Hello all. I was a member of this site between the times of the tmobile dash-note 2 eras and i havent done much modding since. I may have to start back after getting this phone. I recently upgraded from the LG g2 and besides the better hardware it seems that the software is a downgrade in terms of over customization and getting the most out of this hardware. I just want to know if there's a way to fix any of these problems or if I should root and if so what should I go with..
1. Get front flash to work while video chatting or to use phone as lighted mirror;without having to record video. ( I always visualized an ad of a chick using the moto x as a mirror or a soldier video chatting his family in a poorly lit space)
2. Pair multiple Bluetooth devices. My LG g2 could pair my pebble time steel and two other devices. One could be paired to play media and the other would be set for calls only and they were remembered.
3. Custom alarm tones. I thought the pure meant that there wouldn't be any restrictions and everything would be customizable like the good windows phones.
I'm sure these problems have been solved but I couldn't find it by searching the forums so maybe someone could point me to the best mod for this phone please?

Facing lots of problems in my new Huawei P10 plus

Hi,
I bought new Huawei p10 plus flagship with lots of expections but I am frustrating with few issues.
Firstevice is overheating excessively when i connect net or play game.I tried few cooler master type app from appstore but those doesnt work.
Second:I downloaded a lot of call recording app from playstore but none of those works.I hear my sound only.
Third: My front facing camera looks a bit blur to me.Is it for image stabilization?If yes then how to turn it off?
Fourth:When i download any app from playstore each and every app requires permission to access my phone my images and everything and if i click deny none of app run.I feel insecure cause I have to allow every app forcefully
I am tired of these issues and i got no solution from youtube.I would like to mention that I'm running model-VKY-L29 build number VKY-L29C63B151 EMUI version 5.1 Android version 7
Please help me as soon as possible cause I am really tired of each issues.

Try upgrading the firmware, maybe it helps. i have two p10 plus and I have no such issue on any of the devices. if its new it must be under warranty get it replaced.

Hi!
1: It's not overheating, it's normal when you play games that requires a lot hardware acceleration. Also, don't play hard games when charging the phone, then is overheating!
2: It will do the same on EVERY PHONE! Or use a paid call recorder app. You did expect to find a free call recorder app?
3: When starting the front camera, the portrait effect is always ON! Disable it and your pictures will be fine (you have a small icon in the upper side)
4: THIS IS HOW ANDROID IS BUILD! Every app you download it will ask for your permission. It's first time you are using Android??
Conclusion:
- you never had an android phone before (probably you are very young);
- you didn't read the Huawei P10 manual (everything is explained there).
Stop blaming on the phone, is not the phone, it's YOU!

How can i force VR (Side-By-Side) Mode on ANY Android Smartphone (Systemwide like K6)

Hello,
i have bought a Lenovo K6 and it has and integrated support for VR, splitting screen system-wide in two as shown in this picture. I find that extremly convenient, because i can surf the web outside with one of those VR-Glasses.
As far as i know it's only supported on a few Lenovo K... devices, but as i may need to buy a need phone i'd like to know how to upgrade another phone that hasn't got this option so that it is also able to do that. There's of course no gyroscope necessary as there is no 3D maneuvering going on, just seeing the screen in full-size through those glasses via SBS (Side-By-Side) View.
So what i need is simply a Splitscreen, does anyone know an option to do that? Would be very appreciated :angel:

I saw this on a K6, too. I would like to do this on my Redmi Note 8 Pro, too. Did you find a solution yet?

I noticed that on my Lenovo note K5 too... But now that I have a VR headset I no longer have that phone working. R8 now I am using realme 5 pro .. and looking for any apps/ magisk module that could give me that VR split screen function ....

I've been searching this for a long time still haven't got any solution. I am using Samsung J6+. If got any module or any app, please post it here. I don't know why it is too hard to just duplicate the screen to two. Why isn't there any magisk modules yet.

[Discussion] What are your problems with the 5T?

I have had this phone for more than 4 months now, and I have 2 problems with it (both software), which OnePlus failed to fix over several updates, even though they are aware of these problems.
My first problem is the panorama mode. This phone makes just the worst panoramas. My hands are a little shaky, and the pictures that come out are completely unacceptable (even though it doesn't have ois) for a "flagship killer". I had a Nexus 5X before, which made almost always perfect panoramas with a much worse camera. I feel like the devs put the panorama mode in the camera just so that it has the feature, but didn't spend any time on the algorithm.
My second problem, which is the bigger one is about bluetooth. First of all, the phone had/has a weird bug where if you turn on the bluetooth then go to the bluetooth menu to choose which device you want to connect to (either by long pressing the bt icon in the notification bar or from the settings app), the ui would freeze and you have to wait a half-a-minute or so, for the ui manager to restart (in older versions of oos, the phone itself restarted). Now in 5.1.1 it doesn't do this as often as it used to, but it still happens. The second issue with bluetooth is connectivity. Sometimes when I have my headset turned on and I turn on bluetooth on the phone it connects right away (like it should) and I am happy.
Other times (most of the time actually) I have to manually select which device I want to connect to (bringing us back to freezing), and even then it still takes a couple tries for the phone to succesfully connect.
So these are my 2 issues with this phone, I hope they will get fixed soon. I feel like the dev team is always working on the next phone after release, and they don't spend anywhere near enough man-hours on released device support.
Other than these, I'm loving this device, it's fast, has great battery life and does everything well.
Do you have these bugs, do they bother you or do you have any other problems with the phone you would like to share?

I have to ask but have you done any factory resets? Never once heard of either of these issues

Yes, I have, I clean installed 5.1.0. I read about both problems on the OnePlus forums, so I guess it's not just me. But I can try when I have some time to reinstall the phone. Btw, I am running oos 5.1.1 rooted, nothing else, so I don't think that is the problem.

Dont know about the panaroma mode but i face no issues like you mentioned regarding Bluetooth.
Try flashing an OOS based custom rom and see how that treats you.

my only main issue with this phone is the oil painting effect.

My issues are Oil Painting and broken Camera2 API

Camera post processing!

The way the Alert Slider works and how we can't customize it to our needs. But I guess this is a problem with all OnePlus phones.

U tried this?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.seveilith.oxygen.slider

Things I am not comfortable with are
1). Notification dropdown works even on lock-screen.
2). you can power off the device from Lock-screen.
Both are security concerns as someone can turn wi-fi and data off or power down the device if found or stolen.

Z3 compact user in 2019

Hello,
I am getting my z3 compact tomorrow. I would like some input from existing users about the phone:
1) which official rom will give me the best user experience, meaning best camera, snappiness, the least problems/bugs. I usualy prefer the rom that the phone was shipped with, so is there a reason to go to newer rom, meaning better battery life, bug fixes, better camera ?
2) as i know camera on this phone is horrible, what do i need to know to get at least mediocre performance out of it ? Do u suggest superior auto or manual ?
3) anything else i need to know ? I will mostly use it for calls, camera, occasionaly google maps and music, almost never for webpage browsing or videos, never for games

1) I use the official .291 ROM with MM
2) Use the Cyberian camera mod and Manual mode
3) There is the common touch screen issues and issues with 3.5jack

1) i have it at 6.0.1 right now. I would rather remain at stock since i dont wanna mess up camera keys and add more bugs.
2) do i have to root phone for this cyberian camera ? Could you quickly explain what gains i get with it over default camera ?
3) i didnt get touchscreen issues, didnt test 3.5 jack yet. The only problem i had so far was that when i wanted to take a photo and before taking it, i was moving phone very quickly and suddenly i got artifacts and screen tearing on screen. 1 thing to note is that phone was quite warm at the moment because i was bulk installing apps. After that i wasnt able to replicate the problem again. I hope it was momentary thing and that phone will work ok

Btw phone is updated to last rom and factory reset (actualy factory reset 2 times in a row). And there is a wierd thing. When i connect to my computer, i want to be able to access my pictures right away. But instead i have to click mtp mode on screen of mobile phone. I went to connectivity and basicly i have no option there to change default connectivity mode - the only thing there is option to automaticly install software when connected to pc. Is there a way to change things so that when i connect the phone to pc, i dont have to press anything and be able to access pictures right away

No one using this phone anymore ?

i'm still sticking with z3c, but i'm a noob, probably not the best person to answer your question.
i have never tried official stock 6.0.1, i tried slimm 6.0.1 and existenz 6.0.1 but the battery life is disappointing.
at the moment i'm going back to official stock 5.1.1 with cyberian camera.
i think u need to root, (after root, CLEAR DATA "Camera","Camera Common" & "Video" and then flash cyberian camera via recovery)
i never had ur screen tearing issue.

Miui 7, Androplus Kernel v32' and living normally...

z3c my emergency mobile..existenz rom. is a pseudocustom that preserves all the functionality Z series, ant +, mirrorlink 1: 1, etc. mobile 10, comfortable, beautiful, well built, much better than the later z5c. I have had 2 z3c and 2 z5c and the z3c is much more device. I have had the bad luck to always have devices with the bootloader closed(prototype) and not be able to enjoy them 100%, but existenz is very good rom for daily use

Don't worry about that, it's normal. It was one of the "great" and new features in android MM. Every device which runs stock, or nearly stock android MM will do the same when connected to a PC. So seriously, no worries, it's okay, you'll always need to select MTP.

Btw touch focus doesnt work in camera. I click on a spot but it does nothing. I would really love to have option to focus to my liking before taking a picture. And i dont want to use dedicated camera button

You're in Manual Mode? There's no Touch Focus option in Superior Auto.

There are lots of used Z3 Compact ads for sale with the touch not working.

I'm using omnirom 8.1 and z3c.

The touchscreen-issue is very common on this phone indeed. I exchanged my touchscreen of my 3-year-old Z3C by myself and if you have some suiteable tools, a calm hand and a bit of time, the process is possible for an average-experienced user. There are lots of Youtube-Videos as well. My girlfriend had a Z3C as well and the touchscreen of this phone was broken too. Seems like planned obsolescence?

Carbon Rom Oreo. It's always been my go to rom when I cannot find a smooth and fluid rom, or when the rom doesn't support the device's specific features , such as the z3c's camera button. I've used the rom on the z3c for all of 2 days so far and I'm continually amazed at how the devs have managed to create such a polished experience.

Is your phone D5803 or D5833? Mine is the second one and just can't boot if I install any custom ROM. I tried many but none worked

1. Stock Rom 6.0.1, Lollipop 5.1.1 is more smooth and not heating
2. Use cyberian mod, using manual mode had more good image than superior auto but you must set the manual settings first
