Due to conflicts between Color Calibration and the camera/video playback overlays, I would recommend not to do these modifications. If it was the case, just restore your nandroid backup.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I'll try to improve the compatibility with our devices.

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to share some knowledge about a discovery I've made today.

Just like a lot of our Galaxy S community members, my screen was way too blueish (temperature "over 9000" kelvin).

However, by googling a few keywords around, I saw that a fix by storm9999 was available for the droid, N1, and even desire xx phones.

Basically I just tried to do the modifications on my Galaxy S with the Darky's 6.0 Gingerbread edition rom. And it works!

Here is a screenshot of the application:

http://img600.imageshack.us/i/uicolor.jpg

Requirements:

- Rooted phone

- Clockworkmod

- An Android 2.2[+] ROM (successfully tested on Darky's 6.0)

Installation:

- Make an nandroid backup just to be safe (français, english)

- Put the under-attached zip and apk files into the root folder of your internal sdcard

- Restart your phone in recovery mode

- Choose "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from sdcard", and select the "calibrated-signed..." zip file

- Reboot your phone. Note: At first reboot, sim card may not be functional. Just reboot, and the issue should be gone

- Install the "calibrator-5.1" apk file with Astro or else

- Enjoy!

Please if you try this fix with another froyo rom, tell us if it works or not. I'll put a compatibility list here!

ROM compatibility:

- Darky's v6.0 Gingerbread ed. JPX => OK

- Stock JPU with CF-root => OK

Known bugs:

- If calibration is enabled, Spare Parts will crash when Render Settings is opened.

- When you tune your colors, the overlay appears over the sliders, and not over the calibration field at the top

- Camera and video playback lose their overlay

Credits

- Storm9999 for the apk and certificate

- Cyanogen and his team for the source files

- RixKliq for the icon making

- Xenio2000 for the UI improvements

- Supercurio for not integrating his awesome voodoo colorfix in JPU and JPX versions ;) Sans rancune l'ami!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Lol yeah it's a good alternative and don't require recompiled kernel !

Limitation is that it lower the final brightness and reduce the color-resolution (something like 18 or 20 bits depending the adjustment you apply - very rough estimation)

but hey, it works !

Thank you eruur :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
Just installed, but i noticed no differencies, droid calibrator has red blue and green at 1000 is it ok?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] XlAfbk:
Working in stock JPU with CF-root

but is the color overlay really supposed to appear over the sliders? shouldn't it be covering the calibration field at the top?

looks like this here:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eruur:
You need to click on "User 1", then tune your colors. If your screen is a little blue, just decrease its value to something like 960.

Then save your settings.

At first I thought it wasn't working too, but if I put my blue value to 500, my screen is all yellow :d So it is actually working ;)

I also recommend to do your calibration with the maximum brightness in order to be accurate!

@supercurio: De rien! lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eruur:
Indeed, I've noticed that also. You need to save, quit, and relaunch the calibrator to see the effect on the top field. I will try to fix the overlay position!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Case_:
Does it make you lose overlays in camera and video player like it used to do before? Ie. is it modified in some way to be more compatible with stock Galaxy Froyo or is it just the unmodified files from stormy?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eruur:
I searched and did not find any info about galaxy compatibility. You're right, the overlays do not work anymore in camera and video player.

Sorry about that, hadn't noticed. I guess it doesn't work that well afterall :/

I'll look into that.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] XlAfbk:
i can confirm the camera issues. had to restore libsurfaceflinger.so
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
Where to find it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] XlAfbk:
in your nandroid backup or an extracted factoryfs.rfs
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
Yeah, but where? :D (path)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Case_:
I think I've posted about that in the original thread quite some time ago and I'm fairly certain I've mentioned this option in some Galaxy S threads either here in Development or in General. But that was most likely sometime in August or September, so it's long forgotten.

I guess it makes sense that the overlays stop working, given that you need to replace the libsurfaceflinger.so for this to work.

Too bad, I was quite excited that someone finally managed to get it to work on stock Galaxy ROM. I'd love to have the option to calibrate my screen to 6500K properly to match my PC screen and I thought someone finally made it possible without the need to use CyanogenMod (not that I have anything against CM, it's just it isn't all that stable/usable just yet).

Anyway, if anybody is interesting in using this even in this state, my screen is pretty close to 6500K when using these settings:

R: 965 G: 740 B: 720

Of course every screen is a bit different and the color temperature of SAMOLED screens changes with time, so no guarantees that this will work for you as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eruur:
Sorry for the false joy.. I was also disappointed!

Anyway, I'll play with the modified libsurfaceflinger to see if I can come up with something.

Oh and for Razer: path /root/system/lib

I think you need to put a DEV tag on the title. Good threads have been tossed to general becuse of this.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pwhooftman:
Tasker workaround for Camera overlay problems?

Would it work if i set up Tasker actions, copying the original libsurfaceflinger.so

from another location back to /system/lib when starting the Camera or Video Player app, and copying back the modified one when leaving the Camera or Video Player app?

Or does the Galaxy S have to be rebooted to start using another version of libsurfaceflinger.so?

[Desire HD General] DaMastachief:
Hello,

I recently bought a Desire HD, because my Hero's screen got unresponsive, because of a hardware fault of the screen.

I had a real nightmare with my Hero with the repair center. I had to send it 3 times to them in order to actually accept the problems and to partly fix it. About 2 months after I got it back from this almost 2 months horror the screen became unresponsive and I had to ditch my beloved Hero.

I decided to give HTC one more chance and bought a Desire HD and I was really happy with the device until yesterday when I found out that I have a dead/black pixel on the upper left side (left side of the HTC weather and time widget).

I already tried JScreenFix and another app from the market to fix it and had my phone running on it for more than an hour. But unfortunately this didn't fix anything.

I really like this phone and I decided not to get a Samsung Nexus S. But now I have to say that I am more than disappointed that I didn't.

I called my dealer and he said that he can only exchange the device within 7 days of purchase and that I have to send it to the repair center. I'm so frustrated right now that I am really playing with the idea of selling my Desire HD and get any other phone except an HTC.

If someone can help me, I would be more than happy, because I don't know what I can do anymore.

Thank you in advance!

Cheers!

Best way to remove dead pixels (this might be difficult due to the uni body design) is to take apart the phone leaving the SLCD bare and lightly (I normally use a cotton bud to avoid finger prints and avoid excess pressure) massage the effected area.

Attempt this when powered off first, if that unsuccessful do so when powered on (Boot cycle if necessary).

[Desire HD General] noobdeagle:
Most phones have a zero dead pixel warranty just check htcs policy on dead pixels then rma it you should receive a new unit

Alternatively if HTC do have a zero dead pixel policy then kick up a stink to the store manager that according to HTC the manufacturer its faulty and unfit for sale. Complain enough you will be surprised what happens
[Desire HD General] DaMastachief:
Ok, thanks for the swift response.

If I take the phone apart I'll lose my warranty right?

I purchased the phone on 07.12.2010 and I never took any of those apart.

To be honest I'm a bit afraid I might screw up ending with a broken/inoperable device.

Do I also need any special tools to do that? And if yes how much do I have to pay for those?

I really don't want to sell my Desire HD so I am open for any suggestions. :)

Thanks.

P.S.: What do you think of those pixel repair programs on the market? Are they actually working at all?

Edit: Thanks for the hint, I'll check out their policy asap. I already called my dealer and wait for his call back. I will definitely "kick his ass" when he tries to bulls*it me. Thanks!
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
I have a dead/stick pixel too. I got it quite a while back and i even made a thread about it here. It was a real annoyance for me but now i just learned to live with it. Mine is right at the bottom center of the screen. I really don't have the patience to send it back to england for repair, and i don't have any confidence in taking it apart so i'll just have to live with it :/

I also tried that Jscreenfix app as well and it did nothing. I really doubt the success rate of those type of apps because my laptop has a dead/stuck pixel too and running a program like jscreenfix did nothing on my laptop either.
[Desire HD General] DaMastachief:
Yeah, I've read your topic and I tried to live with it too, but my device is like brand new and I paid a lot of money for it so I see no argument for accepting a faulty part tbh. I didn't buy it from a carrier it's unlocked and has no branding at all.

It's like my company/boss pays me for 1 day less a month just because his pc was broken on that day.

I also don't have any patience at all with the european service center anymore. The experience I made with my Hero was so horrible you can't imagine. I don't wish this even to my worst foe.

I also doubt the success of those apps, but I gave it a try so I can't say that I didn't try as much as possible.
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
i was just like you dude. bought it unlocked sim free no carrier, and only a few days after owning it the problem showed up. Its a real shame that LCD's suffer from this type of fault.
[Desire HD General] DaMastachief:
Yeah and I just called HTC to find out what their policy is, but the guy on the hotline told me that I got blablabla days where I can exchange it and after it I have to send it in for repair. :(

I'm so pissed now that I'm going to literally kill my dealer on the phone when he calls me back.
[Desire HD General] xp79:
Glad I could help and thanks for the "Thank".

Unfortunately the Desire HD is a troublesome device to take apart and I wouldn't recommend doing so unless you have a through understanding of electronics and Uni-body casing, if you do plan on going ahead then your best bet would be to look at this:

http://www.htcphones.net/htc-evo-4g-teardown/

this is an similar phone to the Desire HD that uses a similar layout but different components, a full Desire HD tear down from a reputable website isn't available at this moment.

Depending on the warranty of your device then it may breach the warranty.

The best way to check if it breaches your warranty is to ask the manufacturer about the "conditions of the warranty" or not to break any Warranty Stickers.

As for returning the product, you probably have a better chance in saying the phone doesn't meet the aspect of quality you though it would, your more likely to get a return that way because the dealer isn't taking back a faulty product (Its unlikely they will check the product).
[Desire HD General] LittleMerc:
Sigh, I got 2 stuck pixels too... One is at the top left corner (red) and another in the middle region (blue)... Just bought for less than 7 days and they are already there... Stupid HTC policy of more than 3 closely pixel sh*t doesn't help at all... I had been using so many HTC phones and it seems that only DHD gave me stuck pixels... What is wrong with their QC? Damn it... Well, i gave up looking at it and learn to live with it... The only thing that is keeping me with HTC is due to Android + 4.3"... There isn't any other phones providing such luxury... its really pathetic...
[Desire HD General] Daz555:
If you bought it over the phone or online and are in the UK then you can return it within 7 days for a refund if it is faulty or not. Distance selling rules cover this option.

As for stuck pixels my understanding is that HTC policy is "any three pixels" or "any two joined pixels".
[Desire HD General] ancola66:
When buying a phone, we often skip the step by step test because we are too eager for the phone that we expect long:). Examine the steps necessary minimum:

* LCD Screen

- You for startup phone, startup screen is white color. You look at the different angles to see what is not normal ?

- When the phone was running, you turn on the camera application. You use hand lens cover>>> screen is black. You can observe different colored pixels that do not? if it occurs, it is dead pixels:(

*Speakers and external speakers (Make a call, listening to music at a volume level to maximum)

*Wireless connections and to try a few sites....

*Squeeze the cover slightly to see if sure?

*..................

Hopefully my experience was helpful for you and sorry for my poor English:)

Get insurance put up with it for a while and drop it in the sink. Get new one. Your bound to break it at some point in the future.
[Desire HD General] Kulacoglu:
I also have one dead pixel mid-right colored green. When I first got it i checked well and it was not there. After a few days it is there.

I bought mine during my business trip to Hong Kong. I went to the shop and asked my dealer to change vthe unit but they said there should be at least four dead pixels in order to change within 7 days. Also they told me to call the htc office but it was weekend and i will be leaving HK on the folllowing monday. so I had no chance but to live with it. I will send an email to Htc to check what they will say.
[Desire HD General] Lankius Maximus:
Guys,

Sorry to sound obvious but have you tried the jscreenfix app (there is an Android version in the market) or similar in order to make sure the pixels are actually dead and not simply stuck? If they are stuck this should repair it. I ran their software via my PS3 after picking up a couple of stuck pixels on my LCD TV and it worked wonders.

Not promising anything but it must be worth ago before resorting to taking it apart/ sending it back. From the comments you do have to let it run a while and maybe on a few occasions, however it should certainly help with coloured pixels (ie green)
[Desire HD General] MadeInRu:
To add my 2 cents, when ever i have some kind of issue, i will always make it over the top and add some juicy details when calling any company. For example i will say that my screen starts to loose colors after being on for more then an hour. I know it's not good in a sense, but when something costs 500+ euro, it should work fine for more then few month. In 10 or so years, my stuff was always replaced with a brand new one.

Regards.

This is insurance fraud, its illegal, classed as theft and is causing insurance premiums to raise for the hardworking Joe who legitimately pays for his insurance.

Glad to hear jscreenfix helped your problem but...
[Desire HD General] DaMastachief:
Hello Folks,

sorry for not being able to answer quicker, but I came back late from work and couldn't access the site due to overload until now.

My dealer called me back and I explained everything to him and also told him that I won't send it in for repair again as I had a nightmare with him already with my Hero. He spoke to his boss, called me back and told me that they will make an exemption and change my phone. I am getting a brand new one, I am really excited and very happy and satisfied.

On the other hand I hope that this pixel issue won't happen again. :)

Lucky me I always keep everything in the package and take care about my gadgets very nicely. I already did a reset, cleaned it and put everything in order into the package like I got it.

I also don't do any insurance fraud and I am also exaggerating on the phone, but tbh honest guys: You can say whatever you want and try whatever is possible, but those guys at the HTC hotline don't give jack **** about your problems. Their answer is always the same and their flexibility in terms of problem solving is literally zero.

About that JScreenFix, I think it might work with stuck/coloured pixels. But dead black pixels can't be repaired with it. The program seems to cycle and cycle through all colours and tries to somehow calibrate the screen/pixels again. But dead pixels seem to be dead. At least that's what I can say about trying it and another application from the market.

But I will definitely check my phone very closely tomorrow upon receipt and will also do this in the future, because it takes like 1% of the time I need compared to waiting in line at any hotline.

Thanks again for all the hints and also for the link how to take it apart. Tbh I got a bit too much respect to do this and also because my phone is 14 days old and got 11,5 months warranty.

Wish me luck that the new one will be flawless and without any problems.

Cheers!
[Desire HD General] Repsys7:
After reading this thread I decided to look and found one :(, it is purple so does that mean Jscreenfix should hopefully work?
[Desire HD General] LittleMerc:
Jscreenfix is absolutely bullsh*t in my opinion. Mine is definitely 2 stuck pixels as they are coloured red and blue, not black... But running it for more than an hour and not helping really makes my hopes dashed...
[Desire HD General] Repsys7:
Agreed, had it going for about 2 hours (I have a purple one) and nothing!
[Desire HD General] DaMastachief:
Hey,

I got my new one and it's without a stuck or faulty pixel.

I tested the device right at my dealers office and the kinda shocking thing we found out is that I had to test 2 devices in order to find one without any problems.

The first I tested had dust underneath the screen, my dealer was also surprised about those things and will send them back to HTC.

I really can't say if JScreenFix works or not, but according to some comments from the market it helped them calibrate their stuck pixels again.

Hi all,

I'm new here but was reading this forum for a while.

I just downloaded the blurless CEE version 2.34. Flashed as usual with RSD Lite 4.9. The program says 'PASS' but the phone is not turning on (power+vol_up; power+vol_down doesn't work either).

I'm not a pro but any suggestion might help.
