Rev 10

RGB 255 (set as you please)

Blacks 255

Grays 0

I can't understand why you people keep trying to make your screen look like it's Amoled, tried most of the screen color settings in this post, and all of theme are horribly high contrasty and black! Man this phone has an IPS display which is meant to be bright and more vivid, realistic colors, the stock values indeed need work to get the best out of the screen, but we should be trying to imitate the greatest IPS DISPLAYS like the iPhone 5 or the One X, not the CrapOled samsung displays! I sold my galaxy s3 just because I could not stand that dark display with those saturated colors and whites that looked gray/brown ! Hope some folks would make gamma values to get the best of our bright IPS displays! Maybe I can borrow my friends iPhone and start doing it myself, as much as I hate apple, we must accept the iPhone 5 display looks just gorgeous

Sorry if I offended anyone, it's just my opinion...

Hi guys

I do not know if this is the right place to post this. I got my phone and immediately noticed that the blue colors are not blue but purple. I mean for example when you press and hold in the settings, the battery icon, etc.

Windows example pictures which are blue also show up purple.

I installed Color Hex RGB HEX CMYK Codes app from play, and there if I only move the green slide, its not green. It like 150 red / 255 green / 50 blue. But the red and blue slides are on zero.

Is this a faulty screen or it just needs some calibration?
[Nexus 4 General] jdrials:
All of them have colors that are off... Gamma needs properly calibrated... That's what this thread discusses - different calibrations for the mako screen... You need a custom kennel that supports gamma calibration and then choose a setting from the spreadsheet, apply, and profit
[Nexus 4 General] cgulliver:
Got my N4 yesterday and immediately noticed the washed out display. So have been tinkering with the Faux settings in this thread but haven't found anything that is close to my GS3. I suppose everyone here is on the same quest but I was not expecting to be dealing with this when I got the phone. Pretty big head scratcher for Googles latest flagship. I would like to see a way to import the settings from external profiles rather than manual. Still keeping the phone but the quest continues...
[Nexus 4 General] kwerdenker:
GSIII has an AMOLED, N4 a IPS-LCD display. You'll never be able to achieve the same color saturation on the N4 in comparison to the GSIII due to the limits of these display technologies. That being said, the colors of AMOLED are in reality a bit over saturated and IPS provides much more realistic colors (if properly calibrated). The transition may take some time getting used to but I'm sure after a while you'll enjoy the display of your new N4 :)

[Nexus 4 General] bundi22:
I think i have found the perfect colours for my taste, coming from a Galaxy S2 and S1.

My current franco settings are:

RGB 255/255/255

GAMMA

Grays 0

Mids 87

Blacks 119

Contrast 6

Brightness 0

Saturation 1

Whites 0

It has deep blacks, bright whites, punchy colours. Looks good especially at max brightness! I have compared this side by side to a Galaxy S3 and it is way better in my eyes.

I also tested kel ghu's and hospitals settings but my colors stay way off gamma :/

Can anyone tell me which settings will yield better results on my screen? I want to be as close as possible to 2.2 but it feels like my screen is different from everybody elses...

Either faux's LG and accurate presets, and PA's brighter preset will set you close to 2.2 rgb gamma.

[Nexus 4 General] Beorg:
You don't need to use the colorimeter's software to calibrate your nexus. You won't be setting up a colour profile anyway. I think something like HCFR would be better for accurate calibration, but mind you, it will take some time.

I think the One X is calibrated to be punchy and not that accurate. The iPhone 5 is though. I have one. Tbh accurate colors may be nice but its not the most appealing. I'd say my SGS2 looks better in terms of color. Our eyes are deceiving. We like over saturated stuff just like bass heavy beats.

Added my settings.

I use my Nexus for gaming mostly, so Vivid colors are important to me. These settings give bright whites,vivid reds,purples and blues and look great for gaming. Details appear enhanced and not misty. Maybe a little intense for some users,but it's taken me a lot of adjusting using 'FauxDisplay Advanced Color & Gamma Control' https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teamkang.fauxdisplay to come up with my personal preference.....and I'm sticking with them :)

[Nexus 4 General] IndDoc:
Perfect indeed! Highly recommend these settings. The screen is nearly like an AMOLED screen on these settings.
[Nexus 4 General] LRC1710:
If it looks nearly like an AMOLED is because whites SUCK, whites in Amoled look brown, u might not notice until you compare to an LCD, still hoping for people to work in settings to make it look more like the DROID dna or the iPhone 5 instead of the Crapoled Galaxy's :s

Guys I posted these settings as i was used to AMOLED and you guys seem to like it.

But now i have changed it to better suit the IPS display:

Mids: 39

Contrast: 6

Saturation: 2

Everything else the same

Colours are truer as it is not too vibrant and not as dull (dropping the mids). But still looks amazing. It is probably comparable to the iPhone 5 display now.

If you have had a Samsung phone and prefer the 'dynamic' screen mode (rich/vibrant) then keep the mids higher at around 70-80. Otherwise 20-30s looks perfect with the IPS display and similar to Samsung 'standard' mode (realistic).

really not bad! Punchy colors without being to dark at auto-brightness. But loosing allot in the mid-range, especially visible at the greys (different grey shades get uniform). Will stay with that anyway since it gives nice colors without setting the mood for the dark room :D thanks allot. And if someone finds a way to give some of the mids back it would be much appreciated.

I tried hospital349's colours using FauxDisplay (the translation in the spreadsheet) and it looks horrible, you can't see some blue'y greys at all, extreme contrast and colours, not good at all, I did set it up correctly too so must either be a bad translation or hyperbole or something.

dont change it.. the only change is that greys, mids and blacks are there thrice, under red blue and green.. so you can just input three values (r/g/b) in each of those columns

My first decent cal using an iDisplay3 colorimeter and Chromapure calibration software. Done at 50% Brightness with Voodoo screen test patterns. Needs a bit more refinement before it goes in the spreadsheet. Greyscale is good, just a little too much red in the darks. Gamma at 90% is too low, but mostly near 2.2 Gamut is quite near sRGB, but luminosity of primaries is way off. No idea how to fix that with fauxdisplay.

Anyway, photos and videos still look way way better than stock IMO.

Also shouldn't we be targetting the sRGB gamma with starts at 1 and then rise to about 2.4

The AnandTech review of the iphone 5 is also not clear on this. Apple seem to target a constant gamma. For HDTV / home cinema (Rec 709) I target a constant gamma, but sRGB should be as per the wiki link above. Shouldn't it? Anyone?

[Nexus 4 General] drakenabarion:
Using Franco kernel, I find the built in recommended value blends in all the dark colours so they all look like one dark blob rather then individual colours. Any find detail is lost...

But the quoted color settings retain the fine details while adding a subtle vibrance over n4 stock settings.

If I want to change the default palette, I rather not use extreme differences since the default on my phone is good. Just sometimes the midtones don't always stand out like they should leaving an impression that the images could lack something. Not as extreme as what some people say however. Anyway the quoted setting is rather nice!
