Statement from team Helix:

Recently we ventured out and collaborated with another developer which unfortunately didn't work out in the end.

We will not go into detail or explanation on why, we are bigger than that and feel it in no way helps to start throwing accusations backwards and forwards.

But let us be very clear on a few things:

- We are starting devs and during our collaboration yes there was stuff deleted but this was done by accident, this however happened before we decided to stop working together.

- We do NOT steal other dev's work nor do we have any intention of using any further code from other developers without their consent.

We trust the community can make up it's own mind as we all know every story has two sides and a social platform we feel is not the place to vent. Please support any developper on XDA in the future as they all need your support.

Thank you very much!

Does anyone know how to make the link for "Office Mobile" to appear under programs. It shows up on the Start menu but I cant find out what link it uses so they are grouped together under programs.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] madmaso:
Depending on what you want to do, I can see two ways to go about this.

1.) go into Settings/Personal/Menus and uncheck "Office Mobile". This will take the link out of your Start Menu and place it back into "Programs".

2.) if you don't want to remove it from the Start Menu but want to see it under "Programs" as well, use a file explorer and go into \\Windows\Start Menu\ and copy the "Office Mobile" directory into \\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\. This directory contains shortcuts that point to the Office programs, so you're just adding another shortcut.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jwzg:
When flashing the ROM , there is a .provxml file that forces deletion of all other Office links and puts them into the folder on the start menu. If you are familiar with kitchens, the .provxml file is in the SYS/Office folder.

[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eng.3aref:
Hello everyone,

So recently I'm considering a new phone as my current daily driver is very old (Samsung Galaxy Grand Gt-i9082).

Among the phones I'm considering is a used LG V10, with a very good price, I examined the phone and it seemed in very good shape externally, and I feel in love with it as it felt great in my hand.

now I've never bought a used phone before and I don't know what to check in a used phone before buying it, can you guys help me figure out how to decide whether this is a good deal or not? like what do I need to check before I buy it? and what do I need to be concerned about?

In the same price range, I am offered a new Sony Xperia XA Ultra or a LG Nexus 5X (16 gb model). Do you think the LG V10 is the best choice over these two especially that I'm getting it for a similar price?

Thank you in advance.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LineArc:
First of all v10 is better than ur other options. Nexus is always good but 16 is no go. Now since you have already seen v10, if it is clean from outside it probably is good from inside. But still u have to check thoroughly. First of all check essentials like wifi, Bluetooth, display (for dots), speaker, cameras, mic and earphone. Now download and install as many benchmark apps as possible, run each one of them one by one, if there will be any thing fishy with the 'soc' the set will shutdown or go mad, now after all test check the phone details in any of the benchmark apps, details about hardwares. By this time u r almost done but it is obvious no one can check a phone in an hour or couple. So try to take money-back warranty of atleast 24hrs to be on the safe side, if phone is OK the shopkeeper will happily agree but sometimes they will not. And last but not least I will try to give you some other options;

1, nexus 6

2, note 4

3, lg g4

4, oneplus 2

Hope I have helped you. Thanks

Check this out, I'm not saying its a cure all but it helps

Under what settings?

Accessibility
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] leyvatron:
You can manually adjust it. [emoji1] Nice find.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mrwinkle13:
Glad you like
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] @rbiter:
Thanks. But where do we put it to get close to 6500k ±500. I say ± 500 because some like a slightly cooler screen and some prefer it warmer, and warmer is actually more natural and accurate. I've played around with it a few minutes and the 9000K is just too cool. Comfort view on medium without using this is closest I've gotten to a desired (actually more desirable, but still not ideal) color temp. Every body chime in where they're putting the circle cursor that they gives close to 6500k or thereabouts.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mrwinkle13:
For those who don't know what comfort view is
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] @rbiter:
OK. Still playing with it but I think I have it close. With comfort view OFF, the screen was way too cool still. I was running medium comfort view already. I turned off comfort view and still couldn't find a happy place. So I turned it back on. I think some people will like it on medium if you like it a little cooler, and out it on high if you want it a little warmer and try it where I put my green circle at. YMMV though because who knows if LG sourced the same supplier, much less type of screen since this screen calibrated to crap for a very very flagship price. Let me know and see what you guys come up with.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] wing_addict_usa:
Still hurts my eyes. I'm so used to my note4 still
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] koppee1:
Hmm.. Am I the only one who likes comfort view off? I'm coming from the note 7v and I still like it off. Why again do people want less blue? I find my screen whites to be really white with comfort view off. Why is that a bad thing? Lol
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ElBeaner:
Used your pic as a guide and got it to a point I'm comfortable with
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] @rbiter:
Because your colors and gamma are fubar'ed really bad. You want some semblance of color accuracy for the pictures you take. They look horrible and i mean absolutely horrid looking at the pics taken on the phone. You have to transfer them to a more accurate display to see what you have. There are other more important reasons, but they are rare. And there are less important reasons that I don't care to mention. And as is, the kelvin being so high will probably mess with your sleep patterns. Before and during. And then you have the problem of you and others seeing the same images but you might look like a fool when discussing the color of something. And then there is the fact, you should expect a somewhat decently calibrated display, especially from a company that specializes in displays. Samsung, lg and sharp should have calibrated displays ootb. They should also off some kind of CMS or at least presets to cater to people like you who don't expect a quality display and shrug it off as nothing and desirable. You are in the minority by far. Even apple who has nothing to with manufacturing displays pays a slight premium to have their displays calibrated before the phone is sold. At the very least we should be getting displays in the 6-7000k range which is ±500K from 6504K and a gamma of ±.2-.3 from 2.2. also, it would be nice to get a LCD than can display blacks lower than .02 luminance with lower brightness and less than .030 with higher or max brightness but that last part is more wishful thinking and reality dictates that around .04±.005 is more reasonable to expect. I wonder if some manufacturers goes out on a limb and makes a FALD display. It's feasible but would probably add too much thickness to a phone even if 1cm thick phones were the norm.

As an aside, I wish more phones were about 1cm thickness to accommodate bigger batteries, designs with passive cooling in mind like some recent Samsung flagships, better drop handling and quality control because everything is so crammed sometimes engineering doesn't take into consideration how everything will act in the real world in consumer hands. Thicker phones would give engineers more wiggle room to make better phones with bigger batteries and probably more innovation would come out instead of being held back or dropped altogether. I think many consumers have any idea the implications and far reaching depths of the tango phone. It is stuff like that that will make navigating easier among other things. And when holograms are in everybody's house tango phones will surely be a contributing factor into the foundation of the quality of those holograms. For now some of the data will probably be repurposed for VR.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Skripka:
Thing to bear in mind...

Just about no one IRL owns a color accurate display. Further just because they do in no way means their OS properly utilizes it. Windows of all flavors has for years has been renowned for this. Web browsers also almost all fail at color management too.

People live to squawk about accurate colors, tbh despite their best efforts, only photogs really ever pull it off whereas lay consumers almost never do.

Who on XDA owns a colorimeter? I rest my case.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] @rbiter:
Lol. Wrong. Samsung TVs are known for their color accuracy ootb. I calibrated my laptop display. Haven't bothered calibrating my Samsung JS9500 with tools and just used a disk because it only needed minor adjustment.

Photographers aren't the only one. Studios that make movies use calibrated displays. Professional calibrators use calibrated, and some even bring smaller monitors to show their customers what it will look like since the average consumer doesn't know how much it will affect what they're used to and the calibrator wants the customer to know what they're getting and not have to deal with angry customers who have no clue. And as I mentioned, I left some leniency on the color temp 6504K ±500 should suffice. The pics I've taken on my v20 look like garbage until I made the adjustments. Wouldn't you expect some reasonable color accuracy from your phone display? Especially phones that cost $600+? I definitely expect it from the v20 being an $800 phone. For those that night the pixel, pixel xl and 256GB iphone should expect no less than very very minor deviations. And colorimiters and spectrometers aren't too expensive for decent brands and can get a lot of noise as tv ages or hook up their friends. Light meters otoh can get expensive quick. The cheap ones aren't worth using on an amoled or FALD display. A cheap one would work with most smartphone displays just fine unless you're measuring below .02 I believe.

Is too much too ask for a closely calibrsted display? I mean geez. Smartphone OEM's are already talking about HDR and HDR+ on these small displays. Why jump ahead if you can't get the basics good enough? And it's also amusing some Samsung fanboys were bragging their displays could go over 1000nits. It is very possible that mightve had something to do with the phones combusting. That is a very high draw on the battery and the power circuits and power management. 1000nits would kill your OLED lifespan much more quickly, the longevity of your SEALED battery shortened and could easily bulge the battery sooner than later drawing that much current for a display smaller than 6".

Anyways, I think consumers should expect no less than a 6504K display ±500 and a gamma of 2.2 or close to it. On flagship phones at least. The display used on the v20 should be in less than $400 phone. The blacks even suck. Contrast is decent though but I'm guessing that is because of the 9000K temperature where whites look whiter but in reality they are bluer.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Skripka:
D65 is not the be all end all of accuracy. Stop harping like it is. It is one and only one aspect. You can have a panel with good D65 that still does not reproduce accurate colors. And even on an accurate panels, color output varies across it.

You want to talk accuracy you need to be addressing issues like sRGB versus ARGB, and also presently the LCD panel makers are hoping to force the rec.2020 colorspace (which has a huge range of greens), in order to con you the consumer into replacing your otherwise good monitor. You also need to be addressing not just the panels output but also the colorspace of the content-which is why OS matters-because Windows as stated fails supremely at managing color spaces. Hell most content isn't even managed right to sRGB that has been around for 20+ years as an ISO standard....For a brief while the panel makers were pushing ARGB and "vivid" colors....now with UHD broadcast content they want to force a universe where even sRGB hasn't caught on into rec.2020

Thanks for admitting you don't have a colorimeter. As much as you harp on color accuracy, you only talk the talk and only talk the talk about D65. You have no idea what your colors actually are or if they are accurate be they on your TV or your computer monitor or your phone. Sorry. Thems the harsh facts. Photogs are really the only ones who know about this stuff and walk the walk, all other consumers harp on it--but really they're all talk and no cattle IRL.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] @rbiter:
Well aware of other standards. But is asking for D65 and CMS too much. No. This screen is wack and as mentioned should expect better from a display manufacturer and a flagship phone. Well aware of the other standards tr here trying to push and many OEMs haven't even got the current ones right. If we have passive attitude like yours do you think it will ever be fixed? And yes, photographers are probably the most prominent activists of color accuracy so I'm quite sure they want us to see it on a reasonably somewhat accurate display. We are in the 21st century far from black and white and many years of innovation and improving. I don't think it is much to ask for this especially when they're outsourcing the labor to save pennies.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Skripka:
Capitalism is fundamentally a race to the bottom dollar and highest margin. Making an outstanding product gets in the way. Given how long it has taken for even top shelf professional ridiculously expensive LCD displays to get as good as CRTs like FW900 were 20 years ago...you'll probably be waiting a while.

Come to think of it, does Android as a platform even support CMS? And does Google bake it into the source they send OEMs? And then do any apps actually use it? I'd guess no, no, and no... But but I haven't checked.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BroJack:
Well that was all very informative. Thank you.

All that said, can any of you extremely intelligent experts tell us simple minded ones how that helps to calibrate V20 screen colors?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] @rbiter:
I'm pretty sure android doesn't support CMS baked in. The screens get calibrated at factory to my knowledge. Or not calibrated. Samsung might support CMS somewhere deep in the firmware but as mentioned before they're usually calibrated pretty well ootb and have 3-4 options for modes. One of the modes even caters to people that like cooler screens. Just wishing that LG had implemented something like this in the V20 and not have to use the half baked workaround to get decent color accuracy. Took some pictures of the sunset yesterday with incoming rain clouds and was much happier with what I am using now than previously. And from what I've read, it costs approximately $1-3 USD to calibrate smartphone displays if your phone is manufactured and/or assembled in China. Cuts into profit yes, but I think at least flagships, especially the top tiered camera ones should get it. What's the use of a good camera if the pictures look like crap on the display. Makes editing it to make it more appealing or artistic harder or less desirable, on the smartphone at least in this social media age. I just want my nephew pictures and scenery pictures to look good when I look at them right away. I dont think that is too much to ask for, profits be damned.

Just a thread to help those who want a warmer or more accurate screen. I made a thread about using comfort view to help. The op found a setting in accessibility where you can manually change color profiles or manually change how colors are presented. My picture above was just a starting point for those who decide to use this where I found my screen to be more desireable, easy on the eyes and much closer to color accuracy. Might have to use the xrite on this screen and see if it helps. I am not a pro and between the software and having to use a guide each time is difficult. Just use that green circle, if that is the right color (lol), to get a base line of what you want your screen to look like. You can get a little more punch, cooler, warmer or just off the charts inaccurate colors.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Skripka:
From some cursory reading....with the much maligned G5 LG actually targeted rec.2020 (alias DCI-P3) colorspace.

So far I haven't found any reference to what colorspace the v20's panel was intended to fit. Nor if anyone has tried measuring the screen in anything other than sRGB.Given that they were actually able to ship a rec2020 panel in the previous flagship....their very hot D65 value for v20 is more strange. I mention it as the rec2020 space is MUCH more deep in the blue/green department. Just a hairbrained theory, I don't own a colorimeter to check-but mnaybe the hot screen on v20 comes from calibrating more for rec.2020 as opposed to sRGB/ARGB.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] @rbiter:
By hot do you mean cool? I've read a couple places that put the v20 at 9000K? Am I missing something? I am aware of the new specs and have read a little bit about it and believe my 65" tv can display it bit not sure and haven't dug into it becausey receiver doesn't support the HDMI or display ports specs needed to use it. Going to wait until I decide to upgrade my receiver before learning more about it. Plan on doing that in 2018 at the earliest but not bent on doing it. Plus it gives the whole chain, anybody involved with making the spec all the way to the products that implement more time to finalize it and at least be a generation or two into it before I go about buying new equipment. I just hope they keep the new HDR crap away from earphones for awhile. Because most content with it looks like crap so far. Not all, but a lot.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Skripka:
No I said hot and I meant it ;) "9000K" refers to what in physics is called a blackbody spectra. "9000K" means "9000 degrees Kelvin". See if I take your body and heat it up to 9000 degrees Kelvin, you'll be literally glowing blue. Your body will be so hot it'll glow by itself because it is spitting out its own EM radiation simply because it is friggin hot. Whereas if I take your body and fry it to "only" 6500 degrees Kelvin, you'll glow white. This of course presume your body lasts long enough at those temps to emit light. Ever see molten metal-it glows because it is acting like a blackbody, emitting light on its own hence "white hot" in blacksmith terms.

This "6500 degree Kelvin" convention for white value...it comes about because our Sun is 6500K hot. At that actual real physical temperature, hydrogen (in plasma form) emits white light. It is this white that is the "D65" standard for "white is white". Thus if you are an astrophysicist and look in a telescope and measure the color of a star, you can guess fairly accurately how hot that star is. An orange star is cooler than our Sun, a blue or violet star is much hotter. Thus blue is hotter than white if you are talking light emissions of blackbodies, whereas only if you're a poor street-painter is red warm and blue cold.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] @rbiter:
Hey [MENTION=4388555]Skripka[/MENTION]. I just read that supposedly android 7.0 supports RGB calibration natively but since LG disabled system UI tuner we don't have access to it. I am not 100% sure about the RGB calibration and can't test system UI tuner but if true you think with an xrite and if enough colors and patterns can be used that perhaps root could unlock this and the RGB calibration could make this screen more color accurate at the minimum?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Skripka:
It would...alternatively if/when you/we have the ability to flash alternative kernels, kernel devs can (hopefully) add in patches for RGB control and it can be tweaked from inside Kernel Adiutor or similar GUI frontend.

I was surprised when LG bricked SysUITuner...when early reports came in of very-blue screens...I figured it would be as easy as SysUI Tuner fixing. NO reviewer or previewer mentioned ever that SysUI Tuner was bricked by LG. O'er in Nexus land we've had that UI Tuner for a while and it something you get used to having. My Shamu was typically around 7500K (on that display RGB- 232, 235, 255). It is quite funny actually. Shamu had a 6400-6500K display when released, and

everyone

reviewing it derided it for having yellowy-tinged-whites. Back then the 7500K iPhone/iOS calibration was what people wanted. Fast forward 2 years, now everyone wants D65--not the "old" bluer-iOS calibration.

The blue-ish display might also be a relic of that. There's a 2 year lead time on developing these toys. You see it in the kernel version on v20 release firmware, kernel 3.18.31 dates back 2 full calendar years---it is a very obsolete kernel (note Pixel and PixelXL also uses it). I really wish LG (and Google in Pixel) had at least shipped kernel 4.X, the 4.x+ kernels have tons of features in battery saving and security and are just plain better....so back when they were specing it out, the blue-display might have been well liked so they used it.

PS-On the topic of color and temps....note the FLIR image of my housecat in my avatar (had to borrow and "test" a $3,000USD scientific instrument for this). Kitty (and mammal and other critter) bodies glow in the infrared, we're actually blackbodies emitting IR light...which is what a FLIR camera "sees". In my Kitty's case, the variation you see in (falsecolor) temp is due to Kitteh's fur insulating and obscuring the emitted IR light depending on the thickness of his coat (eyes/nose/ears have less fur so they readout hotter) . Note, our bodies also emit a bunch of other light energy (all the way down to radio)-but not much.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dandroid7:
Fwiw... I installed CF.LUMEN from google play store... Made by the legendary Chainfire.

Under master filter mode, go to temperature settings, I dialed in my color at 5600k and it is much easier on my eyes.

This is a quick simple fix for those trying to dial back the intense blue light of this screen.

I've been trying the free version for the past few days. I like it so far. I will buy the full version if I end up keeping it installed.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] leyvatron:
I found a really good app called color screen filter. It allows you to create 6 different filters and adjust RBG individually.

Now, we can get some good numbers to set our displays.

Post your settings.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] hotstocks:
There is no need for other apps. If you set the comfort view blue filter to low and brightness to 100% it looks pretty damn good. If you use the option another user put up with dragging the circle by the flower petal it even looks slightly better. Overall I am happy with it. I do think the colors should have more punch to them (green, red), but it is an LCD not AMOLED and with those two adjustments it is as good as it is gonna get.
