So I've been looking around at how to increase screen FPS/Sensitivity/Overall responsiveness and came across this app today. I've been using it all day and I can notice considerable increase in screen response. Typing has been much easier and I've made less mistakes and scrolling has never felt easier. I recommend everyone give it a shot and hopefully this could be built into ROMS/Kernels. It says SGS only but many have found it to work on their devices.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...Nob3A0YXBwcy50b3VjaHNjcmVlbmJvb3N0ZXIuY29tIl0.
So what does this app actually do? Does it simply just adjust built-in variables in Android for screen response (like the touch threshold, etc)? Or does it do something else entirely? Or maybe placebo? =P (although I doubt that last one is the case, based on the app reviews)
I don't have a clue how it works. All I know is that the screen should be this sensitive out of the box. I ran 12k in Temple Run after I did this and my highest previous run was 6k.
It certainly seems to work, great spot! ;-D
What settings have you found optimal?
Do you use an own configuration or a pre-installed one?
Don't know if it's a placebo effect, but now the phone feels a snappier
While I don't use this on SGN, I can vouch for it working. Used it on my old Hannspad (gTab) and it worked wonders for the sensitivity on that, so much so the device was unusable without it.
Regards.

I use the super optimized setting.

The better responsiveness is especially noticable when you use a screen protector.
It just works perfect in my opinion
I'm def gunna try this on my Transformer Prime.
Going to run this on my xoom, that thing has terrible sensitivity
i dont really notice a difference at all. what setting are you using? regardless, i am going to use it on my touchpad and see if that helps with its lack of sensativity.

You guys can also try these this build.prop mods to see if it helps.

Is there any risk to using this app at all? There is a reset button to reset it to the default settings, right?

No risks so far. Yes, there's a default settings option. But you also have a check box to set on boot and if you don't check it the settings will go to default on the next reboot.
didn't notice any difference on my galaxy nexus
I used this on my former HTC sensation that had terrible screen responsiveness in its first days. Worked great. Didn't feel the need for it so far on Gnex.

I was thinking about switching to the GN from my atrix once the ROM development picks up so I have a little bit more of a choice, but I was wondering right now how battery life is. How long does the battery last for and how heavily do you use it? Also it might be helpful if you post any gripes about the phone too. I've heard it has a yellowish tint, but people said that about the atrix as well and I never saw it.

I dont have the nexus yet, but dont expect atrix battery life. Thats for damn sure. I just hope it can make it through a whole day, though realistically ill prolly be charging at the end of my work day on my way home from work and i can live with that. I just the sound chip is on par with the wolfson on the atrix. I didnt realize how good it was til i did some comparisons last night.

There are a few threads on battery life already.
Depends entirely on the usage.
With relatively light usage including some browsing and some media playback + twitter/facebook/email/tweetdeck sync I got this after 1 day:

If you use high brightness levels and lots of screen time you can expect a lot less.

Sorry for making a new thread, I was in a hurry and didn't want to forget to ask.
But does anyone have anything bad to say about the phone? Besides quadrant being low, I don't care about that.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I might be crazy here, But i would have sworn there was a an option somewhere to adjust screen brightness based on what was being displayed on the screen. IE if the image had all white background it would dim a little.
If i'm not crazy, where is this option again? I CANT find it
travel manvikt
I know I've seen this exact option too. Although, it could have just been the rom that had it built in. I know for a fact I was on PA 1.5 and I was able to find the option. PA 1.5 was based on CM9 but I'm on PA 1.7 now which is based on CM10 and I can't find that option any where.
Did you happen to switch roms recently? Or maybe I've just forgotten where I've seen it.
i assumed it was built in, but i will switch to a few and see if i have any luck

It's in kernel apps like Franco or Trinity. Might also be in Trickster Mod app as well.

I've used ZAGG on two phones so far and have had no problems at all, as previously posted use a tissue. All though I agree that the screen gets a rubbery feeling with ZAGG, you won't get a scratch on it.
Ordered a new screen protector today, can't wait to try it out.

Definitely in Franco's app. It appears By default that it is enabled and adjusts automatically. You can however disable it. Normally unchecked.

Lmao, that post was meant for a different thread. I have no idea how he got confused with the two. The other thread, that I'm sure he meant to post in, is looking for a glass-like feel for a screen protector.
Hi,
I would like to know if it will be possible to implement Color Control (as used in many Galaxy Nexus custom kernels) in custom kernel for Galaxy Note 2?
Here's a link (it worked wonders on my old Galaxy Nexus!):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1521195
My Note 2 has a heavy green/yellowish tinted screen. The problem is much more pronounced than on my old Galaxy S3, which actually was quite bad, too...
Otherwise I have to return my Galaxy Note 2
This is a comparison between my calibrated LCD and my Note 2:

I got my replacement today. Still the same problem (at leaster better build quality). I've compared mine to other Galaxy Note 2, every single device I have seen had the same issue. So I guess there are many GN2 with that issue out there.

Do you have power saving mode on? There is a screen setting in the power save menu that tints the browser. Also try to use the "dynamic" screen setting instead of natural or the others. That fixed my tint.

One thing you are not seeing is that a screenshot can never represent a displays color reproduction. As you are eliminating the actual display and only looking at the image as it was rendered in the software. All screenshots from all devices will appear the same, however photos of the actual rendered image on screen will show variations. Using a calibrated display as a reference is the only way to have a solid comparison, just like the OP did. If you want to contribute, do the same.
Ok, so I've came up with the best build.prop tweakz I've ever made.
Beware, I've never tested these because I can't take the chance of bricking my device.
For scrolling speeds:
ro.smoothness.scrollingspeed=3
for battery life:
persist.battery_level=infinite
ro.batterylevel_always=100
For faster 3g:
ro.ril.3gril=yes
I will continue to add to these as I find them. They should work on any ROM (AOSP+Sense). I hope I've helped

On the second line of code i would add "very true"
I just got this thing yesterday from eBay, refurbished from Asus for $209 (32gb) and one of the first things I noticed was a small protrusion from above the microphone jack. Here's my dilemma, I'm really into my electronics looking perfect although I know over time they will have little problems. But is this something to worry about or me just being anal?
I have the opportunity to get it exchanged but it would take a several days and besides being anal I'm not patient.
Thanks in advance.

Well, it's definitely not something that's supposed to be there - I just checked my tablet and it doesn't have that slight lump. The only thing it might possible interfere with would be headphones, and even then there's a really slim chance. Pop in some headphones and see if they work - if they do, there should be no other problems.

I just tested out the headphone jack and it works just fine. So basically it's just an aesthetic issue at this point.
Is it worth going through an exchange for though? Part of me feels as if it has this problem there is a chance it might have others.

For another device I would tell you to get a new one.
But for this tablet...
If you can't find any other issue (dead pixels, random reboot, touchscreen issues grounded or not, etc) you should keep it. The next one could be OK aesthetically but have other problems.

"Yet Another MultiTouch Test" from the play store is a good way to test multi-touch.
If the tablet is in a perfect electrical shape, I would simply keep it. Check the display for dead or stuck pixels, dirt or light bleeding ( though I don´t have anything against it ) and multitouch issues. If the device is usable, I would rather keep it and don´t bother about this dent. The guy who has opened the device before seems to have two left hands though...
its evident that it may have been opened (not sure for what). but as mentioned above, if all works great, no issues at all, just use and enjoy it. other units have issues, and risky to get those to replace a perfectly good one (aside from that bump).
