Thanks for that. Now I know the process I can try to get better results with a custom kernel.

Lastly, are you running your T889V on Videotron? If so, have you updated your phone with the new stock firmware (T889VVLUDNH2) from Samsung? The T889VVLUDNH2 appears to be a modem only update for T889V, but I can't be sure as I have not found any official change log by Samsung.

In any case, I was wondering if the update enabled any LTE bands (specifically LTE Band 4 - the AWS LTE Band) on the T889V. The update seems to coincide with the LTE network that Videotron launched last month (Sept 2014).

Are you getting LTE speeds on your T889V?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] subaron:
I have tried CM11 and Omni 4.4.4 roms and it appears that the phone loses:

1) its model number (no big deal),

2) carrier id just shows US (would be useful to have real operator for roaming),

3) and lastly, does not show the type of data network it is connected to. Just shows bars, no E, 3G etc. Also, it show LTE in network options, but not WCDMA/GSM, since the phone does not have LTE. I would like too see the network I am connected to.

Any help would be much appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] wavv.drama:
The only think I can think of is that since you're no longer running TouchWIz but AOSP, the Kernel might have compatibility issues. From what I read before when I was using this phone as my daily driver, this kernel was meant for TW roms, but since CM and Omni are AOSP, I figure some things might not be compatible. If I'm not mistaken, the creator of the kernel has a version called pure AOSP rather than this version, which is pure stock.

Hope it helps!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] subaron:
Thanks. Is there a ROM/Kernel combination you would recommend as a daily driver for the T889v.

I would want the following:

1) Decent battery life compared to stock. On stock I lose about 2.5% an hour by just being on standby. And with use I lose about 1% every 2 mins of screen time (for example when reading news in chrome browser at lowest brightness.)

2) Is responsive. The stock rom is starting to become really laggy (despite me having uninstalled a lot of apps). I know a lot of the budget phones like the Moto G2, which have less ram be much more responsive.

3) It would be nice if it shows the type of data network I am connected to HSPA+, 3G, Edge etc

4) Lastly, would be nice if it actually displays the carrier I am connected to, instead of displaying US.

Also, would points 3 and 4 be resolved if I removed boot.img from the ROM package? I have read that somewhere, but was not an authoritative source and don't want to brick the phone. It is still my daily driver, and would like to avoid bricking it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] wavv.drama:
Well, as for past experiences, what I used to run on the phone when I was on AOSP was Omni.. I really liked the battery life, it run for about two days with regular browsing, email checking, phone using, texting, youtube video playing, etc. If you decide to flash Omni, what I would suggest would be to run the kernel that comes with it. Normally, the Rom will come with it's own kernel manager (I believe they either use PAC kernel, Linaro or a CM based kernel), but it will work fine. The only thing that drove me off of Omni was that there was an issue with Netflix, but there's a patch running around in the forums and also in the Xposed framework. As per the ROM showing either 4G or LTE of HDPA+, at the time we didn't have in LTE with the phone, but I could see HSPA+ just fine.

If I can recommend something, is to clean install whichever ROM u decide to flash, and use the minimal GAPPS. Also, when you restore your apps (if you use something like TiBu) never restore system apps, just user apps.

Let me know what you end up doing and how it works for you!
[Sprint LG G2] BIGDADDY786:
Okay guys, this may seem like a total noob question to a lot of you, but how do I flash my LG G2?

I know it's nooby but you know when you've not done any flashing or upgrading for the last 4+ years - things change, and in the mobile world they change pretty fast!

I mean I can get to the flashing stage (recovery mode + lg flash tool + kdz file), but I'm unsure which files I need.

So what I have:

LG G2 LS980 Sprint 32GB (bad esn) - purchased off ebay to use in the UK.

So here I am with an LG G2 which turns on great, works, but when I put my sim card in, it doesn't do anything whatsoever.

So can anyone help? Links and instructions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance :)

Help.. I'm updating my ROM to kitkat..I'm following the procedure.. After install..my phone will stuck at philz recovery.. My phone is not rooted.. And the silly mistake is I don't create a backup.. Plz help me.. How do I return to stock ROM?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gooberdude:
go into philz recovery and do a wipe and format partition. shut down or if available boot to stock uploader.

Go into stock loader by holding down down volume and power after the tablet is turned off.

Start Odin 3.07 and load the proper 4.2.2 firmware for your model and region.

Once you install and boot do a firmware update by going into system about device and update.

Once you boot to 4.4.2 do a factory reset to finalize.

That is the easiest and best method I know, and it should work just fine for you.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Azdiela azrul:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] BRad Barnett:
Ok, here's my beef. Since I moved from my Treo 600 to the Hermes, I can't read my e-books in the dark any more. The backlight is extremely bright.. way too bright, to read in the dark.

After all, have you ever tried to read writing on a flashlight lens, when it is on?

So, here's the thing. Does anyone think that it is possible to dim the light more than WM5 states? If you do, and you are a programmer, I'm willing to pay to have this work done. I'm not sure what someone would ask for this, or if it is even possible, so...

What say you?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] adamcullen:
Backlight setting

Hi,

Go to Settings -> System and click on "Backlight".

You should be able to reduce the intensity for both "On Battery Power" and "On External Power" down to a very low level.

Cheers
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] BRad Barnett:
Uh, no. ;) I guess I didn't make myself clear enough, but I want to dim the backlight _MORE_ than WM5 states it allows.

The lowest setting is not dim at all, not in the dark. Heck, in a house with all the lights on, it doesn't seem even remotely dim. Reading, at night, with the lights off?

It's like a freakin' lighthouse light. ;)

Anyhow, again, I'm willing to pay to have this created for me. Further, I'm not asking for any rights to the created works, so anyone would be free to sell it.

I haven't seen a lot of people out there complaining, but I have seen lots of people out there complaining, that read in bed. There is a market, it's just small.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] spastico:
I would agree w/ the backlight being too bright for night reading.

I wouldn't mind a broader range of dim and bright.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] be02658:
dude, I hear you... I sometimes read at night with all the lights off and my wife trying to get some rest on my left whilst my dopod 838pro gives off a 1000 candle powered light that illuminates the street outside the window whilst searing my eyeballs...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ionide:
As a stop-gap, you could try reading white text on a black background.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] BRad Barnett:
I tried that, and it helps.. a bit. However, the real problem is the massively bright backlight, not the brightness of the white background. Heck, I even tried a dark grey text, and moved Mobipocket to full screen mode, to get rid of everything else that wasn't "dark".

Still very annoying and hard on the eyes, to the point that reading isn't even viable any more. I'm still staring into an extremely bright flashlight while reading... :/

Well... I only have this issue when viewing porn. It does not really bother me but I would like to help.

If I recall Vjay555 (or something like that) has the app that brightens the screen by using the same thing opening the camera does to brighten the screen. I have to imagine that there is a way to dim the screen.

So I am totally useless to helping with this as I am too busy with work, and porn. But I thought I could point you guys in the right direction.

Later, Lew

P.S. I was just joking about the porn, but not really. ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] BRad Barnett:
dsdsds

Yes, well, I am sure there is a way to dim the screen. Unfortunately, the app you mention only turns on "camera mode" super bright, so it doesn't really directly access the brightness controls. :/

Too bad, really.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lewcamino:
Your not thinking outside the box. You see if you can raise the brightness beyond that of WM5 settings, chances are you can lower them below WM5 settings. There may be some API info in that brightness app that can give you a clue as to how to set a brightness to any level you please.

However, if you think that there is no way to do it... give up. Wish I had the time to help.

Later, Lew
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] BRad Barnett:
I'm going to get a little rude here, but only because you've effectively done so yourself.

First, you aren't even reading my posts.. and this is generally a requirement for communication. I clearly and quite plainly stated that I am sure there is a way to dim the screen. I have no idea how you could miss that in my last post, and then get upset over this missed data.

Heck, my entire thread is about hiring someone to do PRECISELY what you think is "thinking outside the box"... that is, coding a solution to get around the standard WinCE brightness preferences. I don't have a WinCE devel kit, I don't want a WinCE devel kit, I am busy enough developing in other areas. This post is ABOUT HIRING SOMEONE to code this app.

Lastly, the app you mentioned does absolutely nothing that is helpful. It turns on the camera "super bright" mode. It does not adjust the brightness directly.

While I appreciate your interest in helping, I sure as hell don't appreciate you not paying attention. Please do, your help would actually be a benefit, and not a liability, if you did.

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lewcamino:
Please tell me how knowing that the camera app can adjust the brightness is not helpful... Also since it does so it would be foolish to think that it could not be made to do the inverse. If your too busy to code what you want, then why would someone else make the time for it? If you want to hire someone, www.monster.com

I you don't want general input that is well meant and intended to lead you to the person that can help, go find different forums where people are not so nice.

Later, Lew
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] BRad Barnett:
The camera app can not do the inverse. The camera app puts the Hermes screen into "super brightness" mode. The app in question simply turns this mode on.

I would indeed be foolish to think that the camera app can dim the screen.

If you actually read my posts, you would see that I offered to pay for this app. Are you suggesting that it is wrong to try to hire a programmer from here? Do you think it odd that people wouid take money to code something?

Again, actually reading my posts is important, if you want to respond to them and not sound like a moron.

Your first post was well meant, perhaps. When I informed you that, unfortunately, the app in question would not help in my quest, you became belligerent and rude.

That is not helpful, and that is not nice.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gtmaniak:
It would be nice for there to be a few more bits of range in the brightness between off and the standard 1st level of brightness.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lewcamino:
Are you serious?!

Your right... telling you about a guy on the forums that writes programs all the time, and seams like he has time to do so is "soooo ignorant of your original post".

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] aquasesh:
The problem is that the backlight is controlled by a registry key in steps from

"0" to "10". "0" being pitch black. Now, the stupid thing is that there is nothing in between "0" and "1"..."1" the lowest visible setting of the backlight is already quiet bright...

unfortunately all tools written to control the backlight, simply use those registry settings. You can change them manually, and the effect will be immediate after closing the registry editor.

Maybe a darker glare filter would help, since i dont know of a work-around this registry problem

you can find it in the registry under

HCU\ControlPanel\BackLight\Brightness
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] BRad Barnett:
I already have a glare filter, and it's still too bright. :/ I've looked around a bit, but there doesn't seem to be anything darker out there. :/

Another way is of course to make changes on the hardware side. Or you can wait until WM Crossbow appears (maybe here) and see if they changed the backlight management. (someone knows something about this?)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Red Monkey:
I am new to Pocket PC 's backlighting but I have had some experience from buildlng a carPC with a 1000+ nit bacKlight. There is a minimum voltage nesassary to ignite the gas In the backlight that is why It Can only be dimmed so much. I can't say for sure as I do not know how wm5 is talking to the hardware. Sorry if this is sloppy, I am writting it with transcribber.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
The brightness change is not always following reg changes. You still need to set the named "BackLightChangeEvent" event to make the driver read the new values. As far as making the backlight have a different scale, I do not think that is going to happen. This device dose not use a value named "MAXBrightnessScale" so it is probably hard coded to only use 0-10. There are other formats for the registry values and other named events that are not all known but this device dose not appear to be one. I still use my old today pluggin ORDtoday for changing screen brightness and the old code works 100% with this device.

The dopod is using "Brightness" as the only value needed to change the brightness. The annoying thing with these registry values is that they are different in most devices. eg "Brightness" is not the same as "brightness" etc.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ionide:
I don't think they use CCFL's in mobile phones, they are not efficient enough. Mobile phone backlighting is usually LED's.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] aquasesh:
where do you have 'BacklightChangeEvent'. i cannot find it. as soon as i change the entry 'Brightness' it works.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
It may work on your device but on many devices it will have no effect until you open a handle to an event with that name and set it. It is an auto reset so you just close the handle after doing it. There are several devices where the driver writer (oem) has not used the standard event name to intitate a read of registry. I own a toshiba where this is so and some dell's have the same problem. With these devices it is not possible to force the new values to be used without opening the control panel to trigger the unknown named event.

(just to be clear to non programmers, this is not reffering to a resistry value but to a mechanism that programs use to wait for things to happen ie an event. You can't use the event unless you code it.)

I noticed that the 750 has a broader range of dim to bright.

It would be nice to be able to get the 8525 to the level of dim that the 750 can do.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Chatty:
I think I can shed some light on this.

I did something similar for my still current device, the Magician. I had a look at VJLumos which loads some camera related stuff, which makes WinCE setting 1-10 like something 4 to 13 (0=off is still the same). I wanted to save some memory and developed a program which talks to the backlight hardware directly.

During this I found out that WinCE only uses a subset of all possible values. Which of them chose the manufacturer (=HTC). So besides super brightness there is a slightly darker mode possible than WinCE level 1. BUT: The backlight level is reset every now and then (resume from standby, tap on screen, ...). I still haven't found the time to develop this any further.

Since I now own a Hermes myself I am already interested in doing the same here. But hey... who can afford to work for free? ;-)

Simple question. When the boot loader is released can I run Android 4.4 as my main and have the Amazon Mojito OS as a Rom. I ask because I was'n't sure if two different versions of android could run on the same device. I say this because you cannot run two versions of Mojito with safestrap.

My issue is I bought GTA SA from the Amazon app store and it only works with that stock OS. And regardless of the ability to install the kindle app on your android device that version sucks. I have to manually search through all my highlights to find my bookmarks. IDK Amazon has not added full functionality to the app.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caffeinetripp:
I've read as many posts on this problem from the S3 through the S5 and have still not come up with a solution to the problem that's plaguing my S3. There are a lot of different hypothesis across the internet about the cause of this problem. I'll give the details with my personal experience.

As a side note, there is a possibility I could have flashed something wrong or rooted something wrong, but, given every other application works with no force closes on anything, I'll assume that everything was rooted and flashed correctly.

I've tried a couple of different ROMs after rooting the SGS3, but have stuck with Wicked. Unfortunately, I did not try out the camera until I came across Wicked, which is where the problem presented itself. This does not mean that it's Wicked itself, but possibly a problem further along than that.

Here's the specs on the phone.

I went from a fully updated software version on the T-Mobile USA Samsung Galaxy S3 non-LTE to

Android 4.1.1

Baseband T999 UVUEMJC

Kernel 3.0.65 Deviant

Build Wicked V10

I've tried the normal Force Stop Camera then clear Cache, cleared Davlik, tried other cameras, Factory Reset twice, reloaded ROM, and will flash new baseband (4.1's) My guess is that's the problem, possibly.

I've checked hardware as well from tightening screws, covering the camera, and removing the rear camera and plugging it back in; no change. As well as testing the hardware via *#0*#. The front camera works, rear/Mega does not. Which leads me to believing it's a software issue and not a hardware issue.
