Hi, coming from the note 3. I prefered the white letters on the black background which was standard in the contacts view and the settings view. I also found it easier on the eye (and I assumed it would use less battery as well.)
Is it possible to change note 4 to these settings without rooting.
Thanks
Me too

I'm wondering the exact same thing. The white screens on everything make it too bright, and the negative colors option changes everything, not just screens.
I can't stand the white theme - kills battery and it's hard on the eyes.
I'm also wondering if black background possible. That's the only thing stopping me getting the N4.
Yes please dark theme for Note 4 to our note 4's are too bright to white

Use this picture as a home screen wallpaper, lock screen wallpaper and look at it in the gallery. It looks different in each of those 3 places on my device.
Do not forget to touch the screen without unlocking in lock screen.
What is the lowest number you can see? 4? 1?
Do you see only black and white or also other colors on this picture?
This image is a 800 x 1280, bit depth 32, PNG.
So no scaling, no more excuses for not showing it correctly.

So the lowest you can see is 1? Where? In the Gallery?
Nice pic...
I can only see down to 4 (cannot see 3,2,1) in gallery. On home and lock screen I can see down to 1.My ROM is LA4.
Why is this??
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
In gallery 0 and 1 is same not visible but when i set it as wallpaper/lockscreen 0 is black 1 is visible
So in how is this a screen test ?
The screen is still the same ...
You could ultimately call it a display driver test,
that shows that samsung screwed up the driver implementation
What should it ideally look like?
I can barely see 1 and 2 as too dark but I can make it out.I can start to see 3 clearly and then it gradually gets lighter to 21.
What seems not right is the big jump in brightness going from 10 to 11.
Guys guys guys, enough with the screen issue threads! seriously, its like you are forcefully looking for issues! There are 4 notes in my house, 3 black and 1 white, 2 bought locally and 2 ordered from handtec.com, and none of them have any issues! If u find the screen so disturbing why did u buy it?
oh, ok, so u found the so called issues after purchasing the device.
Here is an advice, SELL it!

I dont think this is a screen issue thread, but a similar thread already exists which is here
Sure you dont have issues, so why care about these threads LOL!
@legion1911
In the stock gallery: I can see upto 3 and 2 is a sharp cut off, Try to hold the home button to bring out the task switcher you would see the cut off start to creep down to #8.
On the lock screen it looks horrible lol! the transition to 0 is smoother but I see random black lines when I touch the screen.
Not really sure if this test means anything.On my notebook I can't see 0 to 3 at all.I can only see from 4 onwards.What does that say about my notebook?
Gallery - 4
Home screen - 1
Lock screen - 1

This test is some what related to the black clipping, this is the reason why we get a sudden color clip to black.

same here!!
another interesting thing: when you enter the pic in gallery you can sometimes (!) see for a very short time down to 1, then after i guess 1/10s it goes up to 4. this happens not every time opening the picture, it seems it is (cpu) load dependent. try it!
this perhaps suggests that it's an energy saving mechanism or any other kind of "optimization" which is the main cause of the cut-off!
although: the screen quality differs in big amounts between different units, as i mentioned in some posts before!

Guys guys guys, enough with the "moaning about what other people are interested in talking about" comments! Seriously, it's like it bothers you that people are interested in discussing things on a forum!
There's a difference between finding things "disturbing" and "interesting". If you don't find it interesting, kindly ignore the thread. Personally, I don't have any issues with my screen, yet I still find some of the issues people have been having interesting.

The same here. Except in the "Movie" screen mode, when the gallery image is displayed down to 3.
Perhaps somebody here is capable of cooking up additional screen modes with different settings...
Interesting test.
Gallery: can see down to 4.
Wallpaper: can see down to 1 (with 24-bit rendering)
Wallpaper: can see down to 3 (with 16-bit rendering)
Lock screen: can see down to 1
Web browser: can see down to 1
Another interesting thing this helped show me was when resizing in the browser (stock or Opera), it was using static dithering... which is just bizarre
Also, seeing down to 1 is a bit too far. I'm on a calibrated Hazro S-IPS monitor at the moment which can clearly distinguish down to #3. Shows that these Super AMOLEDs are too bright...
Gallery. Sometimes on 2 sometimes on 4. On homescreen 1. On lock screen i can see f...in lines!

Lockscreen - 1 with lots of banding
Homescreen - 1

But this is just Samsungs screen calibration.
Deeper blacks in the gallery, it's not a bug it's a feature.
Like Sony's Bravia engine for example.
IMHO Samsung did a bad job.
here are my results of this 'test' (i only count what i see when i look straight toward the device)
Galaxy Note

Samsung 22" @1680x1050 (display1 gaming setup) 4

lock screen not tested
Asus EEEPC 1215N

but what is the meaning of this 'test'?
Is there a way, on my Samsung S4 Stock ROM 4.3, to change, under settings, the colour for the background from white on black to black on white?
Thank you
Saulo
Using Settings > Accessiility > Negative Colors would in theorysolve my problem...but then this new settings applies to everywhere, to each screen, NOT ONLY to settings...this makes making pictures and movies horrible (pics have reversed colors)...
Any idea?
I have vision issues, so having a black blackground and white characters causes me not to clearly see...
Thanks for any suggestions
I would easily switch to a cooked ROM which has the background colour for settings inverted...By the way, it seems that HTC, iPhone and most major provider choose black characters on white background.. Why then Samsung has choose the oppostite?

Probably because of the s4 screen type... Its amoled, so when it shows black, it actually has the pixel off, thus saving power.

Dear Benny
Yes, probably,. However how is it possible in the world nobody else has the glaring problem that I do experience? I do not want to give up Samsung and return to iPhone just because the apple device have white background, right? there must be a workout...
Thank you

You can blame samsung all you want but in actuality its the carrier you bought the device from, AT&T uses white background setting in most of their roms while Rogers uses Black.
Don't like the background colour, switch to a custom rom/different carriers rom and get white settings.
You can easily find out what colour the settings menus are in various roms by looking at screen shots of the rom prior to installing it.
Thank you so much for your info...
Unfortunately I use a S4: it is UNLOCKED, but it is i9502 (dual SIM), and there is ONLY one cooked ROM available (from SVA, ROM 5.5). Which is excellent by the way.
It has black background.
I am very happy about the ROM. I would not want to change to another cooked ROM. And even if I want, there it NO alternative English ROM to support dual SIM i9502 Samsung S4.
Is there a way that a NON-Tech-sawy like me can accomplish the change of background from black to white or clear? Yes, I cannot do programming, but I am able to fully implement rooting procedures and I know basic Unix commands and terminal operations..
thanks

Is there a way to adjust the color temperature of the screen to a more natural white? I have tried the few screen modes in the settings but the Cinema one is still not very natural to me.
Is there an xposed framework mod or Rom that can do this?
Thanks.
I'm looking for it too. Tried some screen adjusters apps but the result wasn't really good as they just apply a filter layer above. I was used to my Note 2 color temperature wich is pretty higher than the 6500k reference resulting in a colder white. The Note 4 display in fact is more acurate, but I found it too warm for me. Whites seem a little pink to my taste. Wish I could raise the value, but I guess we must wait for a custom kernel with this capability.
One quick tip that might help.
Go into accessibility visual settings. Do the thing with the color adjustment and intentionally get them wrong. then move the slider almost all the way to the left.
You will no longer get to modify the adapt dispaly photo mode settings... but it will give a color temp somewhere in between.
you can alwyas set a triple click to shortcut to accessibility to disable it.
Oh thanks! Still not perfect but quite better this way. And without need of dirty kernel tricks.
I think the note 4 screen is too warm.
Is there any solution to make it cooler?

Just compare it to screen of Note 3, and you will not want it anymore :cyclops: It is much more warmer!
I'm one of those lucky people who gets chronic migraines. The primary trigger for me is bright light... especially looking at bright, white screens with black text. Consequently, I've spent quite a bit of time trying to invert screen color... which is fine unless you are looking at pictures or video.
I know that I can change my Note 4 settings to invert the colors, but that simply isn't practical. I've been able to get some of the modifications I need by swapping out applications. For instance, I use Chomp SMS and have found a great plug-in for firefox that inverts the color without inverting the images. I've also been able to make some system mods through Xposed using Wanam's module. But these are only bandaids. I'm really looking for something that will work system-wide, for light text and dark background.
My phone is a Sprint Galaxy Note 4 running Lollipop 5.1.1. Does anyone have any suggestions? Would upgrading to Marshmallow help? Or how about changing out the ROM?
If nothing that would work systemwide, does anyone have a suggestion for an email app that will invert the text color? The stock Samsung email app is really tough for me.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Try infamous rom or bobcat rom from N910T thread this roms is fully dark black themed with all built-in apps it will work on n910p but not sure LTE/WIFI CALLING will work on N910P.

I came from an S7 EDGE and I just got my OP5 and there's something I hate about my new phone. Every photos videos on YouTube, Reddit , internet in general looks washed out. The colors are good but when you pay attention, you can see the same artefacts you see on a highly compressed video/photo. In other words, the screen looks like it's not even a 8 bit color panel. Do you guys know a solution about this? I never saw this problem on any phone ( I'm a cellphone seller in Canada ), not even on my S7 EDGE, Alcatel IDOL 3, Nexus 5
Maybe it's because it's pentile or something
You might want to change the screen calibration method under settings / display and see if that helps at all.
Unfortunately the problem is still existent. Look at the uploaded screenshot with your phone The colors on the dialer supposed to be gradient but it's not. That my problem .

The dialer looks lighter at the top and darker at the bottom--are you saying there isn't enough transition between the two or that the colors in the screenshot are inaccurate? You might want to do a search for gradient android dialers (which should have screenshots) to verify the problem is with the phone rather than with the specific app you are using. All of the gradient screenshots I pulled up looked fine on my phone but the color changes were a lot more subtle than the one you provided. It's possible you have a bad display or that it's calibrated incorrectly for some reason. I've never noticed any problems with the colors on my OP5 and never read a complaint similar to yours.
You might want to make sure Night Mode or Reading Mode aren't on in settings because both would affect the colors.
Also make sure ambient display is off to verify that isn't doing anything screwy.
Have you rooted your phone or installed a custom kernel or anything like that? Do the colors look exactly the same when you boot into safe mode?
I see the banding in the dialer (the background where the dialpad is). Given that it's a screenshot though, that part is likely to be how OnePlus designed the dialer app (screen issues wouldn't show up in a screenshot).
