I like it, it makes my blacks blacker, and my whites whiter... as for the resources it takes, that I do agree with, not that it takes a lot, but 2.0.8 was a little quicker for me. I keep my phone at about 5 - 10 percent brightness all day. I think it looks nice though, personally I feel it is better then stock. And if you are getting the yellow stuff on boot, or on dim, probably have the wrong settings.

Color profile voodoo

R 215

g 229

b 256

Gamma

R -53

g -48

b -44

I like these settings alot, and I tried at least ten I found online.

@kennyglass123

I've been tempted to post the same thing, but I assumed I must be doing something wrong because everyone else seems to love Voodoo Color. I tried every combination of settings that have been posted (including those above), and though they may add some punchiness, the colors always seem to be very unbalanced/inaccurate (either too blue, or too yellow, or too something else I can't put my finger on). I also tried dozens of my own combinations, just can't get it set to anything that doesn't end up bugging me after a while. Oh well, I'm going to follow your lead and flash back to 2.08 for a while and see if I miss Voodoo.
[Epic 4G General] saramon:
I like my phone really dark, and that might not be for everyone :)
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
Some of this may be due to inevitable inconsistencies in these screens of ours from their factory days. But I find VC to be preferable even at defaults. Colors seem much truer and the nasty bluish tint over much of the screen is lessened.
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
I love it. Not sure what it's doing for everyone else that doesn't seem to be causing a problem here.
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
Here are my settings, took me a bit to get my screen to where it looks best for me:

Voodoo profile

Red:247 -16

Green:224 -14

Blue:245 -15
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Wow.. are you reading my mind? I flashed it and ran for a few days. Even a very non-technical co-worker saw my phone and asked if my screen was going out since the colors looked weird. She always commented on how beautiful the screen looked.

Had to crank up my screen brightness turning off auto-brightness as well which is killing my battery.

Soo..what's a stable Samurai to go to? I'm not interested in voodoo, oc/vu, just plain ole I want my daily driver to work.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
2.08 is the recommended stable replacement according to Earthbound.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
I wouldn't call it a problem, just like I said, not a fan. I tried several suggested settings and no matter what on some screen something always seemed off. That and having to crank the display brightness up is just not for me. I am real happy with the beauty of the stock colors. I see the potential for the voodoo color but it would take too much work and adjusting until I would be happy with it.
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
Did you try the other color profile?
[Epic 4G General] DrKaotica:
im running Marcus's rom, which comes with sam 2.06.

I tried flashing the new sammy colonel last night, and aside from the fact that the colors looked piss yellow, it was really laggy.. to the point were i reflashed the rom to get 2.06 back.. didnt really see that coming :(

Also, Im not really sure what everyones talking about with the "blueish" tint of the stock colors. I held my epic up to my GFs Moto Atrix, expecting to marvel at how much better my samsung screen looked, only to find that (even on the stock, non-VC colors) it looked piss yellow compared to her moto.

So, aside from not wanting to have to eff with the color settings, the main kernal right now that has it, apparently, hates my phone anyways
[Epic 4G General] rsage:
Just flashed back to 2.0.8, wow everything feels so much faster... and no more tweaking colors and no more cranked up brightness... it's good to be home... ;)
[Epic 4G General] flastnoles11:
I love the voodoo color. My brother just bought an epic and as soon as he saw mine he said "wow how'd you get your screen to look that good!! The colors are amazing!!" I just said "xda"... lol
[Epic 4G General] RealTic:
Ok , I have two epic s, one is refurbished so I'm sure it has some mileage on it.

side by side the differences are noticable. Exactly the same except voodoo has brighter, blue tinted whites... A little better darks. I will post pics today.

the voodoo epic does look pretty damn nice, but in the end, its all about personal preference.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Only on 1st boot and look. Then I saw everyone using the 2nd profile and tried all the settings I can find. There was always something off, one was too blue, one was too warm, one was too brown, and all were too dark requiring at least doubling my normal brightness setting which uses up more battery.

I would spend time tweaking my TV a little but don't want to keep doing it for the phone. It is awesome that it is better than sliced bread for a lot of users but just not for me.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
This is beautiful!

Sent from my Legendary 2.2 infused device.
[Epic 4G General] saramon:
I thought so too, anything else I try has something to low, and it turns yellow on dim, not this one though, and looks very vivid to me. I don't notice a tint on any color, but thats just me, I have never been known for having the greatest eye sight..
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
I like a bluish-white look. If you do too go with:

R 192

G 228

B 293

R -19

G -17

B -3
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Just got around to doing the same thing here... glad to have my beautiful screen back. Blacks are black again and whites aren't yellow!
[Epic 4G General] RandomKing:
Working with bbelos to adjust the default colors of ShadowKernel to look right again. As mentioned, the colors look funny upon boot, and then set to however you set them with Voodoo Control.

However, if the default values themselves are set to good values, then the discrepancy will be gone! :D

Of course, THEN you can adjust and fine tweak it any way you want...

All I know is that the gamma was wayyyy too high and the screen looked yellow, which combined to make my Helix boot animation look just awful. He's sent me a preliminary adjusted kernel he patched last night, and it looks sooo much better again.

Look out for a new ShadowKernel with a GOOD looking voodoo color setup!
[Epic 4G General] mis3:
Is there anything that can be done about the fact that the screen is much dimmer on auto brightness?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Bbelos sent me a copy of the future release and I have to admit with no voodoo control app the default colors are pretty awesome. The default brightness is a few percent dimmer than stock which is MUCH better than anything I have seen. And for the control freaks there would still be the option to adjust and tweak. Not having to tweak is what I am looking for and RK and Bbelos got this one REAL close to that. And it is also super fast as well.
[Epic 4G General] jeffro18:
I think the starting point they are looking to change to is a bit better. I have found exact same settings look different on the two phones in my household. Different eyes and hardware will still require tweaking the settings by end users to fit accordingly. I believe I am looking at the same test build as you.
[Epic 4G General] DrKaotica:
In trying to get my phone to not look crappy with vc.. I combined the two sets of suggested settings on here.. I'm happy now..

R 215

G 229

B 256

R -19

G -17

B -3

Think I'm gonna stick with these settings..
[Epic 4G General] tbob18:
I think Voodoo Color is great, it fixes the issues with lower brightness settings on my Epic (30 and lower), where there would be a purple tint in darker greys (try this without Voodoo Color).

There is a problem with the gamma though, it is not consistent. For example on this test it is all over the place, and I have not been able to correct it with the Voodoo Control settings. The mid-greys are too bright resulting in a somewhat washed out image, and if you try to correct it you'll end up with crushed black levels resulting in an image that has far too much contrast.

Even though there are some issues, the resulting image (using a Spyder to help measure the temperature) is much closer to my calibrated desktop displays. And I prefer that to the horrible green tint on the stock kernel. :)

Nice, excited to try it. Wonder if it fixes the lower brightness issues that Voodoo Color fixed as well.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
I keep my brightness real low, about 20% and it looked good, just a little darker.
[Epic 4G General] tbob18:
It is a fairly common issue for SAMOLED screens (this is the exact issue), maybe yours does not have the problem.

If I go to this page on a kernel without voodoo color at 10% brightness, the lower range of greys are purplish.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Haha. I just thought they finally got a combination that looked pretty good on my phone with the upcoming Shadowkernel 1.04.
[Epic 4G General] mookiemoo:
what app did you all download to change the colors and brightness of the screen after you installed shadow kernel? i installed shadow kernel this evening, but now my screen is dim and dark.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Voodoo control app.

[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
I'll have to ask him or check his github and jack his settings for nyan kernel :P
[Epic 4G General] gmorf33:
@kenny

are one of the options in voodoo control app able to implement the default kernel settings you mention? The profiles chooser where you can pick "Original" or "Voodoo Profile v1" is a little confusing to me.. is "original" the original kernel settings, meaning if you're running samarai/shadowkernel/etc it will apply those settings? Or is "original" the base Voodoo settings?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
I am not sure if "Restore Default" gets you your original settings, some predetermined voodoo defaults or the kernel defaults. Easiest way I figure to get kernel defaults is by clearing data in voodoo sound control, uninstall it then flash the kernel. Then reinstall voodoo sound control app.
[Epic 4G General] HelloM0f0:
I think restore default gets you to the default kernel settings.

Does anyone know how to find out the default samsung settings? I really don't like voodoo color but want a lot of things shadow kernel has.

My dad got GB - EH03 pushed OTA to him, and he's getting missed calls. I'm running CM7 so I have no idea what's going on in OEM world.

I've searched and searched but came up empty - is there any known problems with the EH03 modem missing calls? (ie. says missed call, but phone never rang).

EDIT:

Even though he has the stock verizon ****, I can use Odin and flash the EC09 modem on there, right? I mean, as far as I understand EC09 it's running fine...
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
Alot of folks have been having troubles with ota eh03. My advice would be to odin the stock eh03. You can find it in my guide or the dev section under "Full eh03 tar"...seems to have alot less issues... and yes you can flash the ec09 modem in odin aswell. I like it better than eh03, because eh03 is always stuck in 1x...that could be part of the reason you dad fascinate is missing calls.
[Fascinate General] Syndacate:
Yeaaaaa, that's not an option for him. I can't even try to quantify the number of hours he spends nit picking at his phone making sure everything is exactly where he wants it to be.. Reformatting isn't an option :-\. Re-flashing EH03 without a factory reset probably won't work well.

So I'm pretty limited to flashing modems, I guess... Blah...

I guess I'll put on EC09..
[Fascinate General] xwhofarted:
No in the post it has the modem only. no need to flash the whole rom.
[Fascinate General] Syndacate:
Which modem are you talking about? EH03 or EC09? I figure EC09 has been pretty sexy solid, so I should flash that on his instead of the EH03 that he has on there now.
[Fascinate General] gt43aw:
Yes, ec09 seems to be a better modem, that's the one he's talking about. I do use EH03 though with no problems. Even get calls in my garage which i never did before. you can flash modems without losing data. If you're worried though, download titanium backup and do a full back-up. Another option is to simply flash clockwork temporarily so you can do a nandroid just in case.
[Fascinate General] Syndacate:
I just flashed EC09 and he's been happy. He stopped missing phone calls.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grannypotts:
99% of the time, an app can't remount a partition because it doesn't have root access.

AdAway works for me, they share the same mechanism and AdAway seems to be much better than AdFree for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mancubus99:
Works fine for me. I had to reboot to update the hosts file and its been great since then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gross770:
I have a later rom of 4.2 with same problem

I also have a galaxy nexus 4.2 and it doesn't work for me either? :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slyd0997:
Try adaway. IMO it's better than adfree.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timmyfoxeh:
I agree about trying Adaway.

Otherwise, if you are sure you are rooted, check also that you don't have any proxy set by your carrier (System settings > Wireless & Networks > More > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > Tap the selected one > Ensure the "Proxy" option is "Not set". If you see an IP address there, just change so there is nothing set)

Also make sure you reboot the phone afterwards if it still doesn't work...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arief347:

[Xoom General] Muffycheeks:
There is an app in the market called Voodoo RootKeeper. It's suppose to backup your super user permission. Meaning you can unroot with a click and then re-root with a click. Which would work great with OTA downloads without losing root. Has anyone tried this with their Xoom?
[Xoom General] okantomi:

[Xoom General] Android300ZX:

[Xoom General] Muffycheeks:
No I mean balls of steel.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Reading it more closely, it looks like it wouldn't help much if you have a custom Rom or kernel, just if you're rooted stock. Then you could use it to take an OTA update and then reroot. That would be cool.
[Xoom General] Muffycheeks:
It also would be a viable tool to use for apps that won't except root. Such as movies in the Market. You could switch to unroot download movies then switch back to root when you're done.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
But is that because of root or a custom Rom/kernel?
[Xoom General] burden010:
Interesting! My understanding is it's because of root access so this SHOULD work...!!
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Will you try it for us and report back? ;^)

I'll try it tomorrow before I flash the new Eos nightly. Actually, there's a chance it might not work with ICS I guess. I'll try it anyway.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Yes! Finally we get a guinea pig...ahem..a brave soldier for the cause!

Doesn't seem to work on ICS. Installs OK but doesn't show device as rooted. Also there's no unroot option so can't test properly. Similar feedback on the Market for Galaxy Nexus owners.
