[QUESTION] Different loading times for GCam mods - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

Hello guys. I've been customizing my device for at least 6-7 months, and I've already got the main Magisk modules (camera2api, camera lag fix, telelens enabler etc.) to get any GCam mod working without problems. After some time spent with Arnova's mod, I tried others too and now I'm stuck with Serjo87's (test4d.apk, latest build). However, I noticed loading times change from build to build; Serjo87's, for example, is pretty long (something like 3 seconds). Is it normal? Can I do something about it, or it's something the developer should fix? I like this mod and it would be even more enjoyable if loading times were faster.
Sorry for the dumb question and thanks in advice for any answer

[Q] Touchscreen becomes completely unusable when opening camera?

Hi!
I'm absolutely new here (and to Android and everything about it) and i've only made a couple of posts in the noob thread. I felt like this should be a thread of its own due to its abnormality.
I've only very recently rooted my phone (i9505, 4.4.2) a couple of hours ago using the towelroot method. I have not flashed any custom ROM yet however I do have some Xposed Modules installed.
i've only run across some problems like repetitive rebooting (fixed) and faster battery drain (hopefully fixed by tomorrow).
However, I have one problem that doesn't seem to have any solution whatsoever anywhere in the internet; it wasn't even mentioned once.
Whenever I open the stock camera app, the touch screen becomes completely useless. I cannot touch anything; the settings, shutter, view finder to focus, absolutely nothing. The camera itself is not broken, I can still take pictures with the volume rockers. Also, I know not the entire screen is broken because one of the modules I have installed is SwipeBack, which lets me swipe from a corner and it goes back and it still works perfectly fine.
I've tried rebooting the phone and force stopping the camera but nothing has worked.
The only suspicious thing I've done is backup and uninstall all the KNOX apps, which should be no surprise.
Now I'm not particularly bothered by this as I barely use the stock camera app anyway, or any camera app besides Snapchat. I don't use my phone for taking pictures much, but it still is quite annoying.
Is there any sort of fix to this?
Thank you very much in advance!

[Q] Snapchat is slow as hell

So I've got a rooted AT&T Note 3. It's running the original ROM but modded like crazy. For the past couple of weeks, Snapchat has been horribly laggy. Every action takes a few seconds. The camera takes 10-15 seconds to load, and then freezes for up to 30 seconds before loading again. I have uninstalled, restarted, and reinstalled many times. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Nothing else is laggy or buggy at the moment on the phone. I have not subscribed to the beta either. When the keyboard finally loads in snapchat, it types fine. I've got a OnePlus One coming in a few weeks, but I'd like to get Snapchat working normally again until then.
Thanks in advance.

My Snapchat done this exact same thing, it was on my Nexus 5 though. I put it down to the ROM and /or Xposed (was using keepchat). Sure enough once I reflashed and reinstalled it worked fine. Not sure why it does this but it was the first time it had ever happened to me.
Try dirty flashing your ROM. And don't use so many xposed tweaks. See if it resolves, then wittle down which mod is messing with it.

Pure Nexus 6 slowing down - ROM alternatives?

Hi, I recently had to reset my Nexus 4 and took the opportunity to try a custom ROM.
I chose Pure Nexus 6.0.1 and I like it, but I have a very annoying issue: when I do not reboot my phone for a few days (can be 1 days, can be 3 days) it starts getting sluggish, until it freezes - generally the moment when I open a more intensive app like a car navigation app.
If I reboot it everything works fine and smooth for a while.
I never had this problem before with official ROMs, and I'm using the same apps as always.
Is there a solution to this, or maybe can anyone suggest a different ROM?
I need a ROM which is complete and 100% stable, and I do not have the time to do much testing myself...
I do not care if it is bleeding edge, Marshmallow is enough , but I really do not want to get crazy with bluetooth or wifi issues, crashes, slowdowns...
Thank you very much for any pointers!

Anyone else feeling bad for having this phone?

Hi guys, I'm the owner of this device since december 2016. I was very happy when it first arrived, it was smooth, responsive, everything worked just fine and I was very happy with Xiaomi.
Later, Xiaomi just launched Redmi Note 4 and then my nightmare began. I was always searching for new MIUI features, and as such, I've installed as soon as possible a Custom MIUI China rom, like xiaomi.eu or MIUIBrasil.
Everything was just going well, but then I've noticed that Xiaomi released MIUI 8.5 on many devices with new features, and our device began to be a little "left behind" when it came to updates.
Later Xiaomi introduced MIUI 9, with the new features and so much more improvements, however, after MONTHS waiting, our phone just got a MIUI with and Android 6.0.1 on IT, they didn't even thought about updating to Android 7, on the excuse of hardware limitations (Oh yes, let's remind that apart from Camera, our phones are EQUAL to Redmi Note 4 in specs), anyway, I've already tried a few AOSP before, and now I thought that this was the time to give it a chance again...
However, with so many ROMs out there, I just thought, OK I'll try some before picking up one to be my daily. And then it began... OK, the first thing I missed from MIUI was the ability to record calls and block calls by choosing numbers from contact list (without having to type then manually), second, Network Type Dialog, which on MIUI I could see only three options (LTE, 3G and 2G) this saves battery and on my Country, my mobile company simply have a bug on their network, and if the network type 4G is selected when data is disabled, it will charge your phone anyway, everyday for using internet... (THAT's RIDICULOUS).
Another thing is the 3 finger screenshot, yes they're present I know, but on MIUI everytime you do this, the screen "freezes" and if its a list, it won't scroll, the same thing doesn't happen on AOSP, when you do Three Finger Screenshot on a list, it scrolls before taking Screenshot.
However, one may ask, Why you're not on MIUI then, if you like it so MUCH?
Ok, I'll answer this by explaining that, I CAN'T
Yes, you read it correctly, everytime I use a MIUI (I've tried many, MIUI Stable, MIUI China, Xiaomi.eu, MIUI 8.6, MIUI 8.3, even MIUI 8.2) and on ALL of them I have the same ISSUE i'm going to report now.
RANDOM REBOOTS after installing Magisk + Xposed combo.
When I got my hands on this phone, as I mentioned early, EVERYTHING worked like a charm, it never rebooted once, Xposed and Magisk were playing nice together, I could use modules from both Magisk and Xposed, and phone was amazing, but now, with newer versions of Xposed and Magisk, it doesn't work anymore.
OK, if I knew what combination I've used in the past, I could simply try them again, but the thing is that I don't, I don't remember which version of Xposed Framework I was using when everything was fine back 1 year and half from now, neither the Magisk version.
So I'm stuck with either using MIUI and having phone rebooting every now and then (it doesn't even REBOOT totally, it just doesn't turn on screen anymore and if you put screen against source of light you can barely see the BOOTLOGO animation Stuck, like if it were burned in on screen, it's weird) or with AOSP lacking many features I found useful on MIUI.
TL;DR I'm very displeased with this phone, with how XIAOMI forgot it and how frustrated I am because I can't use it properly, I can't customize it as MY OWN, and I just wanted to use it without rebooting.
Well that's all, just wanna share that and know if anyone else had the same feeling.
Best regards
1. You can use 3rd party app to record calls on aosp. With proper searching, you can get exactly what you want. For the blocking numbers from list, how often do someone need to block a number? It's a very minor feature.
2. Yes, there are more options to choose network, but choosing only 4/3/2G is still there.
3. About the three finger screenshot, yes aosp does it bad. But, you can use custom shortcut to take screenshots, even gestures like 2 fingers side swipe, which I use on Mdroid.
There's work around for almost everything, if you look properly. And if you like things simple, surely you'll miss out some things.
I feel bad, because I can no longer go back to a regular battery sized phone
I feel exactly the same
Xiaomi abandonned us
Luckily for me I gave my markw to my sister (she doesn't care about updates ) and got myself a mido ( redmi note 4)
But I miss my 4 prime it was the perfect size note 4 is too big. And battery life is slightly less with mido
I know how you feel about custom roms.
There is always a way to fix your problem with them but it demands time to find the solutions to bugs/ non-existent function ( custom rom is not for lazy person ?)
With miui you had almost everything in 1 package
( But miui also had so many problems)

Apps stop working

Hi guys. I have some problem with my a1. Generally it is a great phone., but after first attempt of rooting with magisk
(i think that was that moment) some apps stopped working properly. After this i returned few times on stock rom (april), install RR rom (btw i love it), and still apps like GCAM, nova launcher, PUBG, gallery from RR has stopped work.
Sometimes games like fallout shelter and PUBG work if I wait long enough. But if i lock my screen during waiting for app to start, its all black and its works with delay. Once, after installing RR rom and Franco kernel all works properly for few days, but after first rebooting, apps still didnt work.
I dont know what to tell you more so ask me and please help
