If you are getting A NAND WRITE ERROR in Odin just change the cable.

[XDA Assist] jd1639:
I, thank you for using XDA Assist. If I understand your question you have a Tab 3 that is running Android 4.4.2 and you want to flash is back to Android 4.2.2? Many Samsung AT&T devices will not let you go backwards in firmware. But the best place to ask this question is here, http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-3/help Also see this, http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] blazie151:
I read that a Samsung S5 G900A that took the OTA update could be downgraded and then rooted, yet I can't find that information on this website and don't really trust others. This info was specific to the G900A-OC4, not the G900F or others. Is it possible or not?

EDIT: There's even a service on eBay offering a remote IMEI repair where downgrading from 5.0 on a G900A is $10 extra. Mentioning this because they obviously have to downgrade and root to do that, and if they're able to downgrade 5.0 OC4 why can't the rest of us?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Probably because they are lying. Who though, they might have found a way and are just charging for it, as far as we know though, it is not possible to downgrade from the 5.0 ota unless you updated through flashfire.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] lmarzetti:
updated through flashfire

Hi, what would be the way to downgrade from 5.0 OTA If I updated my g900a through flashfire.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
If you used muniz_ri's method and flashed the rooted oc4, it should have came with an old bootloader so just downgrade to nce and it should work.

The description of WM6 new releases by Faria stated that finaly he solved the annoying car charger disconnection problem.

I think this has been one of the major isues of the Hermes, and until this moment nobody has been able to solve it without tweaking the conectors.

Could somebody explain how to "export" the Faria solution to any other rom (reg change, cab file...).

At the moment I'm with the last Elf rom and don't have time for a new change.

Thanks

(I have made this question on Faria's post but no answer at the moment)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] aximfan:
I dont have that problem with my hermes, maybe because Im using the i.Trek semsons automount
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jcespi2005:
Hi.

I solved this problem time ago buying a new car charger for my Hermes, and issue dissapears, no matter wat ROM i use :)

Not all car charges are the same, take a look and buy one specifically for Hermes...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zmit:
bear in mind that there are also two different pin configurations for miniUSB connectors.

my father has one miniUSB connector for his GPS and another seemingly identical one for his hermes. one works on the hermes, the other does not.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jfrm:
Thanks for your comments.

I know that there are special chargers that will work, but I use one with 2 USB female connector in wich I can conect at same time an usb+psp double cable (for my Hermes and my Creative Zen Extra) and a single usb cable (for my Leadtek GPS).

I prefer to avoid more gadgets arround, and if there is a free software solution....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] crepatas:
I had the same problem. I found a way around it, it's not elegant but it works.

Disconnect and reconnect the battery while the car charges is connected.

It works every time.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jfrm:
There is an easier solution, but not always works. Just connect the hermes while it is in standby.

...

Regarding the real solution announced with the new roms, it should be the chef secret recipe....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BigPhil:
I used to suffer from this all the time, now it works 100%. I am running Black 3.5 but I think it was fixed back in Black 2.0 / XDA Live 0.2 time. I am using the same cable I used back then.

The workaround I used to do was, if it didnt start charging, to just soft reset the device and it would charge every time.

-- Phil
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Karzi:
im guessing with the faria solution it only sends 500ma to the phone still, but yes working great so far with the Faria rom.

I did have the correct charger cable but then it got mixed up or broken and have not found it since. (it had the correct pins and thus charged at a much faster rate the the usb sync cable rate.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] JoeVulture:
My interest in this is improperly designed devices, such as the Garmin Mobile 20 GPS receiver. It has a method of powering the connected phone/PDA by means of a cable, but it doesn't work on the TyTN (although it does work with a friend's T-Mobile SDA).

The unit clearly gives enough power to charge the TyTN, as connecting it then doing a soft-reset works. I just have no hope that Garmin will fix this issue, even though I have pointed them to one of the larger threads on car chargers, and what has to be done to make them work (I suspect that a new charging cable on their end would be enough to make it work). Thus, a software fix that works with the various ROMs out there would be a good thing.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Acuum2:
I would also like to know this.

my sister and father both have hermes i would like to implement this change which has caused my dad MANY porblems without havnig to upgrade him to WM06 and invalidate his warentee.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] sickchilly:
I bought some cheap no-name USB car charger labled for Motorola Razr I believe... I was confused as to why it seemed to work intermittently. I recently found the answer - you must have the car charger live before you plug it into the Hermes. So I:

1. Plug in the car charger to the cigar lighter

2. Start or turn on the car

3. Then plug it into the Hermes.

Works 100% now.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Acuum2:
everyone keeps missing the point...

there are several work arrounds!!!

BUT somone has managed to work out how to get the software ROM to behave properly.. this is better than ANY work arround or special adapter....

this software is what we require. (please!) stop explaining you special connection methods its not what is being asked for...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinwu128:
After updating my s4 to KitKat, I kept getting Random reboots.

I Installed "Samsung Kitkat SystemServer Crash Fix" as a workaround and happy with it.

My question is if I download 5.0.1, since xposed isn't officially supported with it yet, Has anyone else had the random rebooting issue anymore?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traneupcqk:
Have you tried to wipe cache and dalvik/ art ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
That module is only neccesary on some version of kitkat.

In Lollipop that issue is fixed.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinwu128:
Thanks! I'm trusting you one this one. Updating now :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinwu128:
Omggg! Now it starts up and no more than 5 seconds. After flashing firmware with odin it seemed to be okay. I tried to connect kingo root to it but it never did anything thing. It was downloading files but when it said "waiting for file" (wouldn't reboot) i rebooted it manually and tried one more time.. the random rebooting started! I have tried reflashing the firmware again. I had to do the dalvik cache wipe to get it to boot properly. But now it's rebooting randomly.. so frustrating. I can't even do anything to stop it.

I tried booting into safemode, and it's still doing the same thing. I can see safemode is running. But after 5 seconds it restarts!

Please help!!!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinwu128:
Just letting everyone know that I tried flashing different versions for Lollipop, all with the same problem.

So I have reverted back to 4.4.4. with Xposed installed and the plugin to stop it from rebooting randomly.

Back to square one, but at least it's a working phone again.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
That's because you CANNOT use Kingoroot. Kingoroot is only for old versions of Android. Kingoroot will never work on lollipop.

If you want to root, use CF-auto root. Then remove Knox.

The reboots are not caused by the firmware but by your own actions.
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
Color Changer adjusts the screen color in all apps. Needs root, of course.

Free version: Google Play.

Pro version: Google Play.

Free(!) pro version 1.12 for Android 4.4-5.1 only: sideload.

The free version lets you change the screen to red on black or to green on black, as well as to invert the screen (either in regular colors, or in green or red mode). This is nice for maintaining dark adaptation. The free version also includes color blindness support modes (you already have them if you have Lollipop, but they might be useful for colorblind Kitkat users) and gamma adjustment.

You can also have a widget for changing colors and it includes a Tasker plugin.

The Pro version gives a bunch more pre-set color themes (black and white, amber, sepia, mono sepia, no blue), as well as custom color settings (R/G/B/saturation), and quick color changes via the notification area.

Color Changer may slow down games by about 20% (exactly to the same extent that the stock Lollipop color reverse and colorblindness settings do), but seems compatible with all apps I've tried, with the exception of Chainfire's CF.Lumen (which does similar things but installs a persistent driver; CF.Lumen works faster with games, but for my purposes I prefer ColorChanger's interface).

Color Changer is a successor to my GalacticNight app which did mostly the same thing, but GalacticNight was only for some Galaxy phones and without the custom settings.

Do not turn on the "start on boot" option until you've tested the app thoroughly.
[Android Apps and Games] Trijunction:
Hi..it's a great app..just tried your beta version..it works well. I am yet to find a serious bug.

I have tried Tasker action as per your instruction ..it works well except for the minor aspect that every time I enter or exit an app that has color change tagged, app screen of "color Changer is flashing before the launch of actual app.

For example...if have put an action to change screen to "BW" when I launch flibboard. Now when I launch flibboard from home screen instead of opening the app directly, I am getting a flash of color chnager app screen.

Possible to fix? Thanks again for this nice app..
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
The way I'm implementing Tasker integration right now is by launching ColorChanger, and, yes, that results in a flash of the app screen. I think that the way to get around this is for me to write a proper Tasker plugin. I haven't done that before, so I don't know exactly how easy it is. I am not sure I'll get around to this before the initial release, though I do really like the idea of doing this eventually. Thanks for the report.

p.s. When reporting issues, please tell me if you're using 4.4 or 5.x. ColorChanger works very differently on the two operating systems.
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
I now included a full-blown Tasker plugin. If you use that instead of the old method, you will avoid flashing the app screen. (On 4.4.x, you will still get a flash of weird color, as in every Color Changer change, because of how the app works.)
[Android Apps and Games] Trijunction:
Thank you for fixing it so fast! I am still staying on kitkat so may be I can't use your new plug in yet..but it's okay ..it's very manageable

I am finding your app very useful ..as I read a lot on my phone, this is helping me to save battery and easy on eyes..
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
To clarify: The plugin does work on Kitkat. It's just that on Kitkat, whenever you change color there are two color changes with a short pause between them.
[Android Apps and Games] Trijunction:
Yup..yup..I got it..I am using it on kk..I am just saying that flash of color Changer is okay to manage ..

On a separate note..didn't find any other bug so far on kitkat ..
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
I've officially released 1.00 on Google Play.
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
How much interest would there be in gamma adjustment? It might not be dynamic: it might just be a single setting per boot.
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
The gamma setting facilities are current available in the pre-release beta here. Press the Settings icon in the app to access them.

Lowering gamma to 1.8 or so may help some devices with black crush problems (near-black colors disappearing).
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
I've updated the beta test version that sets gamma to fix various bugs.
[Android Apps and Games] qreto:
something like battery saver.
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
You mean like the Samsung black and white mode?

Yeah, except that Color Changer won't save batteries in black and white mode. (In fact, I don't really know why Samsung made their power save mode be black and white. On OLED displays you can save power by turning off two of the three RGB colors, but if you run in black and white all three RGB colors are there. Maybe the GPU is used less heavily in black and white mode?)

It MIGHT in red or green mode, though it depends on the device (Color Changer makes the GPU get used more heavily).
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
I posted a new beta which fixes some bugs. It's also about 0.5mb smaller!
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
This might be my favourite app ever! My S4 has a slight green tint to it compared to 'clean' displays like the Moto G and it bugs the hell out of me at night - this is exactly what I've been looking for!

One thing - it's rather hard to compare the effect to normal in the app using the pictures - would it be possible to implement 'floating' sliders which display only the slider and the app underneath - ie Chrome with lots of white - just like the brightness slider does on Lollipop?

Thanks for your great app otherwise, I'll try it out tonight!
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
The Lorem Ipsum picture in the app has a lot of white. I was hoping that between the pencils, the LARPers and Lorem Ipsum one could calibrate well enough.

Unfortunately, I can't do the floating thing very well because of technical details of how Color Changer works (which is, admittedly, kludgy on 4.4).
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
Version 1.05 is now released on Google Play. Includes gamma support, improved landscape interface, lots of bug fixes, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
I posted a new version. The free version now includes amber mode permanently. The pro version now allows naming the custom modes when you edit them. Easier than remembering the numbers.
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
I've just updated the free and pro versions to include an Outdoor mode, which makes everything oversaturated (kind of like the outdoor mode in the camera on some Samsung devices). By default there is no button for Outdoor mode (to avoid clutter) but you can access it from the new extras (three dot) menu which lists modes that don't have buttons. In the settings you can also activate the Outdoor mode button.

The extras menu will probably be generally useful as a way of avoiding clutter.
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
I just posted a new version compatible with Android 6.0. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to get gamma adjustment to work, so I've disabled it on 6.0 devices. I don't know that anybody was using that feature anyway.

Looking at Android 6.0 source code, it's possible that colors may be a bit off, but performance may be higher. Please tell me what you see. I don't have any 6.0 devices myself.
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
Just uploaded 1.09, both free and pro.

- fix for 64-bit 5.x devices that it didn't work on before (if it breaks something for you, let me know)

- restore color settings on app install/uninstall on 5.1+ (if you install or uninstall any app, the OS restores the color to system settings; you will see a flash and then the correct ColorChanger settings will come back)
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
Just uploaded 1.10. Fixes start-on boot for 6.0 (and maybe 5.x).
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
I just tried Color Changer on my HTC A9 with Marshmellow, and benchmarked it with AnTuTu and 3DMark. I was happy to see that it made no difference to performance.

I would like to get benchmarks from a few other Marshmellow devices. If you have Marshmellow, I would be really grateful if you could send me your graphics scores with and without Color Changer active, either in AnTuTu or 3DMark. The first ten people to send me benchmark scores by August 15 will get a promo code for the Pro version. And I'll post a summary of the results in this thread.
[Android Apps and Games] dorolan05:
Hi this is possible to use in my adnroid 4.3 plss??
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
Alas, it depends on the particular benchmark. Some show about a 20% decrease in 3D performance.
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
No. It's very much a hack on 4.4, but at least 4.4 has the rudiments of an interface for adjusting color. 4.3 doesn't have it at all. cf.lumen may work for you, though.
[Android Apps and Games] mkhcb:
I have the pro version of your app and the app constantly crashes when an app is being updated in the background. This is super annoying. Please fix.
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:

[Android Apps and Games] varun.gid:
Which mode will be likely to save little more battery on AMOLED panels? i think the OP said Black and white doesn't make any difference?
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
Turning off one or two of the color planes should save batteries. So, no-blue could save while maintaining a lot of usability. For a more radical effect, green or red. But the GPU is used more heavily when ColorChanger is going, which could cancel the effect.
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
I just posted a new version that lets the Outdoor option be added to the notification area.
[Android Apps and Games] MallowsAndGooey:
works well on my grand prime running on cm13 mate. adjusted some settings so my screen would look close to amoled. ?
[Android Apps and Games] hectorbls:
Hello,

I have been using this app for a long time and I really like it. One request I would love to see implemented is the ability to type in the values instead of just relying on the slider. Either that or having a left/right or up/down arrow to tweak the values ever so slightly.
[Android Apps and Games] tpaxadpom:
start on boot doesn't work for me on Android Car head unit. Do I need to do anything special to make it work? Thinking about trying Tasker to see if it can be automated with it.
[Android Apps and Games] AxiK.:
Great app, sometimes it turns off (lack of memory maybe?) Can you update to a new material ui? thanks
[Android Apps and Games] axsebur:
Sometimes color settings resets

Great app. I was glad to find him. But there is a problem - on my phone, the color is reset in some situations. For example, when I restart Tasker.

[Android Apps and Games] tuxing:
The color changer works perfectly on Android 10 Asus rom on Rog 3 phone. Just bought the pro version yesterday. Thanks a lot [MENTION=2714177]arpruss[/MENTION] for making this wonderful tool. Hope you can update the ui for newer phones, on Asus rom there is an option to scale full-screen apps which works perfectly for color changer.

Both color & saturation changing is working perfectly on Rog 3. Some games and benchmark apps reset colors to system settings but it's no big deal as it can be easily restored. Didn't experience much difference in performance with color changer enabled.

Phones like ROG 3/Rog 2 use custom software for displays which makes implementing kcal display control difficult in custom kernels. Also having gamma controls back will be great for ROG 3 , as it has black crush issues. Please continue development of this app and if possible help kernel developers in implementing better color control in kernels.

Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] GreatTide:
I tried free version and it worked on Galaxy Tab A7 2020 Android 10.

However I cannot seem to find a gamma adjust menu inside gear icon menu.

Does pro version has a gamma adjust option? Or could it be a bug on Android 10 that gamma adjust not appear?

I am considering to purchase pro version if gamma adjust is possible.

Waiting for your reply.

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
I am planning on soon dropping official support for Android 4.4, and reducing support for 5.1 and below (no more gamma changing) iin the official version. Because of this, I have just released a free apk of the 1.12 pro version for Android 4.4-5.1 only: https://pruss.mobi/dl/ColorChangerPro44-51-111.apk
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
Gamma adjust only works on Android 4.4-5.1. Things changed after 5.1 and I wasn't able to get gamma working after thata point.
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
I've released a new 0.20 version with better support for Android 9 and above, and with hue rotation in the custom settings [pro only].
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
I posted a new version (1.20) with smoother color changing.
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
I posted a new version which in pro custom mode lets you tweak the endpoints of the white and black color ranges. This might help with some black/white crushing (or not), or might help enhance contrast for special purposes (e.g., you can make dark greys fully black, or light greys fully white).
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
I just released 1.31:

- fix run-on-boot on modern devices

- added Contrasty mode [pro] which pushes off-white to very white and off-black to pitch black, which makes things look better for those of us with middle-aged eyes who hate the modern trend of web designers to using light/dark gray instead of white/black

- added a grayscale ramp to the sample images
[Android Apps and Games] Delta 32:
I barely ever post, but since it's fairly quiet in here I just wanted to tell you that your app is fantastic. Turned my A7 Lite with it's terrible, washed out, cold display and no color adjustment settings, into a decent little tablet. Still fidgeting a bit to dial in the 'optimal' settings for me.

One thing to mention:

If anyone is having trouble with Netflix showing black screen with only sound, I've found it occurs when adjusting black and white levels in Color Changer. So make a separate custom profile for Netflix that only adjusts RGB and Saturation, and leave black/white at default 0 and it should work fine.
