Enhance resolution of App icons - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys. I've recently returned to android after I got my note 3. Had iPhone before this
While I love my Note 3 I can't help but feel irritated with the quality of the app icons. They seem to be low quality in terms of resolution/quality/clarity compared to iPhone app icons which are sharp and crisp. Is there anyway to improve the quality of the app icons?
Thanks.

Post questions in q/a thread!

The only thing I could think of is rooting and changing ppi...but it's already 1080p. .not really sure but I don't think you can

Beats Audio

Hi everybody, i beg your pardon for my bad english, anyway, I had a motorola milestone 2 with megabassbests and now i installed the NexusLouderV4B1-TestBuild_2 on my nexus 4. I made a comparison and i found that the megabassbeats is 100 times better than nexus louder. Is there any way to install the mileston bests audio on my new nexus 4?

Try awesome beats. Or viper4android with beats IRS.
You will find both on xda in Android development

The Nexus 4 is a bit tricky to find that sweet spot in AMAZING sound. After hours of trial and error (No kidding), and previous knowledge of experience from other devices. I've found that for the Nexus 4 you need to flash the Nexus louder mod, and combined it with a custom kernel and use that kernel's sound settings via either trickster mod, franco kernel updater app, or faux123 kernel enhancement pro app. I'm sure there are others, but those are the main 3 I alternate in between.
I could go into specifics about my settings and my setup, but as everyone tends to say people's preference and tastes in music are all different.
I hope this helps some.
I'm using the paranoid android custom ROM Abd I do not want to change it. If that the only solution i resign myself

If you're looking to get great sound through the rear firing speaker then this phone isn't for you; viper4 android however works wonders on headphones.

No, i'm looking to get a grat sound through the headphones. I just thought that isn't strange that the mileston's beats audio works better than the N4 one

Gamma all messed up on Note 3's!?

Run display tester app and check your gamma guys. Mines 1.4 on all the colors on dynamic display setting, I changed it to professional photo and it barely made a difference

From Anandtech review :
"if you’re looking for the most sane from a color accuracy perspective it’s still Movie mode with the auto screen tone toggle unchecked"
Just run the app and check. On the s3 the gamma was perfect

LG laucher theme?

Hey all!
My android's biggest issue with looks was and probably will always be the un-unified look of the icons!
On iOS for example all icons have that unified rounded shape while icons on android are a mess!
Do you know any stock lg launcher theme that makes all icona have the same shape!? I don't care about the shape itself whether it's circular, square or anything else!
To make myself clear, it will be similar to what Goolors or DCikonz make with nova icons! It either adds shaped background or even trim edges to make all apps have same shape!
Thanks!

If you want better camera pics try xdabbebs or jishnus camera which both improve stock camera a lot

Mine is having the same issues. See my thread. I am starting to think my camera is not defective but rather the camera is garbage compared to the s4.

I tried xdabbebs when my phone was rooted and for some reason after installing that it's sent me in to boot loop lol

Wow those are really ****ty pics. My G2 takes excellent photos.
Maybe your unit is a dud or any scratches on the glass cover?
Here is a blind camera test, G2 (Uses Sony's Exmor sensor) scored better than GS4

I've emailed Lg they ask for some sample photos bet they say they look ok lol

lol... btw just out of curiosity, which camera app do you use? stock or aftermarket?
i'm asking you this because i get better images when i use either xdabbeb modded camera app (you can find it here under developer's area subforums) or DSLR Camera Pro (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.vipek.camera) which gives me even more settings to fiddle with...
you can also try some other camera apps like
Camera FV-5
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.lite
or MX camera...
Stock I don't have it uprooted fv-j5 just bought it
