i was changing temperature and sharpness but got force close and cant remmember what exactly was changed :/ here link of my video, sorry for crap quality, was taking video with nokia 6720, maybe it doesnt show clearly but no more banding for me http://www.mediafire.com/?ijksasdo9i6ba0c

Im also getting the force close LOL but my colors are not screwed up but no difference now between standard and dynamic, looks like its stuck to dynamic ~_~

Doesn't look much different to Screen adjuster.
There doesn't appear to be a gamma curve calibration which is what is really needed.

so any suggestion to reset settings? now im getting only force closes :/

I Can't even try.
When I click the "download" link I end-up with this

i think this program can be very usefull fpr galaxy note. I made some settings within color banding became not so big. Please test my solution and say is it better a bit. Firstly go to settings-display-screen mode and choose dynamic.Download attached zip file,extract and then overwrite files to system/etc. Go to settings again and choose standart and then reboot your phone. Please test this and leave feedback.

crashes when I try to launch it on my Galaxy Note (GT-N7000) (Android 2.3.6)

Tried the APP and no FC.
I can adjust color temp. Playing with other settings does nothing on my phone.
the IM2 movie plays pretty nicely on my note color banding wise. I only have some black clipping in some of the deepest dark areas at the end of the sequence.

Cannot test it
somehow not compatible with Speedmod kernel ...force closes....

Any good values to try? I know it is subjective but would be nice to know.
I think that voodoo screen tuning app doesnt work anymore after installing this app. can anyone confirm?

I went with values halfway between Standard and Dynamic. So only upped sharpness and saturation. Dynamic is just too much but this is a happy medium. My settings don't address black banding. Go with Movie mode settings for that remedy. But even then this app does not adjust gamma so it will only go so far

Marshmallow 6.0 is out for Nexus Player (Fugu)

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en
Right under Fugu you can find the download for 6.0 Instructions for flashing are right at the top of the page.

Hopefully app developers will not take long to update their apps to support 6.0

I haven't as of yet but will later tonight. Going by the last preview most of the stuff I use such as Netflix worked fine on it so it should be no big difference. I'll let others chime in on their experience.

Just installed. Netflix works with the exception of bluetooth audio. I either have titles stop at 25% or 99% buffering. On 99% I usually can hear the audio but it never shows video.

Anyone figured out and tried root?

HI
Can anyone help me to root and install the elementalx and root because my power botton is not ok and i need shutdown and on the Nexus only touch for this i use Kernel Auditor.
Can you help me.
Thanks

Casting is still a mess on the Player. Motion smoothing while casting via BubbleUPnP or LocalCast. Chucking and stuttering while casting UFC etc.
Refresh rate switching is great with Kodi though. But I still hate the limited RGB range the Player outputs.

Everything so far seems to be working as far as apps and such

How's the BT A2DP in here guys?

Hopefully someone figures out how to root this thing.

You can root it by flashing another Kernel. I did it. It worked okay but I ended up flashing 6.0 again and not rooting this time as it runs a bit better. You also lose the voice feature with it rooted. Here is a link to the directions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62412232&postcount=3

Do you know if 23.976 Hz refresh rate is now supported? Only 24 Hz was supported before.

It doesn't seem to be possible to change the default launcher anymore?
In DP3 I used target home launcher to use Kodi as my launcher, but in this final version it doesn't seem to work. Anyone found a way?
I tried to clear the defaults in the app settings for Leanback Launcher, but it says "no defaults set".
Too bad if they choosed to remove that option.

if they did remove the option to change your launcher, back to 5.1.1 i go. so far marshmallow has been giving me nothing but issues. i only had my nexus player for a few days, but i was just getting everything perfect.
thats what i get for trying to stay on the bleeding edge of updates. :/

I can't really see a reason why they would remove it though. There must be a way to get it to work.

[Personal Review] Galaxy S7 edge Nougat beta firmware

Hi guys here you have a proper review of the Nougat firmware for the S7 edge based on my personal experiences.
So I installed it yesterday night via odin thx to @laimonas777.
With my own experiences I can say it is not as nice as I had thought.. It's hard to use, it's full with small bugs and delays and sometimes it can even freeze up to 30 seconds (My experiences).
Every app has got the new GraceUI of the Galaxy Note 7 including the settings app.
One of the best Nougat features, the display scaling option has got "only" 2 different options which do not differ that much from the standard option.
Let's talk about the Notification panel. You now have 6 toggles visible at the top but you cant swipe anymore. When you pull the statusbar twice you will see 9 toggles per page. Its much harder to find one toggle you are searching for because of the 3 toggle pages. On Marshmallow all toggles were visible in one "page".
Also the colors could have been better but I think everyone has its own opinion there.
Something which is also weird is that you have a search bar on the notification panel but actually you cant type anything in there. Instead, this textfield will just open the finder app.
The camera has got newer options and a totally different but perfect UI which I really like. But the new color modes are actually not that important features and were also aviable partially in 6.0.
Lets move on to the recent apps panel, which is a big pain.. The recent items got taller just like in stock nougat but the scrolling is a very big pain. Its just as the android nougat developer preview 1 for nexus devices also there are some minor graphical glitches which I have shown in the video.
Another thing I want to mention are the notifications. And yes, they are ugly but i am sure samsung will fix that. On every notification where you can tap for an action (example whatsapp, to reply) is a grey bar, which looks horrible. You can see it in the attached ss
Performancewise it hasnt got big changes but dont forget the delays when opening some specific apps etc. The battery consumption is also a bit higher but all these will get fixed with the final build (hopefully).
But now lets talk about the positive things :silly:. The Multiwindow option has got much better than it was on all other touchwiz versions, in short, its almost the same as in stock android nougat. Another thing which is perfect is the Window apps mode where you can open apps in window mode. We all know how bad this option was in Touchwiz, maybe no one of you ever have used it but now the window mode is very good and snappy. The negative thing there is that you cant deactivate these both modes anymore. So always when you try to pull down the notification panel from the right or left top corner, it will just open the current app always in window mode which is quite annoying.
And something which is annoying like hell is that if you play a game like doodle jump where you dont need to touch the screen the screen always turns off after a while. So the auto screenoff option doesnt get disabled while playing games or (maybe) even while watching a movie.
Galaxy Labs is now removed, so now you cant get all apps on your homescreen and you cant hide the appdrawer.
Remember that this is a very early beta build, and all of these bugs are normal and wont be there in the finale build.
Here is a quick video about the update to see how it looks

What about a dark theme...it was rumoured that Android N will have a dark theme not only that light one. Also the existing themes in store (for Samsung) work properly on N or not?

Keep in mind this is the frist beta released from samsung, so some things might hopefully change by the release of the final firmware. Also, you do have scaling other than going through the developer options. Go to Display -> Font and you will get to cgoose both the Screen zoom (which is set to almost huge idk why) and of course the font size. This comes to be as tha Normal and Condensed options back from marshmallow.

Hey glad to help. nice rview my friend. . :good:
P.S What happened to the hand?

I'm using the ota build and its running lovely to be fair
Touchwiz is rubbish anyways and just install nova which makes Icons smaller

Hello, thank you for great review. Could you confirm one exciting feature of android 7 (atleast for me) that it works on this phone beta software.
As of Android 7.0 phone can read 2G/3G/LTE frequency without ROOT. Easiest way is to install app Cellmapper(mapping cell towers to map) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cellmapper.net.cellmapper&hl=en
Could you run this app and post screenshot while connected to LTE only(no wifi)? Also, maybe send debug report from settings menu to developer with screenshot.
Thank you

Strange review .... I have been using it also since yesterday, and it is faster and smoother then my MM stock ...
Agreed there is some laggs when double tapping the multi tasking bouton, but overall its snapier and more responsive.
Also I have not noticed any freeze. I find this beta very polished to be honest.
Have you done a full wipe before installing ? or OTA ?

Thank you. Does not seem to report more info than in android 6.0.1. If you see LTE band reported on Cellmapper screen you can make another screenshot, but it seems that this functionality might not be there.

It's not a review, it's a rant. I literally have no issues with it, no freezes what so ever, it's actually snappier than MM.

I think the 'review' tag should be removed from this thread or it should be locked, as it is full of false information and the corrections to that false information have been given, but the 'review' hasn't been updated. If people read this thread thinking it is accurate, they will get false information.
The comment about display options, for instance, is just the OP not knowing what to do. It's not something wrong or an option that has been removed, it's just a lack of knowledge.

Yeah, I don't get that with any app. The only thing a bit laggy is the "new window" tab animation in the browser and the notification bar. Apart from those two things, it is fine.

That's the one I played with the most when I got my S8+ and it didn't work well; crashed on me pretty often and wouldn't take the odd S8+ resolution. That was over a week ago but it seems there was an update since. I guess they fixed it for the S8+. It very works well now and quality is great. I paid for it, I'm glad they fixed whatever there was to fix :good:
Edit: I don't know how you managed to upload it in HD, @Bautinho88, but I've tried with 6 videos on both my phone (Resolution: WQHD+ / YouTube app) and my computer and the best quality I get is 480p60.

Weird that only happens when facebook is a desktop icon. It doesnt do it from the app drawer

On my video only 360p maximum.

Yep the icon being on the home page is the cause - WHY, I don't understand.. it's like the FB icon has some sort of weird properties that a regular icon doesn't have.. kind of creepy tbh.
I've been considering deleting FB for awhile.. may just finally be time.

Oops my bad, EDIT:
Facebook updated their app and fixed it, it's not doing it anymore. it's still not fixed.

Updated to android P

Hi all.
Today I received the new android p update. But unfortunately differences are little to none.
Have you received the update yet?
Whats your experience with android p on lg g7?
Have you noticed much improvements?

I noticed notifications are little bit different, you have option to minimize those permanent notifications without being able to see them in notification bar. And you get options for fast reply messages form viber... probably some other apps. But it wasn't there before. And Gestures are here. I still use app called Gesture control for this coz I like it more like that. And ofc there is different recent apps look. Looks better. Other than that, everything is same.

I use google sms app and have had the notification and fast reply already.
Unfortunately I am disappointed that lg did not put any time to improve the ui.
What about camera? I do not see any improvements.

I noticed also magnified view when I try to select some text. And in camera there is now cine shot which lets you make some photos with some part moving like animation.
There is probably more of changes that I dont notice. I use nova luncher with custom themes so I knot nothing about UI how it looks like now and can't remember how it looked before.
