Request for a picture from someone who does not have backlight bleed

Okay, I know we have lots of threads with people posting pictures of their bleed screen. I want to request one member atleast who does NOT have bleed to post a picture of his screen here. I personally am getting a second G2x and since this is like my first phone in over 5 years, I'd like to have a picture ready for comparison when I get my replacement.
You could use this as a test page.

Alternatively, telekNesis has made a wonderful app for this exact purpose. Use that.

I've attached 2 images of my screen. One from far away, and one in close up. The camera brightness gets wonky when its far away, so a closeup is most recommended, and I'd like to compare this.

I would but my phone is the only camera I have at work
can post one in a couple hours

EDIT: See new pic

Thanks for the picture. But:
1. You are not in a dark room
2. your status bar is there.
We can't do an accurate comparison like that

Thanks for the image. This looks like a very good one to compare against.

OK. sorry ... was just trying to help. Removed.

Don't want to come off as an ass, but if you think a screenshot will show any display problems you need to think a little harder.

Thanks for trying to help Maris_

I don't mind coming off as an ass...this guy can't be for real.

lol, @ screenshot, if only everything looked that black

Maris_ said:
I used SketchBook Pro and painted the screen black, set it as my wallpaper, used LauncherPro to hide the Navigation Bar, then took a screenshot in a dark room. As far as I can tell, I don't have any unusual backlight bleed. True, it isn't the deep black my Nexus One would have had, but considering this phone is backlit, I think I'm OK. (I hope this dropbox link works)

Is that at maximum brightness? Because, I find that to be absolutely fine. /jealous
My replacement is on its way and I think this is the image that I'm going to use to compare. Thanks again.

android battery bar

ok, a few years back, my windows phone had this really cool app, it was a bar across the top that was 1 or 2 pixels tall, multi colored that displayed the amount of battery left. someone told me it was in a rom, but I can't find it to save my life. maybe one of you has seen it or knows which mod, or anything about it, because I would LOVE to have that stupid little bar back.
Thanks
Pat.

It's built in to Cyanogen mod, if that's available for your particular decide. Not multi color as far as I know though.

sorry if im mistaken, i dont think this feature is on cyanogen mod. It is however on most of the 'MIUI' roms, i think it is standard on there.

Is this possible to have standalone? This would complete my device.

damn, wish it was standalone.. I'm pretty loyal to my current rom, at least until I get the new samsung infuse or whatever it's called.

+1 here, i still use LvmTopBat in my winmo, in colour and its the best. easy to read and always there.
hoping for a port

I like the tactics here

it would be worth a few dollars even as a paid app,

PyroIce Tips, Tricks, and Help Guide. -Please Post Your Own Too :D-

I've made PyroIce my new Daily, and we all know it has some bugs. So I thought I'd start a thread to help Unclutter the fourm.
Here's the first thing I've found out.
- Wi-Fi Networks that are WEP/PSK locked can be connected to without having to Manualy put the name in.

Nova Launcher is a Great ICS Replacement Launcher. It can be downloaded from the Market. Or found on XDA as a flashable Zip. That makes it a system app, and allows widgets to be accessed from the launcher.
It has homescreen effects, drawer effects. Custom Grid Sizes, and all widgets are resizeable. Its the ADW of ICS, and is better than CM9's Launcher for 4.0.1.

I want to install this on my wife's phone, but she has no appreciation for the great work being done here. I would rather not put something on her phone that is going to cause me grief.
Also, is the user interface the same?

to be honest, its a great rom. for people that know how to deal with beta roms. if your lookin for a grief free rom, id use another one. i use this but i dont mind the small issues and can deal with them. the user interface is ICS, so the same as ICS yeah? same and gingerbread.. no, lil different. more user friendly i think.

New release is wifey friendly... I think mine could handle it and she has to gripe for a couple months b4 she asks me to root her phone....

Good, the only reason I won't root my girls phone is cause I don't wanna fix it.
Does anyone know if you can unlink the notification volume and ringer volume in ICS?
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using Tapatalk

first off, i think this rom is simply great, considering that ics is on very few devices right now, and that our phone is a bit slow in general with development (nothing against all the devs on this phone, cuz what they have made are all really good)
two questions:
does anyone know why the camcorder app is limited to 720p recording? it's definitely not a big issue, but this camera is considered to be one of the best, seems like a shame to waste it.
also, any way to fix the htc dialer showing up in the call and to answer a call you have to unlock first?
how's everyone's battery life doing? mine's much better than when i had cm7 on it

I was looking at 1080p but for some strange reason libstagefright camerasource detects that 1080p is not available. Coudlnt binary hack that, and no idea why that happens.
You can use fullscreen caller id to let you receive calls without unlocking, or can use widgetlocker from market with security set off.

gotcha ill switch over to the non sense version now, thanks for the quick reply.

Posting here because I'm still a "New" user and cant post in dev form.
I'm running PyroIce Sense and I cant view any flash websites. Anyone else having this problem? I've tried re-installing Flash, Dolphin (wont work on stock browser as well), and reflashed the rom.
Any ideas?

Try opera mobile - proper flash support is one of their selling points. Unsure if it'll help, but worth a shot - mobile, not mini.

If i enter full screen browser hangs. if i zoom in, it will play, but it's very choppy with elements of my wallpaper mixed in, sometimes it's the notifications bar that draws itself into the flash. It's very odd.
thanks for the help! (loving this rom BTW)

[APP][4.0+] ICmess : Free Messaging App

Hello all, after month and month of testing, here is my messaging App : ICmess
For 4.0+
Still in Beta, the goal is to have a more "ICS" app than the Stock app.
In fact, my vision of what should be the Stock ICS messaging app, with Slide, simplicity and flow
You can :
- Answer quiclky with a popup
- Create a message with a popup
- Search for conversation
- Sending/Receiving SMS/MMS ( of course, but for the moment you can't send/receive MMS when Wifi is Active )
- Heard your conversation
- Slide to erase your texte
- Slide to come back to the conversation List
All the necessary action, and only the necessary actions. Don't want to Have an other Go SMS.
Feel free to say what you think of it.
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Since 2 days you can get it on PlayStore :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.studiopsk.icmes

Since I'm a new user ( since March 2011...never mind ), I can't post Screenshot.
But it's coming

Would love to see this
Would it be like message pro g?
Theme wise?
If so I may have a themer for sk4g use it (if it works on froyo) since the message pro g is paid an lite version dosnt include an darker theme
I will keep up with this app for now
Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda app-developers app

Used it about 5 minutes, so far I've noticed that the text you've just sent stays in the new sms page for 30-40 seconds after being sent. The UI is nice, could do with a Light theme though. Animations are excruciatingly slow, maybe cut them down to 100-150ms, however everything is very smooth.
All in all, it's looking very promising, I'll be continually online and available if you need someone to test stuff.
HTC One V, Paranoid Android.
Oh, and your Play Store link is broken.

The app as a whole looks fairly nice the only thing that really bugs me is the conversation view looks little messy if there's a way to straighten that up I think this will work great also I'm also available for testing if you need a tester

OT: Can we have the final word of this scene please ?
Looks promising !

App is Brilliant.. The UI is absolutely beautiful..
The concept of loading limited messages and pulling down to load more messages is also good..
Few suggestions..
Opening the app has to be a bit fast.. It takes hell a lot of time..
In the threaded view both incoming and outgoing can be white text or atleast have the option to choose according to the need of the user..
But overall.. Great app in such a small size.. Brilliant Dev..

just stepping here, as many said that it is laggy (also i dont have a balance on my phone currently) i just send a thanks and 5 star to motivate the devs..

[Q] HTC Dotview hacking ??

So I'm seeing all these images pop up with games and even other apps running on the dot view case but nothing always hit a road block
Anyone know if the developer ever released the apk or what happend like can it still be done ??
( Sorry if this isn't were it belongs its an honest question so I would think Q & A was fitting)

Nobody??

Not that I know of. There's always the chance these are just static images with the dot view app disabled

I've been using the app since he released. Keep in mind that the google play link that was posted was only the key for the app for some added features. As for the notifications, he just had the icon for the app pop up on the screen. If that makes any sense. The dot view case itself with those dots on it makes it look okay, but no work was done for the notifications themselves; the apps icon just displays on screen. I have no way of taking a photo or else i would to show what I mean.
