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.

Cyanogenmod is the solution
i'm sure cyanogenmod have those screen adjustements!!! just search
Hi every one..
I do a lot of searches for this type of icons sets.
I want any set of icons that drop soft shadow as iphone icons.
most of icons for android is coming with sharp shadow as edge or with no shadow.
if there is any way or modification in the android system should to change to enhance the softness of icon shadow, that will erase big imagination of iphone shape.
talking about android system, is there any way to enhance the FPS of complete system to be 60fps for example?
Dev's, any pro engineer can get the point of FPS?
As I thought, this is over our developers,
Apple with lower power in hardware, but they play it very good in software because of this frame rate game, and for that they won the war of smooth movement between applications and in app designing, against any competitor company including Google, Microsoft..
8 days of posting this, it back with no one replay,
I'm discussed of you our Dev's.
I love Android more than any OS,
I hope one can reach to apple's developers imagination level and powerful to take android to new high level of smoothy movement.
I tried looking around, but all i found was questions about sweaty problems lol Any of you guys or girls know exactly how the gear s heart rate function works? I want to use the S in conjuction with the endomondo app to keep track of a true number of calories burned using the heart rate and such while lifting weights. I sure hope it's not some weird; stay still to get the number and then carry on with your business kinda thing. Thanks in advance!
I lift with mine. It senses heart rate better than the Gear Fit while sweaty so that's good. You can tag your heart rate through the new S Health app. But lifting is not integrated with S Health as an activity, which I do not understand. You're better off with a dedicated HRM.
This is more for running and biking.
Thanks, that helps a lot. Clicky :good: for u
If you're colorblind, please disregard this thread. Rate this thread to express how you deem the color saturation and accuracy of the LG Nexus 5X's display. A higher rating indicates that you think that color accuracy is very high and saturation is excellent.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Colors are a bit dull
Colours pop more more than the N5 and they seem fairly accurate.
Fairly accurate but a bit warm. Some people might like it though, I prefer a sharp white but it's good on the eye anyway.
Good color representation and enough color punch
I am satisfied with the color saturation and accuracy. I wouldn't want the color to be more saturated compared to amoled screen. The screen on my 5X is relaxing, there is no pressure/strain to the eyes(auto brightness is on) it just feels right!
According to Anandtech the colors and white point are spot on as far accuracy goes...

Years of over saturated colors and much too blue white points have conditioned us to think that displays should look like that
Colors seem accurate, EXCEPT for when viewing videos. Colors seem extremely muted when in a video, for instance in youtube, you might see a screenshot of a video when choosing what video to watch, but if you click it and get to the same scene, the colors will be muted in video.

I'm seeing similar behaviour. Gamma looks out of whack in youtube. Blacks are totally washed out. Everything looks overexposed. Not sure if it's a software/driver issue. The display looks great otherwise. Need to try out some other video apps (kodi, mxplayer etc.) to confirm.
Edit: It is indeed a software issue. It's the difference between 16-235 vs 0-255. See this thread for more details https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus6P/comments/3r9ftg/defective_6p_screen_vs_normal/

The youtube test fails on my n5x, but not on my n5
I'm pretty happy with it. Improved compared to the Nexus 5(which was good too). Some owners have reported a very warm/yellowish screen but luckily I'm not having that issue. I rated it a 4/5 for saturation and accuracy which is as good as possible for a LCD.
EDIT: So I just did a side by side comparison between my Nexus 5 and Nexus 5X. Side by side the Nexus 5X is noticeably warmer but it's not overly warm and honestly, coming from someone who prefers displays on the cooler side because they look more life like, I actually would give the slight edge to the Nexus 5X. But like I said that is only side by side. With each phone on its own I can't really tell either one being too warm or too cool. As far as saturation goes the Nexus 5X is better. The colors on the Nexus 5 were noticeably more washed out compared to the Nexus 5X(although not that bad). I really see it in the red of the Chrome icon, the green of the Hangouts icon and the blue of the Facebook icon. It's still not AMOLED colors but closer than the Nexus 5.

Does anyone know if any of the custom ROMs fix this issue? I don't see it mentioned as a feature in any of the first posts of the ROMs posted in this forum...

No, but this is a kernel bug. Someone identified the commit in the reddit thread. So you wouldn't even need an entire ROM for a fix. A kernel fix should do it. I don't have enough posts to post in the kernel forums, but you should post in the elementalx kernel thread. The dev seems to be active in developing kernels for all the nexus phones.

Nexus 5 has a white point of just over 7000k, the 5X is almost bang on 6500k.
Like many have said, we are just used to seeing "cooler" colours in our phones. Nexus 5X is really accurate as far as colours go.

That is true though some 5x are arriving with extreme yellow tints which make them look like 5000k or even warmer. Anyone who gets one of these would be 100% correct in saying the device is too yellow, unfortunately since most people are so used to cold blue screens they might not even be able to tell which they received as compared to their old device even a proper 5x panel will probably look warm.
For example this was a replacement 5x device I received on the right which went straight back to Google.

Im fairly certain its addressed by kernels not roms... Personally i use Flar2's elemental kernel and have since the Original N5. With his app (which im happy to support) you have full colour controls including gamma. Which you can flash over stock or custom rom depending on your preference his kernel is in the Original Development section.
Nice colours
My last phone (lg g2) was ruining my eyes. Too cool blue with strong contrast. Overtime a screen with false colors and contrast can ruin your vision - making the real world seem dull.
The Nexus 5X is correct and easier on the eyes.
Well, it seems to me that default color is pumped, like vivid, almost neonic a bit and warm. Which is good I guess for the phone. Im not planning to do any color balancing and adjustments on my phone, I would use the PC for that kind of work of course.
Unbelievable nice!
Is it possible to get the hiking trackback feature that is for the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro on a regular Galaxy Watch 5?
It should be possible due to both swatches are prety the same (except at battery level) speaking about hardware, I understand that with some prots similar to the ECG and blood pressure hacks should be possible but we depend of somebody with the knowledge to do it.
For me it will be a great news if somebody achieve this target ;-)
Thanks
Any news about that? any advance with it will count with my eternal gratitude ;-)
