Snapdragon Camera V3.0 [Marshmallow][Redmi 3S]

Hi all I found this camera while browsing...So thought of giving a test on Redmi 3S...It works pretty well on the device.. Source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/themes-apps/app-snapdragon-camera-v2-2-marshallow-t3402224 Also check my screen shots for more details..Credits to the original developers.. You must be rooted with TWRP flashed to install this.. Things that don't work: 1.)camera2API cannot be enabled if you want to use this app(force closing of app if you enable camera2API...So disable it if you are planning to use this app) 2.)Video recording.(App will force close if try to switch to video) 3.)Cannot save to SD card(only internal storage works). 4.)Some options in the app maynot work like manual controls....But default settings worked ok.. Features : 1.)There is a denoise option which can be turned off or on according to the situation...Turning denoise off preserves more details in the image at the cost of background noise if lighting is low..In daylight photos it works great... 2.)Overall image quality is good.. Screenshots:     Stock Camera sample   Snapdragon camera with denoise off   Snapdragon camera with denoise on   Download here :  SNAPDRAGONCAMERA_v3.zip (4.11 MB,) Just use TWRP to install... Uninstalling: Just delete these files using any root explorer and restart device  /system/app/SnapdragonCamera2.apk /system/lib/libjni_snapcammosaic.so /system/lib/libjni_snapcamtinyplanet.so Do it properly and don't brick your device...happy flashing !!!

In this tutorial, I will guide you how to remove that annoying Female for English (India) Waiting for WiFi notification on your phone.

Female for English (India) notification has been there on most of the devices and the annoying fact is that it won’t go just by swiping across the notification bar. The “Waiting for WiFi” message displays intact and the notification returns as soon as you wipe it off. Here’s a fix for the same which takes less than couple of minutes to implement.

The notification (Female for English) is being displayed either because there had an interrupted TTS (Text To Speech) download or download can only be completed over WiFi. As far as you use the mobile data, it just won’t go and displays “Waiting for WiFi” message. In this tutorial, I will guide you how to remove that annoying Female for English (India) Waiting for WiFi notification on your phone.

How to Remove Female for English (Country) – Waiting for Wifi Error from Notification Bar

If you chose ‘US’ as your locale, you might be seeing Female for English (US) instead of India. However, this workaround would possibly fix such error and help you remove it from your notification panel.

• Turn on your mobile data or connect to a WiFi network which has data access.
• Now head on to the ‘Language & Input’ option. If you’re on MIUI, it’d be under the ‘Additional Settings’.
• Under ‘Speech’ option, tap on “Text-to-speech output”.
• Now choose the “Google Text-to-speech engine” under Preferred Engine tab.
• From there, tap on “Install voice data” and choose the language according to your notification.
• Let it download. Once it’s completed, just reboot and see whether it still showing under notification panel.
• or cancel it      

How to fix "Themes from third party sources not supported" issue on MIUI

"Themes from third party sources not supported" message appears on Android devices screens for Xiaomi users who try to download a theme to their phones or tables not from company official market but other internet resources. Since January 1st Xiaomi have banned all themes and other MIUI firmware components downloaded from internet resources different from their official market site. They did it to support designers intellectual property rights, to secure favorable conditions for development engineers and further their interface development. All download can be done successfully from designer.xiaomi.com site only. As to the users they can download their favorable stuff only from Xiaomi official market site.

It is not important which site (free or not) one uses to download his favorable theme. In any case he will get the message "Themes from third party sources not supported". This ban can be avoided by employing two methods we present below. Note that both methods are completely legal.

They are :

1. Register yourself as a beta tester;
2. Register yourself as a designer.

Today we will teach you how to remove the restrictions safely. You can choose any of the presented ways. Both work.

Register yourself as a beta tester

1. Create your Mi account via email (it’s free);
2. Install color avatar on your Mi account;
3. Send a report of any problem emerged when using MIUI to "Screenshot problems " department;
   
   
4. Wait till Xiaomi remove their restriction (about 2-3 days) and become a beta tester.

Official registration as a beta tester unbans downloads from third-party resources. Therefore the message "Themes from third party sources not supported" will not to be seen any longer.

Register yourself as a designer

1. Create your Mi account either via email (the same way as in Method 1) or by using your phone number;
2. Navigate http://designer.xiaomi.com/ and tap Login Now (right button);
   
   
3. Input identifying information (phone number or email which was used for account creating), input your account password and then enter the site as a authorized user;
   
   
4. When you see a pop-up window , choose the upper line- "Individual designer" and tap;
   
   
5. Input your data:
   
   
   
   a) Nickname – Designer name;
   b) Your Real Name;
   c) Your Mobile Number;
   d) Your Post Address;
   e) Tap the green button that submits your data and registers you as a designer;
6. Wait until your data are verified that Xiaomi notify you through email, (approximately 2-3 days).

After receiving a notification in your email from Xiaomi that your are now officially is an application designer, you can download any themes from Android device memory without restrictions.

Entering EDL mode from fastboot mode

Some firmwares support rebooting to Emergency Download (EDL) mode in Android Bootloader aboot module (the "reboot-edl" command) but fastboot utility doesn't recognize "reboot-edl" in the command line and refuses to send the command to the device.

Since FastBoot protocol is simple and text-based, it is enough to send a packet containing "reboot-edl" text over USB. The simplest way to do that is to patch Windows fastboot.exe file, replacing "reboot-bootloader" text with "reboot-edl". As "reboot-bootloader" string is found in the command line, fastboot.exe sends the same constant string to the device. So if "reboot-bootloader" is replaced with "reboot-edl", you can specify "reboot-edl" in the command line and the same text will be sent to the device.

I occasionally locked bootloader in my officially unlocked/rooted Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon) so it could only boot to FastBoot or Diagnostic 900E modes. Tried to swich from 900E to 9008 with QPST but it reported unspecified error.

Analyzing aboot (emmc_appsboot.mbn) found that it supports "reboot-edl" so the only  thing remaining was to find a way to send it.

With patched fastboot.exe, successfully rebooted to EDL mode (9008) and re-flashed proper partition images.

Detailed guide on XDA-Developers

Therefore, to switch your half-bricked phone to EDL mode, you should do the following:

• Download the attached ZIP archive and unpack it to an empty folder.
• Boot the phone into FastBoot mode by holding both Volume Down and Power buttons until the bunny appears.
• Connect the phone to the PC.
• Double-click the "edl" (edl.cmd) file.
• If the bunny disappears, your phone was rebooted and now should be in EDL mode (LED should flash red but not always).
• Run MiFlash, wait 3-5 seconds and click "Refresh", COM port should appear in the list.
• Proceed with MiFlash as described in the appropriate topics.

To check if this method can work for your device, open aboot image from FastBoot firmware file set (emmc_appsboot.mbn or similar file) in a hex viewer/editor and search for "reboot-edl" string.
