[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManSamVampire:
Init.d is a set of scripts that is executed during the initialisation phase of the phone. So, instead of increasing the size of the tiny boot image by adding a few more lines into init.rc, you can create a script and add it to the init.d folder.

As far as I know, init.d runs after init.rc has completed execution, but still much before Android boots, so you can use it to apply your memory management mods.

From your message above, I feel you haven't understood some things properly. Init.d is not a file but a folder which can contain many number of scripts which are executed one by one in alphabetical order at boot time. It is usually located at /system/etc/init.d or /etc/init.d.

In most of the phones this folder is absent by default because the stock kernel doesn't support init.d.

Refer to this to get init.d support on your phone without having to switch to a new kernel.

The Dithered Dark Holo Background mod replaces the original background_holo_dark.png file in the framework-res.apk.

Stock vs Dithered: (levels were adjusted to highlight the difference)

Example

Samsung AMOLED users:

The Black Dark Holo Background mod replaces the background_holo_dark.png to a all black (0,0,0) version of it. This is useful for those trying to maximize their battery life. A black background essentially turns off the pixels due to the way AMOLED works.

Files are attached to this post. Use CWR/TWRP to flash.

Credits:

Big thanks to endursa, jmattp, KamikaZeeFu, and Walhalla for their previous work modding the background on the HOX. Give them a thanks!

i made a VRTheme update.zip for the Dithered Holo Background so that you can flash it to every ROM without ever need to update it again. I send the link to Zabalba as i am not allowed to post external links. I am here since 2008 but never posted that much :(

Just flashed the all black one and must say i like it ^^

To bad all to many apps use there own background :\
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Zabalba:
Yea it is. But it will be much better soon. Cupercurio mentioned in a tweet he fixed the gradient/banding/black crush issues with Voodoo Color.

Soon you won't even need the holo mod :D
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] naishadh:
What this mod mean .sorry noob question but with omega 4.2 its inbuilt but i dont see any diff.pl tell me.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Zabalba:
If Omega ROM integrated the original mod, then you will not notice a difference. It's already there.

Now if you flash the black background version there will be a difference. Look at the example image I have linked at the top of the OP. Instead of a gradient it will be all black.

i just found this thread after posting my question elsewhere, i now presume the lines on my screen are 'banding' although it is a lot more noticeable on some apps than others ....am i correct?

this is a pic of the zeam pref pane which is the worst, although all ics menus have them .....so is this a software or hardware issue?

Just flashed (CWM) the Black Holo Background, but how do I 'enable' it?

Flashed it, nothing changed. Trying to change the background, but can't find it anywhere. Please help :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Zabalba:
That gets into customizing touchwiz. I only changed the original modification to work for our phones. I'm not on that level yet...

This is definitively a software issue. For ****s and giggles flash CM9 or AOKP and you will see 'out the box' you don't need to use the fix. It the way Sammy Roms are programmed to display gradients.

There are quite a few apps that use their own holo background built into the app, instead of calling for the android appointed background. Only way to change this is to modify the apk, use CM9 or AOKP, or wait for Supercurio to release his voodoo mod for the S3.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daAppu:
Guys,

After owning an HTC Mozart myself for over a year, I went to buy Nokia Lumia 710 for my sister. I bought the 710, unpacked it in the shop and found the display screen to be utterly horrible in brightness, color display and viewing at side angles. I compared three phones together- the newly purchased 710, the demo 710 at the shop and my Mozart, and observed the following-

The demo 710 has same brightness and contrast as my S-LCD Mozart. Only it looked quite poor at angled view.

The stock 710, on the other hand, had a screen which was worst ever I saw on a smartphone. It looked like as if some dirt got inside screen. The white background was marred by yellow and brown gleams. Or as if someone pasted a brown tint on the screen. I even removed the plastic cover on the screen but no change. At angled view, it was just plain horrible to look at, a very dim screen with huge brown tint. I showed to the shop that there was massive difference between display of demo and stock 710.

The shopkeeper unpacked two more 710s and both of them were found to have display far inferior to the screen of demo 710. I returned the phone and got my money refunded. Now my question is- Was the shop having a bad batch of Lumia 710? Or, does Nokia fleece their customers by giving demo models S-LCD screens and actual models only sub-standard TFT?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianpee:
I think it's just the shop that got screwed over. Mine looks fine. That or my eyes are stupid.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daAppu:
Thanks for replying. Everyone is also telling me that the shop must be selling defective pieces. Given that you own a Lumia710, can you please tell me how its screen fairs in comparison to other screens like S-AMOLED and S-LCD? Thanks in advance.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] constantinos360:
I own a Lumia 710 and i have to say that the screen is great!!! Great colours and especially blacks if you consider the fact that it is not AMOLED. The only downside is that when you go outside and there is a lot of sunlight, then you might have some problems reading what is on the screen.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianpee:
I don't have other devices to compare it with but I usually avoid looking at the screen at an angle because the colours looks yellower.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daAppu:
Thank you guys for replying. I did notice yellower display when looking at an angle. Though the demo Lumia 710 displayed nothing like that. I would have liked it if Nokia kept same display for both demo and stock Lumia 710. Thanks again for your replies.

Mods, my query has been answered. Please feel free to close this thread.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babu.rajiv2007:
So its true, eh?

Screen visibility of the Lumia 710 is bad outdoors?

Reviews that i read online said the inverse. Now, i'm confused :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daAppu:
Sadly yes. Though the demo 710 is fairly okay outdoors but real 710 is just impossible to use outdoors.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babu.rajiv2007:
That's sad to hear :(

Guess i'm even more confused...

I had intentions to go for Samsung Omnia W with the super AMOLED display when one of my friend told that the Omnia W can not be unlocked, and stuff..

So, i decided to stick with Lumia 710.

But, i use my phone mostly outdoor, and i guess after reading your comment, i might stick with the Omnia W. Damn!

Its tough to choose between these phones.

I downloaded this: http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/app/namefixer and installed it with Astro. When I set everithyng up and hit "write names" is shuts down. I am searching the web for solutions for a while now, but found nothing.

I could fix this under the people menu as I can set how to sorte the names there, but I can not fix it under call.

Do you have any idea?

Please it would be much appreciated if clear STEPS are shown..

[General Questions and Answers] muftiazan:
Procedure

Gingerbread

--------------------------------------------

You will be needing rooted Gingerbread for upgrading to ICS

--------------------------------------------

Root 2.3.6 :

--------------------------------------------

You have to use Super One Click 2.3.3

Before Root enable USB Debugging in Applications>Development

Open Super One Click as Admin if on Win7/Vista. Connect Phone. Click Root

--------------------------------------------

ICS

--------------------------------------------

You will need to install Clock Work Mod from ROM Manager for the procedure

-------------------------------------------

Procedure

-------------------------------------------

1. Go to Clock Work Mod recovery using the 3 key combo : volume UP + home button + power button, keep those pressed until it goes into the Clock Work Mod recovery.

2. Using the volume buttons to navigate up and down select Wipe Data/Factory Reset by pressing the home button, hit YES. Wait for it to finish and then Wipe Cache the same way you did with Wipe Data/Factory Reset. NoW Go to advanced menu> Wipe Dalvik Cache.Go back to main menu.

3. Now it`s time to flash the ICS SGS ROM :

4. Select install zip from sd card > choose zip from sd card> browse for the zip u downloaded>choose YES and let it do the magic. If it happens to reboot immediately into Clock Work Mod recovery with a different look (blue), it means it actually flashed just the ICS Kernel first.

Note: If u dont get to Clock Work Mod then you have done it.

5. If you do get there then browse for the zip again and flash it this time it will take longer as it has to install the complete ROM

6. Now all you need to do is wait for it to finish.After the flashing is done> Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache as you already know how to do it

7. Choose Reboot System Now. It takes 5-15 minutes to boot.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mohsen1984:
If you relock your bootloader after flashing stock rom (which I think is neccessary for updating to official ics BUT I'm not sure) you need to unlock it again and then you'll be able to flash new kernels.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
But you need not lock your bootloader. You can download flashtool and then flash the ftf files that you will get here in XdA as soon as the update is released. So that way your bootloader remains unlocked, and yet you will be running 4.0.4.
