Has anyone gotten rid of the green flash when you turn of screen on ICS? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I seriously don't think Google knows this issue exists within stock ICS, which is kinda were because this happens to me nearly every time I lock my Nexus S.

Have you installed the Voodoo app ?

Yea you can try by going to display and turning the brightness to 26. I remember doing that on the miui roms bc.of green flash on the on/off.animations

If you use the lock animation you will get rid of it

Install a new kernel, like Matr1x Kernel.
Or use voodoo plus app.
Heeter

That sort of fixes it

No matter what I do, the settings either give me a green screen flash or it flashes the clock screen vaguely, it is so weird.... does Matr1x rid me of this? I am using ICUP.

Yes, the latest Matr1x kernel (14.5) has the green screen fix. I believe the Steve Garon kernel has it too.

I have this problem also using the latest GlaDOS cfs 2.8 kernel, & the only way I can cure is to use voodoo gamma set to defaults which is lame really coz every time I reboot I have to reset it again!

LED notifications?

I thought I saw a mod around for LED notifications using the back lights of the soft keys, or was I just imagining things? I have Cyanogenmod 7.0.2. Please and thank you.

You need to flash a kernel that supports bln (back light notification) and then download the paid app "bln" from the app market.

Netarchy's 1.3.0.X+ above kernels have it. And yes it will affect your experience with CM7..... affecting in a positively way. It's so much better than the stock kernel.
It has support for Voodoo Color, Voodoo Color, BLN and a lot of other goodies.

NOTE: When you flash a newer version of CM7 afterwards. You'll have to flash the kernel after flashing CM7 as well because flashing CM7 replaces your kernel with the stock kernel.

Works great, and I tried the BNL, pretty cool gotta get used to it and I also like this kernel cause apparently it has godly battery life?
Also recommended and not mentioned is the "No LED" app from the market... works by highlighting one or two pixils of the screen...
I never needed to mess witht the backlight stuffs... But still Netarchy's kernel is very worth it..

@thisoneguy I just tried the No LED app and it is amazing. Serves the purpose. Hope it is not a battery hogger.
Cheers for that mate.
I've been using NoLED for approx 3 months and I've not experienced any issues with battery drain. It's a great app.

Will this tweak wipe anything out? No.
Will the recovery for GB cause your phone to wipe? Maybe depending on what recovery you have. Last I remember there was a fix for that, I dont have GB therefore I am not to sure.
It works on humble 1.6 but the boot animation is black. Just wait for a few minutes on the black screen and it will boot normally.

@droidnewb2000 yes it works but itll break the boot animation, I dont know why it does it.
@phillthedrill this replace the binary files with files from Honeycomb which are more responsive, the files are app_process and system_server.
@Grillrd sorry you dont see much of a difference. I notice a huge improvement and so does my girlfriends Inspire 4G and friend Infuse 4G.

Damn man, sorry to hear that but it seems like your the only one it caused this problem for. Ive tried this many times... The most i can say is wipe, install the rom and let it fully boot up. Then flash fugu. This tweak is universal and MANY people without charges use this tweak without problems.
I'm running Humble 1.51 with Voodoo and Super Charged V6, so my phone already feels snappy. However, I ran Linpack prior to flashing. My scores ranged from high 15's to low 16's. After flashing, Linpack consistently gave me scores in the 18 sec range. That is with NO overclocking, as I'm using the PBJ kernel. This was an easy to use, worthwhile mod imo.

[Q] CM7 based roms all cause SOD...does anyone know what's causing this?

Everytime i have tried flashing a CM7 based rom, and i've tried almost all of them, once the screen goes to sleep it won't wake up. i think that's called sleep of death (SOD), pardon my n00bness if i'm wrong. the odd thing is that when i press the wake button, the phone and even the digitizer wake up because i can hear/feel the phone unlocking when i make the sliding motion on the screen, but the screen itself will not wake up. Does anyone have any idea what's causing this? or better yet any ways of preventing/fixing this?

I have this problem with all 3 kernels, stock, oc UV, and oc stock voltage .. I've had this phone for a month now, this is what makes it a waste of money for me. Even my girl has this problem with her g2x, yesterday I put cm 7.1, hers started doing it too.. and she's had 3 replacements..

Did u wipe ur data and format system before flashing? Try to fix permission too. Only guessing but maybe the battery is bad, as far as I know u not getting new one with replacement, so if u had same issue on stock rom that could be a problem.
I had 2 replacements but had that problem only if undervolt too much.

I did wipe data, format system and even fix permissions and still same problem occurs, I don't think it has to do with the battery tho because stock OTA based roms don't have this issue...it must be something particular about the CM7 base
Also, could it be the fact that i have the WIND mobile optimus 2x? it says p999-DW on the back though
use miui it doesnt have the SOD problem cm7 did it the last time i had it (3 days ago)

Just asking if you can help thank you

Am i see there's alot of kernals im rooted and have clockwork recovery 5.0.2.0 im currently running miui crespos i think and i want to se if i can chang the rom but i tried others. It says aborted. Anyway every time i put the briteness down and hit the sleep button. It turns green while it turns off any ideas would help......... And whats the latest rom if anybody dont mind me asking........

What you have got there is voodoo colors. For some reason when brightness is turned down, the green screen shows up. Download voodoo app from the market and play with the settings or search for the optimal settings either on xda or google. Good luck with that.
what rom did you try??
sometimes not all nexus s 3G compatible with nexus s 4G...read first before flashing...
that normal for samoled nexus..just flash matr1x kernel,glados franco or others..it will fixed it..or you can lowering your dim level..
If you are on MIUI try this: Go to settings/display... turn automatic brightness on. You then should be able to see "Advanced Mode" under automatic brightness. Click that, then scroll down and turn "Use custom" on. Under that click "Light level to dim" and check 20 (default). Back out and done. If you don't like Automatic brightness you can turn it off. The settings still stick if you do.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help. What I suggested worked for me when I had the green screen issue. Is your version of MIUI up to date? I'm on MIUI 1.12.2 which was updated just yesterday. Last resort, or thing to try is wipe everything and reflash an updated MIUI and custom kernel.

[Question] Kernel flashing and matrix kernel specifically.

Hello everyone!
Phone: nexus s 3g running stock 4.0.3 with matr1x 14.0 kernel
my 1st question:
i was wondering how can revert back to stock kernel without flashing my stock rom again or going back to my previous backup?
i know it is very easy to switch from kernel to kernel but i would like to know how to switch back to my stock kernel. If you come across a link please send it to me. Thanks much appreciated.
my 2nd question:
my phone reboots the 1st time when loading up matrix kernel.
what happens is i press the power button .. the phone boots up normally then halfway through the animation it gets stuck and the phone reboots BUT this time the boot animation works properly and i am finally booted to my phone. Note that i have absolutely no issues running the kernel + BLn + Voodo etc (also not oced either)
question how can i solve this? is it normal?
I have one last question (sorry lol)
about voodo colour is there anyway of removing the grren flash that i get from unlocking the phone.
i know i can reset to 2.3.3 colours and that does do the trick but i would like to use my own custom settings..
stock 3.0.8 kernel can be found here in 3rd post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399273
Questions regarding matrix should be asked and may already be answered in his thread
And green flash is common on kernels with voodoo it also turns screen green occasionally for me when auto brightness set
not sure how to fix haven't researched doesn't bother me that much
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Alright...
First off is this a specific rom? Like kustom kream, nexus beam..
Or just stock ics rooted
Second, try this again.
Get the rom zip again, then get the kernel zip again.
1. Wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache
2. Flash rom
3. Set up rom
4. Go back to cwm
5. Wipe dalvik cache
6. Flash kernel
7. Reboot
Did you do it like that?

im on offical ICS 4.0.3 rom stock (rooted) with matr1x 14.0 CFS
well i downloaded matr1x through rom manager and after wiping dalvik cache i flashed the kernel.
is there anyway of fixing without clearing data? i have a lot of stuff on my phone i would rather not erase... also im on stock ICS so how would go about flashing it again(its not like a rom i can just dl and install or is it)?
speaking of which i know titanium backup backs up apps but does it also backup like my contacts, sms and phone settings etc?
update: i went ahead and only deleted cache and dalvik cache and then installed the kernel again. same problem =/

anyways the thing is the kernel works perfectly fine other then that and sinc ei dont reboot my phone so much its really not an issue for me.
just another quick thing since that is the only problem i have experienced with the kernel and that everything else is fine working fine should i be worried about stability?
No, the kernel is pretty stable out of the box.
