Hey guys May i know how do i change voodoo colours setting on slim bean + air kernel r171 voodoo colour enabled? I tried downloading voodoo control plus but couldn't find the voodoo colour settings Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance. :angel:
Try a different kernel first.. could be a dodgy kernel.

There are options for this. See bottom part of voodoo sound. And the kernel is good

No.I think he's saying the settings aren't there therefore he might of flashed the kernel wrong or something so voodoo colours aren't showing up. He should try bedalus kernel that supports voodoo too. If it doesn't work on that then he's done something wrong.

Maybe someone can explain some about voodoo colors to me... After flashing Air 171 voodoo, my screen looks awesome. The blacks are super dark and the whites are super bright and the colors pop. It's like night and day compared to other kernels I've run before (presumably without voodoo color). The other day after running the kernel for a few hours, everything turned this nasty grayish greenish color (I mean every dark color looked washed out and nasty). I tried a bunch of things to troubleshoot including wiping and a different ROM, and came to the conclusion that it was the kernel. After I flashed back to Matr1x, the problem went away, but so did the nice looking colors.
So my question is: is voodoo supposed to make the colors darker/more vivid? When I flashed Air 182, it looked just like the phone had always look, kinda bland in comparison. So now I'm back on 171 but I'm scared it's going to goof up the colors again...

The dark, nice colors come from changing the gamma hacks. The amazing, deep, crisp colors do however come with a price. What price? Well you experienced a little of it, the green flicker. Turn your brightness a little up to avoid it, no big deal. That's not the major problem. Changing the gamma hacks causes your phone to "age" quicker. Meaning it will basically get worn out faster and eventually will lead to damaged colors and OLEDs (permanent). Not for a LONG time, UNLESS you max out the gamma (-50+ is dangerous). I had mine at -59 and -60, now my screen is damaged. Forever. I have piexalted errors and over saturated colors, especially noticeable on black and whites (and now reds). And i have some overheating issues too. Lower gamma = more heat. If I change my gamma settings, nothing happenes because I've broken the screen (then again, I recently had a cheap screen replacement done so part of the reason is the cheap screen just sucking). Lesson is be careful when you mess with the gammas!!!!!!!!! The reason the newer air kernel had different colors was because r_data changed the gamma values (but be did it to get rid of green flicker, I presume) from his last build.Now I am looking for a job to by myself new phone And of course have some money.

So I'm curious why it's called "flicker" then... for me it's consistently green until I flash a new kernel. I kinda figured that was what I was experiencing, I was just confused by the verbiage. Anyway, it's a shame that these screens have the potential to look that good but dong so ruins them...

Using the stock OEM screen I had gone for 8 months of perfectly fine colors. A week of the new screen replacement I had then it was dead. If you used gamme values that are lower on the stock screen it'll last a VERY long time, you'll get a new phone before anything happens for sure.

You can lower the values, just do NOT go passed -50, stay -45 and above.

I can't see how changing the gamma make the screen wear out faster. We're not talking about multipliers here, or refresh rate or anything of the sort. We're not going out of spec but simply changing the already available settings. Burn in exists already even on the stock settings, so don't be too quick to blame the problems on Voodoo.

The creator of the Voodoo app warns people not to max out the gamma settings, because they can destroy your screen faster.

You wrote - and + though. Still cannot conceive how exactly it is possible to break something faster while operating it in the normal range. Are you sure he is not talking about the multiplier settings and not the gamma settings?
The gamma settings only affects the level, from darkest to lightest of every separate color (RGB). Think of it as deciding on 100%, how much of each color there is in the picture. You can't do 110%, maxing out every slider will only give you a white picture, but that's only every channel at 100% intensity.
I imagine that could make your screen "die" faster, but just as much as having a white wallpaper as opposed to a black one.
I cannot comment on the multipliers, not being sure of what exactly is touched when changing them.

This is what I mean by your gamma offsets. I assure you -45 is not normal. 0 on all of them is 2.3.3 defaults. You're forcing your screen to display different, darker colors than normal. Which does use more heat on the screen. More heat = not good and can lead to permanent damage on any surface, let alone a glass screen.
Don't get me wrong, Voodoo can be complelt harmless. So long as you don't max out any of the settings. Never use -60, that's just... no. Slight changes like punchy settings -14 - -18 (I believe) really don't have that much affect. But when you start forcing the screen to get darker by using -45 and under.. Yeah, its not good.

Except this is not how it works with most displays, and certainly not with an active matrix OLED one. To display black, the RGB channels are at their darkest setting, which uses the less amount of energy. If that, it would even be more beneficial for the panel to use darker settings than stock. Hence my questionning.
Edit: To add details, I do not mean all type of displays, but rather OLED based ones, may it be PMOLED or AMOLED or any other branded product (Super AMOLED and so on). The cells are in off state when showing "black" hence why the blacks are so deep. Off cells = less power, and less power = less heat dissipation.
So now I've realized another related conundrum... If I turn the brightness up, apparently the green goes away, but obviously that causes my battery to die faster. Normally, before I started messing with voodoo color, I kept my screen on auto brightness which generally kept it pretty dim. I got pretty awesome battery, at one point 30+ hours on a charge. So my question is, is there no way to have the nice looking gamma hack colors and also good battery and/or a dimmer screen? Do I just need to play around with the settings to achieve this?

Depends on how low you set those values in Voodoo colors. It's a mix between low values in Voodoo for the gamma offset settings AND the brightness.
Some kernels don't have Voodoo but have preset colors that are very good and vibrant and do not have the downsides of Voodoo such as green flash.
Have any recommendations? I've tried matr1x and air on jb, didn't really do much with kernels before then.

I'm currently using knzo CM+.
It has BLN, BLD, touchwake and colors can be modified in the system settings if you're using a CM10 based ROM. The natural blue colors are very close to perfect colors, slightly need a tad blueish tint on my phone.

Im trying to find a theme that is efficient and uses low power. I read that there are certain pixel colors that use less energy then other colors.
As an example it uses more energy to produce white pixels then it does to produce black pixels.
I have a SGS vibrant and im trying to determine a good theme that uses low energy ... like black froyo but I want to know if there are other colors that are better in color use then all black.

Each pixel is represented by 3 subpixels. Each one is 8bit number. The lower the numbers of each subpixel, the lower power used to display pixel and darker colour (You can check it in gimp or photoshop ). But be aware that darker colours won't give You noticeable power savings. More You can achieve by reducing brightness.

I know that its not going to be a noticible change in power consumption but anything helps when you use your phone in excess of heavily.
I was also reading an article (I think it was done by google) about subpixels. They were cutting out or shutting off specific ranges. Since each pixel has an RGB subpixel structure they would run a power test that eliminated the B from the RGB so only RG showed. Or if the subpixels value was above a certain amount to "Kill It".
Do.you know if there's any app's that allow you to reproduce this subpixel killing?

Seriously, I don't even think if I read something 'bout it.
PS. : I've checked Your phone & it got amoled screen type ( I didn't check earlier ) , that means that using darker scheme/theme will probably give You bit more than slightly improvement with battery life.

With LCD screens how ever, I don't think you would get any power savings at all. OLED screens use very tiny amounts of power. I'd like to see if you can get any measurable improvement.

So I just got my Asus transformer and I'm all happy with it. there's one tiny little thing though: It's too bright for me at minimum brightness.
I know people have been complaining about the thing actually being too dark - but at low light it is just too bright for my eyes.
So, is there maybe a work around to lower the brightness even a bit more?

Get an app called "Lux (Beta)" from the Market. It allows you to set the brightness below minimum (among other things)!

or, manually adjust the brightness settings under:
Settings --> Screen ---> Brightness
He said that he already reduced it to the minimum in settings and it's still too bright. That't why I recommended Lux, since it allows the screen to get dimmer than Settings will allow...

Have tried screen filter and until recently was the only option that did anything to lower brightness sort of in honeycomb. I was not crazy about it because rather than darkening the screen to lower brightness it seems to overlay a darker transparent screen so while darker contrast etc seemed to be affected.
As for the other app mentioned here. It is beta and costs money and nothing in market description says it goes lower brightness than stock settings.
That said I just discovered a free app in market that not only can lower brightness all the way down to 0, but allows adjusting brightness contrast as well as red blue and green. It works great!
it is called screen adjust. Even has widget so you can preset a dark setting if you like and one press enables it.
I also have mine set to the minimal brightness & was lookin for a way lower it to. This in hopes of squeeking out a little mord battery life.

The free version seems not to do that. Just a soft dim. Maybe full does?
Try touch blocker beta. It is free and also allows you to set up dead spots (unresponsive areas to touch) for carrying or reading without F'ing up the screen.
How do I do this? I can't use my phone if it's dark, my retinas are burning!
Did you try that?I can't help you and I expect you to get a satisfactory answer.

Not especially. If you see ScreenFilter taking a lot of juice, reboot and it should be fixed.
As for AOKP or CM9, you can set the lowest level to 1, which I frankly doubt is too bright for you. Default lowest is 20.
I'm here with my Nexus S that has AMOLED screen tech. Now it is common knowledge that inverted apps (the black) saves a lot of juice. It's also known that reds are the second best (to black) for battery saving.
Recently I've switched to a red and black theme to try and save the MOST battery possible. Truthfully I'm starting to miss the blue and black, but saving battery is more important to me. Well... If I'm saving 'a lot' more battery that is.
I was running a blue and black theme, before a red and black theme. I'm kind of not sure what to do now. Go back to blue and black, which saves battery and looks nicer (to me), or stay on red and black and save A LOT (supposedly) more battery?
So my question to you is... Do reds really save that* much more battery than blues? Would I notice a large difference in battery life (a reduction) if I went back to blue and black?

There is a negligible difference between any single color on a samoled. The only time you will see a noticeable difference in power consumption is between white (all colors on at once) and black (no colors).
I don't think I have your answer, but for LCD i9020 ones what colors help with battery?

Depends on your brightness. If you don't feel it makes that much difference then just go with what is more aesthetically appealing.
@063_XOBX: There is a large difference between reds, greens and blues in comparison to blacks in AMOLEDs. See here and here.
@g1user101: No differece whatsoever. The only thing that uses noticeable power in LCDs is the backlight (brightness), which is uniform across the screen at all times while it is on.

Not very much and likely not noticeable. It'll begin saving drastically more at higher brightnesses (i'd say 25%+ for easily noticeable results).
edit: also, if it only replaces the blues (switches, clock and tick boxes? little else)it won't change much at all. For any worthwhile difference, you'd also want to be changing the colour of white text. Even so, the processor would probably be using more power than the screen if you're using a typical black/xx theme at <10% brightness.

Okay so... I had left my phone idling while I went to shower and I turned on my screen and then ... BAM! The colors became extremely over saturated and just wrong. It is not Voodoo, because the problem persists even during the boot and in CWM. I cannot describe it that well but to anyone using a phone you would know that something is wrong. Did I break my phone screen's color? It has never done this before. I have no idea what is happening.
I'm realising now the screen gamma hacks isn't working. If I change the value nothing happens. The RGB multipliers work. I've tried changing kernels already.

The colors have gone from totally over saturated to "stock" colors now. It seems Voodoo is destroyed on my phone... In CWM the colors are still overly saturated.
I'm going to leave my colors as default 2.3.3 colors for a little while then try and use Voodoo again.
For now, has anyone experienced this and what can I do to fix it?
Okay... Now a new problem is introduced. I was backing up my apps with Astro (as I ALWAYS do) and the process kept going down (in %). It would go up then go down, at a really rapid rate. I have no idea what is going on. It took 20 minutes to backup what takes 5 minutes. So I'm guessing this is an SD issue...? I have no idea what is happening. It just finished backing up and is continuing to say "Loading packages".
I'm going to flash a new ROM and kernel... We'll see what that does.
Tried flashing a new ROM + Kernel and restoring from a NANDROID, NOTHING is working. Can somebody please help me.....................

My phone is also experiencing heating up fast.Typically my phone would average and normalize at 32 degrees. It now normalizes at 38 degrees...... It gets a lot hotter a lot faster.
I recently repaired my phone screen at Pacific Mall. So I'm wondering if they messed something up in here. Also I've been running a custom Voodoo colors that has the gamma hacls at -59. I'm wondering if that could have destroyed my phone screen.
Even if it did that wouldn't explain the other two issues that just emerged.
I am reaching a conclusion that my screen has been "burnt in". I don't want to say its unfixable yet because this literally happened after I turned my screen on from my phone idling. Its getting slightly worse all day but I have Voodoo settings off. So I'm going to try and let my phone die and leave it off for a little while I guess....
PLEASE ANY INPUT OR SUGGESTIONS ANYTHING USEFUL you can say would be greatly appreciated........ I'm not going to be able to get another phone for 2 years... I really need to fix this.

Burn-in is bad point for amoled, you cannot avoid this.
Did u tried download burn-in tester from play store?
And next step is installing factory image again..wipe everything, re-install bootloader..etc

I tried the tester, I don't think the phone has burn in now. But something is wrong. I really don't think reinstalling everything is going to fix it. I think its this cheap screen Pacific Mall gave me.
I've figured out a better way to describe it. The screen gets way too saturated and is VERY pixelated while showing black and whites.

I tried going back to stock and everything, rooting all over again and they're still here. Raising hell won't do anything because its Pacific mall...

I don't think burn in is the proper term. I think that's when an image stays on the screen. This more or less definitely sounds a cheap screen. I have no experience with any of it, but please provide a pic, OP. Hopefully somebody can help. Even if you did get it repaired, you need to check your receipt/ their policy for this stuff. Return it to stock and work from there.

Your Nexus is fscked. Seriously, if the colors are all messed in cwm, there's not much we can do. I believe there's 2 different oled panels for the Nexus S, both with digitizer integrated obviously. I recall reading about someone complaint about getting the non fitting one. Besides, have you done the install yourself? Are you sure everything is properly installed? IIRC the person touchscreen didn't work right either with the "wrong" panel.

I ended up taking it to phone stores and everything. Its the screen. No way around it...... Moral: Don't cheap out on repairs.

I don't have a choice. I just paid for a screen replacement to be given a defective one in place. I can't complain to the people who did it because they're in Pacific Mall, if you're in Canada you'll know that's a waste of time. I have no money and I'm looking for a first job. When/if I get one rather than pah another $120-240 I'm just going to buy a gnex. So I'm stuck with this for however long. Its a pain but I have no choice... I tried a factory reset, tried sticking with no voodoo colors for a week, tried changing ROMs, tried unrootinf and returning to stock then back again.. Nothing works.
