I saw someone who did a really indepth color calibration for his Nexus 6, i cannot find the thread anywhere...help?
(note: I am color blind, so calibrating the colors to be perfect for normal eyes helps me out more than you can ever imagine)
(note 2: no, the color blind options do not help me out, my eyes are abnormally color blind, and i am used to not compensating for it, so the compensation screws me up worse)
It's in the lean kernel thread. Do not know how to add the link from the XDA app. For a cooler/more blue screen, its 237,235,255
for anyone else who is looking here is the link
Best RGB setting
Is it possible to get the screen to look like the Note 4s? (Note 4 is "Cooler" as opposed to the "warmer" N6.)
Here is a youtube video showing the comparisons of both displays. Really good comparison IMHO. Google Nexus 6 vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4
I do prefer the Note 4s. This is almost a deal breaker for me to get the N6 over the Note 4.
But I really want to like the N6... Dual speakers,6inches,stock android,small bezels...

With leankernel or any kernel supporting color control you can set colors to cooler 7400k

I wish i could see what it looks like when tweaked to match the Note 4s. Even better... Side by side with a Note 4.
I dont really understand about the 7000k vs 7400k etc... But if they could make the Nexus 6 look better like the Note 4s then why isnt it set to 7400k in the first place?

Certain panels run warmer or cooler by default. That's just how it is. Some people prefer warmer panels. I think the nexus 6 panel is pretty neutral out of the box but i run mine on the cooler side anyway.

Does it look exactly like the Note 4 from your experience? Like have you seen it in store and compared it? I think the brightness is lower on the N6 though...
No I haven't done a direct comparison with the Note 4. I don't have or want that phone so I have no need to compare them.
Do you mind taking some pics/vids before and after from default to cooler?
I wrote a wall of text after but I'm on my phone and somehow it got lost :/
Anyways basically I wanted to say that it might help more people who are on the fence about this display and it may shed some light on the positives of the screen vs the other flagship competitor the Note 4.
Ive searched all over the web and I've yet to see anything comparing the different settings.

I have both. Note 4 all the way, looks nicer than nexus 6 and more premium. The screen is way brighter than nexus 6 and no one can deny that and sharper. If the time goes back 1 month would never by a nexus 6. Also don't get me wrong nexus is a good device overall you just need some sort of work around to get it how you want it. Note 4 is good out of the box.

But if you tweak it, doesn't it look much better and is it slightly on par with the Note 4? I know the brightness is low on the N6 but as long as it's a little brighter than my Note 2 I'm OK with that. And they both have the same resolution, is that why the Note 4 is sharper because of its smaller display?
I really like everything about the Nexus 6 but the Note 4s display blew me away.
Is the only way to change the color settings via a custom kernel? I'm happy with stock kernel, but would live to tweak my colors a bit. Thanks

Thanks for the answer.
I hope this is not heresy, but after playing with a few different kernels on my N5, for me it just became a)an obsession and b)a hassle. However, I did like the tools to do the display color changes. I will wait for the CM official rom or maybe play with one of the kernels available. It would be nice to have the stock kernel with only the color capabilities, but I suppose if you mod a kernel, you might as well put in additional features. And yeah I know its easy enough to flash a custom kernel and go back to stock, just my laziness.

There's a new app "Calibrated Photo Viewer" on Play Store which is a gallery viewer with pre-calibrated color and gamma corrections for the Nexus 6. Both sRGB and Adobe RGB color spaces are supported.

The Note 5 will never have AOSP because Samsung isnt releasing the Exynos code. So you'll always be doomed to slow touchwiz.
Note 5 going through the recent tabs, stuttering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33pqdsdEqqc&feature=youtu.be&t=31
Note 4 on Marshmellow/CM13, going through the recent tabs, damn fluently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMFGahR-Nr8
That's how Touchwiz ruins beautiful hardware. Who cares about benchmarks, it's all about user experience. And that just s*cks with Touchwiz.

Can you shoot a video ? I used this app, it's really simple: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hecorat.screenrecorder.free
Just put it at 60 hz because that's your screens refresh rate (otherwise it will introduce recording stuttering). Thanks !

Then maybe YOU can shoot that video ? Somehow people here state how fluid the Note4 exynos on Touchwiz it is but dont want to actually show it.
It takes literally only a few minutes of your time.

my note edge is snapdragon and yes there is just no scrolling lag in recents but there was in 5.0. btw i believe you are understanding that video wrong there is no stutter in recents but there is sttuter in apps like twitter and i can say scrolling in s6 edge is bad aswell but somehow note 4 scrolling is pretty smooth i just have no idea how. again stutter isnt in recents but in apps.

do it since im on mobile data and man no1 really cares you gonna buy note5 or not lol. i wont either unless my company buys me a free one snapdragon was dead this year and if it will be dead next year aswell no1 will care how bad touchwiz is and just go for exynos again. record a video for multitasking aswell if you want i can confirm s6 edge and note5 sucks in multitasking and cm note4 will blow them. so it will be good motivation for yourself also and you can pass note6 too maybe.
about note5 and s6:
apps stutter:YES
Multitasking sucks:YES
Themes make phone laggy:YES
recent apps lag:NOPE

In which ways are the apps laggy? (edit: noticed you said themes so ignore this) Cannot say I notice any "lag" apart from the occasional stutter on my n910c (wanamlite's rom and googy_anas' 2.0 kernel (default settings (gentle_fair_sleepers off))). Have you checked the Profile GPU rendering graphs? I usually see stutters in most apps when loading content in the background when scrolling, but should be pretty smooth (60fps) almost 99% of the time. No wonder the scrolling is so slow on iOS.

The screen recording app makes the phone stutter like crazy so I cannot shoot a video that would show off how smooth it really is. Maybe that's why the note 5 appears to lag in the video? I can use an external camera to shoot me scrolling through my opened apps, but wouldn't want to bother. But if you require proof I'll be happy to provide it.

I must stand corrected ! I just installed TW 5.1.1 on my note 4 (I hadnt even bothered, yes I hate touchwiz THAT much). And you were right, the recent app screen is WAY better than in 5.0. Maybe the recent apps will be better for the Note 5 then when Samsung releases 6.0 for them.

100%
that's why they keep losing every year ...
not like S3 when it came everone loved samsung
they keep ruining everything ..
I'm using n910c there is no lag what so ever.
Once you have used the Note 5 for awhile & go back to the Note 4 it does feel antiquated both software & hardware.
Don't get me wrong I have note 4 N910C & it's great but to use, feel & look at the Note 5 has it beat.
SD card aside, I never changed batteries, get the Note 5 & you won't want to go back.
Have the Note 4 and went looking for a Note 5 64. Couldn't find one and I wasn't going to be stuck with 32.
I got the S6 edge+
The Note is an excellent phone. However, the more I pick up and put down the edge+ the more I understand how wide the gap is with the illusion of quality.
The edge is a beautiful phone, and feels really special in the hand. The Note 4 is more comfortable to hold and use. I carry them both, and mostly reach for the Note to do anything worky. It's just more reliable. And the removable battery and expandable memory makes is a lot more useful.
I find myself reaching for the edge more and more. It's smooth, it's beautiful, there's something there that's not um tangible. I'm beginning to make excuses to use it - I feel far more special afterward than I do with the Note.
I can see how, if one had the 5, it would be difficult to reach for the 4.
The materials actually DO change completely, how you relate to the phone.
The thing is - the Note 4 remains far more functional, far more reliable, far more efficient, and itself, is beautifully constructed.
Where the edge is sophisticated, the Note has class.
Does that make sense?

Hi Guys,
As some of you know, There is currenty a mod for the Xiamoi Mi 9 which allows you to overclock the display's refreshrate to 84 Hz. Since the Mi 9 uses Samsng OLED panels, I'm wondering if any developers could possibly look into developing a similar mod for the Galaxy S10.
Here is is the Xiamoi Mi 9 thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/themes/mod-overclock-screen-to-84hz-t3942063
Would love to have this, hopefully us snapdragon can be rooted
That would be nice!
There was a rom in the dev section (not sure if it's still there) where the developer was saying that 90hz overclock is being tested. So it definitely can be done but not sure if it's still being worked on. Would love it though.

The user interface becomes much smoother and scrolling has a huge difference. Ask anyone with a OnePlus 7 Pro and they will tell you the same thing.
Any news ?
Any news?
If Xaomi can have 85hz refresh rate overclock on a super amoled screen then we should be able to get mod working on the S10, right? Since the S20 is coming soon with a rumored 120hz. Makes me want a higher refresh on my 10 even more.
Guys forget it... the S10 community isn't as good as it was years before. Most dev's don't care about the S10's.

Assuming that's true, I'm guessing it might be because the US market version of the S10 is so locked down.
