Just wondering if the motherboard on a SLCD Desire can support an AMOLED screen. I know the possibility is low, but it would be nice to get a new screen with potential battery savings.

AFAIK Amoled is not better in battery efficiency comparing with SLCD... it has better blacks & colors but eats slightly more battery, correct me if i'm wrong.
(i have Amoled)
Oh, I was under the impression that using dark themes would turn the black pixels completely off, saving battery life, and having the darker blacks you speak of. If it doesn't save on battery, it would still be nice to have deeper blacks, I like change just for the sake of change lol

You're right. Pure black pixels are off. Because led emit their own light and lcd are back lit, amoled screens are more battery efficient. However you cant put an amoled screen on a mainboard for an slcd

Thanks! That's all I needed to know

I just picked up a Galaxy Nexus from WIND Mobile.
I have to say, the one thing I dread the most about AMOLED is the black/bright contrast. My eyes are very sensitive, and whenever I see something bright against an intensely dark background I get halos and it's very difficult to focus. For this reason I prefer LCD screens where the blacks are slightly grey. Nonetheless I decided to make the leap to the GNex because I like a lot of other things about it.
Do you think there is any sort of hack that could make the AMOLED look a bit more like an LCD? I realize this would affect battery life but basically what I'd like is to hack the colour space so that black becomes maybe 1-5% grey. I remember on CM7 there were hacks that could apply filters to make white into a more salmon-pinkish hue, a warmer white, etc. What I'm looking for is the reverse - leave the white alone but make the blacks greyer.
Anyone think this might be possible?
I don't know a specific solution, but here are some options:
If you're rooted, francois kernel and app can adjust the Gama levels, affecting all colors, but may help.
App Log graph can adjust your auto brightness levels.
Yes I am rooted.
Does increasing the gamma change the black levels? If so that could help.

The black on my phone at highest brightness is a little bit grey..

It seems to depend on the app. Some apps have a gentle dark grey gradient in the background. But the stock taskbar, even at full brightness, is just as black as the same part of the screen is when the screen is off.
Not trying to be a comedian here, but have you gotten your eyes checked lately?
Seeing halos is linked to several severe eyediseases or wearing wrong/none correction.
+1. Yup.

Fair enough. Optometrist says my eyes are healthy but I have large pupils that don't contract very efficiently. As a result I get halo effects at high contrast even when using proper vision correction. It's not something that poses a health threat otherwise. But he did advise me strongly against laser eye surgery as there would be a high risk of halos getting worse.
So that's me in a nutshell.

Super dim is a root app and it can lower the brightness below the normal values

I'm not looking to lower the brightness - I know how to do that already. I'm looking to decrease the contrast by making the black levels greyer.

Found an app that dims your screen more than the stock brightness it helps save battery and helps when its dark.
Link!

wish they'd find away to get rid of the app installing bug .... Juicedefender has the same problem ...
Built into NardROM already.. good app to save battery..

Just a quick FYI, this will only give a battery life improvement on AMOLED screens. AMOLED is special like that. Using this app on an LCD-based device will, if anything, have a negative impact on battery life, as it's not influencing the actual backlight at all.
(P.S. Let's dispel this myth right now -- AMOLED displays DO NOT have a backlight. The pixels themselves emit light. AMOLED displays are literally nothing more than hundreds of thousands of very tiny LEDs made from organic compounds, and a clever transistor layout.)
hey guys, my htc one x screen broke and sent it fir repair were they changed the screen obviously. I just got it back, and for some reason the screen is significantly brighter. And no i dont mean the screen brightness that can be adjusted.i mean the colors are brighter, like facebook is really light blue!! Any help?

It is NOT AS SERIOUS as on this image(its a image from google)
On my display there are maybe 8 small dots and a little bigger one in the screen corner. It is only visible on a totally black wallpaper.
What is it????

Does it only appear on a completely black screen?
Mine 2 appear only when the screen is completely black...not off but when it is completely black like in a wallpaper or video

If you're talking about the individual pixels that stand out, then you may have a few stuck pixels... not dead pixels... stuck pixels. This is indicative of a damaged and/or defective panel. Truthfully, other than an RMA or replacing the panel, there's not much you can do about this.
However, if you're talking about the black splotches on the screen, that's a frequently occurring anomaly common to OLED displays. It's called miura, and it's perfectly normal. It's not a manufacturing defect and it's not a sign of damage to the panel. Furthermore, it should only be noticeable on a completely black screen and in a nearly pitch black environment, like in a very dark room.
For your sake, I really hope you were talking about the splotches and not the funky pixels. I hope this has been informative and/or useful/helpful. Take care and have a good one man!

What do you guys think it's more vibrant or saturated? Standard or Dynamic display?

I've gotten accustomed to oled and prefer it even over higher end lcd panels. Especially on this GS4 as oled has really come a long way. I like using the "adapt display" as it gets super bright in outdoor sunlight, brighter than any other mode when on auto-brightness. The colors look good without too much over saturation
