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.
So all models have the same 5" diamond pentile matrix 1080p OLED display, arguably the best and definitely one of the most interesting smartphone displays around, but are there any decent settings for non-TW based ROMs?
Obviously this is subjective and dependent on purpose, but my preference for any computer display is to aim for sRGB / 6500k colour. Thanks to some amazing work by AndreiLux, the best option seems to be anything running a kernel with the right version of his STweak (or Synapse) software, where you can load a preset profile based on professional calibration of a similar unit. Awesome.
As far as I can tell this means using either his own Perseus kernel for i9500 or Wanam's Adam kernel for i9500/i9505 (which has it incorporated, I'm not sure but rather hoping that the i9505 version also has the S4 display preset included), the only problem is that both of these only support TW ROMs. Then there's Samsung's "Movie" mode, which seems to me the second best option but again is TW only.
Personally I'm getting the i9505 as I need/want 4G and much prefer even the GPE ROM to TW (and I don't mind the slightly inferior DAC + camera sensor), but the lack of any decent display settings seems like a major oversight by Google and I'm surprised it isn't picked up on more by the media. As much as I don't want to, I might end up running TW for this reason alone.
So my question really is whether there are any options for display calibration on a non-TW based ROM? AOSP is understandly lacking in this department but AFAIK the GPE ROM incorporates a lot of the TW code and closed drivers etc. so it stands to reason that it should theoretically be possible.
I noticed that in 4.3 the default colours of my screen were 100x better than in 4.2. They were so good that for the first time I didn't have to use a custom kernel for colour calibration. But it turned out most of the 4.3 ROMs out there were so buggy that I had to go back to 4.2.
At the moment I'm using Franco's kernel but the included colour tools are bad because applying more saturation also adds contrast which makes grays look way too dark. Now I'm wondering if there's a way to import the colour calibration from 4.3 kernels to 4.2? Or if there's a better tool to modify the colour calibration.

If you use TricksterMod it has an option to set 'LCD Color Presets' for some rom, although I don't think its available for stock, but you can still manually tune the colors and save it as a profile. I'm using CyanogenMod right now and it has presets for "Google, LG, and Paranoid Android".
I think you should look for a stable 4.3 rom instead.
Hello, if you have noticed, every rom for this device, eui or not, are a @#￥%# besides the stock one. IM thinking about what kind of *optimization is done because in every rom i chequed the screen brightness is worse than stock, due to battery savings they say... Every kind of battery optimizations, power consumption kernel tweaks roms mods... BUT IF YOU TRY 26s install playstore the rom goes 100 percet fluid and goes very very well. including the ORIGINAL screen brightness problem that the people are complaining about, and better camera, and of course BETTER BATERY TIME. including all the chinese apps without debloat,, freecing it. SO If any of us start thinking about it and if not i will say my point. The modded roms for this device are collecting data from the user and selling it over other companies etc etc.
if you.dont believe me try yourself. i will very glad to liaten to your opinion.
cheers
my point is that the stock 26s rom is far far away better than any lineage or eui rom for this phone. including battery screen time speed of the device. screen brightness etc. Some of us are.complaining about.poor battery life. LAG and poor screen brightness. SO developers start tweaking the.rom. DECREASES the maximum brightness tweaks the kernel they said... and the result as.worse. INCLUDING roms with more that 20 or 90 versions.
if you think in a mobile phone there is ALL your life. SOMEONE could gain economical benefits from this if they collect all this information for whatever his needs are.
I HAVE THE.SAME SENSATION IN MORE THAN 5 DEVICES THAT I HAVE IN.THE.LAST YEAR.
And this.could not be a coincidence.
TRY by yourself the.stock rom 26s without any cook done, and tell.me your point. goodbye
Where do you find the 26s stock? In my opinion, besides the "less" performance of every custom rom, it has some advantages, I've been using a Chinese rom distribution for almost a year ( I had a huawei phone ) and it may work better, but I love the freedom "stock" android gives you, such as customization, better notification work, etc.
Stock rom or stock mod rom are slow for app installation, also brightness may be less bright and cannot get darker at night. Nougat roms give more brighness and can get darker at night. Stock rom 26S have eyes protection mode for use phone at night under Display, where Nougat have night light feature can turn on/off for use phone at night and speed as I mentioned like install apk file Nougat is flying where Stock rom is slower but optimized rom is acceptable.
This is good Nougat rom I am using maybe yoiu can try it:

This is true and false at the same time.
The stock roms have more brightness than CM lineage ROMs. BUT the developers, all, cut out the brightness yo save battery also performance, and the result is worse.
If you try the 26s stock ROM released in April/may you Will be pleased in terms of battery life, speed, stability and brightness, camera, etc etc etc.
The brightness with the stock rom is like an Iphone

I tried Stock 5.9.26S by ALBA in Russia forum, Stock 26S v5 by C.B.G, Small Eui v16 by Aurel latest, I found no significant difference to other rom or 5.9.23S, there was Google app/Google Play crashing issue at the start of 26S. Brightness is no issue for me even 30-40% indoor is plenty bright.
In small eui v16 you can have the same brightness configuration as a stock rom, also i've notice less ram but i dont care because i dont have too much apps open at the same time. I like this rom because i can customize everything with almost 0 bugs and good performance
It might seems to be a stupid question. But with the stock pie rom the brightness level is lower than it was in Oreo which makes it almost unusable in direct sunlight. Does the custom roms use a different brightness level or not?
