Yea the frist one is for short cuts.

I'm sure soon enough someone will make another panel that will be for custom short cuts.

i have a korean 915k anyone knows how to delete those korean panel ?
[Note Edge Themes and Apps] tospace2006:
The G3 had a secret menu that allowed you to change some build.prop properties or with an editor. You could simply allow dual screen on all apps which isn't allowed stock.

I edited a lot of the G3 environment through build.prop. Is there something similar for Samsung devices? Not sure if it's on all devices or not.
[Note Edge Themes and Apps] invisiblesense:
Not sure about deleting unless you have root access.

I am not rooted yet. I have disabled these panels in my 915S.

The apk you need to disable is 'portalservicewidget' this under the application manager > All.

If you want to disable the useless quick access panel than disable the Live UX apk.
[Note Edge Themes and Apps] _Dennis_:
Build.prop is on all android devices. Also samsung has CSC settings you can change to effect some settings.

[Xperia Z3 General] paddylaz:
Hey guys, so I've been loving my Xperia z3 apart from one problem - the display. I was unhappy with the blue-leaning cold look. What I wanted was a proper, sRGB industry standard, calibrated screen. But I kept failing to get it right.

I've seen a lot of people sharing rgb values for white balance, and the problem with this is having been into a store I've realised that all the displays are a bit different and in some cases require completely different tuning. The only exception of course being that blue should be kept on 0 :)

_______

I've managed to get my display as close to perfect by doing the following. I'm not a professional so I'm not suggesting this is a sort of gold standard or anything. It's making do:

1) Download this picture to your phone and set your brightness to the bottom instructions: http://www.furthertofly.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/brightness_contrast_setting.png

Why? Because after going wrong several times trying to calibrate my display to my macbook, I realized because the brightnesses of panels are different, this can RADICALLY affect how things look as you adjust the sliders.

2) I went into an Apple store and downloaded the above picture onto an IPhone 5c and adjusted the 5c's brightness similarly. Why a 5c? Because every journalist Ive seen on the web (Erica Griffin and Anandtech to name two) both say that the iPhone is the best calibrated display. Hands down. 5c because anandtech say it has the best white balance of any iPhone. (6 is a tiny bit blue/cold apparently)

3) Making sure x-reality and super vivid are off, I downloaded a pure white picture onto both my z3 and 5c and played with the z3's white balance until my phone was nearly perfectly in line with the iphone. Nearly.

Hope this helps someone, I know that sounds a bit OCD and silly to go to that trouble. But my display looks frickin awesome now, and felt this was worth sharing. Yes I know it's a bit amateur-hour....but so what.
[Xperia Z3 General] pezlomd:
Do you mind sharing your settings
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
I think it differs, unit to unit some are bluer than others, my phone is already fairly close to the chart OP put up. So OPs settings may or may not work for you.

Its probably better to calibrate to the chart OP gave, by yourself.
[Xperia Z3 General] paddylaz:
I purposely didn't reveal my settings as the point I was trying to make was that this is where everyone is going wrong. Even to the naked eye, two screens that LOOK comparable actually won't be once you start changing the w/b....

But anyway yeah my final calibration is R:70, G:230, b:0.

I have 20:20 vision (ish) and no colour blindness.

AGAIN, these settings should be absolutely irrelevant to your handset.

It will never be PERFECT because the Xperia uses a blue backlight led as opposed to a white one. So there will always be a little blue favouritism....but my point being you can get to 'almost-perfect' from the out-of-the-box ridiculousness that one finds.

Put it this way, my xperia z3 is now better calibrated than my macbook pro, but not QUITE (maybe 90% as good) as an iPhone 5c.
[Xperia Z3 General] poldie:
People's eyesight 1) is different to other people's, and 2) changes through age. There's no *right* value. If you go to the same webpage on your monitor, tablet and phone, you'll likely find they all look different.
[Xperia Z3 General] paddylaz:
Yes I know I've never suggested otherwise. I only added those details in case someone (such as yourself) might offer them as reasons for unreliable variability. I just added that to rule out any visual eccentricities that might negatively affect the value of what i was saying.

The fact that it changes through age is irrelevant. I am referencing the screen to something else...so the contrasting reference will be consistent. sRGB calibrations are advanced measurements made using (among other things) wavelength. That's why they are a standard.
[Xperia Z3 General] poldie:
If you're calibrating your phone so that images you produce in phone are more likely to be reproduced accurately on other people's devices, then you're doing it right.

If, however, you're calibrating your phone to an objective external definition of what is accurate without taking your own eyes into account, you're doing it wrong, because - for example - if you're older and your eyesight is therefore tending towards the yellow then you need to compensate for that, otherwise your spot-on, 100% accurate colour reproduction is going to look too yellow.

Also, bear in mind that absolutely nobodies phone, tablet, monitor, tv etc is calibrated "properly", not are they set to the same brightness/contrast settings, and some people have dynamic this and cinema mode that. Perhaps in the future this'll be handled properly, but not - I suspect- on most consumer equipment.
[Xperia Z3 General] paddylaz:
Well I did say it wasn't meant to be professional grade. I'm young, decent eyesight, and there is such a thing as proper calibration in the digital/tech world - sRGB is the international standard for displaying content on the internet for instance. Anyway, I posted my methodology because it's something that someone can do very easily just by popping into an apple store on the way to work etc - much easier than spending ages comparing peoples' posted values that are all going to be even more subjective and open to error.
[Xperia Z3 General] Jonathan-H:
I've got loads of phones in my shop so i've tried to callibrate it to match other phones, but because the blue level on mine is so high, I just can't get it anywhere near other phones. I've tried Iphone 5c's, 5s's, Xperia Z and Z1, HTC One.

Just can't get the display anywhere near them. They always seem too yellow and my device won't match it so i'm trying very very hard to get used to the blue screen.
[Xperia Z3 General] jayr04:
You're right. I returned my first Z3 and I compared it to my second and it was a big difference. My second one has much warmer whites and I don't need to calibrate it.

When I did a warranty exchange with my Nexus 5 the screens looked different as well.
[Xperia Z3 General] marc539:
I'm a little lost, what exactly are you supposed to do once you download this Pic?
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
Calibrate the screen so you can "barely" see the separation between the black bars.
[Xperia Z3 General] poldie:
How is this going to address "too warm/too blue" white balance issues?
[Xperia Z3 General] Eric Violette:
Green at 230? WOW! lol. Little too dramatic, lol. Try Red 36, Green 8, and Blue 0. But then again, my default whiteness isn't too bad. little cool, but just a small nudge in red and green will do the trick!
[Xperia Z3 General] Jmakhdoom:
With default settings my phone is showing a bit warmer / reddish colors. I have to increase the blue color a bit in order to make white background pure white.
[Xperia Z3 General] infinitylook:
z3 dual

what's you're display calibration for z3 dual there, anyone? I guess the z3 dual screen is much better than the single variants.
[Xperia Z3 General] robbiekhan:
70/230/0 is far too off to be deemed accurate. All my monitors are calibrated with an i1Display pro and I've visually calibrated my Z3 alongside the monitors to match (169/188/47 RGB):

My values won't work the same on any other Z3 as you'd expect but it's a starting point at least I guess.
[Xperia Z3 General] subhani:
Robbie, I think you may still have x reality or superivivid enabled, since the red on the headscarf via the z3 is very saturated, I like it like so but the monitor behind it depicts a more purplish subdued red instead.
[Xperia Z3 General] robbiekhan:
Nope I have all display processing features disabled as I never liked using them^^
[Xperia Z3 General] KoningPaulus:
If you just look at your phone screen you won't tell it's blue. Until you hold it directly to a good screen, like a mac, then you will tell its kinda blue with bright images. I won't change the white balance, since I cant tell the difference without a 'real white' screen next to it and I like the brightness. Its nice to be able to read your messages directly in the sun.

So my wife purchased the One Touch Fierce 2 after her Fierce 1 soft bricked (there wasn't ANY support out there for a stock firmware or update.zip). This is a nice device: http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Alcatel-OneTouch-Fierce-2_id8868

Can we come up with an official root process? I haven't tried the usual Framaroot or Towelroot because there isn't anything official to fall back on like an update.zip or something from Alcatel.

A method for rooting, bootloader unlock, and custom recovery would be awesome for this device.

Any suggestions??

[General Questions and Answers] konsolen:
hi espada,

after your root fail, clear the antutu and the kingo app in your setting menu.

sometimes this method must tried 10 to 20 times to work.

So after every failed try, clear the 2 apps and close all apps that run at the moment.

and dont forget to check usb debugging on your device.

also alcatel is a little bit tricky with drivers.so look for the original drivers.

good luck, good root!

It lies!! lol

I have used the kingroot+antutu method over and over, it will eventually claim success, yet I have no permissions to the users command in terminal/busybox. Similarly when I apply folder name changes to normally protected folders, they refuse to change sometimes, others they refuse to change back. The final thing, iroot is the only thing that says I don't have root access, I can trick it by replacing kinguser with SU, but nothing actually seems to work.

[General Questions and Answers] BlackAuras:
I Found a Root!!!

First, you need to download Anututu Benchmark and Kingroot from online. Get the 4.0 version. It will not be in English be that is fine. Now, open Anututu and run it, let it got to 10% then go open Kingroot and click root. Do not click the screen, that just makes it restart. After it restarts, run anututu but this time as soon as it starts, go to app settings and clear data for Kingroot. Now open kingroot and click root. Keep doing this process until the precentage reaches 100% THEN restarts, not before then. I had to do this about 5 times before it became rooted. But I have to say, you can't do much still as not custom rom or recovery supports this phone saddly. :crying:

Soo, about that bootloader though? Anyone unlock it? Can we use recovery builder to make a custom recovery from stock? Knowing theres noo way to flash a stock back makes me very careful right now, im rooted, I used kingroot. It took three tries, pc version. I removed all bloat, exchanged kingusersu for supersu pro. If anyone needs help doing that part, you have to have to leave the kinguser su installed because it gives permission to supersu to install its binary. Once the binary is installed, then go to options and install it to system. Then finally you are able to remove the kinguser su without suffering any setbacks using a system app remover. If you dont follow that order you will have to reroot.
