I am looking for people who know what they are doing and want to make a rom with me. If you are interested in doing this with me please pm me and i will respond. I dont really know where to start with a rom so i need people who know how to do the technical stuff. I am hoping to make a pretty kick ass rom. Please pm me if interested!!!!!!
[Vibrant General] TricH:
Really? Nobody wants to make a rom with me?
[Vibrant General] pulser_g2:
Ummm...

You want to make a ROM with people. But you want people to do the technical stuff. Sounds like you don't know how to do it, and just want someone to do it, while you get your name involved. Seems like you need to spend a LOT of time reading stickies and guides, and then re-reading them. Then reading other ones. Then re-reading those again. Then re-reading them. Then... (you get the picture)...

You're going to get flamed a lot, I would imagine, so I'll close this.

Making a ROM is about reading for several weeks or months, then practising for several weeks or months. Don't expect to be releasing a ROM soon. And remember there's a good incentive here to learn properly - it's your device you'll be testing it on first...

[General Questions and Answers] androidfeen809:
I've seen many phone screens but so far the sharpest crisper phone screen I've seen is the sidekick lx 09, followed by the iphone 4 and the tmobile G2 and the nexus one. The reason for being that the sidekick has 854 x 480 resolution in a 3.2" screen.

The iphone has a 640 x 960 resolution in a 3.5" screen about the same resolution but the sidekick has more pixels per inches because its a smaller screen than the iphone.

Tmobile G2 and the nexus one with a 480 x 800 resolution are the sharpest screens I've seen after the sidekick lx 09 and iphone 4.

What are the sharpest crisper cellphone screens you've seen so far?

Really? The G2 and Nexus one? Yeesh... First would have to be iphone 4 though the screens too tiny for my taste. From there I'd say the Samsung Focus, then the Dell Venue Pro, from there it's all downhill... I don't think android really shows the beauty of a screen properly or I'd put the Galaxy S line somewhere on there... probably along-side the focus.
[General Questions and Answers] androidfeen809:
Galaxy s phone screens aren't shraper than the G2, they have less pixels per inches, and I don't like the super amoled either. And have you seen the sidekick lx 09? Its belive to be rank as the sharpest screen in the world because is so small and has so many pixels per inches. The screen is ****in gorgeous, iphone 4 is nice too

PPI is no big deal to me especially considering the difference in screen size and the fact that nothing looks sharp on an HTC LCD screen. The lx 09 I guess has a decent screen but for a tiny non-touchscreen screen that doesnt really mean much... iPhone 4 has an awesome display, just too small a phone and too ugly a UI for me...
[General Questions and Answers] androidfeen809:
Super lcd has is the sharpest after retina display on touchscreen phones, the super amoled isn't as sharp as the G2's screen. And to add that the colors on the super amoled look over saturated no natural colors, only thing the super amoled got on the super lcd is the blacks lol the only thing super amoled got better than lcds. I don't understand what yu mean by that htc screens aren't sharp?

Sent from my T-Mobile G2
[General Questions and Answers] z33dev33l:
The no natural colors argument is an excuse for lack of quality. The vibrancy of AMOLED and SAMOLED looks much more natural than the washed out colors of HTCs LCD screens... If by sharp you mean PPI then I'm sure I could get a phone with a 3 inch screen that owned any of those... However for all visual purposes AMOLED looks best with SAMOLED in a close second (SAMOLED puts a blue hue on white colors that I dislike) then in distant last is LCD screens. I'm watching the same show same episode of smallville on an HD7, a Dell Venue Pro, and a Samsung Focus right now. The Focus and the DVP are right on par with each other, the HD7 is trailing... I mean the Focus has 223 PPI which unless you're holding the phone less than a foot from your face is hardly discernible and the DVP is at 228, again barely discernible. There really isnt much difference between that and the 256 of the g2 and with that you sacrifice screen size and get caught on an LCD screen... no thanks.

I love how this is just a hate thread. I'd prefer to read something other than this hateful garbage. WAHH WAHH HTC PHONZ SUKS KAWS I GOTZ AMOLED. Perhaps the iPhone and G2 ARE sharper quality physically, but the human eye can barely distinguish. My screen looks beautiful whether you agree or not.

I was talking about the super amoled which you agree sucks with white colors, and not only that but it has a greenish tinge on yellows that looks very unatural, I haven't seen an amoled screen, I only seen OLED and SAMOLED, my cousin got the epic and super LCD has way more natural colors, look at the youtube video comparison and you'll see what I'm talking about and remember to YOU it looks better than SLCD not to me, it all depends on what looks better to you I personally don't think colors are washed out like you claim on SLCDs, however I think colors are over saturated on SAMOLED. Thank god htc can't implement SAMOLED displays on htc devices hopefully they'll keep SLCD since samsung is the only one that makes SAMOLED :)

[General Questions and Answers] androidfeen809:
What phone do you have? And which screen you like better SAMOLED or SLCD?, and listen some might think Samoled has better colors but who cares IMO, and probably yours too, SAMOLED is does not have better colors, we all have different taste and opinions, and SLCD out of all I've seen is the best, its natural in colors, reds doesn't look like. Orange or like they're bleeding and yellows don't look greenish, it is very sharp and has great brightness, if it only had the blacks the SAMOLED has it would be the perfect screen, but still I could give two cents for how black are the blacks.

Sent from my T-Mobile G2
[General Questions and Answers] z33dev33l:
I agree that it looks pretty nice... I personally prefer AMOLED over the alternatives Super LCD included. SAMOLED is a little out there but I'll take that over devices with the basic LCD screen that most devices are still harboring. I mean all in all it's not a huge difference between most devices but AMOLED and things like that... they just appeal more to me. The colors even though they can be almost cartoony are still visually enthralling. AMOLED is good, Super LCD would take second, from there I'd say amoled, oled, then LCD. Pixel density is hardly visible to the naked eye so as long as it's not just terrible it's all about the type of screen... this is all just my opinion though.

I understand, you like more vibrant colors while I like more neutral not that vibrant or not washed out, we all have different taste so we can't say one is better than the other because its all base looks and on opinions. Just like some people like strawberries some don't lol

Agreed, I think my distaste for the washed out colors is because a heavy portion of Windows Phone 7 is black and blacks are not too good on LCD screens as you mentioned earlier.

I like Super Amoled actually, nevertheless, I will wait for WP 7 phones from Nokia.

They will throw the Clear Black Displays in them, I reckon. And the clear black displays were proven to be the best in a GSM Arena review.

BTW, I don't like Nokia, but I always go for the best.
[General Questions and Answers] androidfeen809:
Yea that's the problem I got with SAMOLED screens too, and its all about personal taste you can't really say what screen technology is the best, but the thread was targetted at the screen sharpness not screen technology or vibrancy so I agree with you on touch screen smartphones, the iphone 4 has the best screen sharpness up to date, and I know no one can argue about this.

[General Questions and Answers] somewhatdog:
Interesting to find this topic as I got into a fairly heated debate about this earlier.

One of the players of my game has complained the background image is too vivid and made it hard to play. I checked his device and he was running a Droid Incredible which I think has an AMOLED display???

Those handsets are rare here (UK) so I checked the game on a Galaxy S (also AMOLED) and I can see what he means - the problem is that when I toned-it-downit looks washed-out on a regular handset (such as my Desire).

It's hard to know what to do with that - the vibrancy and depth of the AMOLED screens is wonderful BUT developers are probably not developing/testing on those screens and they're turning-up-the-colors for regular displays (at least I did!!)

The Developer Stats make the Galaxy S twice as popular as the next-most-popular phone tho so perhaps I need to tone it down...
[General Questions and Answers] Step666:
Unless you had a later Desire handset with an S-LCD screen, your phone should've had the same AMOLED panel as his Incredible...
[General Questions and Answers] somewhatdog:
The Droid Incredible is US exclusive I think? so I can't really compare hence my seeking out the Galaxy S which I know has a MUCH brighter/more vivid screen.

My Desire is over a year old now so - according to Wikipedia - I should have AMOLED - that means the Galaxy S is SuperAMOLED then???

Maybe my complaining Droid owner just needs to wear shades - but certainly the difference between the Desire and Galaxy S is really really marked in terms of things like background images etc and I was assuming that was his issue...

Hey ho!
[General Questions and Answers] Step666:
Yes.

But it was basically just a version of the Desire for Verizon in the states, except with a better camera. Both handsets were built round the same 3.7" AMOLED screen.

And yes, the Galaxy S uses an sAMOLED panel as opposed to the AMOLED in your Desire.

But if memory serves, the 'super' part is only really supposed to relate to the sunlight legibility - they're built with far less gap between the panels and the top layer of the screen, thus reducing glare.

I don't see how this debate got heated earlier it started very good, and is goin well so far, we were making different points on different screen technology.

[General Questions and Answers] somewhatdog:
I didn't say this debate was heated - my 'discussions' with people (offline) were ;)

The difference between my Desire and a Galaxy S is really noticeable and not just in sunlight (massive difference) but even in the gloomy pub where I met the Galaxy S owner. There's a level of vibrance and clarity which the Desire is missing and it's really noticeable in games which mix-up backgrounds and get 'busy' visually.

That said, his phone has no screen protector (mine does) and it's 10 months newer but still...

I'm quite happy with my Legends screen. AMOLED with regular RGB matrix.
[General Questions and Answers] androidfeen809:
You are actually right, the amoled lost the battle in terms of sharpness, I saw the comparison between an amoled and SLCD and SLCD won on sharpness and color definition according to HTC.

"Another noticeable difference is that this SLCD has a warmer tone and --to our surprise --better color definition than our AMOLED, even though the latter panel produces darker blacks (as the black pixels don't transmit any light at all). Both of these findings are presumably the side effects of AMOLED's larger red and blue subpixels (with blue ones being the largest of the three colors), and consequently, we get a more faithful color reproduction from SLCD. We then compared viewing angles and concluded that AMOLED and SLCD respectively owned the side-way test and vertical test, but the dead zones were so negligible that most people wouldn't notice them."

I've tried with Leedroid and InsertCoinHD ROMs with same problem.

I've tried it myself
[Fascinate Android Development] ezas:
Thanks for writing such a thorough and easy to follow guide. I want to add a few points based on my own experiences.

Usual disclaimer, not responsible for what you do to your phone.

There is a step short of going all the way back to DI01 and that is flashing a Full Stock EB01 engineering test build. Here is the thread at Android Central:

http://forum.androidcentral.com/ver...faq-plus-stock-unrooted-rooted-downloads.html

(I searched for the file here at XDA but couldn't find it)

After following this guide to return to DI01 build and you still have problems you can go a step further and do what is being called by some a 'deep clean'.

Boot into red recovery. Do the usual reset/wipe/wipe

Then under 'mounts and storage' you format boot, system, data, and dbdata.

Do NOT format sdcard or sd-ext if you want to keep your data (pictures, videos, files to flash, etc)

Make sure you have anything you want to flash on your SD card before doing this step.

Because you won't be able to boot your phone to side load files to your sd card.

Then follow whatever instructions you want to push via odin or flash via CWM

(Credit to Gunnermike53 over at AC for telling me about this procedure)

This is as 'clean' as your phone is going to get short of formatting your whole SD card.

Important: If you are reflashing to Froyo (2.2) you want to make sure that the Setup Wizard doesn't try to restore all your apps. This step has a bad habit of restoring apps that you have uninstalled. This is especially important if you want to reinstall/restore apps one-by-one to identify a rouge app.

When you reboot your phone to a flavor of Froyo (its only a problem with 2.2 not 2.1), skip the step to run the Setup Wizard on first boot. Just keep hitting 'skip' and 'next' until you are at your desktop. Then go to Settings/Privacy and uncheck 'Backup my Data'. This will also disable Automatic restore (if it doesn't uncheck that as well)

But there is one more step to prevent this:

Now go to Settings/Setup Wizard and run the setup. Do the steps until it offers to backup/restore your apps reply 'no' or 'skip' I forget which it is.

Hope this is helpful. That automatic restore bit me in the A$$ once and I had to go back and start over.
