Any ideas how to do this, where to get such a kernel? Or (if so, how?) can this be done from recovery?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Just look in the Development section, or even faster use the Index thread sticky near the top of the General section.

Another option, just flash a custom ROM. All of them should have system write protection disabled.

Not sure if anything there can help, but I know that the sharpening is applied when there's something light on a dark background or vice versa and also if you have any type of floating menu it'll sharpen everything in the background.

Samsung does this as well but as far as I know only in multi window mode.

Its not a screen issue as its not always apparent. And as far as I know the oppo find 7 has the same panel and doesn't exhibit these effects.

So anyone have any ideas?

Kernel related ?

Display drivers?

Maybe we should all email lg and ask them for an option to remove it.
[G3 General] nap007:
Just fyi oppo use japan display inc panel while lg use their own panel
[G3 General] daleski75:
I think the only way to defeat the sharpening is with a custom kernel and possibly an app to tweak the display unless LG of course turn this 'feature' off in the future themselves via an OTA update.
[G3 General] Lostatsea23:
Hope they do. Its pointless.

So anyways I came across another thing.

If you tune the display with a kernel app as in colors. If you tune all the colors down and make the colors darker and such, everything will have the sharpening applied. So it seems like the software sees that and applies it to everything.

Hoping it's just kernel
[G3 General] daleski75:
I am just guessing as I am not a developer by any shape of the imagination but this sounds like it's built into the OS so possibly a tweak to prevent this behaviour from getting triggered which will turn off the sharpening effect.
[G3 General] Lostatsea23:
Yes I think so. If someone can baksmali the ROM maybe they can find something. Id get in touch with a Dev but as this time it seems like no one owns the device.
[G3 General] daleski75:
When it finally rolls out to the USA then I think it will get better dev support.
[G3 General] toncij:
I'll have the device soon, but I'm not sure we're able to turn it off since it may be the part of the driver. Haven't done it yet, but if we can debug the running code and binary patch the trigger effect into not signaling, we may fix it. If it IS a trigger at all; e.g. we should find when it does signal the driver/gpu to apply sharpening and just switch code from JE to JNE or similar to kill the trigger and never apply it.

Theoretically.
[G3 General] rushless:
Hopefully LG can turn it off and not a hardware combo issue with the 801 and this particular display tech.
[G3 General] Lostatsea23:
It can be turned off. They purposely added it
[G3 General] toncij:
I wonder if anyone knows the purpose. Because any sane person would turn it off after seeing it in action.
[G3 General] Lostatsea23:
The purpose is either, they want to emphasize the need for it so they make things extra sharp over 1080p not realizing it actually looks worse when its sharpened. Or its because the contrast ratio is low so to do that they sharpened it in areas where it would be more noticeable to make it more legible. Again, doesn't really help.

On the galaxy phones it would produce this on multi window mode as stated and when putting a cm ROM on it you wouldn't get any of that since there's no window mode. But... If you go into screen settings and change the screen aliasing type or whatever, if you change from standard to reading mode it would make the display sharp exactly like we see on this one. So once we get kernel support for screen modes (cm adds modes such as movie mode and sharpness ect) then we should be fine.
[G3 General] toncij:
Well, I don't believe a whole bunch of smart engineers, designers and such in dev and QA would not notice it sucks...

And for screen modes, after so much hassle, I hope and expect LG is preparing us a "turn bloody thing off" setting...
[G3 General] Lostatsea23:
Well once it comes out in the states I will be contacting some devs about it. We need a boot loader unlock as well though
[G3 General] flaring afro:
Without seeing it in person, it probably was added to make their simple UI have more of a pop to it. They were probably trying to make it stand out more in stores, like how tvs usually have horrible settings when on display at a store.
[G3 General] Lostatsea23:
They're dumb because it makes it look worse. In almost positive a fix will be found. If anything maybe the carrier releases will have this fixed already.
[G3 General] haris182:
Guess what...

I installed bravia engine v3 from Android Tweaker 2 and...

I think my display is more clear and the sharpening is slightly gone!

You guys better try it and tell your impression
[G3 General] Lostatsea23:
Nope. Exactly the same. Placebo
[G3 General] rushless:
Sugar pills taste so good :)
[G3 General] Lostatsea23:
Lol. If an update to remove this isn't out in the next couple weeks. Bye bye G3
[G3 General] yokken:
The oversharpening is painfully apparent on this phone. Dear god... it makes some fonts look downright HORRIBLE at certain sizes. This needs to go ASAP or I'm returning this phone. Wow. Way to screw up, LG. Also, to every reviewer that said there's hardly any lag: B-f'ing-S. I've made this thing stutter constantly while using it.
[G3 General] Enddo:
watch the language there, sailor
[G3 General] rushless:
People should complain to their carriers and the media about it. If this is not done in a mass effort, LG will do nothing. Presuming of course the issue is not due to how the gpu works with this particular display tech, so can not be fixed.
[G3 General] düdldihüü:
No news about how the sharpening takes place, is there?
[G3 General] toncij:
There is everything clear about it.

Sharpening is a software effect that takes place when there is text in bad contrast situation. It happens only in such cases where LG believed that sharpening would actually help with readability.

Part of it you can avoid if you avoid using such situations. Most are not that way.
[G3 General] shook187:
For a guy who has 20 20 vision like myself call me blind but I have no clue what you guys talking about when it comes to sharpening. My eyes just don't pick up any of it.

[G3 General] slayer3032:
The sharpening is present in TWRP. Its hardware or driver based, AFAIK. I'm returning my G3 tonight to upgrade to a G2. I'll just get a 805 or newer device when they come out maybe.

For those who don't see it, set your wallpaper to the built in one that's a photo of a mountain range. Move some icons to the top of your homescreens and look at the app labels. It makes me feel like I have drunkvision.

For the effect in browsers, try Arstechnica.com, their default mobile page.
[G3 General] jhericurls:
Seems like using 1080p resolution greatly reduces the sharping affect. But for me 1080p breaks too many things to make it worth while.
[G3 General] Rippley05:
I can't see it? The wallpaper (I think that's the one you mentioned) turns my text black. The website looks normal as ever to me (in Chrome because Verizon stole the LG browser)
[G3 General] WACOMalt:
I made this image to express my reaction immediately upon turning the phone on.

That reaction was an unequivocal "...What the f*ck?"

But seriously... I'll throw $50 into the bounty for a sharpness fix. Cant.. freaking.. stand it.
[G3 General] autoprime:
such wow :cyclops:
[G3 General] supposedmonster:
Yeah, those are the ones. You can't see it? On the wallpaper, the fonts have a white halo around them. In the website, fonts have an inner glow. The edges are the fonts are lighter. Sharpening does this by detecting areas of contrast, and increasing these contrast on those edges.
[G3 General] wildmonky:
So you're saying when I adjusted the colors via the accessibility options, it actually made it sharper?! ****ing great. And I'm on the ATT model and the bootloader is locked down more than a pirate's treasure chest.
[G3 General] hkfriends:
yes, i also feel better
[G3 General] tntgdh:
Dude.. I can't see a thing either. I tried but for everything looks normal.
[G3 General] randyspants:
Just tried this myself. I feel like it makes the screen better overall....not sure if I just want to believe but colors seem better.
[G3 General] lanskiAK:
Ya know, I contacted LG about this, and they referred me to Google and were even nice enough to directly connect me with their tech department. The girl I spoke to was way over her head the moment I mentioned the words "kernel," and "artificial image sharpening." She told me to send her an email so she could forward it to a higher tier, of which I've heard no reply. Instead they sent me this:

So I severely doubt that there's going to be any answer coming from the higher ups, as it seems that they are playing the ping-pong game with me at the moment. Also, Google employees seem to have issues with syntax. :eek:
[G3 General] MarimoMusicHead:
If i'm not seeing it... Say, why would i ever want to?
[G3 General] RokkaMan:
Between installing Bravia Engine with Android Tweaker, and scaling the resolution down to 1080p with Nomone, im very happy to say that the sharpness has gone from 'hideous' to 'barely noticable' on my G3. Thank god...

Edit: benefit from downscaling the resolution was minimal and it messed up a lot of the icons in Android - still barely noticable at 1440p
[G3 General] shaarky:
I see it on text minimized in the browser (overview eg. in CM browser), very very annoying

[G3 General] Pfeffernuss:
It... doesn't... do... sh*t.

Hardware/driver issue. No setting will remove the sharpening fiasco. Impossible.
[G3 General] ChrisM75:
Everything tried so far is just a placebo. Altering the resolution does nothing and the Bravia engine does nothing. The only thing that helps, a bit, is using a different font. It doesnt remove it, it just make it less obvious in some situations depending on which font you use.

Incidentally changing the resolution even by 1 pixel kills the screen shot function.
[G3 General] Helloworld294:
Yeah different font fixes it 100%

Use something fat, like Sans or something. Its a hardware issue and there's nothing we can do, maybe tweak drivers but that will come in time. ;)
[G3 General] Skin1980:
can someone confirm if the sharpening sh*t is also on twrp?
[G3 General] Skin1980:
Are u really sure that sharpening is also on twrp? I need to know because if it is still present in recovery we must check in the kernel code... If not we must look in the libs
[G3 General] slayer3032:
Well when I had the device(returned it for $50 to get another G2), I compared it side by side with a G2 in TWRP and it appeared that way.

[G3 General] Xerionius:
How did you do it after all?

My build aborted anyways, every toolchain has a different problem with the kernel code and it seems like syntax errors are the problem, but that's almost impossible, it's the stock kernel and the changes I made shouldn't affect it. Did you use Linaro Toolchain?

I'm pretty new to that business, this would have been my first kernel.
[G3 General] Skin1980:
Yes linaro

I will explain how when i have done more test.

Donations are welcome ;)
[G3 General] Xerionius:
Well that would have been the next thing I'd have tried, I used the Toolchains included in the NDK.

I wanted to donate anyways because I'm using your rom, but I couldn't overcome myself yet. I guess I'll do it when I get home today and I hope your fixed kernel will be up until then :b
