Looking for an app/tweak/hack/kernel tuner/xposed module or whatever to adjust display colors. Franco's Color Controls only seem to adjust the high mids, and I need more control over mid-range and the tints of the gray-scale range.
Specifically, my display is orange-tinted from the low-mids to the mid-highlights. I need to make grays more neutral any color in the midrange less orange.
Disregard this comment.

I'm so confused... I have Busybox and Trinity Kernel installed as well as purchased the trinity kernel tuner, and the color settings aren't listed under "tunables" like it shows on the play store. Also the Trickster Mod kernel tuner doesn't list color options. Neither Trickster nor Trinity tuners list color options on Franco Kernel or Trinity Kernel.
What do I have to do in order to tweak the colors? This yellow-tinted display is messing with my eyes :/

trickster mod only shows and supports whats available in the kernel, the trickster app does absolutely nothing on its own. and trinity doesnt include color control.. yet. and tkt app diesnt support color control at the moment either.

Thanks for the help. Turns out Trinity color control was for Nexus 4 only.
Well, do you have any idea what DOES work for color adjustment on the Nexus 5?

You sure? I was using Franco Kernel and bought his FKU and it doesn't seem to have any profiles. It does have minimal and incredibly confusing settings to adjust gamma, but there's no explanation of what the settings do or how to use them, and from my trial and error it seems the settings only adjust the brightest color ranges (highlights and mid-highs). I made a thread about it. I'm very interested in finding a way to fix my displays colors...
EDIT: ok so I just found an app by Franco called Nexus Display Control. Will report back if it helps with my situation.

Sure man, go into the FKU app and choose color control and choose load a color profile and pick one. I liked Vomer_balanced a lot.

There are literally no profiles to load. Furthermore, that Nexus Display Control app is literally just Color Control module from FKU, which itself is only some miscelaneous gamma settings — far from full color control like it shows in the play store...
Is something wrong with my device? Am I doing something wrong? There's so much more to color control (as demonstrated by Franco's own pictures for his app in the play store) than a mere few gamma settings, so what gives? As I pointed out in the thread I made for FKU's color control, the negative and positive settings both seem to do exactly the same thing, and none of them affect anything besides highlights and high mids. I've been working on this since yesterday with the slowest internet connection of all time, I'm pulling my hair out trying to get to the bottom of this...

You're exactly right! I thought that was the description of the popup, I never would have thought it was a button, wow... Thanks!
Ok so I guess what it comes down to is whether you (or anyone) knows how to access the rest of the color controls other than the miscellaneous gamma controls? For example, as depicted in the play store?

Ok well thank you! Vomer_balanced seems to have neutralized my display quite nicely, but I'll probably play around quite a bit over the next few days. Hopefully others will contribute to the thread I made so we can make sense of the controls, and it would be really nice if someone found out how to access the rest of the color controls like it shows in the play store.
Again, thanks!

Sometimes when we read pdf books or surf on the internet at night in the dark environment, the while background make us uncomfortable. Of course we may use screen filter but it lowers the light and make the words unclear. So is there any app that can invert screen color like ios does? I think android need such app too.
RenderFX widget on cyanogen roms or (I believe) chainfire3D does this.
Cm's widget seems only to add another color on the screen as a filter but never reverse all the color.
Hey, I'm looking for exactly the same thing! It would be quite a good battery saver for the AMOLED screen on my Captivate.
If someone makes/finds an app that can do that, then it would be totally awesome!
-Mike
I'd really like this as well. Can anyone recommend an app?
Thread Revive!
I would be a happy willing customer of an app that can invert the colors of the display- like PowerStrip on Windows. I surely don't know of one though.
Total Screen Control just adds colored filters.
I don't believe this is that easy.
Probably would require more than just an app, i.e. a custom kernel.
Some apps like google+, google voice, market 3.4.4, google music 4.1.5.12 can be found themed for more battery on rujelus22 homepage!
rujelus22.com/evo/
please thanks if you like
I very much want this, too! I just found this thread searching for such an app. Not only would it be great for night time viewing and amoled power savings, but it would also provide some wear leveling/un-burn-in effects for the notification bar, keyboards, etc.! Say you use the inverted mode 50% of the time, it would completely counter burn-in from the other 50%.
Please, someone, do it and I'll pay handsomely. I'll pitch in $20 to a bounty, anyways.
It should be almost as easy as CyanogenMod's render effects or Chainfire 3D's night mode. If they can take each pixel's intended color, calculate that minus green and blue, and output the result, they should be able to take the color, calculate the inverse, and output that, instead. I'm not a programmer, though, so I may be off base.

Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust the "auto-brightness" so that it is a notch or two brighter than it is now? Currently, unless it's very bright where I am, the brightness stays at the lowest level.... I would like to use the auto-brightness, but it's just "calibrated" too dimly for my tastes... Surely there is some file that we can edit to change the brightness levels, etc...
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
In case anyone else is interested, I found a solution to my auto-brightness issues... The solution is a $0.99 app called "Lux (Beta)". While it is still in beta, it works great - I can adjust exactly how bright the screen should be relative to the lux value from teh light sensor (plus much more!). As of right now, I'd highly recommend this app! It will even use the camera to determine the light level if the lux value isn't returned properly from the light sensor!
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Hey jtrosky, I'm the developer of Lux. I'm glad you're liking the app! If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask!

hi
great site
I have never used auto brightness on any device. I always adjust it manually. I have found the auto brightness annoying and it drains my battery. I usually just set it as low as I can stand it. This lux thing found intriguing to me though. Thanks for the heads up on that. If auto brightness had a native way to set it for certain environments it may be useful, but the constant changing of brightness will drain the battery imo.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
thanks for the tip on Lux...it seems like a great little ap!
I find that the auto-brightness is also too low for my taste in low light environments. Might give a try to the lux app. thanks for the info
Something that would be nice is also to be able to dim the screen based on battery level, like for example being able to set the different levels in cpu tuner would be great to try to save battery automatically
I thought light sensor was not working on my TF. Thanks, Will take a shot at using Lux.
Just a quick follow-up... Still using Lux and it's been working perfectly... I love it. I wasted a few dollars on a few other supposed "auto-brightness" apps before I tried Lux (I was initially put off by the beta status of Lux), but none of the other apps worked properly or did what I wanted, so I tried Lux - Lux is by far the best out there now - check it out for $.99...
I'm still not quite sure I understand all of the options, etc though.... Even the four icons on the main interface - can the author please describe what each one does?
Thanks!

No problem!
(I'll bold the app name Lux so you don't get confused with the unit of illuminance, lux. )
The first button merely re-acquires the lux reading, if for whatever reason you want a new value. This is handy if you want to use Lux as a light meter, or if for some reason your light sensor decides to return incorrect data.
The second button is the 'link' button. Basically, pressing this button links the display backlight value (as determined by the brightness slider) to the current lux/luma reading. This link tells Lux that you want to set the backlight to that brightness when the lux is that value. So whenever Lux adjusts the brightness too dim or too bright, you just adjust the slider then 'link' it to the current lux value, and Lux then learns to use that brightness. Also note that Lux will interpolate these linked values (aka 'linked samples') so you don't have to do much linking at all.
The third button is astronomer mode. This saturates the display in a red colour, to make the otherwise harsh white light of the display easier to look at in low light. Astronomers are known to cover their phones in red cellophane to achieve this, and thus stop their eyes from adjusting from the dark environment to a bright phone.
The last button is where all the settings lie. Each setting has a description which should explain its function. To save me writing out pages of explanation, just let me know if you need help with a particular setting.
Hopefully that all makes sense.
Oh, and also, you may find the apps FAQ helpful. It's based on an older UI though.
Perfect! Thanks for the descriptions (I NEVER would have figured out that the hell the third button was suppsed to do!!).
I'm still playing around with all of the options... One possible enhancement - maybe allow the user to specify special brightness values for when the battery level is below certain thresholds.... This would help to automatically conserve battery life when the battery starts getting low....
Thanks again - it's been working great!

I've been meaning to add something like that. Will look into it.
Oh no - I've run into a pretty major issue with Lux - it seems that after I install and add the Lux widget, I can then no longer install any apps! When the app installer runs, the "Install" button is simply not selectable! As soon as I uninstall Lux, I can then install apps again. Just installing Lux doesn't break the app installer - the app installer doesn't break until the widget is added to the home screen. At that point, I have to un-install Lux to install any further apps....
Any ideas???
Thanks!
EDIT - I'm able to install apps from the Market, but not from .apk files (yes, I have 'Other sources' turned on).... Strange.... Hopefully, the dev can re-produce and fix this.

Hiya,
This app sounds useful! One issue I had was that in a no-light situation, I find the screen far too bright. Astronomer mode sounds like the fix implemented in Lux to deal with that; I don't suppose the screen brightness can be further reduced in an attempt to preserve more battery life in these situations?
I have an app which adds a semi-transparent layer on top of the image, making it darker, but it would not conserve battery life as its just beaming out darker coloured pixels, rather than reducing the brightness of them.

Actully, Lux allows you to lower the brightness to below the normal "lowest" setting as well, so it should do exactly what you want.... Well worth the $1 it costs!

You can see the linked samples by backing up the profiles to your SD card and then opening the file in a text editor. A sample editor is on my todo list, but really, you don't need one - Lux handles that for you.

Anyone seeing the Screen Color calibration tool under Settings > Display ? If you search for it in the Settings Search it shows it's there, but when you drill down to the display settings, there's no entry. Am I the only one?
CM removed that feature back in september, I hope they bring it back, I love it.
there are some kernels that let you tweak the colors a little bit, like AK and Franco, I personally use AK.

True, having the Color settings changes with Franco and AK is nice. But it was nice to get the colors a little more saturated using the calibration tool. I wonder why they removed it.

Wow Siddheshpatil, this is a great find!
Now I can play with the various RGB settings.
Thanks a lot
Now that Google has put out the color mode changes, we need a quick settings toggle for it.
A saturation scale would be great too.
I'd like to be able to set something up like boosted but slightly warmer.

Use a custom kernel (i.e. Snokes) that allows for this control. Then you can use a kernel management app to fine tune the display. I use EX Kernel Manager

If you absolutely desire such a feature baked into the stock ROM then I recommend purchasing a Samsung device, or some other OEM device that has said feature. Complaining about it here and shooting down methods to achieve exactly what you want will not make Google provide this feature to the Pixel devices.

It already is included in the rom. Under display. Natural, enhanced, and saturated. I believe what he is asking about is making it a quick setting. Which you likely already can do with app that adds customizable shortcuts to available tiles in quick settings.
