Hi Guys,
I've seen some discussion around the HD2's screen colour depth.
I've been doing some experimenting and have found that the colour depth is decreased when using a live wallpaper.
Im using the Darkstone's Froyo V1 Build with Cotulla's latest zImage. I havn't tested with the Sense build yet...
Give it a try :-
Set a Live Wallpaper
Now Add The Analogue clock widget, power control and Home Screen Tips widgets to a blank desktop.
Notice the Gradients of the widgets look blocky and appear low resolution.
Now apply a normal Image Wallpaper and you'll notice a real increase in quality of the gradients in those Widgets
I've taken screenshots to show you but when the screenshot of the Live wallpaper is looked at on the computer it looks perfect so must be an issue with the Way the HD2 is displaying it..
Here's the 2 screenshots :-
goodness me, does every little detail require a new thread?

Goodness me do threads cost you anything?? -
Dont read them if your not interested?
This is something that no-one has noticed so far and actually could be quite important - now why dont you go back to your 9million page thread and continue pointing people to post#4 like the real helpful fella you are eh....ffs
Yes, it's especially noticeable on the anologue clock but not on the pics you posted up. Didnt notice it at first. Sharp eyes you've got there. Lol

HD2 has poor colour quality from the get go, running multiple applications let alone an OS that is overlapping another OS on top of of multiple applications running in the background is bound to have more than some effects, least of all important right now being the colour. I have no idea what you're talking about, but perhaps a quick browse over the forum rules would be a good start, it isnt 9 million pages long so you shouldnt have too much trouble. The least you could do is post in a thread of whoever ROM/Android release you are using.

Yeah unfortunately they look normal on the screenshots i took for some reason which leads me to believe there's an issue with the way it's been displayed on the HD2.

First of all - the point of my post was to 'Prove' that the HD2 can display more then 65K colours as was first thought, if you'd read my post at all - what you've posted above is a complete nonsensical response.
This IS important as people 'like you' seem to think the HD2's screen is of low quality when in fact it isn't.
Maybe you'd have an idea of what im talking about if you took the time to read my post instead of 'trying' to be a Mod?
Maybe you should peruse the Forum rules and then you may in fact realise that i havn't broken any of them?
I wasn't moaning about it not booting, GSOD, SOD, No Sound etc i posted a unique 'observation' that may help in the further development of 'proper' graphics drivers for our port.
I also wasn't moaning about a bug of this particular build - so why should it be posted in the Thread for that build?
I just think some people around here have a chip on their shoulder and are trying to be something they are not - & you dear sir are not an XDA mod.
...whoa...nice...calm down guys...calm down...
Yep, no reason to get upset. I think that's a pretty interesting point you found there. Do you have any opportunity to store the screenshots into a lossless format? I really can't tell any significant difference from the two jpg´s you've posted there - been watching the two for about a minute and i can tell you that my eyes are known to color difference detection
i think it's better a thread like this than the 2348740860th always about "no booting, no sound, no radio, no android, no intelligence", all completely useless if the author read the forum form 5 minutes before posting, this thread is about a new "problem / symptom" and it's not useless... maybe it's not importante now to obtain 16m colors, but it's always something that can be fixed
on topic guys Dev forum not flaming
Keep it peaceful

i haven't really used an actual android phone (day to day) but im sure Google put that in there, because of Live wallpaper taking up CPU power thus lowering the quality of widgets.
EDIT: and the pics look EXACTLY the same (except for the wallpaper and time of coarse.)
but, on the device itself it is less quality, ive seen it before and thats why i use a static wallpaper.
Hi guys, yeah as i said in the post for some reason the screenshots taken directly didnt really show the difference for some reason.
I've taken some pictures using a camera and the difference is clearly highlighted here.
Cheers

I installed a live wallpaper on my Desire V5 build and noticed that the moon on the weather portion of the Sense clock (it was a clear night last night) changed color and looked a little more green than gray with the live wallpaper running. Don't know if its a bug or not, but it's just my observation.
Sorry to resurrect this ageing thread but it at least shows I bothered to search for it.
I seem to get this effect on some ROMS more than others, I also get it on the wallpaper itself but only for some.
I am thinking that it must be the wallpaper itself for me, it must be in a colour depth beyond the capabilities of the phone. For instance if I install the honeycomb ADW theme with the wallpaper enclosed I get this effect on the wallpaper.
Couldn't see any other threads about this, any ideas anyone?
Hey Everyone I just wanted to get some feedback from everyone on a youtube project I am starting. I want to make some video reviews that can show off some off the things the X10 and X10 mini can do.
I know a lot of people are not happy that we have NO MT or 2.2 but the X10 is still a great phone and I want to show everyone all the reasons why.
I have posted one already showing the X10 running psx4droid
http://www.youtube.com/user/xperiaproject
I know there is no audio and only background audio right now, but I did not have it on as it is choppy. The videos will get better and ill try to keep my reflection out of the screen . Thanks for any and all feedback.
If anyone wants to help with the project or has any ideas please let me know.
I hope this does not break any rules and if it does I'm so sorry and mods please feel free to close this post if needed.
I am sure you get more audience if you add the vibrator apps or light saber apps so the iphone user will be jealous of what your x10 can satisfy you every night while their iphone can't.
Thanks for the views everyone, if you have any comments or ideas im open to hear them. Thanks everyone

Buy a new camera.
I plan to, thanks for the feedback.
I think a demo video of the x10 running ADW would look great with the right settings/ background etc.. it swipes really smoothly a looks great switching from portrait to landscape, and into and out of preview mode... (Running on my X10i with R2BA026 !!)
Thanks for the Idea I will work on that.
THIS IS FOR WM 720p -NOT ANDROID 720p recording.
So it seems DFT has done it again, another great movement foward for the hd2, however users are still left without hd recording still. not that i expect dft to enable it (even though im sure they could figure it out) but i would like to hear some of your guys ideas in getting this great piece of machinery to record in hd. this thread is more for getting the community involved in development instead of you guys simply "leeching" (no offence). XDA is a very respected site and it would be a shame to have members only here to get the new coolest dohicky for their smart phone. dont forget, its called a community....SO LEARN HOW TO CONTRIBUTE
Personally i have been working on enabling 720p Rec. for a few months but sometimes 2 or more heads are better than one. if you want to know details reguarding my methods you can PM me but essentially i have been trying to tweak reg values to support higher res h.264 videos and/or creating or allocating the correct dlls for video capture-(trying to modify some of the OEM drivers).any help would be greatly appreciated. again, keep in mind this is windows mobile and does not do anything for android builds for now(for you not so sharp ones).
if anyone is intrested in testing AND sharing ideas please comment. other than that lets try to keep the sensless banter to a min.
I'd like to see everyone's sample shots that installed Jishnu's Camera MOD. Thanks!
I had them. But deleted already. I am not a fan of super proffesional photos, but i was able to see the difference.
Just try it yourselg. Image size is bigger anyway when you use his MOD. This is already a good reason to change camera apk and libs.
And this is not a Q&A tread. Please post your questions in right thread.
I see a lot of talk about bigger, but I'm thinking bigger ≠ better, or else LG's engineers would have set compression differently. Something in the tune of 2% subjective improvement with a 80% increase of file size isn't worth it either.
I'd also like to see some comparison shots, the thread is just too messy to get anything meaningful out of it in terms of quality experience, it's just "does it work / please test this / omg my phone is bricked".

Why not?Its not like the photos are 100mb each.Anything that will improove the quality of the photos,even the slightest,is welcome.Aside of that,the files arent that big either,maybe some kbs more and very rare to go further than 1mb...

I tried The EXTV3 version and returned back to the stock camera. Too noise in photos on my opinion. Many people like the mod so i think i will try again the updated version and post shots soon.
Thanks for sharing. I think many people are on the edge of trying it out but are not sure whether it objectively improves camera quality. I would be beneficial for OP as well since he will gain more downloads and potentially gain more donations. It's a win-win.
Camera MOD users, if you want to help out, you can spread the word by posting comparison shots.
Hey brother listen! Just use the stock cam and then flash this! You will see the difference.. and why are you concerned about donations? Did i beg you for that? This kinda man pisses everyone off frankly speaking..
It doesnt matter whether you get a good pic or not.. why dont you understand, this thread is not a part of my universe.. I dont have to deal with 14Fps video, you have to.. got it?

I'm confused why you're offended.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Lets not cause offence to anyone here. Try them both out yourself and make up your own mind weather it makes a difference or not.

NOTE: This quick video just shows my modifications and applications on my Nexus 5. If you want me to go into detail about each of them let me know as this is not a 'tutorial' video, but more like a 'teaser'. I hope you enjoy the video XD.
Any feedback?
ill be honest, not to hurt your feelings or anything, because that's not what im trying to do.. but why does it matter to me what apps and mods that you decided to use?

-people can discover new 'mods' xposed framework to download
-to see how AWESOME the NEXUS is
-because my videos are awesome?

ahh..
i think your vids can help more, if they got out more into the public, not really much help on xda though. more of the public is uninformed, as it would help there.

thats the problem :/ how will they reach if no one is giving feedback sharing or anything lol
I like the video. Music is good for the type of video, +1 to the wallpaper because turbos, intro is cool, +1 to the themes, I like the Settings tiling up animation (not sure if that makes sense).
Only thing I would say is smoother camera handling (e.g. min. 55, min. 2:13-2:15) and the angle you have your phone is good but at some points it's hard to tell what app, or what setting you're doing/using because the very top left is blurry.
Also I can tell I'm bored right now waiting for the wifey because I just spent a lot of time reviewing a 3 minute video lol
What's the purpose of the video?
Why not link apps and mods properly with descriptions and instructions.
Why not a step-by-step or how-to?
A 3 minute video I'm forced to watch is useless.
Why spend 3 minutes looking at something?
Now you have to pause, rewind, fast forward parts if you missed something.
Everything written out would save time and not waste everyone else's.
All I see is a video to generate views.

As stated above...I purposely made it without all that because it would be a waste of time. As I have asked what kind of videos people would like to see with no feedback, so I created this for fun. And you are forced? I don't see anyone holding a gun to your head...I mean go dislike, knock yourself out XD
