LCD Calibration (Nova color fix)

Not sure if this is common knowledge, but Storm over on the Nexus board built a color calibrator program that does a great job fixing color balance problems (I'm looking at you Nova LCD).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745248
I am successfully using the cyanogen nightly apk version to correct the blue/purple hue on my nova. It took a little messing around and I do not have a color meter, but I ended up getting results that look great (used my macbook LCD which is color calibrated as the target).
Every LCD is different, but my settings are 919 red/ 905 green / 722 blue.

im about to try this out myself. so i flash to install this???
which one did you install?

If you have CM6, it's already installed... Just go to Settings -> Cyogenmod Settings -> Display -> Render UI, and choose one of the last 3.
Otherwise, flash the Universal APK from that thread-- it worked for my on BakedSnack and Fresh. Don't forget in any case to install the Calibrator APK... it allows you to manually tweak the settings, and also ensures that any settings you choose will be re-applied at bootup.

Well as I don't have cm6, it seems the sense version might be incompatible. I flashed the version sense (desire) and installed the apk. Upon changing any of the sliders results in a fc.
For now I think this calibration is limited to cm6; unless I just screwed something up and somebody else can get it to work. I'm going to try and use the universal install next and see if that'll get it to work. If it doesn't then us sense users are sol.

I had thought i had said if you don't have CM6, then try flashing the Universal version, not the Sense one-- the sense one seems limited to a specific ROM for the Desire. I had no issues flashing the Universal one on BakedSnack and Fresh, which both still have Sense.

Apk
One thing to note for CM6 users - the apk file allows you to tweak the 3 color bands to any setting you want, rather than just the 3 presets provided in the Cyanogen render effect menu. I was getting too much yellow in all of the N1 presets and was able to get good whites with the sliders.
I'm not sure how to run this on sense. Why would anyone want to use sense? I'm in a fast 4g area and I still cant stand it.

for stock with root ota 2.2 version .28 odex, use universal zip.

You flash the zip file just like you would anything else-- there's really not much to it.
You don't mention what ROM/Kernel you are running... that might help.

If you stick with 1000s for all 3 values, you might as well as not have the APK installed at all, IMO.
The settings you want to use may vary slightly based on your current lighting conditions and the brightness. On my settings, the screen is tiny,tiny bit dimmer-- but that is only because the blacks and greys become true blacks and greys and not dark purple and lilac. At the bare minimu, leave your red and green at 1000 and push the blue down until your greys are true greys....

[Q] Help with bootanimation

I am failing at making a bootanimation.zip and I am not sure why. Anyone experienced want to take a look at my file and give me a hint as to why this doesn't work? It gets rid of the default Android, but just displays a black screen until the homescreen shows up.

Did I stump everybody? I figured I was just missing something silly like the picture files need to be in 7.5 bit format or something.

You must save the zip as an uncompressed zip file. Compression level should be set to storage mode.

That I am doing. Though I have noticed that sometimes "store" in WinRar compresses by just a few bytes. I made one that was completely not compressed (byte match for stored size versus on drive size). Still not working, so I've ruled that out as being the issue.
I'm attaching a version created by the tool in the link above. It still doesn't work. I have no clue why... still looking for hints.

That looks like it'd be a cool animation. I'll mess with it later when I get home. But at first glance comparing it to other animations I have that work, they are either greyscale or RGB jpgs @ 72dpi. Yours are indexed pngs @ 300dpi. That link says png should be ok, but it says to use RGB. Maybe you could try that next.

Here you go. I converted the images to 72dpi RGB jpgs. I'll still probably try again leaving them as 72dpi RGB pngs, but these animations work now.
I included your original 30fps version, but also slowed it down a bit. I think the 12fps looks good, but unless you have just wiped your dalvik cache, you might not have enough time to see very many blinks. The 21fps version isn't bad, but I think it's still a bit too fast. Tweak the speed to your preference.
These are not flashable, btw, so just copy over with root explorer or whatever.

Has to be renamed sanim.zip to work in GB.

How do you disable the crt animations on Calk's rom?

Hey all, the crt animations are just plain buggy. Is there any way to permanently disable and remove it when running calks rom?
I know how to disable it via settings and display settings under turn off all animations but I want all animations minus the crt?
Thanks in advance you all.

I tried this method and it worked but now I just flashed a all in one theme for hotspot fix and rotational lag and it is showing crt again. Does anyone have a permanent disable or fix for this? To me the crt is extremely buggy and inefficient to use as it wastes my time. The wake is already slow as is I don't need to wait for the extra delay.

If you know how to decompile your framwork-res.apk file with apktool, you can disable.
Change "<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">false</bool>" to "<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">true</bool>"
Don't do that if you don't know how or haven't done a backup though. You'll get bootloop if you mess it up.

Hi - Any other way than spare parts to disable this? I'm not familier with the APK tool. I can look into if I need be, but if there is a more straight forward way.....

EpicAOSP ROM, AIO Mod

i beleive the most recent 2 new ROM versions have it disabled by default. but there is a zip somewhere in E4GT forums that allos you to disable. i'd do a search for that if you dont want to flash a new ROM.

do people really like it that much that it has to be included on every ROM? I was always kind of indifferent to it

Im with the OP. I cannot stand the CRT annimation. It was cool at first. For the first week or so, but now its just old. I don't get why all roms include it now. Is there a .ZIP that could be flashed or any other methods to remove (that dont risk bootloading)

The action is in the one of the xml files within your framework-res.apk. Now there seems to be work arounds but to to fix it you have to decompile the file and change the setting. Its honestly not a big deal to do and you may learn something along the way.
I believe these developers do a lot for us and certain small things like this we should all try and learn so we can help ourselves and not have to bother them.. IMHO

[DEV] Rotating capacitive buttons for ICS and other builds

Credits goes to st.matt, he gets full credit for the programming. He seemed a little busy, so I thought I'd spread the news so you guys can implement into your builds.
st.matt said:
Also just a run-down of how it works for anyone that is interested:
I use three different elements to get it working. Firstly, I use a small addition to surfaceflinger to set a system property (sys.orientation.landscape) to 1 when it is in landscape mode (either 90 or 270 degrees rotation) and 0 when it is in portrait mode (0 degrees rotation).
When this is set an init service will start depending on the value of sys.orientation.landscape, which in turn starts a script (/system/etc/rotate_lights.sh) which takes the brightness value from the expected led class (ie. if it's changing to landscape it will look at /sys/class/leds/button-backlight-portrait/brightness) and then set this to the new orientation's led class.
The third part is a small modification to the lights lib which also checks that system property when making changes to the button backlight brightness so that it sets it to the correct class.

The necessary files/code are on Virtuous' ICS vivo repository: https://github.com/vivo-ICS/android_device_htc_vivo, and you will also need the patched proprietary libsurfaceflinger.so that references to the changes.

made a CM7.2 kang for you Inc2 users.
All I did was put in the latest commits as of March 03 2012 and added the rotating softkeys. I can't really test it because I don't have an Inc2, so back up your data in case you are not sure if it will work.
You can flash this without wiping if you are on 7.x already.
For the IncS, I know the rotating buttons for them are not perfect. Sometimes you have to toggle the brightness to get it working. Other times it might take a few seconds to rotate instead of immediately. This is because this script was originally written for ICS roms in mind, but it's backwards compatible with GB.

its different for miui, because we dont build it from source and cant cherry pick commits
miui is more like a sense rom port that uses cm9 or another aosp rom as a "base"
any significant changes have to be done in smali, which is more involved than java source....i k nowwhat has to be changed (or at least part of it) and where for rotating buttons in miui by diffing the builds from aerovan before and after it was implemented but it was a no go on my part...and didnt seem worth the effort to keep pursuing it atm

I tried this yesterday. My phone wouldn't get past the HTC boot screen. I ended up having to pull the battery and reflash my current ROM.

Hmm, well I guess that didn't work. If you push /system/lib/libsurfaceflinger.so from an earlier working build you should probably be able to boot.
I just copied the file over from the vivo build which seems that it doesn't work with the vivow.
Guess the vivow surfaceflinger is done differently.

Just tried a flash over but didnt work for me. I guess I can always try a wipe and install.

This wouldn't be hard to add to Miui -- as long as they have no weird additions to libsurfaceflinger. You just need the patched liblights, patched libsurfaceflinger (built for CM), script in /system/etc and changes to init.vivo.rc (or init.vivow.rc for Inc2).
Requires no changes to smali or framework.
The other thing is that if someone wants to clean it up and submit it to CM then the MIUI team will pick it up themselves (someone already did this but didn't seem to have to skill / couldn't be bothered to clean it up to their standards and also didn't really submit it correctly).
I would do this but I don't really have the time these days.
Also: I suspect the problem with the lights not working sometimes could be solved just by adding the conditional I have that checks first to see if the brightness is zero to both orientations (in rotate_lights.sh). I will have a quick look at this soon.

just wanted to share a slight modification in the script. When the brightness level is set to the least the leds turn off completely. The attached script makes sure the leds do not turn off completely at this instance. Unzip the file and replace the file in your /etc/ folder. You may want to make a backup of your existing rotate_lights.sh just in case. Ensure the permissions on the file are the same as before after copying.
Just realized that the settings work only the first time when the phone is rotated. I guess I need a better fix. Sorry, remove the attachment as it has undesired issues. Fix No damn good.

[MOD] Disable low battery, battery temperature pop-ups and full battery notification

The reason for this little hack is the fact those 2 pop-ups can become an extreme double-annoyance while driving in hot weather. Imagine, your battery is below 15%, yet scorching hot, beyond the charging cut-off threshold. Connect a charger and you get bombarded with the "charging paused, battery temperature too high" pop-ups. Disconnect it and you get a low battery ones. This little patch deals with the issue by simply disabling the annoying pop-ups. It also disables the annoying battery full notification.
Please note, this doesn't modify any functionality, it just disables the pop-ups. The battery will not and should not charge when overheated.
Instructions:
Download and unpack "BatteryPatch.zip", you should now have "Patch.js" jscript along with the "utils" directory.
Fetch your "/system/app/SystemUI.apk" from the device, place it in the same directory, along with the "Patch.js".
Apply the patch by launching "Patch.js" and push the patched SystemUI.apk back to the device.
Updates:
Not every ROM seems to have the battery full notification and/or battery overheating popup. Patching those is now optional, the script will show a warning in case it fails to patch those instead of erroring out completely.
There are some ROMs out there with showLowBatteryWarning method looking somewhat different from what i've seen on my S3. In order to try & let the patch work on more ROMs, the showLowBatteryWarning method is now being bypassed entirely. Hopefully, no ROM does anything important inside that method, besides showing the annoying low battery popups. In any case, as usual, you use the patch - you take the risk.
PS: For those willing and able to apply the patch manually, download the second zip and do a 3 way merge.

Thanks. Temp warning should not be there any longer, too. But the rest of them (bad charger, overcurrent, stuff like that) are still there, i don't think killing those is a good idea.
The reason i did this was primarily the temperature warning. I've been looking all over the forum on how to disable it, but couldn't find any info, so i though, "what the hell, i can find it myself, it's not such a big deal"... during the search i've noticed the low bat one, too, and though "hmm, i hate that one too, lets kill it as well".
Thats about it.

Just patched and tested the full battery notification as well, first post updated.

Lovely, gonna test this when I get home
Thanks for the update

sorry to sound like a total noob, but im completely new to apktool. was reading up on it and trying it, but im slightly confused. what options do you chose exactly when decompiling? i couldnt find the power smali file after decompiling

There are plenty of explanations/tutorials on this around the forum. About not having the smali after decompiling... any chance your rom is odexed? In this case you wont be getting any smali files, cause all the code is in the odex file, not the apk. You will have to deodex it in this case and, possibly, reodex it before placing it back on the device (not sure about it, specifically i am unsure how the odex dependecies work).
Sadly, i cannot provide a ready to use apk, there are too many versions being in use, especially considering the 15 toggles mod, the battery icon mod as well as many other visual mods also patch stuff inside this apk, increasing the number of variations even further. So, sorry, no ready to use apk.

Nope, and it is extremely hard to make. In fact, impossible, with the currently available CWM tools, as far as i know. It would be "for ROM version <insert_version_here> with 15 toggles and circle battery", "for ROM version <insert_version_here> without 15 toggles and green battery" etc etc etc kind of variations, and as i already mentioned, i doubt this is a viable option.
Anyone can prove me wrong and provide a way of writing a CWM script that would decompile (deodex if needed) an existing apk, apply a patch, recompile it and than replace it ? Out of all the things needed, i only know how to do the "replacing" part

Can i ask a massive favour?

Seriously, though... is it possible to baksmali in recovery mode somehow ? Can one run patch, sed and similar utilities there ? If yes, can i see an example ? Cause if that's possible, it can make a "flashable zip" for stuff like that possible.

hmm, so if i have these files in my app folder:
systemui.apk
systemui.odex
I cannot just add/replace the code as described?

You can deodex, patch the smali while having it handy during deodexing, and, possibly, reodex it back into an odex file and replace just the odex. Never did it myself, though. I find odexed roms to be too much of a hassle while modding stuff to use those.

Is it ok if i ask help too?

GalaxyS3man, your apk is NOT odexed. Took me barely 2 minutes to apply the patch. Here we go...
PS: TBH, i've been under impression people on XDA are perfectly familiar applying and/or finding out this kind of stuff, really
