You need to install Magisk and install camera2API for gcam to work. To do so, use the search bar for this device. There are pretty neat tutorials on how to install magisk and gcam. Let me know if you cannot find them, but please, try.
So, first, install Magisk and root your phone (alltogether). Then, download and install camera2API with the magisk manager app. Then, install a gcam app. And that's it. Post any doubts in the corresponent thread.
Since you are new, you must know a couple things (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
Magisk is a tool to root you phone (and much more). It also has "modules" to "tweak" your phone from within (eg.: camera2API enabler)
To root you phone is to gain access to the belly of the beast. To be able to modify things otherwise locked. For you and for the allowed apps, so be careful with what you grant root access to, afterwards.
To flash something means to install somethin into the flash memory (just follow the instructions for this one).
Fastboot is a "state" o "mode" that your phone gets into, where Android haven't started yet, and it's ready and waiting for instructions on how to proceed (or install) from a PC (usb). You can get into it holding vol- and power with your phone switched off.

[ROM][P905][P555 Port] 6.0.1 TouchWiz 20170801

I'm not responsible for any damage to your device of any sort.
By flashing this you take responsibility of anything that happens.
Process at your own risk!
This firmware was developed for the p905. It doesn't apply to the p905v at this time because it's bootloader locked and a custom recovery isn't possible.
If you want to check firmware - please make backup. Better to store all partitions, at least efs and may be modem.
This port based on firmware for Samsung Galaxy Tab A & S Pen (SM-P555) http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_tab_a_&_s_pen-7443.php
Based on:
libs and bins from original latest SM-G900F (Samsung s5) firmware (G900FXXS1CQD4)
framework from original latest SM-P555 firmware (P555XXS1BQA1)
Instructions
1. Install custom recovery
2. Download the zip - firmware
3. Backup all partitions (it least efs) and store somewhere - it need to do - because you can loose imei
4. Full wipe all
5. Flash firmware
First boot will be very long (10-12 minutes).
Known Issues
- error on search cell provider
- send sms
Important
After booting up in settings wizard, Be sure uncheck diagnostic data
If you already checked it, Settings - General management - Report diagnostic info - off then reboot
It can help, if you have gsm issues.

Bro, you are the best dev ever! And also amazing person!
Thanks for this awesome rom!
Hi, thank you very much for your work.
I'm going to install it and see how it works.
Can I install it with DualBootPatcher?
Amazing work, thanks! Almost all working, just using external keyboard I have some issues with slow BT connectivity. Ah, how to root this? I tried with SuperSU, Cf-autoroot (for p555) and Kingoroot, nothing works :/

Valera, take a look in screen off memo (when we remove the spen with screen off), resolution is wrong (smaller). I'm using daily your rom in my GT-P905M and it's answering fine and very fast. Thanks
VERY GOOD ROM FAST AND STABLE THANK YOU.
I SEEM TO HAVE ONE ISSUE HELIUM BACKUP IS NOT COMPATABLE WITH MAGISK MANAGER I CANNOT GET ROOT privileges.
HELIUM IS ALWAYS ASKING FOR USB CABLE AND PTP MODE.
I CANNOT RESTORE MY BACKUPS .

PREVIOUS ROM [ROM][P905][N7 Port] HELIUM WORKED PERFECTLY
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED THANKS

my main problem as i quoted is helium backup .
titanium backup i rarely use but i could not get it root priviliges the first time i installed. now i am getting app not installed.
both apps worked perfectly with [ROM][P905][N7 Port] 6.0.1 .
problem is magisk
thanks for rom, work well, but I got issues with smart view or screen mirroring, it connects but then ended right away. is there anyway to fix this? thanks
A big thank you to Valera1978 after months and months of overheating , blue screens , and rebooting.
Finally no more issues with this rom for the the above mentioned problems thank you.
how ever i still cannot get helium root priviliges from mgaisk
Screen mirroring
Does anyone know if screen mirroring works on this rom?
Thank you in advance.
Great rom very smooth and fast! You are awesome for doing this!

thanks for your reply and i am sorry if i am being a little confused. i am talking about
Helium - App Sync and Backup.
with superuser it asked for root priviliges and i used it to restore and backup without a pc.
now i need a pc the usb cable connected and ptp mode . i think is someting to do with MAGISK.
thanks
@Valera1978 you are so awesome and I am so glad you are developing these roms this seems to be the smoothest yet! I have maybe a dumb question though is flashlight already done and I messed up or are you waiting to finish the camera video and Mic or something like that and including it with that update? Also I hate to even ask bc I have been trying to learn to port roms and I realize it's a lot of work so much so I may never get it right but I was wondering if you could include a few features or point me in the direction of a tutorial to include them myself? Magnify and gif maker in air command would be great but I would really most like the ability to include more apps in the air command menu like you did with the n7 port. I downloaded magnify and the screen record for gif maker but no luck doesn't even show up but s translate did. Also if anyone would like it there is an app available that is nearly identical to the edge screen in the play store if you miss that feature from the n7 port. There is a free version and a pro version. It works really well. Again Valera thank you so much for this amazing rom and I really like the inclusion of magisk and the ability to use systemless root and systemless xposed. I can now hide my custom rom and root privledges from the apps i use that check for them! Again thank you so much!

Could anyonw tell me how to install the kernel? I downloaded a zip file. Should I install the zip in the same manner as the rom?
Is the kernel necessary or could I skip it?

Stock-based Nubia UI 5.0 v3.08 ✓Debloated ✓100% functional GApps ✓Magisk

Here you are my last modified ROM based on latest update v3.06. Now I can say that GApps are 100% functional, I tested near every Google app (Keep, Games, Movies, Earth, Maps...) and worked without any issues. How could I make this possible? This is a secret, but a friend help me
FEATURES:
- Removed some bloatware apps.
I am going to release soon a harder debloater to remove some other apps and in next versions maybe I will add Aroma.
- Magisk root manager.
You can use pay apps and others with this root manager.
- GApps completely functional.
As I said before, now they are working without issues.
I also made a little change and now notifications should appear correctly, without delays...
DOWNLOAD 3.06:
Mega -> https://goo.gl/BzdxBf
Yandex mirror -> https://yadi.sk/d/C0KmSl1o3N9Ygb
GDrive mirror -> https://goo.gl/4o1XZm
DOWNLOAD 3.08:
MEGA -> https://goo.gl/DD9v4s
DOWNLOAD 4.06:
GDrive: https://goo.gl/fMtzBm
INSTRUCTIONS:
1.- Wipes of data, cache and dalvik.
2.- Flash the ROM.
3.- Reboot.
4.- Enjoy!
CHANGELOG:
- 4.06 update
- New 4.06 base.
- Flashing script modified to avoid error if /system partition is formatted before installation.
- Magisk updated to latest version: 15.3 Core and 5.5.5 Manager.
- New custom settings header.
- Some little changes in build.prop
Maybe I forgot some other little things
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- If the flash process fails with some error, it's because you didn't follow the previous instructions, so you know... This won't happen in 4.06 now.
- If you are having trouble getting your Google account the first time, try again and be patient, it works.
- Remember to give all the permissions to GApps, to avoid problems.
- It probably will not pass the SafetyNet test, to pass it you just need to install the Universal SafetyNet Fix module.
CREDITS:
A lot of thanks to my friend Fransua1981, who helped me a lot with fixing the GApps' problem.

Of course, you only have to do the wipes that I said.
Good job !
how did you install magisk because me its a bootloop on the last version by twrp?
First of all thank you for your efforts and contribution.
I am still not sure if you are using 3rd Party Recovery or the OEM recovery to flash your rom.
I am very hesitate with my Z17 which has been flashed with 3rd Party Recovery and Rooted with SuperSU.
It has been revealed in reference to http://bbs.nubia.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1001481&highlight=root, the root will be lost after you wipe off data.
Assuming I use 3rd Party Recovery to flash your rom. SuperSU will be replaced by Magisk but the device is still not rooted after being wiped off data. and i cannot use the 3rd Party recovery to root the device as it will reinstall Supersu.
Please advise how to resolve this issue....
Thank you.

I don't understand you, but if you follow the guide to flash, you will have functional root with Magisk.
@ arceoxis : Thanks for your work.
Because I'm not able to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP, the only things I can do are Wipe user data and Do a factory reset with the stock recovery.
Is it sufficient to install your ROM ?
Can I flash your ROM with the stock recovery tools ?
Thanks

You have a guide with how to unlock bt and flash TWRP. You need TWRP to flash custom ROMs, stock recovery only can flash stock ROMs.

Thanks arceoxis, I know that guide... May be my configuration is "special" or my phone is "special" (or both) everything I tried doesn't work (see my last tests here).
I tried on 4 different machines (2 Win 8.1 x64 pro, XP pro, XP mediacenter and 2 linux (Mint Cinnamon)
fastboot always hangs on fastboot oem unlock...
I'm not sure it is possible to flash TWRP without unlock
I'll try again this evening (with the 3.06 stock) :
* factory reset (via parameters)
* wipe data, via stock recovery
* wipe to factory (I don't remember the exact item, I don't have the phone with me) via stock recovery
* flash the last 3.06 stock ROM
* "rewipe" (is it necessary ?)
... and try to unlock and flash TWRP again
<EDIT>
Done...
Parameters => reset to factory (add format user space)
reboot
reboot to stock recovery
wipe : user data and cache
reset to factory again
reboot
the phone started as a new one
install some applications (eg. firefox to have standard browser)
start adb session in administrative mode
unlock : ok
twrp : ok
restart the phone in normal mode : ok

I have successfully flashed your rom to my Z17 without issue with Gmail which I previously had. This is a good news. However the bad news are below
1. I cannot log in NUBIA ACCOUNT;
2. I installed ' Google News and Weather ' from Google Play Store. It requires me to check internet connection ( I know internet is connected) and nothing is coming.
3. I cannot install Bankwest (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=au.com.bankwest.mobile&hl=en) and it remind me that 'This app is incompatible with your device'. But I know the bankwest was successfully installed on my device previously.
Can you please investigate and advise?

Band locking for Nubia UI 5.0
Nubia z17 is best phone but in Nubia UI 5.0 Modem driver has Algorithm modified by Nubia Team which continuously change LTE band for best signal & best speed ,which is good only on paper and very good effort but practically not good because every time band change Data connection & VOLTE (HD) connection off & on so if you are calling then call drop & if you are in internet connection lost. So BAND Locking is must in settings for Nubia UI 5.0
At least in India without Band locking , i can not use Reliance JIO LTE it has band 3,5 & 40 , and NUBIA UI 5.0 change band 3 to 5 & 5 to 40 , or 3 to 40 any time continuously.
I use Network Signal Guru Application with ROOT ,
So if any nubia z17 users face this difficulty please use Network Signal Guru App with ROOT your phone.
I think Nubia team must give band locking option in setting in next update.
Please forward this problem to Nubia Team China.
Thanks

How to Download Google Camera for Redmi Note 5 (Global) without root?

I got RN5 (global) which has Android 8.1.0.OPM1.171019.011 / MIUI 9.6.4.0
I would like to install google camera to have nice photo quality like pixel.
Came across this article which says we can do it without need to root.

Yes, you can get Gcam to work on your device by using these steps, If you don't wanna root your device.
Though rooting your device will make the process 5x easier, it's up to you. ?
Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with.
Have a nice day
You have to unlock BL to do:
- Install twrp recovery
- Flash CameraAPI2 enabler zip file
- Install GCam
But if not root, you can't take front HDR+ Enhanced and Portrait.
If you root you can solve front cam problem.
I don't know why you don't want root. If something relate to finance apps, magisk hide will pass easily!

I don't know why you don't want root. If something relate to finance apps, magisk hide will pass easily!

Do you have working hdr enhanced in every light conditions? Camera is working for me only in daylight scenes. Rear works but front doesn't.
Redmi Note 5 global.

I got RN5 (global) which has Android 8.1.0.OPM1.171019.011 / MIUI 9.6.4.0
I would like to install google camera to have nice photo quality like pixel.
Came across this article which says we can do it without need to root.

Wondering if anyone has done these steps or any similar steps for ref?

Yes you can, take a look here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/themes/gcam-root-flashing-twrp-t3813230
Yeah you can do it but you need to unlock your bootloader at least if not root ...if you unlock your bootloader then you can temporarily boot twrp and by using you can enable camera 2 api and thus,install gcam
You can use ADB on MIUI to enable Camera2 API, which works without root.

Anyone got ARCore working on this phone?

As we already know our phone doesn't support ARCore but there's a way to enable it on unsupported phones here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/ar/
Even tho I did what it said there I couldn't get it to work and every time I open an AR App or I try to open the Playground the app crashes. Did anyone manage to get this work on our device? If yes how?
Might work on custom ROMs but I'm interested in the stock PIE ROM.
Thanks!
Have the same problem. Did everything they said on the site. AR+ option enabled on pokemon go, but whenever I tried to use it, the screen went dark and crashes.
Would be nice if someone says that is able to use arcore right now in this phone. I wonder if it got patched
I know you said that you're interested in stock ROM, but that's the thread that pops up when people google anything related to ARCore and Mi A2 Lite, so I'm here to let everybody know that I got ARCore working on this phone using custom ROM called Pixel Experience. Every AR app I tried works except for Playgound. You can find it here on xda-developers. I couldn't reproduce these effects on stock ROM.
arcore enabler on magisk and voilá! (i recommend use the 1.5v zip file, the 1.6v crashes safety net!)
It doesn't work. Every time i open Playground app or any other AR app it crashes.
I did everything - Magisk+ arcoreenabler(both version 1.5 and 1.6) and installing Arcore and Playground app.
I'm on Pie stock.
Any help?
+1
I'm also trying to get ARCore working on my A2 Lite but still nothing... I want to install the Measure app, which needs ARCore, but every time I try to open, it crashes. Has anyone found a solution?
For a while I was able to run ARcore following these institutions, but at the time my device was on Android 8 but now after I have upgraded to Android 9 it doesn't work at all.

Right now I'm using an GSI version of android 10 for our device and all AR apps including gcam playground are working fine(maybe a little bit laggy in playground camera, but maybe it depends on which version of gcam you are using) Maybe these days if i have some free time ,i'll reflash stock rom and look for a solution

I installed the pixel experience rom but it still didn't work.
Guys, I made it work at june 19. I forgot to share here. Everything relationed to ARcore was working, even playground. My response is in this thread for whoever got the same issue:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/help/arcore-support-mi-a2-t3900879
Hey there, I remember I had got ARCore working A2 Lite. After flashing the module through Magisk, you need to install the ARCore app from PlayStore from here : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.ar.core
It should work afterwards, but Pokemon might not work, as they check for rooted/unlocked devices to prevent cheating.

You just have to go to "magisk hide" inside magisk app and add pokemon go in there
Arcore is working!!!!!!!!

Ok, I'll explain it to you very simple. Tell me if you don't understand me or if you want an explaination with detail.
(Continue at your own risk. I don't have any responsibility for bricked devices in case you don't know what you are doing!!!)
1: Downgrate your android device to the latest version of android oreo(8.1.0).
2: Root your android.
3: Install Magisk Manager.
4: Download and install the magisk module "ArCore/Playground Patcher".
5: Use a terminal emulator to enable camera2 api.
6: Install google camera port for mi a2 lite (or mi a2 if your device is a mi a2).
Done! Now you can play any ar game or install ArStickers for Google Camera(Ar Stickers is an older version of Playground for android 8)
Warning: Google Camera may crash when you are in Video mode or Photo mode but everything else works (including ArStickers)
Also let me know if it worked.

Redmi note 8t custom rom and NFC

Hi, folks. I have a redmi note 8t.
I would like to know if installing a custom rom from miui (EU, MIglobe...) keeps the NFC for payments . I have heard that you can't, that you have to do root and install a magistk module...I hope you can help me with this doubt, since I have unlocked the bootloader...thank you very much!
I have MiUiMix on Android 9 with preinstalled root. I just downloaded magisk manager app and enabled magisk hide. Payments in Poland works.
Lineage 17.1 with Magisk & MagiskHidePropsConf.
Google Pay works fine (france).
Edit: Also, Widevine still L1 so Netflix in HD, Banks app, Pokemon Go works, etc..

If I got you right, you're asking if unlocking bootloader doesn't allow using NFC. If I'm not mistaken, I could use NFC when I unlocked the phone, but I'm not exactly sure.
If you ask after installing a custom ROM NFC works, for that yes, you definitely need to install magisk. Don't be scared though, it's an easy process. Just flash a ROM, then finalize it (ie. start the mobile and setup the ROM). Once you're done with it, go back to twrp and flash magisk. Then install magisk manager (apk).
When in magisk manager both parts are green (that both are installed and working right), rename magisk manager (change it to something other than manager), let it download magisk manager again, and turn on magisk hide. Restart the phone, and in the menu you'll find from which apps manager should hide itself. Choose the banking apps and you're all ready to go.
I use the same mobile, and these are the steps I took. It's simple, straightforward and intuitive. Don't worry, you'll have NFC once you follow these simple steps.
Thank you so much for your answer... I'm sorry I didn't answer sooner, but I couldn't because of my job...
Now I have the EU stable (miui11) waiting for me to update to 12 .... recommend me another rom based on miui ? .... thanks again and a greeting!

First, you're most welcome!
Second, I didn't use any miui based ROM. Of those I tried, I fancied them in decreasing order as follows:
crDroid
LineageOS
Pixel Experience / Paranoid Android
In general, I can't say I'm dissatisfied with any. It's just minor stuff that put one over another, and all have been good in general. I use crDroid now simply because it allows more customizations - albeit I can't use front and aux cams. It's a singular issue though, as I don't read this from other users.
So I'd say try any, if you want. Because I use it now, I'd recommend crDroid but you'll find fans of all, and others that I didn't mention. It comes down to trial and error in the end.
NFC works with all four that I mentioned. In the beginning, when I first rooted and installed a custom ROM, my banking app warned me that I use a rooted phone and whatever, yet it's simple to fix. Don't worry about making NFC work, it really is easy. Step by step,
Install magisk from twrp
Install magisk manager
Rename magisk manager app
Open the app and let it install magisk again
Restart
Enable magisk hide
Restart
Then install your banking app and from magisk manager, add the banking app to hidden apps
And that's it. It seems a long process but takes five minutes.
Thank you very much for your comment my friend .....I have it in mind to install these roms ....greetings!
