Hey there,
I think this question has already been answered a thousand times but I haven't found an answer yet.
The color calibration on my One X looks really strange. Yellow and green tones are way over-saturated.
Is it possible to change that?
Any help is very appreciated.
Cheers,
land.apfel
You can try the app screen adjuster in the playstore. Its free so worth a shot. I don't know if it is what you are looking for ...... but it might work.

Hey guys, does anyone know if there is an option to change the color temp of the screen? I remember hearing the sgs2 had a feature to change it built-in. The color temp is a little too warm in my opinion. It might be on purpose to conserve battery but I would prefer it to be cooler (the whites are too yellow).
On my SGS2 I had an app called Screen Adjuster. It would let you change RGB settings. That might help, if it works with ICS. Other than that I know some ROMs for the SGS2 had different screen "modes" like Dynamic, Movie, etc.
Did the app work well for you? I'll give it shot man, thx.
On the SGS2 it worked amazingly well. Made the colors less saturated and more realistic. Of course, that's with the SAMOLED+ screen I think. I'm not sure how it will work with the Nexus screen. Different technologies, right? If you search the SGS2 threads for "screen adjuster" you can see some people's recommended settings for the SGS2. Maybe you can use that as a starting point and work from there? Good luck.
Yea I'm not sure how it'll react since the nexus uses a pentile arrangement while the sgs2 uses rgb. I've actually gotten used to it and don't mind it at all now. Haha go figure right. I guess my eyes just needed to adjust from switching from my vibrant with voodoo color which looked noticeably cooler.

Sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but I thought it was worth nothing that I tried the Screen Adjuster app, and while it worked for adjusting the calibration/color temp of my screen, it seemed to make my phone VERY laggy. Does anyone know of another app that will do the same thing but apply the settings permanently in some way without having the run the app in the background? Maybe with root?
Hey peeps!
Question First: Has anyone else found a LED flashlight app that works well on the DHD or Inspire that can dim the LED right down?
I want to use the LED on the back as a reading light so I don't have to drain the battery by using the screen but its simply too bright.
I am running an Inspire 4G on Revo HD 6.3.1. The stock flashlight app works well with the 3 levels avaliable and I don't want to kill the LEDs by over running them.
There are tonnes of flashlight apps out there, some using the led and some not. The ones I have researched either don't have a brightness adjustment on the LED or attempt to burn a hole in a sheet of paper.
The only app that I have found which relates to this is call "Reading Light" and is just an adjustable brightness grey screen.
If this has been discussed before please let me know and i'll request this thread be closed. I couldn't find anything regarding this aspect of the topic.
Regards,
Akida
I don't think this has come up before. Its a good request. I'd be interested in something like this.
Bump
Bump for confirmation of possibility please!
Btw .. how often am I allowed to bump? I couldn't find it in the forum rules.
CM 7.1 has a application called Torch which has two light levels. The dim one seems like it would be perfect for reading (it only uses 1 of the 2 flash LEDs). The bright level is insanely bright (much brighter than the Sense flashlight app).
There is an app on the market called Torch, but I don't think its the same one that comes with CM 7.1.

Hey that sounds like its worth a shot. Has anyone extracted the app from CM 7.1? I'm going to ask them for permission anyway.
Thanks for the info.
This is apparently NOT a problem. However, I would like to have some color fix on this.
I don't know if anyone knows what I meant
The One X screen compares to S3 or any other phone side by side, the one x had a slight warmer color tone, in other words, it's kinda yellowish.
it's truely visible on white screen.
I find this very disturbing, is there a way to fix this? I prefer a more natural and realistic color tone.
If you're gonna recommend an color fix app, can you tell me the input for primary color values to correctly fix it? I'm too lazy to fix it little by little lol.

It is going to be a colour fix app, but everybody has their own settings my cooler temp colour may be to warm for you or to cold. So you have to fiddle with it ti find your own settings that you like.
Give this one a try and see how it works: My Settings are alpha set to 8 and blue set to around 80ish or so.

Hey im still noobish about quite a few things and im wanting to know about what changing colors on my device do...I've heard that it helps battery somewhat but i didn't know if anything else. Like making certain colors pop more or whatever. Just curious about what some peoples thoughts are on this and if anyone has their phone set a certain way with colors that makes their phone "pop" out or looks better.....i would like to see some screenshots and what settings you guys have on your device....much appreciated if anyone can show and help me out. Thanks

Sweet....thanks, so what does that all do to your device? Battery battery life, better color saturation or whatever? I'd like to know the point of doing this to the device and benefits...or if its just for personal fun

So no one is willing to explain any of this to me?

all it does is adjust the screen color/gamma. any difference in battery life would be a placebo effect. it might sound kind of pointless but i know that i and probably alot of other people would go insane if we lost the ability to adjust the screen like this. im a sucker for screen with lots of gamma reduction, the colors look so much more crisp and vivid; you can make it look damn good. decreasing the gamma will help make the colors crisper and less washed out, and the blacks blacker. you can also change the color balance -- some people notice a yellowish tint on the stock rom, adjusting the color values you can completely remove any tint and achieve a pretty true white.
edit: regarding screenshots, you wont see anything from a screenshot. screenshots show what the system is rendering, not what the screen is displaying. heres my settings, they may be a little too dark for you:
gamma adjustment - 0
red - 0
green - 0
blue - -3
color multiplier-
red - 153
green - 156
blue - 199

Yeah some people's are slightly different, it dependant on the rom they are running. It's hard so say what to set yours at, some screens just don't look the same as others at the same settings. I would just get a few pictures you really like, put them on you sd card and use them as a reference to adjust them, just pick whatever looks best to you, that's what I did.
If you use Franco kernel updater app, trickster or tkt from play store you will have more options. Gives you ability to calibrate the screen to correct for poor color, mine is beautiful, that's why I can't leave this phone.

Settings will be different from display to display. Also from brightness settings can potentially have an effect on how things look too. Unfortunately there is no universal plug in these numbers and your display will look great. Also, a bit of subjectivity can come into play here as well. As mentioned using a picture of something you know and adjusting settings until it looks right is a great idea.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1790325 <-- that thread has a discussion about various settings, including a spreadsheet in the OP where there is a list of them. Which once again shows that people's settings are all over the place so you probably will have to do some tweaking to get them how you want.

And by calibrating, it will automatically change the colors for you for the best looking results?

Not automatically, you will need to put in things manually look up calibration color galaxy nexus as there are lots of posts and charts saying what people use, pick one that is close and tweak it from there

Ok so this really isn't the biggest thing or issue but I was curious if anyone else has this issue, Ok so with air view with the s pen you can hover over certain things and it will Pop up a little window with some text either explaining What it is or where it goes etc. but when I upgraded to one Ul 2.0 android 10 the text changed color from normal black to a very light cyan or light blue, so light I can't see the text at all anymore. Anyone else have this problem or know of a fix for this, any help or input would be very much appreciated!
Here's a quick screenshot.
I have seen this sometimes when applying light color themes
