Hi guys,

In the next version of SpeedMod, I'll be making some changes to the color of the UI. In the JPX source code drivers, there are some new configuration settings which are interesting.

This kernel is based of K12F and should be stable. It is labelled K12G-TEST.

In this thread I will upload 3 different color settings:

Neutral
Warm (more yellow: use this if your screen is too blue)
Cold (more blue: use this if your screen is too yellow)
No color management

The purpose of this thread is to gather feedback from you about which color setting you prefer.

I realize that there are at least 2 types of screens with different colors - one which is more blue, one which is more yellow.

The file with "-warm" is the warm color version.
The file with "-cold" is the cold color version.
The file without "-warm" or "-cold" is the neutral color version.
The file without "-noc" is the version with no color management.

On my friends SGS his whites are more like faint yellowish, on my phone its perfectly white.
So yeah there are panels that are probably poorly calibrated.

Thank you hardcore, i've never had problem with both version (normal and color) of any version of yours. So, normal is better i think :D

Have you thought about changing text color in CWM from green to blue or green like Amon-Ra recovery? ;)

purple: samsung (blue?)
green: zstupy
blue: hardcore (purple?)
red: supercurio

easy to distinguisch en you can tell by the collor what kernel you have :)

Haha... no I don't plan on changing it, and theoretically green is the best because Pentile-matrix AMOLED displays (like the one in the SGS) have the full resolution for green pixels, and less resolution for red and blue pixels.

Understood ;)
Important is that it works always :D

I would try cold version, is it possible to have it at 256Hz? ;)
Thank you hardcore ;)

I also would be really appreciate if you could change the CWM color.

Maybe it`s not the best resolution on Pentile-Matrix-Displays but something special at all ;)

I compared my SGS white level to my PC monitor (Eizo FlexScan S2431W), and I saw that it was a bit cold (blue).

Tried your warm version to correct it, but it seems too much for me.

To specify:

On low and medium screen brightness the screen is now too warm.
On full brightness, it seems OK.

Which makes me think that this matter is more complex than just adjusting one slider or setting or whatever, since the color temperature seems to change a lot with brightness.

On second thought I am not sure if my observations are 100% correct... maybe I'm just too used to a cold temperature...

Thanks for your feedback. So u find the warm too warm, versus your monitor.

Although it's a good basis for comparison, color balance is very tricky because it depends on the ambient light - if you are out in the sun, your display will seem more yellow (because sunlight is very blue). If you are indoors using warm lighting, your display will seem more blue.

The MDNIE software allows a certain level of control - at this point I can control the red/blue color balance which affects all brightness levels. This is similar to Samsung's own presets.

At this point I don't think I want to venture into trying to correct colors at different brightness levels - the source code also doesn't seem to offer that.

Mine is redish, installed your "blue" and it is just darker red...

Tonite I will install the new "no process" version, at least it uses less battery...

Please note that neutral and no color management versions are not the same.

Noc version has actually colder colors, from what I can see.

The 'warm' version is PERFECT for my first generation UK i9000. Many thanks, been waiting on a colour fix for ages now!

For me the standard works best. The cool is too cold, and the warm makes the screen yellow. I find this strange because I was using the cool versions up until now. Is the color correction dial turned up a bit too much? :)
