[Q] [Solved] How to invert colors by just presssing home button 3 times - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

EDIT:
My bad: I forgot how to I did it the first time: http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s5-accessibility-options
Accessibility settings:
One just has to activate "Direct Access" and select "invert colors" as the function that should be done when pressing the home button 3 times.

So you can invert the colours on the Tab S ??
John.

Yes and as it is OLED it consumes less power on dark screens

I wish the invert function had an option to limit inversion to white backgrounds and black text as I despise the "snow blind" effect of Lollipop and the new TouchWiz settings. Unfortunately this feature in its current form makes any other colors but black/white hideous. Oh well, half way there.

[Q] "night mode" option

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.
HTC Evo

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.

Accessibility - Negative Colors

Nice feature that I came across while exploring the Settings.
No longer do we need to mod the apks in order to change the apps to dark background, which some of us prefers, because we believe a darker screen saves battery. In this case, just need to tick the check box of "Settings - Accessibility - Negative Colors".
Enjoy!

A dark display on SAMOLED does save battery. And changing this setting makes everything white, no? Your post is confusing.
It turns the background to Black, a screenshot won't be able to capture it.
And you can access it by holding the power key, you just need to enable the accessibility shortcut option.

It not only turns background black, it just inverts colors.meaning if its black, it can become white and vice versa, but if there are color they too will turn negative like in those photos...
Its usefulness is beyond my comprehension :s
These settings are from ages,it's not new.

Its the sort of thing i would do before giving my note to a friend and trolling him that he had damaged it by showing the "decolorised" screen!
Hey, is there any way to enable this option for the drop down notified menu only? This would actually be useful...

Volume Rocker in Landscape mode / dark Navbar possible?

Hi everybody,
I've finally gotten my Tab S4 yesterday and am pretty impressed with the build quality and screen.
Unfortunaly I almost immediately spotted two things that drive me crazy and I wasn't able to find a way to resolve them:
1. When using the tablet in landscape mode, the volume rocker acts like it is still in portrait mode: "Left button" for increasing the volume and "right button" for decreasing it. This feels very unnatural and is different to every device I have been using. I checked all the settings but wasn't able to find anything that would fix this behaviour.
2. The Navbar can only be set to a very light color, this is very annoying when using "dark" apps most of the time. E.g. in Plex, the interface is completely black and dark grey and every time you touch the screen you have the almost white navbar popping up and disturbing the peace. Hiding the navbar makes it transparent and it looks fine, but I'd like to keep this look while having it onscreen all the time - is there any way to achieve this?
Also, is there any way to have a dark theme that reskins all the menus to be black or dark grey?
Regards,
pintness
I noticed the problem with the backwards volume buttons, too. I replaced my Nexus 10 with the S4 and the Nexus never had that problem. I hope there is a fix. How could they overlook something so simple/basic on a media-friendly, high-end tablet??!
The original Tab S had the volume rocker work that way. For some reason Samsung changed it.

With substratum you can have a dark navigation bar. I am using Swift Black.
I use button mapper to change the volume buttons order depending on the tablet orientation.

[APP] Arc Lighting - Custom Navigationbar for Galaxy Note 10 (hide chin)

(note to galaxy note 10 users set samsung navigatiomode to gesturemode then go into arc lighting and move the buttons up vertically as they are outside of view using gesture mode will make the bar much thinner than normal, force navbar color to black then change the buttons to a line and push them to the edge, this will hide the chin by causing an illusion of the button being closer to the edge than it actually is, the upside to this is that you both get gesturebased navigation and tapbased, by forcing button size it's also relatively easy to hit the buttons)
Download (xda members get free access, will provide unlock codes to any xda member who asks)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.symetium.arclightingnavigationbar
Full Description:
Arc Lighting Navigation Bar is the most advanced custom navigationbar on the market, you can do everything from setting a custom icon per button coloring it after your current wallpaper or app you use or move the buttons up and down both inside and outside of layers, you can apply a colored layer behind each button individually and you can curve each corner of that layer individually you can also set an outline around each layer invidually and you can curve each corner individually aswell this outline can ofcourse change color after your wallpaper or app you're using and you can ofcourse adjust transparency and color lightness as with all other layers, you can force a custom tapspace for each button individually if you feel it's too small for your finger just increase the space and it will be much easier to tap the button, you can set the each individual layer such as the navigationbar or preset icon to change color after the app you're using or after the wallpaper you have both on the homescreen and inside an app, if you prefer to have the wallpaper color even inside the app you're using you can do that too you can also adjust transparency and color lightness if you prefer a darker or lighter color, you can apply an outline to each colored layer individually you can also curve each corner of this outline individually as well as the layer itself, arc lighting custom navigationbar also features modes that you can create and delete as you wish, you can set a custom configuration for how the bar should look and behave inside an app you can set a custom configuration for how the bar should look and behave inside an app in landscape and in portrait, you can do the same on the homescreen both in landscape and in portrait, arc lighting navigationbar comes with various presets such as pc mode which is designed for mouse and keyboard use and a higher dpi setting simply edit only landscape with this mode and have a pc ui, only enable when in landscape, arc lighting navigationbar also features a lighting system that let's you make each button glow individually you can also adjust the glow or turn it off all together, you can have the home button and or back button and or recent apps button pulse when charging, you can use each button individually as a battery indicator and make them change color depending on your charge, you get all this and much more in the most advanced navigationbar app on the market, arc lighting navbarigationbar also comes with various system modes, if you want the best experience choose advanced mode or rootmode, download the simple to use enabler software to give your device the neccessary permissions for advanced mode so you don't have to mess with adb, if you don't want to do this simply choose simple mode this is slightly more limited than advanced more as it will run ontop of your current navigationbar and it doesn't support transparency.
Features:
- Advanced color system with multiple layers of colors that can be enabled or disabled with adjustable transparency or color lightness and or change depending on wallpaper or app.
- Tap Space customization to adjust how big or small you want the Tap Space to be (smaller is better for a mouse and bigger is better for a finger)
- Movement system for each icon to move icons up and down or side to side both inside a layer or with the layer
- Full support for icon packs per icon and preset white or wallpaper/app colored icons with support for glow and lighting indicators
- Lighting system for each individual icon for notifications and various indicators
- PC mode preset for mouse and keyboard use (try to create Windows XP)
- Modes system that lets you set how the bar behaves in landscape and or portrait in-app and or the home screen by default you edit all so uncheck edit all variants to edit individually
i wanted to update everyone on what happened, the app simply died because the developer i worked with simply vanished, i wanted to post this as many of you have noticed i haven't sent out free codes as i should to xda members, my app arc lighting which i put years of my life in including money died, the person i worked with just disappeared, i am not accusing him he said he had corona so i am trying not to think anything i tried to be considerate but i asked whats been happening, i paid money last year to make changes to the app changes which haven't been made and it ended up just dying because it's broken
the last few days i received strange emails from someone claiming they have the sourcecode for something and wanting to sell it to me but they never said for what so i asked what this was about they refused and eventually when i said i'm not interested i received this

-------------------------------------------------------
i've had contacts with admins on this website who promoted my app, and some people have helped me in the past i wonder if anyone can help me as i am clueless on what to do, the developer i did work with simply is missing, and i don't believe he would do anything to me, i know two people who have the sourcecode, and i do trust them so i don't really know whats happening, i also have no idea why anyone would even want the sourcecode, the functionality is 5% of competing apps that does exactly the same thing, what people seem to like is my ui design and that can easily be copied.

Quick panel: negative display

Hi,
Is there a way to add negative display button in the quick settings panel. It was there on my Pixel and was useful while reading. As most of our web pages are white background, negative display acts as dark mode for everything.
It is not so comfortable to go to settings n search for colour inversion everytime i need it.
Please let me know if there is some mod, app to do so.
Thanks.
I think the best you can find here is Wind Down Mode from Settings>Digital Wellbeing>Wind Down. It's not available via Quick Settings though.
I found a quick shortcut to access colour inversion not in quick panel though
Accessibility/ Advanced Settings/ Direct Access/ Side and Volume Up Keys
Toggled on the Colour inversion option.
Now as soon as i press these 2 keys together volume up and side key (power/bixby key) i have colour inversion and i feel this is faster way to access it even than the quick panel.
