[Q] Issue - Yellowish color screen after flashing arymod 4.0 and Flex_Lollipop Rev2.1

Yellowish color screen after flashing arymod 4.0 or Flex_Lollipop Rev2.1, also tried 3 different kernels: LP_Xplorer_Rev1.7, darkqueen latest and perseo matergold. Still can´t get rid of this yellowish tint when the screen gets dimmer.

A photo would be good, I guess?
So you have only two options, either flash Stock ROM and have the display as it was, or you can use the app Screen Adjuster and turn up the Blue channel to neutralize the Yellowish effect. Remember, with that app you will just be masking the tint, not get rid of it, well not fundamentally.

Thanks for the help, I've also tried that app but the problem is if I neutralize at lower dim when brightness goes up the colors are messed up again. I´ll post screenshot.
I was going to post screenshot but it doesn´t show the problem and I don't have a secundary camera to take a photo.
xinfinityoO said to try and use synapse "Tip for the people with yellowish color hue
Go to synapse / screen and enable mdnie control , there you change the "Digital edge enhancement", try every sharpness value."
But color still messed up

Oh okay. Then you will have to ditch either the ROM or the kernel, I can't be sure which one is causing that (or maybe this is intentional), look for which one says stuffs about display tweaking, should be mentioned under the details of either the ROM or the kernel.
And screenshot won't capture that actually, a photo is needed, from a camera. Screenshots from all the Note 3 of the world will look all same.

I thought there was way to upload a synapse profile or something that could neutralize this. Everything works like a charm and at high brightness there is no yellowish issue only when it's dimmer.

Oh Synapse, no idea mate, have stopped using that buggy piece of software a long time ago (no offence).

It was actually my first time using it and only to try and solve this issue but did find it quite unstable.

Night mode in 7.1.1

Hey everybody,
unfortunately I can't use night mode since the latest update. I know it's a 7.1.1 thing and Google has deactivated this function, but has anyone managed to get it working again? I really miss this feature but downgrading is not an option and apps like twilight can't provide the same functionality.
Best regards

you can always change white balance, it's been there since day 1 !

Thanks :good: That's a good advice! Not as convinient as an automatic function, but still.
For everyone who got the same problem: RGB 255,100,0 is pretty good.

True! But it works with Netflix.
I use 255,110,0 because it's not so reddish.

If you have root, I use cf.lumen
Twilight and other screen filter overlays cannot compare (for me) to real cf.lumen/night mode, the color is just not the same. (the blacks!!)
Thanks for the white balance tip though.

I also use CF.Lumen. Amazing, and way better (and customizable) than built-in night mode. You can set Daylight, Twilight, and Night color modes (I use normal color, 2200K, and Red-only for mine), and you can switch between them based on time, ambient light, or both.
What Android night mode needs to do, is actually switch to a night/dark/black theme during night mode. I understand some developer releases of MM and N sometimes did this, but I don't think it carried over to any release version. If I'm wrong, then I'm jelly

I agree, and talking about themes... is it possible to change the system ui from light to dark?
I looked at the black theme the phone comes with, but (for example) the system settings page is still light.

You have to follow a few steps though (no root required):

Sorry about that. I am not sure how Lightflow and Magisk work (or don't work together). There is another app similar to light flow called Light Manager. I haven't used that one. It may or may not work for you. I have heard that others like it.

I've used lightflow and light manager and they both work. I personally like the way lightflow app is set up but that's just me lol.

Hey
Tryied the aplications Lightflow and Light Manager..
Good aplications but it's for changing led beside speaker...
I want to change the color notification from the led around the screen .. you guys dont have it ? o.o
An idea of what I'm talking... Led/Light Notifications
I don't believe we can't edit this led. Maybe a change of code in the rom or a mod..
we have option to deactivate this led in the rom options, soo perhaps we can access to is code to modify either.
when receiving any notification I realized when the phone screen is upside up the led appears to be thiny, and If you turn screen upside down the led light become more larger and change the color to green.
Ideas:
- Changing led notification colors.
- Changing the time of led stays on.
- Changing light effects (Breathing, Fading, Marquee, Pulse, Spectrum wave, Alternating)
- Change intensity.
Is this possible? Or some of this ideas now or in the future ?

I think that what you are talking about is edge lighting. That is a feature specific to the S8 line (I think). It is actually the screen lighting up, not an LED. I am able to get mine to light, but it is always blue. I haven't been able to change the color, duration, or pattern, but I haven't put much effort into it.
Look up Edge Lighting for the Galaxy S8 and maybe you will find some pointers on how to modify the behavior of the edge lighting. On my version of the phone there is a setting for Edge Display, but it only has a few options of when the lighting is used. No color, duration, or pattern options.

Yes, thats right...
But I don't think the light come from the screen.
Try to put phone with screen down and make a call for your phone with another phone.. When start blinking, put screen up and see the color "blue" changing to "green".
The light frame when the phone is upside down is more stronger, and when receive notifications with screen up is tiny.
I believe that is the maximus frame of the "led".

Yeah your thinking about edge light. That comes from the screen (only the edge it lit). There's no way to customize it (that I know of)

Orange Hue on Screen Recordings - with all Apps - Help?

I came across a weird issue: No matter what App I'm trying, all screen recordings have an orange hue. I've tested with DU Recorder, AZ Screen Recorder and Game Screen Recorder. The results I'm getting are all like this (recorded the play store - you know, that should be white and green):
https://streamable.com/2spod
Is there a solution for this issue?
Is there an app that does not record with an orange hue on the Axon 7?
(Apart from that, even when recording in fixed portrait mode, the videos always end up being horizontal. I'm looking for a solution for that as well.)
EDIT: The issue was not the color settings of the screen in "Screen effect" as I was assuming. Turns out the "Night Light" setting (set on always on) was the culprit.
I hope this info helps others running into the same issue.

When you're not recording can you see the orange hue? If yes, then it might be LiveDisplay or some other screen filtering app that reduces blue color. If not then I'm not sure.

No, I can't see the orange hue when not recording - but I found the solution. See original post.

What ROM are you on? It's odd as Night Light should be adjusting the colour of the display rather than the system interface. At least you could turn it off and use a third party custom kernel KCAL based colour mod like CF.lumen, Lux Auto Brightness or F.lux to name a few.

I'm on standard "ZTA A2017GV1.2.0B10".
Well, it's also odd that the recordings were a lot more orange than what to me still looked pretty white on the original screen. Anyways... I just turn it off before recording now and back on afterwards.
Thanks for the list of alternatives though - it might come in handy in the future with other ROMs or phones.

maybe a bug on stock. Perhaps doubly orange as you recorded the orange and played it back with another layer of orange on top. Actually CF.lumen and F.lux don't require kernel KCAL but can rely on root as an alternative effect.

No - I even moved the file to the PC and it was the same intensity there, too... though it would have made sense considering it was recorded in the first place.
I'm not planning to root the device - as long as there's hope for an update from ZTE (which hopefully will come soon).

Notification panel turns black on its own.

My notification panel turns black on its own. Then it stays black for some time and then return to its original white color. Although it is not much of a concern to me, but i would like to know whether this is normal, and what causes the color of the notification panel to change?

Yup .. Noticed that too. My notification panel turns dark when I put dark wallpaper, and when I change to light wallpaper, itu turns white .

Thanks for the reply. I tried it and it is as you said. Never thought of that. I mostly use dark wallpaper so never noticed that. Now i wonder whether this happens with other phones or it is just limited to this phone. Overall, i think it is a great feature.

Material dark theme cannot be implemented system-wide without root changes / third party app. This is default optimization by Google for Android (not their best work for sure), will probably be corrected in Pie.
