Is there any non OOS based ROM with a perfectly working fingerprint scanner and primary camera. Something that's really stable?
Everything you find in this forum is perfectly stable, maybe with the exception of MIUI.
Oneplus limited custom ROMs by not releasing sources that would make slow motion video, HDR and the "HQ" mode work. This means these are broken on all non OOS based ROMs.
The fingerprint scanner will also get a bit slower, but it's still gonna beat an iPhone.

Would you recommend the jump from oxygen OS at the expense of, what you state to be, worse low light performance, removal of features like slow motion videos and HDR, and the slowing of the fingerprint sensor... I suppose it depends if you use the camera then and enjoy the speed of your phone unlock?

This is totally wrong. MIUI Xs is the only non OOS rom where the camera works perfectly including auto-HDR, Slow Motion and HQ as it is based on H2Os. I am using this build and it even has ota support for miui weekly. Don't flash any other builds like wu or ruy09 etc. Use this build : https://mega.nz/#!H5xEEARQ!jIFx7bad4wBN3s1xXmEd6-8EQGQETMD9_EWsjYWMWSM

Aside from the fact that MIUI doesn't boot on my device, it should be pretty stable. I seriously couldn't care less about the camera as long as it screws my phone up.
I like MIUI. Believe me, I tried. I downloaded every single version I could find, flashed all of them, none of them booted. Flashed fine, but then black screen, white notification LED, computer recognized the phone as Qualcomm debug mode. Yeah...
Works for some, not for me. And I'm not alone with this.

Try this Version. Believe me .... DO a clean flash --> Wipe everything including internal memory and flash from adb sideload.
Make sure your file system is F2FS and not EXT4. Update to latest nougat OOS and then flash as said above !!
If u want I can show my miui by uploading a video to youtube !!

Since we use 7.1.1 blobs from openbeta3 on this unofficial op3t optimized lineage build most camera issue are gone - OnePlusCamera from openbeta3 is included additionally.
Fingerprint sensor was never an issue on these builds.

Honestly: I don't know. To my own surprise it was just working. The only remaining issue: if you want to add a fp, you need to wait for some seconds before starting to register new fp; otherwise the fps is working as home button.

HDR on back cam is working - no HDR on front cam. What's still missing is raw.
I'm no photographer and I lack a good judgment for stills. I suggest you take a nandroid and check yourself if the rom (especially the cam) matches your demands.

I tried, but just like on OOS based ROMs, I cannot tell the difference between HDR being on or off. That's despite me giving it a challenging lighting situation.
With my Nexus 5, HDR photos had no EXIF info. At least no things such as ISO, exposure time. With the OP3T, I have full EXIF, which shouldn't be possible, because the whole point of HDR is that I don't have a single ISO value and a single exposure time value.
Due to the EXIF situation and the fact that I cannot tell a difference between pictures with HDR on and off, I concluded that it is not working. Am I the only one with this problem?
Can someone upload pictures taken back to back, where one was taken with HDR on and the other with HDR off?

There's a work around for this. Use on screen nav bar. And then register all your fingerprints. Turn it off afterwards if you don't want.

I think waiting some seconds is the better (aka faster) workaround: changing to onscreen nav bar and reverting back takes about 10ms. Waiting for 5 s takes 5 s... Just a matter of peesonal taste. Work around the workaround...

Purchased a new P9 Plus the other day and installed both Snapchat and Instagram. Went to take a video in Snapchat and as soon as I started recording the recorded frame-rate dropped to ~10fps making for a nice slideshow.
Also noticed this occurred in Instagram so it is not isolated to just the one app. I must also point out as soon as the recording started it seemed to zoom in slightly, unsure whether this has to do with the lens crop-factor or what.
Original camera app works just fine without any choppiness in recording.
This leads me to believe that it's something wrong with the firmware and makes me curious as to whether there is a solution out there (as I use Snapchat on a daily basis and this purchase was meant to be an upgrade, not a downgrade.)
Current version: VIE-L09C706B102
EMUI: 4.1
So using even more third party apps I am relatively confident it is instead just a Snapchat and Instagram related issue as other camera apps on the store don't seem to exhibit the same symptoms.
Submitted a bug report to Snapchat in an attempt to get it fixed. However I'm still convinced with a tweak somewhere in the Kernel and a rebuild I could flash a version that solves the issue. Anyone have ideas about where to look?

Ah right yea see you're on a much newer firmware version than I am (FYI I don't have a microsd in my device atm). I'm stuck with B102 here in NZ which is what I think the issue is. You wouldn't happen to know an easy method of debranding my device and potentially swapping to the international/EU version would you?

U should post this on P9 Plus forum, this is for P9.
Had the same problem, updated FW to EVA-L09C432B166, has up to Android Snapchat standards ever since (still kinda slow, but you know, some devs just don't like Android).
Do you guys have the same where it zooms in upon recording as well? I'm guessing this is because of some resolution change, but it's way too zoomed for my taste.
Here is a fix for the video recording not working. This fix works on my Stock Global ROM for the Helium. It may work on CM13 based roms but there may be bugs. This works on the 64/128gb Chinese Helium and the 32gb Chinese Hydrogen.

Thanks for trying. Just reporting... On CM13 third edition hydrogen fix doesn't work.The very first time it recorded video with no sound, then on second attempt it recorded just the first frame and no sound. Reboot doesn't help.

Try it on Resurrection Remix and let me know if it works on there. I don't have a Hydrogen so I can't test. There are also so many more options in Resurrection Remix that I don't even want to use plain CM13.
I try it in 2. Edition of CM13. Video work, but i have no Sound.
Tried it right now. RR V2 : Video works but playback seems to be 4x faster than normal. And no Sound.
I really hope you find the problem. It's simple the best phone I eher had.
I hope too, you can fix this. Big Thanks for your help and work.
Worked once twice in Remix. Now it only captures stills with sounds.
RR Mi Max Pro 128GB
Great job, working a treat - thank you.
I have researched/experimented with the video recording bug and I am pretty sure this is the problem.
That is exactly what happens on CM13 based ROMs on Mi Max. I have replicated it by rebooting with usb connected and recording works... dies after usb disconnect and device wakes from deep sleep. I even did dirty remux of brocken recording on my PC and it proved all video frames were there but with incorrect duration.
So looks like we have to wait and hope Xiaomi to fix the device firmware/kernel? part that causes the deep sleep problem on CM(very unlikely) or release source code.
As you probably know the list of all vendor files pulled from miui to build CM is based on the official CM device tree for Note 3 Pro(kenzo) which has very similar hardware... They even pull many of those files for kenzo from Mi Max miui base( android_device_xiaomi_kenzo/proprietary-files.txt). I compared the camera firmwares for both and it is exactly the same bit-by-bit. And yet kenzo CM13 don't have that problem. So it must be some other firmware part or kernel issue.
Also wondering why as far as I know miui doesn't have that problem using same firmware/kernel!? Must be something in the camera app or framework or something...

If I have time I will try to build xposed module to intercept the video and fix the first frame duration as dirty/temporary fix(as explained in the link).
EDIT: Ok... As prove of concept build xposed module for testing. It fixes recorded videos but needs some tuning... The first few audio samples are cut off in the repair process and audio gets out of sync. Have to figure out how to fix that...
Just install the attached apk, enable the module in xposed installer and reboot. That's it. Just record as usual. Works with CM and RR(not tested) build-in Camera apps only(for now...).

Seems to work on CM13 (3rd version) on my Hydrogen but only if the recorded videos are saved in internal storage (the camera apps non responsive if saving to sdcard). Thanks for putting this fix out, really appreciated.

I should've not called it a fix, it's just a dirty hack... I still can't find a way to sync audio/video properly. That sdcard problem is probably related to much lower write speeds.

Thanks for the explanation. Hopefully there will be a permanent fix to the video recording problem in due course. For now, your hack will come in handy.
Let's get back on-topic here thanks guys...
You may want to look at CPUAwake code. with CPUAwake enabled there is no problem with camera after deep sleep and overnight battery drain is still the same (0-1%). It will be great to make "dirty hack" independent from any app (xposed , cpuawake) as a piece of code (somewhere in boot.img inits?). Thank you. as for "no sound" in my patches/builds(some stock miui audio-related files files) I have no problem with it but in some cameras "mono" should be choosen as an audio source. or it could be only "mono" - never tried them separate.

Yep, my initial test confirms CPUAwake keeps video recording working after device wake up... Thank you for your discovery:good:
I tried a similar idea initiating wakelock before recording but it didn't work...
Is CPUAwake open source? Can't find any code...
I think if we open the hood (UI) there is a single line that tells to the system something like: "system, dont do this !"
somewhere in smalis. cant find it. even worse - dont understand smalis

I actually examined CPUAwake code and it uses android native wake lock acquire() call so nothing special there. And it doesn't release the wake lock till disabled. Don't like that... Trying to find better solution... We'll see...
Let me know if this fixes video recording on CM based ROMs...
Add these two lines to /system/build.prop:
Code:
media.camera.ts.monotonic=0
#[STRIKE]persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=true[/STRIKE]
... and do full reboot(not just soft). USB disconnected... Test video recording, if it works leave device with screen off for 5 minutes, test recording again. It should work(fixed)...
EDIT: I should've mentioned it will only work if video recording was working for you after fresh reboot but brakes when device wakes up from deep sleep... This means all early CM based ROMs are out... they didn't have any video recording working at all or no sound...
EDIT 2: Second line is not needed. Only first line keeps video recording working after deep sleep...

Alright guys, I spent a whole night researching and reading all the comments and discussions in a lot of threads related to Lenovo K3 Note and I just registered myself. Now, I want to install a custom rom and I found that the roms build by daniel_hk are the most reliable. But the thing is I'm not sure which one to install. LineageOS or SlimRoms or CarbonROM?
Please let me know which one is the best regarding Battery Back up, Ram and least lag ?
Also please post some significant Screen Shots of each roms Home, Menu, Settings, Notification Bar, etc.
So that I can see which one looks better for my taste.
And lastly please post all the fixes available and the best karnel.
I'm sure everyone in the K3 Note community will be helped through this thread.
Also I'm a total noob in this department so please ignore any of my idiocy as I don't know everything.
Thank you very much.
As far as I'm concerned, there are no stable Android 7.1 ROMs for this device yet. They all suffer from a serious flaw in one way or another - either video recording not working properly, video playback not working properly, poor battery life, misconfigured buttons or just random glitches and bugs that shouldn't happen, even after flashing fixes. I tried both Carbon ROM and LineageOS but I had to return to stock. Then again, the Stock ROM has poor memory management so it lags a lot. It's a shame, I've probably tried around 15 ROMs and the only one that was moderately stable was AOSP Vibe 6.0 which was a remixed china dev ROM but that has problems with internal storage glitches which causes all the userdata to be moved to another folder randomly (don't ask me why this happens, I really don't know but it is frustrating and happened twice, had to move all my files over again).
If you know of a fully stable AOSP ROM, even if it is 6.0, I'd be very keen to try it.

Thanks for the helpful information, but I know k3 note is yet to receive a fully stable custom rom. Knowing that I still want to install a custom rom by daniel_hk cause firstly the stock rom is very laggy and I cannot work with it and to my knowledge those three roms has received almost all the necessary and essential fixes already. for example the YouTube zoom thingy and the snapchat thingy got fixed I heard and many others. I think I can live with minor bugs like gps navigation not being able to be correct and **** like that. That's why I'm asking which one should I go with between these three.
Fair enough, but the ROMs from daniel_hk, whilst good, are definitely still in beta. YouTube zoom isn't fully fixed even if you flash the patch. If you go from 1080p to 720p, or 720p to 480p, you will get a zoom bug. 1080p videos recorded on the device do not play back in the gallery app or MX player, and the flashlight turns off by itself if you turn the screen off. Otherwise performance is good.
Edit: Carbon ROM is the only one with the latest fixes so I'd go for that.

In the previous build of lineage, the hotspot issue still has not fixed. I've to configure hotspot fresh everytime if I want to connect it to my PC or other device otherwise it just shows connecting and never connects. Is there any specific fix for that?

Not at the moment. And there are still issues with video playback, flashlight and camera video focus.
Lineage OS 14.1 is the one I've been happiest with. There are niggles and glitches, with battery being the biggest. On the whole I accept it's still work in progress. Stick to stock if you need stability.

It depends on what you want, no custom nougat ROM has it all....
Having tested it all, I use Resurrection Remix 5.8.2 with March 5 security update.
Battery life is about 30 - 45 minutes less than Daniel's Rom but the smoothes of the performance is better.
#1 It has super fast charging (2180Mah)
#2 GPS locks in few seconds.
#3 Hotspot works once you on it off it and on it again.
#4 YouTube works perfectly
#5 Video recording does not crash at all, with or without flashlight. Footej camera works perfectly which is a plus for me, whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram, periscope works well with the camera.
#6 it works perfectly with three different custom kernels I've tried on it. (I currently use the latest Daniel_hk kernel with voltage tuning & OC)
It serves me well and since I have 2 spare batteries I don't bother however, tweaking the kernel to powersave gives me more juice.
So, it depends on what is a deal breaker for you.
I've used 2 AOSP Nougat that are very good but since all AOSP Nougat Audio recording level is low, which is a deal breaker for me, I switched to LineageOS before hitting RR Nougat.
FYI Footej Camera only works because it records in 720p by default. 1080p recording is the problem.
By the way - I got fed up with bugs so I created my own debloated VibeUI ROW ROM with a nexus feel - so far it seems to work well and no signs of lag so far. I think the lag isn't caused by the core ROM, but the add-ons that Lenovo insist on adding. If there are no major issues I'll upload it by the end of the week

It serves me well and since I have 2 spare batteries I don't bother however, tweaking the kernel to powersave gives me more juice.
So, it depends on what is a deal breaker for you.
I've used 2 AOSP Nougat that are very good but since all AOSP Nougat Audio recording level is low, which is a deal breaker for me, I switched to LineageOS before hitting RR Nougat.

So if you needed to compare between LineageOS and RR Nougat, which one would be better in terms of smooth user experience and which one do you think has the lowest issues?
Also I do really need the most battery backup I can get.

By the way - I got fed up with bugs so I created my own debloated VibeUI ROW ROM with a nexus feel - so far it seems to work well and no signs of lag so far. I think the lag isn't caused by the core ROM, but the add-ons that Lenovo insist on adding. If there are no major issues I'll upload it by the end of the week

FYI Footej Camera only works because it records in 720p by default. 1080p recording is the problem.

Both are the same core but RR has a little more customization and faster charging.
LineageOS by Daniel has the best battery backup time in CM based Roms. I've achieved 5hrs SOT with one AOSP nougat. It has low audio recording that's why I didn't continue.
You can achieve faster charging on Daniel's Rom with ultimate or Vince kernel. But it comes with dt2w and takes extra juice from the battery.
You should try flashing different Rom and check it out for yourself

Did you face hotspot bug in RR 5.8.2?? Mugiks ?? Can you confirm? :/
Hello, my Mi A2 seems to have a strange effect when focusing on the primary lens. I would just like to know if this is normal or not. It seems when on the low light lens the focus is even across the image but the primary lens it seems to wash from one side to the other.
Here is a video to illustrate.
Does anybody else's do this? Thanks!
I've been having the same issue for a while now! It's very annoying and I have no idea how to fix it! I've been using the low light lens and just taking pictures with that. I cannot tell if it is a hardware or software issue either. I'm going to install a custom rom soon, just haven't had time to do it, so hopefully that fixes the issue!
i think it's a software issue, because after capture everything is OK

I still have issues after capture. If I'm capturing text the top half is unreadable in portrait because it's so blurry, and when I tap to focus on the top it doesn't help.
Same issues here
I have exactly the same issue... It seems like the extremes of the picture are better and the sides really blurry. For text is really bad, and also for pictures when you want the focus not being in the center. As you mention, touching the focus does not help.
I have no solution for now, thinking on sending it back...
Doubed HW issue
I'm sorry to say I feel it like a HW issue as I am facing the same issue with GCam in my MI A2.
i too have the same problame even after capture...
It's fixed on my phone now, unfortunately I had to get a new camera module. The issue is likely caused by a misaligned lens element, so the only option is to swap the camera module or warranty the phone. Mine works great now. Shouldn't have had to fix it but I guess these things happen I guess.

Can you guide us how to swap the camera module?

It should be pretty straightforward, here's a teardown video: https://youtu.be/mo92gAwKv6s. That should walk you through getting the module out.

Can you send a link to the module you got? There's several between eBay and AliExpress I've seen, but am looking for a reliable one.
I have the same problem, I think it's began after update to pie 9, Is it possible? I try everything like clear cache, factory reset, hitting the camera. What is your solution ? Only change the camera with new ?

This issue was with Android 8.1 as well. I checked with 2 other devices but only my device has the issue :crying:

Then we need change the camera module too I dont have problem in close objects, have only in far objects..
Same issue here... I wonder if flashing Miui would solve this problem..

I noticed this the other day as well, when taking a picture up close, it focuses fine, but on far away objects it has this issue.

Don't think this would help as this seems like a HW issue affecting only some devices.

Low light camera mode is working fine
But the regular mode washes out at the top but it is clear at close objects
Can u give us any solution miui...
mia2 camera issue after pie update
my mia2 primary camera does not focus properly ,videos are totally blurred after the pie update,hope xiomi resolves the camera issue soon.I think this is software issue,if it would have been a HW issue,why would the camera hadbeen working perfectly on OREO?
Has anyone noticed horrible stabilization for the 5x sensor with the new camera app that comes with the 13 update? Used to be able to turn the digital stabilization on or off (when on it caused some weird jitter, but at least the footage was usable and stable). Now, there is no option and the video shot through it is always extremely unstable even when sitting down holding the phone with both hands while remaining as still as possible to the point of beeing useless. Specially at 15x zoom (sample footage included). Anyone else got this issue?
Also noticed that they added an option for HDR10+ shooting and automatic low light framerate adjustment that is not switchable. Anyone know why?
EDIT - Here is the sample footage:
for some reason I got multiple errors uploading video attachments to this forum...
Firstly, I have non of the issues you have mentioned above. I am on MIUI13 SKAMIXM and the app works flawlessly. The only issue I have is video recording gives me only up to x6
Regarding hdr10+ you can turn it on only on 4k and 8k. Not below that.
Okay now I understand, every zoom I start with gives me multiple zoom options. If I start with X5 I can go up to x6.
Either way, works flawlessly

Ok. You mind uploading a sample video in a reply please? Btw if you switch to 1080p 30fps you get the option to go from .5 all the way to 15x in one slider. If you don't mind try shooting from 1x to 15x.
Edit- I'm on the miui 13 SKAEUXM

A quick sample as requested
I am on SKAMIXM
You can try the app I've extracted in my other post, could help you.

Thank you very much. I've installed your camera app and unfortunately the problem persists... the 5x video footage is basically unsusable. I'm afraid that my optical stabilization for this lens is broken and I'll need to return the phone for service, fortunately it's still covered by warranty... This is a huge bummer since they make you format everything on the phone for security reasons.

Hi Mate,
i'd suggest before sending it off for warranty to install GCAM and try it out one more time.
is your ROM official? or is it the BETA version?
Also, I've learned that controlling camera in general is not limited to camera app, also the software of the device control's most of it and the app is just triggering the software to activate and do the algorithm of image processing. it could not be a hardware. (while I agree with you that most likely it is). but i'd try every possible solution before losing device for a few weeks or months if you are unlucky.
Also, note that seems like EU version of MIUI13 rom seems buggy, a few issues have been mentioned here and there that are not in the global version SKAMIXM.
I use miui13 EU ROM and have no issues at all.

Yes I use the official update as provided with the phone updater. I also have a gcam installed and the problem persists there too (sample provided in this reply). I think I've done all the testing required to conclude that there is actually a problem with the stabilization. I'll have to service it unfortunately . Maybe ask for a battery change since it dropped to about 4500mpa over the last few months with all the fast charging and the extremely fast discharging (cough cough). Thank you for your time, I'm really grateful for the tips.

I think I have this here too (I have the SKAEUXM version). Up to 9.5 it doesn't shake, after that it shakes a lot.
