Please can I see your Developers Options page like mine below

And if you click on that "Mi Unlock Status" what do you see?

Same thing bro.

It usually appears when you plug your phone and it is locked or the display is off.

Also when you turn off your phone to charge

Do one actually need gcam? The default camera is okay na. Only the front camera be like my old gionee x1s front camera. Not too impressive.

Use GCam and you will notice the difference for both front and back cameras.

You can use night mode on your stock camera to capture more details during the day too

Yea......
But I noticed that on other brands oooo
Most especially with d dew drop notched-style phones

That issue is prevalent with devices using notches, not on xiaomi alone

I HV seen the redmi note 7 today, I prefer my redmi note 5 to it, I don't know why

Maybe because you're notchophobic. smiley

i think the second one is global version and the first one is Chinese version slapped with global ROM
We have 4 versions....the first is an Euro Version....that is why it ended with E.....
We have Global with G...
Then there is another version with C....as chinese
And T for Taiwanese

Then how do we know a bootloader is not properly unlocked?

genius43:


Right now difficult to tell till events like what happened to some people comes up

olayinkajnr:

Thankfully, there is a way. It will however require access to a PC.

Fake Unlocked Bootloader

Symptom - China devices with global firmware and locked bootloader. MI unlock status shows unlocked but fastboot oem device-info shows bootloader as locked


Gotten from:
https(colon)//en(dot)miui(dot)com/thread-3461437-1-1(dot)html

Steps:
Enable developer options
Check Mi Unlock status - either locked or unlocked
Connect your phone to a PC
Open a command prompt, or terminal
Run the following adb command - fastboot oem device-info - response should be either locked or unlocked.

If Mi Unlock status reads unlocked, but oem device-info shows locked, then said device has a fake unlocked bootloader.

Kindly assist.

Good day guys. I've been enjoying my RN 5. I want some thrill by installing the gcam.

Though I can go through Google to make findings but I prefer getting my feedback from here.


In case the gcam didn't come out fine, can I easily revert to my default camera?

Will I be able to install subsequent Ota updates without issues?

Kindly drop a link a working link if you have one.


Note: My bootloader is unlocked.

GCam is a separate app, it doesn't affect your stock Camera

Gptech, zainkay and others show this guy the route
