Hey guys, new to the site and the Tilt, but Ive done a lot of research without being able to get an answer to this issue with setting the background.
The only way for me to set the wallpaper the way i want it is to set it from file explorer, by holding down on the picture and setting it as the background without having to go into Pictures & Video. Doing it this way however the background comes out very faded and it does not ask you for the option of setting the transparency level. However if I do go into Pictures & Video and do it through there the wallpaper gets cut up in Landscape mode and I end up seeing 1 and a half wallpapers.
Does anyone know how to change the transparency level without having to set the background through the Pictures & Video folder???? I mean its not the end of the world but its so frustrating that the wallpaper is either Normal but Faded, or Full Color but distorted. I love the tilt but this particular problem is making me GRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHH
Mine doesnt become faded if I go through the way the book that came with the phone tells me to . . . . . . . .
Start----> settings----> today----> check the box that says "Use this picture as the background"
Using the browser that pops up, select the picture you want to use . . . .
i did it that way and the picture is faded but the wallpaper does not get cut up in landscape mode, how did you get it to not fade is there another option to set the today background transparency??

easy way to make a landscape and portrait wallpaper:
Let's call base file a "tutor.jpg" (best size is 240x320 - portrait mode)
Now:
1. Copy "tutor.jpg" 3 times, so you get:
-"tutor.jpg",
-"Copy of tutor.jpg",
-"Copy 1 of tutor.jpg",
-"Copy 2 of tutor.jpg",
(or similar),
2. Open "Copy 1 of tutor.jpg" with Windows Picture viewer, and rotate it as you wish but for landscape mode.
3. Do the same with "Copy 2 of tutor.jpg",
4. Change the names of files:
- "tutor.jpg" to "stwater_240_320.gif"
- "Copy of tutor.jpg" to "tdywater_240_320.gif"
- "Copy 1 of tutor.jpg" to "stwater_320_240.gif"
- "Copy 2 of tutor.jpg" to "tdywater_320_240.gif".
5. Copy all files to /Windows directory and overwrite current one.
6. Put the phone to landscape mode, and then again to portrait - it will change all wallpapers.
Hope I'm clear with that.
Side note:
tdywater files are for today background,
stwater filer are for start menu background.
240_320 - portrait,
320_240 - landscape.
Little bit complicated, but best .
Cheers,
Chris
The best way to do this properly is to create a new theme (*.tsk) with ThemegenCE for the PC. Just do a search here or on Google and you will find it (freeware). It's a great app!
Use any image and the app will crop it accordingly for both landscape and portrait.
If this is a bit too dauting for you then use TKCreator which is a freeware app for the device itself and you can create your own themes right on your device. Images should be as close as possible to QVGA dimensions, but the app will allow some latitude for cropping.
Good luck!

I noticed that people complaining from the silfie photo which to be honest look terrible ( completely washed out photo )
So I found one trick that can partially solve this problem and it is easy + fast + practical to use in day to day usage but first of all you need to install google photo in your phone then proceed.
*After taking a silfie press the photo from your camera ( left bottom corner)
*Then press the 3 dots in the right bottom corner then choose advanced edit.
*Then choose google photo to do the editing
*In google editing I found the best option to solve the problem in the washed out photo is to choose the three lines in the bottom then boost the pop slider all the way up + boost the color slider all the way up
Hope you enjoy the result

Talk to your carrier support.
Also, post in a relevant thread.
In these thread i try to collect the best working gCam Version for the Xiaomi Mi A2 with the best functional and stable config. I get a lot of private messages because of the lack of good configurations. I try nearly every gCam version in the wild and always check the website from "celsoazevedo" for newer ones. Big THX to him, for the nice collection (www.celsoazevedo.com) and the Devs of the different kind of gCam mods. This mods are incredible and a game changer in the smartphone market! THX
Requierment: Activate Camera2Api
Best working Version so far (04.10.2018):
GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3bfix.apk
Info: Focus Dots on clear blue sky can be reproduced. On yellow (i have just a yellow book and a banana) is nothing to see. I will added the strengh of focus dots to my criteria. In the attachment are three cropped pictrure (1/9 of the pic - center/focus) of clear bright blue sky, a bookcover with an own structure and a banana - all in heavy sunlight. The dots are just slithly visible in the sky... The Focus Dots on SkulShady builds are way stronger and bigger. I will test more builds in the next days.
Whats not working (with this version+config):
- 1080p in 60fps (heavy zoom - every gCam Version)
- 4K Video (Fatal Error - every gCam Version)
- Motion Pictures ('No HDR' & 'HDR+' - brake frontcam in normal mode)
Missing Features:
- Google Lens (need build 5.3.x)
- 20MP front-cam mode (just 5MP - every gCam Version, because camera2api limitation)
Working:
- All Photo features front+back
(Panorama, Photo Spehre, Focus Effect, Portrait)
- No HDR, HDR+, HDR+ enchased
- 1080p (30fps)
- Slow Motion Video (120fps)
- RAW+JPEG
- front focus led in 'No HDR' pictures
See config in the Attachment! :highfive: and dont forget to close and restart the app after configuration.
Update (06.10.2018): A new (older release) gladiator entered the arena to mess with Arnovas release. In reason of focus dots i played around with this version of gcam (THX to saneklic):
GCamera_Mod_v.5.1.23_R5Plus_fix_crash.apk
Unfortunatly its very cloudy in marroco, but first tests show no focus dots. More tests and a deep comparision (even with longer exposure pics) will follow. The important thing is, this release support the same video and photo capabilities. But more tests will come... At first this release is the new compatitor. The settings are complete different and i think, maybe low light might be difficult to beat, compared to Arnovas release - but we will
Update ENdOfLife: My device rebooted and stayed in a bootloop. I tryed to flash just the boot img etc. but the storage mmc gets corrupted :silly: all my vacation pics are gone. Thank sou Xiaomi. I send the device back and bought a OnePlus 6. Thats why im out here - sorry! :crying:
My Device: Xiaomi Mi A2 64/4 (no root/camera2api :good
But arnova's show the worst focus dots

Im actually for 10days in Marraco and make every picrure with the gCam (bright, dark, high contrast pictures) and cant recognize any focus dots :fingers-crossed. But i will take care about that dots
Update: i made some bright blue sky pics and can see the dots. I will try to find a plane yellow surface. But actually all seems fine. (I know, Arnova posted about a wrong raw mode from the dual camera driver - but still, i cant the any dot).
Update2: On a yellow book i photographed is nothing to see. But i put my attention to the strengh of the dots
Update 3: yellow banana in bright sun - no dots.

Check Settings for: „use classic smartburst“, restart App (close complete and Start) and voila
Im sure, front cam just works right now, when you switch at first to portrait mode and then switch to frontcam.
GCam_5.3.015-Pixel3Mod-Arnova8G2-1.4.apk

Which settings use you?
its been 20 days i got the rog 2 and things i find annoying are
1. the whole screen flashes green when FPS is scanning my finger (MKBHD also discussed this in his review)
2. when you double click the power button a yellow border flashes around wallpaper on lock screen ( this only happens when you have two different wallpapers for lock screen and home screen )
3. when i open armory crate and exit, it automatically becomes default home app.
4. i disabled some google apps (chrome,duo,youtube,photos) but these apps are automatically enabled and updated every morning.
5. lastly RED TINT

if not then a factory reset could do something for u if its a developer option thing

Firstly what firmware version you on? Maybe more details would help
1. I don't get a screen full of green, but the screen is slightly brightened with a greenish brightness. I assume this is the issue. Most phones (inc Oneplus phones) with optic FPS do this as the bright green FPS light also partly turns on other oled pixels. Some other manufacturers lower the brightness of the finger print sensor light, which then has the effect of inaccurate print reads. I dunno, I like how fast the FPS unlocks the phone, its one of the quickest - if the slightly brightened screen is the sacrifice, I'm ok with that :good:
2. I can't replicate this
3. I can't replicate this
4. Why do you need to disable these core google apps?
5. Red tint is hardware - its been slightly improved with the latest WW-16.0631.1910.35 firmware, but this oled screen has a dominant red gamut - every oled screen has a dominant colour (either blue, red or green) so just have to deal with it. :good:

Hi Everyone,
I love the camera of my MI11U. but there are a few tunings that I REALLY HATE!!! one of them is default beautify in selfie and portrait. taking photos of black objects (tried with GCAM which took a perfect shot). and a few minor others.
Searching here and there, I found a way to turn off and on some additional settings like beautify and some other functions. this will help whoever understand all these settings (not me ), so I thought to share this simple method and see your thoughts and outcomes. ***note that there are some settings are in Chinese***.
1 . go to file manager and go to phone storage....
2 . go to DCIM/camera
3 . make a new folder with the name mentioned below....
lab_options_visible
4 .save and exit.....
5 . go to settings and force stop the miui camera app....
6 . now launch the app.....
7 . go to camera settings menu of the app.....you will see new options available in there....
8 . just turn off beautify in portrait mode....
9 . come back....change to selfie mode....tap on the blue star.....now tap on clear.....
Hope this helps everyone to take better photos.
would much appreciate if we can share the benefits of these settings in order to get best results.
Wow, this is amazing. Thx
Hi Hassanaliyeh , which version of gcam do you use?

I am using GCam Wichaya 8.1.101 V1.4
it is not perfect, original xiaomi camera is impressive with all functions and control of device way better than GCam. but GCam is better in some conditions and scenarios like taking a photo of a far black object or photos of people. with Xiaomi, far black objects will be like a void in a photo and no details at all in it, and beautify is so annoying. with GCam, both are better, but colours are less vibrant and saturated.

The reason I made this thread is to share experience and understand what exactly they do. I really do not know any other that beautify in portrait disables it for all camera modes and not only portrait.
I found the following over internet by someone tested them on Mi10 devices, and some features are not mentioned or were disabled with previous devices. hope it helps at a start.
Internal magic tools : activates internal tools to improve the quality of photos and videos.
Face detection : the mobile camera can recognize the face and frame it in a box to improve the result.
Hide face detection frame automatically : this option hides the box that appears when activating the previous option but keeps the improvements.
Beautify in Portrait mode : Activate beauty mode in all camera modes.
Turn on dual camera : turn on dual camera to enhance photos.
Turn on dual SAT camera – currently does not have a user function.
Turn on MFNR : when activated, the device takes 6 consecutive shots which when superimposed and eliminate the noise from the photo.
Turn on SR : with this option the resolution of the image is enlarged as if the sensor of the mobile were larger.
Turn on quick shot animation : activate the quick shot animation in the app.

Thanks for explaining the features.
Thanks for the tip. One of the options I really like to see is the ability to pick the metering type (full frame average, center weighted average or spot metering). Can be quite useful. Seems like center weighted is the default.

Tried on xiaomi.eu latest weekly and didn't work. There is a modded miui cam in a Telegram group. Can't give TG links since some butthurt people hate me and sharing TG links appears to be against the "rules". Just search up "Sevtinge's Mods". That cam got many more options to tweak for, especially the Leica stuff.
