Hi All,
I've written a small utility that will help you diagnose and repair screen burn-in issues on your Galaxy Nexus.
You can download the App from here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bengigi.screen.diagnostic
The diagnose mode shows a full screen white color, with minimal brightness so you can check if you have screen burn-in issues.
The repair mode displays a full screen inverted color of the Galaxy Nexus buttons and top bars.
Let me know what you think and if you have any ideas\comments about the App and how it can be improved.
Thanks!
Changes
-------------
Version 1.1:
- Added support for custom images by taking a screen shot
Never had burn in issues but if this works, this will be huge.

My nexus is almost a year old, so that maybe the reason.
Here's how the burn-in looks like on my device:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
wowa! This really works!!
1 minute of doing this and the burn in is gone
Seems great. Looks like I haven't suffered any burn in, but if I did this utility wouldn't help me as I don't use the stock soft key images, and this will only display an invert of those images.

If i understand correctly, this doesnt really repair. It simply burn reverse color so it come to a balance ?

Does this work customized navbars that have different width and perhaps more buttons?

No, the inverted image I'm using is based on the stock rom navbars, but I can modify it to support other navbars, but I'll need a screen shot of the for that.

Maybe you can modify this so it can repair all kinds of navbar heights and buttons! I know this is a lot of work, so you can turn this into a paid app. Anyhow, thank you for this app!
Thanks for the app. I'll put it in work for few hours.
Awsome work! Finally no ugly burn in when toggling off the nav bar buttons. Great!

An idea would be to incorporate a screenshot option, and then invert that within the app.

That is a good idea, I'll try to see if I can implement it, not sure how to take a full screen shot programmatically.
If anyone knows how, please let me know
Is this meant for the nav bar or overall burn in? We have a phone on display with the words "sprint" burned in the middle of the screen lol.

What do you need?
Look at Launcher.config.xml for the 16bit.
Enable landscape mode:
- Open AndroidManifest.xml
- Look for
Code:
android:screenOrientation
and change it from "nosensor" to "user"

Already tried that but doesnt work.
whats the difference between the old TouchWiz mod ??
The font looks a bit too bold for the screen. & the icons are a bit too flashy. They don't carry the subdued beauty of the background. Just my thoughts.
sweet! nice to see someone is continuing this project, but i really think you should consider making a launcher as close to stock as possible with just the added tweaks. Speed, customizable default screen etc.
Keep up the good work!
I have managed to get additional locale to the gtglauncher without decompiling gtglauncher, but then again it is not perfect, and does exhibit a strange behaviour.
Whenever I reboot the phone, it will always force close once. After that, the launcher works perfectly, no force close or whatsoever. Landscape, portrait works just like as before.
pm me if you want to know the method.
Edit: The 1st time I tried is the 16bit disabled launcher, and it force closed. When I try the 16bit version, there is NO force close anymore.
Thanks a ton for all ur hard work. A 5 icon Dock and Landscape Rotation would seal the deal. Let the donation pour in to webstar to support him.
Just a suggestion, it will look much nicer if you remove the backdrops. Currently looks too cramped and cluttered.

Have you tried using a higher quality image to test out the color banding problem?

Can someone try these wallpapers on your galaxy nexus ? just for the sake of science
wasn't this an issue with the launcher and some apps not supporting 32-bit
I think this was an issue on the Nexus One Gallery app, and once updated, it fixed it. Also some launchers have a Hi-Res mode which fixed banding issues.
No banding from me, from any of those pics
I notice that trying to set wallpapers on my SGS2 I get better quality when using the app "Wallpaper set and save". Search for it in the market and try applying your wallpapers with it and see if it helps.

Hey guys,
I am desperatly looking for a texture for more than 4 weeks now and I cant find it, so maybe some of you more experienced Themers might be able to help me.

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The texture I am looking for is the greyisch one you can see being used there in multiple areas for example camera and menu. Since its used in many spots I thought it has to be in the frameworks. I changed many images and none of them worked. Maybe I overlooked some which I had to change.
Here is my worked on framework: http://www.mediafire.com/?yd7dompz4dcj5qo
The Rom is Paranoid Android 0.9b
I already asked some people in the tablet theming section, but well...the pointed me to files which dont exist for me or told me its a colour code in values, which I didnt find either.
BTW the power menu is completely black with the dialog one in the xhdpi folder. Most of the other menus too, but not the camera menu
Help is much appreciated^^
If its a texture, like a gradient or a pattern, find it in systemUI.apk. If its a single color, then its somewhere hidden in the codes!
Edit: oops! Just looked at your images closely. Looks like its just a signle color. Probably hidden in the codes
I think its the "dialog_middle_holo_dark.9.png, dialog_top_holo_dark.9.png, dialog_bottom_holo_dark.9.png and dialog_full_holo_dark.9.png" in the framework-res.apk.

Yes and I think I got them all.
I uploaded my xhdpi folder and I would much appreciate it if you guys would take a look and tell me which I overlooked -.-
XHDPI
I think I got all of the dark dialogs and pop up menus or the toast frame thingy, but none did the job.
What lets me think , that it is not hidden in the code is the fact, that the border is grey black grey. If it were hidden in the code that would be too much text if you would ask me, but I cant find a corresponding image -.-
Here's the theme i made for the transformer that had that image changed. I don't know where it is anymore, but feel free to decompile and look around.

*Click image for high res. version.
It has been a while since I made a real homescreen, I had been using Windows Phone for a while before I got my Galaxy S3. You guys have no idea how suffocating those tiles were (But I still love the MetroUI).
So, I call this setup DropUI cause of the raindrops in it. I have this strange fascination about them, they calm me down. You might notice the edges have black spots, they're there so that the screen looks rounded too. Inside the screen is another layer (or I call it a base). The base has the nav, the dock and the folders. I had to include the dock inside the wallpaper and then use blank icons on my launcher cause 7x10 grid was a pain to work with.
I had seen many setups before I created this, the best and the most unique ones used SweeterHome which is a beta launcher and is clunky. I believe in functionality over looks so I chose one of the best launchers out there, Apex Launcher. (You can use GoLauncher too but Apex has some nice gesture controls.) I made most of it, I had to mash up two icon sets and add in some effects to them. (resources are listed below). Unlike most of the complex setups which make it really hard to change wallpapers, each of my homescreen changes its wallpaper automatically. I had to make couple of wallpaper variations but same wallpapers get boring after a while. The folders are made up of Simi Folder widget and the text is made up of Minimalistic Text.

We all have them - and it will help ROM devs to know what "the people" want to be changed.
Mine include the clutter in the notification bar, particularly the WiFi Calling item, and the "suggested activities" on plugging in headphones. I'll let you guess which I've already removed.
e: If it's a major missing feature like real lock screen widgets or photo sphere, it probably doesn't belong in this thread, nor does hardware items.
You know you can now hide the wifi calling by long pressing on it in the notification bar, going to app info, and clicking to turn off notifications? It removes the icon and keeps your wifi calling intact.

How about PhotoSphere? I heard it's not on the S4, even though it has 4.2.2.
