Hi guys.
everyone knows the contrast and colors on z1 are really low and colors are washed out.
I have a ASUS MeMo pad HD7.the tablet has an app which edits contrast and color temp and saturation by the name of splendid.
is there any app like that which can be used on z1 or can it be ported from that to z1?

The new 4.4.2 KitKat update for the Xperia Z1 (14.3.A.0.681) includes a "white balance" option in the display settings. This will probably fulfill your needs.

thanks for your reply. but that feature only changes the temperature.but this feature I say, enhances the vividness,color saturation,contrast,hue and more..it works with colors.enhances them perfect.but the white balance as of its name,only focuses on the white balance and nothing more

In that case there's one option left I believe, and it's on available if you have an unlocked bootloader. Recently @DooMLoRD managed to get LCD Colour Control working on the Xperia Z1. You'll have to flash his kernel though which can be found here.
I'm not sure if this will (eventually?) offer the options you want but these are the only 2 screen colour management tweaks there are at the moment.

As the developer stated:
use FauxClock or similar app to control this feature

The developer of "Pimp My Z1" is also looking into adding this functionality I believe. Other than that, just use Google to find an app that is able to adjust it.

The way you wrote this I don't think many people will even read what you actually wrote.... at least I didn't even bother.
If you have something to say why not stick to the grammatical rules like only capitols on the first word of a sentence unless it's a name or something...
lol, i gave up reading after about the third word.
I assume this is a troll post, as thats a crazy amount effort to goto to make something unreadable.
There is something called full stops and New lines dude.
Did you try the white balance apk that was ported to XZ from xzl?

If you are comparing AMOLED to LCD, you will never get the same godawful, ugly, inaccurate colors as Samsung AMOLED. Also, the contrast won't be the same. Different screen technologies.

Hi all, just joined the forums and this is my first post.
Whilst the OP is written terribly, his point remains. This is an issue on the Z.
I almost want to take my V back from my girlfriend because of this!
Any update with regards to adjusting/adjustments made to the contrast and colour accuracy?
Thank you

Thank you for the quick reply! But now please excuse me inexperience.
Is it an official update, or do I need to download it?
Like I said, I'm new to the forums, which in my case is new to Android as well. I know of custom roms, firmware, kernels etc, but have no idea how to do it.

Download other clock widgets from the app store, long press on the lockscreen clock - swipe up to delete - and long press again to choose the widget you prefer.

I've never been so glad to be on the old version of Android. Lollipop is the first update that seemed to take away more useful features than it added.

Agreed, but material design is a bit overrated to me. The colors almost look to cartoon-like and I feel like a simple theme could have been applied to kitkat to give us the same look.
Anyway, that's the great thing about Android. If you don't like it, you can always change it.

Will marshmallow bring back good old and the best Z3 Particle Effects same like Kitkat??
Almost all users miss it.
Lollipop only allows it on stock xperia live wallpapers but Kitkat allowed it on any wallpaper applied.
I want somebody to convey this to sony.

Oh god... I HATED those particles, they always made me feel the animations on the phone are slow and sluggish. This should be optional, yes, but not applied to every wallpaper.

I don't know if someone has tried calibrating color using the wonderful app flar has made for us.. I am sharing 2-3 settings that make this display epic.. Try and share ur own if you have any..
Tested these on CM based ad well as oos based roms.. And also miui 8 as Ex kernel works solid with miui8..
Share your settings let's see where can we reach..
PS: These settings look good to my eyes.. You might have a different liking altogether..
These have changed using ex kernel manager.. In the graphics section.. Bottom most tab called advance color.
Update: These can be applied in Mono kernel and Blue Spark as well. Using Kernel Auditor and/Or Kcal tuner ..!!
Cheers..!

If you're fine with a separate app, the Color Control by savoca (the developer of KCAL / this kernel-level color control we're using) also works, download it here.

Yep, Mono supports KCAL settings much like ElementalX, there's no difference in the implementation of it, so all settings is guaranteed to be the same.
