Many Galaxy devices have a Serious issue.
You can't adjust brightness and your display is greenish and not usable.
After many years of hard work and researching.
I found the best and free method to fix this issue
The world first solution without replacing the display.
This will help you to get a 100% usable display.
I spent lot of hard time for this.
Today I will show how to fix this issue by flashing a custom ROM and some small stuff
- There is a way to use Samsung stock roms but it's not stable if anyone interested in that please let me know I will help -

}
First of all your device must be the Exynos model
1) Install TWRP
2) Make a EFS backup (very important)
3) Download and install (flash) any Aosp ROM,
(Evolution x ROM recommended)
4) Root your device (if ROM already have Root you're good to go)
5) Download Color changer pro & pwmfree Apk files (can't provide download links for color changer pro because it's a paid app you can find it somewhere on internet for free) Asop roms doesn't limit maximum brightness but Samsung roms does. So after flashing aosp ROM you can easily bypass display flickering issue by setting brightness to maximum amount easily by brightness slider top on notification panel.
6) (VERY IMPORTANT) install PWMfree and give notification permissions and display overly permissions.
- DON'T USE YOUR DEVICE AT MAXIMUM BRIGHTNESS WITHOUT USING THIS APP !
This app helps you to decrease amount of brightness by adding a black overly on your display it's working like your adjusting screen Brightness.
7) after installing color changer pro and open it you will ask Root permission and there will be a custom 1,2,3 tabs touch and hold to edit values my best adjustment is R: 239 , G:238 , B: 255 , S: 1.00
And it depends on your display and your choice just slowly play with it till you get the best results and make sure you save the values
Enable developer mode and set all animations to off this will help when screen is dimming while screen timeout.
"Every time you reboot your device it's adjusting the brightness auto and fix itself (pwmfree)
But after every reboot just open color changer pro and select your custom mode it's only need to set if you only reboots"
- There is a way to use Samsung stock roms but it's not stable if anyone interested in that please let me know I will help -
That's all your device is so much better than before
Thanks me later..
No need to install anything, its hardware issue not software issue.
Only reliable fix is to turn on AlwaysOn to always show, let it go to normal color after locking display and wake it with press on home button not a hardware button, works like a charm.
Without installing any third party apps with suspicious wakeups and logs.
No hard feelings tho.

brother every display is not the same
your display is not hardly damaged
And the issue is the display flex cable this method will work for same devices but not for all devices i have played with this for 4 years and you are correct if the display is not hardly damaged.
I can show you if there is a doubt about it because i tried your method long time ago its worked for Galaxy note 10+ but didnt worked for galaxy s9 plus & note 9 but worked for another note 8.
If your method didnt help this is the last method you can try other than rreplacing the display flex cable (our country there is no place to replace the flex only opinion is to replace the display)

The screen stays on when you need it. Finally you can read in peace! Works with all brands of phones and tablets. Note: S for Switch Voice Pro includes this functionality built in.
Let me explain:
Have you ever been annoyed by the display constantly turning off on you while you were trying to read or watch something?
It turns off → you turn it on right away → it turns off again → you keep turning it back on... GRRRR!
Of course you could set the display timeout higher...
...but then the battery will drain quicker
Samsung owners, you can enable SmartStay which will watch your eyes...
...but only if it's bright enough for it to actually see you
Extra Time solves these in a brilliantly simple way: you can set the display timeout to a low enough value, and Extra Time will temporarily extend it when necessary:
►RE-ON: when you turn on the screen within 3 seconds after it got turned off, Extra Time will extend the screen timeout, so you can keep reading without worrying about it turning off again (ReOn as in "ON again", get it?)
►SMARTER-STAY: it measures the ambient light level, and increases the display timeout if it detects there isn't enough light for SmartStay to work reliably.
►Your original timeout will be restored the next time the screen turns off.
Save battery power by having the default display timeout set to the minimum 15 or 30 seconds, and still have the screen on long enough when you need it.
USAGE
Very simple to use. Just install the app, start it, and forget about it.
Note: Turn off SmarterStay if you don't want the screen timeout to increase when the phone is used in the dark.
PERMANENT NOTIFICATION
Since Android version 4.0, memory resident apps need to inform users (you!) that they reside in memory. Extra Time creates a permanent notification, but no icon is shown unless you pull the notification shade down. It is also possible to hide the notification all together by long pressing on it, selecting "App info" and un-checking the "show notifications" option.
If you decide to keep the notification,
►you will have an easy way to access settings
►the optional toast notification will not appear regardless of the setting
PREMIUM UPGRADE
The current version of Extra Time will work forever without limitations, but it will remind you of its presence once or twice a week. Support my work with a buck (one time in app purchase), and you can really forget about it, except you keep enjoying the benefits! Buy once, use on all your current and future devices!

In app billing
This small (but growing) tool is my first attempt at utilizing Google's in-app-billing. I made the app to be available for free, and didn't implement any way to stop it's functionality even after an extensive test period. But I have included a friendly reminder of how many times it actually helped and an easy way to chime into the development of this and similar utilities.
The only incentive is that the reminder will appear every few days, when the screen is turned on. We will see how many people appreciate the service of this little convenience tool to participate. In this sense it's an experiment.
In app billing
There are different schools on in app billing. I decided to go in the "user respecting" direction. I don't like apps which walk out on you when you need them the most, because they couldn't check your license. I implemented the license checking, so that the premium status is only revoked if my app can successfully talk to the Google servers and confirm that the in app product have been refunded. Even then, the app will not revert to the "trial" version, only the next time it is started.
I set the price to the lowest value in each country, but of course the app has only one specific purpose, even if it aims to implement it at the highest quality.

Hey people!
UPDATE: Now supports Droid MAXX, Droid Ultra and possibly more Motorola devices
Go ahead and give it a try!
To the world, I proudly present my first ever Android app

LED Control
• So what does it do?
Lets the user select kernel specific "charging triggers" for the device's LED which will make it light up when plugged in depending on the specific "charging triggers"
• Why this app?
Well all of these triggers can be set from the command line, but I found it to be very cumbersome and tedious. Motivated by my laziness, I created this app. Although it was intended for the Moto G, I discovered that it would also work on Moto X, E and Nexus 6 too, theoretically on any device which has a "charging" LED.
• Features:
Clean and simple UI (I have tried my best to make it Material Design compliant)
Brightness Slider: Control your 'charging' LED's brightness while charging, if your device supports it. Currently works only on Moto X and Nexus 6.
Set On Boot [PRO only] : Automatically sets the last chosen trigger on a reboot, since the values are reset each time the kernel restarts. Available in Pro version only.
Available triggers: (You may not see all in your device)
While Charging
While Charging through Adapter
Battery Full
While Charging or Battery Full
While Charging (Blnking) or Battery Full
While connected to USB
When Display is on
On Internal Storage I/O Activity
On External Storage I/O Activity
When flashlight (rear LED) is on NEW
When camera flash (rear LED) is on NEW
When Bluetooth is enabled NEW
Always on NEW
* ROOT ACCESS IS REQUIRED *• Instructions:
Grant Root access on first run
Enable the Master Switch
Select a trigger and optionally choose brightness.
Plug in your charger and see the magic
There are different triggers for different devices, so try experimenting
• Screenshots: (from Pro Version) (Screenshots are outdated; will update soon)
NOTE:
This will 'enable' the hidden LED on your Moto X/Nexus 6. This app cannot set it to be used for notifications; it can only use it as a charging indicator.
The Brightness slider will not work on devices where there's a kernel limitation on setting the brightness- specifically the Moto G and Moto E.
Moto G and Moto X in this whole post refer to 2013 models only, I have not tested on 2014 models.
The app is tested and confirmed working on Nexus 6, Moto G, E, X and Droid Ultra/MAXX. However, it may also work on a Motorola phone other than the above, so give it a try, can't hurt

P.S: Since I'm utterly new to Android/Java programming this app took me several hours spanned over several weeks to build. But it was an awesome experience and I had a heck of a time coding it. :good:
I look forward to making more apps in 2015.
• Reporting Compatibility: If this app works on your device, and its not among the ones mentioned above, please reply to this thread with your device's details or send me a PM.
• Source: This app is open source too! Grab it on Github here. Feel free to take a look and suggest fixes to imperfections, if any.
• WARNING
This app has the potential of blocking your notification LED if you use a Moto G/ Moto E (a separate LED blinks just beside the dedicated charging LED but you might not notice it).
Please be aware that I (KDB223), nor XDA nor anyone but you yourself are responsible for the consequences of you missing an important notification due to this app.

notification led
I have Motorola droid maxx (xt1080) device running android 4.4.4. I purchased this second hand device few days ago in karachi. Its led notification is not working. Some sites says that this set does not have led notification led and some sites say that it do have a notification light. I have gone through the manual of this phone and found that this phone does have a notification led that works in low battery.
Does after rooting this device and installing the above program will switch the notification light on? And is there any way to root android 4.4.4 version?
Thanks
The app does what it is intended to do. but the master switch stays enabled even after removing the app. so you have to disable the switch before removing app if you don't want it on.
Make pls triggers while missed calls and missed messages

Issue dixed in current update.
Works as described on Note 8 unrooted. However , i noticed that I lost the ability to use the clock widget. I can't swipe to see the other pages in the widget and interact with it. So I can't click next song for example when playing music.
This is the case even with pratial images (not full screen one's). As if im only clicking/interacting with the image overlay. Is this the case with everyone else?
Any fix? Does it work normally on rooted devices? How do I fox it pls ><
A little expensive the full pack... how many images can personalize? 1 or more?
It seems that there is no more support...
Nice app, but the paid options are way overpriced in my oppinion.
Paid user. Worked perfectly on my note 8. But now using a s10+, Nadroid 9.0 Pi.
The AOD images goes off often and aren't consistent. Only the images within the a few mm of the clock (box range) remains. While the rest reappearing sometimes only and on interactions.
Pls advice

You can't get rid of the default theme because it comes nativity with the OS and, as you can see, it's the same passing from oreo to Pie to 10 because it identifies the model of the phone and not the OS by itself.
The other two one's can be dowloaded and installed or not installed at all or even uninstalled once that you install them and you can find them in
settings > accessibility > visibility enhancements > high contrast themes
They give this choice, for having these two high contrast themes, to people having vision problems by themselves or for watching the screen in particular light conditions.
Anyway, since they don't take up a lot of space, I don't understand why your giving problems to yourself for accounting storage (if this is the reason) although the high capabilities of the note 9 in given a high memory expacialy if you put in a micro SD card...

The first one, being the default one, comes nativity with the OS since the phone was still in his box as new so you didn't even have the choise to install it at all....it was there and can't get rid of it even if installing something else to replace it.
For the other two one's , right, they are not installed when the phone was new but only having the choice of them in the settings of the phone like I previously said... anyway, if you installed them, they won't do nothing (not harmful for performance ) and they are even small so they don't occupate a bunch of storage. But your wrong when saing that they are not ufficial themes because they come directly from Samsung's theme store and their download with installation are indeeded to complete the high contrast theme choice in the phone's settings..so, I don't understand your fears for this...
The two to the right are not downloaded into your phone that's why they have the down arrow on them giving you the option to download. The only reason you can see them is that is your history of previously downloaded themes. The first one with the check is the stock theme which is applied to your phone.
Please bear with me if this seems like the dumbest post in the world.
Ok, so right up until a few weeks ago, i loved the split screen feature on my phone. It was as easy as hitting the square button on the bottom, choosing split screen on one app, app folds itself up creating a space below, and then selecting another app to share the screen with. Easy peezee. Could have a video playing in VLC while perusing rss feeds in Newsfold, either on top of one another in portrait mode or side by side in landscape etc. Even my long dead grandmama could do this.
Fast forward to one day last month, i download some usual pixel update prompted by phone, only to discover my oft used split screen is now no more, but now "split top". It doesn't split the screen like it used to do, and i can't figure out how this split top thing is supposed to work. Plus it always says "Pixel Launcher keeps stopping" after several attempts to use the split top function, which is indicating that Pixel Launcher has crashed. But i din't use Pixel Launcher or have it as my default, i've always used Nova Launcher.
Basically i was doing just fine until whatever this update (which i am assuming is 12L) that has ruined split screen for me.
Is there a way to go back to the old split screen way? Or, how the heck do you split screen with this "split top"? I searched around the web and can't seem to find a solution.
I'm really not enjoying my device or being as productive as i used to be.
Hello @LordLugard I just registered to reply here.
After wasting so much time trying to fix this bug on my end, and several factory resets where it didn't fail at the beginning but then it eventually did, I found the solution on another post of a different forum:
-Turn ON system animations.
That's it. That's how it got solved. If you turn them off, the new split screen doesn't work at all. I'm afraid this must be an Android 12.1 bug because I had the exact same bug in a Poco F2 Pro with Lineage 19.1 and Trebuchet as launcher, so it's not phone model specific, not ROM specific, and not even launcher specific.
I hope this helps someone

Thanks for the reply.
Where would you "Turn ON system animations"?
I have it in:
"Settings/Accessibility/Text And Display/Remove Animations"
I had this switch on (meaning no animations), what caused split screen to crash. Turning it off solved it.
Hmmm, doesn't work for me. Mine was already in the "OFF" position.
What the heck was ever wrong with the old simple way? It just worked.

Bummer, sorry that it didn't help. It just did for me.
I don't think so, but maybe you activated Developer options, and then changed the value of the animations scales?
Just to discard animation related settings.
I'm afraid I'm of no help beyond that
Well, what do you know...a bit of success.
Since time immemorial, i've always turned off animations in Developer Options to 0, as i do not care for all the fluffy visuals.
So on a whim i decided to tinker and set it to the lowest value, 0.5x, and that seems to work now. But the implementation is so much different than the old way, will take some getting used to. The old method was so much better.
Thanks for the input.
I'm glad it helped at the end!
I fully agree on everything, I don't want animations either, but we're stuck with them if we want split screen as long as they keep this bug...
Also not a fan of this new and worse split screen method. You press Home and both apps are gone.

1,000% this. I'll be returning my brand-new Pixel 6 and returning to my old phone which will never even be eligible for A12
