[Fascinate General] fitti28:
Well there has been people coming into the posts and complaining that this Rom or theme hasnt been updated. i mean i am all for the newest updates to any of the Roms, themes, launchers and anything you all do for us. So basically i was just trying to put it out there that anyone who is not contributing to any dev or mods should just be patient and in time all their ROMS, Themes, CWM and everything that you all do will get done. I was just getting tired of people demanding stuff, i mean come on if you want something bad enough and you can't wait then oh well learn to do it yourself. There are plenty of people waiting for Comrom v 2.0 and they will have to wait until it has been tested and released, when it is it will be awesome b/c these good people who have jobs and lives outside of this posts are willing to do amazing stuff in their free time. I know your Tw4 is going to be awesome and you do amazing work.

I just want everyone to be nice to you all as they should be showing their appreciation instead of sometimes being asses to some of the devs. I didnt enjoy my phone when i first got it and now i love it because of all that you all do... I just wanted you all to know it and i hoped everyone else agrees with me.
[Fascinate General] fitti28:
Landshark you hit the nail on the head. Thank you for that.
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
Well, remember the troll from that thread blamed his lack of meds as the problem.... yeah I didn't buy it either.
[Fascinate General] bhfd64:
Our devs rule and everyone knows it. Anyone who would bash them is clearly a troll or an idiot, or both, and shouldn't be paid an ounce of attention.
[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
yeah it wasnt just chronster though....if you actually want to bang your head against the wall there are dozens of lousy comments in the com rom thread about "this rom is broken, why release this..blah blah"

really irritating :cool:
[Fascinate General] piizzadude:
yeah i check in on that thread from time to time, then remember why i avoid it anymore...

read through the thread that this thread was started for, and all I can say is wow.

I think I have thanked all the dev, and if not, my apologies and thank you. I musta skipped a dose that morning....
[Fascinate General] gimmesome:
This is bound to happen...

The devs offering their time & expertise know they are appreciated,

even if there are spoiled humans complaining because the world owes them a hacked phone with no issues.

This lurker is grateful,

and has no doubt the grateful vastly outnumber the vocal minority..

as is typical in life.
[Xoom General] becu4xda:
Thank you for a great tip. My Xoom screen look better now. This is why I love to visit XDA everyday.
[Xoom General] techpal:
Will check with Acer A500.
[Xoom General] patass:
im not really seeing a difference.
[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
The difference is there. Try viewing from different angles instead of straight on and compare. I added my own screenshots of my Xoom just now and you should be able to see a nice difference from the before and after. This method really helps the side viewing angles a lot by reducing the white backlight that causes the screen to distort when not looking directly down on it. But it looks really great all around, not just from the side.
[Xoom General] incrediblenotinstock:
so what do i put the system brightness at? and what do I put the screen filter percentage at?
[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
You can customize and set it to whatever you like. Me, for normal usage I like to use 50% for the system brightness and 85.1% for the Screen Filter brightness. I think it works quite well this way without being too dark or too bright. I use this setting on both my Xoom and my OG Droid.
[Xoom General] BLACK-ICE:
I see what your saying, the viewing angle is alot better now, thanks OP
[Xoom General] Brolloks:
wow, makes a huge difference for me, thanks

How does it impact battery usage at the 50/85?
[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
It really does not impact the battery life very much if at all. In fact it possibly might save a little bit of battery life if anything. I've been using this setup for months and it has been working great.
[Xoom General] omnia1994:
my home screen n browser seems laggy when using it. Anyone has the same issue with me?
[Xoom General] csseale:
Yep...real laggy. Uninstalled
[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
Hmm.. interesting. I use it all the time without any kind of problem. What launcher and browser are you using? And are you stock or rooted?

I'm using both Adw Launcher and Launcher Pro depending on my mood and they both work great with Screen Filter enabled.. no lag of any kind. And my browser of choice is always Dolphin HD and it also works without any lag. I'm on a rooted 3.1 Xoom with the latest tiamat kernel. Maybe I can help solve the problem?
[Xoom General] Kokanee483:
i am curious why one would jack their screen brightness up to 85% in the first place, 33% gets a perfectly view able screen indoors. Not to mention the savings wrt battery life.
[Xoom General] gqstatus0685:
The 85% is for filter not brightness.
[Xoom General] lstrike:
Yep, nice for off angles but for sure adds all types of lag. Bonse stock 3.1 no root. Factory launcher... isn't their a color control like what's available for the Nexus S? You would think with the screen wash out complaints someone would have come up with an answer by now.
[Xoom General] lstrike:
Just tested another app. Really liked the effect on off angles so I'm searching the market for other stuff. There is another app called back light filter. It alowsyou to adjust the Alpha levels along with individual colors. Have to tinker to find the best fit but no home screen lag.
[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
I've tested this app before and it's so so. Most users will want something easy to use without much tinkering or setup. It works pretty well through, but it could use some more features, it lacks a widget, and there is no notification bar icon for fast access. Good comment though. Maybe the people who are completly stock everything should give this a go since they are reporting lag issues.
[Xoom General] CiscoVoipDude:
I don't see any difference.
[Xoom General] lstrike:
I agree with you on the simplicity of the app in the original post. If the developer can dial out the lag it is definately the best tool for screen filtering on the xoom. I just wish the OEMs would provide simple calibration tools for screens.
[Xoom General] :
Leave constructive reviews on the market or reach out to the developer by email.
[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
I second that! You would think big companies would have these kind of tools built into their products instead of relying on a third party. But that's what I think of when I hear the word stock. It's a basic setup/starting point from the OEM that can be improved upon quite easily by third party input. I almost think they leave these types of tools out for the reason that we have some amazing devs that will take care of it with a little imagination.
[Xoom General] ariurban:
I was trying to install an app from amazon appstore and pressing the install icon would not have any response, only the cancel icon worked. Found out by disabling the screen filter , I was able to install my apps by pressing the install icon. Very weird.
[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
That's crazy, I had the same problem awhile ago with this app, very weird indeed. This really isn't a big deal or a reason to stop using it because it literally takes half a second to disable it real quick and turn it back on. So no worries. It's just odd.
[Xoom General] sirius b:
In addition to this issue on my xoom, on my Nexus S I couldn't get it to compose emails when trying to select compose emails unless I disabled the filter as well.
[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
I suppose these issues arise because it hasn't been updated in awhile, let alone for us Honeycomb users and newer phone users. That's what this all looks like to me. Thanks for the report! If anyone finds anymore issues like this, post them up here and I will add them to my new list.
[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
On a side note.. I am using this setup on my OG Droid and I have combined it with the user interface render effect feature found within Cyanogenmod ROMs and all others built using its source. These two work extremely well together and really do a nice thing for my Droid's screen.

I can't wait to see this on the Xoom when the Honeycomb source is released! That combined with Screen Filter makes for some impressive results.
[Xoom General] omnia1994:
Well i m rooted now and i must say this works flawlessly. Thx
[Xoom General] Jeffu:
I don't see a difference, and I work as an artist and am pretty confident in my ability to notice if colors look different, even by a bit.

Perhaps some Xoom screens vary in quality?
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Yesterday at BestBuy I got a really clear understanding of how there are two different Xoom screens.

I have a wifi-only Xoom and my screen is great. It is clear, sharp, colors bright but natural and well balanced. I have never been able to understand the comments by some about how Xoom's screen was inferior to Acer, Asus, etc. In fact, I had done a comparison of my Xoom at 100% brightness doing angry birds with an Acer 500 and an Asus Transformer at the same setting and screen at BB last month, and the Xoom won hands down.

But yesterday, I got a chance to see a 3G Xoom next to a wifi Xoom and the wifi model was so much better, and compared exactly to my wifi model. I set them all to the 1st screen of AB Rio, all at 100% brightness, and even the actual drawing was different. The wifis both showed wood grain and boxes with lots of detail and the entire drawing was smooth, no jaggies. The 3G screen used different, lower resolution items (wire cables) and there were jaggies. Yes my gpu is overclocked, but the BestBuy Xooms were stock 3.2.

Before anyone freaks out, I have no reason to think that all wifis have better screens than the 3Gs but the difference was dramatic.
[Xoom General] lawrencelaw:
Xoom is a Great Tablet - but you need to root and flash with new ROM

My xoom is a 3G unit, when at stock conditions, the screen color rendering was a less vibrant, even kind of dull compared to say SG2 or ipad2.

Since having rooted and overclocked it, this part is subjective especially without screen shots, i find the screen has improved in its color performance/sharpness. No, it is not on par with SG2...but it is an improvement.

I was apprehensive to root my devices, SG2 is stock condition. But having done it for Xoom, without Rooting and using the Tiamat 2.1 Rom i would have regretted buying getting the Xoom. This solved my battery problem (last 3 days instead of 1 day plus), over clocked solved the lag issue and made it so much more snappy to use and lastly some improvement to the screen color rendering.

[Xoom General] musashiken:
Hi there has been several reports from users that the Xoom (whether wifi or 3g) has different lcd panels.

So far I only heard of Sharp and AUO panels.

There is a simple way to find out what lcd panel your android device has. (This method originated from persiansown)

1. Download Terminal Emulator from the Market.

2. Reboot your Xoom (This is usually necessary to clear memory)

3. Open Terminal Emulator and type dmesg and press enter. (doesn't require root)

-3a. Optionally type dmesg | grep lcd and press enter. This will narrow the output to only lines that contain lcd. (may require root)

4. Scroll back to the top of the outputted messages and search for a line that reads something like <6>[ 0.000000] lcd_manfid=AUO

5. Yeah my lcd is the AUO panel.

Note. Some android devices require you to type dmesg | panel instead. From what I know, the lcd line that reveals your lcd panel type appear in different ways.

I heard that the AUO panels are inferior to the Sharp ones... so I guess it depends on your luck.
[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
The difference will not be dramatic or life changing, but I feel that it's a bit of an enhancement. Try setting the system brightness to 50%, and the in app brightness bar to 75.5% or to 72.5%. I just tried these brightness settings myself again just now on my 3G Xoom. Looks good, and doesn't lower the total screen brightness level very much. The straight on view looks quite a bit more vibrant, and the viewing angles are improved a tiny little bit as well. I would recommend to use the market app to compare the before and after, just like I did with my screenshots.

Hey man, I haven't been able to figure that out either. I always thought the Xoom's screen display was awesome, and never inferior to the other Honeycomb tablets on the market.

In that case of your Best Buy experience... this Screen Filter method would probably be much more noticeable on the 3G Xoom. I haven't had the chance to see a Wifi Xoom along side my 3G Xoom to compare, but... it would make sense to me if the Wifi version had a little bit of a different... perhaps better screen. The Wifi model was a newer release. It came out what a month or so after the 3G version?
[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
Updated the thread! I have added in a new tip with screenshots! Let's make our high def screens even higher def shall we? :)
[Xoom General] gzgundon:
THX。I will try it .
[Xoom General] Psychokitty:
Good stuff!

I use LCD Density and Color Filter Service. Now I'll toss this one into the mix, and I should have just about full screen control.

I've grown very used to my screen at 50% brightness maximum; usually only 25%. Now when I put it on full bright it's way too bright.

Overclocked, I still can get 10 hours plus playing with my Xoom.
[Xoom General] rohit3192:
is there any app to color enhance?
[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
The only problem I had with LCD Density was the fact that I could not get the density settings to stick upon boot up. I would end up manually setting it every single time. And I forgot about Color Filter Service! I am using the paid app now. It works quite well also. That's always good to know. :)
[Xoom General] wiesman2613:
i like how the LCD density changes the resolution ..makes the screen great....but one issue... none of my Widgets are loading!... does anyone know why this is?
[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
As far as I know the only semi decent app is Color Filter Service.

Not sure about that one. I'm running on 140 density, my homescreen is made up almost entirely of widgets, and none of them are having any kind of issues. Maybe just simply remove and then add the widgets back?
[Xoom General] russellgarrett:
Thanks for the tip, screen looks amazing now!
[Xoom General] tincbtrar:
I can confirm this does nothing for WiFi only Xoom.

I have the Auo panel and it doesnt really do much for me except provide major lag - im running the Stock Rom Rooted with Rogue Kernel.

But thanks! It was fun trying it out!
[Xoom General] Isun:
My Xoom is 3G and rooted. LCD Density did not work but LCD Resolution did do the trick. I tried Backlight Filter and it was too difficult to get the screen looking right so I tried Color Filter which was a bit better but this isn't what I really need. I noticed that by default my screen leans more to blue and I just wanted to adjusted the color. Color filter darkens the screen as I adjust the color which means I have to increase brightness and that will only lead to more battery drain. So I abandoned color correcting the screen. On another note, I am not sure if it's because of overclocking and resolution change but my videos play with much better color. I wanted to credit the new install of Dice Player but I don't recall colors looking like this when I first installed it.
[Xoom General] Lakota:
Just put this on my UK WiFi model which has the AUO panel and it's looking great. How did I miss this for so long?!
[EVO Shift 4G General] craven667:
ok so i have looked but cant find it i am using cm7 but want to know if HTTP PD PD Proxy Address to 0.0.0.0 is default or do i have to flash back and do it... and why cant i save cm7 seems when i make a back up it dont keep and have to start over
[EVO Shift 4G General] Ron Overdrive:
The PD Proxy isn't 0.0.0.0 by default. I forget what it is, but every time you flash a new radio you'll have to switch to a sense rom like the stock RUU or MikShift to use the ##DATA# dialer code to change your settings back to 0.0.0.0. AOSP based roms like CyanogenMod can't use the dialer codes which is why you will need a Sense based ROM. I'm not sure if you'll have to do the same for WiMAX if a new WiMAX update is applied, but considering it resets to default with the 3G radio update, but I would assume you would also have to re-enter any WiMAX setting changes as well.

** Note: X2, not original X!! **

This is a free demo, so posting it should be ok. I uninstalled it from my DX2 because I had purchased the market version, but the market version isn't compatible with the X2. I had no idea there were different versions of the same app.

Can someone please post the .apk from the DX2 so I can reinstall it? It should be in /data/app/. It's not in the system dump that someone else has already posted. Also, I might need the additional data for the game if it won't let it re-download it. That would reside in /sdcard/Android/data/. If you can only post the apk file, that's a great start because I might be able to redownload the game data on my own. Also, if you have Titanium Backup, you can just post the backup for the app. Thanks!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cincy1020:
Hi:

I am looking for an app to filter calls. I would like to allow only certain numbers, and block or silence the rest. All the apps I have found do the opposite, they block only the numbers you ask them to, and it would be very impractical to have to add all numbers except for the 2 I want to allow.

The latest one I tried was call filter, which was great, and easy to use, but the same as the others, you could only block individual numbers, rather than allow only specific numbers.

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redger725:
You can use Tasker to do that. I had a Tasker profile that ran at night when my phone was on silent. It would ring only if calls came in from my children or my parents. You could use the same type of profile but have it active all the time.

Tasker is more complicated than your typical android app. But there are example profiles that you can download and modify.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cincy1020:
Hi Redger:

Thanks so much for your reply. I downloaded and installed tasker. You are right, it is complicated. I installed the sample profiles for Auto Sleep Mode with Exceptions (sounds like what you mentioned).

I made it as far as adding the numbers I do want to ring. I am wondering is there any way to activate it manually (maybe a one click home screen type thing), rather than right now it is set to start automatically at a certain time?

Basically what I would like to do, is have only 2 phone numbers able to reach me (for both voice and sms calls) while I am sleeping, and all other numbers to be completely silenced.. I don't really want it to start and stop at a certain time, because my bedtime varies greatly from one day to the next.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks again!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phlunkie:
You can put a shortcut on the screen to tasker, and it will open to the tasks. Click on the real to turn off. 2 clicks I know.

I think the tasker forums can tell you how to make the task into a "program" like you want.

Edit. Try long pressing on the screen and go to task. It might be there.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redger725:
Download the generic toggle widget. You can put the widget on your home screen and program it to toggle your sleep mode profile. Remove the time constraints from the sleep profile and set it up to work with the toggle widget.

as we all probably went through, @ the beginning of launch of the G2, network speeds were terrible however I notice it has gotten much better (I get around 7-8mbps on average in the same area I use to get 1-2mbps when launched), what are your average 4G speeds now and how do you compare them with your initials speeds when the phone was launched?

I always thought since my phone supports 4G, i'll be getting 4G speeds. But, it's clear that i'm not..

i don't know. I didn't know that there was a '3G sim card'. It was my Vibrant until i gave it to my wife. I've been with t-monglol (incorrect spelling is on purpose) for about 10 years, and it seems i've gotten a new sim card in the mail about 5 years ago. Maybe I need to have the official updated 4G sim card? I'll probably need to spend that additional $10/month for to get 4G speeds.

I guess to achieve the detailed stats on out download and upload speeds, i'll have to download an app to measure it. But, it just seems my wife and I are the sames speeds. When I download a rom (90mbs+) it takes the same time on both phones.
