I use the made in China version. So I'm not sure which display this has. But I would like to have a bit vibrant vivid display. So is there any way to increase the screen saturation on mi a1 device? Please don't suggest any custom ROM and kennels. Thank you.
from whatever display you're using it's not possible to add vividness to the MiA1 screen.. it's somehow native that way, in times you'll get used to it.. well I did at least..
moving from Mi4i with MIUI interface it's possible to set an appropriate a comfortable saturation available
but for the moment being you might be able to get a vivid color (saturation) using a third party app (I never search for it though)

Flash a custom kernel like void or franco kernel and adjust colors and saturation.

Thanks for your comment. But is it possible to flash Franco kernel without even rooting?

My only question its- why? I haven't noticed the color being off on mine, have you?
If you put your tab beside a calibrated monitor you will. But I'm not suggesting the tab 'should' be perfect - they do have a tendency to err on the cool side of things with green or red being the lesser of the gamma.
I would like to have control over the RGB but it's unlikely anything will ever be available. I'm dubious of that app linked to in the OP - though I'm sure it work.

No, not "off." I just wanted something to increase the saturation of my screen, by increasing the levels of the RGB pixels.
I agree, actually. The Iconia could use a saturation boost.

I guess I should have done my research about OLED screens, but I feel that this screen is way too dim both indoors and outdoors. Is anyone else having problems with this? I know that the peak brightness is 475 on autobrightness, but I feel that the screen never reaches that. On another note, the colors seem very saturated and unreal even on movie mode...
Is there any way I can set the autobrightness to kick in at a higher lux indoors? I know it seems like I am venting, but I really like this phone but the display brightness may make me abandon for the Nexus 5...
Thank you everyone!

Root the phone and install a custom ROM. That will give you the ability to change the auto brightness levels easily.
You could also turn off auto brightness and set it manually so you fan boost it all the way up whenever you wanted.
As far as the hardware capabilities the screen is capable of being plenty bright. I could see mine if I was standing on the face of the sun.

I don't know much about custom TW ROMs as I run aosp exclusively. I know its easy in cm ROMs. If its not a native feature of Omega I'm sure there is a mod you can tweak it with. You would have to search though. I don't know where to direct you.

Some of you may have noticed it's difficult to watch dark scenes in movies on the gpad. I think the problem is the gamma calibration, you can see it clearly on the pictures I took.
https://imageshack.com/i/nf96iaj
On the top you can see my nexus 7 2013, you can differentiate all the shades of grey from 1% white to 100%.
On the gpad, everything is solid black from 1% to 12% of white.
You can find the original image here : http://imageshack.us/f/594/6291.png/
How low can you go, on your gpad, before the grey melts with the black ?
Do you know an app to apply gamma correction ?
Here you can see the same picture on the N7 and the gpad. You can't even distinguish the guy's ear on the g pad.

I see the difference, and I knew it was there already also.. I'm sorry, but apparently gamma is not something that is doable. - I was looking to link you the app from market called "Screen Adjuster", however you want to look at this description, especially the last sentence. ;/
- dimming the screen 15-100% (below minimum system brightness)
- screen color and a contrast adjustment
- system brightness 0-100% adjustment
- functional widget (on/off, system brightness, settings)
- autorun option
Some phones have a color tint screen. This app have a possibility to try to improve colors on this kind of the screen by setting an additional factor RGB.*
The range of the dimmer is from 15% to 100% (it allows to dim the screen below a min system brightness value). Make a relief for your eyes during a nightly reading.
Furthermore, you can change fast the system brightness too.
The additional contrast factor can try to make the reading or a picture viewing more comfortable on some screens.*
The widget provides fast on/off service with a shortcuts to the Adjuster settings and the system brightness settings.
The application has the autorun option which works with the dimmer set above 22% (for the safety).
Note
A gamma adjustment is not possible to do.
You can of course try and download the app anyways and see if contrast or brightness will do anything for ya.
- In case you do download the app, remember that setting contrast low will result in problems with installing apps, as in you cannot hit Install, only cancel. To avoid this, open up Screen Adjuster and turn it off, install the app and turn it back on afterwards. It's something about lowering the settings to lower than what is "intended", I don't quite understand it and I find it rather odd. But it let's you install apps.. So I guess hooray.
That's all I got.

Thank you for your response, but I'm already using screen adjuster. I set the contrast at -25 and it helps a lot to see dark details.
Unfortunately, it has two side effects :
- it brightens the dark shades of grey, but also the black levels.
- I noticed that the contrast setting also affects the white making it look like light grey.
So the contrast setting in screen adjuster doesn't affects only the dark tones like it would on a monitor or a tv, it affects the contrast ratio.
I've found apps to make gamma adustment but it only works on some devices with custom kernel.

Yea, I was about to say that gamma can be done but only on custom kernels. Lot of Nexus 5 stuff on the market. Apparently it's Google who locked the gamma settings completely down but only in 4.4.2. I guess it may work on stock LG Kernel since it's only 4.2.2? I'm afraid we'll have to wait for some kernel support for other roms. That would be awesome. I really hope for some Franco-kernel-glory on this device.
That's what I thought, we need to wait for custom kernels...I hope it will come soon, because it's so frustrating to have such a good screen with bad calibration !
People tends to complain too much about the warm white balance but the gamma calibration is far more concerning.

Hi there Young Bobbie, I am new to posting on XDA so I couldn't post this in your kernel developer page. This is my first post on any forum page ever. First off, thank you very much for your hard work to make this kernel happen to correct gamma on the v500. I have been sitting on the fence whether to get the gpad, and if i would get the v500 or the v510. Was leaning toward the v510 because of Sleekmason's wonderful kernel work, but it's exciting that we have now have the same options available for the v500. I noticed this was working fully with the Malladus ROM. My question to you was whether or not this worked with stock LG ROM as well? Thank you again YoungBobbie and Sleekmason for your time and creations.
Sorry, just answered my own question. Guess it helps to read the very first line of the page (making fun of myself now ;-P) Thank you again YoungBobbie and sleekmason!!!

Folks,
Anyone facing issues screen color over saturated with stock rom? Any one had any tools or apps which can re-calibrate or fix it?
If you have rooted your Axon 7, then you can install the Color Control app. This app will allow you to calibrate the screen color. Should this app doesn't work, flash the KCAL kernel patch for adding this feature to the stock kernel.
Enjoy!

No, the kernel doesn't support this hardware feature and the app requires root access to modify the settings. So the only way is unlocking the bootloader and rooting the device.

Isn't changing the default setting to "natural" enough though? I find the color quite washed out with that mode. TBH the main problem for me isn't saturation but rather contrast: colors seem to "melt" with one another, particularly on 3D games
Display --> screen effect.
I keep mine on gorgeous and normal and it looks great. I like punchy colors. Shows off this great AMOLED screen.
Hi, since our Mi A1 display is quite pale (and color calibration is inaccurate), it would be fantastic to have KCAL support in order to use for example Kernel Adiutor to calibrate the screen (as we can do with Redmi Note 4 global on Lineage OS rom with patched kernel). I have tried with Color Changer Pro but it's pretty limited (saturation change give poor results).
Now that the sources are released (even if nougat-based) , it will be easy to apply using the guidelines in this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/dev-kcal-advanced-color-control-t3032080 ?

well it's too early to demand anything in kernel as far as i saw devs here all are in try to make custom roms well I don't think it is much necessary (we are on stock already) we need custom kernels first so if a one developer should work only to make kernel source stable it would be great and yes this features would be implemented but we have to wait
in a month we can get android 8.0 stable kernel and OS i think

I have seen hundreds of mi a1, screen is far form perfection, colors are under saturated and contrasts are poor. G3 had poor colors too. Redmi Note 4 has the same problem (and a quite similar panel), but with kcal I was able to do big improvements to the screen. I attach an example.

I see what you mean... still i don't think there is much of difference for an ordinary usage.. for such low level device I don't think we (I) should have expect anything different and in the end ... it is still an old IPS technology so for really sharp and accurate colors - AMOLED. In the end it is a matter of taste and as this device is yours you should be able to modify it up to your taste.
I find colors of mine very close to what Nexus 5x delivered, which was supposed to be very accurate. AMOLED is usually anything but calibrated, punchy & nice, but not accurate. But there seems to be a great variation of different LCD panels in Mi A1, so I was probably the lucky one..
