How to: Read Manga on the e-ink display in 16 gray levels / tones mode - YotaPhone

--This tread is ONLY for YOTAPHONE 2 with Lollipop (and maybe kitkat too, marshmellow uses separate a separate file for every app)--
Hi all,
So you probably have noticed that the e-ink on the yotaphone2 has 2 modes. One is black and white and has a 8Hz refresh rate and the other mode has 16 different levels / tones of gray but has a very slow refresh rate of less than 2Hz.
So that is why when you work in mirroring mode, you will never see shades of gray but instead they just use dithering to make look like that when actually just using black and white.
This is good for responsiveness but its not what you want when you are trying to read a manga on the e-ink display / epd.
Fortunately, you can configure it easily so that it works in the slow mode.
You can do (even without root!) this by editing the following file on the sd-card: /storage/emulated/0/TitaniumManager/mirroring.cfg
This is exactly what the yotamirrorcfg program from this tread does.
However, the problem seems to be that this file needs to be edited differently for the same results depending on which firmware you have. So I wanted to post here what config I am using, or more precisely: what I added to the mirroring.cfg file for making manga look nice on the epd.
My firmware is the latest russian lollipop firmware (LRX21M.5.0.0-RU1.1.132) and I use mangarock for reading manga. I think this will work on any lollipop version higher than the 1.119 since after that they changed something about this config it seems.
On the 1.119 version, you can work with the program from this tread and just turn local refresh on.
Below is what I added to /storage/emulated/0/TitaniumManager/mirroring.cfg with a text editor.
The effect should be immediately visible after saving the edited file and turning (off and) on mirroring mode. I hope it helps some people, let me know if you find a better configuration or if you people want a new app for this, I can make one if I see it matters to a lot of people .
Code:
[com.nab.khanhluongthanh.mangarock]
sharpening=0.2
slowmode=true
main_waveform=PARTIAL
main_dithering=NONE

Thanks for the tips
Wokrs great with the application i tested, too bad i can't found my fbreader [com.xxxxxx] doesn't seems to be anywhere T_T

Spoted ^^
Here's my setting for reading ebooks with fbreader:
Code:
[org.geometerplus.zlibrary.ui.android]
sharpening=10
slowmode=true
main_waveform=WAVEFORM_GLD
by far more sharp than the yotareader default reader and yet well antialiased ^^

Guy where you pick up LRX21M.5.0.0-RU1.1.132? my YotaPhone can't find any update...
Sorry if is off topic

i think it's a typo, the lastest version is the 5.0.0-RU1.1.124

No its not a typo, now its already 134 by the way: check the screenshot. If you have RU firmware, it should give you the option to update from 124.

I can't get it works with 1.134 (was fine with 1.124b)
Is it ok for you with lastest ru update ?

Yes it works for me on 1.134, it is possible though that the /storage/emulated/0/TitaniumManager/mirroring.cfg file was overwritten when you did the update so you have to edit it again...

It still works. Here is the API documentation for various settings such as waveform and dithering:

Just change the package name to fit whatever app you want.. the link I gave above to API documentation show the options you can change.
You can find the package name by either looking in Settings on your phone or just by looking up the app on the Play Store.
For Marvel Unlimited it is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marvel.unlimited
Thus the com.marvel.unlimited is the app name.
So if you want the same settings that OP uses for his manga reader, just switch change the app name to the Marvel one:
Code:
[com.marvel.unlimited]
sharpening=0.2
slowmode=true
main_waveform=PARTIAL
main_dithering=NONE
Changes to mirroring.cfg take effect after closing and reopening the app you added a setting for.

[Q] MIUI Scrolling Wallpaper

I just recently updated from 2.1.6: old to the new 2.1.20 MIUI for MM2, and i've found that the wallpaper doesn't scrolls anymore.
How can i re-enable this feature cause it was cool on their prior releases but for some strange reason there's no way to enable wallpaper scrolling in MIUI 2.1.20.
Cheers and thanks in advance.

I found a temporary solution i notice after changing the wallpaper i change the home, to another or same:
Themes>Customize>Home>(change to whatever)
This seemed to work after a lot of fiddling, but i only have done it twice so far.
Let me know if it works...
That did the trick! Thanx!

Yea thanks, I was having the same issue. It wouldn't work with one home theme for some reason, I but when I did another similar one it would scroll

Sabsa Prime v2.0 camera works in standard 5m mode

Alireza has worked hard on this sense 4 rom. and fixed many bugs
Everything works fine except the camera still can't take good picture without flash.
Still waiting a perfect Rom.

I am happy to know that Sense 4 camera works in 5m instead of 1m standard mode without flash.
Now I can use it as daily driver.
Hi,
It works for the first photo, then the second is corrupted.
Still fine at 1M though.
EDIT : Turn off "Continuous Shooting" in settings - this fixes and 8M works great now - well done Ali!

Thank you for the hints.
Have tried and it really works.
Can someone give us an overall bug report on this ROM ? does the camera app crash? is there an update issue in Google PLAY ? how is battery life ? etc..
Thanks.
it's extremly buggy. But when you don't need Facebook or HTC Hub you can flash them!

I don't agree that it is extremely buggy. I can say that the Rom maker is hard working and intelligent in solving the issues and solve it fast.
Now ther version is 2.1 already. Worth trying.
It is so far the best ROM for DHD with Sense 4.
However, the only shortcoming I'm facing which doesn't seem to be reported by anyone is the wifi won't scan when turned on and won't connect to any SSID immediately.
I don't have this wifi problem.
I've just tested this ROM and let me say it's pretty fast and smooth. Bugs : Play store apps update doesn't work, auto brightness has a mind of its own and facebook for htc sense seems to be missing.
Htc sense is reloading everytime I leave an app but I think this may be related to some I've done wrong.

You and iFedebankai are on fire
After one day of using I can say that this rom is faster than cm11.
The only problems I got are:
1)Headphones didn't work for me (see a temporary fix below);
2)Vibration is too much weak;
3)Sometimes messages from Telegram or Whatsapp don't display notification until I open the app.
I like so much the UI becase it's different than the other roms. Good work!
FIX FOR HEADPHONES:
If someone got problems with headphones just follow this little guide for a temporary fix:
1)Download from Google Play this app: SoundAbout
2)Open the app, then tap on Phone Call audio
3)Tap on Earpiece (the audio is now coming from front speaker)
4)Put on your home the widget for this app
5)When you want to listen songs from headphones, you have to tap on the widget (should see the writing "on")
If the widget didn't work, then open the app, tap on Media Audio and select Wired Headphones.
PS: This app is a trial version so this fix stop working when the trial expire
PPS: Fix tested on s7390
PPPS: Bug reports tab doesn't work for me
link not working, please update the link
wow, a new rom!
The download is generating too much traffic so now i can't try it, i will try later
thanks

Good Work Guyz
i've tried, this rom have the exactly same issues of cm11, but with my "fix"(in-app video works but lag and sometimes colors are altered), i've had the same headphones bug, and also i noticed a battery drain(i don't know if this is caused by me or not, but in 6 hours it was discharged by 50% and i've used it about 10-20 minutes).
Also if you try to view a youtube video in browser, the browser crash(in cm11 video don't work but no crash)

Okay, when I look at the functionality "Default" means literally that no Icon Pack is enabled.
The OP5 has 3 Icon Packs:
- Oneplus (No Icon Pack)
- Round (Just awkwardly crops the icons, not what the pixels do)
- Square (has only a few custom Icons that are kinda squary)
Uploaded those three APKs to my drive folder:
Oneplus 5 Package

Guys, just a heads up. Some of the apps from OnePlus 5 is now available on apkmirror. I have seen the launcher, camera and icon pack so far.

I also recently updated and most UI and notification improvements are working nice.
Things I noticed though:
1. The location (GPS) feature seems to be so weak and most of the time does not get my location. It is similar to the previous issue when I got the phone last year. Hopefully they will release a fix soon.
2. Cannot use Nova Launcher as default launcher anymore. Not sure what other thirdparty launchers cannot be used.
3. They removed the stock black shark themes for BS1 and BS Helo. Maybe I just need to search in themes. (Maybe someone can give keywords?)
All in all, the update is on the better side. Notification really work way better than before.

1. Agree on this one. GPS got weak. I hope they release updates. But due to nCov, I think it will not be too soon.
2. You still can set Nova Launcher as your default launcher in Nova Launcher's Settings > Set default launcher.
3. Not into themes but yep, it should still be in the Themes store.

2. For the question. From the settings menu, you will go to the home screen menu and the default launcher menu at the top, where you can choose what you want the launcher installed on the phone looks

Definitely on the better side. One issue that I personally though is that I think they remove the Auto Power On function that was really useful for me. Overall update's great.

After updating to JoyUI 11, it did not permit me to use Nova Launcher as default launcher. But after re installing Nova Launcher, I was able to set is as default. Not sure what happened there.
Anyway, no. 2 is confirmed working. Thanks.
I will wait joyui11 until stable
for Global update, Black Shark Team is currently going to have 50 random beta testers which will be based on the comments you provided on their fb page
