[Q] camera hdr

Hello I have nexus 5. Bootloader unlocked. Running CM 12.1
I downloaded the "Google camera" app.
Here are my questions...
I wantvthe exact camera app that comes stock with the phone..can u link me
Also the HDR setting on the app thatvi have dissapered..what could have happened? How can I get it back?
Thank you

As far as I know, the app from stock is Google Camera. And yes, you get HDR+ on the app too.

That apk mirror link should be the most recent version. If the HDR function doesn't show up on your phone then the ROM is affecting something.

i cant get to that link..its not working

It work for me!

ok so thats what i have.. so now what? my phone is bad? i bought this phone like this.. so its a little over my head on how to do things

If you just bought the phone I think I would flash back the stock google image so you are running completely stock.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
There are a ton of threads around here and on Google about how to flash a factory image. Once you've done that if you're interested then you can learn about rooting and flashing custom roms and stuff.
Buying a phone with a custom rom isn't a great idea if you don't know how to tinker with stuff like that I don't think. It really is easy to flash a factory image. The "hardest" part is making sure you have the drivers installed.

i didnt realize what i was buying when i did.. i just needed it unlocked.. so i have NO idea how to know if i have drivers. i managed to flash gapps on here so that was something. ill look at that sight.
so you defiantly think that is the problem with the google camera? could it be anything else easier for me to fix?

Help choosing ROM and Recovery

Hi everyone.
I rooted my Note Pro 12.2 (wifi) a while back and installed a basic rooted ROM, not CW12.
I honestly don't remember which ROM I flashed. I believe it was just a stock de-bloated ROM, and if it's the one I think it is, in the thread it says that ROM was faulty and dev has stopped for it. I see the kernel version and build in the "about" section under settings but I'm not sure if that number would tell me which ROM it is, or just the ROM and kernal that it was built on top of.
I basically wanted a stock style ROM with the ability to change things as I wanted. I'm still noticing a TON of lag. Scrolling on pages, loading apps, screen lag between touch and actual input of characters when using on screen keyboard, etc etc. I've frozen a bunch of bloatware and other things and it helped a little, but it's still pretty bad.
Audio latency with recording and MIDI apps is very bad, but I know that's improved with lollipop.
Aside from lag, it seems that GPS won't lock on no matter how long Iet it look for a signal (hard to tell if it's the ROM, but my Note 4 has found GPS very easily). Also, my Note 4 (unrooted and stock at this point) is waaaaay smoother and faster than this tablet. I realize we're talking about lollipop vs kitkat, and that the Note 4 version I have is the snapdragon one. But it still seems like performance should be better on this tablet.
So I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a good ROM for me to flash until lollipop comes out for the wifi version of this tablet. I want the stock multi-window functions (4 at a time plus floating windows), so CW12 is not an option. I want to use some of the Samsung apps like s note and Hancom office. I use the s-pen from time to time with the pen apps like write-on-screen.
The "rooted" features I want to access are turning off the camera sound (adding the switch to the settings menu in the camera app, not just replacing the sound file with a dummy file) Changing PPI of apps (xposed module) and full access read/write on micro SD cards and really important is the ability to add any app to the multi-window apps list and force orientation. I've been able to do all this with xposed modules.
Other than that, stock would be fine if it wasn't so laggy. The main reason I want to try another ROM is the lag. On screen keyboard has a lot of lag, but even my Logitech k810 bluetooth keyboard is laggy.
I'm also currently travelling and don't have a PC with me. So I'm hoping I can flash the ROM without ODIN, or perhaps I can use one of the ODIN-for-android type things on my Note 4 to flash a ROM to the Note Pro 12.2. Also I have the stock recovey, and would like suggestions on which recovery to use instead. Again, no computer with me to flash a new recovery. Ido have an OTG cable and USB flash drive so Ican back up my files before flashing the new ROM, as well as a miscro SD card.
Any recommendations for a smooth, fast ROM? Any tips on flashing it without a PC? I know I can copy the ZIP to the tablet and flash it from recovery...but it is the stock recovery...is this going to be sufficient?
THANKS!

The hyperdrive rom by sbreen (in the dev section) works great. Isnt there an internet cafe in the vicinity? Ask them for assistance flashing the beast. I love twrp. Good luck!
I tried to find an easy root apk thingy so you dont need a computer, couldnt find anything (but maybe kinguser or something like it will work)
Link to twrp with explanation

Thanks! TWRP is I think what's on my Note II back home. My tablet is rooted already of course. For the Hyperdrive ROM, one thing I'm a little confused about is if I have to FIRST install a stock ROM and THEN flash the custom ROM. I'm a little confused about why exactly but I see that in the forums from time to time. It's recommended for certain ROMs. I don't know if flashing the stock ROM updates some other firmware/hardware driver type stuff that's needed for the new kernal to work or what.
There might be an internet cafe. I'm flying from Vienna to Lithuania today. Trying to explain to them that I want them to download and install ODIN might be tough knowing only English and Spanish haha.
Sorry for the noob question but is clicking the thumbs-up icon what generates "thanks" or do I do that somewhere else?

If its rooted you can install twrp without computer (see my link) use twrp manager fromthe play store for that
You only have to flash the custom rom
(Make sure you backup on an ext sd or something, then delete everything in twrp, install custom rom, restart and done) I also always backup the launcher settings, if you backup the apps with titanium restoring is very easy afterwards)
Lemme know if this works for you!

I'm already having trouble installing TWRP. I can't do it from the app, as my device isn't listed. I downloaded the zip file of the correct version of TWRP and tried to flash it using the stock recovery. But when I boot into recovery mode, it still just goes to the stock recovery. Then I downloaded and installed ROM manager from the play store and it shows TWRP as being installed, but whenever I boot into recovery I just get the stock recovery.
I'm back home now and I guess I'll just try to do all this with ODIN.
Is there any reason I can't just install the custom ROM using the stock recovery? That's what I did last time.

Ok So I got TWRP installed via ODIN then I used it to clean wipe and flash Hyperdrive ROM but gmail app won't even open, just crashes immediately, and it's one of the main apps I need so...probably gonna look for another ROM...or most likely gonna flash the stock ROM, unroot and sell the tablet and get a Dell Venue 11 Pro. Might wait till the end of July though, the supposed release date for lollipop on this device.

Had the same problem. Install hyperdrive without the gmail app option. Afterwards install itmvia the play store.
And if you want lollipop give cyanogen a try. I love it (but its a personal thing).
Ad make sure to read the Venue reviews, they are not very positive.

I wanted to try lollipop because I use it for music, and latency is much better with lollipop. My Note 4 is running lollipop and I get way better performance from MIDI keyboards and guitar amp modelling. I really like the multi window functions on the stock and hyperdrive ROMs though, 4 at once, floating, etc. I'm sure as soon as lollipop is officially out for this device, someone will release a rooted version.
Thanks for the tip on gmail, fortunately I read it before getting too deep and just reflashed without gmail it and then installed the gmail app as you suggested and it does work. There still seems to be a bit of delay when using the on screen keyboard, not as fast as I had hoped. But it's up and running.
I was considering the Dell after trying a bunch of different audio and video editing apps for android and realizing that I just need full photoshop, premiere, and Reaper with all my VST plugins, so I need windows. Perhaps Surface Pro is a better choice but I like the Venue's chassis better, fanless, rounded corners. Also new tablets might be coming out with Windows 10 so another reason to wait...
My laptop is great but it's really big and I like a touch interface for on screen mixers and instruments. So I figured a tablet PC might work best for me. But the problem is GUI scaling. with the Windows legacy apps like Premiere and Photoshop, the buttons and menus don't scale, and on an 11" 1080 display they are quite small.

Just wait for win 10 and while waiting fine tune your 12" beast did you try system tuner pro already? You should be able to get less latency from that.
(And did someone mention "buy a Mac" already?

I am surprised, because after testing dozen ROMs I found stock ROM fastest one. Just root and debloat it.
Not so any lag or problems, but with custom ROMS I had a lot of problems.

Indeed, cyanogen requires a lot of tuning (but its what I like about Android, I am more tinkering with it than actually using it I believe

I checked out system tuner pro (didn't buy it yet just read the description) What exactly would I adjust to get lower audio latency? Just clock the CPU higher? OR does it have audio-specific settings not mentioned in the description?

Looks like Samsung official lollipop (I read that it has way better latency) is finally coming to your tablet.

WHAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!?!!? I've been checking sammobile EVERY day for the lost couple weeks waiting for this! OMG OMG I'm hoping I'll be able to use the Samsung Audio stuff with this, their DAW and amplitube and all that...plus I'll get Hancom office back...Thanks for the heads-up. I'm glad I've been using CM12.1 though So I can compare the experience.
Looking forward to the rooted version of stock lollipop making its way to xda as well! Now... to figure out the best way to back up my current installation...

need help getting GT-P3110 back to stock.

trying to help a friend who purchased a 7inch tab 2 on the cheap.

If you have a custom recovery i would use a stock based rom, e.g. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2225784

Can you recommend a stock based rom to the 3g p3100 version or a custom ROM? I try many roms but I have the same problem sometimes random restarts, lag in basic things like watching videos and opening the pic gallery it happen when open the settings too, I tryed now the Resurrection Remix latest security patch and cant watch videos looks a problem in codecs or something, to work I need reboot but the videos runs so slow and browsing too its impossible (Not using chrome or another browser downloaded from playstore, thank you.
All flash that I do is FULL WIPE System, Data and Storage 100% clean.

Don't expect to much. It's an old tablet.
Make a backup of your ROM and maybe check some 4.4 or 6.0 ROMs. If you're still not happy, go back to stock or it's time for a new Tablet.

Long exposure issue after manually updating camera from APKMirror

After OnePlus 7 Pro release, I had installed the stock camera from APK Mirror. Later upon experimenting with it found that under pro mode even with 5 seconds shutter speed I was unable to capture Long exposure photos like I used to. Reverted to Stock 3.0.16 it works, on v3.2.99 its just saves the first frame. Is anyone else having the same issue. I had cleared cache and storage post installation of the new camera and still get the same results.

Try the new 3.3.8, and if it doesn't work then go back to 3.0.16, cuz i think those apk arent really made for the op6 or maybe it'a a firmware problem that needs to be updated( each apk comes with a specific firmware in the update i guess and sometimes there is no need for a new firmware update )

Wifi and audio doesn't work

I just flashed Resurrection Remix ROM and then my wifi doesn't turn on and when I watch youtube videos no sound will come out from the speakers. Please help.

Mine doesn't work too. Tried Evolution X (10), Lineage (11), Nitrogen (11), Pixel Experience (10). Tried also flashing the original persist.img, none of them makes wifi work.

Hey guys, I found the solution to those of you who still haven't fixed it. You should be flashing a vendor image/Xiaomi Miui rom and then flashing the custom rom on top of it and everything should work from there. The instructions are somewhat unclear as wiping data on my end completely wiped the original vendor image/rom. Once you do that you should be golden.
The process to my understanding is
install vendor/miui rom
install custom rom
format data
and you should be fine
https://sourceforge.net/projects/nitrogen-project/files/surya/10.0/firmware+vendor/
If I'm too vague, please reply and I'll try clarifying it to the best of my ability.

Unfortunately flashing NOS fw is sometimes not enough, at least for me I needed to flash whole xiaomi.eu rom and then it worked for me with steps you posted... After you flash xiaomi.eu rom you will have working wifi...

i try Lineage-OS 18 with your process and it worked
thanks

After researching and researchig and RESEARCHINNG, I have (I think) found the solution. I also do have this problem and I did not solve even until now (maybe tomorrow?). So here is my Story:
I flashed Lineage OS 14 by Dev. Andi on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 P5110. The custom ROM does work although sound and youtube videos don't. I downloaded build.prop editor from the PlayStore. I looked at it and it seems the audio has less properties than before. So I was like, "Let me try another ROM, it might work". Tried Oni ROM (something like that) and its faster than the Lineage OS ROM but can't play youtube videos and no AUDIO AGAIN! So I researched for about 5 hrs? Then so I concluded that I need to install the stock ROM of my device to basically regain all the audio and media properties on my device. I hope this helps and might work for me as well. Also, don't forget to backup your previous ROM so that if its fixed, try restoring it in Recovery Mode. That's all & thanks!

Not really. People having problems with WiFi or audio on their X3 are using the wrong Vendor. Flashing the correct Vendor fixes the problem

isn't that the point? I will go back to Stock ROM to retrieve all the properties I lost when I installed a Custom ROM.

not sure, but thats what works for me.

I use a custom ROM and everything works. The opening post of each custom ROM actually tells you which firmware/vendor the ROM needs and when you use it, WiFi and audio and everything else will work.

it works now with what I did.
