If you go to the link below, you'll see owners of the I9100 have the option to change their saturation levels in Settings > Display > Screen mode. Why don't we have it and can we get it? I want to change the saturation levels of my screen and would like to have the option like I9100 owners.

It's disabled in Settings, it's one line of smali to reenable. Serendipity 8 has it, I think Unnamed has it now, most Hellraised ROMs should have it.
Yep, Unnamed and Cognition both have the setting
Cool thanks guys. I'm downloading UnNamed right now.

Hey Guys!
I've been trying to find a way to keep the softkey light on S2 on MIUI turned off (COMPLETELY, not auto brightness values for button to 0) but there really isn't a way...
I've noticed in CM7 there is a Galaxy SII settings app that can be found independently in Titanium Backup. That app has the option to turn off the softkey backlight completely.
Do you think it's possible to drag that app from CM7 and Install it on MIUI to turn off the keylight? Considering from what I've read MIUI is based partly on CM right?
Go to display setting. Turn on auto brightness and beneath it will be advanced settings or something. Then there should be automatic backlight tab or Light Levels. Click on Edit Other levels.. Underneath button, make the value(should be 225 or 250) go to 0. You're good to go. You can turn off auto brightness then.
Pretty sure the OP said "COMPLETELY, not auto brightness values for button to 0"...Wait...He did
OP - there are various scripts around the place which claim to achieve this. I also use Miui & setting the auto brightness to zero used to work. This stopped working early in the the new year so something has obviously changed in Miui's builds.
I can't vouch for the usefulness of these scripts as I've learned to live with this issue, and I don't have a link for same. Try a Google search & append XDA to your search terms. This should yield something for you.
Edit to add - With regard to pulling over an app from CM7, obviously Miui is CM based so it might work. I guess you can only try it & find out. Can't see how it could do any harm given it's only an app.
@Mistah Thanks loads dude, I've tried some of the scripts from some of the searches I did and nothing seems to work you're right.
I'll give it a shot and see how it goes, but I don't think if i get the APK out i can just install it normally right? I'd have to put it in system>app then do a reboot for it to go in nicely?
I'll test it and report it back here tmrw thanks!
No worries
Yeah I'm not surprised the scripts don't work. Yeah give it a try, put it in /system/app & also might wanna mount /system rw before you install it (if you need to, use an app like Remount to do this). Yeah do a reboot after you've installed it & cross your fingers.
Will be awaiting your report with baited breath

Pm-ed! Thanks!
Replied. Doesn't work & I doubt it will.
I wrote a script which works for me on all kernels with init.d support, here's a link:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27703769/Permanently Disable Softkey Backlight.zip
If the flashable zip doesnt work just copy the script and set correct permissions (755). Please report back, because I haven't used the script for a while now...
BLN doesn't work on the script, though. I have located the file which contains the value for the backlight and changed its permissions, this disables the phone to change this value and thus keeping it off. This file is on a different location on almost every phone, so most scripts work on only one particular device.

Hey Joop!
Tested the zip and it flashed but it just seems to force the softkey light on. Doesn't go off at all after that. Thanks for the help though!
I was using RMS. Everytime i went into the camera the brightness would Stay the same. However i am now using Energy and when i go into the camera the screen gets brighter. Any way to change that so it doesnt go into full brightness?

Hey, I'm wondering if you've find a way to modify the birghtness on the camera? I'm currently using energy rom too and it'd be great to be able to edit the brightness on the camera (instead of the full birghtness).
Sent from my HTC Ruby using xda app-developers app
Or you can pull the camera.apk out of the rom with the brightness you want it set at.. and put it in /system/app then reboot. problem solved.
I'm pretty sure it isn't the apk itself tho, if you download the HQ camera mod, you will see it has camera profiles, I think if you modify a value in one of those files, that is what will accomplish what you want.
Do not be afraid to do it yourself, if it doesn't work or you have issues, you just reflash the rom without wiping, or reflash the mod. Either will take you back to whatever you had before.
But like I said, I am pretty sure it isn't compiled into the APK itself.

So, I just changed from energy rom to speed rom and the camera seems to have brightness in auto mode (or it just follow my current brightness setting) instead of a certain value...
If you think I can just edit the camera.apk, can I just grab the camera.apk from speed rom and push it to energy rom? Will that work?
Hi,
Just rooted my S2 for the 1st time to the above ROM, brilliant! Big thanks to the developers and i will be donating to them soon. Just 2 things I'm unsure of, which i can't seem to find in the forums.
1.) Is it possible to change the Lock Screen Feature? ie.. to just a standard swipe to unlock, and not the 3 different options as standard on this ROM?
2.) I'm sure the brightness isn't as bright as usual? I notice on some apps it looks a bit soft, and in general doesn't look as bright as was on stock, or is this just my eyes?
Any helps appreciated,
Kierran.

Thanks Sun90, Been looking through there, there are so many pages! I've got 1 or 2 ready to try, is there any that you suggest or like yourself? I also downloaded Holo Locker from the Play Store, but it doesn't really change much. I want to change it so i can get rid of the 3 unlock options etc...?
UPDATE - Just tried flashing 2 different lockscreen mods from Grobak i think. and phone wouldn't boot...
This is my first post here.
I recently switched from iPhone to Note 2. I was very drawn towards a large screen with lots of real estate. The note 2 out of the box didn't do it for me. However, I read the discussions about the international version and people changing the DPI with ROMs and other methods and figured if they could do it, so could I.
After waiting 5 weeks for my pre-order to arrive, then a week for the developers to provide a root option, I finally have my wish. Here is how I did it.
1. Root
2. Install a custom launcher (I installed nova, which works for me.) Set it as default
3. Install a new keyboard and set it as default
4. Install LCD Resolution from play store. I found nowhere that discussed this option, but I tested on a GS3, GS1, and Droid Charge and it worked better than the other DPI changers.
5. Set PPI to 240 in LCD Resolution. Uncheck Always Set on Boot until you know it will be stable. This caught me in a boot loop on the GS3. The only other res I tried was 160 and it failed.
6. Reboot.
It should work great. There are a few things to note:
1. The camera looks bad. I have not replaced it with a new one yet. - Please post any suggestions.
2. The calculator and dialer dont look amazing but are usable.
3. Email in portrait doesn't use the whole screen. I use it in landscape and it great.
4. Clock does not work, but can be replaced easily. I have not found a new alarm to use yet. - Please post any suggestions.
If you get another DPI to work well, let us know.
Otherwise, this is a great mod if you need more real estate on your new screen without loosing any of the s-pen or other stock functionality.
Thanks to those of you who helped root...
hmm, doesn't seem to work for me. The prompt in the app to reboot doesn't do anything.
Can we see some screen caps?
just do it manually it doesnt cause boot loops. You can change it to any DPI you want.
Use root explorer
navigate to "System/Build props"
Hold down "build props"
choose "open with"
then choose "text editor"
scroll down a few lines look for "ro.sf.lcd_density=320"
Change the 320 to whatever you want, I use 240.
click "save and exit",
reboot your device,
profit.
Why would you want to change it if it makes stuff look bad?
you can also edit the build.prop via rom toolbox really easily and the results are attached. 240dpi is first 320dpi is second.
Your Samsung keyboard will also crash at 240dpi but you can replace it with this one made by bala_gamer http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1501015&d=1353535434

I haven't done it yet but a lower dpi would be great on this phone. It would let you take more advantage of such a large screen real estate.

It doesn't really break anything from what I've noticed, just makes a few things appear a bit differently, but still fully functional. It's worth a shot if you're interested in doing it, and you can always change back if you find it unmanagable. Personally, a per app dpi would be ideal, because you don't always prefer every app to be at 240 dpi. But I really like it, especially with the on screen nav buttons, which even those make some apps SLIGHTLY off, but still plenty usable, and worth the small inconvenience. To each their own though.

Is there anyway I can get the steps to you method I tried using the apps but it didn't work and now I got a white line at the top of the screen. Am flashing back to stock root to see if it will remove it. I also tried root explore but would lose the multi window edit option. Now am going for ROM tool box. Any pointers would be great.

The white line is probably the miui battery bar, see if its on in settings> custom settings> battery bar settings. As far as the dpi, just use a root explorer to go into system>Apps>build.prop, then long press build.prop and open in text editor and change the line with "screen/lcd density" and change the value to 240(or whatever you want). Hit menu and save/exit then reboot. You are correct that you lose the edit function in multi windows, but you can always change back to edit your apps, then switch back. The change only takes 10 seconds.

Why you would want to is easy. Ever used a tablet and seen tablet mode on apps? Stock DPI prevents apps from entering tablet mode and that was one feature I was looking very forward to with such a big screen.

I couldn't get that to work either. I think it ma be a touchwiz conflict.
Just experienced my 2nd screen/sleep of death today, and unfortunately I'm thinking it's from the dpi. Going to change and will report back if I discover otherwise. I'll also leave my nav bar on, just to eliminate that variable. Bummer...I really hope we can incorporate a per app dpi on this phone at some point, maybe paranoid android(as long as it's reasonably compatible with the s-pen).
I also noticed my "android system" under battery was going through the roof. It was going over the screen %, but now that I changed the dpi back, it's already back under.

Make sure to use text editor or something similar. I had to long press it and "open with" for it to let me edit anything.

Have you tried using xposed and installing "app settings" through it? It lets you change individual app dpi's, you could try changing the dpi launcher to the normal dpi which is i believe 320.
