Hi, on my HOX the transition animations aren't turned on and I don't think they ever were. In Display Settings it has no effect whether they are turned on or not. In Developer settings the option is just gray and unselectable. My Hox is running on stock 2.17.

Does the HOX not have any animations or is something wrong with mine.

AFAIK there is no Android phone with an eInk display.

eInk Display swap:

I wonder if there's a device out there with a modem that would be a good candidate to replace the screen with an eInk, or at least, sunlight readable display?

The last time I looked into this the graphics driver itself would probably need replacing too, making it much more difficult than a simple screen swap. Also I was unable to get find a donor phone with a screen size to match off the shelf eink displays and also sourcing an eink display was difficult too. I need to learn more about how displays work and how I can search to get a phone and screen to match. Any ideas on this?

Kindle:

Perhaps I need to come at it from a different angle? The old kindle is eink and Android... and it has 3G... but it's hard to hack with... it wouldn't be easy to turn into a proper phone. That I will have to investigate. Any other ideas?

NookTouch:

The NookTouch would be a lot of work to turn into a phone but it's technically possible. You could go hostmode, usb hub for mic/speaker/headset and add a USB modem but that's going to be messy. To do this neatly you'd be cutting up the Nook and would at least want a low profile way of connecting into the USB port. Plus charging might then become difficult, especially if trying to do the induction charging hack. I think other avenues are better to try.
[Hardware Hacking General] theraf:
I don't think that the old kindle is android based, and besides it wouldn't be ideal as it's not touch-screen

or you could go down the 50/50 route and follow this guide:

I use a matte screen protector and using an app like Cool Reader (since I'm on Android). I change the background to a moderate to light grey and the font to a dark grey about 25% -30% lighter than black. Turn down the screen brightness to about 75% outside and 45% in doors. Then change the font by adding fonts to the system fonts to a more soothing type face like "antipasto". Increase line spacing to about 125%-150% and margins to no more than 10pt on all sides.

See the above image for what this looks like. It isn't exactly like E-Ink, but it is nicer than staring at a bright white screen. This trick should work with any app that lets you tweak the text and background colors, on iOS or Android.

OK so the newest version of Dolphin Browser aka Dolphin HD Browser does not support adobe flash when using a Jelly Bean Rom! Which really really sucks! But there is hope. I found a work around. So here it goes!

First you need to install a few apps!

Rom Tool Box, Adobe Flash Player and of course Dolphin Browser. need the older version! Which can be found here:

http://dl.apktops.com/app/201206/Dolphin_Browser_HD_8.5.1.apk

1. Now install all the apps and open Dolphin Browser and go to settings and turn on flash support. Make sure its set to Always On!

2. Next open up Rom Tool Box and click on App Manager and back up Dolphin Browser (App+Data) double check that its backed up!

3. Now reboot device and go to Google Play store and Download aka Update to the newest version! Now go back to Rom Tool Box and App Manager and restore Dolphin Browser( just the data) now open your new version of Dolphin Browser and check the settings and Adobe Flash should now say Always On! instead of Off like it normally says in the newest version! I have test this like 3 times and it worked everytime! Try it your self! Good luck!

So, after much internal debate, I went back to Gingerbread for the old camera and stability.

My goodness I forgot how good we had it! With all the "auto" stuff and "widescreen" ticked off, this camera takes a ridiculously good picture. I tested it out at this particularly dark room on the house, and the picture turned out perfect. I forgot how great our camera was.

To anyone on ICS, do you ever miss the old camera?

I hear this a lot but I have to say something. It's the same physical camera so this is a software issue. Try this on ICS: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id= com.moblynx.cameraicsplus or this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=slide.cameraZoom Both have way more options than CM9 and take just as nice pics as the GB Sense camera app if tweaked properly. Good luck!

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
So didn't want to start a new thread, and this was the first camera one I found going backwards through general.

The camera on the doubleshot spanks the pants off the camera on the S3. No contest, and if it was, the S3 forgot to show up.

That is all.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
I have to agree. I've taken comparison pics (done at the same time of the same subject) with my MT4GS on stock-based ROM (Miktouch) and CM9.1r5 (thank you nandroid backup!), an iPhone 4S, and a Droid RAZR. Loading the photos on a computer and viewing on a high-res monitor it is obvious that the MT4GS on the stock ROM is superior in every way. Why T-Mobile/HTC didn't market this phone better, I don't know.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
+1, I recently took some outdoor night shots of a light show, and my camera bested the S3, which couldn't get a shot. But the flash is much brighter on the S3
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Riyal:
I did compare the doubleshot's camera on stock ROM and my Xperia Pro device which was at the same generation with doubleshot and photo's on Xperia Pro are way too good compare to doubleshot. I'll try to upload a comparison between the 2 on this thread maybe tomorrow or after halloween vacation.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
MAN! I'll be anxious to see those. It's hard to believe there is a phone camera that will take a shot that our DS can't even compare too!! In MOST circumstances the DS will blow away my point & shoot although I will admit it's not a fancy point & shoot.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
My "point & shoot" is a Panasonic Lumix, which takes excellent photos. The only advantage it has over my MT4GS is the lens. Having a better optical zoom and aperture makes a difference. Otherwise, they are both 8MP sensors, however the MT4GS has a newer and much more advanced back side illuminated sensor, which is why it is so crisp and takes better low-light images.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
If you are talking about a full size standalone point and shoot camera, (about the same size as the doubleshot physically) then 8MP is not the same 8MP the doubleshot claims.

The ccd in the standalone camera is way larger and more capable, though tit-for-tat the tech on an 8MP camera is dated compared to what was current a year ago when the doubleshot came out. Think they were at 12-14 megapixel as the standard offering back then. No clue what it even is now.

The low light picture ability of the doubleshot is in my opinion the most 'wow'

aspect of it's entire camera ability. Forget it all else, i've never seen low light pictures taken as well with any hardware i've had the chance to play with.

I'm sure I could get a DSLR that would blow away the doubleshot - and i'm equally sure it won't fit in my pocket and in turn rarely be with me.

I am a man of many pockets, a typical comment to me would be 'jeez, you have enough pockets?' ... and my answer is always no, because there is always something I had to leave behind.

I would never give pocket space for a standalone point and shoot when I could take the DS instead and also be able to turn the pictures into a photo montage, edit them in other ways, zip them all up, throw them in my dropbox and have them backed up to a multitude of physical machines scattered around the USA, then email them to someone...et all, the point and shoot dies on the drawing board when put against that.

Camera is now a primary use of the device for me, and i'm just blown away by how well HTC got it right.

I'd also be interested in seeing some of those pics from the xperia pro, is that a camera or a phone? Doubtless there are devices out there that will outdo the doubleshot, especially at a year old, but i'd be curious to know which.

One thing that gives a leg up on a lot out there, optical zoom. S3 has none, so that in itself is a huge asset in favor of the doubleshot.

Again on the low level shots, definite agreement here.

Our flash is limited in power and when you can use it in the kernel at least, not sure of any other limiters (within the camera app itself, et al ) but they may yet be there. Anyone else got any info on it they want to drop here? I'll see if I can dredge up everywhere I found camera stuff in kernel code.

This seems a good place to drop misc. camera tidbits as I come to them, good title and start.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
The size of the sensor is indeed a big part of the picture (pun intended). However, the sensor in our phone is a 8MP 1/3.2" with 1.4µm backside illumination. That bests nearly every other phone on the market and some cheap point & shoot cameras. Of course, the sensor in a DSLR is far larger, so you get much more detail.

The low-light capability for our phone is due to the backside-illumination sensor (for background info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back-illuminated_sensor). Ours was the first phone in the US to incorporate such a sensor, later to be followed by the iPhone 4S. The iPhone, of course, got huge media attention for the camera, but our phone which had the exact same sensor and came out much earlier and had far better software to run it, got little attention.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CDaccord:
I've been lurking around here since the phone launched, and on XDA since my G2 days. This is the first time I've felt the need to chime in on a subject, and I suppose also because there haven't been any questions that I couldn't find the answer to myself. Anyway, mine's a launch DS, rev s-off and the whole nine. I remember reading some time ago that there were different camera hardware components on some of our phones (e.g. that one topic where any ICS rom would fail to connect to a particular user's DS camera, yet it would be fine with any GB rom.) so maybe that is of some significance to this whole topic.

Back to the point though, I was blown away when I first used the camera on the stock rom. I use this phone heavily for it's sick camera and the keyboard, which kept me on stock for a short bit and then bulletproof until May. That's when ICS was far enough along for me that I gave Virtuous Inquisition a shot since it retained the sense camera but removed most other sense components. I recall being slightly disappointed in a few minor changes/things at first by the sensation camera software, but having used the camera on CM9 and its derivatives I find that there really is no comparison in the quality that HTC brought to the table with theirs. You could get a comparable picture I'm sure, but the usability is night and day for me. As far as alternative apps, I've messed around with Camera Zoom FX pro a bit and I'd say it is almost as good as the stock ds and sensation offerings but not quite there. It does well for me when I decide to run CM or paranoid android on bootmanager.

Lastly, the HQ camera tweak that is floating around here somewhere is awesome. Average file size of a picture in the full 8mp went from around 2mb before and 5mb afterwards, with a definitely noticeable jump in quality. The max ISO also jumps to 1025 from 800, so more low light goodness. I've gotten some really nice shots with all the different versions I've been running over the past 15 months, but I was once again really impressed after first applying the tweak around June or so.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
I think I came accross this HQ camera tweak before but must have gotten side tracked and never tried it. Will it work with a stock based rom like MikTouch? Do you think you can point me to it if it does?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Early units of the Doubleshot have the Sony IMX105PQ, a 1/3.2” 8.13MP CMOS camera sensor. But the majority of our phones use the Samsung S5K3H2YX, a 1/3.2” 8MP CMOS camera sensor. That could be the discrepancy you describe.

I'd like to know more about this HQ patch you mention. Where is it, does it work with GB roms?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CDaccord:
@fuzi I knew I had seen a topic about those details before. I have a launch model that most likely has the Sony sensor, and I've been thoroughly impressed by it during all this time. Can anyone with the Samsung sensor that was probably released on the later batches (in I think November and February maybe?) give any feedback on their images?

@siani & fuzi The original thread is here, just copy the latter half of the broken up link: /showthread.php?t=1533238

I couldn't find the thread where I originally got this link in, either on the themes & apps board or the dev board, but I might have missed the topic. I flashed the zip labeled for vinq in cwm, so i can't comment on how well other sense ICS roms work with it. I do not think it will work for GB roms. In that thread, there is a standard and an ultra flashable. I am about 90% positive I flashed the standard zip, I think the ultra package only improves upon the 1080p video performance over the standard package, which our ICS is sorely lacking the capability for anyhow.

If anyone is interested in pictures I can dig through my archives and put some examples up.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Thank you. I believe I have one with the Sony sensor, as well. I will look for the HQ package. The camera issue is one of the main things that keeps me coming back to Miktouch. Man, I wish HTC would just do the right thing and produce an ICS or JB for this phone.

EDIT: Ah, I see the HQ packages are only for Sense 3.6 or Sense4 ROMs. I've given up on those for now, just too many annoying quirks for my use.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Riyal:
Ok just came back from vacation will do a shootout later and Xperia Pro is a phone made by sony.

With regards to low light pictures it boasts it's own exmor R sensor which was made by sony specifically for low light capturing.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SKAm69:
How to check which camera is in the phone?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CDaccord:
What kind of quirks? Like I said, I've held back on an older release of Virtuous Inquisition (last rev. that uses the 2.6.35 kernel) since early summer despite newer roms coming out due solely to the camera software and desensed/aosp-ified nature of the rom. I've tried the various CM flavors, paranoid android, JB, AOKP... they all disappoint in regard to the camera performance from my standpoint. Until I grabbed a few paid camera apps a little while back, I hadn't even considered running those kind of roms as daily drivers.

The only problems I have with inquisition are nitpicks at best; not nearly as many tweaks as CM and AOKP, certain zips I've flashed don't want to stick (e.g. custom boot animations, blacked out gapps/sysapps [which did work for PA], and a few other occurrences). I can certainly say that the random soft reboots I'd experience like every 6 or 7 days (or much more frequently) on stock don't happen more than once in a blue moon, although I do get sleep of death in waves. Sometimes it'll happen a few times in the span of as many days, other times it won't SoD for a few weeks. My most replicable sleep of death is when streaming over bluetooth a2dp, especially at work where I contend with over 9000 BT devices at once. When there's no interference, bluetooth works fine. Oh, and I cant see certain games in the play store like GTA and Max Payne. I was about to close out the message, then I recalled that I cannot use the MMS video quality at all. I don't do much video but that was definitely something that pissed me off the one time I needed it. So yeah, minor gripes aside, make a nandroid and give it a try if you're up to it.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
My experience with Inquisition was great as well and I feel it's the closest to "everything works" in an ICS ROM still to date. There was no 1080P for camera of course and the burst shot didn't work either. I missed TV Out as well using it and probably the other reason besides camera that it's not currently my DD. It's really ashame it was abandoned but that seems to be the common theme for our phone. We have really talented devs bringing us awesome alphas and then they move on to next new port/ROM and bring us another really nice alpha with great potentential. It looks like there may possibly be some hope on the horizon for 1080P though from what I've been reading. That would be awesome.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
I had Bluetooth issues with Inquisition. I use Bluetooth extensively, it is a must-have and must be rock-solid. I've given all the available ROMs a test-drive (for several days) and the only ones that come close to being "daily drivers" are the ICS-Bliss from sun_dream (the first version, based on Sensation XE 3.32) or CM9.1r8. But, I always return to Miktouch 0.7 because there are no annoyances or quirks, it just works and it looks good, too.
