Hello everyone! I tried to find any information about the question I want to ask here on forums, but can't find anything similar. So... I have the Star A3 Phone (chinese). A good phone, but poor camera. And I have access to Flying 5S phone (Chinese also) which has almost the same hardware besides camera which is really good. People made good firmware for 5S using firmware for Star A3. Actualy they took boot.img and cameraopen.apk from the stock firmware of 5s and put them to the srar A3 firmware, as I know. So, I installed camera module from 5s instead native modul in my star a3 but, of course, camera doesn't work now. I thinkt that I should change cameraopen.apk, libcamera_client.so, libcameracustom.so, libcameraservice.so to it may work but I'm not sure. Please tell me how to make 5s camera work on my Star a3. I have firmwares for them, so if it will be needed - I will put them.
I am confused in buying this tablet ...I fear that kitkat will soon get outdated and i will not be able to use some apps... I have read many forums but nobody discussed of the update for pad to lollipop...Will it ever get updated ...and if not will I be able to use apps even after incompatibility with kitkat(if there is any way to get out of the problem)???
there's no way to get any decent rom out of xiaomi as they don't release the source code.
there's a few ported 5.0 roms put there but many things are not working yet and development is very slow (it's been months and there's no updates)
MIUI 7 is just released, but still in kk.
i don't think xiaomi will move to lollipop anytime soon.
save yourself the trouble, go get other tablets.
sad to hear that, i'm planning to buy 1, i want this this tab just because of it's powerful specs, high battery and size.
hope we can have at least lollipop update from Mi
After experiencing the lack of real updates on the Mi Pad, I've given up the purchase of many Mi devices.
For example, the Redmi Note 2 is a great device at a killer price (about $130 here) with near-flagship specs. But it is stuck on 5.0, so of course I'm not getting it because I know it'll be stuck down for a long time simply because MIUI never releases code, and never releases kernel even though they're supposed to.
If the kernel was released by Xiaomi you'd have killer roms on these devices in a single week.

There won't be one. Xiaomi only has 4 developers working on Mi Pad, part time. And the support has been terrible. As a MiPad owner, I'm horribly disappointed. Their support for their other phones are just as awful.
according to miui forum they need beta tester to apply global beta team for miui7 MM base for xiaomi device http://en.miui.com/thread-197475-1-1.html
lets pray sodamn hard mipad will get it too
Other then 4.4.4 updates as in just the apps here and there Mi Pad will NEVER be getting Android 5 nor Android 6. They the MODS that have no idea either since launch been saying "wait and see". If you search you find MIUI said about marshmellow just what would be getting updated and MI PAD is NOT there.
Yes, MIUI 8 for Mi Pad is available now, I think so
Miui 8 is available on the Chinese ROM only.
A general point is that in the fast moving world of mobile telephone sales, to stay profitable, you must come up with new and better models regularly. This means a limited software shelf life for old phones, where 'old' means over 2 years. Of course there won't be support for older models, most owners have bought other handsets by then, anyway. Of course xiaomi should release the source code though.
Well, I cannot say much about MI Pad support as I do not have that one, but pretty much ANY MI devices got MIUI 8 now. Yes, some are running on top of old Android, but it does not matter much for most users, and please tell me which company supports such old devices as Redmi 1s? What is offered with Huawei T1-A21L tablet still commonly offered across Europe by 3? Correct 4.4 with no plans to give any updates. So let us be more objective. Well, I agree, to get sources would be nice. BTW, di we get them for Nvidia own device?
Its time to let the source kod loose...why are they Holding this for them selfs ? If they are smart release the source kod and maybe just maybe we forget about that they didnt support us.... 1 thing is for sure, i will never ever buy a Xiaomi product again! And i hope you guys are with Me on this One, this Company is a joke !
Good news, the Kernel just released. Finally! https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/tree/mocha-kk-oss/kernel

Im with you. the support for this tablet has been pathetic. Really regretted buying it. Hopefully now we have source code some good folk will make it usable again
Only custom. Not by xiaomi
it seems that its about nvidia... because mi 3 td also use kk in miui8.mi 2s use lolipop in miui6(5.0.2).also,cm12.1 is better then miui now.and i suggest you to flash cm12.1
hi guys,planning on buying the redmi note 3-snapdragon variant(kenzo,if im right).so is there any stable cm based rom with all the hardware working (ril-3G data,camera -photo& video-- being my priority),xposed compatability is imp too for ui tweaks.i dont mind even if its just lollipop,just want to have the lighter cm based rom,aosp would be too bland for me.hoping for advice frm rn3-sd users,in fact i wanted mi max but development seems to be slow for that device,plz pour in with your advices
I think you can go for it. I am using this devices since the release and I am very happy with the development.
it has official CM
If you want VoLTE you can go for AOSP
I have one and everything works perfectly on CM13 with the front camera fix flashed and Radon Kernel. I love it
You can definitely buy this phone. Most of the cm13 based roms have all the features working, also there's a huge choice between custom roms. And of course xposed is working very well.

Correct. If you don't care for Volte, almost most of the custom roms are stable enough to use it as daily driver. Volte is still not supported in most of the custom roms like CM13. CM14 supports it but it's WIP rom right now.
thank you very much for the input friends,it means a lot to me.i was going thru the respective rom threads(cm13,rr) some users were complaining abt camera,fp sensor,settings fc...something abt newer rn3 having slightly diff h/w and causing problems.anything in particular that i should be watching out for?...i just ordered 32gb ver of rn3 frm amazon india,its pending dispatch.ever since its release i wanted to get one..although seeing some user complaints i was wondering if i made the right decision...thats why i was in such a rush

Well, they are right. All the problems you've mentioned here do exist, but....
As i can see you can use xda search pretty well, and if such a problem occurs you can easily find a way to fix it.
So don't worry ?

I hope we can make xiaomi treat redmi 3/s users as equals compared to mi serie users (as u can see, redmi users have much less feature in camera app and worse software support compared to mi serie users)
I think that there will be no "PLUS" of the MI-series over REDMI series if they put the MI-series features to the REDMI-series
By the way there's unofficial way to put that features on our redmi, right?

I'm sure it's possible. I already added some new features with the help of my testers (as I don't have redmi 3s yet), but it need deeper modifications to add the most professional features. If I have luck I can get my device in a month or 2, + the time I get bootloader unlock and than I will start real development. I want to make a professional miui based rom, with tons of ui settings and many new camera options. Wish me luck!
Hi, i'm all new to XDA and i hope, creating this thread was not the wrong way to do. If so, thanks for pointing me in the right direction then.
I actually only wanted to know if there is an existing port of the google pixel 2/3 camera app that actually works on an Umidigi One Pro and if not so, are there any devs interested in making one ?
The device itself is a really great phone, only the camera is below average and i was hoping to improve that by using the gCam, only i can't seem to find any recent version that works on the device and i almost tried them all by now.
Many many thanks for any hint or help provided.
I would be interested too....
I don't think that Umidigi One Pro will ever get the GCam because of Mediatek. Snapdragon devices manage in getting it thanks to the Hexagon DSP, which is inside Snapdragon processors. A good solution for the camera of your Umidigi One Pro could be the Lenovo Snap-It camera, I used it on my old Umidigi S2 and it increased a lot the quality of my photos. I leave you the link to download it (unfortunately the thread was abandoned so that app won't get updates but it will surely be better than your system camera app)
