[Kernel MOD] (Auto)brightness corrections

[schiphol]

I'll try it today and let you know
According to Supercurio, this is Samsung's color profile deviation, not SAMOLED fault itself.
Anything software broken can be software fixed

Any ideas why from the 5 devices I checked only mine has this dark screen/brown colors issue on auto brightness? Apart from one theses phones were all (including mine!!!) running in the same configuration (Doc's 7 w/ hardcore's K12H kernel w/o color fix)

Any news on this? No kernel developer has really responded, I think I might just try my luck and get my phone replaced by Samsung if no fix is in sight for this.

I've been using manual brightness for the first month when I got the phone and switched for auto-adjust when I didnt care for the battery life that much, it actually works close to perfect on my end id say around 95% of the time. I guess preference here comes into play as a very huge factor but there ARE rare cases that was also in the article that the auto brightness bugs out or panics.

Well, this might be personal preferences as well. I'm afraid most ppl (including most of/all Samsung serviceman) won't notice brownish and won't replace it or will replace for the same brownish one. I'm willing to here your success schiphol so I can try by myself.
About development of fix, maybe one of kernel devs is working on it but I haven't heard from him any more and I don't have time to learn more and code this fix unfortunately.

For the time being, I'm using "Screen Filter" app from Market. Just that, the brightness is back to original levels after using some apps like Browser etc.
The Voodoo Brightness Fix 2.1 type of permanent fix will be really good.

Two possibilities here in Poland, go to service center and:
-> the man behind the desk will just start laughing and tell me I'm a good joker, and say 'this model is like that, its just the way it is' (better option)
-> the man behind the desk will make a serious face and tell me: 'yes, I can see what we can do, we will repair your device, but be aware that repair period is 2-4 weeks' 'ok take it' I say. After 4 weeks -> 'sorry sir, our engineers didnt find any fault in your device, its fully operational.. But they noticed traces of root you made 4 months ago, sorry your warranty is gone now'
(worse option)

Seriously. I know its pessimistic, but I have to just live with it, use screen filter for lowering the brightness (set brightness to ~50% and then try screen filter), colors are fine and screen brighness is.

Yeah Xan, I think it would look like you've described.
I've customized one of the themes to avoid this sh*tty color and I'll live with it until kernel fix come out or I buy another phone.

Hi guys!
Have a look at this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=909801 with this we can change the colors ourselves, albeit not per brightness level. At least at thought I would share and see if anybody can find the right color settings that takes out the brown that has been bugging us so much. I have been playing with it for a long time now, but haven't found the ideal settings yet!

Even with red color set to min. in Galaxy Tuner, it is still brownish and some blacks are too red
