Go to camera's app data, and clear the cache. It'll fix it.

I tried that many times but nothing happens

You should do a factory reset after upgrading to a new android version

I did this too.

Realme UI 1.0 Global - Dark Mode on Third Patry apps disappeared

Hello,
I have a European version.
I have a question about DarkMode after the official update. Previously, Realme devices also have an option to apply Dark Mode to selected Third Patry apps, now in realme UI 1.0 this option has disappeared. Although on the official website I see that UI 1.0 should have this option
Is this a matter of the Europe / India version?
did you get ota or you manually download it?
manually downloaded from Realme India, like any previous update.

Well,I initially started off on the early access beta and did do a factory reset of that when I first got an OTA to RealmeUI,
I got an OTA for the latest update but also manually did it a few days back.
The dark mode for third party apps has been there throughout though,
Why you not seeing it ?? ?
I restored the factory settings (for the system), then I updated the downloaded package again and I still do not have this function
I would like to upload a screenshot but I think I have this function blocked as new in the forum (min 10 posts)

Android-Auto Not Working on MIUI 12 EU.

Android-auto stopped working on my Mi9 , after OTA upgrade to MIUI 12. (12.0.1.0 EU Stable)
Tryied the following with no luck:
Enabled USB Debugging
Cleared Cache and Data @ "Google App Services","Android Auto" , "Google"
Updated android auto to latest version.
USB cable change
Anyone experiencing the same issue?
Any recommendation on what could be going wrong?
I haven't tested android auto but I have noticed that eventhou I have Google arcore installed, I can't use view in 3d or Google playground
Android auto works fine here (Finland, MIUI 12 OTA upgrade).
I did hard reset the phone after upgrade (I thought something was broken, but turned out to be one single app incompatible with MIUI 12).
I have the same issue. Also did a hard reset and same issue occurred
Managed to get it working by performing "Clear all Data" from "Google Play Services".
But this is not a permanent fix. After a while, I need to redo the process to get Android Auto working again.
Could someone confirm the above?
Also, how would one report a bug to Xiaomi/MIUI ?
Managed to solve this by Downgrading "Google Play Services" to version: 20.24.14 (from 20.26.13)
Downgrade is not tge solution ?
Having a weird Android Auto issue on my Mi 11 Ultra running EU 12.5.4 Stable.
Wirelessly connected to my factory head unit in my 21' Chevy, almost everything works flawlessly. "OK Google" hot-word works, music, maps, text notifications - all good. The problem is that while I can talk to it, It won't ever hear me when I respond to it.
For Example, I can say "OK Google, text my wife" It will respond with "What's the message?", but then when I speak the message it doesn't hear anything and just keeps asking me to say the message.
Anybody else having this weird quirk? I've tried everything I know to try to fix it, permissions, uninstalling, unpairing - no luck so far.

Hi,
how did you get Android auto to work on MIUI 12 on the mi 11 ultra.
I have one of them running MIUI 12.5.4 running Android auto version 6.3.611324-release.
When I plug it into my Mitshubishi Outlander PHEV it show 3 buttons at the bottom saying use USB for "No Data Transfer, File Transferm Photo Transfers".
If I select the Android auto app on the phone, and purple background screen shows saying enable calendar and contact permissions an I press continue and app immediately closes. I have enabled all 23 permissions on the android auto app.
Not sure what to try next? Any ideas?
Thanks

Using the CN version, I couldnt find anywhere that sold a global 512gb version.
Have you got the 512GB version of the mi11 ultra. Does the EU version support 512GB?
Does the EU version already have google services installed?
Can you provide a link to how I change the firmware?

[GUIDE][venus|star|mars] How to install Xiaomi.eu ROM for Xiaomi MI11 / Pro / Ultra
I'm waiting for my unlock, but doing a bit of research. I think it should be fine, but wanted to ask, if anybody flashed weekly or stable over the CN 12.5 version on mi11 ultra. I'd like to stay on the weekly version, just don't want to brick the device. Anybody did this?
xiaomi.eu
Unlock bootloader - takes 7 days, then fastboot EU version. Just follow the video in this link. Easy peasy.

7 days? not sure but that's how it is with Xiaomi. Start unlock process, wait 7 days, complete it. There's tons of info on how to do this, just search for it on forums or YouTube. I installed Stable. Need to use it for work, can't be messing around with half baked operating systems
Have your experienced any stability issues with the Eu version over the CN version on the mi 11 ultra?
Have you tested the camera app a bit?
Thx again,

None. Works exactly as the CN version did, except without a ton of bloatwear and language characters that I don't understand. Camera functionality the same, as far as I know, they change nothing from any of that stuff. Read through the post in that link I sent, it's full of information and feedback from tons of people who are using this rom
Almost convinced myself to try now. Really want to the use the AAwireless device.
With the 7 days, can I still use the phone in that time?

Question on options for custom Android 9 or 10 ROM

Hello!
Any custom Android 9 or 10 ROM which has all of these features (and works well overall)?
1. Working GCam OR full stock camera (any of the two is fine);
2. Working camera button;
3. Night light.
Also, am I correct that the Oreo AOSP Extended has both of these options?
Thanks in advance.

As I mentioned in my other post full stock cam and Gcam GO is available in:
Linagege OS: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...rom-lineageos-17-1-unofficial-coming-t4047763
Havoc OS: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xz1-compact/development/rom-havoc-os-v3-6-t4113345
The shutter button works in Lineage OS, but is broken in Havoc. But you can use the double tap to open camera gesture.
Also Gcam Go is a lite version of Gcam with only portrait mode (not yet working) and HDR+ available. Hopefully more features will be ported by developers.
Night light is available in both ROMs. Others I have not tried.
Hopefully this helps.
Thanks a lot. That's very useful.
Hi again. I noticed one can install LOS17 starting from the latest (and probably last) firmware. I assume this entails losing DRM keys. Are they worth saving anymore?

As far as I know there is no photo comparison album comparing camera quality going from a DRM restored firmware and non DRM restored firmware so I don't know how much of a difference it makes.
But the ROM developers do recommend backing up DRM as it is might come in useful in the future or if you want to go back to stock. Based on what I have seen in the Lineage OS thread it is unknown why the camera works without DRM.
I would recommend backing it up since once it is lost it is lost, and restoring it to the official firmware before flashing a custom ROM guarantees that you have the best possible camera quality.
As addition info:
As far as I know there is no way to re-lock the bootloader which might make it harder to sell it so if you are planning on selling I would not recommend unlocking the bootloader.
Otherwise, happy flashing!
Wise advice about the drm. Thanks again.

I made the switch to LOS 17. It took me some 5 hours to downgrade to Oreo, save DRM, switch back to Pie and then install a fully-working LOS (the first two installs generated some issues with both cameras - the stock Sony did not focus or take photos at all, while the stock LOS was not saving pics - and with the SD); but it then finally worked (procedures followed were the same every time, go figure).
Also, I lost my attest keys in the process of downgrading to Oreo (although I did remove all persist and *.ta files before flashing); and the camera was black after this downgrade - but then the procedure worked eventually and the camera came back fully featured in Pie, somehow. Again, go figure.
All in all, I am happy for the switch and the LOS 17 is absolutely great. Will definitely buy modpunk a beer.
Now, if only there was an equally good procedure and ROM for my other phone, the xz2c, which Sony ruined with the upgrade to Q .
Thanks once again for the encouragement.

Native Call Recorder P30 PRO for EMUI 10 by SYG

Hello everyone, you can use the following app for the new call recorder. Download and install, that's all. My phone P30 pro 10.1.0.150 and it works perfectly.
Tryed to install, but it said app not installed. Are you sure is it working with EMUI 10.1.0.

Exactly
"by SYG"?
I`ve extracted this apk from Indian FW and published it about 1,5 month ago on russian forum, then here in October.

Yes, it is definitely working on ÍEMUI 10.1. You received that error message because an earlier version of the call recording app is still on your device. The P30 Pro was released with a native call recording app pre-installed. If you upgraded your device to EMUI 10 and then to 10.1 and haven't performed a factory reset since then, the old app is still on your device. As it was written above and in a similar thread post (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83653109&postcount=105), the call recording feature was preserved on Indian region devices even on EMUI 10.1. In other regions, the feature became disabled after the EMUI 10 update. The official Huawei communication is that the call recording feature was disabled after the EMUI 10 update due to data protection laws and regulations. However, the India region apk can be installed on EMUI 10.1. and it is working perfectly.
So, if you haven't performed a factory reset since the EMUI 10 and 10.1 upgrades, you should uninstall the old call recording app.
1. Go to Settings>Apps>Apps.
2. Then in the top-right corner tap the three-dot menu and tap on 'Show system processes'.
3. Scroll down to an app called 'Recorder'. There might be two apps with this name. One is the Sound recorder app and the one with the android bug icon is the old call recorder.
4. Uninstall the Recorder app with the green android bug icon.
5. Install the downloaded apk.
6. Finally, reboot your device. The call recorder should work now. You might have to grant permissions (for me all permissions were granted upon installation). The recorded files will be in Sounds/CallRecord.

It will be possible to try to do this when the update to EMUI 11 is released in the Indian region.

Question Help me in flashing to .eu room from global

Hello,
First of all, I'm sorry about newbie questions. I'm new here and haven't unlocked and installed custom rom ever.
I have xiamoi global 12.5.2 version but there are lot of bugs like expand screenshot, google dialer, spotify music control and list goes forever. I want to boot to .eu rom but i have tried following this - tutorial - Waiting for 168 hours to unlock bootloader.
I want to ask, what about updates? there wouldn't be any automatic update as we have now (although in last 6 months Mi haven't released any update on global version), and UI is full of bugs.
Also, is there any con of leaving my official rom and changing to .eu rom? any specific tool which wouldn't work after this? like maps, gps or android auto etc?
Also, what's the gaming experience on .eu rom?
One more noob question, what is difference between Recovery and Fastboot? , I'm looking to download rom from here https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/star/

Lol, i will stick with with Global.
EU base on CN rom, so it will be updated faster. But original CN rom is not for global users so u almost cant use it normally
EU fixed that problem. But it has more bugs than official global. And some people reported that Android auto didnt work
Global lastest beta stable was releases in September, so stable update coming soon.
I dont need fast update, that need a stable rom, everything works. So i prefer global rom

I don't need fast updates . I definitely need a stable rom, So do you have any fix for these issues like google dialer (call recording beeps announcement), missing spotify music control on notification bar? and if possible for scroll screenshot.
If these small and minor bugs are addressed . i would be happy on global version too. I've posted these issues multiple times in service and feedback in xiamoi but no one replies and they remains unaddressed everytime.

I've one secondary galaxy s20 FE and OnePlus 7 pro and scroll screenshot works super fine with them in all apps. It's exclusive problem of MIUI.
And can i root and install miui dialer? Any tutorial? Without interferencing with rom?
As you have been told, you'd better stick with global ROM, EU ROM is either more buggy and lacks performance as well. The latest global is 12.5.6 and you can push the update manually. If you want to try a different branch you must consider EEA ROM which has recently gotten the enhanced version
For long screenshot I've purchased screen master app, it works excellent. Solves one bug.
Google dialer is only major concern for me right now.

I tried it didn't work.
Anyways, i found alternative app for call recording that serves the complete purpose.
Fixed scrolling screenshot with screen master.
Spotify with lock screen app permission.
And call recording announcement with call recording tool , i tried about 10+ , only one worked out of many. In all we could listen to our own voice but not other party.
Only issue left is unresponsive touch screen sometimes specially button buttons. But i believe that is fixed in 12.6 as many users have reported here so I'll wait for that update without changing rom or anything. I can bear that.
I was warned by many experts for MIUI and that turned out of be true.
