[HTC One X] D3VICE:
The one and only thing that keeps me on Sense now instead of just flashing CM or ICJ is the Sense Camera.

Is it just me or is the AOSP camera just ridiculously horrible? Or is it that I can't use it like it's intended to be used?

All of my pictures get this green tint with the flash on, they are grainy, too sharp.

In every scene (sun, night, light) there seems to be just one problem no matter what I set the settings too.

Also, what's with the interface?

I know it's all about personal preference, but I really can't stand that, choppy, type of "un-finished" look of it.

What is the whole grey background needed for? Why all that un-used space thrown away? Move the button completely right, make the buttons appear by swiping down or something, and you have a fullscreen camera that actually looks pretty minimal and gorgeous.

I love how simplistic and minimal AOSP can be when you customize it right, but is there a way to customize the stock camera app?

Anyone care to explain to me how to use the AOSP Camera or recommend me any alternative I could use on AOSP?

I really love the Sense Camera and I think it's pretty great, but unfortunately you can't use that on AOSP.

So, conclusion, does this stock AOSP Camera really suck this much as I think it does, or am I looking into it too much?
[HTC One X] XxJibblesxX:
I have the same thoughts as you on this.
[HTC One X] Michealtbh:
The Sense app is tweaked specifically to work with the HOX camera sensor. AOSP camera obviously isn't and probably will never be as the libs/binaries for that are probably closed source.

I agree that it also looks horrible, but that's just how it is and there are plenty of other camera apps on Google Play. You could always modify it to how you like and try pushing it upstream to CM10 and even AOSP.
[HTC One X] Harrysoon:
Same thoughts as me. If it wasn't for the Sense camera I'd have jumped on AOSP as soon as I got my One X. I use the phone primarily for taking photos, so the camera is a big factor for me. I just can't stand the AOSP camera layout on screen.

Themes for ✰10.11.12✰ ≡ROM≡ D.I.R.T//DigitalKarma v8 REINCARNATION

Fairly new to root and roms, have tried quite a few and like this one alot. How do I mod the theme, or do any tweaks on this rom. Have read how rom needs specific mods made for it or ones like it. Also something about being Deodexed, or Not (like I think this one isn't) being a factor for ease of modding.

Would appreciate any info, or point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wacowell:
It's pretty nice. No theme needed.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chrisstl:
My suggestion is to browse through the v8 Reincarnation thread to find things you're looking for. The OP(1st post) has three launcher themes waiting for you to flash. Also start reading around the date the update dropped, as there are goodies scattered about... For example, someone posted three really awesome boot animations very recently.

As far as other mods, again reading the OP and the thread in general(use the search thread feature) will be your best source of info. I noticed in the OP that DigitalKarma baked in the V6 SuperCharger script and now I could care less about little stuff in the theme - the phone is so freaking fast now anything is gone before I can get a good look at it Hahaha. Hope that helped maybe... Good luck!

This note fell at your feet as I flew by on my SuperCharged, v8 Reincarnated OG EVO.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Master Melab:
Can we make a custom or patched bootloader that does not verify the kernel?
[LG Optimus G (International)] xboxfanj:
There is no source for that, so probably no, but we can probably use elements of the nexus 4's
[LG Optimus G (International)] Master Melab:
Will the boot ROM execute arbitrary code?
[LG Optimus G (International)] Master Melab:
I wish this was clarified.
[LG Optimus G (International)] xboxfanj:
Not sure what you mean by that
[LG Optimus G (International)] HaiKaiDo:
Oi dere! sup xboxfanj :D. This is looking like my next phone as well haha. I think the guy was asking if the bootloader is incharge of running lower level arbitrary exploitable code. Atleast thats what i got from it?
[LG Optimus G (International)] xboxfanj:
I doubt it, but having never owned a device with a locked boot loader, I'm not sure.
[LG Optimus G (International)] xboxfanj:
Sup dude
[LG Optimus G (International)] Master Melab:
Will anymore developers care to comment?
[LG Optimus G (International)] Master Melab:
Why is it that no one can ever provide with a definitive answer to these kinds of questions? If the bootloader is not signature checked then a patched version can be installed and there you have an unlocked bootloader. Why is this line of questioning not more common?
[LG Optimus G (International)] Tim4:
You cant install patched bootloader just by "flash" command cause the original bootloader will reject it.

Also a big problem is the making of "patched" without any sources.

So there is only 2 ways: The unlock command, which probably doesnt exists in lg's bootloaders or some kind of exploit.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Master Melab:
There is JTAG and direct modification of the internal memory.
[LG Optimus G (International)] xboxfanj:
We could through LGNPST, which is available at the IRC.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Tim4:
Well, i want the unlocked bootloader, but not THAT much :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] Snow_fox:
Because, these forums are free to read and easy to Google search. If I know how to break a bootloader and post the method publicly then the manufacturer can find it and send out a patch to fix it since i publicly posted how I'm breaking the bootloader.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Master Melab:
Though in the case of a device where the root of trust resides in the bootloader, they wouldn't be able to truly fix it, correct? I just want to know if we're on the same page as far as terminology is involved.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] twitch11:
So, this is my first time rooting and I think I messed up pretty badly. I rooted earlier today on 2.20. Here's what I did:

1. Gained root

2. Installed TWRP

3. Wiped System, Cache, Dalvik Cache, and SDcard (probably my first mistake)

4. Flashed CM10 and Gapps and said it was successful even though I didn't flash with fastboot (second mistake)

5. Tried running CM10 and it would freeze on the loading screen for CM10

6. Tried to wipe everything again and noticed it was unable to mount sdcard

7. Googled around and decided to relock the bootloader and install a RUU to start over since I couldn't fix the sdcard problem (third mistake?)

8. I tried the root steps again and got another token from HTCdev, but it would go through the entire process of asking me if I wanted to unlock the bootloader and I would agree. I then tried to flash TWRP, but it wouldn't go through. I noticed it said "Relocked" on top of the bootloader screen.

9. I tried the original token from HTC and the same thing happened. It wouldn't unlock.

10. Frustrated, I did a factory reset. I did all the steps again and tried a new token and the same thing happens.

Am I completely screwed? What can I do to fix this?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Unplug your phone and reboot it. Plug it back and try again. For some reason, it can take a few tries before the unlock token takes.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] twitch11:
I feel like an idiot. I rebooted a few times and sure enough there it was. I've been struggling with this all day and now I've finally flashed CM10. Thank you so much.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldriod:
Will the release of Jelly Bean on an Exynos device make it possible to get 100% Project Butter enhancements on CM10 for the Galaxy Tab 7.7?

Asking in particular due to the release of JB supposedly coming out for the Sprint Galaxy S3 Oct 25.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awebofdeception:
I've been using Quarx's CM10 build on my Defy+ for the past few days and whilst it's extremely stable and relatively fast, the performance is not quite fast enough for everyday use for me. I was considering instead installing CM9 or CM7, but not having installed either of these previously, I was not sure which would be best. I would prefer to go with CM9 if the performance is significantly better than CM10, but if not perhaps CM7 would be a safer choice? Any other suggestions to increase performance on CM10 would be appreciated also.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esok44:
In my opinion CM10 is way more faster than every cm9 build i used.

so if you want to increase stability and performance, use CM7 ;)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafaelsoaresbr:
CM7

I've used CM10 but my device was running slow, I've installed CM7, never used CM9.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roomunho:
newest CM10 from Quarx is faster than speeding speedy gonzales!

got 3147 points in AnTuTu. CM10 is more responsive, and with right launcher (like nova or apex) works like a charm
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebuelias:
Trust me. CM10 is better. CM7 might be a little better, but I think by the next two update, Quarx will make CM10 just as good..

So I suggest you stick with this for a week or two and decide.

I have only one phone and I use defy for everything. I run CM10.

Thank if I was helpful.

Cheers

well, i’ll start off by explaining myself. I’m a second year software engineering student. The Stage one of my degree focused on the fundamental computing principles, where i stuied six modules ;- computer systems, computer communications, internet technology, software engineering, problem-solving and programming and computing mathematics.

In stage two my degree specialises to develop further areas within software engineering. Studies include formal specification of software systems, internet programming, software engineering group project and systems design and development.

Anyhow thats enough about me. I’m currently seeking a similar minded/age junior software developer whom are willing to work along side me in order to contribute towards a software solutions company, as i’ve got some funding to start my own company and will be willing to employ about 6 people as a start off to do some programming ,the more language(java,c++, javascripts, html, UML, XML…etc) you know the better, must be socialble and able to work within a group as most of the work will be team based. If this sounds interesting to you then please feel free to email me for more details with a portfolio attached.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] HIMgurl:
Hey guys,

I just noticed this in my pictures yesterday. There is a purple line and what could be the edge of the camera lens showing up in the left corner of my pics. I haven't dropped the phone so I don't know why this issue has shown up recently. My note is about two months old give or take a week. I called customer service and they want me to factory reset my phone. I don't see how that will fix a possible hardware issue. So I have not done this yet. Any ideas or suggestions??

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kevhuff:
First off welcome to XDA! It looks like a scratch to me where is it with landscape and portrait photos
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] HIMgurl:
That thought did cross my mind with the purple line. But what do you think the black line underneath the purple line could be??

The lines stay in the left corner in both portrait and landscape modes.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wish777:
Looks to me a small micro crack...can you shine a light on lens and see if its cracked? I had this issue on one of my old phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] baudilus:
The lines would move to another corner in landscape mode versus portrait mode if it were something physically on the lens or the lens itself.

If they stay in the same corner, it's likely software. Try another camera app to test it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] HIMgurl:
Used my led mag lite and I do not any scratches around the len. It looks clear too me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] HIMgurl:
Red shirt picture taken with Camera Illusion app. Second picture taken with Retro Camera app. This app cropped the corners...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] khaytsus:
I assume you do NOT have a case on the phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] melcali:
Is there a tiny piece of lint in there somewhere?

That's got to be annoying
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] HIMgurl:
I always use a case and screen protector, from day one. I hate "naked" phones.

Melcali- I don't see any lint.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] khaytsus:
And you've taken the case off and tried pictures? Just to make sure it's not the case?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] HIMgurl:
That was the first thing I tried after noticing the problem. I physically don't see anything on the lens and I don't have a magnifying glass. I'm wondering if dirt has gotten behind the glass and lens. I usually store the phone in my back pocket when I'm not holding. Do you think a hard reset would work as customer support suggested?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] baudilus:
If the mark stays in the bottom left corner no matter which way you turn the phone, then yes, a software reset might help.

Is the line in the preview as well, or does it only appear after you take the image?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] HIMgurl:
It's in the preview too.

Update: the factory reset did not remove the line. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] baudilus:
So call Samsung and get a new one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] HIMgurl:
I didn't know that I could call them and bypass at&t.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wish777:
So all other camera apps..show this mark on bottom left corner?..If you've attempted to instal a few different camera apps and they all do it on that corner..its most likely a scratch or dirt mark behind the actual lens itself...I don't think it has anything to do with software related.... trying different camera apps kida debunks that....but I could be wrong I've seen sone pretty weird stuff go on with phones..lol

Hmm, after reading through repair threads, there is no way I will replace the camera myself. I had no trouble tinkering with my old BB but the Note is another beast.:) Time to find a scratch remover and see if that helps first.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
The phone is under warranty. Why would you take it apart or attempt a scratch remover on a scratch you don't believe you have? Contact ATT and get it replaced.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] HIMgurl:
I tend to have a bad track record with replacement phones. They are always worse than the original one that I have. Will At&t send me a new note or a refurb? Old Verizon customer here and they never replaced a new phone with another new one. So I'm hesitate to go through with the process. I have read that other Note users have different issues and other than the scratch mine is okay. So if I could fix it I wanted to at least try the scratch remove.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wish777:
they will send you a refurbished phone...

I've been using it for two months until today without any problem. Today I realized that I can not connect to the wifi network which is using protocol from the tittle. It is just keeps tryng to connect and fails. It is something released to this rom becouse I can use that network with all other roms (tryed today). Is there anything I can try that could fix this problem?

I have a major issue with the area around my backspace.. Sometimes backspace wont even press. i downloaded "multitouch vis test" and when i run my finger across that area it messes up. anybody else have this problem? An even better test shows that the bottom right corner doesnt even show up or bugs out, can somebody please test this out and get back to me i need to know if i should exchange it for another one or go with the GS3

try exchanging it.

thanks for trying it out. i actually took off the film that came on the phone and it seems to be working so far.. so i guess i wont be able to use a screen protector for this phone? it was only in that one area though and i tried in the exact opposite location and no problem when i had the film on.. hmmm
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] computingwarren:
Probably don't need a screen protector. It should have gorilla glass, or good enough not to have one.

Getting a screen protectector makes the screen...not so nice anymore.

Same here, the question to restore a backup doesn't come up on my phone either. Tried a factory reset and everything, someone please figure this out and help!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ragincajun97:
A factory reset from bootloader resolved it for me. After that, the prompt appeared on my phone and root was fairly straightforward after that.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I wouldn't factory reset from bootloader, it can corrupt your sd card.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ragincajun97:
How would I know if it is corrupted? I saw someone recommend doing it this way and it seemed to work fine for me. After rooting I flashed a few roms before settling on ViperXL. Both you and the one recommending a reset from bootloader are much smarter than me at this so any info is much appreciated.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I guess your device wouldn't recognise the SD card. I've seen on a few threads people resetting in bootloader and this happening. If your sd card is fine I suppose you got lucky.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 3452239:
if TWRP cries and yells at you saying "E: cannot mount sdcard" or something to that extent, then it is corrupted. You got lucky, or maybe everyone else was unlucky.

Just don't factory reset from the bootloader next time. Better safe than sorry.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdeySGSII:
Hello all on the xda, hope you're all doing well.

Once again I prove my nooby prowess by bombarding the forums and hopefully asking a question a few others have lingering.

A local seller has a Galaxy SII for sale for £70 as it's got an IMEI bar on it.

If I were to take the S2 and put my logic board in it, would that also transfer the IMEI and my current system of ParanoidAndroid?

I know it sounds like quite a stupid question but the opportunity could be there for me to have what is essentially a brand new S2 in noble black for 70 quid as my screen has been smashed by a blundering drunkard who thought they'd try and bottle me and instead, hit my phone.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and as the weekend fast approaches, may I wish everyone on the forums a good one :)

Peace out :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAXTREME:
When you say logic board are you referring to the mother board?

I'm no expert, but the way I see it, if you replace the whole motherboard and all components of that phone with yours, it should work since it sunds similar to replacing a broken screen+digitizer which many have done successfully.

Maybe some of the folks here who know more can give a verdict, but IMO £70 for a brand new unlocked S2, I'd give it a shot.

Good luck! :beer:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
Of course it should work.The other way would be to use the screen off of the new one and put it on yours(depends on model colour).

I would also suspect the other phone will have more problems than hes telling you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdeySGSII:
Thanks for the responses, I found that the phone was just locked out via a lock pattern haha! Guy sold it but will be getting another for sale soon as he works within a mobile phone industry with Orange (which I'm on) so that's alright :) how difficult does everyone reckon a complete reshell including screen and digitizer would be? :) thanks guys :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
that would be an expensive affair though:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAXTREME:
If you can back yourself to do it, it'd be pretty cheap. Many vids on YouTube showing you how to replace the screen and digitizer. Seems fiddly..but worth a try if you know what you're doing. Getting it done professionally would be a tad expensive.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jammed_Death:
