Gradient/Color Banding - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

After I flashed AOKP M5 I noticed gradient banding on my screen. Instead of a smooth gradient it now has distinct lines throughout it. Its prevalent in the settings and other ICS-like menus. Anyone know what causes this and how to fix it?

I don't think a rom can cause banding. Both of my Nexuses have shown banding on stock and on AOKP.

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 "

[Q] Washed Out Screen? [Jellybean]

So I installed a stock rooted Jellybean ROM & upgraded from ICS. I did not erase any of my settings/apps/etc. I simply updated using ODIN on my computer.
Jellybean is running fine, however I have noticed that the colors are washed out on the lock & home screens. I searched around and found only 1 user experiencing this issue & someone's solution was to disable the ripple effect. Doing that does solve the washed out color on the lock screen, but I shouldn't have to disable this when it worked on ICS. Disabling ripple didn't fix the faded home screen color.
Anyone having this problem and/or know a real solution other than to disable an animation effect?
I just updated and am noticing the same thing. Have you found a solution?

[REQUEST] Old Ripple Lock screen

Hi, i was wondering if anyone can provide the "old" ripple effect lockscreen, ever since JB, there's a whitish tint on the left side of the lockscreen, which becomes noticable when using a dark lockscreen wallpaper. There's nothing wrong with my screen, when I unlock it or disable the ripple effect, the tint's gone :/

No tint here.
old ripple lock screen also has tint screen
the tint was on the right lower zone
in jelly bean the tint shifted to left lower zone
believe me
I had tested with both iCS & JB
it is especially significant with black wallpaper

Hello,
I think the following screenshot shows the issue very clear:
Normally, the wallpaIper is fully in black, without any stains. Is it possible to solve this problem?
I don't know
maybe some developer could develop a MOD to fix it
I don't also like that tint
coz I used to use black wallpaper
now I can't use black because of that tint

Just untick ripple
Got the same thing when moved to 4.1...
First time I thought that had a problem. Then, read that disabling ripple effect wouldn't show that stain.
Miss the ripple!

dead/stuck/burn pixel ??

hi there, im here feeling frustated to have found my gnex with this yellow colored wavy tinted on my screen.
i got this 2nd hand with very cheap price. im very happy with the performance but this colored tinted really irritates me especially when im running app with white background(sms, whatsapp, etc) which will make it more obvious.
anyone with this problem and know how to fix it? my last option would be to change the digitizer of course.
currently on latest nexushd with color setting to reduce the yellowness.
T_T... its almost the perfect phone for me.....ughh
from the picture, u can see that the less yellow tinted part is where the statusbar and the navigation bar reside.
my theory is that the black colored of the statusbar and navigation bar save the screen from the tints.

Black/Dark Colours Horizontal Lines found on Display

So I recently noticed that black horizontal bars have been appearing when a dark image is displayed. I have a dark theme applied onto TW and when the keyboard is opened onto a white-ish background I see them. This also occurs when I'm viewing certain dark images. And also even the Yahoo shortcut icon in Samsung Internet app shows a feint purple bar beneath it. Is this most likely a defect in hardware? I bought this from Samsung Canada and I don't know how they deal with these kinds of things will they replace it.....

Just get it checked with your Samsung asap. I don't know for sure whether it is defected or software problem or what, or will replace or fix or whatever. But if you're curious, check with THEM.
