Potential fix for our screen issues? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I wonder if something similar to this could be done with our Note...?

[Q] Does your stock gallery crop bug?

So I've noticed an issue with the stock sammy gallery and was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this.
So my issue is:
When changing wallpaper, select a picture that's NOT stored directly on your phone (I've tried this mainly with Picasa, don't have anything else).
Crop the picture with the (imo) shi**y crop tool that Sammy has provided us with,
Set the wallpaper,
your wallpaper should now be a cropped version of the same resolution as the image you saw on screen
(Not a cropped version of the -original- image)
(Meaning if your image displays at 1280x720, it should in theory crop at that res, whereas the usual behaviour is to crop the original full-res image - Ie. download the whole image, then crop).
This all makes for a very grainy wallpaper because well, let's face it, the final result will have a much lower pixel count than 1280x720.
As I said, I've only observed this with Picasa pics, local pics seem to crop correctly.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
(Using a different gallery / crop tool seems to fix it for me).

[Q] sAMOLED to LCD calibration

Hi!
Is there any way to calibrate Samsung GS2's AMOLED display colours to look like LCD display? I think LCD generates more natural tones than AMOLED. Is there any calibration app or tool to achieve such colours on AMOLED?
I noticed the difference when I transferred phone screenshots to my laptop (which has LCD) and also when I compared the notification shade tones (cyanogenmod 11/AOSP) with nexus 4/5 which have LCDs. S2s AMOLED screen shows browner and warmer shade for QS tiles whereas nexus LCD shows grey colour tiles. This is just one example; many other elements like keyboard, pop ups have this kind of difference.
I am sure there must be some way to calibrate AMOLED screen to look like LCD colours. Has anyone tried this before?
Sammy roms and some aosp/cm roms has this "movie mode" which makes colors alot more natural.
On sammy roms it's under display settings and in aosp/cm etc roms,which has device's "advanced options",it's under screen tab.
As for complete r/g/b,gamma,saturation etc calibration solution as some other phones has in kernels or so,there is no such developed for S2 as far as I know.
And you posted in wrong section,ask mods to move it to Q/A

Thanks to @crachel for moving this thread to the right section.
I forgot to mention that I have tried playing with Advanced display options in settings menu of AOSP ROMS yet those options couldn't do the trick.
There is an option to do this. It's not a calibration, but a way to view your pictures with a correction profile on your smartphone.
I have one of these Spyder4 to calibrate the computer monitor for color reliable work. For this Spyder4 there is an app called SpyderGallery for Android. It's free. Once calibrated, you can view the photos of your gallery color-calibrated through this app...

OneNote has lines vertical and horizontal

I just purchased an s3 today and noticed my onenote app has lines going thru my drawing. When I zoom in it looks like there is a grid. it changes based on how zoomed in I go....maybe a resolution problem?
anyone else?
Also, just noticed when I'm writing, the ink shifts up a little bit if zoomed in.
Are you seeing this?
should I take it back?

[EXYNOS S9+] [Q] Problem with HDR videos?

Hi, I will copypaste the thread I did post on reddit.
I've just recently got the S9+ Exynos (EU) variant and I wanted to be hyped about HDR media playing. Downloaded some 10bit HDR H265 files and played them through the Samsung Gallery. Cranked High Performance mode to 1440p, +10 brightness and tried between Adaptive/Cinema Mode (this didn't make any difference besides some slight changes in colour and gamma).
Problem is, I see color gradients and a bad greenish tint, lifeless appearance overall. I did try Youtube 4K HDR demos in 1440p as well and, while I can see the extra PQ, color banding is very apparent: background blurred images seem like a weird crushed rainbow :-/
Is this supposed to look like this? I did read about the release (around march) issues people had with black crush and Netflix's HDR, but also read that some update fixed it. It appears that S9+'s AMOLED is 8bit, so is 10bit HDR and Youtube's HDR the culprit? How to play HDR media properly?
PS: Another thing to note is that neither gallery video player nor in youtube player does say HDR in any window or setting while checking file properties. I did read some reports of people seeing HDR stamped at the start of the videos.
Thanks in advance,

Display shrink problem

I am including a video link from my google photos Video
Here you can see the display corners and the notch is expanding and shrinking very little after applying a theme or by doing anything related to display overlay such as night mode from developer option! Are you facing the same? If so then it is a bug and we can get a bit bigger screen real-estate!

Yeah I've also noticed it when changing the dpi.
Maybe they've done it for cosmetic purposes. So that the curves are nicer maybe?

Seems like they are after curves but not screen real estate! even the notch will look smaller, Sad
