Just curious is this. possible to change or fix? I just came from using a nexus s and flashed the matrix kernel making my screen have more contrast and look less washed out , so my request or question is can u change the screen settings on the photon by flashing a kernel and give it more contrast?

Maybe when the devs have the chance to dug into it. Our after market kernels right now are in their infancy.
Edit: btw this thread will probably be moved ti general. The developers do check those threads too. But the dev threads are generally specific to mods that someone has made.

O OK I see yea the photon doesn't have as much supposrt be nice to see the things devs come out with tho and yea that's fine don't care where it's moved just figured I'd get my thought and there and see if there's anyone wondering what I am thanx for the response man

i doubt it, the reason why it worked on the nexus s was because of the led nature, this is lcd so all you can control is the brightness of teh backlight. wheres on the amoled/samoled screens you can control each pixel

What about the black crush issue? Would that fixable via software?
I thought our screens were led...

as far as i knew we are using a SLCD with the pentile matrix display
There has to be a way to modify this color. Can't accept this as it is.

Would it be possible to incorporate a port of voodoo color mod into one of our current custom kernels?

Voodoo is for amoled screens only. We don't have the levels of adjustment that amoleds have available.

My screen is so contrasty I can't believe you feel it is washed out.
And it is so much brighter than my nexus...
My screen does look washed out. Compared to my epic 4g. Lol. The color looks saturated...and..uhh washed out
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
I agree with ronnienyc it does have a lot of contrast but it is also a little less color than my nexus s. I think we could lower the contrast tho its a qhd screen and every screen must have an option to change hue contrast and sharpness right?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
What I don't like about the nexus and epic screens is that they are over saturated and skin tones look red or orange.
Any new news? this really has to be fixed.. cant even enjoy pics in your gallery they look so weird.

OK guys just got my vibrant, yay. But everything has a blue tint to it. Even things that I know are white have a blue tint. Anyone else have the effect and can I stop it. Thanks.

Honestly i dont notice the blue tint. Maybe its because Im parrially colorblind lol.

Even the home page to Google has a little blue in it. I'm going to compare this phone to a phone in a tmo tomorrow.

It's a product of the amoled technology. The blue in the pixels wears out at a much faster rate than the others so they add extra blue as a way to counter act that. It should go away with time.

I'm a new Thunderbolt owner coming from the Evo, and it seems as though the colors on the TB are less vibrant than my Evo. The whites seem as though they are muted a bit or have a purple-ish gray tone to them. Anyone else notice this?
Thx

Your screen is either messed up, or you aren't seeing things clearly. If your TB looks worse than your EVO I would take it back and request a new one.
Right on, thanks...
Is it possible that it's not one of the Samsung screens, I have heard the new ones HTC has are not as bright?
I will take it to the store tomorrow if anything, for piece of mind..

Maybe you're just looking for things that are wrong with it? I don't know. I came from a droid so it's a big improvement for me.
The thunderbolts screen uses warm color settings.

Thanks! That helps... I'm not looking for anything wrong with it at all, I just want to be sure that I don't have a defective one, because while in the store the rep had a hell of a time getting the sim card to take and give me 3G.
Also, I wanted to make sure it was good before I root it...

Samsung are S-AMOLED, which is LED and is brighter and more vibrant than LCD.
You sure it's not just the auto brightness dimming the screen?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Or if you have one of those anti fingerprint screen protectors it will greatly diminish screen quality and brightness
The Tbolt doesn't have SLCD

I am wondering if there is a way to remove the blueish tint that the screen has. The Nexus S 4g had an issue with screen tint and someone devised a tool (voodoo) to alter the gamma, but I think the tool was tied into that particular kernel.
Thanks.

So I guess no one knows then?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Source was just released so assuming devs are playing around with it id expect to see kernels soon. Once a kernel is cooked up i would imagine one awesome soul would attempt to make a "voodoo" like tool that plays well with pentile displays....
Hello People,
So I just took a picture of the room I'm in and in the first shot I got this.
Came out nice right? I decided the picture was a little tilet so I took another shot, without changing a single setting and got this:
Why is the first one so nice and rich but the second one is all washed out?? I can't for the life of me get the camera to take another picture that looks like the first one. Does anyone have any ideas what's going on here and how I can replicate the initial results?
That's the white balance setting kicking in. The first time it thought you were outside so it changed the white balance for daylight. The second time it realized you were inside so it adjusted it for incandescent lighting. I've only noticed it switch between those two, so if you want a better picture select it yourself.
Go to menu>white balance>and change 'auto' to the best setting for whatever room you are in.
Ha thanks! THat was it! Although, leaving it on auto gives the washed out picture. Changing it to "daylight" while inside gives the nice deep color
That "rich" color you are referring to is totally off and looks horrible! The second one is correct, notice that the whites are actually white??? The Daylight setting is overcompensating a yellow filter to correct the blue cast that would be there if you were outside in the sun like the setting indicates...
I have to agree with jsls

To get the results it seems that you want just use a sepia filter and it will give it that warm look. If you want a "correct" picture the second one is the way to go however. If you like the look then go with it.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Yeah I think you might be a little color blind, because the second pic looks so much better. The color actually stand out. The whites are white not yellow like the first pic. And look at the computer screen, the colors look good.
I like the first one cause it looks like it was taken back in 1912 and sat on the old print out paper in my grandma's closet till this morning.
Dude really?
Let me clarify if you have a light source in shot the auto adjustment will kick in.

Put them side by side and you'll see that while the iPhone wins for resolution and clarity, the SGS2 far exceeds it with contrast and colors.
Tottaly agree... I don't see the point in replacing the screen anyway what do you need that high of a resolution for anyway?

Should have waited for the nexus or went with LG's 720p res phone. Also i work with a lot of iphone fanboys and not one yet has said they like their screen over mine
Screen Adjuster app lets you change red green blue plus contrast and brightness. I use it and it works well.
I use LCD Resolution app. Tw launcher isn't compatible but launcher pro and go launcher works great!

Samsung phones are highly proprietary and don't respond well to changes. Even using a non OEM battery can cause problems in some cases. What don't you like about the display? I think its pretty nice.
