Hi guys,
I gotta say I enjoy pretty much everything from the LP update and it feels like a new phone to me. However, the first thing I noticed is that the color saturation is somewhat lower than it used to be with Kitkat. Initially I thought it's the Lollipop theme which appears to be brighter but when I start using the exact same apps I realized that the colors are less punchy now. It's may not be that significant for other people but I very much love the screen calibration from KitKat. It was a perfect screen with amoled's punchy color and ips's great white balance.
Is this just me or did they indeed change the screen settings with LP rom?If they did change the settings, is there a way to extract the screen profile from Kitkat and apply it to Lollipop? (like a kernel file or XML)
Thanks in advance.

Now that's I'm rooted and running a custom kernel I am hoping somebody includes a dimmer screen setting, specifically because I still feel the lowest current setting is too bright when reading it night. I know past rooted devices I've owned have had this feature and it worked well. Thanks!
There is an app called Screen Filter which puts an adjustable shade over the screen to reduce brightness. IMO the whites on the samsung are alittle too white for my taste even at the lowest brightness setting. I use Screen Filter every time I read PDFs. You will love it, its free also.

Thanks. Looks like a good app so far. The dev claims that it will affect battery life but I noticed the soft keys stay the sam brightness which tells me the screen brightness isn't actually being changed. Hopefully something will be baked in to a future ROM.

It will only increase battery life for tablets and phones with AMOLED screens. The tab 10 has an LCD screen so battery life will remain the same.
I second that Screen Filter app. I use it on my DroidX and now the GT10.1. The fact that you can setup a widget for a specific brightness then tab the widget again to go back to the prior setting.
Bump. Any devs working on this for a rom feature?
1. Is there currently any custom ROM or app that can tweak the color saturation system-wide? Back when I had a Captivate, most of the AOSP roms had voodoo color that allowed you to tweak color temp, saturation, and RGB values of the AMOLED screen, because it really needed it. The oob saturation of the N7 screen seems like it could use a boost when held next to my One X. I've already applied the PRISM patch but it's not washout that I have a problem with, it is system-wide saturation.
2. Is there a way, probably with a custom ROM, to get the nav bar (I think that's the name, home, back, recents bar) to stay on one side in landscape mode instead of taking up precious vertical screen real estate at the bottom of the screen?
Thanks in advance, and sorry if these have already been answered. It's tough to search in the XDA app.

Hey People, i was wondering what all of us are using as screen settings and why.
For me srgb looks certainly more accurate but White are yelloish, they look better on Google's calibration settings but then colors are too saturated... So for now i still haven't made my choice. How about you? What do you use?
Well I'm running DU ROM which comes with a custom kernel. To me, stock colors don't pop enough. I left the RGB values alone and simply bumped my saturation to 35. Display looks great at this setting for me. I've tried a hundred different display settings and for me this one looks the best. I use kernel adiutor to adjust my display settings
Thanks mate, still haven't made up my mind as to routine n6p should i need assistance for it.... Take YouTube screens for instance, that red punches Soo much to me
Running custom kernel and I use the same profiles that I used on my N6 to get 6500k.
I'm using screen adjuster +8 on blue
Gives better whites... Anyone tried color screen filter from play store? Might give some more options I think
I use 100% stock screen settings. I like the way Amoled looks. SRGB looks washed out and boring, even if I compare it with my Nexus 5 (2013) screen.
Hey guys, as you may have noticed, Zenfone 2 (or at least the ZE551ML) has a warm-ish tint on it's screen colors. On CM13, I think I might've found the settings to get as close to pure white as possible. Here are my current settings:
[CM13 4/22 Nightly]
RED - 92%
GREEN - 89%
BLUE - 100%
If you have a different setting and feel that it's a lot closer to pure white, please share it with us!
Stock rom or stock-based rom users should be able to adjust the screen color as well via Splendid app. I'm not sure though how to get into detail about that since it's only a single color slider unlike CM13's RGB settings.
I just set the color temperature on splendid to minimum. it's not a perfect white, but it's better than 95% of the other phones I compared to

Yeah, I remember doing that as well on splendid. I believe that it gives a more cooler color temperature. I tried to compare that to an iPhone 5s and Zenfone 5, about 2-3 steps higher from your settings might do the trick.
I finally gave up my on my Note 3 as it had a locked bootloader. I was limited to 5.1 Lollipop and had to make a change. I love everything about this phone except for I not having an Amoled screen.
I'm running Dirty Unicorns 11.2 Rom and its fantastic. Is there a here a way to tweak the IPS display to the have more vibrant colors like the Amoled?

Well... I don't know about custom ROMs based on AOSP but I know the stock ROM has a setting that allows for more vibrant colors to mimic AMOLED saturation. It is under Settings/Display/Color mode. You can choose between "Normal" or"Vibrant".

Very possible.
I believe Ground Zero ROMs (Tesla, Tipsy) have a custom kernel that'll let you change the saturation using Kernel Adiutor.
I'm not sure about other ROMs, though.
You beat me to it!

/\ This. Devices with Led screens have an unnatural color saturation applied by default in order to perpetuate the myth of Oled's "vibrance." If for some reason you can actually stomach this effect, Motorola leaves an option for that right in the stock Rom.
