I'm an absolute android nooblet. I'm coming from Windows Phone 8.1. I preordered my phone from Amazon and it is due next weekend. I'm trying to research Android/Touchwiz. With the WP OS you can set your screen background to Black or White. Black with white text or white with black text. After watching several hours of videos about this phone and the OS I always see a white screen with black text. I was hoping to find out if you can have a black background with white text as it saves globs of power on my Lumia 920.
P.S> I know I'll pick things up really quick once the phone arrives but if you can link me to and tutorials, guides, essential app list I would be very grateful.
Thanks for your time

I noticed after a few days of using it that in many programs (tasks, contacts, calendar, & others, but not ALL programs), the screen is marked by gray horizontal lines or bars which fade out towards the left side of the screen. I wondered if it may be a problem in the screen protectors I use (Belkin), but the fact that the lines do not appear on the screen in certain programs seems to negate that possibility. Is anyone familiar with this?
Those lines are part of the theme that you are using. If you're using an old PPC2002 theme rather than WM2003 theme, sometimes the colour of the lines is too dark which makes it really hard so see what's on screen. Try changing the theme back to the default WM2003 one
not good
I have 2 options for the TODAY setting in personal settings - "spiral" or "windows default." I get the same lines with both options. They are more a light blue color when I choose the Windows default Today setting. What can I do? Those lines look like crud, to be frank, and a very faulty design.
Maybe you can dowload an other theme at www.pocketthemes.com and see what you can do
Good Luck
PS: Or make your own theme!!! :wink:
all the same
Sorry to say, I have tried various themes, including very light color and pastel - I still get the light blue lines going across the CALENDAR, TASKS, etc. I hope someone has a fix for this. Does it happen on everyone's PDA who use PPC 20003?
Well this is my first ever cab to change anything on the HD2.
Of course it is the simplest thing. All it does is change the slider
on the Lock screen.
The slider is Red w/a closed padlock when locked
and turns green w/an open padlock when you tap and slide it accross.
I've attatched screenshots.
I'm clearly a noob and am just enjoying adding a little colour to the
phone.
Hope someone likes it
oh and i found that you have to do a soft reset for the changes to appear.
I've now updated the slider so the colour change also takes place when the slider displays a number of SMS / Email messages waiting.
nice job
Thanks for the support. I've just updated it too, as I'd realised that when a message was waiting, the old slider was appearing.
Nice touch!!
Great job!
Good Job
Any Chance of toning down the colors abit to much...
well done
Thank you
That is great and thank u so much for adding color to our poor black and white life / screens of HTC.
Can u also add some color to to the, black & white, "fast list screen"?
The screen in which u have the options of: Turn off / Lock device / Define vibration..... - the screen that appears before the lock screen?
as requested here is a verison with a more muted colour palette.
the file is: red slider 2
there is also a new file called very berry slider
which also adds berry colours to the SMS and Email sliders on the lock screen.
dark blue/purple up state and dark raspberry down state.
you'll see, files and images below.
the colours look a bit brighter on my computer screen than they do on my phone. fyi.
Nice work my friend, nice little touch, keep up the good work
hey, thanks op. adds some nice colour to the screen. cheers bud.......
edit: any chance of a cab using the berry colours but in the bright version, like the first red one you did, the bright one looks better
Hello, I noticed the color stripes that appears if the black text is on white background.
They are seen best at low brightness. They can be seen for example by opening office. The strips come from "notes" to "documents" to "locations" for example.
Especially in text documents. I tried to photo this but failed. So I made photoshop picture. Here it is. Is this a defect or a feature of pentile display?
I've noticed this on my Lumia 800.
Never noticed it on my Dell Venue Pro.
never noticed on my omnia 7 too

it's having only on office hub, but not on games hub, so I am not sure it's for any screen issue.

Because game hub have gray background, not white. Try to enable light theme and you will see stripes everywhere.
Like load"" said, try using the light theme first and see if stripes shows everywhere, if it does, then I assume its the screen itself because of pentile and clearblack, if it doesn't, try hard reset?
I've suspected for a while that my phone has issues with it's colors, because I can't seem to use any background without it pixelating (text mostly) or shows very unsmooth color transitions from black to white.
Whenever I select an image for wallpaper, the part outside the orange area has a browning overlay on the colors that just looks wrong.
Images full of colors look very good, it's the black and white ones with fading from dark to bright that looks horrible.
Could someone do me a favor and download this image, set it as background, and tell me if it looks clear and good on your screen, and the text looks good.

It seems like I keep running into problems with this phone
Thanks in advance.
Hello!!!
Is your screen has pure white colors with a little of bluish tint or a maybe yellow one? Is the white color cold or warm? You can check and see the screen tint if you open the stock lg calculator and look on the top part (the screen where the numbers are written)
Thank you!!!
Yellow here.
mine too I had LG G2 before and it had pure white tone... I prefer the cooler tones. I would like to see more answers....
yellow for me too. Actually, the hue shifts when you place it on a table or so, then spin the unit slowly. It's making me nuts
so all the units of g pro 2 have yellow tint?
yea me too but i love the screen it is great
well if you follow the OP and use the calculator app, and look at the "top part where the numbers are written"... then yes, everyone will be yellow, since the app itself is a yellow/green colour at the top. the bottom part where the numbers you press are, it's a grey colour.
I'm not sure how that is a reliable method to check screen tint.
surely, you'd use turn the brightness to 100% then use the LG "hidden menu" screen test to bring up a white screen to see if it's got any tint? which, when I do, is a pure white screen. no hint of blue/cool colours/yellow.

on my lg g2 the top part of the calculator was grey and not yellowish. the app itself is light grey on the bottom and darker grey on the top.
Is it possible to adjust the white balance or something else in the displaysettings?
