Mr2, eh? Are there any major changes to make it worth trying over mr1?

I don't know. Honestly I don't keep close tabs on releases. I always run my own builds from whenever I happen to get an urge to update...
 
Update from twitter: "Nightlies aren't over. 2 things - brief vacation and a feature freeze. They'll resume after a short while. Sorry for not saying sooner!"

Cool, I want to try another ROM in hopes of a working Aspect Ratio Correction app or setting that actually gets SPB Time working.

The DPI adjusters leave me trying every number in the list with only the screen size changing or no change at all.

My Tab 2 7.0 is running CM 9.1 because it's the last ROM that works with SPB Time.

Thanks for the heads up.
The OP sends to a build from 7-21?

I've seen you mention Aspect Ratio Correction a few times now. Perhaps I'm just dumb... but what exactly are you talking about?

Do you have any links, or examples maybe? Is it certain apps that have the incorrect aspect ratio?

I'm kinda guessing that by Aspect Ratio Correction, what you really mean is the phone's DPI settings. Anything PA based should work fine (IE. PAC rom). It just takes some tweaking to get everything to look the way you want it from within the PA settings.

What doesn't work about SPB Time? It appears to simply be an app. If the app doesn't work... clear logcat, open the app, take a logcat. Submit the errors to the developer of the app or perhaps the app and the rom to see which one's actually causing the issue.


My guess is that if you used something like PAC, set your system UI higher, then just set SPBtime to run at the standard phone size... you'd probably be ok.

Thank you for your interest.
Aspect Ratio Correction is a feature of ICS I believe.
It is found in Settings/Display. It adjusts the individual app to display correctly for the LG Spectrum. I think.

My DInc II is running Energy ROM and SPB Time just shows up correctly and the skins download fine.

I think the developer abandoned the app.

I have tried every combination of DPI settings I could think of.
I even tried using Titanium Backup to convert ARC to a user app.

I will keep trying......

I'm not sure what ARC is. So I don't know what benefit making it a user app might have brought.

The only references I found for ICS and Aspect Correction Ratio were basically for HDMI and a few specific apps on specific phones. Do you have a specific app that needs to have it's aspect ratio corrected (ie. it's squashed without being corrected)?

Are you saying that SPB doesn't open, doesn't display correctly, or that it doesn't download skins correctly?


Here's a guide for PA preferences, which PAC uses (kinda) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927208 I link this because it provides an example of what tweaking the DPI/Layout settings actually does. Which, in a way, I think is what you're talking about with aspect ratio.

Personally, I run my phone at 210 dpi and 600p as the layout for most things.

Sorry to hijack the thread.

Same here. Thanks Yoinx.
 
Just FYI the AOKP team is seriously considering starting over clean with 4.3. If they do that it will probably take quite some time before it's ready. So in that case, I plan to attempt to merge 4.3 myself. But first we need a good code base for msm devices. CM is working feverishly on that and I expect it will be another week or so.

I may be totally off and forgive me if i am, but will a.r.c. help hdmi, or will it be a new kernel that will do the trick?

No idea about HDMI or A.R.C... But what is A.R.C. ? google searching it didn't give much.

If HDMI is having issues... It would probably need to be kernel side changes in the display drivers. Is HDMI not working at all, or just distorted/deteriorated?

A.R.C. - aspect ratio correction.
 
Oh. So they're saying the aspect ratio is wrong when using HDMI?

I think that's what's really confusing me a bit right now.

Also, when was the last time that HDMI worked right?

It is possible that merging something similar to this into the kernel could fix it as the code looks like it could apply to the current code fairly cleanly, though I don't have usb to hdmi to do any testing either. It also doesn't apply to our exact regulator... so it would need some tweaking, I would suspect.

Looks like they are realizing how much work it is to start over... lol

I can imagine how much work all of this is. One thing from a NOOBIE point of view, my data usage is way down, using any of these debloated roms keeps it under control. I love it. All the crapware is gone......
