[Q] Dark Display?? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,
I just tried both the stable cm10 and the new PA roms (didn't know my phone could work that fast!!!) and the only problem I have seen so far is with very dark pictures. It seems as if there is a mis-calibration with the screen but can't figure out how to change it. Changing brightness settings for the device doesn't do anything as it isn't an led error but more an interpretation error.
Has anyone else noticed this???
fyi I came from a cm9 rom but I can't remember which one...
Thanks
~~edited title to better reflect the issue. It affects the whole display (including home screen)
~~downloaded and tested Screen Adjuster and it works by upping the rgb values by about 20-30% however it causes tremendous slow down of the system. Still just wondering why such a difference in screen display between a cm9 build and both jelly bean builds that I tried.

Thought I would add a pic so you can see the difference. The displays used to show pretty much the exact same pic and now you can see how much darker the one on the phone is.
Thanks again for any help, always appreciated!

Never mind. I reflashed the rom and did NOT install the ns4g modem mod and that corrected the issue. At a guess it was the voodoo color that caused the difference but I don't know enough to say for sure. I just saw that was the only thing that really could have affected the display...

Tried to get the patch to work again and I got the same dark results that I didn't like. I read through and saw that there was a reference to nitest kernel in the patch. I went over and flashed the newest and that fixed it to a reasonable value half way between what I was used to and the way too dark that the patch gave. So here is the order I did:
flashed rom CM10
flashed gapps gapps for CM
flashed patch NS4g patch
flashed nitest Nitest
If someone could direct me to voodoo control that is referenced??? I can't find it on play store and I searched the forums but I just find posts that talk about it, not any that point to it. Would be appreciated!

You should be able to get the latest app in the play store search for voodoo sound as the name has changed

Much appreciated! Didn't even think that the display options would be available when it only identified sound...

[Q] white screen for camera and video feedback after updating to gingerbread

just wondering if anyone knows what is going on with my evo and if its only mine oppose to everyone else. i haven't found anyone else complaining of this issue but every time i update from 2.2.1 to 2.3 or higher my camera display feed back is all white. also any video (i've only tried mp4) on my sdcard playback is all white, i do however hear the sound from the video. i've tried at least three different roms, including the rooted version of the ota release.
that being said when i flash back to 2.2.1 or earlier my camera works perfectly again!? i just don't get it. maybe i missed something... any helps is appreciated. i certainly would like to enjoy the updated perks of androids constantly evolving capability. but i really use my camera a lot.
figured it out
thanks for the prompt replies, lol. just kidding. i reflashed synergy and this time around the camera and video feedback are working. this time around i went into mounts and storage in recovery and formatted each individually, more specifically the /system partition. also this time around i did not flash netarchy kernel. not sure which did the trick but 2.3.3 is working flawlessly now. hopefully this will help someone else experiencing this issue.
Do not use Netarchy with Gingerbread. HTC has not released the Gingerbread kernel source yet, so Netarchy is still based on Froyo.
Netarchy kernel + Gingerbread Sense = white camera and a couple other issues
We'll be stuck with stock for a while, until HTC unleashes the kernel source.
:-/
oh wow, that sucks royally. so im guessing cpu scaling or swap partitions are out of the question? i don't really use swap partitions but i do like the capability lol. oh well, its not like 998mhz is a bad cpu speed. and honestly when i use scaling i keep it at 768mhz to save the battery and it still runs smooth. but thanks for the reply! glad to know for sure it was the kernel.

[Q] Questions re: Incredibly(^<Paranoid2.19.30Final, Sense-based ROMs

Long time lurker, first time poster (which means I can't post in the actual ROM thread). If my thread is inappropriate, please feel free to revise/delete as necessary. If additional information is needed from me, please advise.
By way of background: I have experience with flashing on this phone dating back to Gingerbread with IncredibleHD and MikRunny from "another site". I came over from a Samsung Fascinate where I was also flashing ROMs. So while not an expert in the actual development of the device, I would like to think I am somewhat experienced with flashing ROMs at least.
Incredibly(^<Paranoid2.19.30Final Questions:
With my current flash of Incredibly(^<Paranoid2.19.30Final, I am not running any themes and installation should be basically standard (though I did have to flash the October GApps package over it because there was no way to set up a Google account).
1. Aroma: The Revised OP still talks about the Aroma installer (I know that there have been two versions of the ROM zip in the past). When I flashed 2.19.30, there was no Aroma installer. Bad download or mistake in OP? Answered in Post #4.
2. Camcorder: Regular camera and FFC are working correctly. The OP says that the camcorder has 720p enabled at this point. However, I do not see anywhere in the settings to change the quality of the camcorder, and the camcorder is currently recording at 480p. How do I change the camcorder to 720p? Answered by The Man himself in Post #14.
3. Bluetooth in Car: With the various AOSP ROMs, when connecting the phone to my car via Bluetooth (not A2DP, just a headset profile), I get sound but it is garbled beyond belief while ringing. For any music buffs, the sound is basically the first chord of "I Believe In a Thing Called Love" by The Darkness...as the sound of a phone ringing. Per Rushead's post #710, it appears that Bluetooth headsets and in-call voice are not functional, which is a known issue in AOSP ROMs under ICS and JB with no fix. Has this been resolved in this ROM since "everything" works but LED camera flash? Answered in Post #9 via OP for Incredibly(^<Paranoid Collection.
4. Status Bar Clock: I want to eliminate the clock in the status bar. I go in to the AOKP settings via Settings > ROM Control > Clock > Clock Style and select "No Clock". This removes the clock from the status bar. However, when the phone goes to sleep, and I come back through the lock screen, the clock is back. Going back in to the settings as referenced above, the "No Clock" option is still selected...and yet there is a clock there. If my memory serves me, in Aeroevan's CM10 the option would be under Settings > System > Status Bar, but there is no option for the clock there in Incredibly(^<Paranoid. Obviously not a huge deal, but just curious if anyone has a suggestion. Answered in Post #9; works fine in CM10 so who cares.
Any information or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
VenomINC 1.3.1 Question:
While my primary questions are related to Incredibly(^<Paranoid as I am digging JB at the moment, as I am already running up my technical support bill I figure I will ask a VenomINC question as well.
I have tried the various Sense-based ROMs under ICS (but VenomINC in particular...same thing, standard install, no themes) and have a giant issue that does not seem to have popped up in that thread: everything works perfectly, with one exception: no audio comes out of the headphone jack. I have tried an aux cable in the car, regular headphones...nothing. This makes the Sense ROMs unusable for me personally, as I spend a good amount of time in the car for work and listen to podcasts/music.
As best I can tell, I believe that this only happens with Sense 4 based ROMs (UKB, ViperINC, EclipticSense over on "another site") but not with Sense 3.6 ROMs (Ascension, the Nitsuj ICS leak) or with CM based ROMs (including Aero's CM10). I will note that I have not tried changing the kernel - I understand that Viper is using the Chinese kernel, while some of the other ROMs have the leak kernel.
The issue was raised in the ViperINC thread by user artcotto in post #s 615, 634, 689, 691, and 693 with no resolution beyond Nitsua98 helpfully suggesting that maybe his headphones were broken (they were not). I have flashed the various updates to ViperINC since November and the issue has not gone away. Any information on this would be appreciated as well as I am a bit of a flashoholic and would likely go back and forth between Sense and AOSP (even though as noted above JB is pretty awesome).
Thank you for the great community and for any information and assistance you can provide. Thanks to all the developers for all the hard work you have done for our phone (which was apparently ancient and incapable of upgrade by HTC the second we bought it) allowing me to have a current phone without needing to buy a NEW phone.

Have you tried earlier versions of ViperInc? I am using 1.0.2 and have none of the issues I was having with 1.3.1 (which were not your issues - just lag). Another question would be - and I'm not sure this would really affect the jack - have you flashed the firmware?
Re: [Q] Questions re: Incredibly(^<Paranoid2.19.30Final, Sense-based ROMs
Question number 1: that was a kind of op misunderstanding, a previous version included aroma, while the best one does not, your download was fine

I have not tried going back to prior versions of ViperINC, though I believe I have used from 1.1 onward and had this issue. I didn't mention in my original post, but yes, I have flashed the ICS firmware with the 0320 radio. Maybe 1.0.2 would be worth a try (though I'm not sure there is a way to get old versions of the ROM).
Re: [Q] Questions re: Incredibly(^<Paranoid2.19.30Final, Sense-based ROMs
This might sound odd. I've been on viper the longest. No lag. I installed super su n un installed their SU. Also got a busy box installer from the market n updated the phones busy box. I'm also running defensed but made sure I popped in rosie, but it's frozen n I'm running nova. Night n day I tell ya.

fwiw, i also have 0320 radio with headphones working fine. i was previously on ViperInc 1.2.0 and EclipticSense and it also worked fine.
Can you think of anything else you did with your phone around the time you first started experiencing the headphone issue?

Not that I'm aware of. As I mentioned above, I don't think it's a "hardware" issue, in the sense that even now I have no problems with CM 10, Incredibly(^<Paranoid2.19.30, etc. My best thought was that it may be something with the way the Sense 4 ROMs interact with the hardware, i.e. maybe the kernel on my particular phone? But I have no idea. At some point I will try flashing the "leak" kernel over the VenomINC install.
What I'm more interested in at this point is 720p recording on Incredibly(^<Paranoid2.19.30Final (And I am looking forward to Chilly throwing together a CM10 ROM).
If we keep going back and forth we can rack up enough posts to start posting at the grown-up table :good:
So the revised OP for what is now the Incredibly(^<Paranoid Collection answered a couple of the questions.
Bluetooth phone calls do not work in any of Chilly's ROMs.
I flashed his CM10, and the issue with the clock in the status bar is resolved. This leads me to believe it is an AOKP/PA issue; I am fine with CM10 anyway so no big deal there.
However, when I flashed CM10, the same issue exists with the camcorder. FFC and regular camera work great for photos; there is no option to change the camcorder to 720p.
Re: ViperINC issue: I flashed ViperINC 1.3.1 again, and this time I flashed the "leak" kernel over it. Still no audio through the headphones. I tried turning Beats Audio on/off, did not do anything.
Only issues I have with Viper is it will not connect to my media server via the native apps. I also have been experiencing lag but I think it's mainly due to lack of ram as a reboot usually clears it up. Also if you toggle gps off it doesn't work unless you reboot.

that reminds me, i also have the Sony XLoud disabled in ViperINC

I did not install XLoud in the Viper Installer, just went with Beats. As I said in the OP, I know that my issue was previously mentioned but it does not seem like anybody ever found out the cause.
Bluetooth phone calls are not a dealbreaker for me. At this point, if the 720p recording is actually working, I would be happy with CM10 as a daily driver (though I may check out Evervolv as well to see what 4.2 can do). I just can't find the setting...
So what I think I pieced together: the Chilly collection of ROMs does not have 720p recording. When he was talking about the camera being fixed 99.999% except for flash, he was talking about FFC only, and the ROMs do not have 720p recording. I am hoping I am wrong but confirmation would be appreciated.
It may be a situation like the DKStunna thread, where it was proudly proclaimed at the top that "EVERYTHING WORKS", except for the stuff that didn't that you were just supposed to know hadn't been fixed. When Chilly said in Post #875 that "Lol FFC can works ..led flash works but not with taking pictures...video etc works" that does not appear to mean that 720p recording works.

I had got 720p working but it caused problems so I removed it u caught the thread before the revamp
Currently working on most my roms is
FFC with recording
Tethering with 3party app
I will be implementing fixes for led flash
Blue tooth works but has some bugs
Mostly everything works with fixes that I will be implementing
The pa I upped has fixes already baked in ..I'm yet to try BT yet
Once fixes have been baked the roms will be fully functional minus 720p

That must have been what happened...I have kept up with the thread fairly regularly and thought I saw that 720p had been figured out, but as you said that must have been before it was pulled. I was confused why nobody was mentioning it in the thread considering it would have been big news.
Chilly, thanks for the response, and thanks for all the hard work you do to make the phone feel like new. We're lucky to have such talented devs keeping our device relevant. Keep doing what you do! :highfive:
To the Mods: that should wrap up this thread if you want to lock it. I do not believe there is an answer to my remaining question about ViperINC and audio through the headphone jack.

Sweet. I'm locked in my phone till November so I'll be like 1 outta 12 people left with the phone rocking ICS. Sounds exciting
Can usb tethering be done in cm10. I saw the WiFi app thread but nothing on usb.
Not to bump an old thread, but since I still can't post in the actual development thread: Chilly said in Post #1369 of his ROM thread that "No such thing as 100% but yes everything should work other then rotating hard keys bust out the champagne!"
Therefore my question is, once again: how do you change video recording quality to 720p in the camcorder? There still doesn't seem to be an option for it. Any info would be appreciated.

[Q] Screen sensitivity on JB roms

Hello everyone!
I've been busy lately flashing different roms to my t989, trying to solve the problem described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161262.
I've tried some of the newest roms and kernels (All-star 4.2, CM10, 10.1, AOKP) but the issue is still there. The attached APK on that thread does not work And I have no idea how to do the kernel modification ;(
Anything that can be done to solve it? The touchscreen sensitivy option is grayed out on the roms I've tried so far. It's annoying on games like Modern Combat, or TeamViewer (mouse is jumpy). Or do I have to modify an existing kernel? :crying:
Thanks!
I have just noticed this problem.. no wonder the touchscreen sometimes jumps in Dead Trigger
Thank you for bringing this up, hopefully the kernel devs will take a look at this and probably fix this
It could be a slider or something like that :laugh:
I just noticed that, I was noticing lag, mainly in the youtube application when i'm scrolling, thought it was my rom or phone. I notice it as well with the ripple lock option in embryo 6.

[Q] 4.2.2 Sound Low and Kernel Help

Hey guys, I have been experimenting with several of the newer 4.2.2 ROMS. What I have seemed to notice about all of them is the low sound. The only one that I could get to work with Voodoo Sound Control was CarbonROM. I was still not impressed with how low the sound was. I am in love with how those ROMS look I just need the sound to go along with it. My question is, what ROM and Kernel pairs together well that supports Voodoo Sound Control as well?
My other question is about Kernels. I have downloaded at least 3 Kernels and have tried to flash them all with the ROMs i downloaded as well. They have successful flashes, but as soon as I Reboot the phone it gets stuck and never gets past the loading screen. can someone help me with whatever I am doing wrong to get these Kernels to flash over properly and what ROMS and goes with what Kernels. Because I am tired of going back to 4.1.2. So any help would be thankful

You are flashing TW version kernels. No issues with sound levels here.
CARBON NIGHTLIES. | KROZ BROWN Theme | Crack Flasher
there really isnt a fix for the low sound 4.2.2 due to the current crop of releases being based off other Note 2 devices, and associated port issues. tons of threads on the issue and potential semi fixes.
really is no way around it at this point, just have to be a little patience, till samsung released the stock 4.2.2 for the devs to get to maximizing

[Q] Kernel with color calibration

Hello. I recently acquired the i747. I used and toyed a lot with a i9300, but not anymore. So, while Im not totally new to the whole process I am new to this device and the options avaialable for flashing.
Im using C-Rom link and Im trying to find a kernel that allows me to modify the volume (I get really low call volume) and also that allows me to change the color calibration.
I have been searching but I cant seem to find that many options. In this forums i've found kernes that do one or the other but for jelly bean or for TW.
Can anyone lead me to a kernel that can do both?
