Guide to take selfie with mi mix 2 and Snapchat - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi everyone, my name is Jimmy and I have a mi mix 2. As you know it's impossible to take a selfie with Snapchat right now. I found a solution that I use everyday.
1 - install this app : " Automatic Tap " from Google play.
Sorry i can't post link and pictures because i'm new user.
2 - Configure it with :
- open with Snapchat app
- number of click = 1
- lenght of each click (milliseconds) = 5
3 - Place the button where you want on Snapchat screen
4 - Now active the rotation of your screen and rotate your phone.
5 - Take a seflie by pressing green play button.
I hope it will be useful for you, if not you can delete this threads and sorry for my english i'm french

Taking screenshot in Redmi 6 Pro

Hello all,
I have myself created a video tutorial for how to take screenshot in Redmi 6 pro. Three methods are there
1. Button combo method
2. Three fingers slide down Method
3. Screenshot option in notification area. You may see the action / demo at the following YouTube URL.
Note: As I am new member, the system did not allow me. After 10 posts, I will update here the link. Thanks!
4. Quickball - Best and easy to use
I'd suggest avoiding the button combo method. I've used Redmi 6 Pro for a year and in my experience, the buttons start becoming unresponsive after a couple of months if over-used. Wherever possible, the use of the buttons should be avoided, to increase their longevity.

How To Guide Camera hidden settings and features

Hi Everyone,
I love the camera of my MI11U. but there are a few tunings that I REALLY HATE!!! one of them is default beautify in selfie and portrait. taking photos of black objects (tried with GCAM which took a perfect shot). and a few minor others.
Searching here and there, I found a way to turn off and on some additional settings like beautify and some other functions. this will help whoever understand all these settings (not me ), so I thought to share this simple method and see your thoughts and outcomes. ***note that there are some settings are in Chinese***.
1 . go to file manager and go to phone storage....
2 . go to DCIM/camera
3 . make a new folder with the name mentioned below....
lab_options_visible
4 .save and exit.....
5 . go to settings and force stop the miui camera app....
6 . now launch the app.....
7 . go to camera settings menu of the app.....you will see new options available in there....
8 . just turn off beautify in portrait mode....
9 . come back....change to selfie mode....tap on the blue star.....now tap on clear.....
Hope this helps everyone to take better photos.
would much appreciate if we can share the benefits of these settings in order to get best results.
Wow, this is amazing. Thx

I am using GCam Wichaya 8.1.101 V1.4
it is not perfect, original xiaomi camera is impressive with all functions and control of device way better than GCam. but GCam is better in some conditions and scenarios like taking a photo of a far black object or photos of people. with Xiaomi, far black objects will be like a void in a photo and no details at all in it, and beautify is so annoying. with GCam, both are better, but colours are less vibrant and saturated.

The reason I made this thread is to share experience and understand what exactly they do. I really do not know any other that beautify in portrait disables it for all camera modes and not only portrait.
I found the following over internet by someone tested them on Mi10 devices, and some features are not mentioned or were disabled with previous devices. hope it helps at a start.
Internal magic tools : activates internal tools to improve the quality of photos and videos.
Face detection : the mobile camera can recognize the face and frame it in a box to improve the result.
Hide face detection frame automatically : this option hides the box that appears when activating the previous option but keeps the improvements.
Beautify in Portrait mode : Activate beauty mode in all camera modes.
Turn on dual camera : turn on dual camera to enhance photos.
Turn on dual SAT camera – currently does not have a user function.
Turn on MFNR : when activated, the device takes 6 consecutive shots which when superimposed and eliminate the noise from the photo.
Turn on SR : with this option the resolution of the image is enlarged as if the sensor of the mobile were larger.
Turn on quick shot animation : activate the quick shot animation in the app.

Thanks for explaining the features.
Thanks for the tip. One of the options I really like to see is the ability to pick the metering type (full frame average, center weighted average or spot metering). Can be quite useful. Seems like center weighted is the default.

Tried on xiaomi.eu latest weekly and didn't work. There is a modded miui cam in a Telegram group. Can't give TG links since some butthurt people hate me and sharing TG links appears to be against the "rules". Just search up "Sevtinge's Mods". That cam got many more options to tweak for, especially the Leica stuff.

Themes / Apps / Mods Mirror2RearUltra (rear screen mirroring) (quick tile) (1.0.4)

So it took me a couple of days but I developed a rear screen mirroring app called Mirror2RearUltra. It consists of a quick setting tile and nothing more.
Try it out for yourself, see what happens. I don't know how to squash the bugs but the source (and APK) is available on GitHub if anybody wants to take a peek.
Yes, it does mirror the display onto the rear display.
GitHub - tpkarras/Mirror2RearUltra: Rear screen mirroring plugin/app for Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra.

Nothing happens when I start it. I see the headline, but the app interface is blank.
I'm not supposed if that's the expected behavior, but it doesn't seem to do anything regardless.

Thank you.
But please specify which are the requirements:
- root ?
- Android version ?
- ROM ?
These info are not available also on your github repository.

it should be usable without root.
11 min (since that's what the Mi 11 Ultra) shipped with.
MIUI (developed with Xiaomi.eu) but should work with any MIUI version.

Great. Works a treat. Thank you.
@GuyWithRootedPhone I was just reviewing your code on github and as a casual android developer with no experience with this kind of thing (dealing with extra screens) it doesn't look TOO hard. I was wondering though, do you think it'd be possible to build an application that could read notifications and display them to the subscreen? I just absolutely hate that Xiaomi only allows it's default messaging and dialer app to display actual details to the subscreen. I love Google's implementation of Messenger and that's my preferred texting app, but with that as default, nothing appears like the Xiaomi messenger. Same situation with Google's dialer application.
If you have any ideas/tips you could throw my way, I'd be very interested in working on such an app that would allow selected applications to display their contents on the subscreen.
beta 2 is out... it takes methods from the subscreen app installed on the Mi 11 Ultra in an attempt to keep the screen on.
if anybody has any ideas or suggestions on how to keep the screen on full brightness without modifying the settings, that would be super helpful.
Release 1.0-beta2 · tpkarras/Mirror2RearUltra
added code to wake screen up upon launch/wake.
github.com
beta 3 is out, did some tweaks to get it to work on older devices.
if anybody can help me figure out how to keep the screen brightness on the rear display to max. I'd buy you a coffee, I'm struggling to figure out how this all works.
Release 1.0-beta3 · tpkarras/Mirror2RearUltra
Minor fixes. Fixed bug involving face down sensor.
github.com
This app isn't doing a thing
I actually had an idea about using rear screen as an input surface while gaming. For example you can map touches/swipes on rear screen onto an action/touch on front screen area and get another functionality. Your app is quite promising to start with. Thanks for this.

can you logcat the app? i need to know if it's crashing or not.
Works fine on mine. Once installed, just swipe from the top, turn it on, click start now and when you tap rear screen to start, it shows main screen. Sorry can't take rear screenshot.
Rotation doesn't work.
Try put camera in video mode and you will end up upside down on rear display.
I would like this to work, because this is my missing feature from Android 12. That all camera options are seen in rear display.
I can't use android 12 and mui 13 because of one sim not able to do call forwarding.
Otherwise works, would be better if it was written in advance that you need to place it in quick launch.
不错 很好用
fixed the brightness to keep the screen bright at all times.
this is the final release, hoping it works for everybody.
Release 1.0-final · tpkarras/Mirror2RearUltra
includes fix to keep screen bright and prevent touch inputs.
