Hey Guys! Well here my situation. I really like this phone and it's features and would buy it in a heartbeat IF the accessibility settings could accommodate me.
I am visually impaired and was wondering what the accessibility settings are for the visually impaired? On the iphone there's this setting for "white on black" which makes the background for the apps black and the font white. Others call it night mode? I need background to be black and fonts white on the web browser. If you guys could check on the for me it would be nice. Thanks.
Android has some Talkback functionality (not sure what that is) and large font options, but I did not see any reverse colors option sadly. If you need it for all apps, then that might be tough to find, but maybe there are some web browsers or somesuch that support this.

Are there any themes out there that have a "night mode" option that you can toggle on/off (like you can with google sky map) when using your phone in the dark? It would be nice not to be blinded after responding to a text when out at night.

The program is designed to work, if it's not, we have a problem.
hmmm, I don't know about themes but I know cyanogenMod has RenderFX so you can change the values of pixels to certain color. (like change everything to shades of red)
Probably doesnt help, but i figured i would toss that out there
Why not get a widget like switchpro and turn down the brightness ...or do it for free in the settings menu.
Many of us are rocking AMOLED displays on our devices now, and there's no telling how many hours of battery life I've burnt up viewing the forums here with their light yellow/white backgrounds. Please throw together a dark theme for us so we can double our battery life and spend twice as much time here!
Black and dark grey background elements with grey or red text would be awesome. Visually, I prefer the current themes, but it would make a big difference for all of us with AMOLED displays, since a black pixel isn't burning any energy, but a white pixel is burning as much as possible (unlike LCDs where the backlight is on no matter what color is displayed.) Also, my girlfriend will greatly appreciate it when I'm browsing late at night in bed.
Also, please send me a PM when this is implemented so I can change it ASAP. Thanks, and I'll definitely donate if this happens!
There is a black theme for the app, switch to it from settings, and you can find themed apks with many colors
Correct, if your on an Android device, the XDA app can be set to a dark theme.
Just open the app, tap Menu key > More > Settings > Display Style. Change that from Light to Dark. Thats it!
Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but mine (XDA Pro app) doesn't have that setting.
Under Display Style, I only have the options:
XDA Premium
Simple
XDA Free
Am I missing something?
I tried updating, but I'm currently on newest, and a re-install didn't fix anything.
Making it darker would be terrific, but I'm not sure I want to install a themed APK just for that. I enjoy the market updating things too much to try and keep track of one more thing manually.
I got some time to try and play with the settings for a bit, and the setting labeled as "Simple" is a dark display, and the other two have varying levels of brightness.
Other than that, I did not have time to do an in-depth comparison of the differences.
Hi guys,
I thought some of you might enjoy the Apollo theme I've created on my Omnia 7 with the help of the Screen Capture, Supreme Shourtcut and Advanced Config homebrew apps.
The only editing I've done here is replacing the people tile to protect my privacy All the pictures have been taken from my phone.
You'll notice I've sacrificed having a live Call tile. Since you get an readout of missed calls on the lock screen I didn't consider it that great a loss.
Let me know what you lot think...
EDIT: Just noticed that the screen capture for some reason hasn't captured the dark purple I have set as the home screen menu background Well anyway, that's there!
First look - messy
But then I think actually using it on a phone wouldn't be that messy.
My reaction towards this is neutral.
Takes away all of the aesthetic appeal of wp7.
I think it looks great!
Microsoft reallllllllly needs to allow more customization with colours in Apollo. In the worst way.
They need to change how notifications are displayed. The notification bar sucks right now. And i hate the fact that it disappears and there's no way to make it permanent.
I've searched a lot for this and did not find anything. I would like to change the colors on the note 2 email apk. This is, to have a white background with black text. Is there a moded apk or a way of doing this? Can anybody explain it to me, please?

I read somewhere that there are 2 different themes for different gnote 2 versions. you can try googling it for the apk. What drives me crazy though, is that the screen dims significantly when I open the mail app, does that happen to you? going back to home screen or opening the mail settings restores the brightness. In mail itself, it goes dark, too dark to read I think.
Brightess is just fine, no diming problems.

to resolve the issue with display brightness in stock e-mail app: go to settings / power-saving - and disable "background color" option (change background color to save power in internet) - this will affect both the native browser AND the e-mail app (don't ask me how is e-mail also "internet"... )
There is an option under settings > accessibility, which allows you to 'invert colours'. Select this. Give it a go. White backgrounds will become black and vice versa.

I am after the same help!
This is a massive PITA for me coming form an iPhone where everything was easy to read. Why Samsung needed a black background and grey text is beyond me?
Hi guys,
I'm looking for a way to make android screen open when notifications come
like iphone and blackberry priv
i try some apps but it's not good
We got that feature on our rom.
"Notification screen on" it is called. There's a whitelist too, so you can setup just certain apps.
Ambient Display is available too with black and whitelist.
