Google Camera with HDR+ Ported to Snapdragon 820/821 and 835 Devices

This in no way shape or fashion is my work. I found this and it's working great on my S8+and is also working on my Note 8.

I did the same thing. Don't feel bad.

It didn't work on my phone at first. I had to reboot the phone then it worked fine.

This works so much better than the stock HDR feature - it's actually one of the main reasons why I insisted on a Snapdragon model.

Does anyone know the video recording limit on this camera app ?

I have the samsung unlocked version running on sprint, but I what do I have?
Also does it work side by side with the existing cam? I will be able to chose whichever cam I want to use?

There should be a download link on the post, it's right above the interview with the developer. Yes, I have them both installed on my home screen and they both work fine. Just install it like a regular apk.

Seems Note 8‘s camera works as well as google camera?

Is there somewhere that explains the differences in the various algorithms? I searched around but found only bits and pieces.
Also, it would be nice if someone could post which settings actually work for the Note 8. I tried a few and some wouldn't save and others
(I'm not a big camera buff and really don't use my phone's camera that much, otherwise I would.)

I'm seeing people state that the Google Camera is a bit better than the Stock Samsung one, but my experience is the opposite. Google Camera is giving me bad low light performance. I even used setting from the forums and was still subpar. What settings are you guys using?

I couldn't get this to work on my AT&T Note8 un-rooted.

Which settings from the forums? You have a link we can try? Thanks.

Unlocked non-rooted on Verizon and installs fine. Samsung Camera is far superior including with HDR so I'll un-install now...

Any news on making this work on Note 8 Exynos variant?

It works only on snapdrago phones

Not correct. Works on Exynos too but if you try to make any changes to settings it'll crash. Only way to revive is by clearing storage from settings!
However I didn't find it significantly better than stock camera and night time/poor lit/dark conditions photos are definitely better with stock camera.

Wireless connectivity speed issue

Hey guys, just got my note 8 after not having owned an Android since the SGS6 Edge and I'm noticing that my LTE and Wifi speeds are quite slow. I also own an iPhone X (business phone, please don't hate me) and on that I get well over 100mbps download on LTE and on wifi I get on average 70-90mbps download speeds. However after running speed tests on my note I'm only able to achieve 15mpbs or less on LTE and 40mbps or less on wifi. BTW I have an unlocked N8 direct from Samsung and I'm running on AT&T network.
Also I've done a fairly thorough search for answers already befofe making this post and yielded no helpful results. I'm not new to xda by any means so if there's a thread I've missed then please just direct me to it. Not my intent to create a duplicate post.
Thanks all

At this point I've reset the default apn profile in settings and looked around the settings for anything else that might be useful but that was all I could find. Still no luck increasing data speeds however.

If you use the same wi-fi and your Note 8 download speed is lower than iPhone's X it means that either Note 8 connections are slower or there is an issue with your device.
Do you have any other Android devices to test with the same wifi network? If the other Android phone downloads at speeds similar to iPhone X's one, than there is an issue with your Note 8.

Did you get or was there a need to have the IMEI number of your unlocked device provisioned for use on the att network? In respect of LTE speeds.
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I'm not sure about IOS, but on android background apps can kill your speed scores. Try closing all apps and try again. I can go from 300mb down to 97mb with apps running in the background. Just using the recent apps->close all should suffice.

[WARNING] Exercise Caution Flashing T-Mobile Variant

Hey everyone!
Not to cause any fear mongering, but as we get closer to unlocks coming back from OnePlus, I'd like to make sure that everyone exercises some caution.
According to what little information we have we know that the Modem is likely signed by T-Mobile.
Everyone is eager to try to get the Global ROM working on the T-Mobile version and we'll do our best! But please exercise caution. As of now we do not have any factory images, or stock images for the T-Mobile variant.
If you softbrick your phone, it may be a few days before it can be fixed!
Flashing an unsigned modem may result in your phone not being able to function properly from a network standpoint!
If you rely on your phone on a daily basis, please do not "Guinea pig flash." No one wants their new device nonoperational.
As always, do what you want to do! Just please be wary, and know that there are risks until we can properly assess the differences!

Is there a program oneplus uses to flash firmware? I've always been familiar with LG and Samsung devices, but anyway I know we can most likely flash anything that isn't signed with different RSA keys. Don't know if oneplus is similar. Submitted for my unlock bin at midnight so I should be receiving mine soon. I'll try and pull as much information as I can so we can compare.

This phone uses the standard fastboot to flash.
This is like the Nexus, Pixel and Essential phones.
Typically you cannot flash to a locked partition unless the omg file is signed correctly.
That means that you will typically get a failure message if you can't flash a particular partition.

The only one that I'm aware of is MsmDownloadTool. However, I haven't seen much mention of it in context to the 6T. I know it was used for the OnePlus 6. But I believe it's more used to simply recover from soft bricks.

There is so much false information in the OnePlus site forums. People telling others that once they unlock they'll be able to flash the international version without a problem. I posted that they can't rush into anything and to stop spreading false info or people are going to end up with bricks.

Very much so. I mean maybe things will work just fine.... But it is not wise to ever just jump into something. Like mentioned, we don't even have factory or stock images for the T-Mobile variant. Something goes wrong and you don't know what you're doing and you're dealing with a brick until development catches up. I know everyone is eager, but people need to be smart about it too.

Once I get my unlock token if things haven't already been tested I'm more than willing to volunteer my device as it's not my primary or even secondary device. Unless u know ur way around fastboot adb dd etc pls do not start randomly doin things to ur device as has been stated it could be days before we have a way for everyone to restore their devices should something go wrong.. Everyone needs to be patient as of right now logix is the only one with an unlocked tmo variant..as such plz be patient till we have more concrete info to share.

Yeps! I should have mine Monday morning, assuming the full 7 days from OP. We'll need to prepare a stock flashable image set before we do anything. I'll be doing a lot of testing as I have a Pixel 3 XL as well to fall back on. I have a few theories thus far on how things will go, but that also assumes that the -only- difference is the modem partition.

I may have mine Sunday or Monday.

What about extracting the partition images from the payload.bin and flashing everything but the modem in fastboot?
Edit: if you're rooted and have twrp couldn't you potentially make a backup for if it doesn't work?

Once again, we have no backups/stock images/factory images currently. If you were to do that and the device doesn't work, then you are stuck waiting for someone to provide a flashable solution to fix your paperweight.

Just wanted to mention that if you are able to flash the global modem. I have the dual sim from 1+ using both a TMobile and a Verizon sim with no issues on data, sms, mms, calls (verizon had to have them enable CDMA-less)
Perfect service on both now in Phoenix, Arizona.

I rarely touch my Pixel 3 XL, honestly. The OnePlus 6T just feels better in the hand. The in display finger print reader is awesome and saves time of having to pick up the phone constantly, and the notch on the XL drives me through the roof. I thought I'd get used to it, but every time my eyes travel to it I get annoyed lol.
It's not a bad device, though. I just find myself always picking up the OnePlus 6T.

Yeah that's pretty much my take on that phone why I never actually got.

Hi folks, it is interesting following your developments, I wish you the best of luck! I bought the global unlocked version directly from OnePlus, and I am actually curious if I will be able to go the other way haha, Flash the T-Mobile modem onto my global device. My only reason for doing so is I am on T-Mobile but I experienced a lot of data dropouts, phone loses connection then usually reconnects after 5 or 10 seconds but one time actually required a reboot. Was wondering, if it's even possible to flash the T-Mobile modem, might this help my issue. And would I potentially be able to keep the updated ROMs from OnePlus but running with the T-Mobile modem.

No one knows currently. Until we have unlocked T-Mobile variants, the only thing we can really do is speculate.

Not sure if the APN would have anything to do with it but did you try using T-Mobiles BYOD APN settings over the autonomic one the phone sets up?

Few questions about Tencent version

Hi all,
apologies if this has been asked to death. I have found some conflicting info around the web.
I have a few questions regarding the Tencent version of the Rog 3 (8/128 GB strix). As you know most of the ones available on ebay are Tencent versions with global rom installed. Here are my questions:
1) Do they receive ota updates? Do you need to change fingerprint to get ota?
2) Do apps like netflix, google pay and banking apps work? I saw a post from a US person who said their banking apps worked on the Chinese rom version.
There are few international versions available on ebay but the price difference is huge! I don't mind having to flash roms etc if it is possible to get either ota working or I can download updates from Asus site and manually update and also if it gets banking apps/google pay working. Has anyone had experience with these issues?
I live in the UK btw.
Update 30/09/2020:
So, I have finally got my hands on the phone (12/128 Tencent version with WW) and here are a few thoughts:
1) OTA does not work but I have managed to download and install latest update (78 I think). Fairly easy process and so is not an issue.
2) Google pay, bank app and Netflix work fine.
3) I had to manually enter APN for Virgin Mobile to get internet access.
4) 4G speeds seem much slower. Maybe due to fewer bands supported by the Chinese version. Will test it out in more locations and networks later. If I continue getting poor 4G speeds I might return the phone.
5) Black crush is a problem. Dark scenes in videos are not great to watch. I hope they can fix this.
6) Camera is OK at best. Coming from Pixel 4XL I can notice a big difference. Gcam works ok. Slightly improves image quality.
Will update again after I've used it for a few days.
Cheers.

I bought a Tencent 12gb and 128gb storage version and you cannot get ota updates, however if you manual download them and place the file in the storage root, it finds it and installs without any issues. The fingerprint works fine, as well as google pay and all my banking apps (natwest, nationwide and paypal).
What I understand however is it depends on how they set the device up before sell - mine was converted properly i guess as it hasn't given me any issues with updating and downloading banking apps, the 144hz works as well as finger print. It takes WW firmwares without any problems.
I bought mine from a UK seller on ebay who was selling converted versions.

i have the rog phone 3 strix edition with 128 gb rom and 12 gb ram with sd865. I live in saudi and the phone i got was flashed to global rom, yes no ota updates but manual update is easy to do and i have no problem. My carrier has no problems but its a 5g capable phone but i have a 4g plan xd. Netflix works fine as well as everything else, when you flash you basically have the international phone version, no bloatware or chinese apps anymore and playsTore is fantasic as on a samsung note 20. There is one problem for me, that is when i put my brightness low the screen refresh rate becomes 60 fps, nothing that i do can fix this i am on latest version 2007.58 ive heard other people have same problem-any solutions?

Latest version is 70 not 58 and it fix the problem. Wait for it to be uploaded to Asus website.

Hi,the phone does not exist in asus support
Anybody knows why

General I bought the Motorola x40, ask me anything!

Cons so far:
5g doesn't seem to activate, I'm on EE UK. volte and vowifi works
Can only add curve card in Google pay. Lloyds bank and Starling bank don't work
Google location history doesn't activate.
Pro:
Camera is good
Fast charging
Great performance
Screen is good
Speakers sound loud and crisp with bass
Software is full of options and customisation

Does the phone fast charge if you're using it for watching something/gaming

Yes

1. Does the phone have in-display fp (or) side mounted ?
2. Can you change the device font to google-sans or something similar ?
3. Have you been able to compare the 1080p display to any of the new 2K ones. How does it compare ?

Have you found an EDL loader for it?
Is it "range restricted"?
You can post a link and I'll tell you.

2. Can you change the device font to google-sans or something similar ?
3. Have you been able to compare the 1080p display to any of the new 2K ones. How does it compare ?

1 in display, but it's mounted very low. Unconformably low
2 yes you can change the font
3 I've compared it to iPhone 14 pro max, and it's very good display

Have you found an EDL loader for it?
Is it "range restricted"?
You can post a link and I'll tell you.

I haven't found and edl loader.
What do you mean by range restricted? Network bands? They're all active In the UK, but there's no 5G. It's probably restricted by Motorola

Most (some? all?) Motorola Firehose loaders are crippled and don't allow you to read (and write?) all the partitions.
My Moto G Power (2021):
Code:
C:\>edl /r /pboot_a boota.img
Found EDL 9008
Configuring... Ok
Requesting GPT 0 header... Ok, receiving... Ok, requesting entries... Ok, receiving... Ok
Requesting read boota.img...
<log value="ERROR: range restricted: lun=0, start_sector=1421632, num_sectors=196608" />
Nope

No 5G outside China, can't add all my cards to Google pay, and I'm just missing Google integration. No location history, no assistant, and have to unlock phone to use Google pay.
I'm getting CN OnePlus 11 with global rom on it, and locked bootloader.

In general, which device do you prefer, the 30 ultra or elx40?

If you waited for a little longer, you probably could've flashed edge 40 pro global rom

Yeah but then again, I 100% need root to pass safety net after changing to global rom because I couldn't have locked BL again. OnePlus allows it. Anyway I purchased global variant of OnePlus 11. They had a deal so good that it worked out cheaper than buying the CN version
