It did not unfortunately, it just said System Update and no details. Anyway it has done and now optimising apps etc, so should not be much longer then can see if any revision changes etc
I've not noticed any changes since updating - other than a newer kernel build (8/10). The camera app still seems quite buggy - that's the only issue I've experienced so far so can't really comment on anything else.

Your camera app too? FFC seems a bit shifty, the back camera seems fine. SlowMo video seems to freeze up though at times. Also is your front facing camera fairly blurry on taking photos? Mine is.

It's mainly SlowMo videos that struggle - sometimes they crash the camera app or don't play back correctly. My front facer is perfect, I'm really impressed with it.
Possibly one of those monthly security patches? I hope they release images for each one cause I haven't taken an OTA since... *thinks*... *thinks harder* Holy crap, I don't think I've ever taken an OTA.
Legit, I was in Verizon aka no update land from LG chocolate to droid after droid to Galaxy S3 all of which on cm and rooted etc. Since I've had MotoX 1 and Nexus 5 and 6 in T-Mobile, all rooted stock various kernels. Fastboot FTW.

It isn't... I applied the OTA and the monthly security patch is still October.
I would really appreciate it if someone could pull the OTA. On my 6P's first boot it downloaded the OTA right away. But when I went to install it it never rebooted or installed. Thanks in advance.

Same issue here. I'm wondering if they pulled the update.
I got mine last night, took a while
I must say although the UI is very snappy, anything involving app updates seems to take forever. Anyone else think this?

It cannot be declined?

Hello everyone, a question to all owners of SCL-L01. It happened to me yesterday to take pictures with the flash of the camera and came out with a color tending to purple. I immediately thought of a hardware malfunction but with surprise also in that of my work colleague come out like that. It does not seem normal to me, does it happen to you anyway? Attach sample file.

I tried with daylight and already it's better but I do not understand automatically because of this shade? I have an old Samsung terminal that behaves a lot better .. How are your photos?
At the moment I downloaded Footej and set it with daylight and active flash, so when I need the flash I'll take that one. I really do not understand, even my friend's Huawei Y5 device works very well.

My photos are usually fine , but honestly I don't expect much camera performance from a budget phone let alone with a custom ROM.

One moment, I am now the stock rom but I do not speak of quality in herself than to me is fine, but the flash when activated produces this horrendous purple color.
Have you tried to take a picture on a white surface with activated flash and auto-balancing? Would you be so kind to upload it here?

Thank you very much you have been very kind! At this point I think my device is faulty. I do not think it depends on the rom, I've tried different but the problem remains.

If you got time it would be best if you flashed a ROM and checked if the problem still occurs , if you don't have time the easiest option is to tweak the white balance manually .
how are you with the Viper? If I have time I want to try to install this rom and see if the problem is solved.

Pretty good , but the camera is the same as most ROMs here , below average , going to test desalesouche's latest lineage to see if it's any better .

Audio recording sounds fine from around 25cm , will try to test it.
Install both the Viper and Lineage yesterday and unfortunately the problem remains! I do not know what to think, if a defect of my device or this model has this strange feature. However, it is safe to have a white balance and when set to automatic does not work well. I downloaded yesterday I said Footej that I will use in flash mode with balancing set to daylight and the camera stock for all other situations. If there is someone else with my same "problem" I would be happy to compare myself with it.
I am still on stock Oreo, rooted, running MIUI 10.2.2.0 (Android 8.1). I have already modified my build.prop to enable API 2.0. OpenCamera and Manual Camera both seem to function properly, even using RAW mode.
I would like to install GCAM on stock ROM while still deciding which custom ROM to eventually install. My front camera is not working, which I would like to fix, but not a huge deal right now. Where do I get GCAM for my OS and any necessary libs to install? GCAM doesn't show up in a Google Play search so I assume I have to side load it. Where can I find it and what else am I missing here?

Hi,
As far as I know, there s no working GCam apk for Mi8 lite.
I'd love to get it but it s not possible nowadays.
Maybe in the future hopefully.
You can check this topic where all the working mids of GCam for all devices are listed.

Well, you got my curiosity up, so I started trying the different Xiaomi GCAM releases and actually found one that works on the Mi 8 Lite. I can not vouch for how well it will continue to work in the long term, but it does work. I took a few snap shots with different settings, including Night Sight. All works. It is the one for the Pocophone F1 dated March 5 (MGC_6.1.021_XCAMBase_F1_v3.apk). Everything seems to work except for taking 4K video. That gives me only a black screen. Change the setting to 1080P (it defaults to 4K) and video DOES work. Give it a try. Your mileage may vary.
Here is the link to it: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_XCAMBase_F1_v3.apk
Edit: Now this is VERY weird! After it worked in all modes last night, today it only works in Lens Blur mode. No other mode works now, not even video. WTH? I changed nothing on the phone itself! I think it started not working when I turned the flash on. So if you try this, do NOT turn the flash on and see if it works for you. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Still broken.

Wow that should have take much time to test every single one? I just tried few and has none worked I gave up.. Your test is interesting I guess a developer would find a way making it working... I think one day we love have a fully working app, hopefully. Maybe you should report your experience under the proper thread and it could help the devs making it work for the mi8 lite?
Thanks for the info anyway

To be honest, I did not try every single one. I just tried the newest version for each phone. The F1 latest worked so well at first. I just cannot for the life of me figure out why it worked, then stopped working. That just blows my mind!!
Okay thx for telling us. I think I'm gonna share your experience in mi8 game thread maybe one dev will have a look and help us.
That said I notice the community for mi8 was way more larger than our so I'm afraid that as long as mi8 lite will remain less owned that any other major Xiaomi device like pocophone F1 or mi8 it'll be hard to get développer attention.
Just have to hope a dev finally buy one lol...

That would be GREAT man! A real dev could probably figure this out in very little time. Hopefully so. I will be moving to either the Pixel Experience or Resurrection Remix ROM in the not so distant future. Just dont have time right now to mess with it. New upcoming job, mom in hospital, lots of crap going on to be worried about complications on the phone right now. I cannot have much downtime on it atm unfortunetly. I cannot afford to miss any calls.
Anyway, did you try it yourself?
No I didn't tried yet.
But great news on other thread in mi8 lite forum someone provided a solution.

I am now on the PE ROM, which works quite well, especially now that it does include the current Mi 8 Lite kernel from the Xiaomi source code PIE kernel (also meaning it is no longer firmware specific). Even DT2W works because of this. I have noticed that LineageOS is not getting any updates here anymore. It is already two months behind in Google security updates alone. GCAM works right out of the box with Pixel Experience. If you really need GCAM, give it a try. You can even download GCAM from Google Play with this ROM, as it appears to Google as a real Pixel phone.

Well, gotta say, the one from play store works almost fine. The panorama photos are the problem. They make the app crash. All cameras seems to have an issue. Almost all the apks and the lineage camera does not have a way to make the video work. That was my main problem. Now the video works, but the best think about the 2 lens on back, the panorama pics, don't ?

My device was oreu and once I flashed retus on it and everything worked, though this might not help you to get faster updates and of course it also means that you have to unlock the bootloader which later might cause OTA updates to fail to install even if you manage to download them.
Cool. Week that's at least a good news as it's possible to do that. What that Pie's image by any chance?

Unfortunately it was not Pie rom, it was Oreo. There is no pie rom except for GSI roms. Hopefully someone who got the recent Pie update in Brasil will post the rom or capture a download link, then we could flash it in a similar way.

I'm sorry I thought he was asking about my previous post about the Oreo rom flashing. My bad!
i bought s23 ultra . im on stock rom didnt update nothing yet . should i update system or not . Because usually when update system phone getting more worse battery life and peoples say right now april update drain battery . Will i miss something if i dont update phone ? Honestly i want update for better camera . Maybe there is way update camera only or what should i do
Definitely update, not battery drain or anything. They fixed important camera ''bugs''. However, some phones need some time (couple of days) after some updates to settle and learn usage to optimize the battery.
I would wait. Last thing you want is worse SOT. The cam update is part of the firmware.
I would say, update. I haven't noticed any worse battery life. The camera updates and security patches are well worth updating.

So maybe after updates worth make factory reset to comparasion.
I was skeptical from years but in example in my fold 2 from OneUi 3.1.1 after supdate via ota to 5.1 running faster without reset. Overall daylight use performance similar to S23U when I comapre side by side this devices.
But this case don't change my mind about updates and I want stay my S23U on the latest A13 more time after sharing A14 or maybe even A15.
Samsung will eventually force update no matter what. Might as well get it done and over with.
I still have s10+ as i give it to my son... Phone after all those OTA over the years is as fast as it was new and no issue with SoT, in fact sot is comparable to my 23 ultra... Maybe 1 h less... Still crazy good photos, everything works... I think all that updates issue is placebo and some legends who knows form where they come from...
