[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
Thank you.

I must admit that I try to follow Linus principles and publish so early it's hard to make real external beta tests :)

Next release will be for tonight, 100% Nexus S and will deal with screen.

If you want to know why I work on screen colors, look at shadows in this gradient on your Nexus S browser

:eek:
[Nexus S Android Development] nicholasbgr:
Can't wait for voodoo colors :D

Supercurio, have you thought about making something like BLN for the NS?
[Nexus S Android Development] fosdos4790:
This is what iv been waiting for. Can't wait to see the results.
[Nexus S Android Development] Arcarsenal:
I echo this. Thanks for all of your work so far, Supercurio. I really appreciate it.
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
I'm staying up for this.
[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
Color patches are now online, ready to be git pulled in other's kernel :D
[Nexus S Android Development] Gilg@mesh:
thanks, does it mean we don't have to use the built in color calibration in CM7 settings? I'm using Calibrated (N1) atm...
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
Excellent, thank you. Can't wait to try this out in a kernel.
[Nexus S Android Development] tempera:
Does that mean we cant use it until someone includes it in a kernel?
[Nexus S Android Development] :
Yeah, that's exactly what it means. I'm sure TeamWhiskey, ogdobber, or Netarchy will include it into their kernels soon.
[Nexus S Android Development] jlevy73:
Thanks man, sound & color, a man's best friend.
[Nexus S Android Development] madfarmer:
Why not make a voodoo kernel ?
[Nexus S Android Development] KnightMAREcrow:
That would be awesome, although others have done a great job incorporating voodoo features. Official would be nice though :)
[Nexus S Android Development] j0hnZ:
It would be awesome but as far as I know he is only one person instead of a team of people. I like that he's focusing on what he wants to accomplish(since you know I want the color fix applied to the entire brightness range :D ), and leaving the kernel to other people. It's sharing at it's finest and allows for a better, faster end result. Just my 2 cents...
[Nexus S Android Development] stennett:
are there any before and after pictures ? I'm confused what the coulour patch does, if it's half the improvement of the sound then its well worth it ! voodoo sound is awsome !

Supercurio you Legend !
[Nexus S Android Development] floomat:
do we have to just install the app from market? because it says "voodoo sounds for galaxy S phones" :D
[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
Yes it's not ready yet, I'm still working the very first version including this feature (quite primitive really today)
[Nexus S Android Development] j0hnZ:
He said it was like night and day on Twitter, though I think he also had the purple gray's issue like I do.
[Nexus S Android Development] madfarmer:
it would still be nice to have a stock like kernel with only superc's fixes...
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
I understand now that having voodoo color mod included in a kernel does nothing unless the control app is used, is that also true for the sound mod (no difference at all unless configured with control app)?

I think Simms was right on this one.
[Nexus S Android Development] Kubernetes:
Supercurio's MO is to make tools and tweaks for other devs. Frankly, it's a great division of labor: I'm glad SC focuses on these things instead of trying to build actual kernels.
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
I said this in Netarchy's thread but I'll say it again, voodoo color is sweet, a very noticeable improvement in dark greys. You are the man!
[Nexus S Android Development] j0hnZ:
Night and day difference.
[Nexus S Android Development] KnightMAREcrow:
Thank you SuperC, keep these great mods coming. I think from now on I'll have to buy the phones you do to get these enhancements. Where were you for the Nexus One haha, cheers
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
I second that:D music on anything but my nexus s doesn't sound right
[Nexus S Android Development] peeturr:
I nearly crapped my pants when I saw the gradient preview with the color mod applied. Great work! I am so glad you implemented this, I need to hug something fast.
[Nexus S Android Development] Bronk93:
Is it me or do the blacks seem not as dark with the colorfix? I applied the colorfix and my black wallpaper was noticeably lighter. Maybe just my device.
[Nexus S Android Development] j0hnZ:
I was wondering, how far are you planning on going with these color mods?

For example, are you doing the cool and warm versions? Cause I would love for my blues to look as blue as they do on the Vibrant and less green like they are on the Nexus. I'm not sure if the SGS had the slight blue tint on the screen but it is awesome for my tron blue theme I made on the Vibrant. For a lack of better word the blues were way more Vibrant on the Vibrant than the Nexus.

Gray's look awesome at any brightness setting, definitely more noticeable at the lower brightness settings.
[Nexus S Android Development] tominater12:
I think google needs to hire someone like you for these amazing improvements.
[Nexus S Android Development] Moosehunter:
Should this work well with Galaxy S devices? It can be put into CM7's kernel because it's based off the Nexus S kernel, but should it work as expected? I don't know if it's just me, but I don't notice much when switching profiles. The gradient only changes slightly near the black end, and I can't notice any difference anywhere else. Maybe it's just that I don't know what exactly to look for.
[Nexus S Android Development] LikeAG2:
There is a problem with some screens displaying a maroon like color in place of dark gray, in other words the darker shades of closer to black looked maroon or reddish instead of gray
[Nexus S Android Development] Moosehunter:
Now that you mention it, the dark greys on the voodoo v1 profile have a slightly red or maroon tint to them. The default profile seems fine.

I'm using a Captivate BTW. Didn't mention that before.
[Nexus S Android Development] tominater12:
So why are you on the nexus s forums?
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
the calibrations are built for the nexus s...
[Nexus S Android Development] tmhung:
The dark grey 's very nice with me ^^ . Thank for all :)
[Nexus S Android Development] bratfink:
The voodoo colour patch works great! Very very well done!
[Nexus S Android Development] xmRipper:
omg i just want to cry, finally no annoying purple tint on low brightness :D

thanks to everyone :)
[Nexus S Android Development] jboy15:
How to install this??!?

Do i just flash it??
[Nexus S Android Development] hansmrtn:
I think I love you. Please bear my child.

Question about voodoo mod

Hi,

New to android & Nexus-S question:

I'm having a very low in-call volume. I can't hear the other side when the room is not completely quiet.

Can the voodoo mod help me?

Thanks,

Oren
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
Voodoo sound won't help in-call volumes.

But if you haven't enabled max call volume, there is nothing you can do ;(
[Nexus S Android Development] jonjon68:
I see no change at all for color.

The sound fix helps. Not this orgasmic delta some are getting, or think they are getting (Placebo anyone?) but there is definitely an improvement in sound quality.

But for color profiles I see zero change. Phones can be different device to device however. I don't see a need for improvement on mine anyway. Blacks are very dark etc, etc..
[Nexus S Android Development] CB620:
Ok what does this do exactly. I flashed trinity can I flash thus on top. I'm new to the nexus forum
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
You have to flash a kernel that includes voodoo color, either netarchy or ogdobber's kernel. Trinity has voodoo sound but not color. You must also download the voodoo app to configure these awesome mods. Consider the donate version if you like what you see/hear and want the treats to keep on coming.
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
The color mod is not supposed to make blacks better but is for specifically removing the purple tint in dark greys, and that it does quite clearly.
[Nexus S Android Development] barmanham:
Wow purple tint gone awesome work
[Nexus S Android Development] Serious_Beans:
I didn't know what everyone meant by purple tint, thought that's what the color was suppose to look like, but after using voodoo color...WOW, big improvement. Thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] quattro_rs:
can i flash netarchy or ogdobber's kernel on modaco r11 rom ?
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
u serious?..................

On gradients its purple'ish at the darker ends
[Nexus S Android Development] j0hnZ:
He's saying he didn't know it was supposed to look different until he saw the improvement. I think most people didn't realize that it didn't look right, mainly because other phone's screens look like crap compared to a correctly working samoled. If you came from a Vibrant and didn't notice, you have no excuses lawl.
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
I came from a hero o.O thats epic sauce
[Nexus S Android Development] milko9000:
Wow. The difference on the test gradient in the control panel is fairly astounding. Nice work! Looking forward to testing the audio stuff next.
[Nexus S Android Development] lokicoon:
gradient is too bright in the shadows, the left side of the gradient (shadow) should be much darker
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
Go do it yourself then.
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
And the best first post of the year award goes to ...
[Nexus S Android Development] treUse:
Even though he didn't the post much thought before posting, it's valid criticism, and should be looked at seriously.
[Nexus S Android Development] jonjon68:
Yeah, nah. Minor change. Not that noticeable for me. I can see the difference after looking at a few different images but it's not that big a deal in my opinion.

Now once there is a color change for 2.3.3, now THAT will be noticed.
[Nexus S Android Development] barmanham:
Any kernels that support voodoo color with 2.3.3 stock thats works with the new voodoo app super just updated
[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
We need updated sources
[Nexus S Android Development] jlevy73:
I saw your tweet about contacting Google regarding the washed out colors in 2.3.3. Did you ever get a response from them on that issue?
[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
Yes http://twitter.com/#!/dnaltews/status/41022273745989632
[Nexus S Android Development] jlevy73:
According to a post on Android Central, it appears the color change in 2.3.3 was intentional.

I've taken this quote from Android Central:

"Update 2: Ry Guy's answered on the Google forums, and the change indeed was intentional. Here 'tis:

With your new OTA complete, you may notice a slight difference in the way colors are displayed on your Nexus S. For Nexus S, we have adjusted the color temperature settings to more accurately reflect darker colors at all brightness levels. The Gingerbread UI being darker, we found that the colors were not as accurate when the device was being used at lower brightness levels. For example, some users reported that the initial color temperature was too high leading to some darker greys having a reddish tone; with the new color temperature this is no longer the case".
[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
Ew ew ew ...
[Nexus S Android Development] SubyWill:
FAIL.

I'm not on 2.3.3, but it sounds like a lot of people are mad with the washed out colors and the disabling of Facebook sync.
[Nexus S Android Development] 2012iawait:
Voodoo color fix

i flashed the kernal but on voodoo control app i dont see any option for color. how do i turn it on? i have the washed out colors after 2.3.3
[Nexus S Android Development] kenvan19:
Some of the kernels do not have the support for color yet so make sure you're using a kernel with color support. Also, you should have posted this in the thread for the kernel or in the thread for the mod not in general in a new thread.
[Nexus S Android Development] 2012iawait:
i flashed og-ns-STK-ogext4-VS-1.3.1 it says this has color support. is this right?
[Nexus S Android Development] kenvan19:
I had a similar issue with that kernel on 2.3.3 stock. I switched to Netarchy and it came up immediately.
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
No. Thats the one with 2.3.3 colors...look for the kernel with VC in the title
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
For people that want to play with this, it works with MCR r13 but not with CM7 2.3.3 kang. Works on stock 2.3.3 of course.
[Nexus S Android Development] hutzdani:
The new Voodoo update is Sweet, finally got a colour setup i like.

For anyone intrested :

Gamma set to :

Red = -26

Green = -30

Blue = -33

Colour Multipliers :

Red = 353834880

green = 3374617280

blue = 3568913600
[Nexus S Android Development] aaronbp:
Here's a question: When I tried to turn all the RGB multipliers down except one, I noticed that even though I set green and blue to 0, I could still see a tiny bit of green and blue in pictures. This was far more pronounced if I changed gamma offsets away from 0,0,0. Is the ability to completely turn off subpixels blocked intentionally? If so, why?
[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
Because calculations inside the screen are ****ing complex ^^

I guess there is a way to completely disable a channel but it's not using multipliers.
[Nexus S Android Development] Androyed:
Supercurio,

Will this kernel work on the i9023, or better: will i9020 custom roms and kernels work on the i9023?

If you didn't know: the i9023 has a different screen than the i9020. Super Clear LCD instead of Super AMOLED. That is the only difference (+size and weight because of the LCD).

Someone said that CM7 was running fine on his i9023, but this kernel also has color improvements, which are intended for the purple hue that Super AMOLED screens have.

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
Yes, kernels will work the same.

At boot, Linux run each screen drivers and the probe function start it or not.

As a result, LCD devices will still have Voodoo sound new controls in the app but none for the screen, as features are autodetected.
[Nexus S Android Development] Androyed:
That is MORE than awesome news! Thank god Linux does that. I was afraid for a moment...

Can you confirm that every custom rom and kernel will work, technically? Just to make sure...
[Nexus S Android Development] dman777:
Using og-ns-CM7-ogext4-VS-VC-1.3.3 w cm7 and my screen has a yellowish tint even with the voodoo color profile enabled. Where in the voodoo app can I individually adjust the colors?
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
RGB multipliers and v0 gamma hack...the "color profiles" don't apply with this kernel
[Nexus S Android Development] loganno:
who knows the values of "Gamma" and "Color multipliers" of 2.3.2? What are the best values for our SAMOLED screen? I use 1.2.6 Netarky cfs for CM7 nightly # 12, 1.2.7 is black to boot.
[Nexus S Android Development] belair56:
Wow, and Thanks

I got my N_1 out to update to 2.3.3. After, it was time to clean the house. The N_1 was out so I fire up power amp, put the buds in and WTF.

What a difference without Voodoo.

Thank you for a great addition to the N_S
[Nexus S Android Development] JmPTaz09:
Great work Supercurio, you are the man! I like how you can play with the colors and then hit the "reset" button to pull all sliders back to the original position. I assume this is the standard setting your came up with/recommend? I tend to like the punchy setting then just left the RGB sliders at the preset values. Anyways, thanks for the audio and visual improvements :)

----------------

Nexus S

Rom - GingerS v0.8
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
resetting brings it to the standard 2.3.3 colors
[Nexus S Android Development] dman777:
I'm looking everywhere for the RGB multipliers and v0 gamma hack/tutorial. I apologize if I am just missing it...can you please tell me where it is?
[Nexus S Android Development] JmPTaz09:
Did it start with calibrated values, or were the 2.3.3 settings set as default? Mine looks really good right right now (punchy gamma with reset RGB), but I obviously want to get it as close to "calibrated" as possible, while realizing that calibration settings are not truly transferable from set to set in any device (need to calibrate each device to get it's true settings).

I guess my question is, what are the RGB settings that were present before hitting reset (if different), and are these calibrated values from Supercurio's NS? If so, I'd like to try them out.

----------------

Nexus S

Rom - GingerS V0.8
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
what kernel are you running?...wait, tutorial? there is no tutorial
[Nexus S Android Development] dman777:
Kernel 2.6.35.7-gc230052 og@ubuntu #1 with CM7 nightly #11. Ok, glad there isn't a tutorial and I just missed it. Please tell me how to do this hack....these blank colors are killing me. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] JmPTaz09:
Just download Voodoo app and use "screen RGB multipliers" and "screen v0 gamma hack" options to adjust your settings. It will automatically detect what settings you can access based on your rom/kernel. If your setup is compatible you can adjust these settings.
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
get the voodoo control app from the market and adjust the RBG and v0 sliders to your liking...for now that is it. no presets.
[Nexus S Android Development] dman777:
Thanks! I had to update the app...that was the problem.

Wow I really like this control. However, I am scared I might set it to a setting that would damage my screen. Any suggestions how not to go to that point?

Also, where were the predefined alt settings derived from?
[Nexus S Android Development] felixjai:
I just upgraded from CM 7 RC1 to RC2 with Netarchy 1.2.7-cfs. I am now getting Force Close when I click on Headphone amplifier inside Voodoo Control app v0.9. Anyone else is experiencing this? Any fixes?
[Nexus S Android Development] jlevy73:
It's a know issue. Search a page or two back for a work around.
[Nexus S Android Development] tvhoesel:
This means that I can't use Voodoo color controls??

Because I am on an i9023 with SCLCD and on CM7-NS-RC4?

Is that correct????

If not which kernel is the best for using with CM7-NS-RC4 and having the full control over the color settings.
[Nexus S Android Development] cyaniris:
It would be awesome to bring touch screen settings to Nexus S! The touch screen behaves so differently: my nexus never had "space bar madness" but suffers from unresponsive screen center, while a friend of mine can (mis-)trigger his nesus s 1/4 inch above the screen...
[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
Wow seriously !

I thought it was not necessary anymore because of the improvement coming with 2.3.3 and better firmwares coming with, but what you say here is interesting ^^
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
No super amoled, no voodoo color
[Nexus S Android Development] tvhoesel:
Thank you for clearing this for me.
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
As you have a SuperClearLCD you don't really need to tweak anything.

If you want to do it though there is a tool for that, just don't remember what its called.

goodness sake..

this is not a rom.... read through the 1st post again..

this is a patch..

anyhow, if i am not wrong. most of the custom kernels here have the patch included already.
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
The kernel is just an overclock kernel (1.4 Ghz) that also has Backlightnotifications (BLN), voodoo sound and color and some other things for networking.

Its on the second page, and is called: Honity
[Nexus S Android Development] ccs1988:
@Dario3040, just flashed morfic's but bln app says my permalink does not support bln? Sorry for the trouble.

Edit: just saw a post regarding bln on GT I9023. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=973125

Hope to have it soon.
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
Yes thats another thing, Morfic thinks there is another driver for the backlight on the i9023 for some reason.

But they are working on it now.

Extreme distortion

Hi,

I have a problem with voodoo sound - I tried 2 different kernels but with the same result.

When I apply the bass boost filter, the sound gets really horrible when the digital volume is on max. So I can't use the "force analog vol. keys" and I have to change the volume through Headphone Amplifier settings - thus I can't use the vol. keys

I recorded the difference between CM7 kernel and Jame Bond kernel - look in the attachment.

Thanks.

Does the Evo 4G belong in the same category as the G1, the original Droid, and the Nexus One? Was it a game changer????
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
It was the first of it's kind...
[EVO 4G General] ATownI20:
Definitely, the EVO was my introduction to android. Haven't been disappointed by it or envious of any other phone thus far...
[EVO 4G General] starplaya93:
In all honesty, no...

Don't get me wrong, the EVO is a great phone but it was by no means "revolutionary"

The only revolutionary phones android has had thus far were the G1 and nexus one, the next revolutionary phone will be the dual cores..

The evo didn't add anything vital to android, although HDMI and front camera were nice additions they are by no means revolutionary.
[EVO 4G General] lazydazed:
Ummm YEA! First american phone to have video chat. I think the first 1ghz processor. and what was that other thing oh ya 4G (unless you live where it ain't, then not so revolutionary)

[EVO 4G General] nvius:
I'm going to get flamed for this, but I feel as if the iPhone is the only phone (In the era of the touchscreen smartphone) that can be called revolutionary. There was nothing even remotely like it in existence. Without Apple's ingenuity in the first generation iPhone, we wouldn't even be talking about Android/WP7 in the same context as we are now.

PS. I love my Evo and I switched from 3 years of using the iPhone because of 4G and a front facing camera. Things that were not very common last year, but to me, these are more evolutionary changes as opposed to revolutionary.
[EVO 4G General] Genjinaro:
It sparked the advent of 4G phones, so yes.
[EVO 4G General] jm5503:
The G1 introduced Android

The Droid made it famous

The Nexus one introduced sexiness and a 1ghz processor

The Evo introduced a 4.3 inch screen, HDMI, 4G, Front facing cam, and video chatting capabilities......
[EVO 4G General] klquicksall:
I would have to agree. Evolutionary yes. Maybe Revolutionary to sprint. This is the best phone sprint has ever had. Revolutionary would be a 3d projector phone with no glasses.
