Hi guys,
In the next version of SpeedMod, I'll be making some changes to the color of the UI. In the JPX source code drivers, there are some new configuration settings which are interesting.
This kernel is based of K12F and should be stable. It is labelled K12G-TEST.
In this thread I will upload 3 different color settings:
Neutral
Warm (more yellow: use this if your screen is too blue)
Cold (more blue: use this if your screen is too yellow)
No color management
The purpose of this thread is to gather feedback from you about which color setting you prefer.
I realize that there are at least 2 types of screens with different colors - one which is more blue, one which is more yellow.
The file with "-warm" is the warm color version.
The file with "-cold" is the cold color version.
The file without "-warm" or "-cold" is the neutral color version.
The file without "-noc" is the version with no color management.
Reserved for future use.
On my friends SGS his whites are more like faint yellowish, on my phone its perfectly white.
So yeah there are panels that are probably poorly calibrated.
Thank you hardcore, i've never had problem with both version (normal and color) of any version of yours. So, normal is better i think
Have you thought about changing text color in CWM from green to blue or green like Amon-Ra recovery?

would be nice, let me explain:
purple: samsung (blue?)
green: zstupy
blue: hardcore (purple?)
red: supercurio
easy to distinguisch en you can tell by the collor what kernel you have

I'm perfectly fine with color versions developed so far...will I notice further improvements using neutral color version from this thread?

Haha... no I don't plan on changing it, and theoretically green is the best because Pentile-matrix AMOLED displays (like the one in the SGS) have the full resolution for green pixels, and less resolution for red and blue pixels.

Understood
Important is that it works always
I would try cold version, is it possible to have it at 256Hz?
Thank you hardcore
I also would be really appreciate if you could change the CWM color.
Maybe it`s not the best resolution on Pentile-Matrix-Displays but something special at all
I compared my SGS white level to my PC monitor (Eizo FlexScan S2431W), and I saw that it was a bit cold (blue).
Tried your warm version to correct it, but it seems too much for me.
To specify:
On low and medium screen brightness the screen is now too warm.
On full brightness, it seems OK.
Which makes me think that this matter is more complex than just adjusting one slider or setting or whatever, since the color temperature seems to change a lot with brightness.
On second thought I am not sure if my observations are 100% correct... maybe I'm just too used to a cold temperature...

Thanks for your feedback. So u find the warm too warm, versus your monitor.
Although it's a good basis for comparison, color balance is very tricky because it depends on the ambient light - if you are out in the sun, your display will seem more yellow (because sunlight is very blue). If you are indoors using warm lighting, your display will seem more blue.
The MDNIE software allows a certain level of control - at this point I can control the red/blue color balance which affects all brightness levels. This is similar to Samsung's own presets.
At this point I don't think I want to venture into trying to correct colors at different brightness levels - the source code also doesn't seem to offer that.
Mine is redish, installed your "blue" and it is just darker red...
Tonite I will install the new "no process" version, at least it uses less battery...
@hardcore,
Mention [POLL] on the Title.
Ooops, there is no Odin version this time...
Thank you for your good work!
However i prefer the noc kernel, colors are more natural, but it's my own point of view.
neutral here too
Please note that neutral and no color management versions are not the same.
Noc version has actually colder colors, from what I can see.

I voted for NOC, are you going to do an Odin version ?
Thanks,
The 'warm' version is PERFECT for my first generation UK i9000. Many thanks, been waiting on a colour fix for ages now!

For me the standard works best. The cool is too cold, and the warm makes the screen yellow. I find this strange because I was using the cool versions up until now. Is the color correction dial turned up a bit too much?

*Completely all black
*Increased performances (one of the fastest theme out their)
Why isn't the notification bar black to? wouldn't that help also?
yeah. thanks going to work on it now
It is my understanding that with a LCD screen that is back-light (such as your phone, and any LCD screen that I am aware of) black is harder on the battery because it has to block the most light from passing through the film. Therefore, you are having the opposite effect you desire, white would be the most efficient (or some other bright color) as it has to use less energy to darken the screen and can allow more of the back light to shine through. But I don't know everything...
i see...... i will create an all white theme for you guys than
But black looks better! My phone is decked out in black and blue, white would be god-awful to look at (even the stock grey is obnoxious). So, I say, continue on your quest for a black based theme, but instead of calling it energy efficient, just call it black.
Check this article out for some details to the power usage differences between CRT's and LCD's.
its funny... i have an all black background some apps and i turn my brightness all the way down to have it as dark as possible... mind you i have a white g1... haha
i see.. i will change the post's name if i can.... i create custom themes if you want me to create a theme just for tell me maybe we can work out a deal

Alright, so after playing around with the color settings and trying a bunch of different configurations, I have come to something where the colors actually look good in low brightness (Though they look great in higher brightness as well)
Everything I tried before was either too blue or too yellow, so let me know what you guys think!
Color multiplyers
RED: 170
GREEN: 150
BLUE: 160
Color control:
RED: -10
GREEN: 0
BLUE: -10
I've always thought it was interesting that everybody has a blind spot on their eye in a different place.. In high school I wrote a paper on how the color I perceive to be blue you could see what I perceive to be yellow, but since kids we were always taught that color was "blue" so we call it the same thing and think we are seeing the same thing even though we are actually viewing two different colors. Anyways, I like the (franco.kernel recommended) values: 180, 192, 200, -4, 0, 5.
The thing is the recommended values work great at 40% brightness or higher. At lowest, at least on my screen, the colors are terribly blue.

I think those values look kinda weird. I'm using the values recommended by franco.kernel updater:

RED: 180
GREEN: 192
BLUE: 200
Color control:
RED: -4
GREEN: 0
BLUE: 5
me too, the Franco.kernel value work very fine with my phone

I used to think this too. But if that were the case, you wouldn't be able to see some numbers on the "color blind test." This is the test that has a bunch of different colored bubbles and has a number in the middle of the circles.

I'm new to this phone. What can I use to adjust these values. I'm curious to see what difference it will make because the colors seem fine to me

If you download franco kernel and get his updater app you can adjust the color settings manually

Oic thanks. Downloaded and changed to recommended values. Seems a lot bluer. I'll wait a few hours and see if I adjust

Interesting, I've never thought about that. But does that actually disprove the idea? I know there are different types of color blindness.. One in particular comes in handy for snipers because the targets stand out more, I know this because my buddy who has this particular color blindness was recruited to snipe for just that reason. I never actually thought we perceived different colors, but its a cool idea, makes you think..

That's what I use too.
wow, that looked VERY green to me. wasn't a fan at all. i am keeping your color multiplier values but keeping -4,0,5 for color control and i like that.
Hate the blue tint issue. No calibration/settings can fix it!
Anyone noticed that the White on this phone is not as white? The white is a little bit yellow..
* Pure White can be achieved by tiliting the phone up or down a litt.e
Same case as Galaxy Nexus.. Anyone know how to adjust the color temperature to make it white?

Depends on the brightness level and the color setting. If you have it set to movie mode it looks really yellow. Im happy with how I have it set up but I know when auto brightness is turned on and it gets darker the whites aren't as white

Go into display settings and turn off the screen power adjustment.. it makea whites not as white to save power
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
Yep. Both of them are off. And set to dynamic for more saturation of color.. That gave me the whitest white..
However, it still does not get white like an LCD/LED does.. I know for the Galaxy Nexus, there was a feature to change the color(RGB0-214) . I guess we'll know in the future for this phone.
This requires kernel level settings, init.d support (busybox), and root.
Hi i was haveing problem with screen, i looked at other amoleds and spoted that our is sooo redish so i tryed to change it to become like my s3. i succesed with it. White is white green is greed and blue is blue. So far best colors.
All you need is to disable Live display, set gama: 4 red 0 green 9 blue then dowload kernel adiutor from playstore.
In it you need to change display color to 280 red 292 green 350 blue. Reboot phone and thats it!
[Root is reqvested to change colors] IM NOT RESPOSIBOLE FOR ANY HARDWERE DAMAGE!!
Have a good day :highfive::good::good:
Definitly looks like a improvement to me, even though on my phone it doensn't matter much. Thanks, man!
Is there a way to get the settings menu, quick settings, notification panel pure black and not grey? Seems whichever wallpaper I set (even solid black) it's not adhering to it...
Might have to wait until substratum can be used if not!
The irony of their colour scheme was not lost on me. I think they did this for a bit of retro feel so it looks like an LCD panel.
Come on Google, I know your designers are probably just 12 years old, but surely there are still some older people there that remember the light bleed issues of LCD displays of old, and that OLED was sold on being able to produce real blacks.
I just want pure black
Oh well, root will soon be amongst us I'm sure
I'm trying to find a wallpaper that is as black as possible, so the system themes it accordingly. But also one that doesn't have a tint to everything... Any recommendations? I just want notification panel etc to be black if possible but also for buttons ect to be a plain colour without a warm'ish tint to them...especially text, like I want that to be white whereas seems the system is adding a tint?
