[Q] Any colour calibration guides or projects out there? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Are there any projects or guides out there aiming to help calibrated your screen (as in colour management, not touch calibration)? The reason I ask is that there are a slew of apps, scripts, ROMs and kernels that provide different tools to help change different colour options. Many of them have in-build profiles, made by different people. I have a hardware calibration device and I have yet to find a profile that is anywhere near "good enough" (they are mostly horrendously bad). Maybe the included profiles are made for completely different devices than what they are included with, I don't know, but if no guide is out there -or a project to fix this- then there really should be.
Here's an example of a widespread profile used in more than one kernel(blue) versus stock(red):

[APP][28/10/09]l3v5y SpinTheBottle

I felt like trying some alpha blending OpenGLES, and wanted to see how much better things like this work on different devices...
So, you can now play SpinTheBottle on your windows phone!

You can change the bottle image by changing bottle.bmp in the install folder for any ARGB bitmap (it may have odd colours if it's in a different format), so long as it's a power of two by a power of two in pixels, e.g. 256x512.
It might be slightly juddery, and that might be my fault for having crap code... (it might be your device though!)
To exit, press and hold and then let go...
To do:
Custom backgrounds
works great!
How does it work? What are the controls?
how do you change the background? I saw in YouTube, they had a background set in this app

[Q] Is There a "Screen Mode" Setting for Custom ROMs?

I'm talking about changing the saturation settings, this old fashioned screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've just switched to CM10.1 and the colours are WAY oversaturated... Any 3rd party solution or MOD? Surely I can't be the only one having sore eyes from the neon-like colours. :x
To answer the question in the title, yes many touchwiz based custom roms have the same settings.
To answer the real question, which is if there is anything similar for AOSP based custom ROMs, not really. I'm not sure if any of the screen calibration from Perseus kernel works on Devil kernel or not, you'll have to ask in the dev thread for the kernel, linked in my sig. Although, you'll not get a GUI for it.
Found it:
Settings > Advanced Settings > Pan right to the Screen tab.
First change Scenario to 'UI', then the Mode to 'Natural'.

Can anyone compile libskia.so or libharfbuzz.so for Atrix?

SO here's the problem! CM7/Gingerbread cannot render Bangla/Tamil/Hindi and a handful of other languages. However, when Samsung released their smartphones they specifically compiled those two for their devices and that could render Bangla/Hindi/Tamil.
Let me explain clearly. The Tamil character "தி" is a conjunct of two characters and instead of getting displayed as "தி", it will be displayed as "த ி" without space in between. So we can't read anything on facebook/twitter. Only way is to use Opera Mini which everyone doesn't like.

The solution is simple in my mind. Just to take those libskia.so or libharfbuzz.so from any Samsung Specific firmware (Suppose Y Pro Duos: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-B5512&pcode=INU#firmware) and compile them for our Atrix.
It can be done in my thought. As Krystian/Epinter/mmountouri already have done so much advanced work! However, if this problem is solved, it'll be a huge milestone for Asia specific countries because 50% of the majority still use Gingerbread. And if I get the support, I will need JB a bit less.

Is there a way to get a different ROM on MT6589T device

Hello, I bought this phone fro china it seems to be a decent phone, but I can't help it when it comes to the software. This phone is called Lenovo s820T( of course it is a reproduction) but is there any chance to get other ROM on it? Because the Hardware has some potential:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And this is a snap of a section 'About phone'
Original ROM is not really stable, after using camere in HDR the phone reboots ant etc. I have some experience with Android, but when it comes to these kind of devices which do not have certain model, I am totally new . I would like to know from where to start (phone is rooted).
Help needed
I think I bought the same equipment right if the friends of the forum can help, I would be grateful.
There really is no where to start as most of those companies never release the kernel source code. So not a lot you can do. Not to mention they are known for lieing about the hardware

Webviews seem to ignore system font settings, and I'm not happy with their font.

Hi everyone
My current phone, which is an LG K10 running Android 7, uses Roboto for English content and Noto for others. For Korean text, that looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
On the G8X with Android 9, latest Sprint firmware G850U10h, it's using some font I don't recognize, and I really don't like it:
Changing the system font seems to only affect the native UI elements and leaves the content of the webview alone:
I've been reading around and it seems the only way to really change fonts is to root, which isn't available for this phone yet.
I've been trying to set up this phone to my standards and tastes over the past few days and I've been encountering roadblock after roadblock after roadblock, and I'm beginning to resent it and regret buying it.
Any suggestions or am I just stuck? I can't believe such a simple change is met with such limitations.
Another screenshot demonstrating it's not just one bad app:
Thanks for reading.
