[REQUEST]Sony's Whitebalance Port - Nexus 7 Themes and Apps

As we all know, the Nexus 7 screen is very poorly calibrated by Asus, meaning we haven't seen yet its full potential. Since there is no (not yet) color control in kernels available yet, it would be great if some app could improve saturation and white balance. I recently read about Sony's new whitebalance option which enables the user to solve at least some flaws of the display and I thought it would be a great idea to implement it into our Nexus 7. The article can be found here: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/xperia-zls-white-balance-ported/
I know nothing about porting stuff and things like that so I hope someone here could give it a try. It has already been ported to the xperia T and V so
maybe it can be used as a reference to start with: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2193471&page=8
Let me know if you guys see any potential in this!

Sorry to crush your hopes, but it simply won't happen. Sony's whitebalance option is integrated into the settings apk. These devices are so vastly different so it is not feasible to try and port something like this. Also, you'll never see color control in kernels because it is not possible on the device.

That's xperia framework stuff, which is the reason why so many new xperia stuff gets ported to older devices
The framework is there

Light sensor level mod - no dev?

Hello guys, I've made the question, but the Q&A section is not very visited so...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776871
Is there a DEV that can make the light sensor become adjustable in the SENSE UI roms? like on AOSP (i think open desire has it or cyanogen)
http://twitpic.com/2k4qjz
+1 really love to have one

Which one exactly? I'm willing to take a look at it as the issue annoys me too, if someone points me to the source (but no guarantees that I might have the time or be able to do anything about it).
EDIT: Found the CM source for it.
+1 I would love to see this as well.

you were faster than me searching, i was out lunching and haven't saw the topic reply e-mail
if you need assistance on testing, just PM me or let me know at the topic.
It would be nice to have this working, it's so annoying...
Why the f*ck do they include a light sensor if it doesn't work properly?!even after releasing fixes!?lol
Although I think I might know the answer...
"OK, so we gave them the hardware with buggy software to keep them busy...let them(users) figure out a fix, and this way we have time to develop some even nicer phones..."
The main problem here is that since we don't have HTC Sense sources, as they are proprietary, we can't modify system settings with an application which doesn't run as part of the system.
My understanding therefore is that this can be done in two ways:
1) Writing a kernel module which sets the appropriate/specified values on boot (I don't have enough experience to do that) or modifying the default kernel values.
2) Modify values in /sys (wherever they may be hiding) which will be reset any time you reboot, and also may get overwritten by the system at will.
That's my limited understanding anyway. If anyone would like to shed more light on this then please feel free to, or any other ways how this could be achieved...
Moved to Q&A. Please don't post question threads in Development.
fair enough
could we simply start an "official light sensor level developement for sense UI" thread or something like that ?
+1 guys we really neeeed that **** ;p
tks for your work !

Honeycomb 3.0

Hi,
Attached is a build of Honeycomb for DesireHD, I managed to find this by browsing the net and take no credit for creating it whatsoever.
I'm hoping one of our more clever members can do what needs doing with this to make it work on our beloved HD2.
Thanks.
http://www.multiupload.com/DLJ46IG55Q
Nobody is interested? Or is it a fake? Can anybody (with the right skills and tools) check this please.
???
Are you serious ?! someone can verify that build or can you make some screenshots ?
Could be, but dont know if his link is trusted.

Yes that's what i read
but hey
DFT can make it a reality as usual XD
If you check the link in my post, ist already ported and working.
There is a video there to, its a Dutch site though.
Yes its ported to EVO & is working..!!!
PS: - I haven't tried yet though

It is a genuine link, I haven't tested because I don't have a desire, I have seen video footage of it running from the same source and I have inspected the file which looks about right to me, just needs correct drivers and repackaging I believe. If only I knew how to do the repackaging and which driver files were needed I would do it myself.
Yup this is built for tablets and not phones but there are a few tablets with screens not much bigger than our hd2's. It may not even be practical for daily use but I'd love to have a play. : )

May be we can have a working one on our HD2's, can't say, DFT & the cheifs here ROCK..!!!
I like the lock screen & the home screen, it a really an evolution from the older Android Versions..!!!
So hope we get a working port pretty soon..!!!
here's a video for DesireHD release..

I know that mdeejay or one of the other devs on here could get it working in no time, I just don't have the knowledge, fingers crossed.

the expert cooks should be working to port it to the archos tablets
Booted it on my HD2, but... it lags, nearly nothing works by now etc, and it's hard to hit interface buttons... not sure this will be really useful, but I'll try to work on it
Don't ask for upload please...
Can someone point me in the direction for a tutorial for creating clockwork mod roms please?
this would be probably better suited for viewsonic g tablet
Probably, would still be fun to play with on my phone though.

I haven't had any fun
Nothing really works, sdcard mount, wifi, radio, bluetooth, etc etc, even some buttons are not properly mapped, so i couldn't turn the screen off, i haven't took a closer look though.
Default launcher, and some interface parts lag SO much
But this will really take time, cause everything should be fixed, and cause it's still preview SDK - not really worth it.

[Q] What is the future of the "Theme" opportunity?

With the new* udate of Arc (4.0.A.2.368) we got the opportunity to select themes and this is great, but I started to wonder: Will any devs start developing themes that can be installed into the stock theme changer?
I know that its not possible to install new themes to this theme changer today, but I am kind of assuming that the great devs that are here on Xda will find a solution to that "problem" or shall we say this "challenge"..
I must say that I am HOPING that there is some devs that are working on this already, I know that if I knew more about phones/android I sure would.
So I am hoping to hear from some of you guys what your thoughts on "The future of Themes".
* Its not so new anymore but anyways..

Given how basic they actually are it's a bit pointless imo (wallpaper and button press), and from the bit of playing I've done you're never going to be able to use GreenGlow for example to be installed in the same manner.
Thas sad...I was kind of hoping that this theme opportunity would give us lots of good themes that could be sett in an easy way..
I was hoping for an recovery that was really easy to install for the arc and neo, like the xrecovery was on the x10 and x10 mini/mpro but I cant say that ive seen that yet..so that made me get my hopes up when SE launced "themes" but sadly these are not any good.
They look a little bitt better..but not mutch..hehe.
But is there any devs that are working on themes that are more basic so that they could be portet into the Theme chooser?

[DEV][CDMA/GSM] Group Effort to Optimize Existing HoneyComb Ports

Full credit goes to Ssserpentine, SpaceMoose, and OldMacnut for their work on their united efforts to port Honeycomb to our tablets! It seems they are no longer working on it so I decided to create this thread and see what we all could to do together to improve what they have given us!
The point of this thread is to find ways to gather anyone with knowledge on developing, even if its just the "lowly 7-Zippers" like me, to see how we can remove minor bugs and small issues from the ROM. I know Oldmacnut was going to pick it up, but he has a lot on his plate right now and he has been in pain and is more interested in finishing the CM7 Port instead. I respect his decision, but so many people want honeycomb working on our tabs. So I am turning to the dev community here to see if we can group together and fix things in this rom together. If we cant solve the major bugs, lets address all the little things, cuz the little things add up.
Spacemoose made a list of suggestions from users earlier on how to solve minor issues, and little workarounds, but I would like to see if there is a way to roll up those fixes into one full updated ROM flashable through a zip/odin/heimdall file, and see if we can come up with more. You can see this post here, but I have added them to the second post as well in a more organized form.

I would really love a Honeycomb ROM for the Galaxy Tab. There are many reasons why I want to put Honeycomb onto the original Galaxy Tab.
Just see the difference for yourself: Blank space, single pane, one-category-at-a-time menus in Gingerbread
VS.
Less blank space, concise, dual pane interfaces in Honeycomb.
Gingerbread apps are just designed for smaller smartphone screens, so they look too big and spaced-out on the 7-inch Galaxy Tab for my taste. I would really love to see some tablet-optimized apps on the Galaxy Tab!

And yes, I respect the developers and appreciate them so much for the time they put into making custom roms a reality for us!

Why no mention of ssserpentine?
In op or thread tittle?
He worked on the GSM version.
Moose did the major part of the port and the cdma version.
That other person stumbled, or so he claims, on a audio fix. Never saw a release of this apparent audio fix.
Wonder how many donations he got on open thread with no release posted.
Hmm.
Makes ya wonder why that thread is even there.
Dole out the credits properly.
Just know it needed to be said, and go ahead and get mad. Truth hurts.
alot of angry responces coming, maybe, but dare ya to point out a single lie in this post. Even an exaggeration.
Moose did hc for MONTHS and noone offered any valid help, except ssserpentine, why do you think anyone is gonna get off their but now?
Why don't you, punkrock?
Cause I know how utterly hopeless this task is.
Why don't you all just wait for the leak of the next os?
That so much closer than some random Joe, or Joe's on xda getting hc ported at this point .
is the dead horse braised yet?
Still, hope is eternal, I suppose

Easy man, in my frenzy of trying to organize the thread, I forgot to credit Ssserpentine in the OP, youre right he did contribute a lot, no need to be rash, I will update it right now.
EDIT: btw oldmacnut did make an audio fix, im running his rom right now, I downloaded it when he had it posted before he took it down, and Im sure some of the bugs I mentioned are fixable on the rom level rather than through adb. My goal wasnt to debug the rom completely, it was to incorporate all the existing bug fixes and workarounds into one rom, while possibly solving others. Also the GSM devs are aplenty here, while we barely have any CDMA, Im sure we have enough talent to make it better than what it is. It might not be flawless, but Im sure we can squeeze more functionality out of it.
Its weird,
Honeycomb is more or less froyo based, obviously as we had hc long before gb, so at the time when I started getting into this whole dev thing hc/froyo seemed just different to me.
But after working on the abortion called gingerbread, and working onbthe kernel stuff, froyo to me, is starting to look like a much more viable and dev friendly option.
Alot if the work Dan did in hc was from scratch, or from the sdk, etc. The audio fix I did was from both.
The big issue on getting hc up and going into a usuable rom is source, we really really need that source for hc. Otherwise, its going to be a long drawn out road of trial and error building with alot of these issues never really getting fixed.
Truth is,
No device with our hardware exists with hc, so no drivers that we need.
We need Google to release the hc source.
I liked hc on my tab just like y'all, but.......I know its just a novel weekend fun toy till we get better resources.

Yeah I know, the lack of source sucks along with the fact we dont have drivers. I dont think we'll have everything working anytime soon at all, if ever even, but I think some of the minor annoyances like the disappearing quick settings toggle, sdcard mounting issues, and graphical errors can be solved without that kind of stuff. Me personally, Id just like HQ Video Playback and 3D Graphics working a hundred percent along with orientation, but as you said no drivers so idk how easy that'd be. Still, Im sure we could solve some of these minor issues. I keep browsing over the Nook Color Forums trying to find hints to solving some of these things

Nice to see something happening here. I love my Tab but would like some advancements in OS to address specific issues. I am very new to the dev side of the Android OS but would like to get involved.

What blows my mind is that they have created an almost perfect HC port for the $150.00 walmart sold viewsonic g-tablet by means of the flashback roms so why is it so hard to get HC working on our tabs? And why can't someone just dump the Rom from the gtab10.1 and use that as a starting point?
On a different note, the alpha 2.5 HC Rom for gsm, the sd cards will not mount no matter what, I've tried The terminal and the mount instructions many times all I am able to do is get the tab to recognize my external sd as the internal sd, and if you try to go to settings applications and clear data for the gallery you get a force close as soon as you tap manage applications

If it were that simple I'm sure someone would have thought of that To be honest I think the problem is that the Tab is an extremely fractured device; it was really the first Android tablet to directly compete with the iPad, so it was spread as wide as possible. That's great for Samsung who got a pretty large base of customer but sucks for devs because the GSM and CDMA are 2 very different devices not to mention the P-1000N. When I got my Tab last month the first thing I noticed in this forum was the fragmentation between the different versions of Tabs. More profoundly this means that the developers are split apart, usually when one dev makes a break through everyone else can take advantage of it (i.e. the amazing Voodoo Sound/Color hacks) but not here. I feel like everyone is by themselves and I truly feel bad for the developers because they must make their own breakthroughs on top of dealing with complaints from Tab users with other versions that they want this awesome thing on their Tab. As if its no big deal to go and buy a $450 device to develop something as a hobby and then release it for free for people on the internet after already buying nearly the exact same device.
Sadly I think the Tab is a perfect storm working against modifying it in any ground breaking ways. Don't get me wrong I love my Tab and will try to help getting Honeycomb running but I almost feel like it would just be easier to wait for Ice Cream Sandwhich. /rant
Guys, there is no reason to develop honeycomb, it is inposible to make fully functional honeycomb rom, wait a month or less for ICS, read this (quote from android police posted today):
Honeycomb is closed source. Nobody can make a tablet without Google's blessing. The reason given is that Honeycomb was rushed out the door, and the code isn't good enough for an open source release. They're right you know, setting the emulator to anything smaller than a tablet will result in about a million force closes. Honeycomb just isn't as supportive of hardware as Gingerbread was. To save developers the headache of supporting a platform that wasn't ready, Android's openness got shelved.
Luckily this is going to change. The big cheese said so himself on the Official Android Developers blog, "This temporary delay does not represent a change in strategy. We remain firmly committed to providing Android as an open source platform across many device types." Source code is coming back. This will make the modding community's life much easier. Cyanogenmod 8 (I got excited just typing that) and Ice Cream Sandwich will be able to get hacked onto just about anything.

More profoundly this means that the developers are split apart, usually when one dev makes a break through everyone else can take advantage of it (i.e. the amazing Voodoo Sound/Color hacks) but not here. I feel like everyone is by themselves and I truly feel bad for the developers because they must make their own breakthroughs on top of dealing with complaints from Tab users with other versions that they want this awesome thing on their Tab. As if its no big deal to go and buy a $450 device to develop something as a hobby and then release it for free for people on the internet after already buying nearly the exact same device.
Sadly I think the Tab is a perfect storm working against modifying it in any ground breaking ways. Don't get me wrong I love my Tab and will try to help getting Honeycomb running but I almost feel like it would just be easier to wait for Ice Cream Sandwhich. /rant

Wow now that is the kinda posts i like seeing on here! I will try to update the OP tonight with this info! Thanks so much! Definitely echo your sentiments about the fractured and fragmented development we have going on here, it really sucks =/
Ive found out that replacing the existing Gallery with Gallery3D should fix the FC that keeps popping up.
I think Ive found a working Youtube App (in LQ).
Ive also found a hint towards solving the sdcard mounting issue. Its not the vold.fstab its something either in the framework or ramdisk within the kernel, according to the Nook Color Forums.
This thread is interesting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062626 , actually the entire nook color forum is interesting for finding fixes.
Also changing the dalvik_heapsize to a certain value is supposed to increase app compatibility. Before I update the OP with some of these things, I wanna do a little more testing and see what I can come up with.
Sorry to bother for help,
Sorry to bother you guys for help, but I've been trying to install Oldmacnut's updated of Spacemoose's CDMA Honeycomb (2.5.1) for hours now, with no success.
I used Rodderick's awesome stock rom/kernel and got into clockworkmod (using 4.0.1.5 or 3.0.0.0), installed the zip from there, then rebooted the phone, but I would either 1) be stuck at logo for 10+ minutes 2) see the Sprint startup video loop over and over again, or 3) get stuck on a turned on, but black screen.
How did you guys install Honeycomb on your CDMA tab? Am I doing something wrong? Should I use Spacemoose's 2.5 rom instead of Oldmacnut's?
EDIT: NEVER MIND, IT BOOTED INTO HONEYCOMB. I am in a foreign language, haha, I'm guessing Portuguese?
EDIT EDIT: Google Translate detects the language as Catalan. Haha!

Hehe that happened to me as well
First Impressions and problems encountered
HOLY SHOOT THIS IS QUITE FAST!
Considering there is no graphics acceleration support, Honeycomb runs much faster than I anticipated. SD card support is fantastic, and so is hearing sound! (I love you OMC) The UI is awetastic and the standard web browser is blazing fast. Scrolling in web pages is faster on Honeycomb than on Gingerbread stock.
The jittery touch screen bug I have is still there, unfortunately. Damn bug drives me crazy sometimes. I'm sure somebody has this problem that many of us have but have not found a fix to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970965
Basically, when I hold down my finger to scroll on white or light-color backgrounds, the screen shakes back and forth in a spastic, noticeable way, especially when I hold it in place. This happens on every single rom I've been on, froyo, GB, CM7, and now Honeycomb. Has anyone found a fix for that yet?
Anyways, I think all the known Honeycomb bugs are true to me too. Youtube force closes on me, GPS doesn't work, auto-orientation doesn't work. Strangely enough, Quick Settings doesn't work for me. Anyone encounter that?

Themes: Will they look different on the 10?

Aside from the stickers which don't interest me, will themes look different on the 10? Or exactly the same as on the m8, m9?
I was particularly interested in the 'switches' in settings, the Quick Tiles, and the contacts/dialer.
I've only seen video of the stickers so far. Not a single reviewer seems to have tried a theme and then moved around the UI.
The UI has changed quite a bit. The strings menu now comes in the known and nearly stock Android look and contact pictures on the list view of the respective App are round instead of squares to name some of them.

Well I was sad to get a reply on reddit from a dude with the phone saying the themes don't change the colors/switches in the settings menu. See here:

Wish themes changed things like status bar icons, I'm not a big fan of Sense Wifi icons lol
Yes petty but im way too used to stock.
Regardless HTC's theme engine as I thought, looks lackluster in comparison to say Touchwiz's, which changes more elements of the UI e.g. menu's, notifcation tray etc

Well @sykopompos said this a while back in the google+ layers community...
"If any of you run across marshmallow OEM roms (not nexus or Android one, these are aosp) or get one for your device (I know the g4 has one out there), post them up.
Make a dump of the system, if you don't know how, just ask (be prepared to use adb)
Since layers works on stock marshmallow natively, it should work on any OEM marshmallow rom (besides cm obviously) and chances are high that the resources might be different and themes could be made/modified to work with these OEM Roms.
We are only interested in marshmallow Roms though since they will have full native support and the changes Google made in marshmallow."
Hopefully somebodys needs to get him a dump!

So we need to get a system dump, give it to him, and hope it looks promising
EDIT: what @King p1n said lol
