adjust color settings? - Nexus 7 General

Is there way I can adjust the color settings on my N7. Is there a ROM that has this feature built in. I remember using an app called voodoo on my old nexus galaxy s is there a third party app that let's u do that with the n7? Tia

Short answer. no. A few of the kernel developers have looked into it, but have found that our IPS screens don't allow it.

The Tegra Prism Toggle helped make the screen a bit less washed out. Its not the greatest screen in the world but after many years of using amoleds i must say that it does one thing better than all of my previous devices, whites. Its cinda crispy and loveable too...

New Nexus 7 Landscape Mode

I bought the N7 a few weeks ago an love it. The only thing I found I didn't like was not
having home screen rotate to landscape mode. Luckily there is a free app in Google Play

Ratings are saying that it causes lag. If rooted might as well edit local.prop

Just use the beta apex launcher it is perfect.

Nova launcher also does the job, its so smooth on jellybean

I get so much lag doing the local.prop fix. Sometimes it works immediately when I rotate, but more times than not it will hang for 30-40 seconds before you see anything or can do anything. Ever since I turned off Currents everything else has been perfect except screen rotation. Any ideas?

Edit the build.prop file for true tablet ui with no lag. The dpi I use is 175 which is perfect. You do have to revert back to 213 to make purchases threw play. So I buy apps in bundles so I spend as little time with that hideous stock phone ui.

Why not just use a multi dpi play store like i do? I use slimBean, one is included with that. I can see all apps at any dpi

Or use EOS rom which has native DPI tablet mode and no worries at all.

I caved in and bought the ultimate rotation license for $4 :what: It seemed a bit much but it works like a charm with no lag and it rotates in a split second unlike the other methods I tried. Another thing I factored in was, I was able to also use the license for my samsung galaxy s3 cause touch wiz also doesn't rotate so I figure 4 bucks for 2 of my devices isnt that bad.

Use ultimate rotate control with your 25 bucks its worth it

I love ultimate screen control , but is it normal for the notification shade to be towards the left when in landscape mode (when pulled down)? I wish it were in the middle...

Ive just found THE most annoying problem in the N4...

And now Im going to ruin your day. If you have folders and app icons mixed on the home screen, the labels dont align. App icons text sits noticeably higher than the label for folders. Its annoying the bejesus out of me...
Software update will fix it. Big deal.
Please provide a screenshot.

You don't care but some do. Sorry we don't all think like you! The fact is it shouldn't even be there. I have never seen this on any android phone I have used or any of the dozens of Stock/Custom ROMs.
I've found something much worse
For me anyway, when I set the brightness to the maximum and then put a black background, a single red stuck pixel shows up near the center. It only seems to be visible with the brightness turned up and on darker backgrounds.
I've tried using the stuck pixel fixer apps but none have worked so far :/ Anyone have any ideas?
Very terrible, this has made me cancel Thanksgiving.

Port of galaxy tab ROM?

Is this possible? Not stock based ROM with some themes and tweaks but a full out port of a tab2 7".

sure, if youre willing to work at it. but chances are it wont run perfectly. why would you want to downgrade your nexus 7 anyways?
Is there something about the Tab's version of Android that makes you want it over Google's? If it is something specific to the Tab from Samsung and not just an app the likelihood is it won't run right on the Nexus.
I had the chance to get a tab and I wanna see what the tab was like.

Might try a touchwiz rom, I think that the tabs are over rated.

Touchwiz rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038920&highlight=touchwiz
I know of the ROM with the launcher but it doesn't have all the features the tab has to offer. (Not trying to say the tab is better than the nexus because the nexus 7 is amazing)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Part of what makes the N7 so much better than the Tab is that it has much better hardware and specs. Running the Tab's version of Android on the N7 (assuming you could) wouldn't tell you much about the Tab in terms of performance. It would be a useless comparison in that regard.
The only thing I would want to see from the tab 2 7inch is the tab ui launcher from its ics Rom, I always see the other launcher from jb ported but never the one that has tab ui

I see threads like this in the forums of every device I've owned (and that's a few).
People want HTC sense on their Samsung's, Touchwiz on their HTC, or some other combination.
The only device I've ever seen it pulled off successfully was HTC sense on the nexus one and only because the HTC desire had identical internal hardware.
It's just way too much work as overlays like Sense, Touchwiz, and Motoblur are closed source. It's possible to reverse engineer them and get them working on different hardware but it's a huge amount of labour and the results would be poorly optimized and not very much fun to use if someone even did manage it.
Some people with tabs go to great effort to run pure Google on them and you have that out of the box so be grateful for what you have. The grass is always greener on the other side.

Hey,
Unfortunately I don't think this is possible due to the size of the processor in our phone.
From what I've heard the S2 only just got Multi-window working properly- and this is a phone with at least double the power of our Galaxy S.
The closest we can get is apps in Play Store- stuff such as Stick it!, Super Video, AirCalc, Pop-up Browser, etc etc.
Sad though, I'd really love to see this phone do that

none that i know of
samsung design their phones based on market research so they probably found the number of people that cared about BLN control was not that high
/edit: oops i thought you mean s3 mini
cm11 novafusion for example has backlight notification enabled by default
