You can't use with Android Nougat/7.0,7.1 etc. I suggest you to install pixel exp 9.0.

Thanks a lot for your post.
Seems like the Mi5s still have capacity for nice pictures even if it is not so new
Thanks a lot !

It's a very helpful post, thank you! I just switched to Lineage for change of taste and customizations in Pie. I will try some of these gcams right away. It's a very big shame that Xiaomi dropped support of this powerful model for new Android releases, unbelievable. I wish someone could pick up Treble support at least so we can have Miui with Pie. Unrelated a bit sorry, öfkemi kusmam lazımdı bir şekilde. Elinize emeğinize sağlık.

I had a very Good Gcam, but i don't know the version. I reset my Mi5s and put the Mini Global 10.2.3.0.
I tried install the version in the post but i didn't...
It's a problem with the Miui that I have? I need help please

I wouldnt say that. Jpeg is much better but for edibility, raw can help. Best mode to produce best picture for me, HDR and vivid filter.

You have bought phone with some Chinese custom crap rom. It is not valid MIUI rom, but some modified version with bunch of shi**t under the hood.
See if your bootloader is unlocked and change that garbage

/e/ project - Google free open source android available for OPO

Looks interesting - meant to send absolutely no information to Google. Anyone tried it?
REALLY interesting. I'm going to try.

I was looking for this kind of ROM long time. Going to try now. :fingers-crossed:
forked from Nougat LineageOS but opensource except map application.
it's in beta stage.
So far so good...only complaint so far is the click/noise that the lens does when exiting the default camera app (open camera)...i will try it for a few days but will return to my normal rom as that "clicking noise" is really annoying (to me).
what mean/is /e/ project?!
Now the only thing OPO would need is completely FOSS rom. That would be really cool. No proprietary bits. Something like Replicant.
Is it nougat rom?

7.1.2
Can anyone provide me some screen shots and help me out about battery backup of this rom????
Read the FAQ page, it is written by Gael Duval. The name sounds familiar.. Yeah he is Mandrake Linux creator.. That brings back memories.
Is this better than the LineageOS microG ROM? I'm keen to try going Googlefree, we have no idea what Play Services and Google Framework are sending to the mothership.
can any one upload some screenshots of this?

[Redmi7A] I hate MIUI, what options do I have ?

Hello,
I use a Lenovo K6 Power and though it has some issues, i love the stock android on this device. I recently got a Redmi 7A and I like the hardware it offers, WIFI Calling, dual 4G VoLTE standby but absolutely hate the MiUI.
Can you please suggest me if its possible to remove MiUI from my device.
I would like to install the original stock android like in my Lenovo K6 Power or something close to it.
I am aware it may void my warranty.
Cons about MiUI:
#1 auto brightness is either too dark or too bright.
#2 certain apps run out of the screen [refer to screenshot]
#3 notification sounds are different every time
#4 bloatware
Thanks for your help.
[if this is in the wrong section/sub-forum, kindly advise where to post this]

Hi there!
You have several options in the forum:
1. Mokee: i tried both the Android Q and Pie versions and Q worked better for me, with Pie i couldn't play audio and with Q i couldn't play audio sometimes
2. LineageOS: the last time i tried it it still had audio issues, couldn't make calls, i don't know if it still works
3. GSI roms: roms for treble enabled devices, such as ours. I'm currently using a lineageos 17.1 treble rom and so far has been working pretty good, the only thing i haven't tried yet are voip calls but i think they will work.
4. PhantomOS: not available yet but i'm eager to try it out, it's a modified MIUI and hopefully development flourishes.
5. Debloat stock MIUI: if none of the above work for you you can atleast debloat and root your device, the best way to debloat it is with XiaomiADBFastbootTools and root with magisk
Anyone of these options are way better than MIUI in terms of multitasking, battery and smoothness, at least in my opinion.
Hope that helps!
Or just get rid of the device like I did (see https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-7a/help/quick-questions-miui-11-t4081701) and get something better.
Another option if you can still live with the MIUI 11 bloat is to use a different launcher.

[ROM Recommendation] Trying to install first Custom ROM in Asus Max Pro M1

Guys, Need a little help. I just want a stable Custom ROM. And my foremost requirement is "Call-Recording" feature. We don't get it in Stock and most probably Pixel Experience doesn't have it either.
I don't need Customizations or Root but if the ROM's stable and has minimal (or no) bugs, I just want that 1 feature. Plus Stock is getting kinda boring after 2.5 years I would have went ahead and experimented but I'm on a tight schedule.
Although give multiple suggestions if necessary ! Thank You in advanced

what about install PE and get a magisk module
Install CrDroid. That has call recording in built, and it's also automatic, meaning you don't have to press a button each time. There could be other ROMs with automatic call recording built in, but I don't know of any.
LineageOS also has call recording, but you have to manually press the record button each time. If you don't want to do that, you have to root and install a Magisk module to automate it.
My recommendation is to get CrDroid. The ROMs are official for Zenfone Max Pro M1, and you can get Android 11, 10, 9 and I think even 8, though the last one isn't updated.
Edit: I found that call recording was not working, and later updated to version 6.13 (of CrDroid) and now it's working but I would recommend to anyone who is interested in CrDroid just for the call recording feature to first test and see if it works and only then start using it.
I'm using Android 10 based ZenX rom.
I think its one of the best rom.
It has inbuilt call recording feature & many more.
You should try it once, but before that upgrade your firmware to 60+ version.

So I updated my redmi 7a the other day, and now, it seems like all the gcams don't work anymore. When I open gcam, the others force shutdown themselves, while the others only shows black screens. Any help would be appreciated.

I've downloaded them and they both installed, but the thing is they only show black screen when I open them. Front cam show you your face then force shuts down when you press the shutter. Video seems to work, but it's not what I need. Got any fix or any more version that doesn't malfunction because of the problematic MIUI 12?
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/mwj3gh3rsbszz/gcam_all all 32 bit, have fun if you need 64bit... I saw only 3 working but it is nothing interesting. that's why i went back to 32 bit rom. for me, the best are 3.2xenius(Expace+mod), GC3.1_NightShot_by_Expace_ENG, GCam_3.1_ERIDA_arm32_by_Expace

Thanks, I thought I saw a glimpse of hope but unfortunately I'm wrong. I've downloaded everything that has 2021 on the date, everything installed but to no avail it's all black screen. I even went and installed the 2020 and 2019 ones but nothing seems to work. Since upgrading, everything went to garbage. I'd appreciate if you let me know whenever there's a fix found.

I actually haven't unlocked my bootloader yet, my 7a is a chinese unit so I don't trust it enough to try other roms. The probability of it being bricked might be low but I don't trust this phone that much.
GCam 3.1 от ув. SerJo87 works great, results are much better than stock.
