Did this a long time ago but keep forgetting to post it. I am not sure if it works on the other variants of the G2 since I did the calibration on a D802 international version. Did it with an i1Pro.

Advance Color Gamut Comparison
(Before)
(After)
In Trickster Mod, go to 'Screen' and enter Red =255, Green =245 and Blue = 230. This corrects the greyscale to 6500K and also manage to lower the overall dE of the color gamut.
I am pretty sure some people will say that they can't see the difference, but you will.:highfive:
With what kernel do we need to are?
And again, i dont think that all display are calibrated in same way!
Btw, this make also black more black?

Kernel is Dorimanx V2.4 and Android version 4.2.2 Stock Rom.
ALL D802 coming out of LG is calibrated to a tight tolerance so they are all pretty close. I can't say for the other variants but I would say if they use the same display, they should be very close. At least mine performs the same as the ones on the review sites.:good:
By the way, this is a single point greyscale adjustment and it does not affect the black point. Although from the gamma point of view it is a tiny bit darker in the 10%.
Ok thanks for this information!
I suggest to keep up the work to always find the best calibration,
Maybe with users resultsnand settings!
Thanks for the tip Slimer pal, it looks so damn nice now!
Working fine on the latest dorimanx kk

Hmm maybe should have elaborated . I do like the colder blue stuff more. Got used to it. Same as I hate yellow lightbulbs... all cold at the house .
Just that the setting is not much for me. Knowing that the warmer colors are more natural and better for eyesight I choose the dangerous way of cold white blue
Anything under 255 blue is already yellow for me on my screen

This is about all that we can do for now unless some developers can discover the other parameters that control color saturations. Nexus 5 has some of these tweaks but not the G2 ..... yet.
The human eyes tend to think that white is whiter with a tint of blue and that is why most phones out of the factory has a color temperature of 7000K+. The parameters on the 1st page will yield a color temperature of standard 6500K.
Hi slim, do you know a terminal command that can trigger this values which can be converted on a script?
You know, for those who don't want to use trickster
Sent from my Darkside of LG G2
I have discovered something.
I use lux lite.
In the settings mode there is a night/astro mode.
If you go in there you can adjust color temp but you but only when you select night mode.
Make sure you tick that box then adjust it and then detick it.
It then sets a unique colour change of the display.
Slim can you try it and tell me what temp is equivalent to your calibrated value?
Ps-my whites are really white and excellent contrast at about 5626k on that setting in lux lite.

I don't know you can do it with terminal command but if you just want to avoid using trickster, you can try to download one of Faux123's app like Advance Color and Gamma Control. Yes, that is designed for Nexus 4 and yes it is not supposed to work on the G2 but yes, you can input those values through this app and it will stick as long as you don't reboot. I think Faux123 has a similar app for the Nexus 5 but I never tried. I think it will work as least for the RGB part.
Oh sure it works, I tried them both but I was thinking to use a script
I'll check, thanks

I tried it out, it works to a certain degree but since it only provide a 'color temperature' slider your result will not be as good as the ones that have full RGB control. If I don't have a choice and must go for software tune then I would just download the screen-filter in Playstore instead.
I did not measure it but your values should be okay since the original LG setting is only about 500-600K off.
i use red 238,green 220 blue 255 in trickster as i like the bluey cool white, im on 4.4.2 flex kitkat, ukd802 savocas kernel 2.2.3 and brightness set at 68%

Hi,
Just got my Galaxy SII today.
Compared to my old LG Optimus 2X, the screen is very dim, although very colorful. The whites are incredibly blue, as can be seen here:

The Optimus (to the left) is with automatic brightness enabled, and the SII (to the right, duh!) is with brightness set to max, manually.
The screen seems VERY blue compared to the Optimus.
Is this normal with the SII?

There's definitely color variations across different examples of the phones ranging from cool to warm. The warm seems to bug people more than the cool. In this long and painful thread you can see some pics of other phones side-by-side to see where yours falls.

I had a G2X, the O2X's bastard relation. I liked the G2X display but thought the contrast was just OK and it didn't perform well in daylight. The SGS2 screen because of the black-blacks and exaggerated colors took some getting used to. After two months, I look at an LCD display now and go ewww. You'll probably feel the same way when you get over the shock. Watch a movie, that'll make you feel better

I appreciate your input, although the blue is so bad, it gives people in the vids a kind of smurf-ish look.
And besides that, the off-center viewing angle makes the blue tint even worse. The reviews praise the wide viewing-angle, which is as arrow as about 30-40 degress before the colors gets distorted.
ammm,,,i dont think that that much bluish tint is normal,,,,u sure u dint get a faulty handset??i mean yeah super amoled plus has a bit of a bluish tint,,,,but man! thats too much blue....(ps-i compared mine to some lcd screens so dont tell me to place it beside one)

It actually seems as you'll have to look at the phone from a very straight angle, as only a few degrees will result in the blueish colors. And the weird part is - going a few degrees further will result in normal-ish colors (yet still very dim) - and afterwards turn into blueish again, "the rest of the way", if you catch my drift.
I'd go blue over yellow any day. But that's too blue and whoever you bought it from would have to be blind to not see it; return it. I hope you didn't buy it off eBay...

Got my galaxy s2 couple of days ago from expansys, it has no blue tint or yellow left side, the only thing it has is on lowest brighness setting on grey background bottom right corner you can barely see some kind of ring like shadow . Good thing you can only see it under that situation only.
Feel bad for others with blue tint and yellow side , get replacement ?
My captivate(SGS 1) and SGS2 both have same even whites.
Hard to see even harder to photograph shadow ring.
The ring thing is called the "coin syndrome".
The service center wouldn't acknowledge the blueishness as a defect, even though my phone compared to a demo GSII was an electronic smurf.
The blue tint is probably from the Gorilla Glass coating.

I was browsing the SGSII i9000 dev threads and found this little jem, which is now supported on the i777. What this will do is enable you to be able to get rid of Sammy's nasty contrast settings and fix banding, which it does beautifully.
All credit's go to supercurio!
You can also download it in market as Voodooscreentuning.
*after doing this and adding the roboto font, I got to say i'm very pleased with the way the SGSII looks. I've been a little upset about the way it was calibrated. Never understood why devices don't come professionally calibrated, tv's out of the box for the matter as well. I suppose they want to exaggerate color saturation , contrast and what not to give it that "pop".
Here is the link to the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1241590

Really? Wow, it's clear as night and day. I'm running unnamed too. When you use the app you can see right there that the gradient is all banded looking while on samsung settings, it is totally obvious when you switch to native.

I did notice that, but I also noticed the sharpness on pictures seemed to have blurred. That may just be a by product to fix the banding. I'm no screen calibrator.
exactly when you watch movies you will notice that their is no more artifacts, because when you artificially add/enhance contrast/sharpness you create noise it becomes apparent when you are watching movies on your phone. So what you see now is a calibrated native experience. I do graphic design and invested a lot of money on sensors to calibrate my monitor and TVs. It makes a world of difference when you get it right. I notice it most when watching a scene where there is a lot of shadows, the blacks don't crush out all the dark grays.

That's something I never really noticed in the first place with movies. Everything just looked crisp.
The app is cool, but I would like a little more control as opposed to 2 buttons. Know what i mean? At any rate, it's free, and you can NEVER hate on free
I agree, more options is probably the one common denominator we share. From his thread this is going to be "huge". That little app took him 4 months of calibrations so I think he is going in the right directions. Curio is the most OCD person I have ever met, which is a good thing in this case! LOL
* I did notice when i got the phone that things looked a little cartoonie! I was still flattered with the screen. I love how everything is a little more natural to the eye.
FYI for those using CM7 on the AT&T SGS2: support will be coming later next week for our device name. Right now it will show as "model not recognized" when you try and run it.
This app is nice. Kudos to SuperCurio

I think it sticks. I just rebooted and it looks like it's still working.
Just because I think Curio, should get all the respect he deserves for his OCD. I am going to shave his face into my head like this kid did in respect for steve jobs!

Yes you hit native. If you notice the gradient it looks less banded. Trust me super curio had done a lot of work on this, he is a legend. If you dont notice anything then you really don't need the app. It works you just aren't that particular about the calibration. SOme people are some people are not.
Im coming from a captivate, and from what i remember, some roms were brighter than other when i selected auto-brightness.
So far I've tried stock and a few different builds of CM7 and both seem really dim.
Dont get me wrong 80-90% of the time i prefer it this dim, but i find myself just setting the screen on 50% brightness now, and manually changing it to the lowest setting when needed.
Side by side with my captivate, the captivate is much brighter in normal light when on auto. When i make the room dark the captivate responds and goes dim.
Not a huge deal, but im wondering if anyone else notices this.
Nope. If anything I find auto brightness slightly higher. I usually check to make sure it's still on zero in lowlight. Auto in daylight is great (for me)

could there be something wrong with my phone? I find that even with all the lights on in my room, when i go from auto to low brightness, it might even get a little brighter. So the lowest brightness setting is still brighter than auto brightness low in medium light......
Oddly, I found the auto-brightness to be a bit overly bright in most cases. (As well, the display brightness can drain the battery extremely quickly.) I found a thread for the original GSII that details how to modify those auto-brightness values, and made that modification on mine:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...ht=config_autoBrightnessButtonBacklightValues
Now it's perfect (for me.)
If you use cyanogen, the various auto-brightness levels can be adjusted within the phone's "settings."

For specific times you want it darker you can use screenfilter. It literally makes the screen darker, and by that I mean your screenshots will turn out darker.

Huh? That's not something controlled by the kernel. This device has an 8 bit value (0-255) for levels of brightness. The minimum setting as provided for by the settings UI is '10'. By modifying xml files embedded in packages, this can be lowered. However, there have been reports that using a value lower than 10 results in a greenish cast to the screen. See the link I posted earlier in this thread. ITS NOT A KERNEL FEATURE.
0 is off. 0xff is full brightness. You can modifying the kernel until your purple, but it's not going to modify the display driver, nor is it going to modify the fact that you can't be any dimmer than off or any brighter than full on.
Next thing I'm going to read is that Siyah's kernel can wash dishes.

+1 for screen filter, it's been one of my most-used apps, as even minimum brightness is ridiculously bright at night.
Here's a link for anyone interested, I HIGHLY recommend it both to have greater control over brightness and save battery (a nice bonus indeed)

EDIT: Screen Filter + Tasker = Painless auto-dimming
Seemingly to counter the LCD owners moaning about AMOLEDs vibrant colours Samsung has added an extra mode to the S3 screen settings.. 'Natural'. We now have 4 modes.
Dynamic
Standard
Natural
Movie
There is also a temperature option within the videoplayer itself to further tweak the look.
Which do you prefer?
Natural all the way. Once you use it for a while Dynamic and standard look a little too gimmicky..
Actually prefer standard! Natural and movie look too washed out and dynamic looks too saturated.

And thanks for the picture comparison. It was so nicely shot I was debating whether it was a screencap or not. I guess it is still hard to judge though since I am viewing these pictures right now on an IPS monitor. Even if I viewed them on my s2 with superamoled, there's no guarantee with all the image processing from the camera and my phone, but the comparison makes its point in regards to the color differences between the modes.

I hate the sharpening artefacts brought by the dynamic and normal modes. Just look at the signal bar. I personally use the movie mode.

Only movie mode disables the horrible sharpening artifacts. But out looks way too wash out and too warm. What I do is use power save level 1 in browser.
Wish there was a mode between Natural and Standard. Natural is just a tad bit too washed out, but Standard is way too overexposed.
Can't wait for the devs to do their magic!

Mostly natural but will switch to standard now and then.

But does the screen really look thàt bad? Cuz dear god! It looks like Windows 95 without video driver?

No. That's just a crappy photo. The screen is amazing.

Can someone post a video of the different modes, like playing a movie trailer? I wanna see how saturated animated 3d movies are (lorax, madagascar 3) and whether or not live action movies people have natural skin tones instead of alien colored red and orange skin.

I agree. Standard is oversaturated, while natural is undersaturated.
I voted dynamic, but i think it depends a lot on the wallpaper you have and its colors. if my wallpaper had vibrant colors I think I'd tone it down
There is however a too high blue tint on the screen. Can this be solved?
I'm really curious to see what devs can do about this and I agree that a mode between 'natural' and 'standard' is needed. Or better yet, the ability for users to set their own custom modes. I wonder too if it will be possible for devs to remove the white shadow that appears around text, especially over grey backgrounds.
With proper tweaking, I think the SGS3 screen will look as good as the one on the HOX but there's still a lot of work to be done...

The white shadows around text are sharpening artifacts. That looks bad enough but the sharpening also make text appears grey instead of black and lowers the contrast. Using the level 1 power saving mode in browser turns off the sharpening and improves text appearance but makes the display slightly bluish.
Mine looks a bit like the image on the left, and I am just wondering if this is very common and it would take multiple returns to get a better display.

Probably just the early production. Mine is perfect and nobody in the same buying group (around 100 people or more) complained.

Mine is grainy, too. I'm thinking of contacting LG for a fix or a replacement. It shows mostly on the camera. The photos are garbage. Even one of the cameras' lenses is shifted to the bottom a little lol

My display is completely free from noise or banding or whatever at any brightness level or color. An excellent display.

It looked really bad and that way (like a paper texture) on my display when using the battery saver when turning down the display resolution to lower brightness levels (on LG Stock ROM).
This was something I noticed quite heavily at the beginning when getting the device.
HOWEVER
I haven't seen this on non-Stock firmwares so far, even in lower brightness.
Looks like it could be an effect of power saving measures on Stock firmware which exposes the grainyness of the Diamond Pentile Matrix of the display more
The same thing happens to me while using the cameras in low light. Is this not an issue with all units?
Edit: This goes away completely if the brightness is above 50%
Here's an example. https://photos.app.goo.gl/5Xjwch17Dqqt2NUV8

I can confirm that as well, high brightness eliminates the bloching, especially in dark gray tones. however, something even more weird, brightness of 25% or lower can make some shades of gray completely disapear! they simply turn to black!

Just checked with a YouTube reviewer. He says that this is a known issue with all LG poled displays (v30, v30s and Pixel XL). So replacement won't really help me.

Got my replacement phone and it's still just as bad, I love the phone otherwise but the screen is terrible and it's hard to get over it. The low brightness and yellow-ish colors(White mainly) I could tolerate but not these noisy sandpaperish display. Don't wanna deal with more returns and stuff so back to Essential phone.
The grainy display only is on grey backgrounds on low brightness and is completely gone if I increase the brightness a bit. I can deal with that for a display this good. BTW my hardware version is displayed as v1.1, maybe you should get that.

I'm experiencing a grainy display as well and have a hardware version 1.0 - what do you mean by 'getting that'?

The grain is noticable on every brightness level. Drove to 7 different phone shops and finally found one on display and was perfect (no grain), going to get mine replaced...
Perfect display here. It's actually my second V30+. Overall I have 2 big gripes. The crushed blacks and maximum brightness. V40 apparently fixed those 2 things

Mine is a hw version 1.1 and I see grainy/blotchy greys at brightness under 40%.
V40 may have fixed this but it has a notch. Maybe I'll upgrade if the v50 is a fullview display.
