[Q] Voodoo Color

If the kernel you use supports voodoo color does it work automatically? Or do you need support apps like for BLN or voodoo sound?
Voodoo color works at 100% brightness only
Do I just blast the brightness and it works?

Do people know pressing the notification bar sets the brightness?
Left is lowest middle is middle and right is highest, so when I don't use it,
I put it in lowest and when I do, I put it highest for better quality.

That is such an awesome feature! Just slide your finger across the status bar left or right and voila!
Rock on!

That is pretty cool, they also make widgets that you can quickly control your brightness. The one I use is made by curvefish.
The above works as long as you have auto-adjust brightness turned off.
Just wanted to save a few it doesn't work on my phone posts.

[Q] Do you have burn-in on screen of your beloved SGSII

[Q] Do you have burn-in on screen of your beloved SGSII
Yes I do have a screen burn which looks like the power off symbol on my bottom half of screen. I have no clue where it comes from though... Never had something like that shown on my display.
It is only visible on brighter gray and if you look close so since I prefer colourful wallpaper I only see it sometimes when pulling down notification bar

I have it also a tiny spot 2mms across which is seen on gray and brighter colors, not that much, almost nothing on dark colors.

Yes, I have slight burn-in from the AOSP Clock (time and the buttons at the bottom).
I've got one above the misdemeanor towards right corner of the screen. Gonna replace screen, never seen on previous exchanges models.

[Q] You can change brightness by swiping the taskbar?

I just got the AT&T Note today and I notice I can control the screen brightness from ANY screen by doing this:
1). Press and hold the top taskbar
2). Swipe left to reduce brightness - swipe right to increase brightness
Is this a Note feature or a Kernel feature? I am rooted using Odin.
It is a Touchwiz feature, AFAIK.
Its called status bar, and its touchwiz feature.

Question about wallpaper brightness

New owner of a note 2 here, with a question about my wallpapers. I set my wallpaper by selecting set lock screen + home screen, and they look different once set.
The difference is that the lock screen is brighter than the home screen, and the home screen is zoomed in further, cutting off a small portion of the picture.
Does anybody know why the phone keeps doing this? I can set them separately and get the zoom issue fixed, but the brightness is always different, no matter what I try.
BTW, I see the difference using the factory launcher, or Launcher Pro +
Couple of pics, to show what I'm talking about...
Thats because you have the ripple effect option on, it makes the wallpaper lighter so you can see the ink effect with the pen easier. If you disable the ripple effect then the brightness will be normal.

Also try using QuickPic from the market to set just the homescreeen wallpaper. It should give you better sizing options.

Display brightness

Hi everyone!
Got yesterday my Z2 from Taiwan, awaited it so much time, and finally got it!
But seems like lcd brightness not such bright as i wish to be. Don't you think so? Or maybe lcd brightness on your z2 satisfied you at all?

I agree it's not bright enough especially on auto brightness. I set the bar all the way to the brightest and it's reasonable only. But if set manually then it is definitely bright enough
Can anyone confirm how bright the display really is? Nits? I think brightness is an important aspect.

Can't give you nits but it's definitely bright enough for me. Also seems whiter than Z1.

I thought the brightness was not bright enough from the videos.
Brightness is more than enough (enough to hurt your eyes ) if you turn off auto and slide the bar all the way up.
