Hi, new member here.
After reading about the custom roms for quite a while I finally decided to move on from the official ICS 4.0.4 to try the latest. I successfully installed this one: [ROM] [JB 4.3.1] CM10.2/SGT7 for P4WIFI and P4 [20131116]
While it feels overall much more quick and better than ICS and has lots of more advanced settings that are pretty useful, there's one thing I was missing in the settings and I'm simply wondering if it's there and I just couldn't find it.
You see, I often use the tablet to view photos and videos/movies and all my other displays in my home are calibrated to the reference, and when using Samsung's version of ICS 4.0.4 there was a color setting in display settings looking like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
By default it was set to standard which gave the whole image an uncomfortable blue tint, but when set to movie it resembled my other displays enough for me to not go for some more advanced calibration method. In the custom rom the display is set to what would've been standard in the old settings.
So is this a feature only available in Samsung's UI or can I find it somewhere buried in the menus of the custom rom?
If it's not there, are there any advanced color settings apps that can't be found on google play that maybe works even better?
I'm off to try some of the settings apps until I get a reply. Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
I've tried lots of apps and stuff now and nothing can correct the picture like the old setting did.
If there's no way to implement this into the rom I guess I'm rolling back to ICS.

I'm running 2.1 Generic Rooted. I also use FolderOrganizer with the Widgets/Containers.
I've noticed running the Sony 2.1 Home Screen that the transpararent background of the FolderOrganizer containers looks A LOT better than it use to.
However I prefer to run LauncherPro. When I use LauncherPro though the gradients look like they use too on 1.6.
Has anyone noticed this?
LauncherPro

The one with stock Sony launcher does look better.
BTW thats a nice wallpaper.. mind sharing it?

No dice. I did notice though that when I flip through home screens the gradient is "Sony Home Screen Quality" for a second then when the page is finished "bouncing" the gradient turns back to the ugly LauncherPro style.
Quite odd. Now that I've noticed it, it bugs me.
EDIT: Ok with the high quality scrolling on it looks normal anytime I'm scrolling pages. So I have HQ but only when scrolling then it is low quality when you release the screen. What the hell.
I would like to know what makes the notification bar have quick setting option. I like how there are two tabs on the bottom, one for notifications and quick setting, like the way it's setup in AOSP Nightmare ROMs. I like Sportsstar's because of the stock look and feel so how can I have both. I have copied the rosie.apk from the AOSP version and that didn't do it, and tried several things that cause failure to loads. I am slowly running out of ideas. Any thoughts?
What Rom are you trying to do this on?

Sports Nightmare Sense 4 ROM, I think I figured something out but it fc's every three minutes or so.
I put a link below that takes you to the apps and themes section and I flashed the blue venom theme that gives me the quick settings. It works great..no FC or anything(for me at least). I'm on nightmare 1.6. I have the blue. It also flashes messages 4.5 though (you can change background with any image in your gallery, FC with HTC backgrounds) and in the case that you don't like it..you might want to back up your original message app with that titanium back up or something.
This is what mine looks like

Hello!
I am using SlimSaber - SlimLP which is a 5.1.1 ROM and I'm facing a single issue with it, I'm posting it here since the ROM's thread seems pretty dead, but it's still a great ROM.
I want to remove the 3-dot menu also called overflow buttons because I don't use the navigation bar. As you may know, we have physical buttons in our Galaxy S2s and those are more than enough for me.
Look at how much space it takes, it cuts almost everyone's names on my device when using the stock DPI (lcd density)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The ROM looks like it has a built-in function to disable them but it doesn't work.
I have also tried adding qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to the build.prop file but it didn't work.
You could say "well just make the LCD density lower by changing the DPI to 200 or something" Yeah but if you do that, games will lag because it thinks you have another screen size, I had that issue and it got solved by going back to the original DPI size. (in addition to all the problems changing DPI could entail).
And also, yeah, it's possible with nowadays' apps to remove them because if you install Samsung's official JB 4.1.2, you can use the actual whatsapp and everything without these 3 dots. Even with CM11 KitKat you can still use your device without those. What does lollipop need in order to get rid of them...
Any other ideas on how to remove that unnecessary button? Thanks in advance.
Hey,
I have just installed Resurrection Remix on my OnePlus X,
and sadly it doesn't contain that lock icon when viewing the Recent Used view (in order to completely shutdown apps),
If you didn't get me - I'm talking about the lock that makes it impossible to close an app that you've locked (by clicking on the lock).
I've tried searching for an app or something which can add that to my phone but couldn't find anything,
is there any way to get it back somehow? I really like that ROM and it works truly amazing on my OPX.

It's not possible... The lock is a feature of OxygenOS and it is not possible to use it on other ROMs because OxygenOS is closed-source.

Would like to update you on the matter: Paranoid Android 7.1.2 is coming to the OPX soon and will have the feature, so all you have to do now is wait
I'm very new to Android and my elderly mum has a N7105 unit. It used to run a very ancient 4.4.3 (I think), but after numerous days and sleepless nights (technology is not my forte) following XDA threads - many thanks to this site - and watching countless number of Youtube videos, I finally managed to successfully flash Lineage OS 14.1 onto it and root it and it runs without a problem.
My question is, can I change the notification pull down thingy (sorry, don't know what it's called) to have the exact same style as the stock Samsung one? She needs to change between WiFi and 4G, but is visually impaired, so the stock one, with the words "WiFi" and "Mobile Data" was very clear and self explanatory. She dislikes the new one as the icons are too "2D" and flat. Also needing to press another minute button on the top right hand corner just to enable 4G is too troublesome for her.
So is there an app or something that can restore the pull down notifications menu to be very close or exactly like the stock one used on N7105? I realize that may be too much to ask, so anything in the vicinity of the latter would be fine (ie. S4, S5, J series) as long as it's early to mid 2010s.
I've tried Material Noticebar and substratum but none restored it to the way it was. All she needs is for the notificaiton pull down to look and function like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Many thanks in advance.
Edit: I'm prepared to pay for any apps/themes if it comes that that. Just need the notification pull down to look and perform like the above.
