Sorry for format, forum boards dont like extra spacing.

And coincidentally @cpufreak3, these do remind me a lot of my Gnex. The boldness of the colors with more precision.

Just wanted to say Happy Lunar New Year to everyone! Chúc Mừng Năm Mới ^_^

I will be celebrating with family and friends today so forgive me on being slow with updating the spreadsheet. I will update it with all of the new settings from FauxDisplay and the added values here sometime today or tomorrow. Have fun to all who are also celebrating!

I can't seem to make settings stick. After a while they just go back to the normal settings and I have to go move a slider to make them work. How can I stop this?
[Nexus 4 General] juliano_q:
That's great! I was using undercover settings for some time, now trying this one and really liking it.
[Nexus 4 General] cpufreak3:
Is this with the LG or google preset? And how's faux display different than faux clock? Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] MatAuc12:
As faux explained earlier in his own thread, 90% of the adjustments can be done with gamma amps which are available in fauxclock, the extra settings in fauxdisplay are for fine adjustments.

The settings I posted are with "custom preset" which has to be ticked in faux display.

I do not know if with just amps control the colors are similar. If it looks way off, it probably needs faux display to be effective settings.

PS. You do not need faux clock for faux display to work.
[Nexus 4 General] cpufreak3:
Okay I got faux display. Looks pretty good, thanks!

As above, I can't get the settings to stick because of faux clock.. whats the work around?
[Nexus 4 General] MatAuc12:
Apparently, this should work. In this order. Clear both apps data (backup up settings first as this will reset them), set both apps to customs preset, untick set on boot, reboot, open faux display first.

Hopefully the need to do that will get fixed at one point.

So the settings are in the range of what you were looking for?
[Nexus 4 General] heat361:
It should work unless your using molesarecomings kernel.
[Nexus 4 General] Dovucoe:
I bought FauxDisplay and I don't have any gamma settings.

I'm using the stock kernel though. Is this the cause? Just want to make it work, so to get gamma I need to use a custom kernel with gamma support?
[Nexus 4 General] droidmeup:
Hi, normal stock kernel don't have gamma support. You need a modified stock with gamma or any other kernel that supports faux gamma code.

We need someone with a professional calibration tool and knowledge to get it as close as possible to 2,2 for us without neglecting the whites. o:
[Nexus 4 General] Chad_Petree:
Are you sure ? I'm pretty confident that the stock kernel (of course rooted) lets you tweak the gamma ...
[Nexus 4 General] juliano_q:
That's not correct, I only use the stock kernel and I can change all gamma values. You just need to be rooted.
[Nexus 4 General] jholmes5:
It won't make any difference. As has been noted several times, every phone's display is unique and what values work for mine, will not provide the same effect on yours.When we used to calibrate monitors,we would have to calibrate each one individually, a global profile did not work.

It seems to me that instead of trying to find some magic number, people should use the tools provided and tweak them to find what looks best to their eyes.
[Nexus 4 General] MatAuc12:
While that is true, there is a definite similarity in which attributes needs tweaking and sharing these datas have at very least successefully proven to be a guideline or starting point. So there is no harm done in sharing values.
[Nexus 4 General] jholmes5:
I agree in principle, but in practice I think that when people ask for an exact calibration, they are looking for a number to plug in and expect perfect results; as opposed to having a starting point to work with.

That's my only point, if people expect a global calibration to result in a perfect display, they are setting themselves up for disappointment and we're seen that in this thread. If they want a global calibration to use as a starting point, then you are right, there's no harm in having one.
[Nexus 4 General] ruzkay:
it will make a huge difference over the google stock ones, the stock ones look horrible and have bad banding issues on a grey screen its clearly visible

if person a makes a calibration that looks good to them and person b takes their calibration he will be much closer to his goal then if he would start nothing

some people (like myself) have no idea what the values do... and when someone makes a good preset it helps a lot
[Nexus 4 General] Guto ViP:
I agree, here is @Undercover?! :p
[Nexus 4 General] MatAuc12:
If you would read or at least take 31microunits of brain power you would see that this thread has over 80 values and people discuss and give their opinions. I wonder how many of them besides you think that those values are supposed to be perfect.
[Nexus 4 General] winner00:
I think the spreadsheet will need some adjusting now that franco's kernel supports gamma control and uses different values then faux's. Francos's doesn't have the 24 things you can adjust (a bit much don't you think?). His has whites, mids, blacks, contrast, brightness, saturation, and grays which is really all you need since those are almost all the values you could adjust if you were hardcoding them into the kernel. He based it off how PA did it so it should allow the best gamma adjustment.
[Nexus 4 General] resynx:
I'm going to be updating the spreadsheet tonight. Have been a bit busy lately :eek:

Edit: Excuse the half finished / edited new values on the spreadsheet, I need to discuss something before I finish.
[Nexus 4 General] resynx:
Presets?

I will look into Franco's implementations when I can and add them to the spreadsheet soon :good:

Thanks for these, they're gorgeous :victory:

Edit: Will add RGB coloring to the new added values tonight so it is easier to read and not so confusing.
[Nexus 4 General] cpufreak3:
Got it working. Thanks.

In terms of color, they're the closest out of all the posts to amoled. I'm gonna miss amoled though
[Nexus 4 General] kwerdenker:
They truly are great, just a bit too contrasty for me. I'm still experimenting but taking the amps down to something between 16/21 and 21/26 eases that.

It's fascinating to see what can be done with the display in our phone. Also I'm shocked why nobody at LG or Google was able to do something like this. LG clearly knows how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BcT-c4IKNk ;)

lol, I feel jipped for purchasing faux's kernel application in hopes of being able to control the display, just to have another app be able to do more than the kernel app itself in terms of display calibration.
[Nexus 4 General] winner00:
Get francos app and kernel. Much better IMO. Doesn't require a screen off and on to change gamma values. Its a lot more simple also and I believe you can get better colors also. Doesn't require 2 apps either messing with each other.
[Nexus 4 General] khaltire:
Has anyone actually compared the Nexus 4 to an LG Optimus G? Perhaps this should be a starting point as they both use the exact same display. I compared them in a store today, LG has amazing colors, contrast and brightness. I would give the Nexus 4 display a 4/10 compared to the LG version.

I would also like to point out that none of the settings in this thread come remotely similar to what the display is supposed to be like, according to LG's setting

I should also point out that choosing LG Presets in Faux's app looks nothing like the actual LG Optimus G's settings. Not exactly sure where this notion of "LG PRESET" came from.

Anyone care to elaborate?
[Nexus 4 General] wilsonlam97:
+1, no offense but faux's kernel and app sucks hard compared to trinity's. I bought both and trinity does way better. Performance wise trinity blows faux out of the water.
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Try these ones.

All 255

Amp0 all 31

Amp1 all 23

Just with trixter.
[Nexus 4 General] kwerdenker:
My idea would be to split up the spreadsheet into three different worksheets. Besides RGB there is no overlap in the options you get on franco and faux, so you are wasting a lot of columns either way. Having a sheet each for the different kernel gamma types would make the whole spreadsheet more structured thus easier to read and find values.
[Nexus 4 General] jayeshrc:
agreed, MatAuc12's settings are good, but a little too much. a little too much saturation and blacks.. dont know how to fix it with faux's new controls lol.

Can anyone break down the new settings so we can understand whats happening? i'm sure we can get a perfect calibration with it
[Nexus 4 General] ruzkay:
if the optimus g display looks so well as some people say dont we just need to look into the optimus g kernel and copy the values?
[Nexus 4 General] brar.arsh:
Good Point as both are running similar software..

But a developer can better tell us the real solution..

EDIT: I purchased Faux Display, but whenever I restart the phone, Gamma values get changed.. :(

I dont have Faux Clock app, is it mandatory to purchase it as well with Display app?? :( Values doesnt stick.. :(
[Nexus 4 General] CptanPanic:
Yes I agree, should split up the types on different sheets.
[Nexus 4 General] chrisgtl:
Can the spreadsheet owner lock row1 so when we scroll down we can still see the column headings?

Ok later on today I will be splitting up the spreadsheet into multiple sheets (as per request), and I think it's a great idea to do this as it will keep things cleaner. I'm gonna get on this tonight :good:

1st for basic RGB / Gamma Control

2nd for Faux's new settings

3rd for Franco's new settings
[Nexus 4 General] eep2378:
Good idea. Faux's app uses different terminology than Franco and TKT. Same results though when properly setup. Possibly group TKT with Franco? Their apps are pretty much the same regarding color gamma controls.

RGB, 248, 240, 240

Gamma settings:

Whites 50

Blacks 75

Grays 20

Mids 90

[Nexus 4 General] resynx:
So Trinity has the same settings as Franco? Brightness, contrast, saturation, etc.? That's convenient so we don't have to start another sheet^^
[Nexus 4 General] khaltire:
Yes, someone really needs to extract setting from optimus g and post them or do whatever needs to be done to replicate those screen settings. They are literally eye popping and incredible. Any takers

[Nexus 4 General] kwerdenker:
If you need/want any help with it, just send me a PM. It was my idea after all, so I shouldn't let you do all the work :)

I second that. Very good starting point. If you have problems with screen tint (yellow/blue/etc), try to adjust the RGB values. If the color saturation is a bit to extreme for your taste, take town the amp 0 values.

My current variation is R 250 G 245 B 250 and Amp 0 R 21 G 16 B 21 (everything else copied from MatAuc). For my eyes and on my display, this balances the greys in a more natural tint than the original values from MatAuc. Those tinted the greys pruple and made the colors a bit too oversaturated for my taste.
[Nexus 4 General] resynx:
Can someone answer a quick question for me, does Franco have amp 0 and amp 1 in his new settings? Almost done editing the spreadsheet..
[Nexus 4 General] resynx:
Added all :good:

Thanks for the suggestion kwerdenker :highfive: Haha don't worry about it, I've already finished updating it! :victory:

Edit

Update: Because of the growing size of the spreadsheet / the increasing amount of features coming in, I have split the spreadsheet up into 3 sheets. Sheet 1 is Basic, Sheet 2 is Grey / Gradient & Sheet 3 is Gamma. A quick explanation:

Basic - basic RGB values along w/ amp 0 and amp 1

Grey / Gradient - Faux's new settings (grey and gradient scales)

Gamma - Franco's new gamma settings

This will keep the spreadsheet looking more organized instead of having everything crammed into one sheet, enjoy! :cowboy:

FauxClock will now have 2 factory presets to use for adjustments as well.

Google Presets (default)

LG Presets (LG's preset which was overwritten by Google in the Kernel, I have now brought it back via my app ;) )

Have fun tweaking and make sure you specify which factory "preset" profile you used!
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
How do you find LG preset?

Edit. As of how do you personally like it?
[Nexus 4 General] Girn:
Tried that a while ago. Didn't help
[Nexus 4 General] faux123:
Both are in the kernel source. The problem with kernel is that only 1 profile can be used at anytime(esp with stock kernels). FauxClock is able to store both profiles into the app's memory and change it on the fly.

So far I've only played with Google's Preset using one of the gamma values from the spreadsheet (I believe it's the one with ipad. It may not be color accurate, but I like my colors a bit warm ;) ).

With LG Presets, now you can have a WHOLE new sets of values to play with :D

[Nexus 4 General] nawoa:
I'm still running on stock for the moment but I've contributed by adding an "averages" line at the bottom, it might be of some use, I don't know. People with unusual taste in their color might easily throw it way off base.

It's set to average the data between lines 1 and 99, so if lots of people add their data it'll need to be moved down and have the formulas adjusted accordingly.
