Bad LCD... Bad yellowish color temperature. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My I9100's SAMOLED+ screen has a yellowish color temperature. The lcd is not callibrated properly. The whites look yellow when I compare it with any other device. On gingerbread I'm able to modify mdnie files and change color temp...(but will this cause burn-in or more tint???) And on ICS and JB the mdnie files are either missing or not making a difference.
Q1: Is there any way I can change the color temp. and reduce the yellowness in iCS or JB? (JB on priority) (preferably no custom kernels, as my phone has SoD probs with those. ..)
Q2: In case I replace the LCD in the future... will the color temp be normal or still yellowish?
The greys look quite green in low brightness...
Please help me!

[R] REQUEST - fix auto-brightness

The auto-brightness on the thunderbolt doesn't work very well as it is almost always too bright. when i'm in a super dark room it seems to still be running at 50% brightness, which is far to high.
CM has a way to tweak the levels of auto-brightness by way of adjusting what screen brightness setting is assigned to a certain level of the light sensor.
so it seems clear that there is a way to bake this into custom roms.
Can this be put into a .zip file so that we can just update our current rom instead of flashing a custom one?
I've gathered some information that this should be in liblights (or something similar) and possibly in the kernel as well.
If anyone is willing to help me bake a custom rom that is a unique rom i'd much appreciate it, but i think the community would benefit as a whole if we found a solution for everyone.
I agree with you 100%, the auto brightness on this phone is wack. Completely dark room in the middle of night and the phone's screen is so bright it hurts my eyes.

Yeah it WILL NOT dim down to min in a completely dark room. I'm dying for CM so I can fix this. I use the power widget in the notification dropdown thanks to the Das BAMF ROM I'm using to dim to min at night sometimes.
I tweaked the auto brightness levels to be lower in my rom if you wanna check it out.
Very nice thank you for the post

[Q] Wierd problem on miui nb

I can't ask on the official thread because I'm a new member.
When im using some apps (like youtube and root explorer for example) the background of the app is white and the font color is also white so I can't see the words, but when I put my finger on a title the words become dark and clear.
Youtube is a very usefull app and this is very annoying.
Has somebody noticed this problem and know what to do?
Thanks in advance. =]
Go into manage applications under settings, find your app, turn on compatibility mode

Some roms the developer didnt notice issues like this and you have to wait for an update.

[Q] Weird Effects On Any Faded Wallpaper

Hello, I am having a little issue with my wallpapers. Any of them that have a fading effect end up with a weird thing happening to them. The wallpaper I am trying to use is a basic faded blue wallpaper but when I use it as a wallpaper it gets pixelated. It looks fine on the computer and in PhotoShop, but not the phone. This happens with all pictures like that, from my computer, Zedge, where ever.
So, is there any way to fix this pixely looking picture into what it really is? Any option I can change? I am using ThaUnknownArtist's Ice Cream Sandwich Final ROM. I know it is not the launcher, since I have tried it with Go, LP, and ADW.
Sorry I can't post the pictures, I am new on XDA and it won't let me post outside URL's. Thanks to anyone with an answer!
I think it's so because our phones screen outputs only 265K colors instead of 16M like some other phones.

No, it doesn't have to do with the screen. Just tried the same picture on another Optimus V and it looked fine. Maybe it's the ROM? I'll see what I can do. Any tips though?

In CM7 roms there is a option for surface dithering, if its unchecked then this might also cause your symtoms

there still are these GIF-like colors also when surface dithering is enabled.
It is a known issue caused by the poor screen of p500 and the lack of dithering in some roms. A workaround is to download quickpic from market and put a wallpaper through that app. Dithering problems is almost gone in quickpic
Thank you! I put the wallpaper through Quick Pic and it fixed it. Seems like it was a problem with the gallery.

Everybody has that. So don't worry too much. It's the ripple effect itself. You can disable it on the lockscreen option or put a lighter lock screen wallpaper. :good:

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
