no reason to appolgy for telling the truth :)

yeah it's not easy to tell the truth in XDA these days, not even in the most friendly way, omni broke my wifes roaming on a 3 months business trip and all i got back is, why should i be responsible, i mean we are talking telephones here and calling inland and abroad as well as sms are the main functions.

however same attitude and all i suggested was to mentions more bugs in the "known issues list" to warn people off should one of theire

core features have a difficult transition.

now why i post this is that i myself, after being over careful to no avail, decided to just give them the facts no matter what anyone

would flame back and start a ****storm, simply don't care anymore because political correctness as well as "bread and games"

has sufficiently brought the whole world close enough to the next great abyss :)

so i'm glad that i'm not the only one and thus wanted to let you know that there are more who don't loose clear sight

just for the feel "my special is the best special" aka fanboyism haha....

good luck and best regards

EDIT: I share the opinion of many that CM goes the way of MS and currently apple as far as their policy for money is concerned

but there is freedom of choice first of all and then still your point is fully valid, any resentments should not cloud the clear view for facts and the rights of others :)

Please stop with the offtopic about devs. Its rude talking behind their backs when they offer you free services that you do not have to flash. Let's try to get back to the original purpose of this thread.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] magnamentis:
no

nothing i wrote here i did not write in that devs thread so no behind back talking at all

just keep it for yourself. there is enough hypocritisysm, more is not needed.

all the statements are true and way undermentioned and not overmentioned.

to make a moral case of it fits well into the spirit of these times and i don't care

this should be about sharing facts and not about a... leeking.

enjoy further and first wipe the dust in front of your own doors.

considering that fact that you need more than 1000 posts to get half the thanks

mean probably that you make such kind of "gutmensch" posts more often instead

of contributing to make things better. and behaviour in case of bugs

is an important part to make this a working platform, i know too many

who gave up and keep quiet or went elswhere.

The "thanks" button was implemented not that long ago. Maybe a 1 year, 1 year and a half ago. If you judge people by their post to thanks ratio then I must be the devil, LOL. I've been here since 2007 when there wasn't a "thanks" button and was more active when CyanogenMod was at its birth but I'm now a lurker and don't receive "thanks". But I do agree with what you have been saying above, just not about the thanks to post ratio cause you're putting me into that box. :D
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] akash3656:
If you really think it's Franco's fault, it's really simple. Learn git, setup a build environment, download Franco's sources. Then revert the recent changes he has done to his kernel source, build. See if the app works. If it doesn't, you reverted the wrong commit. Try reverting some other commit and build.

XDA is a for smart users and is not a place for cry babies. If you aren't smart, sorry you gotta learn up somehow FAST. Or find threads that don't mind OT like the Trinity thread and ask your hearts content. And btw if r31 works fine why the heck are you even complaining. Its not like r31 has major bugs that makes it a total deal breaker to be stuck to r31.

If Franco gets mad, I think he has a reason too. For one he doesn't use cm. So cm issues if he fixes them late, its really your fault for using a ROM that isn't nexus+aosp friendly. Instead of whining, try figuring out which commit or what changes that cm has done that breaks EVERY other AOSP kernel out there and report it on their threads. That way devs can spend more time getting their kernel tweaked rather than wasting their time with cm support.

And yea you should check out the amount of retards posting unnecessary crap when its their fault but instead blame the kernel. Facebook not working? Blame Franco! It's pretty absurd. He tolerates all that rubbish all year round. If you were Franco, I bet you would have gave up on xda long ago.

Sorry for the rant but I just had to.

And if you aren't happy with anyone or their kernel, flash something else! Or revert to stock kernel if you aren't on cm that is.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] franciscofranco:
Ok, read below.

You're a real pain in my arse. I've shown factual evidences that I haven't changed a single bit in the gamma interface - yes factual with git histories - I'm more than interested that people use this app, its free and makes people happy, so why would I make it incompatible on purpose?

Just a small info for you from myfluxi, the guy who wrote the gamma Kernel code:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49316012&postcount=12143

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49318176&postcount=12155

No Kernel code was changed, regarding gamma interface. I've shown the git history compared to myfluxi's and there are 0 differences.

Anyway, just wanted to share that out. And about my attitude, deal with it - at least I'm active enough to help my users answering to all kinds of posts and sometimes ridiculous reports.

This app is not the problem per-se but I would suggest something like this for faux's app to detect the path (now the path is going to be moved to a more standard place, but this info can be useful):

File[] dir = new File("/sys/devices/").listFiles();

for (File f : a) {

if (f.getName().toString().contains("qcom,mdss_dsi_jdi_command_ors"))

return "/sys/devices/" + ff.getName().toString();

}

This would get the correct directory of the sysfs files even if the directory moved around with different ending numbers (.XX). Its a bit "hacky" but store that into a static variable and do it just once on app bootup, profit.

Hope this helps!

How this app works ?? ( dumb ques i knw ) ..what is the best settings to get a negative tint like in iphone ??
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] gpvecchi:
Sorry, I didn't want to be rude. You probably haven't changed anything in gamma code but you changed other things; r31 works, r32 don't. Same app same ROM. It's evidence...
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] myfluxi:
Here is a fix for kernel cooks and app coders: https://github.com/myfluxi/kernel_msm/commit/a689edca68be38eb112925e3a2ee898a47fbb6ca

The new and stable sysfs path is

/sys/module/dsi_panel/*

I never thought this would be absolutely nessecary though but you never know until it happens.

I have zero clue on how color is controlled on the Nexus 5 but on the Galaxy Note 2 the color control kernel came out pretty fast, is it because of how samsung implemented the display driver?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] yorici:
Please use the search button. On the right hand side there is a column with most thanked posts. Read the mag01's posts to understand what the values mean.

[MENTION=5543250]mag01[/MENTION][MENTION=4909585]gpvecchi[/MENTION] and all other people with calorimeters: Is the displaytester app accurate enough for us, those without calorimeters, to make adjustments based on it? Or putting it this way: Do the results(gamma) of the displaytester app match with the calorimeter? Or is it slightly off sometimes? I ask this because the calorimeter returns a value, but the app depends on your eyesight and color interpretation.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] gpvecchi:
Well, I tried with Nexus 4, and I can say that my eyes are pretty different from a colorimeter. But I assume that every eye is different. In my case I got a similar calibration on one color, the other 2 were messed up...
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] yorici:
Any suggestions for those without a colorimeter?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] gpvecchi:
Well, I suggest to buy one. You can find Spyder 3 or similar at around 60€; it's a great affair, you can use it on every screen you have (tv, computer, smartphones...) and get very eye-candy results.

And, after some practice, you can calibrate your friends screens for some bucks, just to get back your investment.

If you get addicted to a caibrated screen, you'll not be able to look again at all the TVs in malls...

Don't know why but my whitepoint don't stick if I turn the screen off/on.

I'am on stock rom with elementalx with cooler color preset.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Moh_Jay:
That's why. Cooler color preset doesn't allow for the settings to stick.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Pretoriano80:
A bit OT here but i have a strange "issue" with my display and i wonder if anyone else has it.

The issue is that every time i'm scrolling up or down on a tapatalk or a website page i can clearly notice a red/pink glow on the writing and also on the white backgrounds.English is not my native language so it's not easy to explain but i have this with a clean stock rom, so clearly not related to the N5 gamma app.Guess a RMA will come soon ?

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] MrPhilo:
I had this issue before. Uninstall the Gamma app and reboot twice. Should fix the issue.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] GUGUITOMTG4:
Do the same thing on the Display Tester app. go to 'Grey' color section, scroll and see if it is pinkish too. The way I fix it is by increasing the first 5 Red values from left to right on the top in faux app. Try increments of 5 for each value.

Also you can reduce those same values for Blue & Green without touching Red

what is the best setting for yellowish display cure plz suggest me the best setup becoz kinnd new on this...
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] yorici:
Use the search button on this thread. There are multiple setups. If you don't know how to use this app. Read the first two posts.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Pretoriano80:
The gray gamma screen on Display Tester app is mostly pink than grey (i mean the background), i don't even need to scroll in order to see it.

Yes, increasing those 5 values reduced the redish/pink tint but not completely.As far i can tell for some reason it looks like i need to keep the RED gamma lower than the other colors gamma to avoid this issue.

THX for the input, i will further investigate.

Thx for the suggestion, but like i said this "issue" is there on plain stock too,so this will not help.

consider

hi,

i was playing for weeks with the settings and finally got a result which was somehow satisfactory but considering the fact that with flashing one zip for a certain kernel you can get exactly what you want without giving up anything, i recommend to flash elementalX kernel and set it to cooler colors.

it's simply perfect and all the fuss about being unsafe, thousands of people use and/or used those settings for months and i have seen not one

complaint about anything out of the ordinary, damages or anything, by the way how can a sreen be damaged by showing a certain kind of colors more frequently ? the only way i know how to damage a screen is to leave it always on without screen saver :)

so now it could well be that you would ask me for the setting with the gamma app that i mentioned as "somehow satisfactory" but as we all know,

every post with settings causes a new set of discussion because someone elses eyes and screen are different to mine.

generally i adapted the settings of mag01 and addes 3 to each red gamma until the 12th number and then reduces by 3 for each number from 13th to last (23rd) but as said, there is no way to tell how this looks for you on your screen but i got rid of the pink to a very high degree and got more blue which was very similar to the elementalx setting but that one is very bright at the same time so that i could reduce screen brightness to 85% which helps me to safe same juice as a nice sideeffect and the whites appear really white and not grey, pink, yellow or anything. if anything than blueish but not really for me.

good luck

Hi there, i am on the latest kernel version and i downloaded the app, but there is a tab that says "Old Version" that says the kernel has older incompatible kernel version. Please update to latest kernel.

Can anyone help? Thanks! xx
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] yorici:
Which kernel are you using? If you are running the latest Franco kernel(r32), then you have to revert to r31
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] clpw:
Oh, thanks! Yes, i'm on r32. How might i revert? Can i just download the r31 zip file and install as usual? Total noob at this, appreciate the patience! Thanks! :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] yorici:
Just use the link provided on the FK thread (http://192.241.177.15/Nexus5/4.4/zips/) and install r31.

And it would be wise to use the search button from now on as there are others that will bash you for your already answered questions;)

Enabling the "cooler colors" hack is like putting a screwdriver into a fan to stop it instead of unplugging it.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] magnamentis:
ok

hi,

a few things about this hack are interesting and unanswered:

no one ever explained exactly what the problem with that hack should be, even more so the

only more or less clear statement was: we don't know so we wanna play safe.

albeit this is a valuable point of view, it's not comparable with your screwdriver to fan argument, why so hard ans offending if you don't know.

i mean some one stopping a fan with a SD cannot be that smart so i think that it's clearly offending specially it's far off the mark.

further to stick with your line of argument, i prefer to stop the fan with the screwdriver than to unplug a fan with damaged insulation on

the wires and plugs. i agree of course haha... this as well ist not a valid point, but as yours isn't such as well, at least not without further explanation.

sounds a bit like a church: we tell you how it is ( we think or want it is ) and you have to digest it or you gonna be excommunicated, :) :)

or in this case marked as a stupid fan with SD stopper :) :)

however i would be really interested in a founded in depth explanation what is wrong with the hack and don't forget, time goes by

and there are no problems with those devices which are using the hack including mine, my device like others is running perfectly

well with that hack, no bugs, no complaints, simply nothing, this while the blade of the fan will be destroid at once, hope you agree there :)

and finally, yes i agree that a proper tweak would be preferred but since we don't have a clean, user friendly and fully understadnable interface by now

i will stick with the hack and i promise that should any damage occur, i will be honest enough to post it here.

by the way, i was playing with your app for a long time and liked the result, just not that black and white like that hack is, my choice, isn' it ?

thanks for your appreciated input which gives me and others the opportunity to get to the point which is for me and others, what's wrong with the hack ? dunno is not an answer

if you dunno, let us be happy with that hack till you come up with something better.

by the way, sound a bit like a hidden revenge post, which other reason would there be to call someone a stupid fan with a screw driver stopper just because he/she is using a

certain piece of software which has not yet been proofen to have any negative impact at all, just out of a free choice hahaha....

think about it please
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] myfluxi:
I guess this has been explained in depth, if not: We have a table that holds a set commands that are applied when the panel is turned on (or when triggered explicitely). Each command is a sequence of hexadecimal values. Each command is identified and called at an offset with the actual command sequence as a payload. We only make use of 7 commands RGB(p+n) + W. There are other commands, not related to gamma tables.

Franco played around with the hex values and found a value that turned the panel blueish, this is the "cooler color" bit. This however is not the only bit that will have the same effect. This effect is an accident because the panel controller does not know what to do with this errorous command. The blueish tint is a malfunction of the panel controller.

I would not go so far and claim it puts your panel in danger, but nobody knows. There is no available documentation (at least not to us) and we have come pretty far with our reverse engeniering. At least we have some nice color presets that are heads and shoulders better than stock.

My screwdriver-in-fan analogy is 100% spot on. Instead of brute-forcing an effect, use the available switches, which is what the interface enables you to do. Wait for franco or faux to offer a GUI tool that offers better usability. Or just go ahead and stick the screwdriver if you like the effect.

If some of the guys here is able to create a working mathematical function for the gamma curves, it would be easy to transform it into java code. The basic rules have been set by me when I introduced the first iteration of the gamma interface. There are so many infos in this thread, so go and find the formula. I cannot be bothered as I have other priorities and I'm happy with the (probably imperfect) findings of the contributors in this thread. I keep the interface updated of course.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] neriamarillo:
Well that escalated quickly... Its your device, your choice. I tried them and they look OK but using mag01's settings I've found a better happy place with around 2.2 gamma that pleases me as a calibrated display. The "hack" is nowhere near a perfect calibration so again "to each their own". Enjoy!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] farsight73:
A little off here.. Is the latest gamma app "set on boot" toggle work?

Edit: using faux kernel...
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] neriamarillo:
Yes. You have to wait for the toast message once boot is completed and then your settings will be applied.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] magnamentis:
yeah i agree with most of your technical explanations, if you read my posts entirely, not only the parts which for some reason trigger something, i have stated

the same almost identiacally, taling about mag01 which i recommended in several posts to others, even in the post which made you react like that.

further you admit again, you don't know, there is no evidence, so i take the risk that's all and if it goes wrong i'd have to buy a new device, so what?

nobody elses problem indeed.

about the screwdrive thing, i would leave it at that, we do not have to agree there and you did not condider the defective insulation which means that

the colors "hurt" my eyes which is an individual thing and cannot be agreed upon and/or discussed based on facts, simple question of taste.

oh, i agree, i posted, but obviously people only read half, that i like those settings you mention and that i was using them before and recommended them to many

even with a little add-on of mine to get rid of the red, but albeit many complain about that red, intrerestingly that did not trigger any reactions, everything is so

obvious haha...

however, while gamma is a technical term i only care about the visual impression to my eyes and did nothing else than tell others, try it and see if you like it.

of course that would mean to choose another kernel than those two which are related to this tread and that is the only reason why there was a reaction like that

or do you think that if i post the same post in the elemental thread that anyone would fight me for it, i can try and proof that i would get many many thanks and +1 for it

only that that would not contribute to the best possible future gamma tweak which is in this thread to happen.

however if you are happy with your settings i find this extremly good to know and i can follow you there, also you are right that the cooler tweak is not perfect, it's

a bit too blueish indeed, but again, i prefer blueish over yellowish, redish or grayish, that's all and there is nothing to add to eather opinion, tastes cannot be discussed.

thanks for the feedback of you both and i have 80% fun, just a small part i feel was a bit disturbing but that seems to be vice versa :) :)

good luch to you both and be happy with your free personal choices.

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Zorrich:
Want to say thanks for these. I've tried many settings in the thread but couldn't find any that didn't look artificial or yellow. I've been running the "cooler color" hack for a few days, but decided to give this app a go again. Your settings, with a white balance of 32, give me a gamma of 2.2 across the board (based on the display tester app). More importantly, the yellow tint is GONE. I've been able to get good gamma values to date, but not without introducing the yellow tint. This is the first setting to nail gamma and remove the tint for me. So thanks a bunch, appreciate you posting these.

Cheers!

EDIT: And for those looking to mimic the cooler color hack, try these settings with a whitepoint of 25. Throws gamma off the charts, but colors pop.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] fireproofrev:
Do you have a yellow/red tint with WP25? My experience was that when the colors are calibrated good with WP 32 they get "warmer" with a lower WP. This is why I tried to increase the blue very much with my settings (few pages back)
