Hi,
Has anyone else noticed a problem with the S3s screen?
I opened Ingress and I saw this screen with blue and black.
I suppose the transition should be gentle but it's in bars what I think is weird.
Also, if I'm on an AOSP rom the menus are sometimes like this as well.
I was wondering if my diwmlay is faulty or whatever and if I should bring it back as my volume button is sticky as well.

You have low quality menu background, there is flashable fix somewhere.

Obviously, if your display was faulty, the problem wouldn't be there on a screenshot :laugh:
Just a low-quality gradient

The problem is there's a "background" image baked into Android that has crappy dithering. There's a fix on this forum called dithered holo background fix or something like that. It's also available in Omega Files. I flash it in all the ROMs I install.

Well to me it looks looks the graduating grays on the toggles is intentional by the software. You can clearly see the colors move with the sliding toggle. I like it.

That's not the black crush. That's only there because the stock rom has ****ty graphics that didnt scale properly. See attached screenshot that does not have the gruduations.

+1 definitely not black crush. Most of the android apps aren't designed with 1280x800 resolution in mind so this happens. It's just like zooming in on a really low resolution image on your computer, it looks like crap. Same thing can be seen in the XDA app splash screen.
yup most graphics are made for the 800x480 screens
Wow i do see the difference. Good thing its not a hardware issue.
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
Idk if this has been mentioned yet, but i use this feature everyday...no more swiping the top of the screen to adjust brightness level.
Is there a new shortcut for this? It's very handy.
oh man are you serious?? I too use this feature ALL the time no joke... hmm maybe I should put off this update? lol. Can someones else with ICS please confirm this?
Unfortunately it is indeed gone (I used it very often before, too).

I just went back stock and updated today and can confirm it's no longer there. I noticed the same with the ICS leaks that have been out recently but just thought it was something to do with being a leak.
Unfortunate, I really liked that feature.
A lot of the CM9 based ROMS have this feature available.

Do you all really not look in the market or on google for apps or do you just come here for answers cause you don't wanna take the time to look? Here is an app that does exactly what you want. You can control brightness by swipeing the top, bottom or side, your choice. It can also bee seen or you can make the bar transparent https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.DisplayBrightness&hl=en
There is another app, Notification Toggle which mimics that of the 15 toggle mod that we were seeing around a bit before. You can put it in your status bar so all you do is pull down and set brightness from there plus a whole mess of other stuff.
Hope you enjoy.

Wow! After using the app porkenhimer suggested (my new favorite app : thanks) I can see what the other gentlemen were talking about. That would be a feature I would miss and ask for in future roms.
If you don't have this app, get it asap.

While your reply had useful information, you answered a question that wasn't asked and were kind of a jerk about it.

After trying this app i'll admit it's a terrible replacement. I might try the similar app that is just a widget and see if that'll work better.

Now that the OTA is finally rolling out and people are updating, I think it's a good time for a thread about the differences aside from what's mentioned in the changelog. It'll give a little insight as to what's changed/added.
So feel free to start listing out what's changed!

Don't notice anything new right off the bat with the camera. It did take a while to update the firmware though. Still have to dig around
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Here is a summary of changes I noticed:
UI is smoother than before with no hiccups yet, but that may be a placebo effect.
Notification panel toggles look shorter and waste less vertical space. They cannot be turned off anymore. Now you can only select which ones can be scrolled through horizontally before you have to open the full toggles drawer.
Default font seems to have been updated, though I am not sure whether I was on Samsung Sans beforehand and it simply reset the font.
Upon further inspection, it seems as if my font choice has been reset to default from Samsung Sans.
Camera firmware update, but I don't immediately see any changes.
When viewing photos in gallery or camera app, the date taken is shown briefly on the bottom left.
GPS location and Verizon location services have been merged into one option, it is no longer possible to disable Verizon location services if you want to use GPS.
Blocking mode, reading mode added.
Wifi notification can be disabled.
Play store updated to new sliding drawer, version 4.4.2.1 (this may have just been a coincidentally simultaneous update on my part).
There is a link in the app drawer to install KNOX, which looks like some sort of secure VM based on the text in the app.
NFL Mobile added (may have been in MI1 and I just didn't notice, but it is in my app drawer).
Contacts list is more compact (white space removed), you can now see approx. 9 contacts at a time. There is no scroll bar anymore, and the letters to quickly jump through the list are permanently visible.
Wifi location polling when wifi is off (as per Android 4.3).
Calculator is fullscreen (no status bar) with no way to change it, pretty sure this didn't happen before.
The stock music player can now play the mp3 files I have saved on the device. It always said that the files were unsupported beforehand, and I did not change them at all.
The dialer doesn't seem to lag as much when looking up contacts as you type (666 for "MOM"), but this might have come with the overall UI. It also doesn't lock up the phone for half a second when initiating a call anymore.
With Air View on, a few of the options in Developer Options are highlighted when hovering over them (not sure where this came from or why it is there, maybe testing for their 4.4 build, but I noticed it when going through the settings).
Clock app UI updated.
"Disable" in application manager is renamed to "Turn off."
That is all I can see immediately. I do not use stock launcher, keyboard, browser, or email so I did not check these.
Just quick question for those that got it, one of you said your font got reset did ajuthing else reset or get wiped?

Developer Option Reset
There is a bug with the new camera. I have all the animation and transitions set to off in developer options. Transition animation scale gets set to 1x every time the camera is launched. Super annoying.
Thanks for such a complete changelog!
Google Play updated on my VzwGS4 4.2.2 ME7 and now has sliding drawer.

I've looked everywhere I can think of and didn't see this answered anywhere. I'm using stock jellybean 4.3 and my keyboard button with the mic doesn't have the options of replacing the mic with a different key such as comma and question mark. Does anyone know how I can get those options back? Picture shows what I'm talking about better.

I'm tracking that there is something like it on the right side of the keyboard. But what I'm looking for is the option to replace the mic with a different punctuation. The key on the right side isn't able to be changed, the one on the left should be able to. Picture for reference.

Hi,
As you all know, when you set your wallpaper it stretches out on more than one page.
I do not want this to happen. is there any way you can change this?
Lets say i want to use the below image and want it to fit the screen and not strech out.
Is there a way for me to do it without it looking bad?
I used a program before (cant remember the name wallpaperiwisisi or something) but that didnt work as good as i thought.
Image to wallpaper is a great app to use
I think you cant disable the scaling or wallpaper scrolling

There's a few Live Wallpaper's that will let you load an image and it won't scroll, can't remember their names though, but should give you an idea of where to start looking.
