[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaydaman:
If you run custom ROMs like CyanogenMod or flash a custom kernel such as KK, you realise that most graphic issues are resolved. The problem lies mostly with the outdated/poor implementation of PowerVR drivers in Samsung's stock ROM. Custom ROMs & kernels are using newer drivers.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xintorrim:
HM I tried to do that with the game in example (Real Racing 3) and it worked but I don't see how to do that with other games

My idea was maybe u can change graphics like on rr3, I will have look for u this afternoon and let u know. Ok mate.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaydaman:
There's some patching tool for Modern Combat 4 that can tweak the graphics if I recall. I think you can check in the HTC One X forum.

But that's beside the point, the main point being that the PowerVR SGX540 GPU is starting to feel a little underpowered as it shows its age. Even if you could force the games to run on high or max settings, performance would take a big hit, in some cases, the game slows to an unplayable pace.

The reason why there are patches, tools & mods to manually tweak graphics settings is because of the fragmented nature of Android, some devices have powerful hardware but have not been properly supported by the game developer yet.

---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

By the way, I have checked out the screenshots in this thread, they seem fine?

I would recommend the threadstarter to check out these games on other PowerVR SGX540 devices for a better comparison. If these games look better on other PowerVR SGX540 devices, then it would warrant further investigation.

As I mentioned already, the stock Samsung firmware for P31xx uses older PowerVR drivers according to various modders. By switching to custom ROMs or kernels that implement newer PowerVR drivers, users have reported better graphic performance/compatibility in games.

Well i had bad graphics with brotherhood of violence

I had installed brotherhood of violence game and was surprised to see the difference in graphics between s2 and tab2 for the same game. Graphics were soo terrible that i had tp uninstall the game from my tab and had to play on s2....

Well one possibility to have better graphics is to overclock the gpu(more computations per second) and then use patches for higher settings in games... as previously mentioned in the thread some developers ( mainly gameloff) seriously cap the performance...

u can use any custom kernel like kk's blackhawk/next kernel or dhollem kernel to overclock the GPU... see their respective threads for more info..

Our tabs GPU is clocked at 304mHz by default in stick and cm... these kernels allow overclocking 384mHz and 512mHz..

so the problem of frame rate drops when using patches can be solved by overclocking the GPU...

But we need to remember that Powervr540 is at least 4 yr old technology( i first saw it in galaxy s)... so we need to cut it some slack...

Cheers

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] xxxicu812:
It looks like this minus the bars. What it boils down to is no data no network. absolutely no connection of any kind. It was a big issue on my e4gt for awhile before it was discovered as a kernel related issue then eventually solved.

Or so I thought.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] GiantJay:
I would say you are in a bad area for signal. Or Network Vision is being worked on in your area, which is a good thing. I've never seen that happen on my phone unless I update the prl and profile. Never saw it on my S3 either.
[LG Optimus G Pro] greyhulk:
I had the Optimus G and loved it. One thing that it did that no other Android phone will is send pretty much any video you record as an MMS. It gives you the option to "trim" and regardless of whether or not you do, it then compresses it and sends it as an MMS in lesser quality.

I would assume that the G Pro would do this as well, since the software is probably pretty similar. Can someone confirm this on their AT&T model for me? I'm thinking about picking this bad boy up and, as stupid as it sounds, this is kind of one of the deciding factors for me.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaasey786:
So i was trying to get me speakers louder after the ota update lowered the volume and i installed the loud sound mods, soon I wanted to try out faux kernel and when I tried playing music it played for a couple seconds and then the phone made then loudest beep sound you could ever hear. I wiped my phone and flashed a new rom fresh, since then the speakers have been at a lower volume. One of the reasons I got this phone was for the speakers and it's loud capabilities. Judging my situation, do you think my speakers are blown out, if so is there any way I could get the tampered bootloader off the phone so I could send this in for return and get a replacement? Please help, thanks!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indirect:
A speaker being blown is not it being lower volume. A speaker being blown typically means 2 things.

1) The speaker is no longer functioning at all

2) The speaker is making a horrific "tinny" noise while playing audio that causes the listener to desire to hang themselves using speaker wire.

i was thinking one of the rows of the speaker grills on the top set of speakers stopped working cause it sounds like more volume is coming from the bottom then the top when i put my ear too it. Plus its nowhere near as loud as it was before. Js

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
To make boot animation to work with sound file you need right bootsound bin files, you must edit init.rc and also init.local.rc + build.prop

Hi Folks,

I created this mod for the Galaxy S4 I9505, However I think this mod would work on AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 as it running the same spec phone.

Could an experienced user test this mod and report back if it works, if not if they can upload the nfcnci.apk I will see if I can get the mod working on AT&T.

Before running the program please ensure you have a backup of nfcnci.apk and nfcnci.odex (if the file exists) depnending upon if your rom is odex or deodex just in case the mod does not work.

Now for the Mod

Lockscreen What this does is allows you to use nfc when the screen is on and in a locked status.

Screen Off Allows the use of NFC when the screen is off.

By default NFC only works when the phone screen is on and unlocked. (Suspect always had problem on this one as previously stated)

any feedback appreciated.

Remember to backup before flashing. for that just it case situation.

Enjoy Optimal

p.s. remember people that leaving the NFC on all the time can leave you phone open to security breaches. so please be careful when using this mod.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] DJsCrIBbLe:
I can report that screen off mod works. Going to try lockscreen next. Dont know how i feel about NFC being on when screen is off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] OptimalKiller:
thanks [MENTION=4509718]DJsCrIBbLe[/MENTION] for testing. In terms of screen off version it will be a security risk, However a number of users have requested it. I suppose they will just need to ensure they take all relevant security precautions. and protection of there phone

Because NFC can be breached and could cause all sorts of issues and hacks.

anyway thanks for testing its much appreciated.

I want to install a new ROM and/or use the current one WITH Google Wallet, but I can access it. Do you have a "revert to stock" version of the NFC mod for the i337?

Can anyone send me a copy of the two original files for the i337 nfcnci.odex and nfcnci.apk and tell me how I revert back?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Aou:
The mod involves the following things:

Install Xposed Mod

Install Wallet Xposed module (hides root and phone model from Wallet's built-in search) and enable the module

Edit /system/build.prop to fool Wallet into thinking it's a Galaxy Nexus

Stop the system

Replace /system/app/NfcNci.apk

(Remove /system/app/NfcNci.odex)

Replace /system/app/NfcTest.apk

(Remove /system/app/NfcTest.odex)

Replace /system/etc/nfcee_access.xml

Replace /system/lib/libnfc-nci.so

Replace /system/lib/libnfc_nci_jni.so

Replace /system/lib/hw/nfc_nci.MSM8960.so

Clear dalvik cache

Reboot

Setup Google Wallet as you would normally. Get it completely initialized.

Restore build.prop to normal settings

Reboot

The original post includes two different methods of doing this, and I think both involve flashing a zip file from recovery. I don't like flashing zips like that, so I disassembled it and came up with the procedure above. ^_^
