[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
i'm surprised nobody has brought up the issue of the nexus one 16 bit color issue and banding problem. the nexus one first released, and the pentile pixel uproar started. but during this time the n1 sees lots of banding on many types of gradients.

it stayed like this until 2.3.3 when google finally admitted that the n1 had been boosted from 16 bit color to 32bit or 24 bit (i cant remember which) with this last gingerbread update.

so the XDA tapatalk app for example always showed banding on the splash screen. but after installing 2.3.3 the banding on this splash screen is gone, and its smooth as it should be.

so seeing as this new super AMOLED plus screen is the first of its kind, i dont find it hard to believe that the screen is 16 bit color just like the nexus one amoled screen was. and it was only just recently rectified (which is a long time to wait if you think about it).

so i would bet money the super amoled+ wasnt finalized with display drivers or something and so they left it at 16 bit for now.
[Galaxy S II General] tuhinz:
... This seems to make sense. I was just comparing an angry birds screen on my SGII with my X10 and the X10 doesn't show any discernable banding. Now I took a screenshot of the app on my SGII (attached) and it shows some banding. The banding in the actual screen is actually worse than this as well.

Is it possible that the output is initially with some banding and the LCD screen (X10) / (or the X10 display driver) dithers the image to remove the banding while the SGII driver (or the display) does not do it rendering the onscreen image even worse?

I'm totally in over my head on this one. Maybe somebody can explain & offer some advice. I'm still not sure if this is a generic issue with the SAMOLED+ displays or a problem with my handset! :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
Just ignore the ones who keep asking and asking. I think the feedback INCLUDING MINE which I made a separate thread about and viewd thousands already. People get the picture of what this phone is.

Still not convinced? still not getting a satisfied answer?? Go to a shop and test it out yourself. It isn't hard. Unless you live in the U.S or canada. You can't get one then anyways. If that is the case wait for it. It will come. If you can't- Just move on. Get a different phone.

Why should WE users have to keep repeating the same thing again and again. The biggest mobile blogs and sites around the WORLD are rating this phone. New to the Galaxy S line? Welcome!!!!!
[Galaxy S II General] tuhinz:
I hope this angst ridden post wasn't addressed to me! :)

If it was, I'd like to clarify a few things:

I have seen your comments regarding the screen and also a few comments regarding alternate lines/banding at edges (screen defect- different issue entirely). I on the other hand am asking if the gradient banding (looks like 16 bit display) is a generic SAMOLED+ issue. The idea is to know about any issues at hand before going to the store and demanding a replacement (Note: O2 is always running short of supply so it may not be possible to arrange for a working demo-It happened to me)

Coming from pentile Samoled to RGB stripe Samoled is a reason why you find the new display crisp. No questioning that. However I am comparing it side by side with a very ordinary LCD (X10i) and am finding striations in the new display. I would like to understand the issue at hand from some experts hence the post.

I haven't started this thread so if I post anything here relevant to the thread heading I cant be accused of making redundant comments/ posts.

I have not put a gun to anyones head for their opinion on the screen. You got an experience- share it. You don't? Please move on. Dont vent your steam. I am not trying to make people hate their purchases. I bought the same phone-Why would I do that?

The biggest blog/ review sites have praised the display to no end: All the more reason for me to investigate whats iffy with my display and hence my posts.

To recap: The existing complaints on various threads for the display seems to hinge on banding/ alternate striations on account of physical screen defects. Some have complained about loss of resolution coming from a 4" display: Very plausible considering the reduced dpi but thats not my issue either. Clearly my post was regarding colour banding (gradient) similar to a 16 bit display driver output : This I felt was not clearly asked/ covered in any thread and so I made this post.

Apologies If I have hurt the collective sentiment of some XDA'ers but IMHO so much vitriol for such a trivial issue is bad for everybody's health (except if you've had a bad day at office! :p)

EDIT: I have attached a screenshot of the NeuralNet Wallpaper to show the banding effect in the background. (Sorry for the poor quality of the pic)
[Galaxy S II General] bilboa1:
FYI the "banding" effect is due to the fact that it renders in 16 bit colors instead of 24 bits.

Some apps such as gallery display pictures in 24 bits of course (else it would have been horrible)

I'm not sure of the technical reason for this, its not horrible but its not very good.

Eventually some of us might (CF: fixitfixitfixitfixitfixit :p) provide a fix for that but it's still being investigated.

[Nexus S General] reddv1:
Can someone with a stock NS4G use root explorer to zip '/system' and post it here, (you don't have to be rooted to do this).

To do that open root explorer, long press system and select zip this folder, the finished zip file will be system.zip in /sdcatd/speedsoftware/zip.

I can mirror after that so you don't have to host the file.

That would help us see the differences from the GSM nexus. I will also use it to make a zip for people who want to go back to stock after messing up or something, and make a deodexed version so people can theme there NS4G.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
both of those things have already been posted in the dev section.

*will post system in a sec

**nvm, you want stock rooted, thats not me
[Nexus S General] reddv1:
I haven't seen a stock flashable rom, just one that uses Odin to do that, and all the deodexd versions there are modified with custom kernels and apps.

Can you point me to a totally stock rom
[Nexus S General] reddv1:
No just stock, I edit my OP for a stock no root needed.
[Nexus S General] reddv1:
No one up for the challenge? A nandroid backup will be just as good.
[Nexus S General] r80ies:
Do you still need this?
[Nexus S General] reddv1:
Yes preferably stock and not rooted.
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
hopefully you can figure something out
[Nexus S General] reddv1:
Thanks so much! I was asking it as a favor, so you didn't take long at all. You can take it down if you want, I'll mirror it soon.

I have the Starburst ROM with Data2SD installed and want to replace my SD card with a faster card. Do I have to start from scratch or can I copy everything from the old card to the new card?

Not sure how this would work with the ext4 partition because Windows can't see it. :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] clappy191:
i would at least try copying everything to your pc and putting it on the new card to see if it works. No one said you have to delete ur old sd card.

and if worst comes to worst, youll just have to reflash the ROM

Not sure about the ext4 partition but when I switched SD cards I simply copied it onto my laptop and moved everything to the new one and it worked fine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvilTodd:
Been searching and tinkering for a bit with this and can't seem to find a thread, let alone a solution to my issue:

My EVO boots with a default setting of VIBRATE w/o SOUND. I'm currently running CM7, but had this problem with all previous ROMs, so I don't think that it's a ROM issue. Furthermore, I can't boot into recovery with ClockworkMod, only Amon RA which pretty much is rendering ROM Manager useless. Any and all help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

EDIT: ClockworkMOD problem resolved with a cache cleaning within ROM Manager, then flashing RA and back to ClockworkMod. I assumed I had a corrupt download and this re-downloaded ClockworkMOD.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Athenon87:
Don't update. You need to go back to stock before you can do the OTA update. If you do that, though, you'll lose root and all of the awesome homebrew stuff, and we have no awesomely reliable way of getting back as of just yet. Best thing to do, in my opinion, is to wait for an easier 3.1 flash, which I'm hoping will come soon. BRD has a root/sd card/otg/etc zip out there, but it's still being tested, and you still have to flash back to stock to get the OTA and such.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] rustedashes:
Hello all, quick question. I rooted my LG Optimus T using z4root and Shorty after I downloaded "Root Tools" from the market. Really the only thing I used it for was to change my boot animations, I tried a few of them. Through the program it backed up my original animation in a zip file on my SD card. The program has an option to restore the original animation but it just won't allow me. Since I've done a full back up with Titanium Pro and a Band back up after installing a custom recovery. Is there another way to restore my boot animation from my SD card using Terminal Emulator or a copy paste?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] danialrocker:
You say you have the original boot animation then it's possible

Make sure the file is bootanimation.zip.

Things you need

1)Phone is Rooted

2)Root Explorer(Market)

3)Boot Animation (Original On Your SdCard)

Open your root explorer and find system. Then open that folder and choose media. That is where you should place your bootanimation.zip
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rustedashes:
Thanks, turns out I do not have the original boot animation that came with the phone. I must of missed the button when installing the new animation. I tried looking for one to download but did not have luck. Not that big of a deal, though.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] gearhead27:
Can we use the one from the Vibrant ROM 'Asgard'?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
no it is apart of the Gingerbread rom... it isn't something you can just install (but I'm not putting it past the dev's here at XDA). Specifically I think the kernel requires this functionality.

The official Gingerbread build should come with an updated Gingerbread kernel which hopefully includes this. I don't see why not.

It is a stupid little gimmick anyway but regardless we'll get it some way some how eventually.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dully79:
Create an update zip that you can flash from recovery, there should be "how-to's"

hanging around.

If not post up your apk and me or someone else will create one for you.

Hope this helps :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iKenThePianoKid:
I always use Titanium Backup to restore apps when I flash new roms. Works flawlessly.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] WiW:
If you have root you can copy the .apk to external memory. If your new rom comes with any kind of file explorer, you just open it and it will install.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cuspide:
First we have to say that today our X10 is awesome compare to what it was, wen Sony Launched it... Thx you all for your terrific work on it.

We have plenty of rom, plenty of baseband, some kernel...

It becomes really difficult to test and report all combination

With the Kernel Manager Tool we can switch easily from one kernel to an another on a same rom...

I tried yesterday a very sweet combination

TripNKernel Modified FreeKernel-03 based on zdzihu's FreeKernel

+

Wolfbreak CM v006

+

bb52 (with the BB patch)

Result : no caps on fps, 1400 point at quadrant and everything working: bt, wifi, proximity sensor, led, flash, barnacle tether, etc....

No reboot no wlod...

Only bad behavior report: no gps, no way to move app to SD, and battery drain.

With fully charged and let on sleep mode, after 7 hours, only 35% left...

The problem seems to be the phone won't sleep....

Jerpelea in your K006 kernel, you uncap the fps, but it revert to 33 fps automaticly after screen goes off.... in the zdzihu's FreeKernel it stays uncap...

Could you point the others to where in kernel the fps cap is ? And do you think fps cap AND sleep mode are possible ?

It would be a huge progress for our phone, the feeling is blasting without the fps cap....

I think we should focus on kernel, we have really optimized rom, and kernel can bring some nice improvements....

Sorry if i made wired sentences, i'm French ;)

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] rcummings100:
I'm currently using the stock 16GB card that came with my Telus Milestone. I just ordered a 32GB class 10 card to replace it. I'm using EXT2 on CM7, so I've got a Fat32 partition and an EXT2 partition.

What's the best way to get all my data on all partitions over seamlessly and easily? Can Norton GHOST or Acronis access the cards and do a clone from 1 to the other, as if they were regular harddrives? (using USB card readers)

Any advice would be appreciated!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] DruNKfuX:
Yeh norton ghost worked fine for my 8gb with fat32 and ext2 partitions to a new 16gb card.....
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] rcummings100:
Ghost didn't work for me. It simply wouldn't see either card, using a multitude of card readers.

I ended up partitioning the card manually using Minitool partition wizard. I needed a FAT32 partition and EXT2 partition. I then created a nandroid backup of the phone which included the ext2 partition and copied everything from the old card's fat32 over to the new card manually on my windows machine with robocopy. Popped the new card into the phone and immediately restored the nandroid backup before the phone could boot.

Worked like a charm, though annoying. I really wish Ghost would have worked!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] rcummings100:
And I'm an idiot: partition wizard has an option to do exactly what ghost does: copy the entire disc, and resize whatever partitions you needed.

I just did that on a second card and it was a lot easier than the first time around...not that the first time was difficult
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xAliceNine:
Well, I'm a little worried about my transformer since I put on the skinomi skin, and I used a lot of solution but I don't think it went into any of the ports on the side. Is it possible for the solution to leak through the screen? The bottle of solution I got from skinomi isn't like bone dry, it has a good amount, I would say 30% of the bottle is full. I put it on yesterday at around 4-5 P.M. and today at 8.26 PM it has a very small spot of water pixelation still. But while I was using it a little while ago, my wallpaper went whack. I had the ice cube live wallpaper, and then these little colored boxes covered some of the screen, but I could still recognize the wallpaper. Sorry it's kinda hard to explain :/ Yeah well, I changed the wallpaper to a regular non-moving picture, and it was gone. Then, I changed it back to the ice cube, and it was fixed, normal again. So I was still worried and I turned it off. I'm just wondering where the indicator is so I can check if I screwed my transformer over. Thanks

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxp3:
I'll tell you from experience, that even if you don't think water went under, it did. I had an EVO4G that had water under the screen when I swore I didn't have any going in. But the good news is over time it dried out. Also I had taken my phone back to sprint (different phone, palm pre) for another reason. They said that the phone has been tampered with. Aparently they look under a microscope along the edges of the screen. And I've never even took the phone apart, didn't even have screen protection. But I had wiped it several times with monitor wipes or wet napkins. They didn't even took the phone apart to see and would just refuse to give me a new phone or repair it.

As for the transformer, it's got a tough screen already I wouldn't worry about screen protection. I put some rubber nubs in the back from getting scratched though when I place it on it's back.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuntdouble:
Most the time the backlight will gradually get rid of the moisture if you leave the screen on long enough, as it gets pretty hot, but if you have moisture anywhere else in your device, it's best to switch off the device immediately and put it in a bag of uncooked rice, then leave it in there for a couple days up to a week. It draws out the moisture from the smallest nooks and crannys and can end up recovering otherwise duff devices.
