My Brother-in-Law asked me the following.. Can someone assist in answering this question..
On iOS, I use two accessibility features extensively: Zoom and color inversion
By making some Accessibility selection, I enable these two fingers.
With a three-finger double-tap, I can zoom the screen. The entire screen image is zoomed. I can then adjust the magnification level at any time Also, I can scroll around the screen to see the parts that are now offscreen since we’re zoomed. I use this al the time since I can’t easily see small print on the tablet.
Next, if I triple-click the Home button, it inverts all the colors on the screen – this helps me because sometimes I can’t make out dark text on a light background very well. The inversion makes light text on dark background which is often easier to read.
OK, nice apple features.
ICS has font size adjustment, color inversion, and contrast.
Touch control, talking robot feedback, voice control, to name some.

By default when you are on your 9x9 Panel arrangement screen, when you switch your XPERIA between landscape/portrait modes, your panels will start to move and flip along their long edges as they turn over and reposition in the other orientation.
Well this time press the Panel Settings button so that they all turn over and have the briefcase icons, and switch between portrait/landscape modes.
When transitioning from portrait to landscape mode ONLY, you will see that your panels flip along their short edges, making for a VERY surreal 3D depth to the transition. Transitioning back to portrait from landscape while in the settings mode is normal once again (Panels flipping along their long edges).
I think it's a programming error in their PanelManager.exe and they overlooked it I think the flipping along the short edges is way cooler though..... Maybe there's a hidden registry value that could be created to set the transition effect hehehe.... but that's doubtful as usually only Microsoft codes stuff to make use of hidden/non-existent registry values if suddenly present. hehe.
COOOOL: While in settings mode with the briefcases, tap on any panel so it comes in to center view and then change between landscape/portrait. again, the center/large panel will be flipping on its short or long edge.... looks neato overall hehe.
Hi
I have recently installed LeeDroid 3.0.7, its mostly great.
The thing I have noticed the most which is a bit annoying are the changes to the notification panel, while I love the fact its now transparent it has this white lighting effect on it, starting from the top left gradually getting darker until it reaches the bottom right.
I understand these can be referred to as the lighting gradrient or spotlight effect.
Basically its too dark, I want to lightening it up.. make it brighter. So I can read all of the text when I have 3 or 4 notifications.
Thanks

Hi! I have a 9506 variant, with a screen with slight color difference across the screen from top (cooler gray) to bottom (warmer gray).
I know, there are many such cases on samsung's amoled screens, and I also found that Cyanogen has a screen calibration, which can change the temperature for the whole screen. But is there a solution to fix not the whole screen, but partially, according to each screen's characteristics (user adjustable)?
You're probably looking for a screen filter app with adjustable overlay.
Though I don't think there are many apps with such a feature, as there aren't many requests for partial screen overlays.
Try CF.lumen. It was designed to adjust color temperature on the fly.
Does anyone else find the Always-on Display very dim? Is there any way to brighten this either via developer options or adb?
The clock itself doesn't bother me too much, it is mainly because the icons are coloured and not greyscale like they were on the previous huawei phone I had. If the icons were b&w then it wouldn't be too much of an issue. Having them coloured but very dim makes them difficult to see at a distance of more than 1ft.
