Just to share this with you guys..
With every display that I use, I try to have it calibrated and I was trilled that with the nexus I had so much control over the screen!! Never had a phone with so much control
You have here my results.
Just be aware that the "before" is with trinity kernel stock color scheme and I'm really grateful that his market tool and not to forget franco.kernel tool too,made possible for me to calibrate...
I used a 18% gray card to make sure white balance was spot on when converting the raw files into smaller jpg.
I did find that sometimes the changes did not apply so I did a double check by exaggerating the values when making the changes. Contrast was one of them..
On the graphs, the white dotted line is the reference
Only problem with this is that not all screens are the same so these settings will not work for everybody
My calibrated values
tint
red 200
green 169
blue 178
gamma
red 2
green 0
blue 0
disable dynamic contrast
contrast value 0
If you use franco.kernel tool
gamma 1.0
If you like image with more contrast, i would set it between -6 to -10
Very interesting and the before/after photos look good. Is there a problem with burn in?

Looks a little red for me. Your results look great though.
The improvement in the color of the dog photo is drastic. Trinity kernel does come with the blue really cranked up for some reason. Looking good now.

for whatever reason trinity seems to be giving me better screen color, but im sure I could do the same with franco, anyways, my gamma settings are untouched, I found that modifying the color to these values makes the purple tint go away for me:
Red:135
Green:135
Blue:190
Trinity Contrast -15 to -25
If you look at the calibrated rgb graph, red is a few points bellow reference. And again if you look at the color temperature line it is a little above 6500k. It is normal for first reaction about red when actually your missing blue because almost every screen you are used too has to much blue on it..yet again there's the tint problem on a bunch of nexus too.. if I get my hands on one of them I'll post here the results
Edit: for you "red guys" try to invert the red with blue values
Red 178
Blue 200
BUT keep gamma the same.

you're welcome.
Outstanding. I was wondering if using my colorometer would work on the phone. Looks like I have a nice project for this weekend I need to revalidate my HT and PC too so might as well throw the phone in there too :O
Use hcfr and the color swatch app from the Market..
If you get stuck on gamma, don't sweat it too much.. I spent an hour trying to get it right, no luck with this screen. Colors are bang on though.
For those who don't know, 6500k is the reference color temperature. To most people it looks too red or even yellow, but it's what the whole publishing and photography world uses.

or you can install mxplayer,
get from here:
http://www.avsforum.com/t/948496/avs-hd-709-blu-ray-mp4-calibration
the mp4 version, extract it, goto to:
ColorHCFR Fields folder,
10% Grayscale folder
and use that files with mxplayer.
My gamma is 99% spot on. I go for 2.3x since with amoled screen the black mml is almost zero, you will not sacrifice shadow content and have a great contrast
I don't get it, how you use hcfr with android? I tried but I just can test my monitor (pc) =/ is there a guide or something?
the way I do right now is testing with http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/ and setting manually parameters on phone until it looks great.

Yup, just like you use it to calibrate your HT screen. I run a long usb cable to my PC and use a DVD I burned with an ISO of test screens.
Thanks for the tips on test screens for the phone. saves me the time searching them out
I was searching on web I found that I need a meter, for that is the usb port right? (like spyder2 or EyeOne) mmm I was conecting my phone XD first time trying this tools. Now I understand what all this is about.
That looks that I will be doing this as usual =/ with my only 2 eyes :cyclops: meter XDD ohh wait that's just one of them xDD
well thanks for answer and that pic looks great. Right now I'm on CM10 and config my screen with their "advance" tool and comparing to the webpage I shared. That looks good too but I perceive a little bit reddish on dark colors. Thats so F******* better than blue one XD now looks like Super Amoled plus the contrast is pretty similar to SGS3.
Great post, thank you!
Excellent information, thanks!

Ok so I just wanted some1 to test something for me. I want to know if the yellow tint can be cancelled with a gradient overlay. So done an little app to test this.
Need some1 who has this yellow tint really bad and can see it very easily.
Again this is just a test and may amount to nothing, I need volunteers as I don't have this defect enough to see it accurately at 20% brightness.
The app is safe as there is no burn in mode yet. Just the ability to custom create a 3 point gradient from left to right with variable pixel widths for each segment.
So if anyone can test that has this really bad, that would be great.
IMPORTANT:
This little app has no burn in method yet so completely safe.
THIS IS NOT A THREAD TO ***** OR COMPLAIN AT SAMSUNG!!!
All I want to know is does this cancelling gradient help.
Start, Mid, End buttons set the settings panel to control the points (LEFT to RIGHT)
P = position
R = red
G = green
B = blue
A = alpha
So if you have a yellow tint, then you want to start with blue and alpha etc!
Updated the app to default all 3 points to 119,119,119 a 255 so the starting points are the same col as the bg
UPDATED
Not ment to be that user friendly at the moment
If it does actually do something, then I will probably have nice sliders and ability to save setting etc. Just cant be arsed doing that if it's a none starter.

Mine has the yellow tint on the left side but I'm having trouble figuring out how to use this app. It does seem to be changing gradients.
I should have made the gradients to default to gray, will alter and put new version up later today, may do a little vid on how to use also

Well, if some1 can manage to do an inverse gradient to their yellow tint, then I would enable saving in the app, and enable burn-in, that does just that, full brightness pixel values for extended periods of time to tint the display inversely to the yellow tint, thus attempting to lessen the effect.
Ideally I want some1 with a bad example tint who also has no way to return their phone to try it
Hi everyone, forgive if anything like this is already up (I searched and found nothing). But I completely customized the text messaging appearance so that it takes advantage of the pure black that the AMOLED uses.
(This is all using the app: "Handcent SMS")
I downloaded "handcent SMS" went into settings --->custom style--->bubble settings:
Here is where I Changed Conversation style to: Android
Background color: pure black (all colors to zero)
Incoming background and outgoing background to: pure black
(By then everything should be black)
Now this is what makes the effect happen:
I adjusted incoming font color to pure red (255)
Then I put outgoing font color to 138-Green and 255-Blue
I adjusted both fonts to size 22.
I Also noticed that the date font color also helps with the effect and I have mine at 83-green.
So once you have all these setting in place, the pure black and the incoming red font should look like it pops right out at you, while the blue outgoing font color sits in the back!!!
I noticed the effect pops out more outside or whenever theres a more light in the room!
(First write up, forgive if I'm not as thorough as I should be)
Give it a shot, mess around with the colors!
Interesting effect. I do like the glossy black background. Though I found the pure red to be too harsh. I settled on official Android Blue (51, 181, 229) for the incoming text font color.
Will try it out for a few days to see whether it's a keeper.
Update: Making the incoming text font a couple of points larger than the outgoing enhances the 3D effect.

Eh, the red text certainly pops out but I wouldn't say it does so in a 3d kind of way. In fact it looks sort of pixelated to me and harsh to look at. More like it's grabbing my attention by being so stark compared to the rest of the screen.
I think I like your color settings for the outgoing text though, very easy on the eyes. I'm messing around with options for the other color, so far I'm working with max green, mid blue and red.

Blue and red colors always appear to have depth on a solid color hence the red and blue 3D glasses. It's an optical illusion but neat if you like that sort of stuff.

Ever thought that this effect won't come out in a screenshot because it's an effect of the AMOLED screen or the specifical display?
Ever thought that this is an optical illusion and not an actual 3D-effect and you might just not see it because it is, in fact, an illusion?
Well, after 5 months of looking out for the best values, I've experimented and all and found out these to be the best. Even at lowest brightness, the screen is crisp and clear just like it's supposed to be.
People who have the Purple Screen issue, I highly recommend you use these values.
Requirements -
1. Franco Kernel Updater (TKT wouldn't give that much brightness/crispyness to the screen)
2. ICS Gradient Fix (Check Signature)
3. Franco Kernel
First up, flash Franco's latest kernel.
Secondly, make sure you don't have any 2 or more applications which have Color Control options (Like, Franco Kernel Updater and TKT - Remove TKT and stay with Franco). If you do have 2 or more installed, please set all values to default on all applications including Franco's. (In TKT, click on menu and select reset preferences and reboot).
Third, fire up Franco Kernel Updater and get to the CC options and set these :
Color Multipliers -
Red - 280
Green - 292
Blue - 350
Gamma -
Red - 4
Green - 0
Blue - 9
Disable Contrast Adaptive Brightness - Yes (Tick)
Contrast Control : -24
OMAP Gamma - 1.2
These values work BEST with MoDaCo's JB Build. Tested on Jr1, Jr.1.1, Jr2.
Please note : This is simply a band aid, not a total fix. The purple screen and grain issue is probably a hardware issue. This settings are extremely crisp on my device. You need to get adapted to them.
Thanks to -
1. Franco for his amazing kernel and application.
2. Morfic for introducing contrast control into the kernel world and of course for his kindness. (You're the sweetest developer I've talked to).
Best of luck with these settings guys!
Please, don't forget to click "Thanks"!
It made everything look over-saturated for me.. plus, is it safe to jack up the settings like this?
It did improve the grainy screen on low brightness problem, though.
Well, i think the best values i've EVER Seen.
Oh dear, so f****ng awesome.

Try reducing every multiplier value by 40. 280 to 240, 292 to 252 and 300 to 260.
This can never be an all-in-one "fix" because of the way screen technology works. Everyone's screen will have different degrees of the problem itself (purple tint & grain), on top of that they will all have a slightly different color temperature, contrast level, saturation etc. By providing the values that worked for you, you're just going to have a thread where half the people think it looks great, half think it looks awful, and everyone thinks everyone else is crazy.
A better idea might be to describe the steps you took to arrive at your own numbers, things you looked for, how you tweaked them to get to the best values.
Look Excellent to me - Screen absolutely Pops, so vivid and the gradient issues are not visible.
Thanks so much!
Those high values are gonna kill your screen
OP settings work well for me (similar to my 200 215 280, -2 0 10, -23, CAB off), but OMAP always makes things worse IMO. With OMAP at 1.2 I instantly see banding again where with it off the gradients are smooth. OP settings with OMAP 1.0 are excellent however, reducing the magenta and yellowing I was seeing with my others. I am worried about the burn-in though..
What's this about burn in? Do these settings cause it?
I sort-of mispoke. Burn-in is possible, but high multipliers are more worried to wear out those pixels/degrade them faster.
Edit: I'm going for more of a "Trinity Blue" sort of solution now: 215 235 280, -2 0 15, -24, CAD off, OMAP unset. Still trying to find that balance that gets rid of the magenta/yellow at all points.
Okay guys try out 180,192 and 250 as the color multipliers. No burn issues then. I'm on it right now. Its great!
I'm using Trinity kernel, TKT, and Display Tester Pro for calibration. The gamma test shows that my particular settings should be red=2, green=3, blue=2. The color gamma settings are not relative to one another and are not "mixed together" for adjusting color. Each one is a separate adjustment for that color's correct level of brightness for midtones, relative to darkest and lightest levels. Together, the three settings add up to correct gray brightness levels, not to correct gray colorlessness.
If you look at a chart containing only black, 50% gray, and white, the color multipliers should be adjusted to remove any trace of color tint from the gray. The easiest way to do it is set the weakest color to 200 and reduce the other two colors until the gray has no color tint at all. The properly set color gamma settings, on the other hand, should make the 50% gray have the correct lightness level.
If you have yellow tint, there's not enough blue. Magenta tint means not enough green. Cyan tint, not enough red.
The color multipliers, unlike the gamma settings, are relative to one another. Once you have them set correctly relative to one another, moving them all up or all down together pnly changes the overall brightness of the display. The wrong overall brightness level will remove detail from either the black end or the white end. Too much brightness is also bad for the screen, not to mention battery drain.
So anyway I'll shut up now and I hope everyone gets their screens looking perfect.

Have you tried adjusting it for 18% gray? I can nail it pretty close with 180,150,190 and 8,0,8 but gamma is a complete ***** on this display...

It's been discussed few times already - going above 200 can lead to screen burn in. On SAMOLED screens blue color wear out first and peeps really shouldn't touch this setting. Better set lower red/green values. Screen will look a bit darker so don't cranck up contrast too much, -10 should be good enough.

You can see where your gamma should by by installing the free version of Display Tester from the Play Store. Go to Color, Gamma, and slide the gray screen to the left to see the red page. Find the vertical bar that most closely matches the red bacground. The number on that bar is where your gamma should be set for that color. Mine is spot on at 2.3. Then slide to green page and do the same. Then the blue page. My green gamma reading is 2.8, meaning it isn't quite as bright as the red or blue, so I have to turn it up a hair. My blue is good at 2.3. The adjustment sliders in TKT only give me whole-number choices, so I get as close as possible with 2, 3, 2. I'm just guessing there, since TKT doesn't have normal gamma increments. Anyway good luck taming your gamma.

is it normal that my LED colours seem to have multiple colours in them.. like example if i set the notification ligth to be orange ( with paranoid rom, but did the same on stock with lightflow) the light will be half light red and the other half will be yellow.. or green and blue if i want light blue.. it seems i have to mess around with the colours value (RGB) to get just one solid colour and not a mix of multiple colours..
this is hard to explain.. so if you know what i mean please let me know.. if not i can take a picture and upload them here!
Thanks
It's my understanding that although it IS an RGB LED, that doesn't necessarily mean that it will be able to recreate every color you could dream of. There's actually another thread here in the S3 section (Forget which part) where people are compiling a list of different Hex values of colors that turn out really well.

thing is is that im using ParanoidAndroid rom, and i dont see the option to add a hex value.. i can only pick a hue and slide the colour around ..
Well, in my experience with that, it seems to have a better color output for the LED if you don't have the saturation all the way up..... Say if you were shooting for a pure red color, have the slider down just a bit from as bright as it can get. Seemed like whenever i tried using that to set LED colors, if i had it all the way up, it had something else mixed in.... generally i think a bit more of a white color to it.

all it does is adjust the screen color/gamma. any difference in battery life would be a placebo effect. it might sound kind of pointless but i know that i and probably alot of other people would go insane if we lost the ability to adjust the screen like this. im a sucker for screen with lots of gamma reduction, the colors look so much more crisp and vivid; you can make it look damn good. decreasing the gamma will help make the colors crisper and less washed out, and the blacks blacker. you can also change the color balance -- some people notice a yellowish tint on the stock rom, adjusting the color values you can completely remove any tint and achieve a pretty true white.
edit: regarding screenshots, you wont see anything from a screenshot. screenshots show what the system is rendering, not what the screen is displaying. heres my settings, they may be a little too dark for you:
gamma adjustment - 0

blue - -3

Yeah some people's are slightly different, it dependant on the rom they are running. It's hard so say what to set yours at, some screens just don't look the same as others at the same settings. I would just get a few pictures you really like, put them on you sd card and use them as a reference to adjust them, just pick whatever looks best to you, that's what I did.
If you use Franco kernel updater app, trickster or tkt from play store you will have more options. Gives you ability to calibrate the screen to correct for poor color, mine is beautiful, that's why I can't leave this phone.

Settings will be different from display to display. Also from brightness settings can potentially have an effect on how things look too. Unfortunately there is no universal plug in these numbers and your display will look great. Also, a bit of subjectivity can come into play here as well. As mentioned using a picture of something you know and adjusting settings until it looks right is a great idea.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1790325 <-- that thread has a discussion about various settings, including a spreadsheet in the OP where there is a list of them. Which once again shows that people's settings are all over the place so you probably will have to do some tweaking to get them how you want.
