[Q] CM colors different from stock JB? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

By default, does CyanogenMod do something to modify how your OS displays colors on the phone?
I have minor color tint issues on my Galaxy Nexus using stock, but when I use CM, they seem amplified 5 fold
Anyone else with a Galaxy Nexus experience this?

Maybe they tweak the color gamma and multiplier. You can download apps like trickster mod to edit them if you don't like it
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Franco Kernel

not sure if this helps, but when I flash new ROMS the settings are usually on the highest brightness. Maybe try to adjust them back to automatic to see if that helps out.

Do apps like that have a "stock" setting??

CM (and most ROMs in general) allow you to adjust the gamma and multipliers without 3rd party app....these are in the 'Advanced' settings
There are also predefined gamma/multiplier settings you can try....these are in the 'Color Hack Presets' under the 'Advanced' settings
Try starting there before using an app you may not need.

That's just how the Galaxy Nexus is. Raise the brightness up a little bit and it's fixed.

Works really well so far.
-Roaming indicator, as mentioned.
-Any settings made under the "display" settings menu don't persist after reboot (notification light, custom display levels, etc.)
-Runs really well with Lean Kernel
Rooting the phone now...will be flashing this momentarily!
Using apex launcher and selecting Widgets from home screen the text doesn't show.

That's a Apex issue now. The picker was changed to Holo theme like it's supposed to be.

For some reason, mms send has proven more difficult than it should be. The problem appears to span across all aosp variants at this time. It is being heavily researched as a type. Wtf is mms still in existence for anyway?! Somebody please bury mms 6 ft under. Ugh.

Gamma settings Jelly Bean

HI all,
With cm9 i always used The presetted color settings from cm9. I really like those settings, so which file do i need to edit to accomplish that ?

You have to flash a kernel that supports it and use an app like Franco or Trinity Toolbox to adjust them.

Changing the GNex's notification light frequency

I'm not sure if this is a ROM feature or can be implemented seperatelly but the only thing that bothers me on the GNex is that the notification light is blinking in a very slow rate. So let's say that I have the green colour set of SMSs, if I take a look on my phone the odds I see the light are 50%. To make sure if there's an update I have to look at it for like 10 seconds which is pretty annoying. I want the light always on as it was with my HTC Desire. Is there an app for that? Is this a ROM request?
Thanks in advance.
The BAMF Paradigm ROM lets you control the LED notification - both the frequency of the blinks and also allows you to choose a different color for different types of notifications.
Alternatively, if you're on a different ROM, check out the Light Flow app.

White looks yellowish

Hey guys, I don't know if its me but my screen is weird. My whites are really off in that they look yellowish.
I'm trying to tinker around in color control on franko kernel updater with the blue, red, and green but it hasn't changed the whites. I having touched the gamma things though..
Anyone know how to solve this?

go into gamma and increase blue
You need to adjust the multipliers.
Flash the trinity kernel & admire its beauty.

Nope, the blue gamma doesn't change it. Everything except the whites became a bit more "white" but the white pixels are not as white as before.

+1 for Trinity
Colors look amazing. I was wary at first but from the first boot after flashing the kernel, I fell in love. For me, I have found a significant increase in battery life compared to the stock kernel as well.

Mbh had it, adjust multipliers.
If you remove red+green or increase blue it'll become more white.
Adjust gamma to remove tint in the shadows after that.

I'm tinkering in every what way possible. Now I'm thinking its hardware problem. But I'll keep trying.
BTW, I am running Franco 240 kernel. I was on trinity, and it was better, but Franco increases my performance and battery life significantly.

I have the same yellowish screen, flash Trinity like everyone said and boom, white is white.
I'm using the trinity kernel with the liquid smooth ROM and my screen looks just as good as my coworker's SIII does. It is truly amazing how much better it looks...
Anybody know what the color control setting difference is between the two kernels?

Should only be in the defaults, unless....
Check if Franco includes omap gamma (preset tables) over my Contrast.
No it does not good sir..

Yea they support both omap gamma as well as your contrast settings
I am running liquidsmooth beta1 with Franco 240, the smoothness and battery life is so much better and its not a feeling. I experienced both kernels long enough to know the difference.
So I just need to know how to fix this colour shenanigans. There is just too many possibilities with the options but I haven't stopped trying.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Franco and Trinity, in my experience, both have good color settings out of the box. Franco's colors look a bit more natural to me, as Trinity's are a little "blue" to my eyes. There are a few other threads with users suggesting various color settings. Get Franco (which you already have, aparently) or Trinity and try out some of the combinations suggested. Some are quite good.
Here's one thread on the subject: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1521195
Best of luck
Thanks buddy. I'll try this out and report back.

[Q] How to fix yellow tint ?

My Note II's screen has a yellow tint. Whites are not pure white, but kind of yellowish-orange. :crying:
The thing is though if I tilt my device either way, I can see pure white.
The screen colors are way better on my old Galaxy S2 w/ SAmoled+, and I can further tweak the colors by using a custom kernel with screen tuning support.
Is there anything similar for the Note II ?
Not yet, but you Could try "Filter your screen" App from play store.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Thanks, but none of these apps are good because they simply add a filter on top and also affect blacks.
Guess I'll just wait for custom kernel color tuning support

Is there still no kernel and/or app that can change color profile of the Note II?
The kernel from this thread can do it, here's a link to my post explaining how:
