[Q] Wrong color - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hi, I'm new to the Samsung Galaxy SII T989. I have a question regarding the screen color. When I turn the phone on in Download Mode, the colors are expressed fine and correctly (White is white, green is green, etc...) but when I install any rom through ODIN or CWM, the color are off. I would see this yellowish tainted color. Any one have an idea about how to solve this problem?

Note 2 led colors?

Hey guys I'm coming from a galaxy nexus and i was glad to see we have a notification light but what colors does it allow. For my girlfriend on my galaxy nexus I set the color to magenta but on my note 2 it is more of a blue than anything. So what colors does this notification light display?

there are some apps out their to customize your led color and assign what color with a particular app. Light flow comes to mind.
There are about 6 or so colors the led is capable of. White is one of them besides green, red, purple, blue, yellow, I think orange...
Light manager app lets you change it to any color u want.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I have to ask,
Can your note 2 display orange, yellow or purple?
Mine refuses to display those, orange displays green with an orange spot , yellow only shows green, purple is anything but purple.
I have the international version, the hardware should be the same if i'm not mistaken

In the app you have to tap the thing in advanced settings that says "set hex colours for grey Samsung Galaxy Note II" It only does have the 3 led's but that allows them to be used at different intensity to simulate the other colours

I'm sorry, I searched around but couldn't find advanced settings in light flow.
Also, I tried different levels of blue and green with red at max, since red is weaker by a bit, and was unable to get white no matter what, have you been able to?
Apologies for the trouble.

Use this. Been using it since I got my phone. Makes my notification light whatever Color I want. Even custom colors. Nothing tricky about it. Very easy to use! Also u can set individual colors for every messaging app. Certain color for sms. Different Color for gmail. Different for Kik. Very nice app

Oh sorry I'm using light manager not light flow. That was kind of my fault. Its got a specific setting just for the note 2 because its format is a little different
is it possible to make it so the green light does not stay on when the phone is plugged in and fully charged?

Color Temperature ( White )

Anyone noticed that the White on this phone is not as white? The white is a little bit yellow..
* Pure White can be achieved by tiliting the phone up or down a litt.e
Same case as Galaxy Nexus.. Anyone know how to adjust the color temperature to make it white?

Depends on the brightness level and the color setting. If you have it set to movie mode it looks really yellow. Im happy with how I have it set up but I know when auto brightness is turned on and it gets darker the whites aren't as white

Go into display settings and turn off the screen power adjustment.. it makea whites not as white to save power
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
Yep. Both of them are off. And set to dynamic for more saturation of color.. That gave me the whitest white..
However, it still does not get white like an LCD/LED does.. I know for the Galaxy Nexus, there was a feature to change the color(RGB0-214) . I guess we'll know in the future for this phone.
This requires kernel level settings, init.d support (busybox), and root.

[Q] Color of the dialer in the new Lollipop Update

I know this may be not that important, but is there a way to change colors for that dialer? I hate the new color and was wondering if there was a way to change it.
Not that I have found, and Samsung is really annoying me with making my dialer, settings, and everything else white. My note 2 had everything black and it was awesome. My note 3 I had a choice with the settings until they did an update and it was stuck on white. I rooted the note 3 and had everything black and it was awesome. Now I have the note 4 and there is no root, all white = ugly and blinding at night unless you turn the brightness down to where you almost can't read it.
They're going to need to find a way to root the phones then somebody will have to either theme it or come up with a theming engine in a custom rom. I don't like it either. I'm still on KK and the system backgrounds are white on it too.

I totally agree! I love the black and white look (black background with white fonts). I wouldn't mind not having root if I could move stuff to SD card and change themes.

Best color calibration for cm12.1/cm11

Hi i was haveing problem with screen, i looked at other amoleds and spoted that our is sooo redish so i tryed to change it to become like my s3. i succesed with it. White is white green is greed and blue is blue. So far best colors.
All you need is to disable Live display, set gama: 4 red 0 green 9 blue then dowload kernel adiutor from playstore.
In it you need to change display color to 280 red 292 green 350 blue. Reboot phone and thats it!
[Root is reqvested to change colors] IM NOT RESPOSIBOLE FOR ANY HARDWERE DAMAGE!!
Have a good day :highfive::good::good:
Definitly looks like a improvement to me, even though on my phone it doensn't matter much. Thanks, man!

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.
