I have had amoled screen phones in the past, and screen tuning apps (VooDoo) can make it noticeably better, and fit each persons preference.
i Was wondering if it will be possible with the One S? , since the only phones i have seen amoled screen tuning apps on where Samsung phones
Would be pretty cool, all i know is that it will need a custom kernel to be enabled
Bump. Now that custom kernel are on the horizon.
blacks and grey have a reddish tint when the brightness is on the lowest. voodoo cam fix that.
would love to see this on HOS as well!
This would be really good

Interesting video but I was actually referring to the kernels on the horizon part
But I just looked on HTCDev, seems like One S is out, so I guess that is what you meant.

I want to try the Xtreme kernel, but I refuse to go back to non-Voodoo and the blue tint/fuzzy text of the Epic display. I realize there may be future kernels that I want to try that also do not have the Voodoo Color fix and I don't want to bother devs with my personal requests.
How hard is it to add the Voodoo Color patch to a kernel? I have basically no coding experience with Linux but I would be willing to learn a little if it is doable for a noob like me (I taught myself some PHP, MySQL and Apache so I'm not completely hopeless with computer languages).
If this is an unrealistic goal please let me know. Otherwise if anyone could help or point me in the right direct it is much appreciated! Thanks
hey i was just wondering what your voodoo settings are, cause when applied i thought that it only worked when you had brightness at 100%, so is yours at 100% all the time?
I believe that was for an older version of Voodoo. The latest should work at any setting.

The patch is super simple to apply. However, Devin is a good friend of mine, and right now I think the only thing XTreme has on MixUp is 1.6Ghz OC and I already have that in my tree. I also have some VooDoo Sound goodies, and a few other tweaks/fixes. I should be releasing tomorrow, if you can hold out. If not, just use XTreme. It's a good kernel.
Thanks gd! I've always been a fan of your work. Good to know you are releasing an update soon.
That definitely solves my short-term problem. But as long as I have this thread, I would still like some help on how to apply Voodoo to a kernel. There may be some super-awesome kernel that comes out in a week that doesn't have Voodoo, and I'd really like to be ready
I have tried a few kernels and I have never seen any blue fuzzy text....what is that you guys talk about?

They really need to take real screenshots, not simulations.
The only thing I've really seen is that text does seem a bit oversharpened, but I haven't seen any of the other problems (at least not to the extent they claim)

Well, it won't show in screenshots, because then it'd take on the tint of whatever screen you view it on.
You don't notice the blue unless your used to a properly calibrated screen. If you have access to one, hold your phone up next to it with both on a totally white screen. It's VERY obvious. Also, youre really unlikely to see the text issues until you see how it should look, then its clear.
The problem with screenshots is that they don't reproduce the same colors as your screen. A photo suffers the same problem, as the camera's CCD doesn't genuinely reproduce the colos you see either.
Until display technology improves a bit simulated screens are the best way to explain the effect - the intention was likely never meant to be "looks exactly like this".
My screen has a noticable blue tint (to me at least), but nowhere near the exaggerated screeshots on the voodoo page.
Voodoo should be easy to roll into a flashable patch.. when I have some free time I'll dig at it unless someone else has done so already.
[Edit] Also worth noting, if you're viewing those simulations on your epic, the blue you see might be oversaturated
Looking again at the voodoo page, there is already an udpate.zip flashable, has anyone tried this?

That won't work.. The changes are in the display drivers in the kernel. Not even a module..
It takes a whole kernel build with the drivers integrated, and only Epic kernels work for the Epic of course. Not other SGS kernels even.

Never tried it. It's probably a bad idea, because if something goes wrong with the module you have no video. And, it'd still take changes in all the kernels to make it usable with all of them. Still, I like the idea.

I don't see it on my phone. It's not as white as my LCD screen, but my phone's screen isn't blue. So I agree..go without it.
If you set 7 smartphones next to each other, you'd probably have 7 different hues of white. Just a thought. I'll admit I got lucky with my Epic cause I don't have the blue tint. I compared mine with a Vibrant and its amazing how different of hue it is. I bet this post is super confusing, I'll stop now
hi
what the hell is voodoo lol im kind of new but i know how to flash roms keyboards an plenty more but what is voodoo im a fast learner
Pretty sure, geniusdog's kernels will keep having voodoo in them as long as Herver's continues to have it.
Reading through this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320942), it looks like we need to properly calibrate our screens to make the blobs and lines (if you have them) less noticeable.
This thread notes an app (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1241590), Voodoo Screen Tuning (https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.screentunedev), that seems to work wonders, but it's not (yet?) compatible with the SR. Any suggestions on what to do with screen calibration?

I have sent SuperCurio our SKYROCKET info for that App. as i have it on my infuse and my 10.1 Tab and he said he would look into it. im just not going to bug him. but i will see if he's had a chance though.
From ICS to JB and still no camera recording fix at 720p. I thought i read somewhere in xda infuse that 720p recording was fixed, maybe i'm wrong.

It's a damn hard problem to fix. If you think about it it's a deep down driver level issue that requires a pretty broad skill base to diagnose and fix. Years of coding experience to understand yet alone begin to fix it... It doesn't help that this isn't supported by Samsung nor the camera developer.
So it's incredible that the damn thing even turns on. I'd say Entropy and jt are smart enough to fix it in time though

I miss 720, imo its the only thing holding me back from flashing any other ICS Roms. I wonder if the camera can be fixed with an aftermarket app, like how TORCH was fixed by using an app.

Sorry, but this forum is not only to HTC devices. If you take a moment, you see that it's like this web. The only mistake I maked is that this patch is for the Samsung Galaxy S i9000GT, but I post it just to help you. Maybe this patch could give you some idea to make one by yourself.

I wasn't mad at you or anything...I knew you were trying to help, I mainly made such a big deal to ward off newbs...they may flash it. May break something then they freak out...wanted to save them.the trouble
Anyways...some of our best devs have been trying to fix it for quite a few months (entropy, jt1134...).theyve tried to use/adjust the I9000 camera patches...but still nothing :/
I just saw HTC in the address and assumed it was an HTC patch

Here's the fix for 720p recording.
I am also torn over the missing 720p recording, but I am still incredibly happy with JB! The only other major issue is the banding I get in photos, although someone had mentioned that possibly JB changed the shutter/refresh speed in the camera which produces the banding under fluorescent lighting conditions. Unfortunately I saw nowhere to manually adjust this.
The other major issue was the darn thing disconnecting from Bluetooth in my Toyota Entune system, but supposedly version 2.12 and the OC V2 Kernel fix the issue. Will be testing it out today.
I get the same lighting effect on my pics as well. Paranoid Android, is working flawlessly. Besides 720 and other issues, its a great rom, and good on battery life.
Everything is almost fixed, so we might get lucky w/ 720

I just wanted to update and say that the banding lines I was receiving seem to be isolated to a specific building at my university. I am guessing the JB Rom somehow changed the shutter rate setting and in doing so it introduced a "flicker" banding line effect due to the fluorescent lighting in the building. If I go outside, or to other buildings with fluorescent lighting it does not do this, so the bulbs in the original building must be perfectly attuned to a rate that interferes with the imaging sensor.
I haven't found a way to tweak or fix this issue, but as long as photos in most other lighting and outside are fine I am alright with it.
Please try this out and let me know if this is also your issue.

Unified builds introduced by CM not so long ago opened the door for using many other moto_msm8960 ROMs on Photon Q.
CM11 is in a good shape with M6 release coming out at the end of this week.
Everything is in progress. Naturally, we're mostly waiting for the pending 3.4 kernel source release for Razr M / HD by Motorola at this point...
Actually I've seen some phones modded like this on ebay, mostly offered from HK/SG. Though the colors were placed more usefully.
Still: Very nice mod. Awaiting the full guide.
The stock ROM used to have color control, allowing you to change hue, saturation....etc.
CM has removed this feature around a month ago. No custom ROMs or kernels have any color control beyond basic RGB sliders.
Does anyone know how to add this feature back in? Is there an apk or something that we can flash to get color control back?
I've been scouring threads for a few weeks off and on, and haven't found a solution. Does anyone have any suggestions/solutions?

It is a bit frustrating. Supposedly they are going to re-implement "color control" in a future update. For the time being though, we have no options.
