I have a P7500 and i have used both stock ICS and CM9 and CM10. wat i have observed is the screen brightness is always higher in the stock version than in the AOSP/CM9-10 versions at the same slider levels. what i want to know is....
1. has any one noted this issue? cos i cud not find it in the Q/A or general or the dev forums.
2. is it a touchwiz display driver issue? can it be replicated in the CM versions?
Thnks in advance.

Im at a loss for words and troubleshooting. I can not seem to figure this one out. I have posted my issue in the ROMs thread and am getting help but no whammy!
Here is the issue I got tired of running an AOSP ROM and wanted to try something new so Im currently running Team Nocturnal Shooter ROM with sense 3.0! Im enjoying this ROM except for one thing.... When I go outside I cannot see the damn screen cause its sooo dim and dull. I get no backlight. I have turned auto brightness off and kept it all the way up. I have even flashed a different kernel Im now running the new chop suey and I still have no luck I have done so many different wipes and flashes my head is doing the exorcist over here. Im very frustrated and very upset because Its only happening on Sense based ROMS. Last night I was up till 5am flashing multiple AOSP ROMS and some MIUI and CIUI ROMS. When I used those after letting the screen lock I went to unlock it and it was dim with no light this is the issue!
Please any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated I really would like to give sense a run for a bit.
My phone was rooted many years ago when it first came out its an older Evo never got any OTA updates always got my updates through CM7 which is what Ive always ran...Im just ready for a change
im not sure about team nocturnals shooter rom but i've seen this with virus's, energy and mik 3.0 (i know i know its sense 2.1+3.0) but there have been some backlight tweaks built in from rcmix (from personal experience on energy and mik's im sure there are otehr that use it) that help tweak it if ur interested in trying those. personally i have used switchpro which has a shortcut to change brightness to what ever levels i want so i have it go 20 (indoor) 40 (outdoor) to auto (for when im lazyyy lol) and usually i can see i fine then
or maybe its time for some ics
Please please good sir point me in the right direction I gave mik a shot and virus but didnt find this tweak to help is switchpro an app and what is ICS I been stuck in the land CM for way to long Im stuck in the ruins of the AOSP battlelands... Please good sir...point me in the right direction Im so stressed! 2 days of trying to figure this out
I am using NRGs energy rom... its a sense 3.0... i love it very stable, iv not had any issues with it. my screen brightness is very adjustable and i am able to see it in all differnet conditions.
Every sense ROM I flash it boots up I have backlight then once the screen locks and I go to unlock it its dimmed out again and it never adjusts and I cant adjust it
switchpro is an app that acts as the same as the power widet( i think thats what htc calls it). you can customize it to fit what you want there such as flashlight, wifi sleep policy so and so forth. there are a few others like it on the market which you can consider i believe switchpro was on sale or something usually why i buy an app.
ICS = Ice cream sandwich aka 4.0.x
Latest and greatest to come out of google. Basically its what cm and what not will be based off as soon as it gets past the development hurdles that all of our wonderful developers are working on currently. so if you liked aosp you can stick with it too.
now that you say its becoming more of an across the board issue maybe the proximity/light sensor is acting wonky which would explain your issue more than a rom problem.
I went and used an ICS ROM JTG latest installment and Im running with no issues at all
I have a tab 10.1 3G version. and i have tried both stock iCS and CM9and CM10 wen they came out. and i have observed few things.
the brightness of the screen is much more higher at the least slider level than in the CM9 or CM10. wat i mean to say is at the least brightness the stock ICS is much more brighter. any particular reason for tat?
thanks in advance.

I have tried ganbarou which is based on CM9 and also noticed this. While the lower brightness may be saving power I didn't really like the auto brightness settings, it was too dark and unreadable in many situations(basically any situation except dark room). So, my guess is Samsung limited the brightness to a reasonable values.
That's what I don't like in most custom roms, the devs are trying to squeeze the **** out of the devices, making them achieve amazing things but also making them pretty unpleasant for general use.
I'd prefer not to stress my eyes, instead of having +30mins of battery life.
cheers
The increased brightness range is better. The lower brightness is good for night time reading.
Hello,
I have a problem. Compared my S4 9505 with a friend S4 9505. Both don't have the same tint, it's like my S4 display have less colors than his S4, who have more colors on the display.
My S4 have the ROM Omega version 10, based on MH1, stock kernel. Less color than his S4.
His S4 have the ROMOmega version 9, based on MGA, stock kernel. More color than my S4.
I looked his/my setup are same on the display.
It is a problem related to Software with the ROM, kernel or Hardware?
Anyone have a idea?

I thinked about the kernel issue too but both are Stock kernel and not Customkernel.
Maybe Samsung changed something between theses both stock kernel MGA and MH1 no?

EDIT: Solved - check CM11 discussion thread in the General section for @kabaldan 's fix. Fixed nightlies shoild start soon.
Hi all, I just received my RAZR M today and as usual, I flashed the latest CM nightly (20140301, unified) on it. To my surprise, there was heavy lag and stutter all over the system, even though I swear I did a clean install and didn't install anything afterwards (not even GAPPS). I posted this in the CM11 discussion thread:
AndyYan said:
...outfitted it with dhacker's TWRP 2.6.3.2, plus the latest unified nightly and @arrrghhh 's kernel, but to my surprise, animations stutter everywhere and items take a while to open. Reflashed without the kernel and the lag persists.
For reference, I flashed the same unified nightly on my Photon Q and things are still as smooth as ever. The RAZR M and Photon Q shares near identical internals, screen, etc. - they even share the same unified nightly.

I decided to try older nightlies to trace back the latest usable one, but again to my disappointment, out of the ones available on get.cm, only CM10.1 operates as smooth as it should, all builds from CM10.2 onwards lag heavily.
Then I came across this:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/79209-major-lag-on-nightlies/
... which precisely described the issue I'm having, but without a solution.
Can anyone, especially those who claim to be using CM with "no problems", shed some light on this? Please don't advise me away from CM, I'm used to its feature set and don't want to get used to another unless necessary... Thank you in advance.
EDIT: Tried even more ways to ease the lag, only "disable HW overlays" seemed to help for a tiny bit. Also, testing with multiple benchmark softwares show that the device's performance is unaffected, so maybe the problem is on the graphics side...

I can confirm the same behavior. CM 10.1 is soo smooth. I've been living with the CM11 problems for the additional features though. I just reloaded a CM10.1 backup to make sure I wasn't imagining things... It's definitely much smoother. I hour this gets fixed.

Already fixed - see the CM11 discussion thread in the General section for details. A kernel is uploaded for flashing; also, the necessary patch is already pushed, so next nightly will hopefully include the fix.

Perfect! It's working much better.

Hello,
I had an Xperia Play for some time and am a total noob on flashing and installing kernels and roms, so I wanted to ask the people here that may have some experience with different ones.
Basically i'd like to know about input lag experiences. I used to have the stock Xperia Play that, while sluggish, had no noticeable input lag.
I then installed Xperia NXT 2 with Lupus GB and while it performed better I noticed massive input lag on everything, most noticeable in games. (this was along with the display looking a lot smoother so maybe this is due to some kind of vsync or similar feature going on).
I had the same problem with another ROM called "NXT Gaming".
I tried looking all over this forum and googling in general but I haven't seen this specific issue addressed anywhere.
So I guess my question is, in the interest of not blindly going out there trying ROMs/Kernels one by one... has anyone noticed this? Is it the Kernel? Is it the ROM? and do you have any ROMs/Kernels you can recommend that don't have this issue as far as you know?
Thanks in advance.
