You could go to www。miui。com/zt/jianding/
Scan the QR code and download the app that is developed by xiaomi to tell genuine xiaomi phones.
It's from the offical miui website. The "zt" referes to "sepcial topic", and the "jianding" refers to "tell right from wrong".
I'm not sure if the app supports English.
If you need help, you could print your screen and post it here.

Few ways. You can install CPU-Z. Sometimes some of the info displayed there is like it should be, despite being a fake, but I haven't seen one yet where everything is how it should be.
You can also make a screenshot, and then check the resolution of that screenshot. If the screen is lower res it will show.
Is the interface a bit laggy/stuttering? Is the LED torchlight bright enough? (Not as bright as on Samsungs big boys, but the fakes I have seen are pretty dim.

[Q] Display colour quality?

Hello everyone.
First of all, I don't even know if this question is noobish or not, but I just can't solve this "problem" (or not?)
So, the thing is, I don't like color "fading" on my GS3 display. I see layers that fade out one below eachother, and it is deffinitely not right. For example when I start some app like Solid Explorer, the second before the main page loads I see these annoying "layers". And also on any image where the color has to fade out into another color, it is also noticable. Then, as I guessed, it depends on kernel.
As I said, I don't know what kind of question is this ) and I don't know if someone knows about that but still, do you know something about that?
PS. I attached a screenshot of solid explorer before it loads the main page so that you could know what I'm talking about.
Thank you in advance
it's called color banding, try a custom kernel

I tried every god damn kernel I found, the best of them was Siyah 1.9.1 but it's not perfect either. I remember when I was on stock there were no such problems and color banding was perfect. Do you know any kernel? What do you use? I have samsung I9300

Thats the thing. No one can tell you what one will work for your device as each and every device is different. So you will have to test them out.
As for the language. The whole GD is not needed. While I dont really care this is a world wide forum and we need to respect everyone.

As I understand, the part of the main aims of this website is to share our experiences about different devices. So, there is a big chance, that someone has had a problem like me, this is why I asked? Why are you so aggressive towards me?
In addition, I am not from USA/UK and I'm not native English speaker, but this "GD" thing I hear everywhere, so I didn't know it is that "big deal", specially, when I do not offend anyone.
Anyway, if you don't have any suggestions, you should just leave and put your hating anywhere else.

Ok first you may want to rethink how you come off to a moderator of this forum. I was not aggressive in anyway. If I see anyone use that term they are told the same thing.
Now someone may have had the same issue but what worked for them may not work for you. That is why you were told to try out other kernels.
This is a developers forum not a support site. Most things here will always have a bug or two as we enjoy trying things out and breaking things to see if we can fix it.

To be honest, I really thought twice before posting the last comment, but still, I don't understand what you're saying at all. I said i'm trying lots of kernels to find the perfect one for me, but what is wrong with asking? What worked for them may actually work for me right?
I don't know about you moderators, but we, mortal users, sometimes support each other, so yes, this forum is somehow support site too.
Have a nice day.

No its not this is XDA Developers forum read the rules .

You once more mistake the rules English speaker or not .
You where asked not to use such language all you had to do is not use such language and not reply as above .
What kernel best kernel what rom best rom posts are not allowed on XDA their is no best .

I can read a bit of chinese, and the user reviews in that forum are not encouraging. The forum is also pretty dead.
Some examples:
Rampant SODs and crashes (bluebo claims improvements in 6/19 ROM, but very little feedback thus far)
1 user has obvious dust below screen.
1 user seeing screen flickering under low light
1 user say shutter speed is slow
Users of previous models cussing and swearing that bugs are left unfixed

Redmi Note 4 MTK Camera alternative?

Google it next time : https://www.reddit.com/r/chinaphones/comments/765olg/best_camera_aplication_for_mediatek_phones/
Took me like 10 seconds to find that link
WOW you're so smart! I found that link ages ago, not the thing I'm looking for. Thanks, I guess
You know what. This is why I don't bothering trying to help people in the Q&A section. Figured it out yourself. Next time get a phone with a decent cpu and not a rubbish mediatek one. Jerk.

Ok never did you say you attempted to search yourself. How am I supposed to know what you've done that before you posted this question?
I gave you the best answer to your question I could find. Saying how long it took for me to find that particular reddit post isn't a measurement of my intelligence. You simply decided to come to that conclusion yourself and be sarcastic about it.
Next time why don't you put more detail in what research you've done already when you post a question. Would have saved my time and yours.
Regardless you still should have invested in the much superior Snapdragon model. I did my research and know getting the mediatek model would cause issues down the line.
Since that reddit post was about the only useful thing I could find (I took a look at some others, frankly I wish I hadn't now), I suggest you try what's suggested in there. As said in the post all of them are the same more or less as they use the same API.
Don't be a troll.

Just delete this Thread. I've no source code. Actually I cannot find it too, actual kernel source. Only Companies own it and it's called GPL-GNU and Open source.
Look at the logo of GNU carefully, you find it miserable, there is no sign of humanity and who are behind that are miserable persons suffering from Miserables. Oh god! Have mercy on them, make them conscious, so that they can understand their situation and got some improvements.
In this world the fun is that, it's declared that we have basic human rights but in actuality we don't, we're just the slave.
Tantra says it 'how to use it and you get it'. You just need to know the ways, rules of nature and you get the benefits.
Why I said nature, human is not the part of nature, hell yeah! He should be supernatural but he has been degraded to unnatural. Even in the association of human some animals become unnatural or the victim of human, is the sign.
Great rom! Using it for some days, all seems great but Adaptive brightness (keep it off) and Play protect certification cant get rid of "device is not certified". Google really screwed us...
Really and even this forum is supporting them and making them strong, if they will be in existence then this forum has value, otherwise it's going to loose it's value and the proof is the moderator has changed the forum rules. They have control over it, it's not a community, it's something else.
I'm not ganna post anything here anymore, if they want to delete my account they can do so. Because I knew the truth and only truth has value for me, what I knew.
In fact I have Android 1.0 to 5.0 in a DVD and in laptop latest stable. I was using them on PC, at that time no one was asking Android, only java and symbian cellphones were in tread, this forum didn't exist. Then google took Android in hand and brought it to the next level and made it available to everyone. These professionals are expert in it, so we need to follow them. If google has made some rules and if we need their service.
And about developers, actually I don't know, so I don't wanna talk about them, but we need the professional one. As I can see developers are at their place bragging about their erudition and professionals are benefitting us because they are getting paid, so they're honest.
Fix brightness please! . This Rom so good. I like it. But about brightness

Question Secret Hidden Codes

For the hell of it, has anyone tried any on the A52 5G? I have tried about 60 and only get 10 to work.. Now this is using the T-Mobile version with Android 12 UI 4.0
Are you trying codes just to try codes? Most people go about it the other way around. They have a problem or task to solve and go from there. Your interest seems a bit strange!

Why is that strange? You either have or haven't. Nothing strange about wanting to know which works and which do not for future diagnostic use. Use to use these all them time, on older phones.. Knowledge is power.. You either have it our you don't

Its far from strange. Some people enjoy learning about technology. Knowing how to use advanced problem solving techniques is a great skill to have in your skillset. I personally have learnt the codes for various devices and now, when someone needs help, I have the ability to diagnose it. Thats a win-win for me and them.

I dont have the device so I can't try it out but as you've discovered, most lists of codes on the internet are a mish-mash of codes that probably don't have anything to do with your device. There are some that are Android codes, some that are Samsung generic codes and some are actually for your device. I tend to copy lists from the internet and merge them into a giant list and then when I have a device, go through checking them off one by one. Then I save the list for future reference. I have a folder in Samsung Notes that stores the huge merged list (so I only have to add new codes to it) and then individual Notes for different devices containing just the working codes. Just watch out for the factory reset code. Someone mislabelled that one once and I had to kiss goodbye to my data.

The one code I use to use a lot. Was the one which had all the important info on the phone.. Which included how many call were made since first activated.. Plus, if you bought a used phone, y0u could find out, if it was refurbished, when it was first activated, call, data history.. On this phone as far as I know that code does not exist, as I have not found it yet.

Because if a code on my list doesn't work for whatever reason, I get the complaints and support requests. And God forbid someone ****s up their entire device because they use the wrong list and then I will have days of harassment and blame because of their incompetence.

Just a fair warning: prepare yourself for a lot of people complaining that the code you provided didn't work. I once published a hack for a specific device that some user decided would work on a totally different device and I got days of harassment after they ****ed it all up. Stuff like that can take a huge toll on your mental health if your already in a bad place.

It reminds me of something I see frequently in Linux forums. I started using Linux the year before Slackware and Debian were released and very few things irritate me more in forums than an experienced user telling a new user to RTFM.

You must need glasses.. You misread the OP.. I was just inquiring if anyone has used any of these coeds.. I do not need help or understanding on how these codes work. I have used them many time for older phones I have had.. This being a new phone and how tech has changed. I was just curious on how these new phones utilize these codes.. I'm sorry your butt hurt, but life will go on.
