I really really start to like the P8000. It may not have gazillions of gadgets features but it does all the important stuff well enough and long enough (due to the splendid battery). Taking into account the price, I like it even better than my Nexus 5. Because this phone is such a bargain, I hope that it will get the developer support it deserves.
This is my wish list.
Priority no. 1: Encryption support (unfortunately, this feature is missing from the stock ROM)
Priority no. 2: Custom kernel (this would probably allow us to overclock, use USB OTG, install TWRP etc.)
Priority no. 3: Custom ROM with smart network support (xposed + Gravity Box or Smart Network does not work on my P8000)
Priority no. 4: Support of Android API for RAW pictures
Feel free to add your wishes. Maybe a talented developer will take care of us

When you say "Smart Network Support" in Priority 3, you mean the Smart Network Switch that turns of Mobile Data connection etc. when screen is off, yeah?
Try CPU Tuner and you can create profiles that trigger on different events like screen off. You can then choose to disable data connection, WiFi or whatever in that profile. You need to use it in Advanced Mode for full features I think.

I tried 3C Toolbox (seems to include CPU Tuner/System Tuner) and used a profile that switches off 4G when the screen is off. Anyway, it did not work...
working Bluetooth Music Stream without Skipping and Stopping :laugh:
For some reason, I am still on the July Stock ROM, and no updates to me whatsoever.
What I wish right now is:
- Better power management (for some reason, "Phone Idle" is always the top power consumer);
- Double tap to wake;
- Fix bluetooth issues (music skipping, gibberish play);
- Third party camera support;
- Possibility to overclock it;
- Fix small GPS hiccups;
And of course, Android Marshmallow update.

If you update to the latest stock ROM or use Eragon custom ROM, you will be able to use third party cameras. I tested this myself.
How do I improve the speaker volume, I have tried mtk engineering mode but volume doesn't seem to have improved very much
For all those using Redmi 1S, I'd like to share some 'tips' which I found out while tinkering here and there, which resulted in much better memory management. Now I never see that irritating "loading" screen:
1) First manage start up apps through Security > Permissions > Autostart. Only the much needed apps should be kept there.
2) Settings > Additional Settings > Battery
Power settings - Balanced
System animations - Hide
Manage apps' battery usage - Advanced
3) Activate Developer options by tapping MIUI Version info (under Settings > About Phone) continuously. Now go to Developer options (Settings > Additional Settings). Make following changes:
Window animation scale - .5x
Transition animation scale - .5x
Animator duration scale - .5x
Memory optimization - High (This will require a reboot)
You may completely turn off animation scales but I kept have kept them at .5x and it works good enough.
After you reboot, your free RAM should be at least 50MB more than what it used to be. My total free RAM was 400MB+ for the first time ever but it hovers around 300-340 MB now. And no more loading screen.
I tried this in two Redmi 1S, and it worked as expected. I hope it works for everyone.
My Redmi 1S is on 7.1.1.0 Global.
Good Luck.
PS: There are many more factors which affect the running of phone for eg I just have 2 apps in start up, and have greenified almost all apps except a couple, which even includes gmail, Google App, Whatsapp and many others which most of the people skip, so usage scenario might differ from person to person.
Another tip for memory management.......don't use MIUI.

Well, every other ROM out there has some +/- . I would also like to switch to any other less memory hogging ROM but I'm so addicted to some here and there small features of MIUI that I just can't imagine switching.
And flashing ROM might not be everyone's cup of tea.

I must say that I knew these steps(nt lying) and these steps really do work...thanks for sharing
the only reason not use miui is its slow most of the times and sound quality is worst (inspite of dirac). It would be great if they start using viper4android instead of dirac
cm 12 and 13 rom gives good battery backup on neon kernel
Thanks
Thank you for the tips bro :good:
I'll give my list of changes I do whenever I install a ROM
1. Disable auto sync
2. Disable auto rotation
3. Disable location
4. Disable ambient display
5. Disable sounds ( KB, ls, do and vibration etc)
6. Disable headsup set priority mode
7. Disable animation ( dev options )
8. Disable useless system apps or remove
9. Disable usage access to apps
10. Change app settings enable dark theme
These settings effect on both battery and memory , I get 5hrs sot and memory usage never over 70% my usage is low as our device have 1GB I use apps according it
Hey sorry for title
i want to know how to make my phone just work like Feature phone on one click.
And another click Phone like super beast mode without Any reboot...
My motive behind this Power And battery
Feature phone mean i get super dooper SOT
One click super dooper mode eh? Just download more ram and overcharge your phone during a full moon.
You need a kernel manager, like EX Kernel Manager, that can support at least two profiles. However, I don't think such an app will work on the fly - switching between profiles without a reboot. Another option is Spectrum, but the kernel has to support the injector script. There's a thread about Spectrum here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-spectrum-kernel-manager-users-t3601542. Good luck!
You could achieve some of this using Tasker (or similar) as you could address brightness / replication status / radios / Bluetooth / etc. Won't allow kernel changes (unless rooted and using a 3rd party tool) but for me, the majority of battery is spent on screen being on & background tasks.
Hello,
I'm planning to buy the Oneplus 9 pro, but i would like to know if it's still possibile to have the DC-DIMMING feature.
Any of you are using this?
P.S. Before Android 11 it was able to use this feature by going into settings-->utility-->Oneplus Laboratory. With the last update the only way to check if it's still possibile to use, it's by issuing this adb shell command:
am start-activity -a oneplus.intent.action.ONEPLUS_LAB_FEATURE_DETAILS -e oneplus_lab_feature_key oneplus_dc_dimming_value
Thanks.
Does not seem to be there anymore.
I just checked mine, and nothing there
OP9 PWM Headache with new dynamic refresh rate
Hey everyone. For anyone out there (apparently less than 10% of us) that suffer from OLED panel PWM headaches, it seems that this OP9 pro is giving me grief. I think it possibly has to do with this new dynamic refresh rate. For anyone that's...

Oneplus 9 Pro has an LTPO Fluid2 Amoled screen and there are new features with Android 11 such as Comfort tone, Vision Comfort, various Motion and graphics smoothing, reading mode, and higher screen Hz, etc.
These features neglect the need for the DC Dimming feature due to the various options to keep the screen from straining the eyes.
Purpose
I have been jumping from one UI to gsi's to back to one UI. I just want to know what are yall experiences with different roms and maybe stock one UI and what mods/workarounds or apps do you use to solve problems. Any custom kernel etc. I'll start with mine here
My Current Configuration:
(i edit this op when i switch a gsi or attempt further mods)
OS: YAAP GSI
Device: SM-A325F
Firmware version: A325FXXS4DWD4
Rooted with KernelSU.
Using OrangeFox from here.
Mods:
1. Custom kernel:
I made my own permissive custom kernel from A325FXXS3CWB3 Samsung's source from here.
It has a lot of changes which include removing entire security and knox debloat as it is not used in GSI.
It also has changed default ram compressor to lz4 instead of lzo-rle which should be faster.
I have tested this kernel on A325FXXU3DWB8, A325FXXU2CWA6, A325FXXU2CVK3.
It also boots on one UI.
It was possible all thanks to @KrutosVIP and his amazing work here.
You can download it from here.
Just flash it in twrp with no additional steps required. Make sure to backup boot in case it doesn't boot.
NOTE: i switched to my kernelsu kernel which is available here on a32 threads. it still offers the same features but it has kernelsu
2. Penguin Gcam and FreeDcam:
I currently use Penguin Gcam from here.
It includes needed features. The only thing broken is slow motion.
I use FreeDcam Inorder to get access to all the other cameras including Ultra wide, depth sensor and macro camera. It works great. The only problem as of my writing on this thread is that changing the ISO manually crashes the app.
Fortunately @uluruman has created the files and presets for this app which work amazingly. You can check it out from here.
You can check out FreeDcam on the F-Droid store from here or on github from here.
3. Workarounds in Phh settings
Samsung Features:
1. Enable extended brightness range (fixes brightness issues)
2. Double tap to wake (optional. But you can use it if you like)
3. Enable access to all cameras (Important for FreeDcam)
4. Enable extra sensors
Misc Features:
1. Use alternate way to detect headsets [fixes headphone jack] (Optional in roms built after or during march patch since they already include my overlay.)
2. Force FPS (set to your desired refresh rate) [i use 90] (NOTE: some gsi's have issue with this on android 13 firmware. There is no fix to this. Upgrade to march patch because project elixir seems to have this fixed on march spl. Or try switching to another gsi or downgrade firmware)
3. Force alternative backlight scale, Allow setting brightness to the lowest (needed to fix brightness bar)
4. Force Enable Camera2API HAL3 (To make FreeDcam work)
5. Force Disable AD2P offload (Fixes bluetooth audio for android versions 12 and below.)
6. On newer gsis Bluetooth is broken. To fix Enable Use systemwide bt hal.
Reboot after changing settings is recommended.
4. Magisk Modules
1. Audio Modification Library, Dolby Atmos from Moto G Pro (NOTE: Moto core is required for this.) [Just a dolby atmos port i like]
2. Fullscreen/Immersive Gestures (Q-T) (Removes keyboard space bar at bottom)
3. mindetach, Youtube Revanced Extended (Youtube revanced extended and to detach it from playstore which prevents updating.)
4. Safetynetfix MOD, Shamiko (Dealing with safetynet issues and bypassing root checks in applications)
5. LSPosed - Zygisk (Mostly to get broken face unlock back since broken face unlock on gsi's due to unknown issue with android 13 vendor.)
5. Xposed Modules
The only Xposed module i use is universalauth. Using this module i can get face unlock back on every gsi due to a unknown issue with android 13 firmware or vendor. It works reliably.
Note: It broke in android QPR1 so dev posted a custom xposed link here.
Its broken on QPR2 again. The current workaround is to disable auto dismiss lock screen in face unlock app.
If it happens on QPR updates just remember the workaround.
Since It is unable to download the apks for libraries. You need to download Moto face unlock from here.
Then import it.
To allow restricted settings go to app info of face unlock app. press three dots on top right and allow accessibility. Entered pin if prompted.
Enjoy face unlock.
Over all Experience:
I am happy with using it. Its super smooth. Bugs are of course expected in generic system images. But they are good enough to use daily. Gaming performance in some cases is amazing. Enabling allow higher fps in games in some roms like crdroid unlocks many settings. e.g. i could play cod at 90Fps at medium. The fps hovered around 60-90 fps. It was amazing. If you set the performance mode to performance in game space in roms that have it, It works amazingly. A game restart is required and it works. Actually bumps the fps by a lot. I still do switch from gsi's to gsi's since sometimes i get bored or the gsi lacks some important things. For now In my opinion using a GSI is far better than stock firmware for me. The gsi's i would recommend are crDroid, Elixir, Pixel Experience, EvolutionX, LineageOS (TD based)
you can find more GSI's from here.
Hoping to hear about what you use on your device and how your experience is.
For One UI users. i have a thread on floating tweaks which enable many features and small tweaks to help phone run a lil bit faster check it out from here
Another camera app which can use all the cameras is Open Camera. It is more convenient than FreeDCam, has almost all the same features and even more, for example HDR and panoramas, but unfortunately, like FreeDCam, cannot shoot video from extra cameras out of the box. I tried to edit the settings file manually but it didn't help as it did with FreeDCam, I suppose there should be something else fixed in the app itself, but still I'm going to try again editing the settings in the future.

I used it before. i actually got the cameras to work once. i dont know how. I ditched freedcam for it. But idk maybe after i switched roms or an update they broke again? i think if you look in info it says Only 2 cameras present. Our limited camera2api only shows 2 cameras. While freedcam forces to use the camera no matter what.
I may be wrong i saw something abt this somewhere.
Maybe downgrading to an older apk might help. But i sadly dont have enough time for that
I also recommend using No-frills CPU Control CLASSIC to lower the min CPU frequency to 500 MHz and set govenor to "shedutil" (if it's not already). Also set Android System battery usage to "Restricted" (Settings > Battery > Battery Usage > Android System). That should reduce the battery consumption in the doze mode.

i have noticed big cores are alr at schedutil. although some roms report efficiency cores using "null" like no governer at all. But kernel manager says they use schedutil. I mostly set my governer to ondemand.

So i just installed crdroid 9.2 looks like gms was going crazy in the bg eating my cpu. The fix i found is to run this command.
su -c pm disable com.google.android.gms/.chimera.GmsIntentOperationService
this seems to fix it and i dont see anything broken. I searched it and looks like this issue does happen for alot of users.

That's only if you're using a gapps version. I am using the vanilla version of LOS, so there are basically only two com.google.android.[something] packages in my system: com.google.android.apps.googlecamera.fishfood and com.google.android.networkstack.tethering.overlay

yeah i m talking about people who use gapps. they are quite important in my day to day life otherwise i'd get rid of em
Just to update here. I tried magisk v26 and seems like it works fine. Although it had issues with my Dolby Atmos mods so i got rid of it and downgraded to v25.2 again. Otherwise all of my other modules were working fine and i didnt see any issues.
