I don't know if its just me but almost every kernel that I've used that supports voodoo color I can't adjust the gamma values. Is this an ICS thing? Sorry if this is a stupid question

You probably have i9023 variant of Nexus S, which has SLCD not Samoled. Voodoo color only works on Samoled display.

Nah, I have the T-Mobile variant, the i9020t. Voodoo Color was working fine I think back on air kernel 3.5 I would just have the green screen bug cause of my gamma values but now my gamma values don't do anything only if i raise them, which makes my colors appear darker? By default my screen looks a little washed out color wise.

That's not a voodoo color problem. I remember that r_data did that on purpose to eliminate green screen thing. If you don't like it, you can always use a different kernel.

Thats the thing I've tried different kernels with voodoo color support and its all the same thing. :/ I'd love to use Air's kernel if my colors didn't look so washed out to begin with

Black on white text on epic sucks. You can see jagged edges and color artifacts. I understand that this is AMOLED, but one of the roms did improve that! I don't remember, which rom it was, it is no longer available and syndicate rom font rendering is the same as stock.
There was part of that old rom I used supposed to improve font rendering, I don't remember its name either.
Or am I the only one unhappy with book reading/browsing on this otherwise great device?
I can't much tell a difference, but I think that it was a voodoo color enhancement that you might be talking about.
Yes, voodoo color, thanks! It adjust default sharpening strength. Is there a way to add voodoo to a non-voodoo rom, on epic 4g? I can't find the way...

Just an FYI, i do agree with what you are saying, the Kindle for Android has three dif color options for reading, if you are inclined to read your books through there.

Yes, just use a kernel with voodoo. You can keep the same rom.
Epic Proportions
Have you guys noticed that the overall color & brightness on the SGSII is much "darker" than that of the SGS? I have both devices and side by side, the difference is quite significant. I know the contrast is supposed to be higher on the SGSII, but it almost makes some backgrounds & icons look too dark.
Thanks in advance, and look forward to your feedback.
Better or worse? Than s1

Can't really tell if it's better or worse, but given I'm coming from S1, it looks a bit dark to me. Maybe just not used to the new screen/contrast...

Thanks, where did you read this? My SGS is running Froyo 2.2.1, so that could be why.
I have with me both phones and I have to say the maximum brightness is about the same for both.
But what is very clear is that the sgs screen looks very blue comparing to sgs II.
Also SGS II's brightness can go down further than SGS which is also good considering battery life.
Probably the color change Google did with 2.3.3
Looks horrid on my nexus s. I used kernel with voodoo to change back the colors
I don't have GS2 yet but I read in this forum that under display setting there is 3color profiles to choose from?

This probably explains it. Flesh tones are darker in the icons and it just looks overly contrasted.
Thanks!
Sounds like that's what it is..I would have though Samsung would have changed them back IMO ruins the overall look of the oled Colors don't pop out at you like they should and whites also...dull look
Wait for kernel with voodoo color you can fix its not permanent.
Did u check in your settings for option to change?

Yeah, tried the background contrast dynamic vs standard vs movie... didn't really do much. Even on full brightness, the colors definitely look over-contrasted on the 9100... especially comparing icons.
I know I'm being picky... but, I still have both phones, and side by side, it's pretty significant.
Coming too from galaxy s and I find the contrast somehow too high..
@cmd512 did u found a solution for this?
To be honest comparing with my old SGS. It looks perfect because next to my S2 it jusy looks b l u e

What about the power saving feature? There is a pretty big difference between max brightness with auto power feature on and off
I never used the captivate at max brightness so the current difference is minimal and my captivate is on a loan for a friend who left his iphone in the cab
much too dark on the dark tones. I'm hoping for a voodoo color to bring back the natural in it . It just sux coming from sgs 1 (with voodoo color also ofc).
Some other things I noticed is that in native gallery an movies app there is an overall sharpness effect. On hd movies it looks ok but on photos it looks really bad.

You can find some measurements I did on the SGSII's display in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124669
The issue you are describing is reflected in the high gamma. The high gamma value is even worse with "auto-adjust screen power" option disengaged.
Basically the colors become dark too fast when for values between 30% and 0% of maximum brightness. The result is picture with black crush and loss of shadow details.
I have already alterted supercurio to this issue and Voodoo color should allow me to come up with calibrated values that avoid or at least mitigate this issue.
that would be very cool. indeed I was waiting for a voodoo color (since I don't think we'll see a voodoo sound on this thing). I saw that Cognition rom has a "voodoo color" on the soon list.
I have found the best screen colors for Voodoo Color on the Glitch Kernel.
Screen RGB multipliers
Red - 2300875360
Green - 2300875360
Blue - 2914441920
Screen Gramma Hack
Red - 50
Green - 55
Blue - 44
Colors are even better, more vivid, truer, and richer.

I dont mean to sound like an ass, but that is one of Glitch kernel's biggest downfalls to me. The colors are WAY off, whites are so off its not even funny. I spent 2 days trying to get the whites to look white and the colors to look right and it just doesnt look right. That was partly the reason why i went back to stock/TW stuff.

HABEEB IT!
turn the gamma settings down low to get good contrast and better blacks and whites. then tweak them to your screen and do the rgb multipliers however you want. every phone is different but the gamma down low with your own rgb settings will probably make things much more vivid.

It's true that the colors in Glitch kernel are not at best, but tweaking them like sageDieu said really improve them. Every phone is different, but every user too..!
how would i go about changing these settings?

You need to be on the Glitch kernel and install the Voodoo Control application from the market. Then scroll down in the app near the bottom and play with the color settings.
I found these are the best for my phone

Do we have any options as far as color tweaking goes? I use the trinity kernel on my galaxy nexus, and I love those colors.
Do we just have to wait for more custom roms and kernels come out? Or is there an app that allows us to customize the values?

You're gonna need something like Franco's app to do something like that
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
from what I understand the color tweaking is done on a kernel level, so we gotta wait till someone makes a kernel supporting it
has any one made a kernel that will tweak the color??
as of now, its not possible. the nexus 7 lcd screen isnt as user friendly as a samoled screen, not with the tkt app or with the franco kernel updater.
Any news on that? The screen is killing me, it could look good but the calibration is so bad it hurts my eyes. Gamma sits way too high, gives it that overexposed washed out look. At 20% brightness i find it just bearable.
I hope someone can come up with somthing.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I hope someone comes up with a solution. It would be nice to have the ability to adjust the color a bit
If so, would you mind telling me which ones have color calibration? Can't stand these washed out colors.

The colors are not washed out, they're actually more accurate than all the amoled displays out there. The Xperia's have washed out displays, trust me. Also, pretty sure you can't. You have to root, switch kernels and then fix the colors through various apps.

Flash faux kernel or Franco and use trickster mod or faux app to control colors and gamma. Faux display app has some awesome presets for colors that really make the colors pop and get rid of the gamma wash out. I cant stand the stock gamma either, too washed out.
