Hello everyone,
I am running stock with Franco kernel.
What settings is everyone using to calibrate their display? I haven't really messed with it, but am intrigued by the possible improvements that could be made.
Thanks,
Blue
Do you have francos app?
Galaxy Nexus AOKP m5 Franco kernel m3
Yes, sure do.

The experts (I mainly speak of supercurio) stresses not to share gamma and color settings. All of our screens + tastes vary so there's no one size fits all settings. Just play with the values until you get it where you like, then go download supercurio's display expert app. It works wonders

I know this question will cause some debate but what would you say is the best rom for the galaxy nexus?
ARHD
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
What does that mean??
You didn't see a rom in the dec section that might be abbreviated ARHD? Or any of the other "what's the best rom" threads, for that matter?

How about AOKP? Try that abbreviation
Terminators run on Android
I'm using rootzboat. I'm really good.

Definitely Android Revolution HD (ARHD). I tried others but none were as sweet as ARHD.
I used android revolution but was tired of being on 4.0.2 as the developer was waiting for Google to drop 4.0.3 binaries.
And Franco's kernel was for 4.0.3 only. So I started using Aokp and I simply love it. Aokp + Franco Kernel is a amazing mix for performance and battery.
Aokp also adds new features such as power saver to help with battery and with various status bar tweaks.
Aokp +, Franco kernel.... Nothing gets any better. Also Aokp pushes updates every other day so you can expect goodies every 3-5 days.

Always use Paul O'Brien Modaco roms. They simply work and let you get on with customising your phone.

RootzBoat is by far my favorite. I like how it stay's true to AOSP and just adds little extras. Nothing too fancy and feels smooth.
I haven't installed one yet...I'm looking at Android Revolution and AOKP right now, but leaning toward the latter because I'd love to give Franco's a shot. Problem is I'm kind of thinking I should just wait for 4.0.3 to drop and go from there. I'd like to get it the day it drops, if possible.
Right now I'm just using stock rooted+unlocked with the 4.0.3 radio firmware. I'd love to install some graphical mods (mainly a status bar battery mod) but can't on Stock =(

I used arhd since getting the phone. But wanted 4.0.3. So switched to aokp. But for some reason had delays when unlocking the phone. And sometimes when typing. Tried wiping etc. No joy
So I am now using eagles blood with Franco kernal and can't fault it at all. Fb sync and the lock screen and great features.
For a perfect from I would want the power saver and UI mods of aokp. With the cm9 launcher mods. And the eb lock screen. Someone want to make it for me!

Haven't tried any others, but Axiom is great. Wait for 2.4 update for VZW services fix though.
AOKP looks cool. They have the HC quick settings menu and a slew of options. Pretty slick.
RootzBoat has a good rom too with lots of options. I just hate how they label everything RootzBoat (wallpaper, carrier id, etc). I'm also using AOSP CM9 Kangs too. They're all fun. I typically flip between them when one has a few feature that I like.
RootzBoat has a Centered clock option, notification LED color options, and a 4-way lockscreen... but no notification toggles.
I get awesome battery on my CM9 Kang. BIG difference between it and RootzBoat.
I also noticed that MIUI was updated yesterday to a pretty usable state. I haven't personally tried it, and there are some bugs still, but it should be useable now.
AOKP rocks! But I cant wait to see how CM9 develops. They have to add something special to make me leave AOKP.
Me too I've tried other 4.0.3 but to me they just don't compare to the constant smoothness of ARHD

I agree! This rom + franco's kernel waaayyy better than ARHD..... Love the quick toggles and being able to customize without having to flash or "bake" roms....
Another aokp here...it rocks!

Ive searched high and low for a way to adjust colors without having to change the stock kernel
Is there a way to do it? I mostly want to get rid of the grey/purple stuff at low brightness and maybe improve the colors(no that it needs much improvement)
Im running stock JB
Thanks in advance

Purple greys at low brightness are a hardware defect. Adjusting that would make other colors appear very strange.

And no, as far as I know those changes require a kernel that supports it...
If you do change though, the trinity kernel for jb makes the colors look much better

Is it fast/ compared to stock JB kernel? Ive been told that with jb is better to stick to stock kernel for best performance and battery life

Look for the Trickster Mod app in the app section. It allows for tweaking the colours as well if you have a compatible kernel.

After flashing codename android 3.3.1 changing the color settings I.e gamma and multipliers all is good. I recently switched to glados then Franco then popcorn kernel. All of which say they allow color multiplier tuning. But in rom control its faded out.
Anybody know why or how to enable this through the kernel any help would be appreciated

I know with Trinity there are commands that can be issued through terminal, not sure of the one you mentioned, but the easiest way would be through the apps made to tune each specific kernel.
Yeah I figured but Trinity doesn't play nice with my phone and as much as I would love to support the devs I have no money to give yet. But what's the point of the rom control settings to adjust that when they can't. Maybe something in the kernel is stopping the settings from modifying the values?

ROM control probably only works with the default kernel.
Yeah probably wonder why seems to work in cyanogen or is it because they add something to there source to allow that do you know

Not all kernels support the CM type colour controls.
Try Faux or Lean kernel if you want to use the ROM colour controls. If not download and install the free Trickster Mod app and it should allow you to control colour on most kernels.

Hello everybody i bought this fantastic device 3 days ago and it performs very well...
i've already tried many custom Roms, but the one i like is the stock jelly bean rom, but it has some problems...
the Audio is too low, i tried Volume+ on Market but is not compatible with JB, so do you have any suggestions? any zip file to flash?
the other things i don't like is the auto brightness sensor... it keep the light too low. is there some mod to fix this?
i would like also to Flash franco.kernel with 384oc GPU, do you suggest me? is it possible to fix the other two problems only flashing francokernel?
PS: do you know some trick to manage the status led?
..for the status led, I'm using LightFlow, even bought it for 1.7euro (free version doesn't have FB and some others) ... not like i did much research , Lite version did what i wanted it to do, so i bought full. .. is not that much when you pay ~400 for a phone..
ok for lightflow, is fantastic!
but someone know how can I improve the autoBrightness and the volume?? is very important for me!
are there any roms that is capable of doing these two thins?
For auto brightness try lux auto brightness from play store,the best application to control the brightness in automatic mode.
For sound you need a custom kernel,go to development section.

Hello Cristian, I've got my GNex about 4 days and I found the same flaws you described, so I downloaded the Nexus toolkit to unlock the bootloader, root it, and install recovery, once I did that I installed the franco kernel, the kernel updater gives you the option to modify the colors and the brightness, I hate the yellowish white that the screen has by default so I would strongly recommend you to use the settings recommended by franco to tune up the screen and to use a static brightness, my screen looks amazing now. In regards to the audio, the app has an option to improve it however it only applies for the headphones, not for the speaker (at least I couldn't notice any difference). For the LEDs use lightflow pro. Cheers!

I have the exact same problem as you with the yellow whites. What did you change with the colors?
Did you add more blue and remove more red and green?

I have looked through the forum, and even on CM's forum, but did not find the answer I was looking for, so I ask, if thats okay.
I am Using the newest stable CM 10.1, and I would like to replace the kernel that allows overclocking. I have seen Francos Kernel, but I do not know how well it likes the New CM10.1.
Any suggestions maybe?
Thanks
fancy kernel maybe?

Thanks Everyone.
I went ahead, and made a Nandroid backup, flashed the kernel using fastboot.
Works so far.
Only things I have seem to lost are the colour hacks, and the GPU speed setting. Hmm...

Glados can go to a 2.0 GHz! Most phones cant go that high but you can try if you want

Nvm. Got everything working. CPU/GPU speed control. Also Voltage/Colour control VIA Trickster mod.
Thanks for suggesting Fancy Kernel
