Hey everyone, I hope I'm posting in the right section because it's been a long time since I posted a thread on this forum haha
In my opinion, the screen on our G5 is great calibration-wise, however it lacks a little bit of saturation, especially since I was coming from a Galaxy S4 before this phone!
So, I remembered a little thing from back from my G Flex 2 days, called KPPD and originally found on the G4 forums (original thread is HERE), that allowed us to edit the screen settings natively even on the phones that didn't have the options in the Display settings.
Since we finally got root on the H840 as well, I thought I may as well try it out and BEHOLD! It's working!
It's relatively easy to set up and tweak, even though there's not an app to edit the settings. However, the file that contains them (postproc.conf) is pretty straightforward.
I'm running stock Nougat on my G5 SE (H840), but it should work just fine on any Qualcomm-based devices.
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONE MISBEHAVES, BLOWS UP OR STOPS LOVING YOU, I TESTED IT ON MINE AND EVERYTHING'S WORKING FINE, BUT THERE'S NO WARRANTY THAT IT WILL WORK ON YOURS AS WELL.
GUIDE:
I didn't actually do much for this to work, none of this is my work so please head over to the thread I linked earlier on and thank @savoca for his amazing job

GUIDE:
- Download the attached zip, which is just the original zip, from which I edited the config file to better suit our G5, by only adding a little of saturation (original is at 255, I put it at 275 which IMO is the "sweet spot"; everything else is unchanged.)
- Either flash it via TWRP or extract the two files from it and copy kppd in /system/bin, with 755 permissions (rwxr-xr-x) and postproc.conf in /system/etc with 644 permissions (rw-r--r--). Use any root browser for this.
- Setup a script to run at boot, either via init.d or with Rom Toolbox lite (I use it)
The script isCode:kppd /system/etc/postproc.conf - To edit the configuration, simply open the postproc.conf file with any root text editor (I use Solid Explorer's integrated one) and tweak the settings as you like, keeping in mind that 255 is default in case you mess something up
