Washed out colors - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there anyway to improve the "washed" out look of the compact z1 onscreen colors?
Does this have to come from a ROM level feature?

Color calibration and gamma calibration are kernel related features.Without a kernel that supports this feature you can`t do much!I`m also waiting for a custom kernel that supports color calibration.

[KERNEL] [POLL] SpeedMod Color Tests

Hi guys,
In the next version of SpeedMod, I'll be making some changes to the color of the UI. In the JPX source code drivers, there are some new configuration settings which are interesting.
This kernel is based of K12F and should be stable. It is labelled K12G-TEST.
In this thread I will upload 3 different color settings:
Neutral
Warm (more yellow: use this if your screen is too blue)
Cold (more blue: use this if your screen is too yellow)
No color management
The purpose of this thread is to gather feedback from you about which color setting you prefer.
I realize that there are at least 2 types of screens with different colors - one which is more blue, one which is more yellow.
The file with "-warm" is the warm color version.
The file with "-cold" is the cold color version.
The file without "-warm" or "-cold" is the neutral color version.
The file without "-noc" is the version with no color management.
Reserved for future use.
On my friends SGS his whites are more like faint yellowish, on my phone its perfectly white.
So yeah there are panels that are probably poorly calibrated.
Thank you hardcore, i've never had problem with both version (normal and color) of any version of yours. So, normal is better i think
Have you thought about changing text color in CWM from green to blue or green like Amon-Ra recovery?

Haha... no I don't plan on changing it, and theoretically green is the best because Pentile-matrix AMOLED displays (like the one in the SGS) have the full resolution for green pixels, and less resolution for red and blue pixels.

Understood
Important is that it works always
I would try cold version, is it possible to have it at 256Hz?
Thank you hardcore
I also would be really appreciate if you could change the CWM color.
Maybe it`s not the best resolution on Pentile-Matrix-Displays but something special at all
I compared my SGS white level to my PC monitor (Eizo FlexScan S2431W), and I saw that it was a bit cold (blue).
Tried your warm version to correct it, but it seems too much for me.
To specify:
On low and medium screen brightness the screen is now too warm.
On full brightness, it seems OK.
Which makes me think that this matter is more complex than just adjusting one slider or setting or whatever, since the color temperature seems to change a lot with brightness.
On second thought I am not sure if my observations are 100% correct... maybe I'm just too used to a cold temperature...

Thanks for your feedback. So u find the warm too warm, versus your monitor.
Although it's a good basis for comparison, color balance is very tricky because it depends on the ambient light - if you are out in the sun, your display will seem more yellow (because sunlight is very blue). If you are indoors using warm lighting, your display will seem more blue.
The MDNIE software allows a certain level of control - at this point I can control the red/blue color balance which affects all brightness levels. This is similar to Samsung's own presets.
At this point I don't think I want to venture into trying to correct colors at different brightness levels - the source code also doesn't seem to offer that.
Mine is redish, installed your "blue" and it is just darker red...
Tonite I will install the new "no process" version, at least it uses less battery...
@hardcore,
Mention [POLL] on the Title.
Ooops, there is no Odin version this time...
Thank you for your good work!
However i prefer the noc kernel, colors are more natural, but it's my own point of view.
neutral here too
Please note that neutral and no color management versions are not the same.
Noc version has actually colder colors, from what I can see.

I voted for NOC, are you going to do an Odin version ?
Thanks,
The 'warm' version is PERFECT for my first generation UK i9000. Many thanks, been waiting on a colour fix for ages now!
Tony
For me the standard works best. The cool is too cold, and the warm makes the screen yellow. I find this strange because I was using the cool versions up until now. Is the color correction dial turned up a bit too much?

Which kernel for stock rom

hello friends.
Which is the best kernel for stock rom?
slightly lower screen brightness of galaxy nexus.
kernel, and the color scheme, but how may I do this?
What settings should I use?
Which settings can I find the brightest and most beautiful color scheme?
Just pick some and start flashing.

do not understand what setting for the brightness of the screen?
Most kernels give you control of the screen color. Just use trickster mod in the play store to change it to whatever you want.
thanks jsgraphicart.

I tested three differents Kernels with different Frequencies. All of them have Color Settings.
If you dont wanna use an app like me, You can put the file extracted from the ziped file attached on /system/etc/init.d/

[Q] Screen color saturation, can be modified?

Hi,
I'm very happy with the resolution, brightness and quality of my LG G3's screen, but I have tried the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the Xperia Z2 before and I love the color saturation of their screens. I was wondering if there is any way to modify the color saturation of the screen with any mod or something. I would like to increase the color saturation of the G3 a little more.
Is it possible? Any mod, app or something?
Thank you.
with a mod yeah but not unless u are rooted

Thank you

[Q] Screen modes and Colour management in CM12

We have a fixed display colour on Tab S now, right? Which screen mode ( amoled cinema, photo and basic) matches the display colour we currently have on CM? Is there something to tinker with display colour? I really miss amoled cinema! Bold vivid colours! Can this be supported? Something similar and better of course
What do you guys think? Would you like something like that?

What I'd really like is colour management - ICC colour profiles for the cameras and display - so I can get dependable results.

Color Saturation on CM ROMS

Hello All,
I just installed CM 13 on my Galaxy Note 4 and although i love the ROM, i noticed the color saturation of the screen is a bit dull and washed out compared to Touchwiz ROMs. Is there any way to boost up the saturation of the screen?

Not sure if this answers your question, but the first thing that I did was turn off the LiveDisplay feature (which is on by default in the 9/19 build). That changes the color temperature of your display based on the time of day. It's under Settings>Display & Lights (also in the quick bar by default).

Try going into Settings -> Advanced Display, and set the mDNIe scenario to Video. I'm not well acquainted with this setting, but it looks to me like that increases the saturation.
