I'm on 4.4.2, and I have really ugly color banding on my wallpaper. Apps look fine. Is everyone else having this issue? How about with 5.0.1?
Try to use "Native" color space instead of sRGB.

That's a darn fine idea. However, it did not fix the issue. Strange that it only seems to happen on wallpaper.
I should have mentioned that this is only on live wallpaper. I have tried every combination of things I can think of in the Shield Power Control menu also.

Here is the live wallpaper from yowindow vs. the same image as seen from within the yowindow app.
I'd try getting a live wallpaper on your display that throws up that image (with some dynamic scrolling effect or something). That might be a one-off.

Hi Everybody
I installed adw launcher and tryed out some themes. but the themes doesn't mach the size of the screen.
Do we have to change something in the program for the themes to fit the screen? or do we have to find themes made for the x10?
from Norway sorry about the bad English
do you mean wallpaper? i don't understand what you mean by themes cause they all work...
assuming you mean the wallpaper, make sure the wallpaper size is 854 x 400 and it will fit perfectly

960x854 is the correct size to cover 3 screens.

still 960x854 ;-) it only moves less when you use 7 pages...
no i dont mean the wallpapers. but the wallpaper doesnt go over the whole screen aswell. but thats not the problem. you know. the notification bar and the meny bar can be scrolled down from the middle of the screen. i can't put my finger on top of my screen and take down the notification bar from the top. have to do it from the middle of the screen. hehe im not so good to explain but its like the whole theme is to small. not just the wallpaper but everything. does anyone know of a working theme for the x10 in the market place that i can test?
try THEME ONE, it is free and worked great for me...

Are you using ADW themes? I've never had an issue like you describe so not sure what might be causing it. In regards to your wallpaper, you need to drag the little box so it covers the whole image otherwise it just gets cropped.
I have tryed put some themes and it happend with 4 themes i think.
but i found some themes that everything works with.
i know about the box that you have to drag all over the picture. but that wasnt the issue. if you don't drag the box bigger you will zoom in the picture but the picture alwas goes over the whole screen.
but i fixed the problem now. it was only a couple of themes that was something wrong in the file or something.
thanks for all the answers
I can't seem to find out how to change the colors. Before I could select from a few colors (without having a theme). Now I just get grey and a dull yellow. Anyone know how to change these?
Nobody? So you're all stuck with dull grey and dull yellow chat bubbles too?
I'm talking without a theme here. Stock 7.0 update. No way to change those colors?

I just use google messenger. Can change contact colors on that one. Never knew you could on the stock messenger app.
I didn't think you ever could change the color of the bubbles. Prior to my S7, I had an S6 that I was looking to change the colors on. All that I could turn up was changing the background and that was about it.
You could definitely change the chat bubble colors on MM. I'm used to using black and blue bubbles but now I'm stuck with yellow and grey after upgrading to Nougat. I don't understand why Samsung would remove that option with an UPDATE lol.

Did some one figure it out? I can't stand the damn color of the bubbles. Grr!
this is bugging me too!! have we found a fix?
I've been trying to figure this out too. Along with the fact that keyboard is no longer simultaneously spell checking my words in two languages like it was doing before. It's frustrating. I have to toggle between language. No fun.
Just go to the theme store and grab a theme. I'm using a material design theme. Nowmmy bubbles are blue and white.

I'm right there with ya. Unfortunately Messaging is the app I'm in most. Had to make the skin change.

I just updated my OS [Verizon is always the last kid on the block to update anything] and I'm having the same issue. Before the update from Marshmallow we could choose which bubble style we wanted - now all we have is this sickly yellow and grey. Are we stuck with this?
Sent SMS
I have posted this somewhere else but it is not getting answered. Since you were talking about changing messaging apps, this seems like a good place to try again. No matter what I do, I cannot get previously sent SMS to show up in third party texting apps. I have tried 5 with the same result. Only the stock app shows the sent messages. Samsung S6 with 7.0 as of 5/9, but the problem existed on 6.0 as well. Thanks
I hate the grey and yellow mites colors too. Wtf?
the badges? yeah after the update they changed it to a hideous orange color and i haven't been able to change it back. i actually contacted samsung and they said it was deliberate. why? i have no idea. so gosh darn stupid.
Google messenger. I left using theirs on the S7.
Sooooooo, for the phone. All good, except when the statusbar shows in white while typing even if it was changed to black from the settings. Anyone have a solution or a workaround ? I want my statusbar black when I am typing. I attached two screenshots to show what I mean.
Also, tried with chrome and it was black , very weird ! Probably depends on which app being used.
Ugh, bro I was wondering if it was just me or what. Yes, this is very annoying.

Yeah, I did find that it seems to be present in all samsung apps, like messaging and settings. But other applications that you'd download from the play store don't have that issue!
Ugh!
yeah unfortunately samsung didn't implement a dynamic color navigation bar.
Try this app to customize it to any color you like: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.damianpiwowarski.navbarapps
I'm pretty sure that by default the app can decide on the navbar color.
Navbar apps was updated yesterday and now works very well with the s8. You can black out the navbar, set colors for when keyboard is open and even color the navbar dynamically based on the open app.
Do you guys have noticed that when you apply a wallpaper that is fully black, the color on top where the status bar is is grey? It is even more noticeable when you hide the status bar in Nova launcher than there is a grey bar on top of the screen. Now I don't know if that has to do with the aspect ratio but it is not so nice to look at in my opinion.
Sent from my SM-G955F using XDA-Developers Legacy app
It's normal. It's some sort of statusbar shade so that it's easier to see the statusbar on lighter wallpapers.
There's also one at the bottom where you usually swipe to open the app drawer.
Okay tnx but I haven't noticed it before on my S5.

I too had this problem with my s6 and now with s8+. I mainly noticed when i changed the themes with Nova launcher. But the thing worked for me is to apply wallpaper from Nova launcher(long press on home screen > wallpaper > choose). Almost every time this worked for me but u can try by switching the applying process from Gallery and from Nova launcher alternatively.

If you downloaded one from google search it could be an improper resolution. try search 2 ,WALLPAPERYOUWANT 2960x1440 then click the images or look for it to say that resolution in image details
example
Dragon Ball Super 2960x1440 if x doesnt work try * 2960*1440
Tnx! I fixed it with adding shadow on top and bottom in Nova settings

Have the same problem. With black wallpaper it is light at the top. With light wallpaper it is dark at the top. Wtf Samsung !!!!
SOLVED!
Hey there this threat is pretty old but I'll put it out there just in case anyone else is having the same grey status bar shade while using black wallpapers which I'm sure are still out there. So here's the fix I just figured and hopes it helps other. It's simple really! Apparently samsung has this irritating thing on the s7 and s8 I guess. So to fix it, just download samsung's goodlock app, install it. When your phone comes back on after the compulsory reboot, then navigate to "advanced" on the goodlock settings disable status bar dim background. That's all! Apply your black wallpapers and enjoy your amoled screens! Please share if it helped you.

Well, this doesn't look like it's working for note 5 or the APK doesn't download\work anymore. APK parse error when installing. I've gotten the apk from multiple locations with no luck. GRR, this is frustrating. I've also tried multiple launchers thinking it was that, with no luck. The suggesting to use the shadow settings in Nova don't work either.
Any other options?
Hi,
Do you also get a purple effect while on lock screen after pie update? And it goes back to normal only while unlocked ?
I'm thinking about reset the phone already...
That is an android pie feature.
It depends on the wallpaper main colour. Try to change it and you will see that it changes.

It's implemented by HTC, found a wallpaper that it doesn't happen.
I use the day/night automatic change wallpaper feature.
During the day, I have configured one with red and orange colours so the effect is red/pink.
During night I have configured one with blue and the effect is blue (light blue, in fact).
I think is quite cool this effect.
i don't get it can you show me a video of this effect

Try the following atachments "tech" as your lockscreen wallpaper and the other one(Harley Quinn) as your "desktop" wallpaper.
Then lock your phone... You'll see it get purple..
