I noticed there is a new voodoo control app for gingerbread, I found out after getting a Nexus S, still deciding to either keep it or keep vibrant but I also noticed that this new app allows adjusting of the screen colors. On the nexus S forum someone was nice enough to make a thread with what he thought was the best settings. i would like to know if Our Vibrant forum has anything like this? Looking at the difference between the nexus S and vibrant I noticed the greys on my vibrant are not as accurate as my nexus. Please help I want to keep my Vibrant but the nexus is taking me away.
Well, supercurio, the Guy who wrote voodoo lagfix voodoo sound, and voodoo color (what you're describing), has only implemented voodoo color on the nexus s.
Currently, that type of voodoo color isn't supported on stock Samsung roms on the galaxy s line. As for when it will be, you'll have to take that up with supercurio himself.

Yea but Im running CM7 on both phones except the nexus has a modded version of cm7 available which I like alot. But the screen just seems a little better on the nexus. Its killing me. Also I was able to download the new voodoo control app with color controls on my vibrant running cm7 as well as my bros vibrant running trigger or bionix I forget. either way its controllable but I just need good settings to make the screen better.
I have found some really good settings for the vibrant hopefully someone can help make it better? Here you go and let me know if this is an improvement
RGB
red 32109
green 32109
blue 42949
gamma
red -28
green -28
blue -28
I was looking for something similar to this program in this thread:

Basically, something that would allow me to change the red/green/blue color levels on my Iconia. Let me know, thanks!
Anything?

My only question its- why? I haven't noticed the color being off on mine, have you?
If you put your tab beside a calibrated monitor you will. But I'm not suggesting the tab 'should' be perfect - they do have a tendency to err on the cool side of things with green or red being the lesser of the gamma.
I would like to have control over the RGB but it's unlikely anything will ever be available. I'm dubious of that app linked to in the OP - though I'm sure it work.

No, not "off." I just wanted something to increase the saturation of my screen, by increasing the levels of the RGB pixels.
I agree, actually. The Iconia could use a saturation boost.

I guess this thread could also be called "how to increase the saturation in the iconia" haha...

So today I flashed CM9 Beta 1, and I noticed the screen was different. The colors were fine, but the text was fuzzy and the icons were blurry. I didn't realize that this was because they disabled Samsung's mdnie coloring, which in my opinion, made the text look a lot better. So who hopes for Beta 2 that they re-enable the old colors because it looks awful now! I know this sounds immature, but I've seen so many complaints and I have to agree.
Where is the poll?
Also, please include an option for "indifferent".
My ol' eyes cant tell one from the other...
edit: Ha! Guess I was just to fast, and thanks for the I dont care option!
It looks good too me.. I won't vote yet, I may need to flash back to double check but I am pleased so far..

Got a place I can check that I could tell better than others?
My eyes ain't what they used to be, and I would like to see if I can tell, where it is supposed to be most obvious.
Still, I would rather an option to switch it on/off over stuck with one or the other, if possible.
When it comes to Android, I always tend to go with the "more options" path
God I agree with this. Please change it back. I'm getting more use to it but it does not really look all that better, and has more negatives than positives.

I can live with it. It is certainly not a deal breaker for me, as I can tell the difference from beta0.
It doesn't look any different to me...I guess that means I don't give a crap. More free RAM sounds good to me.
Anyone have some screenies to show us the difference?

Screenies won't help. It mods the display. Camera photos will work. I notice a smoother fade on the settings app and keyboard.

I definitely notice its smoother in the settings app and i like that. However i wish the text would still render i bit better and i hope that they re-enable mdnie in beta2, or at least find a way to improve the text while keeping the smoothness in some other areas. Idk. Back to beta0 for me.

I retracted my statement about the RAM as this doesn't actually free up any RAM. That was something else they modified.

You cant because the camera wont recognize it any differently. Without any bias, id say you just have to try them out yourself.

The colors on my screen look more natural, but I don't notice any difference in text. I switched the kernel several times. I guess everyone's phone is affected differently.
Maybe it's something more complicated like differently manufactured screens or something (just taking a shot in the dark).
Some areas are better than others. I see it with black text on gray. There is a difference. Small, but you get the colors right you'll see it. Smaller the font the better it gets too.
I vote back or options.
I've been using voodoo color and then I updated to beta 1 and the white color is way off it looks like to me but it could just be not use to using my phone without voodoo

this was most likely removed due to the fact that CM roms use nothing from the OEM. If the is an OEM setting it will never be added to CM roms.

No, this was removed because the devs on "our" end were experimenting with it. They even claimed they were unsure what it did, but that Noobnl said it looked better without it. Read the blog there's more info there. They are also letting people test a temp boot kernel with it re-enabled so they can decide before the next release whether to re-enable it or not. I just with in the meantime that they would release a perm flashable of the alternate kernel isntead of just the temp bootable.

Really? I'll have to check with the CM team as they make it a point to never add any OEM features or settings. If its not part of the AOSP coding or CM coding then normally it is not added to Official from versions
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.

Lol really? All I see in every rom thread is "my screen is green I flashed this kernel cuz I want voodoo color but I can't be bothered to read through 50 pages to see the fix". And the replies are all "SEARCH!!1!11ONE!!"
The purpose of this thread is so people who have the green screen can open and see how their laziness contributes to their problem.
I am all in favor of turning this into a settings discussion but the main purpose has been stated
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.

Its definitely kernel related.
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.

Hello All,
Anyone know of any good Kernels or ROM's that have color fixes for the Nexus 7's washed out blacks. I'm not sure if it's just the limitations of the LCD but I find the blacks are pretty much dark greys in almost all instances, even with proper brightness settings.
I know on my Gnex there's been Kernels that have optimized the colors to display more true. Any ideas or personal experiences with similar things out there for the N7?
Thanks in advance!
it's the question i'm asking from some days...already wrote this in some 3ad,hope that a kernel dev (devs)at some time port the colours\gamma\contrast\multipliers tweaks laso on n7.i don't know if it's possible to have it on lcd panel and tegra3 Soc...but anyway,i don't receice a negative response...(yet)and i'm quite expectant..
Yer as of now...no. all we can do is hope. All we really need is a gamma interface. Maybe a contrast to, but I'd say mainly gamma imo.

I'm very new Nexus 7 user but from what i've gathered by now it looks like we have to beg franco (franco.Kernel developer) to add gamma controls to his app, just as we have on Galaxy Nexus.

it has nothing to do with begging Francisco(or morfic, hes been begged at too). it has everything to do with the options not available for the screen itself. if it was possible, both of them would have added it. its not like the user friendly samoled screens of the nexus s and galaxy nexus. the lcd screen of the nexus 7 is not comparable to the amoled and samoled screens. the manufacturer of the lcd screen did not give us the options(to enable in custom kernels). yes, thats all Francisco and morfic did in the ns and gnex, enable and tweak options that were already there. they didnt magically hack in those options.

we are still hopeful that there is. if its in there, no one has found it yet, but many have looked. theres always a chance that they are hidden very well. ill remain on your side, hopeful.
heres a collection of scripts put together by Metallice, it saves me typing them all out(thanks Metallice ), to turn off/on the smart dimmer. itll help prevent screen washout after watching videos(or gaming i think).
