Changed my display size and Google now on the left most screen is in dark mode - OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion

I enabled dark mode and it annoyed me how Google now was still all white. I was pleased to see it go dark for some odd reason when I changed my display size. I'm not mad!

What size, I've tried them all but still white screen...(Jesus that sounds like a horrible movie)

Lmao make sure you have nuanced dark selected in themes first. In display size it was default then I changed it to small and Google now feed went dark. Now it's always dark no matter display size.

Whats Nuanced Dark?
What I do is that I have a Tasker profile to set dark mode to On when oem_black_mode becomes 1.
This Dark Mode toggle in Tasker sets Google's dark mode flag to on.

CM13 screen is too yellowish and reddish

I'm using oneplus 3 official CM13
The screen is too yellowish and reddish
I like Oxygen OS screen color and white balance.
How to fix it??
도와달라 이기!!
just wait, your eye will adapt progressively.
The original OP3 color balance was like a TV in sport mode.
You can flash ElementalX Kernel for kcal http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/kernel-elementalx-op3-0-01-t3404879. You'll need EXKM from Play Store tho.
Take a screenshot of your LiveDisplay settings and post it here.

Well, that's weird. Default colors should be just like colors on OOS.
You may wanna to play a bit with LiveDisplay settings and make it look good for you, plenty customization options out there.
Livedisplay is set to automatically change the colortemperature depending on daytime/sunset. You might want to find that setting and turn it off. Or wait for the next day ;P

edge lighting

When I set the lighting it doesn't move around the screen like it's supposed to, It's just a steady light. I tried different settings and it's the same on basic, multi(only the top left corner lights and it's steady also), and glow. The glitter one moves but yeah, not into that lol. I contacted Samsung and they said to do a soft reset and if that don't work to go into safe mode and check it that way. I did both and neither worked. I have the boost mobile variant, sm-g960u. Any help would be appreciated.
Go back to the edge settings and set width to wide, set transparency to low, and choose your effect, I'm using multi colour. You can change the colour for specific apps as well like blue for Facebook and green for whatsapp etc.
Click colour and then app colour.
Should look sweet now

Night mode isn't as dark

Lying in bed last night I turned on Night Mode. I noticed when I pulled down the notification shade, the top portion was still dimly back lit, so I could see the camera cutout and the edges of the screen, no matter how much I dim the backlight.
Well tonight I fired up my Note 9, put it on Night Mode and pulled down the notification shade, and no matter how bright or dim I have the screen, the top part is BLACK. no light. You can't see where the screen ends and the frame begins.
This isn't a huge deal except for battery savings. When an AMOLED screen is true black, those prices shut off. But since the night mode on the N10+ isn't true black those pixels are still lit up and using power.
When viewing video in Netflix or YouTube the black bars are truly black, so I know the screen is capable showing true blacks, I'm just not sure why Sammy changed Night mode so it's no longer truly black.
I have just experienced the same thing. I have a note 9 as well to compare. I'm actually deeply disappointed. I also noticed screen mode only has 2 options... vivid and natural. Where as note 9 has 4 screen modes. I'm trying to figure things out to see if I can get it to be true black.
It's probably normal since it's a night mode and not a black mode ; in which you wouldn't it to make your screen showing heavy contrasted differences that actually made more eye fatigue than the light one.
Maybe I'll finally like this mode on this new phone.

No I understand it's a "Night mode" but I'm comparing it to the Note 9 and Note 8 Night mode where it became a true black. And I ran it in Night mode almost 24/7 for some battery savings as well. Well that doesn't work if Night Mode is just a dark grey rather than a true black.
And I'm not sure how true black and contrast made for more eye fatigue? Have you never watched a 4K movie? The whole point of high def is high contrast with true deep blacks, bright whites, and bright colors.
I also noticed on the quick access home screen in Samsung Browser on dark mode, it's not longer a true black. Now if you turn on High Contrast mode in the browser settings, then the background is a true black, so that panel is capable of turning off the pixels and going true black. This means it was an obvious design choice.

Dark VS black doesn't make much difference battery wise on OLED screens (let me just find the test back and I'll update my post)
Because the notification panel and anywhere else that it matters contains mostly texts and it produce visual retina persistence (not sure if I translated well), plus it's more annoying to read and and eyes accommodate less than in light mode where everything is light too.
There's nothing to do with movies since it's dynamic and constantly changing from a lot of different colours while texts are more static (but going from dark to light scene still hurts)
I agree that it's absolutely a design choice, but in my opinion for the better.

I gotcha. Makes sense. I'd like to see some tests on black vs dark. I had always heard and though the battery savings was due to the pixels shutting off. It's why the AOD is black and not just dark.
Buts also weird. I'm replying to this direct from the Gmail notification of your reply. So it opened up the webpage in the webview. Well the top bar above the page that says reply to topic and has had the Gmail overflow button is true black. But the status bar right above it is dark grey.
I guess what bugs me most is it makes the camera cutout stick out, even in the dark. Because I look up an I see a true black for on a dark charcoal background. And I can see the screen edges. I preferred on the Note 9 where it all just blended away with the true black.
But yet, when I watch a movie, the status bar DOES turn off completely and you can't see the camera cutout. Just can't figure out the inconsistency.

It may be because apps got their own night mode colour settings embedded, while all One UI apps got theirs which are different.
Like, if for Google night mode is all black, their apps will just check about system UI night mode trigger and of its on, apply their own settings.
I can only find that reason for it to be such inconsistent.

I totally understand and agree ! Especially when you like what Samsung did with their UI
In an other hand, there's some third party theme that may be of use to have a black theme : https://forum.xda-developers.com/s10-plus/themes/theme-anxious-t3921645
I don't know if it's working for the Note 10 yet but I think it's just a matter of time before it do

I just use a theme that's mostly black everywhere. No need for night mode..
One UI notification shade isn't actually black for any of the devices on the One UI. I had an S8+ before this and it looked black but if you take a screenshot and measure the color value, you'll see that it's not black. You can do the same thing on your Note 9. Take a screenshot and extract the color value. Or take a screenshot and then transfer that screenshot to the Note 10 and view it on the Note 10. I guarantee that the Note 9 screenshot of the notification shade will look like the Note 10 notification shade. Black will cause AMOLED smearing which isn't good look.

So I tried this. Set my Note 9 to Night Mode and took a screen shot. Sent it to my N10+. Guess what? The notification shade in my Note 9 screen shot is pure black when viewed on my N10+ screen.
So I did the opposite. Took a screen shot of N10+ notification shade and sent it to my Note 9, and it appears dark grey.
So I'm not saying you're WRONG, but this is proof that the notification shade on Night Mode on the Note 9 (and the Note 8) was SIGNIFICANTLY darker than the N10+. If they aren't true black, then they are so close at to be indistinguishable from it, whereas the N10+ is definitely lighter than black.
I also just used an app to do a color value sample on my screenshots. Note 9 notification shade is #00000. I believe that is true black?
See my attached screenshots. War Machine is Note 9 (The one with the true black notification shade) and the Darth Vader is the Note 10+ (the one with the dark grey notification shade)
To see what I'm talking about, you may need to turn brightness up on your phone or go in a dark room.
Screenshots of color picker showing Note 9 notification shade is #00000 (true black) and Note 10+ is #080808 (not true black).

I tried this. The notification shade was still dark grey, not black.
Samsung doesn't use black on the N10, it's that simple. They use a form of grey that's fairly close to pure black, however. The avg person probably uses white themes, so I doubt many will take notice.

Write back when you find a solution to make samsung browser black.cheers.
As Nastrahl pointed out it the pixels don't need to be completely off to save a lot of power. I was going for total black but since I adjust brightness manually a little bit of tint to the black looks nicer and makes it easier to gauge the brightness.
You can use the Good lock app Quickstar to make the pull down notification panel any color or darkness level you want. Mine is almost black with a hint of forest green.
My wallpaper is even darker with the same green tint.
When the brightness is too high the wallpaper's green tint is noticeable otherwise it looks black.

New dark mode. android 10

Don't get me wrong. Love the new update and love the new location settings. Specially as it is about time they brought it on par with iOS. But what is with the new dark mode. If you got the new dark mode everything should change right away. Why Gmail Google app and play store not turned dark yet. Why do we have to wait for more updates. This is where Samsung and I will say Huawei give them credit get things right.
We have to wait, coz not all apps are ready yet.
So, where's your problem? U run without dark mode since KitKat, so it can not be in such a hurry.
Apart from that it was already announced before the release that some apps still have to be optimized or revised so that the dark mode works 100%
Play store is dark themed for me, you can turn on force dark mode in developer options and it will try and theme almost anything, Gmail is still white. It will turn off on reboot though. You can also set accent color too.
There is no problem. I actually liking the new update. What would of been perfect if they could of released everything on the day of release. If Samsung could do it why not the creators of android. And thank you guys for the replies
You can force dark mode under System->Developer Options (just search for 'force' and its at the bottom of results). It will enable dark mode everywhere.
With gmail, they are overriding that override setting and forcing it to be white because they are preparing for native gmail dark mode. But you can override the override of the override by downgrading the gmail app to system app version, which has the dark mode when you enable force dark mode from Developer options. I love the dark mode gmail. It just awesome!
Hope that helps!

Good tip with the force dark mode, thanks! With the turning off on reboot though, is that meant to apply to the accent color option too? I've set that and icon shape and it seems to keep resetting itself... It seems silly to reset theme options like that, but that would explain why I keep losing them...

How to turn off adaptive display? White balance and RGB settings not working?

Does anyone know how to turn off the s20's adaptive display feature? (I'm not asking about adaptive brightness.) I'm on a US snapdragon, unlocked, regular S20. Thanks!
I am referring to:
"Samsung's adaptive super AMOLED screen optimizes the color range, saturation, and sharpness of the picture depending on what you're watching or doing."
https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00063051/
The vivid/natural, white balance, and advanced RGB settings mentioned in that link do NOT seem to impact the adaptive display feature. (And in fact, white balance and RGB settings don't seem to do anything at all... If anyone has thoughts about why THAT is, or how to make them actually have an effect, I'm interested.)
I have tried turning off dark mode completely, turning off the video enhancer, and turning off the dark mode on wallpaper, but the problem persists and impacts things like apps and pages in Chrome - basically everything.
If I look at my task switcher, app screens will often look the way I want them to in the preview, but when I click on one, after about a second the display adjusts and changes the image to something brighter, whiter, and less what I want. This is true whether adaptive brightness is on OR off.
I'm trying to use a screen filter to manually set the screen to the settings I need, and it feels like the screen is fighting the filter and countering it, and I think this business with the adaptive display optimizing color and saturation could be the problem. Or if you have other ideas for the source of the problem, I want to hear them.
Any help is appreciated!

they removed the option to close adaptive display since Note 9 starting from s10 it is always on and can't be disabled

It was something like attached picture on Note 9
Ah hah! I think I figured out a solution to my problem (which was that the whites were too blue and bright and vivid as compared to everything else on the screen, no matter what settings I used on Twilight or another screen filtering app). For anyone who comes after me with a similar issue: the native blue light filter doesn't JUST turn on/off - it has an opacity setting which you can find and adjust by clicking on "blue light filter" in your display settings menu, to the left of the on/off toggle switch. Turning it all the way up (to the right) tones down the whites and blues without impacting the rest of the colors on the screen, which for me at least creates a much better color display ratio.
