Could someone post a couple of the Comparison pics on here for me and say which is which?

I'm on my Phone, and Google drive says I need to update my flash player to view the pictures
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
Thanks for doing that. I didn't mean for you to have to repost the links because I was too lazy to register on the site. ;)
[HTC One X] twistedh:
Easy? Easy?!?! Growl! :p

I suppose we better get used to it, they'll be no end of comparisons while the gs3, HOX and iphone are fighting for top spot.

I'd like to see a gs2 vs gs3 comparison, to see how much they have actually improved.

Not a problem. If I wasn't already registered i would be too lazy to register my self.:D

Indept Camera & Video Details
[HTC One X] starbase64:
Both are equally good.
[HTC One X] fuzzifikation:
no, they're not equally good. The SGS3 has a yellow tint on it and is significantly less sharp.

Also.. picture quality has little to do with the sensor itself. It has all to do with optics.

(and from a photographers view: putting a 8MP sensor in a phone is bogus as no optics on a phone allow for that resolution on the sensor.)

But.. anyway: The SGS3 has the camera hardware not finalized. This might change until the first units ship. I promise that the yellow tint will dissapear in the SGS3 - but it will stay less sharp than the HOX.

But nevertheless, the HOX is significantly better. Really - and I don't own one but do consider myself a amateur photographer.

And one more thing on the sensor used: In that user review from "boodies" he talks about the sensor of the HOX being the same as in the SGS2. So what? It's just a sensor. The sensor does not get you image quality (read: sharpness). It get's you color accuracy and light sensitivity (together with the aperture).

No sensor can produce image quality (read: sharpness) as this is solely the part of the optics (read: the lenses). Nobody should give a damn about which phone uses which sensor. The images posted here clearly show the results: actual resolution, color accuracy and lighting is waaay better on the HOX.

period. (and I'm not a fan-boy - I look at the pictures alone)

I wish photographers would review smartphone cameras. Smartphone people know some stuff about user interface, CPUs and GPUs - but image quality is the topic of photographers.

Here's a mean statement: Maybe the yellow tint on the SGS3 is compensated by a blueish tint of the AMOLED ? :-)

[HTC One X] Eggcake:
I think it's really too early to judge. Software really matters here - I'll wait at least for the final device. Even HTC improved the camera with update 1.29 and I hope it's keep getting better. Too bad they have such aggressive compression :(
[HTC One X] Mcyates:
Yeah totally agree, it will be or should be much much better when they tweak it.

---------- Post added at 07:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------

Just realised the permissions were wrong for the album!!! You should be able to see them, the HTC ONE X is the first image, then the second is the SGIII
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
From their press release, it doesn't seem that they've made a lot of advances in the camera. The zero-lag shutter and improved background illumination being the most noteworthy.

Its 8MP camera features a zero-lag shutter speed that lets you capture moving objects easily without delay – the image you see is the picture you take. With the ‘Burst shot’ function that instantly captures twenty continuous shots, and the ‘Best photo’ feature that selects the best of eight photographs for you, the GALAXY S III ensures users a more enhanced and memorable camera experience. Improved backside illumination further helps to eliminate blur in photos that result from shaking, even under low lights.

Mcyates, what were they both like to actually use?
[HTC One X] ArDark:
nice nice. HOX pictures roxx :) and if count SGS-III design, they loose in all.

Even if not count Sense, that i love sooo much :)
[HTC One X] AndreiLux:
Considering the HOX has the S2 sensor, and these images would indicate that the S3 is worse than the S2. I'm taking it with a mountain of salt.
[HTC One X] Reckless187:
Whatever you do, don't post this thread or link in the SIII Forum lol. They dont take knidly to any sort of criticism or negative news regarding their amazing phone with the all of a sudden amazing pentile Display!!! :p
[HTC One X] treebill:
I know right? I've seen a.review that came up on google news tech section saying to stay clear of the s3 all together.
[HTC One X] Lucasm93:
Sensor do matter in the image quality for sake! A new sensor, with new improvments will have better quality since it will handle ISO and noise, colors, and pretty much everything better. The GSIII images seem to be out of focus and really noisy. This is either a software issue or a huge mistake by Samsung.

I'm really interested in the cameras on both of these phones, since one of them will be my next one. :D

But I'll only make this decision after the GSIII hit stores and we have real results.
[HTC One X] anoniemouse:
The only way anyone will get a real perspective of the 2 phones is when they are both finally working properly.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
It's only a couple of people. A lot of serious XDA'rs and devs will join the forum after the phone launches and will run them off the board. There's nothing concrete to discuss so it's just esoteric "mine's bigger than yours" posts for now. The SGS2 forum didn't take too kindly to meaningless chatter and I can't imagine the SGS3's will either. I'm done with it until the phone actually launches.
[HTC One X] fuzzifikation:
as I've mentioned before, let's not talk about the sensors. does anyone here know anything about the lenses that htc or samsung use?

here's the thing: for good image quality, good physical light processing is necessary. the more light you get in and the more even the picture is laid on top of the sensor (for lack of a better description of what's happening), the better. this is the reason four the huge lenses and sensors in DSLRs. a big lens is much easier to produce in a high quality fashion. even glass can only be shaped to a finite surface precision. and we're talking about dslr lenses.

lenses in smartphones cannot be machined as they are tiny. thus, they are of really bad quality.

the more space a company is willing to revere for the lens, the bigger the chances to increase picture quality.

Samsung has decided to use a smaller camera package than htc (from the looks of it). it would be a huge surprise to me if they should improve picture quality over htc.
[HTC One X] fuzzifikation:
and one more thing about mega pixels.

a while ago (don't have the link) Canon issued a statement that, physically (the lens) can only be machined to a precision of 25MP for their DSLRs with APS-c sensors.

a sensor with more pixels would only increase file size without adding more picture information to it.

now. . let's talk about phones. . some people think that that tiny lens on any smartphone is good for 8 or 12MP?? no way. what matters is the lens quality and that only comes with lens size.
[HTC One X] Rekoil:
I bet someone is trolling us all, no offense to everyone wishing to hate on the S III, but I don't buy for a second that these images are taken by a Galaxy S III, they look ****.
[HTC One X] Reckless187:
Really!?!?!? It aint that bad, it's kind of growing on me tbh!
[HTC One X] Lucasm93:
Why ignoring the sensor my friend?

HTC went with the old sensor/higher aperture aproach.

Samsung used the new sensor/smaller aperture.

The new sensor on the SIII probably compensates the smaller aperture with a better ISO handling, noise reduction, better metering, etc.

In my opinion these pictures are fake. I dunno how someone could have taken the SIII for a ride outdoor.

Plus, software will be improved untill and after release.

I'm betting that picture quality will be the or near the same in both.

Ask Zeiss to make a lens for a sensor like the one in the One X, it really won't look much better than that.
[HTC One X] nikorette:
Care to share the sauce
[HTC One X] kythor:
I wish phone companies would state their camera's sensor types and sizes in their brochures instead of mega freaking pixels.
[HTC One X] robt772000:
Does the Hox have the same sensor as the sgs2? I thought the s2 took great shots.
[HTC One X] Eggcake:
I might be completely off here, but I read somewhere that the HOX actually uses the same sensor as the SGS2...please correct me if I'm wrong :)
[HTC One X] tkolev:
Better ISO handling on a sensor that gets pretty hot while using the phone? Yeah, right! The only thing that matters is the amount of light that reaches the sensor i.e. aperture and lens quality. Everything else is marketing and rebranding of old products, just to say "it's the new sensor, buy it".

Hi, I have a Norwegian p1000 with cmda and have done the re-stocking, and tried to install update-cm-9-20120606-NIGHTLY-p1c-signed.zip, but get the Status 7 error.

I also had a problem following the howto-install-list. Everything went fine until install any kernel from humberos... when i did that, the screen was black. Flashed it back to overcome.

Then i saw someone said skip that...

And other howto's say nothing about humberos kernel... so i tried with the ocercome from the re-stock howto..

I have read some posts, and see some possible solutions.

I've tried the mount /efs via ADB, but it did not work. I got it mounted, but i get the same error!

I saw the tip about removing the assert function, but now i just have to ask if i have done everything right, or if there is something else i need to do...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
If yours is p1000(GSM) then don't get the p1c (cdma).

Grab the p1 build.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sayan67:
Well, actually, maybe i think wrong. GSM is to me slow networks, cdma is faster...

But what we have in norway derives from GSM, and is called UMTS or WCDMA... So, if that means i need GSM, please tell me!

Thanks for you answers!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
yes, that was what I said.

Yours is GSM. CDMA is a different technology.

WCDMA is not the same as CDMA.

You need the p1 build. It is for P1000 tab.

---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 AM ----------

forgot to add, you don't need to flash extra kernel on top of it.

The p1 build will be right.

FYI, there are p1, p1n, p1l and p1c, if I am not mistaken.

The L/N are all GSM and more similar to P1 but need its specific kernel for the touchscreen. Usually sold in Latin America.

My HTC Desire was Power + Vol Down to boot into the bootloader and Power + Vol Down + Trackpad to do a soft reboot

Since there's no way to take the battery out of this badboy, how do i reboot hte phone if necessary?

NOTE/EDIT: So i guess it's Vol down + Power?

I pressed them at the same time and just held them for a while. The soft buttons at teh bottom flashed on and off for a bit, then just stopped.

I then pressed vol down + power again and held it and eventually hte bootloader came up

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danada:
You can do a reboot by holding the power button for 10 seconds.

I have tried multiple play store fixes from around the web and seemed to receive multiple force closes and various other issues when trying to launch Google play and Google apps. So, I decided to take the time to actually fix the files for the rom that I am currently using. Therefore, if you are someone who modified the DPI of your phone manually, happens to be running the Alpha for CM9 (or are willing to try with other roms) you can download the Vending.apk and GoogleServicesFramework.apk from this thread here and see if it helps you too. I should mention that you have to Clear data on the Google Play Store after replacing the files so it can again work properly.

I know many people are going to just say "why didn't you just download LCDModderPro, since it has the market fix?" Simple answer, because I wanted to do it myself. That is one of the great things about Android, it's open source and you can modify things to meet your needs. So why did I post this if I just wanted to do it myself? Well, once it was done I figured I might as well share... below are the links if anyone finds it to be useful.

I am requesting that only people more experienced try this one ^^ out. I am trying something different this time around and I only actually edited a couple of lines, literally one in both the GoogleServicesFramework.apk and one in Phonesky.apk. It has been working for me for three days now, if you have an issue or it fails to work let me know.

Don't forget to clear data for the Google Play store after installing

Google Play Version 3.5.19

I downloaded and installed the newest Google Play store version (3.5.19) and it appears that google has changed the display metrics from DPI to Height/Width. I am waiting to see if the old problem of apps becoming unsupported reoccur with the new version. As of now, after clearing data and toying with the DPI some more, I still have access to all my downloaded apps and the error hasn't occurred. I will update if it proves necessary...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] marclabrosse:
Oh nice, I hope the issues will be a thing of the past so we can run custom DPI with no hassle. Thanks for the fix, its appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] elitrix:
I can confirm this. Just installed 3.5.19 running 200dpi. Cleared data and rebooted. New version shows all my apps where before "incompatible" apps would not appear. Finally done with this mod :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PlagueBoy:
Yup. That is what I am seeing here as well. There should be a need to update the original post/files then. If people still want to use 3.5.16 until it is officially pushed to our phones then this will help, otherwise download 3.5.19 and you shouldn't have to worry about your DPI... as far as I can tell anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Voiid:
I wish I would have found this before buying the LCD Density Modder Pro :(

Lol

Thanks for the hard work and the alternative approach to the app on the market! And thanks for the heads up about the new market :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PlagueBoy:
After flashing and trying different roms for a bit, I realized that Market 3.5.19 ultimately ended up having the same issues. I went ahead and updated the APK and updated the OP with the new link for the download. It is a CWM zip, don't forget to clear data after the install.

I have only tested this on CM9 and AOKP roms, it should still work on others… but I thought I should put it out there that I have only personally tested it on those two roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Voiid:
Yeah i can confirm this. 3.5.19 seemed to work for one day or so. But what ended up happening was that the apps just wouldn't show up at all. I normally use dropbox to test it but that always worked on this new market. Dolphin browser, Draw something, app quarantine wouldn't show up in a search. My phone is running sky ics 4.0.3, dpi 180.

EDIT: omg thank you! You are awesome! Thank you for doing this! You are faster with updates then LCD Density Modder pro, they are lagging it with updates. He is still running 3.5.15, amazing! You rock!

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------

I just flashed the 3.5.19 CWM flashable zip you made and it worked great! As soon as i rebooted clear the data and amazing. I cant thank you enough! Thank you :)

If we wanted to do it our selfs, could we extract your zip and take the files? Just wandering for future references. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] s.sharm01:
Just wondering what dpi are you guys using? I tried toying with dpi values on atrix, wanted to get a reference of what the range to look for the sweet spot on the skyrocket

Also i just tried flashing and could not even make it to the boot animation. I'm running the sky ice off the latest leak.

Admittedly i wasn't sure if i was to change the DPI first, reboot, and the flash, or flash clear data then change DPI. I'm back to a nandroid backup, if someone could shed light on this it would be of great help.

Thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PlagueBoy:
I think, at least I found, when doing the math that the native DPI of the phone should be 207.32 and CM9/AOKP tends not to like DPI being set on an odd number, so 208 is what I have settled on. Although, as Voiid mentions he is running 180 and elitrix mentions 200, just find something that works for you!

As for your issue, I haven't been able to replicate it on my phone. You didn't clear the cache/d-cache in CWM after install did you? I have heard there are times when ICS has issues after doing so... if you did that it could be your problem. As for the proper way to do things, well, I have flashed this at many different times with different roms. I recommend clearing data in apps manager after the flash though, that way it has to resend the DPI information mimicking a first boot or launch of the Google Play store. Try downloading the files them selves, extracting them and manually copying them into the /system/apps folder in something like root explorer. Don't forget to change permissions to rw-r-r.

Voiid - I have uploaded the files in non-cwm flashable format so you can just have the modded files and the link is in the OP. However, for future reference, yes you can just extract the files from the app folder in the CWM zip and use them moving forward as updates come along.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] s.sharm01:
Thanks for the reply Plague. The problem i am having seems to be with dpi modder app. I tried changing the dpi to 200, 180 and 210 and all of them sent me into a bootloop (not actually sure if it was a bootloop because the phone never got passed the samsung logo, i'm assuming it was still on). Either way i resolved the issue by using rom toolbox and changing the dpi to 200. Then i flashed the modded play store and its working great. Thank fully i am crazy about having nandroid backups so i didn't loose anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Voiid:
Thank you PlagueBoy for the answer and the help! (:

Yeah I had this issue too! Changing the dpi with LCD Modder Pro caused my phone to not boot too. I am not sure why though some apps that change dpi do that on this phone. On my old phone, the HTC aria, LCD modder worked. So idk. I just use root explorer and go to /system/ open build.prop as a text (make sure the folder is writeable) and change the dpi from within that my self. The line says

ro.sf.lcd_density=240

Its like in the center of the file.

You can change that number to whatever just make sure its a feasible number.

And then save it and reboot.

But you said rom tool box works so thanks for the heads up! (:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PlagueBoy:
I don't have an i9000, but the fix only modifies the Play Store itself and the GoogleServicesFramework.apk so it just may work. Of course, I would recommend that you complete a full backup before you try just in case.
