IPS Screen color

When I first got my nexus the screen was a little washed away.. and then found out I can change them
Here are my values :
Red: 238
Green: 228
Blue: 240
I found this to be the best values and it honestly makes a difference. I'm not taking credit for it, just found it on some youtube video. So what are your values ? Share your personal opinion

I don't think changing RGB values makes a lot of difference, it does a little bit but there more important settings to adjust colours like gamma. But you can find all info here

I don't mess directly with the RGB values, but I do use Trickster Mod Kernel Settings to switch the stock Google color presets to LG's stock color presets which I find much more vibrant and contrasty in a very good way.

I find LG is washed out too, just a little better. I found the PA contrasty preset best.

Seems good settings,try it,3KS

If you're on faux kernel then you should use this script I edited to make the colors amazing.
just edit the name of the file- remove the .txt then run it in system tuner terminal with su checked and you'll never look back

LG better?

Color to default but gamma modified. I use recommended settings of Franco's app. Pretty awesome.

Well, it's only a little better than Google's calibration.

googles was terrible, lg's is ok but still not optimal, from what i remember it looked cartoonish even.

Using franco kernel updater to tweak the misc. gammas from the Stock preset. Increased saturation (87), contrast (13), and brightness (13).
But not quite sure if I like that better, or if I prefer my tweaked version of franco recommended values...

I use faux with app and color pop preset on the matrix 8.5 which supports the faux mods

There was a post in the Franco thread that did an absolutely amazing job of modifying the colours using the Franco app, but sadly since the values in the app vs his post have changed, I kind of had to fudge it a bit.

The blacks in the tuning tool don't show up like they should, but I'm okay with slightly muddy blacks as long as it all works out with the rest:
RGB each at 175
RB gamma:
Greys 0
Mids 55
Whites 7
Misc Gamma settings
Contrast 0
Brightness 0
Saturation 119
Colours pop and work very well for me. I'll be hanging on to this. just wish Photog would come up with an updated version.

I'm am using and have been using Carbon 1.6 ROM with the Trinity kernel and after messing around with colors for about a week, I finally found, to me, the correct settings. The blacks are black and the whites are white.
I changed the colors via Trickster app, found in the Nexus 4 "theme/apps" forum. FYI
Hope these settings helps those looking for some good colors.

[Q] Washed out colors/poor black levels

My friend just bought this phone and I am shocked at how poor the display is. I was so excited to check out this phone but compared to my Xperia S, the display is crap. The colors are so washed out, the status bar is grey not black...it's not so bad when viewing videos where bravia kicks in, but in the System UI it's piss poor. My Xperia S is so much vibrant and I can't believe that is the case.
I tried googling, saw a lot of people complaining, but some of the data is old and supposedly that was only the case in test models? Has this issue not been resolved or is my friend's phone defected?

The status bar is meant to be grey.

A a snippet from my post in another thread:
The screen looks stunning, like as good as (if not better than) HTC One stunning.
I think the biggest problem is genuinely the grey interface. If you dump the default wallpaper for one with some deep colours it really looks awesome. I reckon if the next update has black interface bars too, it will really show up that this is a really nice screen, just with a slightly dull initial interface.

Change your wallpaper to black you will see the black than.
Please Sony release the update and make the ui black and let us free. lol.

The built in wallpaper of a blue flower on black background really shows the blacks up well.

Why are people still responding to posts questioning the screen quality? It's obvious that the colours are not subject to over saturation and therefore will look 'washed out' next to other devices that have the saturation cranked up to the max. I was initially a bit disappointed with the screen myself, but after having the Z for a few weeks, now see the colours are actually displayed correctly on the Z.

Your friends phone is totally fine. The xperia z i like that. There are a couple of tweaks that can modify and improve the xperia z colours it like the whitebalance mod
Press thanks if i have helped

Thanks guys, I want trying to bash Sony, I was just surprised initially. Very bad decision by Sony with the UI, really looks bad and very washed out..
I went to service mode and did the display test, the blacks are fine.

The next update is said to have black ui bars so it should make that side of it better.

Ya, the worldwide edition status bar is in grey color, only Japan DoCoMo Edition origin in black.
That why a lot mod already here for changing grey bar to black or even now semi transparent possible.
Rumors also mention coming version will revert to black bar.

Kernel Request

Can any developers create a pure stock and vanilla stock kernel with Live Color and USB-Host?
Stock stuffs has been working for me fine, with the exception of display color. the yellow tint sometimes really makes me envy of Samsung or Crapple products.
or if iodak puts live color into his kernel? :cyclops:

BUMP

Use Optimus Prime 2.7 for stock and then use Arararagi's toolbox to set the gamma on saturated. Your phone will look more colourful and brillant :thumbup:

Color text in Contacts App

The color of the text fields and title company is gray. This takes away visibility in the background instead of white of name and surname.
It's just my fault? or it happens to you.

What Rom do you use??? stock Rom or CM or another custom Rom???

Screen colour settings (SYNAPSE/ CUSTOM KERNEL)

As you probably know that the 38R update has removed the custom colour settings. After flashing Ak kernel I have found in the synapse app the ability to change display settings. Does anyone know the colour settings of vivid in the cm11s custom settings so that it can be used in Synapse? And feel free to share your colour settings as well.

True.
But since I'm already in here, I might as well mention that I tried the settings in the post you quoted above. It was VERY close, but after adjusting RGB to 247 / 249 / 255 it was perfect.

Maybe virus becozz colour adjustment doesent change wiping colours.....
