Ok so I got bored and took a peek at the app. The code is 99% security/license checking and it's heavily obfuscated. I don't think the app can even do anything. It's got some pre-defined color palletes and a call out to "WriteColor" in a library called "KernelWriter". From the app:

package com.emandt.colormodechanger;
public class NDKClass {
public static String a = "";
public NDKClass() {
System.loadLibrary("[B]KernelWriter[/B]");
}
public static native int [B]writeColor[/B](String var0, int var1);

private static int a(File var0, int var1) {
if(var0 == null) {
var1 = -1;
} else {
var1 = [B]NDKClass.writeColor[/B](var0.getAbsolutePath(), var1);
}

A quick google shows a KernelWriter java library to be a part of a project called aparapi. Here's the main branch source.

https://github.com/aparapi/aparapi/...amd/aparapi/internal/writer/KernelWriter.java

No WriteColor function exists.. or even the mention of the word "color". There are plenty of branches, maybe someone completely re-wrote the library?

You can only download the APK from joining a G+ group, where you have to pay $1 for a license to even run the app. Then there's all code he devoted to security and authentication, the obfuscation of the code itself and **** that just doesn't make sense. All in all, this app seems highly suspect.
[Android Software Development] emandt:
There are a plenty of Libraries with similar or exactly the same name, I'm not surprised of that. I never heard about that other project.

All my code has my own copyrights because I do not copy from anyone.

If you don't understand how Java and Native C source codes can work together there is no way I can explain you something.

Second, I lost my will to explain you something due to your decompilation procedure (

I encourage you to leave this thread, you are not more well accepted here

).

My project is FREE during Beta period.

As a free App I don't accept an user can offend or pretend something from me.

The point it's simple: does the free App works to you?

- Yes: good, enjoy it

- No: well, try a different App

I'm bored to read users that offends other's work because its Licensing part or something else.

I started to develop this App for my excelusive usage because I was bored to ruin my eyes with an over-saturated AMOLED, and later I decided to give the App to others.

If you don't like the App I encourage you to develope your own (and FREE) App, I don't understand why someone should tell me how to develop and how to do MY work.

Many testers are using the App without any problem and have voted in the G+ Community their preferred settings, so the App is working well when the License problem doesn't occurs.

If you're annoyed about the License part I encourage you to check for other App. I do not force anyone to use it and I do not accept complaints for a free sofware expecially in a Beta phase.

Waiting for your great and FREE App,

emandt
[Android Software Development] bobbarker2:
You keep using the word "free". I'm not sure you know what it means. The only available version fo your 'beta' app won't even run because of license checking.. where it costs $0.99 in the google store. That's free?

And I only spent 5 mins looking at your app, didn't see you included your own lib. I decompiled that and even I see even more weird **** going on. Your WriteColor function wants to know a list of all directories in /data/app. Then you're doing a bunch of checks on yourself and poking around in god knows where else in the system, even your disassembled lib is impossible to follow with all your gotos. More obfuscation.

All the security, making a C lib for no reason (doesn't perform anything you can't do in java), obfuscation, licensing, saying its free when its not free, and oh yeah - no one has yet to even see it do anything yet - makes this whole app look way too fishy.

[MENTION=233416]emandt[/MENTION] My screen has a slight red tint on the left side. I've tested apps that offer gradient solutions, but as most of them work with filters "over" the screen and the note 4 is an amoled screen, the infinite contrast is gone and might burn the screen over time.

Is it possible to include a customizable gradient option to your app? Many, MANY people have problems with their amoled screens like me and your app could be a solution to us.

Thank you.
[Android Software Development] emandt:
Unfortunately that it's not possible with my App because it works on the entire screen only without any possibility to do what you needs.

I'm sorry but I think all possible solutions will be only a transparent layer that drains battery of consume Memory and doesn't works very well.

Just to share my experience with others. Downloaded from Play Store (had to pay of course) and the app does nothing. It only requests for root permissions and then - black screen. The app cannot be refunded in Play Store for whatever reason.

Thoughts on screen modes

Hello together,

I ended up in this thread as I'm not really happy with the "out of box" color reproduction of my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5, which I mostly bought to watch movies.

Although I'm using the stock rom with its "screen modes" provided by Samsung, I can't get especially skin colors to be reproduced correctly. Even in the basic or cinema mode, they look way too reddish and not even closely as good compared to my old Samsung Galaxy S4 (where the "Cinema mode" is even more natural without any hint of oversaturation).

First I thought I got an exemplar with a bad/tinted screen, but whites are pretty okay although they tend to look a bit yellowish/smokey compared to a cold-temperatured LCD but I guess that's a general thing with AMOLEDs.

However, when I take a screenshot of the oversaturated video (even in basic mode as we remember) and select "adaptive mode", at least in the built-in gallery app it looks relatively natural and decent. Maybe not 100% calibrated to sRGB/IEC/rec bla and whatnot, but I could live with that.

However, the adaptive mode doesn't seem to adjust it correctly when using decent players like Kodi as it looks even more saturated and thus worse than the basic mode. The internal video player seems to adjust it at least halfway correctly when enabling the reading mode, but that doesn't work for Kodi either although I added it to the list.

As this app here (which I bought during my attack of enthusiasm) doesn't provide the advanced correction functions with the stock rom kernel, I wonder if there isn't a possibility to get the same adjustment for video apps as it obviously happens in the gallery in adaptive mode.

Furthermore, is it known where the parameters for the different screen modes are stored? Shouldn't there be a way to alter these settings even without a special kernel assuming root access?

And by the way emandt, despite your great app and programming skills which I don't want to question for one moment, I might correct your introduction of your app: it is not the screens which "suffer" from oversaturated colors but it's the crappy software which results in Samsung's and other programmer's hopeless ignorance, not giving a damn about color reproduction and calibration. The oversaturation only occurs as a result of the bad combination of limited sources with a smaller color space reproduced by a way larger color space. If the source would feature the whole color space, AMOLEDs can reproduce, one wouldn't have a problem either as the full saturation would only be archieved if intended by the it. However with limited sources as they mostly occur, one simply has to take that into account and "artificially" limit the reproduction device's capabilities. One can't blame a screen to be capable of more than the stuff it is fed with. Just saying as it is misleading and only repeated too often by most people.
[Android Software Development] emandt:
Apps should exchange data with the kernel to do that, but it's not possible due to Root restrictions (all those Apps should have Root permissions to work).

It's known after enough study and many tries...

Yes it could be possible but the Kernel should expose some functions/methods (I talk about source code or API) to accept parameters and change its values according...and it requires time, work and create a non-standard/non-default kernel hardly to maintain updated without long work at each update.

Sure, but most of interested people doesn't know anything about technical informations, so talking about "color saturation of the display" is the easiest way to introduce it ;)

Hello,

Currently I am running a converted GPE M7 and wanted to revert to stock ROM. But right after I changed my CiD from GOOGL001 to 11111111 the phone stopped getting recognized in fastboot mode (it gets recognized when booted normally). Can anyone help me solve this issue?

I have tried numerous guides on how to solve this, no luck. Tried reinstalling drivers, HTC sync drivers (removed sync), manually, nothing, phone shows a yellow exclamation mark in device manager. Using a USB2 port btw.

I am running win8.1 x64. Before it worked flawlessly. Now nothing... So can anyone help me with solving this and getting back stck ROM?

Phone is s-off, unlocked, rooted btw

Thanks all

Don't forget that since you are using Ubuntu, you will have to use an older ruu.zip because newer ruu (7.xx.xxx.x) will only flash using htc_fastboot.exe which is Windows only. No problem flashing older RUU using the standard fastboot from ubuntu e.g. 1.28.401.7 or 4.19.401.9

Hi guys,

Just wondering if you have noticed that charging a device whilst off seems no faster than when the device is on. Do you experience that too?

I am using the Port Power charging cable with the Boise 7port charger and it still takes approx 2.5hrs for a full charge.

Keen to hear how long your charging takes whilst on and off.

Thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inferol:
HTC is known for slower charging rate because battery is sealed behind motherboard, it's not possible to replace as you would need a whole new motherboard if you accidentally break it.

Stop worrying about how long it takes to charge, take a look at the Anandtech website review for HTC One M8, look at the graph chart comparing charging rate with other phone, it's very similar but just slightly slower than others.

Charging your phone faster than intended will harm your battery life, just be happy and get used to it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Forgive my ignorance, but how would that affect charge rate?

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ----------

That is going to vary from one user to another, due to varying degrees of idle battery usage; which in turn depends on your specific reception quality (poor network reception results in battery drain), features turned on (WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) and background syncing of apps, email, etc.

In reality, the phone will always take longer to change while on versus turned off, since its always going to consume some degree of power even while idle. But if your idle battery usage is rather low, the effects of that may be relatively minor.

For example, my idle battery usage is around 2% per hours. If it takes around 2 hours to "fully" charge (I almost never drain to empty of even, but charge frequently) then the idle battery usage during that time is 4%. Just rounding numbers off to simplify the math, if it takes 2 hours to charge 100%; then that means charge rate is 120min/100% = 1.2 min per percent. Which means the "additional" charge time needed to offset the idle battery usage is 1.2min/percent * 4% = 4.8 min. Therefore, for this example, the "extra" charge time for on (idle) versus off is less than 5 minutes. Again, the math is simplified, but that's pretty close.

Now, if your idle battery usage is higher (and I know folks are always commenting about high battery drain during the day) than that means your charge times are going to be impacted much more, resulting in longer charge times on versus off.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inferol:
Never said that it would affect the charge rate. It's just that HTC changed the charging rate to be slightly slower than other devuces because battery is not user friendly replacement and it will help to keep the battery performance to remain consistent throughout the years. You can however use quickcharge to charge faster but I'm talking about the origianl OEM charger is optimised to keep the battery performance for years

All I'm saying is the charging rate is very similar with other devices, just don't bother trying to achieve fastest charging rate, you may do more harm to your battery than having quick burst of energy to 100%.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I see its a case of improper punctuation.

It should have read:

HTC is known for slower charging rate. Because battery is sealed behind motherboard, . . .
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GLO:
Thanks guys, for your replies.

My question arose from reading various articles on fast charge 2.0 and poor battery life since upgrading to Lollipop.

Some articles suggest a better gauge cable will maximise charge rate, which led me to leaning that a sync cable has its own limitations to, that can be overcome by earthing the centre pins to disable the sync component and allow for higher charge rate.

I picked up the Bolse 7 port Charger with Smart IC which is supposed to detect the maximum charge rate and stop charging when 100%

Recently I picked up the PortaPowa charging cable which has a larger gauge cable.

That being said, if the device is off, then the Bolse charger may not be able to detect which device it is. If the device is on, then maybe it could detect the device type and as such charge accordingly.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Not sure, but I believe the charge rate is determined by the battery (smart circuitry on the battery itself), not the device; and therefore may not matter if he device is on or off.

If you think about it, there must be some charging management going on while the device is off. Otherwise, charging while off would not work properly at all.

All Li ion chargers stop charging at 100%, otherwise the battery would overheat and catch fire or explode.
