Using KCAL and Colour Control to get accurate display - Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I flashed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/5-x-kcal-module-flashable-t3159869
I have been playing for hours trying different settings to get better white balance and more accurate colours on my Z5 Premium. I am disappointed with the standard calibration, not accurate at all.
While I can get a better white balance, I have problems getting the colours right. I am comparing with a calibrated Dell display and other smartphones.
For an example on the Z5 Premium the colour red is more like deep red, with a purple tint, where it should be clear red. The same goes for blue.
Is there anyone who has been playing with the KCAL mod and Colour Control app and have any recommendations or ideas how to configure?
Thanks!

Colour of the notification light

I'm on stock unrooted. When I have a notification and the light is pulsing, it is mainly white, but has a pink-ish colour in the top right and a green-ish colour in the bottom left of the circular light. Is this normal? What do you guys have? Do I have a faulty unit?
Yes it is normal. Already tested by other users. If you want to customize colours use the Light Flow application.

It is normal because to achieve white light, the phone has to switch on all the LEDs at once. This can lead to colour bleeding at the edges.

[Q] Galaxy Nexus LED Colors

Can anyone here let me know what the colors are for the apps? I just noticed Facebook notifications pulse blue. I thought it was white for the whole thing but I guess I was wrong.
Anyone have confirmation on what apps give off what color?
You can also set whatever color you want by installing light flow
Oh yeah I knew about that, I'm just curious what the default colors are.
Blue green purple orange red and white.

There are 3 main colors, reg, green, blue. Google voice blinks green. Handcent texts blink blue. Gmail white.
Beyond that you have to use lightflow too get finer tuning to make your own colors. You can make any color combo you want like the hex color codes. Cyan, purple, different shades of green, red, pink, on and on. Its basically infinite color combinations.
Or have a rom that supports led notifications, like cm9 (in profiles).

I believe that the color can be customized by the app developer as well.

[Q] Change color of notification light?

Hey guys i have used previous HTC phones like the desire......in those phones we are able to change the color of the notification led to as many as 8 colors i think...so do you think the led on the one x is capable of many colors or just green and red?
no chance for any other colors. There are just these two LED placed in the HOX, green and red.
What's app has a setting to change notification light color but it doesn't work.
Annoying

But i think that its the same led used in all the phones.....they have the RGB and it can produce many colors...i think its not enabled by HTC....my old desire had the option to choose the color in each app...

Available LED colors for notifications

Available LED colors for notifications
I haven't found a comprehensive list of the notification colors available for the Droid Razr M, so I set about playing with it using the LED menu under ROM Control in PAC.
From what I can tell, the available colors correspond to the RGB and CMYK values, along with white.
Code:
Red: #ffff0000
Green: #ff00ff00
Blue: #ff0000ff
Cyan: #ff00ffff
Magenta: #ffff00ff
Yellow: #ffffff00
Black [K]: #ff000000 (Deactivates LED)
White: #ffffffff
Getting close to any one of these colors defaults to the closest matching value it seems, so I assume these are the "actual" color codes producable. Let me know if there's any more I couldn't find!
I don't know much about the led colors we can use. but if you want a faster automated way to know. I remember an app light flow, would cycle through all of them for you

here's something else that St. Noigel posted in the PACMan thread:
http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colors.asp
On my Razr M, regardless of the values entered, only a certain number of actual combinations actually change the color of the LED. I'm not sure if it's defined by the kernel, or if it's hardware-related, but the actual distinct light combinations seem to be those 8 colors and black (no light).
Trying any other hex code just outputs one of the colors already listed, with no hue or brightness change or anything. It just goes to one of those variations, and I'm assuming chooses the closest one. The Light Flow app actually shows less color combinations when cycling through than inputting them by hand, so I'm not sure how large its table of values is.
Point is, using other hex codes other than the ones listed just produces the closest match to a static pre-set CMYK, RGB, white, or black color. I don't believe we'll find another unique color for the Razr M outside of these. Thanks!
a little necropost, but signed up because i'm curious about this.
Running CM10 on my RazrM, so i can adjust the notification light colors and the battery light colors.
I noticed that the notification light defaults to the nearest value, like everybody observes in this thread.
However, adjusting the colors in the battery light setting allows me to use any color I want. For example, using 440000 (dark red) in the battery light setting produces dark red, but using that in the notification setting just produces fully saturated red.
Why are the two treated differently? Obviously it's not a hardware limitation.

Bright colours of HTC 10

The screen of HTC 10 is very bright. I need true black colour, not almost grey. I need purple colour and not pale-blue. And so on. Is there any hidden settings of screen profiles that fix this issue?
only way is set the screen to sRGB and lower brightness, and actually it's not bad for color accuracy (sharp panel is another story) when compare to other, but I don't think you can get true black for any LCD panel.
p.s. tested with i1basic
