Faux posted on twitter today that he is done with a Color Kernel and app for the Nexus 4 which also uses a LCD panel as apposed to the SAMOLED panel the Gnex has. I asked about the Nexus 7 and he said he has plans to make one for the N7 as well..
[Nexus 7 General] snarlytaz:
I am such a newbe here I can't say much yet but that would be awesome. I use Faux123 already. If it can be done - it will be done.
[Nexus 7 General] tytung2020:
Does it need to be rooted? I hope it doesn't.
[Nexus 7 General] altimax98:
Yeah it'll require root

Looking to straight up trade my VZW Nexus for a Play Store Nexus.. contact me at Altimax98@gmail.com :)
[Nexus 7 General] Kearkan:
this has me excited

---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

what settings did you use?
[Nexus 7 General] snarlytaz:
6/6/0/24 like I mentioned very small but does have impact. Brighter screen might need a little more on red and blue. So not to act as pure filter need to find the best setting with that alpha number being small.
[Nexus 7 General] RaptorZX3:
i do know that all screens are different, even if they come from the same factory, and same kind of screen. They will always have a very minimal difference in brightness, contrast and color tints.
[Nexus 7 General] barthie:
datacolor posted a call for android users in an august blog post. i just found it this week and emailed them. within a couple of hours i received a response with the spydergallery apk attached. i have 100+ photos from a trip to chicago on my tablet and will play around with it this weekend.
[Nexus 7 General] overhaze:
Are spydergallery adjustments system wide or just in app?
[Nexus 7 General] PhillyCheez:
That's true. It's the same with TVs. Which is why you can't just copy someone's calibrated TV settings even if you have the same TV.
[Nexus 7 General] RaptorZX3:
Yes, but it does help, if all Nexus 7 have a slight yellow-ish tint, someone can recommend a setting to start with, and then fine-tweak it from there.
[Nexus 7 General] barthie:
tried it out. it only works in the spydergallery app. it does make abig difference. if there was a way to apply the adjustments to all apps or just to ps touch, i would be thrilled.
[Nexus 7 General] snarfington:
Hi, are you able to share any photos of the screen in and not in the app (or is it even possible to make a reasonable comparison on camera) ? I'm sure we would all appreciate it a lot!
[Nexus 7 General] barthie:
i tried taking pictures of the screen with my phone but there was alot of glare, so i tried screenshots figuring you can at least compare the calibrated screenshot to the uncalibrated. i emailed datacolor asking if there are plans for this app to have the capability to work with other apps. if i can't properly adjust levels in PS Touch, what good does it do me?
[Nexus 7 General] raggedstone:
I think the only way to get the screen properly calibrated is using a kernel that supports it. I'm not all that optimistic anyone is working on it (although I seem to remember someone said they were considering trying to include it in faux kernel. I wish Google would stick in in the stock kernel. Would be a great selling point for photo use, and also improves movies.
[Nexus 7 General] charlesky:
It's useful for showing properly-calibrated images to others, but that's about it - this is worth having if you're showing pictures to clients though. The problem is that the calibration system needs to insert its conversion tables into the display chain, and that's only supported on its own custom app. For it to work on other apps there needs to be OS-level implementation of colour profiles, which isn't there. I'd certainly like to see Google implement it, though.

Devices with AMOLED displays allow a hack which adjusts subpixel coefficients at a hardware level, and a few kernels implement that for devices like the Nexus4, but it's not really flexible enough to provide true calibration.
[Nexus 7 General] jersonf:
Dunno about colour calibration but my personal grumble was the colour is a bit warm for me, I like it a little colder.

Filter your screen works for my problems.

Original then filtered, I've thrown in G+ just for show only, although I would like a slighlty deeper contrast.
[Nexus 7 General] overhaze:
Your screen must be way different than mine. One of the biggest problems with the Nexus 7s calibration is that it has way too much blue in it. I sat the Nexus 7 down next to a properly calibrated LCD tried to use Filter Your Screen to get as close as I could. I ended up with Alpha 18, Red 117, Green 0, Blue 0.

It isn't perfect but its closer on skin town and 100% white.

Honestly I don't know why Google or Asus can't just stick a colorimeter on a Nexus 7 in the factory and distribute the calibration via a firmware update. It wouldn't be perfect from every display but it would be a whole lot better than what we have now.
[Nexus 7 General] DJ-phYre:
I think there was a kernel but it was still in alpha.

I can also try disabling tegra see if that helps. I just bought it last night and since I'm out of town, I haven't had a chance to root and try the tegra app.
[Nexus 7 General] TheAtheistReverend:
Bump!

Where is our screen calibration? Doesn't Google know this kind of thing ends up in almost every review out there? Screen and image quality is very important. That is usually THE most used aspect of a tablet or any device. We have to look at it...
[Nexus 7 General] ugrnm:
I would argue that if complains have to be sent regarding this issue, NVIDIA should be the primary recipient.

They are the manufacturer of the graphic card and they should be able to provide an interface to the card's firmware to enable gamma calibration.

If the Ubuntu effort ever ends up in a fully functional system with hardware accelerated graphic server enabled by NVIDIA Tegra3 blobs for ARM, then I am curious if we will be able to use an app such as nividia-settings that has simple gamma correction. This would not affect Android, but at least prove that the interface to this feature of the card is possible.

Regardless, all this should be asked to NVIDIA directly.
[Nexus 7 General] Hidden92:
I really hate nvidia...

My Nexus 7 arrived yesterday and the gamma is exactly as wrong calibrated as on my Nexus 4. But for the Nexus 4 there is already a possibility to adjust gamma.

Nvidia is blocking everything, hopefully manufacturers will stop using nvidia in future devices. (nvidia was also the one to blame for not receiving an Android 4 Cyanogenmod for the Optimus 2X because of their ****ing tegra chip)
[Nexus 7 General] killuah1337:
yeah i'd love a calibration app as well! i really hope someone developes one for the nexus 7! would greatly improve the screen quality.
[Nexus 7 General] dzendeh:
What's the status of the color calibration? I've bought a Nexus 7 and the screen color ist just miserable. I tried Filter Your Screen as suggsted by snarlytaz, but I am not happy with the results. This ist really a dealbreaker.
[Nexus 7 General] Sage:
another bump anything new?
[Nexus 7 General] najaboy:
No. The GPU has not spontaneously started supporting color calibration yet. In short, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for something that is not going to happen.
[Nexus 7 General] nexusmaniac:
I really hope someone finds a fix for this

I love my nexus 7 but hate the colour on the screen, i have tried nvidia prsim enabled ans disabled but it always looks washed out
[Nexus 7 General] Flypants101010:
spydergallery apk

can someone please upload the spyder gallery apk? thanks
[Nexus 7 General] najaboy:
It appears that would be against xda's rules since it is a closed beta.
[Nexus 7 General] ugrnm:
How does that relate to the topic?
[Nexus 7 General] Knowpig:
Has anyone made any headway on this issue? Just curious.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] TheCraig:
Hello, I am buying this tablet in two months, but until then I will lurk this section, anyway down to the point: http://www.androidauthority.com/acer-tablets-iconia-tab-jelly-bean-update-details-103747/ and http://www.tabletguide.nl/24003/acer-gaat-tablets-updaten-naar-android-4-1/?ystfuv

Apparently tabletguide talked to Acer Officials on the phone and Acer confirmed several newer tablets will receive the update, I'm guessing A510, A700, and such

Anyway lets hope its true!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] paugustin:
This morning a french website advertised that A200, A510 and A700 were getting JB updates today ! We'll see if it's true...
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] slvrbllt:
I won't believe it until I see it!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] chriskwarren:
That would be awesome! Any links? I can't find the source.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] vBoedefeld:
http://www.tabletguide.nl/24003/acer-gaat-tablets-updaten-naar-android-4-1/ they asked Acer and Acer answered, that a JB Update is planned. But they did not announce a concrete time for this update. Some german sites will rumor about Acers JB update too... So i'm nearly sure: JB is coming - hopefully soon.;)

another source http://tablet-news.com/2012/07/28/acer-confirms-jelly-bean-updates-coming-for-some-of-their-models/
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] TheCraig:
Would be awesome if they release it soon, Development may get more popular for this device.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] slvrbllt:
No doubt that JB is going to be released any time soon.

What I find hard to believe is that this is happening today!!

I would be more than happy should I be proven wrong...
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] salisbury_steak:
With all due respect. I really hope you're wrong. :D
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] slvrbllt:
Unfortunately not.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Mechkilla:
Actually we have JB since yesterday for the A700 :cool: thus the french website wasn't that wrong but in an unexpected way :D. Check out pawitps thread for his unofficial CM10: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1806980. Sure, it's an alpha but it's a start :fingers-crossed:.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] slvrbllt:
Actually I don't care much about JB.

Not that I would not like to see it running on my tablet, but at the moment I am so fed up with my tablet that I would be happy even if it was running on Cupcake but without those annoying touch screen issues...
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] paugustin:
Well we have evidence that Acer is currently working on JB for the A700. Early builds can be seen on GLBenchmark :D

Acer_AV051_A700_0.000.14_WW_GEN1

Acer_AV051_A700_0.005.00_WW_GEN1

acer/a700_ww_gen1/picasso_mf:4.1.1/JRO03H/1343153291:userdebug/test-keys

acer/a700_ww_gen1/picasso_mf:4.1.1/JRO03H/1343405184:user/release-keys

Those are very early builds but at least we know development has started !
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Mechkilla:
Ah, that's sweet. But I would prefer CM10 because then I can have the same system on my Acer A700 and my Motorola Defy. I hope Acer will make a better job on JB than on ICS (for those who want to stick with stock rom's).
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Itchiee:
I can tell you that JB will be amazing on this tablet.

I'm running that Alpha and its a big difference in response from ICS especially with scrolling...

I personally cannot wait.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] slvrbllt:
What about the touch screen?

Is it responsive the way it is supposed to be?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Itchiee:
I've never had a problem with touch response on this tablet so I cannot comment on that aspect.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] salisbury_steak:
Do you have touchscreen issues even after toggling the screen sensitivity? If yes, I think you should have the tablet replaced.

I used to have screen sensitivity issues in my tab (it had a screen protector on though), but it would go away after toggling that setting.

I'm now in a new replacement tab (without a screen protector yet), and I don't have touch screen issues. (Will install a capdase screen protector this weekend, will report if it changes screen responsiveness.)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pickarooney:
Anyone know if JB will be available if the tablet is rooted or if it can be easily unrooted, updated and re-rooted?

Or is it just too early to tell yet?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] mysha:
I'm on my second a510, the first one had a terrible touchscreen with dead spots all over the place and just generally sketchy performance. I took it back to FutureShop for a replacement the next day and it's literally night and day. Zero problems. Go get a yours replaced, you won't believe it's the same tablet.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] slvrbllt:
Well, as a matter of fact my tablet has been replaced in two distinct sessions! :)

I sent it back to Acer for fixing the touch screen issues and they replaced both the LCD and the Touch Panel. Unfortunately the problem was still there, so I resolved to send it back for assistance one more time. This time they replaced the motherboard but as you may easily guess the touch screen is still cra.. ehm.. not working properly.

I am eagerly waiting for an update to my 1.073_WW_GEN1 Rom. If the firmware update does not solve the issue at all, I am calling Acer again for a full replacement.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] salisbury_steak:
My tablet was initially only up for repair too. A motherboard replacement was done. But after a day of testing by the engineers, they instead tagged my tablet as DOA (Dead on Arrival) and ordered me a fresh one. :)

They even pre-tested the tablet for me so that I won't have the same issues when I pick it up. It took a while, but it was worth the wait.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Mechkilla:
Promising info: http://www.ebuyer.com/394008-acer-iconia-a110-tablet-pc-ht-hapek-001

Acer will ship the A110 with Jelly Bean not ICS from the start. The A110 is in hardware perspective a downgraded A510/A700. That brings hope JB might be not so far away for us :fingers-crossed:. Release date according to a german news site is september, ebuyer says Oct. 1st. Hopefully CM10 is quicker :D.

I did find ICS a really big update from gingerbread, i had to get it for my galaxy note at that time. So on my note i used the nightlies and such and it was great. But i don't really now what the big changes are between ICS and JB? is it really that great?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] DakiX:
60fps animationrate :good:
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] himmatsj:
Wow, the touchscreen issues were fixed? When I bought the tablet in May, all the online forums I went to mentioned the same fact, that touchscreen has low-sen even after toggling the sensitivity. Previously, I had a GT 10.1, so I can personally vouch that my A510 has a lower sensitivity even on high. Back then, I was told it's a software issue that Acer could take care of in an update.

It's by no means unbearable, but more often than not, my first (sometime second) touches are not registered.

I think you are wrong. The A510's (and A700's) are thought to have a poorer than normal touchscreen sensitivity. If this is your first tablet, you really won't be able to tell. Unless, somewhere along the line Acer changed their panels.....now it's too late for a 1-1 change I guess (I have too much on my tablet as well).

I really hope the screen gets better with the JB update. I've gotten used to it, but I always wish it were better.

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:52 PM ----------

I think this has to be handled by Acer directly. Something about their drivers maybe. The tabs aren't not sensitive because of ICS...Acer just botched up somewhere along the line.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] BonzenPaule:
I think thats a joke and they just dont know when jb is finished. I mean Dez the 24th... Strange release Date..
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] farazjk:
I have been corresponding with Acer Malaysia over the heating issue of A701 for some days now. Though the device heats up after excessive gave play (3D games) but so far I haven't experienced any crash.

Anyway back to the topic... during the conversation Acer rep told me that they had forwarded my concerns to Acer R&D and they have confirmed that the next update will address this issue and further improve performance. Acer also said they cannot share the complete update logs with me but major changes should be expected. No release date was disclosed. But from what I could understand it won't be long before we get Jelly Bean update.

PS. I received the above information yesterday.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] himmatsj:
Hey dude, I'm also from Malaysia!

Anyway, both the A51x and A7xx are known to become very warm when playing 3D games or running many apps at once. However, do not fear as this will not cause any component malfunction as the heat is below the maximum threshold.

When I bought my A510, I knew about the heating issue and I am a hardcore gamer on my tablet. It is certainly noticeable - the heat - but after some time I just get used to it and it doesn't bother me anymore now.

Anyways, I think December is too long away. Even Samsung is going to release JB updates soon, so with an almost stock UI, Acer should get it to us latest by the end of October. Just my $0.02.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] farazjk:
Thanks for your feedback. Good to know that heating is not a serious issue. Really looking forward to JB update as I had been using it on my Motorola Xoom and it is totally awesome and a huge improvement on ICS.

If you get any info on JB update please do share. Thanks and regards, Faraz
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] himmatsj:
Does it really make your tablet much faster? Does your dual-core Xoom perform faster than the A510 now that it has JB?

PS: I contacted Acer as well, and yeah, they mention December 2012 as the tentative date. Bummer
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] farazjk:
Oh yes definitely faster and smoother. Difference is really visible. Also many new features and improvements. Unfortunately I sold my Xoom as I got a very good offer for it plus I had already purchased Iconia A701.

DECEMBER! Man that's a bummer. I was really hoping for latest by end October :(
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] gdourado:
How is the state of development of CM10 for the a700? It could be a good alternative if CM10 could implement project butter on the a700 and get a stable build.

December is still far away...

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] bidniss:
Need some opinions please..

I posted this on another discussion thread, but figured I would do it here as well in case someone has some insight they can add...

"I have an A700 that has an unlocked bootloader and is rooted. I can temporarily "hide" the root with OTA Rootkeeper. I keep checking for the JB update and if I leave the root in place, I get the error message that states my device cannot receive an update and to contact Acer support. HOWEVER, when I "hide" the root and check for the update, I get the message "Your device is up to date."

So, my question is this. Will the fact I have an unlocked bootloader block the update even though the tablet is showing "temporarily unrooted" with OTA Rootkeeper? If the unlocked bootloader blocks the update, is there a simple procedure to "re-lock" the bootloader?

I figured someone in this group who is a lot smarter on this stuff than I am can maybe shed some light for me.

Thanks! :) "
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Moscow Desire:
Updates from Acer are always slow. They do them by region and serial number. They don't want to push OTA's to everybody at the same time.

I would say, if you haven't received it in a month, to contact Acer.

MD
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] bidniss:
Thanks!

Thanks MD! I did manage to get the tablet to flash "Acer_A700_AV043.RV00RC00_AV043.RV07RC06_PA_CUS1" since I couldn't find the later ROM. My tablet went back to an "unroot" and "locked stock" bootloader, which was my goal.

Now....IF I had the latest ICS ROM, or knew where to find it, I would flash it to make my tab ready for the JB update. If you know where I can find the latest ICS ROM, I would sure appreciate it!- Thanks to all of you on these boards that help people like me out! :)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] flemlion13:
It's here and it's worth the update

Yup, we're december.

The good thing is that JB has arrived on my A510 and it's running smooth.

No lock-up so far, which is a world of difference from the ICS that it was running before.

One bummer so far: I've lost root.
[General Topics] nespid:
I'd like to suggest the following names for a ROM and a Kernel, if they've not already been used.

ROM: Kang-aroo or even Kang-arom (I saw a "kang-a-rama) (Obviously, for the approiately Kang'ed rom).

Kernel: Colonel Kernel

I did a quick google search, and I didn't come across either. Let me know if these are in use and I will give the appropirate credit.

Like I said, this is a somewhat useless post, but I'd like to hear suggestions and ideas, for no particular reason!
