I installed this rom, it's work fine but i need to fix something, maybe you can help me ?

First the screen colours and brightness, i set all to maximum but it's not like in the stock rom, it's less brightness and for exemple "red" is more pink.
-> The clock app is crashing
-> Sometime when upgrading apps OS crash
-> GPS is slow

and finally i always have "Starting Android... and sometimes "Upgrading x apps of x" on boot, how can i hide it ?

Edit : And also, i've a S-cover, how can i get it work without install apps that's using proximity sensor ? This phone as a built-in magnet for s-cover so using proximity sensor is a bit idiot :|

Thank you :)

Most won't be fixed as Dev is no longer building for the device, as for s-cover there is no to make it work. It's meant to work only with stock ROM as the files needed are buried deep and are not compatible with any custom rom. Sorry to say but if you want the s cover function then go back to stock

Ok thank you :) (i understand why for s-cover, but that's not really important, i just have to press on off button instead of opening my cover and that's okay ;)

But, still have one last problem : The screen color are verry "strange", on the stock rom we got a perfect color and contrast, and on this rom i'm on the maximum (in the screen options RGB colors and Luminosity) but yellow color still "bad", it's more like Fluorescent yellow :| How can i fix this ?

Thank


Edit : Fixed with a kernel editor software (i add more contrast)

Sorry for the late reply, i've been working since a few day in the A500FU stock rom ^^'

I used Ex Kernel Manager (you can find screen options in GPU tab), but i warn you, it's a paid app, but so useful :) (But Kernel Adjustor do the same job for free)
