Hi all,
I am a new nexus s owner, and from what I can gather Google changed the color temp with the 2.3.4 update. Is there any way to revert to the old temp with CM7? After playing with a GSII at an at&t store, the nexus s looks like complete crap, I really don't get why it was changed to begin with.
Thanks.

It was changed to be more accurate. Unfortunately bluer colors are associated with "more vibrant" and "brighter" even if they really aren't correct.
Quite a few custom Roms implement voodoo color or reverted. I couldn't stand the awful blue tint on everything, so it was a welcomed change.

Thanks for the reply. I went through looking at some of the kernels that said they support it. They all mentioned compatability up to 2.3.5 does anyone know of any kernels or anything that support vodoo on 2.3.6?

I recommend matr1x, it's my favorite kernel for the nexus s and will do what you are looking to do, but netarchy and trinity both are compatible with voodoo colors as well...there are others but those are mainly the ones which I have used.
Check out this thread for voodoo color settings which will probably be more to your liking http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002090
The stock CM7 kernel from the latest nightlies supports voodoo. You just need the voodoo control app to make the adjustments.

That's not entirely correct. My screen was fine pre 2.3.4 and after it was far too blue. I'm well aware of the way manufacturers boost the blues to make their displays brighter and the change did that for my phone. Always hated it.

Well those are the warmth changes that were made kernel side. If you go back to the old threads I even linked into the commits for everyone who swore it was accidental on Google's side. The color pallette was made warmer, not cooler.
If your screen got cooler after the pallette was made warmer it sounds like something else is going on.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
I know it wasn't accidental but I'm not the only one who felt it got significantly cooler. My guess is its just a manufacturing issue since there was the same issue on my wife's ns.

I have been using voodoo with the Matrix kernel so far and loving it, the color contrast is almost unreal, however...does anyone know of any work arounds for the green flash that happens when unlocking? Not a super huge deal, just kind of annoying.
If you are referring to the green screen when the phone screen is about to turn off in MIUI, settings, display, advanced mode under brightness, light levels, use custom, light level to dim( try different amounts) 26 worked for me.

Hello, I own a epic 4g and I had a quick question regarding the nexus s screen and figured it would be better to ask it here because you guys would know more about it. My girlfriend bought a nexus s and I noticed that colors on the screen are smoother. Is this a UI thing, or is there something different about the screen.

you can flash a kernel with Voodoo color and it should change it a little bit
Our froyo source isn't going to be out for a while. And I don't want to go back to eclair, so I guess I will wait. Heh, I'm kinda hoping its a GB change though.

Its mainly GB and the GB launcher. You could push the GB launcher and your phone should be just as smooth screen wise, such as scrolling through screens. I came from the vibrant. As far as everything else, I'm not so sure.

My Evo gets a blue tint when the sun hits the screen. I know his is a problem on the Epic 4G but has anybody ever experienced this on this Evo ?
It's the panel. Some of the EVO's have a display panel with a blue/purple-ish tint, I don't remember if it's the epson or nova but I have the affected one.
You can use CM's color correcting app to adjust the tint, I get lazy to re-do it on every flash but it works pretty good. Just wish it could adjust gamma.
I'm sorry I did not see the solution in you're reply. Where can I find the color correcting app?

Hi folks - My Dad - all 75 years of techno geek in him - just got a Xoom.
He loves Android (on his EVO & trying to learn the Xoom) but his eyes can't seem to see the status bar down @ the bottom clearly.
It looks dim. Is there way to adjust the brightness for the status bar (particularly the lower right one)?
Thanks.
I don't think there is. It just uses the standard screen brightness setting so its the full screen or nothing I think.

Thanks for the input.
From the lack of responses, I tend to think this isn't a huge issue for people. LOL!
We did adjust the brightness for the screen & it didn't seem to make much of an incremental difference.
Try one of the themes that brighten it up.
Touchwiz is brighter, I'm sure the red theme is brighter as well.

Hmmm...will look for it. Thanks for the idea.
If you're going to use a theme, you will have to convince him to let you root his XOOM.
If you want to go that route and don't feel like installing a completely new theme, I can make a brighter version of the stock control buttons for you. The clock font brightness is not editable at this time since hnytool hasn't been updated for 3.2, however.
As far as colors go, green is easiest and brightest seen by the human eye. Try the green theme.

I don't see much of a performance improvement (I don't think there should be one, either), though if you do wipes anyway you're going to avoid a lot of slowdowns.
Shame about the new boot animation, though. I kinda dug the colorfulness of the last one. This is a little too bluish, wooshy, scifi looking, like a wonky portal effect from 10 years ago. Reminds me of the unfortunate tastes that gave the mod community a few too many Matrix themes.

You can change the boot animation back to the old one if you want to. The new alpha-5 boot animation caused me to have a seizure so I found the bootanimation.zip file and replaced the new one with the old one lol
Just get the bootanimation.zip file from one of the previous versions of CM9 (/system/media) and replace.

I don't know if it's just happening to me, but my phone's time is all over the place. The lock screen stays perfect, but the status bar one stays stuck & I have a widget that lags even longer!

Alpha 1 felt slow and chunky to me, with the exception being the browser. May give a5 a shot since the ram settings got tweaked in a4.
If the app switcher still takes >2sec to open it will be a no go.

No slider I'm aware of, just an option to toggle different levels of brightness in the notification bar.

I've been using it for just over a month trying both Franco's kernel and the trinity kernel with very little time on the stock kernel. I've had three crashes in the last three weeks. Two of which may have been my fault for not fixing permissions after flashing a new kernel.

it has nothing to do with ROM control. this theme is built with the t-mobile theme engine, so in theory it works on any rom with that feature: pa, cm10 and most other roms. all i am doing is a proof of concept, it is achievable, even though most themes dont have them.
