4.4 gives me eyestrain, need to go back to 4.3

[David Hunter2]

Bought a Nexus 7 (2013) because it didn't give me eyestrain like the iPad mini after the iOS 7 update. When I upgraded to KitKat I immediately noticed the same eyestrain and slight nausea that Apple devices and computers give me. I don't know what it is but it's in the whiteness of text and white spaces. It's too "crisp".

I need to get back to jellybean. Any help?

CyanogenMod it with the new one root program

Is that because they have a custom OS based on jellybean, or will it allow me to install the previous official android jellybean?

Does it help at all to change the font? (Settings/Accessibility)

And decrease screen brightness.
Settings/Display/Brightness

Not sure if its an automatic changeover (I installed it prior to my KitKat install) but has your device switched to the Google Experience Launcher? Is it that Launcher that is the problem, or could it be the solution?

Looking at this users post, it doesn't seem like he's on GEL. Probably stock launcher

I don't recognize GEL, so I don't think I have it.

Alexlam24, did you see my follow-up question?

The app ScreenDim allows you to change contrast as well as brightness. This may help with your eyestrain as the with the app you will still be able to have full brightness when required but a lower contrast will make it less intense.

Yea, you can try the CyanogenMod ROM since thats blue. Use the one root app
