How to enable hidden features and tweak all settings in OnePlus Camera app

One of the complaints with OnePlus devices is how they lack serious pro photography features. Even though the devices have strong third-party developer communities behind them, the love they receive from the actual company in terms of customization of camera features is often too little.

Be that as it may, the OnePlus Camera app has its own hidden internal menu, which is used by OnePlus engineers for debugging and testing. The menu normally can’t be opened by regular users because the corresponding activity does not have a direct way to be accessed within the camera app. However, if your device has root access, then it’s possible to enter this internal menu. As discovered by XDA Member CoinsClassic, you can play around with some of the core camera parameters and unlock a handful of features that are otherwise disabled in the stock configuration.

You will need to unlock your device’s bootloader and flash a Magisk-patched boot image to follow this tutorial.

Access OnePlus Camera’s Hidden Internal Menu

Using ADB

Install Android Debug Bridge (ADB) on your PC/Mac, connect your phone to your computer, and grant debugging access. Next, type the following commands in the Command Prompt/Shell/Terminal window:

adb shell

su

Grant superuser access to “shell” when prompted on your phone.

am start -n "com.oneplus.camera/com.oneplus.camera.FeatureEditorActivity"

You will now see the internal menu open on your phone.

Using Terminal Emulator

Open the terminal emulator app of your choosing. Termux is recommended, but anything that can access the terminal will work fine. Type the following commands:

su

Grant superuser access when prompted on your device.

am start -n "com.oneplus.camera/com.oneplus.camera.FeatureEditorActivity"

The internal menu will open on your device.

Using Activity Launcher

Download and install an activity launcher app like this one. Grant superuser access to the app, search for the OnePlus camera app (package name com.oneplus.camera), and open the activity named FeatureEditorActivity.

The internal menu will open on your device.

Explanation

We are using ADB or a third-party activity launcher app to start the FeatureEditorActivity which is the name of the hidden internal menu activity. Inside of this internal menu are some settings and tweaks that users of the OnePlus Camera app may benefit from. This menu is meant to be only accessed by developers and testers of the app, so there’s a lot you can do. Scroll down to see some examples.

Example Features of the OnePlus Camera Internal Menu

Use the filter box to search for parameters and edit the value according to their data type. For example, if you want to increase the bitrate when recording a 4K60fps HEVC video, you just need to change the value of the corresponding variable as shown below:

You can also get your hands on the OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 Edition’s camera filters on regular models by searching for their names.

But wait, there’s more — the backporting part. The OnePlus 9 and the OnePlus 9 Pro were launched with a new version of the camera app that featured a new UI based on Hasselblad’s image processing software and some exciting new features. Not only it is possible to sideload the updated camera app from the OnePlus 9 on older OnePlus devices, but you can also unlock a bunch of extra features through the hidden menu.

Google Search will prioritize in-depth content when ranking product reviews

Google Search is one of the main ways people find reviews for a product or service, but it can sometimes be difficult to figure out which reviews are actually helpful. That’s why Google has announced an update to its search algorithm, which promises to filter out less-helpful reviews.

Google is rolling out its “product reviews update,” which the company says is intended to reward in-depth research. The change will only affect reviews written in English for now. Google says “the overall focus is on providing users with content that provides insightful analysis and original research, and is written by experts or enthusiasts who know the topic well.”

The announcement didn’t reveal exactly why Google decided to make the change, but there are certainly many articles and pages labeled as reviews that aren’t strictly reviews. It’s common for publishers to describe early hands-on content or first impressions as reviews, which Google won’t rank as highly as complete reviews moving forward.

Google also released a list of factors that publishers should consider when writing reviews. Review content should “discuss the benefits and drawbacks of a particular product, based on research into it,” “cover comparable products to consider, or explain which products might be best for certain uses or circumstances,” and “explain what sets a product apart from its competitors” among other factors.

With these changes, it should become easier to find detailed and high-quality reviews through Google Search.

HMD Global’s Nokia 2.2 can now be bootloader unlocked

Back in 2019, HMD Global’s efforts at producing a budget-friendly smartphone yielded the Nokia 2.2. Despite the company’s substantial efforts at marketing the device with its “Android One” goodness, enthusiasts weren’t impressed. The first thing that made XDA users hesitate with the purchase more than anything was HMD Global’s weird stance towards bootloader unlocking. Yes, you can make calls, browse the web, get quick updates, and so on, but the Nokia 2.2 is still restricted when it comes to aftermarket development.

However, it looks like things are finally looking up for owners of the Nokia 2.2, as XDA Senior Member hikari_calyx recently made a breakthrough and managed to unlock the bootloader of this device. Since it is an unofficial method for unlocking the bootloader, the process is fairly complex, but Hikari has detailed every action thoroughly, guiding users through every step.

In a nutshell, the process involves backing up a bunch of partitions of your phone, flashing a modded bootloader that accepts the standard fastboot flashing lock_critical and fastboot oem unlock commands, downgrading to Android 9 Pie, obtaining root access through an exploit, and finally restoring the partition backup. After this, you can venture forth into the world of root, custom ROMs, and kernels without involving any other complicated processes!

If you have a Nokia 2.2 and want to give it a try, head on over to the forum thread for detailed steps on bootloader unlock and root access using Magisk. While the method doesn’t require any kind of disassembly, there are risks involved so read the instructions very carefully, and execute all steps with utmost precision.

Unofficial bootloader unlock method for the Nokia 2.2 — XDA Thread

With the primary barrier (i.e. the locked bootloader) knocked down, the next step is for someone to develop a custom ROM for the Nokia 2.2. For now, Hikari has shared the process of installing an AOSP GSI. Regardless, this is indeed a welcome advancement in what previously seemed to be a bleak future for the phone. Happy flashing!

The best wireless earbuds for the Galaxy S21 series: Galaxy Buds Pro, Sony WF-1000XM3, and more!

Samsung’s Galaxy S21 phones are some of the best Android devices to date, available in three models (regular, Plus, and Ultra), and starting at only $800. Recent Galaxy S21 deals have even brought the phones down by $200, and you can expect more sales in the coming months. No matter how much you pay for any of the phones, there aren’t many downsides, except that the headphone jack is long gone.

Samsung’s flagship series lost the beloved 3.5mm connector with last year’s S20 series, and it hasn’t made a return on the S21 lineup. That means if you don’t want to deal with an adapter, and if you don’t have a pair of wired USB Type-C headphones, you’ll need a pair of wireless earbuds to enjoy music. Even if you have wired headphones, true wireless earbuds might be a worthwhile upgrade.

In this guide, we’ll look at some of the best wireless earbuds for the Galaxy S21 series. If you haven’t already purchased a case for your new phone, have a look at our roundup of the best Galaxy S21 cases.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro

By most accounts, the best pair of earbuds for the Galaxy S21 series is Samsung’s own Galaxy Buds Pro. Not only do the earbuds sound great, but they also support Active Noise Cancelling (ANC), and their internal batteries last around five hours. When it’s time to charge them up, you can use a USB Type-C cable or a Qi wireless charging pad.

The Galaxy Buds Pro in its charging/carrying case.

Specification	Galaxy Buds Pro
Battery life	Around 5 hours, 18 hours with the case
Charging	USB Type-C, Qi wireless
Codecs	Scalable (Samsung proprietary), AAC, SBC
Water resistance	IPX7
Colors	Phantom Violet, Phantom Silver, Phantom Black

The Galaxy Buds Pro has a few extra features when paired with Samsung devices. The buds support Samsung’s proprietary Scalable audio codec, which “prevents audio chopping by changing the bit-rate according to the strength of the Bluetooth connection” according to Samsung. You can also charge the earbuds’ case wirelessly on the back of any recent Galaxy S or Note phone, though that also works for any Qi-compatible earbuds.

The most noticeable downside to the Galaxy Buds Pro is that the touch controls are a bit finicky — it’s easy to accidentally pause music or skip to the next track by adjusting the buds in your ear. You can turn the touch controls off completely (as well as change other options) if you want. The buds also use Samsung’s Bixby voice assistant when paired to a Galaxy phone, but it’s easy to switch the buds to Google Assistant.

If you’re curious about our full thoughts, check out our Galaxy Buds Pro review for all the nitty-gritty details.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro

These are the ultimate earbuds for the Galaxy S21, complete with ANC and support for Samsung's Scalable audio codec. However, at an MSRP of $200, they are on the expensive side.

Buy at Amazon

Samsung Galaxy Buds Live

If you’re usually not a fan of in-ear earbuds (like me), or the Galaxy Buds Pro is just too expensive, the Galaxy Buds Live might be for you. The buds’ unique shape has earned them the nickname ‘Galaxy Beans,’ but they fit well in most people’s ears and have most of the features found on the Buds Pro.

Specification	Galaxy Buds Live
Battery life	Around 6 hours, 20 hours with the case
Charging	USB Type-C, Qi wireless
Codecs	Scalable (Samsung proprietary), AAC, SBC
Water resistance	IPX2
Colors	Mystic Bronze, Mystic White, Mystic Black

Just like the Galaxy Buds Pro, the Buds Live can be charged over USB Type-C or Qi wireless, and there’s support for Samsung’s special Scalable audio codec when paired to a Galaxy device. The earbuds also have limited water resistance but don’t go swimming with them. The controls and audio are customizable with the Samsung Wearable app.

The main drawback here is the Active Noise Cancellation. While the earbuds technically have ANC, you need an in-ear design for proper noise isolation, so ANC has little effect when turned on. If blocking the outside world is an essential feature, go for the Buds Pro or below-mentioned Sony earbuds instead. Check out our review of the Galaxy Buds Live for our full thoughts.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Live

The Galaxy Buds Live is a great cheaper alternative to the Buds Pro, with most of the same software features and a unique design. However, the ANC doesn't work well.

Buy at Amazon

Sony WF-1000XM3

The Sony WF-1000XM3 has been praised by many for its excellent Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) and long battery life. The earbuds aren’t just one of the best options for the Galaxy S21 series; they’re fantastic for any device, especially if noise canceling is a top priority for you.

Specification	Sony WF-1000XM3
Battery life	Around 6 hours, 24 hours with the case
Charging	USB Type-C, Qi wireless
Codecs	AAC, SBC
Water resistance	None
Colors	Black, Beige

Sony’s WF-1000XM3 earbuds can last up to 6 hours on a single charge with ANC on, and the earbuds’ case can push that to 24 hours. While you can plug in the case with a USB Type-C cable, you can’t wirelessly charge them (so no reverse charging from your Galaxy S21). There’s also no water resistance at all, so the earbuds aren’t ideal for working out or walking outside in the rain. The microphone performance also leaves a lot to be desired.

Sony WF-1000XM3

These are fantastic wireless earbuds for any phone, not just the Galaxy S21, with robust ANC support and fantastic sound quality. However, they are expensive and don't have wireless charging or any water resistance.

Buy at Amazon

Mobvoi TicPods 2 Pro+

If you want AirPods-style earbuds that work better with Android devices, including the Galaxy S21 series, the Mobvoi TicPods 2 Pro+ is one of the best options. It has a design similar to AirPods, but the case charges with USB Type-C, and all features are available on both Android and iOS.

Specification	Mobvoi TicPods 2 Pro+
Battery life	Around 4 hours, 204 hours with the case
Charging	USB Type-C
Codecs	Qualcomm aptX, AAC, SBC
Water resistance	None
Colors	Ice, Navy

The TicPods are the only earbuds on this list that support Qualcomm’s aptX audio codec, which means you’ll get excellent wireless performance on any Android device using a Qualcomm chipset (including the Galaxy S21). They might be the best choice if you’re swapping between several different phones and tablets if most of them have Qualcomm hardware. However, the earbuds don’t have ANC or wireless charging.

TicPods 2 Pro+

These earbuds closely match the design of Apple's AirPods, but can charge over USB Type-C and support Qualcomm's aptX audio codec.

Descendant XI offers a fresh take on Android 11 with loads of unique features

At XDA, we pride ourselves on the power of the modding community in providing choices — choices that accommodate the wide variety of needs from different users. One of the common products of this choice is the availability of AOSP-based custom ROMs for devices that run on an otherwise heavily customized UI. In fact, many older Android smartphones are kept alive by custom ROMs, sometimes years after devices were abandoned by the device maker.

Speaking of custom ROMs, LineageOS may be the most popular one out there, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t also other well-liked aftermarket builds. Descendant, for example, has carved out its own following in the custom ROM scene. Originally distributed as a Generic System Image (GSI), the ROM has greatly expanded and is now known for offering innovative features on top of the vanilla Android experience. For example, some of the unique features touted by the development team include:

• Emergency mode.
  • The feature, assuming it has been set up with the needed info, will send over your location to chosen contacts to alert them that you’re in danger. If the person that needs aid moves and their GPS coordinates change, another message will be sent with the newly acquired position to the chosen contacts. If the emergency gets dismissed by user interaction, another message will be sent over, communicating that the emergency condition has ceased.
  • It’s accessible from the Lockscreen Minus One page and from Settings -> Descendant Health (for setup purposes).

• Lockscreen Minus One Page.
  • It features a clock, a weather widget, and three toggles. One of them is the Emergency Mode, the other one is Torch, and the last one is Do Not Disturb.
  • It’s accessible from the lockscreen with a left-to-right swipe.

• Extremely Secure Keyguard.
  • It’s a feature that prevents any kind of interaction over the Quick Settings Panel/Tiles/Notification when locked. Essentially, it prevents the Quick Settings from scrolling down, prevents tapping on tiles, etc. so third parties can’t toggle settings without your consent.
  • It’s accessible under Settings -> Security -> Extremely secure keyguard.
• UI Overhaul.
  • Descendant XI offers a full-fledged UI overhaul, with plenty of custom animations not seen in other custom ROMs.
• Custom ringtones.
  • All made by the developers, plus this year featuring licensed music from Emmanuel Nwamadi (The Voice UK participant).
• Health
  • It includes a built-in COVID-19 tracker so you can check the stats as soon as you open the subfragment in settings.

The developer behind the Descendant project, XDA Senior Member Dil3mm4, has been quite busy these last few months. We’ve seen a huge uptick in activity within the ROM website as well as in the forums here at XDA, and for good reason. It was only January when the Descendant codebase was made open source after being rebased on top of Android 11. Now, the developer has announced the March 2021 release of Descendant XI with a plethora of new features.

Here’s the full changelog introduced by the Descendant XI’s March 2021 update:

Descendant XI March 2021 Changelog

• UI Changes:
  • Changed Weather icon set
  • Brightness bar has been rounded a bit more on top left/right corners
  • Pattern/Pin/Password will blur when spawned
  • Reworked Weather Widget UI (after tapping on the weather in QS)
  • Replaced Josefin Sans font with RedHat one
  • Lockscreen Minus One Page (follows up)
• Fixes:
  • Fixed up an issue with weather metrics
• Features:
  • QS Compact Layout
    • A smaller layout for QS header, can be activated from Settings -> Display -> QS Compact Layout
  • Extremely Secure Keyguard

  • Lockscreen Minus One Page Lock
    • This option, accessible from Settings -> Security -> Lockscreen Minus One Page, denies/enables the gesture to open the Lockscreen Minus One page on a secured lockscreen
  • Face Unlock now is capable of unlocking apps that need biometrics verification.
  • Lockscreen Minus One Page
    • This page is accessible from lockscreen, swiping from left to right and dismissible swiping from right to left or from bottom to top.
    • It has three quick options on the bottom: Emergency Mode, Torch, DND
      • Emergency Mode is an emergency feature that will keep your screen-on unless dismissed.
      • While keeping your screen on, there will be multiple informations on screen:
        • Blinking help request on top (that will change language on every blink)
        • Name and Surname
        • Blood Type
        • Address
        • Pre-exist medical conditions
      • It will also send message(s) to the contact(s) of your choosing, with your current position (if available), communicating that you need help.
      • If your position changes meanwhile the emergency is still on-going, further messages will be sent communicating the change of your position.
      • Emergency mode needs setuping.
      • It’s accessible by Settings -> Descendant Health -> Medical Infos or by the alert that pops-out when trying to trigger Emergency Mode from Lockscreen Minus One Page.
      • Beware that the emergency number(s) you will setup has/have to be a mobile so that SMS can be sent.
      • Also please note that this is a feature in beta and doesn’t want to replace any medical equipment.
    • The torch toggle, will trigger torch on and off.
    • Same for DND toggle, will trigger DND mode on and off.

In addition to the above, here’s a summary of new features added in Descendant XI updates over the past few months:

OPPO Reno 2 Z and OPPO A91 start receiving stable ColorOS 11 update with Android 11

OPPO’s ColorOS 11 update train has now reached the Reno 2 Z and OPPO A91. Both phones have started receiving the stable ColorOS 11 update based on Android 11. This is in line with the update timeframe shared by OPPO earlier this week, which said the stable update rollout for both devices was just around the corner.

The stable ColorOS 11 update has gone live for Reno 2 Z users in India. This long-awaited update has been under beta testing since last month, but it’s only now that the company is making it available to the public at large. If you haven’t yet received an OTA notification on your Reno 2 Z, you can also trigger it manually. To do so, head to Settings > Software Updates > click on the gear icon in the top right corner > tap “Official Version Application” and then click on the “Apply now”. You should receive the new update shortly after.

Meanwhile, the OPPO A91 in Indonesia is also receiving the stable ColorOS 11 update. The update should be rolling out in batches over the new few days, but if you don’t want to wait, OPPO’s official announcement post recommends going through the above steps to instantly receive the update.

After installing the latest update, OPPO Reno 2 Z and A91 owners can look forward to all the latest Android 11 and ColorOS 11 features, including Chat Bubbles, one-time permission for the camera and microphone, new dark mode, improvements to Always on Display, Flex Drop, Super Power Saving Mode, and much more. You can learn about all the new features in ColorOS 11 in our full review.

OPPO  has been doing a rather good job rolling out Android 11 to its portfolio. The company has already updated many of its premium and mid-range smartphones to the latest version and will be expanding the rollout to more devices. In the coming weeks, OPPO plans to open up ColorOS 11 beta for the OPPO Reno Z, A5, 2020, A9 2020, A73 5G, and A53.

Some Google Pixel users face issues with HD Netflix playback after recent updates

Update 1 (04/09/2021 @ 05:50 PM ET): Google has confirmed that it is aware of the issue and is actively working on a fix for affected Pixel users. Click here for more information. The article, as published on April 6, 2021, is preserved below.

Following recent updates, many Google Pixel phone owners are reporting issues with the Widevine level downgrading to L3 from L1, resulting in DRM-protected content not playing in HD resolution. For instance, Netflix is now capped at 540p.

Multiple users reached out to us complaining about the issue. Tipsters argruar, HydroPetro, and MSFJarvis on Telegram have said they experienced the issue on the Pixel 4a and Pixel 5. Tipster Devang Chhabria linked a Reddit thread with some Pixel 4a, Pixel 4, and Pixel 5 users reporting the same issue.

Meanwhile, a support thread on the Pixel forums features users complaining about the issue. We looked back a few months on Reddit and actually discovered people have been experiencing the issues with HD Netflix playback for a while. Some users have said they’ve encountered the issue after the April 2021 update, while others are reporting the issue has been happening for months.

When a phone is downgraded to Widevine L3, the DRM-encrypted content is no longer decoded in the Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). In most cases, Widevine-protected content will then only play in 480p, which isn’t the most ideal scenario when streaming content.

In order to check the Widevine DRM level, you can follow this guide. As we reported, most premium Android devices that are certified by Google support Widevine L1, sometimes in combination with other DRM methods. Modified phones or uncertified phones, however, may only support L3 or L2. Software updates can also cause Widevine DRM to revert to L2 or L3.

A service like Netflix has certified all Pixel devices for HD, which is Widevine L1, and the Pixel 3 and up are also certified for HDR. It’s unclear what’s causing the issue, and users don’t appear to be getting any concrete answers from Google, whether that includes a future software fix or something the users can do.

Not every owner has encountered the issue. In the same support forums, some Pixel 4a and Pixel 5 owners claim they’re still on L1, so it isn’t affecting everyone. But why some people are encountering the issue and some don’t remain unclear.

---

Update 1: Google is aware and working on a fix for Pixel phones

Google has confirmed to Android Police that it is aware of users reporting issues with the Widevine DRM level downgrading to L3. The company is actively working on a solution for affected Pixel phones but did not provide an exact schedule for when a fix will be made available. Apparently, the problem may also affect phones from other manufacturers, so it may be more widespread than expected.
