Screen calibration "contrast/gamma/white-grey balance"

I am bit of a junkie when it comes to screen calibration and have spent most of my days researching about the technology on that part, so i am in the need for something to help me calibrate the screen on the sensation as there are a few things that are inaccurate which i would like to correct.
Is there any app or mod that i can do to adjust this on the sensation.... any help would be appreciated.

It's called screen adjuster in the market

Does this app run in the background to modify the screen or does it physically change it perminantly??
Still no gamma adjustment which is probably the most important feature needed.

I would really want this to.

I think it runs in the background

Yes it does run in the background but does no offer values that are required to fully calibrate the display properly, contrast and white balance values are not quite enough... Need to source a type of hack to modify values manually or mod etc etc.

I love to have this app as well because my screen shows it's over saturated. To much red

That would be great to have ability to use ICC profiles with Sensation and generate them with color calibration software and iOne.

Is there any way to change these values in the kernel directly? Using this app slows down my Gallery for example. If I switch between different images by sliding them I can clearly see a delay on the screen.

I need this app too!
Do you think with an app like de desidered one would have also better black?

Better black is a hard one to achieve as the deepness of the black is mainly down to the screen, led screens black are a lot better compared to the LCD screens in sensations. My girlfriend has a galaxy s2 and I envy the LED screen on it, the colours compared to the sensations LCD screen are amazing.

Hardware Camera Key

Folks, I've a question.
Am I the only one who misses the good old days when phones used to have proper hardware camera keys on upper right corner (in landscape) where they're supposed to be?
I've searched and searched but can't find the reason or inspiration to get rid of that. Is it just that we're going towards a fully mechanical keyless device evolution?
Not happy about that!
What do poeple think?

My sidekick 4g has one and it came out only a year or two ago.

That's an exception
Most HTCs are without it.
And my 10 posts are up. I can now post in dev threads.

Xperia S came in March and it have it.

My G2 has one and it is very useful, but just recently flashed a rom that has touch to focus and lately haven't use the hardware button that much, the one x, s, and galaxy s3 will have the option of taking pictures while shooting video so there is an excuse of not having the button

Atrix doesn't but atrix 2 does. I like camera buttons. It feels much more like a camera.

Amaze has one as well. But I'm also frustrated that they seem to be doing away with it.

My Droid had one. My current Droid x has one. My upcoming razr maxx has one.

Sorry to piss in your puddle but the Maxx doesn't have a physical camera button.

Seems kind of pointless to have a hardware camera key these days. Because of the touch screen. And also the size of my One X plays a big role in that too.

You bastard! ooh well. I thought the review I watched showed one. Thanks.

My Dell Venue too has a hardware button

If you still have buttons on your phone you can remap them to be the camera key.

Rather than having a specific camera key (after all, not everyone uses the camera) it would be more useful to have one or two wakeup keys, for which the user can target whichever apps he wants.

There are MODS for that. Example: HERE for Droid Charge.

sony xperia pro, not even a hardware camera key, also hardware keyboard. Feel's so good when you can actually USE the display, and don't have to use half of it for onscreen keyboard.

I use to like using the hardware camera button on my G2, but for some reason when I do use it the picture comes out blurry due to the force needed to depress the button. I found it much easier to use the touch screen to take the picture. But that's probably user error? I'm hopeful.....

SE Xepria X10a- Has one
Samsung Captivate (i897)- Nope
Motorola Atrix 2- Has one
HTC Vivid- Nope
But I do miss the actual hardware key, though touching the screen to focus is cool, somewhat miss that "click" feeling.....

I wouldn't mind a hardware key. It makes it a lot easier to open the camera quickly from any app which is good if you only have a few seconds to capture a shot.

imho
in my opinion when the screen gets bigger and the phone has less hardware buttons, like the new one x it is more than useful to have a f'king camera button.
thats the thing i really like on the windows phone 7 phones and missing on the android side.

Best android iPod touch alternative?

What do you think the best Android iPod touch alternative is? The device would preferably have ICS and a camera.

I would probably say Samsung Galaxy Player 5 or Samsung Galaxy Player 4 depending on which screen size your prefer they have essentially the same specs otherwise. Both have a 3.2 mp camera and while they run gingerbread you can root it and put ICS on it. Most "ipod touch" like android devices other then then the Samsung Galaxy Player series tend to unfortunately be poorly made, and laggy and buggy as hell. The Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 and 5.0 forums would probably be a good place to start.
And this guide should be a big help:

Sony Live With Walkman? 720p vid 5mpx cam 1ghz proccessor has ICS Bravia Engine..

you could just get a nexus s 4G with a bad ESN with the ICS update

Why sense 6 such a big thing?

This is a thread where you can give your opinions and experienced about sense UI
I made this thread because i m going to buy new HTC E8 because it packs very good specs in terms of hardware...
Before hearing about htc m8 i was planning for lg g2 as perfect in hardware and software with tons of feature...
So here i m not asking about gimmiky features but i m asking about WHAT THE SENSE UI is all about...
I saw many reviewa of htc one m8, htc desire 816 to understand what this UI packs in it... But i dont find many features over stock android... So wanna ask some feature sense UI have??
1. Small app (floating apps like lg skin or sony small apps)
2. Quick settings ( add or remove option fir toggles in quick settings drawer)
3. Does it allow to download more themes like sony allow to download from sony select and playstore.
4.does launcher can give scrolling effects or horizontal scrolling for apps in app drawer?
5. Does it has different lock effects like samsung and lg g2 or g3?
6. Does camera has more shooting modes or zoom to voice clarity options like lg g2?
7. What more features it provide over samsung and lg phones?
8.what that zoe mode provide other than slide show in gallery.
Here i m not criticize any OEM skin... I m just here for some queries.. Plz dont take it as personally... I did use samsung and sony phones before thats why n m asking it before buying HTC E8...

Is there a mod to boost the torch available?

Hey guys. Is there any mod available to boost the torch? Maybe from another Samsung phone? On my sony xperia z5 i could use a mod from a xperia z1. I don't know if there are working mods for the galaxy s7.
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app

I'm hoping there's some way for this to happen. I've got a root torch widget I use on a regular basis on my S4 that is blindingly bright & I'd hate to lose that. It's seriously about 3x brighter than the stock light & significantly brighter than any phone I've ever seen & brighter than most of the flashlights I own.

Search the standard "side" applications from Samsung, there is one with a torch having 3 levels and a compass...

No idea what you mean sry
