What does Voodoo Color do? I haven't noticed a difference....... - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I know that voodoo color restores color and stuff found on this link....
http://project-voodoo.org/color
I was just wondering if anyone noticed a difference in their screen. Can someone tell me what this fix does to our Samsung Epic?
Thanks

You won't notice a difference unless you compare a phone with Voodoo to a phone without. Voodoo removed the green/blue tint Super Amoled screens have, but it's only noticeable when compared to an LCD showing the same image.

I THINK you have to crank the brightness all the way up for it to kick in. Unless it's changed since I used it.

[KERNEL] [POLL] SpeedMod Color Tests

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?

would be nice, let me explain:
purple: samsung (blue?)
green: zstupy
blue: hardcore (purple?)
red: supercurio
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!
Tony
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?

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 "

Colored darkness filters

I've been looking for apps that can apply filters to the color of what's being rendered on screen, I've found two apps so far. One is exclusive for samsung galaxy devices and the other is Chainfire 3D, which doesn't work on ICS. I was wondering if anyone knows of any apps or custom roms that can achieve this effect, basically make the screen even darker than usual by only displaying everything in one color. I know this is used for some OLED screens to save battery life, but it would be great for me in low light environments.
There's an app called Screen Filter but I'm not sure if you have the option to change the color.

Color tweaks (calibration)??

Would there ever happen to be a way to tweak the screen color (gains and offsets of RGB like a TV) on phones? Mind you that I really REALLY do appreciate that Samsung gives us the ability to choose color tones (set to Movie now but still a little too blue for my taste), but I tend to be a total pretentious douchebag when it comes to color quality and was wondering if there ever would be a way to tweak it.

Question AMOLED Black theme?

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?
