Kernel color control

I've been looking around and have not found the answer to my question anywhere. So here is my question. I'm sitting here looking at my vzw galaxy s3 right next to my vzw gnexus. And the whites look so much whiter on the nexus. Granted on the nexus I'm using francos kernel and have the color conteol tweaks going but I didn't think I would need to tweak the s3. I would have never noticed If i didn't put the phones side by side showing the same exact thing. . Otherwise this screen on the s3 is absolutely beautiful. But I can't seem to find a kernel for the s3 that offers color tweaking like on the nexus. Does anyone know of an app or kernel that offers these options. Thank u in advance.

I have been following the Trinity kernel thread by Morific and his app has/will have color tweaks enabled for the GSIII once he enables it in his kernel. I haven't purchased it just yet but based on a couple user's posts, the color adjustment side of that app was enabled for the GNex. That's what I'm basing this info on, the thread is in our Original Development.

Thank you for your response. I do own the Trinity app. I really hope he integrates the color controls into the gs3. Just curious. Has anyone else noticed this. My buddy has a gs3 and his whites look just like mine so I don't think I have a lemon.

I notice this, too. The whites have a bit of yellow to them.

Yes exactly. A slight yellow tint. Tgr gbex used to have it too with the stock kernel. Guess we just have to wait for one of our amazing kernel devs to fix this. Wish I knew how so I could contribute.

No problem man, I'm actually interested in seeing what color adjustment are about. This is the first phone I've had where that was potentially possible. In the last few weeks I've noticed yellowing on parts of my screen but only with select colors, I notice yellow mainly towards the bottom of my phone in various greys when viewed at angles. Is this what y'all are referring too? I notice it a lot when using the xda app cuz one half of the main categories across the top are lighter than the other half when I hold my phone in landscape.

Yes exactly what u are talking about. Actually the xda app is what I used to compare to with my galaxy nexus. Ive only had the s3 a few days now but I bought my GNEX on launch day. And with the GNEX I noticed the colors got worse over time. As soon as I started using the color tweaks it made my GNEX look like a brand new phone. I'm patiently waiting for these options on the S3

Likewise, I'm all for learning about this and reaping the benefits. In your experience with the GNex, would you use the TKT app to adjust the brightness across various kernels by other devs or was brightness control limited to just that kernel it was bundled with? I've only ever used SetCPU so these brightness controls using kernel apps are new to me.

On the GNEX I used francos app or ezeekels app depending on which kernel I was running. I never used set CPU for color control. To tell u the truth I didn't even know set CPU had that option.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

What I meant was I have only used SetCPU to control my kernels in regards to clock speed. Using these kernel dev branded kernel apps (or anything really) to also control color adjustment are something I'm unfamiliar with. The last version of SetCPU that I used, v2.x, didn't have that so you're correct about that.
I appreciate the clarity about which kernel app to use.

[app] brightness apps

Been several posts in Q&A, and in general about best methods for adjusting brightness. Personally I like the slider in the notification tray, but the app Q Bright is by far the best app I've used for this purpose. Full slider, 4 customizable presets, full app customizations, fast acting, oh yeah, it's free.
Thought I'd share.
It's actually Qbright one word
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

I like screen filter. It's free as well. It can make the screen go dimmer than with the notification slider. Q bright is pretty cool too. Wish I had a search key to long press to bring it up though haha

I've been using Lux for awhile now and it's been working great.

I also use lux, but everytime i reboot i have to open the dash to get it to work. I have the notification icon active, which always says for some reason 50% after boot until I click it. Lux works with tasker and i like that for profiling.

<quick hijack>I've been on the hunt for a widget I can pop in my homescreen that will jump between preset brightness levels. I generally keep my phone around 5% or so but when I'm outside I can't see that. I can pull down the notifications and adjust the slider but a button on my homescreen is much easier.
This one works pretty well but the icon doesn't center properly and my ocd brain can't take it. Plus sometimes it will just jump between 30%-100%...No idea why.
Sorry for derailing the thread
</hijack>

Saw that too, I couldn't deal with the off center widget either. I mean seriously, wtf? Who wants that on their screen?

the best app I have ever used for adjusting screen brightness and saving your battery would be LUX. It is in the Market for free but the paid options are far worth it.

Auto brightness from google store... i like that app... useful and great

Lux is wonderful

I've been using Brightness Level by Curvefish for over 2 years. The widget is perfect.

I agree. This is what I've been using for.months and love it! It allows you to set custom presets based on the current luxury, which you can use the default reader or even use the camera to detect. I use default, and set customs by long pressing the link button on the luxury widget.

The first time i flashed PAC ROM, the old version from the general board, it had a full screen drop-down, i thought it was pretty cool. I'm not sure why it was there or why its not now, but given that, I'm sure it is possible.

OK, i was able to duplicate it by using the phone ui in paranoid prefs, but it cuts some of the screen off. Maybe exposed-framework or some grunt work can allow for a resizing of the notification drawer,but not the rest of the system ui? Don't know

OK, i went to paranoid preferences/interfaces/workspace/system ui, and changed it to phone. Now it has the whole screen and full-screen notification shade. I'm using jelly am, but i imagine it would work with paranoid ROM or pac-rom too.

[Leak] 4.2.2 leaks for International S3

MOD EDIT: DO NOT FLASH THE FILE IN THAT ARTICLE, IT IS FOR INTERNATIONAL S3 ONLY!
I can't wait to see what the ROM devs do with this!
Includes some of the non hardware based goodies that the S4 has.
" New features include a familiar array of lock screen widgets and unlock effects, new display modes, a re-tooled quick settings area in the notification pull-down, a new driving mode and an updated version of the S Voice assistant app. Some of the headline Galaxy S4 features like "Air view" hover-touch abilities aren't included -- that's because they're dependent on the S4's internal hardware."

I'm pretty sure that everyone knows that already. Although thank you for pointing it out.
While AOSP is more cutting edge, I like simple functions like Bluetooth volume working correctly as it does on TW.

I have it on my other S3, along with ktoonsez's kernel. While the volume seems to be acceptable, I still get the static and clicking every now and then.
This post is not to compare TW with AOSP, some do like TW based roms.

I'm saying ktoonz does have a tw version of his kernel if that's what you prefer. You could try using the ViPER4Android app and mess with the settings to clean that up. I'm sure someone in that thread could point you to good settings. In not sure if fauxsound amplifies BT, but you could try that as well.

Your previous posts were pointing out that AOSP was already at 4.2.2.
I must admit, I'm a bit confused.

Just wanted to point you in the right direction to fix your Bluetooth issue either through ktoonz's touchwiz kernel, fauxsound app, or ViPER4Android app. You may need to tweak the settings a bit to your liking as i don't know how severe your issue is. Could be the phone hardware, a software issue, a rom issue, or the Bluetooth headset itself causing it. It's not something that's easy to troubleshoot online. Sorry if i lost you, I'm a bit sleep deprived. Sorry if I was vague or rude. On that note, bedtime. Hope you get your issue resolved.

I've never had the Bluetooth issue with a TW ROM, only AOSP.
Thank you for the insight though. Get some rest.

So once the International version gets the official update, we can probably expect to see it 3 or 4 months later thanks to Verizon.

I just read that article and watched the video. Looks like aosp but with a few design tweaks. It would be nice if they just fixed the keyboard in the update. Ha
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

I wish Verizon would leak more updates. Other phones I have had in the past had new roms almost every week. The Galaxy S3 has been a big disappointment in factory updates, released hardware, and support. Once Samsung neglected to release a decent wireless charge option and Verizon cold shouldered its users, I don't think I'll go back to Samsung. I miss my HTC.

I was looking into inductive charging. Verizon apparently offers a cover....but I can't find it.
Ha and yea the Verizon variant might see this update in September or November and it will most likely have all the cool things removed.....it's almost like they want everyone to root their phones

i just wish they'd have used 16:10 instead. i've got medium sized hands and have no problem using my n6 one handed and prefer the bigger screen. the 16:9 is just too cramped and barely bigger than my note 2 @ 5.5".

Well I do have big hands lol
Sent from my SM-N920P using XDA Premium HD app

I feel the same the screen should been bigger. Also my other complaints are minor. With tw app drawer why the hell does the app drawer not stay sorted alphabetically like every other version of tw. Also why no back light settings. Everything else is really great.

I see a you can sort by a-z in the app drawer..

If you install a new app it will go to the end of the list until you sort again kinda silly
