Best, I mean BEST color profile I ever tried on my n4 is Kwerdenker natural. It's in the fauxclock app. It's not just better than stock, it makes my n4 screen perfect. So, I'm done trying various profiles because I found the one that suits my display and my taste perfectly. I highly recommend you guys to try it. Cheers

Can someone plx help me ..!

Everytime i i change the values of RGB ... After turning off screen it automatically goes to default 255 255 255

I used every single app there is trickster,display control, Faux,Kcontol buh nothing worked ?
[Nexus 4 General] pramyhoga:
I've tried trickster and also tried some color setting in spreadsheet, but I dont mention any changes at all except when I edit the RGB. Is that mean my kernel doesnt support gamma/grayscale edit? I used franco kernel plus right now because want to get a longer battery life.

Sorry if this is a noob question :D

I'm a total noob to color calibration. The explanation in the OP of the difference between gamma, gradient, and basic is pretty vague. Are they just different scales that ultimately produce the same effect?

I compared my n4 screen with bundy 44 iPhone profile with iPhone 5 and it looks very very similar. Maybe our screens are different. Try bundy 43, it's more brighter and saturated than bundy 44

iPhone 5S profile

I agree with you. None of the profiles match the iPhone 5. I spent a couple hours the other day, with an iPhone 5s solely for this purpose, and loading the same set of photos (dark ones, light ones, etc) on the the 5s and my N4 (stock 4.4.2 + franco.kernel) for a wide range comparison.

Here are 2 profiles I came up with, for you guys to try, let me know which is closer to the iPhone 5 for you. I am confident both are closer than any of the previous attempts so far. I started with obsanity as a base and tweaked it further.

sordna_5s_g:

255 248 240 119 119 119 0 0 0 119 119 119 23 23 23 0 7 119

sordna_5s_w:

255 250 243 0 0 0 119 119 119 119 119 119 23 23 23 0 7 119

Your detailed feedback is appreciated, so I can try to improve. I developed these profiles with the Franco Kernel Updater app.
[Nexus 4 General] defffizz:
On my screen, both profiles look pretty bad. It's the proof that our screens are different, I believe they look good on your screen. First profile is completely off, second is better but photos look solarized, posterized. For my screen best color profiles are bundy 43 and 44, and otariq 37 (which I'm currently using, it has better saturation and contrast than those two without screwing up people's faces in the photos).

Nexus 4, 4.4.2, franco
[Nexus 4 General] sordna:
Thanks. Wow, good to know that screens can be so different . On the Nexus 5 thread people are finding the same.

Heck, I've even seen iPad 2's side by side with different color balances.

This manufacturer inconsistency sure throws a wrench in profile sharing -:(

Does obsanity look ok to you? If so, I have a slightly tweaked version, where I only change brightness and rgb, to bring the color balance closer to the iPhone 5 I was experimenting with:

255 248 240 0 0 0 119 119 119 119 119 119 7 7 7 0 7 119

But if obsanity is not your thing, above will not look good on your screen either.

Thanks for the valuable input!
[Nexus 4 General] defffizz:
Yeah obsanity doesn't look good on my screen. Colors are very nice and saturated and contrast is good, but photos (people's faces) look terrible. Maybe I could take a photo of my screen to show you (compared to profile that looks good, bundy 44). To lot of other users obsanity looks great, so one of them should try your profiles, I'm sure they will look totally different from what I see :)

[Nexus 4 General] rrohanjs:
my eyes have got use to stock lg colors i guess lol .. any other profile seems kinda off now ..

initially i hated the screen coming from superamoled screen of gnex ..

i guess its all about your eyes getting use to it ..
[Nexus 4 General] defffizz:
I know what you mean.. Only couple of custom profiles dont seem off when compared to stock. For me stock actually isn't bad at all, it seems people adjusted their eyes to oversaturated displays which I don't like at all. Compare n4 screen with computer monitor and you will see they are very much alike (in most cases n4 looks more colorful and vivid). n4 screen doesn't burn my eyes like amoled and other oversaturated panels do, I'm literally resting my eyes while I'm looking at it. But people aren't impressed with that, they want more color, more contrast, more saturation, more wooow effect, and now we have so many amoled custom profiles for n4 which replace realistic, bright, vivid and soothing colors of IPS display with dark, muted, dull, oversaturated, solarized colors without the proper gray scale. I myself like stock colors, but I'm currently rocking franco kernel and his display control app, and I found only these profiles to be pleasing: bundy profiles (43 and 44), otariq 37 (little bit too saturated but doesn't mess with how people's faces look on photos) and my favourite, masterleros, which I'm currently using, i like warm whites it gives, although some may say it's too yellowish, and faces don't look all white and contrasty (like some photoshop bleach filter has been applied) like with other profiles, it's great all around.

Cheers

This is my new color profile I've been working on for quite long. It looks great on my screen, it's balanced, bright, warm, photos look accurate and skin tones are natural. I made it using franco display control app, and comparing my n4 (with this profile) with the iPhone 5 in close to 200 photos, and as much as I'm trying to be objective, I can't say iPhone looks better. Maybe this profile is what you have been looking for, give it a try.

You need a custom kernel. I recommend Franco.kernel since it supports gamma controls and provides better battery life and less heat than stock.

Hey guys,

My dad got Xperia Z1 compact. It's just the right phone for him. It has a very nice camera, it has an average sized HD screen, water & dust proof, easy to use, etc and he likes Sony. I couldn't help but notice that the colors on the z1 colours are more vibrant than my nexus 4 despite the fact that both the phones use the same displays[educate me if I'm wrong! ;)] I'm on faux kernel and have tried most of the popular colour profiles. But except for the yellow tint on the xperia the colours are atleast 25 percent more vibrant and the display remains brighter even if I try the stock nexus 4 colour profile. How is that? Can anyone come up with a profile with colors similar to the xperia z1 compact??? It's REALLY BUGGING me.. I was going to buy the xperia zr but 6 months ago it was 80-100 USDs more than the N4

I searched on the forum and also googled but I wasn't able to find an xperia colour profile for our nexus 4 and even for the nexus 5. Not that I found it for any other phone but still the point is; I'm I the only one who likes Xperia Colours? I wouldn't mind the yellowish screen if the colors are as lively and vibrant as on the Xperia line. I know that newer Xperias have a triluminous display but that didn't seem to affect colour reproduction. I've used Xperia X8 before my N4 and I've also had a very good look at my brother's Xperia Ion. They both reproduce nearly same colours but the viewing angles on the Ion suck. Both these phones are ages old compared to the nexus 4 but still produce more punchy, rich and vibrant colors!!! How is that?? The thanks giving Turkey? looks some much more on my low resolution Xperia X8 but on the other hand colours inv the nexus 4 with the bundi iphone 4 profile are more realistic and whites are whites and not yellow like on the Xperias. Ion and the X8 have an inferior TFT display with 16.2 million and 256K shades of colour respectively whereas the N4 has an advanced TFT ie, IPS display which offers 16.7 million colour shades. But still the Xperias produce better and attractive colors than the N4!! How is it?

I'm just a researcher and haven't studied a single thing about the various types of displays.

If the colours on the xperia are more gorgeous due to all those engines(like mobile bravia) stuffed in them can anybody help me by posting a link for a port if it exists!?

Thanks for reading such a long text! :D
[Nexus 4 General] Kaka88:

[Nexus 4 General] kwerdenker:
DISCLAIMER: The following is to the best of my current knowledge but I haven't looked into kernel/color control on the Nexus 4 in a while, so there might be inaccurate/wrong information contained in it.

There are two different color control interfaces for the Nexus 4. One by faux and one by franco. The interface in other kernel are based on these two as far as I know. faux's variant is the more "complete" version because it allows access to the whole range of register options for color control on the Nexus 4 hardware while franco's version has a more limited variant that has some of these registers fixed to certain values.

Both interfaces are incompatible to each other so if you are on a franco-based kernel, you won't be able to use his app to set the color and vice versa. That's why you can't find the amp settings in your app. It's part of faux's interface and thus not supported by neither franco's kernel nor app.

I hope this was the information you where looking for :)
[Nexus 4 General] mkmck:
Yeap, now it is clear. I'll try it out in a future. Maybe You know, is somewhere any FAQ about calibrating on Faux kernel?

Here's my profile for Xperia Z1 Compact for Franco

It is the best what I could do with franco's callibration tool. The Xperia's display is still brighter. They both are IPS displays, but still different IPS displays. Colours are almost exactly the same, but on about 90% brightness on the Xperia. And don't look at gamma in Display Tester. It is not even close to 2.2. Actualy it's almost the same on both displays.

And don't forget to disable X-Reality Engine on Xperia (works only in Album and Movie apps) in face-to-face comparison ;) it is something unattainable for our Nexuses (or maybe on faux? ;P ). Actually I don't know, how Sony can make it. Display on Xperia Z2 looks like an Amoled. It is more saturated than every LCD I've ever seen before.

So:

RGB: 255 241 225 (about 5500K in Lux app)

Could be less, about 5200-5300K, but when whites are the same on both, greys become too yellowish...

greys: 0

mids: 87

blacks: 119

whites: 2

greys: 0

mids: 87

blacks: 119

whites: 2

greys: 0

mids: 87
