[Q] Screen Calibration - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Just a quick question, my phones not rooted but before the 2.3.6 update wasn't there 2 options on the display setting to calibrate the screen? I only just see one now which is gyroscope calibration but I can't remember what the other one was. Was this option changed with the latest update?

There was no screen calibration options as im running Jugg 3.7 and i remember stock had nothing like that. Maybe you dreamed your phone changed to an I9100?

No, there was 2 options in 2.3.5 stock. Maybe not juggs though but i dont remember that 2nd option though.. 2.3.6 only has 1 now..

You don't need screen calibration. Its already calibrated. If you want to see uncalibrated go find epic 4G with a fresh ROM install. You'd have to go through terminal to fix it. If you didn't it would take 5 seconds for the screen to change!

I prefer 160 but I'd suggest starting at 200 and then work your way down if you want.

Use rom toolbox, I've never had issues changing LCD density from there. Just click the performance tab at the top, then build.prop tweaks, then LCD density.
Edit: Actually you can change it under rom control settings since its AOKP. I think its under general UI settings.

170 is the perfect dpi IMO. It doesn't have any notification layout problems which bugged me, google music is in phone layout and just seems to be the right one all around. Try it out let me know if you like it.

Frankenstein's Ego has phenomenal stand by life. I don't use my phone that much, mostly just some texts, emails, hour of music, a call here or there, and maybe up to 20 minutes of Angry Birds or Temple Run. On a low usage day I think I went to be with somewhere around 82% (7am-10pm).
The problem low dpi u run into errors in market. I went from 240 which is stock to 200 and some of the apps no longer became available. Market is detecting it as a perhaps tablet. When I moved it back it was available again so its a trade off

Is there a program like CPU Sleeper but for 4G DATA instead?

Hey,
Just installed CPU Sleeper to kill off my second core when the screen is off.
Is there another program that will kill data connection when the screen is off, and only turn it on when i turn on my screen?
Would save ALOT of battery I imagine!
In AOKP, there is an option to switch to 2G when the screen is off. This works well, but the only drawback in my opinion is that it is a little slow to return to 4G.

I use the 2x battery app and it works great! It was a free download from the Play store as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739530
This does what aokp does but as a stand alone app. Read op instructors install the apk or flash the zip doesn't matter. When screen off, you can opt to go to 2g and with a ton of options like not down shift if network is being used (phone call, downloading a big app).
On top of that you can choose to re enable 4G with a notification message manually as well as automatically. as sometimes when you screen on your phone only to check text or gtalk, aokp would swap back to 4G immediately and back to 2G when the screen goes off, killing a lot of battery in the process actually.
This app is seriously badass.

Camera and Gallery from 4.2

This was posted up for the GNex guys but I figured everyone with a rooted phone would appreciate it. Everything works except photosphere, and I must say the new way of accessing options is on the fly fast. This is s great improvement. Enjoy!

Working photosphere
I haven't tested yet, but im about to flash it
edit: ok it works if you make the edits to the build.prop as mentioned in that thread. Thing is i think the sensors might be a little screwy on our phone. I'm running paranoid 2.5 and its a little off. Don't know if its the rom but its off
Everything else works great though
I edited my build.prop and flashed this, it looks like a great idea but it doesn't seem to like the gyroscope in the E4GT very well. Everything is backwards.

I flashed the patched version (works on any phone with a gyro without editing build.prop) from Android Police. http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...gallery-app-with-new-ui-editing-photo-sphere/
It works fine, and the panorama mode loads and starts to work. However, my gyro is all over the place. left is up, right is diagonally off somewhere, etc etc. I wonder if this is unique. Did / can someone try it out and see if the gyro works right on our device?
So is this worth installing?

I had a camera like this previously is a short lived flash, can't remember what ROM. But it had no issues. Can the gyroscope be corrected?

Yep, same problem here. Up is left and down is right, left is up and right is down. It's like it uses portrait movements when in landscape mode, etc.

No. Don't worry, its safe to flash. Its just that when you edit your build.prop the xda app picks that up and puts it in your sig lol I don't have a gNex lol

Oh ok haha thanks! Interesting that it did that
Every app reads the build.prop to see what the model is. Since we changed it to say Galaxy Nexus instead of SPH-D710, the XDA app reads the phone as a Nexus. Not very complicated at all.

Is anyone having issues with the camcorder with the new camera app? It only allows me to record in 420 but it records all distorted
Just want to let everyone know that I am getting much better response from photosphere on CM10 Beta 2.
I went into advanced and enabled calibration data then sat my phone on the floor and calibrated.
I will try a picture with photosphere after the sun comes up and I can actually see something.

Has anyone found a fix for their screen staying on?

I know its been reported with jelly bean that the screen is unable to turn off normally and you have to push the power button to turn it off. Currently the only fix I know of is a reboot. Anyone with any other tips??
Mine works fine, did you flash any mods or some kind of lock screen app?

I'm having the same problem
I am not rooted and running stock jelly bean (ota version that I installed early because I was too impatient for them to push it to my phone). I have noticed my screen randomly staying on, too. It's very annoying because sometimes I don't notice until my battery is dead. A reboot fixes it temporarily, but I'd love a permanent fix if anyone has any additional ideas! Thanks! I've tried all the obvious settings, but can't figure it out. Is there an app that can help me figure out what the culprit might be?
(And can I just say, an edit to a post ought not fall under the "wait five minute" rule for new posters. Just my two cents .)

The multi-window tab has always been movable... So that doesn't count
I was hoping for more changes though. Hopefully the next update will do more. I have noticed everything is faster/more stable, but could be a figment of my imagination

Yes. You have to unroot and flash update zip in stock recovery. If you rooted like I did b4 ljc ota when you unroot to lj1 check system update and it should auto update via notification to ljc ota. Then you can flash the update zip via stock recovery.
