can i return the "quality" back to my phone?
thx for helping...

do you have this issue with your display or with pictures you take using the integrated camera?
It kind of looks like a low color depth.
Do you have this problem with every dark area on your phone? Does it appear on plain black screens or only if you have a gradient in a dark colored area?
I have had a similar issue with the background image in the HTC Music player background which disappeared after installing the REvolution-Theme

I having those issues everywhere. .. and now
i noticed that on very bright images too...
Even at the clock apk background where
There is a gradient blur behind it.
But no display issues on surfing thou.

That's over-brightness...
probably exaggerated gamma. Easily done on a computer... Due to the exaggerated gamma, there's a uneven flow of colors, hence the color banding you're seeing.

i dont think its over brightness because at the stock rom i didnt get the display issues.
i must say that the display issues are more effective with gradient dark colors...

That, my friend, is not an issue of the ROM...

i only said that it was happening just after flashing the rom [rom kernel radio etc...]
on the stock rom, without all rooting\flashing roms it didnt appear.
here are example taken from my desire hd:

Do full wipe and install again.

do think the problem is on the rom flash or karnel flash?
on the first time i did a full wipe + run the "easy wipe tool "

[Q] Is it possible to deactivate the wallpaper?

Hi there,
yesterday I´ve flashed to Oxygen 2.0.3.
Then I´ve installed the live wallpaper (PhotoWal) I was using when my Desire was on original HTC Android 2.2 rom.l
But it looks like that PhotoWall has some problems under Android 2.3.3. It steadily crashes and after this the background is black. But after it has been crashed I´ve noticed that the Phone speed has increased very much. The animations are so smooth that it looks similiar to the iphones animations.
Then I thought about creating a small picture which is just black and use it as standard wallpaper (Maybe it would be as fast as without a wallpaper loaded).
Unfortunately this hasn´t worked... the speed is pretty slow if I compare it to the setting without a wallpaper.
I don´t want to load the PhotoWall wallpaper and waiting for a crash all the time, so... does anybody know if it is possible to deactive the whole wallpaper?
I know that it will look kinda naked but I really like it because it is reacting very very quickly.
Thanks in advance!

I use this file, created with MSPaint.
I have read that having black backgrounds also improves the battery life.

Yes it does improve because amoled doesn't use power for black pixels. That's what I heard anyway.

[REQ] white theme

Hi there devs
so i have a simple request (i think) i would like a white theme that is just like stock ICS... so leave all the blue, and such, just turn the black into white (with the exception of the nav bar and status bar) everything else, either white or a light grey (kinda like MIUI is but except having the orange have the stock ICS blue, i would go to MIUI but 1. i hate orange, and 2, i have market place issues with MIUI)
i really hope someone can take on this project and do this for me... i knwo alot of other users might like the same thing...
thanks in advance, and of course donations will be given for the hard work

Like this?
If so you can download that from Nitroz, HERE

No... I don't want the blue accent changed to white. I want all the current black backgrounds white/light grey. Etc. You go into settings the whole background is black. I want white/light grey.
And I want the icons to stay ics stock. Not to change.
Get what I mean?

Doesn't exactly meet your criteria but this is the closest to white you're gonna get: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/20805-th...-formerly-known-as-un-blacked-out-by-bgill55/
Also, this Sense 4 theme (which I use and love) is going to be released in white (apparently) so check it out and stick about for more updates if interested: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1548618

and ya i saw that ghost one... dont like that at all... like i said above, looking for the exact same thing as AOSP black but for someone to turn the menu backgrounds (eg settings) into white...
ya i am using the sense theme now. i like it, but wanting to try the white one... but i dont like the green of it... hence why i would like what i mentioned above made... i'm sure there are plenty out there looking for AOSP white holo...

I second this. Black is nice, but its nice to have a white based theme. Not completely white. Just white menus, and stock ICS apps that look right with white and respective font color to meet the white.

exactly! so like the contact app is right now.... when you open it it was a white/light grey... i want that everywhere like in the setting... that background in the setting screen, call log, dial pad, etc etc etc but leaving the blue ICS signal meter , etc, etc as it is

I want a white theme too

I want white on my nav bar around the buttons.

That challenge would be incredibly difficult. I think BGill's theme is the closest you're going to get from a guy who started Android theming.

that makes me sad and im sure alot of others... do you got a link to that theme you are refering to?...

Android's GUI Identity Crisis

Been playing with Jelly Bean for a couple of days now, and can't help feel that it's almost got a split personality when it comes to the graphics..
Some of the Android menus are the ICS style black and neon blue, but there are more and more screens creeping in with the new Google style white / grey look
Do you think Android's going to move more to having a consistent white / grey look as it gets developed? Or are we going to be left with mixed system themes for a while?

They introduced the new Intent Action launcher (the white one, 1st screen) to avoid the data tapping Apple's patent. However I like the Holo Light theme, I think that Google is playing with Light and Dark theme not to bore the users.

Holo Light and Holo Dark both follow Android Design Guidelines.

The Nexus 7 uses an IPS screen, which does whites well but blacks can look not as good as on AMOLED screens.
That may be another reason for more white. Im not a fan but I see the need for comprimise. I wish we could toggle the theme between light ahd dark Holo in Google apps, though.

I'm also no fan of the mixed themes. I really always think how cheap it looks when it switches colors. I think the system should have a switch for either everything black or everything white. I'm missing the feeling that I'm on a professional system when it comes to software ui.
On the other hand it totally sucks that even bigger developers like tapatalk for example just don't follow these rules... So many NEW apps just look ugly... Hope this will change sooner or later...

Messaging and contacts had the same white theme in ICS, so this style isn't new to JB. It is kind of a design clash, but not one I find very annoying as they do work together.

You're right about the messaging app. This works for me too. But the contacts has the blue bar at top and overall blue lines which makes it look totally different....

Your right some kind of theme selection would be nice. I'm guessing they went from more black to more white because their launch device went from a amoled screen to an lcd. A bummer for battery life on the Gnex. The good news is cm and aokp should have the theme manager integrated at some point.

But it sure would be nice of google to give us more choice on the front end, a dark, light and maybe blue and red toggle theme switch would be so freaking awesome and make the "unique" apple homescreens just look even more ridiculous.

Maybe so, but it still looks inconsistent.
I would've thought it would make more sense for all system screens to be one theme or the other rather than mixing them.
Surely it wouldn't be too hard to program it so the user could select a dark or light theme then have it applied across the whole system?

Maybe it would be more uniform, but not much flavor. I agree, I do like holo dark, and sometimes wish it could be applied system wide (which is why I install themes and inverted gapps) but I think this way it gives developers more options as to how to design their apps, because some might like it lighter or darker.

I like the mix of colours :thumbup:

Microsoft accomplished it. The interface looks so nice only thing I hate about it is too much text... Everything is text. Mostly no icons. Kind of boring. But let's not talk about win phone 7...

I hate ICS blue so I like this new white/gray theme.

White/Gray/Black > ICS Blue.
I feel like the contrast goes well with the display.

dead/stuck/burn pixel ??

hi there, im here feeling frustated to have found my gnex with this yellow colored wavy tinted on my screen.
i got this 2nd hand with very cheap price. im very happy with the performance but this colored tinted really irritates me especially when im running app with white background(sms, whatsapp, etc) which will make it more obvious.
anyone with this problem and know how to fix it? my last option would be to change the digitizer of course.
currently on latest nexushd with color setting to reduce the yellowness.
T_T... its almost the perfect phone for me.....ughh
from the picture, u can see that the less yellow tinted part is where the statusbar and the navigation bar reside.
my theory is that the black colored of the statusbar and navigation bar save the screen from the tints.
