Hi there...
I am searching for hours now...
I want a Flashlight-App that uses the "ultra bright" mode..
all apps I found only were "medium bright"...
if you ever used a Flashlight-App on HD2 on Windows-Mobile, you should know, what I am talking about.
Only App I found was nexus-one-torch.
I think it "takes photos" to make the dual-LEDs go maximum brightness, but the disadvantage is: it flickeres alot..
Anyone knows a Flashlight-App that uses maximum brightness of the dual-LED-Flash on the HD2 with Android?
Thank you!!
Greetings from Germany!
I like Tesla led. it seems pretty good...
But Tesla LED is not as bright as Windows-Mobile or "Nexus One Torch".
It does not utilize the maximum led-brightness. :/
Why would you need the Max LED flashlight?
Are you gonna setup a party xD!
I think that.. its useless.. the "one" (referred to the settings/drivers) we got now is awesome.. i can clearly see everything in my room when the lights are off.
Because the device is capable of such a brightness..
aaaand...
BECAUSE ITS COOL!
and you risk damaging your led lights...

You risk destroying the LED's, they will burn out.
It doesn't matter what your own personal experiences are, they will break. Think of it like staring into a laser and not seeing instant visual disruption. It'll happen, just give it time and it'll mess things up.

Everything breaks eventually my friend. I admit it may shorten the leds life span but some might not care because they wont use their phone for years and years. I personally have been using high mode on my nexus one for over a year and its still going
If you need something brighter than tesla, wouldn't it make sense to just use a maglite? Phones are great for minor conveniences, but just like the cameras, if i wanted top quality photos, i'd buy a digital camera not try to squeeze quality out of an inferior cel phone cam. Same with the flashlight, great if u drop ur keys at night, not so much if you're trying to light up your whole backyard or something.
-HD2 Android-
i dont think the torch app really uses the brightest setting.
i think its a matter of being properly programmed/optimized for hd2.
You could try Mag Flashlight, it has two brightness levels, but I'm not sure if it can use dual LED
yeah i remember the stock Hd2 flashight was WAY brighter, it puts the ones on android to shame, i want it back!
Yes, I've downloaded all available flashlight apps on the android market for my htc hd2, and NONE of them have matched to the htc hd2's windows mobile version. That particular version had 3 settings, low medium and high. All of the android flashlight apps seem to match the MEDIUM setting that the windowsmobile version was able to output.
Can someone port or write an android app that's nearly identical to the stock htc hd2's flashlight app that had 3 settings, without the annoying 5 second demo animation at the beginning on how to use it? That third setting (high) was KILLER, and impressed all of my friends as to the htc hd2's dual led true potential!
Same here, anyone have found any program with full bright?
HERE IT IS! (well i think its it. IDK)
okay so i pulled this off my typhoon CM7. its the "Torch" app. it has a high brightness setting as well as a strobe feature. (i have my mini raves XD)
its in apk format.
put it in sdcard, use a file explorer to locate it and install it. it should work.
btw i forgot. if it works hit the thanks button have a good day.
Unfortunately, like everyone is saying even the one that you pulled from the typhoon (althought it says it is the highest possible setting) is not the brightest setting that WM was able to achieve. Anyone else still looking for this like me? If someone who knows what they are doing could do this, it would be awesome!
For those that don't understand why we want this, you haven't used the WM LED flashlight long enought. I actually have great stories that goes along with the brightness of HD2 flashlight in WM (from everyone envying me at concerts to saving a bunch of us in the middle of the woods after the sun went down in the middle of a hike that went wrong =P).
I have it on Bionix-V 1.2.1 and it is acting a bit 'squirrely' Anyone else try it yet?
All my friends are on wordfeud, I don't associate with apple users. lol
Seriously I'll go try it out, I do have a few iphone user friends still that haven't seen the light.
I'm seeing complaints about it being buggy on a bunch of different forums. Then again, what did people really expect from Zynga?
So yeah, make your iPhone friends wait until Word Feud is out for iOS
Wordfued better then wordsmith?

Is it just my Vibrant, or is the game not sharp when zoomed out? The scored numbers are pretty blurry and not as sharp as on other phones I've seen. When I zoom in they look fine. Anyone else noticing thing?

Looks perfect here. Have you messed with your LCD density value?
not sure how i can do that...i'm running the bionix v 1.2.1 rom. do you think that could be causing a problem?
Lots of force closes.
Clunky, ugly interface.
Notifications spotty at best.
No option to disable sounds so it makes childish noises whenever you open a game or play a words.
Not a spot on Wordfeud, but I do have a lot of iphone friends.
**sigh**
So far I have played maybe 3 games to completion and during that period experienced 8 FC's (thats just really poor coding if you ask me)
The interface is "meh" the lack of a pinch to zoom really feels awkward.
Looking beyond the poor execution, at its core it is a fun game to play with friends just could use quite a bit of improvement.
I'm on Bionix-V 1.2 and WWF looks and plays pretty badly (FC's, board looks janky zoomed out, chat's slow, some games show "their move" when it's really my move, etc). However, like beren28, I have a lot of friends who are iPhone users, so I guess I'm stuck waiting for an update.
ya opiomorph, that's exactly what i'm talking about. i switched roms too, and it still looks crappy zoomed out (compared to how it looks on an htc incredible). Mine also force closes alot.
Tried app on Stock 2.2 and it works fine (i.e. no FCs here). Any problems you're experiencing might not be the apps fault. However, I uninstalled the app because it insists on showing ads "full-screen" after every turn. Anything is better than that.
I just tried the latest Samurai kernel with Voodoo Color and I am not a fan. I know a lot of people love it but personally I don't. At first boot your phone is dim. Then you have to download an app to set the colors. I tried several people's suggestions and didn't like any of them. So there is constant fiddling to get the colors the way I would like. Plus I had to turn my display up to about 35% when normally use about 15%. That has to eat up more battery, as well as constant adjusting. Then between the kernel and Voodoo app I am down 30 MB of RAM then what I normally have. I know for gaming it is probably the shizzle but for just a phone and browsing, not needed.
I flashed back to Samurai 2.08 and phone looks great still, lower screen brightness and actually is faster. Not sure if that is the kernel or lack of voodoo color.
Just had to get that out. I am sure this will open up a pros and cons discussion of voodoo color. I guess this would be a first edition of Kenny's Blog...LOL.

I dont really care much for it either. Whenever I start up a rom with a fresh voodoo kernel, the screen is piss yellow. I have tried a few different setting suggestions, but the screen is always way too blue. My friends drewl over this super AMOLED screen without doing anything to it.... i kind of agree with them.
Meh I tried it, thought itd be sweet, but not really lol. Using chainfire is better (Nightmode). Voodoo color is fun to mess with, for a few minutes XD

I agree. Didn't see significant benefit to having it either! (On the Epic) I think it can make a huge difference on other devices though, from images I've seen. Not to knock the Voodoo team as their work is awesome.
I AM a fan of CM7's RenderFX (and widgets) that can make the screen go all green or red or low cal night mode (and more) - each with a single toggle - is pretty damn sweet!
My feeling on this is if you need a program to custom tweak the nominal display colors as if its a high end digital cinema: maybe you got the wrong phone.

I like it, it makes my blacks blacker, and my whites whiter... as for the resources it takes, that I do agree with, not that it takes a lot, but 2.0.8 was a little quicker for me. I keep my phone at about 5 - 10 percent brightness all day. I think it looks nice though, personally I feel it is better then stock. And if you are getting the yellow stuff on boot, or on dim, probably have the wrong settings.

@kennyglass123
I've been tempted to post the same thing, but I assumed I must be doing something wrong because everyone else seems to love Voodoo Color. I tried every combination of settings that have been posted (including those above), and though they may add some punchiness, the colors always seem to be very unbalanced/inaccurate (either too blue, or too yellow, or too something else I can't put my finger on). I also tried dozens of my own combinations, just can't get it set to anything that doesn't end up bugging me after a while. Oh well, I'm going to follow your lead and flash back to 2.08 for a while and see if I miss Voodoo.
I like my phone really dark, and that might not be for everyone
Some of this may be due to inevitable inconsistencies in these screens of ours from their factory days. But I find VC to be preferable even at defaults. Colors seem much truer and the nasty bluish tint over much of the screen is lessened.
I love it. Not sure what it's doing for everyone else that doesn't seem to be causing a problem here.
Here are my settings, took me a bit to get my screen to where it looks best for me:

Wow.. are you reading my mind? I flashed it and ran for a few days. Even a very non-technical co-worker saw my phone and asked if my screen was going out since the colors looked weird. She always commented on how beautiful the screen looked.
Had to crank up my screen brightness turning off auto-brightness as well which is killing my battery.
Soo..what's a stable Samurai to go to? I'm not interested in voodoo, oc/vu, just plain ole I want my daily driver to work.
2.08 is the recommended stable replacement according to Earthbound.

I wouldn't call it a problem, just like I said, not a fan. I tried several suggested settings and no matter what on some screen something always seemed off. That and having to crank the display brightness up is just not for me. I am real happy with the beauty of the stock colors. I see the potential for the voodoo color but it would take too much work and adjusting until I would be happy with it.

Did you try the other color profile?
im running Marcus's rom, which comes with sam 2.06.
I tried flashing the new sammy colonel last night, and aside from the fact that the colors looked piss yellow, it was really laggy.. to the point were i reflashed the rom to get 2.06 back.. didnt really see that coming
Also, Im not really sure what everyones talking about with the "blueish" tint of the stock colors. I held my epic up to my GFs Moto Atrix, expecting to marvel at how much better my samsung screen looked, only to find that (even on the stock, non-VC colors) it looked piss yellow compared to her moto.
So, aside from not wanting to have to eff with the color settings, the main kernal right now that has it, apparently, hates my phone anyways

Just flashed back to 2.0.8, wow everything feels so much faster... and no more tweaking colors and no more cranked up brightness... it's good to be home...
I love the voodoo color. My brother just bought an epic and as soon as he saw mine he said "wow how'd you get your screen to look that good!! The colors are amazing!!" I just said "xda"... lol

Ok , I have two epic s, one is refurbished so I'm sure it has some mileage on it.
side by side the differences are noticable. Exactly the same except voodoo has brighter, blue tinted whites... A little better darks. I will post pics today.
the voodoo epic does look pretty damn nice, but in the end, its all about personal preference.

Only on 1st boot and look. Then I saw everyone using the 2nd profile and tried all the settings I can find. There was always something off, one was too blue, one was too warm, one was too brown, and all were too dark requiring at least doubling my normal brightness setting which uses up more battery.
I would spend time tweaking my TV a little but don't want to keep doing it for the phone. It is awesome that it is better than sliced bread for a lot of users but just not for me.

Same here. I sent it back. Ordered a new one a couple of weeks later from another place, same issue.
There are many articles and threads about this problem, but unfortunately Google and ASUS seem to ignore it. And even here on xda, people get defensive about their Nexus 7 and downplays the problem, attacks DisplayMate for scientifically illustrating the problem etc.
It annoys the hell out of me because I _want_ to love the Nexus 7, I _want_ to _want_ to keep it. It has great hardware, great software and even the IPS screen is great, but unfortunately the end result is a display that is seriously miscalibrated. The simplest calibration tests of black level, shadow detail, white crush and saturation and intensity (especially of the green primary) shows the major issues. Worst, it is obvious in daily use all the time.
I probably will end up sending this second Nexus 7 back as well and buy something with a half-decent visual experience.

I already have PRISM disabled. It helps a tiny bit but does not begin to solve the problem at all. Gamma, white crush, green saturation and intensity, contrast etc. still looks like something from 5+ years ago.
And there are a billion threads about this on the internet. I wish Google would take it serious, but...

Dear all so I do a bit of reading laying on bed and lower the brightness levels to the lowest level but the nexus remains too bright. What app are you using to lower brightness further, am rooted running a stock 4.2.1rom please
Get a good reader app, like Moon Reader+.
It has a variety of night settings, like brown ink on a black background.

My wife used to complain about the brightness of my tablet while she was trying to sleep. I found a simple solution...I divorced her.
Nah, I'm kidding, we are still happily married. I use Aldiko Book Reader and set it to white text on a black background and that has pretty much resolved the issues.
Some kernels, like metallice's M-kernel and clemsyns battery saving kernel actually allow the brightness of the screen to go lower than on stock. Like, REALLY low

I think a screen filter is the way to go. This one lets you adjust rgb, just set r,g,b to their lowest and set the filter to it's highest.

On a weird note, I was seeking this app out because I saw an interesting episode of the nature of things. It's a canadian show so some might not have heard of it. This episode was called lights out, it described the health issues people have by simply being exposed to light (from electricity) that we wouldn't normally have been, because as far as man goes, electricity is a recent phenomenon. Anyway, it seems not all light is bad, for example exposure to light sources from a flame at night (as our ancestors would) does not have this ill effect. They were basically saying it's light in the blue spectrum (similar to the day sky) that affects our production of melatonin and can give rise to cancer and other ill health effects.
It's may sound silly but the episode had me thinking to lower blue light spectrum from electronics at night before going to bed.
The episodes live stream but I wanted to watch them on the subway. They are an rtsp stream for mobile. I was hoping vlc for android had the ability to record an rtsp like it's desktop counterpart but it doesn't. What's the point of vlc on android if it loses the bulk of it's features? Does anyone know a way of capturing an rtsp stream? I know of linux utilities that can but the rtsp stream address comes out fairly convoluted and I think it redirects to the actual stream behind the scenes.
They don't stream to the US, but if anyone wants to check out the episode I'm talking about it's here:
http://www.cbc.ca/natureofthings/episode/lights-out.html
And if anyone has a way of capturing these streams it would be greatly appreciated.
