I know, I know. I'm just looking for something to follow or trying to see how far under way this development is. My screen has the stupid blue hue and halo's due to the sharpness. Voodoo looks AMAZING! Hopefully someone cam point in the right direction.
Secondly am I harming my phone using Ryan's one click lagfix?
Edit: Looks like this was asked about 4 days ago and I missed it on the search first go around.
I don't know about harming, but I'm operating fine without lag fix for the time being until Voodoo is out for us.

Well I talked to supercurio who is working on the Voodoo LagFix and ColorFix and he said that he is actually in the process of making a fix that works across all Galaxy S devices which means we will have it, as far as when... who knows, but I'm just glad to know he is hard at work on it and we will have it eventually.
Good stuff, thanks.
After updating to 2.3.4, I notice that (to my eyes anyway) the colors seem to have been adjusted again. As we all know, Google messed with the color temperature in 2.3.3 to the chagrin of many. Complaints of yellow screens abounded. Mine had a slightly yellow tint to it as well, however it seems gone with 2.3.4.
I have always felt the best, most accurate colors available on the Nexus S were achieved with Voodoo. It appears that 2.3.4 matches it.
Are my eyes deceiving me, or are the colors really better? Anyone agree?
removed i was wrong
Something definitely seems different. Maybe a little brighter.
removed i was wrong
i couldn't tell any difference from 2.3.3. they look more natural, perhaps with a very (and i do mean very) slight blue tint. the whites are in-your-face as before, but i found it really difficult to read the browser before, now, it's not so bad.
The colours have changed, are better and look more vibrant. I'm happy again.
I have 2.3.4 and my yellowish tint is still here. Not a major concern to me but just figured I would share.
Yellow tint is still there. No difference in colour temperature.

Colors did not change.
However, I think the colors on 2.3.3 were fantastic, so.... you might not value my opinion much anyway

Display issues still not solved
I wonder when they will fix this issue.
I want the yellow tint to be removed. From what I read voodoo kernel fixes the issue. So I have 3 questions. Can somebody answer them?
1. Is it possible to root without wiping data?
2. Can I flash voodoo kernel on 2.3.4?
3. To test voodoo kernel do I need to root the phone?

I agree with this too. They're more natural this way. Yea, even though they've lost their saturation, but that's the whole point.
Until someone shows me a side by side comparison I am standing by my statement "the screen colour definitely changed" other than that, I don't know because I cannot really tell that well, I cannot say for the better or for the worst, please does anyone have two Nexus S devices to compare?

It's not true. You do not need to compare devices side by side. You only need to look at the source code which DID change between 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 but DID NOT CHANGE between 2.3.3 and 2.3.4.

People the colors are the EXACT SAME from 2.3.3, I don't know what some of you guys have been smoking LOL
If you guys really want to see AMAZING colors then do the following.

i take it back they are the same...was hard to tell because i did a fresh install of 2.3.4
But just installed kang CM7 nighty 2.3.4 update over my configuration with custom launcher, icons..ect that i have beeen using for a while and its quit noticeable

These colors gave me a headache... So Brilliant
I just tried the latest Samurai kernel with Voodoo Color and I am not a fan. I know a lot of people love it but personally I don't. At first boot your phone is dim. Then you have to download an app to set the colors. I tried several people's suggestions and didn't like any of them. So there is constant fiddling to get the colors the way I would like. Plus I had to turn my display up to about 35% when normally use about 15%. That has to eat up more battery, as well as constant adjusting. Then between the kernel and Voodoo app I am down 30 MB of RAM then what I normally have. I know for gaming it is probably the shizzle but for just a phone and browsing, not needed.
I flashed back to Samurai 2.08 and phone looks great still, lower screen brightness and actually is faster. Not sure if that is the kernel or lack of voodoo color.
Just had to get that out. I am sure this will open up a pros and cons discussion of voodoo color. I guess this would be a first edition of Kenny's Blog...LOL.

I dont really care much for it either. Whenever I start up a rom with a fresh voodoo kernel, the screen is piss yellow. I have tried a few different setting suggestions, but the screen is always way too blue. My friends drewl over this super AMOLED screen without doing anything to it.... i kind of agree with them.
Meh I tried it, thought itd be sweet, but not really lol. Using chainfire is better (Nightmode). Voodoo color is fun to mess with, for a few minutes XD
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I agree. Didn't see significant benefit to having it either! (On the Epic) I think it can make a huge difference on other devices though, from images I've seen. Not to knock the Voodoo team as their work is awesome.
I AM a fan of CM7's RenderFX (and widgets) that can make the screen go all green or red or low cal night mode (and more) - each with a single toggle - is pretty damn sweet!
My feeling on this is if you need a program to custom tweak the nominal display colors as if its a high end digital cinema: maybe you got the wrong phone.

I like it, it makes my blacks blacker, and my whites whiter... as for the resources it takes, that I do agree with, not that it takes a lot, but 2.0.8 was a little quicker for me. I keep my phone at about 5 - 10 percent brightness all day. I think it looks nice though, personally I feel it is better then stock. And if you are getting the yellow stuff on boot, or on dim, probably have the wrong settings.

@kennyglass123
I've been tempted to post the same thing, but I assumed I must be doing something wrong because everyone else seems to love Voodoo Color. I tried every combination of settings that have been posted (including those above), and though they may add some punchiness, the colors always seem to be very unbalanced/inaccurate (either too blue, or too yellow, or too something else I can't put my finger on). I also tried dozens of my own combinations, just can't get it set to anything that doesn't end up bugging me after a while. Oh well, I'm going to follow your lead and flash back to 2.08 for a while and see if I miss Voodoo.
I like my phone really dark, and that might not be for everyone
Some of this may be due to inevitable inconsistencies in these screens of ours from their factory days. But I find VC to be preferable even at defaults. Colors seem much truer and the nasty bluish tint over much of the screen is lessened.
I love it. Not sure what it's doing for everyone else that doesn't seem to be causing a problem here.
Here are my settings, took me a bit to get my screen to where it looks best for me:

Wow.. are you reading my mind? I flashed it and ran for a few days. Even a very non-technical co-worker saw my phone and asked if my screen was going out since the colors looked weird. She always commented on how beautiful the screen looked.
Had to crank up my screen brightness turning off auto-brightness as well which is killing my battery.
Soo..what's a stable Samurai to go to? I'm not interested in voodoo, oc/vu, just plain ole I want my daily driver to work.
2.08 is the recommended stable replacement according to Earthbound.

I wouldn't call it a problem, just like I said, not a fan. I tried several suggested settings and no matter what on some screen something always seemed off. That and having to crank the display brightness up is just not for me. I am real happy with the beauty of the stock colors. I see the potential for the voodoo color but it would take too much work and adjusting until I would be happy with it.

Did you try the other color profile?
im running Marcus's rom, which comes with sam 2.06.
I tried flashing the new sammy colonel last night, and aside from the fact that the colors looked piss yellow, it was really laggy.. to the point were i reflashed the rom to get 2.06 back.. didnt really see that coming
Also, Im not really sure what everyones talking about with the "blueish" tint of the stock colors. I held my epic up to my GFs Moto Atrix, expecting to marvel at how much better my samsung screen looked, only to find that (even on the stock, non-VC colors) it looked piss yellow compared to her moto.
So, aside from not wanting to have to eff with the color settings, the main kernal right now that has it, apparently, hates my phone anyways

Ok , I have two epic s, one is refurbished so I'm sure it has some mileage on it.
side by side the differences are noticable. Exactly the same except voodoo has brighter, blue tinted whites... A little better darks. I will post pics today.
the voodoo epic does look pretty damn nice, but in the end, its all about personal preference.

Only on 1st boot and look. Then I saw everyone using the 2nd profile and tried all the settings I can find. There was always something off, one was too blue, one was too warm, one was too brown, and all were too dark requiring at least doubling my normal brightness setting which uses up more battery.
I would spend time tweaking my TV a little but don't want to keep doing it for the phone. It is awesome that it is better than sliced bread for a lot of users but just not for me.

Its just a **** load of hyperbole.
Go into Voodoo Sound and scroll down to "Voodoo Color" and adjust the sliders.
NO ONE has the same screen/eye combo so what looks smexy for the kernel dev might look like a drunk heffer to you.
Personally my phone doesn't experience the green screen because I sat there and adjusted each value till I got the color reproduction I wanted (it may not be "true white" but I like my vibrantness ) so people, get off your asses and make your phone YOUR PHONE by putting in what you feel is the most comfty for your eyes.
If that's too much for you and you'd rather wait for the kernel devs to **** up their colors on their screen so that your BASE colors may or may not be correct, then maybe you shouldn't be worried about color and just stick with stock dull values.

The purpose of this thread is so people who have the green screen can open and see how their laziness contributes to their problem.

Also, my settings are very inaccurate, not true colors at all lol but just raise your gamma a tiny bit and everything will be good

I see your point but i guess were just trying to get them to be less lazy is all haha, and voodoo color will depend on each kernel like shadow vs samurai but there kind of identical so pretty much same settings should give same results.

If by green screen, you mean the flash of green everytime I unlock my phone, then its not "laziness" that contributes to the problem, its the ShadowKernel. I am not going to raise my gamma settings so that the screen is completely washed out just so the green flash doesn't happen when I unlock my phone. I have been using voodoo color for a LONG time spanning multiple versions of androids and at least a half a dozen different kernels, and this is a the ONLY one that has had this problem. I have always used the "punchy" setting, and this is the only time I have ever seen that green flash.
I had the same green screen problem then I turned off automatic brightness and it stopped.

Its definitely your laziness giving you the green screen.
People moaned and groaned to bbelos about how he should incorporate custom settings into shadow so that they can have nice ass colors out the box, and on bbelos phone it can handle low gamma obviously which is why the gamma is so low and he put his values in and everyone expected it to lookk the same on their phones and couldn't be bothered with no type of personalization on their part.
If you can't manage to slide your gamma bars a little to the right to correct this problem, then don't complain when the fix is posted. You've obviously never bothered to mess with the sliders because if you did, you would've seen how much raising the gamma 2 values "washes out the screen".
Don't try to throw your $.02 in if you can't even bother to try it, otherwise your opinion is one sided and void.

Remember, samurai was a (very stable) hackjob kernel, pulling bits and pieces from every other kernel he can find.
I don't **** with samurai, but I'm pretty sure he has custom values set too, which will affect more phones than benefitting them

You're a blithering idiot who didn't even read my post. Making my screen look like **** isn't a "fix". I have run the "punchy" gamma settings on multiple roms and multiple versions of Android, and NEVER had a green flash when waking the device . . . . . until CM9 and Voodoo Color.
I like how my phone looks with all of the gamma settings set to -45. Yet you are telling me the FIX is to set them to -43? Hint, it still happens when the gamma is set to -30 for all values, and the screen looks significantly ****tier.
I do love how you make assumptions though and freely insult others based solely on your own arrogance. Its very cute.

I like the saturated colors of the previous iterations of the Galaxy phones and the color profiles don't cut for me on the S4. Is there some kind of mod or hack that will allow me to customize the colors and make them more saturated?
I assume you are running a stock rom.
And I don't thing there is such a mod. I'm not an expert, but I think it takes some coding, to change the current values on your phone. How and where to do it? Not a clue, but I agree with you, I would like this too.

At one time Voodoo Color would of been the answer, but I don't know if development for Voodoo color will be for S4 line since I have not heard any mentions of it.
AndreiLux had implemented that on the Galaxy S3 and Note 2 (i guess).
Maybe someone can port that to the S4.
EDIT: Oh and it seems that he has kinda the same on the i9500. It is kinda different. But maybe someone can still port that over.
