I'm still on Oreo and have noticed this on my XL. My girlfriend who has non XL has the old dialer in blue, she is also still on Oreo.

Mine too, ugly change, but seems Google is making this horrible design standard for all their apps. You'll notice contacts and messages also changed.

Hopefully they will allo dark mode in these apps eventually (they do in messages now or at least it's rolling out).

Mine too! Very annoying...
[/COLOR]I noticed mine change about 3 or 4 days ago. I didn't have time to look into it then, but I thought I just installed an app that changed settings or something. I'm glad to hear it wasn't just my phone, but I'm frustrated that this change was made. Now I don't recognize when a call is coming in as easily. We should definitely be able to customize this. (I'm on Android P)

Mine also changed to white. I blame Apple for starting this trend. I hate it. Cant be that hard to include a dark theme.
Good news... you'll no longer need the flashlight on your phone or an AMOLED screen.

So just go to phone app in google play and uninstall the latest update?
Worked for me, although the blue sucks too.

White is a lot better than the 90' dos or windows 95 blue screen....... however, we should be able to choose the color......

Arrogant bastards
You can't.
I just made a HUGE MISTAKE and upgraded my google pixel 2........now I have android v9 which SUCKS.
Only way is to make it dark is to click on the 3 buttons at top right in phone and pick dark theme
You can do the same on messages....pick dark mode top right
You can't save your stuff and reload it either......if you revert back to v8.......cause v8 can't read v9 backups.....
The ARROGANCE of these bastards!.........To just totally change the look/colors/theme of what you are used to and FORCE you to use their new s..t

I have the same question/problem... hoping someone has an answer. It appears that it has been disabled by sammy.
Use the double drop down to show the gear icon. Then long press the gear icon. Once it converts to a gear icon with a wrench on it, SystemUI shows up on settings.

Having trouble with this. If by "double drop-down" you mean two-finger swipe down, that brings down the full notification panel (toggle switches) panel... there is no gear icon on it.
If I swipe down with a single finger, there is a gear icon above the list of notifications, but it does not change to a wrench no matter how long I hold it.
help?
That is how I did it originally on Marshmallow. I am on N Preview now, and it is still the double swipe drop-down.
Let me get the link I used on matchmaker and post here.

I am sure I am not using the brightness icon. I am pressing the gear icon at the upper right of the screen (next to the one that looks like a grid).
Actually, I read the article you referenced before you posted it -- and several others. This is why I posted this here... that gear icon just doesn't do anything for me. I have read that some vendors have chosen not to use the System Tuner UI... and came to think that maybe Sprint or Samsung ditched it.
I see you are posting from a Nexus 6. Have you gotten it on a Samsung TouchWiz device?
Let me try really quickly.

okay... thanks for the try.
I asked about the System UI Tuner in another thread and have not found a way to access it. Given that some of the things System UI Tuner offers were already in TouchWiz, I wonder if Samsung just left it out. If true, this would be unfortunate because I don't know of any other way to control which icons appear in the Notification bar.
why are you posting in a note 4 section about your nexus?
can we ban members from showing up on our accounts when we come to the forum so we have less clutter like this?

1.5 update: new watch face, 3 new ringtones, rollout starts today (24 June)

Not on and English site yet, but here it is in Japanese.
http://consumer.huawei.com/jp/press/news/hw-478102.htm
translation
In this update, watch face-related enhancements and various bug fixes have been made.
The enhanced part, some face corresponds to the color display in the energy-saving mode
"Roman 3D" is added as a new watch face.
new ring tones "Bounce," "Dream it possible", "Spring"
bug fixes: Bluetooth disconnection fix, phone call interrupted fix, cycling is misidentified as climbing fix, tilt-to-wake improved, Google map rotation fix, unexpected restart fix.
Has anyone received it yet?
nothing yet here..... but im excited
Tried to force update. Restarted watch a couple of times. Says I'm up to date but still on 1.4. I'm in Canada if that makes a difference.
effing brilliant!!! So pleased, i just got one and have heard about the red screen tint and that 'upset' me so seeing a fix in the works is great.
C'mon . . . .C'mon - so impatient - checks for update again . . .
Nice find. Waiting for OTA
I got it earlier today. I did TWRP backup, but restored back to MEC23L to see if I could get it again and capture the OTA. Seemed a little faster, probably placebo.

Can u post pics of the new watch face?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA Labs
I couldn't find it. There was just Roman, like normal. No "Roman 3d".
Has anyone had any luck? There's nothing in the UK at the moment, except euroscepticism
Can someone capture the OTA please?
Can someone post the OTA?
thanks for the info... waiting for the OTA
I just received the update! It's not a big improvement. A couple bugfixes like bluetooth! Just 3 new ringtones and a new designed Roman watchface. Pretty cool tough! Can't tell if the red circle is gone because I didn't had that problem. I got the update right after I restored my watch because I had a lot of bluetooth connection problems. http ://imgur. com /a/Qfd5p (please remove the empty spaces)

Just exactly the same as the Roman one. Except there is a 'shiny side' when you tilt your watch. And when you're watch goes into dim mode it's a little bit different. Look my post above.

For the new Roman 3D watchface you have to look for it in settings and then 'change watchface.' Have fun

for those who have gotten the update and use Google fit, can you keep an eye on your step count? when my 360 sport updated to 1.5 my steps dropped like 40% and others have reported the issue as well (though it seems like a minority.) I want to hold off updating my hwatch if this is the case.

So it came in with TWRP installed? I have that and a custom rooted kernel and nothing yet. I wonder if I need to restore to stock to get the OTA?
Would anyone please capture the link of OTA zip file? I'm on the stock FW but still don't receive 1.5. Can't wait for it!

Does you N7 lag when your pop up notification appears?

So I ordered my Note 7 through Verizon and I've had it for about a week and I'm in love. No over heating or nothing related to the " recall ".. But, what I am noticing is very clear and blatant lag when I'm in an app or even staring at home screen where Hangouts and FB messenger pop ups with the notification message really slow up and lag when appearing @ the top of the screen. Almost like half of it shows up and it takes 2 or 3 seconds for the bottom half to appear and complete so you can read the message..
Could it be possible that it's a setting with Nova Launcher? Idk
Anyone else experiencing this?
Anyone recommend a fix or something setting wise I might have jacked up? Thanks!
Edit ; I've come to the conclusion that it's TouchWiz or this phone needs 7.0 desperately.. OR rooting it might solve it? LMK your thoughts please!

Turn off peeking in the app settings under notification. Unless you really like the heads up peeking. I've disliked heads up/peeking since day one so I've always disabled it.
I made a thread about this a few days ago. I called it notification glitch. A guy said it happens when you turn all animations off. If you set it to .5 then it should fix it.
I tried it and it didn't work. Guess it's just a software glitch.

I changed animations from off to .5 because this guy said it fixes it but it doesn't.

Btw I made like 4 threads simultaneously about this (they deleted all but 1) like 4 days ago and it sounds like everyone has this issue so don't think you have a faulty unit or something.
No issue here. Even when playing a game my notifications are smooth.

I had the same issue, use Nova as well, and came to this same conclusion. The minute I changed the animation from 0 to anything else it was resolved.

Do you think nova setting should have anything to do with it? I have it all set to faster than light animations.

I mean - trial and error is the best way to check.
I also switched from Material-Dark theme to a black one, but that was after I changed the animations and it was working.

Okay, I changed it back to .5 so I'll see. There's only a couple apps that send me notification that do that and I don't get them often so it might take me a while to figure it out. It's odd it'd effect some phones and not others.. It doesn't sound like a hardware issue to you does it? If it's software hopefully next update fixes it...

... Nah, not hardware. Definitely a setting/software issue.
I'll tell you right now, the only other thing about this phone that has annoyed me is keyboard lag. I'm using swiftkey and sometimes it'd start lagging bad especially in apps like Facebook messenger, kik, or typing into Google search. It's like it couldn't keep up with how fast I was typing. It seems like it'd randomly go into this mode even if I had no apps open and plenty of spare ram. I did a lot of research about this last night and found a big thread about it and someone said if you clear your clipboard from the settings in your keyboard it fixes it and what do you know... It hasn't lagged a single time since I did that..
---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------
Wow. I turned off nova accessibility and it fixed both the keyboard lag and the laggy notification pop up and I still have l animations off. Tested the notifications using an app that would constantly cause it to lag and only pop halfway down(not fully load)and 4 straight times even while in a game didn't cause it. So the verdict is 100% nova accessibility chasing both notification and keyboard lag.

Dark mode on stock for all apps?

Since the Op 3 has an amoled screen i would like to have as much black on the screen as possible at all time. I have enabled the dark mode already, but am kinda disappointed that it doesnt affect any 3rd Party apps like the google apps.
Does anyone know a way to get all apps black on stock os?
Preferably without root.
I found a lot about layer apps, how exactly do they work?
The word layer makes me think that they just make an overlay. Wouldnt it be easier to search the code in the app that defines the color of elements and change the values there?
Or just intercept the commands for the display an switch any white and black?
So what do you think is the best way to get as much black on the screen as possible?
Thanks for any input
