[Q] Android phone as Ambilight system - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is just my new idea for app with great use and I'm just beginner not good enough to make it.
So, my idea is: Use some ambilight screen analyzer to make signal that would normally go to ambilight LED lamp, BUT it would go directly to android phone (with installed special app) connected to PC (with ADB drivers if needed).So shorter, I want to use phone's screen as that LED lamp.
Sorry for writing to this thread, I wanted to post it on software development, but I have not posted anything yet. :angel:

What is ambilight could you please tell???

Here's link for video with ambilight in action.It's actually LED lamps or LED stripes that are changing their colour accordingly averaged colour on monitor.

Hmm saw the video
An app for this can be easily build
But to get the colors for display ain't no peice of cake I may also add that a phone cannot recreate such an effect due to its hardware limitations and size

1)I agree, about the colour source, but I would aim to translation of software already made.I'm sure it's much easier to translate signal than create new software for game analysis.
2)in dark room phone's screen could light it very well

IS it an open source project?
Well even if it is we can't use other people's hard work for our benefit and I'm sure that they won't allow us to mod their codes

I saw the site and I don't think there gonna give you the sources but there's no harm trying it if you get the sources then i could help
I would only help if you get these sources by requesting them and not downloading over torrents
and if you're planning to monetize with it I ain't gonna help you.
If its just for fun then I will help

In the xda or tapatalk app blocks like code blocks are presented on the screen as normal text, imagine if someone were to paste the adb logcat or dmesg output into a code block. On a normal browser said block would show in a box that scrolls, in box the xda and tapatalk app it shows the same as the rest of the post and can be quite long.
Even un checking the BBcode option does not hide such blocks, and often times I'm *****ed at for my "long posts" by users viewing via the apps.

There's no ready solution for a one click quality picture. If you want it iPhone style with overcharged colours, adjust white balance and ISO.

Get a good half-pro camera, e.g. Sony NX1.
The best suggestion...
You wont get much better quality as all generic camera software will use the firmware libs/drivers - you could learn to dev android sdk, then mod the camera/drivers, work out how to change the quality matrix/compression with in the camera apk, devise how to convert photos for raw image format using the camera libs/firmware for better compression/ratio etc.

You cant make xperia s camera any better than default ability,
the only thing you can do are taking some great apps, or just buy the Sony NEXF3 :good:
Here are my suggestions:
1.UCam:the best all-around free camera app
2.HDR Camera: when you click it, it will take 3 photos in same time and combined with best quality
3.Cymera: used to take a "beauty" face picture, and not look wired.
4.Line Camera: if u wanna upload ur pic on facebook and chat with girls, use it.
I personally find the camera much better than the one on the 4S. The only issue I had was that when you ask it to take a photo straight out of quick launch, it would be horrible. Blurred and over exposed. The greatest single change you can make to the Xperia S (IMHO) is to change the quick launch camera option to Launch Only. Startup time is still 3 times quicker than the 4S, perhaps more, and perfect shots every time.
Root ur XperiaS
edit the build.prop
add this following code
ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100

Need advice on LED control and CM apps

Hi fellow note2 users,
I am looking for a way to set the colors for the notification LED. I just can't find the right app. can someone tell me how or what to use?
Other question is if there is a way to get the stock Android dialer and contact list like in cyanogenmod instead of the touchwiz apps.
Thanks!

Try Light Manager from the Play Store, that's what I'm using now and it seems to be doing what it should be so far. Thing is some colors are a bit off, but its still ok.
No idea on the Dialer though.
light manager hasn't all good reviews. but you think it should do the trick? thanks. can I just try it and remove it when not happy?

[ROM][4.2.2][WIP][Alpha] SmartisanOS 22JAN2014

Ok guys. I'm posting this with hopes that I can get a little help on it. This is just a port and is VERY much an Alpha, so don't come and complain because things no worky.
Don't flash unless you know what you're doing!
If you brick your phone because you did something stupid, don't blame me.
Things that work-
It boots.
Soft keys(although they don't light up)/hard keys.
Proximity sensor.
Rotation.
Sound.
Vibration.
Things that don't work-
Phone/data/signal.
Bluetooth.
Wifi sort of works, it turns on and will scan successfully, but unable to connect.
Softkey lights.
Pretty sure GPS although I haven't tested it.
Storage is almost working.(Reads internal storage, but is linked wrong. Should be fixed next build.)
Camera- See above ^^
Probably more.
Like I said, it is just a preview and I am hoping to get someone on board that is able to help out.
One of the big things would be an updated 4.2.2 kernel WITHOUT SELinux. So if you know your way around kernel source and are feeling frisky, I wouldn't mind a kernel

Okay for data/signal depending on how they have their framework setup you need to add all your CM RIL from cm telephony-common.jar Decompile it and look for all the smalis with RIL in the name and phonefactory. Smali add all those smalis to smartisan telephony-common.jar /com/android/internal/telephony that should give you functioning data or a start to phone a radio log would help btw
Storage is related to storage-list.XML in framework-res.apk use the one from CM for your device(should resolve camera also but I recommend using Gallery2.apk from CM since it will 100% work)
Soft key lights is in Framework-res .apk /res/values/arrays.xml that controls button brightness and brightness levels/vibration
What device was this ported from?

I was able to get storage working for the most part. File manager shows everything at least. Camera and Gallery work, but Gallery only shows pictures that were taken after ROM was installed and doesn't show anything that is already on the device. I replaced the config_autoBrightnessButtonBacklightValues with the ones from CM. Still a no go for the button lights but that's not anything major haha. Tried copying the ril files you mentioned and now it won't let me open settings.

Two options that work good in my opinion.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zoodles.kidmode
Kid lets you block access to apps selectively. So no web browser or play store from angry birds etc.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.kidslock
And if you are using mx player for movies, then lock them into the app with this plug in.
Good luck, kids are much smarter than they appear with these devices!
