ok dudes as i already forgot to notice about the ir filter, though cellphone cameras have one, they are much weaker than professional camera's. so if u managed to get more ir light, ofcourse u gan get the results, for that u have to use powerfull ir leds. like 1w or 3w ir leds, google it. i think ebay have them, they are bit cheep.. 9-10 $'s.

and with my k800i, man itz a true camera phone . though itz 3.2mp,( k790,k800,k810 cybershots) no other 3.2 snapz from any other phones( even those having more mp ratings) cant beet itz snapz. and i swear a camera driver modification makz it a small SLR( yap i mean it). with that driver changed i can take picz in 3200 iso, and 2 second shutter speed. ( lol the driver have a hell of options juz like photoshop cs6, u will take atleast a weak to learn all!!!) . so i can take pic even in moon light with out xenon flash. so ir filter is not a problem for it. thats why i got it a success.
[Hardware Hacking General] pmelah:
showlyshah im glad you had success with yours i dont know much about my facinate or cameras. i just recently learned how to root it without brickining my samsung but i intend to try your little experiment with the ir leds i hope i get as much success out of mine as you have with yours
[Hardware Hacking General] Matanceros:
I guess most mobile phones have weak filters? will try it out as soon as i get some IR leds :D

Yap itz just like day. But the odd thing is he is using ready made devices, whereas we are taking about cheep setup which would cost below 20$.

[Hardware Hacking General] showlyshah:
Also guys u can try to make same setup with visible white light source, all u have to care is to obtain an led with cct about 4000-7000 range( don't get confused cct in simple words means the colour of light produced by a light source. Warm white colour( like those of incandescent lamp) have cct below 4000 whereas neutral white( sunlight) ranges from 4000 - 6000 and cool white ( those like cfl's or tubelights) have cct 7000- 8000. ) . So we need neutral white for daylight like illumination. And a 1w or 3w led will do the trick. Check the cct before u buy 1. I personally recommend CREE led for it.

So u need not have to worry if ur phn don't have a flash, or if itz is so poor in lighting. Happy video/ photo shooting...

Regards.

Inform me if u want circuits..

Can you be more specific? I have an old K810 collecting dust, would be great to put cam to use. What driver mod are you using? Where can I get it?
[Hardware Hacking General] Jufjufjuf:
You do realize why IR filters are in pretty much every camera? Well at least one reason. The wave length of IR is much thinner and can travel through light/thin clothing. Try using IR as a source of light, or find a camera without IR filter and rely solely on the suns own IR radiation and we'll be having interesting results ;)

Please corrected me if I'm wrong, I very vaguely know IR filtering and photography.
[Hardware Hacking General] showlyshah:
Check the forum named se-nse.com. the greatest se forum around. For that u have to patch ur phone. If its cid 53, u have to downgrade it to cid 52, then patch, then u have to applay a patch for camera and then change the driver. If u need i will send u the patch and driver.

Yap u r true. But if u totaly remove the ir filter, it will make ur normal pics ugly. So u have to add a manual exposure adjusting window. Ir lights will easily penitrate through thin cloths and thats why i said chickz gona hurt u.

Check you tube. U can view interesting stuffs.

[Hardware Hacking General] cyrillicnl:
The first generation of camera's with IR mode had this "problem", then they made it so that the feature stopped working when there is too much (day)light.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Praseodymium:
I'm a user of Galaxy Player in Republic of Korea.

Both Galaxy Player U.S. Model (G.P. 4.0, 5.0) and G.P. Korea model (YP-GB1, GB70) had Gingerbread 2.3.6 but there are a lot of problems.

First, Do you know about Samsung MP3Player's awesome Sound Effect Technology SoundAlive™? And do you guys know that the SoundAlive in your G.P. U.S. model and Korea model(Gingerbread) is a fake?

The real SoundAlive is in Froyo, and it provides a fantastic Sound Effect. It has Equalizer(has 7 pitches control of level -10~10dB),

Concert Hall effect(Level&Size 0~3),

3D&Bass control(Each level 0~4),

Clarity&High Pitch Upscaler(Clarity 0~2, and High Pitch : On, off).

So I really want G.P.'s developers to recover G.P. Ginger's SoundAlive.

Because U.S. model and korea model's ROM may be very similar, when you succeed porting froyo SoundAlive to U.S model, you can also succeed porting it to korea model.

If there is someone who want to try, I can give you froyo firmware, library file or you can download it from opensource.com. (there is gb1, gb70 froyo source).

Goodbye, it was praseodymium of Korea Galaxy Player cafe.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] vanhoivanbinh:
YESSS, I also want it to

I used to be familiar with those sound efffects

But now, it is missing in GINGERBREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xwatchmanx:
Is there a way I can just root EI22 with superuser and CWM, and just apply a mod to convert from RFS to EXT4, without any fancy ROMs or tweaks, etc? Since my epic is having issues with all EI22 ROMs I've had so far (my phone isn't friendly to the voodoo sound hack for whatever reason), I was hoping i could start from scratch and apply individual mods on my own.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Yes but you still need to flash a modded kernel like Nubernel or Samurai. Put the kernel of choice your phone. Run RFS2EXT4 ad flash the kernel before booting. Or vice a versa since most of those kernels support both file systems.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xwatchmanx:
alright cool. thanks. I'm assuming I run "rfs2ext4" straight from CWM? (sorry, I'm not a n00b in most mods, I promise :-p)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Yes that is correct. I recommend Samurai kernel also.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xwatchmanx:
thanks, man
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xwatchmanx:
How long should it take to boot after this? i rooted and CWMed EI22, went to recovery, wiped data, etc, applied RFS2EXT4.zip, then applied samurai kernel 2.0.4, wiped data, etc again, and rebooted, and i've been stuck at the "SAMSUNG: www.samsungmobile.com" logo for about 20 minutes now.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duce102:
If you wipe data/factory reset after flashing something then your booting nothing.

-Wipe everything

-Install CWM of choice

-Flash rfs2ext4

-Flash stock EI22

-Root

-Flash kernel of choice

-reboot
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xwatchmanx:
You sure about that? I do that on a regular basis with all other mods, and they work fine... but thanks. I'm using ODIN to get back to stock and CWM, and then I'll follow your steps. :-)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
It should take no more than 5 minutes. I assume you meant you Flashed Clean GB. Flash just the ROM then try to boot. Then go back into CWM and flash the kernel and boot, then go back into CWM and run rfs2ext4.

---------- Post added at 07:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 PM ----------

No he's not. Wiping data does just that, only system data and 3rd party apps. It does not wipe system apps or the OS. Do not flash RFS2EXT4 before the CleanGB otherwise you will get stuck again.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xwatchmanx:
um... i just followed all those steps, and have the same result... hang at the samsung logo.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
If you Odin a stock EC05, root and flash clean GB and boot what happens? It should boot. Then you should be able to flash rfs2ext4 and flash the kernel right after.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xwatchmanx:
alright... but after i flash rfs2ext4, do i reboot, go back to recovery, and then flash the kernel, or do i flash rfs2ext4, flash the kernel before rebooting, and then reboot?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Flash the kernel right after the rfs2ext4 without booting. If that still gets you stuck I don't see voodoo sound mentioned in this ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=875075
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xwatchmanx:
That's perfect! thanks! A working EXT4 ROM without the sound mod is precisely what i need. :-D
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Yeah, I felt we were taking the long way there...lol.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xwatchmanx:
Unfortunately, i cracked open the zip file, and this one has the sound mod too... i applied anyway just in case, but the issue still persists. :-(
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
What would happen if you pull it out? If it is embedded substitute that file from CleanGB.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xwatchmanx:
I've tried that with every ROM i've tested so far. no luck. I also finally got EXT4 to work with stock/rooted/cwm ei22 and put the samurai kernel 2.0.4+ on top, and apparently that has the mod too, cuz sound with headphones doesnt work there, either. :-(

I'm practically, for the first time in my life ready to throw my phone against a brick wall and claim TEP on Sprint. -_-
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xwatchmanx:
Ahahahahahaahah i finally got it to work with clean gb!!! I am badass, hear me roar! Mwahahahahahaha!!!!

[Galaxy S II General] gnan10:
first manufactured old galaxy s2s have verylow brightness when compared to new ones....

my bro got one galaxy s2 yesterday...his mobile has heavy brightful display....where as mine is slight yellowish and light when compared to his phone.......

at maximum level his phone is amazing....:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:..where as mine is not....:(:(:(:(:(

whats the reason behind this might be?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
CAn you post a screenshot comparison of both with same brightness levels and settings?
[Galaxy S II General] Odia:
It will dim over time, just as yours has, you cannot compare an AMOLED which has been used for X amount of months to a new one.
[Galaxy S II General] gnan10:
are you sure mate?
[Galaxy S II General] bazzag:
From what I've read, screens differs noticeably from one phone to another, whether it's brightness, green/blue/yellow tints, color vibrance, etc. I think it's due to the fact that AMOLED is still a new technology and has to mature a bit more.

With that being said, and assuming you have auto brightness/power saving features off, how much 'low brightness' your phone is? Is it still noticeably dim on full brightness? Not every phone has to be blindingly bright you know.

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------

AMOLED has a lower lifetime than LCD, meaning that the phone will lose it's brightness faster than LCD, however I doubt that you'll notice any difference before 1.5 to 2 years, depending on usage and brightness setting of course.
[Galaxy S II General] nipip:
Yes, it depends of the time/region/QA check?.

I don't know if it could be called less brightness, but there are different profiles for shure.

[Galaxy S II General] Odia:
The OP was talking about the first manufactured SGS2's so I guess we are approaching these timescales and it will dim over a shorter time than 1.5 years but not noticable unless compared how he did, e.g. against a new screen.
[Galaxy S II General] narcoustic:
I have noticed this too. Me and friend both purchased galaxy s2s in June (i preordered & recieved mine from 02 the first week of june I.e. their first ever batch) and both the displays were noticeably dimmer than another friends purchased only a month or so later.

Obviously this was only when compared directly but it was still somewhat surprising.

My s2 is now 6 months old and my brother has one that's less than a month old, and my dad has one which is about 3 months old.

I will compare the screens and report back any noticeable differences.
[Galaxy S II General] goTouch:
I have a Nexus One since its release and I can't notice anything wrong about the brightness.

I use my gs2 at 25% brightness at day time and at night 15%. I don't use any power saving options or auto brightness.
[Galaxy S II General] narcoustic:
Just compared my screen to my brother's and my dad's and theirs is definitely noticeably brighter. My brothers is a month old roughly I.e. 5 months newer than mine, and my dad's is 2 months newer than mine.

Any idea why this would be the case?
[Galaxy S II General] Athavan:
Have you checked that both were in same brighteness and brightness settings I.e movie, custom,etc...
[Galaxy S II General] stuclark:
My phone was the 4009th one built (check your IMEI number, it's possible to work out) and it's display is *MUCH* brighter than a brand new, replacement screen (original Samsung screen, not an eBay knock-off) that I bought for a friend's SGS2 about a month ago, so I'm afraid your argument at its basis is flawed.
[Galaxy S II General] htcplussony:
I remember seeing a picture of where tens of S2s where lined up and the brightness were all over the place. It is what it is.
[Galaxy S II General] ambar_hitman:
It is quite visible in some phones. I got my I9100G and my friend got I9100 at the same time. Mine is manufactured in October 2011 and his one is manufactured in August 2011. His screen is noticeably yellow compared to mine. Also, he is on 2.3.3 and I am on 2.3.6. Maybe its the GB version which has different colors.
[Galaxy S II General] bazzag:
I think it's this one.

[Galaxy S II General] gnan10:
is this still going on decreasing in brightness buddies......????????

or will it stops at certain level.........already ful deppressed by this low brightness..........:(:(:(:(
[Galaxy S II General] bazzag:
Look at the bright side (no pun intended), the brighter the screen is the faster it will dim-out and lose it's brightness (Read more on AMOLED lifespan). Also brighter screens are more susceptible to image burns, and obviously eat battery faster. So yeah, I wouldn't be so depressed if I were you.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] greatwyrmm:
Hopefully someone can help. My wife's Bionic has a weird issue now. Just recently it became completely silent for intoning calls. There is a ringtone set and the volume is set to full (settings/soun/volume). It just WILL NOT make a sound for ANY intoning call. The notification ring tones work for emails, texts and missed calls etc. No matter what I do, I can not get it to ring for intoning calls. I have done a few battery pulls and have even pulled the battery, some card and set card and let it sit completely removed from any power source for 10 minutes. I then put it back together and powered it back up, let it completely run its boot cycle and become idle, called it and NOTHING. The screen does show the incomming call info and you can see that there is a call if you are looking directly at it. However as i have stated, no sound or vibration even. My last resort will be a data wipe, but it will be a LAST RESORT. She does have quite a few childrens games on it for our nieces. Zedge was installed but i uninstalled it for the time being. I am at a complete loss and any advice sending me in the right direction would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance
[Motorola Droid Bionic] greatwyrmm:
Nevermind. LOL

So I went to settings/call settings/other call settings/Caller ID Readout taped for dropdown and selected "Ring Only". Thats all it took. It was set to "Caller ID Repeat" and the Voice input & output settings had been screwed up. Re installed SVOX Classic TTS and my U.S. English Voice "Dark Lord" option, set all my SVOX and TTS to what i need them to be and problem solved. No data reset!!!! AWESOME!!!! :D

I didnt ***** at him in that thread but i did not like it when he quoted me than talked **** about me for 4 paragraphs. Only later he realised he was wrong but the damage was done when he said things that were uncalled for in my instance. Its lame it did get shut down due to slightly lame posts. Honestlt the people who were actually going to donate money still will so thats not hurt but i was unhappy it got shut down because alot of people really enjoyed that thread and had a great time. My 2cents
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wolfkstaag:
Be best to just leave it alone, doncha think?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
One of the excuses for closing it down was due to it not being for a particular dev but just in general. I agree there was some minor bickering going on but the main reason for that thread should have prevailed over the few arguments that took place.

There was obviously a lot of interest based on the amount of money that was raised and it is unfortunate that doesn't matter here.

I guess if someone wanted to start another bounty thread up and say it is for team Viper to deliver ICS to the E4GT then that would abide to the XDA rules...
