Yea they say SLCD is crisper but the AMOLED looks normal to me. Maybe a bit blurrier but I kinda like the "soft" touch it gives.

All the time I get compliments from Co-workers about how great the screen looks and how the colors pop. I like the colors pop. I also like how blacks are totally black. I like black themes to save battery on the AMOLED but I also like how only the colored parts are lit up. Looks really great especially in the dark when I play online and stuff before I go to bed.

I hate the jack to be flaky but I don't want to stare at a washed out screen ALL the time.

Do you regret not having AMOLED anymore? Do the colors still pop?
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
search for side by side comparison on youtube. i think it was desire amoled vs slcd....maybe nexus

amoled looked better in that vid due to true black colors which slcd does not have
[Nexus One General] player911:
I know I've looked at a ton of youtube videos and read a ton of threads talking about one or the other. I know the differences on paper but to what extent? The AMOLED screen was one of the major reasons I chose the Nexus One and now getting it replaced under warranty they're swapping to SLCD.

I also read somewhere that they can't swap out different parts like that and if you bought a device with an AMOLED screen then they should swap you out with an AMOLED screen.

Are the SLCD's a lot less vibrant or is it hardly noticeable? What about bleed through around the edges? I seen and heard the Desires have lots of issues with bleed through on their SLCD.
[Nexus One General] pwig:
I just went through the whole swap process and I got two different amoled nexii. Still have never seen an slcd nexus.
[Nexus One General] player911:
hmmm. That would be awesome. You'd think that HTC would have back stock of the Amoled for the warranty repairs.

I just can't see them giving you a different screen then the one you purchased when it is under warranty.

On a side note I was playing with my SquareUp credit card reader last night and it seems to be working fine now after a few resets. So maybe it was a fluke but it still has me worried.
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
Meh, I bought my Nexus one as SLCD and honestly, the only thing I don't like about that screen is the blacks which are more blueish...it's especially ugly in dark environments, but for the rest, the screen is very good and I like how the colors are (I HATE fake colors like the ones displayed on glossy laptop/computer screens which is why I still have my good old Samsung matte screen :D)

As for the recovery, flash amon_RA 1.9 and you're good to go... the recovery works great and there are no issues whatsoever with the ROMs (unless the ones I tried already had updated support for the new hboot and so on)

Good luck :)

PS: Samsung are still jerks for saying that they don't have AMOLEDs to sell anymore >_>
[Nexus One General] player911:
Yea I use amon_RA 1.9 and know of its support for LCD. I'm currently liking the latest CM 6.1 RC1 a lot too, which I know had support for the updated HBOOT.

I haven't had a problem with my audio jack until I got my SquareUp reader in the mail. My first Nexus had a bad Audio jack problem where it always thought it was in headphone mode. So I am leery of my second one going bad. After a reset, last night and all today, the reader is acting as it should. So maybe I am safe.

I use my screen more then my headphone jack. And I think that unless the jack causes the phone to be unusable like my first Nexus, I'll deal with it vs sending it off for warranty exchange... that or simply have mine fixed and go without for a week or so.
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
Is Samsung the only AMOLED manufacturers? Where did Nokia get the AMOLED screens for their new phones?
[Nexus One General] DownloaderZ:
Just got a swap handset. How does one text to see if its amoled or slcd?
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUF4dLVdFKc

Left = AMOLED

Right = SLCD
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
Thank you gravufo for taking the time to post a video that makes it crystal clear :)
[Nexus One General] SBERG117:
In response to the headphone jack, are you sure your using the right connector when plugging headphones in? I had a issue a while back concerning the same thing as far as music stopping and skipping on its own and such. I read up and found out that its due to the connector on the headphones. I attached a pic of what im talking about. The standard headphones that come with the phone have a triple banded connector where alot of aftermarket headphones come with a double banded connector. The double banded connector was the problem. Once i stopped using the double banded connector all headphone jack related problems stopped. Hopefully this helps.

View attachment 434615
[Nexus One General] player911:
Yea I think that is definitely the problem with the headset port. I found some jacks work while others give fits and I suspected that to be the reason. My grief was when I received my SquareUp credit card reader that was finicky to the touch. The reader uses a 3 prong jack pictured above so I was confused.

Fortunately a reset of the phone alleviated the problem.

I still would like to see some really good screens of "before and after" with the Amoled vs SLCD. I think it is really a crap shoot personal because it really comes to personal choice. Some people prefer the crisp text of the SLCD while others prefer the Deep blacks and pop colors.

To the video above, I've seen that and it shows how the backlight plays havoc on the blacks. I would like to see some screenshots or videos comparing common parts of the OS with the phones in a dark environment. Perhaps some solid black images looking for backlight leaks. I know the desire was riddled with 2 in the top right corners that looked nasty in darkened environments.
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
I'd definitely do it but I only have an SLCD version :P

To be honest though I don't think you would notice a lot of difference as to everyday normal use unless you're always in dark environments with dark screens on the Nexus...

It is also known that AMOLED isn't the best type of screen to watch in direct sunlight (that's one of the reason SAMOLED was created), the SLCD version does perform a bit better on that part.

Can't help more than that though ^^

Hopefully, someone here has two Nexus, one of each type ^^

How can I tell which screen my óhönduglega has?

Sent from my Nexus One
[Nexus One General] Zephyron:
So I just had my nexus screen replaced because of a crack then bleedout. I noticed on my new screen, there are no longer those crisscrossing grid lines on the screen that came with the original. I dont think that I have an SLCD screen because when I boot my phone up in a dark room, the black background doesnt light up or have a blue tint like in the youtube comparison video. Anyone know why?
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
I got an SLCD swap version today and I am going to try both out battery wise before sending the AMOLED version back.

Dunno if it's because of the SLCD using more power than AMOLED? but the tempurature got up to 98.7* Fahrenheit while using the Google Navigation + Music while in the car. The old AMOLED version never got above 95* F.

I don't want my batteries overheating so I'll have to keep track of this. If it continues to overheat I'll make sure to get an AMOLED swap sent to me instead.
[Nexus One General] cmstlist:
Just a note, according to the ClockwordMod Twitter account, new version 2.5.1.1 should support the SLCD N1 now. If any of you would like to test it, you can use ROM Manager to do so.
[Android Apps and Games] alankstiyo:
is there any msn messenger which when logging indicates that you are on a mobile device? just like the one on winmo

i'd think the official msn messenger app would do it... not sure if it does tho, since no one i know is on msn messenger to check right now.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ake beatz:
Hi I have HTC Touch Pro2 and I have 2 problems.

1) When I want to reply on sms the screen "launching sence" comes up and my sms is not sent. When I want to edit info for my contacts "launching sence" comes up.

2) My phone sometimes goes black out for no reason. Only way to turn it on is the reset button on the side.

I'm new in the Windows mobile world, so can anyone help me out?

P.s. I heard that this is important info when someone has a problem: OS version 5.2.23563 (23563.5.5.0), Manila version 2.5.2018.GONZO, ROM version 0.15b2 WWE
[Desire General] still_the_same:
Hi,

Is it possible to backup all apps from my phone, unroot my device, perform an OTA update to 2.10.405.2, root my device again and restore all my apps and settings?

Regards

Patrick
[Desire General] ljesh:
Seems doable with Titanium Backup (others please confirm) although I personally wouldn't recommend that since I have heard complains of apps that force-close after being restored.
[Desire General] still_the_same:
Can anyone else confirm or dis confirm this? I would hate it to loose my angry birds scores ;)
[Desire General] gunja99:
Heh was my main concern (Angry birds highscores). I actually managed to get the settings out, and then put them back afterwards in recovery mode using adb. The files u want are located in the directory at: /data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds. Wiped, upgraded put Angry birds back on, shoved phone back in recovery and over wrote the new angry birds settings and highscores.lua file. (Actually the highscores.lua file is a text file with sections like:

Level27 = {

completed = true,

birds = 2,

score = 38660,

lowScore = 29190,

}

Hmm tempted to cheat, but I'm not gonna!!!

Hope that helps. But your process looks fine to doing the update, etc. I my My Backup Pro and not titanium BTW.

I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR ANY OF THIS. ALL I DID WAS PIECE TOGETHER OTHER PEOPLE'S HARD WORK.

IF YOU WANT TO THANK ANYONE PLEASE THANK THE ORIGINAL AUTHORS/DEVS.

-Most of the real tedious work inside of the theme is attributed to xvenom89 Please consider using his referral link on dropbox found here from his nublu theme over in the incredible forum. He was nice enough to allow me to use his work.

-Built from the framework-res.apk posted by bigrushdog to include brightness fix

-Custom Animations

-I blended fold, bounce, and fly-in to pick the things I liked from them.

- (Thanks to MagnusRagnarok he wasn't the original dev. on the animations but he's how I found out about them and I didn't feel like researching who made them)

-The LatinIME.apk mod from the eng pack (not sure where credit is due)

-Google search bar came from rori~ in his Smoked Widgets thread over in the Nexus Forums.

-All of the icons are from Max Rudberg from MacThemes

-kwizzle

put me on to the background put in the screen Not sure where original credit is due but hes how I found out about it :D

I am trying to figure out how to make a flashable zip to change applications that have been downloaded to /data.

In the mean time if there is interest I will post instructions on how to change app icons stored in data.

Here is the download link.

Please Nandroid before flashing.

To get the transparent icon backgrounds a wipe is necessary.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pinksupervisor:

Yes working on the circle battery mod. It's proving more difficult then I thought it would be. I'll wait for the new update and work off that.

It should work. Contact your it and get the settings. You can also try k9 mail.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xlGmanlx:
nah, i get the "this requires security your phone doesn't support" i work at a large IT company, and our internal IT are idiots, go figure right? No way they will get this sorted, so i will have to wait for google to implement a better email app with enterprise security requirements

Will the transitions work on CM?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] M@XLOL:
Yes BUT its a folder inside of the framework-res.apk

Hello all

I had installed the root and lagifx from his app and then I decided to wipe with all these things turned on and now it says I have it says install ext2 tools so I do it now it says I have a lagfix installed which I don't because I ran quadrant and I'm getting scores around 850 and If I try to un lagfix it says you don't have a lagfix but If I do put install lagfix it says you already have a lagfix!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VeryCoolAlan:
Also I have wiped 3 times
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephenj37826:
Fix playlogos file and make sure your batt is above 40%
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VeryCoolAlan:
ypu

how do i do that please i want to apply the lagfix without it telling me i already have it installed? lol i found the playlogos file

:confused:;)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragoth12:
There is an option in the App. It is called "Restore Boot Animation" I believe. Not positive though. Just click it and it will fix your problem and you can proceed to install the lag fix.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahil04:
That's what fixed it for me after I flashed Core + Bionix on my phone and tried to apply OCLF.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Josh H.:
Thanks for posting about this! I'd never heard of it but now I'm very excited. I just applied for the beta. I'm wondering if walking down to their office tomorrow and begging in person will get my invite any faster! Should I do it?!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Max_Pain:
i find a conflict in one of the founders of Microsoft spending $20 million for software for a competing platform.

why not develop Kiha for Microsoft if he believes in the product so much?

i'd be afraid of getting the app and have it dumb down my phone or in some way make it so we want to change over to Microsoft of something....it's a conspiracy i tell you:eek:

I would contact their tech support, I'm sure there is a way to report bugs since it is a beta.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MRFERRARI23:
So I received there invite to the beta last night and I was very excited about it. Until I started filling out the info etc and started seeing how they collected all my data of all the sites I visit on my PC and phone (um nooo thanks). And something to the effect that them and 3rd parties can look at my emails and passwords, basically stalk me!! And as I kept reading I started getting more freaked out like WTF for real?? And then I decided not to go further or use it! The real kicker was when they told me that after the beta is over that I should change my emails password?!!?!?!?!? HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLZ NO, NOT USING THIS BS!!! :rolleyes:

I'm sticking to what I've been using which is Gmail and AOL mail... I've good thus far and I'm sure I'll continue to do so from this point on lol

I really don't advise anyone to use this crap, I mean by all means you can If you don't mind handing over all your info etc- Just read all they ask for and then tell me if you start to feel bothered!!??

Searching for the same thing brought me here, I already knew about changing the task bar via cmsettings, but is there anyway to make it solid black? Not the gradient style?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
Yeah, use Photoshop and make a theme - all it requires is dragging and dropping the image into the apk file (in a flashable zip). Use 7-zip to drag and drop.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] RE687:
If you go to Settings->CyanogenMod settings->User interface->Tweaks extra->Select a theme (Status Bar Customizations) and click STOCK_Black, it will automatically change the status bar to be black. Restart your phone to complete all the changes. Its looks a whole lot nicer than the white theme IMO.
[Android Apps and Games] cjward23:
Hi, I have downloaded Youlu phone book replacement for my HTC Hero and I really like the app but not the widget.

I have been playing round with .apk and .png files over the last few day I decided to try and customise the widget by making the background transparent and changing the icons.

With the .png's changed and the apk zipped and signed I install the app, apply the widget and there it is my first customised widget on my home screen.

But when I try to open the app either via the widget or the app draw get a message asking me update my settings file and a link to download the original apk. And I am unable to use the app.

Any help anyone could give regarding this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Cjward23 :)

P.S. I have highlighted the custom Youlu widget on Screenshot, the badly drawn red line is not part of the widget
[Android Apps and Games] cjward23:
Anyone? :-)
[Android Apps and Games] meo:
see for APK Manager 4.9 - here you can find information about manipulating apk's
[Android Apps and Games] cjward23:
I used APK manager to modify the .png files. But the app seems to know that I have modified the .png files and won't let me open it.
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
Why are you modifying the framework-res.apk. Shouldn't you modify the apk of the Yolulu app?
[Android Apps and Games] tristan202:
If you really need to make the changes in framework-res, don't resign it. Never resign system apks. Just make the changes, and zip it back up.
[Android Apps and Games] cjward23:
Thanks for pointing out my mistake. I have modified the Youlu APK not the framework-res.apk. got framework-res on the brain at the moment.

I have corrected my mistake in the first post.
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
Why don't you contact the developer? Maybe he is willing to help you.
