[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Verdnan:
I installed, it removed the hiss but bass was a little off, not satisfied enough to keep it as it also knocks you off the update with stock firmware.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amdhunter:
I just bought a new JVC receiver for my car. I want to use my Nexus 4 to play back music via Bluetooth Audio. When I use my iPhone 4 or Lumia 920, Bluetooth audio work fine and show media information, but my Nexus does not. (Actually, my Lumia locks up horribly, but that's another forum discussion)

I don't know how to explain, so I posted this video. On the screen, you see the track/artist info via BT streaming. When I use my Nexus 4 - no info at all, just the playback buttons.

Currently using Xylon with Franco kernel. Would this matter?

EDIT: Turns out that the AVRCP Bluetooth protocol is either unsupported or broken. *sigh*
[LG Optimus 2x] dioxx:
Hi friends,

I'm planning buy a P990 and one of the first things that i pretend to do is change the rom. It comes with a (stock?) Android 2.2, and there a few questions that i need know:

i need make a normal update to GB for flash or could be directl for roms with 4.x.x?

need change baseband?

need configure google account in Froyo for flash or don't?

thanks for help now,

Dioxx
[LG Optimus 2x] DrummerMuppet:
Hi there,

You can jump directly on GB or ICS (whatever your preference is) without having to configure your Google account on it. There are several ROMs on the Development forum, check them out, read people's feedback and pick the one that suits your needs best.

You can also find a few guides there. I recommend reading tonyp's Baseband guide - it answers pretty much everything related to basebands.

ICS was released officially by LG not long ago, however it can't be considered completely stable yet. If you need something reliable, I recommend Temasek's CM7 (also available at the Development forum).

The best advice I (or anyone here) can give you is: read, read a lot. Spend time investigating and learning about the available ROMs / mods / kernels. Most questions you might have now are already covered, all you need is time and forum's Search function.

Hope that helps you get started!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kingadam719:
Hi, I have unfortunately bricked my Razr after trying the "Restore Droid Razr to 6.12.173" on DroidRazrUtility 1.8. I was running CM10 on my Razr (Verizon US) previously and wanted to go back to stock/unrooted. I first tried to unroot the device, thinking it would do what I needed (using the utility), but this did not work; it just got rid of superuser without getting rid of CM10 (it was a duh moment after I did that...). Afterwards I tried the restore option on the utility which ran its course, rebooted, but got stuck on the Motorola Dual Core emblem and then turned off. I tried to go into AP Fastboot, but when I press the buttons for that, the screen flashes white, then goes to the Dual Core screen again. I got it into fastboot somehow once and retried the restore method, so I know it is possible to get into fastboot, but every time I try now it won't work. Can someone please help me?

EDIT: I can get into the AP Fastboot Flash Mode now, but it will just bring me straight to that, and not to the regular recovery screen. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timmyfoxeh:
So, the other day I purchased a Datacolor Spyder 4 Pro screen calibrator. Being a photographer I want all my (primary) displays to look as natural and true to what my eye sees as possible.

So I decided to try calibrating my Gnex screen. I don't know any good way of doing this so I had to improvise, what I did is I first took screenshots of the entire calibration process and came to the conclusion that it simply shows 5 images: one solid white, black, red, green and blue image and measures it to define the accuracy of the uncalibrated screen. Then having told the calibration software that the screen has built in RGB sliders (the gnex doesn't I know, but I ticked the option anyway, you'll understand soon why) it then gives me a screen where it measures from a solid white image how much bias there is in either of the channels (red, green and blue) and gives a clear diagram overview, the objective is to adjust the RGB sliders of the monitor to make the 3 bars align (thus having no bias/tint in either channel for a natural reproduction). What I did here is that I used the color control feature available in various custom kernels (I'm using franco) and adjusted the color multipliers until' I my calibrator reported it being even and natural. I also used the RGB Gamma for some minor fine tuning.

I returned to the home screen and WOW, it's looks better than ever, grays are perfectly natural with NO GREENISH, CYAN OR PURPLE TINTS anywhere! Whites aren't perfect, leaning more toward a bright light gray, but worth noting I'm having only 31% screen brightness and I'm not sure if AMOLED can achieve a pure bright white image without a ton of cyan bias.

---

Tl;dr

Long story short, I got an hardware screen calibrator and used it to assist me get the most natural values with the color control in franco's kernel and it just pure amazing with none of the tints that the gnex is known for having.

My final values:

NOTE: These values may or may not look good for you, every AMOLED screen is different and needs different settings, these are simply the settings that worked for me, what's best for your device might be completely different!

Multipliers: 233 175 210

RGB Gamma: 1 0 1

Trinity contrast: 0

OMAP gamma: 1.0/disabled
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nitsua98:
Are the multipliers in order as RGB? Because these settings just make my screen look orangey
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VirgilO:
First thing, thank you for post:good:, i had looked for somebody to do a true calibration ever since i bought my gnex, having been spoiled before by my nexus s slcd screen, which was an excellent batch, so moving to the SAMOLED HD, for me, wasn't as great as i had hoped.

Still even after trying all the presets and fine tuning it still is slightly off.. (annoying thing with these screens not being all the same and being so different on quality, so you can't simply just input the color values and get the same result).

Anyway i like your numbers, they look pretty god on my screen.

Off topic: I'm probably wrong, but i think read somewhere that going over 200 on the color multipliers was supposed to make the screen more susceptible to burn in?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timmyfoxeh:
Thanks for the reply. They should be in order indeed. Note that every display is different so it may not be what's best for your individual device. Additionally, AMOLED screens I believe is said to wear/fade quite quickly compared to LCD with use and also due to the way the actual panel works in our screens each color channel will fade with different pace, effectively leading to unbalanced colors based on what you view on it; For example if you view a lot of red colors, the reds will start fading and thus everything will look a tad cyan-tinted. Finally there may be a difference in the kernel you use and the version of that kernel.

Simply put, unfortunately it's not guaranteed that what looks best for everyone else as each screen is different.

Oh, another thing I noticed; Screen brightness actually affects the color balance pretty largely. Higher brightness means less greens and more reds/blues.

And thanks to you for your reply. I actually believe I've heard someone that had used hardware to measure up the best settings for a natural 6500K color balance, but as I replied above, each screen is different and thus they were slightly too much on the blue/cyan end for me. To be honest, most settings I've tried that others have claimed to look great have always been too much green or too much blue. I've tried to adjust after my own eyes and gotten pretty close to what I believe to be good colors but always there is some kind of flaw, so I'm quite surprised to be honest I was able to get such a good overall result.

As for the color multipliers, I've heard it too but I have never seen anyone confirm it, so I'd call it off as a rumor. The burn-ins I've seen using values around 150-200 previously only apply to bright contrast colors and fades away within 2-3 seconds at most and 31% screen brightness is rather low I'd say.

---

On another note.. I just want to add that this isn't necessarily a full calibration but just an attempt to reach the most balanced color values. When it comes to gamma and contrast however I'm not sure it's really possible to mimic that of an LCD screen due to the way AMOLED handles blacks and produces very vibrant colors.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neovdr:
Actually deterioration is a problem with normal AMOLED screens. Samsung uses PenTile configuration to mitigate that in the SAMOLED and SAMOLED Plus variants. More info in the following interview with a Samsung engineer:

He's right, smartass, the screen shot is just the source of color, no matter how you calibrate your screen, every screen shot looks the same on other devices. We can only notice with real eyes contact.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hollow.Droid:
That makes as much sense as taking screenshots of different brightness levels.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
You must be a genius. Never heard anyone call somebody "Captain perfect" either. Pretty crappy insult.

Glad to see some people have enough sense to realize screenshots are software rendered though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Braneless:
You knew this was going to happen lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timmyfoxeh:
Every screen is different, what looks good for me might look rubbish for you unfortunately :/

Also because someone asked for a before/after...

Now this will be highly unscientific and hard to reproduce but here's a before/after example (clicky for larger image):

Also advised you look at it with a good desktop monitor, and bear in mind that cameras are not perfect in any way so even if the camera settings used were identical and white balance set to match as closely as possible, it may not look to you as significant in terms of differences than it is to my eye. Nonetheless I can certainly see a difference especially in the gray and white tones.

The before example is not the stock kernel but simply the reference settings of all multipliers set to 200 and RGB gamma all set to 0. I believe this should be fairly similar to what stock kernel shows.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spacekobra:
Still looks orangeish to me so I lowered red down to 220. But thanks anyways. I always love testing these.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dameon87:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
You had a green tint before u changed it. I can that in the Google Search bar.

And what's funny is the color u recommended are extremely similar to mine lol.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timmyfoxeh:
As said before in the thread, it may not look as good for you unfortunately because every screen is different and has had different amounts of wear (as much as a day to a week is enough for our AMOLED screens to change color balance!)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Batou069:
what apps are u using in order to change color settings?

trickster app dont have trinity contrast etc
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timmyfoxeh:
Please read my updated note in OP.

I never said it would look good for you because every AMOLED screen is different and have different amounts of flaws. If it looks horrible for you it simply means they are not optimal for you. The only way to get the best settings is to find them for YOUR device. AMOLED screens also degrade slowly with use so I may have to ajust my settings in a week or 2 to compensate for this!

I use Franco.kernel updater with the Franco.kernel if you don't see Trinity contrast it most likely your kernel doesn't support it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timmyfoxeh:
Okay, update!

After only 3 days, the colors seem to have been starting to grow a pinkish tint, so it seems that indeed AMOLED screens change their color balance VERY quickly. I'll wait until' Monday and see if it gets worse before I try and re-calibrate it.

Introduction/Credit

This hack is due full credit to GitNick on irc.freenode.net #galaxy-note-2.. I packaged it into CASUAL format because I found it useful and needed it repeatedly. I've had it sitting on my desktop and rather than simply clean up and delete it, i figured I'd post it.

Prerequisites

1. A windows, Linux, or Mac computer.

2. Ensure your Java is up-to-date

3. Your device must be rooted.

Instructions

Click Settings>Developer Options>Usb Debugging

Plug your device into the computer

click the Do It! button in CASUAL

On your device, enable the Hidden Menus from the screen that pops up

Click the Do It! button again

Enjoy the hidden menus features

Download CASUAL GNote2 Hidden Menus

Thanks to AndrewZorn for this image:

For a full restore on Galaxy devices... say you wiped it somehow, which is totally possible with an unlocked IROM and I've done it. you need the EFS, mk9efs1, mk9efs2, and mk9efs3 partitions. The mk9efs partitions are used by the modem in order to authenticate it for the device. These partitions are required to prevent boot-looping after you enter Android. If someone decides to ditch their device, please post these files to help out others. I'm not enitrely sure if the mk9 files contain device specific information.

You will need to get a "stock" version of these files on a rooted device, "dd'd" over and then perform the IMEI change procedure below to have a fully operational device.

To restore your IMEI, follow the directions from <:GeeK:> adapted to work on this device.

This is a really simple CASUAL script:

shell "su -c am broadcast -a android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE -d android_secret_code://HIDDENMENUENABLE"
shell "su -c am broadcast -a android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE -d android_secret_code://IOTHIDDENMENU"

Casual won't work either then. CleanRom has broken the ability to enable the dialer codes and hidden menu. I saw the same issue on IRC last night with someone else that is on CleanRom. If you are on a proper Verizon TW rom, this apk works.

Talk the CleanRom dev to fix it. In my experience, its a mismatch of apks from different versions and phones that has that effect.

If you want, try it via adb:

adb shell
su
am broadcast -a android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE -d android_secret_code://HIDDENMENUENABLE

It probably won't work for you on CleanRom though and that is the same method the apk is using.
