In super amoled light background doesn't really affect the battery.
Other than your really conscious about the battery life i suggest turning off the LV wallpaper and replacing it with black.

Actually it's been proven otherwise back in November.
Black vs White background at different brightness levels:

Look forward to you comparison!
Don't surrender to colors!

Amoled works almost the same as plasma. Each pixel illuminates.

And brighter images use more power. Sucks manufacturers are limiting power consumption on plasmas by reducing power on bright images.

Umm yeah, welcome to 2009. We all know black colors use less power than white on amoled screens.

^seriously.
Also, who spends so much time looking at their wallpaper (especially a boring, solid color) to notice any difference?

I put black wallpaper I got those ugly black spots in the screen. blah

I used to use a black wallpaper because hey, why not, save on the battery, right?
Then I thought about how often my phone is actually displaying my wallpaper and decided it's a trivial matter. It's only ever a few seconds before I tap on something on my homescreen and it goes away. If I was constantly reading info off of widgets, at length, I'd care about it more.
These days I just load up whatever picture I think I'd like to see every now and then. Although I did like the clear contrast of pure black vs the icons etc.
Edit: Also the test linked to in one of the first replies, worth noting that Minimum brightness, white image is only slightly worse than the black results. Brightness matters more than color. Dial it down and look at whatever colors you like best.

Pssst...download no wallpaper app from market. Its a true no wallpaper display.

I've never used anything other than black on any mobile I've ever used.

I use a solid black wallpaper, but not to save battery. I just like the way it looks.

For me black wallpaper does matter coz if i open my phone its like 2 seconds before i launch and app leaving the home screen. ^o^

I suggest you themes with inverted apps like mine if you really wanna save something, a wallpaper does not saves that much

Doesn't this happen due to a low res not pure black image being used?
I never had that issue, so unless something is wrong with your display I suggest trying a different image

grainy screen.not a warrenty problem?

hi all xda members..as some of you might know that some galaxy nexus as purple tint and/or grainy screen.. well mine has a grainy screen at low brightness then at high brightness my screen looks like it gets burn in.. i sent it for repair and they said they cant see the fault or ''we could not replicate the fault mentioned''
are they stupid or??
Sent from my EPAD using xda premium

From what I've gathered from reading around, this is the nature of our displays. However there are some mods out, that may help the grain and purple tint.
I think the thread was in general.

i seen it i think but nothing really about grany screens. its only noticable on white and grey backgrounds.its really annoying...
Sent from my EPAD using xda premium

I think it is normal for pentile. But I can only notice it on lowest brightness and even then I must admit I kinda like it. Looks a bit like paper and the grain seems to be a common trend now (YouTube background for example)

Well, I've checked play store now and you are right - seems to be noticable on all brightness settings. Still though, it is normal for pentile.

But I think mine is really bad? Or am I just over reacting?

you can use the CM9 gamma values. I can tell you some good ones.

Tell me and I'll try some when my phones back please
Sent from my EPAD using xda premium

Maybe take some pictures of it when you have it so we can see how bad it is.

Gamma are
Color Multipliers
Red .66
Great .66
Blue .89
Color Gamma Tuning:
Red -10
Green -100
Blue -2
DSS gamma set :
Either 1.2 or 1.4
These bring out the colors way better. You will still get the grainy and purple at 0 brightness. But who looks at there phone at that.

I am in search of 1x1 widget substitute for Samsung original 2x1 widget Assistive Light so I have found your thread. I am sorry to say it, but your app is really something different. I miss two things:
Original widget react immediately, your has a delay.
Original widget use only approx 50% light intensity which is sufficient and polite to battery and LED. Your widget use 100% light intensity as any other ordinary light widget from Play Store.

App to adjust display color

The greatest weakness to an otherwise nice piece of hardware in my opinion is the OG Pro's blue-tinted display. The display is crisp and everything but there is such an obvious blue tinge when I compare to other phones I have. Does anyone know if there's an app to adjust screen color? There's one app that can allow you to add RGB color to the screen but not adjust. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great. Thanks.

I think you can play with the display settings with trickster mod

Thanks for the suggestion - I've tried it and it doesn't stick or actually make a difference on the screen. I've tried with stock kernel and the modified kernel that's available in the development section.

[Q] White theme is too bright. How can I change it to black?

Hi. I have a SM-P600 and white ui theme hurts my eyes. I need a way to change it to good old black style. With ui I mean settings pages, contacts, notfication panel... My device is rooted and I have xposed. Thx.

I really don't wanna do that. So I came up with a workaround. I'm using tasker to activate screen filter while s note is open and deactivate screen filter when I exit s note.

I use lux. It's a paid app but worth it for me.
The UI stays white, but you can set the brightness levels to suit you at different ambient light levels. Made a big difference to eye strain, especially at night.
