Im using the Screen Adjuster app but for some reason it changes colours/contrast for everything besides the navigation bar (looks more noticeable when contrast is changed).

Im using Madhi Rom, so not sure if it's the rom or the app. Anyone else have this problem?
[G Pad 8.3 General] RaiderWill:
Not so long ago.. I used to feel just like you about the LG G-Pad 8.3.. :cool:

I know it's been a few months since you commented... even so, This photo SHOCKED ME into Crystal Clear Reality...

I knew our G-Pad's screen was not the best when it came to brightness.. but this picture Forces one to Face the Truth...

And Yes.. the G-Pad's brightness is set to 100%..

Ouch..

For Me, it's time to Re-Think the equation. :cool:
[G Pad 8.3 General] Divine_Madcat:
I have cleaned the thread guys.. This is not about Samsung, Asus, or any other tablet. This thread is about improving the tab you own.. if you don't own it, move on please...
[G Pad 8.3 General] jvidia:
Do you know if the latest batch of G Pad's still have the dim screen problem?

Do you know if LG is going to do something to correct/upgrade the screen quality of their G Pad ?

If this problem was eliminated I might buy one.

For me image quality if more important than the rest of the specs.

Maybe it's time for the G Pad 2 to be released :D
[G Pad 8.3 General] idaboes:
I own both a galaxy tab 2 7.7 and as of yesterday a g tab 8.3.

Lg has not solved this problem. I love the g tab, it runs flawlessly, but brightness is a huge problem with this tablet.

When i hold my two tabs side by side, the brightness levels are a majo4 difference.

I use my tablet in my car as a radio, and during the daytime it is very difficult to see the tab to opperate it properly.

But my galaxy also has a screen issue, screen burn in. The amoleds are going bad and i have the clock and apps constanly burned into the screen.

Since the g tab uses lcd tech instead of amoleds, at least i shouldnt have the burn in issue, because the is very annoying and a big distraction especially while reading on a white screen.

Really wish i could work out the brightness issue.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Zeljko1234:
Check leaked 4.4.2. Seems that LG has improved screen quality, brightness, contrast, whatever :)
[G Pad 8.3 General] Motawa88:
so, the brightness is fixed with 4.4.2?
[G Pad 8.3 General] Zeljko1234:
In the first leak, ending with 18, is fixed. Latest official, ending with 20, "corrected" it back :D

Solution, use first. Works fine. Or latest with kernel from 18.
[G Pad 8.3 General] spsantos:
I

I have official 4.4.2 installed (V20), how can i change only to the kernel of 18 and not change the V20?

Thanks
[G Pad 8.3 General] Zeljko1234:
Replace boot.img in 20 with one from 18 in flashable zip and flash. Or just fastboot flash boot boot.img.

LG gpad brightness

Just bought my gpad and after reading this thread I decided to play with the device a bit. LG is not stupid I thought. Why cripple a perfectly good device with such a glaring flaw. Turns out my screen, which appeared dark, is fine. Set your auto brightness on, the slider still works and appears to adjust gamma. On other Android devices once you set auto brightness on it disables the brightness slider. This must be a feature rather than flaw given my assumption above. I don't think they are dumb dumbs.
[G Pad 8.3 General] ruxandy:
That's totally untrue. Gamma stays the same: 2.0 - 2.1. The only thing that this does is override the auto brightness feature.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Brianetta:
I have my brightness on auto, which I liked, but it was still a tad too bright for me. Luckily, after the update, I discovered "Screen Shades" in the accessibility options, which makes the screen a little darker, while still adjusting for ambient light. I love it!
[G Pad 8.3 General] Canadoc:
New kernel out that has higher gamma.
[G Pad 8.3 General] meanoc:

Hi sorry to be so late on this but after I installed this (screen adjuster) AVG put out that it was considered to be malware ? Any thoughts ?
[G Pad 8.3 General] lex3016:
Hi, I am new to this and I really am interested in getting a LG pad. But my issue is also brightness which is really poor. So you wrote this new firmware fixes this issue? Can it be compared to Nexus 7 (2013) for example which really has a great and bright display after this improvement? Is it hard to install this update?

thx!
[G Pad 8.3 General] Zeljko1234:
With AIC kernel gamma is improved, saturation could be better but quality is just fine for watching videos, reading, gaming, etc.
[G Pad 8.3 General] ASW1:
It doesn't fix the brightness.

If brightness is what you want, get the nexus.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] students:
Hi, I'm running stock Android 4.4 on a Nexus 5.

Does anyone know how to delete an email account listed under Corporate in Settings / Accounts. I deleted two Hotmail accounts by clicking > Settings > IMAP > *click on account* > Settings > Remove Account. However, both Hotmail accounts are still showing in the Calendar and Email apps. I was trying to uninstall my Hotmail accounts and reinstall them again as my Hotmail calendars were showing duplicate entries in the calendar app. Now it seems they are uninstallable / unremovable?!!!

Please help!

PROBLEM SOLVED

EDIT: I rebooted my phone and checked the sync boxes under Settings > Corporate > *account* and the Remove Account option showed up under the Settings Dots. God. What a palava. Why do those boxes have to be ticked to have the Remove Account option showing?!

Does WAKE_DROPPED mean anything?

What's odd is that many of the keylayout .kl files already have VOLUME_UP WAKE already...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] crisp714:
So a common trend (which I welcome really) in AOSP builds is the addition of a dark mode. If you aren't aware of what this is, it changes the backgrounds of certain apps to black, so things like the increasingly bright google apps have a black background now to make it easy on the eyes. However there seems to be a problem I'm constantly running into, and its intriguing that I haven't seen 1 post about it, try as I might to find a solution.

There are certain apps that I guess make calls to the same resources as some of androids ui, to get their rules about what to do with color, except those apps were not made with black backgrounds in mind, as shown by the lack of white or colored text to let you see what the hell you are doing. I guess I would even understand if I just had to turn off the dark mode as thats not that big of a deal. The problem is that these apps STAY THAT WAY. I'm not sure if this happens on TW roms, since they dont have much theming options. I thought maybe it had something to do with my backups, maybe they were carrying something over from other roms, but new apps entirely were suffering the same fate. I've changed the theme with theme changer and that seemed to be sort of solution, except I dont want to have to switch themes just to be able to read an app. The other problem there is that dark themes I've used do the same damned thing in the opposite direction making text and check boxes, unreadable or undetectable, because the devs haven't thought that "hey making things dark probably wont work for every app". Does anyone else experience this issue, and does anyone have some suggestions? Its extremely frustrating.

seriously , in a previous help thread u said its a developer phone. if u have the "not for sale" on the back of the phone , forget it, it wont come back to life so dont keep asking. else u need other drivers for apx. and if the lg support see ur phone then go in C:// where the lg support is and in there u will see the files u need to flash the kdz.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] JoinTheRealms:
Its very likely out device makes use of a sbk, which it uses to encrypt all nvflash communication (nvflash is a nvidia protocal for acessing pre-bootloader states, with tegra devices this is done through apx mode.) Without knowing the sbk we have little hope of accessing nvflash via apx. I dont think it would be impossible to use a nexus 7 / asus tablet method to access nvflash but its a seroius undertaking for even the most skilled of developers.

[Asus Transformer TF700] yugendreams:
I'm getting my tablet Monday and I really don't want to have to flash different roms just to find one that works best.

I prefer Cyanogen stuff, I'm running the nightlies on my Razr Maxx HD, and would like to continue using it on a tablet. HOWEVER, it seems that Cromi has a more developed ROM. Am I wrong? What do you guys think is the best rom and why?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
CROMi-X obviously ;)

Try a few out though - see what you think.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Wait a few weeks and you may not have to decide! sbdags and _that are continuing to work on ROM2SD for CROMi-X! Run his rom on internal and another rom on your microSD. Already works for CROMi-X, miniCROMi-X, but CM is coming - I can feel it :cowboy:

Cromi-x is highly recommended, but on my tablet it did run well at all. I would recommend going with cyan based rom, I run cyan on all my other android devices and i could not get used to the Asus based roms at all.

Currently running CMB even without data2sd like cromi-x had it way smoother and hasn't crashed yet. Plus has all the cyan features i know and love...
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You are the first person to say that so must be something else you did to cause poor performance.

I'd love to get you up and running properly on cromi-x.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
[MENTION=2209848]sjgieson[/MENTION]

His rom, sbdags, is very fast and smooth. I don't know how are we going to accurately measure the speed of the tf700t. According to most of the testers, all the measurement apps are lied and can not be trusted but fast and smooth are even worst because there are no data or numbers associating with the test data to back up the conclusion. Otherwise, we can test them side by side...:) It is just my opinion and don't kill me if I am saying something wrong...;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Wow, thanks for the good explanation...:) What I said was just my opinion, I hope that you are not offended..

Also, there is a trim supported on Cromi X but that would depend on the version of the kernel. You can ask _that or sbdags to help you mount it if it is not currently mounting as an option...

Good luck...:fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sjgieson:
Nope no offense taken! As you had a point :) .
[Asus Transformer TF700] fsured:
The only time I experience a crashing application is with boat browser. I leave the setting for flash set to always on and flash itself isn't a clean application. That is what causes my tablet to force close the app. I've not experienced the rebooting that I did running pure stock Asus firmware either and it otherwise runs perfect.

Maybe try using one of _that's OC kernals. While not as fast as hunds, they are stable and still offer a greater experience than stock. I haven't found needed to use the 1.8ghz performance mode in his kernals and for my needs the balanced setting at 1.3ghz works fine. The extra boost is there if needed.

Speed doesn't mean you will have the best user experience from the tablet. While hardware specs are meant to be the same for all TF700s, each component is different due to the manufacturing process for each tablet assembled. The CPU/components in your tablet may not play nice with hunds kernal.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Anggrian:
Hello and greetings from new user of TF700T.

I have been using this ROM for 3 days and I can say while the performance of cromi-x is not poor, it's not great either. Certainly better than CM11 (tried that before switching to cromi-x), but navigating the entire Android OS still feels sluggish. Not to say my TF700T is always slow, but tapping home button for instance, could take me 2-3 seconds before it starts reacting. When I open any apps, the transition animation is also sluggish, which is worse if I navigate apps from recent apps button. Lastly and the worst, Google Now and Google Now Launcher are very unpleasant to use, freezes on the opening and lags almost on the entire time.

I wonder if this kind of experience normal in TF700T considering the tablet is 2 years old? Or there are some tweaks I missed? I am currently running CROMi-X 5.4 Xenogenesis DEODEX.

For whatever the reason is, I'm still thankful for such a great ROM. It's the guys like you who make Android different and beautiful :)

Hi all, I am fairly new at installing ROMs on devices so this question is quite noob.

But, I recently installed the Beanstalk 4.3 ROM on my Galaxy S3 and was wondering how to update it without wiping out my current apps and data?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shaboobla:
You can occasionally flash the newer version over top of currently installed version (provided it's the same ROM)

Sometimes this will work flawlessly, sometimes you can run into all sorts problems. Most devs will always recommend a full wipe, this ensures any core changes they made will work correctly.

I recommend backing up your apps using a program like Titanium backup, and then restoring them after a fresh install. There is a free version on the playstore that will back up app data.

You can try to flash the new version over the old first to see if works well, but if you run into problems you will need to full wipe and do a fresh flash/install.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] funkygoorilla:
Ah ok, thats exactly what I needed to know. I will do the backup and give it a shot.

[HTC One S] dominolapin:
Hi !

I have been trying to fix my htc one s (s4) for several days now, and i'm stuck.

I tried to update my HBOOT and get back to stock rom by flashing a RUU but I got the wrong one (signature verification fail) but I'm not sure that's what caused the problem.

When I plug my phone in in recovery (TWRP or CWM) an empty disk is detected on my computer but no sd card so i can't format it or load another ROM to be flashed.

I did a factory reset to see if it would fix it but it did not.

I have no ROM left on my phone, no backup available, adb does not work ( each adb command gets me a error:device not found ) and adb devices can't see my phone.

My HTC Drivers are updated.

Fastboot and bootloader, however, still work.

I have tried changing cable.

When I wipe dalvik in TWRP, I get this line among the other ones in the log:

/sd-ext not present, skipping

when i do a factory reset one of the line is

E: unknowv olume for path [/sd-ext]

And sometimes, although I'm not sure what triggers it, I get a bunch of

Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)

My phone is S-ON, H-BOOT is 1.14.0002

I don't know what to try anymore I hope I'm not the owner of a shiny little brick.

Does anyone have any ideas what my fix it ?
