I made a simple open source nightmode app for rooted E4GTs that turns the screen to red and black, to preserve night vision. I've only tried it on EL29. Whether it works on other firmwares, or other Samsung phones, depends on whether they use exactly the same /system/etc/mdnie* files.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
If you ran some screen adjustment app that modified your mdnie* files, GalacticNight will refuse to start.
There are also options for green and black, black and white, as well as reversed colors (e.g., if you want to browse the web at night, reversed BW might work better).
You also save some battery life in single-color night mode, because you don't turn on the other colors.
Yes, I know there is ChainFire3D, which is a great app, but this is better for nightmode. ChainFire3D does nightmode by simply dropping the green and blue colors. That way of doing things can make some things invisible (e.g., some things in the UI may be pure green, and then they'll turn black). GalacticNight, instead, properly converts RGB colors to luminosities, and then sets the red (or green or white) intensity according to the luminosity.
GalacticNight manipulates the /system/etc/mdnie* files and should not have any more impact on performance than, say, using the Movie color profile in the standard settings.
If something goes wrong, you may need to go in with adb and copy the backed up mdnie* files from /sdcard/GalacticNight_backup

Can you send me a log so I can figure it out? Just install catlog from Google Play, run GalacticNight, go immediately to catlog, press MENU and Send, and email it to [email protected]?
Thanks!
Alright, not sure If I did it right but sent it

Yup, that was perfect, thank you. I didn't realize that busybox's mount formats the list of partitions a bit differently. I just posted 0.02 which fixes the problem your log showed. Of course, there could be other problems.
I updated to 0.03. Don't know how compatible it will be, but now it does things quite differently (it sets up a link from /system/etc/mdnie*dynamic_mode to files in /sdcard, so it doesn't need to touch /system when you change colors) and adds a new sepia mode which changes the background to sepia (same shade as Kindle app uses).
Looks like one problem is that this stuff has been seriously changed in ICS while I only have GB. Looking at ICS source code (for the I9100, but I am hoping it's the same here), there is a control file called "tunning" (yes, "nn") somewhere on the device (maybe in /sys/class/mdnie/?) that controls color tuning files. Can anybody check if they have such a file?
here ya go...this is from cm9
but it seems to just be blank??
Thanks, it's actually a control file. When you copy it it should be empty when you have no tuning file.
If you want to try to help with further development, I posted instructions in this thread on what would help next. It's hard to develop for an OS version I don't have, but I really don't want to go to ICS on my device.
For the daring user, I made a version of GalacticNight for ICS. Not tested on any ICS device, but based on my understanding of the ICS mdnie driver source code. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Here it is. If you are daring enough to try it (I do think that if it screws up the display, a reboot should fix it, but I can't make any promises), I would be grateful for tests.
I would recommend first testing the Dynamic/Standard/Movie modes. Those are less likely to cause problems on your device.
If you have GB, you can try this version, too. I did test the GB version of the code. This version has a new screen mode called "No blue" which turns off blue pixels to save batteries, and modifies red and green to compensate. White turns to yellow. I've heard that blue light makes it harder to fall asleep, so this might be a good screen mode for use while reading yourself to sleep. I certainly felt like I got sleepy while using this mode last night.
Just tried the last update for ics. I'm on cm9 nightly 8/3 and it seems to be working fine

Excellent. I spent a couple of hours adding S3 support since then. Could you try the current version to make sure I didn't break the S2 ICS support. I hope it will all work on S2 (GB and ICS), S3, Note (completely untested) and maybe even the 7.7 Tab (completely untested).
Also, while you're testing, I'd like to find out if the color mode survives turning the screen off and on. (It doesn't on the S3.)
On my S2 it returns to normal after screen turns off.
Still an awesome app though. With the way you have the interface it is so simple and quick to change colors, having to reapply after screen off is not much of an issue for me.
Thanks for building this app. Great job!
Forgot to add.. I am on CM9.

Only one request
Could you add a blue option?
Version 0.09 here might fix the screen-on problem.
Any reports on version 0.09? There have been 17 downloads and nobody has said anything.

Unlinke GalacticICS, GalacticNight009 did NOT run it says the devive is not rooted.
Arp, The app still runs fine but it does reset after screen off. I also made sure to uninstall the previous version before installing v9.

Done in 0.11. If anybody is annoyed by too many options, press MENU, Settings, and then you can select which color mode buttons are showing.

Just installed 0.12.
Thanks, the blue looks sweet.
I didnt notice the menu option before, very nice feature.
I had to come back and edit here, it does survive after screen off now. It would be nice to see more feedback for arpruss though.
Note: I searched forum for screen flicker issue, but it wouldn't let me reply to the thread for some reason, so I'm creating a new one here.
Phone : Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-i747m, ICS, not rooted.
Hi guys
I noticed when I'm typing a message or email, the screen would flicker sometimes, its so quick that if you blink you'll miss it, I know I'm being picky about it because its an expensive phone. So I did some more tests on it, I thought it might be due to samsung keyboard so I installed third party keyboard and noticed flicker again, then I installed sms pro, still noticed flicker; noticed flicker in email app as well as gmail app. At this point I thought it might have something to do with the software(sending keyboard signals to the operating system?) since it only happens when I type. So I did another test, but this time in SMemo and I didn't notice any flicker, I was puzzled here, so I tested 5 times for straight 15 minutes straight, no flicker.
I noticed that in all the apps I tested except SMemo there was something in common - traditional "textbox" object, whenever I typed in a typical textbox, I noticed flicker. So I downloaded few note taking applications which were using typical textbox and non-typical textbox(not sure how many different text objects are there in android, I haven't started android app development yet.) so I noticed flicker in apps with typical textbox, and didn't with non-typical textbox.
So I was wondering if you guys can do a similar test on your phone to confirm whether the flickering exists on your phone or not. I'll be relieved to know that I'm not the only one with this flickering issue, and hopefully Jelly Bean update will fix it.
To reproduce, just open a messaging app and start tapping on the letters from Q to M one by one.
Side Note: I did send the phone for repair in case it was a hardware issue, they couldn't reproduce the issue for some reason, reloaded the firmware and sent it back to me. sigh
tldr: Screen flickers when typing in any other app except SMemo.
You didn't search very hard, or you would know that the flickering is a known issue. That can be fixed by either raising your minimum clock speed to around 384mhz, remove your under volt settings, and disable hw overlays in dev settings.

Undervolting requires a kernel that supports it as well ad an app to control the voltage of the CPU. While the ktoonsez kernel does support undervolting, you stated you didn't know how to change the settings. I am assuming you never undervolted your CPU.
Are you using ktoonsez's newest kernel? His older kernels were undervolted and did not have stock settings

Actually I haven't rooted by phone, it's just running what my carrier provided through OTA. Recently, just had an ICS update but that too didn't fix the problem.

Crap, I just made an ass of myself, thought you said you had different kernel.
Sorry bud, haven't heard of the screen flickering issue on completely stock phone.
Hmmm...well, I don't have this issue.
But, I know the power saving adjusts the refresh rate: try disabling that if it's enabled.
Also, you didn't change any settings in developer options, did you? Like show screen updates?
What apps do you have installed? I know my brightness adjustment app did funky things with my screen when I first installed it.
Or did this happen right when you got the phone?
I don't know know a lot about backing up, but you could reset your phone and see if it still happened?

I already tried disabling power saving, the frequency of screen flicker reduced but it still flickers.
None of the setting is enabled in developer options.
I dont have lot of apps installed, may be one or two, texting app and google chrome and other apps which already came with the phone.
I already tried resetting to factory settings, but that too didnt solve the problem.
It doesnt flicker when I type in SMemo, but it does in other apps, this is the thing which I dont understand.

Same thing is happening to me, some help would be greatly appreciated.
so no one else is having this issue?
Even though there is not much difference than the bumped up processor between Xperia S and SL, I felt the lack of my brand new Xperia SL thread in XDA. So I just started this for my and other proud Xperia SL user's satisfaction.

Digital zoom 16x
Photo flash No
Video recording Yes – HD 1080p
Video chat camera Yes
Front Camera Yes – HD 720p for video chat and 1.3 MP for camera capture
General questions:
Unlockable Bootloader?
Apparently yes!
Is the clear band at the bottom going to be used for notifications?
Yes it is. But unlike Xperia U Sony used white LEDs this time to make it classy but not funky!
Hardware Mods are there to change colours though.
What's this about the battery?
Well for one it is indeed not removable
Removing the battery is pretty trivial as demonstrated in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lHsf...layer_embedded
On the good side though it is supposed to have a new 'fast charge' technology that charges the phone rapidly to 80% and then basically tricle charges it from that point, so if you need a quick boost you're in luck
Micro SIM?
I'm afraid so
Here's how to cut down a standard size sim to a micro sim though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb1Wv...eature=related
You can also pick up some pretty cheap devices (which look a bit like a hole-punch / stapler) from ebay that will cut it for you, if scissors scare you for some reason.
Micro SD card?
Nope
NFC?
Yes - and uses smart-tags so you can automatically setup a profile for home, work etc just by tapping your phone against a tag.
Does it have FM radio?
Yes! It has FM radio with RDS
Here are few tricks at a glance:
System info (phone, battery, used and WiFi information)
*#*#4636#*#* (INFO) - Works on all Android devices
Service menu - The classic one that we are used to see from ages on ericsson and sony ericsson phones. (service info, device tests, etc...)
*#*#7378423#*#* (SERVICE)
Demo - Used in stores for demonstration, a video demonstrates the product when we push the power button and acts as a normal phone when we touch it.
*#*#73556673#*#* (sellmore) - choose activate. To deactivate just enter the same code again.
To reboot your phone (because you can't remove the battery) press and hold at same time the power and volume up keys till it reboot.
SCREENSHOT: Holding down the power button now brings you a different menu compared to Android 2.3.7. Most users will probably notice that the ‘Take screenshot’ option has disappeared. Android ICS now allows you to take screenshots by holding down the power button and volume down button at the same time.
SAFE MODE: - even if I have no clue how to use it, any help?
1- Power off the phone
2- Turn it back on then right after hold the menu, and release when you feel the 2nd vibration
3- If you see SAFE MODE on down left of the screen, you did it
4- To leave SAFE MODE just reboot the phone.

Again reserved.....
One last reserved...
To the op I have changed the title of your thread.
Nothing personal but given the diversity of the people on xda I think this will be more appropriate.

Nope. Sony Update Service says the .45 is the latest for the SL
Hello, I have bought an Xperia SL, and i have lots of questions to ask. Im pretty confused to some thread/post i read somewhere, but still it remains question, and also i have posted this in Q&A Thread, but no one answered yet so il just post this again.
So here are my questions about this handset.
- Does it support Fast Charging capability using the quick charger? I read that newer versions of XS without the yellowtinting, the feature was removed, so how about SL?
- Does the Anti Stain Shell still a Feature of Xperia SL?
- Does Xperia SL have Bluetooth 3.0 or 2.1? My MW600 does have a sec delay when playing games, but what could be the cause of these delay?
- Is WIFI DIRECT is still a feature of Xperia S or SL? I read that feature is questionable or not existing but sony have advertised this feature for XS
- Yellow Tint and CPU Throttling underclocked cpu when over heating?
- Change logs for Update .50 or .55, is it really released? Im still using .45, and update is not yet available here.

- So far so good here no yellow tint on my SL and yes,CPU onderclocks itself when heating up to prevent overheating
(It decreases to 800 MHz,but you can always use apps like SetCPU to set it back to normal)
- Yep,the .45 firmware is the latest for our SL it seems,but you can always use the Xperia S' firmwares with no problem
(I've tried it myself,but make sure to do a backup first )

Yes the fast charging is only up to 80% (or 90%?) so it's safer for the battery. But,according to this post,you may need to think twice for fast charging

what rom you running on ? mine work on .45
Hi all, I need help with this rom that I just flashed. Basically these are the problems I faced;
1. Battery percentage does not show after restart. I can only show it in display>show battery percentage. After restart, gone.
2. Activating Multi window really slows down my device. Like really TURTLE slow. yes, I am on tablet mode.
3. No option shown after power button is pressed. What do I get? "shutting down..."
4. Theres no rom control in settings! I know it sounds ridiculous if anyone of you have it, but nope it's not there.
5. In tablet mode, no status bar, no notification bar because systemUI is not working and I have no idea why. test.zip is flashed from the developer.
6. There's this translucent box with some phone details on it; it has PDA, phone firmware, RF cal date, SMD, RearCAM, FrontCAM and all other stuff that I have no idea wat it is.
Lastly, I really do wanna believe that this is a great rom to try out, but I'm not convinced with all the issues I faced. Nonetheless, if anyone can help me out, I really appreciate it.
Help anyone?

So far I´m really disappointed with overall rom speed and its lags here and there. Another thing is battery drain by google apps wakelocks.
On screen time is not impresive either. I know it is still early to judge this rom, but this is my opinion from using this rom for more than day.

maybe ill just wait the fix for this before I update my ZL , maybe ill stay in 4.3 until they release the fix
So... Basically, it looks great..
But, there's a lag issue... When u pull the notification bar, and on app drawer (can be fix by hard reset)...
I flash c6506 on my c6502 and still looks great !
My score: 8.8/10

Some say that it's necessary to reset the phone after the update to fix the screen lag issue, also, try to activate the GPU acceleration.
hmmm.....
i did not face any problem u all mention....weird....
As i told, i'm having a high consumption of memory.
Two album app, two Walkman.apk
Yeah, it's laggy in when scrolling in settings, forcing GPU rendering fixed that. Also it seems to charge much slower than 4.3. I had the same issue (slow charging) when I was on AOSP. Not sure if I will revert yet...

Mine is still laggy....
Already reset, and forcing GPU rendering....
I haven't actually performed a reset - mine was a 101 4.3 upgrade... and I need to try doing a full reset...
I've noticed a lag at times with turning the screen back on... (sometimes it takes longer to turn back on...), I've had issues with the "acore" process crashing... but from what I've read that's likely another application... probably something that would be resolved with a reset/wipe, I've also had issues with spontaneous reboots... and I know yesterday was having it show that I'd been on "battery " for ~ 2 minutes when I'd been at my kid's soccer game for an hour or so and on battery the entire time... could be a bbs issue, could be a wipe issue... I had also experienced lag in some parts of settings...
Most everything else seemed ok... but at this point, I've rolled back to an asop 4.4.2... (I found that I had to roll my baseband back to 101 to have an asop 4.4.2 rom get cellular connectivity again...)

Mine got many many bugs, but the Brazillian rom is known for this kind of bugs such as:
Lockscreen got no wallpaper and get FC all the time
so much battery drain
No bootanimation
very laggy
Mobile data always on status bar, even if i am at Wifi
Didn't see the option to change for ART (idk if it's a bug)
Laggy on some games like DH 4 and Injustice

I think the data icon is normal. it doens't show traffic. try switch between data-wifi to see the change.
but here, those other things works. It's only slow when backing from lock screen to main screen

Why not use the built in backup and restore? For me it works perfectly...

You need to kill the settings from the task manager after forcing the GPU rendering to make it apply correctly.
Does anyone else have a huge battery drain?
I had to charge my phone twice today with a screen on time of one and a half hours. That's almost half of what I got before. No mather if it was Cm11 or Stock Rom 4.3!

Me too, I have the 4.4 Stock Rom of Generic USA and Google Services are using 73% of my phone's battery. My phone now needs around 4 hours to have 100% of charge
Any idea of how to fix this?

Same thing for me... I think I might have to downgrade. What device version do you have? Where are you from?
