anyone tried the GCAM (without root) ? Im not a selfie fan...but still, its tempting me..lol...the lowlight looks better on GCAM, the HDR+ and so on....I sometime take pic here and there (again..not selfie fan), ofcourse with the back camera mostly..is it worth it to try it out?

Or should I wait for Xiaomi itself released a statement "GCAM can now be install on Miawan..EIS now enabled and blabla". sweat.gif

I've always been an iPhone guy, bro, ha ha. Was using a 8 Plus before I tried the Mi A1 and just recently bought an X so was using the Mi A1 as a secondary phone, and I like to change my secondary phones biggrin.gif

Edit: Noticed quite a number of listings for the Mi A1 liow. Everyone got bored of it at the same time? biggrin.gif

What a coincidence. I'm an iPhone user also using X and Android as my secondary phone. I'm used to Apple eco system.

Ya bro, same here. “Trapped” in Apple’s ecosystem since iPhone 4 laugh.gif

I used the Mi A1 when I was waiting for a good deal to buy the X, and it was my first experience using a pure vanilla Android phone after various experiences with Samsung, Huawei, and even HTC. The Mi A1 seriously impressed me with what it offered at its price point thumbup.gif

Most of Xiaomi phone models having GPS but that's because it's using MIUI. The Mi A1 using pure stock Android and I don't see why anyone having any GPS issue unless they are getting crappy network especially near remote or closed area. cool2.gif

Google removes ‘view image’ button from search results to make pics harder to steal

user posted image

Google is making a change to image search today that sounds small but will have a big impact: it’s removing the “view image” button that appeared when you clicked on a picture, which allowed you to open the image alone. The button was extremely useful for users, since when you’re searching for a picture, there’s a very good chance that you want to take it and use it for something. Now, you’ll have to take additional steps to save an image.

The change is essentially meant to frustrate users. Google has long been under fire from photographers and publishers who felt that image search allowed people to steal their pictures, and the removal of the view image button is one of many changes being made in response. A deal to show copyright information and improve attribution of Getty photos was announced last week and included these changes.

The intention seems to be either stopping people from taking an image altogether or driving them through to the website where the image is found, so that the website can serve ads and get revenue and so people are more likely to see any associated copyright information. That’s great news for publishers, but it’s an annoying additional step for someone trying to find a picture. Now you’ll have to wait for a website to load and then scroll through it to find the image. Websites sometimes disable the ability to right click, too, which would make it even harder for someone to grab a photo they’re looking for.

Click here

Fortunately, there’s still at least one way around it: if you right click, you can select “open image in new tab” or “view image” (or whatever your browser’s equivalent option is), and you’ll still open up the full-size picture. It’s just a bit less likely that everyone will realize this is an option. And since the “visit” site button is now the most visible button, that’s probably what’ll end up getting clicked the .most

In addition to removing the “view image” button, Google has also removed the “search by image” button that appeared when you opened up a photo, too. This change isn’t quite as big, however. You’ll still be able to do a reverse image search by dragging the image to the search bar, and Google will still display related images when you click on a search result. The button may have been used by people to find un-watermarked versions of images they were interested in, which is likely part of why Google pulled it.

While it’s good to see Google protecting photographers and driving traffic to websites, it’s still hard not to be a little annoyed by the changes. There are plenty of legitimate and legal uses for copyrighted images. And while it’s fair to ask users to do their due diligence by making sure they’re properly attributing photos, these changes really seem designed to stop images from being grabbed in the first place.

DAMN IT! vmad.gif

This is why I always open image in new tab.

Worse come to worst, just screencap the image.

Ya, pure Android on Mi A1 is really nifty, gets the job done for the price you pay. My only complaint is that the dual lens camera is average at best.

Upgraded mine to January Oreo. Rooted with Magisk and using Gravitybox for Oreo.

Patched for the camera lag due ti SELinux, the proper way is to keep SELinux Enforcing instead of merely Permissive.

Maybe the best case for A1,so far. Bought from Taobao,brand 'Fat Bear Digital',a tactical rugged case. Not as good as Otterbox Defender,but boleh tahan lah ~ brows.gif

Trying to migrate from Lenovo P2 to Mi A1. Put in my memory card, it says unsupported SanDisk card and need to format. This is more hassle than I thought. Never had that happen before when I swapped phones here and there.
