Is there a way we can get RenderFx? - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

While checking droiddog and watching the cyanogen 6 for the evo video and he used a widget called render fx, do we have a widget like this or is it possible for someone to port it?

The spare parts app has always had this option. Although, why would you even use it?

i know hurts my eyes looking at it. supposed to give excellent battery life though.

no it does not, i ran a test (its in the general section) because of the "render" it slows your phone down considerably and wastes cpu cycles ergo negating any battery life you would have saved (if you had an oled screen), but since we have an lcd screen EVERY pixel is lit up regardless if its in use or not. i had 29 hours with almost no use, people on here get longer then that with a bit of use...
TL: DR slows your phone down, does make it look cool if your into that, but it doesnt save battery from what ive seen

I would love this app and I dont care if it kills my battery. The green is nice for using screen at night. Better then white screen at night. So do we have a answer where can we get it? Running droidX.

If you are using CM6, it is in Settings > Cyan Settings > Render effect.
You can also add a render fx widget to your home screen. Add it like any other widget.

Cm6 is not supported on droidX. I do have and use it on my original Droid. And im looking for this or something like it.

You're right. The whole idea of showing only one color exploits the technology of OLED and its ability to only light up pixels on demand. LCD works by having the entire backlight always on, with polarizers selectively attenuating the light appropriately for each pixel. That's why LCD cannot achieve true black like OLED, and that's why OLED contrast ratio tests destroy LCD.
Since our Hero has the latter technology, this has absolutely no positive effects for us. Don't use it unless you like less colors.

So I have torn apart most of cyanogenmod's roms and settings trying to find this. So if anyone has it please upload that would be awesome

here is the spare parts APK. i havent tried pushing it yet, but its worth a shot.

It fails to load on my X

don't suppose you ever found a way to bring it from cm?
It would be nice to have as I like the way cm looks at night with this
And would love to have a widget since I must move away from the
Cm 6.2 port for the fascinate on my mesmerize since the bluetooth
Isn't the and when using bluetooth stereo headset made by samsung
Incoming callers and my own outgoing calls can't hear me and i can't
hear them...just weird aosp issue...
Anyway would love a widget with this function.

If you're running CM7 then its settings > cyanogenmod settings > interface > render effect
I don't know exactly what rom the OP is running so I just posted directions to it in CM7

In my experience, renderfx rendered my hero near useless.
~maybe I set it too high...

i actually used to use this for getting late night calls in bed and it hasn't worked properly after one of the many updates since August. Once the phone unlocks its back to normal. Anyone else?

[App] NoLED - Use the AMOLED screen for incoming notifications (Crosspost from I9000)

The dev has released more updates, currently on version 0.6. Check it out, the app got a whole lot cooler, and is in pretty active development now!
There's a dev in the I9000 forums working on using the AMOLED screen to display notifications. Currently it's displayed as a red dot in the top left corner of the screen. It's in an early stage, but it works on my Captivate.
Read the thread here for more info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730692
The dev is apparently going on vacation soon, and won't be working on it for a while, so any potential developers here that know how to implement something like this, take note!
Edit: I don't take responsibility for the work on this app at all; just posting here because it works on the Captivate and is an awesome idea.
Sweet this is something exactly what I was looking for!
Hope he can make use of the bottom 4 buttons or something.
Edit: I just read there are no API's to light up the capacitive buttons
But the project so far looks amazing. I'll have to give it a run when I get off of work.
works! sideloaded this thing right into my Captivate easier than rooting (and that was possibly the easiest thing I've done customizing a phone in the past!)
thanks! was definitely missing my notification LED from my last two WinMo phones....
I have got to find out how to side load apps.
Install the Android sdk, add the tools directory to the system PATH, install Samsung drivers to your computer if its 64 bit Windows you need 64 bit drivers, open a command prompt, type "adb install blahblah.apk"... that's pretty much it... obviously your current working directory needs to be the same as the apk file.

Works for my on my captivate. Thanks for the great work OP!
how does this app affect battery life?
the developer said that since it doesn't use any timers within the cpu, it is very VERY minimal on battery.
It worked for me with an SMS, (I use Handcent) but it didn't work for an email. (K9-mail)
I had to remove it because it wasn't letting me go to my screen our unlock my phone

The screen is already on so you have to press the Home button.

Well, it's still better than nothing. The app is still very much a work-in-progress, and hopefully the dev makes some good progress on it soon.
I've been trying to learn how to write Android apps, since the dev won't be around for a while to work on it, but all I've accomplished is realizing how incompetent I am in Java, heh.
When i first saw this app the word pixel burnout came to mind. But the dev says the red square moves around on the screen to prevent that so it might just end up being useful. I think samsung and google need to give us an api to use the menu keys since they didn't provide us with a notification light.

Oh I agree, it is a work in progress. It was an awesome idea, but I was close to some battery pulls because I couldn't get the touch screen to work.
I wonder about all the complaints regarding a notification LED, since Samsung gave us 384,000 LEDs to play with.

thoughts on roms

Ok a rewrite
Monster rom 1.1i is what I've been on all day and there is an update to 1.1j that just came out so my thought are of the 1.1I
Theme of the rom is very little at this time its still very new. The notification bar is a metallic black with white symbols and a battery meter that shows 1%. Very nice. The dialer is also themed with a metallic look.
The rom is I would say looks like an OASP rom even though its not. I like the look and feel of the launcher.
I think that its faster then stock. Feels snappier do to the adrenaline shot that he gave it. I don't know what that does but I like it. No lag or slow downs of any kind.
There is a bloated and a debloaded rom as well.
Also the free ram has been really good. Every time I look I have at least 200 to 230mb of free ram all the time. Can't beat that. The battery has also been good for me as well, as of 12 hour of moderate use I still have 50% left. That's good for me.
I've had no issues with it as of now so im really liking it and im looking forward to more updates. He updates it every couple of days wich I ike. They are not big updates but good ones.
Rom is by 05gsxrk5 and BenLand150
Im sorry if i left someone out.

Is this thread meant for anyone to chime in? I like that idea too. If you ever want to read reviews without searching through what will end up probably being 100+ pages of questions/comments in the actual respective ROMs threads u could just come here search for the name and read up.
Please chime in. I think its great to here from people who are using these rims. I like one place where we can go to read what people are saying about the rims. As of now im on 1.1k just came out last night. So far I like the changes. Later im going to steel DROID and try out 3.0 that just came out.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
Ok time for steel DROID 3.0
Ive been running this for a full day now and
It very snappy. Opening apps is ferry fast it just kinda snaps open very quick. I have not ran into any slow downs or lag. Been very happy with the speed. It also has the adrenaline shot along with some ram tweaks. This rom is the only one out that I've seen with tweaks that I think are done to make a faster rom.
It is also themed a little bit. It has a 1% battery meter on top a black notification bar. The wifi and bars are changed to a blue and look like ice theme. I do like the look
It is running on the blur launcher as of now.
I've ran into no problems that I needs to be fixed with away. There were a few issues but since have been fixed. He also has some addons that you can put back onto the phone if you need certain Apps that he took off. It is debloated rom, I also think there is a bloated rom as well.
The free ram is not as high as the monster rom but still better then stock. Im usually at 120 to 180mb of free ram.
With every update it gets better and better.

bump let's hear more reviews
I just put Liberty on my phone last night and I like it even better than Monster. It's heavily debloated imo which made me nervous, but Titanium made it easy to restore apps I needed and now i probably have a more refined list of back ups geared towards how I use the phone, so not a bad thing all in all. It moves quicker on my phone than Monster, the way i measure it is hit home on the homescreen of LauncherPro and it no longer glitches when the screens zoom out into formation.
The only bug i've noticed is I can't dial *228. I was able to still call voicemail so I'm wondering if this says anything to the effect of it needing to be provisioned like what I used to have to do in WinMo, but unless I see a problem surface I doubt i'll investigate into that too much. Not really a big deal for me. A lot of people said they had bugs like front facing camera force closing but I haven't had those problems. I used the blur camera as well as the blur calendar/email in the customization options and it all works well.
Liberty is as good as always and will only get better. After Hashcode is done with this new version of safestrap: http://goo.gl/FDYlE I will be dual booting this and CM7 indefinitely.

[REQ] Rotation Animation

The gist is: Is it possible to make a Captivate do this? I know that just about every Motorola android has a nice little reorienting animation when you turn it over. We (and by "we" I mean "you geniuses who know what the hell you're doing") managed to implement the now standard crt screen-off animation. Any chance at getting the "flip?"

Color calibration apps and Nexus 7

Hello all!
I've picked my Nexus 7 today from CPW, even though I knew of the existing screen issues. Before buying it I had the time to have a quick look at it, just to make sure hardware wise was fine. Well yes, it was fine, but the colors are not calibrated. I know it's not a new thing, but at least it's not a hardware problem (or at least I hope it's not! ).
I was wondering if any of the apps/mods available in the forum/play store can actually help with the colours of the screen? I know a few years back Nexus One had issues with colour calibration and Nook as well, and there were a few mods developed which helped with the problem.
I'm happy with my nexus and I don't really want to return it, as the new one might have excellent colours but other issues would be present.
Would appreciate some suggestions or we could simply start a discussion on the topic and what could be done about calibrating the colours.
p.s. Apologies if this is not the right thread!
I would try trinity kernel, if u flash his kernel and buy his app u can do what u want to the colors. Its still alpha tho. Im using it on my gnex and its awesome.

Screen Adjuster helps a little, but doesn't do anything about the poor gamma. And unfortunately it makes the UI a little laggy. So probably not worth it. I haven't seen anything else so far.

I must be seriously lucky, the screen on my Nexus 7 is brilliant. I have the Evo LTE, and I'm accustomed to nice screens. I get tons of compliments every day by people looking at my tablet and saying how crisp the colors and text are. I'm usually the one with the issues, but the sun shines on a dogs ass every now and then.
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it now and i could actually achieve satisfying results but as u said the performance is seriously affected! At least this proves the colours can be fixed with software. I hope Google comes up with a fix of some sort !

I shined a light on my dog's ass and I saw no improvement in color response. What other steps did you take?
The gamma on mine is way off (down around 1.2 at 48% for me), but as I posted before the colour temp (on mine at least) seems excellent. Swings and roundabout I suppose. Unfortunately Android doesn't have colour management baked into the OS (neither does iOS) so there's no really practical solution at present. If you want proper calibration on a tablet sometime soon I guess the only option would be to get one of the x86 Win8 tablets at the end of the year.

My cellphone is more vibrant
But it has an amoled display. I usually run the Nexus at 25%, to save battery and because I find it too bright ( indoors anyway) to keep looking at it when it,s at 75 - 100%. If they do send a OTA fix, I might have to drop it down to 10%
Here's a screen shot at 25%. I don't know if a screen shot is accurate to show my screen brightness, but I'm good with the brightness and color.

I come from the line of thinking that if my screen is darker then it's probably not using as much power, granted that difference may be minimal.
Is there anyway we can modify the layout of the pull-down device settings like the wifi tether icon doesn't seem to work on the Sprint version unless you have a specific data plan so I'd like to either remove it or swap it out with the application that I run for tether

Wait... You use it at movies? Are you saying you are one of those people who can't put their phone down for 2 measly hours to watch a damn movie? That you whip your phone out in the theater because 'eff the others around you who paid money to see the movie and not what you are doing on Facebook??
You're seriously one of those guys?? I YELL AT YOU PEOPLE!!

I come from the line of thinking that if my screen is darker then it's probably not using as much power, granted that difference may be minimal.
Is there anyway we can modify the layout of the pull-down device settings like the wifi tether icon doesn't seem to work on the Sprint version unless you have a specific data plan so I'd like to either remove it or swap it out with the application that I run for tether

Well, your line of thinking is incorrect. Imagine your phone is on full brightness and you put a piece of tint on the front of the screen. It will appear to be darker right? But in reality, it's just not projecting the light because you have a filter over it. Screen filter is exactly the same thing. There is no battery savings to be had with it.
Toggles will be edited for next release to fix/remove those that don't work or are useless. A

Lol, no I try not to but I do it during the previews and try to keep the brightness down for those that care about the previews lol But I have it on such a dark setting with screen filter you'd never notice it. It's usually responding to xda stuff! Lol
