It does that in Pie. Under settings display make sure that's changed to a dark theme.

Also, I would highly suggest unlocking the bootloader and rooting the device. The only reason I root is really to theme. you can basically have system-wide dark mode. Swift installer is the best theming application I've ever come across.

I don't want dark, night anything - I want it off permanently.

Well then change the setting in settings - display to device theme - light.

Right. The problem is with System > Advanced > Developer options > Night mode. I set it to always off but something keeps changing it to Automatic (based on time of day).

I snarked this from a logcat:
12-08 17:08:51.629 D/ColorDisplayService(1653): onTwilightStateChanged: isNight=true
ColorDisplayService(1653) is naughty. Process 1653 is basically system settings.
Definitely a bug.

BT headset, have 3 different one. Pressing the button will kill the call while on GV. IDEAS?
I'm occasionally seeing the lockscreen flash up when turning the screen off.
Also, if there's a way to disable the lockscreen transparency I'd be interested to hear it - it looks rubbish.
Seeing the old issue of the notification drawer appearing in/after calls, too. Hadn't had this for a while on latest nightlies

Go to Google play services in privacy guard and deny it the permission to keep awake. Then reboot.

color os camera problem
It worked perfectly on kitkat .
After updating to lollipop (official update) cm 12s , it seems to show some problem.
I can't see any live preview of the effects. It just shows the normal camera without any effects. But after I click, the picture comes with effect. So its just a problem about the live preview of the effects. Has anyone else experienced this problem ? Plz help me.
The now infamous two halves in pictures with flash are still there. I wonder if the community could extract the camera driver from oxygenOS kernel sources (when OP will finally release them) and use them, since it doesn't happen on that ROM.

I prefer using this method. Much cleaner IMO.

I think the lockscreen flashing after the screen turns off is a lollipop thing. I noticed it when I had a nexus 5 and upgraded to 5.0. I think I noticed it out of the corner of my eye so to speak, after I had set my phone down and the screen timed out, thought it flickered/flashed but that's just the screen off animation now.
Still playing around with all the settings to see what's new (and removed) and noticed:
No longer have the ability to configure the auto-brightness settings which I actually quite liked in 11S if for no other reason that I could set the auto brightness for low light down to 0% (instead of the, what... 5% normal setting?).
Screen Color calibration wouldn't work and crashed the settings app (screen went black and I couldn't get back into settings). A reboot seems to have fixed it.
The settings app may just be buggy as it crashed again when trying to access Developer Options (screen went black and required a reboot).
EDIT: Couldn't sign into my Cyanogen account but that could be a problem on Cyanogen's side as it didn't recognize my account.
Still seems like there are a lot of new things to try and there are more options than Oxygen OS.
Switching profiles:
from owner to guest: Cyanogenmod-log crashes
from guest to owner: code to unlock phone isn't shown and no matter what you type, it always incorrect. Fixed by rebooting

no problem like yours.
but there's no led notification (when lock and screen on) only ambient flashed-up display.
i do agree that autobrightness is not working like in cm11s.
But, i do have those problems after flashing from stock cm11s 05Q and via bootloader with fastboot image from the cyngn.
And cm12s from cm11s is have this kind of lagging typing/touching to be compared if you were flashing from cm12/cm12.1, strange indeed.
I'm back on nightlies. CM12S ain't for me, thought OxygenOS was better
Lags on interactive governor
Hi guys, did you notice any lags on interactive governor in games ? It lags on cm11s too, I thought that they will fix it in today released cm12s. It didn't happen before brick of my phone, since unbrick and flash of cm11s, games are lagging so much on interactive governor. Do you know how to fix that without any change of governor, hotplug or profiles ? Thanks a lot.
Com. Google. Gapps. Continual fc so rapid about impossible use phone.. Back to O2 for now which is very smooth
All of you with issues, did you dirty flash or wipe first? it DOES matter...

Disable Heads Up & Disable Volume change font size in messages

I was wondering if someone knows how to disable:
- Heads Up notifications (Super annoying when you're doing something and it pops up in the front of the screen)
- the Volume buttons changing the font size in Messaging (There is used to be a way to disable to in settings, but I cannot find it anymore)
Thank you in advanced!
I have exactly the same question, regarding text font size of SMS. In the past there as a setting, but on S7 edge it's gone. Pretty annoying
I know that this thread is old, but is there any way to turn off heads up notification? There is no option for that?

I'm using shortcutter which allow us to toogle heads up in quick setting. Also we could add other toggles that are normally unavailable. It's pretty fun to play with even if you are unrooted. You should try it, seriously. Or maybe switch notification to show silently

new notification look

Does anyone know how to get the new notification look? Mine is still just the regular box notification. I'm talking about the heads up pop up notification btw

Maybe im being silly but that looks like an App dependent notification - rather than a system handled
EG: facebook messenger - allows notification overridding screen - maybe thats just a text app that does have this permision in place
Re this i think in notification settings - in the more advanced section you can allow an app to override screen with notifications - tho i know in the new version od android they are eliminating this functionality

Ive figured it out:
Pull down quick settings and press edge lighting, its the second page of quick settings. Then in settings go to > Display > EdgeScreen, make sure Edge Lighting is toggled on, Then click on it and press Manage Notifications and choose which apps you want this way
Just like @xPrometheus mentioned

I spent 2 hours yesterday looking for tutorials and videos about that notification style and couldn't find anything. The default messaging app has that notification. I actually ditched Textra just because of that, until I find a way to to have it with it. I love that notification style, I really wish it could be enabled for all apps.
"Settings -> Display -> Edge Screen -> Edge Lighting" had been enabled since I got the phone and it's not the same thing as https://giphy.com/gifs/3o7btVlUtbdelu4L4I/html5
Or maybe it is, but the only application I could find that has that lightning effect is the default messaging app. Facebook doesn't have it, Textra doesn't have it, Messenger doesn't have it, SnapChat doesn't have it, and the list goes on and on..

I tried this, but I don't get any notification from apps like Gmail or Instagram. As a matter of fact I only see the small icon appear in the top left corner of the screen from them, and no pop-up or preview whatsoever. Am I the only one?
Only works on SMS for me it seems.
Shouldn't those apps give us some sort of preview like the iPhone does? I thought I used to have them on my old Galaxy S7 Edge.. but I might be wrong and got used to the iPhone now??
I got this working:
First disable notification for all apps you want to show with new notif style
in settings > notification
install SystemUI Tuner from playstore,
then in miscellaneous > enable Heads-Up Notifications.
scroll down and enable Power Notification controls.
now go back to notification setting, tap the app then slide to level 4 or 5 (peek enable)
the notification for the app should be in new style now (edge lighting enabled)
Now the trick so it also works with screen off:
install from playstore: Lightflow legacy
the key is the setting in lightflow must enable "Switch screen on" in the app setting
then you will have edge lighting notif for other apps too.
Mine works with Gmail & telegram & anything that's set up in lightflow.

Night mode in 7.1.1

Hey everybody,
unfortunately I can't use night mode since the latest update. I know it's a 7.1.1 thing and Google has deactivated this function, but has anyone managed to get it working again? I really miss this feature but downgrading is not an option and apps like twilight can't provide the same functionality.
Best regards
you can always change white balance, it's been there since day 1 !

Thanks :good: That's a good advice! Not as convinient as an automatic function, but still.
For everyone who got the same problem: RGB 255,100,0 is pretty good.

True! But it works with Netflix.
I use 255,110,0 because it's not so reddish.
If you have root, I use cf.lumen
Twilight and other screen filter overlays cannot compare (for me) to real cf.lumen/night mode, the color is just not the same. (the blacks!!)
Thanks for the white balance tip though.

I also use CF.Lumen. Amazing, and way better (and customizable) than built-in night mode. You can set Daylight, Twilight, and Night color modes (I use normal color, 2200K, and Red-only for mine), and you can switch between them based on time, ambient light, or both.
What Android night mode needs to do, is actually switch to a night/dark/black theme during night mode. I understand some developer releases of MM and N sometimes did this, but I don't think it carried over to any release version. If I'm wrong, then I'm jelly

I agree, and talking about themes... is it possible to change the system ui from light to dark?
I looked at the black theme the phone comes with, but (for example) the system settings page is still light.

unable to remove the stock night mode

Hey everyone!
So I used to be on Android pie stock before switching to the Mi 9T. I activated their night mode which change the colors slightly during a certain period of time (just like lecture mode in MIUI).
However, this setting has been synchronised with this phone and I want to remove it, but there's no settings for the stock one in MIUI...
Is it possible to find the stock settings for this ?
Thanks in advance!
Here's the solution:-
Download system ui tuner from the playstore.
Give it the permissions it need using command prompt.
You can see some new options in your notification panel which is 'night mode' at click it when the yellow light turn's on.
