Screen calibration issue? All selections appear off by 1/16" - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

Does anyone else have an issue with the calibration fo the Galaxy Player 5.0 screen?
When typing with the keyboard, it appears to register keypresses ever so slightly to the right of where they should be; perhaps by 1/16" or so...

hmmm.
No, I don't have that issue at all, but a suggestion would be that you could go tou your settings and do a horizontal calibration. Also another would be to just root it and install a custom rom, many of the custom roms for the samsung galaxy player 5.0 and 4.0 are stabler and more user friendly than the stock rom. I you want a llink I could give you one.

[Q] Just an interesting idea..

Hello everybody,
One week after I got my SGS2 I realized that the screen is way too big for this resolution (480x800). So I started playing with some screen density changer applications from market. Everything worked well, as I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275768 . But, I had some problems with the Market (couldn't download the most important applications) after I changed my screen's DPI.
Recently I found a software in market (LCD Denisty Modder) which in the Pro version offers you a fix for downloading applications from Market.
Ok, my question is : What if we change the screen density with the one on the Samsung Galaxy Note, and we use a Galaxy Note system dump to get the TouchWiz widgets. Could it work?
It would be nice to see some Galaxy Note wanna-be ROMs and believe me, after you use a lower DPI, you don't wanna come back to the stock density.
What do you think?

There's a limit by how much you change the ppi on the phone. I'm not sure why you'd want some touchwiz widgets from the Note

[Q] Help Me Find A Unique Launcher I Saw,Or Any Better Suggestions for Best one?

Hi Every One
I have a Question and i also need a solution
Question
Today i saw a guy showing his Galaxy S2 to someone he had some unique lancher or tweak on his stock Rom,i Couldnt ask but i saw him
* Opening application just by gestures from side of screen
* It Had Mac like animated Dock on the top
* Pages had slide animations,not like touchwiz
I want to ask is there an app like that? or its a typical launcher?
Solution?
I Have Galaxy Note i find it slower than my Older S2,So i was thinking if some one knows any better launcher which uses less ram like the one he had (Mentioned Above ^) or any of ICS rom or any other rom closer to stock which can fix laggy Transition issue's on galaxy note
(More on this Galaxy Note issue in my this post :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1521829)
Please let me know if i am posting in wrong section,but i think as my question is much more important here and its about having that app on any android phone so i posted it in Android(Or should i post it Galaxy Note or S2 section too ?, That would be wrong right?)
Looking forward to your kind replies

Original Keyboard Dock not working with Cyanogenmod

Hello all,
I just wanted to share with you, that my Original Samsung Keyboard Dock is not working with Cyanogenmod 9 from the Development Section here.
Does anybody have a solution for this?
Will it ever work with Cyanogenmod?
So far I am very very impressed with Speed and Stability of the latest CM9 Version by locerra.
Hopefully someone can chime in on the Keyboard Dock Situation...
Thanks again all for making such an incredible Community.
Cheers
qwertz
Doesn't work for me too
Did you ever find a solution for this OP?
I was loving CM10 since its first release, but just went back to the Samsung ICS stock rom last night as i wanted to use the dock keyboard
Thinking of selling it now nad just getting a bluetooth one
just went back to the Samsung ICS stock rom

Same thing for me on SGT-P7510 on sammobile.com
Swiftkey app is a little compatible with external keyboards.
Something like this : go into the settings of the keyboard swiftkey app, validate the Terms od use choose English (US), define Swiftkey as the default input, and therefore in its parameters, go to Advanced > then choose External Keyboard Layout > English and it's good !
Or save the Samsung Keyboard .apk on ICS Stock ROM and bring the application on CM10. Maybe it could work
This is a known limitation of cyanogenmod.
have you read of any hacks / alternate soft keyboards that can get it to work?
The stock ICS rom is so limiting (and to me seems slow) compared to the JB rom (CM10)
i recall having to enable the dock option in the cm settings for my xoom, perhaps the same is true for the gtab?
in Paranoid rom working of keyboard doc should be fixed. I dont have one to test, unfortunately
here is link to changelog http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1838391
Works with the latest CM10 build too (the modified one recently uploaded):
Should work in the latest "official" rom too.

[Q] Whats the best mod/theme/solution for me?

Hi all! now i understand that threads debating the 'Best' ROM, theme, app, mod or setting arent something XDA is fond of, but thats not the particular reason I'm here, I've looked through countless threads in the mod/theme section and I'm wondering if someone can help me find the best solution for me. I'm relatively technically minded and a half-decent IT worker but I will openly admit when it comes to development/flashing, I'm one to follow instructions to the letter to get what I need up and working, but never learn the deeper workings.
I've an unbranded i9300 which I've had flashed with CM 10/10.1 and have kept updating with nightlies, but now I seek to branch out and find a ROM that will allow me the super-stability, additional working features (Allshare Cast [in particular], NFC, multi-view) of the stock Samsung image. I've since flashed philz custom touch recovery, and then proceeded to flash Sotmax Jelly Bean Ultimate Stock V10 available here. Its provided all the features I want, working, a good kernel and some customizability but the cartoony, colourful Samsung visuals are the reason I flashed from stock in the first place.
Can anyone help me find anything I can add to my device to get me a stock 4.1.2 lock screen, dropdown/notifications, launcher and settings? Essentially as much of the UI from CM10.1 as possible. I flashed Domination 1.4.3 as it looked and seemed perfect - but didn't change the lockscreen, and i started noticing lots of lag when scrolling/opening apps instantly. Is it thoroughly incompatible with the ROM im looking to use, or have i done something wrong along the way?
If this is a noob thread i do apologize but these forums can be so cluttered and misorganized to someone unused to searching through them that it can be hard to find something - if you dont know exactly what it is you need.

So you want some features from Samsung stock rom (camera, NFC, default framework and drivers), but the look of original 4.1.2 (CM10)?
I want this too!

Thank you, i'll be checking those two out!
Ive since found the Null ROM here and it also seems to be exactly what we want/need from scratch, a mix of 4.1.2, Samsung Features, and a CM/AOKP look and feel. Still missing that lock screen though. Holo locker is the look that i desire - but it seems to lag when switching on, the normal homescreen displays for up to a second before it reverts to the lock. odd..
I use UltimaRom for same reason.
I wanted to use some of samsung apps but with look and feel of CM10.
And UltimaRom provides that. It also let me choose which samsung I want to keep and which I want to get rid of to keep my phone faster.
Ultima looks excellent! Thanks for the recommendation, nice boot loaders too and excellent file/mod support on his site

take a look at the null rom. Perfect for all your needs.

[Q] Is there any ROMS with built in 3 by 3 keypad or samsung?

Essentially all phones I've used I've been using the 3 by 3 keypad, I know exactly where all the keys are and I can type much faster with it. I have found that since I've updated my phone from foxhound build, there seem to be no new builds that have the old fashion keypad. I don't know if it's just called the samsung keypad or what but I really prefer the old style I can actually type properly without having to focus too intently. That and my thumbs are wide and usually hit the wrong keys. Could someone point me to the right ROM or addition to be able to add to my phone. Currently using SuperNexus
