Franco and Trinity kernels both do this. Is it supposed to save on the battery? I personally find it irritating to look at, but maybe I'll get used to it.
All screens are slightly different, so why don't you just change the gamma values? Francos app allows you to easily do this

Is that really it? Screens are different? That seems weird, since if I change all 3 values to 0 its fine.

Yeah. Mine looks fine with default values. -4 0 5

Kernel isn't changing screen color...
But rather enabling the option to do so.
So if you have an app/setting in your rom enabling color control, it's automatically using THOSE settings upon boot.
What file do I edit? I can't remember what file it was when I was running the Franco kernel... it was somewhere in /system

I just installed this app last night and started messing around with it. I have mine set at 200 everything looks good. This is how the Evo should have shipped IMO. My question is, will this damaged the LCD at some point in time? Or is it harmless to our phones?

Haven't tried the app, but there is a script that is on the Cyanogen Forum that does the same thing, but the changes are persistent after a reboot.

Well I think their is a setting where you can save your current as the system default.

There is, but it doesn't stick on Gingerbread roms...at least not in my experience. The script from Lithid does though.

Both editing the buil.prop and using lcd density app work on GB. I personally use the app cause i switch back and forth.

You need to use adw launcher or a similar product that allows you to add more then 4 icons in a row/column. This will allow you to change the size of the widgets.
Hi everyone. I'm using my E4GT on AOKP Build 33 and Codename Android and everyone constantly talks about changing DPIs. I'm just wondering... what are the pros and cons to changing DPI? And what problems are known to occur if you do so? If I'm not mistaken, DPI stands for dots per inch, so wouldn't a higher DPI be better in terms of quality? Why would people want to lower it then? Thanks.

I do it because more fits on the screen and makes it look more high Res. Typical settings would be something from the 180-200 range but I prefer 160. Some cons would be maybe harder to press on screens buttons since their smaller, some apps not working and market not being compatible at that DPI. Just try it out and see if you like it. I would start at 200 and go lower from there if you want.

So I just tried out SlimBean for the GS3 and it works great. It fixes some of the annoyances I was having with CM9/10.
SlimBean allows the user to change the DPI settings (assuming through the build.prop file). The default value makes everything very small and would be great if all my widgets were justified correctly.
Does anyone know what DPI setting I should use to have the stock look & feel/icon size? From what I can tell the default is 241...
Do it in steps of 2 what i mean first 243 dpi then 245 etc until you found the perfect dpi

I totally agree. You want to take it real slow when editing the DPI. I would make a backup first before even thinking about changing anything like that.
320 is a good one. You can go to developer settings and change it instead of using the build prop editor.
Did a nandroid backup and stepped through a few different DPI settings. Turns out 320 is what I was looking for.
Thanks for the help.

Fwiw, 320 is the default, from the factory setting

under which header is it? I don't see it there.
Easy fix(without messing with build.prop): Definitely nandroid backup first. Then download this app: TexDroider DPI.
Worked wonders for me just now. Everything looks great at 320 dpi. It was previously 220.

I can't understand why this one is so popular, I find it to have this ugly violet-bluish tint..
Nevertheless, I'm using 240/255/240 on Fauxclock..

It's the most popular one because this one is a calibrated one. One of the users on N4 display control app thread has used his professional screen calibrator. That's why.
Use LG preset and not Google preset on fauxclock. Though the most important are not the color settings but Gamma! It's the biggest flaw of our screen!

Downloaded some pictures and an app yesterday to help me with gamma...
Here are my updated settings:
http://shrani.si/f/1L/CM/4IYI8h4W/screenshot2013-01-27-23-.png
+gamma amp adjust 1 are all 0.
Anyone interested should give it a try, I believe this should be the most balanced reproduction of colours(at least on my screen) and also whites are white. :highfive:
LG preset with Gamma 0 all to 31 gives us approx. 2.2 to all 3 colors using Display Tester app, which is what we want. As for color, I don't see much difference between settings. Gamma changes everything.

With the above settings you at least get some balance between colors(not just RGB, combinations too) , all around 1.8 - 1.9.
With all up to 31, the screen looks dark and murky and the colors go way higher than 2.2. Even with the correct setting of RGB with all around 2.2, the combinations are completely out of balance, with yellow and cyan at around 2.5, magenta at 2.0 and grey at around 2.6.
Could be we have different displays though.
what other apps do i use to change the gamma besides fauxclock app? thankssssss

Is there any reliable way to change display resolution to 720p?
Anybody?

you can change your dpi by manually editing your build.prop, or use an app like textdroider dpi.

The question is about screen size, not density.

This one is working, root required. Here you have some presets and you can edit the values as you like, too.
Both of these are interesting options. I am testing, there is a bit lagginess though.
