Hi.
As mentioned in the title I have difficulties in using all the beautiful looking black themes in bright sunlight. Therefore I have been looking for some good looking themes with black text on a white (or bright) background, that is easy to use during daytime.
But searching the forum did not find any - therefore I would like to ask you if you know such a theme?
Thanks

You can use any PC theme maker application, create a white background based theme & customise it to your extent(the way you like).
You may face a problem of the taskbar & navigation's colour not changing - for this you can use 'UITweaker'.
Guys and Gals
One of the things I like about the Touch HD is the Black case and buttons, I'm quite a minimalist at heart. I installed Max Manila to reduce the number of buttons and icons on the screen and have installed the Black Metal top line icons.
However in peoples opinion which is the best black and white theme? If you could include screenshots or a link to a thread I'd be grateful.
Regards
gtx sense without a doubt.

shame developement has been stopped. someone else has taken over the project and has made some changes but the original is my favourite. there arent really any problems with it in its current state
Sorry I should have been clearer, GTX is a really nice theme but it's too white. If there was an inverted version of it I would have been very close!!
what about just plain old manila 2/2.1 or even the stock version?
Hi guys,
In the next version of SpeedMod, I'll be making some changes to the color of the UI. In the JPX source code drivers, there are some new configuration settings which are interesting.
This kernel is based of K12F and should be stable. It is labelled K12G-TEST.
In this thread I will upload 3 different color settings:
Neutral
Warm (more yellow: use this if your screen is too blue)
Cold (more blue: use this if your screen is too yellow)
No color management
The purpose of this thread is to gather feedback from you about which color setting you prefer.
I realize that there are at least 2 types of screens with different colors - one which is more blue, one which is more yellow.
The file with "-warm" is the warm color version.
The file with "-cold" is the cold color version.
The file without "-warm" or "-cold" is the neutral color version.
The file without "-noc" is the version with no color management.
Reserved for future use.
On my friends SGS his whites are more like faint yellowish, on my phone its perfectly white.
So yeah there are panels that are probably poorly calibrated.
Thank you hardcore, i've never had problem with both version (normal and color) of any version of yours. So, normal is better i think
Have you thought about changing text color in CWM from green to blue or green like Amon-Ra recovery?

easy to distinguisch en you can tell by the collor what kernel you have

I'm perfectly fine with color versions developed so far...will I notice further improvements using neutral color version from this thread?

Haha... no I don't plan on changing it, and theoretically green is the best because Pentile-matrix AMOLED displays (like the one in the SGS) have the full resolution for green pixels, and less resolution for red and blue pixels.

Understood
Important is that it works always
I would try cold version, is it possible to have it at 256Hz?
Thank you hardcore
I also would be really appreciate if you could change the CWM color.
Maybe it`s not the best resolution on Pentile-Matrix-Displays but something special at all
I compared my SGS white level to my PC monitor (Eizo FlexScan S2431W), and I saw that it was a bit cold (blue).
Tried your warm version to correct it, but it seems too much for me.
To specify:
On low and medium screen brightness the screen is now too warm.
On full brightness, it seems OK.
Which makes me think that this matter is more complex than just adjusting one slider or setting or whatever, since the color temperature seems to change a lot with brightness.
On second thought I am not sure if my observations are 100% correct... maybe I'm just too used to a cold temperature...

Thanks for your feedback. So u find the warm too warm, versus your monitor.
Although it's a good basis for comparison, color balance is very tricky because it depends on the ambient light - if you are out in the sun, your display will seem more yellow (because sunlight is very blue). If you are indoors using warm lighting, your display will seem more blue.
The MDNIE software allows a certain level of control - at this point I can control the red/blue color balance which affects all brightness levels. This is similar to Samsung's own presets.
At this point I don't think I want to venture into trying to correct colors at different brightness levels - the source code also doesn't seem to offer that.
Mine is redish, installed your "blue" and it is just darker red...
Tonite I will install the new "no process" version, at least it uses less battery...
@hardcore,
Mention [POLL] on the Title.
Ooops, there is no Odin version this time...
Thank you for your good work!
However i prefer the noc kernel, colors are more natural, but it's my own point of view.
neutral here too
Please note that neutral and no color management versions are not the same.
Noc version has actually colder colors, from what I can see.

I voted for NOC, are you going to do an Odin version ?
Thanks,
The 'warm' version is PERFECT for my first generation UK i9000. Many thanks, been waiting on a colour fix for ages now!

For me the standard works best. The cool is too cold, and the warm makes the screen yellow. I find this strange because I was using the cool versions up until now. Is the color correction dial turned up a bit too much?

Is it possible to change the dark (almost black) backgrounds on menus that CM7 has to be light (almost white) of the Sense ROMS? For example in a Sense ROM if I click on the menu button while at the home screen, the icons have a white background. In CM7 it is a black background, and I would like a white background.
Is this something the UOT Kitchen can do?
thanks.

This is a feature of Android 2.3+ for AMOLED devices. The fewer pixels that are "lit up" on an AMOLED device, the less power it consumes.
If you want the OLD white background menus, you should use an Android 2.2 or lower system image, or have some fun haxing the ROM.

Why not try a theme? I assume you're running a CM ROM. The theme in my signature (JAMT white gradient) has the white menu you're referring to... here's the direct link to the free version: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cgas.jamtwg.free&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5jZ2FzLmphbXR3Zy5mcmVlIl0. But the paid version also themes the dialer white.
Thanks, will try it. I didn't really know how to change it, so I asked.

Is there a way to get the settings menu, quick settings, notification panel pure black and not grey? Seems whichever wallpaper I set (even solid black) it's not adhering to it...
Might have to wait until substratum can be used if not!
The irony of their colour scheme was not lost on me. I think they did this for a bit of retro feel so it looks like an LCD panel.
Come on Google, I know your designers are probably just 12 years old, but surely there are still some older people there that remember the light bleed issues of LCD displays of old, and that OLED was sold on being able to produce real blacks.
I just want pure black
Oh well, root will soon be amongst us I'm sure
I'm trying to find a wallpaper that is as black as possible, so the system themes it accordingly. But also one that doesn't have a tint to everything... Any recommendations? I just want notification panel etc to be black if possible but also for buttons ect to be a plain colour without a warm'ish tint to them...especially text, like I want that to be white whereas seems the system is adding a tint?
