just so everyone knows blacks usually use no power at all on an amoled display, however when you apply a screen filter everything black is now a slight tone of colour depending on which filter you added, this means that your screen will be using more power as every single pixel will always be on.

yeah, I know, but my video`s were really bad in dark scenes, total back areas of blotchyness, it was unwatchable, And i was really happy with my screen no yellow/green tinge or anything :(

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RudiRulez:
Just been experimenting, Im using the trial version of 'Privacy Filter' and ive got it set to white and lowered it to just barely above the bottom of the scale, and well......OP is certainly on to something, on the gamma test image I can see every step as it should be yet ive got it set so low that it seems like black is still black as in I cant notice a difference between screen off and screen on on the black parts.

Things to note though, if you set the slider too low blacks become grey again and also the app im using gives my phone lag but as a proof of concept it deffinatley works and theres no reason why devs couldnt include something like this in there roms.

I will keep experimenting with different apps and settings, Im yet to try a paid app so that will be next, ill try and get some photos up in a bit.

Photos:

Side by side comparison, Without filter <-----------------------------------------------------> With filter.

And the filter settings im using.

Edit: After some more experimenting 'Privacy Filter' by S-LINK SOFT for 85p is the one im going for, I set all the colours to 255 and set the alpha to 3 and it sorts my problems, also the app allows you to choose which apps you want it to activate in, obviously you should do some testing for yourself but this certainley sorted mine.

Edit: Still really bad blotches on certain parts of certain videos, not a solid fix overall.

Hi Guyz I compiled a script that can flash boot.img from CWM Recovery and it will not increaseCustom Bin Count.

You can Install Custom Kernel 1000000 times without increasing your Custom Bin Count.

Thanks to Koush for providing source: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_bmlunlock

Version 2.0 is here with new features:

•Automatic backup of old boot.img/kernel when you flash a new boot.img/kernel.

The old boot.img can be found afterwards with OLDboot.img name.

•Automatic unmount of sdcard after flashing. (As requested by some users)

•No need to unzip and zip this version, just place this tool and boot.img on root of sdcard and flash tool from Recovery mode.

Instructions:

•To flash kernel/boot.img, just place Boot.img_flasher_V2.0_faqbly_2.zip and your boot.img on the root of your sdcard.

•Boot in CWM Recovery and flash Boot.ing_flasher_V2.0_faqbly_2.zip

•Your OLD boot.img will be backed up as OLDboot.img on your sdcard.

Download V2.0: http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach.../5/9/6/6/9/Boot.img_flasher_V2.0_faqbly_2.zip

Ill admit I was using leaked ICS roms for a while but after the official ones came out I did factory reset, formatted cache,system,data, cleared cache and dalvik prior to installing the official ones.

Just curious.

Otherwise is there any other way to know what is causing it?

I maybe a newbie here at XDA, great community though! :) Infact, this is my very first Android phone so expect me to have some mistakes.. :rolleyes:

But anyways, I ported Ice Cream Sandwich Transitions/Animations for Stock Deodexed Gingerbread XXKPH 2.3.4.

How do I flash it?

Using Root Explorer, Just copy and paste it to /system/framework/. You will be asked to replace and overwrite the old one, Just select OK. Your phone will crash for a couple of seconds but don't panic! It will be alright! :D After that, your phone will reboot. That's it! :D

Note: The ICS animations will be only activated when you use Live Wallpapers. The Default Animations are APPLIED BY DEFAULT when you use any Stock Wallpaper.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shriom_manerker:
gud job :) but why not create for the latest firmwares like XXKPU or DDKP3 ? these are currently widely used :) m just suggesting :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Silentkiller101197:
Thanks! :)

XXKPU is awful interms of battery life, then I tried XXKPH.. it's the best stock ROM for me. (in my opinion) Haven't tried DDKP3 yet, but maybe i'll try it soon if I have a time.. :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] luiseteyo:
I am sorry byt that is not true... I have had my best battery life with kpu... is the smoothest in my opinion and very very stable. If u could port it to KPU you would make us a big favour
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Silentkiller101197:
Even though XXKPH is old now, it's still the best Stock ROM for me (in my opinion). Anyways PM me the "framework-res.apk" and I will try to make it for XXKPU.. :D

It's my understanding that you would need to update the build.prop file after you flash a new rom.

That build.prop will work for AT&T as well as the two companies use most of the same frequencies. I've heard a report of 3G service being received via an AT&T SIM using this but haven't tested myself as i am awaiting my SIM from AT&T. I'll update this post with a link to the thread i found the report in. Different build.prop but only in terms of ROM and locale.

In order to use the device on AT&T, you must flash the XT883 radio and build.prop for the device to run on the network. You will get 3G speeds.

I've been with android since the G1 before there was even a touch screen keyboard available. I love having a phyical keyboard. I went from the G1 to the MyTouch 3G slide which was ok but its not a full keyboard and you have to shift for numbers. The G2 seems to have been that last high end QWERTY that was worth buying. I dony consder anything from the mytouch line high end. The Droid 4 seems great but not being able to upgrade the battery is a huge downfall since i always buy extended batteries. I have a G2x which is a great phone spec wise but i am truly sick of touch screen typing. Does anyone else feel that companys are trying to hard to make phones that look like iphones?

Yeah i dont get it, the 1st android had a full keyboard and it was great, the same with the G2 but since then you dont see anything worth buying. I dont even care about a slim factor, i always put extended batteries on my phone since phone technolgy gets better bet batteries stay the same so its either stay tethered to a charger or buy a big battery.
