[REQ] Flashable restore of pre-2.3.3 colors - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, so i had issues with colors after installing BFS Matr1x, which got me looking into the whole 2.3.3 color deal. people say its more vibrant, and since i dont recall having any sort of issue with the colors but actually loving them back in 2.3.3, i was wondering if someone would be able to make a flashable zip that works with any rom and kernel and fixes the colors to make them pre 2.3.3? i saw a thread about matr1x kernels with pre 2.3.3, problem is that one isnt updated + its a whole kernel. i wanna be able to fix the colors on whatever kernel i happen to be using, rather than wait for someone to fix the colors of each update or each kernel seperately...in my mind it seems like it would be an easy development, but im no dev, so what do u guys think?
Hope someone can help me out!
Thanks
~ Ramy

Good idea. Like in an app or something?

Like a flashaable zip like we had with tethering fix and such apps work too tho, of we can achieve same quality

The colors are modified at the source level. Wont happen. Matr1x pre 2.3.3 was updated

Snandal is a really nice guy and if you ask him nicely he just might build your favorite kernel with pre 2.3.3 colors given the kernel source is available and accessible

[Q] How to install Cyanogenmod7 on inspire 4g

sorry if there is an exact thread just like this, imagine there is but i wasnt able to find it. i just got my inspire today im familiar with android phones but i know the phone just came out so im wondering if someone can walk me through this, from what i understand ill need to root, flash the cyanogen7 rom then flash a kernel that will allow me to have sound. i was wondering which kernel i would need and what is the easiest root method currently available. thanks for the help guys!!
edit: there is no modified version of this with a different kernel that will allow us to flash the inspire kernel and make sound work??

There is not a CM7 for the Inspire yet. I can't wait until there is tho, I'm not a fan of Sense... but making due for right now.

i thought you could install any desire hd rom, there is a cyanogen7 rom for the hd right here. and just flash a kernel over it to get the audio working. or am i wrong?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=917271
cyanogenmod has its own kernel that's made specifically for AOSP. A normal sense kernel will definitely not work for it. It is cool though, I flashed it for a few minutes and it's wayyyy quick with the 1.51ghz kernel they have on there, too bad we don't have source to get sound yet
Yeah just played around with it. Superfast. Love all the gingerbread stuff too. Tried fladhing those kernels the phone wont boot
bump, i see people posting modified versions of cm7 for dhd do they have different kernels that would allow the sound to work on our inspires?

[ROM] 2011-08-04 - ROOTED "Official Update" - x99_GB_Sense_Stock_Rooted_2.76.651.4/5

[ROM] 2011-08-04 - ROOTED "Official Update" - x99_GB_Sense_Stock_Rooted_2.76.651.4/5
This is *completely* based on NFX's release of 2.72.651.2
- modded kernel ramdisk for root
I flashed this ROM with *nothing* else loaded on my phone, and it booted up and is running just fine so far.
My usual routine:
- format system
- wipe data / factory reset
- install ROM
If you flash this over another ROM without wiping, you may encounter errors.
Examples:
- Opening the settings in the messaging app = force close. Fix this by wiping the data for the messaging app.
- Wallpaper picker not showing previews.

is this the one with the newest update? 2.76.651.4?
Yeah, I named it wrong... one second.
FIXED. lol ... that's what I get for rushing.

No custom kernel yet... at least not until HTC releases source code.
For this, I had to modify a file within the kernel so that we can have root.
Good stuff, I will try this out tonight? Is it basically the OTA with root?
sense 2.1?
In the leaked version it had sense 2.1? Is it the same for this version or does it only have 1.0
Does this kernel have bfs in it?

[Source] G2x \ LG P999 2.3.3 OTA Source Code [8.16.11]

We have all been waiting very patiently, but we finally have it, AHEAD of schedule. The source code for the LG 2.3.3 OTA update is now available. You can either download it straight from LG's open source site or via the mirror I created. Enjoy!
LG's Open Source Site: Link
Download Link
Let the custom kernels\builds begin........May the source be with you!
Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but does this source have any value to the 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 roms? For the longest time I was using X boarders OTA Tweak, but recently switched to EB 1.08 (2.3.5) and love it .
Will this code bring the 2.3.3 roms to a whole new level where I might want to go back. Will this allow Whitehawkx and Doniqcc to fix a few of there issues in theit 2.3.3 roms?
Just wondering what this means? Maybe it just means an OC / UV Kernel which would be great too, especially if Faux can get voodoo working on 2.3.3.

That'd be nice, but most likely not. They aren't waiting for the kernel source for a2dp on .3.4 and .3.5, they're waiting on the source code from nvidia. As nice as it'd be, I wouldn't hold my breath on that one.
Still, this is very good news either way.
I do agree that it is good news. I was really just curious.

EvilD sold his G2x and is no longer developing for this device. Sorry for the bad news. Luckily, WhiteHawkx and Roman from EDT are awesome devs are work on the G2x. You may juts need to remind Roman to give us G2x users some love, especially now that we have code to play with

Probably not, this will just hel for custom kernels for 2.3.3. Our issue with 2.3.4 adn 2.3.5 has to do with missing source\technical specs from Nvidia, which we may never get. Its not that AOSP (2.3.4, 2.3.5, Cm7) isnt compatible for the G2x, it just doesnt have the necessary drivers and such. The talented CM7 team (mainly CM-Arcee) has done a fantastic job of writing drivers for battery and other functions from scratch, because this source is made for the LG build which is NOT AOSP, despite looking like it. Hope that clears up the source issue and eliminates the "will this fix X,Y, or Z in 2.3.5, CM7, etc"....probably not.
As lge had released source code for 2.3.3 , will this help to solve rooting issue with 2.3.3 ota / lg update utility.??

Notification shade

Is there a way to get the power controls added to the notification shade if using the stock GB OTA? I've looked and can't seem to find an App or mod specifically for that.
I've found threads about changing the colors and mostly it's people modding the pngs for it via the system?.apk file but I'm not sure how one would add tat, or if we could, say, take the system.apk from a rom that has it already such as Weapon g2x and just drop that on a Stock rooted OTA?
Any idea's or methods I'm just not aware of?
there's an app called "StatusBar+" in the market that has the ability to add power control widget buttons or w/e in the notification bar on non rooted phones....if thats what you're meaning?
StatusBar+ isn't working for the G2X... Any other ideas??

if that app doesnt work, then the only other way is flashing a custom rom! I think u should just root the phone if u havent already, its nearly impossible to brick the thing unless ur completely unfamiliar with it, but even then, its damn hard! There's a ton of awesome roms with the notification widgets
Yeah my phone is rooted. I'm currently using EB 2.3.3 1.07 which I believe is one of the most stable roms... I just wish there was a way to add that feature (power control bar to the notification bar) to this rom without having to flash a different rom or theme...

Could I just take the Systemui.apk file from one of the Weapon2.5 themes and replace my current Systemui.apk file?
I'm thinking it won't work because I'm on EB 2.3.3 1.07, there may be some other files missing from this rom that I might need??
you won't know until you try.

EB already has that....settings --> Cyanogenmod settings -->Interface --> Notification Power Widget
from my themeing experience of weapon and vibrant roms I think its a combination of frameres and systemui. I could be wrong but if it was me id ask a dev who has it in their ROM already it could greatly ease the method to achieve the desired effect.

Well I will take your advice... I see you are the maker of the Precision theme for Weapons... It looks pretty sweet..
Will you be making this theme for Eagle Blood 2.3.3 (v1.07+)? Or better yet does this theme work with EB already?
FYI... It was your theme that I was going to try and use the systemui.apk file...
I have no idea if it will work on eb or not. Im currently working on a few things, but might be able to port it soon.

I believe he's talking about EaglesBlood 2.3.3, not 2.3.5.
The notification power widgets on gingerbread roms are in the SystemUI.apk. The problem is, unless you are really snuggly with linux, java, and the sdk, your chances of coding your own are weak.
However, if you have a rom available to you from the same android and phone versions, you have a good shot at getting it to work, as with weapons systemui on eb 2.3.3.

I know it is pretty hard to write apps but it seems some things should just be a given considering, Like why no app for this or even a built in option at this point? Oh Well, I'll figure something out for sure.. anyone wanna send me the systemui.apk from Weapon so I don't have to reinstall it again?

Why Bother
Why bother with this total fail of an upgrade when there are so many better custom ROM's to choose from right here on xda?
I'm on Infused v2.2.3 and really like it but considering making the move to ZEUS soon.
I just can't see any reason to make a giant leap backward with the AT&T GB upgrade. It's just too little too late. YMMV though.
Maybe Samsung decided to use Zeus?
(Actually the GB release is running really well for myself. I haven't even rebooted yet since install last week.)

Yeah who likes a 100% working phone anyway, right?
meh.
now I know why there are no sources yet. and yeah the update is important if not just for sorcery code. never mind Samsung and att having respect for the customers....
think of how much better the roms can be if we don't have to mix libs from different leaks to fix video recording or playback and workarounds for the sdcard and wifi. and if they actually have HDMI. then we could swap kernels around without considering switching vold.fstab. yeah I hope the update is fixed soon so the code can be released finally.
someone is gonna have to get the update files and decrypt them to get a stock kernel though. (to extract initramfs and the root process will require a kernel to revert to until custom kernels are made.)
If you consider hdmi 100 percent, then I guess im running a 99 percent working rom......yea.....im good with that

hey I'm using Zeus myself. but I use the kl2 kernel on it and it would be nice if you didn't need to change vold.fstab back to stock to do so. I just want source code for new kenrels that could be maintained as all the old kernels were developed by people who are no longer here.

well I ran it with infuseion a few days, but I get the themes, the rom is deodexed, and when ever I deodex something it seems to run weird either slow or choppy. Zeus doesn't. I dunno what dman uses to deodex but it works better than what I have used.
