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?

Hello All,
I have looked around different forums hoping to find an app or setting info which allows to modify the screen color, contrast and Gamma . I haven't been able to find any .
I have a Vega Tegra2 replica which has high screen brightness ( faded black colors ) and I am running Vegacomb 8.1 on it.
Can any one please tell me if such an app or modification exists?
Many thanks !!
Anyone has any info?
Sorry, don't know anything that can do it. But it's a nice idea.
It would be very helpful for those that have cheaper tablets/phones and want to improve the screen quality and picture.
Im wondering how come no apps is around? Any limitation on Android OS to handle this or harware limiation?

Thank you so much. This app solve partly my UV and Blue light allergic.
Best.
The link above doesnt work anymore... anynew app that can do this ?
I found it, can actually change colors RGB, saturation, contrast, brightness, invert, make screen black and white with root access
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.omegacentauri.red
Somsehow work but paid with 4 day trial.
But I actually try to find a type of app that just reduce selected color from screen
I noticed that when I set a high res wallpaper as my background or lockscreen the quality is reduced. I found out that this is because when the picture is cropped, the image quality goes down the drain.
This can be reproduced by cropping an image yourself. When I crop a whole image of 1680x1050, for example, and I take the whole picture, so that the pixel count should be exactly the same, the new image is actually 640x400.
What was the thought proccess behind this, like.. seriously.
Also I'm currently on LJ2, if that even matters.
Okay apparently this is already fixed in LJ4.
Are you sure it was an issue previously? If so, can I add it to my post?

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...
@duraaraa any info or direction that you can provide on this?
I upped the resolution from stock 1080x2160 to 2160x4320 and left dpi at stock so I can have more screen real estate and still have a comfortable viewing experience. The issue I'm facing now is, I cannot capture a screenshot I get an error.
System UI
Couldn't Capture Screenshot
Screenshots are not allowed by this app or your organization.
steps to reproduce:
up your resolution to 2160x4320 and take a screenshot
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Sorry, don't know. Probably issue related to rooting and the settings you changed.
Thanks for the quick reply but I'm not rooted.

Mate 10 pro panel is only 1080p to begin with,
In what way did you upped the resolution ?? The setting wont give you that resolution option.

uh... well... you already understand that this method is "only faking" the number for the app to think that it run on that size of screen right ? Hardware & stock OS wise, the limitation is still on 1080p
I dont think the system UI app of EMUI 8 itself was made to handle that number
Normal 4K itself is only 3840 x 2160, and i dont think i ever found any phone running 4K+ (18:9)
This is just like asking why sometimes the play store act weird when we change our DPI
So answer is that : because it simply didn't support it
I've done #wm size 720x1280 & wm density 320 to 720p screen for long battery life. and I found the system's screenshot can not take whole screen(720p one).
It looks like the screenshot component take a 480p screen and the same 720p adjusting on AEX 5.x is fine.
so I thought maybe the screenshot on pie still mistake 720p screen for 1080p screen and take a 480p picture（expect: 1080p x 720/1080 = 720p, but now: 1080p x 720/1080 x 720x1080 = 480p）
But I notice that keep wm size 1080x1920, whatever which density（320 480 240）I've set, the screenshot could take a complete screen picture. while I change density, whatever resolution (720x1280, 480x800, 1080x1920), screenshot just take the top left part of screen...
partial screenshot is same condition , take a top left part of what I selected .
the screenshot on different resolution is the last issue I can found on AEX 6.0, which not contain on AEX5.x（maybe this is pie issue but still expect you can fix it） if I don't need change the resolution, the ROM is PERFECT?
can you fix this ?? thxxxxx a lot

Who is gonna fix what? Just use the phone the way its supposed to be used i dont understand what you are doing and why. If anyone, huawei can fix your issue i guess.... good luck talking to them.
You should read this, particularly the long answer near the top which explains the size vs density changes.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions...to-use-adb-shell-wm-to-simulate-other-devices
I think this is actually a bug in android pie. My phone has a 4k display, but normally uses HD res unless in gallery app. So I changed wm size and density to match the display (and despite what some other say, this actually changes the visible resolution, IF your display has this many physical pixels).
Screenshots worked worked fine in oreo, but after updating to pie, there are black borders on the picture.

No Huawei phone has a 4k display, this whole thread is a waste of space really, guy setting his phone display to something that is not supported and wondering why his screenshot won't work, damn mate 10 pro is 2160x1080 and can't be any more than that, if the problem was the screenshots not working in a supported mode there might be a reasonable and were but as it stands this thread should be closed and deleted

The whole point of my post was more like: its not a Huawei only "bug", but effects all (or at least most) pi phones with a custom wm size set. Maybe I was beating around the bush too much... :angel:

Hi, have you found any solution for the screenshots when you change the screen resolution? You're right it happens only in pie and with different phones, in oreo the multitasking previews resize when you enter to the app but the screenshots are ok, in oreo the previews in multitask are ok but the screenshot miss a part of the screen.
It not sharp and little hit blurry if zoomed in there are no details.
Anyone else?
Yes, today got the phone from flipkart and I felt the same. In some old youtube reviews, the photos looked much more sharper.

Ok that means atleast my phone is not faulty.
I tried gcam as well but no improvement.
Are you from India and if you ordered the product via flipkart during big billion day sale? I found similar complaints from three other users in twitter. But for some, they do not have the problem. May be a defective piece?

The exact issue is that front camera is out of focus/always focusing at infinity. It is not getting focused on the human nearby.
Absolutely same
Yes happened to me too, last morning i received and used stock camera and gcam 7.0 too the front camera photos are so blurry if we zoom in.
Poor sharpness, compared it with POCO F1 and noticed LG G8X thinQ is having very dull front camera sharpness
And poor white balance in nights.
Same in night mode in gcam too.
Please suggest some settings to fix this.
As per Lg we are supposed to keep the camera 30cm away to focus.
https://qhelp.lge.com/share.ncd?mode=F&oid=5094M04UN8&sid=6EL
I think all the phones have this issue as its set on infinity focus.
Happened with me too
The so called 32 Mp Front Camera is so poor. No sharpness, no details and poor AWB.
Even Pocof1 did amazing job compared to Lg G8x.
Tried several Gcams but result remain the same
Yes front camera is very poor..no sharpness..even my 4.5 year old redmi note 3 with gcan takes better selfie
Yep, gcam makes little bit improvement in sharpness but that's it.
My oneplus has way better front camera than g8x.
As well I found that wide camera is also not clear, compared to main camera.
And video from wide camera is very bad.
I have read several tech review blogs that the front camera is fixed at infinity, and hence the face is not focused correctly. It's not a defect, and it's not a recent issue. Even Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has the same problem. You have to keep the device as far as away as possible while taking a selfie.

You are right.
I agree that the stock cam is far-focused that results in very (defocused) smooth selfies. Alternate solution that I tried is to install this Gcam version with a xml config file that I created after playing around with the config of it for quite a while. This should raise the quality of selfies quite a bit and feel free to even tweak the settings further to cater to your preference.
Let me know if it helped and how the results are looking after using this.
PS: After installing this Gcam and downloading the XML file, open the Gcam, navigate to the section "More" from the bottom tiles on the main screen. Between the options that appear on the screen and the bottom tile (from where you selected the option "More"), there will be some space/gap. Double-tap in that gap and an option to select the config file will appear. Select the downloaded XML file and hit OK, the GCam app will restart with the config from that file pre-loaded. Happy Clicking.
