My screen dim level is at 1 and my phone is still too bright. How could I reduce this even further so that sliding my brightness toggle in the notifications bar all the way to low will reduce the brightness even further? Is there not an option or a mod that allows you to pretty much dim your screen to complete darkness?

screen filter from playstore
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zetsui:
I see screen filter, the only problem I have with it is its persistent notification. As far as I can see there's no way to remove it. If I could get rid of the persistent notification I would set it to boot with tasker.

Suggestions to remove from notification?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Heisenberg420:
Try lux auto brightness not sure if it has persistent notification or not.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zetsui:
I know about lux too, but it's not what I need.

Is there a way to lower the brightness set by the kernel or is this unchangeable?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pjcordi:
Download screen calibrator and it works like a charm, you can also remove the icon from the status bar
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] i386W7:
I looked into this too, I believe the only option is screen filter or anything like it.. which makes no sense to me.

Lower brightness = better for eyes+battery
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zetsui:
Yeah I actually prefer the dropdown notification built into AOKP roms for brightness, but the lowest brightness is too bright. In a room with lights off, reading the amazon kindle before bed is pretty discomforting if you're trying to ease into sleep. Way too bright.

Apparently the only way to do it unless the screen filter author comes up with a way to get rid of that persistent notification/load on startup is to kernel hack, and personally for someone who isn't a developer/programmer, I wouldn't touch an opensource code with a stick
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Cusa:
I have the same problem. The lowest brightness is still too high to read something with the lights off.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] i386W7:
Hey, I think I actually found something.. do you have cm10? If you do, you can turn on screen filter normally then go to settings > apps > screen filter and uncheck "show notifications". That took away the persistent notification for me.

I don't know if you can do this in aopk.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zetsui:
i have a great solution (with a notification-so i will try your suggestion 386 once my rom is done backing up), but want to make my own personalized "build (apps, tweaks etc) thread". Where can I make it without getting slapped by the mods? In the galaxy s3 general thread or since most of it is can be done on different android phones in the the overall general thread?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokuman56:
Hello,

I recently bought an FM Transmitter for the car, and I am looking for an app that does that following things:

1. Automatic Pickup and routing to the FM Transmitter (so the sound plays on my car speakers)

2. Automatic Text and Email Readout to the FM Transmitter

3. HandsFree voice so when I say a keyword, the phone voice search will activate (even when the screen is locked) (or the phone to always go back to google now after a call or a text)

4. Also, when playing music or during navigation, when a call is coming, it should automatically pick up.

Are there any apps that offer all/most of these features?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Have you tried Car Home? I know that is a popular one..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokuman56:
No, that doesn't have auto pickup and it doesn't read out messages to you.

I've tried Lazy Car, and it fulfills my requirements but it is extremely buggy and only works half the time. Sometimes the phone auto answers and the call routes to the headset on the phone instead of the car.

I mean to ask the 2nd phone to have with the note 2.I already have the note 2 and i want to buy a 2nd phone along with my note 2.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simone:
Well, to be honest I don't see the necessity of having two Android phones especially when you hold the top Android phone already in your hands. Buy a cheap phone for calls/text if that is your case. Buy an iPhone 5 to get the best of both worlds. Lol. HTC J Butterfly is a competition for the Note 2. Droid Razr Maxx HD for the greatest mAh battery for a phone.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomh235:
Lumia 800 is dirt cheap now on payg. I might have to get one for times it would be dangerous to carry the note 2 and give me somewhere to put my 2nd sim. If only we had proper Google voice in the UK.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superkoolkat2:
Im personally thinking of getting a nexus 4. (if they ever become available :rolleyes:) i know my note 2 is the best in a lot of ways but i can never have just one phone for extended periods of time. I think the smaller size and stock Android is a great second phone, especially if you don't like rooting and romming.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xartic12:
I used my note II along with a HTC One X and thought it was a great companion phone. Only thing that bothered me was the standby time of the HoX being around 4 days with an hr of screen time.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylec:
I also use an htc one x and the note 2 together. Great combination because you get the bad ass screen of the one x and the functionality of the note 2. Plus i just wifi tether to my one x to save me having a second sin card

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] vibrant808:
Hi, anyone know if theres an easy way to have the partition back to just Sdcard. Went from cm 10.1 back to touchwiz and of course all my directories are off now. Should I manually do move everything to SDcard? What have you guys done if you've run into this problem? I'm sure I'm going to switch to android 4.2 again sometime in the future so I don't want to continually be moving files. Anyone switch back and forth from 4.2 to 4.1 and can you tell me what you guys do to address the issue? Thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] vibrant808:
Will wiping internal storage fix it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
No it's set up that way for the different profiles 4.2 allows. Each profile will get a different number.

It's always going to be that way unless they remove user profiles
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] vibrant808:
Yeah I know theyre for 4.2 but I'm back on 4.1 stock touchwiz and want the folder structure to revert back. Do you know how to make that happen?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bradleyw801:
I am not familiar with the 4.2 partitions, so forgive me if this known, but when you say SD card, do you mean internal, or external? If it's your external, you could just back up all the files you want to your computer, format the SD card, and put the files back on. I think you can do this with the internal storage as well from a custom recovery. That should remove any partitions created by 4.2. It will obviously wipe all your data, so make sure back it up before doing this.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] vibrant808:
Ah yeah im talking about internal storage. I'm about to format it and see if that works.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
Ah just skimmed your post sorry.. and as far Sam I'm aware, they are just sym links

Meaning, just select everything from the 0 folder and past in the sdcard folder then ensure everything is gone from 0 and delete it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] vibrant808:
Yeah I just wiped everything including internal. Backed up everything first onto a PC of course. It fixed the issue, now there is only SDCARD. no

"0" :good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
Yeah using adb shell I just

Cp -r /storage/sdcard/0/* /storage/sdcard
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fazelove:
I have this problem and my phone (cm10.1) won't connect to my laptop now. Do I have to revert back to cm 10? Because other than this issue everything else seems to be fine. And how do I fix both problems?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] OsmanMusa:
if you have TWRP as your recovery then you won't have to deal with /0/0/0 crap, /0 is only present in cwm for 4.2
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fazelove:
How would I go from cwm to twrp
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] OsmanMusa:
You can flash the twrp zip from inside cwm i believe but gotta put the twrp zip file for your device inside ur sd card and then flash or you can use rom manager to flash the twrp for your device but be careful and read up.

I have this question, in ICS when i install the facebook app, its ask me to sync my contacts in with facebook (the existing, i mean the contacts in my phone to update with fb photo, info, etc) but in jellybean i cant, i see the account there, i turned on the sync option, but it doesnt do anything.

Someone know what to do?

If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. Tell me what you use that gives you the best battery life!

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
try them all out, find which one your device likes best. every device is diffetent and reacts differently with different roms. there is no "best". i have a feeling that you will want to try different kernels too, since thats whatll play a role in battery life. start experimenting. for my device, its rasbean jelly rom with the trinity kernel.

its the kernel that has a more significancy when it comes to battery life.

well it down loaded and i did the factory wife and clear , but when i went to find the files i didnt see them in the download option

fast forward , found the files but will not load , fails every time

i did a compleat back up with CWR but it will not reinstall !?

i can only get one rom to load the others he has on his phone just boot loop , now i can not even get the phone to download anything . nothing from the app store ex .

what did i do wrong and how can i clean this mess up ?

the factory reset and wipes dont seam to be doing any good .

any help would be great .

would i have to reinstall or reflash the zip for tmoble or would that stay when doing a reset !

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ohiostyle:
Bought a new Nexus 7 because my wife and I have them and love them. We

had

bought our daughter a cheap 'funtab' from walmart just so she could play a few games she loves and hopefully leave ours alone, the funtab was a complete POS so it was returned to WM and just bought her a N7 instead.

When booted, the tablet it immediately notified me of the update from 4.1.2 to 4.2.1. Each time it tried to update it would fail partially through, not sure why. So I thought I'd download and use the toolkit to force the update. After unlocking, rooting, installing busybox and so on. I choose the option to flash stock image. The update process started OK there but part way through gave an error, something about needing to be 'X' but is instead 'x' before going back to the home screen. Now the tablet is stuck in fastboot mode, and cant boot to either recovery or android. I think I may be in trouble here.... Any suggestions?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veeman:
#1 reason why people shouldn't use tool kits to root. You have no idea what went wrong or where the problem occurred.

I'm assuming that your tablet is unlocked so you need to download a custom recovery and install it via fastboot.

Then download the Stock 4.2.1 ROM from the Android development section and flash it in the recovery.

This should give you an idea of how to do it.

I've done more research and I'm currently working on getting the android sdk going. I've downloaded it, jdk, the proper factory image (i think I f'd up by accidentally downloading the factory image for the hspa model). My question now is can the factory image be flashed from what appears to be fastboot mode, or do i need to flash custom recovery first (via the sdk)? I can confirm that the bootloaded is unlocked.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ohiostyle:

Hit For keep up my Developing!!;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
That question came to my mind too first time I saw this usage ;P It took me a while to guess the answer (This is my own derived answer.. If any experienced devs know better, please enlighten us all :D )

There are loads of busybox binaries and not all are fully compatible with our phones. So why create a dependency on them when we have an inbuilt function to do the same ? ;)

Plus, the obvious fact that we are limiting usage to just 1 binary instead of calling up busybox as well should be sufficient ;) Hope it helps :D

Cheers

This is a great guide.

And yes, it should work :) But in case it doesnt, just get a binary from any of the zips for custom roms there :P Also, I believe signing is based mostly on the script not binary so shouldnt be necessary. But as a precaution, Id advice you do it all the same to avoid issues :P You can resign an edited zip (without deleting the old certificates.etc ) :D

Can u please explain a lil more on busybox and binary thing?? I didn't get it... :silly:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Busybox is a binary which adds alot of unix shell commands to Android. Unfortuntately, not all Busybox binaries (versions of a software,kinda ;) ) work without bugs, and some are incompatible with some phones.. So the less you depend on busybox for your operations, The more likely it is to work properly :p Plus, if update-binary works, then you can be sure that mounting can work fine ;)
