it would appear that you're using the (W)VGA version with a WQVGA device. Try the (W)QVGA version in the first post.

Thanks m. carroll. I was hoping you'd put this out. So far, it's working great on build 23420.
Thank-U!!! I love your themes they rock; I will publish in my kitchen when released, with all due credit

PureBlack?
With all due respect (and genuinely mean that, cause I sure as hell haven't been able to create anything of the sorts... although I'm still trying) But for "PureBlack3" There sure is a lot of white and faded shades of gray rather than black. if it's call pure black, then make all the backgrounds in the menu's, and GUI in general, that are usually white... make those black, invert the font colors, and you'll be amazed just at how much batter life alone you will be saving people. The handset expends little to no power to display a black pixel, because there is simply nothing to display. Displaying a white pixel uses the most battery power. It's also really helpfull when usign the handset in a night time vehicular setting because you have less light distracting your vision.
Could maybe it be possible if you were so inclined, when creating PureBlack4, or perhaps a PureBlack3a, truly make it as pure black as possible.
I apologize if in anyway this post is insulting or derrogatory, for that was not my intention. Keep up the good work.

With respect, I disagree.
As an electrical engineer, I can confidently assure you that the color of a pixel has an unnoticeable effect on battery life. Black backgrounds would have no effect on battery life. The backlight is the battery-drainer, and the theme has nothing to do with that. Other than that, the way that WM is written, it's almost impossible to do what you're suggesting. My aim was to give a "mostly black" theme that the Microsoft set of themes were missing. I suppose your argument on the semantics of the theme name is correct, but I guess that's why I'm not an english major
Thanks for the suggestion!
Hi guys,
I know that the "screen filter" app exists,
but would anyone be willing to code an app that
basically inverts ALL colors (or white to a dark grey) on screen ?
I don't know if it's supported at all by the android APIs but perhaps someone has an idea how to do it
this would save HUGE AMOUNTS of energy when reading
e.g. PDF files with only text in them
or browsing on lots of sites with also only have a white background and (little) dark text
this is especially applicable to those devices using AMOLED displays such as the Samsung Galaxy S (I own one)
If you'd be willing to code it for the community - that would be great
if you'd need some donation - that will be OK, too
I'm sure others would join, too, since that app really would help to get a much longer battery runtime in those usage cases
Many thanks in advance
I'm not sure
but I think I found what I was looking for:
IDEAL Magnifier
nope - only for camera-input
it's getting close
anyone knows of an app that can invert the screen's content ?
otherwise it should be still correctly place in "development" subforum

edit2:
getting the browser from cyanogenmod into ROMs also would be quite helpful
http://www.drakaz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=468
*bump*
seriously - no one has interest in this kind of app ?
*bump*
I'm very interested in this thread. If only someone could shed some light on the topic. Also, would it be possible to port cyanogenmod browser to other roms?
*bump*

@boarder.2k9, ickyboo:
I think the problem is - that this is quite a very interesting topic (much potential)
and perhaps devs also might be willing to do it
but they are hesitant because it's some more work than the usual "hey - this music app doesn't include these features - let's code a new one"
a bounty (called "donation" in the post above) might make it (especially the whole-screen invert app) much more attractive to code I believe
if that's possible from Android's side, that is
it might be the case that it'll only work with CyanogenMod due to some pretty deep changes to the system
I'm not really coding much - I'm more the kind of linux-distro kernel patchset guy so I have no clear idea what requirements might be needed for this "stunt"

Yah, some1 should sort this out....
Bump, ouch my knee.

For webpages, see my signature for one way to force black backgrounds on the stock web browser.
Bump! As I just posted on the thread in the general Android forum, :
I very much want this, too! Not only would it be great for night time viewing and amoled power savings, but it would also provide some wear leveling/un-burn-in effects for the notification bar, keyboards, etc.! Say you use the inverted mode 50% of the time, it would completely counter burn-in from the other 50%.
Please, someone, do it and I'll pay handsomely. I'll pitch in $20 to a bounty, anyways.
It should be almost as easy as CyanogenMod's render effects or Chainfire 3D's night mode. If they can take each pixel's intended color, calculate that minus green and blue, and output the result, they should be able to take the color, calculate the inverse, and output that, instead. I'm not a programmer, though, so I may be off base.
I don't have a Galaxy S I9000, but I'm also looking for this. I don't know if Quick Invert is compatible with this device (it isn't with My Nexus S), but the developer shares some ideas for a more universal implementation here.

Hey Everybody
Due to the unacceptable in-call quality of CM7 and MIUI on my O2X, I am forced to use Stock or Modaco. (Yes I have tried all RIL+BB combos)
Unfortunately the Stock/Modaco style looks like someone drank a lot of curacao and vomited inside my phone.
My theme request is as follows. Can someone please find/replace all the curacao vomit color with perhaps some gingerbread green and make a stock or modaco compatible theme? Bonus would be if menu items where all white a'la CM7.
I have no idea what the extend of this request really is, but if you come through on this - I will be your facebook friend anytime, perhaps even myspace.
Thanks

The way you wrote this I don't think many people will even read what you actually wrote.... at least I didn't even bother.
If you have something to say why not stick to the grammatical rules like only capitols on the first word of a sentence unless it's a name or something...
lol, i gave up reading after about the third word.
I assume this is a troll post, as thats a crazy amount effort to goto to make something unreadable.
There is something called full stops and New lines dude.

If you are comparing AMOLED to LCD, you will never get the same godawful, ugly, inaccurate colors as Samsung AMOLED. Also, the contrast won't be the same. Different screen technologies.

It's an official update. Connect your phone to your pc and use pc companion to check for updates.
The old ROM comparison chart is outdated and the structure is a bit messy, so I want to make a new one, exclusively for lollipop ROMs.
Lollipop Custom ROM Comparison Database
My info collection method:
1) Rom name + version number + XDA Link
2) Rom Logo
3) I start by visiting every stock menu entry (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Display) in settings app and write out the options that were added to stock lollipop.
4) Then, I write out added menu entries (themes, performance profiles).
5) Upload screenshots on imgur as a vertical album. (Or better: screenrecord extra menus and upload on youtube)
6) Insert imgur/youtube link at the end of the column.
7) Add rows if necessary.
To avoid trolling I made the document read-only. Download the original one edit it and attach it below.

Good attempt, hope this will grow slowly but steady.
We already have had a ROM comparison, but not related to Nexus 5, was more kind of general.
The guys moved to an Excel Online spread sheet now. But also, only general, not Nexus 5 related.
If you join them or if you do your own thing, I wish you all the best. But if you come up with a bigger comparison, let's say with 5 or more ROMs compared, drop a PM or post it in my Nexus 5 index thread and I will include it.
Added Cataclysm ROM and RastaPop
Added Dirty Unicorns 9.1

Hi, I'm one of the members of the team that started this and I can only thank you for mentioning it.
As you've said, we recently moved to Office 365 which allows us to expand and host a whole new range of features; it would be wonderful if you (OP) could check it out and maybe we could 'join forces'
Thanks
Clarify Please
Not to be a smart ass....
But Could you please explain how or what the colors / symbols mean please.
I get it opened up and it has light green and a light red with u's with dots on top.
What do they mean?
Green is ok, good working? Red is bad, not working?
Maybe some simple Y's and N's...
IDK
Thank you for the time to make the chart.
I'm about to upgrade to v5 Lolipop and Found it interesting, helpful.

I really appreciate the work of your team, as I, myself have used your comparison database several times in the past, but as android was updated to lollipop and developers started rebuilding their roms, most of information in the database became inaccurate (at least for Nexus 5). For example Xposed is barely working, paranoid is just vanilla with theme engine (for now), dirty unicorns doesn't have pie, pac-rom is still stuck at kitkat and so on. That's why I had the idea to start fresh.
Also I wanted the feature list to be better organized and more intuitive.
As your database needs a serious renewal, I suggest we refine my feature list and than add roms step-by-step.

Interesting project, I'll keep an eye on it.
Just wanted to report there are some inconsistencies with the Euphoria entry: it DOES have customizable quick tiles, long-press recents for last app, menu on both sides, 3+ tiles per row (3 or 4 to be precise).
Unfortunately I don't have time to mainatin the entry myself since I don't flash regularly so I'm usually not up to speed with the features.
Anyway, excellent work, bookmarked!
