Hello, I was wondering if there is a custom rom with gamma control built in? I'm just so frustrated with this blacking clipping issue, I wish I could change the gamma level some how... :/ I have heard couple apps that does this but uses CPU and doesn't work on videos
Thank you
In ParanoidAndroid there is a setting "Outdoor Mode" It is not exactly what you looking for but it makes gamma a bit higher.
CM9 has it, but it's not yet working. There is also Outdoor Mode available - exactly like in Paranoid rom mentioned by Abagnale.
Thanks guys, I guess there is no way to lower the gamma level I can't believe there is no fix for this black crush issue since the release of gnote /sigh

Hello!I was an owner of a galaxy s phone and thinking of trading my desire Z, for a galaxy s again in case a few of the issues the phone had, are fixed by now..
so here i go :
1) does the new voodoo sharpness fix really make a difference?i used to hate how text looked like when zoomed back when i had sgs..the colour fix seems to be great from the photos i have seen..But does the sharpness hack actually make up for the unused subpixels?
2) has there been any fixes on the GPS scene?With my curent phone i can get gps lock in 5 seconds inside the house..i am not asking for something as insane, but is it possible to get fixes now?
3)have lag fixes evolved the last 3 months?I remember using xda lag fix but the phone still was unresponsive at times..
4)Any cm7 ports for sgs yet?

1. Personally, I don't notice that much of a difference with Voodoo sharpness. You really can't fix it. All PenTile matrix displays look like this.
2. GPS seems to be a hit and miss. I can get a lock in 10 seconds on average.
3. Lag does not exist anymore. Samsung stepped up the rfs with froyo builds, and either voodoo or ultimate lagfix is incorporated in almost every rom and kernel now.
4. CM7 is making great progress. There are still a few issues that need to be resolved, but you can go build it and try it out for yourself right now.

I will rethink about it then..Even when i held my sgs next to my old slcd desire the different was worlds appart..i will still like to hear more opinions please..
Using hardcores kernel seems to make this thing fly, so lag is no longer an issue IMHO.
My gps locks within 10 seconds inside and faster outside, this is using one of the recent modems.
I never had an issue with the sharpness of the display so I can't comment on that front.

Does this really fix the gps problem? I was playing around with the thought to send the phone back to repair.. So is the fix AND the accuracy fixed in gingerbread? So no more 30m offset sometimes and waiting for a fix for minutes?

The problem isn't really with the software, its hardware oriented, so Voodoo sharpness can't really do anything about the "spotty" appearance of the display. This post helps to show the difference between the PenTile matrix used in our phones and a conventional RGB layout.

Yea..i know all about it..silly RGBR system...but if the voodoo hack is in reality as effective as it appears in the photos here

and you guys could confirm this, i am going to trade in for an sgs within the week

Its nowhere near as effective in real life as it is in those pictures. And you have to remember that the photos are simluated. Its likely that a regular screenshot was taken and over sharpened in an image editor like photoshop.
My eyes are very sharp, so thats why I hate reading text on this display(but not a deal breaker, I still love my phone). Other people I know don't see the ""spottiness" at all. In my opinion, if you can see the spottiness because you have good/average eyes, Voodoo sharpness won't really change much for you.
I wouldnt trade super amoled for anything else (except maybe super amoled +). Sure, pentile isn't super sharp but its a small price to pay for superb contrast and great colours. Trade it and try hardcores kernel with sharpness + color fix.

There is an app called Display Tester which shows if your display is calibrated well. It shows you colors with many different shades of those colors. Basically, when the colors switch nicely and smoothly and each shade has its own visible box it means your screen is well calibrated. There's also gamma stuff which is important.

damn some lines are still present on banding test
That's what I'm saying. We got a long way to go. Also a lot of the blocks are indistinguishable meaning some values are off. By lines you mean those dark horizontal lines right? I have them too

Same here, you can fix the colours but not gamma yet.

Me too, the problem arises when we have to develop and test (i.e. apps or web) on a 'miscalibrated' display. Apart from that it's all good.
Thank you all you guys, for your effort and discoveries. Although we don't have a definitive solution yet, just knowing it make things coherent.

Might do a test later and see if there's any difference on stock jwr 4.3 kernel compared to 4.2.2
I will use a custom 4.3 kernel with gamma control with 4.2.2 values to compare with.
So can you guys tell me what methods of altering color settings there are besides the old [0-255]Red,Green,Blue. And amp0 amp1. This is all I have using trickstermod and Matr1x 4.3 kernel. Are there currently any other WORKING methods to alter colors? I heard something about faux and gamma.:cyclops:
well theres some calibration kernel released.theres also faux clock and franco app which lets you calibrate the display.but some people said that calibrating will do damage to screen and posibbly burn the screen.

This.
Yep just up the colour intensity a little but not so far that skin tones look like radiation burns (folks do get carried away) and you are good to go.
Thats the app i used to find my optimal settings. Modified ceejays (i think its in the spreadsheet/francos app - i increased contrast to "2" from "0" to get gamma 2.2) settings to get 2.2 gamma on RBG and very minimal (hardly visible) banding. Infact, the banding is not worse that stock settings. Colors look absolutly fantastic compared to dull/washed out 1.6 (?) gamma stock settings.
i'm f**king colorblind, so it doesn't matter to me what you "regular" people see...my colors are awesome
Hey guys, just got my nexus 6 yesterday and I noticed I have the pink tint issue only when I'm using adaptive brightness, its not a big deal for me but once kernels get gamma control support would we be able to fix this issue? just curious if its fully a hardware problem or software.
Also I don't if this has been answered already but why does the brightness go so much lower when adaptive brightness is on?
Any insight would be great, thanks!
I'm wondering the same thing! And what's the difference on battery comparing adaptive brightness on vs off aswell
If I turn my brightness way down it turns pinkish.
Nexus 6

ElementalX kernel has gamma control capabilities if you use the app for the kernel. It works great.

The nexus 6 is made to do this. It was explained before the phones release although I forget the link I read it on.

ElementalX has color control like other kernels but no kernels have gamma control yet.
That being said. I found running the device on the cooler side ~7400K reduces the pinkish hue seen in dark rooms on lower brightness with adaptive display

True enough. Was thinking one in the same.

It looks like the whites in my Nexus 6 is much better(as in less yellowish) after the Marshmallow update.
Just wanted to know if anyone else noticed it or me just hallucinating.
did you update through the normal System Updates? or custom rom ?
I kinda felt this as well on cataclysm marshmallow. It come with stock kernel (with supersu tweaks).
Via normal system update.

I've noticed this too. Others have told me the same thing. Also I think the salmon/pink color is less noticeable at low brightness. You can still see it, but its not as bad as it was on Lollipop
I have always noticed this and worked around it with color controls and a compatible kernel. i know that's really not the correct answer but i have 2 other people at my work with nexus 6 and they don't notice it but since mine is customized i do. i don't get why google doesn't just build in the controls to make it the way you prefer it. flash a custom kernel with color control and you can tweak it all to your prefered liking. i was able to get the whites near perfect using the nexus 9 as the comparison. you also can then tweak it however you like. at low brightness though, it still gets that pinkish color.
Hello
I think that there is something wrong with my nexus 6 vibration.. It feels and sounds awkward. It's louder than my ringtone...
Do you guys have the same problem?
How can I lower the intensity?
Can the vibration piece be replaced?
Thank you!
Mine also is abnormally loud and sounds like it's rattling around in there.

A lot of custom kernels support adjusting the vibration strength, then just use kernel auditor.

I'm on elemental X kernel. I Can't find vibration intensity control on kernel auditor.. I know it should be under misc but it's not there!

Sounds like it doesn't support it then. Despair, benzoCore, Blu_Spark, hellsCore, and probably a few others support vibration control. I set mine to 70% and it's still strong enough to feel without being extremely loud or rattly.
