It is normal to happen. To fix that:
You can use root explorer ( I prefer using Solid Explorer + SE Text Editor)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.solidexplorer2
Go to:
/system/etc/camera
Find a file named:
msm8996_camera.xml
Open it with text Editor and find this near the bottom of the text.
<Position>FRONT</Position> <MountAngle>360</MountAngle>
There is two "Front" if you use "find" and change 360 to 270.
Restart.
Hope it's going well.

How to install Google camera without roor...?

If there any process to install Google camera without any root.?
I am not happy with my stock camera apps.
Please any solution..
Look in the MiA2 'Guides' section. I put a guide there the other day. But, keep in mind, there is NO way to do this without unlocking the bootloader, which will do a complete wipe. And the bootloader needs to stay unlocked, so there is that security concern.
I wish Xiaomi would change it in a future update, but it's not too likely.

I'm running Treble Experience GSI by phhusson on my A30GN

The process is simple.....But there are a few requirements that you need to do before hand.
1. Unlock your Bootloader
2. Patch your Boot.img using Magisk
3. Install Twrp. If compatible with your device. In my case I used "Geiti94" Twrp he provided (TWRP_A30_A305F_V3_ASH1.tar) this worked for me even though I've got a A305GN and was flashed using Odin.
4. Download GSI rom of your choice just make sure you download the right version for your phone otherwise you'll face endless bootloops. *****You can use "Treble Info.apk" ***** to find out what your phone system supports as there are 4 types
5. Boot into Twrp, Tap on Wipe then Advanced Wipe then select "Dalvik/Art Cache" System" Data" leave everything else as it is. Then swipe to Wipe.
6. Then go back to Twrps main screen and tap on Install and navigate to where you put the GSI file by Selecting Storage then Install Image this will show only GSI image files. Then select your GSI file then select which Partition to flash to.....Which is SYSTEM.... DONE.
Screenshots
My system is a Arm64 compatible with a SystemAB GSI

I haven't experienced any sort of errors/bugs yet. Everything I use on a daily basis works, but if there are any errors/bugs they have yet to show themselves.
You have to understand that there are going to be errors/bugs in any custom firmware you flash to your phone, that's just the way it is nothing's 100% besides Stock.
I installed AOSP, it was easy. I am from Latin America and I had no problems placing the TWRP or loading the ROM, and the phone works much faster and the battery, it seems to last much longer

What AOSP GSI image did you go with? Was it already Rooted with SU?
Have you manage to resize your screen to allow your icons at the top of your screen to fiit
If you by any chance have "Phh Treble Settings" in your "Settings" then your good to go.
Yes, it is already rooted. I did it with the last one published in AOSP, published 4 days ago I think, download the version with gapps, you ride it with TWRP (it's in img) and that's it

Hi, I'm from Latin America too. My cell phone model is the SM-A305GU and I would also like to install AOSP but I don't have enough knowledge and I don't want my cell phone to be like an unusable brick. Could you guide me to get this?
PD: Sorry for my bad English.

I'm not the OP but when I tried Lineage Phh-Treble, there was an option about diameter of round corners in "Phh Treble Settings"->"Misc settings" and I set that to 20 and then the problem was fixed.

I have found that not all the Android 10 gsi I've used have this feature, Pixel Experience Q 28102019 being one of them.
so I've flashed this zip via TWRP to regain this ability. I know it doesn't work on all of them but its worth a try for those of you out there willing to give it a go.
I have successfully flashed the aosp 10 gsi (latest one) seems to be working really good.
The transitions seems to be little bit lagging with the stock launcher, and using other launcher totally removes the way task changer works. Which launcher are you guys using?
Can you make us tuturial please:fingers-crossed:

Installing MIUI messaging and MIUI Dialer on LG V40 running stock rom PIE

So I've bitten the bullet and got this stunning phone for a great price.
I've moved from Xiaomi Redmi Note 7s.
I feel a bit letdown by the LG software as it's nowhere near MIUI in detailing, layout and what not. But I guess it's been talked a lot already.
So coming back to my new crush.
I want following things on my phone and looking to the learned FMs for guidance :
1. I want to install MIUI messaging on my LG V40
2. I want MIUI dialer & MIUI contacts app.
3. I want connection speed on notification bar.
Please guide me as to how to do it. I did try to download from apkmirror site but it did not install.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks !

Step 1. Unlock bootloader
Step 2. Add TWRP
Step 3. Flash Havoc OS (it has many different options including connection speed if I'm not mistaken)
Step 4. Try and install the MiUi stuff if it works on AOSP...if not search XDA for ported apps...

Hi, if it's ok for you to back up your call logs from your OnePlus 10 Pro to the computer, try Coolmuter Android Backup Manager. Its free backup function can help you do that easily via USB cable. You don't need to root your phone, you just need to enable the USB debugging on your OnePlus 10 Pro. Then you can do the backup easily. Hope this will be your help.

Question new information regarding custom or globalrom?

I wanted to ask if there is any new information regarding a global rom or a custom rom? I would definitely be flashing it right away.
Best hope for that will be when the S version is released. According to available information it is virtually identical to the X, so the firmware might be transferable.
can't wait!
Hopefully.
I’m not sure how things will go. I would much prefer working with aosp to get a booting gsi rom personally
TBH I've got the X working so well now that I don't really see a huge need for a new ROM. If someone gets it working and shows a benefit then...
Yes, of course it works and doesn't cause any problems, but I would like only the voice assistants from Google
and android auto, all the rest is ok
Android auto is dead in the game bro'
Are there any new advances?
i suppose nothing, there is trouble with Vivo and unsecure Boootloader. Nobody seems interested by solid and friendly solution to unlock then after port a rom on this baby !

that's a shame. I would really appreciate a custom rom or at least a European supported rom
A multilingual ROM (like Global) who can be really adapted to our market can be nice. Anyway X Fold S is just a small update and not a global phone market.

You can extract boot.img in two ways:
1. What you described
2. Use DSU Loader and pull the file out using the following commands in adb:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/by-name/boot of=/data/local/tmp/boot.img
chown shell.shell /data/local/tmp/boot.img
(After the end of adb shell)adb pull /data/local/tmp/boot.img

I haven't removed any Chinese bloatware, since I didn't find it was slowing down the phone or using too much memory. Quite happy to have it just sit there instead of risking removing too much.
