Rog 3 display fully calibrated, no more color banding, black crush or red tint at any setting

So after some of you may have seen my "colorbanding defeated" topic, I have cleared the color banding issue and the next ones where fixing black crush (not pixalation, but dark scenes being so dark you cannot see anything) on very low brightness level and red tint, today I've finally done it. Finetuned everything to absolute perfection, the panel achieves lower brightness level even compared to other phones such as Samsung S21, Oneplus 9 pro, Sony Xperia II without losing any details to crushed blacks. Even at "0%" brightness, no red tint is visible on any videos, no matter how dark they are.
Now how was this achieved?!
As already mentioned from the very beginning when I first started the journey, this solution did require a dynamic solution. It's simply not enough to just have 1 calibration profile and hope it would work, you do need multiple profiles based on the brightnes for the panel in order to fix the panel completely. This is the first phone to my knowledge that does not suffer from any type of tint without minimum brightness being extremely high or IPS panel (after fix), most phones have green tint such as oneplus, samsung, Iphone and currently stock Rog3 has red tint. So far manufactuers have been trying to fix the tinting by upping the minimum brightness so that the screen cannot go low enough to have noticable tint, which I find a bad solution especially for a person like me who is quite sensitive to light.
To all who already have my solution, you know where the find the update 🙂
I hope the ASUS devs will also implement dynamic profiling on the rog3 screen as well, there is such an incredible potential. I also hope that other manufacturers will finally start doing the same, it's so sad to see so many great panels being under utilized because of nobody being bothered to handle it correcly.
I will derp a little more trying to see how low I can get brightness wise until it becomes impossible to not have black crush, after that I'll show you guys the incredible results ^.^

Could you provide some pictures? Sounds really strange to me.

@jerquait The app is useless without my kernel. That being said where did you even get it from? Pretty sure you didnt find the way to the actual source otherwise you would know this by now.

Bro I don't know how to unlock bootloader and these rom stuffs and Iam afraid of bricking my phone because Iam a layman in rooting stuff....that's why I just installed the apk ..I got that from youtube channel flashing is life... You this rog 3 black crush fix app seems to work but not 100% and sometimes makes black turn to grey but colour banding is reduced 90%.. still may be iam not unlocking bootloader that's why Iam unable to get full advantage...
But it seems like you have done a great job... Asus developers should learn something from you

WIthout the kernel it just isnt really working as intended. I do however understand that you're scared of unlocking bootloader which is fine.

The issue happens at random instances. If, however, I'm able to capture it, I'll share the images here

@Danishblunt Thank you so much for the fix! Just tried it out last night and black crush is gone in low brightness. Even the grainy screen is reduced too (especially on Discord app).
