[Q] What is MDNIE?

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.

[GUIDE] CM9 Auto Brightness Values

*These values also work for CM7*
I personally take no credit for this as i was searching how to set proper settings for my auto brightness using Team DIRT v1.7, so i searched all over Google and came across these settings that were recommended by the user "brkshr" over at rootzwiki, so all credit goes to him as i'm only basically copying and pasting what he has over there, hopefully it's not a big deal, if so, we can always remove this. They seem to be working just fine for me, but if any of you would like to give it a go, go ahead. I'm not responsible if your phone blows up, make a nandroid backup before you ever play with your phone settings. Shout outs to Team DIRT, CM Team for everything they've provided to us for our beloved Evil (Evo) OG (4G). If you don't find it too much to ask for, please thank the guy i bit this off of. "brkshr"

First, I think you mean Deck's Reloaded ROM. Second, if you want to emulate the number of levels in the OP, just hit the button at the bottom that says "set number of levels."

i haven't heard anything new on the compass so I'm assuming it's working just fine, i use googles maps without any issues so i would say yes it's fixed. as far as the auto brightness features, if you follow this guide, it will set your values up in a sense that it covers all types of lighting situations. i tried it out yesterday in doors and out, i'd have to say i was quite happy with the results. very responsive as well.

Am I doing something wrong? I tried following the steps here but my screen was so dim that I could barely see it indoors.
I am on Deck's Reloaded and I changed the number of levels to 20 and tried to mimic the settings but didn't have any luck. When I change the number of levels the "upper" value (that can't be changed) are all 0...Do I need to do something to change that? I tried just going through and setting it like in the attachments but maybe I did something wrong.

Change the entries under "screen" to something higher until it looks good to u. I like mine a little brighter, so I started with "0,80,0" as the first line, and then increased as I went down the list. Hope this makes sense.

I think you guys misunderstood my question earlier. Last time I tried cm9 (about two weeks ago) the custom auto brightness settings could not be changed, they would revert as soon as you exit the menu even after hitting save and apply. Also the time it took to adjust to changing light conditions was +10 seconds and basically unusable. (I saw in the changelog it was this way because they werent able to get custom auto brightness and the compass working at the same time). So am I to believe this is not the case anymore?

no longer the case. make sure your auto brightness is actually checked.. i was having issues until i realized it wasn't checked to begin with.

Works well on CM7 as well :thumbup:

Lower min auto brightness mod?

This has been a popular mod in most other devices, but haven't seen it here yet with the hox. Is it possible without source? Have you seen it in any roms(I haven't)? Anyone else care for it?
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

It's a mod that is stored in the framework-res.apk, so yes it's doable, I have it done on my phone

Very doable, I would imagine that sane auto brightness values (just bright enough, not so bright that it becomes blinding) would reduce battery consumption and increase screen on time a good deal.

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.

Quite a bit really because currently it has to use workaround for night mode and stuff or has to turn itself off before you install an app. Benefits are listed on that page. Do you know/help make one?

I made my own automatic brightness using Tasker. It checks the ambient light level and adjusts automatically.
Even though it runs constantly it is not a battery drain. My theory is I am saving more battery by keeping the brightness low. It works better than stock. I used a threshold that checks the ambient light to the previous reading level so it does not change every few seconds.

The task executes every time the light variable change. Then I have some logic to only adjust when the change in light level changes enough to warrant a change in Display.
It is only 11 statements. It is tailored to my light sensitivity.
You can play with some of the variables to adjust to your eyes. It does does a lot better than stock.
Just don't pick immediate change, it caused display and stream issues.

This thread derailed quickly...

This thread sure did derail... I too would love to see a Note 3 lux plugin developed. What this will do that tasker will not is the color changing modes that lux has. Currenly night mode and astronomer modes affect the black areas of the screen as well as the colored areas. with this plugin for the note 3 this should be fixed. not to mention improve contrast.
Also i doubt that tasker is able to lower the brightness lower than what samsung allows through the normal brightness selector. I personally like to set my brightness very low in bed to read. and I would like to have it in astronomer mode but it actually makes it brighter without the plugin.
