Has any of you tried this app yet? maybe its useful to get rid of the yellow tint of the nexus 4? It was made by Francisco Franco
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nexus4displaycontrol
Judging by the reviews it should work. I know im getting it once i receive my N4.
It does work. I just don't know what each setting combinations look the best.

I don't notice yellowing yet. Guess if it appears, I know how to fix it now. Since it looks like software, why isn't this fixed?
Can someone post their settings for this app. Black's are too light and colors not as vibrant as when using cm calibration settings on the previous nexus'

This is a different type of screen. Blacks will not be as deep nor colors will it be as saturated as super amoled. As far as settings I use 255 190 255.

I use Fauxclock. It's got CPU/GPU clock and voltage control, in addition to color (and gamma, when ROMs/kernels begin to support it). You can also select an IO scheduler.
Basically it does all the same stuff as Voltage Control, SetCPU, Incredicontrol, and N4 Display Control, but it's in one app so it's overall cheaper.
I went to a Best Buy today and compared my N4's screen directly to a Optimus G. I didn't actually think my screen looked yellow at all until I compared it to the Optimus G. My N4's screen looked terribly yellow, was less bright, and had worse viewing angles than both of the Optimus G's my local Best Buy had on display.
Based off the first post in this thread for the GNex, I set my Nexus 4 to settings of:
182
190
200
I haven't tinkered too much but this seems to make things a bit better.
Has anyone else experienced the screen turning very yellow, almost brown, when viewing from the corners of the device? I am pretty unhappy with the viewing angles on the phone, especially after comparing it to the Optimus G, which is supposed to have the same display.

Do you think there is a limit set on the brightness maybe a dev could unlock that limit to make the phone more brighter

This app puts an overlay on top of your screen, so it doesn't really "change" your display colors. Also: the overlay should disappear when you try to install an app because of the security issues with having one in place when trying to install an app. I believe Lux and other similar apps do this too.

The screen settings definitely do not change when you attempt to install a different app.
Why do you say this is just an overlay? It is baked into the kernel.

I'm assuming that tint was there when you first bought the phone right? Which means I must really test the phones in the shop for this tint before I buy it.
I'm using 2 0 -5 as someone else posted when it was first released.

If it was a unauthorized to sell error, try it now, Franco was getting authorized by google and they wouldn't let anyone buy the app while they were doing that.

Changes the color brightness.
I get this weird problem when setting green very low: when the screen dims, it goes very green...
Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out what exactly this does...or at least what the use cases are of modifying these values.
I bought Franco's app to support him and for hotplug.....but haven't had the courage or motivation to mess with the screen settings.
What's the benefit of messing with these values?

+1 if I even set it minus one it'll go green at the lowest brightness.

This is simple: this mod controls the RGB gamma values. If you give it R it will give some extra Red into the scree, G for green and B for blue. You can range between -255 and 255, and with experimentation there's the possibility to get the best color profile. It's as simple as this.
But it is not possible to change brighter tones and whites without completely screwing up dark and mid tones. This was possible with voodoo color
-10,2-2
That was just a random choice, but I plan on testing new things.

I am also experiencing a green tint when the screen dims (if I lower the green value) I hope this can be fixed because the gamma on my screen is way too high and lowering all the values makes it look much better!

Same issue. Any time I mess with color values the screen goes green on lowest light settings.
I just picked up a Galaxy Nexus from WIND Mobile.
I have to say, the one thing I dread the most about AMOLED is the black/bright contrast. My eyes are very sensitive, and whenever I see something bright against an intensely dark background I get halos and it's very difficult to focus. For this reason I prefer LCD screens where the blacks are slightly grey. Nonetheless I decided to make the leap to the GNex because I like a lot of other things about it.
Do you think there is any sort of hack that could make the AMOLED look a bit more like an LCD? I realize this would affect battery life but basically what I'd like is to hack the colour space so that black becomes maybe 1-5% grey. I remember on CM7 there were hacks that could apply filters to make white into a more salmon-pinkish hue, a warmer white, etc. What I'm looking for is the reverse - leave the white alone but make the blacks greyer.
Anyone think this might be possible?
I don't know a specific solution, but here are some options:
If you're rooted, francois kernel and app can adjust the Gama levels, affecting all colors, but may help.
App Log graph can adjust your auto brightness levels.
Yes I am rooted.
Does increasing the gamma change the black levels? If so that could help.

It seems to depend on the app. Some apps have a gentle dark grey gradient in the background. But the stock taskbar, even at full brightness, is just as black as the same part of the screen is when the screen is off.
Not trying to be a comedian here, but have you gotten your eyes checked lately?
Seeing halos is linked to several severe eyediseases or wearing wrong/none correction.

Fair enough. Optometrist says my eyes are healthy but I have large pupils that don't contract very efficiently. As a result I get halo effects at high contrast even when using proper vision correction. It's not something that poses a health threat otherwise. But he did advise me strongly against laser eye surgery as there would be a high risk of halos getting worse.
So that's me in a nutshell.

it's been sad many times,i think there's also a 3ad somewhere of prism toggle by nvidia.Anyways,if you don't want to buy the app,you can use the tricksterMOD app and by disabling smart-dimmer in the proper tab,you do the same thing (echo "0" > /sys/devices/tegradc.0/smartdimmer/enable)
EDIT ehi,but it's warez!!!!!!!!!!!PULL IT OFF!

there is no problem with the display. its a power-saving feature which doesnt save any power from what i was able to find out.
problem is that it washes out your colors. its extremly visible when you watch video for 10-20min and then press HOME. it stays like this for good 30+sec. after that it goes back to normal. watching a lot of movies, its visible whether I have this turned ON/OFF.
Hi, I'm a newbie here, I just wondering is there a way to decrease the lowest brightness limit?
It's quite uncomfortable to use the phone in a completely dark room, even though I've set the lowest brightness.
Thank You
Play store, screen filter or Filter your screen.

Though keep in mind that screen filters degrade the quality of colors and makes you unable to install apps while they're active.

Try Elixir 2
I use Elixir to make a filter toggle, I have this toggle within a widget in my homescreen and other one in the statusbar widget (both with the same filter configuration) and it works perfect for me because Elixir allows to add many toggles in the same widget.
What display settings do you use.
Right now I'm using Standard with the change color tone to save battery option. But my second favorite would be natural with the color tone option off.
I was reading that if you use Movie mode and turn off auto tone, you get the most real looking pictures and the best contrast ratio. It beats the IPhone display in every way, contrast and real color. I tried it out and it made the display look like a LCD display. It was kinda neat. Using those settings with an iphone 5 side by side to my Note 2, the Note 2 looks way better. But still, I'm not really into the washed out look of LCD displays like the iphone 5's.
Anyway I'm just wondering what display settings you guys use on you're Note 2.
