Adjust screen color - possible? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Compared to my other devices the colours are pretty flat, this has been pointed out in several reviews, too. Is there a way, an app or whatever, to adjust the color? Say as you would on a tv, or something like the on SG phones with the different picture modes?

Supercurio is working on an Nexus 7 Display Calibration app that you may be able to use for this purpose.

https://plus.google.com/communities/103123288128442067861 Here's the google+ group, the alpha application is really barebones and doesn't allow you to adjust saturation right now but he's been making good progress over the last month or two. Just follow that as he'll post when he has a new version available (or beta/final versions)

(Q) Alternative to Widgetsoid?

It seems this Widgetsoid has been abandoned. The battery info switch doesn't display the correct battery info from the setting.
I contacted the author and got no answer.
So what do you use for toggle settings widget?
Widgetsoid was very good and powerful btw.

It works yes, but if I click it, I got the phone info from the settings.
And not the battery details information.
Extended Controls is not compatible with ICS yet, I read on it's market entry. They are working on it though.

Exactly, especially because I paid for it. Well, for such an inexpensive price, I won't complain much. But this kind of developer attitude make me sad.

FWIW, if you visit the dev's Facebook and Twitter pages, he mentioned this week that updates are on hold because his computer crashed and took his source code with it. He's trying to find a backup, but in the meantime it might be worth a try to contact him via either of those for help with the battery info issue.
Ok, hope he will update soon ...
Great to know it wasn't abandoned!

I use Notification Toggle. It also looks nice with the ICS blue. I paid for extended controls but havent used it in so long ever since Gingerbread.....too many bugs. Quicker is another good app ive used but i like a set of toggles that mimics touchwiz and/or cyanogenmod and this app does that nicely.

I purchased extended controls too. Its a good app.
I've tried several, 'extended control', 'widgetsoid' and switchpro:
- ec and widgetsoid can use notification bar
- none of them can activate the flash
- none of them can activate the gps, only redirect to the settings page, widgetsoid developer states in the facebook page that is an ICS security limitation but official widget is able to activate/desactivate the gps!
- only ec can activate/desactivate wifi tethering
- battery status is ok
- all of them are resizable with BRD Launcher at 241 DPI but not of all them can be installed directly from the market
Until GPS problem is fixed i'm keeping the official widgets

Someone needs to tell him that data doesn't exist unless it is in two places.

You're welcome. Yes, thanks to the flexibility of Android it scales perfectly fine and at least on a 7" tablet the experience is just as good as on the phone, but with slightly more content.

Which is exactly what got me to patch the apk to remove that check. They should really have filtered it out using the Play Store filters instead if they didn't want tablet users.
Honestly, except for the multiple account support, I do believe that Falcon Pro is a better option..

I questioned them about this and their response was because they wanted to allow "larger phones" the ability to download.
I'm trying both Falcon and Carbon right now. I haven't decided which I prefer. I'm not a huge Twitter user.

I designed this app to work on Mobiles, filtering it through Play Store would filter some of the big phones, that was our doubt.
I designed it, and I can tell, that it's an awkward app to be used on a Tablet. I did announce (I'm still not allowed to post links here since I haven't passed 10 posts yet) that we're working on a Tablet app. Check our page on Google+ (+CarbonAndroid)

Come on, after months and months of "developing", still no widget, no tablet support? Yes, you say you are working on a tablet app, but considering how long the phone app took, which is no more than a beta, it looks like a heck of a long time to wait for possible vaporware, especially considering the history of this app.

I agree that it probably doesn't work that well on 10" tablets but the experience on the Nexus 7 in portrait mode is good. Also, I assumed people using the modified app also used your app on their phone in most cases which means that no extra API token is taken up, unlike the included multi-user feature. I patched the app for my personal use but since people requested it I posted it here.
I honestly fail to see what your problem is with this. XDA users post patched APKs all the time to remove arbitrary limitations (Hulu, Netflix and Swype to name a few). If/when you release a tablet app, even a paid one, the interest for this will go away if the experiance is better. I'd be willing to remove the link to the patched APK when you release the tablet version. Until then, this is the only way for tablet users to enjoy your work.

Just a heads up, the "ultra pixel" is a type of camera. It's hardware, not software.

I know it's hardware but it was showed in portal news, someone modified another camera app to compress 8mp photos to 2mp. Same pixel count but smaller image. So that's making difference in photo quality. That's what I mean by ultra pixel

You can modify the Vignette application and it will work. Done that and tried on Nexus 4 but I sucks in telling what is a good image and what is bad so I cannot tell the different much.
The other features would be also great.

I'm not a dev, maybe someone work on it. I pushed apk to system too, as it's based on aosp, I think these features are not imposslible for us. We need to get some attraction from devs :fingers-crossed:
That work for me but I have always a better photo with stock Camera app...

[Q] any body else having this problem?

When I visit a site, (especially xda) with the new nexus 7 it keeps refreshing constantly, like it'll load the page up but after like 10sec it'll refresh the whole page I think it might be the ads causing it to do it but its just a guess.
I'm Using chrome.
Yup I think its to do with the ads on xda, I just downloaded the app from the play store, solved that issue, but it really needs to be fixed, I made a post about it yesterday, its extremely irrigating
