Anti-Amoled burn in themes/set ups

It has been an issue for OLED type of screens. I dont wanna pay 400-500 dollars for a device that will to crap out after 1-2 years of daily use. For the people whos aware of this issue, post your screen set ups, amoled-friendly themes, etc.
I read somewhere that the longest lasting subpixel color of amoled screens is red and green(or in between), blue and purple(or in between) have the least life. So in other words, Android ICS(with its blue theme) in general is not amoled-friendly. Android also has static system status bar that could cause burn-ins over time.

I am curious myself. I was told that blue is the worst on battery as well but I haven't found anything to confirm or refute this

no, but I doubt anyone would buy it if they knew it had screen burn-ins

I've never seen anyone with amoled burn in.

[Q] How do I adjust the brightness in Moboot?

Hi. I'm a relatively new Touchpad owner, and I've settled on CN Butta as my daily Android ROM, but I also use WebOS quite a bit. I have a lot to learn, but I'm (slightly) less stupid than I was, and getting less and less stupid every day. Unfortunately, my stupidity is getting in the way of fixing a minor problem. When I installed CN Butta, it set a default Moboot screen that is really really bright, like way brighter than the Touchpad ever is when it's running Android or WebOS. I removed the screen with ClassicNerd's Moboot cleaner zip, but when I updated his ROM today, the super-bright screen came back. How can I adjust the brightness on Moboot so it doesn't come up so bright?
I thought about posting this in the CN Butta thread, but that's in the developer section, and I am still WAY too stupid to post there, and this is a question anyways. I hope I am doing this right and not pissing anyone off. Thanks for your time in reading.

But seeing as its only there for a few seconds what does it matter?

It matters when you're in bed in a dark room, and a brilliant flash of light disturbs the person trying to sleep next to you. I'll look into the themes, I was just hoping there was a way I could lower the brightness without having to change the theme every time I update my ROM, since this particular ROM changes it back to brilliance mode every update.

Hmmm... dunno what to tell you but my Moboot theme hasn't changed since I flashed the one I found and liked

Suggestion? Perhaps you could turn the device face down during initial bootup? So as not to disturb the person next to you trying to sleep?
Also if brightness is a concern for you during the night while the person next to you is trying to sleep. You may want to consider installing Chainfire3D, it has an excellent option for Nightmode use. I use it regularly at night. Also by the same developer there is an app called CF Lumen. It's similar as the Nightmode with Chainfire but with more lighting options.

Don't think it works outside of Android. Won't have any effect until it boots

App to run Moto X in grayscale to save battery like GS5?

Is it possible for an app to run the phone in grayscale?

I am very interested in this too. To be honest, I'm surprised nobody thought to do this for the Moto X's active display in the first place. :silly:

I would love a feature like that! My battery is pretty miserable on my moto x (huge android OS drain). Don't know if it's me always be in poor reception areas or what but not cool.

I don't know/think there is an app to do exact the same thing, but you could try an screen dimmer app, like screen dimmer or screen filter

Probably your problem isn't the screen if android OS is eating your battery

Android os gets bigger the more services you have enabled. Cut out some services you don't need running all the time and it will lower. Guaranteed.

Can you list an app that would make the screen black and another color or something that is usable to reduce battery life? If it can be done without root that would be very helpful :fingers-crossed:

My android os usage was really high when I was stock then I unlocked the bootloader and without changing the ROM or kernel and now its a non issue usually staying at around 7-10%
Maybe that means a factory reset would help for that? Help this helps and sorry if its off topic

I've actually looked in to this a little. The ideal scenario would be to run everything in "greenscale" as green takes the least power on amoled displays, I believe.
I was sad when I learned that the "Greenify" app wasn't what I wanted it to be...lol

Well there are a couple apps to add a colored tint to the screen.

So this is something the Galaxy S5 does? ive seen some of the phones that have the e-ink on one side, regular display on the other.. I would be very interested in that!

I use an app called "Color Wallpaper" to set a dark or black wallpaper color which helps save battery on the OLED screen.

I set my background to solid black. I just wish an app could change the color scale. I had a ROM one time that allowed it to all be changed to red, blue, or green. It would only use those colors. I think it was a ROM for an Evo 4G that was baked into it, but I don't remember.

Thats not normal. I have excellent battery life, have you tried doing a factory reset?

After hunting around some I disabled touchless control and it made a huge difference. It was eating all sorts of power and creating lots of wakelocks in the background. I still barely can make it through a day but at least it isn't dead by lunch. I may try a factory reset once the at&t 4.4.2 is out for download.

Found an app that can change everything to grayscale (or green, red, blue, salmon)! It's called CF.lumen

SOS Launcher
I just started trying this app for when I am camping and need extreme battery life, SOS Launcher

the idea is similar to what you described, just make sure you reboot after setting it up.

[Q] Inverted colors, no WiFi and broken boot animation

Hey guys, I've just very recently flashed a stock Rom onto my Moto X due to some problems. Unfortunately, when I booted up the phone, the boot animation is all messed up, there are large black rectangles on the screen in a pattern and then the circle dome is no more, just a bunch of coloured lines.
That was all right I guess but when the phone finally booted up completely, the colours are all inverted apart from the blacks and whites. I also can't turn WiFi on. As soon as I click it to turn it on, it just instantly reverts back to off
I don't know how to fix it and I thought maybe it was the stock Rom but I flashed back to recovery again through Moto X Toolkit but it was all just the same again. I've also tried to factory reset to no avail. Any help would be great as I was planning to give it to my little brother.
Thanks guys!

DPI Problems and unlocked bootloader annoying screen

I tried using easy dpi changer and texdroider and no matter what DPI i change to, my screen gets no effect. only apps and everything but my home screens. is there a way that my home screens could get smaller so i can add more icons. i used to do it this way on my nexus 5
Also, i had a question about the nagging screen after unlocking my bootloader. i tried searching but i see there is no work around yet. does this thing annoy guys as much as me? lol

The news (I looked into it) isn't that great. It's a part of the bootloader code itself, lives in a file called boot.c (somewhere along this path $source/bootable/bootloader/../../*/boot.c) and although it "could" be changed inside the file, there are many checks in that file, so it's not trivial. Then a full compile of the ROM (or at least the bootloader since it's a "bootable" ) which for me, is a lengthy process, and you have a dodgy bootloader that could easily put an end to your booting days (for awhile), so it's not clear to me that this is worthwhile unless you're putting out a custom ROM, give a damn, and want to make that part of the upkeep for your ROM.
I figure that when AOSP ROMs show up, (I think it took over 2 months after oneplus 3 came out for cm13 to come along), then that would be a good time to rethink it. I've hit the point where I just do as the message says and skip it by hitting the power button once. ;

I ended up somehow making my screen smaller but had to change DPI to 400. Anything less and it wouldn't work. I prefer 360 but 400 not bad on 5.5" screen.
Yea I just click the power button until it boots lol.
Can't wait for a nougat release for the 3T. I'm anxious for it.

It might be worth asking anyone coming along to do ROM development in the near future if they wouldn't mind modifying that file I mentioned, I think ./bootable/bootloader/*/*/boot.c to dump the text & the 5 second delay. If you're rolling your own, it's not a big deal. I'd also go along with waiting for nougat. I can't really see anyone starting development (aside from the one or two that are already out there) prior to nougat. There is a 3t 14.1 Cm in the works, but not sure when it'll show up here in the dev section.

In You want more icons on Homescreen, just take a different launcher.. For example Nova

Just a quick reminder about the bootloader: It is closed source (although based on the open source base you see in your rom tree), managed and singed by OnePlus so only they can change it. It also is not built when you build a rom, and lives on a seperate partition that is not touched when you do anything reasonable to your phone.
Sorry but you won't get rid of it!

OH yeah! Of course. I must have had a stroke or something .. ;; ) Not sure how I made that transposition. I've been away from Android development way too long. Thanks for setting that straight. Fortunately for everyone I never went ahead with my idiotic scheme. I may have just been so happy to get the 3.5.3 ROM build working that I got power-crazy. Jeez.
Many thanks.
