The HTC Desire and Nexus one on Cyanogen Mod both allow you to adjust gamma settings via software. So this can definitely be corrected. All it requires is additional dev magic and a dab of patience. :)
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
That's interesting,i hope someone is working on color temperature too.
[Captivate General] ricethief:
Somebody else mentioned it but "manufacturer tolerance" is what causes this. It would be possible to make them all exactly the same, but the costs of the device would go up significantly. Usually the difference is so minute that most people never notice.

You see the same thing with mass produced digital projectors and tvs. If you were to take 10 new projectors of the same model and line them up side by side you would find not all the pictures were exactly the same. Due to manufacturer tolerance some may be slightly brighter or dimmer and colors may be a little more vibrant on another.

Blue Tint

Yes, Super Amoleds are coming in all forms of Tint. Some are lucky to get nice warm whites. Other people get green, blue, greenish blue, or even yellow tints.

:D:confused::)

maybe even pink tint like the amoled on zune hd:mad:

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbbblack:
Hello devs.. i am trying to use adb while im in the clockwork recovery screen to remove some apps and some unwanted audio files. Everything is ok as far as being rooted and getting a number sign and the adb commands. The issue im having is that i cannot cd to the app folder. I can cd to the system folder and sdcard folders with no problem. But when i cd into the system, and then i use the list command "ls" to show me what im working wit it says app. But when i try " cd /system/app or cd /app " it says directory doesnot exist. Is there something im doing wrong here? I have installed, removed, pushed and pulled many apps using abd perfectly and i am not a noob.. but it seems like its a whole new ball game when it comes to the slide.. the super user tasks managers no longer work, a dev named roman told me they no longer work and i would have to use adb in clockwork recovery mode to execute any changes to the phones files. But im stuck at this point. Any suggestions? Also i have tried to remove the files directly with a command like " adb rm /system/app/Gallery3D.apk or rm /system/app/Gallery3D.apk" with no results. Is there a way using adb to delete the contents of an entire directory without deleting the directory itself? Thanks in advance devs

This is kind of a cross post from the Apps forum, but I am getting no response there. CM6 uses a different music app than the stock HTC player, and the stock player works with the included headphones that have the control buttons. Which ROM can I steal the HTC player from and push back to my phone?

You could try to push the HTCMusic app from the OTA update. But I think it might be odexed so you might run into a problem. I haven't checked it out yet

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomadrider123:
Do you think it's best to do it from clockwork recovery? What I have been doing is just doing a delete from inside the rom with win rar before installing.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epeets:
You can use Android Commander which also works for the slide. You just need to be in recovery with both your system and cache mounted so it will make changes otherwise it'll look like it did on the computer but actually when you restart the program you find it did nothing. lol Don't forget to open the program with Administrator Rights. I think the program makes things much easier.

[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] jrummy16:
Use at your own risk! I am not responsible for any bricked devices. You have been warned.

I have only tested this on a droid 1 so if any brave soul uses it shoot me some feedback.

Theme Loader is a script that installs custom themes for any rooted device. I wrote it because I saw some terrible instructions on how to load themes for devices that didn't have a custom recovery yet. This script should work on any device and I hope it's useful for those who do not yet have a custom recovery or who just choose to use this.

Theme Loader Script:

----------------------

----------------------

(right click and save)

Install the script:

** note: must have busybox installed **

1. Download load_theme

2. Place load_theme on the root of your sdcard

3. Download a terminal emulator app from the market

4. Open terminal and type:

su
** mount system read/write here (need command for specific device) **
cp -f /sdcard/load_theme /system/xbin
chmod 0755 /system/xbin/load_theme

Load a theme:

1. Place all the files you want to install in a directory called "new_theme"

** for a template of how it should look like download the zip below **

2. Place the directory new_theme on the root of your sdcard

3. In terminal or adb shell type:

su
load_theme [options]

4. Watch as your new theme installs.

load_theme options:

Usage: load_theme [-a|-b|-c|-f|-fs|-m|-l|-r|-z|-v|-h]

Options:
-a | --apps Installs themed apps
-b | --backup Backs up current system settings
-c | --complete Installs full theme
-f | --framework Installs framework
-fs | --fonts Installs fonts
-l | --logging Disable logging for this run
-m | --media Installs media files
-r | --restore Restores system backup
-z | --zipalign Zipaligns all apks
-v | --version Print version
-h | --help This help

Always specify options as separate words
e.g. -a -f instead of -af. Its required!

Examples:

This will install the full theme and turn off logging:

su
load_theme -l -c

This will zipalign all your apps and backup your system:

su
load_theme -z -b
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] marsha12151:
Well, I followed the directions and had a successful backup. Worked perfectly. Excellent job!

[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] djh816:
rummy, is does this just copy a framework or copy all images from one into the other? (in other words, does this require a droid 2 specific theme?)
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] KalenXI:
I got this when I tried to load a theme, the only file in the theme was /sdcard/new_theme/framework/framework-res.apk:

odd... Looks like you don't have busybox installed because those are all busybox commands that look to be missing. But.... I put a pre-req check in the script to check for busybox so that's weird. Do you have busybox installed?

JRummy, I am getting the same errors and as far as I know busy box is installed. (all the cp commands worked fine as did titanium backup

Can someone help me out with the 4g issue or link me to a thread that discusses the connected but not working aspect?

[Captivate General] eatkabab:
I believe I've always had this issue on all three of my Android phones. When I go into Google Voice to play back my messages, the volume is always on max, but the playback is still very low. Across all phones (two captivates and a cliq), volume is low regardless of ear-piece or speaker.

Is there any way to increase this volume?

Thank you to all the ultra wise for all your assistance and hard work to make android what it is today.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
The Google Voice default is to playback through earphone rather than speaker phone. Hold the phone to your ear or change it to playback through speaker phone.
[Captivate General] eatkabab:
Yes I know this. As I explained above, the volume is low when played back through ANY speaker on the phone. This could be indicative of a software limit on the app maybe...

The volume is so low that unless I'm in an almost silent environment, its difficult to hear anything. The transcriptions aren't quite helpful just yet, but I've noticed them getting better.
[Captivate General] Ikonomi:
I had this problem today. The message was SO quiet that I could not make out what my friend was saying.

Google Voice needs a few tweaks, like the option to switch to speaker on the fly.
[Captivate General] eatkabab:
I understand you wouldn't want to set it to playback on the speaker by default, but if you hit the button to the right of the seek bar while its playing, it switches to the speaker phone. Still a bit difficult to hear. even if you put it directly on your ear.

I would say one of the best things about this phone is that you can hit speaker phone and flip it over and use it as a regular phone. That way you have a SUPER loud ear-peace. Good for clubs/concerts/loud places... but not loud enough for my damn messages :(

Hi

Does anybody know if there is a app for the tg01 that does the following.

When I launch opera or internet explorer I have to select my wireless network first and then launch the browser.

On my wife's Nokia 5800 when you launch the web browser you get a popup that asks you if you want to use wifi or normal mobile internet.

Is there anything like this on the tg01 ? it seems so much easier that having to launch wifi and then launch the browser.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Bjd223:
I know the player is right around the corner...yada yada, yada...but I have been hearing that for a while already.

Apparently there is a Linux based device (ROKU) which streams Netflix fine.

http://www.hackingnetflix.com/2008/07/roku-has-posted.html

Would it be possible to take that source code, plus maybe a system dump of the device to port the player to an Android phone?

I am not sure how 'deep' the DRM is intergrated into the device, or if it just sits on top of the OS. Anyone interested in looking at this. I am 1) not smart enough to make it work 2) have no time.

What is the best way to prevent the "'Death Grip" I live on outlining area of 3g and i can death grip my phone from 5 bars down to 0. Currently i have a Silicone Case but it makes it bulky and doesn't slide in and out of my pocket easy. I would like to find a battery cover thats different (like the carbon-fiber things) but avoid the "death grip". Any suggestions?

I saw this its clear but looks bulky
[Vibrant Accessories] darkknight49:
Quite holding the phone so tightly would be my first suggestion.

[Vibrant Accessories] spigatelli:
I have the black T mobile case, but it is kind of bulky.

One question though, Have you ever really dropped a call or had the 3g drop when you have the "deathgrip"?

The reason I ask, is that is seems that our phones show no bars when we still have plenty of signal. It happens to me quite frequently that I will have no bars showing, but I make calls and surf the web just fine.
[Vibrant Accessories] Randel77:
yeah I get the death grip thing too. I haven't got my case yet but the tpu cases are usually the thinest and aren't rubbery so its easy to get the phone in and out of your pocket. You can find them for about ten bucks on amazon or three dollars on ebay.
[Vibrant Accessories] Randel77:
btw i've never dropped a call with this phone at all. but the grip will take my two-three bars 3g to one - zero bars on edge.:(
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
I have had two dropped calls and both of them are when my phone has been in my left hand, with my unlocked i phone i didn't have dropped phone calls in the area that i had this. So this leads be to believe this was because of this however it could have just been bad weather , high call rate in that area or just plain dark forces at work HA. I just think this is a sexy thin phone however at the same time i want to take care of it.

There is an app called Real signal which shows you the correct signal strength. I can sometimes have no bars showing and the app will show three, go figure. All being said this phone gets way better reception than my g1 did, but thats just me.
