Screen Resolution Question...i know its been covered :) - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I am just curious and couldnt find whether or not its been covered but is it a possibility to port whatever controls the screen resolution on the S3 to our phones? I dont even know if thats mechanically possible or feasible but it would be nice.
I am not asking what apps can change my screen res or anything because its not native, and if the s3 can run TouchWiz at a higher res then why cant we?

Sorry if I am mis reading this but are you asking about changing the touchwiz dpi settings or that you want more resolution? If its the latter pixels are a hardware feature not a software and cannot be changed. Our phone will always be 800x480 ( which i agree is kind of small for our phone, wish our pixels were a little denser).

[Q] LCD settings

Hi everybody.
Is there some chance to do any app,util etc for LCD settings parameters? On DHD is LCD too poor against Desire. By settings of gamma, contrast etc DHD will be in Desire status with quality of screen... What do you think..?
Nobody can replay? Is there some chance set this on rooted DHD? I think, it could be possible...
The desire had a diffrent type of display, we have lcd, it has amoled

Not all desires

I believe the OP was asking if it was possible to alter the LCD display settings. In other words, the settings that then allow for the LCD display settings to be altered. This would include screen saturation levels, contrasts, gamma, white balance etc. Currently, we can only change the brightness. It would be useful. LCDs can be set up to look nice and appealing (such as my HD Monitor), and as such I believe it is simply a bit of delving "under the hood" of the phone (software wise of course, there should be a few settings to allow those settings to be altered )
sure would be nice. But i think those settings are deep inside the system and someone would have to write a special tool and implement it in a custom rom to actually give us access to screen options.
Not an easy task i guess.
It would be quality if someone could do it!!
Iv not doubt it would be real hard, but im sure some of the amazing ppl here could do it Fingers crossed someone who can, manages to spare a little time to look into it!!!?
That could be done, just like the "render effect" in CM. But at the cost of performance.
Maybe someone could do it by altering the driver without performance loss? Looking forward to it.

I am not programmer,and I dont really know what way is to do it,but I am sure,that is possible, couse every screen needs to be adjusted to some preferences,and this is not from a nature. It have to be set by some numbers 0 and 1 question is, if is somebody to do this...? Is it a challange for someone? Huh..? B-)
edit: when I had Desire and DHD (both with slcd) together with the same desktop,desire has very nice, live,shiny collors and DHD looks beside of desire as grey shadiw... sad and dead collors... am i wrote right this?
sure it can be done, but the question is: will someone develop an app to do it? I'm using CM7, and there is a option called "render effect" that let you apply some filters (blue, amber, salmon, etc)... personally, i like the option "calibrated (n1)".
ah, and don't ever put dhd side by side with almost any high-end device (mainly amoleds)! =o)
hmmm i said both device has slcd... my friend ;-) and render effect dont solve my quetion... and if will someone do it,DHD will be much better than before... dont you think?

I noticed on the review of the Canadian Release of the Telus DHD (Mobilsyrup )it mentions SLCD several times,The XDA review never says SLCD,but refers to it as LCD.Either they are different screens or the reviews aren't as accurate as necessary.
If DHD has LCD so I dont undestand why Desire - as lower device has much better SLCD/AMOLED screen, RGB LED etc. and DHD as higher device and it costs much money,bigger screen,is made as lower device than Desire,worse screen, BI collored LED only... Where is an idea - point of this? Why? Feel much dissapointed and cheated...

Jello effect w/ video recording. Why hasn't this got more attention?

(can't post links still)
youtube[dot]com/watch?v=gymA26jqtTQ
It's really the only thing that's stopping me from buying the Galaxy Nexus. In my opinion the Galaxy Nexus can't take video if that's what it's producing. Anyone here a photography master of sorts that can shed some light on this issue?
Through my research I've found that the jello effect caused by a rolling shutter can be fixed in post production, but is something like this fixable via software/firmware on the phone?
What's going on? It's a bit shocking that nobody is concerned about this issue.
are you serious? "what's going on?"
it's quite obviously image stabilisation.
The sensor basically just relays data, OMAP camera hardware interface process it (stabilisation etc...) and Android presents, maybe tweaks it a bit and saves it.
So an eventual "fix" would be in OMAP firmware, not Android right?

I don't know, but there is an option in Google Talk to change image stabilisation effect.
I have the same thing,but I think that it is image stabilization.
I've just replicated this issue and must say.. I'm totally not bothered! The image stabilisation is actually pretty good and the ony time i can make it do this is if I jiggle the camera... unless youre planning on trying to mock up an earthquake effect, I dont see this being an action you would do. In fact, due to the good image stabilisation, its pretty hard to do this jiggle accidentally, you must be quite determined to create this "jelly" effect (I'm in the UK, hence I get a jelly effect, not jello )

If you don't want to read, its because it uses a CMOS sensor. Affects cell phones and DSLRs alike. Hardware related.

May I ask what makes you so sure?
The video effect shown in the original post and in others if you look, mirrors exactly that of the "jello effect" caused by a rolling shutter, i.e. the sensor, more importantly, CMOS sensors. From what I've found: all cameras, even professional DSLR's have this "jello effect" caused by rolling shutters on CMOS sensors. The only, and most common fix I've found is to edit the video in post production.
It's not quite obviously image stabilization considering how this issue is reproduced in the exact same scenario a rolling shutter w/ CMOS sensor would to create the jello effect. Otherwise the issue would occur all the time and not only when panning quickly. The video below should explain.

This may not be the best example, but it should show you what I am talking about. Others like this can be found by doing a simple Google or YouTube search.
The problem is oscillik is both a) incorrect, and b) an asshole. A dangerous combination to be sure!

LOL, funny stuff.
I know what rolling shutter effect on CMOS based cameras is. This looks more excessive than rolling shutter, and looks more like image stabilisation.
People really need to stop thinking that SmartPhones are the end all be all. Unless a phone is specifically dedicated for a camera as it's main feature, then of course people should be concerned.
People here really plan on shooting lots of hd video with their phone? If quality really matters a dedicated camera would be better served...from what I can see this is pretty trivial. Then again, the only thing I take video of is dyno runs and fun in bed...
Again not hardware involved!!!

Awesome! Glad to see this fixed, and nice find by the way. An update to the default camera app will come I'm sure. Until then this essentially fixed the problem, whatever it was, if image stabilization, I stand corrected.
it is image stabilisation, as has been proven by the fact that using another application gets rid of it.

Here's a 1080p video I took at a Football stadium. Big game, I luckily shot the only goal at Arsenal Vs Man City on Tuesday.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxsdD7iPpnM&feature=g-all
I tried using the LGCamera app mentioned in the YouTube post but it crashes on launch. Has anyone else had any luck?
GSM version running 4.01.
I use 720p because of the 30fps. 1080p is 24fps on the Gnex.
No thanks to 24fps.
That explains why image stabilization is having a hard time at stabilizing the image at that resolution at the frame rate.
I think image stabilization works best at higher frame rates.
My two cents.
Having said that, I do feel rolling shutter is a underrated issue with smart phones and point and shot. I would much rather have 720p without rolling shutter than 1080p with in.
I think post processing like deshaker is some cool stuff too. There are some really cool videos on youtube.

If they could do deshaking in realtime and eliminate rolling shutting... That would be cool. Some day.

[Q] Epic 4G Touch 720p Display

Since our phone has as many subpixels as the 720p display on the Galaxy Nexus, theoretically wouldn't it be possible to make android do same resolution for our phones by using the same amount of sub pixel to pixel ratio?
I Introduce you to this thread.

Let me introduce you to this post in the same thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19726602&postcount=8
This is what I'm asking about. The app idea is great but thats not really changing resolution, its just making everything smaller.
The hardware driver for the screen is not designed to handle less subpixels at a time, and is hardwared for 12 per pixel. Even if we could change that we would have to create the drivers from scratch to handle that. None of the source is available on our drivers. Its just too much to ask.
Thanks for the informative answer

[Q] Xperia Arc LT15i Camera Enhancement.

First thing I noticed when I bought the phone was it's powerfull 8.1 mpix camera with eXmor sensor and other cool stuff, but thing that really upset me was picture compression thing, it doesn't matter what picture I take it doesnt go over 2MB's, the hugest photo I've taken is sunset photo it was 2.44Mb, but it was only once, I ask just for some modification to the camera or any application that would help me push the phone camera to the limit, any fix for colors they are not saturated enough sometimes, thanks in advance!!!

Yeah, I know thank you anyway, I dont lose hope
Just happen to find this thread and looked into it and made the needed adjustment... But I loaded the same picture in Photoshop with the compressed version VS the uncompressed one and there is an increase in the quality. It's nothing much that you can really see but it's there.

Galaxy Nexus HDR

I've been looking around but I can't find anything, but are there any ROMs or APKs floating around that enable HDR for the Galaxy Nexus? Is it something that can be enabled with software or are there hardware limitations? Thanks
Hardware prevents this. Search for any of the threads already about this for more detailed explanation.

mind explaining....i found about 4 different threads here on XDA and not one of them explained why it was hardware related. at least not with supported facts.
i am pretty sure this is all software. IIRC, i watched a video of someone who switched it from regular to HDR and the image on nexus 4's screen changed when they did that. now this may have been just an increase/decrease in exposure to prep for the 3 different exposure shots.
does the N4 ACTUALLY take 3 shots at different exposures and then process the image? or does it just take 1 and "fake HDR" it?

Yea I've seen most places saying it needs to be enabled in the software but there are also a few that say the hardware prevents it. It would be nice to know if there is a solution or not.
A HDR picture is produced by taking 2 or more pics at different exposures very quickly. It can be done in software for sure, but I think the delay between the pictures will be too long to be taken when holding the phone by hand without some hardware magic.

HDR is purely a software feature, I'm guessing Google wanted it to remain exclusive with the nexus 4.

I don't think its hardware... Just search in HDR camera in the play store... You should be able to find it.

HDR is a software feature. I don't think its integrated into AOSP though.

The way Google did the solution makes it incompatible with Galaxy Nexus...
They did it in a way that the camera driver has to provide one or more scenes that have HDR support.
Obviously, it is very possible to do it in Galaxy Nexus, it has a really speedy sensor and is able to take many pictures very quickly, and as everyone knows, HDR is a software task, getting "the best" out of two or more pictures that have different exposure settings. But, the 4.2 AOSP Camera doesn't have this support, it only exposes HDR if the camera driver has HDR scenes/modes... As no one (I really don't know who has the sources and could do it) bothered to update the Galaxy Nexus camera drivers for Android 4.2, there you go, no HDR mode using AOSP camera.
I use HDR Camera+ with my gnex and it works very well. Just make sure to hold your hand very steady or rest it on something
