I ever seen the default colours to be awesome, so go figure how trained my eye is... :cyclops:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosdaman:
I know why it is coming out green. Nexus 4 has a pentile screen. Display tester forces all the pixels to turn on when it is on the white screen because the dev probably assumed an equal number of pixels per color when creating this app. That's why white is still shows up white on your screen, even though the gamma test shows a green tint on white.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagaetch:
Nexus 4 doesn't have a pentile screen...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yokuyuki:
It's a True HD IPS Plus screen.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosdaman:
Hmm alright then, never mind.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halluci293:
I have always had the green tint in display tester, regardless of stock/custom/recommended gamma settings.

For those of you who calibrate using display tester, I think the intent of the gamma screens in display tester is to match the center of each gamma bar to the edges, and ignore the background strips between each gamma bar.

Regardless of the above, display tester uses a 1 pixel density checkerboard in its gamma calibration screens. I believe this is wrong because of the following: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/sharpness.php

If you view the above page on a computer monitor, you should ideally see that from a distance, all of the blocks are the same shade. Each block consists of alternating black/white areas in different configurations, each of which average out to 50% white/50% black, so should appear at 50% luminance from a distance: 1 pixel density checkerboard, 2 pixel density checkerboard; 1 pixel density stripes, 2 pixel density stripes. If you have a sharpness control on your monitor, you will notice that if you change that control, some of the blocks will appear lighter than others. Furthermore, you may start noticing color tints in the different blocks as a result as well.

What does this mean? It means that depending on whether or not your lcd is at the proper sharpness setting, differences in block brightness correspond to gamma differences depending on how many transitions between black to white there are in a given area. In essence, an incorrect sharpness setting causes one pixel's value to bleed into and change the output values of neighboring pixels, skewing the local observed gamma.

The takeaway is this: if your sharpness setting is not optimal, calibrating gamma to a checkerboard pattern means that you may be overcompensating since a 1-pixel checkerboard has the maximum possible 0-255 transition density, leading to the maximum possible observed effect due to bad sharpness calibration. Parallel strips (the images in the franco app) reduce the number of 0-255 transitions by an order of magnitude, and thus amplify bad sharpness calibration less than a checkerboard (although it may not fully solve the problem). Further decreasing the test image transition density alleviates this issue even more, but makes it harder to objectively 'see' the average color over a block. Since in practice, images that you view will not have extreme luminance transitions at a very high density within a constrained area, you should try and calibrate your gamma using a test image which suffers less from sharpness miscalibrations.

Also, the color tint is probably due to miscalibrated sharpness causing subpixel variations in the green channel.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yokuyuki:
Regardless of which color profile I had for greys, the area between bars was always a green tint. I always assumed I was supposed to compare it to the bars on the edge as it didn't make sense the other way. I think the green is there to provide some contrast so you can see the bars.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosdaman:
Well, instead of using display tester, I decided to focus on image 2 and 4 in franco app and get it perfect for both with one setting. I accomplished it last night.

I am using rev10 screen and primary. Here are my settings:

Red: 190

Green: 190

Blue: 190

Gray: 23

Mid: 119

Black: 119

Contrast: 21

Brightness: 21

Saturation: 55

White: 4

This gives me perfect results for the test images inside franco updater app.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halluci293:
Nice :good:. They look a bit more 'contrasty' than my original settings. Had to bump grays to 55 for my particular screen for perfect gamma, but that's just the screen variation.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosdaman:
Are you on rev 10 as well? I figured you were because I used your settings as a base. Image 4 was perfect, but gamma was off in a few areas. So I tried just balancing it as much as possible.

The settings probably aren't perfect, as neither are my eyes, and more than likely require some tweaking. I just upped my grays to 55 as well. I just figured this is going to be the only way to get consistent results across one type of screen.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosdaman:
I'm going to keep tweaking the colors until it literally is perfect for rev10 screens. Of course, there will always be minor differences between screens. Hopefully we can refine the settings so much that it does give consistent result that it works for every rev10 screen.

Hell I would even put +/- 5 on all of these settings. I have already adjusted the RGB settings to 190, 185, 180 and it already looks better IMO. Image 2 is nearly flat squares now. Can barely see the center square now.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrone:
is there any method to check lcd_maker_id?

using the dmesg method to see lcd_maker_id seems not working on stock room with busybox 1.20.2 though have rebooted several times. :/

my batch is 212K, hw rev. 11, cpu binning fast.

thanks in advanced. :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosdaman:
I just found that I have 212K rev10 hardware. Still haven't checked CPU bin though...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceejay83:
What does the 212k mean and how do I find how what mine is? I'm on rev10 and your settings only give me the first row of squares to blend in
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosdaman:
It is code for the date and place of where the phone was built.

Doesn't mean too much. I still working on my settings still. I noticed that the mids and lows were still off too. Its easy to get one of the test images perfect, but both at the same time is challenging. I'll get it for us rev10 users, its just going to take some time.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
It's on the box that your phone came in, the start of your serial number. I don't think anyone has tied down a direct correlation between that and screen types though.

Your settings are perfect for me. I've tried almost every other one posted both on this thread and spread across the forum. I even tried my own (which were okay, but not perfect). But I have to say these are the settings that a closest to perfection for my device.

rev 11 - primary display - kernel r95 - feb 2013 build

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosdaman:
Awesome! And you have a rev11 display. Okay I have some new settings I've been working on, that are refined. I'll post them in a bit, so you can test those as well. They are the closest to perfect I've ever been on. Maybe you'll like them even better.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosdaman:
Edit: screwed up, fixing....
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosdaman:
Okay so here are my revised color settings. Tell me how you like them. My goal is a universally usable color setting for everyone. I have a 212K rev10 primary display. I was also at 50% brightness, but that shouldn't matter. I calibrated the color and gamma settings using franco.Kernel Updater's built-in images. Display tester is just horrendous and inaccurate, I do not advise using it.

Specifically concentrating on gamma calibration images 2 and 4, I am able to create an equal balance between all colors. My screen looks ten times better with these settings than stock. I'd please like to ask for everyone to test these settings out, no matter what hardware revision you are. When/if you post your results, be sure to also include your device screen information like I have done so above. Now, let me tell you how the images work. The only two I care about are images 2 and 4, but I'll explain 1 and 3 as well.

Image 2 is used to aid in obtaining realistic colors and gamma settings for white and RBG. With image 2, you are attempting to match the colors of the inner squares to the outer edge of the square by adjusting the color settings. In a perfect case scenario. The square would appear to be flat and one uniform color.

Image 4 is used to help in discovering properly proportioned white, grey, and blacks. With image 4, you are trying to eliminate all non-neutral colors and create smooth black to white gradients. Best case scenario would to not show any other color at all besides black, white, and gray. The gradient would be solid and change consistently from one shade to the next.

The last two images are not necessary, because of you get 2 and 4 calibrated, 1 and 3 will be already set. Image 1 should start with dark gray on both the black and white squares, then proceed to decrease in darkness until the squares are pure white or black. Image 3 is another gradient image where at either end of the color bars should be pure black and pure white. There should also be a smooth and subtle transition from black to white for each color.

So, before I reveal the new settings, please remember that everyone's screen is different. These settings are second to none for my device, though there may still be better undiscovered setting combinations. As well, there may be more than just one setting that works for you. It really just comes down to you choosing the one you like the best.

RECOMMENDED: +/- 2 for each individual setting. If my setup is just a bit off for you, try shifting each of settings up to 2 values larger or smaller

Device's Brightness: N/A

Red: 182

Green: 182

Blue: 182

Gray: 71

Mid: 71

Black: 119

Contrast: 20

Brightness: 20

Saturation: 39

White: 2

I will probably update them again in a week or so after I get some opinions. Thanks everyone!!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagaetch:
Thanks for taking the time to do this! Wanted to share my impressions, using a 211K rev 10 phone with the above settings.

image 1 - black 8, white 252 is where I become unable to see the individual boxes

image 2 - the top row is almost perfect. Blue completely disappears, red is just a hair away from disappearing, and white and green are extremely close.

image 3 - looks good, no banding. the 4th bar, red to white, seems more muted than the equivalent green and blue bars.

image 4 - almost perfect. if I strain, I can see a tiny bit of color, but only if I'm really looking for it.

I played with the settings a little bit and couldn't come up with anything better, but I don't know what I'm doing :)

Having said this, I think I might go back to the app's recommended (Obsanity) settings. Your settings are great and accurate and probably much better for viewing photos and the like, but for my day to day use of email, web, and games, I like having contrast and punch.

Thanks again though!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fozzie:
I really want to like them (and they probably are very accurate) but I just find the screen too dim and the colours too dull...but then I've never really liked any other settings since I started using ceejay83's settings earlier in this thread! (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38209663&postcount=20)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SweetwaterBurns:
Very happy with both of your presets. Everything I've come up with felt way too saturated or had pretty bad banding. Not sure which of the two I prefer, but I'll probably be switching between them once I have the time to compare.

Phone is 301k rev. 11 for the record.

Is there a way i can add the start menu on my rt, I installed pokki my desktop running windows 8,but cant seem to install on my rt.:confused:
[Microsoft Surface] Dane Reynolds:
ha, nope sorry buddy! windows RT is completely different to windows 8, RT is using a ARM processor 'tegra 3' this means the software will have to be made for an arm CPU, that's why it won't work on your rt device. this is also why there is a marketplace for downloading all of your apps....

sorry. :)
[Microsoft Surface] s1l3nt:
you can jailbreak your device using this and then run classic start menu from here. works perfectly on my surface rt
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
Dane, you're actually incorrect... there's a hack available (on this very site, even), commonly referred to as a "jailbreak", that allows running apps which aren't from the store, sideloaded, or from Microsoft on Windows RT. They still need to be compatible with ARM, as you say, but recent .NET apps work fine with no changes, and many C/C++ open-source apps have been recompiled.

Classic Start has been available on RT for a couple weeks now, using this method. Download the jailbreak hack, unzip it and run it, then follow the instructions. Download and install Classic Start following the instructions in the post linked from my thread, List of desktop apps for hacked RT devices, then restart Windows Explorer (or just log off and log on again) and you'll have a Start menu if you want it so badly (I don't get the fuss; on a tablet, the Start screen really is a better option IMO, but it's available).

Also, there is actually a work-in-progress hack to allow running unmodified x86 programs on RT as well, using dynamic recompilation from x86 to ARM code.
[Microsoft Surface] deeman:
Why would you need a start menu on Rt?
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
You actually can... I've got 7-Zip, PuTTY, Gvim, MirandaIM, IKVM (and through it, Burp Suite and some other Java programs), Fiddler 4, Python 2.7, and some other "legacy" programs installed on my RT. I'm working on porting Chrome (it's a chrome-plated ***** of a project, if you'll excuse the terrible joke). I also temporarily install additional apps to test them out as people port them to RT. Finally, I've installed the Win86emu beta, which isn't a legacy program but is a desktop program; it's written especially for Windows RT and allows running (some) x86 legacy apps on RT directly and unmodified.

Hi,

I have been looking for just the right ROM, but I haven't had any luck finding it myself.

Can someone give me recommendations as to which 4.2 ROM would be the best?

I still want the TouchWiz widgets like S planner and S note, and multiview because I use them on a daily basis.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kreateablaze:
None
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] netsyd:
Just to expand on this a bit.. You will not find the ROM you're looking for because one does not exist. Samsung has not released 4.2 for Note 2 - so there are no sources available for anyone to build on.

The apps/widgets you're requesting only work with Touchwiz frameworks - so no 4.2 from Samsung = no 4.2 from anyone else with those features.

Hey everyone,

I am loving the embryo Rom it is nice and usable and it has the TW features that I missed on AOSP Roms. (Especially the lock screen and camera)

Lately, I have been having trouble getting my phone to sleep (notably since the update to 6.3).

I've tried Eugene373's cpusleeper dual core which I bought a while back, and it is not doing much for me.

Anyone have any tips or similar experience?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] edshawn911:
the first thing i would do is download cpu spy. after you do that hit reset timers.

make sure you are not on power cord. after that let the phone sit without touching it for about 10 min.

if it that it is not going in to deep sleep meaning that it doesn't show ever being in deep sleep. i would

first check what programs are running, that could be waking the phone. if that's not the case i would try a different

kernel. just make sure it is one that works for the version of android you are running and that it works with touch wiz

although i can't see why you would use a touch wiz rom when you have cm 10.1 and aokp 4.2.2. lol:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::laugh::laugh:

Hi,

Thanks for the mods,

They are working fine..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] princeferoz:
First thank you for this mod, this is awesome. I was trying to do this myself but couldn't figure out how, so thank you.

The only problem I see with the 0% transparent (black) is that when I uninstall an apk, the background is transparent again but goes black after pressing the back button. Hope you can change this. Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sudhamana:

Yes, I felt the same when I edit or uninstall an app in app drawer, the default screen in app drawer mode comes front and then it goes to black..

Also, when I press app button in home screen, app drawer opens in black correctly, but when I return back to home screen, a sudden flash of default wall paper appear instantly.

To avoid this, I unticked the animator, now I feel comfortable..

I think these are all not a big issues..

So far mod is working so good.

If the above noted points rectified, it would be more fine..

Thanks again for the mods.

Now my app drawer looks awesome..
