Hello
Is there no one who can optimize Snapchat for our Honor 8? The H8 has a great camera and it's sad to see Snapchat not getting everything out of it. Is there any developer here who can do something about it? I know my best option would be contacting Snapchat but I doubt they will do something about it.
Wrong section. Post your question in Q&A. Thanks.

According to Snapchat their app has issues on the Android platform itself. Snapchat is planning to rewrite the Android app for the platform. This is what happens when you're not OS agnostic.
Currently, I doubt anything can be done about it since Snapchat is a closed source app. Unless, of course, some of the Jedi hackers on XDA are able to optimize it with the power of The Force.

Snapchat is rubbish anyway.
The thing is on Android because of the different kinds of hardware snapchat uses this bizzare way of optimising per device. It limits the resolution of the video or photo taken to the resolution of the screen. So for instance even if I had a high end phone with the best camera but with a 720 or 1080p display and my friend has a mid range phone with a 1440p display he'll definitely have great quality. The Honor 8 usually takes photos at a much higher resolution and snapchat just doesn't let it do so.
Sent from my Honor 8 using XDA Labs
Some Samsung are making good photos even with Snapchat on zoom per example but with my Honor 8 if I zoom something it sucks
I don't use SnapChat, but everything I've heard about it indicates the programmers of the Android version were lazy and just take screenshots while the camera is on instead of actually using the camera to take the picture. That's why the resolution sucks and you get such poor quality when you zoom in. It is not a full resolution picture.
However, the weird spinning issue you have is likely due to the Honor 8's jacked up gyroscope. We can't use VR apps because of it. It seems to affect 100% of Honor 8's yet no update is coming to fix it. Not a high enough priority, I guess.
I read that Snapchat is going to rewrite the app from scratch on Android is this true? And when it will come out?

Yes. B394 Honor 8 running Android 7. I don't have any trouble with it and didn't have in previous versions of EMUI either. Tested with 360 Youtube videos.

I don't use Snapchat, but if they don't work it is totally because of the Snapchat's poor coding.

Yeah the app is pretty poorly developt for such a big company. But the 3D figures work perfectly on the honor 9 of my friend so i think it might have something to do with the messed up gyroscope of the honor 8. I hope honor will fix this in Android oreo but i dont expect it to happen. Sadly.

I have no problem with the 3D figures on Snapchat. They work perfectly.
Overall I love this device , it is any day better than anything else under $700 (~Rs. 50k in India). But I have the habit of nitpicking and thus I found out some camera features that are missing and should be added by Vivo in future updates.
1. 4k video recording @60fps
2. Super slow motion @480fps
3. ARcore apps support
If anyone knows any method to achieve above mentioned features by any means , then please do respond.
And let's not stop bugging Vivo to get more features .

Buy the Indian version. Its 99% (or may be even 100%) similar to global version. You can run any launcher without any verification, google assistant + google lense comes pre installed and it is certified on play store. What more will global version have ?

Does Indian version still come with Jovi installed but deactivated? Probably better that it wasn't anyway so it's less redundancy /bloat when there's Google AI.
Just got mine. Was lucky to be able to get the Indian version.
Overall it's a good device, reminds me of the s9 and note a bit in the hand.
I have gone throughany devices in the apst year or so (Note 8, S8+, S9+, iPhone X, Pixel 2Xl, xiaomi mi mix and htc u11) I still love mi mix more than all. I wish it has a better camera. I love it so much I have 2 ( one for backup as I have broken couple in the past) it's the only phone that I keep going back to.
Vivo seems to be a good phone, UI is a bit different and will take some time. I would recommend getting Indian or international version as you won't have to deal with the headache of Chinese phones.
Indian version doesn't have Jovi, it's remapped to Google Lens.
It does have Jovi but deactivated because if you go into settings, there is a sub-heading with Jovi, which I guess controls the AI function in camera & games.
PS: Just checked, no option to activate it.

Thanks. So it's pretty much dead bloatware if u can't uninstall it or activate it.
Lol. These ROM designers... Smh.
Third party button remap apps... Do they work? Can AI button be used to launch camera etc?
Got an Indian version. I miss face unlock from op6 or Ipx. I wish it'd be a WQHD+ screen like s9+ and IP certificate. What I miss the most though is NFC, as I'm using the gpay all the time.
Hopefully the software issues will be sorted.
I have a problem with AOD. It doesn't display notification icons even though the options re checked in the settings. Weird.

It does not support third party app notification,only stock dailer and sms app.
Vivo must upgrade AOD and give more customization option and functionality just like Samsung AOD offer.

The phone is not even available to buy yet and yes I am sure a pet will be done if technically possible
I'm taking a wild guess here... But I think it needs to be released first..band after that they also have to release source code aswell ...band my third wild guess is this will happen without your request,because developers are curious of how they can make it work.. oh..also .... They might just port hardware into our devices.. because that's what they do..
But what do I know.. I'm just guessing.
How much time?
How much time(approx) will it take to port Google pixel 3 camera for OnePlus 6. I am so excited to use pixel 3 camera port with depth control ?.

As we all know the recent pixel 4 only has face unlock, is there any possibility that will come into our custom ROMs? I don't mean to tell other biometric auth are not worthy, but a dedicated face unlock would mean we can completely avoid miui for good as the complete hardware can be properly utillised
This post is just a discussion if this is a possibility or not. Others who find it offense leave now.
No. The pixel 4 has the proper sensors for face unlock. Poco doesn't.

If mi 8 roms can be ported to poco f1 with different face unlock between both then why won't this be possible? (Mi 8 has a 3D face unlock similar to pixel4 or iphone, poco has 2D face unlock)
And other than the extra soli sensor i dont see anything else different in this case

Nope, mi 8 have the same face authentication like poco, mi 8 Explorer edition it's the unique xiaomi with 3d method. Whatever, you can't "port" a hardware feature, you only can adapt it to the hardware you have, but it's not the same, the pixel 4 got a very specific biometric hardware. You can see the same interface in the app, but this no supposed work as same.
My poco phone can be unlocked by my Brother and cousin brother with face unlock. It is not as secure as thought

The pixel 4 has 2 ir sensors (as does the iPhone X series) meaning it is capable of 3d face unlock. It's nothing to do with soli
As you will know, the F1 only has 1 ir sensor, allowing 2d face unlock but not 3d

I guess you are talking about custom ROMs as I am on stock MIUI and nobody else can unlock my device by using their face. I have tested multiple times and the results were the same.
To implement the softwares we don't need the hardwares as exact right? Maybe a few actions could be removed and just accept the 2d data alone?

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it the ir implementation is proprietary - a xiaomi thing rather than being baked into Android. As such a custom rom would need to include the ir face recognition solution xiaomi developed, which isn't available to anyone else
Of course, the old camera based face unlock is still available, if that's if any use to you
I remember now, lineage os tried making a face unlock for pie and they got the libs for the ir camera, there was some legal issues and then they had to discard the development. That's why we won't get the ir camera unlock for any of custom ROM...

I am a new poco owner.
MIUI roms (non port) indeed has proper face unlocking process; it cant even unlock if my eyes are closed but in CRdroid (with the claim of IRcam working) still unlock the phone even when I close my eyes.
Android 10 removed face unlock.
If you needed face unlock, please use android pie. You can find the face unlock option inside smart lock.

no bro,in miui 10 and 11 (official) is not secure, my brother can unlock my phone, my bro and I have 9 years difference,
Guys can we implement a 3d unlock by using both the IR and camera so that we can some how port the pixel 4's unlock feature just by some tweaks. I know it will not be as good for unlocking in pitch dark atleast it can be implemented....?
Is anyone else having problems like "failure to enroll in facial unlock" upon entering the initial face set up screen? I am on pixel 4 rooted via magisk boot.img patch method and the current may security update.

Most of GCAMs by default work with Google Photos, so if you're using a 3rd party gallery app, look through the settings on the app to disable the Google photo gallery only thing so you can use another gallery app... Plus if you're using HDR it normally takes more time for the photo be ready, so take that into account!
