Hello,
I just purchased a Nexus 6 and am curious what options there may be to change the color saturation settings. I've already flashed CM12 and have been playing around with the Live Display settings, but they don't seem to help. I am able to change the color temperature and the RGB values, but the colors still appear to be overly saturated in my opinion. I'm interested in a way to adjust them so they are closer to the Professional Photo mode on Samsung's recent devices, or the iPhone. Is there a software tweak or ROM that would allow me to do this or is there a hardware limitation that would prevent this?
Thank you!

Never mind, I found the answer! KCAL Color Calibration can do this.

I hate the dynamic contrast on this phone. To the point im thinking of returning it to get another phone. I was reading this review
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6747/htc-one-review/10
and it leads me to believe that it is possible somehow. "The HTC One includes a dynamic contrast function which can’t easily be disabled, as there’s no option in the display settings for it."
Does anyone know if theres a mod to do this or how I could do it? Maybe theres a rom that allows this? Its driving me crazy the way the backlight adjusts constantly.

Errm do you mean auto brightness? As dynamic contrast really isn't going to be noticeable enough to annoy anybody, as proven with TV's.
Try just setting brightness to 1/3 of the slider.

No I don't mean auto brightness. I would never use dynamic contrast on a tv. It's terrible and I don't know how anyone can not notice it.

Dynamics contrast only affects pure black scenes and it is not really noticeable during a normal TV show. Apart from us lot most wouldn't notice it, but on this phone I can't notice It at all and it would be linked to auto brightness so that it tries to keep up a consistent experience. Try sticking a constant brightness and see if it's better

I am interested in the Dynamic contrast. I use 4 24in HP monitors at work and I actually am in the 5% of people who enjoy having it lol

Hi everyone!
I am a happy owner of AtrixHD,but two things I do not like:
1.Color boost technology of display.Such colors are acceptable for gaming,web browsing e.t.c.,but playing video and watching foto give very unreal colors,oversaturated,especialy pink(red).Definetly,there is no color adjustment in stock roms.Is there any chance to adjust colors(especially their saturation) within the settings of any custom rom or kernel which are discussed in development section?
2.In low light conditions(for example:small room with one window in cloudy day)my stock camera app is givng a spot with more pink color in the center of display,same spot appears on foto.All other camera apps from google play have the same spot.With normal light conditions everythig is ok.Does anyone has the same?Is it a hardware or software issue?
Thanks in advance for all replies,this i s a great forum.Sorry for my English,I am from Ukraine,Eastern Europe.

I know that ParanoidAndorid (not ours, OFFICIAL PA) uses custom color tweaks in their Nexus kernels. There might be a way to something similar for us, but I've never looked into it nor would I know where to start. Defy CM's were\are able to run color filters via software, not what you're looking for, but it does mean that its possible to tweak the display levels via software.
I've never had the pink spot issue, not in low light or good light. My low lights are just washy and kinda crappy, but no spots. HDR does much better in low light, sucks it doesn't work on 4.2 . HDR does look a bit oversaturated so you might not like it. Might be HW, might not be -- can't really say with any certainty.
Does anyone find the fix for the over saturated Moto-X amoled screen?
Open this link from your browser in your PC and compare it with your mobile browser: #0099cc Color Hex #09C
Even though I understand that many people prefer the "more vibrant" color, my biggest problem is that these colors are fake.
They are not representing the actual color.
I have tried to use app like "Screen Adjuster" and "Filter Your Screen", but they merely superimposed another color filter to the existing color instead of fixing the original screen settings.
Please help, Thank you,

It's the nature of AMOLED screens.
I use an app called Lux to help mitigate this a little as it allows more customization of the backlight than stock.

I have tried Lux, and I dont seem to be able to 'correct' the color.
Do you mind share your settings info? Thanks

It doesn't correct anything, just allows for finer control of the backlight depending on lighting conditions - making the colors seem less vivid.
Other than experimenting with the backlight level, the only customization I chose was selecting the "fluourescent" color temp in night mode.
Both iOS and Android have this feature for visual impaired users.
All it does is to invert the screen colors in a "global" level.
I really miss it in Windows Phone and I think that a lot of other visual impaired people decline buying a WP to get a iOS or Android device.
Does anyone know if there's an app for that?
I would like to know if you guys can help me with that. I'm willing to hire a developer to create a app if necessary, because the phone without the color inversion app is just a really nice brick ( :
Its under settings/ease of access/high contrast.
not quite there...

I know about the High Contrast feature, but there are two problems:
1 - It only change the home screen and a few apps. For example: If I'm using Whatsapp, it will not be afected by te high contrast
2 - It doesn't invert the colors, it only uses a different color scheme. For people like me, the high contrast with the screen brightness it's only worst.
So the bottom line is: I really need a "invert colors" app.
Hello everyone,so yesterday i recieved my new S20FE from my service provider. At first glance it seems to be a decent device. Anyway,while setting up the phone,i found that the "white balance" controls under the display settings,dont appear to be changing any colour aspects of my screen at all. No matter how i adjust the Red,Green and Blue control sliders,the the screen remains exactly the same.
Am i doing something wrong,or have i missed something? When compared to my Sony Xperia XZ2 which also has white balance controls that actually work,i may add. The Samsungs screen appears very dull and the whites are more of a cream tone than actual white,which frustrates me. Has anyone else had issues with the colour adjustment on their S20FE and is there a way to get my whites from cream to actual white?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
@Trace.Oneil I have the 5G snapdragon version and tested Vivid screen mode today. it was so garish that had to try adjusting the RGB values underneath. that too made ZERO DIFFERENCE on my phone.
I quickly went back to natural.
PS, I can't remember much about it but I've heard there's a 3rd screen mode that's hidden and can be activated with ADB. maybe look that up.

Thanks,i actually found that online and gave it a try. Although there are some differences between the modes,the RGB sliders still dont work with any of them so you cant fine-tune your screen to your preferred colour settings which is a total waste. Why even include it in the software build if it does'nt work.
I was wondering if the other modes take too much power and that's why they were hidden.
maybe that could apply to the slider ?

I doubt it would be a power issue. The mode to me that is the most intense with colour,is Vivid and that is not hidden. I think Samsung forgot about the RGB settings to be honest,and that is probably why they dont work.
