[YotaPhone] SteadyQuad:
I occasionally read a book or a longer text on the EPD of my YP2, usually with the YotaReader app. That works ok, but there's a small issue that annoys me: it's the jagged edges of the characters, which makes the appearance of the text less nice.

Yota uses a black & white only (2 color) mode of the EPD to provide maximum frames per second (8) without flashing, which allows for relatively smooth interaction with the EPD screen. The technique comes in handy when scrolling webpages, turning YotaReader pages without flickering, and many interactive screens, like navigating Apps in mirroring mode. By using dithering the 2 colors are used to simulate grey colors. This works great on pictures, but less well on text.

The EPD can also draw in 16 colors, which is used for the Yota panels screens, and e.g. the YotaSnap picture viewer. With 16 colors, it provides far nicer quality than the 2 color mode, at the expense of slower drawing, extra flashing and no interactive scrolling etc.

Here's an example of the difference in quality between 2 and 16 colors:

2 colors (with dithering):

[IMG="2 colors"]http://i.share.pho.to/2891abb7_l.png[/IMG]

16 colors (possibly also with dithering, but less obvious):

[IMG="2 colors"]http://i.share.pho.to/90d834e7_l.png[/IMG]

(The 16 color photo is a bit blurry, both are actual photos of the screen taken with a cheap macro filter)

Text rendered in 16 colors looks much prettier. I'd like to be able to read a book like that!

I've been thinking for a while about a gesture (like a 3 or 4 finger tap) that would allow the current 2 color screen contents to be re-rendered at 16 colors. So imagine browsing a web page on the EPD, or reading a book and when you're done scrolling/turning a page to a location you actually want to read or look at for longer, you'd make the gesture and the screen would 'beautify' itself into 16 colors. You could not interact with it smoothly anymore at that point, but reading or showing pictures etc would be nicer. Maybe it would be possible to flash the screen and return to 2 color mode when starting to scroll again etc.

Not sure how to go about this, but using xposed it would be possible to hook into the JNI calls that ultimately dither and draw stuff onto the back screen, or maybe at a higher level like the backscreen manager.

There are alternatives, like adapting FBReader for the EPD, with optional 16 color mode, but the gesture solution could in theory apply to anything on the screen, not just a reader app.

Anyone interested to help dig into this?
[YotaPhone] Jeopardy:
I like this idea, but I don't have the time to work on this.

What you are looking for, though, is changing the waveform from one to another: http://mwiki.yotaphone.com/wiki/Waveforms

The class EinkUtils inside the SDK has a lot of interesting methods which are responsible for updating the screen. Maybe using xposed one could switch the waveform on the fly when one of those methods are called, or even do a manual refresh with the desired waveform.
[YotaPhone] SteadyQuad:
Ok! Thanks for the pointer. (I know about waveforms and update modes, but thought it was a bit too technical for a post to gauge interest in such a feature in the YotaPhone General forum.)

My time is limited too, I'll see if I can manage some experiments.
[YotaPhone] Jeopardy:
I wonder if the use of xposed is even necessary? Maybe it would be possible to create some service which would listen for some event, maybe volume up button or something, and that would just refresh the whole screen using the most detailed waveform. Not sure if this is possible, as at least the partial refresh functions wanted a reference to a specific view which is to be updated.. I don't have the API/SDK at hand right now, but one would think that there is some static function for updating the entire screen.
[YotaPhone] Rrreutel:
the backscreen framebuffer always contains a 16grey bitmap, so I fooled around with the epd sysfs interface (/sys/kernel/epd) to re-render the screen with different parameters, but no definite success so far. I can flash the screen that way and make it redraw, but not with 16 cols. For activation I was going to snoop how e.g. three finger tap is handled (configurable for sleeping) probably in windowmanager class. (not near a pc right now either).
[YotaPhone] SteadyQuad:
Using the EPD kernel interface you can make the screen update like this, but it doesn't seem to actually change the waveform/number of colors.

root@yotaphone2:/ # echo 2 > /sys/kernel/epd/waveform

root@yotaphone2:/ # echo 51 > /sys/kernel/epd/update_mode

root@yotaphone2:/ # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/epd/updateImage

The update modes:

UPD_INIT 50

UPD_FULL 51

UPD_FULL_AREA 52

UPD_PART 53

UPD_PART_AREA 54

The waveforms:

WF_MODE_INIT 0

WF_MODE_DU 1

WF_MODE_GC16 2

WF_MODE_GL16 3

WF_MODE_GLR16 4

WF_MODE_GLD16 5

WF_MODE_A2 6

WF_MODE_DU4 7
[YotaPhone] Jeopardy:
So what it does in practice is it draws each view using its own waveform, which makes sense. According to wiki the default waveform for a view is A2, which is black and white.

There is a method called EinkUtils.setViewWaveform(anyView, waveform) which can be used to set the waveform for any given view, and that is what needs to be overridden before calling refresh. That sounds like a job for xposed. Maybe the constant of WAVEFORM_A2 could be momentarily switched to WAVEFORM_GC_FULL and back or something? Then the individual views could remain untouched.
[YotaPhone] staphoent:
how do i do this//access the kernel? And how can i set the waveform for all views to A2? My YP2 is rooted. regards

In less than a decade the cameras in our smartphones have become so advanced that many people choose not to buy traditional cameras at all. Of course, people still want high-quality images. These days nobody wants to settle for less than great. Neither do we.

So Here is the new Snapdragon Camera v2

Features: To Know about features visit*

https://www.qualcomm.com/news/snapd...a-features-add-dslr-effects-your-mobile-phone

Download link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347804681

Guys this camera app is probably the best camera you can use for the g2! I'm currently using it on the dirty unicorns rom and used it as well on inazuma rom and the quality is absolutely fabulous especially with chromaflash!

Just wanted to share and see what your thoughts are as well

Method: Thanx to 60nine

(using ES file explorer)

1. extract the zip to sd card somewhere

2. under "system/priv-app" > create a folder called "SnapdragonCamera"

3. give the folder "drwxr-xr-x" permissions

4. copy "SnapdragonCamera2.apk" to that folder and give it "-rw-r--r--" permissions

5. copy the "lib" folder (from the zip you've extracted) to "SnapdragonCamera" folder and give it the same permissions as the parent folder has ("drwxr-xr-x")

6. inside the "lib" folder there is also "arm" folder (give it the same "drwxr-xr-x" permissions)

7. inside that "arm" folder there are two ".so" files - give them "-rw-r--r--" permissions

8. reboot

Method 2:

1: Flash through twrp

2: extract zip file and install apk manually in the system > private app folder

3: No need for applying permissions

http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/themes-apps/flashable-snapdragon-camera-v2-t3189685

Thanx to [MENTION=5403922]wulsic[/MENTION] for providing us an easier zip file!

i've just tried to flash both original zip from the thread and resigned one - none of them works in stock 30f LG G2 rom by somboons... (it flashed through twrp, but they don't exist in the rom)

have you flashed the zip through twrp or copied files directly from the zip (+changing permissions)

After flashing through twrp Open the zip file go to system than private-app and install the apk manually it should work

i have to say it's a nice camera and i've used quite a few camera apps so far...

at the first glance - photo quality is the same as with the xdabbeb camera, but i like the UI better...

my device details:

- LG G2 (d802) running somboons stock 30f lollipop rom

- dorimanx kernel (v5.9.2 latest)

- xdabbeb camera and advanced drivers installed

Interesting bug - the app makes it look like my display has subpixel errors, not even one, check the circled parts (plus another red one on the upper left side.. they can be seen when zoomed in). I was scared when I looked at it, but there's nothing wrong with my display, not even in the stock camera app. Has anyone else noticed this?

yep, it looks like you have dead pixels, but you don't...

it's visible only on screenshots and while taking a picture...

[Verizon LG G3] rkirk:
I'm on Vzw prepaid and recently bought a brand new Droid Turbo on Swappa. And I'm am really liking it, pretty good phone, BUT.... I soon figured out I can't talk & surf at the same time. My previous phone was a LG G2 and was able to do both anytime. I use my phone a lot for work, talking on Bluetooth or speakerphone and emailing. I have been very disappointed with this now and have been considering changing phones, I could maybe change to At&t and use this phone on their GSM network where they allow it, however I do like Vzw great coverage.

I think I've heard the LG G4 won't allow talk & surf too, but what about the G3. Can someone tell me, does the G3 allow talk & surf. I did like the G2, I want a phone with a good camera too as I use it also for work. My phone is half my job, so its important to me for it to keep up.

Thanks for any advice

[AT&T LG G3] Yoshi_Guy:

[AT&T LG G3] Yoshi_Guy:
Did you do a dirty flash or a clean flash? Also, did everything work after the initial crash?
[AT&T LG G3] Yoshi_Guy:
Hmmm. (Don't mean to sound mean) but are you sure you're running the D850 variant? This shouldn't happen if the right partition scheme is present for the correct G3 variant. Let me know how another download goes!
[AT&T LG G3] huzefaonline:
Did a clean flash. the initial setup worked perfectly but as it ended, the error popped up that trebuchet has stopped responding. however, i am able to drag the notification panel from the status from where i can go to the settings area. surprisingly, the error does not pop up there.

Yes sir, i am using the D850 version. using jedi's aosp rom from this section at the moment.
[AT&T LG G3] Yoshi_Guy:
Hmm. I'm not sure I understand the issue; do you mean that the crash only happens one time or that the crash happens multiple times? Also, were you using the jedi kernel at the time or the included kernel? The 777jon kernel works best with my ROM I have found.
[AT&T LG G3] huzefaonline:
the crash error does not come when in settings. as soon as i exit the settings, the error pops up again. first flashed the rom with Nebula kernel and then it was the included kernel.
[AT&T LG G3] Yoshi_Guy:
Okay, thanks for the report! For now, I recommend going into Settings/apps/all/Trebuchet. Then clear the app's data and see if that fixes it. If not, I recommend installing another launcher to see if that will work.
[AT&T LG G3] huzefaonline:
I've done that already. didn't work. How can i install another launcher while being in settings only?

What i've figured out is that i will install a gapps package that has google now launcher so i can switch launcher in home settings option. will see if it works.
[AT&T LG G3] Yoshi_Guy:
O.K. Let me know if this works. Just curious, but which GApps did you flash? I flashed BaNkS gapps, and i had no problems.
[AT&T LG G3] huzefaonline:
i flashed quite a number of different packages with each new clean flash, which included the Banks gapps. none worked.
[AT&T LG G3] Yoshi_Guy:
Weird. I have flashed this multiple times; everything worked. Really sorry about your luck! I did notice on the PAC github that Trebuchet (the main launcher) was updated within a few hours, so I'll commit that update to my next build. Thanks for testing! :)
[AT&T LG G3] huzefaonline:
ok. now this is very very strange. with all the steps that i was doing and repeating previously for flashing rom, i did it again and it worked. i am finally on PAC-ROM :D The weird part is that i am not even using google launcher from the new gapps downloaded, i am on trebuchet, the same trebuchet that was not responding earlier in the day. Anyways, my luck worked this time :)

i wanted this so badly for quite some time. i am glad you bought PAC-Rom up for D850 users. Thank You Yoshi :good:
[AT&T LG G3] Yoshi_Guy:
Glad to hear mate! I am, funnily enough, building an updated PAC-ROM right now. You can try it if you have any more issues with Trebuchet. :P
[AT&T LG G3] huzefaonline:
ok. btw, encountered the same issue again when i deleted google launcher. trebuchet worked fine with another launcher present and as soon as i deleted google launcher, trebuchet stopped responding. i flashed gapps again to make it work, installed Nova and deleted both trebuchet and google launcher.

Stock 5.1.1 recently flashed onto my n7 2012 after a while of not playing around with all the custom ROMs. About a year because my Nexus 5 took over as daily driver.

I was on 5.1.1 stock and was desperate.... then I tried couple or ROMs luckily one of them was Chroma. It is not as fast as 4.4.4 but ALMOST as fast. I also use M kernel and that way I can overclock a bit. Really, it is not as fast as 4.4.4, only a BIT slower sometimes, I will not lie or exaggerate, but it makes N7 usable again! I dunno about other ROMS, tried Cyanogenmod and it wasn't stable. THen I found Chroma, and I never changed. Really stable and fast. Also supports LAYERS, so you can customize if you're into that....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] testdasi:
My Atom Life has a Windows/Start button that by default points to the start menu. I, however, do not use the start menu that much. As a result, I tried to use AE Button to change the start button to no avail. Detail as below:

When I use AE button to add button the first time, it shows 00FC. If I map anything to this code, it runs well but the start menu also pops up.

When I use AE button add button the second time (still pressing the start button), it shows 405B. Mapping anything to this button (like task, note, etc.) works perfectly, except that the other buttons mapped by AE button does not work (damn).

I tried almost every combination of binding/unbinding but to no avail.

Is there a way to do it? I would greatly appreciate your help. Thanks a ton.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] testdasi:
I got it

I tried the only thing I have not tried. I used AE Button Plus in addition to Vito Buttonmapper 4.0

1. Bind 00FC to another function (e.g. Ok/close)

2. Unbind 405B

3. Use Vito Buttonmapper to remap other keys.

Is there another way? Cuz both these things are kinda expansive.
