[Q] Screen looks bad after flashing PA!!! - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi i flashed it today and its freaking awesome love it also like halo+pie they are a little bit hard to but its ok anyway i also lsoted a lot of awesome wallpapers came whit nexus 4
btw now thee chrome icon the google logo the white pages everything looks a brown bad like i dont like it everything on screen is that expect mc4 game:!!! is there anyway to make it default? i love the feel tht some ppl call it washed out!!!!

looking at screen shots i got from my stock they look way too overcolored and bad:!!!

I'm afraid it has been made to give a better saturated look and feel as the mako out of the box is just dam right rubbish . now you can alternately install a custom kernel or use an app to change such visual gamma settings.
But I for one love the pa colours. I actually use faux kernel and fauxclock and has set droid-punchy as my default.

Little update on DarkyNote

As my thread has been locked in the development section and the moderator hasnt answered my PM i thought i'd post here a little update as how the rom is progressing/looking.
As you can see most of the theming is done, still need a few tweaks to really get rid of all that samsung blue and also theme the messaging, dialer and contacts. Currently working on a very extended Power menu with a lot more functions than the standard reboot, recovery and download. Also you'll notice 11 scrollable toggles along the top of the pull down menu which when long pressed launches the individual settings menu of that toggle.
Cheers for looking and after adding the usual darkys ram hacks, tweaks n mods we should soon be ready for a release.

big,big,big!!!
im glad to saay epiiiiiiiiiiiiic, thats sick soo sick, looking forward to it, one thing though i guess if you can make a seprate theme flashable via CWM, total Black Will Be Cool as well, im not a fan of green actually, but like your roms, also will you make it 240 dpi, clear widgets etc..
Extended powermenu done, moved tabs in contacts etc to the bottom as I personally find it easier on a big phone lol, transparent dialer, little more themeing then will be posting up the rom

nice....I am also working on lidroid statusbar right now and will finish soon
I am really interested in your Extended Menu you are talking about
call recording feature
can you please give thought to including call recording functionality via proper kernel for this rom and the mod itself baked in would be much appreciated.
sincerely appreciate all that you guys do!
We will be releasing a beta rom to begin with can't believe its taking so long to upload ffs lol.. all stock apps are left in for now etc and our darky tweaks and hacks.
The people that choose to download and test it we'd love feedback and then will begin taking requests for addons and modifications. Future builds will include the popular ones whereas all the updates will be available as flashable seperates. The rom isnt completely finished looks wise but its as close as we can get it to be able to release quick a stable rom that you can use everyday while we continue to finish it to.the usual darky standard.
Promise the release will be here within 24 hours

You can basically do everything from the toggles in the powermenu instead plus a few extras.. got it working on the s1 but having a little difficulty porting it to.the note
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
First testing of the rom going well.. had a slight problem with some s2 apps in there fecking up the note Widgets (that'll teach us to blind mod lol)
Well its running quick and smooth.. no noticeable lag.
Just currently uploading the last RC version make sure this one installs smoothly this time and if so will be uploading it here for u all to test.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Ok sounds good, some may think it look good order may think otherwise (for the green), that is all matter of personnal preference, BUT for our nice screen and the life of it led could you please make a version without green but blue for ex.
Because it will really more quickly have a "kind of burning effects" on our screen to have static green spot (the green and red life / best result for led is shorter than for the blue led for ex.)
Else contact and other tweaks looks promising (maybe port also from SGS some optionnal/customizable good lockscreen)
looks awesome
We've always had a green theme for the darkyrom so that will stick but our visual modders are working hard getting the darkyota app working on the note so complete vusual customisation will be available to you. Also just as a side note most professionals agree that its actually blue that causes most damage (there is a lengthy thread on this in our forums) though you would have to have the phone on 24 hours a day for nearly 4 years before you would notice anything on sansungs amoled screens

galaxy s 2 vs desire HD question

i have the desire HD, my friend has the samsung, his screen looks absolutely amazing, its so clear, crisps and clean, my desire looks cloudy and nowhere near as bright side by side, do us HTC users have a rom that is going to make my phone as nice without having to pay for a whole new handset? i do find the sense overlay to be messy now, it was good at one point but now its just muddled...
I came from original galaxy s to my inspire and have always thought the display was horrible??
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
Well Yes and No.
hardware wise
The screen is just plain LCD(or Slcd ) and will never be as vibrant as galaxy s2' S Amoled screen which is able to produce deep blacks and deeper colours.
BUT
Software wise: sense has this "glossy" theme which can be arguably clunky and ugly at times. The s2 A's software interface is more streamlined and less cluttered, which probably is more pleasing to the eye.
You can have a similar UI to the samsung S2 by downloading AOSp roms like CM7 OR MIUI.IMO this makes the screen seem "less cloudy" . Check it out at the development section?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD
currently running a miui rom, but just seems like an iphone port, have tried cyanogen before, but couldnt be bothered to tweak the home screen, saw some beauties around but dont have time to do much.
maybe i`ll book a week off work and have a mess around...
cheers guys.
try reducing your screen dpi if its supported by your rom. Its somehow a new handset experience...
To the Amoled Screens: my brother has the galaxy s and a friend the s2...both screens i find ether blueish or greenish. which they told me came with time.

Tablet mode is a variation on the Android workspace and features a unified notification bar and navigation bar on the bottom of the screen (see attached pic). Also, tablet mode in apps usually just means optimized for more screen real estate (i.e. multi-pane view in mail apps).
I don't know which ROM has the best benchmarks but I do know that Paranoid Android ROM is excellent for trying out tablet mode. It's super smooth and let's you choose between phone, tablet, and phablet (stock on N7) workspace. It also let's you choose between those modes for every app.
You can download Paranoid Android here.

It's a UI format. It puts the notification bar at the bottom and some other things.
Easy to test: change the DPI line in build.prop to 160 from 213. Then reboot.

just switched from nexus4 to s4 , things i dont like

Guys,
Just ditched my nexus 4 for s4 due to brightness and camera issues which I hated the most of nexus4 rest the speed etc was completely enough for a average user like me.
what i miss mostly of my nexus4 is simplicity, whereas s4 is too complicated to use due to tooo many features which are hard to understand.
what i want to know is it possible right now to make it simple as vanilla...
sorry if i wasn't clear enough to make you guys explain.
Thanks
p.s. in terms of these days phone, its sick!

Just spend ten minutes looking through the settings and getting it how you want it. Pretty much all the features that you don't need can be disabled. If you've had a Nexus 4 I don't see how an S4 could be any more difficult to use to be honest.
Thanks for your reply wolf, is it as easy as it was with nexus4 or do i have to face any trouble. I'm completely newbie in all this.

They've released the i9500 version and you can check the Model number of the device:
Settings->last tab->About Device->Model Number.
Just install another launcher like Nova or APEX, they will give you the plain stock Android experience you are looking for. I have Nova running and it actually sped up my phone substantially. I also checked the RAM availability before and after using Nova and essentially stayed the same. Give it a try.

Black and Neon Green colors? I'm guessing you haven't given Nova or Apex a try. It changes everything, homescreen, app drawer, and with Nova you can even set a theme color that changes the color accent colors of the Menus. I used to own a Galaxy Nexus, and I have the options using these launchers to revert everything to stock Android. Don't knock it until you try it, I mean really try it though.

If you're talking about Touch Wiz, the option is in the Touch Wiz app drawer. Hit Menu, then View Type, There's Alphabetical Grid, or Alphabetical List.
Just install nova or apex launcher. Works like a charm.
I prefer nova launcher though.
i'm coming from a nexus 4 as well i too hate all the preinstalled samsung apps, but I disabled most of them.
What I can't stand is the physical home button. Its not a deal breaker but i HATE IT
i switched from nexus 4 too.
things i hate about the s4:
1. back button on the right side because i usually use my phone with the left hand.
2. no recent apps button. so holding the home button is slow.
3. no aosp browser unless using doc's barebone rom. chrome and stock browser is so slowww compared to this.
4. bloated apps and bloated gimmicks features like smart and gesture things which slow down the phone. resolved by turning them off and using doc's barebone rom.
things to love on the s4:
1. nice screen, i mean really really great.
2. better camera than the nexus 4, the nexus 4 has cool tint, like blueish.
3. micro sd card
4. replacable battery, i mean just get the battery kit and have infinity battery. awesome.

Showing Off Your 5.0.1 [BETA]AllianceROM©N910P Customization

This is strictly for showing off what you have done with your N910P while using the 5.0.1 Alliance ROM!!! This is not the actual development or download thread for the ROM. That is located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...-0-1-allianceromn910p-18-themes-huge-t3066673 Please post screenshots of your Alliance ROM tweaks on the N910P. Also, to be helpful to others, tell if you have used other themes in your modifications. No bashing of others for what they have done. Be tasteful with your post cause keep in mind that their are some amazing young minds that are also on this site. I guess that's about it. Have fun & be proud.
Here's my mods. I am using the Carbon Blue theme from Alliance Control, my home screen is set using Nova Launcher with the Future 3D Launcher & Locker theme set for folders & background. The keyboard is from A.I. Type Keyboard Plus that I created myself & can be downloaded from the Theme Market, just look for Joebear1975. Today was my first day of playing around on this ROM & I'm addicted to it & can't with to discover & share my next mod.
A HUGE thanks to the ALLIANCE ROM team for putting together such an amazingly customizable ROM. Also another HUGE thanks & shout out to @lacoursiere18 for helping me set this thread up. [/COLOR]

I don't think you've done anything wrong. Just looks like your looking in the wrong place for the themes. I'm posting some pics showing how/where I got the ROM themes from.
