[HTC Wildfire S] Henry_01:
Use the libs and kernel from our latest RUU and include them in the explorer ROM.

Try first if that explorer rom cant boot on his own (same processor ... only different cam.)

edit: put the link of the explorer rom in your post. I wil try porting too if I've got time.

Good luck
[HTC Wildfire S] buber82:
It's a kernel issue. Do you use marvel kernel, or the explorer one?
[HTC Wildfire S] Henry_01:
This is the latest RUU from htc explorer. Don't flash it on your WFS.

donwload here!

Use it as a base for porting sense 3.5.

Have build 3 different versions but no boot.

Alquez should try this, he knows which libs stand for what function.
[HTC Wildfire S] djpc:
Im well aware on how porting works, i tried several ways, first i attempted to use kitchen but that was useless, second was where i manually moved kernel and libs into the explorer rom again this did not make bootanimation. Third attempt was to put the framework and apks of the explorer in the marvel rom, this got us to bootanimation.

From there logcat was having issues with framework, so i merged the frameworks of the two roms, and this pushed us a little further. Since the marvel framework was deodexed, it caused issuses so i deodexed the explorer stuff, and then we are where we are now. I will try and work on this today but I am very busy so my time will be limited and I have another rom to work on already

this gives you face lock on any phone free version only gives you face recognition for apps paid gives you lockscreen

update: after using this for a couple of days i have found out it is not 100% fool proof and is not completly secure i would not recommend this app if you hope to secure your phone from other people

update in post 4
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Bronk93:
I tried the free version, seems pretty cool. Thanks for.heads up.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jerrycoffman45:
ok they have updated the app and if you set the security to max it works great so far
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:
Yeah.. but how long does it take to recognize your face? That's the real question.. I was there for a while.. it drove me freaking nuts..:eek:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jerrycoffman45:
mine only takes a couple of seconds the more face training you do the faster it is. i did mine under different lighting
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:
Honestly, I think that all this app does is just look at the pictures that it has in it's "face training" and then just match them.. I know it's kind of what it does... :rolleyes: .. but if you (somebody other than jeff.. you probably have already realized this) will know what I'm talking about
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jerrycoffman45:
I agree that is probably how it works I have tryed it out with about twenty people and it would not let them into the apps I had locked. I just think it is a neat app

Oh and I don't use the liveness detection setting I have it unchecked
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Cjohns8792:
I have the paid version of this app. Difficult because its new but i have not found a way to fool it. You need like five pics at different angles in different lightings, no blurry ones and it works good. Liveness detection in tricky, lockscreen is the only way i use it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sorensonn:
Hi everybody.

I bought my Nexus in December, and some time ago I noticed that screen looks ugly on certain backgrounds, mainly gray ones. So I did a little investigation and it turned out that I was right: picture looks mostly okay on primary colors, but grays shows terrible smudging. I took a photo of it. Do you think it qualifies for a warranty repair? Any of you noticed something like that?

I attach a photo, it's out of focus on purpose, because otherwise there would be a rainbow goo on screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
The screen doesn't look good at lower light with certain colors that's just how it is..

The smudges look like someone wiped the screen with their thumb.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sorensonn:
Screen was cleaned before taking photo. This rainbow effect is more or less visible on any background, but gray is especially bad. Even scrolling webpages is a bit annoying, because starting from top there is a pinkish stripe, then normal, then pinkish again... Yuck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshdu1125:
i have the exact same problem! Gray and white is the worst, and lower backlight is worse. But I realized this is mainly the glass top's fault, while i scroll a page, i can see those sumdges staying in the same spot!, don't know whether a protecting film will help or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sorensonn:
joshdu1125 so I'm not alone then. :) I had a protective film on screen until yesterday and removed it because I hoped it was it's fault. Turned out it's not. Contacted Samsung via email, wonder what they will say.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jkoljo:
Handtec said that some of the first phones (first batches) have worse displays than newer batches. I already sent my phone to them to be replaced.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rey5757:
screen issue

looks like its more or less same problem experienced by G.Note user, like myself..

G.Note Screen Problem Thread

try get "screen filter" from market and lower the intensity of color to let says 30%, check that same grey image, how does it look?..

My screen is much worse than urs if u wanna see... =.="

I am starting to think this problem is universal to all Samsung devices.. Zzzz
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrewlax120:
unfortunatey this is a problem with all samsung devices i suggest getting a kernel with color control such as francos or glados. its a lot better then the color control filter app and runs super smooth , francos kernel also pretty much doubled my battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sorensonn:
rey5757 you are right, less brightness = problem more exacerbated. I you have a photo of your screen, let us see it. :)

amcmearty I'm using Franco's kernel right now, but tried others too, to no avail.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rey5757:
just go to G.Note thread in my last post, at page 65. I don even have to take "out of focus" photo to see it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
This is a problem with the screen at lower brightness levels.. it happens to just about everyone that greys and whites look bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Setito:
My phone also has the red stripe, and white is not uniform.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rey5757:
I doubt that Everyone is affected by this, some people claims they have perfect screen on the other thread.

The problem with this shadow thingy is that is varies greatly on difference screen.

The "Size", "Darkness", "Area" of shadow are INconsistent. Some screen have shadow on top area of screen, some have it at corners, some have it at lower bottom, some have it all over half or screen. Then some have it but barely visible(maybe this fall in perfect screen category), some have it but extremely obvious..

How is all these random quality screen fly out of Samsung?..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rey5757:
Found a perfect SCREEN which is Balanced at 0% brightness + 20% color intensity(screen filter):

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drizzt5:
I screwed up.

I was installing yet another new screen on my phone, and I must have damaged the sensor that dims and brightens your phone. Somehow.

The problem is everything on the phone works, except when I make a phone call. Then the screen turns off and will not turn back on unless I take the battery out. This makes me think the sensor still thinks the phone is held up to my head. None of the buttons work, no matter how much I press them or no matter how long I wait to press them.

I don't know what to replace, otherwise I could likely solve the problem on my own, but I think this issue could be solved on the software side fairly simple.

Could anyone recommend an App (or maybe a ROM.. but that limits me) that disables that stupid head detection? I can not find it in settings either.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
I had a similar problem to this once but it was related to a kernel. When id take the phone away from my head the screen would stay off and not come back on until i would swipe my finger back and forth over the proximity sensor a couple times. The dev of the kernel Tiny figured out the issue and fixed it in his next release. Kind of sounds software related but hard to tell. If it does need replacing its called the "CM3602 Proximity sensor - 0.5mA by Capella Microsystems". I believe this part acts as both the proximity and light sensor. Does your screen still dim and brighten when set on auto brightness? There is an app on the market called "Proximity screen off" but i cant figure out how to get it to work, mabey you can.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
I actually found a simple way to dissable it. Add the line below anywhere in your build.prop

gsm.proximity.enable=false

I verified that it does work.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drizzt5:
I have resorted to that very same app and I can't figure out what to do with it either.

And when I make a phone call, the phone simply stays off ... forever. I can still hear voice mail and all that stuff. I need to take out the battery and power the phone back up after ANY call...

I am pretty sure I know what I did to break it, but I rather fix it software wise if someone could explain what to do. I'll fiddle with that app a little more.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Did you see my post right before your last post. You can dissable the sensor with a build.prop edit.

Use a file explorer to go to /system/build.prop and use a text editor to add the line from my post above.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drizzt5:
I did that, it didn't work. Can it be at the very bottom of the build.prop?

edit: Tried again, it just simply disables all the buttons.

I had this issue once before and it was because I had the sensor covered with a piece of double sided tape. But this time I fear I just straight up damaged the sensor somehow while repairing the screen.

What works:

EVERYTHING!

What doesn't work:

I dial someone or they dial me and if I answer the phone, meaning I enter into a phone call, the screen goes dark and every button is disabled.

Let me try everyone now while I have it in this mode:

1. Power button

2. Volume up and down

3. home

4. menu

5. back

6. search

7. trackball

Only way to get back into home screen is to take out the battery.

Ugh, I wish I had just been more careful. If I can't fix this with software I might have to suck it up and live with this giant pain in the ass until my upgrade time :(
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
The build.prop edit worked for me, and it didnt dissable any buttons. The edit can be anywhere in the file as long as its on it own line. Did you remember to mount system r/w first, and to save the file after editing? Are you rooted and s-off?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drizzt5:
I think so for all that. How do I double check s-off?

Also, I found a way to get the buttons to come back on after I enter a phone call or the phone call ends.

Simply plug the phone into a power charger, because that always wakes my phone up. But other than that I can't find a way and that is useless to me out in the "field".
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
You can see if your s-off by booting into hboot. Pull the battery reinsert and then hold volume down and power untill a white screen appears. The end of the first line should say either s-off ot s-on.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drizzt5:
It says S-off.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Download and flash this thru recovery like you would a rom or mod. http://dinc.does-it.net/dissable_proximity.zip It should dissable it for you. The first boot may take longer than normal as it also clears the cache and dalvik-cache, so be patient.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
I figured out how to use that app Proximity Screen Off, but it wont help you in your situation. What it does is allow you to turn on and off the screen by holding your finger over the proximity sensor for a configurable ammount of time. Basicly created to prevent wear on the power button. I kind of like it, especially since i think my power button is wearing out. Despite cleaning it it tends to stick sometimes.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drizzt5:
Flashing now, I will update you once it is done <3.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drizzt5:
It must be something else. I flashed it and it still refuses to keep the screen on and the only way I can revive it besides taking out the battery is plugging it in to get back to the lock screen....

*sigh*
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
That sucks. To rule out a software issue i would do a nandroid and then flash a fresh rom and see if that fixes it. If not i would say you need a new sensor.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drizzt5:
I might check out the new ICS rom. Maybe by some miracle it will fix the issue.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drizzt5:
I put ICS on it. Ics runs flawlessly. but the phone problem persists :(....

ugh I might just get a new phone... its a damn shame. I wasn't gonna upgrade this phone till it dropped dead.

[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
Hello everyone,

I'm curious if someone is experiencing the problem I am having with Jorte. For some reason all of my activities will shift one day ahead. For example, my noted activities for going to the gym consists of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. When I open the calendar, the dates shift one day ahead. So instead of being what I have it listed as. It would be Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

I am wondering how do I fix this problem. Has anyone experienced the problem with Jorte? By the way it is a calendar app that I prefer to use. Do you guys think I messed up something when I scheduled another activity? Any help would be appreciated.

:-)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dragonithe:
So I've got my prime today, I'm verry happy about the tablet.

There's just one problem that I've got with it.

The screen looks overexposed. The whites looks way brighter than I feel it should be.

And the colors are also a lot lighter than they are on my Desire.

(I've tested it with this app).

Is this common for a ips plus display or is it a software / hardware problem?

EDIT: Screen settings are IPS+ off at +-20%.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] curreyr:
Share some settings!

Is that with the IPS+ on? What's the backlight at?

Granted that pic does show crappy blacklevel, but you're probably the first to biatch about the screen.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dragonithe:
Yea sorry about not mentioning the settings.

It's IPS+ off at +- 20%

Maybe I'm just spoiled by the amoled of my desire. But when I've got an 'legacy' app that has a pup up that turns the rest of the screen dark. It seems to me that that's the way the screen should always be.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danny80y:
I agree it is a bit overexposed over 50% brightness and if the IPS+ is on. Really like it when using it outdoors! Not many tablets are even useable outside......
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dragonithe:
I agree it's awesome outside, but what does it mater if it looks weired inside..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] voldemarz:
I have a bit different overexposure problem.

I noticed that white becomes overexposed after watching some sort of video. For example when I watch something and then hit home button the white label texts below icons are harder to read and icons look a bit too pale. Then in about 20 seconds it gradually becomes normal. I'm not sure if it was like that right from the start, most likely no (I own it about 10 days).

It happens for Default Player, DICE Player, MX Video Player, ZiXi Player, YouTube app. Didn't happen for YouTube videos played full screen in browser.

Any idea what is happening?

I'll try to make some pictures tomorrow.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MirQoo:
I think its because of that Didim technology which saves battery by adjusting contrast and brightness. http://phandroid.com/2011/11/18/nvi...logy-didim-reduces-display-power-consumption/ and its so f/in annoying while watching movies.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sjaakbanaan:
This is indeed the culprit in my experience, and it's easily resolvable: don't use Power Saving mode!

When Power Saving mode is enabled, some parts of the interface / apps seem over-exposed, also text looks a little bit more faded somehow. After switching to Balanced or Performance mode, that's all gone.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] voldemarz:
Thanks! Yes, I guess that's because of that DIDIM technology. But it happens also in balanced mode, only in performance mode I have no overexposure.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mytouch4gnoob:
I just ran the new miui rom for mytouch 4g the v.12.30 its the darkside mod. the rom works fine but for some reason the sms app won't work anymore. I click on the app and I can see I got a new text but it doesn't notify me (and I have checked the settings and they are on). But when I click on the conversation the new message doesn't show up in the conversation? but I can see it in the conversation list but not when I actually click on the person (i hope that makes sense) I even tried a third party app and the new messages don't show up in the conversation either.

What can I do? should I run the whole rom again?

It was working fine until I added the ultimate iphone theme on and then after that this problem occurred. I have deleted the theme but, still have the problem :confused::(
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick_hunter:
Sounds like it was the theme that broke it, and the damage has been done. I'd reflash the ROM and see if the problem gets fixed. If the app works, then you know not to use that theme. Always make a backup before using a theme. Sometimes they work just fine, sometimes they break things.

Oops - getting ahead of myself here. The problem I'm trying to solve is the "recovery mode, yellow triangle with <!>" issue. So I'm going to have to at least flash stock recovery.

And where will the fun in that be?

Stripping down the system can help you learn about how it works, and skills and experience you'll gain may serve you, long after the device has been recycled.

This is why he has posted the question in a developer forum, and not a fan one.

On topic

Seems like a neat idea, but as far as removing the phone functionality to gain extra battery? Why not just use Airplane mode? You'd never know when you might need just a phone.

Other than that, I'm sure that you can remove most of it (the apk's that is), and i suppose you could make a script to startup Music.apk upon boot.

I know that the emulator is slow on most normal PCs, but I'd advise trying what you want on the emulator first, just in case. You can even make a list of what you are removing as you go, so you'll know what can break the system, and what isn't going to have any effect.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stewart1988:
Thanks kurdo_kolene didn't think about airplane mode!

Think I'm going to have to play around with this the weekend to see what can go and what has to stay!

My nexus one has a broken power button so swapping out the sim cards is not possible unless I have a charger to power it back up. So I had no plans of putting a sim card in it but since airplane mode should shut all the radios off it should be fine to leave the basic phone functions as it is.
