Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r70

Love the fact that it operates like r62 nut have the automatic option of r61!

So far no lags whatsoever... Battery shouldn't be so different than r62 I believe.

Thanks dude.. I knew you weren't waiting until tomorrow to drop the new build ;)

Interesting you have cpu0 and cpu3 online instead of cpu0 and cpu1. Why is that?

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] James086:
The benefit of having cores 0 and 2 active would only apply if the cores are laid out in a square on the die (so 0 and 2 are diagonally opposite each other) and you were fully loading a 2 threaded process. The cores would thus be more spread out allowing better heat transfer away from the chip. I'm not sure of the layout of the Snapdragon S4 die but realistically there isn't a situation where you want two cores at 100% load and the others off so as has been said, it doesn't matter which cores are offline or online.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] visceralpsyche:
Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r70

r70 colors are unfortunately now blowing out the whites completely, causing solarization of the RGB channels. This is with both 255,255,255 as well as Franco's recommendation of 245,245,252.

Franco, please make sure that you are at the very least not clipping the channels as this is what causes the effect I'm talking about.

Mid grey is also set too low, causing skin tones etc to appear too dark and muddy looking.

At least the default color settings for r69 didn't have these symptoms anywhere near as much.

I really hope you can implement the ability to alter gamma, levels, contrast and saturation soon, along with internally making sure that you don't clip any color channels at default settings, as the current settings make photos look really unnatural.

With color correction, the overriding goal should be to only ever use RGB and Luma curves between 0 to 255 to adjust your values. Pushing the values above those limits is what causes the blown channels and solarization effect I'm seeing now.

I'll try to mock up an ideal color correction interface for you to show you how best to implement what I'm talking about. Be back soon!

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Joga5000:
I'm noticing the same thing. I loooove the work that Moles is doing with the colors (default calibration is awful), but the r70 implementation is, as mentioned above, blowing out the whites. I have some photos with a gray/white cloudy sky with really severe dithering.

Moles posted a new config, "Halfbreed," in his thread that looks *really* nice.

Though as others have mentioned, some people have different screens/preferences, so if it's not possible to change all of the gamma settings via software it might be a good idea to have a "stock calibration" and "tweaked calibration" versions of the kernel.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] alanwyl:

Colors will never be right. Everybody has their own opinions of what color is "perfect" or right for them. This will always be an uphill battle.

Color calibration mockup interface

Ok, so I have created a mockup interface for what I think will help set proper calibrated color (when holding your phone up next to a calibrated source, such as a PC monitor calibrated with a hardware device etc).

This is based on color correction software I use professionally in my day job, simplified for use on our phones.

From top to bottom, here's how it works:

1. The greyscale chart shows all values from black (0.0.0) to white (255,255,255) unaffected by alterations, so you have a constant visual reference to see if you are blowing out the whites or crushing the blacks. These could be made into step charts with numbers to make distinguishing the high and low ends easier.

2. A five point Luma/Red/Green/Blue chart with points at 0,25,50,75,100 percent of the X axis (my alignment may be a little off but you get the idea). These points just move up and down, pulling the curve in the appropriate direction and changing the numerical values below each curve selector button.

3. Selector buttons choose which curve you wish to adjust - Luma, Red, Green and Blue.

4. Numerical values which reflect curve adjustments from the chart in real time. These could also be inputted by tapping on the numbers directly and typing the values in (between 0 and 255 for each point).

5. Saturation slider, from 0 to 255, with numerical value which can be directly inputted as well, where 0 is monochrome and 255 is SAMOLED levels of saturation (or whatever the maximum possible value is for our phones).

6. Gamma slider, from 0 to 4.0, where the 2.2 default values match calibrated 2.2 gamma for our phones.

Hitting the back button would automatically save all values and take us back to Franco's color options page where we could save profiles, load them etc.

Whilst I have created the mockup, I am NOT a programmer and have no idea how to implement this in software, so if you like what you see, please help code this up so that we can all benefit by finally being able to fully control the color on our phones.

I would like to see this interface, or something very similar, be part of EVERY kernel (and even in stock Android), so that each and every Android phone can be properly calibrated by the user if he or she chooses to do so. That way we have unlimited options and can not only properly match reference monitors (crucial in my line of work), but we can decide to adjust our phones any which way to set up the displays just how we like them.

I hope this mockup becomes the first step in making this a reality!

Thanks to all the people who give feedback and most of all, thanks to Franco for your tireless and amazing efforts in making our phones as good as they can be!

Cheers! :)

You have no idea what you are talking about. Colors can be accurate. However, if we are going to avoid accurate colors and just go with a preference (whether that is PA's or otherwise), then we should also have the factory colors as an option.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] dragas89:
Great kernel, every thing runs as smooth as butter. The only glitch I encountered, thus far, was in the color. It would boot with calibrated PA like colors, but when I turned screen off and on, it would crank the whites up, creating a halo effect. Even setting the default values worked-until I turned the screen off again. However, I was able to fix this by setting default values and saving a profile for them using Franco kernel updater. Thanks.
