I was just tinkering with my old S2 and I was wondering why the G3 doesn't have different color profiles like the S2 does. "dynamic", for instance, increases the already quite vibrant oled colors.
my laptop doesn't have an extraordinary screen but nvidia's digital vibrance make up for it quite nicely.
So, is there any way we can digitally enhance color saturation on the G3 on a rooted, stock rom? I don't mind the colors becoming inaccurate, I'm just a color nut (the only reason I'm not switching to a note 4 is the price).
Note, I am aware of the color tweaking you can do in the ease of access panel, but that only gives a small contrast boost before it starts to change the hues completely.
It doesn't have the Samsung tweaks because it's not a Samsung device.
The only colour Adjustment I know of is the one in Accessibility. Haven't heard of any others
Go to Settings > Accessibility > Color Adjustments, and set it just above the camera icon
Check out the screenshot
and put it exactly there
and BOOM... colors are more vibrant and more contrast to the display in general
Oh and BTW the reason is that the G3's display is an IPS panel while the S2 ( and most Samsung's phones) is an AMOLED display..which is by it's nature has more vibrant colors(more than I like) and deeper blacks than IPS displays

I hope this comes for the Note:
Color, Super AMOLED color and sharpness optimizations
Anybody know it´s possible on the Note?
I really don't like the colour reproduction of my nexus 7... it's so dead and washed out, even worse than my ipad 2...
But one day I found a kernel for galaxy s3 that allows you to modify the colour reproduction level...
is there a such thing for nexus 7 as well???
thanks
Hi
I recently bought a OnePlus3 - which has a non standard sRGB color calibration - I think it looks beautiful.
With the recent firmware update, I can turn on sRGB but then the display looks kind of dull - it actually looks dull like my S4.
Question:
Is there a hack/mod for my S4/CM13 - I can use to get more vibrant (maybe false) colors, like the ones I have on my OP3?
Galaxy S4 already uses the dynamic display mode by default, which causes colors to look extremely vibrant and saturated.
CM13 has a color calibration option.
I am not able to get WHITE on the galaxy S4 compared to OP3 - using the settings / calibration.

The OP3 on the left has brightness at 80-ish% and the S4 at 100%.
Even if I set the adaptive mode to 'Outdoor' it is still a greyish/yellow-white compared to OP3.

I know it's an old post, but you can adjust the colour temperature to get the same effect.

Excerpt:
“The Galaxy S8 is the most innovative and high-performance Smartphone display that we have ever lab tested, earning DisplayMate’s highest ever A+ grade.”
What’s New;
The Galaxy S8 has the following major new display performance features and display functions, which we cover in detail throughout the article:
· A new larger 5.8 inch Full Screen Display that fills almost the entire front face of the Galaxy S8 from edge-to-edge. Its display is 18% larger in screen area than the Galaxy S7, with almost exactly the same width but 17% taller.
· The Home button and Navigations buttons are now incorporated within the touchscreen display.
· A new display form factor with a taller height to width Aspect Ratio of 18.5 : 9 = 2.05, which is larger than the 16 : 9 = 1.78 on the Galaxy S7 (and widescreen TVs) because the display now has the same overall shape as the entire phone.
· It is taller in Portrait mode and wider in Landscape mode. This provides extra space for Notifications and for displaying multiple windows and content.
· A new 3K Higher Resolution 2960 x 1440 Quad HD+ display with 570 pixels per inch.
· Support for 4 Screen Modes and 3 Standard Color Gamuts with High Absolute Color Accuracy based on our extensive lab measurements.
· A new full 100% DCI-P3 Color Gamut and Digital Cinema mode that is also used for 4K Ultra HD TVs, so the Galaxy S8 can display the latest high-end 4K video content.
· The DCI-P3 Gamut is 26 percent larger than the Rec.709 Gamut that is used in 2K Full HD TVs.
· The Galaxy S8 is the first Smartphone to be certified by the UHD Alliance for Mobile HDR Premium, which allows it to play all of the same 4K High Dynamic Range content produced for 4K UHD Premium TVs.
· A new Video Enhancer that provides HDR-like Expanded Dynamic Range for photos and videos that don’t have HDR coding.
· A new record high Peak Brightness with over 1,000 nits, which improves screen visibility in very high Ambient Light, and provides the high screen Brightness needed for HDR.
· A new user adjustable White Point with RGB Color Balance slider controls that can change the Color of White for the Adaptive Display screen mode.
· New front and back Dual Ambient Light Sensors for significantly improved Automatic Brightness settings.
· A new Night Mode with a Blue Light Filter that allows the user to adjust and reduce the amount of blue light from the display for better night viewing and improved sleep.
What’s Improved;
The Galaxy S8 also has the following improved display performance features and display functions, which we cover in detail throughout the article:
· Higher Screen Brightness from 5% to 19%.
· Larger Native Color Gamut with 113% DCI-P3 for better displayed Colors in High Ambient Light.
· Improved Absolute Color Accuracy.
· Improved Viewing Angle performance.
· Enhanced configurable Edge Display for the curved side screens.
· Enhanced Always On Display mode operated with IC hardware rather than App software.
· Enhanced Personalized Auto Brightness Control.
· Enhanced Image Processor for Adaptive Dynamic Brightness and Contrast Range Expansion.
· Enhanced Performance Modes and Power Saving Modes.
· Stronger curved Gorilla Glass 5 protecting the display.
Galaxy S8 OLED Display Technology Shoot-Out!
-------
Can't wait for the Note 8 "Great" (a.k.a. 옹호) to show up and show off its display along with other expected innovations!
Great to get a better perspective on the changes made, undoubtedly the best screen to grace a smartphone.
Very much looking forward to shipment day......?

Even though I'm looking very much at the GS8+ because of availability, the article doesn't even compare to other competitors especially being the Xperia XZ Premium. The XZ Premium is literally built with a 4K HDR screen and it's one of the most well renowned top flagship features. For DisplayMate to not even mention it kind of discredits what it grades any way if it does not compare other flagships.

They are comparing it to their previous model, that's what most people care about as Samsung panels have been the best for quite some time. It's to show improvements over the last gen screens. You can always compare the review score between different devices yourself. The S8 is the highest rated mobile screen they have tested. Sony and LG etc are not really competitors, they don't sell enough phones. Apple is Samsung's major competition as they are both on top, by a huge margin. Most are losing money not making it. So they are doing the review for the largest number of potential consumers.
4k screens on a phone are very good for one thing, VR. Outside of that there isn't much difference at all, other than loss of performance and battery life. I would appreciate the higher res as an option myself though because I enjoy VR.
4k is wasted on smaller sized TV's even, unless you're sitting a few inches away from it. It's best for 50 inch and above screens. Over 60 is preferable if sitting a reasonable distance away.
If another phone takes top spot this year then they will probably compare that to the Samsung...
Does any ROM have display mode settings like Lineage's "Dynamic" or "Natural?"
The Axon version of Lineage is conspicuously missing this much needed feature. Even ZTE's crappy stock ROM has a "Gorgeous" setting that livens things up.
Out of the box, the Axon's display looks low color gamut, with anemic colors, worse than most IPS panel.
I'm not looking for accuracy (we all know that the Axon's screen isn't accurate anyway) but deeper colors like an AMOLED display is supposed to have. The Galaxy S panels pop a lot more yet score much, much lower delta values than the Axon, which looks drab AND is inaccurate. At least give me POP if not accuracy.
