Clock on CHome CClock page does not display correctly shows as 7:28000
any way to fix this? Using win mo 6.1 as well.

Just Change the settings for your clock to 2400 hours instead of PM and AM.

what does this do?
can anyone tell me what this does? thanks a lot for the info

Love it, except for the signal and battery meters on top
Has anybody else noticed that, when in a screen other than the homescreen (I'm using the colored iconbar plugin from Rinku), the signal, battery, and message icons on the top bar appear as only white boxes? Also, the comm manager doesn't work right, none of the "buttons" glow and I can only choose the phone one by pressing the number 1. Pressing 2, 3, 4, etc don't appear to do anything...
Is there a way to fix this?
I REALLY want to keep the 96dpi running. It looks really nice, and improves my homescreen real estate.
Anyone figure out a way to fix this?
GREAT tweak, other than those minor bugs...
THanks for your work!!

DPI usually mean Dots per inch, which is another way to describe resolution. i'd say to check out the excalibur forum for the full story... i'm abotu to myself
EDIT:
pudgedaddy said:
...basically this works similarly to increasing your screen resolution on your PC.(minus the actual resolution changing) meaning it fits more stuff on your devices display since it shrinks down what is placed on your screen.

has anyone tried this on WM6.0 yet? i have not upgraded to 6.1 for various reasons, btu a change in the DPI sounds like a plus to any rom... i may just have to try this anyway...

I'm running WM6.1, and it works great, with the exception of the issues a couple posts up from me. I"m still using it though, the issues aren't enough to outweigh the cool benefits!
Install it and enjoy...

I agree. Other than the issues with the clock which was changed with military time everything is great for me. And if you dont like it then remove the cab and it will revert.

What is the Default DPI
Does anybody know what the default DPI is for the Shadow?

I dont get why when I Run CeleCMD all i see is boxes instead of actual words. Any one else having this problem?

I have the White Box Problem as well. They don't seem to be going away and My Buttons 1-9 are non-responsive as well and fix for this!

Default DPI for the shadow is 131

Samsung Galaxy S trick:Change brightness with a simple swype!!!

Yes it works!
You can change the brightness from the home screen without change any option or install any application.
Press on the notification bar (not open it) and after shows up with the date, just swype left or right to adjust the brightness!!!
Here is my video on youtube to see how it works:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFABj8LvD3g

Welcome to 2010 lol. (sorry!).
I think the correct way to do it is just to hold an area on the notification bar (not swype). left is less bright, right is more bright. (at least on latest fws it works like this).

This has been known since éclair. You must have auto brightness off for it to work though.
Thanks for sharing anyway, original thread has probably been lost in the folds. I'm sure there are plenty of new sgs users on here all the time. It is still one of the best smartphones on the market today, and now it's dirt cheap.

Look man. Maybe is an old trick but for some new users might also be something useful!!
So there is no need all this irony....

Although i agree that it might be handy for new users... There is always room for irony or as in this case sarcasm i believe. I rated this find a single facepalm.

I had the phone for one week and didn't knew about this...thanks for sharing!

Had this phone from january and did not knew about this...i am embaressed.

Its not a hidden trick or anything. Its even documented in the user manual.

When the notification bar is in the landscape mode you can swipe it more brighter

Display problem !!!

Hi friends.... all fine?
i have a problem with my Desire hd .... a display problem... i have the AUO display
When I turn the screen (I remove him from stanndby) appears for a moment a vertical strip. Then he goes immediately away
this occurs only when the brightness of the display isn't set at minimum.. if the brightness is set to maximum or minimum it happens ...if the brightness set at minimum it will NOT happen
here is the video .. so you can look what is the problem
look the video
i have the original rom froyo 2.2 ... software 1.32 ... and i have make a format ... now i don't know what to do...
help me please... and sorry for my bad english

sorry, I can't help you with your problem, but in my opinion that looks like a hardware defect. I'd bring it in for a repair simply to prevent this issue from turning into something worse.
On another topic: to improve visibility of stuff like that, you should set your camera to manual exposure. Also, y did you film your phone, play that video on your computer and then film your computer screen?
btw: here's a frozen frame showing that line:

Hello, meanwhile, thanks for the answer
i made the video with my professional camera... and the weight of the file was 143mb ... so... after the video...i have play it with my pc and i have made another video with my desire hd... so the weight is only 6mb
eheh...
you mean that's a hardware problem? but why it does not happen with minimum light of display?

Hey, no problem at all But I still thinkt that there should be a better way to compress a video

are you sure it doesn't happen or could it be that it happens, you just can't see it (as the line would be darker or maybe some other effect that delays the backlight-on until the line already disappeared, or ...)?
Another way to eliminiate a software problem: just turn your phone off and back on, does the vertical line appear or not? (at that time there should'nt be a lot of software loaded that could mess with this)

when the display light is on minimum it does not happen... i'm sure... nothing... zero...
but when i turn on the phone it happen... grrrrrrr... so it's not a software problem... it happens not when you turn on the display .... but when the cell raises the brightness...
what a pity

what do you mean by that? Does the line appear when you set the screen brightness to minimum and turn it up afterwards? (so basically slide the brightness-selector from min to max and back)

no no ... I think the problem is related to the fact that it is caused when the cell has to raise the brightness as I have set this
if I put the brightness to a minimum the display does not give that problem powering up
so i think that the brightness case the problem and not the switching on

any supportfor me please?
i think i have to go in htc/support
beacuse i have make flash... change radio... change kernel... change rom ... and the problem persist

Simply run the 1.32 RUU, then root it and do radio S-ON (IF you have it now, otherwise there's no need to do that), then unroot it.
Now your phone is completely stock and ready to be sent to HTC

About Team-Nocturnals Shooter (Full sense 3.0) for Speedy

Great ROM, stable, no lag. But I have noticed some bugs or weird features in Team-Nocturnals Shooter, GB 2.3.4 Sense 3.0 dodge kernel 1.6, HTC Evo Shift 4g
1. It's near to imposible to add HTC widgets to the home screens because when the desired widget is selected, the system returns to the customize home screen section, so the widget isn't added or very rare.
2. When managing apps, if you go to the app details, sometimes it will start to compute the size of the app changing numbers very fast; If you click on the Move to SD card when the numbers are changing, you will move another app (not selected) or get error messages.
3. The Quick settings area at notification area show as second line 'Javascript' or 'Navigate away from this page?' in most options.
Question: Is it posible to use wide backgrounds and move between home screens moving the background to? I don't see how.

this should be posted on the roms post

Yes I know, but I don't have enough "useful posts" to post there.

Well we'll just see what we can do about that

hehehe Ok, I will do it, this is a very nice ROM and I want to help to find any issue as user.
Thanks

Ok, tnx a lot. I'll do it.

In the meanwhile, I noticed that the apps moved to a SD card and added to any home screen, will lose their stock icon in the next boot, showing the generic android app icon. That's another issue with this rom.

This is a probably more a question than a incident. I use an app to protect apps from running without a pin or password to protect privacy. Smart applock Pro. I used the stock rom, cm7 based, sense based, and this is the only rom where I'm getting a message from the market telling that the app is not suitable for my device.
The free version doesn't show that message, and was installed without any trouble. Developer or ROM issue? I will check.

i have the same issue here. this works in mikg. but not in shooter... i've done a full wipe too.... any ideas?

Suddenly with this rom my cel become more and more unstable, I got frequent reboots, some lags and error messages. And even I never had the video playing issue (I read somewhere people with an issue when playing video) it finally appear . Plus now, when a I get a call, the caller id image is like garbage video. I liked this rom at first because is fast and has the best sense I've seen since the stock rom. But I'm not using it anymore, I changed briefly to MikRunny beta (sense 3.5), it's a little heavier than this, but better I think. I returned to a cm7 based rom because MikRunny is at beta stage and I noticed the enable/disable 3g control is broken and I can't switch between networks easy, just rebooting.

May be the celphone became unstable because I was trying different values for the cpu clock and governor. I was using dodge kernel and played with smartass, ondemand and interactive governor settings, and with bfq and deadline schedulers. My best experience was with deadline and ondemand scheduler. It was as if I had a new and faster phone.

Xperia Z1 yellow screen improvement filter

So my screen has a yellow hue like many of you had (not really noticeable unless you view an all white page against something white in the background). I don't think this is a screen defect, because all screen/monitor/tv will come with a universal preset setting, but not all panels are the same, so while this setting will look good on a certain batch, it will look slightly off on another batch. So to test it out, I downloaded Filter Your Screen from Google Play to adjust the screen setting.
I use this as my setting:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Applied the filter, and the yellow hue is gone from the screen. Sorry I don't have another camera to capture the before and after screen, but you can try it out for yourself.

white looks alot better now. thanks.

Nice so no more yellow tint! Here comes the blue tint!

you just adjust the "alpha" and "red" value until the "Filter" looks white to you. mine looked so much better, barely any blue tint.

White looks much whiter and barely notice the blue tint thanks!

does it drain the battery?

works really well just tried it, its the best I have had the screen look so far. Im not worried about the yellow tint thing anymore now.

I don't like having apps running in the background, but it worked for me too. But now I will remove it

Haven't tried with this app yet, but other screenfilters introduce a bug where you can not manually install apk's anymore as they make it impossible to press the 'Install' button (very weird bug, in the installer/framework apperantly).
I'll chekc with this one as well, just something to keep in mind if you stumble upon this issue
Does seem to help for me as well, but believe this was also mentioned in combination with another screen filter app already

I have tried the other app and I like this one a lot better the colours seem to be right the other one you end up with a bit more blue tinge or not quite getting rid of the yellow tinge. This app seems to get the closest of having good colours for me anyway

just want to tell you guys again, that my screen was fine after resetting to factory settings. I know setting up a device again can be a pain in the *** but to me it was worth it. maybe it also works for you, so you don't need any additional apps

my XZ1 gets a better grey level with OP settings
but we have to work on the light colors, closer to the white, because they get a little bit blue than corresponding real ones

same for me. hard reset 2 times, nothing changed. so this is suppose to be calibration problem right? not hardware? since you could use apps to adjust the screen.

just notice that this app and screen adjuster doesn't change the color of the on screen button.

screen is not a problem. I think it will get better with the update
