Wow...even more improvement possibilities! Modding this phone seems endless! :D
[Nexus One Android Development] sharkonland:
Yeah, I seriously believe we could improve display performance with some tweaks. I noticed that on the iphones 2g,3g,3gs and 4g, the screen kept changing color and it really did make a difference. Like the 3g screen seemed a bit yellow and 3gs was more natural and they kept on improving.
[Nexus One Android Development] elmerendeiro:
I would like to hear some dev's opinion because I think it's pretty hard to modify video drivers, as we are seeing in the "porting video drivers" thread...so I'm not too optimist...but let's see what happens
[Nexus One Android Development] wrinklefree:
As a pro video calibrator I would LOVE to have an app that allows me to change the RGB levels so I can set the grayscale. :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Vakman:
I will watch this thread with great interest. Here is to hope.
[Nexus One Android Development] bedwa:
I think the start is with the rendering tweaks that is being used in cm6. Where that is, I have no clue on the technical specifications..... Sorry.
[Nexus One Android Development] knightnz:
How many of the issues are hardware related though? They're certainly not going to be updating those.

I'm pretty sure I read that article a few months ago, Google appear to be quite reluctant to do anything specific to the N1 and prefer to just keep trucking along with the generic AOSP development. If anything that can be done is going to happen, it'll be due to the clever developers on this and other forums.

The N1 display looks like it's permanently in store-presentation mode, very sharp and contrasty, unfortunately it's not very realistic. If changes can be made in software to improve things, that'd be great, but I doubt it'll be Google doing it.
[Nexus One Android Development] yourtravelboy:
grayscale

Would it be possible to have a setting to make the entire display grayscale instead of color? If so, would this then allow us to punch up the brightness past it's default levels? Battery life is not my concern. Seeing my screen in the bright sun is though :)
[Nexus One Android Development] storm99999:
Alright, I checked it out using the patch that enables nightvision mode in later CM builds, a calibration profile can most likely be done. I'll get my colorimeter tomorrow and use changing linear transformations to turn one of the modes into a calibrated profile. It's up to Cyanogen whether or not it should be added "officially," but I can just overwrite salmon or something and post an update.zip in the meantime if I can get it to work.

Lowering the contrast (and calibrating for that matter) will lower the total colors that can be rendered, so you'd have to keep that in mind. I'm not sure if the screen is 16 bit minimum (at the lowest brightness and thus the more detail the brighter it is) or 16 bit maximum (at highest brightness) as darkening the "backlight" would just narrow the gamut on the device, anyone know? The gamut may already be too narrow to justify a LUT, but I'll see soon.

From what I know, the system is capable of 24bit color, but only 16 bit native. You see, OLED displays have really high refresh rates, so they show the color above and below the target in the right ratios to trick the eye. I don't think the system does these calculations when it expects the screen to move, too high a load, and that's why tapping on the screen in the browser changes colors. This is probably just the application using the wrong settings with regards to it.

The pentile matrix can show fonts really nicely if it has the right font hinting. I've heard that it doesn't, however. I'm not sure where you'd find the best place to go about that, but it's probably out of the kernel and thus outside of my knowledge..

Edit: heavily edited for cleanliness and new knowledge.
[Nexus One Android Development] elmerendeiro:
Great contribution Storm...do you think we can correct issues noticed in FIGURE 1 (nexus vs iphone comparison) ? It would be AWESOME :eek:...

Maybe should I open a similar thread on cyanogenmod?

we all doubt it...that's why we're unlocking FM radio and add 720p recording...N1 could really have been the iphone killer if Google did the job ENTIRELY...but really seems that N1 is an unfinished prototype, combine this with huge errors (no marketing and online-only distribution) and you have a partial failure, I know it's sad to say...

Still love my N1!
[Nexus One Android Development] storm99999:
Well, it looks like the calibration profile is going to be [1, .98, .69] [R,G,B] or thereabouts. Can anyone test the temperature with their own calibrator? I'm getting 9300K when we want 6500K, the website noted earlier got 8900K. I'd like a few more test results but I can work with just my own.

I'm going to edit the files and try it out on my phone here soon enough. I can, if I can modify by-pixel colors, calibrate it to a 2.2 gamma, which would lower battery usage and the overly contrasty and cartoony colors significantly. It'll take a while though if it's even possible.

Anyone know any good apps that just show a specified RGB value across most or all the screen?

Edit: Alright, there are two calibration profiles, one for the lowest brightness, one for the highest. The values I'm getting (for the code junkies) are [1, green, .82] for bright screens, and [1, green, .80] for dark screens. The problem is that the level of green is pretty subjective. I can't measure it without doing extensive calculations, but comparing it to my calibrated monitor, .98 or .99 seems good. 1.00 should be ok, as .98 will add banding.

I'll upload the libsurfaceflinger.so with the modified profile for people to test in another thread (to be linked once I make it here)
[Nexus One Android Development] wrinklefree:
This is awesome! I will certainly test tonight with my X-rite i1 Pro meter. Just curious, where are you getting the IRE images from?
[Nexus One Android Development] storm99999:
As of now, I don't have IRE images. I just calibrated the white point, and even then, kinda inprecisely. Your data and inputs are valued, but I can't do anything more than a linear equation on the pixels. Currently, I keep red as it is, multiply green by .98, and multiply blue by .82 . It's not accurate, but it's close, and it uses less power. The gamma is still skewed to hell though.

Hi there,

I've got a problem with non-Sense roms:

with none of them works the browser text reflow. I've tried open desire, setrom and defrost and in none of them does it work.

The funny thing is that I have no problems with Senseroms.

I wiped everything several times and tried it even with dolphin but always the same result: nothing.

What could i've done wrong?

Greetz Martin

ps sry for my bad english ;)
[Desire General] Balistyx:
Pretty sure it's a HTC Sense thing, not an Android thing.
[Desire General] le3ky:
you need to double tap on the text once zoomed for it to reflow. its a froyo feature.
[Desire General] keiyuu:
Is there no way that it reflows when I do pinch to zoom?
[Desire General] dipje:
Cyanogen has it in his tree. You have to enable it first though.

But this has always been the Android way: Double-tap to reflow, pinch to zoom without reflowing.

HTC modified their Sense browser to always reflow (which can be quite irritating sometimes).
[Desire General] Kollegah:
This

is

[Desire General] keiyuu:
Thanks for the answers. So cyanogen Is my only chance then? And how Do i enable the reflow there?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spam001:
Hi,

I have updated my unrooted stock ROM to the new 2.2 stock Froyo this weekend (by using the normal system refresh).

I have done a factory reset after upgrading the operating system.

Everything works but the "People widget".:mad: If I click someone it asks for the default action. For example I select "call mobile". After the call the small mobile icon appears for the contact (indicating the default action), but if I select another contact and add a default action again, the default action for the first contact disappears... It asks again for default action when I click on the contact. :(

I have:

-Removed and re-added the people widget from the desktop

-Removed and re added the group (the people widget use)

-Created a new group and added people manually by using the "+" sign of people widget

...none of the above worked.

Please help me what to do.

Thank you for your help in advance,

Andrew

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jalliseburgh:
Resolution

I was having the same issue, but I believe I was able to resolve it. When I logged into Gmail from my desktop pc, I noticed a contacts group called "Starred in Android". I added everyone who's listed in my widget to this group, and that seemed to do the trick. At that point I simply had to set the default action for each contact once, and now my phone remembers it :)

(BTW, I'm not sure this is Froyo-specific, as I seem to recall the same problem before I upgraded).

[Desire General] ricochet69:
Hi Guys,

I recently rooted and put a custom froyo 2.2 rom onto my HTC Desire. In the process i must of lost the backup of the original rom that shipped with the phone. The phone was bought with Vodafone Ireland and the baseband is 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04 . Im not sure but the guide i used to update my phone advised updating the radio (which i think is the same as the baseband). What i want to do is to download an original 2.1 (or 2.2) Rom so i can update to froyo the offical way. Basically the rom i currently have is buggy and i wanted to upgrade/downgrade to 2.1. I dont know what i need to do with my radio version or what difference it makes.

So my questions are:

1. Can someone link me a place i can download original HTC Desire Rom 2.1 so i can restore my phone to normal and upgrade to 2.2 through offical OTA?

2. What difference does the radio make? Why do i need to update that when i install a rom?

Thanks
[Desire General] ricochet69:
oh and also if i put the original rom on it does that undo the rooting? Basically i want a stable version of 2.2 that i will be able to recieve updates in the future through offical methods (OTA)
[Desire General] tasgr86:
i need this too
[Desire General] Flaggie:
Look in the development section, there you can find RUU's those are original roms.
[Desire General] crozuk:
If u get an original ruu and follow instructions to install Froyo will be available for its system update. This includes an updated radio.
[Desire General] ricochet69:
Thanks, Does this get rid of rooting? and do i need to pick a RUU that has the same radio as mine?
[Desire General] Beaverman20:
this "Updates" your desire, making completely stock like, from what i know you have to choose what fits you phone, if it's Hboot .80 or that other one...

it will lock your recovery too...
[Desire General] ricochet69:
hey sorry about all my noob questions but i tried the following page before

"HTC Desire > Desire Android Development > [ROM] Official HTC Desire RUU ROMS and OTA Update URL"

and any of the ones i tried dont seem to work. Is it someting to do with the fact that none of them are the same radio as mine?

Im guessing i should be trying the gsm ones. i tried to install some of the zips through rom manager from GSM HTC OTA Update URLs but they failed.
[Desire General] ricochet69:
by "lock" do you mean that i will never be able to recover again and ya my hboot is .80
[Desire General] ricochet69:
guys,

Can someone please help with this, im really stuck.

[Nexus One General] ManticoreX:
Did you do the Pandora/streaming music audio quality fix? If so that causes your phone to score a lot lower in quadrant. In the benchmark it checks ACC encoding and decoding, and the fix for the audio quality causes those two tests to run significantly slower. Even so, the general speed of the phone is unaffected.

[Captivate General] Clay:
The quick search box is by far the single most annoying thing on this phone. Not a feature I could ever find myself using, even if I knew how to use it properly. If I hit the home or back soft button, at random times it comes up. Some times I have to hit back or home 5 times or more to get back or back to the home screen. Some times it seems like it depends on how you hit the soft keys and sometimes I can not get the quick search box to come up no matter what I do. Am I the only one having this issue? Anyone have any insight on this?
[Captivate General] BignutSquirrel:
The only time it comes up unexpectedly for me is when I touch the magnifying glass by mistake. If your phone is mixing up the buttons you should probably send it back.
[Captivate General] Clay:
After trying my brothers Captivate I found that if I push on the home or back button with any sort of force beyond a light touch the magnifying glass is blinking on my phone, activating the quick search in a handful of programs. Looks like I have a defective phone. Anyone else have this issue?
[Captivate General] jamespaulritter:
My quick search only launches it I top the magnifying glass soft key.
[Captivate General] Croak:
A long press on the Menu key will also bring it up, by design, a carryover from the I9000 since it doesn't have a dedicated search key.
[Captivate General] BignutSquirrel:
@clay I just tried to replicate that but tapping hard on the home and menu keys. There is a creak from the back cover's latch but none of the other buttons activated. I don't see why they would since they are not resistive. Pressure should have nothing to do with it.

So im on an Even More Plus plan (no contract) and Im in a flexpay payment plan. I want to change to a post payment plan so that I can utilize google voice as a voice mail client and a few other things. I keep getting the run around when calling tmobile, some tell me that you cant have a post payment plan off contract and other say you can. I keep getting disconnect (by them not me) when i get someone who says I can mix a post payment with a even more plus.

So perhaps someone here can help me, can you have a post payment plan off contract (Even more plus) ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] islander7:
I am looking for the very same answer. I was on the phone with T-Mobile and they told me I have to wait 6 months before I could even attempt to change my account. My credit is not worthy I am told.

Any further answers on the T-Mobile No Contract Plans is appreciated.

Miss using my Google Voice services directly with my Nexus One on T-Mobile.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willverduzco:
Yes... I am not on a contract on an Even More Plus plan, and I pay at the end of the month.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishrally:
To switch over from flex pay to post paid with the no contract even more plus plan you need to have had your service activated for at least 6 months, your account must be in good standing with on time payments each month, and you have to be on the list they have for people that are eligible to switch (you should be on the list if you meet all the above criteria).

When I called up customer service to make the switch they said that I was not on the list yet because I was in my 6th month of service. They said the only way I could make the switch is if they run a credit check and give me a new phone number. I argued for quite a while that I would not switch my number but would be willing to have a credit check run. I got no where with that so I went to my local Tmobile store.

The people at the tmobile store were very helpful and came up with an elaborate work around that involved them being on the phone with customer service for over an hour. They ran my credit, created a new account for me (with a new number) and set it up on post pain even more plus. Then they canceled my old account, ported my old number to the new account and now I'm good to go.

In hind sight, if I had known it was going to be such a difficult process I would have waited another month to wait for my name to show up on the eligible list (they were pretty sure my name would show up at the beginning of my 7th month of service).

If you are already on the eligible list then the process should be relatively painful. I would recommend going into an actual tmobile store; they seem to have the ability to accomplish many more things, especially in unique situations like mine.

So, yes you can switch from no contract prepaid even more plus to no contract post paid even more plus one way or another so that you can use conditional call forwarding and Google Voicemail.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:

Ok, so on finally getting a rep that speaks clear English I was able to find out that I dont qualify for post pay because my 7 months of perfect payment history don't meet the 6 months requirement.

Why is it that images get displayed pretty ugly without any range of color?

I could reproduce the "effect" in Photoshop by scaling the colors of images down to 256 without any dithering.
