Hi,

I tried to enable cleartype in landscape changing the HKLM\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings\OffOnRotation registry value to 0.

After a soft reset it works, it keeps cleartype enabled also in landscape mode...but when I soft reset again it rollbacks my setting to 1, disabling it in landscape.

This happened also on BlueAngel...I think it's a common behavior of HTC devices, because on my Motorola MPx I changed such value one time and it always worked across many soft resets...

Any idea?

Thanks!

1) wrong forum, this is tytn upgrading and your post is not related to upgrading.

2) search before posting, this has already been asked:

Dear nicolochi,

The registry modification worked well on my HTC Blackstone. After a few power off and on, cleartype is still activated both in portrait and landscape.

i am really confused which one to buy. as i am from note 3, it is normal for me to go for s5. but i got some negative comment about s5. phone bezel is wide, front camera is 2mp when others are going for 5mp front(like oppo find 7a and htc one m8). but still i have a weak spot for samsung. so please suggest me honestly. i will see this post everday. In Shaa Allah this monday i will buy anyone based upon your suggestion.

s5 white is 2039rm where s5 black is 2080rm

htc one m8 is 2199 rm

z2 is 2499rm(why so expensive la?)

i previously used many set. if you need to do anything with that here is a short list of them for past 2 years(s2, s3, s4, note 2, note 3, xperia z, htc one x, nokia lumia 920, lenevo a880, lenevo s930, iphone 4s, 5 etc, cant remember all).

The phone has heating problem. When i download from play store, it become so hot in the camera area. Other function cool. When i look from the 170 degree, suddenly there is a greenish color shift. I think may be factory default screen protector. Also color rendering is not accurate. As i used iphone and lenevo. I saw almost same color rendering on those two ips display. Which i think is accurate. But in s5 the color is totally different of that thing. I think may be cause of adapt display. The display a bit yellowish. I think cause of the factory defailt screen protector.

With Cinema display setting it's quite good. Much better than Standard if you like accuracy rather than oversaturation.

Mine G900F has a heating problem when used actively for updates and downloads probably is something related to the CPU usage. But in normal day to day usage is with good working temperatures. However I would check other phones as well and if I owned a Note 3 I wouldn`t change it as the Note 3 is amazing phone i even think it`s better then the S5 or very close.

[Samsung Galaxy Star] corphish:
Requirements:

1. A rooted Samsung Galaxy Star.

2. CWM version 6.

Steps:

1. Install Xperia Pirates ROM. For help go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2748747. 80% of job done. Now its time to do small things that really matter.

2. You can install stock Sony Apps (like a Normal apk). Unfortunately I could not make stock phone and messaging app on our phone. Apps are included in attachments.

3. Although the ROM themes the elements, the progress bar is not that Xperia like, so install Smooth system progressbar (Xposed Module).

4. The Lockscreen Remains unchanged, install Xperia lockscreen from this post, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2687654.

5. What's still missing is the bootanimation, unfortunately I could not find Xperia bootanimation, if you find it, please comment with the link :o

Some instructions to make the ROM more meaningful and beautiful

1. Change android version to 4.4, because by default it comes with 4.4.2 xperia pirates, but on launching the easter egg, you find 4.4. You can change it by editing build.prop.

2. Keep the font size of the home screen and app drawer at 13.9. you can change it in launcher settings.

3. You can use seeder to reduce lag.

If I have helped, click thanks :laugh:

[Shield General] rushless:
First of all, surprised nobody posted about this yet considering the NV is a game centric device :cyclops:

Anybody play these on the Shield yet? Both games due to some puzzles and objects that need locating, found and/or shot in some levels seem more suited for larger displays (especially HL2). That and the 2.1GB plus user data that is installed also killed the urge for me- and that is just for HL2. I only have 2GB on mine as is and need about 1GB free for Android to behave nicely.

More the reason this device needs at least 32GB internal and a bit bigger display to help with PC res oriented games.
[Shield General] ugoff:
I've tried Portal. You're not missing anything. Same game, 5" screen, 30 or less FPS, dual analog controls. Nothing to see here.
[Shield General] UNCUT88RAW:
The new Tegrazone usually highlights new games so theres no need to post games unless you want to talk about them. :)

Hm, if you want a bigger screen then you could play these games A) on PC or B) big tablet + gamecontroller. But B) is not an option for now since it´s Shield exclusive for now. A 5 inch display isn´t a deal breaker for me.

Yes, these games are big in size but with a 64GB microSD Card and FolderMount (Root required) this isn´t a problem for me. And I have a lot installed!

I think its not bad to play Half Life 2 and Portal on Shield. Both are classic titles who add something special to the library of Shield Games.There are far superior versions (PC, Xbox 360) of these 2 games but if you want to play them outside without internet connection, there is no other way (except playing on a Notebook but who carries this bulky thing to play?!).

But hey everyone has a different taste, so... :D

Anyway, this thread should be in Themes and Apps Section, since it´s obviously an App discussion .
[Shield General] rushless:
Can Half Life be moved with to sd with the built in app move function? Some can and some can't.
[Shield General] bluecarbon:
Yeah, you can move half life 2.
[Shield General] SirataXero:
I've been trying for the past two days straight. Including wiping my entire SD card and internal memory and downloading the game from scratch. I just can't get either HL or Portal to launch after transferring to SD.

Sometimes I get a black screen, sometimes stuck on Loading, and sometimes the game just disappears from my apps list and I get the Install option again from the Play Store.

I'm not sure why, but I can't get anything to work after moving to SD. All other games that support it work perfectly fine...
[Shield General] rushless:
So it can be moved, but not work. Hollow victory until Nvidia and/or the dev fix it. Most people that own the Shield are likely not wanting to put such a big game on the already challenged internal storage.

Hoping the Shield 2 has a 32GB option.
[Shield General] jfrancis999:
Works for me on an external card, but the load times are annoying.
[Shield General] psycho1200:
What sd card are you using ?, maybe if you use a better sd card you will have a better experience, i will test it on the night using my 64gb sd card to see the speed of the game.
[Shield General] hexitnow:
Ive played hl2 on the shield and then also on my 52 inch tv and it worked great. The smaller display doesnt really diminish the value of fps games, they play really well. Oh same goes for L4D2, both source games.
[Shield General] L1qu1d:
Do either of these games do 60 fps?
[Shield General] bluecarbon:
Works well on my external, also.
[Shield General] hexitnow:
Most people cant tell the difference between 60 and 30 fps. Yes you can run them at 60 fps however i set mine to max out at 30. Less lag in my opinion.
[Shield General] KingpinZero:
? lol.

Theres no way to cap or unlock framerate on shield. Also is not possible to not see 30fps vs 60fps difference.

Anyway, back to the original question, no it doesnt. Sometimes is above 40-45fps, but mostly around 30 fps. Portal is mostly stable around 30, solid id say.
[Shield General] nex86:
Of course you can lol.

Just stand still and move the camera, you can clearly see some judder at 30fps but it's not that bad though cuz of the small screen.

Personally, I can't play games under 40fps on a bigger screen with >20", it's just a pain in the ass.
[Shield General] KingpinZero:
You got it wrong mate. I said it's not possible to not notice the huge difference between 30 and 60 fps.

Since someone said that is basically the same. Which is wrong on thousands of levels.

Read my post carefully.

[Shield General] hexitnow:
I

Rofl. Yes you can. Who said 30 and 60 are basically the same? I also stand by the fact MOST people cant tell the difference between 30 and 60 fps.

With my setup Running at 30 fps seems to be more consistent because when im running 60 and i have a framerate drop ill see the stutter. Running at 30 fps it doesnt seem to stutter. But thats my system and im streaming from a laptop.
[Shield General] nex86:
Yes sorry I read that one wrong, you could've said, "It's possible to see a difference" makes it a lot easier to read xD

Still, it's not "lagging" so we can say it runs pretty much playable, even better than on the PC I played the game on in 2004.
[Shield General] nex86:
looking at the lib files makes me think these games run on a gles to dx9 wrapper.
[Shield General] rushless:
For perspective though, the game still runs better with low settings than it did on a lot of PCs when it came out. On a five inch display, I do not notice graphics differences from a PC with a much larger display. No harm no foul.

I do notice the 2.1GB of storage hit, but is what it is. Seems this device should be 32GB rather than 16GB. At least offer both as an option. I would guess the 32GB would sell more, since a game-centric device.
[Shield General] pkerry12:
valve games

I have a 32gb nvidia shield Tablet for me I just keep all the Valve games and trine 2 on internal storage and move all the android games over to micro SD card like GTA, game loft games etc.

main reason unless you have a sd card that runs at 80MBps or more read and about 50MBps write you will have issues with running any of those games on micro sd card.

I find it stupid that they even include a micro sd card slot with out make there K1 specific games movable to Micro sd ccard out of the box.

I guess they expect you to not install games on micro SD card just music movies and photos.
[Shield General] pmsoft:
I own a Mipad which is on the same plattform as the shield tablet. In the past I modified the build prop to let my Mipad look like a shield tablet and bough Half Life on the playstore. Now I cannot download it again, says incompatible. Is the game still compatible with the shield tablet? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] louiscar:
I just bought a monitor with MHL. This came with an MHL lead Micro usb > HDMI plug so eager to try it I got nothing on the Note 3.

Testing this with my HTC Sensation the lead alone worked perfectly so I did a bit of research and figured that all I should need is a pin converter 5 - 11 pin and I should be fine.

I This

When that duly arrived, it still didn't work. What I noticed when using this though was :

1) The Samsung pops up a message "HDMI connected" when the monitor is on.

2) The monitor scans and doesn't tell me there is no signal - It sits there with a black screen when the note 3 is connected.

3) The Samsung loses it's sound (on the device) but nothing comes through on the monitor (not used the monitor speakers yet so I might no have this set up)

4) The Samsung shows that it is being charged.

Further research seems to come up with conflicting results. Some people say you MUST have one of those adaptors with external power, but others swear their adaptors work fine without it because the Note 3 is MHL 2.0 and only needs it for battery charging.

So I am a bit confused and hope some folks here can shed some light on this matter. My HTC sensation works perfectly with just the lead, I find it hard to believe the |Note 3 won't even when the pin outs are correct and the monitor is clearly supplying power to the device.

Any help appreciated, I don't want to buy an older mhl 1.0 adaptor with power or an expensive 2.0 adaptor if it's not necessary and I do want to hear from anyone that has an adaptor that doesn't require power.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ingenious247:
I've never owned one Samsung phone, even when using an official (powered) MHL adapter, that worked well enough to even be worth having the adapter.

I don't know if the Note 3 requires it or not, but I wouldn't even bother with it tbh.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
My Samsung MHL 2.0 cable does NOT require a power input with the Note 3 (I still use one anyway). AFAIK you still need a charging input if the cable is MHL 1.0, regardless of what spec the phone has.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] louiscar:
Thanks - I take it you are talking of the official one (which came out before the note 3)?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Correct.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] louiscar:
Thanks, it's curious then why my mhl lead with 5 - 11pin adaptor doesn't work directly unless there's some magic in the Samsung unit.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] louiscar:
I seem to be clearing the fog on this issue a little but I'm still confused.

It appears that what Samsung provide is and MHL > HDMI adaptor. HDMI and MHL are different ... in some way.

However, when a monitor supports HML directly this shouldn't be necessary at all. As my monitor came with this feature and supplied an MHL cable albeit the 5 pin my take on this is that fitting a 5 > 11 pin converter should be all that I need. Some appear to have used passive MHL cables with success :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2483054&page=3

But I'd still like any more expert opinions on whether I'm on the right track or not. If I am then I might assume the chinese adaptor I bought is defective in some way.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] SAVVAS.:
I don't know what happened but I bought this one and I am surprised! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-O...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item486423fdfe This was suggested in another thread from many users however it was noted that it requires power A/C to work! To my big surprise,the one that I got it works without plugging any power source and not only that but it managed to load my external usb other than hdmi :D

Those are my first results after 10 minutes of testing it! Didn't have any long term session with it in order to check if it is stable or errorfree!

Because I know some users may doubt it, here is a picture showing what I said !https://db.tt/Gsum0lyU
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] louiscar:
Thanks for the heads up. Can you tell me if you were plugging this into an MHL compliant monitor or was it just one that had HDMI?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] SAVVAS.:
I think No as the TV is quite old and from my usage I didn't see any signs of MHL. But I will test it again in my other TV which is much newer to see if it still works without external power! I Will post my findings on this thread in the near future ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] SAVVAS.:
It seems that it works pretty fine also in my other (newer) TV without any power source!

Hi guys,

I have recently bought the HTC m8 and I have some question you might be able to answer..

- unlock bootloader

-boot into recovery then nandroid backup with recovery.img

And then flashing the stock recovery back and I will have root and ota...right?

That was easy thank you :

- Unlocked

- Then booted into Phil'S Touch recovery

- Nandroid backup (with recovery)

- Install SU binary

- S-OFF with firewater and thats it.

I kept everything stock, so in theory I will be able to get ota's but of course after every update Root has to be "installed" again. and booting into custom recovery will be also needed.
