MX4 or OnePlus One?

The thing are importent to me is:
1.faster and powerfull phone (for games,emails,whatsapp,internet,apps).
2.Amazing camera.
3.Good battery.
4.A phone that will not "stock" in the future (i can change roms and more).
5.A good screen.

You need to get booth of them

The battery of meizu mx 4 is not good. So I still prefer OPO.

i had the oneplus one and now i have the mx4
opo has a lot of problems ( search google ) touch screen wont work properly ,sometimes i had those ghost touches and a lot of touch issues ,microphone stopped working suddenly ...
the big problem is the support of this company ,in one word ,a big joke , just bought the mx4 with 2 years warrant in my local country, not as fast as the opo but perfect touch screen and a lot of nice features , im very pleased with it more then the opo

Hello maybe i can give some feedback, i actually used an Oneplus One for over 3 months and then switched to meizu, i didnt experience any issues with my oneplus one unit, now yellow band nothing stupid ~
i switched to the mx4 for the following reasons, for my hands the oneplus one wasnt as comfortable to hold due to how the phone is build up, the rouned design of the meizu is way better for me to hold in one hand and do something on the go ~
camera hands down i always thought the oneplus one takes descent shots untill i got my mx4..really compared to the mx4 pictures the oens of the oneplus just look washed out noisy and lack detail (they are still good but just way worse if you compare it to the mx4)
i also prefer the mx4 deisgn..performance wise they are equal..i dont see any difference even tho i score 51k in antutu while i had "only" 46k with my oneplus one, same antutu version
the only downside for me is the battery life, i get easily through the day with my mx4 but i would say i had around 20% more battery with the oneplus one
but as long i get through the day i'm fine, i would never switch my mx4 for a oneplus one.

Yeah I have an MX4 and the camera is probably the best I have ever experienced on a mobile phone and I'm just not saying that. Amazing detail in the pictures, good colors and many options to get the shot you want. Only thing I miss is image stabilization.

I consider buying the MX4. The only thing that bothers me is the software. Will there be the official CyanogenMod support? Or can we expect an upgrade of their OS to Lollipop?
What also bothers me is that there is no subforum here on XDA. Why is that? Is there really no custom software for this phone?

I don't know about Cyanogen but Lollipop is confirmed for the MX4 but I don't know when it will be released. Basically there is no development for the phone. But I like the stock software personally. One of the reasons I bought the phone.

[Q] 3 Missing Camera Features - How to add them?

Hello,
First of all, i'm very satisfied with the Note 3's Camera. It's very useful and makes very good pictures and is also very fast. The shutter lag is very short in sports mode, and i also love the [email protected] and 4K-Recording. The User Interface of the camera is also designed very well, and it's got a giant amount of features. :good:
Please note, that i've got (the lastest) Android 4.3, because 4.4.2 is very bogus and Lollipop's User Interface is very ugly and lost many features.
But here are three software-features, that you can add, by installing the S6 and M9 Camera APK, but they are only supported from Android 5.0/higher.
1. Real-Time-equivalent Slow Motion / HFR
I'd like to record it like i described it right here, because the displayed playback speed in the player is equivalent to Real-Time and because Audio is recorded. This is also, how the Galaxy S6's Camera Software Application does it.
2. 1440p Video Recording
This is what i need, when i'd like to take a video, which is better than FullHD 1080p, but doesn't eat up as much space as 4K-Video. This is, what the Note 4/S6 Camera application also is capable of.
Bitrates:
FHD - 17 MBit/s
WQHD - 28 MBit/s (like [email protected])
4K-UHD and DCi-4K: 50 MBit/s (sometimes around 48)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3. Zero Pause Lag/Delay
This is, what the HTC One M9 can do - even in 4K. The last phone i know, which can do this is the Omnia 2.
It allows you, to Rec/Pause/Rec/Pause/etc... a video, without any lag/delay.
You can hit the rec/pause button, as fast as you want, and it always reacts.
The Note 4 and S6 have got a pause delay of around two seconds.
Off-Topic:
Here's a list of small things, that are also missing on the Note 3-Camera, but are less important currently.
Hardware
Physical Shutter Button (Priority: 60 %)
OIS Camera (every Flagship Smartphone newer than Med-2014 should have OIS.) (Priority = 70 %)
Mechanical Shutter (makes Picture quality a little bit better but is not so important) Prior.= 20 %
Software
The disadvantages below are so small, that they're pretty much off-topic. I'm satisfied with the Note 3 Camera.
Selective Focus
Tap-to-shoot
AF/AE Lock
Manual Camera Settings
Color Spectrum RGB Sensor (low Priority) (As known from the LG G4)
Laser Auto Focus (low Prior) (as known from LG G3 and G4)
Burst Shot Limit - higher than just 20
Lossy digital zoom is useless. Only Lossless Digital Zoom is good.

I'm still very satisfied with the Note 3 Camera. ♥
Every help is highly appreciated. But please take this thread seriously.

The main Problem is, that every useful app is only supportet on Android Ugly Edition 5.0.
I don't like the case, if the lowest API that an app supports is 19 or higher.
I miss the old pretty times, where the Note 2 (with it's beautiful TouchWiz Nature UX 1.0) with it's Android 4.0.4 or 4.1.2 or where the Note 3/10.1(2014) with their superior User Interface (TouchWiz NatureUX 2.5) and Android 4.3 were the newest. Then 4.4 ruined all software. Now 5.0 comes with a ruined U/UX.
Also the S5's UI was OK, but lost some features. I like this ocean blue of the S5.
The Note 4's UI+Hardware lost too many features.

Heard of launchers and themes?
And TW is never nice.

Tap-to-Shoot
The Tap-to-Shoot-Feature, which is activated by tapping somewhere in the Viewfinder, isn't in the S4, but actually it does exist on the Note 3.
I have not seen it before.

My large Post in the following link also includes some camera disadvantages, that also hit the Note 3:

In-App Picture Quality on Huawei Mediapad M3 downgraded

Hello XDA Community,
I am a fresh new member and I had a little question. My Girlfriend wanted to buy a new Tablet to use it primarily to browse the Internet and have a device to show her design work (through Tumblr, Pinterest, Chrome, etc.). After some search, we had two possibilities the older iPad Mini 2 or the Huawei Mediapad M3. I advised her to take the MediaPad M3 (8.4 inches) as it was newer and had better performances and a better screen. However, since the beginning, we found out that the pictures rendered in apps such as Google Chrome, Tumblr, Pinterest, etc. are scaled down and look pixelized. However, the screen resolution (1600 x 2560) is great and when clicking on the actual showed images the tablet shows them in the original quality.
Is there any way to modify the settings of the apps to show the full quality pictures right away?
Any help would be much appreciated as this became a real frustration in using the tablet.
The tablet runs EMUI 5, has the Android version 7.0.
Thank you!

Google Camera 6.1 for GS7?

Wrong thread dude

I just bought a samsung galaxy s7 edge model SM-G935T honestly I'm disappointed at the photo level. I was expecting a lot better especially on this model I have a sony imx 260 sensor, which is weird with the Chinese smartphone leeco pro 3 which a sensor sony imx 298 of lower quality. I can produce better shots on leeco X722 thanks to the Google camera. Is there a way to install the gcam on samsung so you can get the most out of it?

Search is your friend, there are working gcam ports for this phone, albeit it can't store pics to external storage without jumping through a couple of hoops.

Yes, I am aware that there are certainly some versions of gcam function for the Samsung SM-G935T especially that I am very connected in this area with leeco pro 3 which accepts almost all versions of this list thank you for having me answered.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/

It's good, I found version 6.1021 works best on the Samsung SM-G935T under oreo and bug least compared to others. Exactly it is the one I use with my leeco pro 3 but against the battery it is empty at a speed unbelievable. On leeco the application is better optimized, it consumes less battery. As you can see I took some pictures with the application.

https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V1d_fu24-01g.apk

There is another version that works very well on my samsung SM-G935T snapdragon 820 without crash compared to others is this version or there is precisely Yuv_420_888 which must be selected in the settings for no bug.
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_Potter_v6slidertest-san1ty.apk
On this version the viewfinder and much faster.

I have two versions that works well on our smartphone under snapdragon 820 with the rom oreo even without being rooted.
There are several, but I chose the most recent one.
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2a+.apk
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V1a_xcam_0.apk
Do the tests and look at the one that brings you the most satisfaction.

This is a new version of gcam that is rich in option and works well under oreo but it does not crash.
install this one first
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V1a_xcam_0.apk
and over install this new version and create a gcam folder with the file config.xml
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gca...ova-based_v.1.3c_fix_TlnNeun_xcam_5_beta6.apk

for the Exynos processor I do not think it's compatible with me running under a snapdragon 820 processor with the official Oreo Rom without root.
For exynos under the rom oreo test rather those of this list

I explained in my previous comment to be able to install the second application without crash and that it is very rich in option, it must first install the first application is configure it by activating the hdr +
and after finishing the installation of the first, especially do not uninstall it that is the same developer of the second, and install the second that will take over the first.
the goal is that the second application installs without any crash.

I am getting the same green tint all over the picture specialy front cam.
Please help me

For selfies install this app in addition
do not uninstall the other.
because I tried all the parameters, but unfortunately, the green tint remains present.
it works best for selfies without the drawbacks of red or green hue.

sorry, but you have a serious problem, I notice that you do not read enough previous messages that I posted or explain that these versions are compatible only for the Samsung Galaxy S7 under the Snapdragon 820 processor, and I do not do that at chance, at first I try first on my smartphone Leeco pro 3 because with this phone all versions are compatible, but the objective is to compare the quality of the images, if it is of good quality I made the try on my Samsung smartphone and if it works, I share it with others in the community who have the same processor as mine because most have tested and posted versions it works on their smartphone, but the problem is that you rush without reading what I posted before, if you resume all my previous messages that I put online or I answer a person who asks me if it works under the Exynos processor? I answer that it does not work because it is not the same processor.

Funny people go crazy for no reason.. For your record, I have spent lot of time searching and trying. And. By the way, the mentioned comboo WORK on my Exynos S7.

Please forgive me for my previous message that I misinterpreted but soon I intend to get the same phone as the samsung SM-G930F is I will do google camera tests thank you

Listen, I'll give you an example on this version
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog324/
which is in my opinion the best GCAM of all the cameras that I tested on my Leeco pro 3, but unfortunately, does not work on the Samsung Galaxy S7 under Oreo because for me, it's the best version of all GCAM that I tested is particularly the most complete in the viewfinder attaches to perfection and works perfectly on my Leeco pro 3 that it is for selfies or tip top of the rear camera, I wanted to run it on the Samsung but alas the crash of the device.

GCam 7 for Samsung A9 2018
hello pls can you help me. I recently got a Samsung Galaxy A9 2018 updated with android 10 from work. I want to root it just so that I can use Google camera but in 2 years be able to unroot it to give back to office. What exactly do I need to do to (1) backup current stock firmware and (2) get GCam 7.3 working on a Samsung A9?

My device(SM-A920F) have been root and I enable the camera 2 API,but I still can't use the gcam when I open it, it's black screen then crash.
