I've had a search around but there doesn't seem to be clear answers on this one, unless I missed something.
I know kenzo has beta MIUI 8 but it seems LP-based. Are there any plans for MM? I'm guessing it would be beneficial for custom ROMs since radios/drivers would be MM-based.
Being a newbie when it comes to this device means I've been wary of switching from stock-based ROMs due to the radio issues. I'm guessing the custom MM ROMs rely on unofficially patched files that cause issues returning to stock or switching ROMs. If someone could enlighten me on this I'd be grateful.
Also, how well supported are features like the IR blaster or Qualcomm audio on most ROMs?
this is what is keeping me from buying a rn3p, if its not getting official miui with mm im off to a Mi max.
If you want fast updates of of android use nexus or motorola. Xiaomi has a very very bad track record of updating android versions.
Yes it is highly probable that redmi note 3 snapdragon will get mm update but dont expect android updates after it because only flagships like mi3 mi4 mi5 get assured updates for latest os rest only get assured miui updates
Hi all,
I have a problem with the LG CAM Plus for LG G5 after installing Lineage 14.1. The unit will not be recognised and there is no way to use it as it is right now. Could any developer please look into this and make a bug fix.
Thank you so much..

According to the Official Lineage OS for LG G5 thread they do not support the LG Friends app and libraries required for the modules. So there is no bug to fix.
Also in future you would be better to ask the question on the official development thread so the right people see it.
So here is my dilemma :
I really would like Android 9 Pie, (I was thinking LOS 16) for a variety of reasons :
The Google Camera 6.1 is intended for Android 9+, (yes I know BSG is working on making it compatible with 8.x) (I tried it on MIUI 10 based on Android 8.1, and if you install it as an update to his 5.3 version, panoramas and video work. (no normal pictures, no Portrait ) So having LOS 16 would mean not having to wait for Xiaomi to update MIUI to Android 9, and whatever they say, the visual change wont be so striking as with MIUI 9 --> 10, so I don't think that's top on their list.
Digital Wellbeing would be pretty useful, and from what I heard it wont be in MIUI 10 Android 9 (whenever that comes out)
But I'm holding back for a variety of other reasons :
Being on LOS 16 would mean getting Gcam 6.1, but also losing the stock MIUI photo app, that I still use :
Whenever I'm in a situation where it's image processing is more fitting, (night for example; Gcam spurts shaky blurred photos)
For Slo-Motion and Timelapse
The video mode has incredible stabilization that Gcam does not have.
I also use the manual mode for long exposure times etc.
So are there ports of the MIUI cam for other ROMs?
The TWRP build isn't an official one yet, (from what I understood that means it can't handle decryption, so would erase the device?) I'm fine with that but would there be any other possible problems?
My biggest fear actually is that if for whatever reason I want to come back to MIUI, I'm not sure I would be able to do that. I mean, I think I know in theory how to do that, it's just that
The different ROMs you can find here (that's where I downloaded MIUI 10, but I updated from the settings > three dot menu > choose package ; with what I had downloaded) Can those be installed from TWRP, if I want to revert?
So there goes, I haven't written everything bugging me, but these are the main things,
MIUI Cam for LOS? (and other ROMs)
Reverting
I would really like to hear what all of you think.

It's real easy to revert to stock/MIUI. Just use TWRP to backup your entire stock system image before flashing LOS, then if you ever want to go back just restore from there.

Now we have a twrp version that handles the encryption of miui. So, no need to worry about this!
You're overanalyzing things. Switching a ROM is a matter of minutes so it's very easy to go back if you don't like it. About the camera... Tbh, I prefer Gcam for its wonderful low light shots and much sharper photography in general. I'll miss slow motion and the manual mode but it's not that big a deal for me anyway.
you dont have to use custom roms, i am myself using miui rom as it is the best for me right now. have tried others rom but always back to miui, i flash globe miui rom which has some of the bloat removed and its pretty good.
I would suggest to try the roms you are looking for. Try miui9, Miui10 , LOS16 whatever and get the one which fits the best for your needs. That's the way I did. I am no on los16 and it's damn good. I like the pie stock and Volte is working. Now the Gcam mods are working since the last update even the new 6.1 is working. And due to working TWRP you can switch roms in minutes....

If I want digital wellbeing or any other pie-specific feature, I *do* need a custom ROM as MIUI isn't on pie yet.
is there a way to take long exposure photos with the L0s 16?
well i wanted to ask the same thing .. is it worth it to change between roms .. i mean do the touch and keyboard improves on other unofficial roms ?!
I would suggest stick to the stock for now. As pie build is just around the corner. And after that we can expect gcam to work fine. There would also be fix for touch sensitivity in the stock update.
Now, before switching to poco I was on custom roms for more than a year as stock was filled with bugs(zuk z2). And the most annoying drawback that I faced was that every now and then some app would detect root and won't work. This happens even with magisk safety net and magisk hide. So using a phone with that issue as a daily driver is really annoying. Apart from that for a custom rom there are monthly updates which always recommend clean flash although you can get away with dirty flashed but still. One positive side is stock android experience is always amazing and nothing can replace that. In my opinion stock android feels way more polished and classy compares to MIUI or any other non aosp based rom. But if you want to use your phone as your daily driver then I would suggest you to stick to stock rom for now at least.

can you please tell me what version is that, cause I face the same encryption problem and it's a pain to change ROMs and losing my data all the time

However, official twrp is expected soon!
@Lupin The Third thank you dear sir, you are a life savior ?
Hi guys,
I think those questions are not new but i not find up to date and really complete thread for this.
I want to run with lineageOS on my S9+ like my old OnePlus One.
I read many threads about camera. It use a closed software but with GCam port what fonctions are break ? aperture OK ? Gcam can run without google play service ?
Others features are breaks ? (i know for samsung software like knox, i mean hardware features like VoLTE)
On Lineage, i can use full encryption and after update OS with TWRP (twrp have no problem for decrypt phone and apply update ?)
Thanks o/
The gcam port is working but the flash is still buggy.

all camera hardware features works ?
edit : i have exynos version if that change something
Yes the camera works and the video recording..but definitely not as good and stable as the touchwiz stock camera...
Thanks for your response.
And for others features like VoLTE, you know if it's OK ?
I recently flashed Nusantara rom on my Redmi note 9 pro(Indian) and while I am using a Gcam port which allows better outputs but for my everyday use the Xiaomi stock app was best with a great ux and I would like to know if there is a way to get it back.
P.s: I have not rooted my phone just unlocked and flashed the rom.
Edit: got to know about ANXCamera but I use things like Google Pay extensively so is there any way to get it without rooting?
I agree, the OEM camera is superior to alternatives. I haven't found a suitable replacement yet. Given that you want to avoid to root, the following option seems not viable.
