As we can completely fix the camera in custom roms?

Hello, I would like to be cleared once the problems with the camera in custom roms, I love CM11 and SlimKat but is torture not to use whatsapp web, MSQRD, Snapchat, QR code reader, among others. So I wanted to ask if I can lead to put my grain of sand on this issue and try to fix it, I tried to change the file "camera.msm8974.so" but do not get good results, maybe if more people join to try to solve it we get results...

You probably want to talk to @ggow on his CM forum, Not here.

the HAL is intimately tied to the ov680 image processor and other hardware specifics

- The ROM has issues with the camera [...] which can not be fixed at the moment because of amazon's custom HAL interface
- It's a wonder the camera is working at all

Changing a single (native) lib is sadly not enough.
Even with ggow's skill set it would take a ridiculous amount of hours of "engineering" and even then it may not be enough.
And it's not just any phone but the "hunchback of Amazon", so most people will be like: "Why should I invest time in this device, when I can frolic around with a Sony, HTC, LG, etc."

You, good sir, are an inspiration. I'm not sure how you keep your responses to painfully redundant questions so measured and light hearted.

I get EzzBMTH's enthusiasm / point of view but the reality is harsh and simple:
The developers at Lab126 were given the order to customize it and lock it down as good as possible.
The Fire Phone is / was also the "last" product in line, development wise. A bunch of different tablets already existed, so Amazon could learn from past "mistakes" / vulnerabilities.
And releasing information about HAL / Kernel code would be a tragedy in their eyes, since all the "secrets" would be out in the open and they would have to completely change their concept for future releases.

Google Pixel Rom Development

Hi guys , as lot of us I want a Pixel Rom with the Pixel Experience and most of all the Pixel Camera (So we can really use our camera sensor )
I have been in talks we some Developers of Pixel Roms and ask them if they would be interested in trying to make a Pixel Rom for our Mi5s and 4 of them answered me with a positive answer.
I'm creating this thread because for them to try to build the Rom we would need to join forces and Donate enought money so we could purchase them a Mi5s.
So if you are interested in a Pixel Rom and don't mind giving up a Buck for the cause just let me know in the Pool to see if this would be possible.
So I created a CrowdFunding campaing to see if we can reach the goal , I set the goal to 460$ to see if we could get two Mi5s to the two Dev's who are most interested.
If you want this to happen just donate 1$ it's a Beer and it would help alot!

Lads , after the dev reach His potential, what Is he going to do with the device? Kept or send it to another one? I have questions about that

So have you actually found a developer who ported camera software from pixel/nexus phones before ? (I suppose camera is the main goal for us, no doubt pixel is doing this job much better having same hardware). The camera app itself doesn't affect picture quality that much, it is rather result of usage of underlying algorithms. Porting rom (or doing it feel it like pixel has from the box using lineage or another existing rom) won't be a big problem for a specialist, but all underlying software may not be so easily accessible, because it uses google developments that they likely don't want to expose. I'm not a rom developer so just want to clarify things (maybe they already released all required drivers in open source and it is only problem of testing it on a real device )

Hi there , I think the point would be for him to stay with the device and we would only consider that of sending to another one if the choosen Dev won't be able to do anything per say.

What I did was asking some Developers from the Pixel section if they would be interested in making a Pixel Rom for the Xiaomi Mi5s and if they would be able to try to Port the Camera Firmware or Algorithms from the Pixel to the Xiaomi Mi5s.
Of course they can't know for sure if they are going to be able to do it but they said they would love to try , and that's the best answer we can get from anyone to be honest.

If there is progress in this direction, then certainly is good news.

I think the only possible problem for this is that Google locked their prop libs to work only on Pixel. But I doubt it!!
I have disassembled the Google camera application and it checks the phone if it is Pixel or not.
If the libs were locked down I think it would mean an unnecessary double check.
I am a software developer myself and I am considering porting this to our device, however, I have no experience with android so far so it will take a bit of time.

Nexus Experience rom is very similar to pixel. http://www.nxrom.us/mi5splus.html I can't tell a difference from it vs the pixel rom on my 5x other than some LOS features included.
Google photo thinks it's a pixel (unlimited storage)
Flashing the google camera - https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-hdr-ported takes care of the camera part, although I use a separate app for video recording since its video recording is buggy and FCs

What's wrong with these people??? A few years ago people were grateful if someone ported /release a rom or an App. Now people just begs...
HEY i WANT VOLTE NOW!!!
HEY I WANT MY GCAM TO WORK JUST LIKE A PIXEL 2 PRONTO!!!
HEY ARE YOU GOING TO UPDATE THIS ROM EVERY SINGLE WEEK, UNTIL I GOT TIRED OF THE PHONE??

Absolutely no reason for this at all.
We got working HDR+ and that's absolutely amazing in itself.
I'm sure BSG will keep updating the apk for Mi 6 to match the Google versions, but he doesn't have Mi 6 so he's really got no easy way to do it....
Thread is so off topic might as well report. Its only hurting developers hard work.

It just make him look like a clown... BSG has done more than enough for the MI6.

With 5G you need to stand 5 feet from the cell tower to get it, they might as well add a plug on the cell tower so you can plug an extension cord in to your phone.

Well, that may be a bit of an exaggeration..... but it doesn't matter. I don't need 5G on my phone for the foreseeable future, but my original point still stands, most people will wait for the new model to arrive now, and development efforts on this device will be stalled (already are, I think).

Check the fork. I think they are still trying to figure out how to fix the clock after google fucced it up. When Eric took the pie update he ask which moron put the clock on the left side. Larry has a home hub strapped to his back and asks his mechanical girl friend for the time so it never bothers him.

Seriously, that is not the feedback I am getting. T-mobile has it right running low bands for 5G but it will take time. The problem is most phones do not need that kind of speed. 50 Mb/s is fast enough for now to update apps/ROMs. Most are still buying and feel that 5G is more for home internet. I think 5G will take about 3 years to make any impact on the market place. Even then, most really don't care. It is a mistake to use 5G as a selling tool for phone because if the person does not get performace they will return the phone.
and yes low bands can become saturated.

I don't disagree. 5G is mostly useless for phones. Home internet and applications requiring extremely low latency and high bandwidth are where it will make an impact. That won't matter to most phone buyers though, as evidenced by the latest AT&T advertising campaign......

Before the mods come to clean and delete this thread, could we PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE know where we stand with lineageOS. @autoplus, you have contributed to the fork. What works and what does not ... and does lineage OS even boot on the Mix 3? If anyone has booted lineage, could you tell us does it look like lineage in N and O?

Just got the MIX 3. Currently waiting for the bootloader countdown, but don't know what ROM to flash.
Should I wait for the official Pixel Experience? Is there any ETA on that anyway?

If you check other 730 or 730G devices, you can quickly find two flaws.
- There are no roms or development whatsoever.
- The battery life / power usage of this specific chip is pretty bad.
It is rumored that the Pixel 4a (or XL?) will use a 730, so that may help, even though Pixel 3a has never had any rom development either really.

I don't think this is true and I believe there's nothing wrong with 730 / 730G. You say that there are no roms or development WHATSOEVER for other devices running the same SoC, take a look over Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T sub-forum here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-9t/development. I can see many roms available already so neither the 730 is bad nor the devices running on top of it are left in the dust. It is a matter of market interest and let's be honest, many mid-range devices exist that give better value for money than Galaxy A71 and it happens that most of them run other SoC and therefore, 730 may not get enough attention and that's all.

I'm sorry but this is just BS. Here's what Qualcomm says about it:
The Snapdragon 730 serves up powerful performance and impressive battery life. It’s built to handle some of the most sophisticated on-device interactions, fueled by an 8nm process for extreme power efficiency in a small size.
Click to expand...

It is not that Qualcomm advertising their SoC, the better the technology (8nm), the more power-efficiency the SoC is. If you still insist on you opinion, please share some references that backs your claim up.
I believe the best statement to say here already said by the OP in the topic title: we want fully developers support to this device. It is not that developers hate 730 or that it is bad but they don't find enough reasons to buy devices with 730 because other better phones (overall) with the same price (or more affordable phones with similar performance but different SoC) exist.

Twrp is pretty useless with nothing to flash with it

Root and twrpwould be superb.
Not useless, as you can flash mods, like screen bootlogo to hide boot locker warning for example.
I got rid of the s10 plus and got an A71.
Could not justify the pricetag and performance compared to the a71.
So sold on, and half of that money bought me the a71, happ days
Aslong as can root which is main thing, do some customisation's, i'm happy

I'd be willing to do a custom ROM release for the A71 if I knew where to start, I'm a developer but never worked on Android "ROMs" before.
My goal would be a clean stable version of the Stock OS with the Google/Pixel apps installed and the Samsung crud removed.

If yes, please search for a71 development group in telegram. Step by step, every one can contribute to start decelopment.

It is still in a developingvphase. But because of contributions from every one and some exceptional devs like grarak, xtutorials etc.. a70 has an almost workable source to start with.
Lets see if a71 ysers are just as keen as a70 users to bring custom development for this device.
Joining the telegram group would be a start. We can coordinate from there on.

Oh wait, you replied to my three months old comment... okay.
So maybe my prediction was incorrect... I made a mistake... let's check: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a71/development
Oh no.. I was 100% right. Dayum. Shame. Good try though.
(sorry for sarcasm but why reply like I messed up when my comment stood the test of time.. sadly. I wish these devices were supported, trust me.)

Considering the amount of publicity this phone has been getting, it's just a matter of time.
Once there's proper source code for a ROM to be developed, you'll see ROMs being developed.
As it stands, the device is brand new, I mean come on it came out in January.
If my previous phone (Nokia 7 Plus) had custom ROMs despite not being able to unlock the bootloader for free because Nokia wouldn't let you, I doubt this phone won't get any ROMs.

has anyone tried any treble roms with this device?

Was going to say, the amount of publicity this phone has got and still going is up there with main flagship phones.
It is a cracking phone for sure, and would love like many, to have custom roms and further support for it.
We have to be patient, if it happens, all good, if not, it is what it is.

I guess the only bad thing is that there is no way around of not tripping Knox, despite it being a Qualcomm phone and not an Exynos phone.
So if you have insurance and/or warranty, you can kiss those two good bye the minute you decide to tamper with the bootloader.

isnt is possible to install AOSP GSI by phussion?

SURPRISE!
Hi guys, I am developer from Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite, and interesting in development to this device.
Mine ideas for this device:
* Debloated stock - stock with trash app removed, added features and other optimizing.
* TWRP - rooting and flashing will be easier
* Custom ROMs - any description needed here?
And ofc we will try boot GSI (maybe sGSI too) for this device!
Stay tuned!
(1st debloated stock version will be evelible in few weeks)

By the way, what do you guys think about making thread for this, so users will see something is happening, or this is too early?
