Flash while camera is on - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion

Device I'm using: Redmi Note 4(Global Variant)
OS I used to use: MIUI 10
OS I'm currently using: Dot OS (8.1 Oreo Based)
On MIUI (Both 9 and 10), we have the support to use flash while the camera is switched on even while recording videos.
I use Video calling a lot and the problem with most of the custom ROMs is that. they don't allow flash to be switched on while the camera module is being accessed. This is frustrating as sometimes I need to show something to the other person but there isn't enough lighting in the environment. Developers should look at this thing :good:

Any fix for video calling on CM/AOSP/Slim based rom

So far, I have tried flashing stock camera, as well as AK kernels as suggested from oneplus forums. The cameras themselves work on certain rom(Exodus, Blisspop) but they do not work when you are making video call, and your phone just crashes or Skype app crashes.
Here is the link for the flashable stock camera for cm based ROM (you can flash hydrogen camera onto OxygenOs from this link):

Thanks.

Upgrading From 6.0.1 ROM to 7.x via TWRP-Best Nougat ROM for the Axon 7?

I haven't been following the Android scene lately, and have been thinking about upgrading to Nougat. I'm running an unlocked bootloaded, TWRP, and a "debloatded + root" ROM based off stock (can't remember which one). When I say "best ROM", to me that's the least problematic ROM. I'd like to have a ROM where the power management doesn't go crazy and force me to reboot in order to not have it auto-kill NPR One every day. I'm aware of the CyanogenMod / LineageOS shakeup, but I'm not clear on if there's a build for the Axon 7, and the state of things. It seems like about enough time has passed to where there would be a few Nougat ROMs out there where all the basic functionality is working (GPS, BlueTooth, etc), but I'm not sure what the good options are.
People running Nougat, do you have any suggestions for ROMs you're using / loving? In the past I've been quite happy with CM-based ROMs, but I'm not adverse to stock or stock-based setups provided they are less buggy than the stock Marshmallow ROM. I prefer to have a rooted device so I can use an adblocking solution if possible.

Well, if you have an A2017U or G, it's best to stick with Marshmallow. B15 (Nougat for the A2017U) is buggy and slow. A2017G doesn't have an official Nougat version for now, so in order to have Nougat you have to flash B15.
If you have chinese model, there's 7.1.1 which works better but some users are experiencing problems with the Google Play Store.
I don't recommend AOSP roms at all, they have many issues like:
Camera (currently it crashes when recording videos and the quality is subpar)
Bluetooth (many incompatibilities with some devices)
Sound (no dolby atmos and only one channel is working so speakers are mono)
Fingerprint sensor is very buggy on some devices
Animations are not as smooth
Sometimes the device will unlock to a black screen or an unresponsive desktop
Can't remember more, but there's more
There's only a few... Check them out.

Stick with MM, it's great. It's fluid, the camera is good enough, the sound is great and the battery life is very good.
7.1.1 is on the way for us A2017U users.

Havoc Latest build here
MI 9T Global , Latest Stock android 9 Miui 11 tested havoc / bootleggers / AOSIP
OK, in the past i tried almost all the roms that are available for the Redmi Note 5 PRO...
For the 9T all this 3 ROMS ( havoc / bootleggers / AOSIP ) are the same PIE version as my Redmi Note 5 pro....
-Same default apps each rom has, custommization, menus, options, sounds, boot animations... so if you are familiar ... it's the same thing
This 3 ones doesn't mess with the "mac adress" i don´t know what it is, but if you flash for example Lineage OS (mi 9t) and try to move to another rom you'll lose wifi in your phone , can re enable it by doing a not very complicated process... but even if you use miflash and flash Stock Firmware and Relock the bootloader that "mac adress thing" is going to stay and your wifi isnt going to work, you have to do the solution they provide to have wifi back, so i never flashed lineage... It's weird how flashing via Miflash all to stock cant solve that thing... I NEVER TESTED LINEAGE THIS IS WHAT I KNOW....
For the others ... all those 3 have same Mi 9t base funcionallity, they took the "base implemetation from Havok Dev" so ... , same issues for all this 3, double tap to wake doesn't work.... there is a module for magisk that force it but never tried , i use "raise to wake" then fingerprint, yes, fingerprint doesnt work with the screen off, you have to wake it...
OTG USB detection is random... not always, i have to reboot 1 or 2 times, until it can read it...
Hardware:
Actually in havoc, camera hardware retraction works well, no issues, no rare sounds... some times pop up camera opens randomly, maybe some incompatibility with 3rd apps using it and not closing it, but if that happens i open the camera, switch to selfie cam then to primary and it retracts again, then i reboot...for... just in case
GPS, proximity, all hardware working... led light ... all as far as i know....
There isnt a OTA working on custom Roms... y'know just click the button and automatic update happens, maybe because we dont have a official 100% functional TWRP or Mantainers need to pay some online storage.... for example if you do a factory reset in system options (any of this 3 roms) it only sends you to TWRP and dont wipe anything....
I was tired not having double tap to wake... so used mi flash and went Full Stock android 9 miui 11 Global.... my mistake, i relocked the ****ing bootloader, for my surprise it was instant this second time, i didnt have to wait a week or month, was just instantly...
And here i am again, in havoc...
This momment devs are almost jumping to Android 10 in all AOSP roms...
This roms are stable, my MI 9T is my main phone for work ... i need it working 100% and this ROMS are good to go.... i dont play too much, just clash royale....
battery depends on your use...
I want to try Paranoid Quartz, but there isn't a tutorial to "move safely between android 9 and 10 roms) , i want to make a step by step guide how to move, in what order, what TWRP, what firmware....etc
well thats my impression, sorry for my poor english im lazy to use translator.....
Rigth now i have the knowledge to unlock bootloader, install pie TWRP, install pie aosp roms, go back to stock.... not more....
Im staying in pie havoc for now, Dev is a good guy , good group in telegram....
And remember..... NEVER WIPE VENDOR, IT´S A ****ING LAW.... LOL
have a nice day

Best Rom with Signature Spoofing for MicroG

Hello,
I will receive my RN7 in few days to replace my old RN3P.
I don't want to continue to use google apps. I want to use MicroG but i need a custom rom with signature spoofing enabled.
What is the best rom? I don't need a rom with many tweeks. I like pure AOSP and Lineage OS but they haven't signature spoofing.
Thanks.
If you or someone else still seeks this like me back in March I compared the then candidates: crDroid 6.3, HavocOS 3.1, AospExtended 7 all based on Android 10. I did go with crDroid 6.3 and still have it (no updates because OTA / dirty flash is not possible and it seems not all updates worked flawlessly for others). crDroid 6.3 works well and I like the custom things. Now it seems a LineageOS 17.1 with MicroG is available, but I remain cautious about updating/changing because GCam EIS video performance is important for me and some say new ROMs use camera blobs which may cause EIS video problems. Latest AOSP base might even brake video recording (green screen).
Well, I've tested crDroid, AICP und LOS4MircoG for exactly this goal (= no google, no gapps etc)
The recommended crDroid 6.3 build (by @Chrismo) is a very good one, I had this in use until 3 weeks ago ..
Now I'm on this AICP build (https://dwnld.aicp-rom.com/device/lavender/WEEKLY/aicp_lavender_q-15.0-WEEKLY-20200701.zip) witch includes more actual security fixes and is a bit smoother in daily use (imho).
All the later builds (LineageOS4MicroG, crDroid, AICP) seem to have cam issues ..

What Gcam port do you use on your Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1?

If your Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 phone has been rooted / you are using a CUSTOM ROM, what Gcam port have you found works best?
After doing a clean custom ROM install and putting trCamera's port (trCamera_V1.1_Eugene_Onegin.apk) on the phone, I found that it does not crash, but it fails to save any photos when HDR is turned off (it's on by default) and I shoot using the default trCamera mode.
Parrot's Gcam port (MGC_7.3.020_Parrot043-v2.apk) seems to fully function. However, it is missing the Lens Blur feature found in trCamera's port, and in Arnova8G2's port that I used with my stock ROM (after rooting the phone).
Sadly, I remember that Arnova8G2's ports crashed when I tried to use them on custom ROMs.
Im using tr camera on evolution x and also used on pe+ havoc ion lineage colt superior and i didnt found issues.
And im using 2 tr cameras 1 from 6.2 and other 7.2
Edit : ive found youre issue use the tr cam 6.2 its working and also i dont shoot without hdr

Because I can't even find trCamera 6.2 at https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-tigr/, I installed the latest binary for trCamera: trCamera_V4_Stay_Safe.
As soon as I open the app, I get this error: "trCamera keeps stopping."
Unlike the earlier version of that app, version 4 has NO LENSE BLUR feature!
