What is MDNIE and how do I turn it on?
I have seanzscreams ICS installed and loving it, but was wondering what this is and if there's any advantage in using it.
Will this help?

Hi,
I have the same question and from my research it is some sort of display tweaking same as the Bravia Engine, only using this, you have a lot more options. Although in reality, I can't really find anything changing when i modify the settings...
mDNIe stands for mobile Digital Natural Image engine.
In stock galaxy S2 rom (at least my i9100 international), under Settings ->Display -> Screen mode, it shows a sample image and three preset profiles - Dynamic, Standard, and Movie. These adjust the brightness, sharpness, contrast on different screens/ in apps like camera.
Custom roms can always have custom settings for these display-related parameters of a phone.
I am not android developer, so I cannot tell you how to turn it on, but I think stock rom has mDNIe enabled by default.
How do you access the MDNIE options?
to access mDNIe options in my samsung galaxy s2
go to Settings ->Display -> Screen mode
i727 doesn't get this option I think, haven't ever seen it.

None of the crappy AT&T variants have this.
On the Skyrocket, just find "mDNIe Switcher" and install it. It comes with Seanzscreams Sky Ice rom. Not sure where to get just the .apk
It's available in CyanogenMod 10 and 10.1. I was tinkering with this today.

mDNIe is a display tweaking utility that is only useful if you had an AMOLED (LED) powered screen. Its useless for an LCD screen.

I didn't post wrong info... I just stated a fact. I know sgs 2 has an amoled screen... People asked what it is and i answered. mDNIe rebalances the chemicals in LED lights to change contrast, sharpness, blur effect. UI makes things sharper but might impact quality by missing MSAA (Multi Sampling Anti Aliasing) which now, in latest cm 10.1 you can turn on to avoid "pixelated curves" in letters and such. VT is more rich and contrast.. I think that one is from VoodooColor.
Camera i think makes the color level warmer. Every phone has different mDNIe modes. So just experiment.

Okay, I know we have lots of threads with people posting pictures of their bleed screen. I want to request one member atleast who does NOT have bleed to post a picture of his screen here. I personally am getting a second G2x and since this is like my first phone in over 5 years, I'd like to have a picture ready for comparison when I get my replacement.
You could use this as a test page.

Alternatively, telekNesis has made a wonderful app for this exact purpose. Use that.
http://teleknesis.net/Android/APKs/ScreenBleedTest.apk
I've attached 2 images of my screen. One from far away, and one in close up. The camera brightness gets wonky when its far away, so a closeup is most recommended, and I'd like to compare this.
I would but my phone is the only camera I have at work
can post one in a couple hours
EDIT: See new pic

I used SketchBook Pro and painted the screen black, set it as my wallpaper, used LauncherPro to hide the Navigation Bar, then took a screenshot in a dark room. As far as I can tell, I don't have any unusual backlight bleed. True, it isn't the deep black my Nexus One would have had, but considering this phone is backlit, I think I'm OK.

I've compared it several new smartphones and the whites are definitely way off. Blue tint kind of thing.
its the only problem to the amoled display.. try using a voodoo kernel, they seem to fix some color issues

I've compared it to a blank Web browser on an iPhone 4 and the brightness and clearness of the whites don't even come close on this Mesmerize but I know the Galaxy S's screen is just as bright as the iPhone 4 screen, so I doubt it's an AMOLED issue. I feel it's a software issue.
I've made sure the brightness is up full so I believe I'm doing all I can in that respect.

ok, a few years back, my windows phone had this really cool app, it was a bar across the top that was 1 or 2 pixels tall, multi colored that displayed the amount of battery left. someone told me it was in a rom, but I can't find it to save my life. maybe one of you has seen it or knows which mod, or anything about it, because I would LOVE to have that stupid little bar back.

sorry if im mistaken, i dont think this feature is on cyanogen mod. It is however on most of the 'MIUI' roms, i think it is standard on there.
Is this possible to have standalone? This would complete my device.

WARNING:
Using this mod may decrease battery life, decrease screen life and/or quality, cause overheating, cause your phone to blow up or cause other damage to your phone. Use at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage this mod causes to your phone.
This Mod will increase the max brightness of your phone by about 10%.
Note:
Auto Brightness must be turned off for this to work.
Root is required for this Mod.
Instructions:
Download and run app attached to this post.
Or. ..
echo 1 > /sys/class/backlight/panel/auto_brightness
If you reboot or enable auto brightness you have to run it again.*
The best way to tell if it worked would be to run it when your screen is already at full brightness. You'll see it go a bit brighter.
Tested on T-Mobile Note II, but this may work in many Samsung Galaxy phones.
It worked!
Could you tell me why it can be increase?
And do you know how many nit when increased?
Thank you!

I don't know and I have no idea.
My guess is that when auto brightness is enabled Samsung allows the device to go a bit brighter in direct sunlight. This Mod seems to half way enable auto brightness so that the screen goes brighter but doesn't enable the light sensor.

The brightness limitation is at 250, this mode makes it 299.

By this logic we should keep the brightness at 20 percent. The brighter it gets the faster the quality decreases in the long run.
I can guarantee one thing: when you'll change your device, this screen mod will not be one of the reasons.

I might have been wrong saying that. When i checked paranoid and applied the mod it didn't work. But today i tried it on galaxy s III with cm10 and it unexpectedly worked. So I'm not quite sure what the deal is. Anyhow I'm gonna take the chance. The brightness gained is too great.

Every time after reboot or setting auto brightness I need to install this APK? No way to make changes permanent?

Using tasker to run the program at boot its the way to go. The problem is you have to run the program every time you activate auto brightness. Solution to both problems: use perseus kernel. It includes this mod.

Hello guys. I have this question. My problem is the saturation of screen colours in my LG G2. I dont like the colours how appear. I got a tablet from asus and there is an app called "Asus Splendid" and you can adjust the saturation of colours and many other. I try an app from google play the "screen adjuster" but its not working good, if i set a custom colours i lose the deep black contrast from the screen...in fact its not working at all. Please help guys

If there is any custom kernels you can use Trickster Mod and change what you need to. I just got my G2 yesterday though so i don't know if any are available. Coming from a Note 3 though I love the screen. I hate amoled!

yeah if you are rooted you can use trickstermod or faux apps to adjust all aspects of your phone ie colur /gamm cpu settings,gpu settings there are others available too
the two kernels that are available are in their relevant g2 sections
Try STweaks from Google play, but it wont work with the stock kernel I guess.
Thanks guys for the fast answears but trikster mode and STweaks is not what im searching for.In these apps you can only Downgrade the saturation,I want to increase it just a lil bit,I already told that there is an app in my asus tablet called ''Asus splendid'' or something like that and you can adjust the colours with a slider,not like blue red green...I m running AOKP 4.3 now.

need a custom kernel for that. try asking the kernel developers if they're willing to look into this, some color fine tuning would definitely be welcome.

no, it's not that simple. a developer would need to implement the color calibration into his/her kernel (assuming LG has left that "window" opened, some manufacturers lock the display controllers and it takes some skills and reverse engineering to make it work) and then you would need a kernel tuning app that supports this feature too. i do agree, it sucks this feature is not available in one way or another out of the box on android considering how many phones out there have abysmal color calibration.
