CM13 comapred to stnadard L

I have a stock lollipop from and idk if it is worth switching over to CM13. I have a D850 so there are a couple unofficial builds. Why should I switch over to CM13 to M compared to my 5.1 rom?

If you like your camera software,menu and other accesibility items you should go for a cusyom rom based on official L...you can search for Cloudy g3 or trix which is a forward for the Cloudy G3

I tried xenon HD and it flew compared to anything I had on this phone. But there are bugs and the camera sucks on any aosp roms

this question has been asked countless times on this forum already, i'll just summarise the main few points for you here. i'm using candysix so i can only comment for that since i've heard cm13 has many bugs and SOD's.
advantages of stock over cm13:
1. Camera - g3 needs lg framework to record 4k videos, so AOSP roms like cm cannot shoot 4k. Normal camera quality is also nowhere near stock quality, although you can flash camera mods to improve the quality (i'm using one m9 camera mod)
2. You don't break your warranty (if you still have one)
3. There are minimal bugs and crashes compared to AOSP
4. Can use LG apps like Miracast, Qslide apps, QuickRemote
advantages of cm13 roms over stock:
1. Much, much smoother UI. almost lag free
2. Battery life is about the same as stock or even better for me
3. No lg bloatware
4. Stock android experience
5. It's Marshmallow!

that's where you're wrong. With the m9 camera if you have the patch you can shoot 4k video.

So should I switch over? Or not? Im still wondering. I have a neat stock rom. I dont shoot videos if at allbut I liek battery life, and I do use the camera for photos decetnly often not to much.

i can't seem to find the option in the camera app, the highest quality for me is FHD 1080p

Switch... Cm13 is awesome.
1. Google now on TAP is awesome.
2. Smooth, very smooth.
3. Makes me feel up to date hahaha.
4. You can install themes... Cool thing to do.

That's because you don't have the 4k patch

just use open camera it has 4k video and everything you need cm13 has been epic fast and stable with no issues and battery last about 17 hours each day when setup right only issue is SD card corruption

Are you sure you got a real 512gb card?? Because SanDisk only reaches 200gb and the only company who says are able to make 512gb is Microdia. But for now this 512gb card is not for sale. It's only a prototype presented in june this year. (see this)

Oreo for s6e+ and note 5

This is not my creation, but it took me a long time to find this and it actually works, so I am going to post a link to the other XDA thread to make it easy to locate.
https://www.google.ca/amp/s/forum.x...neageos-15-1-note-5-android-8-1-t3737405/amp/
My WiFi and calls work. The camera was glitchy but if that bothers you, remove it with a system app uninstaller and replace it with one you prefer. I also did not care for lawnchair or trebuchet launcher so I replaced them with pixel launcher(also here on XDA).
I have not noticed any other bugs so far in the past 24 hours I've been using the ROM. Make sure you flash all the zips, there are a couple of zips with the ROM that fix things. Also take a moment to give the developer a thank you, its a fully functional oreo on s6 edge +!
Thanks for reading, enjoy the upgrade to Oreo
Zenlte moddified lineage 15.1/nexusOS for s6e+ done by myself. I did some stuff to get the camera going a bit better. Lower res to 1080p. The full thread is in the s6e+ t mobile forum under android development the original rom and kernel are in the link above at the top.

I fixed the battery life with kernel auditor and replaced the video/camera with s different one. Then I removed the init.d and reinstalled it to get proper access, also used a different super user then the one provided. I've got xposed running with busybox and amplify. I'm not a dev but I am in college studying computer programming. My take on this ROM is if you know your way around your droid well and can invest some time any bug in it is fixable. The battery could be improved more by using a different kernel or editing the one contained in this ROM to add more governor settings and tweeks. I reached out to the ROM developer on that subject, with any luck they will look into it.

Mine stutters a bit but not too bad. I removed the camera and then flashed the s6 edge camera instead of the s6 and it improved a fair bit. Luckily I do not use Bluetooth audio so in my case only recording videos has a bug still and its not a deal breaker as I walk around with my s6 e+ as my surfing and calls device and my s7 is my music and gaming device. So for me I just record with s7 if I need video while I try to fix it. Once I figure it out I will share the details.

If its your second device then it can be used, but as primary device rom is not stable enough.

Error logs for camera.

Logs

I'm not an expert but this seems to be a Java runtime error. I have to really get down to the core and look now. The only time I encounter an error with parsing an int is when the syntax is wrong, like trying to parse an invalid type to an int. I'm starting to believe I'm going to need to remove all traces of the camera from the droid 100% and try flashing zips from different models until it works. Or sit down with eclipse and go through line by line and solve the exceptions Java is throwing.

I got HD working for photos and videos but now the video frame freezes like its a photo and only audio records. Argh

OK I got it. If you edit the settings in the native app and drop video recording from 4k to 1080 it improves a lot. And open camera from the play store looks / sounds a bit better for video. I can now record videos in HD and its not choppy or laggy. VoIP is also working. Besides the Bluetooth issue that you mentioned which I can not test to troubleshoot I don't know of any remaining issues. Have you tried removing Bluetooth drives and files reinstalling it?

Bluetooth-audio doesn't work on my SM-G928F. NFC, WiFi-Direct and AndroidBeam are also not working.

Have you tried not removing the NFC and seeing if it boots?

So the pre installed camera works on and off due to runtime errors and conflicts stemming from Exynos camera3. The files are named camera 2 but logcat shows camera 3. I tried cyanogen but I get the error that it can't find media recorder. I'm going to try installing media recorder and seeing if it works with the cyanogen camera. Fingers crossed

I'm hearing camera 2 API is not fully supported on the s6 devices. This could be the issue. However if I am correct that sucks. Because I can not just swap API. I would have to talk to the dev and he or I would have to reduild the ROM using media recorder API if that's possible in Oreo. I assume it would still work despite being depreciated by Google and it's java.

Yeah i tested it on OnePlus 5t most of the stuff is working.

Good just for accent color and notification style
Many of its features not working and don't know why

I used it on Stock Pie rom, makes the phone a whole lot more usable. But I'd suggest you to use the slim version, the full version makes Photos app recognize your phone as a Pixel device which is not xD Therefore caused me some backup issues back then. Slim works great though ( On Pie )

You get rounded corners and Google Call Screening (which didn't work properly last time I tried) also Google's sound picker in settings (which also crashes lol). Maybe some other stuff too I'm not sure. Oh also your device identifies as Pixel again and Photos app shows a message that you had unlimited storage on cloud but your time has passed so you can only store images/vids at high quality (same as Full package of Pix3lify - doesn't mess the Photos app either in full or in slim package, sorry for the confusion). I love rounded corners myself but don't love it as much as rooting and not being able to get updates (although we still don't get updates, thanks Xiaomi ) So I just install Google Sounds apk from apkmirror and use unrooted stock ROM right now. Cheers.

[Discussion] Which ROM are you guys using and why are you using it?

Hey guys,
Just wanted to know which rom you are using and the reason behind it.
I am using xiaomi.eu 10.2 stable, I am basically using it because of stability. I previously used pixel experience for a while, it was a bit of a hassle to boot it up.Since the dev was inactive and the rom had some bugs I had to use miui which I am not a big fan of.
The goal of this discussion is to find out if anyone is using stock android like roms without any issues.
Thanks

That's about where I was, other than the notification nightmare which made it close to unusable for me. I just couldn't see the point, my conclusion being it's designed for people who like themes, which aren't my cup of tea.

Yeah notifications are a disaster. I thought MIUI was cool and I have all the pixel XL devices too, so I have choices.
Sent from my Mi MIX 3 using Tapatalk

There are a couple apps for which I get notifications but no sound, most notably Google Keep and Settle Up. Other than that, I don't have major issue with notifications since 10.2 update.

Stock Chinese ROM with Nova Launcher Prime for me. I like the lack of Google trash, like Chrome, not being needed to use and access the Play Store. Literally the most bloat-free experience after uninstalling the Chinese bloat that isn't needed.

Dev eu rom. Since the first release. Happy with it. No problem at all.

Cn device with global Rom, I like MIUI battery management last all day with heavy use.

Xiaomi.eu weekly with Nova prime on top.
I really like it and notifications work fine it is just a little bit annoying that you have to set app specific settings for them to work properly though.

Guys what's the notification issue you're talking about?
Im on global miui too but i dont know exactly what it is?

Which messaging app are you using? For me, I could never get notifications to work properly with Google Messages, and with the native Messages app, group messaging didn't work, nor does it have a desktop interface. This may have improved with the more recent releases, but Pixel Experience was so good I have no need to bother trying MIUI again (the other big thing it was missing is the smart unlock functionality).

The only thing I'll regret in stock android is the full screen gesture. I love it in miui

Front Camera not working with new hardware in custom ROM

I searched a new phone with good ROM support. After some readings of XDA's threads, I just bought RN8Pro, waited a week for unlocking and tried few ROMs.
It ended up that some newer RN8Pro has a slighty different front camera's hardware that is not actually supported by custom ROMs, as it has been discussed in some threads (like this one : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...xperience-official-aosp.4059977/post-83570951 )
I didn't saw this information before buying, so maybe it is useful that this will be more visible to people who want to buy this phone.
If you have some news about fixing front camera, feel free to respond.

That is a problem that I also face
The front camera does not work on any MIUI with Android 9. But on MIUI with Android 10 it works well...
The problem is that every ROM requires me downgrade to MIUI with Android 9.

Same problem here.
Bought 2 devices 2 weeks ago, unlocked a few days ago and installed crdroid 6.11.
Front camera is not working, GCam crashes on start.
On another device, bought in october the front camera works well with GCam and other camera apps.
Hopefully someone finds a quick fix.

If this camera is a different model, can we identify it using AIDA64?
In AIDA64 -> Peripherals , mine says Samsung ISOCell S5K3T1. I don't know if this is the new model.
EDIT: I read that it's a new revision of the same model so I think this "method" won't work.

Did your front camera work in custom roms?

My sensor is too Samsung ISOCell S5K3T1 and not work on Android 9 with MIUI and custom roms.

Same case for me, the front camera is "Samnsung ISOCell S5K3T1" and I installed evolution X 4.7 and everything works except the front camera, how sad, I haven't found a way to make it work. I asked in an official rn8pro telegram channel and they only told me to stay in Rom Stock with miui until Xiaomi releases the firmware code for these new sensors. The newer rn8pro devices are the ones that have this problem since their front camera sensors are new.

It seems I have the same problem. I wasn aware of that when buying!
I tried the Roms:
Pixel Experience
Evolution
crDroid
Same result on all Roms, everything works except the front camera. As soon as I install another cam app like Gcam, it crashes.

I wish I knew this before buying Note 8 Pro
I hate MIUI, I was going to flash custom ROM as soon as possible. But... Revolut doesn't work without selfie camera. I hope I can relock bootloader and return the phone.

The strange thing is that no custom rom developer can solve this problem

+1 for me being a victim of this new front camera module!
Given the situation right now I/we have to compromise. Working front camera with MIUI (it's unusable for me and I've tried) or no working front camera + custom ROM.
I chose the latter (Pixel Experience 10).
If I do need a front camera I'll have to get my LG G2 (LineageOS 16.0).
Either Xiaomi releases the code for the new front camera module or it leaks somehow. Whichever comes faster.
Compass.

I have also the same Problem.
Samsung ISOcell S5KGW1

Same problem here. Does it need just a rebuild with a more recent kernel? Anybody have any advice how to start that?

Same question here!
What I can confirm that the newest Pixel Experience ROM has the selfie cam working perfectly, I am just not a friend of that level of Google integration.
So I guess we have to wait for one of the other maintainers to take a stab at this, or try it ourself ...
I guess it's a lot more than linking some new libraries, so if anyone can point me in the right direction, maybe a howto, that would be much appreciated.

The front camera is working with Pixel Experience 11 (Build: 16th of march of 2021).
I installed Pixel Experience 11 today and the front camera works (didn't crash so far either).
