[Q] problem after screen replacement - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I've just replaced my cracked amoled screen with another samsung's original amoled screen, but i have a problem with colors, it seems like weak color. like when you have a computer with low resolution. the gradient of the colors looks ugly.
somebody had this problem or anybody knows how could I repair it?
Thanks.

Maybe a calibration problem so I suggest flashing a ROM/kennel combo that you like with Voodoo colour support them you can tweak away all the colour/gamma etc settings to sort it

You could try this, but I think the new screen isn't 100% ok. I got my screen replaced and the colors were as before. This new screen had a defective button so I got a second new one. This one also did not need any calibration.

hi, thanks for reply.
i'm thinking the screen is faulty too, because i don't think the screen needs calibration.
when i enter recovery menu the colors seem wrong too, so it's not a rom problem because in recovery mode the rom haven't been loaded yet

I need help getting the camera to work after tweaks I made

I got the Tab on Friday. One of the first things I noticed was that the icons were so large they were cartoonish and nothing looked right. So I went through the build.prop and edited the LCD density until I found one I liked. Then I went through and set up the home screens, launcher, etc.... just the way I wanted them. This morning I went to take a picture of the Nook Color I'm now trying to sell and figured I'd use the Tab to do it. However, the camera app FC's on me. After sitting down and thinking about what I might've done to break it, I turned the LCD density back to 240. This fixed the camera. Of course, all my icons now look ridiculously cartoonish and large. I am not blind, just ugly. There is no need for this.
Is there any way to alter the LCD density without breaking the camera? Or are there 3rd party camera apps that will work regardless of what the density is? I really don't want to choose between my camera working and my icons looking decent.
Don't go higher than 180, if you did that's why the camera didn't.

It's set at 180 right now. That's where I wanted it. Do I need to tweak it to at least 190 for it to work? I could live with that I suppose.
Yes under 180 will do the trick. 182 will work I just tried it.

I tried 181 and it didn't work. Upped it to 190 and it worked. I can live with this I think though I might spend some time tweaking it later. Appreciate the help. I just got this bad boy on Friday and I'm a convert from the Nook Color so I'm putting together a long list of questions for the experts on here.

Different color body

Hello there,
I was just wondering if there are any different color body's for the mozart. Not as in cases but the actual metal and plactic'y parts, to change the colour of the entire phone. I have searched google to no avail, and am nearly thinking of looking into doing the job myself (but we'll keep that for later).
Not that theres anything wrong with the color as it is, but I myself would prefer the optoin to change to a more vibrant color, such that can be done with the iPhone.

[Q] Texture on the screen/skin

Hi all, since the first time I saw a texture on the screen, like a photovoltaic panel in my screen (and that of my friend too), i tryed to take a photo but the black of the screen can just mirror all the room.
Anyone know what is?

I believe you are looking at the sensor grids.... it's not a defect every Z has it, so no worries

The + looking grid thing? I believe those are the touch sensors. Every phone has them like the poster before said it.

Day one with HTC one

Hi all,
I'm coming from and SGSII and I'm in the process of trying to setup my One how I like it. There's a few things troubling me though.
-The blacks of the screen don't seem especially black and it seems there's no way to adjust the contrast. The whole screen seems a bit flat/grey
-The menus are black text on white, I much prefer the white on black of the SII
-The scroll 'brakes' too quickly as your finger comes off the screen, it's like sliding something on sandpaper as opposed to ice. There's no 'mega scroll' flick
-I've had to download a task manager killer but I cannot end google+, gmail and googlemaps. I don't want them.
-The icons on my SII are a lot better
-I'd like the notification bar to be black
-On the SII I have gps switched off but weather apps still work, with the HTC gps has to be on.
-I'm going to have to root this phone to get adfree aren't?
I'm using nova launcher so a lot of things are similar but those things above are really bugging me. I've googled all of them and had no luck so let me know if I'm missing anything.
Thanks.
I didn't read your whole post but to get white text on black you are going to have to go with an inverted Rom, like d3rp or 42One I am sure there are others but those two come to mind.

Thanks, I might hold off on rooting for a while.
The main thing I wanted to check was that I wasn't missing an obvious settings and that the screen was working properly, it's VERY flat and grey compared to my SII.
Overall it's doing a good job but the screen is going to have to take some getting used to.

-The blacks of the screen don't seem especially black and it seems there's no way to adjust the contrast. The whole screen seems a bit flat/grey
This is the difference between AMOLED and LCD. The contrast on the One is pretty much the best available on a phone LCD, but it is still an LCD, and cannot match the black levels of AMOLED.
-The menus are black text on white, I much prefer the white on black of the SII
The menus on the SII are white on black because white is a very expensive color to display, battery-wise, on an AMOLED screen. Inverted roms, or themes, will fix this for you.
-The scroll 'brakes' too quickly as your finger comes off the screen, it's like sliding something on sandpaper as opposed to ice. There's no 'mega scroll' flick
Depends on the app you're using. If you're speaking about within Sense (settings, app drawer, etc) then yeah I guess, but I'm not sure why you would need the long scrolling in such short lists.
-I've had to download a task manager killer but I cannot end google+, gmail and googlemaps. I don't want them.
Uninstall/disable them via settings>apps or kill them with an app.
-The icons on my SII are a lot better

-I'd like the notification bar to be black
Theme

You had to root your S2 to get that too.

Thanks for taking the time, much appreciated. Much as I feared the about the screen. It's a shame, I do really like OLED. Those are the two big things now, the screen and lack of centre button. It's stupid because most apps now have a black bar at the bottom which takes up about 10% of the screen for the 'options' button. A button would be much better. If it had those two things it would be the perfect phone in my eyes.
Makes sense about the menus, I checked out the 42One rom and it looks pretty good. I spent yesterday getting everything set up so I'm going to wait to root and flash.
The scroll/flick behaviour is a bit different but some lists do have a 'mega-scroll' so that was me I guess, I'd still prefer it if it was a bit looser.
I found the only option was to disable certain apps, I guess I won't be able to get into removing stuff until I root the phone.
Maybe I should have said i don't like the stock icons, I still prefer the SII one but have since downloaded some icon packs so we're all good there.
On my journeys I saw someone had written a little program to guide you through rooting your phone so I'll have to find that again. I'd also like to backup my stock setup in case of warranty issues further down the line.
Thanks again.

You can use the HTC Logo as menu button. But you'd need a custom kernel that supports that.
AMOLED displays are usually very over saturated compared to IPS LCD displays. But IPS will give you a more accurate color and truer whites and blacks.

The HTC logo doesn't have a capacitive sensor, the "logo button" feature actually uses the first row of pixels immediately above the logo as a button.
Not trying to attack anyone here, just want to make sure that the information is explained a bit more.

Yep, it's the tradeoff you made when you picked LCD.
If its any consolation, displaying white on your S2 actually caused the display consumption to go up drastically (sometimes double the power required) while on LCD the screen uses a much more consistent amount of power. The whites on your One -should- appear as truer whites, while yes, the black will be more washed out.

Useful to know, thanks!
Thanks for the input, being brand new to HTC I'm still learning what's available.
Ideally I like Nova so I'd like to keep that. I'd like the general menus to be white text on black BG, I can clean things out with Titanium and stop ads with adfree.
From what I can tell I'm going to need to root the phone and then install a rom.
Are there 'pre-optimized' roms? Are there any Roms which are basically stock except for the colour flip? Can I get 4.3 in there as well? That middle button would be great too. My SII came with swype, I miss that.
I've found instructions on rooting but a little unsure which rom to go for, konfuzion's suggestion of 42One looks ok but I don't know what's out there, supported and up to date.
If you have any more thoughts they're always welcome
I'm gonna need some help on this guys.
I'm in the UK on the EE network, can I download any rom or do I need a specific 'EE' one?
Do I need a rom if I just want superuser privileges and a reversed/inverted menu? (also be able to install titanium backup and adfree)
I think I can handle the rest of it.
Thanks.
Well you most likely have a gsm one so you wouldn't want to flash anything in the sprint one section. And seeing as your gsm i believe there are a few roms over there that are 4.3

Help Xperia Z1s Status Bar Turns Grey in Settings/Dialer

No idea what has caused this... but when I enter settings it goes from Black (nova launcher) or transparent (stock xperia) to a dull gray.
Thanks in advance.

Not a dark grey, but a lighter dull flat grey on top and bottom.
Does it change color when you enter settings from the stock launcher?

This is really stressing me out. Whether I messed something up or it was like that all along... it looks horrible.
Is there a way to change android settings menus (as well as the notification bar/bottom button bar) to black and get rid of this horrible white/grey theme that doesn't involve an unlocked bootloader? I'm hoping to find an easy fix for this once root is available.
Same thing on my phone, if you use nova launcher to change the bar color it works except in sonys custom settings, which probably means the color of the bars there is handled different hence why nova launcher can't change it. Would probably need something like a custom rom/root or maybe 4.4 to do this.
This is stock and normal. You're like the third person I've seen complaining about this today? I don't understand why it's a problem.
Uh yeah.. It's supposed to do that.

Honestly it's not a problem aside from the fact that it's unsightly. I was afraid messed something up.
So even without nova it would still turn grey?

Yep, this is controlled by the Dialer and Settings APKs - you won't be able to change it without modifying those APKs or a custom ROM/app which supports forcing status bar colors. I'm not too involved in that stuff, though, so that's about as much of a jumping off point as I can give you.
To be honest, I didn't even notice it until people started getting excited about. Different folks...

Maybe i was so excited about everything else that i didn't notice that. I wonder if it was intentional to signify importance or caution or if it was simply overlooked.

I think it's simply a case of the status bar/button panel (whatever it's called) blending the default black color with the white-ish background of the app. I assume it's just the application of translucency and alpha blending. Change the bgcolor of those apps, probably goes away. Maybe there are some other white-background apps to prove that theory.
Messaging does it too, fyi

Good catch. I replaced stock Messaging with 8sms to fix group threading. 8sms doesn't have the gray bars, even with the light theme, but stock Messaging definitely does.
