I found the following and did changes to the registry. It made my games smooth and very lively !(I am really impressed as I could play - albeit enjoyed - for the first time 'XTRACT')
Found a way to force the graphic driver to show 262K color as 9502 have 262K VGA LCD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416207
But I do not know is thre any harm in doing this? Or does changing BPP value really change colors to 262K? because system information still shows 65K colors but everything else, especially video and games seems to be more vivid and brightand brilliant!
hmmm, dont see much of a difference, but this slowed my device, so i restored the default 16
well last time i read wm6.1 could only handle 65k colors
but if u really want to know if it did something copy some gradient picture files test it in both settings , and there u have it
65k colors should have bad quality when looking at images like this

makes me wonder tho, gradient images are perfect on my x1 when i use them as backgrounds on the today screen, but as soon as i use the same images with the sony ericsson panel, the bad quality shows up

WM has always supported more colors. The fact that spikegotti noticed slowdown is expected:
http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2005/09/07/462187.aspx
can anybody confirm the improved image quality?
also, can you quantify the amount of slow down? is it noticeable
It works for me. Not even slow, maybe response a bit better for me. Image maybe clearer but hard to tell with my busted eyes. I like it.
not noticing much of a difference, I feel that the device has slowed down a bit.
eg. in titanium when i'm scrolling it is a bit laggier than before.
other than that, I think there's a bit of an improvement?
To those who are trying this, look at the gradient image posted above. Before making this change can you see distince changes in color or does it look smooth? How about after? Do you notice a slowdown?
No gradient image not smooth. But other images look fine. I don't know about you guys, but I'm keeping it.
actually, after a soft reset everything's fine.
speed is up to normal, and the image looks nice.
keeping it as well!
hmm if its not slowing the xperia i will give it a try also
I presume more colors = more processor intensity = lower battery life, but perhaps people can report.
Anywho, the high resolution image viewing with HTC Album 3.0 is mad clear. I like it. Thanks, +rep
Can someone try the camera? It seems to response better for me.
i dont see any difference in quality of colour or speed of device
I think some people are imagining things.
The X1 screen only supports 16bit (65K colors), so how in the world is anyone seeing a difference?
Even if the X1 screen supported 24bit color (WM already does), you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a 24bit image and a 16bit one, unless you were viewing gradients.
I think there is wishful thinking going on in this thread

do you kno where you are?
this whole forum is for peole who wishfully think that their phones are better than they are and are willing to do anything and everything to make those wishes come true... i.e. flash-a-holics
I can also "Confirm" there is visually a colour dept difference when you choose 18 or 24 bit VS the default.
I will check with one of my mates x1 without this reg change tomorrow to close the seal.
Until then....
you mean I can choose 24 instead of just 18? I went from 16 to 18.. but think of the possibility o.o
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.
I see color banding issue on Xperia T's interface. Even when the brightness is maxed out, it is severely affected by the banding issue and there's also noticeable amount of noise while playing Video. My firmware ver. 9.1.a.1.141
I have included an image to test the banding issue. Just download the image and open it in full screen to your device.
I have noticed this too. Especially with certain colors on the Walkman app backgrounds. Guess theres nothing you can do about it. Its due to the quality of the lcd. Bit depth and all that. Also sometimes i notice backlight bleeding on the sides. Most of these issues could be overcome by an AMOLED screen I guess.
If you can find a way to enable "surface dithering" like in cyanogenmod this could help. Problem is it may be enabled already. Doesn't really bother me, who really cares about blacker blacks? as long as colours are good

In CM10 I noticed narrower bands of color gradient but in CM10.1 it is like the stock one.
But it's irritating that while playing video it tries to show more shadow detail and then the video becomes more noisier at high brightness. Also the sharpness of playback isn't good.
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.
So let's get to it.
I have a n7000 and it has bad colour banding everywhere.
If there is a gradient, there is colour banding.
I tried quite a few roms (cm/omni/du/slimsaber/spiritrom/some other one).
No improvement
I have also tried changing kernels (forest and raw).
No improvement.
Searching the forums and google didn't help either.
What I did manage is to set the mdnie to "movie" which then removed the colourbanding.
However everything gets this washed up colour tone which is even worse.
So my question: Is there a fix for the colour banding?
I remember that at some point in time, some cm roms on some phones (vague?) had an option in the performance menu to fix colour banding.
Does anyone know if there is an alternative (maybe an app) that does something similar.
