On a new version of my cleanslate kernel I'm working on Fading blink feature.
I'm curious how many of you would prefer to use the Fading blink instead of the original very short burst blink of the 10
Here's how it looks with my current work in progress kernel
Please use the poll and comment if you would like to. Thanks
Mmmmmm, interesting idea. I think the notification blink is fine as it is. Would be very interesting if you could implement the fade into the low battery blink. So it fades orange instead of blinking it. If that makes sense haha

I'm a bit in between, the default blinking is well noticeable, yet aesthetically I find it unpleasant to the eye. It's purposeful but unsophisticated compared to the possibilities of the LED driver.
That's why I started to make it more "21st century" looking, pulsating, noticeable but nicer at the same time.
But as this is purely subjective I opened this poll to know what people think so I can confidently set it as default in the custom kernel.
About fading between colors I'm afraid that would need much more engineering as both ROM and kernel would need to change. Htc implemented notification about states in a one overwrites all manner in the framework of the sense ROM, which blocks your idea, tho sounds like a nice idea, it would need more with than just kernel level

if only it were possible... but there's no real RGB color compositing on the htc led
Fading blink looks cool. Go that way if it works reliably

Any way to achieve this without the kernel? I have root, elementalx, xposed, etc so I am wondering if there is an alternative method..

which part? The flashing of the notification green led?
I don't think so, based on the kernel level structure I'd say, this driver was not meant to do such advanced things in stock kernel.
that's where I come into picture

Please let me test! That pulse blink is beyond sick! Make this the standard!
Summarizing the poll, the majority is looking for the Fading LED functionality.... but here's something really cool additionally, maybe of same caliber of more, you decide
I'm still polishing and testing the two features that was born out of my RGB led experimentation
but here's a video about the
two new features that again is
going to change a good part of how HTC 10's will work among the custom mod user community members.
- Fading LED notifications blinking
- Color changing charging LED based on battery charge level

Hello guys.
Does anyone know if it is possible to customize the values on the light sensor brightness leveler in the Sense UI rom, like it has been done on the open desire rom? something like this http://twitpic.com/2k4qjz
Like a lot of people, I've also found annoying the fact of when in a room with lots of light, the brightness is with excessive values...
tks
+1
Would love to have that
+ it would be really cool
+1 looking forward to
Quick question, wheres the light sensor on the Desire located?
front top left corner near the speaker
+4 would like to know if this is possible too
So,anybody knows if this is possible?come guys,it's the thing missing for maximum battery life...in automatic,it literally sucks the batt and f#cks up our eyes in the dark...

+1 for this! Maybe some dev make it happen
it is really annoying, it doesn't work as it should and it has been done for other AOSP roms.

Hi Galaxy S II users and developers!
I'm working since months on Galaxy S II Super AMOLED+ screen calibration and rendering customization.
As it takes a lot of time to get something really usable, I decided to publish dev snapshots as a free application on android market.
This project takes so much time because I reverse-engineer all the mDNIe image converter registers one by one. Same for the ld9040 Super AMOLED+ controller.
Then I measure the potential effect of settings found, transform it into comprehensive settings etc.
I also back-up all this by measurements made with a calibrator.
Most of this reverse-engineering will be published as GPL source code.
I don't provide any kind of support for the dev snapshots but I'm sure you'll be interested discussing screen stuff here.
Icon chose is self-explanatory: unstable software!
I have ambitious plans for this application. It may become more powerful than anything you saw before affecting screen rendering on any mobile device
I've installed the Market version but can't see differences between the Native and Samsung mode.
Same as with the earlier version you distributed on Twitter. I've read there you said it worked only on your SGS2. I guess it has been fixed now but still, no changes for me.
EDIT: I see a change now between the 2 modes, my screen mode was set to Movie, not Standard. And I remember having seen in the app you change the Standard mode settings only. Maybe worth adding it to the 1st post?
I was also using the movie mode but sometimes the screen will became a little bit greenish.
I'm so happy with the screen Turner now especially with light blue!

exciting only things i hate after switching to sgs2 (from i9000) was color calibration (and banding issue) and a bit sound quality which can be increased even though its not that much difference..
@supercurio do you have something in mind about color banding or its just calibration?
Nice start supercurio!! Happy to know you have started working All the best
thanks for the early feedback:
@snark_be as its really dev snapshots, I won't document it as virtually anything can change from one day to another.
Thats why sharing your observation with other curious experimental testers is so valuable
As someone stated before, I got good result against light blue colours...

Color banding: mostly done already.
Disabling artificial sharpening on everything make any banding very hard to notice.
Still, some apps are runing in 16-bit mode without dithering on MALI GPU instead of 32bit as you can see in Angry Birds RIO introduction animation.
Samsung settings apply sharpening even on dithered images. Result is not good, as expected.
The gradient pattern in today's app show that.
Gradient itself is a screen screenshot of Samsung browser rendering, for an accurate simulation.
The app will be declined for power-users, allowing full control over all the settings.
Sharpening, color saturation or tones: its all a matter of user preferences.
For Calibration I'll work on linear domain, directly tuning AMOLED hardware and not mDNIe effect.
Its what allows the best precision and avoid ending with 7 or 6bit usable per channel, but due to how is supposed to work factory calibration it's also the only way to fix color calibration issues, that makes some screen very different from others in terms of white balance, especially in low brightness modes.
hi
i tried tune it but it doesnt work.
When you look at letters ex web you see bluring letters. I discovered i had the same problem on windows 7 but switch of smooth edges of screen font and font are sharp crisp. Take a look http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15554743#post15554743.

Yes, everyone eyes gets lazy when used to a sharpened result.
Immediate comparison makes the normal rendering looks blurry even if it's not − brain trick!

Maybe you just don't like Android font hinting.
Personally I prefer stronger hinting like freetype "Best Contrast" one available on Linux desktops.
Issue with this kind of string hinting is that it doesn't play well with arbitrary font size.
Shapes become 1px or 2px wide but nothing in between, probably why Android uses an intermediate hinting, that eventually works better on higher density screens.
does this only work on stock based rom? are you planning to get this working on cm based rom as well?

It will work on CM based ROM when they'll re-add mDNIe support in their kernel.
mDNIe feature doesn't depend on kernel patches as Samsung nicely allowed customization in their own driver.
Of course this official driver must be enabled (CM) and not destroyed in its functionality (hardcore's patches)
I discussed it with Unhelpful and codeworks a few days ago and will contribute if needed.
Edit : seems to work, even though difference barely is noticeable, I guess it'll improve with updates
this may be a solution of fixing the left side yellow tinted screen just like mine
WOW~~supercurio you are come back again~welcome! just installed it from market~
native mode seem look soft and warm ..i like it..
samsung mode look dazzling and cold..
but i think it's a long way to go...
but i am very happy..you are back...
because i love your voodoo lagfix voodoo color voodoo sound for SGS..
also hope you can bring some things for SGS2~~
Says this device is not supported, running CyanogenMOD7 ver 31
Incredible difference. I really hated the sharpening Samsung do. Cannot thank you more for your hard time put into this.
This has potential to be a major breakthrough for SGS2 phones. Modifying our displays to fit everyone's needs is a much needed addon.
Thanks Supercurio!
Ive read that the One X tends to run a lot brighter for the equivalent setting on phones like the SII.
Is it possible to tune the brightness level that the Auto setting provides, and the external light at which it "ups" the brightness - as in my opinion, HTC's setting, although wonderful, is overkill in many situations, and screen on time needs all the help it can get.
Cheers.

if things aren't changed in ICS, you can decompile the /system/framework/framework-res.apk and then edit some xml's in it. Compile it again with the modified xml's and at last adb push it into the system partition. and this procedure requires a unlocked system partition.
if you don't want to unlock / don't know how to edit the stuff, the most feasible way is to put a brightness widget on homescreen and change it manually.

leedroid, insertcoin and a few of the other roms here have the option to lower the brightness in their tweak settings. If you search for it, j4n87 also created a flashable xml mod that lowers the brightness as well.
Cheers, I saw one on XDA for what I thought was the One S but it must be what youve just mentioned above I think.

Yes, we're on the same page although I don't understand italian . The mods I'm referring to all alter the baseline brightness as opposed to just the regular screen brightness based on ambient levels.
I'm running CM9 which allows you to edit baselines for screen and softkeys, but the roms and mods I referred you to do the same thing with less granular control. j4n87's mod is pretty dim but worked well for me until I switched to CM9. You could always crack open his zip and change the levels yourself before flashing.
Here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1595559
Yeh haha I don't speak Italian either just stumbled upon that on featured videos! Erm I knew CM9 had it working, can you point me in the direction of the best build? I need HDMI out but can live without Hotspot (which I believe is the only problem causer?). What's CM9 battery overall before these screen modifications?
I've tried about 6-7 of the roms here, they're all pretty much the same with varying levels of tweaks. I'm pretty sure that HDMI is working on the majority of them.
I love the hardware on this phone but not fond of Sense at all. Looking forward to more AOSP/AOKP based roms. The only available CM9 rom still has some bugs that need to be addressed (Phone, GPS, Camera - all working but with flaws) Battery life is excellent though I'm getting 4.5-5+ hours of screen on with heavy to moderate use using Faux123's kernel.
Is that the CM9 over at Modaco? Or is there an active one here?
That's great screen on time by the way.
Ideally I want one based on CM9 but with the sense Camera, that's all I can see thats worth keeping. Sense just isn't worth the performance hit IMO. It looks pretty cheap, especially with all the colourful busy icons...
Yes I'm using the build from modaco, jdroid is apparently working on a AOSP version and is beta testing. He said that they may release something this week.
How are you finding Screen on times for video playback/streaming by any chance?
Also, have you tried to see if the force dual core app helps?
Ill know myself tomorrow, the phone arrives...!
I’m wondering if there is a tool or a mod that I can use to change how the notification LED lights up, specifically to increase the blink rate or increase the switched on time of a blink cycle. The tiny LED buried inside the ear piece grill and the way it blinks makes noticing missed alerts almost impossible unless you look at it very carefully. Ideally I would like for it to blink rapidly or the have the LED lit up for a little longer in each blink cycle, I know this can affect the battery, so it would be nice if the behavior can be customized further i.e Have intensive blinking for the first 30 minutes and then fall back to the regular conservative mode to save battery.
A better alternative would be to use the capacitive buttons (back, home, menu) without turning the screen on. My previous Galaxy S1 had a mod which could do that, wondering if there is something similar for One X. If those buttons can be selectively turned on then I guess that would be more prominent than that tiny green LED.
Flash CM10.1 or ICJ to get button light notification.

Latest XM kernels also include BLN (backlight notification). It's fully cofigurable, including the light level. :good:
Plus, it has all the governor tweaks you can think of.
I Don't know if there's a standalone tool for this
but I use CM 10.1 ROM that comes with this tool included
anyway the control is limited to 2 colors (red and green) and 2 speeds , or you can use it to disable the whole light
and still be able to use hardware keys backlight as a notification light
Thanks for the replies. :good:
Currently I’m on Viper X custom ROM. Last year I installed CM10 but wasn't impressed with battery life or camera performance.

Interesting, perhaps I'll try that, seems XM supports Sense ROMs and I found few posts where people have managed to get it working with Viper X. I'm guessing if I managed to get XM kernel working, all I have to do is use BLN app from market ?

i haven't tried it on my hox yet, but i had limited success with it on my desire. htcs are notorious for terrible led notification control and configuration, i think. on my huawei ideos i had it configured exactly how i wanted it, but this is probably impossible on an htc ... actually i found this thread when searching for a solution how to manage my own led problems. but according to the discussion here there is no solution .

viper x works well with xm kernel without a repack, and bln works without any app, just enable it as instructed by xm
It's not a secret that AMOLED screens like the one installed in S4 mini have wider color range than IPS what often results in over-saturated images which were prepared for standard sRGB range.
Stock S4 mini ROM has means to change color profiles. So the question is - if this functionality also included/planned to be included in S4 mini's CM and kernel CM uses for this model? Could profiles be anyhow adjusted?
It's on my to-do list.
Really glad to hear it, Arco! Thanks!
Could you please share a bit about mechanism behind that? Is it really some driver/kernel-space functionality or it is being implemented on higher levels?

Hi arco68,
I'm also interested in a solution for the over-saturation problem of the amoled of my S4 mini. Before that I'll keep my stock rom that has the profiles included.
In the meanwhile any progress on that?

look for F4k's post
This build is for cm 11 (4.4 kitkat). The only thing is you have to manually put it to system/apps/ folder and then correct the permissions to
rw,r,r (644)
otherwise it doesn't work.
To get really natural colors instead of the oversatured ones you have to set mode to "natural" and temperature to "normal". Sometimes you have to switch the display off and on to get the settings applied.
Great thanks to F4k!
Cool!
Finally i get rid of this unnatural colours,
thanks peter and f4k! :good::good::good:
