ROMs with almost no bugs

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...

Mi A2 Camera Focus Issue

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

Half side blur photo (Unable to focus)

I am not much interested in camera when i bought Mi A2, it works fine. but recently when i was taking picture, it was half side blur and i was not able to make focus on upper side of camera. i tried all modes but no use. I have Note 6 Pro and it's camera functions and focus properly.
in mi A2 I observed when in MANUAL mode i select Lens as LOW LIGHT, it works (but in manual mode only).
do any one has some solution or give reason to behave camera like this.

Same here

It was a February patch bug and it seems to persist in March patch... Xiaomi.

This is a hardware problem, I also had this, give the phone a guarantee.
P.S. sorry for english(

How so we both have exactly the same problem and mine started with pie?

Looks like this is a hardware issue, I'm having the same problem after 4 months of use.

Same here, I also took it to guarantee and they told me it was a software problem, but when they gave it back to me nothing had changed. Camera still not working

I had ordered it from this website but I had paid the cheapest shipping, I'm from Mexico so it will take a while to arrive to my country.. maybe next month..

I had the same problem and replaced the camera module with a new one, and the problem was fixed... temporarily because 3 months after it started happening again with the new camera, so either I am super unlucky, or it must be some other defect in the phone that tends to breaks the primaey cameras...
At this point I don't think I am going to replace it again. Do you know of any way of recording videos with the low light camera?

I have the same issue. In fact this issue persists in the video mode as well. Its okay for videos of objects nearby but move even a few metres away and it becomes very difficult to focus. I was at this concert and wanted to record the performance but only got a very blurry video with muffled sound. For photos this issue is especially an inconvenience when taking photographs of documents etc where you could very well do without the unnecessary bokeh effect. In MANUAL mode this does reduce a bit, but not to any extent that helps.
I was just told by a friend that installing the Google camera mod might help, but I'm yet to try it out.

I have same problem with upper side blur. Seems that switching to "manual" mode and change "lens" from "regular" to "low light", as said by the original user. It works fine with me. Thanks for the tips ! ........ so it is not the hardware problem, it is a software problem. Changing camera may not work ! Don't know if they are going to release new firmware to solve it or not ?? Any idea how to upgrade the firmware ?

If it is a hardware problem I do not see why it would prevent using the secondary camera, it can be a problem with the lenses (Have you thrown or hit your phone?) and not with the module. There are those who have returned to Oreo and the problem persists.

Pie update - OIS stabiliser

Hi.
Updated my phone to android pie via Hicare.
Now I have problem with camera.
I don't have stabiliser option in video settings anymore. No matter what resolution I choose.
There is no stabiliser option in settings.
Is this normal?
Video is shaking as hell...
I also did factory reset (full wipe) after pie update. Nothing helps.
Is stabiliser option missing on pie update or what?
Thanks.

I have the same problem.
Yesterday I shot a video and it was awful because the image was shaking all the time.
That didn't happen to me with Oreo.

Do you have option stabiliser in camera settings? For me it's missing.
Tried every option. Even factory reset.
Nothing. Now video recording is awful.

No, I haven't found that option in adjustments, although I don't remember if it was in Oreo.
It did work before and it doesn't now.
Edit: I think I've already found where the OIS setting is: I think it's the icon named "nivel de belleza" (in Spanish) maybe named "beauty level" in English.
I've done some quick tests and it looks like the image stabilizes as the "beauty level" increases.

Strange... But if I don't want to use beauty level? Stupid.
I will roll back to oreo and check if stabiliser is available option in settings.

And another problem, if we use the beauty levels (stabilizer) the highest quality must be 720p.
I will report it to Huawei. I want full HD with OIS like before.

Hi, my gf did the update to emui 9 on her p10 and has the exact same problem with stabilisation. Or should I say, with the non-stabilisation...Option has been removed and it's now not possible to make videos without shaking. I also have a p10 but still emui 8 and the option for stabilisation is here. And when we compare both results there is no way emui 9 has a big problem. Hope Huawei will make an update to fix this asap.
I've heard that on p20 and p30 (and probably all other new cellphones from Huawei), the AI manage automatically the stabilisation with NPU. Well it's fine, but the problem is that on our p10 that chip simply doesn't exist so what to expect..

I had just reported this issue via the Live Chat function in HiCare. The support agent told me that he will highlight the issue to the relevant department from his end. Hopefully we will get an update to fix this.

I also talked to the french hotline yesterday and I got an email few hours later saying I must do a factory reset and if it doesn't work to send my cellphone back to garantie...
I think they just don't know.
I talked about Kirin 960 and 970 and the guy at the hotline was impressed about how much I know about cellphones...please.
Hope your hotline is smarter than mine and they will fix it with an update.

@Hawkblesker
They dont know. I did factory reset after updating to 9.0 and its the same.
Now i will rollback to Oreo just to confirm that OIS setting is available in Android Oreo and not in Pie.
Also will contact Huawei support in my country.
Edit:
rolled back to android 8 and OIS stabiliser option is in camera as normal and it works. On android 9 this option is missing and its not working...

I have contacted them to report the issue and they say me that they are not aware of this incident.
He has asked me to restore the app camera, which has not solved anything as I already knew, and also wanted me to restore the phone, which I refused because I know that is not the solution.
I think it's important that we all report the problem to Huawei so they can do something about it.
It is unacceptable that an update causes the mobile to lose performance.
Please, let's make noise so they can fix it.
Regards.

I have sent email hour back to huuawei support about this problem.
Waiting for reply.
I will most likely replace my phone with other brand. Samsung maybe. Not sure. Was looking at S10e but is expensive. Other option is P20 pro. Not sure about Huawei.
Maybe Xiaomi. But camera is important for me so not so sure...

On french hotline and after 3 emails explaining everything slowly and clearly they continue to tell me to send my cellphone for reparation..

Got email today from them.
They told me that stabilisation should be automatically enabled in android 9.
That is not true. Stabilisation does not work on android 9.
They dont know nothing...

Some news from Huawei support...
For now only solution is to turn on beauty mode. They will hopefully fix this in next update.

Hi
I am from Croatia and few days a go i have also reported the problem with stabilisation. I also told them about the beauty mode thing. But what i noticed is that when the beauty mode is on resolution is set to 720p so i have tried other resolutions too. To be more specific i did try [email protected] and 4k and on both stabilisation works. Video stabilisation is not working only on default resolution. I think is [email protected]

but in [email protected] and 4K there is autofocus issue. Its hell slow refocusing when you move with the camera. And the problem is not, that there is no OIS in 720p and 1080p. The problem is the functionality of OIS. the video is shaky even if I capture it with tripod.

Autofocus in Emui 9 now is worse then it was before in Emui 8. As you said, it is slow. But not just in [email protected] and 4k. It is same on any resolution. At least on my phone. I know it is annoiyng, but at least stabilisation works. That is more important to me. But Huawei ****ed up big time.
And video on default resolution it's so shaky like stabilisation it's not turned on at all.

same situation here!
Has anyone found a solution?

Video is pretty stable for me, but should it really be possible to disable/enable OIS on the software side? I thought OIS was a physical mechanism in the lense. I know that on an iPhone you have to put a little magnet on the opposite side of where the camera is to actually lock the OIS mechanism.
Edit: OK I can confirm that stabilization does not work for [email protected] fps. This makes me wonder, does the P10 really have true OIS or was it just another example of Huawei's false marketing?

Question Mi 11 Camera Focus issues

Hi Team
Anyone noticed that the main camera has a lot focus issues on faces?
Background is on focus while the faces aren't.
Any way to upgrade Camera firmware only?

I notice focus issues on the main came that star a few days ago. To fix them, I need to shake or give some kicks to the phone in other to solve the issue...
This may be caused by some drop, however, I always use the TPU case.

Same here my phone is well protected..

How i can test for help you ? I'm on MiuiMix 26.6.23 (MIUI 12.6)

This seams a hardware problem, I have concerns if they can compensate it by software.
The issue semana to me that the focus mechanism is get stuck, maybe by the lac of power, and only some kicks help do put the lens in the right position...
Can anyone confirm about the fix for 12.5.4.

Don't think it's a hardware issue as I don't get the problem with other camera apps.. though not sure they use all the lenses

+1 Google Cam is more stable for pictures and produce better quality. Not an Hardware problem

Hello . I started having main camera focusing issue.
When it zoom close subjects its fine and than when it zooms distant subject it becomes blurry .
So when I shake the phone or make a tap it removes blur and catch the picture good.
Should I replace camera lens , sensor .. or it might be hardware ?

I just got the phone. Focus on people is always bad. No recognition. I have to switch to Portrait mode manually to get good shots of people.
Main camera also has focussing problems with flowers.
I expected more than this...
My Huawei used to always regognize people.

I'm honestly in the same boat. After buying a flagship xiaomi phone and having to slap or shake the camera for it to work properly is very disappointing definetly my last xiaomi phone.
