[TOOLS] Screen ColourControl, Camera Enhancements, Screen Density, Boot Anim + MORE! - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

GALAXY NEXUS PHONE MODS
This is all part of the Galaxy Nexus ToolKit but I have made a new Thread for people who may not have noticed it, people who didnt need the ToolKit but may find some of the Mods useful or just people who want to talk about the Phone Mods specifically.
FUNCTIONS OF THE PHONE MODS SECTION
Change the Screen Density (DPI)
CWM Recovery, Only 1 No in the Confirmation Screen
Camera Sounds (Disable/Enable Camera Shutter, Video Camera Shutter, Focus)
Camera Enhancements (Increase Video Bitrate, Sound Bitrate, Photo Quality)
Change WiFi Scan Interval (Time between scanning for new Wifi Access Points)
Startup Boot Animation Screen (Disable/Enable which affects Boot Time)
Screen Colour Control (Change Gamma Offset and Colour Multiplier)
--------------------------------------------------------------
DOWNLOAD
The Phone Mods are part of the Galaxy Nexus ToolKit. You can download the latest version from there (no need to install drivers if you already have adb/fastboot drivers installed).

--------------------------------------------------------------
USAGE
STOCK ROM users will need to enter the Mods Section via the Galaxy Nexus ToolKit as most functions need an insecure boot image which is set up from the Model Selection Screen of the ToolKit. If you are running a CUSTOM ROM (with insecure boot image) then you can run the ModsSection.exe directly if you wish.
ALL Mods Section functions require you to be booted into Android and connected to the PC via usb with adb/fastboot drivers installed. If you havent done this already then refer to the Galaxy Nexus ToolKit Thread for setup instructions.
The Galaxy Nexus ToolKit and Mods Section are very tightly integrated and so is impossible to seperate the 2 parts unless I want to cut out Stock Rom users (which I dont) so please dont ask if I can split them up. I could but its just not worth it.
Lastly if you have any ideas for functions that can be added to the Mods Section or just want to discuss a particular function then feel free.

hmm... even after I did the one click method, its still giving me read only errors when trying to apply these mods.
edit: oh look, just say no and it seems to work. I'm an idiot ... carry on

Sorry kinda confused, what do i want to do if i just want to get he camera enhancements? im rooted and everything just need to know what to do for the camera enhancements.

1) download toolkit
2) Use option 11
3) Use option 19

Can you post individual files for certain mods, like for the camera? I'd rather have a flashable if possible.

You can find all the profiles for the camera in the mods folder of the ToolKit. If you dont want to install the ToolKit then the 3 profiles are in the attached zip.

The zip I attached just contains the profiles for the camera its not a cwm/twrp zippable file. You need to go through the mods menu to apply all mods for the phone.

Ok so what exactly are the 3 profiles? HQ I assume High Quality then there is MQ & x2.
So I can replace my media_profiles.xml with the HQ version after it's renamed to give me better quality?
Or just place them all in system/etc?

This does not work on the CDMA/LTE/Verizon Version, do NOT flash!
UPDATED FOR Ir8 DOWNLOAD BELOW
I realise there are a few of these floating around but this one is specifically for MCR and MCR derivatives. This will most likely work with other ROM's but I've not tested it so won't make that promise.
Features
Reboot from Power Menu
Reboot to recovery from Power Menu
Menu options in correct order
Shutdown/Reboot confirmation prompt removed
Auto backlight tweaks included (Paul's level 2)
MCR Ir8 framework optimisations included

Running this since seeing over on MoDaCo, but can also confirm your 'generic' APM worked fine on the MCR as well
Prefer the layout of this APM, though - good job!!
EDIT: You say it's 'Paul's level 2' - is this similar to your 'medium' level? Your level seemed to work better than Paul's but it could just be how I see it

Functionally I don't think there are any differences. At first glance though his options are in a strange order. Edit: and as you note he has multiple backlight options.
Perhaps the only other difference, and I can't confirm, is that I used the MCR framework as a base, not the stock framework. As a result this edition retains any optimisations Paul has made... although he isn't explicit about these.
Essentially I wanted it do it and assure compatibility with MCR. I didn't check first whether other version worked on MCR.
Thanks for this. Would it be possible to have a reboot to bootloader option as well & maybe brightness level 1?

Whilst it is possible I don't think I'll make multiple versions although there is another thread with different versions.
Hopefully Paul will consider building this functionality into the MCR kitchen so we'll have all the options!
Works perfect! Thanks

That doesn't surprise me so much... what ROM were you using?
I didn't even see a CDMA version of MCR...
Edit: first post updated to clarify.
There isn't an LTE version of the MCR
i flashed it in recovery mode, and it has been installed correctly... but when i turn off the phone, there are only the 3 default options (airplane, silent and turn off)... it is possible that the mod doesn't work with the stock rom?...
p.s. i have the stock rom, but i have root and superuser apk
You need to be deodexed to use this, so you'll need a custom ROM
now that I flashed it on the stock rom, but not work, it should not cause damage to the phone?
p.s. there is a way to add those two options in the menu' (on the stock rom with root)?
It shouldn't affect things, and no you can't add it to a stock ROM as you HAVE to be odexed to edit them (I could, of course, be wrong here)

I'm surprised your phone booted if it flashed successfully.
No, you'll need a custom rom (de-odexed as stated above) to do this.
last question:
if i press the 3 physical buttons the phone go in fastboot mod (after i can choose recovery mod)... there is a combination of the physical buttons to go directly in recovery mod?

if u r talking about this one:

then yes) i dont have this issue, or didn't notice before)
I believe he is talking about the modded product ID lines in the build.prop to make A500 games visable to us A100 users (for some reason a100 is not compatable with a bunch of games).

If you want to load games optimized for A500, it is enough to replace a line in build.prop:
ro.product.model=A100 -> ro.product.model=A500
all other necessary modifications are already present there.
Thanks for all quick replies. But I am not talking about A500, even though the issues are the same or similar.
I have many useful apps that I can find on my android phone (GB), NookColor (CM7) and Touchpad (CM9) but not on the A100 device. I tried all ROMs (stock, your ZN version, CM9 and this one), they all have the problem.
One example of those missing apps is:

I cannot think of a reason of incompatibility since it's a simple eReader

I am trying this out now.
The ring displays correctly on landscape but does not on portrait. Some of the Google should be included, like Gmail. I flashed gapps but it did not include gmail.
Since your concern was to have green for android which is a Google OS maybe go ahead and include the Google apps especially Gmail. Thanks. So far it seems to operating okay. We will give it a week and see what it starts doing.

There is some other problem with this rom. A bunch of my gplay apps are coming up as incompatible now, even ones that require no special permissions.
I think if a rom is going to made that is regional it should be posted as such.
Sadly I am going to have to flash another rom.
I had hopes for this rom, maybe if the devs stick with it I will try again in future.
Thanks for your effort.

Hey ZN and Igcmn...I notice that sometimes when waking the tab up from sleep mode or returning to the homescreen it tends to automatically go to landscape mode....and stays there...won't flip to portrait....i either have to reboot for it to work (in which it will return back to landscape) or if I try other things (games that only do portrait etc) then i t will work

[MOD] [4.1.2] Segmented Circle Battery Mod. 1% Increments. Based on 4.1.2 Stock

This is a Circle Battery Mod with 1% increments and a working battery charging animation. It has the segmented circle (as opposed to the solid, unbroken circle). It is based on the de-odexed stock 4.1.2
~~!! NOT COMPATIBLE WITH 4.2 !!~~
NOTES:
- De-odexed only (Though I've heard it works to over-write your SystemUI even if you are odexed, as always, perform changes at your own risk. Backup recommended.)
- Tested with the Factory/Stock De-odexed ROM by teshxx (found here)
- For STOCK based ROMs only. WILL NOT work with CM or other modified ROMs.
- Use on other ROMs at your own risk
- Mine is for the GSM model. If you would like one for the CDMA/LTE model, please go here. This one was for the Verizon model, and would not work on mine, but inspired me to make one for the GSM.
The attached zip should be flashable in CWM or TWRP, but I cannot guarantee anything. As always make a backup first.
EDIT: I've re-created and re-uploaded the .zip, and had a user report that the flash worked. Flash away!
If the flash STILL fails, please unzip it, and pull the .apk out and manually copy it into /system/app and reboot. Changing the permissions on it after copying would probably be recommended (should be rw-r-r).

Unfortunately I'm not quite that skilled, and am not sure where to pull that from. I'm quite new to modding and this was my first ever mod that actually worked.
But just to be clear, you are referring to the rotation lock like on the Nexus 7's notification bar right?
I flashed this twice and it didn't change anything. Do I have to enable it or something?

Shouldn't have to. It should overwrite your existing SystemUI and take effect immediately after flashing. If it's not flashing properly, try pulling the apk out of the .zip file and replacing your SystemUI manually (using something like Root Explorer or any other app that lets you see the root files of your device).

Hmm, OK. I'll give it a shot. The battery stuff is contained in the SystemUI.apk, but the rotation toggle is part of the framework. I'll see what I can do, but no guarantees.
EDIT: I've tried, but it's a little bit beyond my current knowledge. Modifying the SystemUI was child's play in comparison to trying to work with stuff in the framework. It may be a simple tweak once you get there, but getting there for me is the difficult bit. I can't seem to get the .jar extracted properly to find the .smali file required as detailed in the thread you linked. My apologies, I don't think I'll be able to get that one for you.
thanks. I didn't try to flash it over CWM, but copied SystemUI.apk to system/app. It works well.
Hi, I took the risk and pushed the SystemUI.apk to system/app on my stock OTA 4.1.2 and it worked! Stock ROMs that came directly from Google are odexed by default right? It seems to work fine here without problems.
Thanks for the share.. works great.

Interesting. Keeping the odex when it's unneeded shouldn't be a problem (I don't think so anyway), but I believe the problem comes in if you delete it when you do need it. So you should be OK.

I couldn't find any other that worked for the GSM that was based in 4.1.2. All of the ones that I found were either based in 4.1.1 or were for Verizon. So for me, yes it is indeed the first one that worked. And I learned something new in the process of making it work. Thank you, have a nice day!
Great job!
I have just flashed through CWM, and it works perfectly!
I dun know why other %bat mod not compatible with my deodexed ROM, but this one works!
Highly appreciate with your work!

[DOWNLOAD] S4 Google Edition Camera, Boot Animation, and Live Wallpaper

Google Edition Boot Animations etc.
Wanted to share > "The new Google boot animation and SunBeam live wallpaper that are currently exclusive to the Google Play Editions of the HTC One and Galaxy S4 have already been pulled and released for our tinkering pleasure. Thanks to the release of the GPL files (similar to factory images) for each phone by JBQ, members of XDA were able to get inside and pull out these two goodies. We’re still awaiting the arrival of the new Camera app, but we’ll take these two for now.
The boot animation is a .zip file that can be flashed through your custom recovery (yes, you need to be rooted). The files are 1080p wide, so it should look good on almost any device.
With the SunBeam wallpaper, you can try to install it as you would any other sideloaded .apk, but it may error out on you. Should you run into an issue, you’ll need to be rooted so that you can push the file to /system/app. Set the permissions to RW-R–R–, reboot, and enjoy.
The camera .apk from the GPe phones was made available, and appears to work on any phone without root. I installed it on my HTC One without issue (pictured above). In fact, I was able to snap a Photo Sphere, Panorama, video, and regular photo like you would hope."

Boot animation: try extracting the file contents and move the bootanimation.zip (from system/media in the zip file) to the /data/local folder on your phone. Rather than flashing
I cant guarantee anything as i'm not currently using any of these files.

The boot animation has been posted in a few more phone threads (verizon s4, nexus 4, etc). I would check to see if they have any fixes or an alternate file. Sorry I can't help any more than that

could always use the international boot animation... the black samsung one... way better than that annoying tmobile one. Theres a flashable zip in the wicked rom thread and theres also one here on one of the other theme threads with just the files.
Also camera confirmed working on my end as well. very nice!

the wicked rom uses a different format for boot animations. they use the .qmg files vs using the bootanimation.zip file. there are tutorials how to change the format. it is a little involved.
The camera won't install on my end. Using PAC rom. Anything special I have to do before I install it?

Never mind, after several reboots it was finely able to install.

The camera is very nice. Slightly better than the camera on Slim build 6.5.
Camera installed but couldnt take panaroma and 360 pics.

Any way to get the camera to save pics to SD Card instead of the internal?
Can I install the camera on stock non rooted or does it have to be flashed via recovery?
Edit. Nevermind I reread the first post and answered my question

Go here. Extract the files and replace them in /system/media with the default ones. It works, as I just set it up on mine!

Volume Mod

Here is my edited mixer paths file
It makes your headphones(3 levels) , bluetooth(1 level) and speaker(1 level) louder. Simply Open an explorer I use es file Explorer and go to device and remove the mixer paths xml file and replace it with mine.Make sure you fix permissions before you reboot or you may go to a bootloop.The file is located on device at system folder then etc folder then find the file mixer paths file and move or replace it then put my file in it's place.Then fix permissions on the file or just flash zip in Twrp and reboot.

which version?
TWRP also work with stock Kernel . The Trick is to flash with flashify. But the modded kernel is smother anyway. Can't wait for development to really take off . (64 bit xposed would be great)
