How can I get screen render effects

Is it possible to get render effects like on cm7 on rooted, unlocked bootloader stock to, I also have cwm.
It will be cool to use night mode, it actually save battery on oled they said.

This is not true, you CAN get screen rendering just like night mode (like single colour only) by installing an application called Chainfire 3D. It's useful if you're at the movies or don't want to light up the whole room with the bright XP screen

You are my hero, I am going to download it now, thanks for the tip, this could be useful, I though that it only modify the 3D thing not the whole render of the phone.
actually, this is gonna help

Can you change the Contrast & Brightness in Video Recording?

Hi guys,
I was recently making a video using the Xperia Play Camera & indoor it was lacking contrast & was a challenge to see what was going on as it was too dark
So like i said, can someone mod the stock camera app to have the options to change brightness, contrast & all these other standard effects?
Thanks in advance

Yup I want to know too

When taking pictures you can change the contrast, why not video though

[App][Share] Gl tools. Increase Gaming performance

Hello everyone
I found this app named GLtools it can increase gaming perfomance by decreasing quality I play gta 3 on.my xperia tipo lag is almost nill by using 0.5x resolution
It works same as chain fire 3d
Its an awesome app everyone should try it
I tried on xperia tipo on cm10
Heres the playstore link
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ce=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_term=gltools
Feature list
- Change resolution and rendering bitness in any app, even if it doesn't support that by default.
- Change GPU name and enjoy enhanced graphics even on a noname low-end GPU.
- Take full control over textures: now you can decompress/recompress them (even if your GPU doesn't support that
texture format) and resize. Note that decompression feature is available only if you'll install a plugin (internet is
required to do that)
- Optimize shaders on-the-fly for optimal performance (the same optimizer is used in Unity3D engine by default)
- Enable MSAA or CSAA in any app to improve graphics quality (make sure that your GPU supports that)
- Measure gained performance with a nice onscreen FPS counter (or you can output FPS information to Logcat if you
are a pro)
Also attached my benchmark on xperia tipo

This thing is seriously effective; with this and Seeder, you won't see any lag while gaming!
The settings I use: AA is 4x non-Tegra (yes, I know AA makes it slower), textures downscaled to 0.5x, full resolution, fake GPU info of Adreno 320, no decompression or recompression of textures (I don't know how it affects performance).

Asphalt 8 still lags, but otherwise for almost every game the lag's gone! Most Wanted works, Sonic and SEGA All Stars Racing works, GTA: VC works (now at max settings). Just no Airborne.

Nope, not for me. Expanding RAM will decrease the life of your SD card. I paid 20 Euros for my Class 10 16 GB card, and I'm not in the mood to buy a new one soon... I am using swap in the system and cache partition, but that's because those aren't completely full and swapping won't have a negative effect(thanks to @[email protected] for the explanation)
Will try GLTools in the afternoon, looking forward to it.

Well, you can flash it. It won't brick your device. But it's a different phone with different spaces in the partitions. I'm not sure if you will benefit from it.
Just make a back-up and flash it. See if you gain performance or if it doesn't make a difference.
For me, it does.

Cause it tries to fill your phone's screen, even though you have set it to 0.25 times the resolution, so it just tiles itself?
Lowering resolution is the most effective framerate-wise, but the viewing experience is crap.

(MOD) Activate Bass on Loud speaker

Hey guys I just wanted to share I played around with the files and it was so hard to figure out how to get bass on this phone
I could enable temporary the bass with also mixer now I could enable permanently.
U will set the SAMPLERATE of the phone to
Frequencies:
KHZ_192
KHZ_96
KHZ_48
And set FORMAT to
Bit Depth:
S16_LE
S24_LE
Navigate to system/etc/mixerpath.xml
Open and
Scroll down to speaker settings in like in Screenshot
And put these lines
<ctl name="SLIM_0_RX SampleRate" value="KHZ_192" />
<ctl name="SLIM_0_RX Format" value="S24_LE" />
Just add and configure with viper4android
Because the Sony Walkman equalizer don't work after this.
U will hear the bass greatly
Enjoy
PS: it will work on all Kk devices based on Sony firmware
Included
Sony Xperia Z1 Compact
Sony Xperia Z Ultra
Etc
Not sure if it work with cyanogenmod roms just test
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

It actually works, thanks a lot! But now I can't actually adjust the volume, which is a major problem. Have you got any ideas? ?
Edit; Actually , if you turn off clear audio it works again. , also do you think it might work if we add those bits to the headphone section? With a few adjustments.
And you have to adjust The speaker with viper if you have it Volume boosted by the way.

Nope
Only these
KHZ_48
KHZ_96
KHZ_192
And for Format only (this will activate Bass)
S16LE = low bass (nearly no bass)
S24LE = high bass (great bass but with distortion)

Thanks that's cool I will try these values and see if it will change I will update thread with more information for more clarification and I will upload my own modded mixerpath.xml cuz I put everything to limit but without distortion and sound good without quality lose again thanks
EDIT; it don't work I tried so only the bit depth I post and frequency are valid I don't know how to add more values I think it's in kernel? Or I don't know but still main thing we reached to get more bass on loudspeaker and only problem is to reduce the noise and bass strength, just lower volume is not possible cuz u will be not able to hear anything so I hope good devs can do something with these to get clear bass and clear voice playback on this speakers like the g2 or note 3

Yes but it's another section
Go to all mic section
Speaker-mic section
Stereo-mic etc
Everything related to it and change the
ADC Volume .. It have different names
ADC1
ADC2
ADC3
ADC4
ADC5
So most probably it's always at 12 just trigger it to 19
Same for camcorder-mic
You will have better sound record push it to 19 and the DEC3 Volume to 89 normally it's 83 or 82

Video's, and like i said, a little lower (20-30% maybe?, so if there's alot of bass around, the mic doesn't distort all the way around. I'm also not very good at editing stuff like this, so thanks if you can help with this! I bet there's more people who love a mod like this, since i heard some people talking about distorted sound with vids.

I edit the OP just check I tried all other settings like in the picture but I don't work only the listed one, look
16 bit depth it's to less and
24 bit depth it's to high
So 20 bit would be normal bass and acceptable so maybe one of our developers with more knowledge know how to add more bit depth and frequency? I don't know

Got some touch problems. Also can't change the resolution.

Seems to be working quite well for me.
For the touch problems, it looks like the buttons are out of "alignment", if I can call it that. I have to tap just to the right of the button. For example, to change the photo type, tap on the right edge of the camera icon in the top right corner.
Swipe right to get to the resolution settings.
Only thing that doesn't seem to work is the Exposure setting. But that's OK, since I know next to nothing about photography. Auto mode all the way for me. Wish it had HDR setting, to turn it on/off.

The two options in the DPI slider in Android N settings resulted in being unable to accurately use the interface, manually setting DPI to 424 works though. I guess it doesn't support scaling
