Is there any way to recreate the "Render Effect" Feature from CM7 - Nexus 5 General

Anyone who used CM7 might recall a feature buried in the settings (under display if I recall correctly) called Render Effect. It allowed you to alter the temperature of screen color as well as flat-out kill all colors but one. This allowed you to make the display go completely blue, or completely green or completely red.
Apart from being a nifty party trick, this was a feature I used routinely. Changing the display to red allowed me to use my navigation while driving at night and still preserve my natural night vision. It also was a nice thing to have enabled when the phone went off in the middle of the night.
So, does anyone know of an app/mod out there that allows us to achieve this? I really don't know why this feature was never permanently merged into the CM base, it appears to have disappeared in CM9 I think.
I have stumbled across some apps developed by ChainFire that appear to do this but unfortunately the app description specifically says it is for FroYo or Gingerbread devices only... see here

That feature has been gone for years , I have not seen a ROM with it since back in the cm7 days it was a cool Lil feature for N1 but its gone now . good luck tho, hopefully I'm wrong

IMO you can change screen colors with Franco kernel. It might be worth taking a look at.

Twilight is what you are looking for: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.lux
Yes, there is also lux, but twilight ist free

I'm also interested in this feature, and I've tried the "filter" apps including twilight and it is not the same at all.
Is this something that can only be done at a low level or can it happen in an app?

What's Red and Blue, and Makes Android Users Happy? Sapphire and Ruby Double Release!

A little over a month ago we made a promise, get us an HTC Incredible and we will give you a Rom. You, our fans and supporters came together and got us that phone. Today marks a major event for us and for you as well, for all of you that have donated and supported us we now give you Ruby, for the HTC Incredible! and for us it means we have now gone multi-device! We have been known all this time as the Sapphire Rom and this has always been incorrect, from here on out we will be known as Crystal Clear Roms(CCRoms), and each device will be its own specific gem in our lineup.

For Ruby we don't want to just straight port our original Sapphire rom to the Incredible, but that isn't a bad place to start. All standard features such as internal storage, camera, mms, sms, everything else you would expect to work does plus what has been added already to Sapphire. More phone specific optimizations will be added in the future, such as trackball wake, etc.

For all of you Sapphire users out there we haven't forgotten about you either. With this release you will see a refining of the volume rocker music skipping. We have incorporated the modifications from Alankila for Digital Signal Processing, makes for some pretty awesome music! Stagefright has been re-enabled, and all of the kernels now have the new interactive governer as an option in SetCPU as well.

Yup going to give it a try, sounds like a tump over CM 6.0.1 right now especially if you have internal memory mounted and reporting to where we can use it. Any news on the Kernel? Got anything special to pass along about it as far as OCing or battery saving features / performance features?
Anyone able to get GPS working? After installing maps, it won't pinpoint my location, closest I can get is to within about 1200 meters.
Great looking rom. I really like it. It has the same issues Cyanogen has for those keeping score: Apps don't scan the built in 8gb for files. (you can get to them through file managers, but your music/pics won't be found). Also BT streaming audio doesn't work. Otherwise though, top notch!! Also for some reason my phone think's it's Roaming?
Is Gmail FC for anyone else? I can't seem to access it at all... That is definitely not good for me..
I installed the Gapps and the phone stuck at the splash screen. Reinstalling the ROM / Apps now going to see if it will let me boot.

The true power menu like what comes on the Galaxy phones is MUCH more elegant than that.
I came from a Captivate and I miss it bad. I still pull the notification bar down out of habit to toggle different things.
I will be watching this.
Quick Settings is pretty good too and its free. Maybe not as nice as the one on GS phones.

I use an app called "Extended Controls"... it is very similar, but after trying both I found it to be a bit better (more features overall, but color selection on indicators is limited)
Extended Controls /=/ Notification Power Control
I use Extended Controls as well but it is *not* the same thing as what is being requested in this thread. A mod like this already exists on the EVO and DInc...and it is quite handy (plus it frees up some space on your screen.

Someone correct me if I am wrong but I believe the reason why Cyanogen isn't on the DX is because of the inability to load custom kernels onto the DX.

Work is still ongoing behind the scenes to bring new features to Oxygen which you will see in the next version, however for now we have applied the latest upstream patches and also updated Superuser to v3.0, the Theme Chooser is now gone as we have no plans to port support for it to ICS."

Are you rooted? Maybe you could try a different rom. I remember this happened when Chad (dev) was switching the rezound over to ion memory management.. Long story short the cameras had a purple tint which he said could be memory leak. So given that experience I think it could be software.

Make sure you have not set a certain non auto white balance, and make sure you are not applying a filter to all photos (the camera app can apply filters before photos are taken, the button at the right bottom). If they all checked out, then it's probably faulty sensor.

Nope. In custom ROMs for other phones (CM12 Pre-nightly) theres a button that clears all the apps in recents but its not present in stock Android.
You'll have to wait for the custom ROMs to come before you get this feature.
As far as I know there is not a way to do this. There should be in my opinion though. Maybe a mod soon

Oh ok, I thought it was part of stock Android. My bad. It really should be... lol
To be picky, they aren't running. From this perspective I am glad they don't have a clear all, because it gives the impression that clearing cashed apps is good or helpful.

Maybe your coming from a Samsung phone? I'm just guessing but that button exists as part of touchwiz.

Do. Not. Clear. All. Apps.
Not constantly. Not obsessively. Not hourly.
It does nothing to improve your experience but degredation in opening speed and CPU required to do so is possible. Some apps will even function incorrectly (bad design on their part, but easy to do)!
I'm NOT a fan of the new recents but clearing-all has never been a part of stock abdroid for a reason.

Without question you're right.
Problem is not all apps behave and not all of us are experts at identifying which app is the problem. This is where help is needed from the OS. And it seems like rather than making it easier they're making it harder (by requiring root to get certain usage data, i.e. GSAM).
Until then, folks will want a "clear all".

For me I'm not concerned about performance, but when you've got 40 or so different tabs to scroll through sometimes its nice just to close them all and start over. This is when a close all would be nice to have in stock android.

Its meant to be used for quick task switching. If you're trying to use recents to find an app older than say the last 5 or so, you don't want to be doing that.
Why they have to go so far back is beyond me.
If you're rooted, chain fire has an app (called recently) that helps manage recents. I set mine to show only actual running app and 5 more apps after that, for up to 2 hours. It also has a clear all button which as mentioned, should NOT be used.
If you want to root your phone you can keep it on the stock ROM and just install Recently by Chainfire.
