I've had alot of different roms over the past few weeks and not a single problem.. CM 7.1, Batista, etc etc.. but now after trying to flash a stock rom since I wanted to go back to normal, anything I flash from now on get's the whole phone into 256 color mode or something. It's really annoying as everything is just plain ugly, even the background/icons all over.
What could one do to fix this you think ?
Searched a while but didn't find anything about it, not even google.
Can probably add what I've tried so far..
Flashing Siyah Kernel - No success
Wiping cache/factory/data etc etc.... - No success
Flashing random roms to try and see if it works when wiped and new rom.. - No success..
Take a picture of it please.
On my way home now. Will take a pix at once I'm home.

You can see it mostly on dark surfaces, and on "transitions".. even on camera pics. Just seems to be a weird contrast or something like that, everything is like more grey then usual aswell, even the battery picture when charger is connected and you have it turned off.
Have you tried connecting with Kies for a firmware update?
I had the same problem as you I think, cant really tell from the picture but once I updated with kies and rebooted all was fine again.
Fixed it by flashing a couple of kernals and stock roms from the original roms thread by Intratech.
YAY! =)
And after a simple reboot it's back. Hmm.

Uninstall Kies, and delete the samsung folders in appdata/local and appdata/roaming in your user directory.
Reboot and install again.
I assume you use windows 7 or vista. Not sure about XP, been a while since I used it.
I have exactly the same problem on my galaxy s2.
It happened to me after I installed batista70's ROM on my phone..
Whatever I do now, I tried 4 different stock roms, there's still heavy color banding and it looks like the display has got a lower resolution...
For example in the microbes live wallpaper the microbes are bigger and the black background has got some grey tones that do not blend in very well but are like banded.
Maybe you installed chainfire3d and ticked reduce texture quality..

It happened after installing stockrom+kernel, so no.
Did anyone find a solution for this?
It seems I have the same problem and it won't go away, no matter what I flash.
Seems like it's related to Samsung's mDNIe image processing engine.
I flashed cyanogenmod and fiddled around with the mDNIe settings, a few reboots and it seems to be fixed!
Weird that these settings seem to be carried across between roms, including full factory resets, wipe everything in recovery and flashing factory roms. I wonder where they hide to avoid getting reset??
Same for me after flashing founded on internet stock Orange rom GT-I9100_IDE_I9100BVKE2_I9100BVKE2_I9100IDEKE2. After that I had MIUI ics, and now Vanila rom, but this ****ty colours remained.
Voodoo Screen Tuning app is some sort of solution, but settings are not saved in the system and after reboot they are lost. (for me native SM2 A2 line looks like originals colors)
I say poop! Seriously, it happened to me too and did exactly what you guys did with the stock rom. I guess I will fiddle around with the CM too. Do you remember which settings you changed?
Yesterday I flashed official rom DXKL3 from here and colours finally are fixed.
Same problem after screen replacement.
Fixed by flashing stock DXKL3 as stated above.

Oh my goodness, a new thread, I hate doing this but I haven't had any luck...
So here's the deal, my Streak's camera only shows greyscale on the screen while I am taking pictures or shooting video....
Once taken, the color is there in the photo or pic in the gallery or whatever app I open to view the photo or watch the video.
Honestly I have no idea when this could've started because since the Streak's camera is not the best in the world, I don't use it much, but I do occasionally use it to recognize a business or scan a document to send it to someone or something else to that effect.
What I have done lately to the phone is flashed the 354 baseband and dsp1 files to the phone. So logically I tried to flash to where I was before that, the 351 files, and had no luck with that, so I went back to the 354 files.
I have tried to look for some setting that I may have left in black and white or greyscale but haven't found anything that I may have done to cause this, doesn't mean it's not my fault, but I could definitely do with some ideas.
Thanks guys for any suggestions.
Worst case scenario I'd do a fresh flash of StreakDroid....oops, forgot to mention I was running StreakDroid 1.9
I would try to get the camera.apk file from 1.9.0 (unzip the zip, then system, then app, then camera.apk (I think)) and try installing that after uninstalling your camera app. If that doesn't work then it's a little far out to fix. You can always try a factory reset and reflash if that doesn't work.

Well I tried got rid of the camera apk with Root Explorer but then it wouldn't let me reinstall it.
Well then I try to adb push the app but then got uid errors so I said the heck with it and did a fresh flash of StreakDroid

Did this fix the problem?
I just noticed this for the first time, myself. I did a factory reset/re-flash of 1.9.0 a few days ago, and I suspect that's when this started.

Yeah, I dunno what I may have done to prompt the behavior, I'm sure I made some adjustment or installed something that affected it.
So I just started from scratch and flashed StreakDroid anew....
Each time I flash I do somethin in the order of things different and each time it gets smoother and smoother

I ran into this problem as well as another person. They discovered that it was LBE. Once I uninstalled LBE, the color issues were fine.
Did you have LBE installed?

Well I don't have the problem now that I flashed StreakDroid again but I sure wanna know what LBE is... forgive me for being dense but for the life of me I can't make out what that stands for sgood
Not sure what it stands for but its an app I found on xda and does permissions based blocking of apps. Kind of like iptables
Some people were having the same issue at streak.modaco.com and some found LBE Privacy Guard to be the issue and one person said Chainfire3D may be an issue.
In the SimpleStreak rom thread some users were attributing this to having stagefright installed. I do not use stagefright and have no idea what it is, just passing on the observation.

vThanks
Thankyou,
I found that a reboot fixed the problem but i also have chainfire 3D installed so I was wondering if that caused the problem as I dont use the camera very often
Hey, i have a similar issue and dont have either of those apps installed. I can across the thread below first and posted my question here:
[Q] camera and video playback in black and white.
I am a noob. Both threads appear to discuss the same issue. Should i post to this thread?
Hey guys,
I didn't know where to post this, so here it goes.
I'm having some trouble. I'm running CM nightly #115. I flashed the Google Apps package from here (the one for CyanogenMod 7). Now sometimes when I'm in the Android Market app, not only does it FC, but it freezes my phone so I have to reboot it.
Scrolling through the app details is what causes the freezes
I've tried CM 7.1 stable, several nightlies and MIUI, but it keeps happening!
I also tried cleaning cache, data and uninstalling updates, for the Market app. Nothing works!
Can you please help me?

Yes, tried that. Didn't work.
thought it was only me and that my phone was a lemon but i simply left all cm an miui aside after about a year of loyalty and went back to an asop rom (crysis 2.0) and it really not that bad going back.. i mean its not miui as far as customization and smoothness but its mad stable with absolutely no issues at all and i cant see myself going back to having "a perfect rom except ..... "..
Happens to me the same. I'm using NDT MIUI v10 and from what i noticed it happens only when i'm charging it from the USB port and at the same time browsing the market (just market).
Browsing the market without charging presents no issues. From what i've read around it has something to do with static electricity (might be wrong though) because i am not using the stock usb cable, but a Nokia one.
I've tested with various kernels, nothing seems to fix it. So far i got used not to use the market while the phone is plugged in.
If anyone has any explanation or even better, a fix, i'm interested in it.

Same problem here. Phone totally freezes when downloading and installing something from market while is plugged in. I have original usb cable and charger. It happens either when plugged to the laptop or to the wall charger.
Now running miui 1.2.16. previously I was running GalnetMIUI and with the last update this issue started going on randomly using market app. never happened before with cm7. I didn't try wiping data cuz I'm waiting to do so for the ics miui v4.
The weird thing is that it doesn't matter if the phone is charging or not.
Scrolling through the app details is what causes the freezes (this screen).
This must be a flaw with the Market app
I made a thread here:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/39058-market-freezes-phone/
It looks like I'm not the only one experiencing this.
same here..on cm7..
no problem with old market..it looks like market 3.4.4 not liking cm7 based roms
back to stock rom for now..
The same problem here.flashed many kernel to get fix, and relashing rom,even up and downgrade miui, changing themes,but nothing help. I'll freeze on market when scrolling down.

I also tried 3.1.2.
It didn't happen immediately, but after I scrolled in app details in several apps, it finally happened. The bug is there, but not as effective.
Flash another older version.. till bugs gone. I also flashed another kernel.. i dont know if flashing another kernel would help,but it work for me, the bugs bunny is in the market waiting to freeze me when im on siyah 2.6, i flashed fluxi kernel, still the same, then flashed excell69 kernel.. seems like the bugs bunny has return back to disneyland. Im happy now.
But this is just for temporary, coz today there will be another version of miui will release, to flash new rom and hope this bunny will not appear again.
Ill post it here for you if anything happen.

Hello,
since a few days my Xperia S acts really weird. For example when typing right now it will freeze from time to time and i will have to wait 5 seconds to type.. Or when going back from an app to the Homescreen it will sometimes vibrate twice and open the taskmanager.. I already tried a factory reset but that doesnt help.. Any suggestions?
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
I have never seen this issue before, but i'm thinking in the lines of some kind of app that is using your cpu for the full 100% or so.
Does it perhaps occur after you have installed a specific app?
I'm not sure about this at all, but i'm just trying to eliminate all possibilities.
Ive installed 2 apps after the factory reset, XDA app and whatsapp.. :/
Those apps shouldn't really give any issues.
Are you running the stock GB/ICS firmware and a stock kernel as well?
yeah everything's on stock. nothing modifyed.
I think what you could try is to flash a stock GB/ICS firmware through the flashtool with a full data wipe and all that.
Perhaps it's useful to format the storage memory of your phone too, just to be sure.
Again, i'm not sure if any of this will work but it's worth a try.
If this doesn't help, i think it's best for you to return the handset to the shop.
Hi there,
SOLVED THE ISSUE MYSELF. SORRY FOR BOTHERING YOU GUYS.
----EDIT:
IGNORE THIS, I JUST FIXED MY ISSUE. THANKS FOR LOOKING HERE ANYWAY.
I'm using a stock Touchwiz 4.1.1 rooted Samsung s3 international version. I flashed a few mods from the Omega kitchen rom (camera and a phone mod). The replacement camera broke the stock camera app and the phone mod broke my contacts app.
The issue wasn't that bad as the contacts app could still be used, the only issue was that the app would crash if I tried to make additional edits to existing contacts. The camera app was totally broken, but that wasn't that bad either as I could use alternative and better camera apps. Nonetheless, still annoying so I endeavored for an easy fix.
Some folks on XDA forums advised I do a re-flash of the same rom without the wipe. I did this with odin, but the result was odin has stopped progressing 2/3rds of the way in. I am just stuck on the "downloading do not turn off target" screen. It's been hovering at this point for the past 20 minutes. The phone is still plugged in this very moment.
What should I do? I haven't tinkered with this phone a whole lot. It's mainly stock, with only few alterations. I've used Odin three times before, once to flash the new stock 4.1.1 and another time to fix a sift brick caused by installing the "Beats by Dre" audio drivers. Both to smooth success.
But now when the issue seemed less than ever before, it's stuck in odin, not progressing at all. I'm worried and have come here for your professional wisdom!
Thanks in advance.
A tad worried. Hope everything is going to be okay. >_<
Thanks in advance.
Hey OP,
Can you please post what you did, in the case that is this happens what do we do?
did you brick?
Sent from my GT-I9300
Alright so there was no issue apart from I tried to flash the phone mod and camera mod from omega jb kitchen (you get it from the playstore). This broke my. Camera and contacts app respectively and I couldn't get them back even after replacing them back with stock apks.
So I re flashed my existing rom with the same with odin but it stopped halfway - and sat there without doing anything.
The solution? Use a different USB cable and don't use the computer too much while you're doing the flash it may interrupt it. After re flashing everything was fine.

Hello good peepz of XDA.
I got the Omega v33.2 ROM installed and noticed that the personalized ringtones I got for different contacts gets restored to the default ringtone.
First I thought it was on reboot, but I tried a few reboots but that wasn't it.
Anyone else got this?
Edit: Personalized alarm tone also gets restored to default when the ring tones changes. I'm trying to figure out when it happens..
I'm running the same rom and haven't came across that problem. Are they resetting every time you reset your phone?
Sent From My Omega'd Galaxy S3 ...
It's resetting the alarm/ringtone randomly. I haven't yet figured out under what circumstanses it' doing it. But under every day use for sure.

Goodie-good! Will try =)
Now on Omega 33.3 and the problem persists..
The personalized ringtones survived the upgrade from 33.2-33.3. But after installing Rolles youtube mod (in CWM) the alarm/ringtones jumped back to default again.
I wasn't sure that was the reason, so I tested entering CWM and rebooting, no problem.
So I tested entering CWM and installed Samsungs original boot animation, no problem.
So I tested entering CWM and installed S Note (the one ported from Galaxy Note II, no problem.
Since none restored tones to default I went back to CWM and reinstalled Rolle Tube, now no problem, the tones still there.
I guess I need to be on them settings like a stalker to see when they reset..
I've been trying different scenarios, but it's not consistent..
It sometimes resets the custom sounds when I either reboot or power down/up the device. That's what I can come up with.
I'm at v34 now and the resets has apparently stopped.
Soo, I guess everything sorted itself out
