How to change sharpness/contrast? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I decided to get an LG3 and so far I am pretty satisfied. However I can't change the contrast/sharpness. I am getting the feeling that this is intentional. Or am I missing something?

Man... I was hoping G3Tweaks would fix that, but alas it doesn't. Is there any other way? May a good app?

We would need a custom kernel before that would be possible.

Okay, thanks for the great help. I hope we get a custom kernel soon then.

Strange - a couple of people said you could adjust it but I don't see any settings for that either.

HTC Flashlight app in new Foyo w/Sense

does anyone know where i can score the apk for this bad boy? i played with it in the new froyo port (very nice job) and i want it now. thanks in advance.
I use a widget called "LED Light" from the markplace, has the same look and feel as the HTC 4G, Wifi, etc widgets.. not sure if that's what you meant or not.
if you downloaded Avas (or Heros i believe) sense 2.2 ROM, you can grab the apk out of the zip.

yeah, i have that one now too but once you try the HTC Flashlight app you will see why i want it so bad.
Thanks for the suggestions, that app works great!
If someone pulls the apk, would they mind linking it here? That would be particularly nice of them .

My favorite is LED Desire Light. It has the brightest setting I've seen so far, and can even transmit messages via the flash light in morse code. In case.. you know... you are trapped somewhere and can't make calls.... and can...
Ahh forget it. Anyways, it comes with a widget. Tap for on, tap for off. I love it.

Touche good sir...
App works awesome, love the interface
I am getting an error on my EVO when I try to install the apk that this is not supported.
OK got it. Missed step to use Astro to install it. Great app!
just installed led desire light and the flashlight.apk
definitely cool to have multiple levels of brightness. And of course, you know that morse code ability will come in handy one of these days....

Camera CM7

The camera on cm7 does not seem to really take amazing pictures in the 8mp mode. Is there an app that can enhance this or is this just how it is? Also is there a ROM anyone recommends that is good for picture taking?

updated my post with a flashable zip
make sure you do a back up before you flash because it will replace you stock cam. if you dont like it you can just restore.
also check and make sure auto focus is off by pressing menu and then settings.

TBH, I've found the MIUI ROM faster as a whole than CM7. Use a different launcher and it's like CM7 but fewer settings/faster.

The thing about miui was it was overwhelmingly iphone like. I really didn't like how the settings menu itself was laid out being like an iphone and it was really bright and vibrant i like that cm7 can be dark including the messaging.

Bad reviews are from those who didn't realize they had to set it up and not just install it. It's NOT great but it works.. I notice today using Tunein Radio that it wouldn't start until I turned blockit off.
Frankly I'll be happier with root then I can go back to my better ad blockers.

I can attempt it. But I'm going to need some files from your mi 9 se which requires root. If you have root. Please give these files :
mixer_path_mtp.xml
mixer_payh_tavil.xml
It's ok if you only have one of the above.

It's a bit hard to find the lines to edit, in the earpiece section, change RX0 Digital Volume. But you also have to change RX0 Digital Volume on the upper page is the file. I'll attach some screenshots.
Here they are
thanks, man.
but i have to say.. the upper speaker is barely listenable.. it's just a little bit of support.. no real volume. perhaps it's just not potentional enough

Redmi Note 8 pro Netflix can't play HD content.

I just got this phone today and found out that it could not play anything in Netflix in HD. In "test patterns", it only maxes out at 540p with a really low bit rate.
I have done numurous research on different versions of Netflix, but none really worked, not even the modded ones for the Poco phone F1 originally.
The Redmi note 8 pro has widevine L1 and is supposed to play Netflix in HD with no problem, but it couldn't. Anyone has a solution to this problem? And would this problem be solved? I really don't want to wait like how the Poco phone users waited 4 months for that widevine update.
Thanks in advance.

Kodi is one of the best mediaplayer...(previously called xbmc)

As I haven't Netflix account, I can't test...
Tried Netflix through Kodi, still only got 540 resolution.. even though I checked 4k etc.
Any solutions other than that?
We really need to get more people to know about this problem so the developers could fix this asap, is a serious problem
How did you check the resolution? I want to test mine
