Ah... interesting. I've been needing something like this as well. I've just been using this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pt.bbarao.nightmode I know that if you have Cyanogenmod, there's an option in the Render FX (I don't know what it is exactly) that lets you change the color of the screen to stuff like that in the Lux application. Neat and very useful stuff. In the meantime, I just wear Gunnar Optiks.

Yeah personally I don't like any of those crazy color tinted settings. I just use screen filter to make it darker than minimum because my gs3 screen is still way too bright at minimum when I'm using it in bed at night Also it saves battery on AMOLED screens.

Manky posted:Not to beat a dead horse, but one of the things I like about Brightness Manager - even though I'm running CM9 - is that it's really easy to set up. Tap on the notification icon, set the screen brightness to where you want it in your current environment, and it remembers both that setting and pretty quickly learns to extrapolate and set a perfect curve. This app sounds intriguing. However, I'd like to know if running this will cause any system changes that could impact my ability to install OTAs in the future. Running rooted stock Jelly Bean, and I don't want to have to reflash stock images before getting the next OTA.

I'm doing a clean wipe/reinstall. Is there a good mirror of the ICS G-apps (April 29) anywhere? Goo.im is down, and from searching Twitter it appears to have been that way for a good while.

Maybe one of the two at the bottom here? http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/ These links are used as mirrors on the CM wiki so the source should be reliable, but I can't guarantee which file you actually want since the wiki page doesn't have anything from the date you mention.

There's an option in the app to unpatch your device, so I would imagine that as long as you remembered to do that there should be no chance of trouble. That said, I have no personal experience to back that up, so your caution is well-warranted.

I'm looking to sell my Samsung galaxy S. It's runnin ICS (Dark Knight 4.0.4). What is the best and easiest way to erase data on the phone? Do I need to restore to an original rom? Or can I keep the current custom rom and erase all data? I know there's a Factory data reset in settings but I'm not sure what that does to a custom rom.

If you're concerned about trace personal data that might be left on the device, I'd also wipe/format the internal SD card, then write a huge-rear end file to it to zero out all the data blocks, then delete the file. In adb that would be: code:

ExcessBLarg! posted:If you know the buyer is savvy and wants to load a custom ROM on it anyways then it doesn't really matter. But if you don't know that I would definitely restore a stock ROM on there since there's nothing shittier than someone who doesn't know anything about phones getting a custom ROMed phone which causes them nothing but grief. What if the stock rom version is older than the current rom?

I'm using Bugless Beast 4.1.1 (JellyBean) and I get about 15-16 hours with the Extended Battery. Before, on ICS, I used the latest AOKP and Franco Kernel milestone 4 and got about the same. Gyshall fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Jul 16, 2012 |

I got the menotek MHL adapter and the converter tip for my samsung galaxy s3 the regular cable does not work with most current gen phones. However I plugged this into my samsung tv which detected the device but displayed a blank screen. I plugged it into my LG tv and it detected nothing. Anyone have success with the non samsung MHL adapter with the galaxy s3? http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-EPL-FU10BEBSTA-HDTV-Adapter-Converter/dp/B0089VO86Y http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005F9W6DU/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M2T1_SC_dp_1

Looks like all kinds of roms are starting to pop up on XDA for the S3. Really liking the different opportunities. I'm new to the rooting biz and well frankly Android in general, S3 is my first Android phone, had an iPhone for 4 years. Are there any issues to flashing custom roms frequently? I found it so easy to do as long as they don't have any major issues I've been checking them out. Also is there a more efficient method of restoring apps and their data than making a Titanium backup and restoring from it each time?

If you have Titanium Backup Pro you can do a batch backup/restore of all your apps and data. I assume you are still using the free version. Titanium Pro can also restore apps from any nandroid backups (nandroid is a system backup, accessible in recovery). nimper fucked around with this message at 17:27 on Jul 17, 2012 |

I didn't install the 4.1.1 update on my Nexus 7 before I unlocked/rooted/installed CWR  Is there any other way (short of me waiting for a ROM) to install 4.1.1? I get the "system update" notification, but everytime I go to install it, it just boots into CWR and fails (as expected). I'm guessing I would need to restore stock recovery, install the update, flash back to CWR, and possibly re-root?
