Peak brightness -- AOSP vs. TouchWiz? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone ever tested AOSP ROM's to determine if they are capable of the same peak brightness that TouchWiz's "auto-brightness" feature can deliver?
Here are some things we already know.
-) TouchWiz auto-brightness can get brighter than TouchWiz manual brightness.
-) TouchWiz auto-brightness can get brighter than 3rd party auto-brightness apps.
But what about AOSP? I've read somewhere that Cyanogen has tweaked their ROM to deliver the full peak brightness the display is capable of. But does that mean it can get as bright as TouchWiz auto-brightness?

Using Resurrection (4.4-based) and I feel that TW is brighter than this. Just can't stand that horrible bloat though.

[Q] Super Nexus ROM

Hi.. I just flashed my GS2 with Super Nexus rom..So far it has impressed me to the core..everything is working properly. Kudos to the developers.
I just have one slight problem with this rom..the colors of all the photos, wallpapers have very very high contrast..it is difficult to look at them..Is there any way to reduce the brightness, contrast of the phone..I tried the default 'adjust brightness', though it reduced the phone brightness, the brightness and contrast of the photos and wallpapers is still very very high..Is there a way to adjust it?
Thanks in advance

I don't know about super nexus but on Samsung based rooms and even usually on AOSP/ AOKP roms there is a setting to change the screen mode. Try changing it to movie which I think is the "dullest"

[Q] Auto-brightness speed

Hello there, i have a question about the light sensor. I found a romsin which the auto-brightness is blazing fast, but on stock and other roms it is so slow and annoying when it slowly changes the brightness.
Where can i modify the speed of the brightness change?

speed of brightness change!.......learn aosp my friend....android is based on integrations....the more integration done through xml the more fast it gets.......if we use external apk's to perform same function they require to change many more live values which makes it slow.....
this is where custom roms and devs are preferred

[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...

Software (ease of use, features, etc)

When you hand your phone to granny to take a photo of you, can she get the job done? Rate this thread to express how you deem the LG G6's camera software. A higher rating indicates that the software is easy to use, fast, uncluttered, and inclusive of advanced features for when you need them.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
This is some of the best software I have ever used with a camera. It can run in manual and it is very well fine-tuned. I also like that when you're in manual, you can "level" the phone as there is a graphic that appears to show you if you are tipping the phone in the shot.
The White balance (color temperature), ISO, shutter speed, EV(?), Manual Focus is possible in manual mode... HDR can also be turned on and off or left on "auto".
There are filters and lots of cool "modes" you can play with. There is also a "pop out" feature that uses both of the back cameras to create an inset image (which is customizeable with filters, different shapes, etc)
The selfie camera has lighting settings, filter and skin tone as well. Lighting adds more light to your face and skin tone basically adds a gaussian blur to your face if you want to give the appearance of faux smoother skin.
You can take advantage of the extra screen real estate and put a pop-up "camera roll" on the side to setup new shots based on past ones.
is it still the 5 min recording limit for 4K due to heating ? which LG v10 also has??

So what happens when you try to record again right after you just filmed? A warning too cool down/wait 5Min.?
Adequate, but difficult to use and over -difficult to use. Very difficult to navigate and understand within the application.
This phone has one of the best implementation of OEM skin over android. Its super light overlays and not trying to do too much in terms of animations and gimmicks. UX 6.0 has a consistent and proportional feeling throughout all the system apps with strict adherence to material design guidelines.
I highly recommend the following settings to take advantage of the insanely dense and crisp screen on this device and to best showcase the UX 6.0 UI themes.
# On Display settings
-- Set display size to smallest (makes the nav bar look apt-ly sized and frees up real estate)
-- Use LG's font instead of Roboto (this font is incredibly crisp on screen and uber readable)
-- Use bold settings for font (helps readability insanely, esp after setting the display size to small)
# On developer settings
-- Set animation speeds to 0.5x on all three animation types
-- Force GPU rendering for 2D
# Use a Dark Theme
-- Use a dark theme or black theme, default one is too bright to my taste.
I'm coming from a Oneplus3T who's OxygenOS had rave review for being a tastefully functional AOSP+ implementation of android. UX 6.0 takes it a notch up on the design side and is more refined than OOS. I wish they get to 7.1.2 soon to take advantage of the battery life improvements, otherwise this one's been mighty impressive so far compared to the experience i had on Oneplus3T.

using open camera
Coming from mi 5, this mobile is excellent in terms of hardware and software needs to improve more. Previously had g2 which was perfect in all aspects. My sincere suggestion is improve the rom like miui. It has better features and doesn't lagg or hang.
If anybody wonder how to enable volume bar (yes it's very hidden xD) here is instruction https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75512773

Display calibration mod/app?

What I really miss is a Display Calibration App/Mod that works on all devices running on customs roms.
An app that lets you set contrast, light, color, gamma, white balance...
There are way to many phones/tablets that have terrible Delta values.
Anyone here know if there is someone on Xda that working on an mod/app like this?
