[RESOLVED] Can the brightness go any lower?

I know this has been asked before on specific kernels and bugs of sort but I am wondering if it's possible to go any lower on the brightness that we have. I have tried all the roms for the NS4G, rooted and stock. In the dark it's still too bright. I guess there could be worse things to have happen or complain about.

Your sig shows you on cm. Did you check the cm settings*display*automatic backlight*light levels*use custom*edit other levels . You can edit all levels of the backlight.
Also if using the miui rom in settings* display* advanced. Same options at cm7.
I have my lowest level at 14

Ok that is awesome thank you. I lowered it to 5. Now is this a filter or is the light really at 5%. I bet I can save some juice as I don't used it to surf at work and I read in the dark. Thanks again and thanks button hit.
Edit: Oh man, there can be up to 3000 levels set! Holy crap. Nice

[Q] Sky cream sandwich help with Google wallet

I was going to post this in the official form after reading about 60ish pages of the thread but it wouldn't let me since i have "noob" status. I have NFC on and i left my phone on the Google wallet screen for about 10ish minutes but it just force closes.The developer said that its included http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377087&highlight=ice+cream+sandwhich
but next to it it says one day. Dose this mean it dosent work right now?

it won't work because we need some secure elements that we don't have. So no it will not work.there are more than enough thread about GWallet if you researched it you would have found your answer but no worries because you will find help on xda. just make sure to do research next time

For what it's worth, I've attempted to do research on it as well and hadn't had much luck at all.

I noticed while it's trying to initialize, tap the w in the top left corner and it opens the app.

Yes i got into app rite now. I can see payment cards. Reward cards and other stuff.

Remote control and *view* your phone camera with Android Wear

Just wrote an Android Wear app to remote control *and view* your cell phone camera live. I have a series of other hacks I plan to do in the near future but here's a start. Open source too so hope people can help contribute and make it better! Welcome feedback, pull requests, suggestions.
On the play store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dheera.wearcamera
Source on GitHub:
https://github.com/dheera/android-wearcamera
Post on my website:
http://dheera.net/projects/android-wearcamera

Now you can spy on people and take photos of them without them knowing it xD

Very cool app. Works well. Thanks for this!!

This is brilliant!!! Absolutely brilliant!!!
Well done!

Totally awesome app!

I've made a bunch of updates to Wear Camera Remote since the first release now. I've added basic support for turning the flash on/off and switching between front/rear camera. But I'm doing it differently than all those paid apps (e.g. Pixtocam) in that I want the UI to blend in well with Google's UI. Also small buttons on a smartwatch is awful to use.
More features to come in the future when I get time, stay tuned. Or if someone wants to help extend this vision, it *is* an open source GPL project.

Tried this, awesome!! thanks

Awsome app !
Can you consider for the next version to be able to disable the screen on the phone ?

It's this for nexus devices only or all phones? It doesn't seem to work on my LG G3.

Not working on my HTC One either. The only app that's given me phone->watch video is LookBehind but it cost like $2. In any event, people are blown away by this James Bond-esque feature

Can anyone help me identify this? [SOLVED: FAKE GALAXY S6]

Hi.
So i got an s6 from eBay.
It's not reacting to my touch. (it is, but with insane delay and barely!)
Couldn't figure this out.
Suddenly or occurred to me that something is fishy since home screen should not be organized like this (this is AFTER full reset!)
(why would twitter be inside a folder named Google?)
Also looks to be non-stock.
Here's a pic.
Can anyone tell me what am I dealing with here?
Does not seem to be running the usual Samsung rom.
Was this device tinkered with?
Also see video here:

Thank you!

Is it a real S6?
Theres a thread in the General section about how to try and spot a fake S6.
that article mentions the fake ones are running droid 4.x, but thats not to say they haven't mucked with the version number on it.

CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes you got a copy of the galaxy s6. thats why its running so slow.

these fakers might as well build a phone with the effort they put into these!!!! it's insanely crafted!!! if software wasn't as ****ty - might have missed it!!
(one of them is actually quite snappy)

Since you bought off eBay. Did you pay via paypal?
Just lodge a claim against them for selling a fake item.
Make sure and screenshot the ebay listing as well

Yes I will definitely file a claim. Thank you.
Everyone else - BE WARNED!!!
My advice:
Turn off phone.
Press and hold power button + volume down button.

Ask for Default Application Each Use

Is there any way whatsoever to make it ask me what default app I want to choose each time. As in, the old Just Once/Alway complete action dialog?
I've tried Complete Action Plus. Doesn't seem to have any effect.

Nope. It's lollipop forced. Maybe marshmallow it changes... Get used to it.

I'd love this too, but unfortunately I don't think there is. Sucks because I have to keep switching between Adobe and Write on PDF for my business. **** is annoying.

I just came across something last night that's a decent workaround for most things.
Better Open With (sorry, no link; new member) prompts you with it's own UI, which is still pretty intuitive. It works by having you set the default application for each intent it supports (which isn't a lot, but it's most) to itself. Then, when you open something, it will bring up it's own dialog box that's pretty similar to the old style.
It doesn't have as much customization as Complete Action Plus did, but it gets you 80% there.

I thought it was lollipop forced as well, but both my Note 4 and my Note 10.1 2014 are running 5.1.1 and give me the choice of running specific apps just once or always, could it be the Note 5?
