Anyone else notice automatic Material Dark theme? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was browsing around some settings around night time and some apps were showing in Material Dark. It looks like it switches automatically based on time. I noticed it in Photos and Google Settings. My guess is that it's only happening in Google Apps. Any other System settings do not do this, and for some reason it's only on the second layer, as the previous screen is still Material Light (day or night). I asked my buddy sitting next to me with his N6 if his did it too, but it was only on my device. Both are running Marshmallow.
I did not edit any settings to do this.

Build MDB08M / GPS 8.3.01 (2385995-440)

The developer preview had dark mode so im guessing you are on a rom that enabled it.

Interesting. I'm still on the "K" build, but I have the same GPS version.
Maybe it's a feature of the latest patch?

I'm aware of the option in the first preview, but that was before the 6P was available so there was no way to enable it before the setting was taken away. My N6P is brand new on the latest factory image. I haven't messed with many of the settings, and I'm not rooted. I was surprised to see the dark theme myself.

Does your buildprop have userdebug???

Perhaps. It just changed over to dark right now (see attached - Google settings this time). Also showing that the screen before is still light.

Probably not. I never edited it. Around where/what line should I look for it?
Edit: Top of build.prop screenshot attached. Is "ro.build.type=user" the line I'm looking for?
Double edit: Yes, it's a screenshot in Root Explorer, but I paid for it way back in the day so it's still my file manager of choice. Root functions will not work since I'm not rooted; otherwise, it still works just fine.

A bug?

I'm not sure. But if it is, it's a bug that I like. I won't be searing my eyes so much at night. I'd prefer if it were on all settings screens, though.

Not much to retrace since I've been slowly inching my way to less modifications:
Receive phone.
Turn it on to make sure it works.
Check for updates - none.
Unlock bootloader.
Device gets wiped.
Flash latest factory image since no updates were found.
Soft boot TWRP and flash MoaAB.
Log in to my Google account and restore all apps from my previous phone.
Open any Google apps to log in and do the first run, and then log in to any other apps not Google. Restore SMS with SMS Backup & Restore.
Then the magical moment: it's night time and I'm messing with the Photos app to make sure backups only happen on WiFi. Something is odd, the theme is dark.
Today, I had to confirm that it's light again.
Post finding on XDA.
Reply to thread.
Wait for night again.
Post another update showing dark Google settings.
???
Profit.

Something just occurred to me: this could be a scenario similar to Maps Navigation where night mode becomes dark blue instead of gray once connected to Android Auto.
Android Auto has a dark theme for night time when the headlights turn on. Perhaps Android Auto has activated the automatic dark theme for me.
Anyone else with Android Auto and a N6P?
Edit: Just confirmed my N5 (MRA58K) exhibits similar behavior with the attached screenshots. I'm sticking with my Android Auto theory. My N7 still has the light theme only and has not been connected to Auto.

My Nexus 6 doesn't do that. I wonder why yours is broken. Curious.

@SamsungGalaxyStig your face is broken.
Actually, I've personally confirmed with the above idiot that this behavior is 100% activated by plugging into Android Auto. His device only showed Material Light until it was plugged in to my head unit.

@binglejellsx2 Your mouth is broken.
Yes we definitely confirmed it is Android auto related. I also personally confirmed @binglejellsx2 has a very delicate touch....on the matter.

@SamsungGalaxyStig your matter has a delicate touch confirmed with dark materials automatically in android autos all over your broken ear, personally

This is a BIG DEAL for those on Republic Wireless.
Once we received the 4.4.2 update, outgoing texts would completely disappear (from Motorola Connect) whether you sent them from the phone, or from Moto Connect.
For example: If I sent a text to my friend saying "hello", it WOULD get sent, but the moment Moto Connect refreshed, the sent message would disappear. This made an entire text conversation look like a one-way conversation and was confusing and irritating. ("Did I already reply to that message or not?!?!")
With the new update, ALL messages, sent or received are displayed whether they are sent from the phone itself or from Connect.
This was a known issue on RW phones (because texts are sent through their unique hybrid WiFi / Cell system), and they acknowledged it and claimed to be working on it.
This update was the solution!
I recommend that all RW users update to the new versions ASAP.
Thanks OP

I'm not sure what this means, "Now located in the Apps Tray." I don't see anything new in the Chrome launcher or my Windows 7 notification area/tray. There is an item under the Google Chrome icon in the Notification area/tray which takes you directly to the Moto Connect settings, is that it?

the big deal is that u can now do a phone search from the app in the computer. so if it is lost in the house or anywhere for that matter you can ring it from motorola connect. this is new functionality to this service.
some people may consider it a big deal that you can now have an app icon available so that you don't have to scroll through the settings to get to the program.

Yeah I forgot about the ring feature. That is a nice feature. I haven't used it much since updating this evening, but I just sure hope the performance is improved. Before it worked about 8 times out of 10. Which is pretty good, but when I send a lot of texts and than a random text doesn't go through, it's kinda annoying.
Motorola Connect still doesn't work for me even with this update.
Oh well
Not anything big but one or two nice touches. Still hit and miss for me regarding the connection between my phone and the app.

They are already making changes to meet the Android L design which is, overall, all green.

to start i don't use this so i am not sure if this is what they mean or not. BUT chrome has an app tray. mine is located on the favorites bar on the far left and it says apps. It is where chrome apps are located. I would presume what they mean is that the app tray in chrome now has a connect icon you can click on to launch it. chrome in the past couple months added this app tray i believe where app icons are located. previously to launch an app that was not running you either had to go to their web page or open up settings and launch it. now there is an app tray. you can also put an app tray icon on your desktop as well as have one sitting in your bottom right corner of windows for easy access to chrome apps. I could be wrong but this is what i would assume they meant.
Well the new update is working flawlessly for me.. Earlier it was not connecting and even if connected, it wont get updated automatically when some new message or call is received.. Now the chrome shows the updates within 5 secs and replying is working too.. :thumbup:

2.2.1 update is out!

Installing the OTA now. Includes color correction fixes and an improved netflix experience apparently. Hopefully retains the performance enhancements we received in 2.2.
I believe this is the WIFI zip: http://ota.nvidia.com/ota/rom/productionBL-droid-signed-wx_na_wf-full_ota-29979_515.3274.zip
Mod edit: I have edited the thread a little to publish the OTA links in the first two posts. I changed the title as well. Enjoy!

Great, the color issue has been bugging me.
Anyone have the full update urls for flashing in cwm? (How do you find those, btw?)
After the update this morning the sensitivity of the screen is completely gone and worthless!!! Adjusting the sensitivity does not solve the problem! Experience went from 9/10 to 5/10 for me. Anybody else having the same problem?

great, thanks! is there a way to flash it with cwm without loosing the cwm recovery?
Can anyone tell me where you find the links for the full cwm flashable OTA. I always just get them from the forum post but I would like to know where you find these so I van get it myself. Like right now nobody has posted a link to the us WiFi only full 2.2.1 ota yet and if I knew where to look I could go get it myself. Thanks

I assume that the same rules apply for hotfixes when rooted? Flash in custom recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, flash superuser? Is wiping the cache necessary?
Just updated mine ,but the colors seem the same on rgb(reddish) and native (greenish); only really noticeable on whites though, also no touch issues for me...
And lastly what color correction mode are you guys using?...

Exactly. I'm gonna ditch SwiftKey and see if it's that. It's anything Google related when it freezes. Google play, play music, Google search, or Chrome. It's either play services related or SwiftKey. I'll report back after ditching SwiftKey.
Edit: even after just a short period of time I can tell you this has helped big time! No more Swiftkey for me at the moment! Now my only issue is WiFi speed

ExistenZ Marshmallow problems and solutions

Our beloved developer @niaboc79 is getting very tired of people always asking the same questions and posting their problems in the development topic of his rom.
So I decided to make this topic in the "general" section of the forum where people can post about their problems and hopefully some solutions, in the hopes that it will help him and the people having problems at the same time.
Whenever a cause or a solution for a problem is found, I will put it in the second post, right underneath this one.
I want to make clear that I'm not an expert and cannot help much myself, I will just collect and centralize information, and I'm in no way affiliated with @niaboc79 and his work, and do absolutely not deserve any credits for his work.
Also there is no guarantee that the information I collect and post in the second post will be a solution for your problem even if it has apparently worked for other people with similar symptoms.
I invite everyone that uses his rom to share helpful information here. (please)
Firstly ; a copy of the FAQ that @niaboc79 posted himself. You should read it before asking questions.

Recovery access problems:
-Don't update busybox
-Don't update Kernel
-Don't flash DRM fix (see FAQ)
If you haven't done one of the above, you should be able to enter recovery by pressing volume down (repeatedly) while starting up the phone.
If you did do one of the above, simply reflash the rom.
Note: since version 4.7 (or alternatively version 3.9) lag is no longer appearing in the rom. If you do witness lag on 4.7 (3.9) there is probably something that you have done that is causing it. Check and double check your apps and settings before trying other solutions in that case!
Lag problems:
-Update to rom version 4.7 (or 3.9 for the rom based on the beta firmware)
-Follow the instructions posted here on rom version prior to 4.7 (3.9)
If you still witness lag after that:
-After installing, give the rom some time to settle, it has to index all your files and the memory management still has to find out what apps (you) are running. This takes a long time (depending on your usage) so give it some days.
-Some xposed modules and Greenify are known causes. Disable that if you use them and see if the lag still persists. If it is gone, you can find the exact module/setting that is the cause by disabling just one module/setting at a time and try if the lag has gone. (this also counts for other problems by the way)
-Stamina mode makes the phone slower as it lowers processor speed etc. Turn it off and check if the lag has gone.
-Many (also popular) apps use quite a lot of system ressources even if you aren't using them. You could uninstall your apps, then reinstall them one at a time, use the phone a bit to check if the lag came back, if not install the next app, and so on until you find the app that is making your phone lag/behave weird.
-Never restore a titanium backup (or similar) when coming from a lollipop rom. There are several differences between lollipop and marshmallow so you risk to restore incompatible stuff.
-Activating blur in recents causes lag (v 3.5, should be solved with the next update of the rom) Fixed in final version
Profile picture (top right of status bar) won't remain after reboot:
-Open the contacts app and go to the first contact (that should contain info about you, and no image) and choose the picture you would like to see in stead of the blue user icon (click on the pencil and then on the image)
Now the image for the user switch in the status bar has been changed too, and it will stick after reboot.
Switch user causes a crash of the beta feedback app and doesn't work
-Remove beta feedback app
You can now switch users, although the system will crash/reboot, it does switch. (will be fixed in a future release of the rom) Fixed in final version

i did try to reflash the rom after upgrading busybox, but i just cant find a way to flash zip file through pc.
is there a way to flash the rom without flashing back to stock?
Maybe this will work
But if you have problems, there is nothing better than starting from scratch and do a clean install imo

By just looking at that image, not really.
I see that you haven't used your phone much during the time of the picture, so no apps are using battery, nor your screen. That automatically makes the operating system the most consuming thing, as it is needed to keep the phone running.

Click on the app to see what is consuming (radio, processing.... ) if it is the radio, maybe you had very bad connection. If it's the process that prevents the processor going to sleep you should try to find out what is running all the time.

No Q root via Magisk until major rewrite it seems.

There are more tweets after that explaining why and the complexities of the new Q partition layout.
Thanks! I was rushing before work. I figured I'd give it a shot. I wasn't totally surprised it ended in failure.

Need to set it before upgrading or set it via ADB:

Apparently you gotta use ADB to enable it. There's a recent article regarding it.

I cant upload photos , dont know why , it takes me to main xda page when i close the window , but in dev options ( in settings) the last section lets you choose font type (2 available ) , main colour of the ui and icon type( 4 available )
I cant tell if they were there before
Trying to upload the screenshot i took , i found that the app to choose files is renewed , for better

Yep. TJW had that one handled a couple of days after it was out. Doesn't look like the case this time however. Google apparently doesn't like us rooting evidently!
Anyone know if OnePlus gestures works okay on Q?

It's working for me, but it appears to need more forceful gestures than previously. But this might be because I fitted a new screen protector yesterday!
In reading the twitter feed by Magisk dev John Wu, it may come sooner than expected, his last couple of tweets made it seem like he had narrowed the problem down a bit. Also, another user hinted at a possibility of getting it working via an alternate method, but I haven't seen anything else.
But since this thread is about Q, let me say this:
1) I already had dark mode on in Pie.
2) I had root via Magisk, but completely uninstalled it (without locking the bootloader though), so no FDR needed.
3) First attempt at taking the OTA left me in a weird partial (stock) recovery where it said that the OTA could not be applied (I'm paraphrasing), and had the options to try again or FDR. I hit try again and it rebooted back to the same place - I hit try again a second time and et voila! it rebooted to Android and I have Q now on my Taimen. No idea why that happened, and I haven't performed any checks to see if it maybe flipped to the other slot or something (which I highly doubt, as it was extremely quick from when I pressed the try again to when it rebooted and started booting Android Q).
So, first thoughts:
The Google Feed now has a bit of translucency - pretty cool!
Settings is now dark mode
Notifications are also dark, double yay!
Night light is working better - the blue accents in settings, etc now also dull, the way they should.
Redesigned Files app - looks nice! Those items at the top are selectable, individually or in groups.
I've started an album at my GPHotos with screenshots I've taken thus far. See https://photos.app.goo.gl/pdbTnXZNYpQ3xBFS6
It's 1:30 AM now. I'm off to bed.
I feel the fingerprint sensor works very fast and very accurate. Can anyone please conform.
Battery Saver activates Dark Mode

I can confirm this. I'm using Pixel 2 XL and Pixel XL and after update to Q beta I can feel fingerprint sensor works faster on both devices. even I can feel so much faster response on Pixel XL
Can anyone confirm that edit button on screenshot notification is broken for you too ?

Firmware vC33 (International only) is out!

Here, as usual for the "vendor" package.
For the full ROM upgrade you have to go to the proper support website.
Not for EU variant?
Thank you very much for the info an download - any news on the changelog?
here is some info:

Did you guys try it? I saw a few screenshots somewhere that there are some new AOD styles, is that true? As the ones that are available now are very bland (made them like they don't care) that would be a huge deal for me.

Hey ! I downloaded update from Indian site and my phone is global (europe). As far as I see there's much more clock styles for AOD. Screenshots in attachment.

As I see those are the same as they are present now. Is the new update Realme UI 2.0, or is that reserved for Android 11?

Hmm then maybe it was a bait (not actually X2 Pro), I can't find it anymore ?

The linked stuff os just the firmware, the so called "vendor blob".
For the full ROM update you have to reach out Realme's support site, something like this and select "realme X2 pro".

Yeah I'm just waiting for the release on EU website as I've always done, just feel more confident that way. I'm just curious, I can't find the website again which showed the new AOD style, so you guys don't see new stuff?
is global version de eu version?
how do i know which i have.
I also receive the OTA but I can't find it on the realme support page, it still show the .32
Little question, I'm currently rooted. Can I installe the OTA via the Realme updater without issue ? (except the loss of root, but I don't care)
I've noticed an issue with the dialer. When calling someone there is no dialer tone so I don't know if it's actually ringing until the other person answers. Did anyone else notice this issue after updating to c.33?

Hello.
I've made the C33 update too but I don't have the behavior you're describing.
I tried calling multiple phone numbers I have at the office (mobile and fix) and each time I was hearing the usual tone before people pick up the line.
By my side, I have noticed another strange issue, but I don't know if it's due to the C33 update or if it's is due to something coming from my unit only.
After finishing the update process, the phone restarts normally but at the beginning I have a pop-up message asking me if I want to activate location services.
Each time I reboot my device, this pop-up message does show and I have to accept it even if the location services hasn't been switched OFF before reboot.
This pop-up message doesn't show if I make a restart instead of a reboot.
However, the more annoying thing is that the GNSS services aren't working as before whatever a restart or reboot is done.
If I use a GPS test application, I usually can see the number of sats and all the relevant details they give (NMEA messaged, etc...).
But since C33 update, I can see these information only for a minute or a few more, then they stop being refreshed and no other information are available than the position and speed.
It doesn't affect navigation, but I have some personal tracking project and these information were essential for my needs.
Can someone make a test with its X2 Pro and tell me if this issue does only concern my phone and not the C33 update?

I have exactly the same symptoms. GPS tool works after reboot for three minutes. Then all satellites are gone. See second screenshot. Navigation keeps working and is accurate. I do not have a "enable location pop-up" after each reboot.
I have X2pro 12/256 global with C33.

I do not get this message when rebooting, but I do have the same with the GPS test app (tried 2). It does give my right location also when moving around so the GPS does work correctly.
Thank you people for the quick feedback.
I don't know if it is possible to apply C32 *.ozip package after a C33 update to recheck if the behavior was also present in previous firmware release.
I tried looking for some answers about firmware version reverts, but I can only find downgrade process to go back to Android 9, and it isn't what I want to do.
I know this type of NMEA informations isn't relevant for everybody, but in my case this issue has a huge impact on a bench metrology system I'm using and using my phone as a GNSS Location tracker is a very handy solution.
It was properly working in July then I had to debug other matters before using back this function again in November.
If I was aware this update will affect my phone, I will probably not apply it...
I didn't notice any issues while using Google Maps, nor did I see any warning messages, but I've noticed the same thing using the gps test app.
