[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
So I thought I would make a thread we can all contribute to that has games that we like that don't have Xperia Play controls that we would like upgraded. If we can all help eachother out and email the developers for these games that we would like that update to be added maybe some will listen.

I will start with a game that is a remake of a shooter I liked when I was younger. I tried playing it and while the graphics are sick I just can't stand the lack of XPlay controls:

https://market.android.com/details?id=jp.gungho.silpheed_alternative_full

I did email the devs on this one and they said they are considering it.

• Caligo Chaser

• Caligo Chaser...

• CALIGO CHASER

• CALIGO FREAKING CHASER

• AGH... CALIGO CHASER!!!

...no, seriously though, you do not make such an awesome beat'em up/RPG hybrid with those borderline insane touch-screen controls... I do actually have a list though :).

• Inotia 3 - Children of Carnia

• Shift

• ILLUSIA (This technically *does* work on Xperia PLAY, but there's a lot of control conflicts)

• Third Blade

• Caligo Chaser (as if I didn't make that clear earlier :p)

• DESTINIA

• PicoPicoQuest

• Elemental Knights Online

• Alphadia

• Battle for Rebirth/Fighting Tiger

• Castle of Shadows

• Demon Hunter (Though if we got Castle of Shadows, I really wouldn't care about this)

• Across Age DX

• Krazy Kart Racing

I actually have contacted a number of devs about this... most usually are up for the idea, but don't know how to structure their game for Xperia PLAY because of unavailability in their country. I hope that the Xperia PLAY's Japanese release changes things.

For developers who want to make Xperia PLAY games without having an Xperia PLAY to test on, I did put together THIS GUIDE and have been handing it out to them. Com2Us (Caligo Chaser) liked it a lot, but still didn't bother optimizing their game for Xperia PLAY... only one that actually went the whole mile and optimized their game after I sent that guide was PJS Coding (creators of Further Beyond Fighting)... and regardless of what complaints could be made about the production quality, the controls were spot on.

A lot of developer's games could benefit from Xperia PLAY's controls :/

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Xaddict:
Banding, otherwise known as contouring, is a digital artifact common to images, displays or apps of 16bit(thousands of colours) or less.

Gradient image

Viewing the 24bit image in the above link will not show banding on a 24bit display(3 x 8bit channels of R, G & B millions of colours) if viewed in a 24bit app.

If 32 distinct bands are seen, possibly with every 1/3 band being a green shade, then the screen or the image viewing application is not 24bit capable.

Viewing 16bit or lower resolution gradient images on your screen will also show banding.

The Android browser shows banding with this image while the Dolphin HD browser does not.

In short, the SGNote has a 24bit display, which will show banding if viewing 16bit or lower images or using a 16bit or lower viewing application.

More on screen bits
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ltrulsse:
Im noticing lots of banding in lots of different apps :-/
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bigmille:
Same here, also happens with Google apps like the Market. Not sure what we can do about it anybody has suggestions?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Xaddict:
At least it is not the Note's display hardware that is the issue.

ICS may upgrade some Android OS apps to 24bit.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qazzi76:
Thank You for this

This proves that Apps that display banding simply aren't rendering at 24bit.

I was leaning towards there being an issue with the screen as this problem was not noticeable on my previous android devices.

This clarifies everything.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Xaddict:
You are welcome.

It bugged me too, until I got to the bottom of it.

Trust your eyes, the screen is glorious.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] paulshields:
I too don't believe the hardware to be the issue. I suspect it's more to do with having a device with a smallish screen and a large 1280x800 resolution. Higher res images and videos look amazing. If the image is quite compressed (i.e. lossy) then the higher resolution screen will show this more than a low resolution screen. Garbage in, garbage out comes to mind. We need all apps and videos and images to be high resolution 24bit minimum to make the most of our amazing screen :).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] seepage:
Excellent. I will put it in a drawer for a year or so then. Hopefully by then there will be some video I can watch.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] paulshields:
ha ha :). Listen, think of it like this. You've probably got a high resolution monitor attached to your computer. Do you prefer watching videos at 420p and lower or 720p and higher? No doubt the answer is higher resolution to match your monitor.

What Samsung has done is squeeze in a screen with similar resolution to a 13" laptop, but in a 5.3" mobile device! So we're going to come across lots of images and videos aimed at 'normal' mobile devices, which won't look so great on our high-res screen. To make the most of the screen you can copy 720p or 1080p high profile videos to your sdcard, and they will look incredible on playback, but they will also be large and it's a slow process, and if the video is long then it'll also hit the limitation with FAT max file sizes. Those issues aren't the fault of the screen though. It's simple really. If you want to make the most of the screen density then you have to provide it with good quality source material suitable for a high resolution screen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rockysiccion:
Do you think that its just software? No hardware? Do you think that ICS will fix this?

I came from dell streak and its realy hard to watch on note specialy on dark scene.

even opening xda app it has banding problems
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Xaddict:
It's definitely not a hardware issue because the screen is definitely 24bit colour. It displays well in the right app. You could swap apps for those that handle higher bit images. If you use Dolphin HD, possibly other browsers, webpages are seen in 24bit, if they are 24bit images. I don't know but there must be alternative picture viewing apps. Dice Player is a high res video viewer. As for system graphics, they don't look so bad to me. For games etc, it means living with banding until the maker upgrades? This is always the case on computers.

Be thankful Samsung have not rorted us.

Apple has ripped off it's customers many times selling lo-res screens as high res:

"Apple has received a new class action complaint alleging the MacBook

does not support millions of colors, but rather 16 bit color, which is

dithered to approximate millions of colors."

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Latoc:
I don't have a Note yet, but can somebody try with QuickPic, it has an option in it's settings to force decode in 32bit mode.

That could clarify if it is a software or hardware problem...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] seepage:
The video and photographs shot with the phone's own camera have the same problems as other video and pictures. Surely they should display OK.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Xaddict:
Some Android apps only render in 16bit

The phone has a 24bit 16 million colour display.

Some apps, including the picture viewing gallery app do not display 24bit colour in the 24bit quality they were made. See here
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] psionic11:
Thanks, Xaddict, this all makes sense regarding 24- versus 16-bit rendering.

Still, shouldn't intelligent/adaptive codecs be able to bridge the chasm by re-rendering 16-bit source material into some sort of "interleaved" or "inferred" gradual gradation or gradient... a codec to "smooth" the blend, if you will.

It's a codec issue, isn't it?

I wonder if Samsung or ICS will solve this first, if ever...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] titus1:
It feels like the Note has the same display like the first Desire (Amoled) that I've owned.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
Its been said that this is a software problem, I've never seen this fixed with a 3rd party custom ROM since the Galaxy S1 days. Even 'x' ROM still shows color banding.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bassarnis:
Found a solution for the wallpaper. Install MultiPicture live wallpaper (free from market) Go into it's settings and select "Color depth", then select "True color (24-bit). If the image you selected and used is 24bit, there will be no banding in your wallpaper. Hope this helped, cheers :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
Depending on the wallpaper you'ed still see massive banding.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Xaddict:
It's not a software problem.

If anything, it's a low quality image being viewed on a 24bit screen problem.
[Nook Color General] mz.choize:
Hello, I've had my NC for a year this month and never had any major issues. I installed manualnooter 4.6.16a when nook was updated to 1.3.0 some time ago and all was great in the NC world.:) Recently I noticed that my battery is stuck @ 29% no matter what! I never charge via usb thru the computer always plugged in a wall socket. I dld batt solo widget, and many other battery widgets just to make sure, and of course they all say 29%.:eek:

Here's the thing, the n on the cord is green which usually mean its fully charged. I used it til it died, plugged it back in to recharge two days and the % is the same. I went ahead and wiped it, updated it back to 1.3.0 stock and you guessed it, it still says 29%. What do you think the problem is, please help.:confused::confused:
[Nook Color General] cityoke2:
The problem may be that your charge cable no longer works with an AC source. I know it sounds far fetched, but mine would not charge above 33% with the cable that came with it, but once I used my cable I use in my car it started charging fast again, and is now charging to 100%.
[Nook Color General] ianPhillips1:
Download the battery monitor widget and it will tell you if your cable is charging AC or USB.USB charge is very weak vs AC. Try recalibrating your battery either with an app (I use nemas version) or do it under advanced in recovery. Assuming you are rooted.

[Nook Color General] cityoke2:
Assuming he is having the same problem as I did, The nook just stops charging, and will not charge any higher than whatever percentage it stops at. The only thing that worked for me was using a new Nook Color Cable. Just an odd bit of wonkiness.
[Nook Color General] unsivil_audio:
Also, boot into clockworkmod and clear your battery stats. You're battery should be right around 4200mv fully charged (Spare Parts on CM7 can tell you this). Sounds like you just have an issue where its not recognizing full charged as fully charged.

Hi,

I have tried to develop and install a little maps-application on the archos70b reader.

Since the 70b has no built-in gps the app does not use any gps feature.

in the debug log I get the following:

I think the main reason is the lack of the shared library:

the 70b has a 2.1 Eclair OS.

Any suggestions??

There should be an alternative rom from the voltaire tablet with full android.

Does the voltaire run maps?

What is the ACS Updater?

ACS Updater is an app for android devices that allows you to download and install custom roms, kernels, themes, and modems from the internet on the fly. It's very simple to use: run the app, select what you want to install. You will get a screen asking if you want to wipe cache / backup first. Select options, and hit OK. The file will download from the net to /sdcard/ACSDownloads, and when complete, will reboot into recovery and install automatically.

Backup and Restore can also be done via the app, as well as Installing from SD Card, and even Install from URL - put in whatever URL you want, and it will download and install (if you put in a URL to something that isn't a flashable zip, and try to install it, that's your fault.)

In future releases, there will be more goodies, stay tuned!

-MADE BY Parabola949
