[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okorn_:
Being part of Europa I imagine you get Exynos & Super AMOLED Plus.

Cant you just order from UK?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWarKeeper:
Well, i would like to buy it from a local store here instead, if something is wrong with it i could easelly trade but a shipment from uk will prolly take a few weeks to arrive and then to send it back will be a pain.
[EVO 4G General] Blackcircle:
I replaced the loud speaker on my evo with an oem i ordered online. It was a very easy fix and everything is good now. As I was putting in the new speaker I started to think of how good my TP2 sounded when I used the loud speaker. It just had a nice crisp sound that I havent been able to get out of my Evo. I searched and found a TP2 replacement and from what I can see, it looks just like it! I am about to order one to try it just wanted to get some feedback on this before i waste money. Why is the sound on tp2 better? Thanks.

[EVO 4G General] mobius999:
Wouldn't the case itself make a difference in this? The TP2 had a pretty open back panel to allow sound to pass through. Or at least I remember that being the case. All the holes could have been fake. I gave mine to a family member when I got my Evo so can't check.

Might be a better speaker, but I doubt it will ever sound as good.
[EVO 4G General] Blackcircle:
You are probably right. I gave mine away also and havent looked at one in a while. Thanks.

[EVO 4G General] cor4twenty:
Tp2 had two speakers from what i remember
[EVO 4G General] bill875:
It looks like that site has a minimum quantity required for ordering items. Is there a way around that or are you going to order the minimum and resell them?
[EVO 4G General] Blackcircle:
I must have missed that. I was only using the site to show the photo. I will find it somewhere else.

[EVO 4G General] Blackcircle:
If thats the case i guess that kills the idea then.

via EVO.
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
They both use the same parts...same thing with the headset speaker
[EVO 4G General] Blackcircle:
So I guess mobius999 was right then. It is the back cover that makes all the difference.

[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
Yuppers...different cases produce different soubds
[EVO 4G General] monkeybone12:
The sound doesn't look like it travels directly out of the speaker from what I saw when I took my 0003 apart, that plastic gasket makes me thing an attempt to "BOSE" it up...
[EVO 4G General] dafunk60:
Touch Pro 2 | TP2 | Rhodium | Speaker

I'm not sure if the TP2 has 2 speakers or just 2 speaker ports, but sound is definitely emitted from both holes to the left & right of the camera. (see attached photos) I can confirm it sounds much, much better than my Evo, it is louder and reproduces a wider range of frequencies.

It looks like sound quality on the Evo may have been sacrificed for the dual flash. (TP2 always took horrible photos for me.) If the TP2 and Evo share the same single speaker, the improvements are likely attributable to the case. Perhaps some modifications to the speaker / camera housing and the battery cover could yield an improvement.

If the current speaker porting on the Evo restricts airflow excessively it would lower the volume and could cause additional stress on the speaker itself causing them to fail prematurely and / or sound like crap. I am no expert in this specific speaker technology but at a basic level there is a physical mechanism moving which in turn moves the air (aka sound). If the air flow is constricted it will provide increased resistance against the speaker.
[EVO 4G General] digiblur:
From what I remember the TP2 had two speakers. Not for stereo but for different ranges...one was lows and the other was highs. You could cover up each speaker while music was playing and hear the difference as you moved your finger from speaker to speaker.
[EVO 4G General] Blackcircle:
This is exactly what I gathered after reading some of peoples input including yours. Even if the speakers are the same, I don't think it will make a difference. The back cover and housing are the key I think. Im going to play around with it this weekend see what I can come up with.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrichards2009:
Doesn't it suck running CM7/Vegan CE without it? What are the drawbacks to not having it? Other then a low quadrant... lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] southpaw773:
from t-mobile's specs on the phone it mentions:

"DTS Ultra Mobile™, which includes two innovative audio technologies – DTS Envelo™ and DTS Boost™ – for a premium surround sound experience. When listening to music or playing games on the T-Mobile G2x, customers will enjoy rich, enhanced sound that adds depth, dimension and volume levels that are robust without distortion."

so this is just something built in? anyway to control it? i did not see it anywhere in menus or apps or processes. hmmm
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mapin0518:
Yep, there's a button in the music player to turn it on while you are listening to music. meh, i guess it works, nothing amazing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsauce75:
Is there any way to use in spotify or any other app for the matter? Or is it only possible to use it in the default music player?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] himmelhauk:
It works well! There's a major difference in the loudness when you turn it on. Turn it off, and it gets much quieter.

No, it's only in the stock music and video players that you can utilize it, at least for the time being.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Adam7986:
No, it's only in the stock music and video players that you can utilize it, at least for the time being.[/QUOTE]

True. I haven't tried it on WinAmp's player yet, but it is not accessible through Power Amp. I will say though, with Power Amp EQ settings, my music sounded awesome through the device, good enough to stop carrying my iPod touch.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Edub85:
I have cm7 on mine, is there anyway to get the dts to work again? If not is there a way to put the stock player back on it and still have cm7?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] seamonkey420:
same boat as you, would love the LG Video Player in CM7

been wondering about this forever. only thing that i don't like about CM7 and EB is the lack of the LG Video Player, audio player i could care less about but the video player i like :)

add me to the list of those wanting this for the CM7 GB roms :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] adevilfish:
The DSP Manager app in cm7 and associated GB roms blows away the dts function.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Edub85:
But can I get the left speaker working with that?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
That's a microphone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] seamonkey420:
still not the video player though. no thumbnails of videos w/the cm7 stock one. i messed w/the dsp manager on a few roms and i've had some off and on weirdness w/custom ringtones when using it w/the speaker at times.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] donutman:
No it doesn't. I've tried all presets and even did my own tinkering, doesn't match up to DTS on the stock player. I believe DTS if only available in the g2x version of this one.

Anyone have the stock music player. That's the one thing I'm missing from cm7.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jonnyboyca:
you will notice a difference with headphones and dts enabled
[T-Mobile LG G2x] adevilfish:
yeah i really loved all the options available with DTS like turn on or turn off, it's awesome
[T-Mobile LG G2x] garzonetto:
I agree. I miss the dts function. Though CM7 has dsp options, out is not as easy as dts.. I would be happy with just mimicking the dts settings. If anyone can just figure out how dts changed the sound profile for the g2x, it would make me very happy.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
You obviously haven't used a voodoo kernel yet.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fadownjoo:
Voodoo is only for headphones on our phones isnt it?..and even then it only increases volume, which is useless because volume on headphones can already go louder than nessecary..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Psyrecx:
Well, that and by default the phone is already set to the maximum gain that voodoo will allow :/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] maks87:
it would be great if i can have the default video player with DTS feature(zip or an apk) that i can install on my G2X after flashing a custom rom
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
Lololololol, you thought it was a speaker?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Hahahaha.....
[LG Optimus 2x] mandude:
Ok so I was about 98% set on purchasing the G2x/O2x but then realized it had a WVGA screen. Isnt that outdated?

I really liked the Galaxy S and above because of the SUPER AMOLED. I have an MP3 player with that screen (Cowon) and its great looking.

I am looking for comparison, if WVGA is fine and bright, perhaps comparison in sunlight, etc. I thought AMOLED was the next big thing and all phones would have it.
[LG Optimus 2x] dohanin:
WVGA is the screen size, mate. It means 800x480.

For the screen, yes, it is not AMOLED which is brilliant to display black color but poor in direct sunlight. It is supposedly more engergy saving (but then you need to increase the brightness in sunlight)

The TFT IPS LCD that Optimus 2X has is very good indeed in my opinion.
[LG Optimus 2x] Acti666:
Personally i prefer the screen on the O2X, i don't like the colors on the Amoled, not realistic at all
[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
The IPS screen on O2x are brighter, sharper and with better colours than Amoled - its also better in the sun and have as good viewing angles as Amoled. The only thing where Amoled are slightly better is pure black. It's the same type of screen as the Iphone4 (actually its LG that manufactures the screen for Iphone4 to Apple) - except the Iphone4 screen has higher resolution.

You wont be disappointed about the screen on the O2x - it is very good.
[LG Optimus 2x] jaffanz:
Mate. LG screen clarity is outstanding, sunlight, clublighting, office home you name it. I run it with auto off and at approximately 20%. So brighter is available.

You will not be disappointed.

[LG Optimus 2x] mandude:
Thank you for all the responses and clearing up. I was lookiing everywhere for the info on what the screen was, it was strange because one site just said "WVGA" for g2x and the galaxy it said AMOLED so I wasn't sure.

G2x is now still at the top of my list =) I am deciding between this and when the Galaxy S II comes out, seems like slightly better hardware, but dont know other details
[LG Optimus 2x] awf:
Indeed and amazing better as the Amoled from my HTC Desire S only the black isn't pure black in some cases but hence the vivid colors and the overall screen make up for it big time :)
[LG Optimus 2x] unfnknblvbl:
I came from the Galaxy S to the OP2X, so I can report for you :)

The Super AMOLED of the Galaxy S is nothing short of glorious. Even though it uses a "pentile grid" subpixel layout, it's crisp and bright. It's even readable in daylight.

Coming the the OP2X and its TFT LCD, I was very pleasantly surprised. The screen has great viewing angles and almost no colour warping at high angles. The blacks are really deep, so the contrast ratio is much better than I was expecting. If I hadn't experienced the SGS screen first, I'd be utterly in love with the OP2X screen. As it is, I'm 'merely' very happy with it :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Having spent 4 days using an S-LCD Nexus S, then going back to my AMOLED Nexus One, I can say that the S-LCD is miles sharper than the AMOLED. OK so you do lose out on a bit of black, but not being Pentile does make up for it.
[LG Optimus 2x] mandude:
Thanks, a viewpoint I was looking for =) I guess that eases me. Yeah I was concerned about the viewing angles, crisp of the colors and daylight viewing.
[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
Do yourself a favour and go somewhere where you can look at the O2x screen live - anyone having concerns about the screen should do that - and be pleasently surprised :)

It really is very good - high contrast, high brightness, excellent colours with no banding, excellent deep blacks (for an LCD), good viewing angles etc. - viewing pictures of real life scenarios on the screen is a treat.

It actually makes my Desire Amoled screen look slightly dull
[LG Optimus 2x] grinnerD:
I sit on a bus and can read just fine. And its been really sunny where i am at the mo.

This screen is fantastic compared to my HTC Hero lol!!
[LG Optimus 2x] marco_ch:
The screen is really nice. Im very convinced, also in bright sunlight I can read the screen well enough.
[LG Optimus 2x] fallenguru:
LCD vs OLED

I wish people would just stop using 3-4 letter abbreviations for screen resolutions. In the early days (80s and 90s) there only were a few of these abbreviations and they signified a lot more than just resolution, like color depth and graphics capabilities, but now they're just confusing. Why not just put the two numbers and save everyone the trouble of having to google what WXSDHDGA (don't bother, I just made it up ... at least, I hope so) is supposed to be.

Back on topic.

OLED

Black is really, totally black. The contrast ratio is technically infinite, but that isn't just a good thing, as it hurts my eyes in the dark. It's a bit like staring at a television in a pitch black room.

Colors are more vivid (read: oversaturated). Most people love that but to me it just looks unnatural. Like kid's toys.

The pixels will degrade rather quickly and lose brightness in the process. Since each primary color ages at a different rate your color balance will shift. You should be good for 2-3 years, though.

As long as the image displayed is mostly black or dark, it'll use less power than LCD, on bright images a lot more. Setting your background to pitch-black is a real power-saver on these devices.

Most OLED displays currently on the market use something called a PenTile matrix (see http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news...exus-ones-screen-science-color-and-hacks.ars/ or just google it), where each pixel only has 2 subpixels instead of 3. As a result pixels cannot independently display every color but need to work together with adjacent ones, which reduces the effective resolution of the display by at least 1/3. Photos and Videos still look fine, but text gets ragged colored edges and is a lot harder to read than on an LCD.

Handsets with OLED+PenTile matrix, f. ex.: Samsung Galaxy S, Nexus One

Handsets with OLED+full matrix, f. ex.: HTC Legend, Samsung Galaxy S2

LCD

You won't get black, only dark gray, because light emitted from the backlight can't be perfectly masked. As long as the display is on it will emit light.

Power usage is just dependent on the brightness setting, not on the content displayed.

AFAIK all current LCD displays have a full subpixel matrix

A lot of the rest, like color, viewing angles etc. depends on the panel type used. Usually that's TFT, which is kind of meh, the premium choice is IPS (iPhone 4 and some LG phones, like most (all?) 2x variants).

The choice between a (full matrix) OLED screen and an IPS LCD is a matter of personal choice, if you can't get either, get a TFT LCD. Personally I'd never buy anything with PenTile, but, well, some people like it so YMMV.

Going by my preferences and specs alone, the iPhone 4 currently has the best mobile display, followed by the LG Optimus Black / Speed (2x). Since I don't like iOS that would make the 2x the handset of choice, if I needed a new one right now. As it is, I'll wait for the SGS2 and see how that stacks up, first.
[LG Optimus 2x] Irishdoom:
I'm brand new to the world of Smartphones, and hence don't have much perspective, but I DO have direct experience comparing the 2 types.

I started last week with a Samsung Galaxy S 4G with the SAMOLED(+?) screen. The screen on the Samsung was very, very nice. As others have said, the blacks are TRUE black and hence everything tends to "pop" more. Think of it kinda like a plasma vs an LCD HDTV. Plasma blacks just can't be beaten by an LCD.

I moved to the G2X two days ago, mostly because I decided I wanted as close to a stock Android experience as possible AND a more future-proof dual core phone. I have NO complaints about the screen on the G2X. Sure, the blacks aren't quite as black, but the colors look great, it's bright and readable, and I don't use a black background anyway. As an added bonus, it is MUCH easier to read in sunlight than the SAMOLED was on the Galaxy.
[LG Optimus 2x] peewster:
Just got mine today. Nice phone, but the screen.....

The top left and right corners of the screen have a small white glow, the same as some lcd tv's had in the beginning. So the "color" black isn't covering my whole screen....

This is NOT my phone, but just to show you where the glowing parts are.
[LG Optimus 2x] Acti666:
Mate, isn't that the lg notification bar?:P I've heard about some people having backlight problems though, but than it is your phone
[LG Optimus 2x] peewster:
Nope it isn't the bar :-p. Already called with the vip service of LG, and I will get a new phone next week :-)

Best service ever!!!!!

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] jimbush3:
Major Update!

This tool was put together based on some request I saw on the boards, and using different snippets of code and a little know-how.

The latest version of Un-Theme-Me is a comprehensive theme removal tool that will undo any currently available applied themes and revert your Motorola Atrix 4G to an ATT 1.83 Deodexed file system files, stock boot animation, maintain your data and even widgets. FYI, I've only tried this on my phone once. I'm not interested in taking multiple runs at re-creating the whole process. I was running a heavily modified version of GingerBlur 3.1 and used this tool to successfully revert back to a Stock ATT 1.83 state with no issues. I then ran the program again just for good measure.

Download

Stock ATT 1.83 Deodexed Theme Removal Tool - note, this installs 1.83 version files. Verify that you are on ATT version 1.83 in your settings, about phone before using this program. This program may work for other versions in the future.

Your phone will take a REALLY long time to reboot after this is applied. BE PATIENT. The first time I tested this the phone sat on the ATT logo screen that I was halfway through taking off the case to do a battery pull when it started up. Subsequent installs have taken the same amount of time.

To use:

Download the .zip from the link above

Plug your phone into USB - set USB Connection to USB Mass Storage

Place the stock-att-1-8-3.zip file on your SD card

Follow all CWM instructions to eboot to install mode with CWM Recovery

Follow the prompts to install this zip from your SD card

You know the drill, I am not responsible for any "bricking" that may happen to your device. I have only tested it on my phone only.

I RECOMMEND NOT INSTALLING ON A BELL ATRIX.

This program will take your phone back to the stock 1.83 ATT deodexed file system.

Let me reiterate - I have only tested this on MY phone but have been successful in removing all themes I've installed from this site. Thanks and good luck. :D

Before and after shots:

(don't worry about the times in the status bar, the Cool Blue image is a few days old :) )

p.s. - it also maintains root access :D:cool::D.

You're right and I'll add a disclaimer to the op regarding the version used by this until I can build some kind of version checking into the program. Boot shouldn't be affected.

I know this will remove any themes I have, but will it remove P-ROMs such as Gladatrix?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Gutterball:
An even better question would be will this remove the theme I put over top of gladiatrix? cause I wanna remove the theme for now but keep gladiatrix. I'm betting it will take most of the gladiatrix elements out to which I dont want to do.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] jimbush3:
For the most part yes; it does not disable sideloading/tethering/etc. but will replace all files in the /system folder with deodexed stock versions and will restore the ATT Bloatware.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] jimbush3:
The best way to remove a theme from Gladiatrix is to re-install Gladiatrix, it should replace all the files affected by a theme with original GA files. This theme-remover will strip away a good part of GA.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Gutterball:
perfect answer! thanks jimbush once again! appreciate it!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Big-A-Rob:
This definitely did not work for me. I have flashed a bunch of themes, etc. and wanted to start clean. Flashed this and like half of the system apk's did not install...like settings, telephony, and a bunch of others. Then went to restore to a backup and of course I found out that Tenfars CWM has MD5 mismatches. So I thought maybe my download got corrupted of did not finish the download, but all the files are definitely there, just not getting installed. The boot animation and it seems like the framework installed fine, just issues with the system. Any thoughts?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] meztizo_kid:
Wow from that last post I'm a bit skeptical on using this. I was happy when I found this thread... Guess I'll just result in flashing SBF's, updatings, and going from there.
