Light years. No custom kernels without the bootloader being unlokced. Chances of that happening are somewhere between extremely slim and none.

Someone is apparently very close to unlocking the bootloader now.

Just because others haven't been successful doesn't mean this person won't get it done.

I seriously find it pretty retarded that we need an unlocked bootloader and then have to install a custom kernel JUST to change the damn gamma. wtf? Gamma setting should be standard on ALL devices.
I would go absolutely crazy if I couldn't control gamma on my desktop monitor... I've been doing that for years and years, I just can't understand why it's not a stock option on mobile devices. ???

Because 95% of mobile users have no idea of what gamma is.

Froyo to support animated gif

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3422#c151
See comment 151. I wonder why you need a lot of RAM for that. So I guess only the Nexus One and the Milestone and the future high end Android phones will be able to display animated gif.

The changelog for Cyanogen rom is here: http://github.com/cyanogen/android_vendor_cyanogen/blob/eclair/CHANGELOG
Looks like he took Google's source and added it to the browser, but it doesn't say anything about animated .gifs in mms's

Oh well i just remember I came from Cricket and a samsung messenger (I didn't need a smartphone back then) and it always looped the gif, and played it in the gallery. I kind of miss that lol.
They work perfectly in the browser. Don't know about just normal gallery..

I know, but there is really no negative effect other than voiding your warranty. Well, at least in my eyes. Cyanogen is a very trustworthy ROM distributor..

Amen. I rooted my g1 but I just don't want to anymore. Plus I feel like I shouldn't have to. Google should take care of us, and I'm sure they will I just wish they'd throw us a bone
cyanogen has added this function from google's code drop to 5.0.6.

I rooted day one.
I will likely never run another rom other then the one from Google.
I played the whole rom game on Windows Mobile and it never made me happy.
I'm not doing it with my beautiful Nexus One

Then you shouldn't expect the updates at the same rate rooted owners get them, you get major updates fast compared to the likes of iPhone OS and Web OSs

Same here. I'm rooted but stock as well... custom roms just aren't for me...

Just installed GingerBlur, some questions..

What are the benefits over the stock OS? I don't see anything new, and switching in between home screens is glitchier. I am running 1.8.3. Also wondering where the webtop option is? It's not coming up when I plug it in, nor am I finding it in the app drawer.
Well.... i don't believe GingerBlur is a different OS. As far as i'm aware, because of the locked bootloader, that's kind of impossible at this point. I believe GingerBlur is basically just an extremely modified version of the stock OS to make it look as much like Gingerbread as it can.

Well I completely understand that, but what is the rave about? My friend told em to keep getting it, and people seem to love it on here, so I figured why not? However I am not seeing anything different, just a glitchy ass homescreen, my webtop mod isn't working, and my contact pictures aren't in my text messages LOL.

First of all, please don't shove words in my mouth. I am thankful for GingerBlur, and whoever is making it is doing a really great job, I am just wondering why my home screens are really running like crap. There is nothing wrong with it. I understand it's still in beta, I am just wondering if it's my phone doing it, that's why I posted here in the first place and wondering if it's normal.

I haven't had these issues. Are you running the webtop hack? What do you meaning the home screens are 'running like crap'. We need more information.

It's a bit glitchier than normal. Like they aren't as "smooth" as they are on stock when flicking left and right to switch between the home screens. Also the webtop hack was installed before installing gingerblur, and it said it was included in the 3.1 update. I just don't see that option when connecting HDMI.

I don't recall exactly, but I think the animations may be set to none. Checkout Settings>Display>Screen Animation and see what it's set to.

Yeah they are set to all animations. It's not that big of a deal, just was wondering if anyone else is experiencing that. I'm just bickering I suppose.

Personally speaking, I don't really care for the fancy animations. I more like my raw power and conserving battery life.

nvm reinstalled the webtop hack, working great however the homescreen shouldn't be lagging the way it is. I am uploading a video, it's not showing how slow it is though through the video. maybe I flashed something wrong in my phone.. i just rooted from stock without wiping anything, and updated to gingerblur. i keep seeing steps to flashing to gingerblur and reflashing the sfb first.. , but i didnt do that, maybe thats the cause of my "laggyness"?
UPDATE (Video with lag, it really looks smooth in this video for some reason, it's really only half that)

Is there a way to tweak contrast on the N4 without paying?

Are there any free methods to do so? Tweak the colors and contrast

The `paying for an app`you refer to is a gratification and recognition to a dev who builds, develops and maintains that app for free for as long as you use it bro and that for a small price.

Cannot turn on Samsung Reactivation Lock

Just flashed a custom kernel and now I can't turn on the Samsung Reactivation lock.. Does it only work for official Unrooted Stock rom? Currently using NF4.
I've also got issues with some games like Dark Avenger... Thanks for the help in advance..

You're not meant to activate Reactivation Lock once you modify your device, it is very dangerous and may cause an endless brick.

Do you have any developer options enabled by any chance?
Also since you run a custom kernel, you can control how fast the GPU runs, make it at 450.

You can now automate your phone's setting using the 'Rules' feature on your Pixel https://www.androidcentral.com/you-...phones-setting-using-rules-feature-your-pixel
Had this for a few days. I have a few rules set up, but I hope Google expands on the capabilities.
