RGB or other advanced display control apk (mod) - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Do you guys think, there will be some apk which will allow for basic calibration, settings r g b profiles? would it be too hard with Android L since is new and all that stuff?
I want to tone down the red/green on my Nexus 6, because they seem to be a bit too strong.

So... You have a Nexus 6 already.... Or you're just saying this because it has a AMOLED display? Are better yet has an reviewer said so?

I don't but i'm sure the red will be overblown, i already saw some compassion with other IPS panels.

Be patient. I am sure someone will have a custom settings mod for display control. I am more than sure the first few custom kernels for the N6 will have colour calibration/settings added on board.
In the end with the AMOLED display, its going to look absolutely beautiful compared to the IPS on my N4!

What's The Matter With the Nexus's LCD ?!?!

My last cell phone (touch pro2) has a great combination of color (Live & Warm) (maybe because of it's great lcd) which everyone who see the phone for the first time just appriciate the great Lcd that the phone have, BUT for nexus one it's completely difference, it's too far away from Pro2 LCD, if u consider this two lcd in the papers u are going to compare Amoled (nexus) with TFT (Pro2) & 16m color (nexus) with 65k (pro2), is this two comparable in the papers ? ofcourse no, LCD of Nexus one is far far better than Pro2 BUT IN REALATY i just see the opposite..!
Is there a way to change color to be more live and warm ??
AND For Nexus one's Speakers, it has very very good quality but very very low volume, how can i increase the volume ???
Thank u.
Yes, see CM settings in the settings window.
Maybe you can post screen shots or pictures of this. I'm very interested. Haaha

what's is CM setting, i couldn't find it in my setting...
You must not have a cyanogen based rom then. Look in the dev section, I think there is a standalone in there.

s-amoled color saturation

Hi.
I was wondering (and when I say this I mean I started to play Modern Combat 2 and my eyes started bleeding from all that burning green), if it is possible to install a custom display driver on the galaxy S to reduce the saturation of colors. Don't get me wrong, I love the strong contrast but the saturation is just waaaay to much, beyond anything realistic.
I saw the voodoo app that can tweak the colors of the display, however it cannot do anything about the powerfull colors.
try galaxy tuner
Finally!!!!! Thanks!
Had to set both values to 15 for it to look like my friends' galaxy s color
Now it looks much better
Well I did try it, but It's not the color balance that's the problem, it's the saturation. I think there should be an app that normalizes the value between r, g & b pixels so on a certain color the difference is x % less that what the application sends to the driver, yet retaining the average value.
Or something, I don't know exactly how it should work but I figured out it would be like this.
Thing is everything looks like a cartoon with the drfault settings, compare a game from iphone with same one on the galaxy. The difference is huge, and not in a good way for galaxy. I think maybe samsung exagerated in the implementation of the displaye so people were amazed by the vivid colors, but for me (as a photographer & visual artist) is just bad.
For who is interested I've done an App called "ColorModeChanger" to correct saturation and change color values as you want.
Please Google for it or join my Google+ Community at: https://plus.google.com/communities/115325924116611951925
Cyanogenmod is the solution
i'm sure cyanogenmod have those screen adjustements!!! just search

[Q] SGNote unnatural colors?

Since I can't see an SGNote in a store yet, curious if the SAMOLED's less than natural colors ever bothers you, they seem to bother me on the lower resolution SAMOLED phones but a bit less on the same res but lower pixel density Tab 10.1 screen (however I prefer Transformer's IPS for a tablet)? -Thx
P.S. - I've heard mention in video reviews that the SGNote does have better color calibration than its other SAMOLED's handhelds.
http://www.mobiletechreview.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Number=41813
"Blacks are extremely deep and colors are richer than life, which is typical of Samsung's Super AMOLED display technology. For this high end phone, Samsung spent some time calibrating and tweaking it, and the blue color cast found on other Galaxy phones is at a minimum, and pure black images are pure black with no banding or light patches."

There are three color settings that are select able by the user. They go from very saturated to about normal.

I didn't know that, cool, I'll look into that, if anyone uploads a YouTube video I'd like to see if that shows up..-Thx
same as computer monitor
i was shocked at how different the colors where when i got my capitvate. unnatural is the only way to put it. took me a long time to get use to the pumped up color amoled screen. (certain colors are increased because that is ones your eyes see easier making the screen pop) so when i was thinking of buying the note i had read that samsung gave the owner the choice to change that pumped up look to a more natural scheme i was thrilled. the lower saturation of color feels more closely to regular lcds. when i hold the phone next to my high end computer monitor with the same picture they are very similar in hue and saturation. although sometimes when i am showing off the big screen phone to friends i switch to the standard amoled setting (because the colors pop) i usually choose the lcd type setting for everyday use. hope this helps.

It does help, thanks, how is that color setting changed?
P.S. - Even on my newer Samsung TVs, when someone with blue eyes comes on the screen they can look fluorescent fake giving it a sci-fi vibe that can look ridiculous!

Zedomax did it http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=RsmDvvckt6k#t=1096s but ideally still would like to see it in person. The higher res screen must help as the colors are not bothering me like they do on lower res SAMOLED screens. I'll check out the 720p SGNexus in person even though I don't think it has the SGNote 3 color settings ("Dynamic, Standard, Movie" in Settings->Display-Screen Mode) that provide more user control.
Still would also like to see the SGNote with other launchers+cool live wallpaper as I'm no fan of the stock TouchWiz look..it shouldn't be too difficult to make it look cooler than stock right?

[Q] Screen calibration - Amoled colors

Resource exists to calibrate the colors of the Moto X 2014 screen?
Leave the most accurate colors, such as white IPS Display. There is possibility? With which resource?
I thank for the help.
I am sure a future modified kernel will allow for color calibration.

Moto X never really got a whole lot of dev support like most Flagships so probably just no one cared to do it.
Sorry for reviving a thread, but I am quite interested in this subjust considering my screen has the yellow tint. I think out best hope is that faux already has a github branch opened for creating a kernel for our device which most likely will support screen calibration like his kernel for other devices, I also believe he has an app on the play store for doing so for devices that support it.
If you search for screen adjuster in the play store, you will see several apps that can adjust tint, white balance, etc. Not as good as if you were able to do at the kernel level, but...
Any developer interested in creating this resource?
The screen colors " Moto X " are horrible When I compare with other models: Galaxy S5, LG G2, Sony Z3 / Compact...

I use CF Lumen to fix the colors. Works pretty well. I adjusted the color temp so whites are actually white now.
But it is the same thing as a kernel with this feature?
Have you used Color Control in a Kernel on another smartphone? It works the same way with this CF Lumen application?

Wow. Good find! This is the ONLY app I have found that actually *decrease* RGB channel levels with respect to base levels. All other apps only increase levels. By increasing channels, you wind up removing those inky black on AMOLED screens. So, when your brightness levels increase, the blackness takes on the color of the increased color channel, which of course is bad.
I do question your method of removing the yellowish whites of the Moto X. The color temp adjuster slid all the way to the right at 6500 is essentially no filter at all, as its the default color temp. Moving it to the left warms up the white balance, but doesn't result in whiter whites. What I found to improve whiteness was to keep the white balance at 6500, but in the color channels, reduce both RED and GREEN channels to 0.949 and 0.937, respectively. I just keep these settings around the clock and don't make use of all the other filters.
So, this is the only app that I've found where you can maintain your inky blacks while actually *raising* the color temp, or at least raise BLUE levels with respect to the other 2 channels.

I misspoke, I didn't mean color temp. I adjusted the master filter, decreased red and green like you said you did. And same here, that setting stays permanently without anything else. It makes a HUGE difference, my screen is gorgeous now. I'm glad you found as much success with it as I did
Thanks @_MetalHead_ for mentioning CF Lumen. This works so much better than Screen Adjuster Pro (I had been using that until now).

Try CF Lumen. It works wonders.
CF.Lumen has the nasty habit of applying its filters twice when rotating the phone and on the recent-apps screen. So if I calibrate my screen to look just nice, I get a blue tint on those occasions. So I'm constantly reminded of this workaround solution.
I'd rather stick with the yellow tint, trying to get used to it and still hope for a custom kernel to adjust the colors on hardware level. But it looks like nobody is interested in developing for the Moto X 2014... :crying:

Weird, I don't have that issue at all.

It's not an issue, it's just how the app works.
Chainfire himself confirms it in his thread about CF.Lumen:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51827433&postcount=74
It might be less noticeable if your filter settings are very low.
Everybody talks about removing the yellow tint, but what about toning down the saturation? I find it ridiculously fake, the google music app and tapatalk app look so cartoony with the stock saturation, could I tone it down with cf lumen?

Which Screen Mode for display ?

Just curious which Screen Mode setting people prefer on the Display settings ? Is any one better on battery life or those mides don't effect battery ? Which mode really makes this awesome Note 5 show off it's screen best ?
AMOLED cinema seems to bring out the deepest and richest colors, and the purest white whites. Where Photo seems the most subdued and neutral colors.
Can we tweak the display like we can on Nexus or CM ROM's with kernel apps ?

Well i like cinema allot but im little worried about battery drain and/or oled life span not sure if it speeds it up in anyway or not i cant find an answer but if your not worried about either of those I'd pick cinema why would i want dull colors while i could have beautiful rich colors it just pops and really shows of what these screens can do i have a g4 as well and quantum display just seems to have more color and seems more attractive so ya show of that amoled let the colors burst every time you unlock the screen
