It's a sort of dirty green-ish tint, right? After a months I mostly don't see it anymore. The readability however is good, and this screen so it seems uses little power. I can get an on- time double of my other mobiles, without any trick. My Acer notebook also has that tint - and a great usage times of close to 6 h.

Does Xperia m2 have X-reality? Can I have it on my phone? Thanks for helping me.

I don't see it in build.prop.
On my device the screen is set from factory relatively dark. If the screen brightness is increased colour reproduction and tint seem better, of course at cost. If you want to try that and still have auto-brightness without pumping effect, then try YAAB.

Request for a picture from someone who does not have backlight bleed

Okay, I know we have lots of threads with people posting pictures of their bleed screen. I want to request one member atleast who does NOT have bleed to post a picture of his screen here. I personally am getting a second G2x and since this is like my first phone in over 5 years, I'd like to have a picture ready for comparison when I get my replacement.
You could use this as a test page.

Alternatively, telekNesis has made a wonderful app for this exact purpose. Use that.
http://teleknesis.net/Android/APKs/ScreenBleedTest.apk
I've attached 2 images of my screen. One from far away, and one in close up. The camera brightness gets wonky when its far away, so a closeup is most recommended, and I'd like to compare this.
I would but my phone is the only camera I have at work
can post one in a couple hours
EDIT: See new pic

Thanks for the picture. But:
1. You are not in a dark room
2. your status bar is there.
We can't do an accurate comparison like that

Don't want to come off as an ass, but if you think a screenshot will show any display problems you need to think a little harder.
Thanks for trying to help Maris_

lol, @ screenshot, if only everything looked that black
Maris_ said:
I used SketchBook Pro and painted the screen black, set it as my wallpaper, used LauncherPro to hide the Navigation Bar, then took a screenshot in a dark room. As far as I can tell, I don't have any unusual backlight bleed. True, it isn't the deep black my Nexus One would have had, but considering this phone is backlit, I think I'm OK. (I hope this dropbox link works)

Is that at maximum brightness? Because, I find that to be absolutely fine. /jealous
My replacement is on its way and I think this is the image that I'm going to use to compare. Thanks again.

[Mod] Increase Max Brightness

WARNING:
Using this mod may decrease battery life, decrease screen life and/or quality, cause overheating, cause your phone to blow up or cause other damage to your phone. Use at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage this mod causes to your phone.
This Mod will increase the max brightness of your phone by about 10%.
Note:
Auto Brightness must be turned off for this to work.
Root is required for this Mod.
Instructions:
Download and run app attached to this post.
Or. ..
echo 1 > /sys/class/backlight/panel/auto_brightness
If you reboot or enable auto brightness you have to run it again.*
The best way to tell if it worked would be to run it when your screen is already at full brightness. You'll see it go a bit brighter.
Tested on T-Mobile Note II, but this may work in many Samsung Galaxy phones.
It worked!
Could you tell me why it can be increase?
And do you know how many nit when increased?
Thank you!

I don't know and I have no idea.
My guess is that when auto brightness is enabled Samsung allows the device to go a bit brighter in direct sunlight. This Mod seems to half way enable auto brightness so that the screen goes brighter but doesn't enable the light sensor.

The brightness limitation is at 250, this mode makes it 299.
Sounds a good mod just a bit weary of any damage

Thnx for the info, but will it then decrease the screen life? I think that the brighter the screen and the longer - the sooner it will get worse (old etc)

By this logic we should keep the brightness at 20 percent. The brighter it gets the faster the quality decreases in the long run.
I can guarantee one thing: when you'll change your device, this screen mod will not be one of the reasons.

I might have been wrong saying that. When i checked paranoid and applied the mod it didn't work. But today i tried it on galaxy s III with cm10 and it unexpectedly worked. So I'm not quite sure what the deal is. Anyhow I'm gonna take the chance. The brightness gained is too great.

Just want to be sure I understood correctly.
Every time after reboot or setting auto brightness I need to install this APK? No way to make changes permanent?

You need to run the app every time, not install the apk.

You could easily make a script that would do the echo at boot. Im no expert but I think it would happen from /etc/init.d. I'm sure someone smarter than me will chime in hopefully. ...

Using tasker to run the program at boot its the way to go. The problem is you have to run the program every time you activate auto brightness. Solution to both problems: use perseus kernel. It includes this mod.

Possible to change the color of the menu and back hardware buttons?

Good morning all,
I had a thought this morning, after messing around with my Continuum. Is it possible to alter the color of the GS3 menu and back buttons. I'm not really interested in enabling a softkey mod. Rather than white I'd kind of like to change them to cyanogenmod blue. I just think it'd look cool. I'm running CM10.1 and I see that there are options to change the longpress functins and such but nothing about the appearance of the buttons. Maybe they are just white LEDs that illuminate them but I thought is was worth an ask. Thanks in advance for any info.
Peace,
Ray

I realize there are many uninteresting ways to accomplish this. In fact, I could use a blue sharpie and color over the screen protector in those areas if I wanted to. Not exactly the answer I was seeking.

Well, with my Continuum I am able to do a mod to the framework and change what are actually soft keys but appear to be similar to our hardware keys. On the other hand if I use the Light Flow app I can alter the color of the notification LED. I was wondering if the LEDs for the 2 illuminated nav keys can be modified, via a script change, to illuminate a different color. Like I said, if the LEDs are white only then that's that. But if they can display multiple colors it'd be a pretty trick mod. That's all.

I'm sure they're just white. When the notification LED shines white, you definitely get three different colors, which morph into white. The hardware LEDs ONLY shine white. Phone companies try to keep the cost down as much as possible, so if they were to include colored LEDs they'd DEFINITELY make use of them! Its a good idea, that would be really cool

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.

But the boot.img inside in Aosp roms isn't different from the stock?Did you mean if I found any custom kernel I will increase also saturation?

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.

[Q] CM12s is messing up the color on custom kernels?

So I have flashed CM12s lately and I'm happy but I do love boeffla kernel so I have flashed it too.
The problem is, the colors kinda mess up (yellow-ish extremely oversaturated screen)
I changed the color calibration and screen color settings to make it look more natural but it's just isn't the same.
Does anyone else has this problem or knows haw to fix it?
EDIT: Franco works, metalized doesn't.
