Is there some way to reverse the default color scheme for ALL apps (and settings) to Black Text on white Background?
like Galaxy Tab?
Wow... 161+ views and not a single answer
Just looking...
I only clicked on it to see why you would want a white background with black text
wouldn't that kill your battery as black doesnt use any power?
also i dont know if you could even look at your phone at night without going blind
Yeah, thats what I was thinking, you would kill the battery ubber fast and the screen would be so bright, thats why I was curious.
Mindyou, I have one of those 3500mAh batteries so it would probably go for 12 hours with the display permanantly on.

Everyone must know about the "Missed Call" app that allows you to change that top LED light to any color you want. The hardware keyboard lights are LED as well arent they?
So would it be at all possible to say change the colors of the keyboard lights to something other than white? A nice blue would be really sweet at night time, or red too. Is this possible?
Thanks .
I can't be 100% sure because I haven't seen the layout of the insides of the G1. However, I believe that white is the only color. The LED next to the speaker is a multiple color LED was made that way to warn you of Low Battery and such.
I would assume to save space that they are LED lights, heck they are on cheaper phones (like my SE w580i). They also are cheaper on battery power I think...
Just wondering if there are some API's to work with for that, if not oh well it was just curiosity but would be really cool though.
I took apart my G1 awhile back. There's a couple of pictures of the physical keyboard if you want to take a look at.

Hmm thanks for the link
Though from the pictures I cant really tell what the keys are, they look like round covered dots with mini dots in it...maybe LED under those? Maybe not at all?
I guess its impossible, no one has stated either way so I dont know...I really wish I knew where to look [in the code] to see if its possible [myself] buut its pretty close to Japanese to me..heh
Has anyone attempted to/willing to try to implement this on the Captivate?

This is really interesting. I'm into astronomy and it would be awesome to not have the phone blind me everytime I turn it on during an observing session to use it for google sky and the atomic clock.
Apparently no dev types are interested enough to tell us that they are not interested.

No doubt.
This thing is blinding even on the lowest brightness setting.
Yes, the brightness is pretty ridiculous. Is this because of the AMOLED screen? Can't set brightness below "blinding" due to no backlight?
I have heard that the leaked I897UCJH2 rom has a lower mininal brightness; which might help with the blinding brightness at night, and also helps bettery a bit.
Not sure if you guys are interested in leaked ROMs but I'm sure if Samsung does not release it that a cook will make a custom rom from it.
looks awesome
Bump.
I think this would be extremely useful.
/agree to post above me

Me too. I'm jealous of the iphone star map program. The authors were smart enough to make it all black and red. You can tell none of the google authors star gaze in their spare time with all that color.

on Google sky map theres a night mode option when you press the menu key.
I seem to recal hearing that at a certain point when the voltage is too low the screen will still work, but you see glitches/artifacts.
So im assuming this is why the min brightness is set where it is.

There is that very low brightness that occurs when you have less than 10% battery life. I wish they would make that brightness user selectable.
Even if the screen cannot be physically set below a certain level of brightness, it would be trivial to have the OS do the equivalent of putting a partially-transparent black rectangle over the screen. Sure, color fidelity would suffer, but it would be a welcome option anyway--I have seriously considered wearing sunglasses in bed.

wow, i think your right.
instead of trying to set the brighness lower just put a transparent gray object that sites on top of all the windows.
It would have the same effect and save tons of battery.
You can!

Search for a widget called Curvefish Brightness Level in the market. Set it to 0% brightness, which appears to be the same as the low battery life brightness.

the google sky map version I have turns black and red in night mode
if you watch closely on your N6, the display will go black/white right when you hit the power button to shut down the screen. It looks like ambient display and also reminds me of the galaxy's battery saver mode when the screen goes black and white to conserve battery. Anyone out there think that this can be enabled on our phones full time? I think it would be a great feature to have.

Yes, It's a setting in accessibility.

I know it converts to greyscale first then can change it to red, blue, green screen so I imagine there is a setting for remaining in greyscale. Have a look.

I can't see how it would save battery unless it was mostly pure black. The gpu needs extra work to convert to greyscale
In some watchfaces, when the watch go into low bit mode (black and grey colors) it lost quality and I wish to have the colors always
Mine does the same, almost all watchfaces, any fix?
Nobody can do it maybe, if a know something i tell you, but I understand that is normal in this watch

The black and grey mode is the "dimmed" version of the watchface, and is what the watch does when you set it to be Always On. Blacks save battery on the watch – however, if you want color, you're going to have to either find a watchface that supports colors on the dimmed version, or make your own. I use the app called WatchMaker, and you can customize which elements of a watchface to turn dimmed (black and white) or stay that way all the time.
Is there any way to change the color of the notification LED on the Note 8 without root? I'd like to change it for each specific notification (gmail, missed call, text, etc.). I have tried Light Flow with no success.
I use light manager, have been using it for years.
On the note 8 it works well for notifications, and works for charging but not as well as previous phones.
What is funny is there is a "LED Icon Editor" in the Notification Access area in settings. When I click to allow it to access notifications it goes right back off. I can't find this app anywhere else on the phone.

This is actually for the LED Case which you can customise the LED notifications
For anyone finding this thread later, LightFlow works with the Note 8 without root

The problem with Light Flow on the Note 8, though, is that it appears that, even though I believe the LED is capable of RGB, it gets some colors very wrong. It may just be custom colors that are the problem.
Light Flow also now does a bunch of other stuff, aside from the LED. You can have it filter notifications based on pattern matching, make a different sound, repeat the sound, use a popup, add vibration. It does a bunch of Notification-handling stuff and is a bit simpler and more reliable (in my experience anyway) than trying to use a cobble of Tasker + AutoNotification.
I also use light flow and I've had no issues once set up although I do have the colour differences, e.g. select white and the led flashes a purple'ish colour.
Other than that it's been fine, negligible battery usage too.

That setting is for the LED wallet cover/case Samsung makes for the Note 8 and can only be turned on after inserting the phone is to that specific case.
I use light manqger, since S3, then, the colors were accurate, but in my note 4 note 7 and now with the note 8, I find the colors missrpresented, no white, but a bluish tone, no yellow, but a somewhat orange tint, etc, so, I guess the led is not capable to display accurate colors, but, for me, that is not a big deal, the available color suffice my needs

Sorry to bump a 2 year old thread but does Light Flow work for Facebook Messenger for you? I can't seem to get it to display blue color for Messenger no matter which app I use for changing LED colors.

No worries, although I don't think I can help.
I no longer use Messenger however I did used to be able to assign a colour of my choice to it, but who knows how the app has changed in the last couple of years. Not only that but I have a Note 10 now which has no led light :/ Sorry bud

Thanks for replying. I found apps that work but all of them make another notification which is seen on AOD and it just bothers me. Ended up with default LED light and custom Edge Lighting colors for each app with the Edge Lighting Fix App
