[FIX] Fix the yellowish screen tint! - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Warning!!! As someone commented he was totally unaware of this problem until he used this fix and it destroyed his experience with his phone
[REQ]Any developer that could help me with something? I want to make this app matching system UI with ready filters and put it in Setting so that it will look integrated like the galaxy screen settings, that would help ppl think the screenproblem is just a soft problem and doesn't depend on hardware. Please be kind and PM me
As many have noticed, and even made some ppl crazy is the yellow tint on our screen(HTC One X, Xperia Ion, S etc).
Searching for screen filtering at play store made my day!
Then i found this app: LINK
I installed it and then made a filter with:
Red 0
Green 0
Blue 8
Brightness: 100%
Contrast: -0
That made me feel like replacing the whole screen!
Second thing you should do is:
Press the MENU-button and go in to Options
Autorun [YES]
Hide status bar icon [YES]
Enjoy your screen! :victory:

You just destroyed my life, I'm seriously miserable now. I haven't noticed the yellow tint AT ALL until I tried this filter. Now I see it and it bugs me a lot.
The issue is: although this filter solves the problem completely, the phone is sluggish as hell, the graphics / UI seem slower than a low end Galaxy phone. That makes me sad, I'll have to live with the yellow tint forever

Dude I updated the post, I found another much better app/solution, this doesnt bug at all and is always on, you wont notice it is even running :good:

Yeah, this one is better but it's still much slower than usual... it's like the phone runs at 60 FPS stock and with the filter on it goes down to 24 FPS.
It's not really SERIOUS, it's just that the colors are kinda yellowish or you know when you set the color temperature too high on the TV? It's kinda like that. But the colors are nice anyways. It's still much better than the Galaxy S3 with that HDR Pixar Everywhere that gives me a headache. HAHA
Thanks for the tip, anyways! It works, after all.

Mine shows up only when XS is at high temperature but I hardly notice it ( I only got a slight tint at the bottom).. Its -0 Degrees where I live so no worries until summer

Xperia Ion Yellow Tint
My Xperia Ion lt28h have the Yellow tint, its unbearable with white screens, but its good at watching videos.
Screen Adjuster works fine, didn't notice any lags though.
However is there any possibility to mod it through the rom. If so that will be a great option.

Interesting app, but I think my screen was already ok because by increasing the blue level, now the screen has a blue tint on gray backgrounds. For example, the settings menu is now literally blue and no longer gray.
Am I one of the very few lucky ones who don't have a yellowish screen?

Cool
Works great

Oh, and by the way, try running Quadrant or another benchmark with this app active, enjoy your halved performance.

... Runnning Antutu once without using this(8291) and with with(8262), every test is unique and thats why it differs,
Few people have experienced some lag(maybe heavy use of RAM even without this app), but i have not, I have not yet noticed lower performance nor any battery drain
Having facebook, viber, twitter or something like those installed on your device draw much more performance and battery than this, and for me the screen and music playback is the most important
Not meant to offend

Are you sure the app was on when you ran the benchmark?
Anyway, the score is not really halved but reduced nonetheless. Antutu is affected by this too (usually I get 8400, with the app active 7900), at least on my phone (stock .50 rom stock kernel).
Also, I don't use facebook or any other ram-eating privacy-raping crap.
The app definitely reduces the phone's performance.

Found smthing
Hi, I have the yellow tint issue on my Xperia Ion, its not deepa than SXS yellow tint, but whites are yellowish and colors are more saturated,
Im using your fix, and it helps a lot.
However recently i found out something, i was playing "Cut The Rope" game. And after i exit the game my yellow tint gone 100%. And after some time (30mins) gradually yellow tint came back. I was wondering how it happen. Then i discovered if your in a green color image that covers the screen for while yellow tint goes.
But don't know how it happen and why..

very good apps. feeling like just got a new screen. but yes, like some said its unfotunately very laggy.
Phone: LT28H
Rom: Paranoid Android CM9
Sent From My Xperia Ion Using Xda Premium

The app is really great but makes the phone sluggish,I believe this can be implemented at kernel.Most of the GNex kernel that i used have a color multiplier setting which controls the whole screen adjustment
Maybe some developer can try it out for Xperia S,I love this phone even though i use it as a backup to my Gnex??

free lag
hey, i mde a lot of test and i found a better way to solve it and dont have lag at all, just put brigthness about 70-75% and that solves all!! no color values at all, and no lag youre welcome

Glad to hear if someone likes it
On my old SGS, everything works great, the animation is smooth just as without SA
Stock browser the same
So far, only ppl with SGS2 and TranformerPad complain about it...
A few days ago I bought SGS2 and I don't see any slowing down
Probably it is related with soft version, I have KH3 (I didn't test on old firmware)

Dont scroll too fast, scroll slowly then you will see the animation is not smooth, check at the end of the scrolling when the scrolling is slowing down until it stops

Good Job mate, Just tested the new version and there is no graphichs glitches.
Unfortunately I don't have Galaxy S2 now but I tested it on HTC Sensation which is suppose to be less performer than the S2 because of HTC Sense and had no problems what so ever with it as before the graphics seems slower and animation is jumpy.

Nice app.
The Galaxy S II has a blue tint and I wanted to adjust the colour temperature to be more accurate. Though whites are now actually white, it looks like there's a thick weird tint, kind of like a beige layer placed on top of the bluish under layer.
I was wondering if providing a negative value options for colours would help?
Cheers and great work on the app.
Seriously cool app

[MOD] Fix screen warm tint

Hello,
I've been really angry about screen of SGS II - especially about its warm color tint. Today I've been playing with MDNIE profiles and finally managed, how to get off that annoying tint.
Attached file modifies MDNIE settings for "Standard" mode in "Settings > Display > Screen mode" options.
To apply this patch, EXTRACT ZIP and replace extracted "mdnie_tune_ui_standard_mode" with one in your "/system/etc" (root needed).
NOTE: This is not an CWM UPDATE.ZIP !!!
Try it and give me your suggestions!
Thanks!
EDIT:
If you want blueish Dynamic mode, just rename attached "mdnie_tune_ui_standard_mode" to "mdnie_tune_ui_dynamic_mode" and overwrite with one in your "/system/etc".
Settings are same but Samsung have "something" else added in Dynamic profile option.
Added comparison pictures - thanks to bala_gamer!
Note: Real look is bit different than on the pictures (the display is not that blue - at least on my screen). Pictures just shows how big amount of change this is.
There are a lot of screen types so you have to test in on your own if will it look acceptable to you
Just tested it and it did made a difference. Isn't the bluish tint a little too much?
I think that its just a matter of manner.
If I compare these settings with my old, perfect, SGS 1's display, it is still too warm...

It's going to be difficult to match the SGS1 because Supercurio implemented his Voodoo Color application. However, I think your fix is pretty good. Still a little off but much better than before. Thanks
Nice find, I quite like the change, looks to be a little further down the blue side of the spectrum on mine than neutral-white.

I do not use Voodoo color at my SGS 1 at all - everything is in default about screen. I think that through these MDNIE settings we can make SGS 2 display colors almost perfect! It just need time to play with...
I think it's a matter of taste. Plus, I think not all SGS2s are calibrated the same way. For me, I like the colors the way they are except for the highlights which I think are on the cold side; need more red and a bit of green.
Anyway, good job. Keep it up.
Could someone show some comparison pictures?
Would be nice to see.

I have access to four another SGS2 (in company where I work) and all of them are grossy warm...I've applied my settings to all of them and they are looking much better.
I've tried to take a photo with and without mod but I have camera with auto white balance so there is no difference. The change is not very significant either...just a little change of color tone - better to try yourself but don't forget to backup your original files

The color is still very yellow compared to the galaxy (I9000), but thanks for your temporary fix.

Super! !!! Thanks man!
This is amazing!
Permission to include in future releases of DlevROM2?
Again awesome stuff here! Keep it up, really makes a difference
Thanks a lot !
I have a more bluesh tint by default on my SGS2 as well. So I guess this fix wont do any good to my color profile. I guess it should be more warm ... more red and green probably...
thanks for your work, but can not find a mdnie_tune_ui_standard_mode file in /system/etc.
I´m on cm7. Is it missing there? How can your patch be applied there or is it just not necessary?
Thanks

You don't need to do this....Cyanogen is PERFECT !

Nice. Too blueish for my taste though

[LWP][v0.6-pre] Crystal Reflection sensor-reactive Nexus 4 backplate live wallpaper

Inspired by Zurginator's cool Nexus 4 backplate backgrounds, I've started working on a live wallpaper interpretation of LG's Crystal Reflection glass process.
Current release: 0.6-pre
NOTE: I'm not currently working on this and don't currently have any plans to come back to it. It was a fun diversion for a couple of weeks. Thanks everyone.
Features:
Reacts to motion of your handset or tablet in a realistic way
Optionally reacts to ambient lighting conditions
Somewhat configurable (color of dots and background, number and size of dots, show/hide the lines in the dots)
Free (as in beer)
Free (as in speech, BSD 2-clause license, pull requests welcomed!)
Known bugs:
I haven't actually seen the back of a real Nexus 4 yet, so I may need to tune the response function once I have. (And I do have one on the way.)
Needs a demo video. (I'll take a community contribution here.)
Other TODO:
Optimus G pattern (apparently some diamondy thing?)
Point source lighting mode
Consider OpenGL ES
Consider dropping support for all API < 18 if Filterscript DTRT?
Ch-ch-ch-changelog
Enjoy!
nicely done! i was gonna comment on the other post about live wallpaper...beat me to it haha!
Looks really nice. Also I did modify those default values a bit.

I am really excited to try this out.
I will get you a demo video as soon as google ships me my phone waiting impatiently
It works so well! I have no pag at all!
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk 2
v0.5-pre is built, adding an option to disable the little lines across the dots, adding a real icon, and simplifying the label used in the Live Wallpapers list.
You may need to uninstall or delete prefs for the old version. Definitely try that if it's refusing to load.
I've noticed that if I crank up the number of dots across on my Nexus 7, I can still get significant delays in rendering, despite using precomputed bitmaps. I suspect that the Nexus 10 will experience poor performance due to the sheer number of bitmaps to render. As it turns out, there's no access to a hardware-accelerated canvas from a live wallpaper, so I may have to rewrite the core as [edited] OpenGL ES (graphics Renderscript is deprecated), which would delay feature work.

I downloaded the apk to my Inspire 4G and my LG Optimus G and just see a black screen and no background when chosen as the wallpaper

After I went into the wallpaper settings and came back out the dots were there for me.
Seems to work for me even after clearing shared prefs. If you're setting it on a level surface or with the display straight up and down, with the default settings the display will appear black; more so if you are in a dark room (light sensor is enabled by default). I don't expect there to be a reason to make significant changes there to the defaults. All indications from reviews of N4s say that you don't normally even see the pattern; if anything I'm probably overstating the effect.
Thank you! It´s beautiful and i like it´s kind of sparkling.:good:
Can't wait to try it out once Google gets the N4 back in stock.
Dude thanks a million this **** looks sick on the N4

Sorry, no, I don't plan to do anything along those lines.
Incidentally, OpenGL, even with the help of a framework: pain in the butt.
UPDATE: Along those lines, rather than wait for me to figure out how to make that work, have v0.6-pre. It has some modest performance improvements.

I took it to customer care yesterday and it was funny that the guy there showed me his note 3 which also have same flickering and they said that it's normal with amoled due to voltage variation at low brightness levels.So I left customer care without replacing display:victory:

am using latest 4.3 update I think it's problem with Indian INU firmware will be solved by 4.4 soon guess
I did a factory reset yesterday and kept brigtness above half till now I didnt have ny flickering.
I found this on web
There seems to be a
problem where the phone has problems
deciding if the software or hardware(CPU
vs. GPU) is what should be drawing the
screen… So this indecision causes it to
switch back and forth, redraw, etc….
Over at XDA there are lots of post relating
to this problem. Below is a temporary
solution to the problem
Here are the instructions!!
Temp Fix: (until they find/fix the problem)
1. Go to settings > about phone
2. Click “build number” 6 times fast
3. You’ll see “you’re now a developer” as
a notification at the bottom.
4. Go back to settings, you’ll now see
developer options above ‘about phone’.
5. Go in developer options, and click
“disable hardware overlays” under the
drawing section
This will fix the flickering!! The problem is
with android 4.2.x, the OS gets confused
and can’t decide if the CPU or the GPU
should be drawing the screen, so it flickers
do to it switching between the CPU and
GPU real fast…
Hope this helps anyone out there
experiencing this problem, and spread the
word to anyone else you know to make it
known! Loads of people are re flashing,
returning to stock, even returning their
phones because of this bug! So spread the
word to prevent others from making this
mistake.

I haven't seen this question answered anywhere. If we assume correctly that black crush is software issue, does it mean custom roms shouldn't have it? Has anyone who tried one can confirm that this is the case?
it isn't fixed in custom ROM's either man.

Hmm, someone posted here that it is https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...een-mi-11-lite-v12-0-11.4285165/post-85377041
EDIT: Wait, that was you. So it isn't fixed after all?
nope, but using the screen balance app will do the trick for now

Using another app to fix screen problems is not a good solution. This probably means that it's actual hardware issue, which is sad

Did you try playing a video with dark scenes? I barely had any issues with lockscreen, mainly on apps like youtube.
it's easier actually, just open a pic perfect black with something shiny/colored, and then zoom in and out, watch the black around that white/color. "works" for me on max brightness to replicate it.
the custom roms make it much less visible compared to miui though, and reducing the brightness to something sensible is always a good idea. on auto brightness i can't see it ever.
it's probably a hardware issue or smth in the display driver. but tbh it's not a big deal during every day use.

Yeah, it isn't a big issue or I would return it and buy the phone I wanted before this (Note 10 pro). But the fact is, there is an issue and it's sad that they allowed it to happen to upper midrange phone.
