Screen mode is disabled - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

I play CoC and the color is much more saturated than it appears on my iPad. I want to try with Basic mode, but the screen mode is disabled. Please advise how to adjust it. Thanks.

[Q] Setting a wallpaper in portrait mode from gallery

I want to be able to set a picture in portrait mode as my wallpaper without it turning into landscape mode. I see there is an option that lets the wallpaper not move when I switch screens but even after doing that, the picture is still only able to be set as landscape. (It's a picture from my gallery) I want the full picture on the screen without having to move screens or anything
HELP PLEASEEE
Never mind, I found out how and for any of you having the same question as well, download the app "Wallpaper set and save"

[Q] What's your Screen/Brightness Setting?

just wondering what you guys recommend for
(1) Screen Mode
Adaptive Mode (I turned this off... doesn't seem to make a diff?)
Dynamic
Standard (currently set on this)
Professional Photo
Movie
wanted to try Pro Photo and Movie.. but both make the screen yellow.. and reds washed out
(2) Auto Adjust Screen Tone
just wondering if you guys keep this on or off?
(3) Auto Brightness?
do you guys use this or manual adjustments?
(4) Power Savings - Use low power level for screen
1. Dynamic : because i love bright & vivid colors
2. Turned off : to preserve the bright & vividness of colors
3. Turned off : whenever i need i just slide the brighness slider.
4. Turned on : for most activity. Turned off while gaming
Standard, off, off, off. Brightness slider is set to about 10%.
Lux auto brightness for brightness control and photo display settings for correct colour reproduction.

No, I refer to pro photo mode in screen mode. Please note that I have extensively used Andreilux Perseus kernel and I love the color correction as explained in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38497753&postcount=3
What I know from what I read from different posts and my own experience, the natural screen mode in Cyanogen mod and pro photo in new Samsung devices is very close to Perseus kernel improvements for correct color reproduction. I love "washed" colors
One more thing, the "reading mode" is very good too, since when you add up to 20 applications in this mode in the settings, it automatically reduces contrast when you run one of these apps. I use it especially for Dolphin browser to read papers etc. It turns back to normal when you close the app.
Last but not least; general brightness level of Note 3, especially under direct sun light, is much better than Note 2, but especially under low light I have to manually reduce the brightness not to disturb my eyes.
Regards.
I'm using the pro photo setting. For brightness settings I'm using the app Lux to fine tune autobrightness which has separate day and night profiles. The app can darken your screen below the 0% setting by applying a filter on the screen. Very useful for totally dark situations.

I've been trying out Reading Mode... but it is making the screen really dim though.
Do you have power-savings mode ON?
No, I only use the power saving mod when I have around 15% battery left and I do not experience any dimnes in normal use.

been using the Professional Photo mode. I must say I'm liking the colors much better
anyone tried out LUX?
hmm.. seems like Professional Photo mode.. causes a level of yellowing?
Adaptive at 50% Auto Brightness.
Unbelievable colours at an unbelievable power consumption rate, much better than my N2.

ASUS can do so much with their Splendid display tuning app!

The Blue Light Filter mode can replace 3rd party apps like cf.lumen, Twilight and Lux's night mode. It's a stock method of customizing the display color temperature.
ASUS should copy a leaf from cf.lumen's book and add the capability to automatically calculate sunset by your GPS coordinates and turn BLF mode on at night! Later at night they can add option to automatically change color temperature to more red tones (i.e. setting the BLF mode slider all the way to the right) like cf.lumen's sleep mode!
Thanks to Splendid display tuning, I no longer have cf.lumen installed. But! I do miss the convenience of automating things. Having the display tuner widget in quick settings is nice but no cigar!
Similarly when bright sunlight detected, the Splendid app could have option to turn vivid mode on.
Cyanogenmod12 and by extension CyanogenOS12 already has both these options (night mode and CABC for bright sunlight mode similar to vivid) available in their display options settings.
Perhaps these suggestions should be forwarded to Asus...as they seem to be set on providing timely updates to the phone(awesome), they might listen. I do like the Splendid app.
I agree. And now that we have this option: @Asus_USA
Maybe a rep here would forward the suggestion?

Timed profiles for Splendid would be great. A more effective colour temperature adjustment, coupled with a considerably lower minimum screen brightness on a hardware level would make this phone SO much more usable for late-night reading.

Screen mode is Basic, but when gaming is on...

My screen is on Basic mode, but when I play games, it turns into over saturated screen but when I exit the game it turns back to basic. Is there any option to disable the saturation effect?
Anyone knows?
I don't quite understand why the screen mode would change if you play games or is it just that you dont like the loud colours games sometimes have?
Use game tuner (app) and disable dim screen in the options or use package disabled and disable game service.

Changing Aspect Ratio in S7/S7 edge

Right now I'm using Nova Launcher because I need landscape mode in order to use MirrorLink in my car.
All is working well. However, I realised that there are 2 horizontal black bars at the top and bottom of the car screen. That's because of the aspect ratio. The car screen is 5:3 and S7 edge is 16:9. In order to reach 5:3, I need to change the default 2560x1440 resolution of my S7 edge to 2400x1440.
I'm using Easy DPI Changer (ROOT) to achieve that. In portrait mode there's no issues, screen resizes well and calibration it's fine. BUUUUT... When rotating the S7 edge to get landscape mode, it just reboots. Always, no matter the launcher. It's something coming from Android 7? Maybe TouchWiz?
The app is working amazing with a Sony XPERIA Z3 with Android 6.0.1. But it's not my daily smartphone so I need this to work with my S7 edge so bad.
Any help will be appreciated.
(Sorry if my English is bad)
Try to set dpi with that app while you are on landscape mode. This may fix reboot but don't know about potrait mode issues

not working.
"Easy DPI changer" it's in portrait mode only, although I put my S7 edge in landscape, the app launches in portrait and when changing to 2400x1400 and going to home screen, screen tries to turn to landscape and it crashes like before.
Seems like TouchWiz or Android 7 doesn't support other resolutions in landscape mode than 16:9 (1280x720, 1920x1080, 2560x1440)???? :S
It must be samsung systemui, the other apps are made to scale at any resolution
