Hi people!
I was just wondering: If my homescreen is black, would I save more battery than if my homescreen was colorful?
A silly question.

I do not think that applies to LCD screens, as I read that it blocks the pixel to form black.

based on those, looks like using black is same as white or even more power hungry than white.
Howeever on LED is opposite of course.

Yup AMOLED does... The screen doesnt uses the screen lid (Thats mean is totally black filling not greyish)... So 50-80% battery is save!

its a modded version of touchwiz 4.5 with a whole bunch of tweaks the problem with it is that the page indicator is in the middle of the screen instead of at the bottom wondering if any could get this working?
heres the link

This already works, and the page indicator is supposed to be in the middle. I used it for a while, but not being able to use custom icons got to me..
But its not aligned correctly for the bigger aspect ratio.

Whenever I view a plain black picture(In a dark room), I notice some black patches on my screen. Theu are black like the glass paint of the screen. The black ones are scattered across the screen. Is that normal? I can see the black patches when ai'm in a dark room and view a pure black image.
Thanks.
Yeah it's normal for our displays. You can search, and there's a lot of threads discussing this

How do I set my wallpaper in ICS to just be a color? A color that I want to make? I really like dark blue, so I want to make my wallpaper just a really dark blue. Everything else just shows pictures.
Download the app "colors" from the market and you can pick a preset color or choose your very own

Thanks! That worked perfect. Made a nice VERY dark blue for my wallpaper. Some times I just like a plain, clear background that's all. I'm not sure why the PRO version is over a dollar, if it was I would have supported.
Welcome dude. Yeah same here, pure black is awesome on amoled screens ! Super dark plus battery saver = win!

The Transformer has a Super IPS+ screen not an AMOLED. Therefore, black won't save power.
Woops wasn't aware of that, I have a nexus s I should've probably said that before

Look closer before you laugh Its the TOP of the wallpaper that goes dark, or better to say
it's the top of the screen that goes black. If you change to the same wallpaper it will look
normal again for a few hours, but then graduatly getting darker. Has nothing to do with the
weather conditions, time of day, display settings or screen mode..
I have exactly problem the same and didn't find a reason..

Android 4.2.1
Omega v44.3
