Is there any application or script available for customizing light sensor. So that we can set display light, key pad and button light intensity.
For example: for light 0 to 100 lux , display 40 percent. For light 101 to 200 lux display 60 percent. Etc etc

Cyanogenmod has these settings, you can set any values. Also Runnymede port to DZ has RCMix3D settings, there you can just chose 3 modes (default, lower, lowest).

None that I have found... CM7 has a great built in editor in cm settings. It can even reduce flicker, how sensitive it is (light sensor), and soft key lights. Takes some testing but it works great!
Don't forget the thanks button for the guy who helped you! I wouldn't mind one either

MIUI is a great ROM. Ofcourse it could be great if we can control display light settings
My app Lux does what you want (for the display, at least). The next update will let you manually enter lux/brightness value pairs. Currently it reads in lux values and lets you 'link' them to brightness values.

Thanks for the application.. I just bought it. it is working for me ofcourse atleast for brightness. It would be great after having buttons and key pad customization.
I am exploring the application and let you know in case of any suggestion.

Thank you.. Now I hope some battery life improvement as well. If Cyb3rGlitch is a developer of that application then he/she tried to fill a gap in android system, which I would have tried if I were a developer ;-). He did a good job anyways..

The problem with changing button brightness is that most phones don't honour the change. I'm going to hold off adding the feature until I get my hands on an official Google phone like the Nexus Prime.

Hmm ic
Well as far as desire z is concern i have tested customization feature of MIUI and cyanogenmod. Those worked well for button as well. The thing i noticed in these was that at the lower level of light i could not configure light intensity. i.e. at very dark level and at the normal room light level the output for display was same. But was trying to get almost 0 % for totaly dark room and atleast 20% display for nominal room light condition.
I am also searching for these feature in your application... I hope i will explore as much as possible.
That could be a limitation of the physical light sensor.
Well, after 5 months of looking out for the best values, I've experimented and all and found out these to be the best. Even at lowest brightness, the screen is crisp and clear just like it's supposed to be.
People who have the Purple Screen issue, I highly recommend you use these values.
Requirements -
1. Franco Kernel Updater (TKT wouldn't give that much brightness/crispyness to the screen)
2. ICS Gradient Fix (Check Signature)
3. Franco Kernel
First up, flash Franco's latest kernel.
Secondly, make sure you don't have any 2 or more applications which have Color Control options (Like, Franco Kernel Updater and TKT - Remove TKT and stay with Franco). If you do have 2 or more installed, please set all values to default on all applications including Franco's. (In TKT, click on menu and select reset preferences and reboot).
Third, fire up Franco Kernel Updater and get to the CC options and set these :
Color Multipliers -
Red - 280
Green - 292
Blue - 350
Gamma -
Red - 4
Green - 0
Blue - 9
Disable Contrast Adaptive Brightness - Yes (Tick)
Contrast Control : -24
OMAP Gamma - 1.2
These values work BEST with MoDaCo's JB Build. Tested on Jr1, Jr.1.1, Jr2.
Please note : This is simply a band aid, not a total fix. The purple screen and grain issue is probably a hardware issue. This settings are extremely crisp on my device. You need to get adapted to them.
Thanks to -
1. Franco for his amazing kernel and application.
2. Morfic for introducing contrast control into the kernel world and of course for his kindness. (You're the sweetest developer I've talked to).
Best of luck with these settings guys!
Please, don't forget to click "Thanks"!
It made everything look over-saturated for me.. plus, is it safe to jack up the settings like this?
It did improve the grainy screen on low brightness problem, though.
Well, i think the best values i've EVER Seen.
Oh dear, so f****ng awesome.

Thank you for this! By far the best optimization of colors I've ever seen. Maybe colors are a bit over-saturated but thats how Super AMOLED should produce.
Doesn't lacking the values up that high create burn in???

Try reducing every multiplier value by 40. 280 to 240, 292 to 252 and 300 to 260.
This can never be an all-in-one "fix" because of the way screen technology works. Everyone's screen will have different degrees of the problem itself (purple tint & grain), on top of that they will all have a slightly different color temperature, contrast level, saturation etc. By providing the values that worked for you, you're just going to have a thread where half the people think it looks great, half think it looks awful, and everyone thinks everyone else is crazy.
A better idea might be to describe the steps you took to arrive at your own numbers, things you looked for, how you tweaked them to get to the best values.
Look Excellent to me - Screen absolutely Pops, so vivid and the gradient issues are not visible.
Thanks so much!
Those high values are gonna kill your screen
OP settings work well for me (similar to my 200 215 280, -2 0 10, -23, CAB off), but OMAP always makes things worse IMO. With OMAP at 1.2 I instantly see banding again where with it off the gradients are smooth. OP settings with OMAP 1.0 are excellent however, reducing the magenta and yellowing I was seeing with my others. I am worried about the burn-in though..
What's this about burn in? Do these settings cause it?
I sort-of mispoke. Burn-in is possible, but high multipliers are more worried to wear out those pixels/degrade them faster.
Edit: I'm going for more of a "Trinity Blue" sort of solution now: 215 235 280, -2 0 15, -24, CAD off, OMAP unset. Still trying to find that balance that gets rid of the magenta/yellow at all points.
Okay guys try out 180,192 and 250 as the color multipliers. No burn issues then. I'm on it right now. Its great!
I'm using Trinity kernel, TKT, and Display Tester Pro for calibration. The gamma test shows that my particular settings should be red=2, green=3, blue=2. The color gamma settings are not relative to one another and are not "mixed together" for adjusting color. Each one is a separate adjustment for that color's correct level of brightness for midtones, relative to darkest and lightest levels. Together, the three settings add up to correct gray brightness levels, not to correct gray colorlessness.
If you look at a chart containing only black, 50% gray, and white, the color multipliers should be adjusted to remove any trace of color tint from the gray. The easiest way to do it is set the weakest color to 200 and reduce the other two colors until the gray has no color tint at all. The properly set color gamma settings, on the other hand, should make the 50% gray have the correct lightness level.
If you have yellow tint, there's not enough blue. Magenta tint means not enough green. Cyan tint, not enough red.
The color multipliers, unlike the gamma settings, are relative to one another. Once you have them set correctly relative to one another, moving them all up or all down together pnly changes the overall brightness of the display. The wrong overall brightness level will remove detail from either the black end or the white end. Too much brightness is also bad for the screen, not to mention battery drain.
So anyway I'll shut up now and I hope everyone gets their screens looking perfect.

for whatever reason trinity seems to be giving me better screen color, but im sure I could do the same with franco, anyways, my gamma settings are untouched, I found that modifying the color to these values makes the purple tint go away for me:
Red:135
Green:135
Blue:190
Trinity Contrast -15 to -25
Have you tried adjusting it for 18% gray? I can nail it pretty close with 180,150,190 and 8,0,8 but gamma is a complete ***** on this display...

It's been discussed few times already - going above 200 can lead to screen burn in. On SAMOLED screens blue color wear out first and peeps really shouldn't touch this setting. Better set lower red/green values. Screen will look a bit darker so don't cranck up contrast too much, -10 should be good enough.

You can see where your gamma should by by installing the free version of Display Tester from the Play Store. Go to Color, Gamma, and slide the gray screen to the left to see the red page. Find the vertical bar that most closely matches the red bacground. The number on that bar is where your gamma should be set for that color. Mine is spot on at 2.3. Then slide to green page and do the same. Then the blue page. My green gamma reading is 2.8, meaning it isn't quite as bright as the red or blue, so I have to turn it up a hair. My blue is good at 2.3. The adjustment sliders in TKT only give me whole-number choices, so I get as close as possible with 2, 3, 2. I'm just guessing there, since TKT doesn't have normal gamma increments. Anyway good luck taming your gamma.
galaxy nexus (gsm) / cm9 / trinity @ 1.4GHz
Just to share this with you guys..
With every display that I use, I try to have it calibrated and I was trilled that with the nexus I had so much control over the screen!! Never had a phone with so much control
You have here my results.
Just be aware that the "before" is with trinity kernel stock color scheme and I'm really grateful that his market tool and not to forget franco.kernel tool too,made possible for me to calibrate...
I used a 18% gray card to make sure white balance was spot on when converting the raw files into smaller jpg.
I did find that sometimes the changes did not apply so I did a double check by exaggerating the values when making the changes. Contrast was one of them..
On the graphs, the white dotted line is the reference
Only problem with this is that not all screens are the same so these settings will not work for everybody
My calibrated values
tint
red 200
green 169
blue 178
gamma
red 2
green 0
blue 0
disable dynamic contrast
contrast value 0
If you use franco.kernel tool
gamma 1.0
If you like image with more contrast, i would set it between -6 to -10
Very interesting and the before/after photos look good. Is there a problem with burn in?

Looks a little red for me. Your results look great though.
The improvement in the color of the dog photo is drastic. Trinity kernel does come with the blue really cranked up for some reason. Looking good now.

If you look at the calibrated rgb graph, red is a few points bellow reference. And again if you look at the color temperature line it is a little above 6500k. It is normal for first reaction about red when actually your missing blue because almost every screen you are used too has to much blue on it..yet again there's the tint problem on a bunch of nexus too.. if I get my hands on one of them I'll post here the results
Edit: for you "red guys" try to invert the red with blue values
Red 178
Blue 200
BUT keep gamma the same.

Outstanding. I was wondering if using my colorometer would work on the phone. Looks like I have a nice project for this weekend I need to revalidate my HT and PC too so might as well throw the phone in there too :O
Use hcfr and the color swatch app from the Market..
If you get stuck on gamma, don't sweat it too much.. I spent an hour trying to get it right, no luck with this screen. Colors are bang on though.
For those who don't know, 6500k is the reference color temperature. To most people it looks too red or even yellow, but it's what the whole publishing and photography world uses.

or you can install mxplayer,
get from here:
http://www.avsforum.com/t/948496/avs-hd-709-blu-ray-mp4-calibration
the mp4 version, extract it, goto to:
ColorHCFR Fields folder,
10% Grayscale folder
and use that files with mxplayer.
My gamma is 99% spot on. I go for 2.3x since with amoled screen the black mml is almost zero, you will not sacrifice shadow content and have a great contrast
I don't get it, how you use hcfr with android? I tried but I just can test my monitor (pc) =/ is there a guide or something?
the way I do right now is testing with http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/ and setting manually parameters on phone until it looks great.

your phone just plays the mp4 for calibrating your screen.

Yup, just like you use it to calibrate your HT screen. I run a long usb cable to my PC and use a DVD I burned with an ISO of test screens.
Thanks for the tips on test screens for the phone. saves me the time searching them out
I was searching on web I found that I need a meter, for that is the usb port right? (like spyder2 or EyeOne) mmm I was conecting my phone XD first time trying this tools. Now I understand what all this is about.
That looks that I will be doing this as usual =/ with my only 2 eyes :cyclops: meter XDD ohh wait that's just one of them xDD
well thanks for answer and that pic looks great. Right now I'm on CM10 and config my screen with their "advance" tool and comparing to the webpage I shared. That looks good too but I perceive a little bit reddish on dark colors. Thats so F******* better than blue one XD now looks like Super Amoled plus the contrast is pretty similar to SGS3.
Great post, thank you!

Here is a post by marhensa that might help you decide regd colors.
Be careful with too high colors as warned below.
marhensa said:
actually, every device suffers different screen defect.. in its own degree.
some suffers the yellow which too strong.. (yellowish)
some suffers the purplish color..
at its own degree.
so my opinion is,
it's better to find out the correct RGB combination value of your device (and also it's up to your personal taste)
mine is R=140, G=136, B=200.
but, like i said, it may looks weird when it's applied to yours..
one thing for sure is,
do not set it too high.
200 is enough.
(at least it's what cm rom says when we tried to tune the color combination)
more than 200 and then your color could be "drained" faster,
also your screen could "burned" much faster, because it's amoled..
cmiiw.

If turn my individual color gamma values too low in trickster mod I get a completely green screen. I've never had it happen any other time and my screen looks amazing. I figure setting the values that low equates to being an invalid value. I don't think anything is wrong.

As different type of panel is available and implemented on our beloved HTC10, shouldn't we share what type of panel too ? it's easily available using DevCheck app
I don't think applying settings from a panel to a different brand is really productive.
It's like calibrating a Sony TV and applying the resulted calibrating profile to a Samsung one, just because models share the same IPS panel ? Hmmmm no !
Btw this topic is an excellent idea !)
