Dear devs,
I have been searching for a way to calibrate our nexus 7 screen since the colours are washed out. I want to know if there is any application similar to nexus 4 display control for our device. I came across ASUS SPLENDID screen calibration app in fonepad 7 device. Can anyone try to port it to our device?

Hello everybody, I wanted to know your opinions. I am definitely getting one of these new Nexus devices but I don't know if I should get the Nexus 4 or Nexus 7 as my phone. I have listed the pros between the two below.
Nexus 4:
It's designed to be a phone
it's portable
Higher Pixel Density
Back Camera
Nexus 7:
More screen real estate (I use my phone a lot but 4.3" on my old phone doesn't cut it)
Much larger battery
So which device would you guys go with?
The Nexus 7 is a tablet. It has no phone capabilities. You will not be able to make calls or send/receive texts. By the way the Nexus 4 has a 4.7" screen, not 4.3"
why not the nexus 10 with a bluetooth headset??

i used the last over wifi as a phone... a lot, in fact it's been my sole device since it came out... the speaker isn't good enough even with all the fine tuning you can do. I can turn it way down, adjust gain, speaker... etc etc etc but everyone complains of an echo. If you do a bluetooth headset though or headphones or whatever and you aren't using it for many phone calls... then boom. since i have the 7 now though... i must get the 4... only seems logical

I heard that enabling the Phone and Messaging app on the device is possible as was possible on the original Galaxy Tab.
Neither. The Nexus 4 is too small. I'm waiting for a PlayStation Certified Nexus 5 mobile device with 4G capability.
Nexus 7 is too small a Nexus 8 with less bezel sounds good for me. Anything higer than that should be left to the Windows 8 hybrids.
If I really had a choice the Nexus 4..

I was wondering about same thing, N7 HSPA+ with google voice and bluetooth headphone sounds like a good option,
I really don't know much about technical limitations on color calibration, but is it reasonable to assume that since PA was able to get the N4 calibrated with the snapdragon S4 chip, that if the new nexus 7 runs either a snapdragon S4 or 600 that we could see similar results?
I know their success had something to do with the optimus G, but I don't know how much of it. It's asinine at this point to hope that Google will ship their new nexus 7's calibrated - asus doesnt calibrate their screens, neither has any other nexus device out the door.
I'm really hoping that success on one device will transfer over to another. Here's hoping...
Hey guys,
Am new to this forum. I was using the recently launched Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 and was pretty happy with the phone - the UI, battery life (2600 mAh), size etc. However I came across this guy who was selling a 2 month old Nexus 4 for a reasonable price and so picked it up - thought of giving my wife the Samsung.
Now, a couple of things I noticed abt Nexus 4 is that the screen and colors look pretty washed out compared to the Samsung, the stock Kitkat 4.4 UI and controls look very very bland compared to Samsung's TouchWiz. Am not confused whether to keep the Nexus or to sell it off.
I dont want to make a mistake in haste. What do you suggest?
Thanks.
What did you do before this happened?
The Samsung phones use OLED screens while the Nexus 4 has an IPS screen. The washed out colours is a common complaint and many Nexus 4 owners don't know why the LG-branded version has such good colours.
To help alleviate the problem, it would be best to install a custom kernel or ROM that gives you colour control.
I installed the Experience ROM with the iPhone5 colour profile and it looks much better.

Hello! I know that its common knowledge that the nexus devices don't have the best looking screens, and that flashing a custom kernel can fix these issues for the most part, BUT even still, my screen just doesn't look as good as say my friends iPod Touch or another ones S4. I've tried GalaxyS4 colors (preset in FKU) and I'm using obsanity for now, but its still just not very good. Any tips?

You can try bundi22 iphone 5 color or Pa halfbreed.
It'll never equal an Apple device, those simply have the best screens in the market. As for the S4,it uses a completely different display technology. The Nexus 4 uses an LCD screen while the S4 uses AMOLED. And there is only so much you can change with kernel settings.

The Samsung Galaxies have notoriously inaccurate colours, they are really over saturated to make the screen look more vivid. N4's colours are actually pretty accurate, for a cell phone, when I measured them with a calibration tool.
People are just used to unrealistic, over saturated, crap I guess. iPhone 5 is pretty damn nice however: good gamut and balance. But, the Samsung amoled is just cheesy crap.

Try flashing a kernel that allows you to change color profiles or your gamma settings. Then you can play with it and see which profiles you like and adjust them however you want
My beloved Nexus 4 is finally giving up. A vertical zone on the touch screen is no longer responsive and I can't type 'R', 'F' or 'X' on the standard Google keyboard (swedish) when in portrait mode. I guess trying to fix it is not worth the effort, which leads me to the following (possibly off-topic) question: what could be a worthy successor to my Nexus 4 that has served me well for so long? Nexus 5? Nexus 6? Fairphone? Anything else?
