No, that's different.

This app allows you to alter the gamma(well, not exactly, but 'fix' the color over-saturation), and to turn off samsung's SAMOLED pentile filter (Which makes text and stuff look better on a pentile screen.. but for some reason they left it enabled on our SAMOLED+ (Non-pentile) screen.)

Dunno why he removed it.. maybe he's polishing up the 'final' version, or maybe there just wasn't enough interest?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
well he's been really quite on the subject for a long time. but when asked about it in the past he was very reassuring that he had something in the works. well this may be a project that started with good intentions but was put off for other projects,(seems he has soo many) or it may be one of those projects that is never quite finished. i got the idea that he wanted to write a whole new driver for the screen that would at least include a way to fix the black levels which samsung has a habit of exagerating.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] stratatak7:
The latest news is that he's working on a new application from the ground up called "Display Expert". He really isn't distributing Voodoo Screen Tuning R&D anymore and doesn't want others to distribute it without permission, based on previous posts. The only thing to do is sit around and wait for Display Expert to be finished. He's a busy man. His Twitter has information on all of his works if you guys want updates on everything he's doing. :cool:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] lieutenantsword:
Subtle, but noticeable difference on mine. Much darker black (like my Samsung plasma TV at home) and sharper lines and more vivid contrasts. With that darker black, the colors just seem to pop. I like it!

By the way, I'm using MIUI 1.10.21.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] supercurio:
Today only Nexus S have a speaker tuning feature in Voodoo Sound as the audio digital signal arrives unprocessed to the WM8994.

Its not the case with Samsung ROMS and its too late to adjust the sound using Wolfson's hardware DSP.

If the option is available on any Samsung ROM its a bug, leading to poor results.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] supercurio:
Me neither! thank Samsung for that ;)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] seemles:
Does that mean when cm7( or 9 for that matter) is fully working on our device, that option would/could be available?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
OK, in that case I'll update my kernel thread. In our sources, there's some stuff in wm8994_voodoo.h that causes NEXUS_S to be #defined if any of the following are defined:

CONFIG_MACH_HERRING
CONFIG_SAMSUNG_GALAXYS
CONFIG_SAMSUNG_GALAXYSB
CONFIG_SAMSUNG_CAPTIVATE
CONFIG_SAMSUNG_VIBRANT
CONFIG_SAMSUNG_FASCINATE
CONFIG_SAMSUNG_EPIC

The NEXUS_S #define only seems to trigger the speaker tuning functions to be compiled in.

Seems to also be in the sources for GalaxyS phones such as those targeted by Glitch - https://github.com/Tk-Glitch/Glitch-base/blob/V13-BLN/sound/soc/codecs/wm8994_voodoo.h

But it sounds like, if anyone is operating correctly here, it's the Infuse. ;)

[Samsung Infuse 4G] chrisyou:
Thank you supercurio! Does "Samsung" = your tweaked settings? Or is "Native" the tweaked settings?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] trouzzermouse:
Seems that pictures are less washed out on the samsung setting. I am looking at a black and white picture with display at full brightness. Full brightness with color picture i get more contrast on the samsung setting. Colors look washed out on native, with less contrast. Blacks and greys seem deeper on the samsung setting.

I saw a thread by supercurio in the Infuse section and my buyer's remorse immediately started to wither. Testing this immediately.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nash2000:
Report sent.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GGXtreme:
Alright, just some quick feedback from my trial. The turning down of the sharpening filter is welcome, especially with smaller text. Grayscale tracking seems a bit weird though, resulting in odd artifacting, banding and blocky patterns with darker screen content, but no odd coloration on a grayscale ramp as present with the default Samsung tuning.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] supercurio:
Yes Samsung sent me an Infuse 4G and also a final Tab 10.1 GT-P7500 and I'm working on both device.

I must admit I have already a lot to do and wouldn't have bought those devices otherwise.

More work for me in the end, some publicity for Samsung and more hacks/mods for people like you who bought the device!

Win-Win-Win!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] supercurio:
Ah, force close?

Maybe you can send me a Voodoo Report after the app crashes. I should see the result in logcat attached.

Damn! Now thats an Amolded+ screen :eek:. Thank you for this nifty little app.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] thephoneguyusa:
Working great! Latest MIUI! Glad to have you on board!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nelomen:
That is awesome that they sent you those devices. Now if they would only send some devs an official Gingerbread release. I would love them forever.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] supercurio:
Yep!

For the update, it's 100% an AT&T matter.

Samsung is waiting for your carrier, fortunately they are still free to sponsor devs.. and it's also kind of a way to provide support to their customers − bypassing AT&T that refuses to play ball.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dh2225:
Wow thanks supercurio. Now the colors pop out even more and everything is much sharper. It used to be a bit blurry and much less contrast.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jwl12345:
They should "accidentally" send a dev another Infuse with GB...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nascasho:
OMG yes!

I always hated the overkill sharpening the screen used, put a weird white halo around text all the time, now it's gone!!

Thanks supercurio!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] supercurio:
Its a funny interpretation because what I do in "Native" mode is to disable the sharpness filter, disable color saturation boost and restore gamma curve to something close to 2.2 instead of an exaggerated gamma with more pop :)

Which preset do you prefer, Samsung or Native?

Note: I'm not criticizing your feedback, its just interesting to learn how different people express their subjective perception about image rendering.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MattSoRaven:
If only we knew where/who at at&t to put pressure on. if anyone who works for at&t had any ideas that would be appreciated.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MattSoRaven:
I think "Samsung" is much more crisp
[Samsung Infuse 4G] supercurio:
Thanks, that's what I'm talking about ;)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] LuRock:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] XGX5309:
I think this is great! Samsung's mDNIe modes were really super aggressive on the Infuse, and I've always thought that. Text has always been sharpened to hell and back, but your utility fixes that. THANK YOU!

Supercurio, you're an amazing guy.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] joeclark:
Thank you for working on this.

I am running the J2 Leak and it works great.

i prefer the Native with text and web pages, but with pics and videos i like the samsung option.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Nice - I have a P7510 (wifi-only version) - great device, and Voodoo Sound seems to work quite well on it. I recall a few people reporting issues with VS on one of the Tab 10.1 variants in pershoot's thread though...

Which reminds me, I need to sync up with his tree and rebuild. I STILL haven't looked into whether adding detection of iPad chargers as "supported" is possible. (Depends on whether there are ADCs for both USB lines or just one.)

I agree with you on AT&T being the holdup for Gingerbread though... If you look at the update rates of the I9000 vs. the Captivate, it's clear who is at fault.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] supercurio:
Voodoo Sound for Tab 10.1 is not ready, not supported either.

I only pushed some beta code on my github, specifying it was not meant to be used nor distributed.

But it seems some "patch-o-matic" devs just don't care, and I really hate that.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] projectvirtue:
Running cyanogenmod 7, the october 20th build.

The app itself is running perfectly fine without problems.

-Samsung profile has better contrast (less washed out/greyed out)

-Native profile fixes the letters as you mentioned on your website. Aliasing around characters are gone are much smoother and nicer to read.

-* this is noticed in PNG's as well, circular images appear smoother.

-JPG artifacting in player pro album/artist art is decreased as well

Try lowering the gamma just a tad (0.1 or 0.2?) to bring back the inky blacks we all love in our infuse

thanks for your work supercurio, you're amazing
[Samsung Infuse 4G] supercurio:
Now that my Infuse is un-bricked I'm experimenting again with settings.

Currently hesitating between 2 existing in kernel gamma modes.

The default one which is too vibrant and the second one which is a bit dull.

Its unlikely I'll re-build complete gamma tables but I'll maybe add choice between both modes later, according to personal preferences.

Knowing that screen sample differences makes each rendering unique, also why feedback differ.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] CrayzeeCarl:
This makes an already amazing screen even more amazing! Thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] projectvirtue:
I suppose having choice would always be best when it comes to something like this but thats a lot of work. Is the default gamma setting from samsung not available to use on the native profile? Does the vibrant one just look a little super saturated while preserving the darkness?

hmmm. i tried taking screen shots to show native vs samsung but both shots are identical when viewed on my computer ._.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bignate78:
It brings out the deeper color, its alil more clear than a hazy look. Sharpens things up a bit

[Samsung Infuse 4G] maxjivi05:
Thank you amazing work!!!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] supercurio:
Alright in snapshot 21 the "Native" mode is now with punchy gamma curve.

I'll let you choose between Punchy and Soft presets later.

Over-sharpness is fixed in both cases.

Punchy, even if not accentuating color saturation looks too much saturated to my taste because the gamma curve is higher than 2.2 it seems. (I didn't ran colorimetric measurements yet.)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] JordanElliott:
Supercurio is da man. Genius I tell u
[Samsung Infuse 4G] EXPERIMENT:
Well after testing it on a few different things, for me the difference is not drastic. But what I did notice was with pictures the Samsung setting is crisper than Native. There was some fine writing in a picture I was testing, and although it was not legible you could tell it was text, but with native it's just a blur.

Don't be afraid,

[Samsung Infuse 4G] dirtymindedx:
Wow this is awesome. Things are sharper using simply honey rc1
[Samsung Infuse 4G] XGX5309:
One area I've noticed it having a dramatic effect is video. Take for instance a really super saturated video, like Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass"... then end part where they're using neon colors is far less "stand out", color wise, than the Samsung presets.

But on the other hand, videos that are primarily dark like the BBC's "The Other Boleyn Girl" are infinitely more watchable since it brightens up the dark parts. With Samsung presets the contrast is too aggressive with that movie, where your "Native" preset makes things more normal.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] marty331:
Thanks for helping me get this going this morning, I've tested it off and on all day. I think having the Native setting makes the pictures very noticeably sharper. Great job!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] trouzzermouse:
I like the new update. Text shows up better and the colors are still pretty vibrant.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Naphthoylindole:
Ummmm. Dunno, Samsung seems to make my pr0n look better (not kidding...) and pictures in general. And the fuzzy text is damn near impossible to read with native.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] BoOsT:
Thanks, great work man! The "Samsung" settings for sure takes the blur away from the black, and brightens up the colors.

Thought I preferred Samsung mode at first, as Native appears blurry initially. Cleaned my screen and started doing tests of everyday stuff (reading the web mainly) and now I like Native mode.

Nice improvement! Thanks.

Any idea when you'll have an auto-loading version? This is something I'd gladly pay for :-)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wicked_beav:
Do the settings stick after a reboot or do you have to reapply your settings after a reboot like on the Voodoo Sound app for Headphone amplifier? Wish there was a way we could save our settings because I usually forget to reapply them after a reboot.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:
I agree with this guy ^^^
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DaMeatMan:
For me the "Native" setting really did wonders for text readability. It really smoothed out the hard and often smaller pixelated text. I also noticed issues with colour bleeding on text in handcent SMS that is now fixed with the tweaked "Native" setting. For example blue text on green background looked horrible, now the lines are clean and smooth with no noticeable bleeding. The Samsung colours are also far too saturated for my liking, but then again everyone will look at it differently. To me though this app kept me from returning my Infuse 4G, since i just could not get used to the pixelated text and oversatured colours!

And i noticed a couple have been asking if you need root for this to work.. the answer is yes.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] xdahgary:
Your new update has soft, punchy, and samsung. The soft is too bright, makes pictures a little faded. The punchy is good, but samsung setting made colors a little more colorful, more saturation? Anyways, good job.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jhunt1:
Running MIUI 10.21 and so far no problems. I see a noticable difference between the three presets. Can we tweat it ourselves or do we only get the three presets to play with?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] araemo:
And this is why it is so hard to get good color reproduction in consumer devices.. people don't want accurate colors, they want bright colors and high contrast, regardless of whether the original was that bright or high-contrast. ;)

Both soft and punchy have better text rendering than samsung.. I wish I could check if the mobile boarding passes would still be fuzzy, but I can't load the barcodes after the flights are over.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] CZ Eddie:
It works on my Infuse with Hellraiser'd Darky ROM.

I get three options, "soft, punchy & samsung". I assume Samsung is OEM settings.

Soft appears to raise the black level. Punchy is almost exactly like Samsung.

Punchy/Samsung are eye pleasing.

Soft offers more detail.

Tiny text is easiest to view with Samsung setting. Normal sized text might be better with "soft".

Pictures have more detail with "soft" but look more 3D with "Samsung".

I'm going to stick with the "soft" setting for now I think.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Chewy11:
I still prefer soft setting. I'm on build 29 now. thanks.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] supercurio:
Yes there is that at some point (personal preferences) but I firmly believe an accurately calibrated display looks fine and probably "best" for everyone.

Thing is, AMOLED screens are often quite different from a sample to another in terms of color reproduction (and white point). Why each screen contains recorded factory calibration data which is here to help the SAMOLED controller to minimize the differences, but the current process it's not enough to make every screen the same, unfortunately.

That's why with current Samsung SAMOLED screen generation, you cannot get the "right for every device" calibration.

Note: this kind of calibration is much easier to get right on an LCD screen because there's only 8bit/channel, backlight luminance doing the rest. On AMOLED screens, offering a linear response curve on every sample is much more challenging it seems, due to the amplitude of the dynamic range addressed (from very bright to almost black for each pixel)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] supercurio:
Yes, Samsung is stock one; the 2 other presets are a combination of settings already present in kernel but never active.

I started by that because it was easier to get results without requiring to write and flash a custom kernel or write complex kernel internal structures hackery.

And.. the result is better than I expected without spending weeks/months of work on this specific device.

Yep, on my device, soft sets the gamma curve to something much closer to the expected 2.2 gamma than other presets.

As explained in my previous message, It may vary depending on the screen sample and associated factory calibration data recorded.

Matter of taste ;)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] P1 Wookie:
I'm liking the soft setting on mine
[Samsung Infuse 4G] araemo:
I finally found another qr code that demonstrates this, and its unchanged between 'samsung' 'soft' and 'punchy', so.. I was wrong. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GGXtreme:
I'm really enjoying the Soft/Accurate setting on my phone :)

Any chance of custom settings/sliders later on for those who like to calibrate their own displays? Also, do you have access to more tunable settings than gamma and sharpness (ie. RGB cut/drv) when working on this? I'm not exactly sure what kinds of calibration settings a SAMOLED/+ panel would feature.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] the2rrell:
The Samsung setting still is the best for me, i like the darker blacks and sharter edges that it offers. Soft is just soft glow on everything....and punchy is better but the edges were not as defined.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] supercurio:
Super AMOLED controllers don't work like that but in linear luminance level with complex gamma correction factors instead, for each color channel.

So... it might seems simple but its the most difficult feature to write − without messing up color accuracy as side effect.
