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.

How did you manage to fix the fingerprint sensor issue? Every other LOS ROM has this issue.....:good:

Sounds strange. Is HDR working? Because I couldn't get it to work even on OOS based ROMs.

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...
Some people and reviewers complained that the screen is oversharpened, which leads to some artifacts around letters (for example, go to settings, then pull down the notification shade and look at the text beneath the semi transparent shade).
This was a dealbreaker for me, as some of my main use cases are reading and browsing.
However, if you enable Comfort view (LG's blue light filter implementation), this fixes the problem. Set it to low, to reduce the color shift.
I just received the Oreo update. The oversharpening fix does NOT work anymore!
It's a dealbreaker for me, the effect is so bad that my eyes hurt more than using a lower resolution screen...

Why you say that this fix doesn't work anymore?
Because it doesn't work anymore...
On Nougat, enabling Comfort View would disable the sharpening filter, but on Oreo, it has no effect on the sharpening...

Are you on Oreo?
Did you do a factory reset after updating?

Yes and yes
Initially, I didn't do a factory reset after updating. However, I did afterwards, but the fix still didn't work (there is no difference in oversharpening between on or off).
So I just downgraded to Nougat, where the fix works...
Just to be clear, the issue is the same as the one described here (for LG G3):
https://www.naldotech.com/how-to-fix-screen-overshaperning-on-lg-g3/
https://www.xda-developers.com/lg-g3-oversharpening-fix-aroma/
I can confirm that after upgrading to Oreo (8.1.0) the oversharpening fix by the comfort view does not work anymore. I actually discovered this trick while randomly tinkering with settings however it no longer works no matter the intensity of the hue shift (there's 10 levels now)
Anyone facing camera related issue, quality of the front and back cameras decreased drastically.
Updated to Oreo8.1 (Indian version), have also done the factory reset.
What is the oversharpening on this device? Is it like burn in on amoled display? Because i have that before in my lg q6 and i fix it with displaying white color picture overtime (like 10 minutes) to make my display normal again.
Sorry for my English
No, it's different, check the link in the previous page.

How did you downgrade to nougat?
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.

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 ?

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?
I recently upgraded to Android 9 (Pie) and have an unlocked bootloader. I never applied any DRM fix and the camera works fine. Is DRM still an issue? Could it be the camera quality is reduced even though it's certainly not a green square?
You could test by taking some test photos before and after applying the DRM fix. My guess is the camera DRM was removed for pie. You may have lost image enhancement, but you can easily check this yourself.
Do not apply the drm fix, there is currently none available for Android Pie!
Regarding your question: Don't know, I think low light performance might be better with working drm keys
Hi,
Just ordered k20 pro, believe will arrive tomorrow (Using poco now)
I wonder is there a kernel that actually increase the speed of the pop up camera? So face unlock work faster? Hahaha

Face unlock is totally unnecessary or maybe I should say involves extra steps on this phone.
1) Its software based so can be unlocked with facial similarities.
2) you have to actually turn on the device & swipe up to activate the pop-up.
Thus fingerprint is much faster & efficient to use as it's already always on

1) Yes and fingerprint while having way less chance of that is prone to similarities as well
2) That is bad, in my opinion it should automatically pop up when activated via button on the side or tapping on a notification on the lockscreen
About faster and more efficient... The fingerprint scanner is too low to be comfortable and i prefer to press the button on the side and comfortably swipe up than try to reach the fingerprint sensor.
I really wish that whole under screen sensors while cool concept would move back to what Sony did with fingerprint sensor on the side so you unlock when you just grab the phone.
think what would happen, if you where to press a button accidentally and the cam popped up in your pocket...
