Used r68 after testing r67 for one day cause I really don't want to test two kernel at the same one day. (Franco you are working too fast! ) The color looks, well, really impressive. What if some other developer can also come out to improve the mic recording problem.

r68 is flying good. Still adjusting to these colors. I guess the washed out colors on stock Nexus 4 took a toll on my eyes pretty bad

Basically it allows you to do certain finger gestures to either make your phone wake up, screen off, music change, etc. There's a thread for it in the original development section. Not sure if you had PGM before on the galaxy nexus :)

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r53

Nope
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Hanny:
In my personal opinion, I think the gamma colors tends to be quite dark. I am unhappy with the beautiful pictures I previously took with the HDR camera.

And I'm pretty sure that its my eyes' own liking, because back in the Gnex days I still preferred the gamma to remain at 1.0.

I tend to like the screens, more specifically darkness from OEM more (of course after removing the yellow tint with RGB colors by myself)

While comparing the screens of Gnex with N4 since I received it, I feel really more pleasant and comfortable with LG's IPS than the SuperAMOLED cause the colors were too sharp/saturated, sharper than reality that I don't want it. After testing r68 I got the feel of tightness for my eyes, therefore I had to go back to r67 and start messing with the cores.

Of course I know this is a test build about the new gamma colors. Hope I have provided some of a reasonable feedback here and I am on the side of making default gamma the original lightest one, regarding the flash-and-forget theory, while allowing users to adjust the screen to be darker manually, in later nightlies. :D

Btw as you didn't intend to fix the proximity-sensor-restore-color issue in newer test builds, I then wildly guess that its because of the app :p Thanks for your hard work franco.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] k_nivesout:
Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r53

Yep, and gray gamma is pretty out of whack so I flashed to 67 for the time being. Haven't tried the new colors molesarecoming put out today, but they apparently help with both those issues.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] richteralan:
Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r53

Yes. Mostly grey/black banding. Though its much better than the first PA color. Its a WIP. Nothing is final yet. Don't panic.

Edit: the new color version today by moles supposedly improves it and added brightness.

So what's the best color combination for Franco's Nexus 4 Display Control? These new colors are wicked.... But I feel like I have a useless app now
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Ipse_Tase:
Guys...I have an unusual question: I always had unlocked/rooted/non-stock ROM phones, so root was never an issue.

Now I'm getting a Nexus 4 at the same time with the company moving to Mobileiron security (which does check for root).

My question is: any benefit in unlocking the bootloader and installing root+CWM+franco kernel knowing I will have to disable root fairly soon after that?

I can only assume that ALL the benefits from the franco kernel require root to configure and/or start. I guess I have a tiny-tiny hope I can set things up and they would work even after removing root (uv, OC, etc). I doubt it.

Second (and this is a long shot...not sure how many XDA mambers care about Mobileiron): will this app prevent me from doing even OTA upgrades?

Cheers...

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r53

Do any of the kernel versions have the older touch drivers? As I understand it, the new kernel has somewhat poor touch sensitivity. I read a few posts back in the thread that the mod for that isn't working on this kernel.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Vanhoud:
Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r53

You do not have to be rooted to use Franco kernel. All you need to have is unlocked bootloader and then you can manually fast boot flash a kernel, no root required

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] molesarecoming:
if you read the actual commit notes you see that googles "correction" to LG's original setting was not made to get "natural colors," they did it one minute before shipping in fear of banding, cranking gamma to hide it from reviews. thats your "natural" IPS display, a kneejerk reaction from Iliyan Malchev. the argument is tiring; yes, this is ips, it is well capable of stunning colors. but if you crank gamma things are gonna get washed out. todays revision is very different from what you tried already, not dark, not oversaturated, still rich. mailed franco the settings. but as always, things must develop and need time.

btw, from where the sentiment anyway. did you try franco before? it was known to be the most color accurate kernel. on the gnex no kernel i have tried could touch it in that regard. and obviously it was far from googles orangy mess. that has nothing to do with the individual rgb calibration you do at home, this the is the base setting with which the kernel is working internally.

I am on the latest PA test kernel and the colors are near perfect. It may seem darker but that's just cuz we're probably all used to the washed out effect of googles gamma mess.

After using the new colors for a while you won't be able to go back.

Can't wait for Franco to implement the latest settings from moles, that would be the perfect combo. I'll be using the PA kernel till then ^^

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Hanny:
:o I am sorry for making a less knowledgeable post by expressing directly what I felt before digging deeper into colors on my device. But please be assured that I completely respect and acknowledge the work of you and franco which aims to make the screen of our devices better and better. No developer would release **** for their users, but something that you tirelessly worked hard for. I may be subjectively convinced by flowery "natural screen" wordings, but I honestly like the type of the screen of n4 while comparing it with other super amoleds as it does make a difference, regardless of which kernel I have on the super amoled. That is what I was trying to input.

My Gnex was made by docomo in japan and I don't know if that makes a difference. For the adjustable gamma interface I liked 1.0 while some others say they are in love with 1.2 or 1.4. This doesn't directly relate to color accuracy and I was simply commenting about the darkness on r68 has recalled my past experience while testing 1.2 and 1.4 gamma on Gnex. I do totally agree that franco kernel had the best color accuracy on gnex and this truth got further accredited while I compared the screen with my friend using a stock kernel.

And at last I look forward to experiencing your latest revision as im always open to try new things. Thanks for your kind education and hard work :)

You should, if you have the time, perform the hotplugging test again with some mild tweaks. I like to set it to be slightly easier to only a core, and slightly harder to offline a core and also harder to force all cores online, just modifying the values by 20-40 in the kernel settings :)

Ya so after a day of testing the r68, I reverted back to r67, the colours the more I looked at it and several of my friends' Android phones, it looks so unnatural, don't know if it's because of my screen in particular or what not, but icons and everything looks like it went through a dark filter. Colours looked darken, for example, the stock SMS icon is no longer a brighter green background, it looks like a really dark green and whites were no longer white, they were a very dark/dim shade of white, I was able to find an RGB tweak that made it look vibrant now on r67 instead.

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r53

Both dual and quad mode seem equally smooth in the menu. The hotplugging is sligtly laggy at times compared to the other two.

I find the colours more saturated (possibly a bit too much, but acceptable for me). I have to agree though that it's overall brightness is lower and the (otherwise so good) auto brightness doesn't cut it anymore. And even overlooking the need of separate auto brightness control app, cranking up the brightness decreases the battery a lot.

Let's see what the update will be.

I tested one of moles newer kernels from his calibration thread, it was the 2nd revision first variant, and it really did improve color balance and saturation without the "darkness" of his previous settings that franco implemented in r68. Sounds like he's continuing to refine the settings, but the one I tested was a very nice improvement to stock that shouldn't necessitate using a brightness app to keep the screen at a reasonable/readable brightness.
