--->> •• WORKING WHITE BALANCE FOR YELLOW TINT Z1 ••

[Emompong]

Hello Guys,

I'm here to bring some HOPE for those users who won, I mean who got Z1 from the lottery yellow tint issue. I am an XDA user since then and I found a thread saying that the Japanese version of Xperia Z1 SO-01F got white balance settings yesterday and the OP ported it to our Z1 C69xx !

I installed it and CONFIRMED ITS WORKING. Results are farm different from Screen Adjuster app from playstore and such where blue is really noticeably. Navigation bar also changes using this. Although I'm wondering why it has different sliders compared to those on Xperia Z (Hue and Saturation), it will give you a peace of mind that the nightmare has ended.

Here are some screenies:

You need to be ROOTED to have this, no other way. It's flashable through CWM but if you are just ROOTED and doesn't have CWM installed, you can just push the files to the folders and change permissions. (tell me if you need help on this one)

Here's the original thread with the download link from XDA :

If you're an XDA member, don't forget to hit THANKS to him. Don't forget to give Kudos   and / or mark the correct answer 

It would be much better still if Sony will provide an official solution for this headache issue.

Reply with results you got or problems you encountered installing, Ill help. That's all. Enjoy.

with the new update there is still no white balance ?? so now u will say that we'll have to wait for 4.4 kitkat ?

There's no white balance in .290 (which is the latest frimware).

I have the white balance setting flashed from the Japanese Xperia SO-01F - it changes the colors for sure - but they're still yellow / brown insted of white / grey

A settings for white balance is added in the latest firmware that we just released. The version is 14.2.A.1.136 but it may not be available in all markets yet.
