OpenGL gradient banding on Android

Question

I\'ve got a live wallpaper out on the market which uses OpenGL to render some basic shapes and a flat plane. The simple lighting creates a gradient effect across the plane,

Answer 1

Looks like it really is the GS2's display, or more accurately, its dithering algorithm. I tried upping my requested config to RGB888, and this is what I get (from my test user's phone):

So it really seems like the GS2 just does a horrible job of dithering when trying to map colors in an 888 space to a 565 config.

Now I'm not sure if I want to up the config to 888 across all devices (better quality but a performance hit), or only on devices which I know to dither poorly. Hmmm.
