Oh hell, yes i found it. Not really easy accessible and usable. I changed my feature-request ^^
Sent from my GT-P5110 using xda premium

-an API for manual control of the camera in our own apps, ex: shutter speed, Aperture, everything in "expert" mode, etc.
-time lapse option that bypasses the preview requirements. ex: time lapse with screen off to save battery
-unlimited continuous mode. ex: take pictures as fast as hardware allows and save them until the SD card is full

checking for protrusions in front of the lens when camera is activated on start up or activated by apps
else this happenshttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38367332#post38367332

Speaking of remote, how about publishing the remote protocol so we could write special purpose apps with vastly greater control than just launching a "take picture" intent.
And two new options in settings:
1) Don't start camera on power up.
2) Remember my default preference for using the sdcard, don't keep asking on every power up.

+1 for these 2

evSril afflicted

+ 1 : Don't start camera on power up., straight to dashboard would be better
+1 for some type of Focus Control
:- 30 Second Shutter Window instead of 16 seconds
:- Different Flash Modes, maybe its me but I can only see auto, Rear ,Slow Fill etc.

hello
it was helpful thanks

- advanced panorama features like in LG's new phone (LG G Pro) and Samsung WB850F compact camera
- 3D panorama
- action panorama
-3D photo with one lens (as in WB850F)

Normal voice phone calling!
+1 To remember SD card setting on start up
+1 To not start Camera App on start up
+1 Flash auto fill mode
+1 Higher resolution Panorama modes
+1 3D Photo Options
What about untimed video recording option? Currently limited to 25 minutes.
And of course the most important:
PLEASE ALLOW NORMAL VOICE PHONE CALLING!

Sv: What features do you want updated/integrated from Samsung?
+100000000 for most of those named earlier.
Personally, I am really disappointed with the lack of fine-grained manual controls (even in manual mode). What I would really appreciate is
manual focus control
manual flash control (mostly intensity)
smarter handling of flash in all modes: when popping up the flash in auto-mode, chances are, I did it on purpose. If the light conditions don't seem to make use of flash necessary, use it for fill-in, already.
better use of screen estate / refined controls in manual mode. Of course, the huge dials for manual settings do work, but at least for me, they simply steal focus from taking the image. Give me onscreen buttons to modify the function of the zoom-rocker in real time instead, as is done with the dialer on SLRs: hold button for AE and the rocker changes exposure compensation instead of zooming etc...
Sent from a compact camera (Samsung Galaxy Camera, EK-GC100)

Manual focus control
Manual flash control
Faster and better autofocus

Manual White Balance, Can make phone calls maybe because for now i fell interrupted with no native app phone call... when i want check balance of my sim card i should swap to another phone and new features on camera like sgs 4 :fingers-crossed:

i need Manual focus control, Manual flash control

Manual focus slider
+1 for all above,
personally I've mostly missed manual focus, as I like to take shots of moving objects, or objects that are not yet in view.
is there any workaround app for the manual focus ?
also full remote controls for the remote viewfinder would be nice.

+1 dont start camera on power up !
like every digicam has a switch for viewing pictures without turning on lens motor ..

that the low call volume on cm10 has to do with the noise cancelling mic not liking the AOSP drivers

Did you ever get data work in on this bad boy... and... is this a real patchrom port?
Sent from my Vivid 4G using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Whenever I initially flashed this ROM (which I believe is the same one in the development section), I had issues with skipping whenever I was testing ViPER Audio, which I never had before. More than likely it was the fact that MIUI typically runs slower on lower end devices (unless it was the combination of FX + XHiFi), but after I flashed the Sultan Kernel I didn't seem to have any problems with that.
Along with that, I never tested data on the original kernel, but when I ran into the problem on my current kernel I just went to "Access Point Names" and changed it from ATT - wap.cingular to ATT- Phone. That seemed to clear up any connection issues when using data...
But again, that's assuming that both posts contain the same ROM.
Also, thank you for posting this, I've been dying to get my hands on this version for a while now. Seems like the HTC Vivid is starting to regain a bit of momentum again.
Cheers!

I couldn't get bluetooth to work on this rom (in development section sharing your name on the kernel). I tried Sultan's kernel, and it also didn't have working BT. Anyone else have luck with BT?

[ROM] Mokee MK71.1 z2pro OFFICIAL NIGHTLY [05/04]

Follow the official mokee link 7.1.1
Https://download.mokeedev.com/?device=z2pro
MK71.1-z2pro-201704051639-NIGHTLY.zip

Are there any bugs? Or is everything working..

It is call experimental. Hmmm lets think about what should mean ??
Gesendet von meinem Z2 Pro mit Tapatalk

It means total crap, just installed it and after I realized that it have Google Camera instead of Cyanogen Camera App I've just restored from my last backup with the Unofficial MK71.1 because it is far better than this Experimental crap
Изпратено от моят Z2 Pro с помощта на Tapatalk

On my side, I just installed as well and I won't judge it as crap version so fast.
Give me 1-2 days to test and will give you my feedback.
Quick 1st overview:
Same as for the other ROMs, vibration is now working but no blinking LED.
Otherwise no chinese apps installed

I've rolled back to the unofficial mokee rom aswell. audio didn't work for me. the camera was bad and the utouch was not usable compared to the unofficial version. I get that it's experimental. I hope to use it when it's stable.
Edit: There is an update with nightly status. did anyone check for bugs?

Has anybody tried the latest nightly (MK71.1-z2pro-201704051639-NIGHTLY.zip)?

I'm currently using the one from today 0406
It's stable, but:
- camera has focus vibration defect
- no vibration
- only back & home action on physical button (long touch does not trigger recent apps)
- Brightness slider looks broken
- Camera app takes ages to launch, so does the flashlight

Hi there.
For recent apps try slide from left to right on physical button...

Haha you rock man.
It works. The recent screen displays free ram & clear all button.
Right to left opens menu options.

the new nightly is usable as a daily driver. 2 bugs I found are taking a picture with flash enables crashes the camera and only a reboot makes it usable again and during a call its not possible to use the mic when the main speaker is enabled. This Rom is awesome . I'll keep it on my phone.

Sadly the hands-free issue is a very old one. Same situation in Mokee MK60.1...or all other custom roms for z2 pro!
Furthermore UTouch is not working like it should do i guess?!

U-Touck Works?
Led blinking works?
Battery is good?
Right now i am with ressurection remir but i allways try MoKee.
Thanks in advance.

By the way, if you find yourself wanting soft navigation buttons as well to supplement the semi-functioning U-Touch button, add the following line to your /system/build.prop file and reboot:
"qemu.hw.mainkeys=0"
This has the added benefit of giving you back the option for left/right cursor control buttons when typing (which I always enable personally), and long-press gestures that would otherwise conflict.

Is this built better than the Resurrection Remix Rom?
After reading the thread I thought this one has more bugs

Just a question, have you activated vibration in sound menu? Because it works on my side, just need to be switched on.
As well does the brigthness bar, but you need first to desactivate Auto brightness.
Otherwise I agree on the issues linked to the camera.

i don't understand why i need to activate vibration in sound ?
When i press volume down, before the "Alarms only" i have the vibrate mode. Can't get vibration working here. It is supposed to vibrate for everything, SMS, calls, etc.
About the brightness, i'm confused as well because with all previous roms, even having adaptive brightness, we were able to slide it to express our preferences, whether we want it overall bright or dark.
What camera app are you using ?

Well maybe you don't understand but I am just telling you how to make it works, then up to you to do it or not.
Vibration is working for me in all modes (with or without ring) and for everything (SMS, call, whatsapp => for any notification)
For camera, I kept the one provided in the ROM, actually I don't use often the cam so I don't care that much.

and the brightness slider is denfenitly working, as long as you deactivate the auto brightness

Ok, when you use it, do you have the continuous autofocus vibration problem ?
Now i have to hit the phone like 9 out of 10 times to take a picture... Annoying !

Few things i noticed after upgrading to Android Q

I made a post after getting pie update and now, here is an in-depth list of features of android Q in ZMP M1
all phones are not getting the same features
removing screen lock /fingerprint doesn't save you from password after update (at least it didn't work for me ) make a backup of everything in case you need to reset
list of things I'll suggest making a backup
WhatsApp chat
google photos
apps with es file explorer or any such file manager
settings + contacts+ call log+ messages from settings backup
notification led :
I like to turn it off all the rime even when charging but in android Q I couldn't find any way to disable it during charging
i was checking my old post about pie
1. Ambient Display : settings>display>advance>Ambient Display
It works only when you get a notification (its dope would like it being enabled always) though Daydream nowhere to be found.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so ambient display is gone screensaver is back (edit: its renamed and moved to display lock screen area as new notification toggle)
volume panel:
change volume click more slider button and this is how to devolve UI it shows a big screen covering prompt to show sliders
font in developer settings only two options device default seems better
no third-party launcher supports the new gesture navigation but it is a problem on google's part
left earphone to week? there is audio balance in assessability settings
vibratin and haptic feedback in assessability
not the true dark mode in assessability settings dark theme and color inversion options are nearby enough to test what we could have got for dark mode
dark mode doesn't get turn back to a light mode in live wallpaper
assessability volume key shortcut might come in in handy for some but it makes a notification sound
there is charging sound and vibration in sound settings might want to turn it off, I have seen Samsung charging sound but Asus just makes the phone vibrate with a faint sound might scare people who don't know as it's on by default in android q
I am getting the rotate once button in navbar when autorotate is off I am using two-button navigation and a small circle when using gesture
the lockdown option to prevent unlock by any other means now also prevents notification to show can be enabled in display>lock screen display> show lockdown option
in gesture navigation you can swipe up and continue in an app to make it go smaller beyond it should go
to start android it asks for setup screen lock password it is stepping in the right direction but we should have it in kernel/bios as once entered in recovery mode anyone can reset a phone
QR code to share wifi available
still no way to monitor or block devices connected to your hotspot
default Bluetooth name QCOM-BTD Qualcomm's BLE chip?
widgets to settings shortcut there should be system UI tuner after opening it shows this funny warning message
apps notificatio>notification snoozing useless button more useless because cant see snooze option in youtube notification
battery saver got new auto turn off at 90% feature
battery picture in battery settings seems thick would prefer "ampere app" like stats in later versions
display don't have color temperature adjust
accelerated location something about data storage and data concent
high accuracy, battery saver, etc options for location not available
google play system update is 1 January 2020 please update it
security patch is 5nov 2019
privacy section is great but would like fingerprint prompt in autofill scenario as like for wifi sharing
digital wellbeing well let's skip it as I already have 18 unlocks 1 hr30 mins in the settings app and will have 4hr+ in youtube so let's skip it
verificatin code auto fill in google settings I something nice to have but also worrying
now you can directly launch apps from app info after force stopping
in about phone >emergency info> medical info you can add your profile pic and emergency contacts
dev options> picture color mode sRGB does this option even work any were?
in dark mode theme when searched in settings there is a white padding
dev options> game driver properties I don't know what it does perhaps boost graphics performance
feature flags section in dev options shows nothing except experimental (edit: these were removed in Q beta 3)
system traces have many options like pre CPU buffer and in the category, it has some tick box options and possibly CPU performance after we stop getting updates
swipe up to recent in any navigation option seem a bit too sensitive
audio seems of though I only watched youtube (Linus tech tips) so far that is without headphones
in dev options audio Bluetooth codec shows APTX HD and other option which might make Bluetooth audio great
in dev options profile HWUI seems new but not sure what it is the bars shown on-screen seems familiar
in dev options adaptive notification priority makes no difference and doesn't have any description but a quick google search shows it is supposed to make low notification priority genital
in dev options apps can be installed in external storage option
in dev options force activities resizable doesn't work in split-screen view but I may be doing something wrong
also I hate the lock icon when unlocking also there is no center icon with face/fingerprint or padlock in lock screen
in dev options wifi entending option might help in office or home to extend wifi if it works
in dev options enable freeform windows doesn't work
in dev options forced desktop scant be tested as no video output but wireless display might allow haven't tested
in dev options I enabled bubble notification will add things that can access it
in dev options auto fill section is too vague and I am not getting what anything does
in the last pie post I said
2. icons in overview/multitasking screen
Settings>apps>default apps>home app> quick setup(new name for launcher3)>home screen>home settings>change icon shape >go back to your preferred launcher.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it is now in theming in dev options
also ambient display (not to be confused with screensaver) kicks in when getting notification while the screen is off (edit: realized after posting this Asus renamed and moved to it to display> lock screen display> new notification )
widevine changed to L3 its used to stream Amazon Prime Video, BBC, Hulu, Netflix, Spotify, and Disney+ use Widevine DRM to manage the distribution of premium content. as a college student who has no job and already has to spend money on Jio internet I don't have any above-mentioned subscriptions and if you do use any services according to other beta testers you won't be supposably able to access them while in beta.
camera app
in pro mode no shutter speed control option
max iso in pro mode is 1600 like in HMD global camera
auto video encoder is h264
portrait mode has extremely bad edge detection
night mode isn't that good
no fps option for video like 24,25,29.98,30,60 fps etc
no raw support in stock camera app resulting in assumption camera2api isn't enabled by default, though I enabled it in pie and it carried forward maybe so I am not sure.
it is a bit long but if you are reading this then thanks for reading till the end I'll format the whole thing later

{Mod edit: Quoted OP removed for better reading}
There's really no option for notification led,
You get wake display for new notifications in lock screen display
I don't like that either its ugly pie sliders were better.
Is that even important fonts are fonts and generally no aosp thing gets custom font support and Google sans are for pixel things. Idk about which fonts will our phone get.
Third party launchers will work after December android security patch builds.
Dark mode is in display options and works good.
I don't know what dark theme and wallpaper have to do.
The srgb thing works but android or its apps aren't made to use srgb colors default is rgb which is used by most of the web.
Feature flags were removed by Google in beta 3 of Android 10.
Force activities resizable makes apps which don't work or don't allow split screen (insta) are made to be opened in split screen.
Enabling free form works and can be accessed from recent apps screen - click the app icon - open in free form. (don't know how you tested it)
Auto fill helps in password managers to fill in usernames and passwords.
It's in wake display also same to your missing ambient display.
Other things I've left are either too much to explain / really broken / I don't care of those since I don't use it.
Widevine has changed to l3 you didn't notice.
Sound output isn't very great it'll be fixed in next build I've reported that to asus.

Would be interested to know how to turn off the lock screen. Lock screen none does not appear as an option.
Regards.

Gestures are enabled by Google after December security patch nova / most other launchers work with gestures. You can however use 2 button and 3 button navigation perfectly.
About that dark and black mode difference we don't have an amoled or led display it's an lcd so it won't make difference in battery but kind of personal choice. I like dark more than black.
The thing about wallpaper and dark thing - in android 9 dark/light theme was set by wallpaper color so live wallpapers needed to support color picker api to tell the device to keep light or dark theme. (it was half broken by asus as selecting dark theme should've disabled the api completely, but using pixel default live wallpapers they had that api so dark mode worked with them).
That srgb was being considered by Google they dropped it as it broke a lot of the things.
You can resize top and bottom windows just hold the middle line in centre and drag it where you want to put it. (I use 400 dpi so I get more steps).
It's because that feature is intended towards large screen tablets or foldables and Samsung made their own thing, (the free form window thing).
It's for devs making password manager apps or autofill apps those people need it for debugging, the logging levels are to make reports to find bugs, the max request is how many times in one field the autofill will attempt to fill in credentials. The max visible dataset is if you have multiple accounts to one app (take Gmail as example) so while trying to autofill it lists all of available accounts to show (I'm not an expert in this so I maybe wrong if needed confirm that.
About sound issue it is very real and use some good quality earphones or compare side by side with 060 running device.

Vibration Intensity

Really? Why is that? It's such a basic function...

Really SAMSUNG?? Just bought that phone - attempt to rehome from Xiaomi and this is the first thing I find.. but there is more. Xiaomi offers more granular android configuration out of the box - battery icons, performance and battery settings/optimization, resolution change (dpi).. when I opened settings on this phone I was quite shocked how limited it is..
Just to confirm - bottom line is Samsung knows about this limitation and has no interest to provide phone with proper interface since it is from mid-range family??
