[Q] Screen Enhancement tools?

I've been looking up and down the forums and would like to ask here just in-case someone knows...
The LG Optimus 4X, has a beautifully sharp screen with fantastic viewing angles. The only true let down is the colors/Vibrancy of the screen. Does anyone know of a tool or a kernel we could use to adjust the screen profile to our tastes. I would like the colors bulging out of the screen.
I have used Advanced Color & Gamma Control from the Play store but have had no luck. The same can be said for Screen Adjuster and Filter Your Screen. I haven't yet tried the Eternity kernel, as it really isn't up-to scratch for me just yet.
Any Suggestions guys? :good:

Are there any kernels that add KCAL support only?

I want to keep the kernel I already have with cm13, but I also want KCAL drivers to adjust the screen colors. Is there a stand alone mod or anything like that?

Why haven't any ROM developers added DCI_P3 Calibration for their ROM's?

I've been reading here and there, and I've come upon that thread where you can enable DCI_P3 calibration for your display on your OP3T, only on OOS thou.
Why isn't it supported on any ROM where the Display Model doesn't even turn up, and why haven't any ROM Devs implemented it?
Cheers!
because not all 3/3T support dci-p3 color scheme ..
Only S6E3FA5 panel ID that supporting dci-p3

It's a simple thing to have the ROM detect the ID of the Panel, and then have ROM to choose whether to show the option in Calibration Settings under Settings.

If you think simple enough, so make yourself...
It's added through the kernel not the ROM, Ex and Blu spark both have it in OOS and custom kernels. Lineage also have it in their kernels too.
It works really well in LineageOS, I like the not so over saturated coloring in this mode, it's really nice to the eyes.
A Magisk module is available for it. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72842349&postcount=11
@thes3usa DCI_P3 color profile is available in official Resurrrection Remix rom for OP3T
You can with this one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...ment/rom-zenity-resurrection-remix-n-t3551384
It's in Live Display settings. Don't change the kernel though, or you won't have the option anymore.
Installed the Aug.31 build of Lineage on my 3T yesterday, and it's an option there in Live Display settings too. There also seems a bug where the selected colour profile reverts to default every time you turn the screen off and on though :/
Apparantly the dci-p3 should be available using Vertex OS. But since i dont have the supported panel(wierd, since i bougth it in June 2017, so probably didnt get the newer display).. But it should be possible to change even on the old display ?
EDIT:
I found out that i have the correct display which ends on a5, so it should be able. But cannot find the necessary files in the sys/devices/virtual/graphics/fb0 folder....

Screen Burn-in fixes for all ROMs

So my Mi5 has a severe screen burn-in (image retention, ghosting, or whatever you wanna call it) and I've been looking for solutions for sometime, for all the ROMs.
So I suppose this thread will be useful to you guys too.
** The permanent solution is to replace the display **
** I will be not responsible for any damages caused to your handset by flashing custom ROMs and/or custom kernels or by any other means. I didn't develop any of these nor I have any affiliation with them. This is just a guide. Try these at your own risk. **
Solution 1 - Live display feature in LineageOS
This is the easiest and hassle free solution. Just flash LineageOS and use the Live display feature and adjust the RGB values to 90.
LOS 14.1
LOS 15.1
Solution 2 - KCAL
This is a free colour correction tool developed by @savoca.
To use this you must have a supported kernel & root. This supports AOSP ROMs (but didn't try it on every ROM though ...)
Just install the apk grant access , turn on 'colour service' & 'set on boot' options. Then adjust the RGB values to 220-230 (more or less depending on the severity of your burn-in) and save the changes.
KCAL official XDA thread
Solution 3 - Colour Changer Pro
This is a paid app. but it's the only app that I found which supports MIUI with stock kernel. It also requires root.
select a custom profile and adjust the RGB values to 220-230 (more or less depending on the severity of your burn-in) and turn on the profile.
Only problem that I found is that if you install a new app it resets the values to default so you have to activate it again.
The free version give you pro features for a few days so you can try it before you buy it.(adjusting RGB requires pro version)
Get it on google play
** I didn't test the effect on battery life when using KCAL and Colour Changer Pro but according to my experience they are very insignificant **
I hope this will be helpful to you guys as burn-ins are a widespread feature ( ugh ! .. sorry, problem) in mi5 devices.

Question Missing "Dim Screen" feature of Android 12 in MIUI 13

Hi everyone,
Android 12 introduced a feature called "Dim Screen" which allows you to further reduce your brightness than lowest possible on brightness slider, but it is missing from MIUI 13.0.4.0 Global Update for RN10 plus. Is there a way to access this feature. I'm asking because apps like Night Screen or Night Owl, which I used to rely on before dont work on Android 12. You cannot interact with UI if any app is "displaying over other apps". I really need much lower brightness at night and its became a hassle.
Anyone knows the solution?
If you're rooted, you can use cf.Lumen on the A12 MIUI ROM. It doesn't seem to have any issues with displaying over other apps, and it's a great app, one of the best of this kind, because it doesn't just put an overlay on the screen, it directly affects color channels.
Without root, I think I remember Twilight causing no issues like that on A12.
I doubt the dimming feature is accessible in MIUI, given that MIUI handles brightness quite differently.
where can i find it the dim screen feature? edit:i didn't read carefuly

In ancient looks like this:
Same here. On the Xiaomi 12X the extra dim feature is not avaiable. Latest global 13.02
Download the apps called MIUI downloader from Playstore, there was a tab called hid. Features and you will find the extra dim feature there.
Just activate it and it will be shown in control center toggle also
