[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gianpor:
How do you know?,well i cannot tell that you're wrong, but i could only hope that the official Samsung ICS wouldfix this issues, that or supercurio's fix.

Guess that was expected, well i'm looking forward to supercurio's fix
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Scorbion:
simple!! open calculator app
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gianpor:
What does that have to do with the ICS not fixing the color redering problem?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] paleh0rse:
All we do know is that none of the leaks fix it. Samsung may pull something out of their arse with the official releases, but I wouldn't bet on it.

My guess is that they honestly don't care, OR it's a hardware issue that they simply can't fix...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Rezz:
Im running the official german ICS release from today, so so much for an official fix.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gianpor:
Well that sucks...

The only thing left to do is wait for supercurio, i hope that fix this damn issue.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] garytube:
Color banding drastically improved but blacks clipping is still present.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MR.change:
Running cm9 (for a week now) and it does solve about 80% of the screen issues

Hope SC's fix will take care of the rest.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zen0s:
Running on official ICS release for German too I don't see any difference... Calculator still has ugly banding and black clipping. Lame...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Tinderbox (UK):
Has anybody checked the new S3 to see if it has the same problem, it has the same screen type, just a little smaller.

John
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Nemesis_00:
Color banding has improved alot. Just check Zynga Poker splash screen. It's completley banded under GB and looks fine under ICS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aguadilu:
Hi, what is UI and how to change it? Thanks!

Yeah for some reason only downloading snapshot 47 and not updating... Guess it takes time for market server to update?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] albireox:
Probably so, since in Market it shows November, 11, 2011 for the last update.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] supercurio:
Yes market is slow, be patient.

Also its a bit buggy or stupid as you're notified in the app list there's an update before you can apply it from the app page itself ^^
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] npras42:
Yes, I have noticed this with other apps too...

Patience... patience...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] albireox:
Let's talk about something, while we're waiting... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] supercurio:
Nobody got snapshot 49 yet?

Did I really worked on that or is it pure vaporware?

− just kidding :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sibere:
It's not vaporware, but the market is smokin' ! ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] albireox:
Still nothing... Got the "update" notification, but with no real update... :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] supercurio:
Market is teasing you guys :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] albireox:
Finally... now let's see.

What I can say so far is that banding is greatly reduced. Great!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sibere:
Just tested on my Note:

In standard video mode and QuickPic, I can see down to 2 instead of 4. So in this case it's pretty much lik using the ScreenAdjust app, where I can set contrast to see down to level 1 in any of the 3 modes.

BUT! Screen Adjust APP is not working when I play a video in hardware mode but only in software mode.

Your app is working in hardware mode and that is a BIG difference!

Appart from this, I don't see any other difference. Lowest levels are still too bright (dunno if you've worked on that yet as it's a very quick first test release).

Great progress in a short time! Looking promising! Thanks Supercurio :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] npras42:
Got it also. Def seems to be a step in the right direction with colour reproduction.

Where would be best to compare this supercurio? Im just looking at some wallpapers and pictures in my gallery at the moment and the colour reproduction just seems more natural, but I understand the gallery app is limited in some respects (16 bit vs 24 bit?)

Also should I have screen mode on standard for testing? Brightness setting. I am just talking about testing, I know IRL this will constantly change, depending on the setting and the ambient light.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] supercurio:
Oh btw if you test it please remove/disable any "screen adjuster" crap that only ability is to add tints.

Really a shame such app, adding an static overlay without any other capability pretend to be able to 'improve colors'
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] supercurio:
Some difficult test videos:

http://youtu.be/DoxUiqUpkw4

http://youtu.be/BXpdmKELE1k

http://youtu.be/t5Sd5c4o9UM

http://youtu.be/Md75XkwRs1U

Be sure you watch full resolution videos (I suggest to download them) and not via Youtube app (480p) or Flash (does **** with black levels)

Like that: http://dl.project-voodoo.org/sample-videos/Moderat - Rusty Nails.mkv
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sibere:
I obviously did the test with the app disabled ;)

I only used until now this app to adjust the contrast setting to the level where I could see all levels down to 1 with the gamma image.

With your app and the other one disabled, I see down to level 2. Apart from this, I don't see any other difference.

IMHO worst situation to watch a video is in a dark room with brightness set to the lowest level.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] npras42:
Ok, thanks for the video tester supercurio. Its good to have a control video so that everyone is at the same baseline.

As I said definite improvement in colour reproduction and detail is being brought out that wasnt there properly.

Check the video, 'Moderat - Rusty Nails' supercurio posted in the default Video player, with Brightness at 100%, Colour Mode on Standard and in the video player set "Colour Tone" to Normal.

The whole video shows a much more accurate greyscale gradient but it is especially visible improved black levels (i.e. less clipping) at 1:17 when there is a thin black cross on the screen with a circle at the top. On Samsung mode you cannot see the circle very much at all beyond the white sheet it is overlaying.

Switch to Native and the whole thin black circle is clearly visible as well as a very dark background! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] profahmad:
There's definitely a noticeable improvement with banding, especially with the xda-dev and Winamp app startup screens.

Excellent work. I've yet to try it with video; I'll try it with some 720p MKVs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] QuadLight:
cONFIrm ! really Excellent BUT !!!! gamma any way little (20-30%) upper . need little lower
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eliashadow:
There is any solution about balck wallpaper on lockscreen issue??

I mean when i choose a colorfull wall everything is ok, but when u choose a black wall you can see vertical lines on it.

Thanks mister for your supporting...Im sure you will fix any issue.Im voodoo LOUDER fun already...;)

Cheers,

Ilias.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] supercurio:
Thank you npras42 this is a very good explanation.

Spot-on.

The effect of this mod return to a neutral (today preset really is a bypass on everything including sharpness filter) mDNIe processing is more dramatic at high brightness levels.

I suppose now that everyone expect something better complains will focus on lower brightness levels, as the smart dimming has a strong tendency to make things look dull.

Why? That's very simple.

Basically, bright zones become less bright but dark ones stay about the same.

As explained earlier, root cause for this is that this new algorithm has been designed to emulate sRGB curve which defines the black point not as something black but as black+an offset due to backlight+ambient light.

It cannot do anything but fail by design on AMOLED because black point luminance is extremely low.

So, if you were wondering why shadows seems bright and... suddenly there's a harsh transition to black: now you know!

IMHO, based on my current knowledge a display should limit itself to a pure Gamma 2.2 response curve, and colorspace conversion sRGB or Adobe RGB or anything be managed by software, taking care of the expected calculations.

Really, a beautiful display tech trying (and failing) to emulate sRGB... its beyond me and its not the last time you'll see me fighting this nonsense.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] garytube:
i added 2 screenshots about banding is improved after the official ICS update
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] priyanv:
How scrolling performing now? Still lagging?? Previously I was owning HD7 there it was silky smooth after SGN I was seriously disappointed and was hoping ICS release.

Just wanna know whether still flickers when scroling in app drawer with list view???

Edit

oops sorry wrong place to post this...

Pls ignore
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] k!DDa:
i can confirm that
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dzontra11:
Me too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Note_E:
I can too. I notice the banding is better in some places, but has gotten worse in others. Overall though it is better. This truly does confirm that it's primarily software related. Hopefully supercurio can sprinkle some magic on our new ICS.

Also, after updating Note N7000 to official ICS, I see Voodoo LOUDER only goes up to +3db compared to +10.5db on GB, what gives???
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fast_asleep:
can someone tell me when they click on the play store,

on the left hand side, therer are 3 different boxes (which are apps/books/movies)..

on my s2 the background colour of those boxes are grey

BUT on my Gnote the backround are alternating colours grey and green (diagonal banding) - is that what other people have???

im still on gingerbread 2.3.6
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Higgsy:
I noticed pretty serious banding issues as soon as I booted ICS, much worse than GB, one of the reasons that I reverted
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eve7:
Anyone having problems with the screen who has bought this phone recently and are in the uk?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dimokami:
Hi everyone. Supercurio when you will release your display fix?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eve7:
Will the fix from Supercurio only be available to people who have rooted their phone?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lagittaja:
I downloaded the gammatest.png and my Note screen looks EXACTLY(!!!) like Gianpor's Note in a pitch black room.

I have horrible banding as well, calculator looks awful and watching Stargate Universe S01E01-03 extended 720p was a nightmare. Black bloches as well (duh)

I should go and get a new one probably? I just got this Note last week :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tian105:
Any update on this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Latoc:
No.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] adichandra:
i temporary fixed this issue by using an app called screen adjuster. the app is running all the time, eats battery and makes the user interface abit slow. make sure running this only when you're watching movies only.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] paleh0rse:
Screen Adjuster simply makes your deep blacks turn grey. You lose true black.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] adichandra:
i prefer lose the deep black rather than watching a lot of blocky stuff on the video.

i just turn this on while watching a movie only.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kisstom:
Hi Supercurio.

Can we hope some solution in this matter?

Please answer yes or not.

I start to hate my Note because of this, i'm thinking to sell it...

10 $ donation immediately when you fix it.

Thx
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] timooz:
Hi there, I have downloaded gammatest.png last week and everything was just fine, zero problems, and I could barely see any numbers befor 10 or 11 with perfect gradients. Also, my Note was perfect while watching movies, no problems in dark scenes at all.

However, yesterday I have accidentally opened gammatest.png again :eek: and the problem was there, checked some dark scenes in a movie and ****, the problem is there also.

Does this mean anything? a software problem? or its a hardware thing that prevails by time? :confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] silvehosszu:
I think software issue

On gb roms I had a very real issue with crushed blacks, but the intensity varied greatly on different roms

I am now on ics official jpy (rooted) and the issue simply disappeared.

In my view this means that we are talking clearly about software and not hardware related problems.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aalupatti:
Me too same experience

@Galaxy Note™…
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] drake19:
I was in GB with kernel SpeedMod k2-11 and i had no problem at all,i flashed k2-12 and boom there it is,i flashed ICS LPY stock and rooted and boom the problem stills there!!

Im tired of this problem and i regret the day that i sold my Galaxy SII :( :( :(

But i love this phone so much that im w8ing for solution from supercurio!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] timooz:
Thanks for the reply.

Would you please tell me from where can I download ics official jpy? is it the open germany rom?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] drake19:
Only the open germany rom it is,nothing else!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] silvehosszu:
You may find it here on xda on developement forum. I am sorry but i dont know how to copy and paste the link using xda premium.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kisstom:
I tryed Criskello ics (JPY based) and the problem still there.

I'll try SpeedMod k2-11.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] drake19:
M8 try it in GB stock rom,i wish you good luck :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fast_asleep:
anyone?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] drake19:
Look,that has everyone have is black clipping and not like something like this that you are describing.

:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fast_asleep:
i understand the black clipping - so when you go to play market you don't have any diagonal banding on the left hand side where it says apps/movies/games?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] drake19:
To be true,no i dont have any diagonal banding to the left :/

I just double check it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fast_asleep:
thanks for your answer - are you on gingerbread or ics?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kisstom:
Not too nice from Supercurio to hang us from jan.Could he say we can hope or not...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] drake19:
Ics m8,and i dont any of the problem that you have,and probably your problem is hardware :)

Its not too nice,i know but if you check his tweets you will see that he is going to release a beta app for everyone and not just note,for now im using Screen Abjuster and i set brightess to 100% and contrast at -13 and lcd display to Dynamic,im losing a little of true black but i dont care because i dont see any black clippings :P
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sminkal:
Thanks. I first noticed the issue while playing the latest Spiderman trailer on imdb app. It was horrific looking. Have installed screen adjustor and it makes look okay. Plan to use the screen adjustor only while playing videos.

NT-7000, Ics 4.03, stock.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] clandestino123:
Yep this is the best fix for us right now.....we can only hide the fault.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Note_E:
Any word on this project?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] drake19:
Yeah its very nasty problem :mad: and im using the app only if i want to watch a trailer or if want to show any photo to my friends :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] QuadLight:
I think supercurio forget about his project (DisplayExpert)

6 months its very long time to make simple apk.

i dont trust him.... he is allready told us - "then samsung publish ICS DisplayExpert will be published"...... official ICS released a month ago.

i dont wayt because replace display in samsung service 5 month ago and very happy... no gamma problems and black clipping (only gradient was in GB/// now on ICS its in 90% gone)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] supercurio:
And I think you have strictly no idea what you're talking about, nor what I'm doing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Note_E:
In all fairness, no one knows what you are doing. I've emailed you three times for support on voodoo louder without a reply. So I just don't expect much

You are a man with enormous talents. I wouldn't say that I don't trust you as a user above did, that's a bit rotten. But unreturned support requests on a paid app bothers me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EdgaBimbam:
Omg dont like his work then do it by yourself... -.-
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Scorbion:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] drake19:
Im just waiting for your project man :)

Can you give us an update about the app m8?

Love your work :D :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] martcerv:
Still waiting for Supercurio to see what he comes up with but Ive just installed the latest taiwan ICS build and the videos, images and ui are not showing any signs of the black crush yet. Ive tried all ICS official releases and the screen is best on this by far for me all others were just as bad as all stock gb roms.

Will test further to see if i can find any videos or images that show this but so far so good.Ive just gone through my full gallery and didnt notice any of pixelation or any colour banding. Video playback is good in stock player and also mx player. I set previously problematic dark image as homescreen and lockscreen and no issues with banding in blacks or any pixelation.

So far looks the best my screen ever has been in colour rendering performance. This is as good as my s2 was if not much better as i cant compare them atm.

Ive watched one of my downloaded YouTube videos "foo fighters live at Wembley hd" this I'd much better then last time i played it with black contrast being pretty good where before dark sections where purple pixels, now mostly they are all black but some very slight pixelation is still seen in the smoke and lights.

Very hard to notice compared to before where it hit you in the face now i have to look hard to find anything. This could be due to video encoding too but I say overall this I'd the best stock ICS rom for colour rendering.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] peslap:
I have 2 of questions. I admit I didn't read all the 83 pages before. :D

This is the problems I seem to have:

http://androidforums.com/3854202-post222.html (I didn't test with those video files, but I have the same problem in some degree)

1. Could you tell me if all Notes have this problem or only a few lots? :)

2. There is "cure" for this problem? :)

(martcerv (the guy above me) is saying that puting ICS would resolve the problem)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] martcerv:
I tried all the other leaked ICS roms LP1 to LP6 and the first official german release which all had poor colour rendering the same as all stock gb roms I tried.

This latest rom I posted above is the only ICS that has much improved rendering, I dont know about all the custom ICS roms or the nightly cm9 builds as I only tried the early versions and they still had bad rendering.

I know its risky to flash ICS roms and since hearing of the bug ive only used pc odin for any flashing which is still not guaranteed safe but i think safer then mobile odin or cwm. Im happy with this rom as is and will be sticking with it until a full official ICS comes out without the possible brick bug.

Rendering is the best my notes been and high bitrate video playback is fine unlike some other ICS roms I used including cm9 which didnt play 1080p high bitrate videos in hardware mode like the stock gb roms did.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MR.change:
He meant when ICS sources are out ,which happened only today.

have some patience ,and above all have some respect .

Good to see you here supercurio

I've created a twitter account just to follow your work :D

hope you come up with something perfect as usual

cheers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Khyllion:
+1 ! Supercurio is a very good and serious developer, I'm sure he will improve (resolve :D) this color rendering issue!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Tinderbox (UK):
Hi

If anybody has read this thread, they will know i had a major problem with black crush on my note, i always use the disney tangled underground scene, as it was really bad, so bad a returned my black note.

Now a few weeks later, the price of the note has been dropping, I though i would give another one a go, this one is black, made i Korea.

Now i got it today, and i put the tangled video on straight away, and the difference is like night and day, no big black areas moving around the screen, I am really happy :)

This is only a early test, I could find other thing wrong, but it looks good so far.

I will have to try the numbers gradient test, when i find it, this is my currant software below.

John.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] peslap:
So it's a hardware thing? :( :((
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Tinderbox (UK):
I am still seeing some banding, i`m in GB, but does ICS not suppose to reduce that, I tried the 21 grey-shade image, 3 to 1 are totally black so about the same as my last note, that seems strange since the black crush is a lot better on my new note.

John.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PaulF8080:
I was trying to get a better look at the XDA opening flash image banding so I did a screen capture. The cap has banding(even on my PC. The question is: is it "the" banding problem where the renderer wrote the bands in the screen frame buffer or did the image get munged when XDA enlarged the image in a photo editor to fit the note. My guess is the XDA app may be doing the banding.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Rezz:
I know its a lot to ask, but any ETA on this? I used to watch movies all the time on my sgs2, but I havent watched a single one yet, just cant stand to look at the videos on my note.

My girlfriend is getting the sgs3 in 2 weeks, if it doesnt have this issue its byebye note and hello sgs3, im gonna miss the big screen though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] truelies1:
After update to 4.0.3, it looks a little better but still ugly. I don't believe the screen can even compete to Apple's Retina.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Tinderbox (UK):
If you can capture it, then it`s the xda app that`s at fault, unless it supposed to look like that.

John.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pboesboes:
I've held an iPhone next to my Note and it looked undersaturated and washed out, with crappy black levels. Apple's displays aren't perfect either...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] foxmeister:
Is that what you actually see when you run the XDA app?

I use full fat Tapatalk myself, but I downloaded the XDA app and see far smoother gradients than that!

I'm running ICS LPY at the moment, and prior to that I was on ICS LP6. I used to see the "black crush" issue all the time watching videos on GB, but since moving to ICS I don't think I've seen it once.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] truelies1:
I believe it's Samsung over saturated. I think this problem happened to some movies, not all. I didn't find this on transformer 2007 720p.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] paleh0rse:
I hope you guys realize that screencaps don't actually capture what is being displayed to your eyes; rather, they capture what the OS intends to display (or what your OS "thinks" is being displayed). For that reason, the black crush problem cannot be captured in a screencap.

In other words, you need to take a picture of your screen with an external camera in order to capture exactly what is being displayed to your eyes.

Make sense?
