test your physical color depth.

This prints 256 squares. Look which ones are dithered or not, the repeating patterns. A repeat every 4 means 6 bits for that channel, every 8 means 5 bits for the physical screen. click/touch to change the channels.
My android Archos tablet 10.1 G9 does rgb666, so 18 bits altogether.

// P.S.
//How TO use your own icons FOR android:
//1) clean project, "trash" icon.
//2) remove all types of icons IN project folder.
//3) IF you want the white frame, put there "icon.png"
// IF you don't want it put there the same image,
// with name "androidicon.png"
// The image must be PNG format, 72x72.
// [PNG is great FOR transparency AND other things]
//4) Rebuild FOR android, AND voila.
