[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SenateDC:
I'm super annoyed with the support I have received from B&N. I purchased both Kindle Fire and the Nook Tablet. I wanted to use it just as carry around portfolio. The color cast issue on the Nook Tablet was so yellow. Everything I watched or put on the tablet had a slight yellow cast. So I went to the store and showed them they said it wasn't a issue there. Probably cause the lighting in the B&N stores is terrible to begin with. Regardless they let me swap out the tablet. Came home same issue.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] beatlesfan01:
I'm not noticing that on mine. Side note: Who's the girl? Lol.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SenateDC:
No one ever discussed in any review the color comparison that is between the two tablets. The screen is a lot sharper on the Nook Tablet with less glare. The kindle fire has a slight blue tint with a more muddier contrast. Watching two movies side by side same movie the Nook tablet you can see more of the fine detail in the video compared to the Kindle Fire.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] MonkeysInACan:
As a graphic designer a portable portfolio is part of the reason i got the Nook Tablet as well. If im not mistaken the nook and the ipad use the same type of display, so i dont think you are going to get a much better screen any where else. You are probably only noticing the yellow cast because you are looking at the blueish KF right next to it.

----Edit-------

Personaly I think the nook screen looks ritcher next to the KF.

Could you please post the original image of the woman?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rmm200:
On the posted thumbnails, the skin tone is better on the Nook - and a whole lot less glare.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pixelbat:
I noticed this too on my NT. Compared to my GT10 it's much warmer color.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SenateDC:
Here is the original
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tariqgibran:
Yep, the Nook Tablet has a very warm color balance. Noticed it right away. Compared to anything else - even the Nook Color - it's very noticeable. I'm a photographer and was also planning to use this for images so if it can't be adjusted, it's probably going back. Except for this flaw, the screen is really outstanding.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] beatlesfan01:
Shows how much I know about screens lol. Sorry OP :D
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] silvere2:
I envy your job.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] reverenddak:
The NT looks like it has a more natural saturation, the KF looks washed-out.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SenateDC:
They are both turned up to the same brightness. The contrast might be a little more dark in the KF. The NT is actually the same saturation just a whole different white balance. The laminated screen does stop the glare which looking in a dark room at both tablets its not as noticeable. I have the GSII and the saturation is way off but still a great device.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tariqgibran:
IF the Nook Tablet gets rooted, there is an Android color calibration app (root is required for this unfortunately as a separate system zip must be flashed in recovery beyond just the app) which can likely be used to tweak the WB. I used it on the original Nexus One and others have used it on more recent Samsungs which have root. Here is the thread:

It is rooted:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tariqgibran:
But not unlocked.

The bootloader is still locked so I believe that means you can't load another rom or boot into a recovery program. You need to start up in a recovery program to install part of the calibration software into the system by flashing there before the apk is loaded. So, I think we need the bootloader unlocked to do all this which we are still awaiting.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ibgap:
I think you may have a real issue. I'm getting ready to return my second unit due to over-saturated screen colors. I wouldn't have noticed that they were off if it weren't for the fact that I had another Nook that looked so much better. I've also seen the screen revert to normal for a session, but returns to poor quality when shut off and turned back on.

I've been using the welcome to Nook video as my standard. She should not look like she just had a bad bronzing job (almost orange). If she does, you may have an issue.

I've also noticed some very faint horizontal artifacting. Like a bad connection somewhere.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tariqgibran:
What I'm seeing on mine is just a warm color balance, not over-saturated color, lines or anything else. A quick way to see this is to view a black and white image on the Nook Tablet and compare that with another screen, preferably a calibrated one. On the Nook Tablet, the black and white image will look brown to sepia toned versus neutral gray tones.

[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
There was a discussion about this on Slashdot a few days back. The general consensus seems to be that it's got too low specs for being of much use in general tasks, like e.g. a carry-in-a-pocket HTPC, and that it's not thought fully through and lacks several important features to really make it useful for development. Though, it's still better for development than having to use your tablet or phone, and it's helluva lot faster than the emulator included with the SDK.

I cannot think of anything I'd use it for, but it sure is a neat idea, and definitely will be useful atleast for someone.

Peace!

I been using the EB13 GB theme for my epic 4g for months now. Its really simple, black dialer, black settings menu, and black transparent slide down menu. I am going to try to port it over to EI22 GB.

Any pointer to how I should go about it.

I read the theme guide but I want to hear about personal experience y'all went through....

Thanks for your time

And below is the link to the eb13 gb theme I been using.

Reply with your thoughts. -peace-
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkierawr:
Yola.

Porting from froyo to GB is NOT the most pleasant experience. A good amount of icons move to SystemUI.apk. 4G icons, 3G icons, all notification and quick toggle icons. And they are all named something different now! :( Haha quite a hassle.

Bottom line: Your going to need time and patience.

And when porting make sure to do it in a way that no unneeded icons get transferred. Even EB13 to EC05 had 20 or so pngs that were no longer needed. I recommend:

1)Take drawable-hdpi from the EB13 version and make a copy of it.

2)Copy all files in the GB drawable-hdpi and place them in the EB13 drawable-hdpi copy and then immediately delete all of them.

3)The result are leftover files that are not featured in EI22. Copy those into the main folder and delete them.

4)Then finally copy the remainder of the EB13 drawable-hdpi into the GB drawable-hdpi. I hope that makes sense! :D:D

Also the other framework files you should not port over. Androidpolicy.jar, services.jar, etc. Use the ones for EI22.

ALSO.

XML's are a big nono

when porting. Do not transfer any XML's from the EB13 theme to the EI22 template(Mostly applications. As far as framework-res goes, color and anim are exceptions. I have never had a problem with those). Any others cause a whole heap of issues(especially the dialer. Personal experience talking).

Another thing about theming that I tend to forget is when you port something over, make it your own! It is THEIR theme but it is also YOUR port! Rename it a little, theme a bit more than what was featured, add mods tailored to our phones(reboot options, scrollable toggles, etc). Make it reflect you a little! Ex. Nebula for me. Because hell that is the point of theming!

Also, very nice theme. I remember running it back then!

And to be honest I don't even.need to fix the scratches, although I did ask for a suggestion on how to fix them
[HTC EVO 3D] SouthernEvo:
I have heard of very few success stories when it comes to repairing the glass of a touch screen phone regardless if its a EVO 4G or 3D . I myself ran into a similar issue due to the "unscratchable" screen of the EVO 4g getting scratched after only having it for 4 hours . Apparently the paper towel and cleaner was just to much for it . You have one of two options here . 1.Replace the whole screen . Sprint wont help you on this situation mainly due to the fact they will play the "Its cosmetic damage" 2.Get a screen protector installed , mainly a screen protector like ZAG . I know some dont like Zag screen protectors but I had installed one on my EVO 4G and it covered up the scratch . Yeah I now had an orange peel effect (they might have improved their design by now Im not sure). In the end you are going to have to choose which lesser evil and go from there .
[HTC EVO 3D] tjb3401:
Honestly with tiny scratches like that if you DO get a screen protector it covers them up; you can't see them anymore. I did and it worked.

A great screen protector is XO SKINS. They don't get orange peel ever like most others do, and they have a lifetime warranty. You can order from the website or if you find a kiosk they'll put it on for free; a lot easier.

Also they are pretty inexpensive compared to others of the same quality.
[General Questions and Answers] josediaz1:
my samsung vibrant is rooted, i used the superone click root, with android 2.2 and it's been freezing up alot when i insert an sd card. Everything worked smoothly for about 8 months, but recently i have been having bad experiences with samsung. i have two external 2gb sd cards and when i inserted the first one, one day, it would finish scanning it and then vibrate once, then three times, the turn black. not off, but black. The button lights would remain on but the phone would become nonresponsive and the phone would remain black for about 5 minutes. Then it would start up like new and begin to scan media. it would stop halfway to freeze up again and the process would repeat. After about 3 more freezes, the phone stopped scanning the external sd card and immediately say blank external sd card on the notifications. it would show a card with a swipe over it. So i inserted it to an adapter and to my computer so save my data but no. The computer wouldn't detect it. I was shocked, all my data lost. I assumed it was just the card so i bought a new one. i instered it to my phone today, after almost filling it up from my computer, and the phone read it easily. after about 5 minutes of finishing reading it the phone stop responding to my touch. Vibrate once, then twice, the the black screen. I immediately removed my sd card. I might be mistakened, but i assume that my phone kills sd cards. my computer can still read it, luckily, but my phone will stop reading it halfway and freeze up just to kill it completely. However without any external sd card inserted, my phone will start as good as new. Any idea why this is happening or how to solve it. I'll try unrooting it only if the android 2.3 update takes longer than by dec. 1 to arrive for my phone. i have my reasons.

【Kernel】u8800pro-32&35--overclock-kernel【fixed sensor】

Installation Instructions

Unplug any usb connection and turn the phone completely off

Whilst holding both the volume + and volume - keys hold the power button to turn the device on. Let go when you see a pink/purple screen.

Attach the usb cable to your computer and wait until a few usb mass storage devices are detected and mounted. Look for one that has just one directory called 'image' in it. Navigate into this directory and you'll see boot.img etc.

(optional) Rename boot.img to boot_backup.img

copy the new boot.img to image, unmount the mass storage device (safely remove in windows) and then pull the battery out to turn the phone off.

Power on

Max 2Ghz overclock

add smartass2 governor

add BFQ IO

Best regards from Chile

Update:

I've flashed this kernel in my U8800-51 and it boot, but some reboots and some paths changed (that's because the init.rc from u8800pro and this phone are different, mount points mostly), so, i've unpacked my boot.img and replaced the kernel image with yours, and doesnt boot :( dunno what its, but im getting closer i think xD

2.3.5.

Just to be sure, I reinstalled the ROM (using the dload folder method). Accelerometer works (web browser rotates).

As soon as I install the new kernel (without any o/c) rotation breaks. I think I'll wait until it's sorted out.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] EdisDee:
1. what scaling governors are you using? (smartassv2, performance or on demand and etc.)

2. is it possible to fix the screen rotation bug?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Doctor Who:
1. Personally I've heard very good things about smartassv2 from 2 friends that own a u8800 with MIUI and its description seems clever. I didn't really have the time to test it extensively, however all three seemed to perform the same with demanding ops (I saw the same improvement in a Flash game - nothing close to +50% but noticeable nontetheless).

2. Using z-device test I found that while the accelerometer device was recognized, there were no values for any of the accelerometer's axes. As I said before this also occured in a fresh rom (full wipe-out with dload) when the new kernel is installed, without any applications being installed or o/c being performed.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] qwerty12:
I built a stock kernel with genokolar's config and Auto-Rotate was broken there, too. This can mean one of two things:

Huawei have released a bad kernel source package (the fact that it's zipped is pretty bad enough, but I digress) - I need to build with the stock .config to verify this

or one of the extra options in genokolar's config messes something else up (more likely and what I'm hoping for)

If you bring up the Testing menu (*#*#2846579#*#*) and go to ProjectMenu->Veneer information query->Apparatus type query you'll see that Compass information is unavailable; it should say "st_303dlh", like with the stock kernel.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Doctor Who:
Skace13, I got similar results to yours, about 2-5% slower (depending on the test) due to a lower o/c, except in SD-card write.

Here are my settings:

- disabled CyanogenMod's CPU o/c,

- used NoFrills CPU with a clock rate range of 245MHz-1.5GHz, SmartAssV2 governor and BFQ for i/o scheduling

- no compcache

- no surface dithering or 16-bit transparency

- VM heap set to 32MB.

akalos, which ROM and o/c application do you use?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] akalos:
official 2.3.5

setcpu

not working for me
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Doctor Who:
As I mentioned before, using the stock ROM could explain the low results in 3D due to the frame limiter being set to 30fps instead of 55 as with this mod: http://forums.miui.us/showthread.ph...how-to-uncap-FPS-for-U8800-or-U8800-Pro-to-55 . Not sure about the rest though.

Caveat emptor: This doesn't work with the stock ROM (believe me, I've tried) and I'm still unsure whether it isn't simply a capability of Cyanogen itself (rendering the necessity of this hack useless).

I'd suggest you give Genokolar's CyanogenMod a try (unless you really need the radio function) with the settings I've posted and see if there's any difference (try running Fps2D after you install the ROM, it should show an average of ~56fps).

If not for any other reason, the resulting smooth UI is totally worth the loss of the radio app.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] qwerty12:
This is because the init.rc in the stock boot.img will not run files found in /etc/init.d. I've customised my boot.img to execute files in /system/etc/init.d - where the script resides - so I do have the uncapper working with the stock ROM.

With regards to no surface dithering and 16-bit transparency, the stock ROM doesn't seem to let you be able to disable those. :(

Compcache doesn't work with genokolar's CM7 anyway, because the scripts and programs responsible wants to be able to load compcache as a module, but genokolar has built it into the kernel. I'd like genokolar's source (which he's said he'll upload sometime, thanks!) because I'd like to work on getting Compache to run with the stock ROM (including Cyanogenmod modifications).

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Doctor Who:
qwerty12, can you upload your modified boot.ini? Thanks in advance!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] qwerty12:
Sure. Here you go!

I can't remember what I've done to it exactly (I don't have an original boot.img that I can diff with), but I did do the following, at least:

Made it run init.d scripts (thanks to genokolar)

Removed lines that run CarrierIQ stuff (I wouldn't equate this to being an entire removal, however)

I think I regained the space needed to rebuild the boot.img by removing the long CodeAurora copyright declaration. It already has genokolar's sensor fixed OC kernel added and I've only used it with the Chinese release 2.3.5 stock ROM.

I have the following scripts in init.d:

Z89uncapfps (from M.SrcAsm's ZIP file; I'd take the script from the ZIP file and install it manually - using adb or something because CWM didn't install the file from the ZIP properly the last time I looked - look at updater-script for the right permissions)

98minfree (generated by MinFreeManager - used to set Secondary Server to 8MB so that my LiveView works a little bit nicer)

01sysctl:

#!/system/bin/sh
busybox sysctl -p

The last init.d script parses my sysctl.conf which contains: vm.swappiness=35

Oh, I forgot to add: You need busybox (with the run-parts ability) installed in /system/xbin. I used CyanogenMod's build, but stericsson's probably works as well
