Is IR camera and face unlock accessible in custom roms for poco?

IR nope, xiaomi doesn't released the drivers yet
face unlock use the camera, no the IR, so yes

I'm pretty sure the face unlock uses the IR camera, for which the drivers are proprietary so face unlock won't be coming to custom ROMs as things stand.
I'm ready to be proven wrong though

https://www.androidcentral.com/smart-lock there is the info about it
Face unlock use the camera, it's a funtion of android, to the other side the IR unlock use the IR camera, you can just install an AOSP rom with smart lock and you have face unlock, but it will doesn't use IR camera.
So is it likely possible for Xiaomi they publish propertiary drivers for free ? ( for IR Camera) . Do they did in the past ever for eg. infrared sensor ?

We're talking about different things here. Face unlock using the front camera as discussed in that article is baked into android since Lollipop. The F1 uses a different system and while it probably can use the old one also if you force it, you'd be daft to do so since it has (as a headline feature) a dedicated IR camera to facilitate superfast face unlocking in all light conditions (including pitch darkness). It's like the iPhone X one, but uses only one camera while the iPhone uses 2 (to allow 3d mapping of the face, mitigating against spoofing with 2d photos).
Just to check I've not misunderstood something fundamental, I just locked my phone and covered each of the front camera and the IR camera in turn. As expected, it won't unlock if the IR sensor can't see my face but the front camera can, and vise versa.
The IR camera and unlock code is all proprietary, so can't currently be included in custom ROMs. I'm hoping they'll open source the drivers so it can all be used, but that probably needs people to hassle Jay Mani. Or maybe some clever person will manage to Kang it, though if they did that wouldn't say much for the security of it all!

it depends, if the provider doesn't allow, they can't released the drivers, as far as I know

Hi all.
I just took delivery of a Redmi 3 in Switzerland, bought from an online vendor. The unit was pre-configured for English, had the Mi market replaced with Google Play, and very few pre-installed apps. The MIUI version shows
MIUI Global 7.1|Stable
71.91.99(LHPCNCK)
I have not rooted it, but have replaced the Mi Launcher with Nova for a familiar look.
The only real thing I miss is the lack of 5GHz wifi, which gives me poorer reception at home. But I also have a couple of questions:
While I appreciate Google Play being installed (and default), am I missing anything important in NOT having the MiUI apps store installed, or not having a Mi account?
I want to use this phone with Google Cardboard. But, in use, while the VR works fine when head turning up-and-down, it doesn't respond when moving side-to-side. The Compass app seems to work OK (if a little jittery). Is there some calibration that I need to do? Or is it just not possible?
There's a setting under Network->More called "wireless display". Does anyone know what this is, if I can use this to display my phone's screen on a bigger display? Is it Miracast, something else? It would be great if I could use this feature.
Many thanks for any suggestions. And this is just after day 1!
i believe that's problem with Redmi 3 it self, since it also happen on me, when i use cardboard it deosn't work properly ( ithink there is something with sensor, not sure if it hardware or software)
as you MIUI version, if you only need english language, go flash via Mi flash an official Rom or even perhaps Developer Rom (curently v.6.3.25) it's stable at least for me, also battery is good for few days (more than 2 day battery life-depend on how you use the phone)
Many Redmi 3 user also expirience the same problem. Because there is no real gyro hardware. U can check it from CIT mode. Akm or bosch sensor suffer jittering but only a few Yas sensor got the problem, by disabling the magnet in the cardboard. Like my device sensor is akm so i cant use vr but that ok i fell sick when using vr (borrowing my friends vr). I still hoping its only a software problem. Coz there is no gyro hardware, some said its an emulated compas and accelerometer sensor. If its true may be an OP or DEV can make the fix
I have the same problem, it's impossible to pan sideways, just up and down, it makes Cardboard useless. Hope someone can find a fix to this problem!

I just bought a VR visor, and my phone has a Yas sensor, in this case should it work? Can I use the magnet or not?

Some can, some is not. If your vision jitter, try not to use the magnet. See if it still jitter or not.
Hello, I have purchased Redmi Note 4 (sd 625) India via Flipkart. The same phone is also purchased by my friend via Flipkart.
But I notice variation between my and his camera and when I dig out the problem I come to the result that both phone has different camera modules.
I've a Sony imx258 back camera but he has a Samsung S5k3l8 back camera. So, I contacted some more Redmi Note 4 users and some of them have Samsung Sensor while some have sony.
So my question is while flashing any custom ROM will my camera work or not? As I think the camera blobs for both devices are different.
Note:- To view your camera sensor just go to Settings>About Phone>tap kernel version 5 times>version information.

Camera works fine for both sensors . However, the slow motion and other feature enabling tricks work only on Sony sensor.
You got lucky. Xiaomi changed the camera sensor from first Sony to Samsung and then to Omnivision. Sony is the best, Samsung is fine and Omnivision is the worst out of this three sensors.
You shouldn't get any difference if installing a custom ROM

You're right maybe I'm extra lucky cause I ordered it in the month of July and still I get Sony IMX
My friend broke his RN4 display and he's selling the phone and when I asked him, He is willing to exchange the camera sensor(He has the sony sensor whereas I've the samsung) Can I just pop out his camera sensor and plug it in into my device or things are different on the software level too?

Technically it should work because the drivers for the 3 different modules are already installed within the ROM.
What is the product number of you and your friend's device? It should be on the box (2016101 or 2016102). And would you be able to take a picture of your friend's Sony module? A lot of people on a different thread are trying to replace their Samusng/Omnivision modules with about 50% success because we don't know the exact numbers of module code of the IMX258
Thanks in advance!

Hi All
I am planning to buy a RN4 from Flipkart.
To one of my queries in Lineage OS thread, one user responded the following:

I've read that the modded Google cam is the best camera for custom roms possibly even better than stock MIUI as there are settings that you can tweak to get the best possible photo quality however there is a huge catch, it doesn't work with Omnivision camera. Well technically, it still works but you don't have HDR which is pointless as the app was modded for HDR to work.
There is a huge chance that you'll get Omnivision if you buy brand new as newer note 4x batches no longer comes with Sony or Samsung camera. Hopefully the October 6 camera commit by highwaystar on Lineage fixes this.
Yes, you can flash MIUI camera ported from MI A1 but HDR and few other features does not work and yes there is camera quality degradation which is very common on non-nexus/pixel devices as there are proprietary libs/drivers that's closed source.
---------------------------------------------------
People who bought RN4 recently from Flipkart, please help me make an informed decision by mentioning what camera sensro you got?
Sony / Samsung or omnivision?

Hi,
my IR receiver blinks all the time because of some front sensor on the phone therefore could it be possible to develop any app and use the model as an IR blaster? What do you think, does anyone know which sensor (maybe the code beamer) does that and would it be possible without any Samsung permission and cooperation? Or does exist any reliably working and tiny 3.5 jack IR blaster with this model?
Thx
M
I dont think there is any ir blaster in s9+
Nope. Last Galaxy S with IR I think was the S5

Funny enough I think it is just detecting the light that the iris scanner uses. That light is not smart enough to function as a remote though so while your phone may trigger the receiver it is not going to send it commands.

But the second question about 3.5 jack IR blaster still needs to be answered. Maybe someone in future will respond.

You can always use a cheap and very good working Broadlink RM Pro.

Even though the S9+ doesn't have an IR blaster you can get a wifi remote control that works.

I googled everywhere, but can't seems to to find anything on it. Is it possible at all or not due to SoC?
I would highly doubt it, mainly because the pixel has 1 back camera and the mate has 3
Could still happen, other phones have more than one camera and have had it ported over, OnePlus 6, LG g6 etc etc but the only Thing that might be an issue it them. Phones have had snapdragon processors as opposed to Huawei Kirin.

Porting Google Camera is much easier from Snapdragon SoC to Snapdragon SoC, yet there are still issues on OnePlus phones cause of the different sensors. I'm afraid it would take someone in the knowledge and motivated to properly port GCam for Kirin, and then you have the problem of the multiple lenses, something GCam doesn't support natively. First and foremost Huawei should just significantly cut back denoising and some of the sharpening, or just offer the option. Otherwise stock camera app is well rounded (minus GCam's awesome photosphere).
Night Signt is what I am more interested in from the new Google cam.

You are absolutely right. Some tweaks from Huawei and the stock camera App is brilliant. There is no need fpr GCam on Huawei especially since Huawei started with those dedicated night modes.
The problem does not seem to be the SOC as Mate 10 pro has a perfectly usable GCam port but the P20 pro doesn't. The problem is with the IMX 600 on the P20 Pro and Mate 20 Pro as it enables pixel binding technology to capture HDR photos within the sensor itself rather than stacking different shots together. The pixel binding technology relays on the sensor to capture four pictures at once while other HDR technology only captures one photo at each shot. Oneplus uses the same technology on its secondary sensors so If there if any ports are working with the Oneplus's secondary sensor, then it might as well working on the Huawei devices. But If that's not the case, then it's not likely for us to get hands on any workable GCam shortly.
What a shame. imo the Mate 20 pro cam modules are really capable, but the software tends to screw up my images. I mean as mentioned, the sharpening, and the noise reduction is way over the top, and makes the images oilpaintings rather than actual pictures.

but you know, you can download this apk and its working perfectly
Also waiting for this :angel:
I tried many ports but nothing worked. Agree with Don.Chen's insight, I also found M20P compatible with some P20P's ports, but not the M10 ports. Miss GC's Portrait mode. Basically hardly any support for Kirin processors. Saw people mentioned Huawei's Camera API 2 is blocked, thus GC will not work for HDR+.
I hope some devs will turn and give it a try to mods gcam to work with our device

At least it works . And it's real 40 MP photos with zoom.
I tried one of the gcam version but it didnt work correct, so I deleted it. But i have a feeling that after that my camera doesent work so good anymore, it doesent take so good pictures anymore. Do you think that something like that is possible, or it is just my feeling? I dont have any good pictures to compare between, so it is hard to prove.
No change in terms of quality here. I guess you could do a soft reset? Has anyone found a port for wide angle support? Thanks
