Although you're getting better at trolling, the Nexus One, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S, Galaxy S III, Nokia N9, Nokia Lumia 800, HTC One S, Droid RAZR and many other devices use a RGBG PenTile. That's not the only criteria in screen quality.

In other words, move along.
Please press THANKS if someone helps you!

I also seem to have this problem (if you could call it that) the screen of my nexus s seems very dull and the dark colours like black for example, seem almost blue! I compared it to my old nexus one's screen (which is regular amoled) and the colours of it seemed far more vibrant, with black that actually looked black haha. Im about to check the model number to see what type of screen the nexus s actually has but can someone explain to me what this 'voodoo' thing is?
Thanks

I honestly think those who like the iPhone just see that BS retina display and think its the effing best. When under 20 lbs of pressure it cracks versus Gorilla Glass on most Samsung devices have a better resistance to cracking upon past 20 lbs of pressure.

Here's what you want to do for amazing colors.

1) Root phone
2) Flash custom kernel that supports Voodoo colors (Matrix, Air, etc)
3) Download 'ROM Toolbox' from the PlayStore
4) Open it and navigate to 'Scripter' under 'Tools'
5) Tap the '+' sign at the top right hand corner
6) Create a new script
7) Name it Voodoo and copy paste the following:


Code:
 #! /sys/bin/sh

echo 2540034400 >/sys/class/misc/voodoo_color/red_multiplier

echo 2563125760 >/sys/class/misc/voodoo_color/green_multiplier

echo 3001858880 >/sys/class/misc/voodoo_color/blue_multiplier

echo -59 >/sys/class/misc/voodoo_color/blue_v1_offset

echo -59 >/sys/class/misc/voodoo_color/red_v1_offset


echo -59 >/sys/class/misc/voodoo_color/green_v1_offset

8) Tap the script you just made called 'Voodoo' and then tap 'Set At Boot'
9) Reboot
10) Troll all iPhone users and Voodooless Android owners with your INCREDIBLE screen

These are my personal Voodoo color settings. I have yet to find anything deeper and richer than this. These settings are awesomeness.

Nexus S (GMS i9020a)
Paranoid (1.6 - 4.0.4)
Matrix Kernel (CFS - 20.0)
Ondemmand (800/100)
Deep Idle (On - Noop)
Live OC - 105 (400/800)
BLX - 98 (Inverted Apps)
LG, Nexus 4
