Light vs Dark - Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers

How many of you are using using dark mode? I am using the light mode in dayllight and dark theme at night so the auto dark theme is a nice thing.
I was using dark mode most of the time but started to get a lot of headaches during the day.After switching to light mode when there´ś daylight it´s easier for my eyes and I´m feeling good. Anyone else had a problem like me?

I prefer light mode. If dark mode was dark grey everywhere like it is in Gmail etc then I'd use it.
Pure black looks awful.

Dark does improve the battery life and I was dark mode, all day, everyday. However, I wanted a change and went with dark mode only after sunset. Now I'm back to all day again just to change it up again. I agree, light mode during the day is better.

I don't think it's worth the effort on unlocking bootloader for it, it's the only extra feature I'd use

It's worth 100%.For me it's the best rom I've ever used on Pixel. You get a lot of extra features. Pair it with ex kernel and you get petfect stock android experience.

I mostly use light mode (Belo theme) but sometimes will use Swift Installer after sunset!

New dark theme for the forum request

Hello guys
I was wondering how possible could it be to get options for the forum skin on the user personal preferences?
I would really like a dark color for the forum, is easier on the eyes.
Thank you
seems that you are a weird guy
Brightnes colors are easy for the eye, you know (have you ever heard about that you must to watch tv with lights on!?)

They are better if there are other sources of light around other than the screen, however if the environment is dark a darker screen will be easier on the eye.
I am in front of the monitor as my only source of light most of the times, so for me a darker skin would be great.

[REQ] Holo Light Theme for IceColdSandwich and/or AOKP/CM9

I am starting to get tired of the dark holo theme in ICS (for example in settings, calculator, camera, in the keyboard, statusbar, etc.) I have been searching all over the place for a white/light theme for the DHD but haven't had any success.
There is the Syk Sky theme for the Nexus (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654546), after flashing my phone wouldn't boot.
The Reloaded ICS mod is fantastic (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23275045), and my phone will boot and work with it, however it always crashes after about 3 min.
The closest I could find was Ghost (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681710), but I really miss the blue accents.
Does anyone know of a theme/mod for this? I have the feeling I'm one of the only ones that wants the Holo light, not dark theme.
I've tried to make it myself, but I don't know anything about programming on Android or the android resource management, so quickly failed at that. If anyone would be willing to make the theme I'd gladly pay money for it (although everyone like free themes ).
Thanks
Been working on this still a couple of weeks from completion. Not sure if this is what your talking about.

Cool theme! I was looking more for a "classic" ice cream sandwich look, with the accent blue, just not with a dark background
Absolutely agree. You are not the sole one, for sure. I'm second.
Happy with TouchWiz 5 theme now, but ghost theme is just mind blowing.

Guys, I found these two themes. They aint fully emulate the look n feel of holo light, but they would surely bring out something.
MasterUIv4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688250
Aluminium: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1655946
Among em, Aluminium is just amazing!

Like the first one from [email protected] Light grey and Orange. Simple but smud

Iris scanner in the dark

Hey guys,
I just noticed that my Note 8 does not scanns irises in dark room.
I remember that note 7 was doing that.
If there is a bit of light source, it works pretty quick, but if it is pitch dark, even if i see my eyes in the upper part, it says after a while that irises were not recognized.
I had even tried to register irises in pitch dark, but without success.
I have even tried face scan .. it works only if there is light towards my face. Otherwise, nothing.
Is it yours different?
Thanks!
Mine works in the dark. I'm actually quite impressed how well it works altogether. Was really skeptical about it all at first.
Try putting a complete dark wallpaper on lock screen ... and try again.
It seems that mine got a bit better as soon as i added a bright lock screen wallpaper.
Black wallpaper in pitch black it unlocks for me.

More color settings?

Bought the US version and Like the phone but I see only two color settings. The srgb mode is too dark and dull and would be better if I got to add some more saturation to it. The colorful mode is too colorful and the reds are too extreme. Are these really the only two options we get?

Yep. Unfortunately they completely stripped the Chinese ROM in bring it to the worldwide community in favor of a mostly vanilla android. They also stripped out gesture navigation which was in the Chinese ROM and is actually baked into Android Pie! SMH.

Sad I guess I played myself. Even the honor 6X I have now came better calibrated than these 2 extremes and the display on the 6x is inferior. Is it really that difficult adding a saturation slider or color temp controls? I can tell the panel on this thing is pretty good but having the colors blast my face on colorful mode and everything looking dead on SRGB is BAD with no in between. I guess I should have been more patient but now I'm definitely going to look at the phones in store prior to buying. And I suppose software support isn't a meme either but lesson learned I'll do my homework next time. I don't bank on maybes when it comes to expecting more features added or potential roms looking at the red magic mars because that would fix a lot. Thanks for the reply.

Yes there is. If it's regarding reading at night yes the feature exists.

I am planning to switch from Galaxy S10+ to ASUS Rog Phone2.
The S10+ has night mode feature to enable dark mode. Wondering if the same is available in ASUS Rog Phone 2.

I think you guys are talking about two completely different things. One is taking about an automatic dark theme change, depending on time of day. The other one is talking about the night light, which just reduces the blue hue so it's easier to sleep at night

I think you are right. I am asking about dark theme which can be switched on all the time in the latest Samsung Phones.
I am not too concerned about the night light as that makes the screen yellowish, which I don't like it enable anyway.

Dude i was clear on what I was talking about from my first post, i don't know why you didn't state the obvious!. Anyway what you meant to ask was is there a "Dark/Black theme" and the answer to your question is yes, is it system wide yes too add to that most of the default apps that come with the device have a dark theme option in it that blend well with the system "Dark/Black" theme.
To access the theme there are two ways either from the "Themes and wallpapers" system settings section or from the "Developer options" and here is the funny part it's under the section "Night mode" it can be set as "Always on" or "Always off" or "Automatic (based on time of day)

That feature of auto light/dark mode on developer mode has disappeared for some reason. Maybe the new update. I can't seem to find a way to do it even in settings. It's either light OR dark mode but not automatic
