[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Gibscreen:
The plastic was still on, but no change in distortion taking it off. I'm guessing the cutout in the center of the plastic makes it so it doesn't impact photos.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] s197:
So I tested on my computer monitor and am able to somewhat replicate what is happening in your shots. However, this distortion is natural because you're tilting the camera downwards on its axis. Its called perspective lens distortion and is common to all cameras without a tilt shift lens (a lens that costs several thousand dollars). You should be able to replicate the effect with any camera phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Gibscreen:
Yeah I've noticed distortion in other cameras but it's just not so extreme. On the s6 the distortion makes any pics with the subject on the edge ridiculous and unusable.

I think I've narrowed it down to when the s6 is set up to shoot max resolution at 16:9. When I switch it to 4:3 the distortion is pretty much gone since that distorted area is just cropped out but that reduces it from 16mp to 12mp. Other phone cameras I've had (moto x 2nd gen and s3) crop the other way (max resolution at 4:3 and then crop to get 16:9).

So the s6 presumably has a 16:9 sensor where the others had 4:3. But the extra width is pretty much unusable.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. What's the point of having a 16mp camera if you can only effectively use 12mp?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] hp79:
Any update on this? I was hoping there's a post processing software in Android/Windows/OSX that can compensate for the lens distortion even though it'll reduced the resolution a bit. I have a AT&T Galaxy S6.

I tried DXO Optics Pro 8, and it works very good for shots from my Nikon D7000 to un-alienize the faces, but there are no modules for the Galaxy S6 lens.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Note3 Revive Team:
Vote for your Favourite *Unsupported* Rom to be given weeklies!​

Please Note i will only support the N9005, hlte.

Why?

Currently the amount of lollipop AOSP/CM based roms for the Note 3 is running a tad short for my liking, i believe in choice and i believe that if you have the hardware to do it, why not? I will be running this poll for a week to see which Roms you guys want to see rolling out for the Note 3 and i will roll them out to you on a weekly basis, i can probably build a few roms in a day so the top few will be what i choose to support.

If you want a Rom added to the Poll just ask me and i'll add it, so what are you waiting for? Vote and i'll start rolling them out!​

Reserved for Results
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sirobelec:
This one probably is just wishful thinking, due to the fact that back on JB/KK it was very difficult for the dev, now with LP it will be even more difficult.

There used to be a ROM for the S4 named BlackBox.

It was a

hybrid

between TouchWiz and AOSP, the dev ported AOSP frameworks and libraries to work with TouchWiz. The ROM was SICK. And not easy to do. Not sure if the ROM had an altogether different kernel or any TW kernel could work.

Wishful thinking... :/
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Note3 Revive Team:
That is probably beyond my skills as ive never ported, only built from source, however i'll get in touch with the developer of that Rom and see if he is willing to lend a hand to try get that going for the Note 3, i honestly thought there would be more interest on this thread thou..

Any AOSP/CM roms you want for weeklies haha?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sirobelec:
As odd as it is, I got used to the close-to-stock TW ROMs. Don't mistake me, AOSP ROMs are fast as Hell, way more moddable, more beautiful, and I like that. However, for the way I use my Nope 3, close to stock suits my needs better. :D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Note3 Revive Team:
It's rare you find a samsung device where people are actually happy with Touchwizz ;)

So is no one interested in suggesting weeklies for an AOSP Rom? Or perhaps i should make a custom stock (Not that there are enough already)?

I honestly thought there would be more interest in this thread! What's going on guys??
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sirobelec:
I believe it might be something like this...

The user base needs something entirely different from the two (three if you count MIUI) options, we've got used to it. And some people might have the ideas for something different but lack the skills to do it. On one side you have AOSP (most of the AOSP ROMs function and behave almost the same; simple fact, not bashing the work of anyone, I don't have the knowledge to bash it :D ), on the other - TouchWiz. Both have their uses.

I lack the knowledge on how to do it, apparently the whole team of Samsung that makes TouchWiz doesn't (xDDDDDDDDDDDDD)... to combine all the functionality of the device at it's top performance with a really sleek UI implementation that's different enough to make the user treat and use the device differently.

Otherwise, I'd theme TW with black, grey, blue, holo colors n stuff and make the UI look like the control panel of some spaceship seen in sci-fi. :D The device itself carries the "Galaxy" moniker, ffs, and Samsung made it sound and look like a f***ing toy!

Making an AOSP ROM then stabilizing it, from what I've read, is no easy task for the whole Google team, it seems...

I am afraid that the Note 3 simply lacks the attraction to crackheaded devs who would tear Ubuntu Touch's a** in half, merge it with AOSP then slap that combination on top of whatever's left of TouchWiz. xD We have most of the major AOSP ROMs, can't tweak too much TW because of it's damn closed source, and... that's that. :/

Sorry if this was incoherent.

P.S. I am also sorry if any of this seems disrespectful, I don't mean it to be, given the fact that you're willing to actually build the ROM that's most demanded. o.O Wish you luck.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ps000000:
Those are 2 recognize ROMs since my Nexus 5. :laugh:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Note3 Revive Team:
Well when i hit 10 posts, and perhaps a little more interest is gathered in the thread then i can get these builds of vanir and nameloss rolling out to the community.

I am suprised thou i really am that no one seems to use AOSP/CM roms on the galaxy note 3!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mahjong:
I'm trying to find info about programing for VueFlo.

Someone working on this????
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Pyrofer:
I hope so!

There is no reason that VueFlo couldnt be used a a generic input for gaming. Everybody went mad for Wii because of the tilt sensor, the Athena has it too!

Fancy an oldschool MarbleMadness game on Mame that uses the VueFlo sensor? I do!

SO many of the games out there could benefit. What we need is something like the directX input model. Where the games read a standard input, and you get any random hardware driver to suply the info to that.

That would allow for other cool stuff, how about motion tracking via the camera as game input? (ala mosquitos).

I guess the people with the skills to do this sort of thing have real lives and are busy elsewhere.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] xmen06:

[HTC One X+] beansrowning:
Hello all, I recently started the process of rooting my HTC One X+ and it all went smoothly until it came time to flash a recovery.

I used Windroid Universal toolkit to get started, thinking it would make things easier (not that I haven't rooted a phone before).

I unlocked the bootloader just fine, in the bootloader it gives "*unlocked*".

Next, I tried flashing TWRP with the toolkit, it brings me to bootloader, but when going to HBOOT and hitting recovery, it just brings me back to bootloader. Hmm, weird. So I decide to do it manually, download latest TWRP for evitareul (2.8.5.0), reboot into fastboot.

Execute: fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.5.0-evitareul.img

and it gives me this:

"sending 'recovery' (8224 KB)...

OKAY [ 1.115s]

writing 'recovery'...

(bootloader) Format partition SOS done

FAILED (remote: err = 0xa)

finished. total time: 1.153s"

I don't know whether it matters, but when going into HBOOT it pops up with some errors saying something along the lines of unable to access SD or something. It goes too fast to really write it down.

So I think maybe deleting cache would help, and to no avail. I look up online for the error code and nobody seems to have an answer for it. I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere on the forums, I looked for quite some time before posting a new thread. I'm not sure what is going wrong.

My end goal was to flash recovery, make a back up, then flash superSU but if I can't flash recovery then I'm not going to do anything else and risk a brick.

Does anyone know what's up with this error and how to fix it?
[HTC One X+] Coolgoly:
You're flashing a wrong recovery.
[HTC One X+] beansrowning:
What recovery should I be flashing then? My device is Evitare_UL, and I am getting img files from

I have tried other versions to no avail.

Hi guys I'm having a problem with a Samsung galaxy note 3 sm-n900, the phone works normally, but when you make/receive a call you can't hear anything (even if you use loudspeaker or earbuds); I entered the test mode and everything works good, and in other apps (like music app) loudpeasker and earbuds works perfect. this one has android lollipop (the problem was shown in kit kat too) what can I do? thanks in advance and sorry for bad english :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plazaman91:
Hey,

You mentioned that you entered test mode it works fine.

Are you sure its not a problem with the carrier?

Also did you check all your sound settings in the dialer app?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smasher4:
Yes it works perfect on test mode, tested sim card from my smartphone (nexus 4) in the samsung...When I make a call the other person hears what I'm saying but I don't have any sound, even with headphones... could this be a hardware issue? If that's the case where should I start?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
If it works fine in test mode, then it's not a hardware defect.

I'm going to assume you raised the in-call volume? (which can only be changed during a call).

Tried clearing the cache in recovery? Factory reset? Reflash?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smasher4:
Yep I tested volume during call, and I did flash it with odin stock firmware (the phone didn't wipe itself it was more like it updated firmware with no wiping), but I was thinking that maybe will be more effective if I root it and install CWM, and then reset the dalvik cache? since the stock recovery only has the Wipe data and wipe cache options.

Thanks for all the help guys
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plazaman91:
Hmmm even with headphones?

That's real odd, it does not sound like a hardware issue.

Did you factory reset or wipe the cache after flashing with odin?

Give those a try 1st.

I recommend wiping cache 1st before you factory reset and see if that works.

Try clearing data in the dialer app while you at it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smasher4:
Thanks, I'll try to erase cache, then flash stock firmware via odin, is there away to wipe the phone from odin? last time didn't erased anything just updated the firmware/apps :confused:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plazaman91:
No I don't think there is a way to wipe from odin.

Factory Reset from phone then flash stock with odin.

Hi,

I have an alarm going off at 9pm everyday, the only thing is I have not set it :-)

I had installed Oxios and did not like it and de-installed, but I know had disabled all the alarms, so I don't understand where it is reading this from.

If I check settings-->clocks and alarms --> alarms it is turned off

Can anyone tell me where this setting might be stored so I can get rid of it please.

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 General] gtg465x:
HDxDaniel discovered this trick on the Note 4, but it works great on the S6 as well. This hidden screen mode gives you accurate colors like basic mode, but cool whites like adaptive mode. It's great for those of us who don't want super saturated colors, but also don't want super warm whites. This screen mode basically makes the S6 screen look like an iPhone or Nexus 5 screen, so if you came from either of those phones, you'll probably like it.

Here's the thread detailing how to set it:

http://xdaforums.com/note-4/general/secret-display-color-mode-saturated-t3101547

[Galaxy S6 General] gtg465x:
Looks like it needs to be set again each time you reboot. A little annoying, but not a huge deal.
[Galaxy S6 General] superleeds27:
Interesting!
[Galaxy S6 General] lewis6991:
Works great. Don't understand why this is hidden. I love basic mode but those whites have really bothered me. This new mode seems a bit too bright but I suppose I just need to get use to it.
[Galaxy S6 General] jhericurls:
The white do look better, but I think it makes the colours look washed out.
[Galaxy S6 General] dermotti:
Nice find. Looks pretty decent.
[Galaxy S6 General] gtg465x:
So it's clear to me after some testing that the colors aren't quite as accurate in this mode as basic mode (reds in particular), but they're much closer to accurate than any other mode apart from basic. I suspect this is because this color profile was designed for a Galaxy Tab AMOLED screen with slightly different characteristics.
[Galaxy S6 General] gtg465x:
I wish we could create our own color profiles. Any devs tried finding the included ones in system or in the kernel code?
[Galaxy S6 General] Itaintrite:
That's because you're too used to the Super AMOLED's vibrant colors.
[Galaxy S6 General] hpsauce37:
I only get 2 options.

Adapt display or reading mode?
[Galaxy S6 General] orlandoxpolice:
Click on adapt.
[Galaxy S6 General] hpsauce37:
did that and cant say i see any difference.

I get the impression from people on here the change is quite obvious on whites etc but mine look the same
[Galaxy S6 General] ysrini:
Same here too!:confused:

EDIT: I see it now!
[Galaxy S6 General] omrij:
Why would Samsung "hide" a better screen calibration?
[Galaxy S6 General] Itaintrite:
Because most people want popping vs. accurate colors. Can't really show off the AMOLED with this ;P
[Galaxy S6 General] jhericurls:
That's why I went for an AMOLED screen, looks awesome doesn't it :)
[Galaxy S6 General] omrij:
But they already gave you a choice right now, adaptive/cinema/photo/basic.

They could easily add another one.

It's just weird IMO.
[Galaxy S6 General] gtg465x:
You might need to toggle reading and then adapt to get it to apply.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gs4user4:
I just swapped out my SGS3 for a Galaxy Note 4, carried by Verizon, and I'm having GPS lock issues. This phone isn't even a week old.

My phone is as stock as it comes under Verizon. I used Google Maps to drive somewhere across town and it'd place me blocks or miles in the wrong direction. It couldn't track me, either. My phone also notifies me intermittently that it's "Found my location." Lies. Though, at least it knows I'm in California, so that's a start.

I downloaded the GPS Status app to figure out what the problem was. Apparently, satellites cannot fix on my location. The app lists that 0/20 satellites have a fix on me; that number is largely unchanging. If I pull up the app while I drive, the satellites can fix on my location, but as soon as I switch to another app, like Google Maps, it loses my location lock and thinks I'm anywhere within a five mile radius. If I pull the GPS Status app up again (at times, while driving--not always), the satellites can find a lock on me. If I switch out to any other app, the satellites drop me and the process repeats. The GPS lock lasts 10-20 seconds after switching out of the GPS Status app before going to ****.

I've tried taking out and re-inserting the SIM card. No luck. I've tried factory resetting my phone. Some luck, but 16 hours later the same issues began to arise. I've tried doing both at the same time. No luck.

There is another incredibly peculiar thing that happens simultaneously: the stock Accuweather widget that comes with the Note 4 (listed as just Weather under widgets) goes all wonky. That's when I know my phone has gone from being able to acquire, and maintain, a GPS lock, to dementia-ville. And by wonky I mean that it goes from showing the time above the date above the weather above the city to showing the time on the left and the weather and my city on the right. Replacing the widget on my home screen works for a few seconds, or until I refresh the weather, and then it topples over and reports its information from left to right instead of top to bottom.

Specs: SM-N910V

Android: 5.0.1 (stock)

I'll be around to troubleshoot. Any help is appreciated.
