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

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

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.

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.

Awesome WildChild! Hope that there will be a way to mod the LCD auto-brightness settings in that Tweaks app and 1% stock battery icons with no percentage... that's the 2 things I always have to mod on every ROM. I don't like how HTC thinks 75 is the lowest it should go, 30 is much better on the eyes in pitch black rooms, and 20% increments is just crazy talk.

In the video it shows near the end the ability to change the lcd brightness but I don't believe there is a percentage battery mod available. For gb there was but I think they had some problems with ics. Maybe in the future they will figure it out!
thanks for the work and glad to see you on the boards
Well modding this aspect will also cause reboot issues this is why its set as it is....anything under whats its programmed to be set at and it can cause issues

Really, because I've been running pirateghost's stock ICS rooted ROM with both mods since middle of last month and have never had an issue of a reboot or anything else for that matter. I modded the LCD brightness to increments of 30 50 75 100 125 150 etc. I also haven't had any problems with 1% battery increments. Looking forward to your release, it looks like you guys have added lots of goodies.
Theres no problems with modding it, its if you lower it too much....itll cause reboots as it is set too low and i guess the sensors trip and it just reboots....battery mods arent an issue either....reason i said this is to alleviate those who would try this and screw something up, which is more people then you can shake a stick at

Ah ha ok, that makes sense. Noob-proof it I couldn't imagine going much lower, I tired 25 & couldn't really make out colors. I kinda wish I could figure out how to mod it like the Motorolas, the framework I pulled from one had at least 10 auto brightness levels.
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.

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

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

Install franco or leankernel then you'll be able to adjust colors. If you want to try it's best to use lean and set 6500k in Lkconfig, you would have to buy an app for franco.

Boo that's exactly what I didn't want to do, flash custom kernels, I've had so many bad experiences with custom kernels, specially with franco's, stutters, lags and I always end up flashing the stock image in the end
I'm gonna try and give lean kernel a try
It's the only way you can achieve what you want. Try lean or live with the stock color calibration.

I gave in and installed lean kernel and color control (kcal), I used the "reference" calibration of kcal but the ultra saturated reds and oranges drive me crazy, any recommendations?

Look for color profiles, if you wish to pay $5 for Franco kernel app, a large number of color profiles are already included so you can press on them and see the changes real time without having to input the values in.

He uses too aggressive of settings??? Google implemented his theory of settings in 5.1. Not to mention everything is totally configurable you can make it as aggressive or weak as you'd like

Hm.
Not really sure what to say about that then. Is it really a big deal for you? I have LiveDisplay on my phone set up to automatically adjust color temperature. It's usually a cooler blue during the day and a warmer red at night. It hasn't really been an issue for me.
Yeah you have one of the bad screen batches, but there is also an advantage, D2W is easier to implement on your screen model than the other one, downside is, its yellow, put the turned off display in bright sunlight, see the grid? You have a "second gen" screen batch, you can adjust it if you install a custom kernel and use kernel aduitor there is an option to adjust RBG "amounts" (usually depends on the kernel) CM has that integrated.

That auto mode never worked for me, tbh. It would only start to change as night fell, never did any change during the day.
