[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] gil80:
Hi all.

We all agree that SGS Super AMOLED is amazing and viewing photos is simply a joy... but the Gallery 3D supplied with the phone can't handle image quality in a satisfying manner.

There are plany of apps out there for image viewing. Some are neat, some are less.

I've tested some apps like Floating images, B&B, Just Picture, Picture Folder and Image Viewer.

As a professional photographer, image quality is a must. So I tested each app with various images but same resolution (800pixels long side).

All apps mentioned above, except one, failed to show the right sharpness and color transitions.

The best app for those who care about quality, is Image Viewer. This app has no appeal and no "fun playing around" feeling to it but it does the job on the best side.

If you think there are better apps out there, please share.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Maddmatt:
Large Image Viewer seemed to give good quality.

http://www.appbrain.com/app/large-image-viewer/image.viewer

Personally I use JustPictures. In the options you can set the picture resolution to "original" which makes it show the full resolution, although it has these minor line artefacts so the quality isn't perfect.

I can't find this "B&B" you mention. What is it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] gil80:
I believe Image Viewer or Large Image Viewer is the same app.

The lines you mentioned are called BANDING. This is usually seen in transition in the BLUE color (e.g., Skies).

Image viewer won't show you these banding at all.

B&B - Bread & Butter
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] heru:
I tried to search in the market but found quite a lot of apps with image viewer names on it. Could you please give the author name or a link in appbrain ?

Thanks.

Have you guys tried the fixed gallery app that can be installed via sgs tools? it fixes sensor batt draining bug too. Also fixes picture quality issues. I use justpictures myself
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jjwa:
I really like Perfect Viewer. It has really good controls for zooming and scrolling, and I believe it does it's resizing in a way that is pretty high-quality.

bro is the upgrades for SGS tools compatible with your ROM??
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kalki:
gallery from sgs tools is not compatible with JPU
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] EarlZ:
The gallery from Number22 ( SGS tools ) is pretty decent once he fixes the random FC but and the black bars on the thumbnails, to date it has the BEST image quality ive seen/
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] gil80:
Try large image viewer, and compare images. Quality wise (as mentioned already) this is the best app.

I did a update from CM 6.1.0 RC1 DS to CM 6.1.0 DS and my screen has a serious green tint mytouch3g 32a. Ialso did the same update to my mytouch 3g 32b and the screen is fine. Was wondering if there is any fix out there or if anyone else having the same probs?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bstep:
Same problem here. Updated MyTouch 3g 32a and have a same problem. Green tint, wich starts at the Cyanogen boot screen. There is non on the MyTouch screen (the white letters are white). After that everything is greenish. Thought that render effect is on, but it is not. I updated rom through rom manager.

Anyone have any ideas?

After some hours of reinstalling the rom in various ways with no change. I started browsing the web for similar problems, and found something that might be helpful.

"Fix in few days."

Hope so.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] skinsfan05:
I also have the same problem. Went from CM 6.1.0 RC1 DS to CM 6.1.0 DS and now I have the tint problem. I went back to RC1 and tint was gone. Installed CM 6.1.0 DS after wipe again and still have tint. I went through all the settings and couldn't find the problem.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bstep:
Isn't pershoot 2.6.35.9 for 32b board and not for 32a?

I'd try installing it but I'm afraid of permanently damaging the phone. Not shure if that's posible with a kernel install, but I'm not wiling to risk it.

Have any one tried that method on 32a board?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kompheak:

That's the site you should check...

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bstep:
Just tried it and the device gets stuck on mytouch green loading screen. Had to get the batery out than boot into recovery. Than install the 6.1 ds rom. But it's kinda strange. The screen has a green tint only when looked at it directly. If I tilt it just a bit the picture is fine. Strage.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Indrid Cole:
green tint

Idid find some workarounds but I also read that team douche does know about the orb and hopefully have a update to fix thescreen issue. I just am not sure where it will be posted? Yeah when youtilt the screen it does look OK.freaky. I just reflashed RC1-DS and am patiently waiting an update.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] visualist6x6:
Check out the CyanogenMod forums. There's a post on the green tint problem, check out entry #6. It says it's for the MT3G original, but as you go further into it, it applies to th 1.2 version. I downloaded and used ezterry's kernel but pershoot's supposedly works, too.

I used the one for ebi0 - it says: EBI0 (32b) for 2.22.* radio users (thats the MT3G 1.2)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bassdroid:
just stick with RC1. Ive been using it for awhile with no complaints whatsoever
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Daveenna:
I was able to fix the green tint by flashing from the droidbasement, but I lost my headphone jack :(

Anyone know a fix that resolves green tint W/O loss of headphone jack?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Ran into the same issue. Apparently they left something in the final release that they were using to test out 3D graphics, hence the reason the tint disappears if you tilt the phone. Easy fix.

Download one of the kernels below (grab the one for your phone) and flash from Recovery after flashing the CM 6.1 ZIP. If you've booted since flashing CM 6.1, you'll need to also wipe Dalvik-cache.

This one for 32B phones to include the myTouch 1.2.

This one for 32A phones. myTouch 1.2 users (3.5mm jack) use the 32B kernel.

Any problems, post here.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] gcantu:
I have a question what are the requirements for the mt3g 1.2

heres what i have

Sapphire pvt 32A ship S-on G

Hboot-1.33.0013 (sapp31000)

Clpd-13

Radio-2.22.23.02

Oct 21 2009, 22:33:27

Seems things have changed since i first rooted my mt3g 1.2 and dont want to mess it up.

I only ask because ive been searching for a while with no straight answer everyone says search and doesn't provide help or say you dont have a 32A board you have a 32B with extra ram. But when I first rooted everyone said its 32a dont flash anything for 32b or youll lose jack or brick. Confused as im sure many others are tons of info for g1, or regular mt3g just not 1.2

Thanks in advace
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kompheak:
What are you asking for? How to get rid of the green tint?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] gcantu:
Yes. When i flashed CM I also got the green tint. So i just went back to 6.0 lol I started to panic.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kompheak:
Lol.. that's what everyone should do if they don't like green tint... lol unfortunately I can't help since I owned a 32b...

They have talked about 32a in cm nightly forum... all I know is if you flash the correct kernel... the green tint disappear.

32b is pershoot 2.6.35.9 extra ram... without 2708

32a - is one of eztery older kernel... Google cyanogen and enter nightly discussion... I'm not going back there... that thread is long lol

From my experience- the worst that can happen when flashing the wrong kernel is it wont go pass the boot screen... all I did then is remove battery... enter recovery and flash either nandroid or same rom you are using... you don't need to do any wiping if using same rom...

So it is scary at first but as long as you can boot into recovery u r fine... :-)

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] gcantu:
Well thank you sir but since its the misses phone I think ill flash rc1 and let it be till the next release she wouldn't know the difference lol.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Thought that was pretty self explanatory. I've got the myTouch 1.2 and used the same kernel, so I know it'll work. The 1.2 uses 32B kernel's so I don't know what smoke they were blowing up your hole back then.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] gcantu:
Lol yeah. It brought a world of confusion when I kept reading to use the one for 32B. Thanks for the help
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] odomandr:
That will allow me to update my 1.2 to cm6.1 with no green tint but no working headphone jack either.

however if i flash this

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8797419&postcount=442 (the first one for a 32B ezBiffTestKernel20101024-ebi0_S.zip) then i am able to use 6.1 with no green tint and the headphone jack working

edit: see below
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Can you let me know if you have the same problem as the last guy with the headphone jack. If so I've got another kernel that's a little older, but will definitely work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] odomandr:
well there is zero issue for me with that kernel regarding battery life. unplugged at 8 am, drove two hours using winamp for music the whole time. lots of emails, a few texts and calls, medium app use. and now it is 10:25pm and im down to less than 20%
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] crxmax:
so uh...is this kernel overclocked?? if so whats max?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
The kernel odomandr posted and the one that I posted are both OC'd with a max freq. of 614 MHz.

Been using the hotspot from sprint a custom rom and it works great better than wireless tether for me. I was wondering if i can get charged by sprint for using their app or is it included in sprints $69.99 unlimited plan?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
If you are using a rom that has cracked the sprint tethering program, you wont get charged. However, its still against sprint's policy to do that, and they could charge you for that at any time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
Signing up for tethering is a contractual agreement. If you have not signed up to use wireless tethering they could hardly charge you.

Mitchell's EVO
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caguirr4:
Nah. They wont charge you. How would they even know that you are using the sprint wireless tether for free. As long as the Tom you are using has the cracked sprint hotspot app you should be alright.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verse187:
they cant charge you there is no way they could find out dont worry you never signed up for tethering so no worries
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creyc:
This seems to be one of those things where as long as you keep your data use reasonable I don't think Sprint will pay much attention. I remember reading a few stories about people tethering exorbitant amounts of data however and getting thousand dollar cellular bills thrown at them with the reason being basically you signed a contract saying you wouldn't tether.

Are you feeling lucky? :D

(99.9% chance nothing will happen)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
As long as you keep downloading of any large files or streaming of video to when you are on Wifi, your usage should stay pretty low.

I use my phone A LOT to stream radio talk shows and surf the web away from home and my monthly usage isn't even 1GB.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caguirr4:
But how would they even know you are tethering. There are ton of tethering apps in the market and there is one on code.Google.com so who's to say you are even using the sprint tether.all they know is that you are using lots of data. And well as an evo owner sprints says we pay an extra 10 bucks for unlimited data anyway. So technically they Fu*ked themselves.
[G Tablet General] nink:
Anyone root their ViewSonic yet. I have been googling about looking for Android 2.2 root methods and just wondering if I risk totally bricking this device. It seems that getting root and installing busy-box *should* work.

[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
ROFLMAO

@OP

:eek: :confused: :p :D

Missed the dev forum didya?

(I had problems with the News app/widget thing in the 1.0 version of TnT, then I had problems with the weather app/widget after the 1.01 OTA update for TnT, at which point I dumped TnT for TnT lite 2.0.2 ... if the sw had worked well, I wouldn't have minded the shipped "launcher" too much... but TnT apparently needs ALOT more dev time as it seemed to be beta quality at best, if not alpha...)
[G Tablet General] nink:
Well I rooted successfully. Remounted certain system folders as rw. BEFORE I installed the TNT 2.20 I used the stock recovery tool , I made a backup to sdcard and copied that to my Linux box.

So far so good. At first I was a bit miffed to find the /system or /etc mounted ro, but got around that with busybox sudo..

Now my task is to tinker a bit around with the user-space services.

I am finding, that unlike a system-V (/etc/rc?.d with init.d), user-space tweaking in the sense of auto starting apps or whatever is not as simple as: write shell script, place in proper location, re-boot.... seems I need to write an actual app that listens for "ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETE". I sure wish it was simpler.

Oh, is the titanium backup worth it? Or is the system backup I created using the "power-on+volume-up" method just as good. Seems the method provided by ViewSonic is fine enough. However, I did not see any mention of it in the forum (my system seems to have been created on 11/22/2010, based on the system directories date before I TNTed my tablet).

Again, many thanks to those who pointed me in the proper direction. I really appreciate your input.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Don't know about all the other stuff but Viewsonic did not have a recovery option. Had to be something you installed while rooting, or whatever. The system backup in Clockwork is great for times when your tablet won't work because of something, or a program that went wrong. Titanium is great for when you have a zillion apps installed and want to install a new rom, or reload a clean version. Titanium will then let you put all your apps back without having to download them from the market, or sideload them all again. It is also useful when you have an app you can't find but it may be on your phone. You can backup the app on your phone and then move it to your tablet to install.
[G Tablet General] nink:
Yes, I think you are right. My first effort in the rooting process was to install the clockwork, but I thought it failed. However, it must not have as when I run the backup (and pay attention) I saw the "ClockWork...... msgs". Definitely a nifty tool.
[G Tablet General] nink:
FYI troops:

I was quite successful, with much thanks to all of you and your wonderful efforts.

- got market place working (however have not needed it yet at all)

- installed groomdroid (a php aware webserver)

- installed php-cgi so that groom processes ".php" web pages.

- installed php-cli program for command line php capabilities.

- installed TitaniumBackup (need to use it, probably soon)

- installed adobe flash, and it works just fine

Now to:.

- browser that is truly html5 capable (this may be dreaming as most have various parts of html5 disabled, such as the "<video>" element. However, there is a new Opera browser available that is *supp5osed* to be <video> capable. FYI: some webkit browsers, such as the QT-webkit have the html5 video element capability disabled on purpose.

- autostart apps of my choosing (I have a feeling I will be writing droid apps to accomplish this)

Again, many thanks folks.

When I get my device set up as I need it, I will post how I did it. I am trying to document the process as best I can.

I thought this was a hilarious thread, and I was going to make a joke at the OP just for fun, but I am REALLY happy that despite the doofus thread opening that nink has figured it out and has joined the ranks.

So now that Android 2.3 is out, what would it take to get it on the Gtab?
[G Tablet Android Development] daname:
+1 I would also like to move my gtab from 2.2.0 to 2.3.0.
[G Tablet Android Development] 8afri:
+1 :)
[G Tablet Android Development] popezaphod:
My guess, since ViewSonic hasn't released source is that it will be some time. Perhaps the Vega or Zpad devs will get to it first.
[G Tablet Android Development] smileyscout:
I think there is supposed to be a official update of the 20th.

I bet it will be Android 2.3 plus whatever app store Viewsonic managed to dig up.
[G Tablet Android Development] shadowclock:
The best thing about 2.3 for tablets like this without 3G is the VoIP phone calling. :D
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
Android 2.3 SDK is out. There's no OTA update for Nexus One yet. Nexus S release was announced for December 16th, so there will be something out by then for N1 presumably.

Not sure how much luck we'll have rolling our own Gingerbread build quite yet. We still have no kernel source or any other source code from Viewsonic for that matter. Basically, I'm pretty sure I'll have Gingerbread on my Nexus One well before my G Tablet.

BTW, there is some explicit stuff surrounding large screen support in the Gingerbread SDK. Sort of a recognition that there are now tablet devices out there even though they won't be blessed until the 3.0 release.
[G Tablet Android Development] wiredmonkey:
I'm new to Android, but why do we have to wait for Viewsonic? Can't the standard Android 2.3 source be compiled for the Gtab?
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
I'd recommend everyone calling Viewsonic support and asking them, if they get enough questions they may find some type of answer so we can guage their actions.

I do know that 2.3 has been worked on for this specific OEM device by Malata(zpad). The Woow! device is supposed to be released fairly soon with it. There are nvidia engineers working for Malata who will be on top of this, and I doubt it will take over a month to get it on our device one way or another.
[G Tablet Android Development] tcrews:
Android 2.3 "source" hasn't been released, only the SDK (Software Developers Kit).

You can download the SDK and start coding applications for OS 2.3 but you can't start building 2.3 ROM's until the source is released.
[G Tablet Android Development] P_6:
One month is better than six. With what we've seen so far, I wouldn't expect 2.3 any time soon, at least from VS. I know you Devs will get it to us way sooner.

Everyone excited about this VS "update" coming this month, I wouldn't get too terribly excited. Definitely wouldn't expect more than Flash for the Stock ROM. If VS is smart they'll pay Roebeet for his efforts and make TnT Lite the "update"
[G Tablet Android Development] wiredmonkey:
Ah, gotcha.
[G Tablet Android Development] Nospin:
Umm, I wouldn't expect anything but 2.2 from Viewsonic. Looking at the quality of their release software, besides bugfixes to make the stock ROM "usable" I doubt they will care about supporting this thing.

Once the source is released your time would be better spent thanking whichever dev decides to take this massive undertaking of porting 2.3.
[G Tablet Android Development] babybacon:
not quite. you can use the sdk to build a rom.

its very hard and time consuming. but it can be done.

just look at what punk.kaos has done with the eris. there is already a (Very Buggy) gingerbread rom for the eris.
[G Tablet Android Development] tcrews:
No, you can't use the SDK to build a rom but you can use the crippled system.img they provide in it and try to hack something together. Hacking that and using an older kernel isn't really the way to go. Compiling a rom is going to require source.

Building a rom, to me, is compiling from source. Otherwise you are tweaking someone else's rom or worse...trying to use an image created for the emulator.

Not to downplay his efforts or skill...but that is not a rom to use other than for experimenting or "learning" from.

Idk man. kaosfroyo on my eris has been wonderfully fast and stable (especially for as slow as the eris is) ever since v22. these things take some tweaking.
