Re: [Kernel][28/02][N7100 N7105 R950] Perseus

:)

Thx to both of you!
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] darkinners:
I am using Dell U3011 and calibrated with Spyder 4 Pro(I guess I am on your first category?)

Anyway I don't know why but in real life my monitor doesn't look like under saturated at all but in the photo comparison I posted.

I also noticed my screen gamma and saturation is not right in the photo.

Anyhow, I don't think my monitor can be called "Professionally calibrated" but still I don't think it put on a bad reference either.

The note 2 with master sequence on definitely look a bit too saturated compare to my monitor, Red channel is the most prominent one.

It could be just caused by the fact that different Note's display panel has a little bit different quality, not by the kernel calibration profile itself.

Still I think with master sequence on is MILES better than the default Samsung profile, which I always found it tooooo saturated and too blue or too vivid whatever.

I don't have a Retina iPad but I do have a old iPad 1( I don't use it nowadays, it just sitting somewhere in my house collecting dust)

Or I can try compare with my GF's iPhone 5 later.

Thanks Slimer777, really thank you for the great effort of making this profile and answering all of our questions.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Fish-Man:
So,

I set everything back to default, and made sure I had the "Master Sequence" and "Register Hook" ticked. Then I went to the "White Colour Balance" > "Red in White" and reduced it to what I thought was OK. It is now somewhere between -8 and -10. I've not touched anything else and the display now looks fine TO ME.

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Slimer777:
I am sorry that I missed this VERY important post. This will get us into part 2 of the calibration for Note II.

You ARE supposed to see the heart people, even at Samsung's standard brightness. Go to a dark room or simply put your phone under your desk. The other member who said that his 'calibrated' LCD screen cannot see the heart and so does the Note II and so both are calibrated correctly, WRONG!

Your Note II at this moment is not gamma corrected yet! See, 'calibrated' monitors. I told you not to use any 'calibrated' monitor as a reference!

Colour can be subjective at times but gamma shouldn't be, either you see the heart or you don't. Technical questions are welcomed.

All members, if you want to contribute please bring your phone to a dark place and use the standard browser, enlarge the picture untill the black covers the whole screen. Tell me if you can see the heart in grey. I don't have my Note II on hand but even if I do I would like to see the variations from different phones.

Here's why I adjust the gamma for S3 and not the Note II. The Note II panel is tougher to calibrate gamma because it affect the white balance on different level of stimulus. The second reason is that the Note II crowd seems to have a lot of complains above the 'washed out' screen at the moment and I did not want to add up to the problems. Why put in more efforts for nothing! Now people have calmed down, may be we can move on. Putting the Note II on the correct gamma will make you think the screen is more washed out for untrained eyes but you are missing out on a lot of details in reality. That is why at the moment the SGS3 screens looks better. The gamma on the SGS3 has been adjusted to a perfectly flat 2.22 on the other hand the Note II's gamma is jaggy.

So, if anyone has anymore complaints about the current calibration, bring it out, now or never before we move on.:laugh:

For me after viewing some pics on 500px I realized how natural my display is now , looking forward to the next version with gamma calibrated , hope we don't wait that much :D can't believe how samsung F***D our eyes !!!

Re: [Kernel][28/02][N7100 N7105 R950] Perseus

I put my note under de dash of my car and can clearly see the heart at 20% brightness.

Only master sequence is ticked.

I don't get some people..... This is great!

Edit: my eyes seem to adjust after a day of use.

Colors are not so dull or pinkish anymore.

Also compared to new i pad and color scheme is pretty close!

Again: super job by the both of you.

I think I can't upgrade my phone anymore if my new phone doesn't have this kernel! ( future talk)

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Slimer777:
I know I shouldn't get into monitor calibration but since a lot of you just like to compare it to a monitor, Andrei, bear with me.:highfive:

1. I can't stress enough, don't use colorimeter and especially Spyders. Fellow calibrators will tell you why. Your meter is off by........and the Spyders themselves have quite a gap between samples. I have a lot of professional photographer friends and they don't know nothing about color science or calibration but they take great pictures though.

2. look at the measurement from this review, I randomly picked one because I don't want to spend a lot of time. Even after custom mode calibration, your monitor is not capable to cover full blue gamut. This is one of the reasons why you think the Note II is oversaturated. The second reason is that because the current calibration IS a tiny bit oversaturated in the 100% area because I wanted to even things out and I knew people would want slightly oversaturated colors. But it is very little.

http://www.flatpanelshd.com/review.php?subaction=showfull&id=1288168155

3. As expected, your monitor's standard gamma is way low from 1.75 to 2.1. Even after calibration it does not reach a standard of 2.22.

4. Which software did you use to generate the icc colour profile? I have never seen one that can truly calibrate the monitor even if you use the most expensive spectrometer.

I am not trying to bash your calibration, I am just bringing out the facts that if you really want a calibrated monitor, go buy one with a good panel and custom hardware softwares that goes along with it. Low priced colorimeter will give you peace of mind but it never gets the job done not to mention that it can make it worst.

By all means, take a picture with the old iPad, you will find that the blue candy color looks more like your monitor. Why? because they are both undersaturated.

I repeat, I am not saying the Note II is the perfect reference screen. We are just trying to make it the BEST screen out there amount cell phones!:good:

Master profile is 1000 times better than samy's profile. Andreilux gives us a great lcd display without any cost. And also Slimer777 like professional hand makes the kernel number one in the android community. We respect and support u.

For those, who wants Color. Please stay with samy's dynamic profile cuz u only see wht ur eyes want to see. But the original color tone is bit different on lcd. Be practical.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Slimer777:
Great! but I need to know if there are members out there who CANNOT see the heart. We will collect data, even it out and make adjustments. The point here is to produce a reasonable calibration that fits every single one of you out there.

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Fish-Man:
Nope. I wound the screen brightness from min to max, no heart visible.

Regards,
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Slimer777:
Glad that you are enjoying it. The colours looks different between the N2 and iPad4 because Apple has tuned all their standard displays towards bluish white which taints the whole greyscale to bluish compared to a standard 6500K device. This is not wrong, just preference. All members are welcome to adjust their white balance to their liking, just don't try to tweak the primaries and secondaries.

---------- Post added at 10:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 AM ----------

Ok, you did the right thing. Sweep brightness from min to max to see if it makes a difference but the most important is at standard brightness! We need more feedback.

I was really tempted to tweak the gamma right after first measurement because it doesn't look that good to start with. The more feedback we get, the sooner you get your update. That is if Andrei feels like doing it as I will not post parameters. :laugh:

Heya!

I too cannot seem to see the heart, tried low to high brightness, but it's ok, I mean I'm not freaking out.

I will patiently wait for updates or instructions from the pros ;) the rest, to my eyes, seems gorgeous ;)

Wierd... Did you do it in a dark place?

And did you enlarge the pic?

I too didn't see it at first but when i put the note under the dash of my car where its dark I saw it clearly.

Edit:

It seems that under normal light the colors seem washed out and in darker areas not so much.

I removed my screen protector and that helps too. Much better.

Getting a more expensive protector today. Hope this helps.

Please people: READ UP.

Question had been awnsered 20 times now.

Just toggle master sequence to on.

Calibration is good.

If not for you than make it so that it better suits YOUR eyes.

Everyone is different.

Multiple calibration profiles to try out in previous pages.

Re: [Kernel][28/02][N7100 N7105 R950] Perseus

@Slimer

At brightness minimum I can barely see the heart if at all. With brightness 20% and higher I definitely see it tho.

Thank you for your effort you put in on this. Respect.

Re: [Kernel][28/02][N7100 N7105 R950] Perseus

I could not see the heart at first, that is until I applied the new kernel and master profile. You need to get all the white off the screen as much as possible so you have a full black screen with just the status bar showing. It helps if you tap the image so it opens on its own otherwise there is a floating social media box that keeps getting in the way.

I can see the heart at a lot of different brightneses definitely between 20 and 80% I have not tried extremes.

Only difference i see on my Note 2:

When i use standaard Samsung settings over saturated....

When i use last settings less saturated an not washed out and not to red....

So for me after testing and testing i use the last setting...

Master Sequencher checked...

Hook ckecked...

SCR checked...

Chroma saturation Checked....

The rest off the settings as they are....

This is my opinion.....

Your Settings are the best for you.....And mine for me....:):):):)

Re: [Kernel][28/02][N7100 N7105 R950] Perseus

Try with only master sequence and register hook checked. The task is to give feedback to Slimer and Andrei with only master sequence checked regarding colors so they can give us the best calibration possible, thus you should try with SCR and Chroma saturation unchecked. Keep in mind this is still an ongoing project.

Re: [Kernel][28/02][N7100 N7105 R950] Perseus

I'm walking with my dogs ( dog walker by profession) and thought where to get better colors than in nature.

This picture is near lifelike and has most colors it. I was amazed how lifelike it is.

You got some red brownish bush on left, white dog. you name it.

Looking at the pic with only master sequence checked makes it almost true to life.

P. S. When i check hook and digital noise reduction camera the screen goes blurry while using camera btw.

The pictures look good just in camera use is extremely blurred out.

Feedback on screen adjustments:

With Register Hook and Master Sequence on, white looks a bit reddish. Enabling SCR and setting Red in White to -50 seems be enough to get rid of the reddish tint on white.

Lets forget about the heart picture. It's pretty much useless after I checked it's stimulus level. If you cannot see this heart thing in a dark place, I am very sure that you have an abnormal and I mean very wrong gamma which is too high.

I made another pattern in the 720 x 1280 resolution that I will post it up later. in order to test this pattern, you will have to be in a very dark room or total darkness is best. Just report back what you all see.

Are we splitting hairs? for what I am going to do, maybe. But if you cannot even see the heart then you are missing out on 5% of details.

There are three things that I am trying to achieve;

1. lower the overall gamma curve of the original Samsung setting.

2. flatten the gamma curve and therefore achieve the desired linearity.

3. lower the low end of the gamma curve in order to reveal low luminosity details.

What we are trying to achieve is 1%. We need to see the last one percent stimulus level. If you are a movie buff and a videophile, you would know that 1% at the low end makes a heck of a lot of difference in dark movies. As for daily driver cellphone, unless you have very sharp eyes, it may not make much difference. But if you use it for a while then flip back to the original gamma, you will notice a difference you may not be able to explain.

Here is the link: http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s420/slimer77889/PerseusGammaTest_zps79fba6ad.jpg

Do NOT try to evaluate this on a browser like IE, they processes the image differently and you will miss out on the lower end. Put it on the phone and use the most simple JPG viewer to view it.

Also tested it on the SGS3, it's tuned gamma is fine but the black floor is not as low as the Note II. But on the other hand, Note II's gamma needs to be adjusted.

View it and tell us what you see, remember, total darkness or else you don't see squat.

I have a question about about audio settings on Stweaks.

After flashing the kernel, I noticed there are amplifier and gains settings that are already preset, are they automatically enabled by default?

If they are, for the next update if it isn't too much to ask,

may I request that there be a master toggle on the top for the Audio enhancement to be enabled/disabled. This is for those already using other audio mods so it does not get doubled up.

Just tested your image

At galaxy note 2 only checked "Master Sequence"

I can see below stuffs.

Level 1

Level 2

Level 3

Level 4

Perseus

At 30%-100% brightness, I can see above things.

under 30% brightness I can only see there is something at the lower test image, couldn't distinguish it's "Perseus"

At my computer monitor, I also can see (in similar gamma fashion of Note 2)

Level 1

Level 2

Level 3

Level 4

Perseus

No problems as well.

Re: [Kernel][28/02][N7100 N7105 R950] Perseus

I think you guys still didn't get the big picture , the master sequence is will calibrated with the help of professional equipments and expert hands and that reddish tint you guys talking about is just illusion because your eyes and brain got used to look at oversaturaed colours and bluish whites , that's why see that red tint , give yourself two or three days to make your eyes used to the new values .

Edit: The only thing that still need adjustment is the gamma level and that will make the image more washed out on that point of view , so you better train your eyes quickly to be ready to move on to the next phase :D
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] EarlZ:

I'm in SHOCK! master setting are awesome!

also set edge ench to interface with untick factory and -20 amount and -128 both radius and thresshold (seems like both radius and threshold are dublicate settings - because when i set radius to -60 and threshold 0 and when i set threshold 60 and radius to 0 i got the same image, also the same image when radius=thresshold=-60).

one question - why we need noise red. for camera if it only onscreen effect - saved image isnt noise reducted.

also i cant see HDR effect.

also master setting image to pinky... yes its like a LCD monitor now, but LCD are pinky )))

just compare a real life and image shows throw camera. with natural display setting they are nearly the same, but the master setiing are more pinky...

seems like need better calibration )
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Slimer777:
With this setting, you are only using the white balance control and nothing else in the colour calibration part of this kernel. If you have to take blue in white down 25 which means you had a very bluish screen to begin with. Is that the case?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] darkinners:
NP man, on Note 2

around 80-100% brightness were very very clear, almost too clear.

Looks like gamma a bit too low setting.

around 30-60% they are totally readable , like most of the gamma level test image.

the background and texts look like only differentiated in 1 or 2 level of gray-scale.

at under 30% brightness, only the text Perseus is visible. Can't distinguish it's written"Perseus" though but can see a gray/white image at the bottom.

Level 1,2,3,4 are all disappeared under 30%.
