[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Windows X:
I thought people refer to IPS white as cool tone with add of blueish tone. 3.3/205 is closest to IPS white using blue color tone fix. However, I suggest to use green color tone to fix instead as default color has red problem not yellow.

saturation: 8.1

hue: 165

This is natural light with original backlight from Xperia Z screen.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] ZeDestructor:
There is always some variance between panels, such is the nature of all electronics, so identical settings causing differing colours on different panels is nothing new or surprising.

There is no such things as "IPS white": you can hit 6500K on TN (and its variants), VA (its variants) and IPS (all variants) with some tweaking. The real benefit of IPS is the better colour tracking (accuracy across the entire gamut) and viewing angles. There's some contrast loss and a minor white tint from the pixel grid when viewed sideways, but it appears suddenly at 15° or so and remains relatively constant all the way up to 85° off centre, something cheap VA and especially TN (since they're essentially all cheap panels. Anything better is VA, or increasingly, IPS) panels do less well (expensive VA, and to a lesser extent TN, panels are easily as good, I have high-quality examples of both side-by-side with my desktop IPS screens - A dell 2408 S-PVA panel an the excellent 1920x1200 TN panel in my E6500 laptop, its so good I thought it was a VA panel at first!).

EDIT: regarding colour accuracy (that includes white point adjustments, or what is being referred to here as getting the correct white): you have to go in and try for your individual devices, because as I have said before, the same panel model can have differences in performance, even within the same batch (less severe than with different batches usually).

As an example, here is a shot of my two Dell U2410 IPS screens: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/myrpu56gj6zamir/0owi92bjGB . As you can see, the left U2410 is visibly greener than the right U2410 (centre screen) one (the rightmost one is my Dell 2408 S-PVA screen)
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
Never though of this setting, it look quite accurate. Now I stick with 3.1/210 as I notice this setting will remain when go in back the white balance, no need reset as value not change.

I try your setting, it is obvious greenish. Not my favor.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Windows X:
You're right. It looks greenish. I reduced it to 3.3/165 and now it's plain white.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] BR4DOKYBrazil:
There's no way to make an ordinary file .apk ?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
Your new setting no more greenish. :)

But I decide stick with 3.1/210 for now. :)

Edit: After retest your setting, I find it actually much better, smooth to eye, better black and more near to white I like.

I use 3.3/165 now. :) everyone shall try out this setting.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] nazrin313:
Lol great find..testing this now for a few days..sooo far liking it
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] thienbrand:
How about.

7.8

200

I'm starting to like it now.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] eddietah:
Cool I just apply this setting and will monitor for a few days :)
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Aresmar:
I prefer more warm color range as I prefer it on my tv when watching movies. I am closer to it by settin it 3.1 - 65 at the moment.

Try it you may like it after a while. It is easier to human eye naturally too.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] d3athAdd3r:
is there a way to completely lower down the saturation levels? like to make the screen grayscale ?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] rotkiv3451:
Does this work on CM10 for the Xperia Z?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] andyvdsteen:
Doesn't do anything on CM10.1.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] guybrush2099:
with new firmware .253 the things seem to be changed...default contrast is better and it needs different changes...

do you have new settings to suggest, to go closer the best "real" white?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Windows X:
I think new default is already white enough to stop complaining about bad screen color. If you prefer cool tone, maybe you should try 190-220 range with values around 1.8-3.3

For those who want to give it a try

saturation: either 1.8 or 3.3 depending on your preferences

hue: 195

Maybe more white similar to previous popular settings. I prefer new default at the moment though.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] key_3:
if i update the firmware .253, the new white settings take the place of the apk installed from this thread?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] KP_:
Running 1.8 saturation and 195 hue and it seems a bit better to me than stock
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Windows X:
Because stock color has white balance tone slightly to warm for some people so adding little blue will shift tone to cool a little.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] DoubleYouPee:
I'm sorry I haven't read the whole topic.. but is there a general consensus regarding good settings? Or is the ZL different from Z?

I have a ZL with 434 firmware.

Thanks
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
If you already update to latest firmware .253, they is no need for any white balance change already, as it is white enough and kind of accurate color. :)
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] DoubleYouPee:
Well .253 isn't officially available yet for ZL 6503...

1-Copy the apk file to system/app.

5-reboot.

Sure you must be rooted.

[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] hush66:
1. Download the zip file in the 1st post of this thread.

2. Unzip the file.

3. Inside the WB_bymw1kaduxx972fixe\system\app folder, there is a whitebalance.apk file. You need to copy this file to your phone's system\app folder. Remember to set the permissions to rw-r-r.

4. Inside the WB_bymw1kaduxx972fixe\system\lib folder, there is a libdisplayservice.so file. You need to copy this file to your phone's system\lib folder. Remember to set the permissions to rw-r-r.

5. Inside the WB_bymw1kaduxx972fixe\system\lib\hw folder, there is a libdisplay.default.so file. You need to copy this file to your phone's system\lib\hw folder. Remember to set the permissions to rw-r-r.

6. Reboot.

7. Go to Settings -> Display and you should be able to see the White Balance setting.
