Better Captivate Screen - Captivate General

My friend just got her Captivate screen repaired because it wasn't responding. When she showed me her new screen there were some visible improvements. It seemed a bit crisper and mine was tinted yellow compared to hers. I think im going to go get my screen changed!

Try to get the rogers screen if you do. It says samsung at the top and nothing down by the buttons.

are you running a custom kernel? cuz some kernels with voodoo colour change the colouration of the screen, to fix it up, just download voodoo colour from the market and change the colour settings (only if u have a custom kernel)

It's voodoo control app. It handles voodoo sound and color. Also if you want you can buy the paid version and support a great dev for galaxy s community. If your strapped for cash that's fine too. It's what this beautiful community is for

Voodoo Color?

Anybody know if voodoo color fix is available for the Charge? I would like to get rid of the cool blue.
http://project-voodoo.org/download
Doubt the Galaxy S voodoo color would work for the Charge since we have Amoled+ and all. Let's just cross our fingers and wait to see what imnuts says.
It will work, though it wasn't a simple edit as the files that are changed didn't have all the same methods the files that voodoo color has and makes changes to. Imoseyon seems to have gotten at least some of the voodoo color changes built into the kernel though.
How can we get this? Does someone need to port it for the charge?

13.3 or the new 13.5 that is coming out with gummy2? I am not noticing a color difference between 13.3 and your kernel.

Development on the Charge is looking great! Makes me so excited I got this phone, Gummy2.0 is being released tonight, Cyanogen soon after, OMFGB sometime in the near future & now it looks like Voodoo Color Plus is happening!
Who is working on cm7?

Problem with Voodoo Colour

I am using NSCollab 1.0.39 on my Nexus S I9020
I have a Matr1x kernel which supports Voodoo sound and colour
But when I check the Voodoo control app there is no option for colour
I know other people have had the same problem but I spent the last few hours searching and finally found nothing :/
Help?
Thanks in advance

Does the kernel you have already include the pre 2.2.3 colors? If so, you do not get the sliders to manually adjust colors as it is set to a specific color setting already.

If you can't adjust any sliders you probably have a kernel with 2.3.2 color drivers. The color sliders are for users to correct the mess 2.3.3 made. Personally, I'd take that as a win

Screen is way too bright

My biggest complaint with this phone is that the screen is far too bright on its lowest setting, which I feel is a huge reason the battery life isn't as good as it could be. My iPhone can be turned down way dimmer than my Captivate. Is there anything I can do about this? Any apps or hacks that will allow me to dim the screen further than the OS allows?
--Thanks.
PS. It's rooted and all that goodness.
Trysome of the widgets from the market. I like the one from curvefish. Don't know if it will make it darker, but you definitely have better control over the brightness.

Thanks, I definitely like the added control with that app but it's still frying my retinas sadly.
You could look for a kernel with voodoo color. But you would have to use a custom ROM, I don't think the kernels that support it are compatible with a stock ROM.
Edit
You could also use darker, if not completely black, wallpaper and themes.
Screen filter app in the market works well for me

Switched over to the Talon Kernel, which seems to have a dimmer screen by default, but I don't see any options in the voodoo app for adjusting the brightness of the screen (just RGB and gamma).

Lower the gamma hack value. If they are at 0, 0, 0 now, try it at -30,-30,-30. It wrong change the color perception, just brightness. Play around with it and find what you like.
Sunglasses work also or you could get an iPhone.

I flashed it yesterday. Stock look with adw launcher's theme same as vahalla black. Would post screenshots for you but I flashed back to VB. Good solid rom but battery icon was hard to read for me (tiny print) and didn't like the lockscreen 4 tab slider as the only option. Minor stuff I know.

huh? wut? I dont see a tweaks setting anywhere. However I dont have the lockscreen the poster you quoted has...
@Raver I've had no problems using tweaks in your ROM. Miui lockscreen, just showing battery percentage etc.
However, tweaks isn't showing up under settings for me. Am I missing something?

How bout something green?
There's tons of blue going around.. so why not different colors right?
Like Black and Neon Green detail.. just my opinion
@Raver. (For some reason my quote didn't take lol.) No biggie. Just flashed it to see what it was like. Love flashing new/updated roms. Switched back to VB because I prefer it, not for those reasons alone. Just trying to describe to OP what it looked like to me.

Kernel color control

I've been looking around and have not found the answer to my question anywhere. So here is my question. I'm sitting here looking at my vzw galaxy s3 right next to my vzw gnexus. And the whites look so much whiter on the nexus. Granted on the nexus I'm using francos kernel and have the color conteol tweaks going but I didn't think I would need to tweak the s3. I would have never noticed If i didn't put the phones side by side showing the same exact thing. . Otherwise this screen on the s3 is absolutely beautiful. But I can't seem to find a kernel for the s3 that offers color tweaking like on the nexus. Does anyone know of an app or kernel that offers these options. Thank u in advance.
Sent from me
I have been following the Trinity kernel thread by Morific and his app has/will have color tweaks enabled for the GSIII once he enables it in his kernel. I haven't purchased it just yet but based on a couple user's posts, the color adjustment side of that app was enabled for the GNex. That's what I'm basing this info on, the thread is in our Original Development.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Thank you for your response. I do own the Trinity app. I really hope he integrates the color controls into the gs3. Just curious. Has anyone else noticed this. My buddy has a gs3 and his whites look just like mine so I don't think I have a lemon.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
I notice this, too. The whites have a bit of yellow to them.
Yes exactly. A slight yellow tint. Tgr gbex used to have it too with the stock kernel. Guess we just have to wait for one of our amazing kernel devs to fix this. Wish I knew how so I could contribute.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
No problem man, I'm actually interested in seeing what color adjustment are about. This is the first phone I've had where that was potentially possible. In the last few weeks I've noticed yellowing on parts of my screen but only with select colors, I notice yellow mainly towards the bottom of my phone in various greys when viewed at angles. Is this what y'all are referring too? I notice it a lot when using the xda app cuz one half of the main categories across the top are lighter than the other half when I hold my phone in landscape.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Yes exactly what u are talking about. Actually the xda app is what I used to compare to with my galaxy nexus. Ive only had the s3 a few days now but I bought my GNEX on launch day. And with the GNEX I noticed the colors got worse over time. As soon as I started using the color tweaks it made my GNEX look like a brand new phone. I'm patiently waiting for these options on the S3
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Likewise, I'm all for learning about this and reaping the benefits. In your experience with the GNex, would you use the TKT app to adjust the brightness across various kernels by other devs or was brightness control limited to just that kernel it was bundled with? I've only ever used SetCPU so these brightness controls using kernel apps are new to me.
On the GNEX I used francos app or ezeekels app depending on which kernel I was running. I never used set CPU for color control. To tell u the truth I didn't even know set CPU had that option.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
What I meant was I have only used SetCPU to control my kernels in regards to clock speed. Using these kernel dev branded kernel apps (or anything really) to also control color adjustment are something I'm unfamiliar with. The last version of SetCPU that I used, v2.x, didn't have that so you're correct about that.
I appreciate the clarity about which kernel app to use.
