[MENTION=2174433]Skin1980[/MENTION]: appreciate your work and dedication, thanks again: 2PA80539222586804 :)
[G3 Original Android Development] reepje123:
Will this work on CM12 too, or only on stock Lollipop roms?
[G3 Original Android Development] EMJI79:
Congratulations Skin1980!
[G3 Original Android Development] Enddo:
I don't think the oversharpening effect shows through in a screenshot
[G3 Original Android Development] EMJI79:
What about future OTA of ROM? Will it keep your tweak?
[G3 Original Android Development] Skin1980:
I talked to sooti and invisiblek and i think they will add this into the AOSP kernel
[G3 Original Android Development] EMJI79:
A dumb question: could you build it as an xposed framework module?
[G3 Original Android Development] Skin1980:
This is a mod to the kernel mate.. let's see what LG will do but i think we are safe
[G3 Original Android Development] silvbm:
No, you don't see it on a screenshot.

As a future OTA will likely replace the kernel, and this fix is in the kernel, OTA will not keep it.
[G3 Original Android Development] Skin1980:
It's inside the dbts appendend to the zImage. Maybe we can find a way to talk with the panel but for now 0 source.
[G3 Original Android Development] reepje123:
Great, thanks for replying!
[G3 Original Android Development] djuicecola:
errrr i guess i need some help...

Hi !! i really want to fix that horrible oversharpening right now, but i don't know how to flash the kernel in recovery... can someone please help me ? any tutorial around to recommend ? oh, and thanx again to Skin1980 ! cheers !
[G3 Original Android Development] tissot:
Ohhh?

Do you know what recovery is?

Any way you need twrp and then just flash the kernel zip under install menu. Very simple. As stated make a backup in twrp of the boot partition.
[G3 Original Android Development] EMJI79:
Guess I have to wait for the F460s version...
[G3 Original Android Development] djuicecola:
Thanx. I can flash the kernel even if my g3 isn't rooted, right ?
[G3 Original Android Development] Enddo:
Wouldn't a future OTA return an error because of this changed kernel?
[G3 Original Android Development] koahhe:
Very nice work op. My eyes are very happy now :)

[/IMG]
[G3 Original Android Development] silvbm:
Not worth discussing. As you have twrp installed you shouldn't take ota at all ;)
[G3 Original Android Development] Xerionius:
Basically: Yes, you can. But how will you install the required custom recovery without root?
[G3 Original Android Development] EMJI79:
For those who have done the tweak: does it make noticeable difference on pictures? Or only on text?
[G3 Original Android Development] Mangtas_666:
Hi can I do this mod without twrp?
[G3 Original Android Development] tissot:
You need root at least. To run flashify whitch can write the kernel (boot.img)

Without twrp im not sure.

Just curious, is this an ON/OFF setting in the kernel or an adjustable? Just thought someday we could tweak it to our liking if we wish.

[G3 Original Android Development] lexman098:
This is one of the greatest accomplishments for G3 development.

If you're wondering whether you'll be able to tell the difference or you if you've never noticed the problem before check out this app before and after applying the fix: http://d-h.st/2Bq

The bottom right square is without anti-aliasing (which we don't really need with > 500 ppi).

was going to post comparison pics also, but seems to be removed from first screenshot too lol. awesome!
[G3 Original Android Development] leepcharge:
Those with d852 model, I would backup before trying. I think something is wrong with the version.

Update: Fixed and working great now. Thank you and much appreciated.

[G3 Original Android Development] WACOMalt:

The sharpening had me considering swapping phones nearly daily.

Thank you!

[G3 Original Android Development] rawsushi:
Works like a charm! Thank you so much! Can't wait till they add it to CM12 D850. The site where I noticed it the most by far was http://www.azlyrics.com ... I booted up, went to the site and couldn't even read the text when zoomed all the way out. Turned my screen off and back on and I couldn't believe the difference! So for those of you who are skeptical, check that site out and do what I did. I was using CM12 but I'm so excited that I think I'm going to use a stock based ROM until the "fix" comes out for CM12. Great work man!

[G3 Original Android Development] suljo94:
wow you are like an megician, you keep pulling tricks out of your hat. haha other devs are lagging behind on you and I am glad that you chose the lg g3 and not the s5 or m8. what is next on your list get xposed working, get apktool working(on lollipop), or just create world peace?I'm not easly impressed but I was impressed 2 times this week (oversharpening fix, codefire pulling the plug), but just an request because your kernels are my go-to kernels(only lollipop kernel out there, without much issues), could you clean up smartmax because it is a bit cluthered(govenor settings) and if you haven't already fix the throtteling when screen off.
[G3 Original Android Development] Skin1980:
ASAP i will check the smartmax, i was pretty sure it was working well since i pulled it from tectas github but maybe it needs some tuning.

Tnx for your words. I really appreciate.

[G3 Original Android Development] ChongoDroid:
D852 running great. Amazing how much better this looks. IMO it makes the screen sharper, if that makes any sense.
[G3 Original Android Development] Mangtas_666:
Can someone confirm its working on d850? I have no twrp thats why I cant make a backup.. ?

is it work with your kernel? [KERNEL][Lollipop][D855 only]ChupaChups kernel v. 1.8 - 25.11.2014?

or when I install I will have stock kernel?

[G3 Original Android Development] koahhe:
Yes if you are on lollipop it is the same thing installing the chupachups kernel or doing the oversharpening fix in this thread
[G3 Original Android Development] Skin1980:
You have understood perfectly. ;)
[G3 Original Android Development] IndianaBond:
When Android 5 comes to our phones, will the update reflash the kernel? Then we have to reflash this kernel?

Thanks for all the hard work dev! You've made my G3 soo much better now. But I'm still getting super long boot times for my LG G3 D850 version.

LS990 with Flashify?

I'm running the stock ZV4 ROM on my Sprint LS990, Stump rooted but not Bump'd and no custom recovery, along with Xposed.

Is it possible to install the oversharpening fix kernel on the stock ROM using Flashify? I really don't need to run a custom ROM or install TWRP, and I have my phone setup exactly the way I like it and would hate to screw something up and have to start over.

Has anyone tried this successfully on the Sprint version? I assume the fixed kernel is based on ZV4?

Thanks in advance!
[G3 Original Android Development] Tectas:
The LS990 is actually based on both ZV6 and ZV4, the kernel sources of those versions are identical.

Because the images are bumped, it should work to flash them with flashify, but afaik flashify doesn't work yet on lollipop (could be fixed meanwhile though), also it is pretty risky to flash along without recovery installed, because it's therefore not possible to back up your rom before and restore it from that backup if something goes wrong (it does not mean that the kernel could cause issues in any kind, I just want to say it is a bad choice doing so in common when flashing), so the only way left would be to start over from scratch with a kdz.
[G3 Original Android Development] k@iserex:
Yeah it really is that much better without over sharpening effect, but I must say it didn't bothered me that much, and know seeing how tekst looks whitout it it really is much, much natural ?
[G3 Original Android Development] Eyalkn:
looks like it is still there. Using the new cm12 11/27 build that has the fix inside.

Edit: Never mind, it is a 3d effect that Lowe's site added to there tabs lol.
[G3 Original Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Apart from that, it's impossible to see on screenshots anyway :cool:
[G3 Original Android Development] Eyalkn:
Oh yeah lol
[G3 Original Android Development] orbitalcomp:
Thanks for the response, Tectas. I decided to go ahead and install TWRP since it was easy enough using Flashify. After that, installed the unsharpened kernel from recovery and it definitely makes a difference.

But there is one issue that I've noticed...

[MENTION=2174433]Skin1980[/MENTION]

Is there any reason the new kernel would cause lag? I can definitely tell a big difference in responsiveness after installing this kernel. I don't know know anything about how this works, but is there a larger overhead for this to work it's magic? Seems like it would be the opposite, that the sharpening profile LG applies would require more processor usage.

Does the Sprint version of the kernel maybe need some more optimization or something? It's also using much more battery than stock, besides the aforementioned lag issues.

Thanks for your hard work!

[G3 Original Android Development] theinternot:
Color saturation/temp change after flashing zip?

Thank you for this!

I am noticing that the colors are either more saturated or the overal temp. is slightly warmer after getting rid of the over sharpening.

Has anyone else noticed this? It is subtle, but for me it's definitely noticeable... and I LOVE IT!
[G3 Original Android Development] tissot:
It could be a subjective observation. Take a photo before and after, then post it.

I noticesd some dif.. But its hard to put a finger on it.

Slightly duller look.

My thought is that the sharpening did light more pixels an that made the picture lighter.

Hi [MENTION=2174433]Skin1980[/MENTION],

I am currently building an AROMA based update.zip which debloats stock ROMs, for new users.

There is no tangible build yet, but I am working on it.

I planned to increase the scope by adding other scripts and tweaks if allowed.

So I would like to ask if I may include the oversharpening fix kernel into my soon to come "ImproveG3" script?

You will be properly credited, of course.

The script will be free for all to download.

Regards,

sub
[G3 Original Android Development] marlowe310:
I'd also be very appreciative of any info regarding any effect (positive or negative) on CPU/Processing/Battery life, etc due to the kernel. Flashed it myself and LOVE the change so far, but I'm also noticing a bit of extra drain and lag -- however I'm also traveling at the moment so it's hard to be certain whether I'm just seeing things.

Thanks much.
[G3 Original Android Development] jal3223:
Interesting. Do all images look degraded after the patch? Have you compared the same image before the fix?
[G3 Original Android Development] Skin1980:
Lol... i am working on an AROMA Script too from some days... i finished it yesterday evening and pushed here 5 mins ago.

I would like to test your ImproveG3 script and if you want to include these kernels in your zip you are free to do it.

Otherwise if you want to use the script code i just uploaded i prefer if you don't. It is only in the first release and need feedback and improvement.

Tnx for your work.
[G3 Original Android Development] @Peterrrrr:
Could you post before and after picture on that? :)
[G3 Original Android Development] Omegadrive:
Found one annoying bug, after flashing this and rebooting phone takes over a minute on the LG logo before starting to boot. I restored the previous kernel in Flashify and rebooted, all is fine now, but wondering what can be the issue, the oversharpening was definitely gone thou while it was installed.

This was running Claudy 1.2
[G3 Original Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
It's a non-issue. Low-quality images will not be magically enhanced by the artificial sharpening. Especially not in a size the poster showed.

I believe the long boot times were fixed already with the later versions? Anyway, booting up stock 4.4.2 takes no longer with or without using this kernel :good:
[G3 Original Android Development] @Peterrrrr:
One user wrote that the colours also went more saturated...
[G3 Original Android Development] Omegadrive:
Just confirmed, redownloaded, reinstalled this kernel and 1 minute on LG logo, then it booted.

Seems the fix didn't make it to the D850 or the download link in the OP is linking to an old file.
[G3 Original Android Development] subworx:
Again thank you for giving me permission.

I will not include the feature until everything is stable.

Works perfectly on VS985, stock rom. i ran that aa ap and you can really tell the difference. My only question is how prevalent the oversharpening is on daily use. Sometimes I do have to look at pdf documents and I wonder how much it would actually help.

As of yet though no problems.

Extremely dangerous article, without recommending making a backup of boot first.

Lots of people, who won't have the right prerequisites will end up with a non-booting phone.

Sure, backups are/should be common sense, but read XDA and you know that's not the case.
[G3 Original Android Development] cap1tal1sm:
I upgraded my .img files using the flash2 method found on our very own xda g3 boards... The newest OTA has been version 12b, and I flashed the system.img, modem.img, and, notably, the boot.img. is there any chance you can get your sharpening mods out for the later versions? or do you think it's worth it to keep stock kernel just for those minute changes? I can imagine version's programmers have important updates of their own...

Dual SIM Version

I have the dual sim version of the g3 D858. I noticed this sharpness effect from the first day. It's similar to the picture of computers connected to some regular TVs that don't support DVI connections!!

By the way, my friend has a stock D858 and this issue is not in his device. I can clearly tell the difference. Not only on text, even images and videos colors are better without this effect.

Anyway, can you support the D858 version? I am willing to help with anything, and test on my device!

Thanks in advance

When you say stock rom, do you mean stock as is or a bumped version of stock? I would love to try this sucker out, but I'm reluctant to jump off the stock firmware the phone came with (VS985 10b), as it's pretty nice for my purposes so far.

Thanks much for any info!
[G3 Original Android Development] cap1tal1sm:
Bumped version of stock. I don't think there's any difference however, as long as you can flash the zip. Not sure how you would do it (Flashify?) without a custom recovery, but it should work regardless.

If you don't have a custom recovery then I'm not sure what would happen if you boot loop...probably have to flash back to stock. So I guess the stakes are a bit higher for you to try...

...but why aren't you bumping and rooting and getting all the cool stuff this forum offers!?!?! xD

[G3 Original Android Development] spacebar76:
Skin1980, thank you for this! :good:

Works well on D855 stock ROM 4.4.2. I can see the difference, particularly text against grey or light tones. My only regret is that I should have taken a before and after so I can share the difference but the second post does show this quite clearly. I really wonder why LG even bothered to do this oversharpening "fix".

Just bought Skin1980 a beer! And I encourage everyone to do so if you can. :laugh:
[G3 Original Android Development] Skin1980:
Tnx mate for the beers. You can still see the difference because after the boot, if you don't let the screen going off, the oversharpening is there and only after you turn it off and on again that **** is gone.

Edit: I suggest you, for the next time, to use the script instead of this kernel since they are not very good. The script only change the value without touching the zImage
