I have flashed both Sense and AOSP roms (repeatedly) and am constantly struck by the increased contrast and saturation of the screen image with Sense roms. In addition, images appear to have smoother edges and less pixelation.
My question is, do Sense roms use a different dithering algorithm than AOSP and do they tweak saturation and contrast levels as well as use a softer focus? It is not just a matter of adjusting RGB. Sense roms just have better "depth" to their presentation than AOSP.
Would like to hear from someone that knows of such things and also if anyone else has noticed this?
P.S., I know that AOSP roms offer the option of Desktop Dithering; however, even with that selected the image quality on Sense roms is superior IMHO.

ok, i have lots or large high res backgrounds for my phone. all are jpgs. whenever i set them as backgrounds on the evo the image quality is severely degraded. its almost like changing from a 16mil color jpg to a 256 color bmp. whats the deal with this?
Probably because the EVO isn't a 1080p device. It's 480x800. 960x800 is the resolution you should be using for wallpapers. Downsize them first on your computer using Photoshop or something similar, to preserve the quality as much as possible.
resizing the images to 960x800 and keeping the aspect ratio actually makes the images look worse. im thinking its more of a cm6 problem. it does not do this with any sense based rom.
And I'm thinking it's an issue of one of your apps, or whatever app you're using to downsize, as nobody else has issues with wallpapers on CM6.
Anyone know how to get an increased colour depth when using LauncherPro? The wallpaper I've got has nasty banding as opposed to being blended. MIUI and Sense manage it so must be something
Maybe how the rom is set to interprit images? You could change some settings for your screen maybe.

hi all
i just flashed a couple of different roms on my lg g3. All the AOSP roms had better quality display than stock. Why is it really so? are there any options in stock to make the resolution better?
currently i am in clodyG3 2.5 the icons and text looks bit bigger and blurry whereas in other aosp based roms the text were so clear and crispy.
edit: i installed texdroider_dpi and changed the dpi to 560. fixed the issue
Hello All,
I just installed CM 13 on my Galaxy Note 4 and although i love the ROM, i noticed the color saturation of the screen is a bit dull and washed out compared to Touchwiz ROMs. Is there any way to boost up the saturation of the screen?

Not sure if this answers your question, but the first thing that I did was turn off the LiveDisplay feature (which is on by default in the 9/19 build). That changes the color temperature of your display based on the time of day. It's under Settings>Display & Lights (also in the quick bar by default).

Try going into Settings -> Advanced Display, and set the mDNIe scenario to Video. I'm not well acquainted with this setting, but it looks to me like that increases the saturation.
I might be the only one (I didn't find similar complaints) but I don't like how S4 renders black text on white background. It's as if the "sharpness" setting was too high, plus I notice colorful artifacts coming from subpixel font antialiasing (for people not knowing what I'm talking about: forums.macrumors.com/attachments/screen-shot-2013-03-12-at-5-10-16-pm-png.402071/. In the past I didn't have problems with sub-pixel rendering, but the way S4 does it bothers me.
I tried changing screen modes and using custom fonts but nothing helps. After updating to Pie it's a little better but still not as nice as I get on my monitor or a phone.
So to sum up I would like to have two settings which I can't currently find anywhere:
- enabling grayscale font antialiasing
- reducing "sharpness"
The question is if the Modesty ROM or other roms have support for these settings, or they change the rendering engine?
