On LCD yes.

Samsung hasn't used a white theme for AMOLED devices so far.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Aerys:
On S tablets it is white.
[Galaxy S 4 General] yahyoh:
:eek::eek::eek:

HTC use white backgrounds , Samsung use white backgrounds for devices with LCD screens and black backgrounds for devices with AMOLED ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] -]Megacharge[-:
Exactly. My S2 used black backgrounds, and if I end up getting an S4 I want them to remain black.
[Galaxy S 4 General] EB10000:
Isn't that's why we install themed costumized roms...? Most market apps use white bg... I always mod all apps before installing them to keep my phone fully inverted...

It is not logical changing from black to white for amoled screen. Why they want to sacrifice battery (although very little) and make the settings not more compelling (black background looks fantastic in amoled, it makes infinite contrast)

The pre-production units that were on display at Samsung's event, all used white backgrounds for settings.

The final units might use black.

[Galaxy S 4 General] hot_spare:
Good link.

I wonder is there any option to change menu colour between black and white? We have seen both white and black option, maybe they can include an option to change the menu colour.

This is what I was thinking. I mean Samsung allows you to customize the lock screen and messaging app, so they probably allow you to change the color of the settings and such.
[Galaxy S 4 General] JmJ17:
Mmm, interesting. I think that all we've already seen are pre-production units. The final version will be black bakground (in my opinion)

[Galaxy S 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
What difference does it make? Both S-600 and Octa SGS4's deliver far better battery life than any phone (except the N2) anyone here has owned before. The additional sensors that are on all the time consumer more power than the light backgrounds in TW. To compensate Samsung's included a 2,600mAh battery and the end result is better battery life (taking in to account stand by time) than either the XZ or One. If you turn off the proximity and touch sensors in settings you'll pick up another 5% battery life if anyone's so inclined. The SGS4's display is also brighter than previous SAMOLED displays and for people that are concerened about battery life compared to other Samsung phones just dial back the brightness to what you had before. This would be a legitimate gripe if battery performance on the SGS4 wasn't so good.

Light text on a black background is difficult to see in direct sunlight. I'm thrilled that Samsung's finally ditched it in favor of an easier to read more modern look in the latest TW.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jasbur17:
It would be nice if it was smart coloring (S Color?)

Like in my car, when it's getting dark out, the GPS map automatically switches to dark colored maps.
[Galaxy S 4 General] kenshi1023:
look for that in the sgs V, the next really big thing.\

and the white back ground is due to the "cloned look" of the iphone no? didn't they infringed that according to apple?:o
[Galaxy S 4 General] j510:
Sorry but that apple things getting old. Whether they really did or not nobody cares. This companys on another level.

The other side of XDA :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
Every SGS4 shown in a review has had white backgrounds in the UI and you'd have to assume those devices were provided by Samsung. All the units at the Unpacked event in NYC had white backgrounds too. The guy in the thread you referenced said he's not able to post pics which is odd since obviously review units are being made available and Samsung's had no issues with pics, screenshots, benchmarks, and battery testing being posted. So we have dozens of "official" phones provided by Samsung showing a white background and one phone with a supposed black background that can't be photographed.

GSMArena's had two different SGS4's and both have had white backgrounds.

Loudspeaker test

Update: We re-ran the loudspeaker with a different Galaxy S4 unit, which performed a bit better in the Voice section of the test.​

The second they received was in retail packaging:

And they have about 40 different screenshots of the UI in their review all with a white background:

So if I had to wager I'd go with what the mainstream media's been provided by Samsung as what we're likely to see in the final version. Can you imagine how pissed GSMArena would be if they had to go back and replace every UI photo with one with a black background after being led to believe what they tested was representative of the finished product? In defense of the XDA'r with the mysterious black background maybe the default is white and there's a setting somewhere he toggled that made his black even if he says he can't find it. A toggle would be great as it would keep everyone happy.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jpen:
Did you see the videos on page 2? 2 separate videos and both showing black backgrounds. Guess we won't positively know which one makes the cut until it is released.
[Galaxy S 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
No I didn't, thanks for pointing it out.

This is from that video.

But this is from an official Samsung video showing S Translator.

Look at it this way, leaving the background black would have been a lot easier for Samsung in updating TW from the N2/SGS3 to the SGS4. Something made them invest the effort to create a white background that touches every component of TW. So either there's a toggle giving users a choice (which would be great) or perhaps the ones with black backgrounds are carrier or region (ROM) specific. It just seems odd that with all the units shipped to reviewers and units used in Samsung's own promotional material having a white background that it would just suddenly disappear this close to launch. I guess we'll know soon. ;)

---------- Post added at 05:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

Here's the "about" page from the first SGS4 GSMArena tested. The kernel's about two weeks older than the version posted above with the black background.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jpen:
Well if you look at the picture from the video, it is dated March 26, 2013, which was not too long ago. I believe the S Translator was taken before that.

Also I found this video from a few days ago showing the S Translator and it is all black.

So a couple months ago on my Droid 4, carrier billing worked fine. I don't always use it, so I'm not sure when specifically it stopped working. But Now I switched to a Galaxy Nexus and I am trying to use carrier billing, except its not a option. I think it might be due to the updated Play store apk and JB. I tried a old version of the Play store apk, but it didn't even show Google Play before force closing. My question is, anyone that is on Verizon and a ICS ROM, could you please check if carrier billing is still a option for you, please.

Hi there,

I wanted to test WM 2003 on my XDA 1 with 32 MB, but I see a few Probs:

1. I don't know where to find it

2. It would be very nice if somebody could cook a spezial Version to use as much of the Flash memory as possible.

I have my XDA for about one month now and there are two annoying things with it:

1. Can not separately adjust Volume of the Phone :-(((((

2. Can not adjust brightness of the display.

Maybe anyone of you can help me further.

Would be great. Thanx.

This is an Android Jellybean 4.2.2 ROM, based on the sources of CyanogenMod10!

I used this ROM on my old Captivate and LOVED it. But I recently got an SGS2 and no Hellybean. So I had to port it for my device.

I then ported it for my friend to use on his d2tmo, and I decided to share it with you all.

All Credits and any Thanks or Donations go to DerTeufel1980 as Hellybean is his baby. (And not the only one, congrats on becoming a daddy.) Allot of this OP is copied direct from his page. And Cyanogen as well, I used his Excellent nightly as base.

Please do not ask in their respective threads for support.

Differences to cm10.1

:

- facebook sync integrated

- option to enable high end gfx effects, on lower end devices

- possibility to disable high end gfx effects, on higher end devices

- possibility to activate and customize navigation bar (color of background, glow effect, transparency)

- possibility to customize statusbar (color of background, transparency)

- transparent lockscreen (taken from paranoid android, coded by jesus david)

- edge swipe navigation (ported from sgt7)

- ability to enable tablet_ui (ported from aokp)

- kill-all button at recents panel (ported from aokp)

- task manger button at recents panel (this needs os monitor to be installed, otherwise nothing happens...still wip)

- customizable long-press-back-kill timeout (from 500ms to 3000ms)

- option to use sense4 recents panel --- May be removed?

- pdroid patched, if app installed, reachable at: settings --> system --> security

- added the possibility to search for contacts by nick or company name (with dialpad T9, has to be activated at dialpad settings), cherry-picked from AOKP

- and much more.

BUGS

- None.

- You tell me?

Next release I'll compile CM10.1 base from source. I already compile Toro, and Hercules, whats one more. Hellybean usually updates every week to 10 days, sometimes more sometimes less. I hope you all like this Port and we can fix any glitches together as I do not own a SGS3. The Bluetooth has me stumped. It's is broken in my Hercules port as well. In base CM10.1 Bluetooth is fine...I don't use BT but I know allot of people do, so hopefully someone here will have an idea for a fix.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] drExel:
BT

I noticed that BT is borked for all CM10.1 (4.2.2) roms in one fashion or another (either BT media doesn't work right or I've had BT Calls just hang up the entire ROM until you shut the handsfree device off). I've seen this behavior in multiple CM10.1 ports for the T999, sadly. You mention this (BT) works fine in CM10.1 base? Are there any known ports of the same that carry this working functionality over?

Great ROM, btw!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ThdDude:
Well CM10.1 Nightly BT is fine for hercules, and toro. Well at least for what little I have used it. ADB connect to laptop etc. And thanks glad you like it. Going to try a fix for BT later will post it and need a Guinea Pig try. But thats hours away.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ThdDude:
I woke up and noticed Hellybean had another new release. I ported it over left camera fix in, That popup message should be gone. I do not have the ability to test so please someone let me know.

Thanks for the nice ROM. I notice one thing that every now and then I get a pop-up "Hellbean int: then the version number" what is that mean?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ThdDude:
Not sure what I did wrong maybe used a base that was a bit older or newer than the ports, never seen it with my sgs2 port that I run as a DD. I believe the 4/6 doesn't have that issue. Not 100% sure on that since I don't own a SGS3 to try it.

Is that happening on the port I posted 4/6? If so, is everyone having this issue? You 2 are the only real feedback I have seen here.

Curious to those running it how is the speed and smoothness in comparison to other 4.2.2 ROM's/Ports? It just fly's on my SGS2.

Ok, I have a couple questions.. This SGS3 forum is not at all like the SGS2 which can be a little crazy at times. I can see how many have downloaded my port, which is quite a few, but I really haven't gotten much input. Do you all like it? Are enough of you using this to make it worth my time to port a Hellybean update? I mean porting is not hard to do, and does not take that much time. But its hard to judge if I am just wasting my time here.

Thanks
