{Request} Disable SRGB setting

Hello,
Just a request, because I'm sure Google will disable it sooner or later anyway. Is there any developer out there or anyone for that matter that would know a way to enable access to the SRGB screen setting or have an ADB command to enter that would disable it? Please let me know if it's possible and as always thank you in advance

settings>magnifying glass in top left corner>type sRGB in the field>change the setting to whatever you want.
works like this for stock software (old pixel xl and my current essential phone).

The only option for color changing is this:

I'm pretty sure sRGB is a secure setting, so it can't be changed via adb or any non-root method.

On the Pixel 2 XL? Sure isn't the case on my stock Pixel XL (I stopped rooting once I got the Nexus 6P). The mode to toggle sRGB is right there in the developer settings under "Running Services" on the XL but completely missing in the 2 XL.

Considering how much people are whining about it, they'll obviously release some sort of update to allow people to disable it.

what the hell is wrong with you people
nothing is wrong with the display
i went in a verizon store today and checked out the XL and I dont see why theres such a fake outrage

It's not that something is really "wrong" with the display. It's that Google for whatever unknown reason decided to tune a high end POLED display to sRGB mode which tends to wash out colors.
Coming from a Note 8, the display is noticeably less sharp. Colors are off from a more saturated Samsung panel. Yellows look dark and angled viewing has blue tints.
It's not bad, it's just different, and a lot of people are noticing it. Many from Android media outlets. Apparently Google has acknowledged the display issues and is going to modify it.

Has anyone with the phone tried looking in some of the activities options which typically have many setting hidden but available to launch from? That's the first place I'm going to check when I have the phone. Either use a launcher with activity ability or install an app:

Installed the app and ran it, it only shows a list for itself and Nova. Long press on itself create shortcut doesn't do anything. Settings, home app doesn't show activity launcher. I'm going to take a wild guess and say it's not compatible with Oreo as the last update was 2015.

Yeah you have to switch to all activities from the top pulldown
On 2nd thought, mine crashed on my N6p on Oreo so it may not be compatible. Try installing Nova Launcher. It comes with activity launcher. I believe you just press and hold somewhere on screen and choose activities.

Didn't realize that, can't see the writing. Unfortunately that insta crashes the app. I took screenshots but apparently no media sharing allowed here according to tappatalk.

Can you see sRGB in that app somewhere? I cant. I see developer options but none of the things inside it. Don't know enough to set up the advanced one.

Tap activity at the top and scroll to settings. Open it up and start searching. You can launch the activity by hitting the play button. Some of them may crash but some lead to hidden menus that are not otherwise accessible through normal settings. Like Bandmode (be carefull) or phone info.

screen resolution adjustment

Is there any way to port over options to adjust the screen resolution I'm surprised this tablet does not have it already the tab S2 had the options in the settings to lower the resolution to save power and higher it when watching videos. I was wondering if there was any way to put this over and install it on the Tab S3 or if it has been done already. Thanks

He's referring to the minimum screen width in developer options. It starts around 768 and I keep mine at 786. See image.

I keep mine at 1097. It makes things smaller and hence can fit more stuff in the same screen

Thanks, I also did this. Seems a great fit and seems to run faster too (though turning off the CPU limit probably helped)

How do you turn off the CPU limit ?

It's in settings - device maintenence
Press on the battery icon at the bottom
Choose Off

I'd also recommend adding Greenify and L Speed to the unmonitored apps section there too if you use em which you should

Anyone found a way to change the screen resolution for Games?
They look weird and compacted, almost as a 4:3 format, instead of 16:9
The stock 2048 x 1536 puts it in a really weird aspect ratio.
EDIT
NVM found this, it does the job
https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-game-tuner-update-removes-a-ton-of-useful-features/
Nope, while that sort of do the trick, but it doesn't produce a crisp image.

This works for me https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...msung-game-tuner-3-4-04-android-apk-download/[/url]
Set the Res to 100 percent in this apps settings

It's the only one unless you are trying to tune pubg mobile in which case there is a specific app for that ?

scrolling screen shot?

I have had my pixel 3xl for a week now,
I know the pixel 2's didn't have scroll screen shot, has the pixel 3 got it?

Ive never heard of a scrolling screen shot. What phones have you seen this on?

Interesting. Im curious, how does that work? What would be scrolling? How would you send it and how would someone viewing it see it? I feel dumb but Ive never heard of this and Im super intrigued.

By "scrolling", is that just like a long screenshot? I would love that sort of native functionality, I've always had to use an app for it...I'm currently on one from the play store called Screen Master...

Yeah, I think that's what the OP is referring to.
Samsung's (at least the Note series, not positive on others) had it built in, where if you take a screenshot there would be a button that says like "scroll down" or something, and it would scroll a page length down, and you could keep doing it. The result being a long image.
Screen Master seems like a nice app for it.
Wish it was just built into the screenshot capture though

I came from a Note and ya I miss scrolling screenshot. I use LongShot now https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.leavjenn.longshot
It works well. I just wish it was directly integrated into the screenshot function.

There is no point enabling it, as the AOD is basically only for AMOLED and not IPS displays.

Stop it, I don't f... care, my question is clear
It's not only for AMOLED displays, it's just a piece of software not bound to the hardware

The option is not available on phones with IPS screens... Simply cause there's no point.

No, there's no always on option on Miui 11 with LCD screens as that would make no sense.

Samsung galaxy note 10 plus Refresh rate 90 120hz

Hi guys,
Simply question, IT is possible to change refresh rate or software overclock display to more Hz?
Or any APPS on this?
Unlock 90hz or 120hz anything else?
Thanks for answer
:good:

No, if it was the relevant option(s) would be visible and available to us on the phone.
Currently people are using activity launchers to run a menu option for the S20 that is hidden on the Note 10+. While it can be toggled it appears to not work at all on the Note 10+ due to hardware limitations.

Hi,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10/how-to/toys-oneui-2-1-update-t4077297

Tried the activity launcher and I assure 100% note 10+ locked to 60hz...

I installed the app and applied the setting as well. Not so much as a placebo effect. Checked at testufo and can confirm only 60hz. Is there anything useful anyone has discovered in this app?

The Problem will be the drivers for the display
To achieve more than 60hz you would have to create a custom resolution and refresh rate
Effectively overclocking the display

Anyone ever checked what resolution and refresh rate the Note 10+ can actually use, by running the shell command “dumpsys display,” in adb?

According to this article the setting option was a mistake.
https://piunikaweb.com/2020/04/07/s...-120hz-refresh-rate-but-dont-get-too-excited/

by the fact the display was launched as purely 60hz it is probably a hardware limitation.
LCD/LED/other panels are manufactured to work at a maximum speed, it will be hardware controlled through the display chips, so unless you can swap out the controller chip and the panel is actually capable of altering the individual points at that speed you are likely never getting past 60hz. so unless the hardware was designed for 120hz and Samsung chose to just massively underclock the screen (but why would they do that when it would have been a good brag?) there is likely no way past 60hz as since the change from CRT the only way to overclock a screen is if the screen is shipped underclocked by the manufacturer.
so the reason it doesn't show up in the standard settings without extra steps should tell you this option being there is a mistake of them not removing the setting deep enough in the software.
