I flashed the "stock+Voodoo-Froyo-I897-UCKB1" file linked in the OP using Odin.

I used ROM Manager to reboot into CWM Recovery.

Once in CWM Recovery I could apply the GPS fix I wanted to try which is what started this whole adventure!

Which GPS fix did you flash - Plumbob's or Da_g's fix?

Any adverse effects with the Voodoo flash?

Am I just not seeing it or im slow or it doesnt exist......

Is there a stock kernal with lagfix, color and sound all in one? I see speedmod, but I like supercurios :(

I kill coneys, not phones.
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
Such a kernel cannot exist until Samsung has released KB1 kernel source code. Until then, we are stuck with the prebuilt kernel and the scripting code fixes that can be injected in the initramfs, which is just the lagfix code. The reason speedmod has all those features is because the i9000 Froyo kernel source code has been released.

Hi

Has anyone noticed how the stock android browser "paginates" some web sites. I don't know if that's the correct word to describe it, but I mean when it separates a web site into several pages and you have to click continue at the end to see the rest of the content. Also, when you see the list of open tabs next to the title you see "(1/3)".

I find it very annoying and haven't found a way to disable it. Does anyone know how to do it?
[Galaxy 3 General] nvnmula:
This happens to me using a Galaxy 3, that's why I'm asking in this forum. Could some other user of this phone please confirm if it happens in your phone too?

Thanks.
[Galaxy 3 General] Saka911:
let me guess. This happens generally when you are using google search and click one of the links.. right?
[Galaxy 3 General] nvnmula:
It happens when using google search, but also when entering the site URL directly. For instance, I just loaded emol.com (local newspaper) and I got the paginated view. I'm also getting it when accessing this very same forum, which makes it almost unusable.
[Galaxy 3 General] nvnmula:
So nobody else has seen this behavior?

I figured this would be a good place to ask, lots of users of this phone. Would you please suggest some other place to post this question if it is not relevant here?

Thanks
[Galaxy 3 General] nvnmula:
Finally, mistery solved. I figured it only happened when using 3G and not when using WiFi. I went to the APN settings and the default APN had a proxy server enabled. I removed the proxy address and now all pages look as they should. So,

it wasn't android browser's fault, it was my network operator's. No wonder I couldn't find anything about this issue.

Sorry for all the annoying posts :o

Hi guys,

Can anyone port the new Android 2.3 keyboard to Android version 2.1? On the x10 we are currently on Android Version 2.1 and I really could use a new keyboard.

someone said the new keyboard uses the voice search app, that's already been ported to 2.1 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=667387)

and here is the link to the 2.3 Keyboard APK.

http://androidoverdrive.com/pete/GINGERBREAD/GingerBreadLatinIME.zip

Thanks again.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Falcyn:
Google provides a 2.1-compatible Voice Search app, no need for porting. But unfortunately, that's not the problem. The problem is that the Gingerbread keyboard needs the newest Voice Search app (the Froyo one with Voice Actions), which hasn't been ported to 2.1. My understanding is that it might not be possible to do so. So, until someone finds a way to hack the Gingerbread keyboard into not relying on Voice Actions, we 2.1 users seem to be out of luck.

The HTC Sense keyboard, though, is supposed to work on the X10 and is a huge improvement. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5475283

There's also a Droid multi-touch keyboard which is even better still (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=709519), but I have no idea if it'll work on the X10.

I have a Samsung galaxy phone and I love the look of the music player. Is there any way to get the music app to work with the Archos 101. Step by step guide would be great.

THANKS :D
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenyu73:
Not easily. The Music.apk file that Samsung uses is using the same standard 'com.android.music' name as most android devices for the music player. What this means is that when it attempts to install, it sees that another file with the same name exists and attempts to install over it... which it cant because the location is in a read-only section of the Archos device.

There are only (2) methods that I know of to get around this...

1) root access (replace the Archos 'Music.apk' with the Samsung 'Music.apk' file)

2) hack the Market.apk file and rename the 'com.android.music' Manifest entry name/title to something different. I think there are methods to hack and edit apk files, but I"m not really that familiar. The issue, I think, is putting the apk file back together... there's keys and signatures involved.

Hey guys quick question

Me and my girlfriend both have the SGS but I noticed today that he screen has a weird yellow colour when compared to mine.

Like my blacks are black, where hers just seem off from mine even at low, medium and full brightness, power saving lcd thing off on both.

We are both running JPU.

Is her screen dying or is it faulty? if so should i contact samsung for a replacement model?

Thanks

Hi

I have an issue where my screen is much darker than those of friends of mine, both with brightness set to full on all phones or with auto brightness on. I didn't notice it at first but now that I did it bugs me like hell. Maybe its related.

Depending on country and service center it shouldn't be too much of an issue to get a replacement screen / device. It goes without saying you have to roll back from JPU to the original froyo for device.

[Nexus S General] Chad_Petree:
ive been told the galaxy s has a 16 bit display, guess were gonna have to wait till gingerbread is released on other devices to put an end to this
[Nexus S General] diversificationied:
Um...you guys are totally not understanding what's happening.

The images must also be the correct format to avoid the banding you're seeing.

The software (either OS or application) cannot make it display properly if it's not in the right format.

This all happens BEFORE even getting sent to the display. The display CAN introduce other artifacts however, but the issue at hand currently is in the software before being displayed.

Simply put application needs to be updated and assets created correctly.
[Nexus S General] Chad_Petree:
and by correct format u mean?
[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
The banding is because of the amoled screen uses pentile sub pixel layout. Nothing you will ever be able to do to fix it as there are not 3 true pixels for each full pixel. It's why many don't like pentile screens.
[Nexus S General] dinan:
How could banding be because of the subpixel arrangement? Usually the bands of color are many pixels wide... so I don't see how the pixel arrangement comes into play there.

For example: http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2010...nding-issue-microsoft-could-partially-fix-it/

Comparing pictures from an android browser to the WM7 browser where both have the same SAMOLED screen. It's simply the bit depth that the application or OS is using which is the culprit, not the SAMOLED display itself.
[Nexus S General] ikon8:
This is completely false, the pentile subpixel argument is baseless. It's well documented that the 3D gallery app uses 16bit rendering. Want an easy way to test? Go in the market and download Multi-touch Gallery app which displays in 24bit, and guess what, no more banding.
[Nexus S General] ikon8:
Also, Google didn't make the Gallery app, it was made by a 3rd party company, Cooliris. They need to update the gallery app because it's garbage.
[Nexus S General] cesar franco:
gallerey

Can somebody put up the nexus s gallery.apk
[Nexus S General] Chad_Petree:
gingerbread was the perfect oportunity to fix it :(
[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
If you look at the image at true one to one scale, the banding is there no matter what. And its definitely a limitation of the pentile layout.
[Nexus S General] nxt:
1st attachment: Look at the Android's head, no banding. This is the wallpaper applied with the wallpaper app Zedge.

2nd attachment: noticeable banding on Android's head. This screenshot taken of the Gallery app viewing the picture.

Also can tell the difference on Android's body also.

So, once again, the built in Gallery sucks and does produce banding, and when setting wallpapers using Gallery, it will also produce banding.
[Nexus S General] DisplayGeek:
Unclear on the concept

No, its not PenTile. PenTile uses 24 bit color input and output. It uses 33 bit color internally.

The banding is from 16 bit image processing *before* the display. Once software has reduced bit depth, nothing the display can do to fix it.

As was point out earlier, the banding is many, many pixels (and even more subpixels) wide. PenTile subpixel rendering has no effect over such long distances. The SPR processor is a 3 X 3 pixel image operator, so it has a very short distance over which it can effect an image. This processor operates at 33 bit color, eleven bits per color channel. It is not responsible. The PenTile RGBG pattern repeats after 2 X 2 pixels, far too short to be responsible for the banding.

Again, banding occurs when shallow color gradients that start at 24 bits are truncated to 16 bit color, five bits for red and blue channels, and six bits for the green. What once had many possible brightness steps, 256 to be exact, steps too close together to see easily, are now reduced to only 32 steps for the red and blue... which are so few that when the steps occur, they are quite visible.

Again, this occurs in SOFTWARE, not the PenTile display. And it only happens in some of the software. If some software does a good job, and it displays OK, it can't be the PenTile display.
[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
Follow the link in my sig, and install my app from that thread dated 120510 and tell me how the gradient background looks on the main tabs and the about section in my app on your nexus s. No gallery bit reduction there or anything, it will be pure OS maximum bit color production. And you will see the banding limitation of the pentile display.

All nexus ones have it, all Samsung amoled screens have it, and the nexus s will have it. It's just an unfortunate limitation of the pentile sub pixel layout.

If you really want I'll throw together a test app real quick for you to show this even more, but the 120510 version of my app shows it dead on.
[Nexus S General] ikon8:
Why would we need to download your app to see banding? That just means your app is causing the problem.

Can you explain why if I look at a gray gradient in the browser it looks perfectly fine, yet the same image downloaded and viewed in the gallery3d app shows terrible banding, when viewed in the multitouch gallery app it also looks perfectly fine.

The screen isn't responsible for the banding, the app is.
[Nexus S General] gogol:
It seems you still dont get it, do you?

To follow your logic. If this issue is caused by the hardware, pentile sub-pixel layout bla bla ... Don't you think that this cannot be fixed by software?

Because it is caused by the hardware screen, it is not possible to fix it via software, nor application.

That's your logic, ok?

Now, can you explain why if we use the app below to set home screen wallpaper:

http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.android.wallpapersetandsave/

The color banding issue does not occur?

Try to set the wallpaper using default Android home screen setting and you will see the color banding.

Or try to load the wallpaper image using Android Gallery, you will also see the color banding.

Please try and then explain once again your reasoning.

NOTE: Use wallpaper image that has color gradient (check it first in your PC).

NOTE: There is other app that you can use to set wallpaper to avoid color banding:

http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/net.zedge.android/
[Nexus S General] Chad_Petree:
i just tried that gallery and tried wallpaper set and save and the banding its definitely there :/
[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
Geez guys, we've been dealing with this topic for a whole year now. My app isn't a problem, I just chose the most basic linear layout with a 90degree gradient, and banding is apparent. These are basic elements.

Better example is the xda tapatalk app, the splash screen in the beginning. That gradient shows the banding which is very similar to the example in my app. It's not a "problem" with the app, there is just no way to solve it on pentile screens.
