I am working on a night mode app for rooted Galaxy series phones, which turns the screen colors to red to preserve night vision and does so in a better way than ChainFire3D. There are also other color options: sepia is nice for web browsing, for instance, and for browsing at night reversing colors to have red on black or green on black should be nice.
I assume that the S3 has /system/etc/mdnie* screen control files, like my S2. I was wondering if a kind soul could email me (arpruss at gmail dot com) mdnie_tune_ui_dynamic_mode and mdnie_tune_dynamic_mode, assuming the phone has them, and also tell me if the phone has dynamic and standard tuning files in addition to the movie ones. You don't need a rooted device to pull the /system/etc/mdnie* files.
Oh, and if you've changed these files, what I'd like to see is the original ones.
Looking at the kernel sources, it looks like the S3 handles mdnie adjustments differently from my E4GT(2.3.6) and there /system/etc/mdnie*. But if someone volunteers to help test some ideas, I would be grateful.

Hi everyone.
I was wondering if a developper (AND USER AS WELL) could be interested into making a Custom firmware for android that is made and give support for Anaglyph stereoscopy? You know those Red and Cyan Glasses!
on a PC I use IZ3D to make my Videogame 3d with proper Cyan and Red Glasses and was thinking how much It would be cool to get that on a Samsung Galaxy S phone or Even an Android Tab.
I've downloaded a video of 3d gaming and played id on my phone to see what it look like....AWESOME!!!!
And the desktop could be Anaglyph as well. Imagine an Anaglyph Live wallpaper that look like an endless corridor and use the motion sensor so when you move the phone it change the angle of the background so real that you could almost put you fingers inside loll
and when you slide the notification panel it really look like a panel in front of your endless background.
When changing between windows, the animation could give a 3d slide
Anyway there is a lot of possibility. On this mod it could be cool to shut down the anaglyphic effect with an on/off button as well.
Hi guys. I tried looking for info on this but I'm not sure if it even exists. In any case what I'm trying to ask about is cm9's and cm10's color multiier. I a. In the navy and at night we can't be outside with white light. In order to use my phone outside I have to make the phone monochrome red. I used to accomplish this with chain fire 3d on my old epic 4g touch. After converting to jellybean I noticed chain fire doesn't work. So I've gone to cm10. The alpha builds at least. What I want to do is create a profile that when switched to will switch my screen to the new multiplier settings. To accomplishmy mono red I just turn all other colors to 0. Is there a way to save one of these presets? An app maybe? I just wanna be able to hit a profile and boom there it is. Anyone have any ideas?
I made a simple widget works exactly as you sad. It is in beta. I only tested with franco kernel but i assume it works with all kernels which have color multiplier. You can get it from google play Night Mode Widget Beta. Thanks.
Just got my new Nexus 7 2013, which will be used in my car a lot for music and nav. My car's interior lighting is red, so I was wondering if there's an app that can change everything onscreen to red. I used to use Chainfire 3D on my old tablets, which had a setting for this, but it's not compatible with JB. I know there are other apps that will add a red tint (Lux, Filter Your Screen, etc.), but they don't make it a true red like Chainfire. Hell, they even make the screen brighter by turning black into dark red. A current app that does what I want is Galactic Night, but it's only for Samsung Galaxy devices.
Any suggestions?

Try Night Filter. Its free on the Play Store and you can set whichever colour overlay you want. Not sure if that's exactly what you're after but it supports opacity of the overlay and colour, works for me at night! Here's the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.digipom.nightfilter&hl=en
Not posted for a little while but I was hoping someone could help me with suggestions of what the best app / method for converting a black and white image in to colour was. My google search results have just been desktop programme specific or about converting a colour image to black and white. I prefer to sketch in grey scale and my dad was asking a similar question for scanning and processing some of his old photos.
Thanks for any help!

Are you asking about photographs or comic art/illustrations?
For vintage style photos it's a labor of love.and hand tinting techniques. I only know photoshop and it's tools
You would usullay first get a similar looking color photograph and create a simplified color palette from it. and then start blending colors in. in accordance with the black levels in the b/w.
A Quick trick I would use is to block out regions of similar color and then use a gradient map over that block/mask to put in the gradient shades corresponding to different levels of blacks. After that it is matter of putting in subtle colors on and on.
There are a lot of other techniques, like switching color modes and using channels etc and what not for this and they all vary based on the subject/content basically what all you can get away with.
Now if you are specifically asking for an app for android then I wont know any best app as of now as all apps have some features better than the other and then so.
But my main basic requirements would be masks, layers, blending modes (multiply / color/ and overlay) at the minimum and then some fine blending tools. like a soft/fine scattered smudge brush and custom gradients.
for sketch/line art.
look comic art coloring books or videos on youtube as mostly all follow same basic methods at start and later diversify into what technique suit the artists the most.
Sketch in top layer with multiply blend mode (or which suits your content best and adjust opacity).
In the underlying layers,block in solids, then details followed by highlights and shadows (dodging/burning).
There are other techniques like vector illustrations etc but that is a whole different subject/study in itself.
I doubt you are going to find any program that is going to do this for you on it's own, but there may be programs that provide you with tool get you going.
If you don't hae photoshop,other good candidates on PC would be GNU Gimp and Paint.net especially with their plugins as we well as layer support you should be able to get somewhat decent results. However i would strongly advise using a tablet. If you don't have one on pc, you should be able to find some apps that allow you to use the note 8 as a digitizer/tablet for pc as well.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I was asking for both photos (for my father) and drawings (for myself), but you have pretty much confirmed my fears that the only way to proceed with the work flow I had originally intended is to use a PC and that there was no such option on a tablet.
I have settled on CloverPaint for my artwork as it seems to have the most comprehensive set of features and functionality. I've been reading ImagineFX magazine to try and get some tips on working in the digital medium and the method that seemed to suit me the most was to first draw the entire picture in grayscale and then add a colour layer for each section of the photo in order to complete the image. That way, if i wanted to tweak the colours it would be a simple task rather than having to rework that entire part of the image. I cant seem to find the equivelant method in android only.

This is the type of thing im talking about. May be the option is available and I just havent figured out the correct layer setting?..
If cloverpaint has color blend mode or similar, then it should be relatively easy to follow the workflow in the article.
Color blend mode (of a layer) only affects the Hues and Saturation of the colors in the underlying layer (with the color in itself) totally ignoring any luminousity.
If that is not available then you might have to follow some older workflow that uses screen/ multiply and overlay blend modes and different layer structures.
I'd say play around with the just the blending modes for a day or two that cloverpaint provides to get a hang and feel for them. try with same color on top and bottom layers and then different colors, different opacity, and luminosity etc.
Hi forums,
TL;DR: Could turning up the color-settings in TricksterMOD cause burn-ins?
I recently got my GNex and after fixing the SIM-tray making the phone usable again I of course unlocked the bootloader and flashed ROMs and Kernels (atm CM10.2 latest nightly + Franco kernel) and I use TricksterMOD to make some specific settings (like turning FSync off) and I also found Settings for screen colors, now what I did is just turn those sliders up all the way and set all other options (like Contrast and Gamma) to 0 (as seen on the attatchment), now I have an extremely vibrant and colorful display without this annoying blue-tone everywhere, even whites look more natural now but I've seen some AMOLED-Phones (specifically 2 GS2s from friends) that have things like the Status Bar or the keyboard burned in into the Display and now I worry that that could maybe happen to my Phone as well because of the settings.
I'd like to know your experience and if you think that that's possible, if so I'll turn them down even though I really really love this display now, it's literally the best display I've ever owned (and I have two IPS Monitors in front of me right now)
I'm using a completely black theme over most of the Phone (black status bar of course, black keyboard, black menu-elements, dark backgrounds, saves Battery and looks insanely awesome on this display) that should prevent burn in's from for example the keyboard since black pixels are not lit, but I want to know if it's more likely if the display is brighter due to the settings.
Sry for this long post but you've got the short version at the top if you don't want to read everything
Thanks for your time and help in advance!
Greetings from Germany.
