Default [MOD] Fix screen warm tint

Hello,
I've been really angry about screen of SGS II - especially about its warm color tint. Today I've been playing with MDNIE profiles and finally managed, how to get off that annoying tint.

Attached file modifies MDNIE settings for "Standard" mode in "Settings > Display > Screen mode" options.

To apply this patch, EXTRACT ZIP and replace extracted "mdnie_tune_ui_standard_mode" with one in your "/system/etc" (root needed).

NOTE: This is not an CWM UPDATE.ZIP !!!

Try it and give me your suggestions!

Thanks!

EDIT:
If you want blueish Dynamic mode, just rename attached "mdnie_tune_ui_standard_mode" to "mdnie_tune_ui_dynamic_mode" and overwrite with one in your "/system/etc".
Settings are same but Samsung have "something" else added in Dynamic profile option.

Added comparison pictures - thanks to bala_gamer!

Note: Real look is bit different than on the pictures (the display is not that blue - at least on my screen). Pictures just shows how big amount of change this is.

There are a lot of screen types so you have to test in on your own if will it look acceptable to you

Just tested it and it did made a difference. Isn't the bluish tint a little too much?

I think that its just a matter of manner.
If I compare these settings with my old, perfect, SGS 1's display, it is still too warm...

It's going to be difficult to match the SGS1 because Supercurio implemented his Voodoo Color application. However, I think your fix is pretty good. Still a little off but much better than before. Thanks

DONATE TO ME
Nice find, I quite like the change, looks to be a little further down the blue side of the spectrum on mine than neutral-white.

Spelling essentials:
1) There is NO SUCH WORD as "alot" - It's "a lot"
2) The shortened form of You are is You're - NOT Your
3) Loosing & Loose have completely different meanings to Losing & Lose.

I do not use Voodoo color at my SGS 1 at all - everything is in default about screen. I think that through these MDNIE settings we can make SGS 2 display colors almost perfect! It just need time to play with...

I think it's a matter of taste. Plus, I think not all SGS2s are calibrated the same way. For me, I like the colors the way they are except for the highlights which I think are on the cold side; need more red and a bit of green.

Anyway, good job. Keep it up.

I have access to four another SGS2 (in company where I work) and all of them are grossy warm...I've applied my settings to all of them and they are looking much better.

I've tried to take a photo with and without mod but I have camera with auto white balance so there is no difference. The change is not very significant either...just a little change of color tone - better to try yourself but don't forget to backup your original files
