For those who want to secure a unit now, this promotion is active in-store at Best Buy, at least here in OR.

If you're after a rootable unit and are near the Tanasbourne (Hillsboro, OR) location, check the right-most row of Chromecasts in the TV/Home Theater (not Magnolia) area - that's where I left the stash that I sorted out from the majority of 3As.
[Google Chromecast] SpasilliumNexus:
I just bought a Chromecast two days ago and haven't gotten one. How do you get the promo in-store?
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
It'll ask for your email at checkout. I'm pretty sure it wasn't active on the weekend. I think it went live yesterday (Monday) with the Black Friday preview, or perhaps today (Tuesday).
[Google Chromecast] DJames1:
Pretty weak really. Roku just offered all Roku owners two free movie rentals (up to $12 value) to promote their latest software update.
[Google Chromecast] sandbaky:
very nice
[Google Chromecast] memekmek:
ordered it yesterday off amazon.com, got 2 day freeshipping and got the $6 promo code. zero tax on amazon too.
[Google Chromecast] pandacookie:
I got my Chromecast yesterday and I didn't get the promo code. I got it at Best Buy. Looked all over my sales slip. Nothing. Guess I missed out.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
I don't see it on the site either. It may have only been active for the "Black Friday preview" or it might simply have been a mistake that was since corrected. Sorry.
[Google Chromecast] jsdecker10:
Well, it definitely wasn't a mistake.. and both sites indicated that this particular promo would be running up through December 7th. They must be experiencing some kinda glitch or problem with their system. Maybe "Pre-Black Friday" systems overload...lol
[Google Chromecast] mutant13:
Ordered 4 chromecasts for Christmas gifts from Amazon and got 4 separate $6 credits to my Google play account
[Google Chromecast] Mr. Sprinkles:
Dammit, if I had only waited two more days before buying one...
[Google Chromecast] memekmek:
In all reality, 6 bucks did not go a long ways for me. Their movie selection wasn't that good and it cost me $6 to watch a semi new release in HD. Definitely not worth it unless you have a promo code.

My dear xda-dev friends,

I am so grateful for this community, I have gained so much. I have been a digital artist for years, so as one way of giving back, I have made a set of themes from my digital art. I am offering them exclusively to my friends here. I retain copyrights for all the images, so please respect that, and use only for your own private use, I.e. No sale or redistribution. There are 13 tsk files, so you can have one for each lunar month. :wink: All are less than 200K, but only one is less than 100K. For other Oz-Vga users out there, you need to change themes in SE-Vga for it to look right in Oz-Vga, because otherwise you just get a small image and not the full screen image. (You do see more of the image with Oz-Vga by the way.) I hope these may add to someone else's enjoyment of their Universal. I use them myself of course. I also invite you to check out my website to see more of my art: www.shivafool.com

Cheers !! :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] argh2000:

screenshots

I have some screenshots that I wanted to post, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. I saw that some folks did this by putting their picture files in http://xdaforums.com/files/

but I don't know how you upload files there so you can link them in your message. Please tell me how, and I'll be happy to post some screenshots here. :)

And now included here is a zip file with 13 screenshots so you can look and choose without loading them all into the precious storage memory. Most show the theme in SEVga, though some may well look better in OzVga.

Ok, so I got a old GS II from a friend to borrow until I can afford the stupid $150 deductible for my stolen N4. I tried flashing a t989 rom on it and everytime it gives me an incompatibility error in the recovery. I727 roms flash though. This phone says t989 in the battery compartment but everything in the system says I727. The rotation is screwed up so I'm pretty sure it's a t989 but I can't get anything for it to flash. Please help.

Try using Odin to flash Hercules stock 4.1.2 with Odin. That should get you back on track. Then flash a Hercules twrp with Odin and root again.

And.... The reason everything days i727 is it has a sky rocket kernel. Usually if using a sky rocket rom... You would flash a t989 kernel after rom.

This 4.3 image worked fine for me as well. I installed twrp and got root access.

After you install twrp, I booted into recovery mode and took a backup. While exiting twrp

to reboot , it asks to install superSU. Say yes. After phone reboots usual rooting process begins.

You may have to download more as part of superSU.

Hi guys.

Since the update to 4.4, which introduced the transparent nav buttons background + status bar, most screen filter (brightness overlay) applications on the market have problem of covering the bottom transparent navigation buttons.

If you have a Nexus 4, Nexus 5 or Nexus 7 with 4.4 and stock launcher or new Nova beta launcher, turn on the filter make them look like this:

So I made my own overlay filter app to fix the bottom nav bar not being covered.

Download: Play Store: Brightness Filter

Changelogs:

v2 2013-11-26

- added opacity control when the app is launched.

- fix bug that sometimes the filter is restarted by Android system.

- remove support for older versions of Android (now support 4.1 and up) --> app is now much smaller in size

v1 2013-11-23

- initial release

Enjoy if this helps you. Tell me if you have any problem.

To support me: Donate to me a few bucks for milk tea :)

Lux works fine. It also removed filter during a screenshot so the image doesn't come out dark.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GRS10:
So, I wanted to update my Allshare Cast dongle through my Note 10.1 today, and I was surprised to see that Google Play say my Note 10.1 was an incompatible device? Whaaaa? I also went to the Samsung App store and the Allshare Cast SW update was missing from there too.

What gives? How can I update my dongle now? Does someone have the latest APK or something? Should I bother Samsung?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PerPer2:
I have the same problem using my Galaxy S4. Any solution?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbogusbaxter:
I myself used to encounter various issues of ACD connectivity with my GNOTE 2/ GNOTE3 & GNOTE 10.1.

I found along the way thru trial and error that the ACD device always seemed to work flawlessly when first booting into a clean / factory reset / stock rom type of environment.

Though upon moving forward with custom hacks, tweaks, etc. it would always knock out all access to using the ACD and or applying dongle updates from the playstore.

Unfortunately, reinstalling a clean apk of ALLCAST just does not work.

The only work around I found that does work (or at least for me) is the following:

*Start off with a clean fresh factory reset (Root/SU is OK)

Before ANYTHING, connect wireless to your ACD. Make sure you are up and running with full connectivity.

Immediately after...Literally, use Titanium Backup to backup your entire system apks (specifically Allcast.apk)

Then proceed to custom tweaks, etc.. This way you always have a working backup restore of Allcast.

Somewhere along the way you are bound to get hit with connectivity issues. I am not sure why or what causes this but I can assure the TBackup always works to reinstate working status.

Hope this helps.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bustem:
Thx I was waiting for this! This was a problem for me even b4 4.4 because of the ips display the black navbar was very bright. And always applying a new color profile with Francos FKU was annoying

Idk how much the power toggles app turns down the brightness but at night in bed at 3 am its still to bright for me :>

All the way, almost screen off lol.. Its a good app. It can be added to notification drawer for easy access.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bustem:
Just tested and the actuall buttons are still bright but the navbar is dark:thumbup: i think this is rom related or would need root?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 1slow4G:
Go into preferences>toggle settings>brightness, add custom level of brightness, I believe lowest setting is 1(0%) still visible.

I just tried it and I'm missing something, I swear there was a setting for pitch black screen, I'll look into it in a bit. Unless they removed that option on recent update.

---------- Post added at 05:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 AM ----------

Yeah for some reason that option is not there anymore.

I just tried your app and it's great! Super dark!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mailboy1412:
The nav buttons can't be dimmed by the system overlay.

And yes, changing the navigation buttons requires root.

Some roms allow you to modify the navigation buttons like: Cataclysm allows you to fade nav buttons, and I think AOKP, Cyanogen allow you to change the color of nav buttons.

Would you consider making implementing a Tasker plugin, so we can start the app with a given opacity setting? Maybe also with a way to turn off the app via the Task plugin too? I found that very useful with Screen Filter, since I only had it on during certain hours.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] powerdoesntrun:
Tasker plugin or no, just being able to start the app at a given opacity without the slider showing up would be great.
