This page contains binary image files that allow you to restore your Nexusor Pixel device's original factory firmware. You will find these files usefulif you have flashed custom builds on your device, and wish to return yourdevice to its factory state.
These files are for use only on your personal Nexus or Pixel devices and maynot be disassembled, decompiled, reverse engineered, modified or redistributedby you or used in any way except as specifically set forth in the licenseterms that came with your device.
After taking an Android 13 update and successfully booting the device postupdate, an Android 12 build resides in the inactive slot (seamless updatesfor more information on slots) of the device. The inactive slot contains anolder bootloader whose anti-rollback version has not been incremented.If the active slot is then flashed with a build that fails to boot, thefallback mechanism of seamless updates kicks in and the device tries toboot from the inactive slot. Since the inactive slot contains the olderbootloader, the device enters an unbootable state.
To avoid hitting this state, if you are flashing a Pixel 6, Pixel 6a, orPixel 6 Pro device with an Android 13 build for the first time, pleaseflash the bootloader partition to the inactive slot after successfullyupdating and booting into Android 13 at least once. This can be done byfollowing these steps:
Option 1 (recommended):After a successful boot into Android 13 for the first time, sideload thefull OTA image corresponding tothat build and reboot the device to ensure that both slots have a bootableimage.
Extract the contents of the factory ROM .zip file, identify thebootloader image in the extracted files, and follow the sequence of eventsas listed below to flash the bootloader to both the slots. Substitute thename of the bootloader image with that of your device for the Pixel 6 andPixel 6a.
Flash the Android 13 bootloader to the inactive slot. The following commandis specific to a particular build of a Pixel 6 Pro device. Substitute thename of the bootloader image determined in the first step above, ifdifferent, for the image file name argument.
After flashing the inactive slot bootloader to an Android 13 bootloader,reboot to that slot to ensure that the bootloader will be marked asbootable. Important: Please run the exact sequence of commands as listedbelow. Don't forget to enter the full line fastboot reboot bootloader whenrebooting. Failure to do so may leave your device in an unbootable state.

I am making a simple application that acts as a flashlight. I need to be able to turn on and off the flash from a button in the application with the Camera2 API, as I get errors with the old camera API. I would like to use a "torch" flashlight, where the camera doesn't have to open in order for the flash to turn on. I know it's possible, as lots of phones have a flash on/off in the quick settings menu, but I can't find any code or tutorials about how to do this.
mCameraId will preferably turn on front camera flash by priority and if there is no front flash then back camera flash will be used. If device has no flash then mCameraId will be null and setTorchMode will not be called in the code above.
You are limited but terrible sync speed. A constant light would probably be a better bet for posed photographs - a strong torch and pop-up softbox thing.
Goddox do a phone flash but no idea how it is in use at what ever sync speed is 1/30 etc
I thought about it - decided to just get a cheap old point & shoot and a USC- SD card reader to import to phone & edit in snapseed.
saw this thread. I am using the cpflash and i found it perfect for my needs specially since i no longer use my trusty old dslr because of my scoliosis. doctors no longer allow me to carry more than 20 lbs.
Its power is approximately the same as my Canon 580EX speedlite. Just like a speedlight it will struggle under direct bright sun not unless you bring your fill in flash much closer. But under shadow or indoors you would barely need more than 20% flash power.
here is a sample shot I did with a model almost a year back. If you have questions or need more photos I will be very happy to oblige.
BTW the CPFLASH because it is a short burst (500MS) of intense LED light with allow your Smartphone to synch at any shutter speed. I have tested it at shutter speeds of 1/1200 or a second or faster. It works with my DSLR too but that is not important to me as I no longer use my DSLR. I am purely a smartphone guy now.
You are welcome Kumsa,
I haven't had the time to shoot for the last 8 months, unlike last year when we had nothing to do in the office, now its very different we have been so busy.
I love photography , for the last 40 years it has been my hobby and I love Off Camera Flash photography, Now that I can only use my smartphone because of my medical problem , I don't want to sacrifice my shooting output. And honestly the CPFlash fit my needs perfectly. I am achieving excellent photos (my personal opinion) just like my DSLR Days and I have printed them A3+ (13"X19") and smartphones do deliver.
Here are some more shots just to show the capability of the CPFlash 550W. BTW all the shots were only very slightly edited.
The Lumix S9 is Panasonic's newest full-frame mirrorless camera. It allows users to create their own custom looks for out-of-camera colors and is the first full-frame Lumix camera aimed squarely at social media content creators.
The Sony a9 III is the world's first full-frame mirrorless camera to feature a global electronic shutter with simultaneous readout. After extensive testing of this 120 fps sports camera, to see what you gain (and, perhaps, lose).
The Fujifilm X100VI is the sixth iteration of Fujifilm's classically-styled large sensor compact. A 40MP X-Trans sensor, in-body stabilization and 6.2K video are the major updates, but do they make the camera better?

It would be really awesome if you implemented some kind of flash player on the mobile Brave browser. There is a lot of video games, online casino games, and tons of other multimedia content that is only really available through a flash player enabled device. There are a few mobile browsers you can download that have this option usually when you toggle into desktop mode, but honestly those browsers are slow, choppy, unreliable, and overall rarely anyones first choice for your go to web browser. Brave could do the flash player integration properly and efficiently adding a very convenient and lacking element to the mobile browsing experience. If done the right way it would open up a whole lot of content that as of right now is only really accessible on a desktop computer or laptop and I know that is a high enough demand for flash player utilization through mobile devices be it smartphones or tablet. There gap keeps getting smaller between mobile devices and desktop or laptop computers and this is one of the functions that still separates the two. Offering an option for another multimedia player in a seamless operating version of a flash player that if used saw no decrease in browser functionality and didnt drop your connection from the server would add a very enticing aspect to Brave that essentially no other mobile browser offers at least on a legitimate capacity. I do almost all my browsing through mobile devices and run into a issue with needing flash player on a mobile browser very frequently and would love to see that get added to Brave.
Do you know any way to change flash brightness entering some hidden settings (common settings do not have that option) or using another settings app or camera app? The phone is not rooted, but I accept solutions in this way.
Basically, the answer is No. The OS is limited to pretty much just FLASH_ON and FLASH_OFF. Though I have seen some flashlight/torch apps that have a 'turbo' mode that makes the LED even brighter (but that's not what you want and these types of apps usually require ROOT access).
Another workaround is to remove the back cover, put a small piece of tissue paper over the LED (make sure the paper is still big enough to be held in place with the back-cover back on) and put the cover back on.
after this i had found those command so i changed the u-boot.bin file for android 11 so i can flash the boot.img then fastboot the img the black screen after 2 day i tried to reback to the android PIE so i reflash the uboot.bin of android 9 then the led stops working
for allimentation i used the usb type C linked to my laptop i didnt ry any electronique stuff i thing still a problem of the android 11 software it self i dont know what iis the problem exactly but the thing that i am sure about is that i did everything correctly.
