IDEA : 4x4 level and tilt meter

If anyone out there wants an app idea.
Using the g sensor on the HD2 display two views of a 4wd.
One view (Top) is a rear view showing tilt left to right.
The second (Bottom) shows a side view showing its tilt front to back.
Requirements maybe skinnable and also a reset/zero button to compensate for mounting.
Basically as your driving the images rotate to show what angle and slope you are driving on.

That would be a cool app...

Tryed a few inclinometers but it's not the same...

Been playing with this tool. Pretty close.
Only needs a graphic change and screen saver blocker. Would be cool if it could re-call a previous zeroing.

Tomas.
Is it possible to get it working in Portrait mode?

Well,actually this would be not a problem.
Development modifications are minor to make it portrait,but there is lot of work with graphics. Therefore I have to wait a long time for the graphics from my designer.
Check this out...

Hi Tomas!
Tryed your demo and it looked great! But the round meters didn't work/show...? Not available in demo or did i do something wrong?
//Johan

Hmmm,strange... I don't understand,what exactly is wrong. Can you describe it better? Maybe screenshot will be helpful. Btw,tried on many devices,without problem.

Screenshot!
It looks like this. Everything works but the two meters...

Well,it seems to have some memory problem. I see this kind of problem during development first version. The rotation pictures are stored separately in 162 position images in one bitmap. This bitmap is quiet large with dimensions 1250x2125. 125x125 pixels per one image,10x16+1x2 in matrix. 125sq is also reason,that the image is not VGA sharp. If I tried to have 250x250pix images,the bitmap was so huge,that cannot load into the memory and I had same problem. What's your free memory? Tried softreset before starting?

I also have the same issue.
No pretty Lada.

Hello.
So I have replaced resources,so this is much smaller rotation image to fit into memory.
Try this out...
Please note,actually this is not a cab,but exefile with renamed extension.

Hello,the attached file is corrupted ...

Btw,if you want to use different "cars",you can create your own and post me them. In attachment,they are some examples.

Maybe because it is an exefile,not a cab?
did you renamed the extension to exe?
Sorry for that,but I cannot upload larger exefiles,XDA server doesn't allow it.
And that's an executable for your PDA,not PC.

Ok,it's really an exe file,i convert it to a cab file .

I posted this file just for a test for those,who has problems with car displaying. Can you confirm,if this works for you(if original doesn't)?

Free one works now; this is a really awesome concept and the apps look great.
A couple of suggestions: calculator app could be a little bit bigger so its easier to press the keys on a phone screen, and maybe the recorder app can default the filename to the current date and time if no filename is typed in. Also I noticed a bug when I recorded a clip, the date was set to 1 Jan 1970.
Edit: just noticed calculator has a resize button! Ignore that suggestion.

[App][2.3+] - CameraParameters, modify camera beyond api

Greetings all, this is my first app, and first post on this forum (though I've been reading it for some time before i registered). I've written a simple camera app that lets you view and explore all the parameters for your camera. This app was meant to read, modify and display the results of various camera parameters, as returned by the flatten() method. It is not designed to enhance your images, but to let you learn more about the cameras attached to your device and their features.
All parameters that are modified are set using set(String key, String value). This seems to work even for parameters that take an int value, such as jpeg quality.
I would like some feedback, especially on the UI. The values to change are entirely text based, which takes up a fair amount of screen real estate. I'm open to suggestions or other ideas.
Notes:
Only landscape mode is supported
Pictures are saved to DCIM\Camera
Gallery is not refreshed immediately
Supported Camera parameters are dumped to a text file in DCIM\Camera when the app launches
Parameters that are named "<whatever>-values" are not added to the dropdown, as they are presumably just a list of what values are possible for a given parameter.
Hardware tested on:
Samsung Galaxy Ring
Kyocera Rise
Acer Iconia A100
Any feedback is appreciated.

Hello, @Jat82.
When I open the application the value for param stays as "none", is this normal or it should show other value?
Maybe it's a bug from my ROM/device because third camera apps doesn't show the image in screen. I don't have other device to test it, sorry.
I think the UI of your app can be upgraded, maybe you can rearrange all box and buttons to one side of screen.

It's just the default text, it should change to whatever text you enter when you tap it.

Sorry, i don't understand what you mean by "third camera apps", can you explain it a bit more? You have a third camera on your device that appears in the cameras dropdown, but doesn't display a preview?

I attached two screenshots of your app, you can see the param is always "none".
You can also see the black screen.
Yes, the preview is not displayed but I can take pictures normally.

I have an issue with this. My photos aren't saving to anywhere I can find them.My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Rush.
/storage/sdcard0/DCIM is the pathway my photos normally save to. Is there a way to fix this?

Thank you all for the feedback, I'm back from the holidays, and have resumed work on this project. There are some minor updates:
-"C!" (Capture) button removed and minor UI adjustments
-Selecting a parameter should now populate the edit text with the current value for that parameter
-Long press on the preview image to capture an image, or..
-Press the hardware camera button if your device has one*
-All images captured are now stored in <your device>/CameraParams. This folder will be created if it does not exist
-Camera parameters are dumped into the above directory, one "raw" unformatted file, and another one with human-readable formatting
*Press it rather quickly, holding the hardware camera button may launch a camera intent, where your system will load your default camera app, which makes things go ...bad.
Todo:
-Proper enumeration and selection of available camera devices
-User-definable storage paths, so you can save to phone, sd card, usb device, whatever is attached..
-Continued UI refinement
-Refresh Gallery/Media db after saving images
-??? What else is needed or wanted from a camera utility?

Hello I am a beta tester form http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927116

Many of you who have a Windows Mobile past like me, might have instantly recognized the thin colorful line(s) in the above image. And for the new Android generation, introducing Energy Bar - a pulsating Battery indicator!
Energy Bar puts a thin line on top of your Status Bar whose length corresponds to your device's current Battery level.
Got a full charge? The line will cover the whole width of your screen.
Battery depleting? So will the length of Energy Bar.
After several iterations (thank you for the feedback, early testers), the App is now feature packed:
Energy Bar can be configured from a width of 1 pixel to cover the entire status bar
Energy Bar puts almost 0% load on CPU, as it wakes up only to reflect any change in battery level
Energy Bar's origin can be configured as left/center/right
Energy Bar can hide on fullscreen content (apps, videos, images, games etc)
Energy Bar can be configured to change colors automatically depending on the live battery level
Energy Bar could have a mono color/multiple color segments/gradient
You can literally assign any color in the world for your favorite configuration
Energy Bar as a cool pulsating animation whenever a power source is plugged into your device
There is something about visual over numbers that keeps you and your device's battery level in sync with just a glance. You may find it intuitive/effective/stylish way to read the battery level, let me know what you think

Hopefully this helps. I downloaded a grey background image and viewed it in the inbuilt gallery app. There's four different photos, with the first three being the bar thickness set at 1, 7 and 15 and the finial image having it set to the status bar.
An important thing to note about t the status bar option though is the change it has when in fullscreen mode and not in landscape orientation. Whereas in portit there is no change.

Used this on my S8+ and now on my S10+
Love it but op please make slight adjustments, it is certainly thicker at the corner than along the top and doesn't quite look right but it's not far off

How did you get the bar all the way on the top, mine is always below it?

I know it's off topic, but is it possible to develop a bar around the camera cutout? To indicate battery level when screen is on and notification led when screen off.

Can you do this around the top and sides of the camera cutout?
Everyone wanted this since the s10+ leaks started to come out, it would look very elegant while serving the same use.

I would love, love, LOVE the ability to limit this to the notch only.

Use the APK in the OP.

Anyway to see this when the screen is off? That would be really helpful?

How to adjust gamma value on Android?

Looks like my question is broader than just my phone's topic. In general: I need to adjust gamma to use with low brightness/light to not burn my (maybe weak or ill?) eyes off. I have Xiaomi Redmi 9 (galahad, MTK) and I've already tried like every obvious method: google, different apps, custom ROMs, kernels, even searched kernel sources for any clue... All I have now is some info that it's kernel feature and fact that problem is, gently speaking, not popular. KCal and LiveDisplay doesn't show any controls except RGB channels, though on other phones there's typically also hue, saturation, contrast, gamma(value/intensity). I'm assuming it's Mediatek issue, also I've heard they got their own module called GAMMA (ironic), but I can't found any info about it. Therefore, hardcoding linear gamma "curve" into kernel can be enough for me, but my most referent finding "gamma_table" appears to be just some unused template? Maybe i'm digging too deep and/or making some silly omission... I want to know!
Spoiler: If you don't know why gamma is so special...
It doesn't affect pure black and white, just curve the shades between them, so it's nothing like brightness & contrast. That means you can have your preferred display luminance with any custom level of detail nicety. On Windows you can play with gamma in Control Panel (hello Win11(XP)) - Display - Calibration (on the left). On Linux (xorg) it's # xgamma -gamma 1.0.
Logically the hash of black and white pixels must be gray, but in fact with "standard" gamma it melds with 3/4-white. So the gray point is not actually gray and real gray is dimmed away lol. Some white on real gray is like a flashbang

You can say that we have logarithmic vision perception, and you'll be right, but for narrow bands, like low light, it seems to be mostly irrelevant. I looks like this: if full perception range is absolute, then small inadaptable partial ranges are almost linear. Also AFAIK 2.2 was a hardware standard for CRT displays, so it may be a bigger issue than I think: HCL design standard isn't so old, and there's imperial system still used today IYKWIM...

Lol no one here too? I've thought that MTK is just a cursed chip, but assuming zero replies on similar threads about gamma... Is that topic so hard?

Problem is solved by Screen Ballance. Set Contrast and Brightness to 100%. Strenght is the gamma settings.

It seens optimal to use it with Display Callibration fór maximum brighrness settings.
Display Calibration - Apps on Google Play
Calibrate your screen's tint and shades to get a clean , smooth display.

Use a kernel with Kcal, install smartpack kernel manager or any other kernel manager that has the option to adjust the RGB. Set the contrast and the screen value. By adjusting the screen value you are adjusting the gamma from what I've seen.
