[Nexus 10 General] knoxploration:
This, but unfortunately Google has proven time and again that they don't give a flying monkeys about what the userbase wants. If it isn't part of Google's personal vision for Android, it won't happen. Proper Bluetooth support isn't part of their vision, so it never happened. Color management isn't part of their vision, so it won't happen.

What we're left with is third-party solutions which, as far as I am aware, can't provide color calibration outside of their own app. (Eg.: SpyderGallery will let you calibrate your tablet's screen and view color-corrected images through its own viewer, but if you then switch to another app or the default gallery, you're uncalibrated again. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.datacolor.caprica)

It's a shame.
[Nexus 10 General] Fidelator:
Are there any rumours of another device with a similar GPU coming to the market? I believe it was mentioned earlier on the thread that we needed something like that in order to port the screen calibration code but for some reason the Chromebook that uses this SoC wasn't useful to us.
[Nexus 10 General] s1lenz:
yeh samsung is rumored to make a clone of the nexus 10 with the same soc and call it their own galaxy thing.
[Nexus 10 General] KimCheeZZ:
I'm not a developer but I was reading the android developer site and came across this:

Graphics

GLES2.0 SurfaceFlinger

Android 4.4 upgrades its SurfaceFlinger from OpenGL ES 1.0 to OpenGL ES 2.0. This boosts performance by using multi-texturing, and it improves color calibration and supports more advanced special effects.

I realize that the screen calibration issue is not as simple and straightforward as the above had put it but I was just wondering if that would have an impact on the n10 screen.

Guess all we can do is wait at this point...
[Nexus 10 General] Fidelator:
I was wondering the exact same thing and there's something else that has had me wondering for a while, we all know both the Note 3 and the 2014 Note 10.1 use the new Mali T628, so is it possible to port the mDNIe from either of those devices? Is the 628 similar enough to ours to be able to do that?

I'm still terribly bothered by the horrible color reproduction on our device.:(
[Nexus 10 General] CazeW:
When the N10 launched, I studied the possibility of porting mDNIe but came pretty quickly to the conclusion that it would have been very difficult. Some days ago I took a look at the Note 10.1 2014 sources and the code for mDNIe seems to be more portable now but it would still require quite a bit of work. And a proper kernel developer to do it. If I remember correctly, [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] was interested of this back in the day so maybe he could be persuaded to take another look at it.
[Nexus 10 General] Fidelator:
I'll start posting on kernel threads, however if you guys could post too it would very helpful, I doubt any dev would take the time to port it if there's a single person asking for it.
[Nexus 10 General] Fidelator:
I pm'ed Franco yesterday, haven't received an answer yet.
[Nexus 10 General] Fidelator:
Since I never got a reply I'd like to move on to the KTManta thread, however I've posted asking this like 4 times even before the new Note was released and I was completely ignored, could any of you guys ask for it first? Then post here so others (including myself) follow.
[Nexus 10 General] 3DSammy:
Did Kit Kat improved Nexus 10's color calibration?

Yesterday I tried out the [4.4] Tempest (OmniROM) by dibblebill. I had forgotten all about the Android v4.4 color calibration comments. Last night I started watching, with MXPlayer, 720p HD TV shows I'd recorded with a Hauppauge HDPVR. After a few minutes it struck me that the picture on my Nexus 10 simply looked crisper and all around better.

This is a subtle change but to my eye was definitely there. When I remembered the comments about color calibration and Android 4.4, I decided to see if this was just a placebo effect or the specific video file. I hadn't noticed similar improvements when using the N10 for general text media consumption.

I tried out Netflix on "SuperHD" content and the same subtle improvements were observed. You need to give Netflix time, greater than two minutes, to recognize that your device can handle a steady "SuperHD" stream before the highest quality video is displayed. I was using an OTG attached USB Gigabit Ethernet adapter at the time. I even tried a handbrake transcoded video file from my NAS (640x360 mkv) and the impression was not diminished at least not in regards to the colors.

Again this is a subtle difference but most appreciated (put a smile on my face). I would like it if others could independently confirm my observation.
[Nexus 10 General] XxLordxX:
Hi,

I believe it's not placebo!! The first thing I noticed when I updated was that the screen was, well "better". Then I thought it was just because I cleaned it, today with more use (and consequently more fingerprints lol) I can clearly see that there's still a difference. I tested with a 720p, a 1080p and a 2560x1600 videos, all working better, at least it seems haha!

I believe the better RAM management got us a improvement in the GPU too :P. Just a random thought lol. All hail KitKat!

[Nexus 10 General] mark.m.moran:
For those of us on stock should we notice this as well or is it just for custom ROMs??
[Nexus 10 General] 3DSammy:
As the statement about colour calibration improvements came from Google, I'm confident that this is a KitKat change and any stock, custom, rooted or otherwise would get the benefits. Of course the effect would vary per device so I will restrict my statement to the N10.
[Nexus 10 General] XxLordxX:
Hi,

I'm Stock Rooted, so I believe you should be able to see the difference too. But well, like [MENTION=4056970]3DSammy[/MENTION] already said it can vary from device to device. So to yours the difference may not be as clear... Just an idea.

Display color settings greatly improved in android 4.4 kitkat

I've been lurking this forum for a while and just signed up to reply here:).

3Dsammy and XxLordxX seemed convinced that colors look better in 4.4 so decided to upgrade from 4.3 myself. I decided to go with the rastakat 4.4 custom rom by rascarlo.

Before upgrading(still on 4.3) I looked through my picture album with 12+ megapixel high resolution images and a 720p video on youtube and then looked through the same material after installing 4.4. I have to say that the contrast seems greatly improved!:highfive: Before upgrade it had the nexus 10 high brightness low contrast look which has been bugging me for a long time, and that seems to be resolved with 4.4.

After upgrade to 4.4 I am really happy with the colors and contrast of the display on this device :good: :good:

Great find guys!
[Nexus 10 General] jefflikesbagels:
This could possibly be placebo, but I think that the screen yellowing on the right side of my N10 is no longer as pronounced, which is good. I ended up biting the bullet and refrained from sending it for repair based on my prior horrific experience with the repair center in Texas.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 713King:
As the tittle says I had success installing R10 twice on my Verizon Galaxy S3 and when installing R11 it just stays on the first boot screen and pretty much a soft brick because it just keeps rebooting it self. The first time I tried installing R11 it actually took a long time on the HyperDrive boot animation that I took battery off and tried to start it again but same thing it will just hang in there, I didn't try wiping cache at all which I should of tried in the first place instead of trying re-installing it again. This is probably my 5th time trying to install and I also downloaded the rom on two separate computers to see if was a broken download but it does the same thing on both files. Is there maybe a file on the zip file that I can edit so it can make it past the first boot screen and get it to actually boot? I tried different kernels, different ad-dons etc I am also using TWRP recovery and I feel like I should try CWM to see if it will actually make it boot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lvgdgts:
Have you checked the file's md5? I had a bad download earlier that resulted in a messed up install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 713King:
Yes I just checked and both files match to the one posted on HyperDrive original post

Edit: Just added image for proof
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 713King:
This is what I get after I finish installing the rom it says FAILED in TWRP, could this be why it is not working? And if so how could I fix this
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 713King:
After messing with the addons I came to a conclusion that the XPERIAZ theme it's what is causing the bootloops because I was able to run the rom with the galaxy s4 theme and so far no problems at all.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeatyMutaWings:
I've been using the Stability Test app for undervolting, but it turns out even if the test runs stable at every frequency for a prolonged period, the moment i turn on my camera the phone crashes. Increasing the voltage by a little fixes that.

Does that mean the stability test app is completely crap? or does the camera crash for some other reason?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
it means its testing stability of your cpu under use, not your ability to undervolt. there is no standard for undervolting to bench, every device is different. your camera crashes, that means it needs more voltage. your phone needs more voltage to be stable with the undervolt. anyways, even for cpu stability, those stability test apps are crap.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beremus:
I would say that using the device and see if it crashes is the best method to know if the UV is stable or not. Try to use it like you are used to do, run games, take videos, capture photos, make phone calls, sms, etc.

[Motorola Photon 4G] pradeeppk:
Motorola defy is comes with locked bootloader. But defy have so may custom roms(miui,ics,jb4.1,4.2), custom kernels, and even use two or more roms to boot.( one from internel and others from externel sd card). If defy is able to do this with locked bootloader then why photon ?.

These are the words from defy wiki page.

LOCKED Bootloader, what does this means?For some people is hell, for others (normally non advanced users) is a pretty cool insurance for their phone. This locked Bootloader thing means there is no (so far) way to rewrite the Stock Bootloader or the Stock Recovery.When the phone turns on the Bootloader basically starts all the hardware and make your phone come alive.Then we have the Stock Recovery, this little part of your phone is also locked and cannot be removed or changed from your phone, it will allow you to make Recovery stuff like Full Wipe (Data and Cache) and install Update.zip files.At first this became a problem, because with a locked Bootloader there is no way to install a Custom Recovery like ClockworkMod or install a new Rom.Here is where2nd Initcomes to play, this little awesome app kicks inright after the Bootloader and allows the Defy to load a different, non-Stock Android.With this, you can also install a Custom Recovery, which runs from the Internal Memory, and is not ran from the Recovery Partition (remember: locked, not accessible) what does this means? That even screwing up your phone, deleting allyour stuff, or screwing /system partition the phone can still get into Recovery, be recognized by RSD Litein Bootloader Mode and be flashed with a Stock or modified Rom (more on this later) and it will come back tolive normally.Thanks to this locked Bootloader, is really, really hard to Brick your Defy.Most of the issues seen on the Forums are NOT Bricks, just incorrectly flashed SBFs (more on this later). With brick one mean the phone has no access to the Bootloader or can’t initialize its hardware, requiring you to use a JTAG to directly reprogram the phone (which I’m not sure is possible on the Defy).

Custom Recovery

A custom recovery is a special"App"** that comes in a separate partition in your phone. This"App"** allows Android Phones to do recovery tasks, like deleting data,installing recovery Zips and so on; The tasks you are allowed to do withStock Recovery are pretty basic. Here is where Clockwork Mod comes into play.CWM is a Recovery that allows you to not only do basic tasks but also create Nandroid Backups, Restore Them, Fix Permissions and quite a lot of other useful stuff.Normally a Custom Recovery is installed by flashing the Recovery Partition in your Android Phone witha Custom Image, but since our Defy comes with a Locked Bootloader, this is not possible. Leaving us without many options to proceed.And that's why we have 2nd Init, thisapplication is what actually installs CWM in the Defy, it does it by installing it in your internal memory and not in your Recovery Partition and then pointing the Android system to it right after the Stock Recovery boots.**Is not actually an App, is more likea Linux Console with UI so you can recover.
[Motorola Photon 4G] pradeeppk:
I think if our devs modify the 2ndint apk for photon, then all locked photon users will able to try all roms available here.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cooldevil1989:
One dev is already working on this....Bt not yet successful...

But we hope he'll b successful.... N we can enjoy the test of different ROMS.
[Motorola Photon 4G] pradeeppk:
It is glad to hear that and hope he will achieve it. Compared with photons hardware my defy is far behind.

After reading through this forum i realised that its not possible now to try jb, ics, or even some cm7 roms in my photon becouse it is 2.3.5..

[General Questions and Answers] lemonz23:
I currently have AT&T and am paying $175/month for 4 lines. My niece is at T-mobile and she has recently bought an iPhone 5 with a brand new plan and such and she only pays $65/month for 3 lines, unlimited everything. Now this is a huge amount of savings for my family and I. My dad currently has the grandfathered Unlimited AT&T data plan (which I heard it gets throttled down to edge after 3GB of usage) for $30. My sister has a 2GB plan paying only $25. I only have a 200mb plan for $15. And my mom owns a dumbphone. I live in northern California and even though we get around the same, if not better coverage here with AT&T, I'm sure it's not worth the amount we are currently paying compared to what T-Mobile has to offer.

Now I just want to ask you which one do you prefer, AT&T or T-Mobile? Why?

How's battery consumption compared to not forcing it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmg1001:
Usually forcing the use of GPU does cause a difference in battery life, but the difference is unnoticeable. Maybe half a millisecond less of battery life.

Edit: My info may be wrong. I just read this in ICS days in a similar thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Culex316:
It should increase battery life since hardware acceleration usually means less stuff for the CPU to process which equals power savings.

I enable it on every ROM i use after ramping up GPU to 384 without really thinking about it. Always has been solid for me. And yeah, im gonna say that it doesnt do a 'whole' lot for battery. But hey, another 5% on a charge? I'll take it.
