry for my English.
Best regards

Can I count on help, I really care about solving the above problem? Please.
Ok, the topic can be closed, I went back to stock rom OOS11 according to this tutorial. First I struggled with ADB, Fastboot, Google Android drivers and versions, and finally Qualcomm and the latter was causing problems in MSM. After updating the Qualcomm driver in Win10, MSM ran without errors and uploaded a new rom, version 10 for Europe, and then the phone update to 11.

I also updated it to that version, and if I was able to return it to the global ROM, the only thing is that now the gyro sensor is inverted. When I activate the automatic rotation all the applications work backwards. I've tried everything and can't get it to work. If I go back and install the ColorOS version, the automatic rotation works fine again, but unfortunately, since that version has bugs, it is not comfortable to use it for daily use. We will have to wait if it manages to solve this problem. Greetings!

Have you tried the auto gyro sensor, is it working fine?
True, I also have a problem with the gyroscope. I also noticed today that it does not preview a photo in the GCam, there is a black screen. I wonder, why put tutorials with beta roms, that are unstable and later create only problems that can't be fixed ?!

How did you get back to stock global rom, what specific versions were they? Maybe we need to try to upload another rom, or clear the memory to zero and then upload a new rom ?!
I found a comment under the video OnePlus 7/7T Color OS12.1, I wonder if it will work, but I don't know what the A9 and A10 mean, which are roms ?!

No, just use earliest oos10 msmtool for global
Thanks, I thought so too, but preferred to ask.There will be time, so I will get to work and let you know if it has helped. The worst thing is that I have already removed MSM, ADB, Fastboot and drivers.

You can flash persist.img only if you have your own backup of persist.img. Dont even think to flash someones persist. It's will break your fingerprint
@marsian4uk Thanks for the info, do you have any idea, how to fix auto rotation?

I know one way but you can lose widevine level. And there is a chance to broke fingerprint. At least, one guy broke his fingerprint when he use this method
Anyway I advice you to make backup of your persist.img (even if it broken, because in future you can fix this)
Found this instruction few days before.
In my case everything is good (except widevine level). So, let's start:
I extracted my persist partition, hex edited the lsm6dsm_0_platform.orient back to what was on OOS 11 and flashed it back. Orientation, sensors and fingerprint working fine.
Caution to whoever tries to replicate, you might hard brick your phone if you do something wrong.​
Here are the correct values:
@marsian4uk
Thank you for the good intentions, but I don't know how to do the above, I don't know anything about it.
What is the consequence of non-working this "widevine"?

You will be not able to watch Netflix in full hd
Same problema here!!! in global rom.
@marsian4uk Today I downgraded from OOS11 to the first OOS10 room on OP7T and it did not work, the application orientation is still bad, the camera also has a menu rotated by 90 'and takes photos and videos in the same way. If you have time and feel like it, I would be grateful for tips on how to make the above changes - I don't care about Netflix, because I don't use it on my phone anyway.

Okay but does it run Crysis?
I've been running it and everything seems to work ok
Links provided by you are loopy and I don't seem to find any link to the "firmware.zip" you have mentioned in your website. Please write some more details. I'm very excited to flash it
Edit: Found everything.
Hey @Its_Vixano,
Thank you for this release in the first place, I'm really happy with it. Seems to be stable so far after the few days I've been running it.
I have only noticed some minor UX bugs with the recents(/gestures) while using Trebuchet (I haven't experienced it yet after switching to Lawnchair), but a more important issue is that I cannot play audio on a Bluetooth device.
I tested it with several devices, they show up as connected, but they remain silent even on maximum volume.
My guess (from the logs and my experience) is that for some reason the bluetooth audio connection cannot be built up correctly, it seems like it gets interrupted every second or so.
Other than that, do you know if the camera quality is better with the stock MIUI camera app? If yes, maybe it would also be worth to include it in this ROM as well, since others are starting to include it, I figured it wouldn't be too much of a hassle.
I only meant these as suggestions/observations, if you need more information on the bug, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Are you sure is not caused by any system modification or modules flashed via magisk ??
I use everyday a bluetooth pair (AAC, Samsung buds live) without any issues

Thanks for the hint, I tried rebooting to safe mode so that all the 3rd party apps get disabled, and also disabled some system modifications manually (tasker, dev options), but these didn't help unfortunately :/
But now that you mentioned it's working for you, I thought that the reason might be that I flashed your ROM to the V13.0.9.0.SKOEUXM firmware I had installed previously. I will re-test with the V13.0.4.0.SKOMIXM firmware that you recommend in your guide as well, I'll get back with the results.
P.S: I have attached the installed modules list and the error logs.

I flashed it now and it fixed the problem, thanks for confirming that it was working for you.
Thank you for sharing this. I have a few questions. Is there a touch head option in fingerprint? Do banking apps give root warning? Camera app snap? Do you have any gcam you recommend or can we install miui camera?
Just pushed august ota
enjoy

The least i can do for banking apps is to include ih8sn on my builds (which i already do it)
You're doing a remarkable work. What about submit for official build?

who knows ?
Not sure where to ask this, I apologize if I'm asking in the wrong place. But how is the lack of the proximity sensor is handled in this ROM?
Do you face any issues when accepting calls or listening to WhatsApp audio messages?
Thanks for sharing your work.
Has anybody managed to get Google wallet working?
Flashed today, so far everything looks very good
Is it possible to get the stock Xiaomi Cam on this rom?
I need makro and ultrawide cam
Thanks a lot for this great Rom
I have a Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G NE (256gb DG - Global Version). I bootloader unlocked it after a week's usage. It is visible to ADB and Fastboot on Windows 10.
Ran into a bit of a problem following the flashing guide.
Downloaded the following files:
boot.img
192 MB17 days ago
dtbo.img
24 MB6 days ago
lineage-19.1-20220824-UNOFFICIAL-lisa.zip
1.1 GB17 days ago
vendor_boot.img
96 MB17 days ago
From the link. Successfully flashed boot.img, vendor.boot.img, and dtbo.img. It automatically selected _b as a destination on the phone. Attempting a reboot with power + volume up never got me to a recovery screen, only had the Mi logo flash before re-entering fastboot.
I re-read the instructions and there's a place where it is a little unclear as to if recovery.img is to be used for all phones or not despite only being in the ys1 repository. So I downloaded that and flashed it (successfully), it auto selected _a as a destination.
Phone still continues to reboot to fastboot, but now without the Mi logo flashing (guessing I blew away whatever was left of the factory ROM on _a with that last move).
Suggestions on what to do next? I'm stuck at a place where the phone is in fastboot mode and connected to a Windows machine with adb and the proper drivers but I'm guessing has no bootable recovery or ROM so sideloading isn't an option.
