just get FKU and use the colour profiles to adjust it, all the screens will be slightly different colour depending on manufacturing run so you have to tweak it to normal manually

from your OTHER thread thats the same.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54123818&postcount=4
every single screen will variate, every one will be slightly different. and the screen color itself will change depending what kind of light you are standing in. his yellow screen might look much better in sunlight or fluorescent light, then in the incandescent light you are in.

What is FKU?

The yellow screen will get whiter with use. Give it a couple weeks

Franco Kernel Updater... it's one of several kernal tweakers. A custom kernal like Franco allows you to change the color profile or if you install ElementalX, you can choose a pre-defined cooler color profile during the installation without the need for a kernel tweaker.

If you ask me, the right one looks a little bluish :silly:
If it does wither away (I doubt it), well and good otherwise you will need a custom kernel which supports gamma calibration by which you can set profiles to change the color.

I don't think it will but this is the perfect opportunity to test it.
OP, report back to us in a couple weeks if there are any changes. I think that most people's eyes just adjust to the slight yellow hue but with another screen to compare against, the difference will remain visible.

Unpleasant 'sensation' when swiping 'notifications'...?

I may be alone, but my thumb gets a quite unpleasant 'sensation' when I swipe 'notifications' at the top of the device, it catches on the glass below the speaker grill. It's so annoying I may have to take it back...anyone else notice this?
Hoping I posted in the right spot...
I haven't had a similar issue.

It's where the glass meets the speaker grill, even my son noticed it, maybe it's not placed correctly, I'll have to try another to verify..
its yours', believe me. i've had 5 sensations so far and not one had that issue. exchange it.
I think you're putting your thumb up too high on the screen...
I feel a coarse area there, no reason to swipe that high though.. Not even registered on the screen.

You might be right, I'm so used to HD2 and iPhones, G2x, all swipe from the extreme edge...hmn maybe my habit..I'm reluctant to exchange it as it runs so well... I may have to compare at a local store...Hoping it's just one poorly placed screen...sigh, I love this phone...but can't live with the current swipe...
Maybe you should buy a bigger cell phone......

exactly, it's the way the phone was built, so I don't think a replacement is gonna help.
Kinda noticed it, but it's when you try to tap the "htc" logo on top. Just tap on the notification bar instead. problem solved

Yeah, I'm going to have to change my hd2/iphone/g2x habit....I did go to the store to check out another sense and the T mobile girl agreed, it is a smidge elevated and coming from totally flat fluid screens would make a difference..will re educate my thumb...loving the phone...maybe I ask too much?

Black clipping/black crush on the Note means you can see blotches of black all across the screen when you have black on the screen. So in some videos with dark backgrounds you'll see these clusters of black pixels/whatever all over.
The severity of the problem ranges and I found it bearable sometimes.
Hmmm...is it every note or just some defected ones?

HTC one X gets my vote. Have had a good play with this over the last few days and my favourite HTC phone yet.
Well the first htc I've had was the erid and loved it. I tried newer htcs since and didn't like the raised screen and from what I was told the x has a raised screen

International note hands down. I don't like One X has no LTE (if this is available tobu, if not kinda useless), non removable battery and no SD slot. Tegra 3 is pretty quick though

Any chance of it coming in white?

I don't know about you all but I'd love a really white (ie no black screen with a white backplate) n5. So far the leaks make the phone look really ugly and cheap. I know we buy the nexus for its guts and software... Not its looks but it may look so bad in pictures because of the matte soft touch black paint. If you examine the pictures closer it has a very clean design.
To get to the point, this phone would look really elegant I think in white. Not since my original g1 have I had an all white phone, AMD certainly not a white nexus. I know beggars can't be choosers, but if Google ever wanted the nexus line to be a commercial success instead of just a Dev line for their new software, options like this would be awesome.
Given that zero of these leaks have revealed anything other than a black phone, I'm SOL.

Well white would be nice however all the leaks show a matte back and we all know matte white doesn't work(HTC One X)

Not that this means anything, but some of the case makers have renders of it in white. Regardless, i think google likes the oreo look of "white" devices, so i dont think they'll make a white bezeled phone anytime soon.
may be released with white as well...

Here's my quick (And bad) photoshop of how the Nexus 5 should really look like in white based on the leaked box's images.

Yeah the image looks legit as it follows other nexus packaging and the N5 displayed on it as a black front face just like the white version of the N4

Rounded Corners : The best mod for OP5T screen

Hi,
Just installed rounded corners app from playstore..
It has completely changed the look of the device..
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thsoft.rounded.corner&hl=en
Now it looks more like S8 and Pixel 2 XL..
Please do try...U will surely love it.
Also an additional edge light feature is there where the screen edge will flash if a notification comes[Only when screen is turned on].

Isn't the 5T already equipped with rounded corners on the screen? Or are you making it even rounder?

I actually just flashed 8.0 AOSP and am liking the non-rounded corners since it's showing the entire screen. Maybe I'll go back to rounded corners eventually, but nothing more rounded than stock.
I installed rounded corners the moment I got my hands on my 5T
