Judging by the reviews it should work. I know im getting it once i receive my N4.

It does work. I just don't know what each setting combinations look the best.

I don't notice yellowing yet. Guess if it appears, I know how to fix it now. Since it looks like software, why isn't this fixed?

Can someone post their settings for this app. Black's are too light and colors not as vibrant as when using cm calibration settings on the previous nexus'

This is a different type of screen. Blacks will not be as deep nor colors will it be as saturated as super amoled. As far as settings I use 255 190 255.

I use Fauxclock. It's got CPU/GPU clock and voltage control, in addition to color (and gamma, when ROMs/kernels begin to support it). You can also select an IO scheduler.

Basically it does all the same stuff as Voltage Control, SetCPU, Incredicontrol, and N4 Display Control, but it's in one app so it's overall cheaper.

I went to a Best Buy today and compared my N4's screen directly to a Optimus G. I didn't actually think my screen looked yellow at all until I compared it to the Optimus G. My N4's screen looked terribly yellow, was less bright, and had worse viewing angles than both of the Optimus G's my local Best Buy had on display.

Based off the first post in this thread for the GNex, I set my Nexus 4 to settings of:

182
190
200

I haven't tinkered too much but this seems to make things a bit better.

Has anyone else experienced the screen turning very yellow, almost brown, when viewing from the corners of the device? I am pretty unhappy with the viewing angles on the phone, especially after comparing it to the Optimus G, which is supposed to have the same display.

Do you think there is a limit set on the brightness maybe a dev could unlock that limit to make the phone more brighter

This app puts an overlay on top of your screen, so it doesn't really "change" your display colors. Also: the overlay should disappear when you try to install an app because of the security issues with having one in place when trying to install an app. I believe Lux and other similar apps do this too.

But why you can't see it on a screenshot then?

I'm using 185,190, and 220. Looks better than default

The screen settings definitely do not change when you attempt to install a different app.

Why do you say this is just an overlay? It is baked into the kernel.

Hahaha... posted in the wrong thread, sorry. I had another tab open for another Display control app that worked without custom kernel/root.

Thanks for these settings! I myself have a spyder 4 but applying your settings has made the screen much better! Thank you.
