Can anyone help me with how to obtain the actual colors that are present in an app so I can customize my colors properly in PA? It drives me batty when I can get close to an apps color, such as the purple in Viber, but not quite right.
Thanks

if you use franco kernel and his app... theres a RGB included so you can see.
Thanks to you both, was having a fit trying to find the right method.

he means this
its not kernel related, its hybrid engine doing it.
i use the above color picker aswell. one of us is currently working on making an algo that can scan the current recent-thumbnails for prominent colors. you'll get a special palette with these and it will be way easier to pick the right ones. meanwhile use a picker and the recents button so jumping back and forth is not such a pain.
Hey moles, thanks for the info. I'm doing exactly that right now, back and forth and back and forth using that app.

I wonder why Google didn't give us this update that the hacking community has had for so long. Thoughts?
Because they didn't even give us this update... who knows, maybe it will be in the actual release, if this isn't it.
Edit:
It seems that there IS this feature built in, just depens on the app, etc... at least some are reporting colored track ball alerts for differing apps.
I can confirm the above edit. I get different colors but no way of changing to a preference.

Which colors for which alerts? Mine seems white for everything.
On my GF stock nexus phone i updated to froyo and for text it came up as magenta color.
I tried using handcent sms to change the color but i dont think it is configured yet to control that.
Damn, mine's still white.
I just did a little test with AK notepad and set a notification to glow green and sure enough, it works. I guess the individual apps have to give you the option to change the color.

handcent allowed me to change color of notification, and it did work
People are getting mixed results with the trackball. I can get AK Notepad to work, but nothing else does. On an AT&T N1

That's what it is. I use SMS Popup for my text notification and the app itself gives me the option to change the trackball color. Everything else is still white.
AK notepad works for me
I can see lilhermit creating a working patch for stock 2.2 seeing that Trackball Alert should work just fine now

Uhm, SMS Popup allows you to use any color for SMS. And I use the Bloo Facebook App that gives me a dark blue notification when I get comments, wall posts, etc.
My color trackball works with AK notepad!
Change the LED color settings, create a new note, set the remind and turn standby mode (press power button) and wait!
I wonder if the .34 kernel from cyanogen breaks the trackball . For those of u who its working what kernel version you have? .34 or .32 stock
I really miss trackball alert and the modifications made to the messaging app, I need my colored notifications back!
There's a reason there are no configurable colors for the trackball.
The update to the trackball is behind the scenes and it's meant for the developers. It's up to the application makers to choose the colors for their notifications.
On the plus side, this is android and that's why we have things like lilhermits trackball notifcation alert modifier. =)
Trackball colors IS in Android 2.2:

Well I was wrong about the color trackball notifications. Apparently there is an API for it now (I don't mind being wrong haha)

The STOCK Google apps don't let you configure the colors, but I'm sure someone will whip up an app to control all the colors within 1 or 2 days
Yeah I'm disappointed with froyo because I wanted color track ball for my gmail, talk, etc. How will third party developers be involved with the core stock Google apps? That was the whole point, Google! I'm sure its only 3 lines of code to add into settings to switch the color.
Otherwise you would just root in the first place which defeats the whole point of waiting all this time for official support in froyo.
Third party developers can and already do send the information to light up the trackball.
I'm looking at some fascinate screenshots and notice some people have a black notification bar. Is there a setting somewhere for this that I'm just not seeing?

No setting. It is usually a theme that is being used. You will need to be rooted and deodexed to use a theme. There are some in the theme forum that will work for you once you are.
If CyanogenMod is ever ported over then there are settings built in to that ROM that can be used to accomplish this.

What if I wanted to darken the neon blue that you see on the loading popup messages? Could I do this easily myself?
There's a couple of themes that will do it. I use the Frost Remix NexTheme. Good ****.
Oh yeah I definitely know about themes (had about 15 different ones on my droid lol), but I thought these were stock screenshots because everything looked the same except the notification bar.
HI all,
So I'm at a loss and hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Installed Alliance ROM onto my Verizon Note 3. So far I'm quite impressed with the ability to customize so many aspects of the interface. But my noob status working with android is causing me to get confused. I'm encountering a UI element that is used in popup menus that currently is displaying white text on a light grey background (as seen in the attached images) Could someone show me where to find the adjustment to change that UI element is?
Also I was a fan of the ability to swipe and launch the camera on the Stock ROM, but I was able to set my preferred app on stock. Don't see anything listed under Default Applications, also when I look at the stock camera's App Info, the Clear defaults button is greyed out. I'm unable to choose which app I want to launch since installing this ROM. I found a workaround by setting Shortcuts to Custom and selecting my app that way, but I liked the Stock ROM's grey button as opposed to using the apps actual icon.
Thanks for any help you can send my way,
Josh
Anyone have any ideas about the grey background. I'd appreciate any help, thanks

In AllianceRom Custom Settings under Colors, go to Background -> System and you can change the background of most system apps/menus, it is a universal change but you can enable/disable apps effected in the Whitelist menu.
Thanks for the idea! I'm trying but still can't seem to get that gray background to change. Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

You could try wiping cache/davlik in SS, or try flashing a theme like All Backs Black. Other than that the only other thing I can think of is wiping/flashing the rom and starting over but that seems like overkill.
From what I know, I asked the same question in the ROM thread and the answer was this is a bug they are gonna have fixed in Build 2.
Thank you so much guys for the ideas and info. I was going crazy trying different combos of settings to get it to change. I'll look into trying a theme. I was already flirting with the idea of having to try doing a full reinstallation. But if its a known bug I can deal with it, the benefits of using this ROM so outweigh the annoyance of the grey menus. Thanks again!
I'm one of those lucky people who gets chronic migraines. The primary trigger for me is bright light... especially looking at bright, white screens with black text. Consequently, I've spent quite a bit of time trying to invert screen color... which is fine unless you are looking at pictures or video.
I know that I can change my Note 4 settings to invert the colors, but that simply isn't practical. I've been able to get some of the modifications I need by swapping out applications. For instance, I use Chomp SMS and have found a great plug-in for firefox that inverts the color without inverting the images. I've also been able to make some system mods through Xposed using Wanam's module. But these are only bandaids. I'm really looking for something that will work system-wide, for light text and dark background.
My phone is a Sprint Galaxy Note 4 running Lollipop 5.1.1. Does anyone have any suggestions? Would upgrading to Marshmallow help? Or how about changing out the ROM?
If nothing that would work systemwide, does anyone have a suggestion for an email app that will invert the text color? The stock Samsung email app is really tough for me.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Hey, Guys
I accidentally stumbled upon Blue light filter feature hidden on my A5 2016 Nougat Stock ROM.
Here is how to access it.
Install Nova Launcher (I used only this)
Add Widget , Choose Nova.. Then Choose "Activities". Scroll Down to find "Settings". Under Settings, you can find Blue Light filter. Select it.
It can now be accessed through the Nova widget.
Blue light filter didn't work for me. Guys, you try and let me know. I think all the A (6) series Nougat ROM have this hidden feature.
Screenshot Attached
I already notice this since MM, read my post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/general/launch-activity-setting-t3621078
But not found a way to upload screenshoot.

If you mean "enable", No. It doesn't enable it on the notification panel.
The method would just dig it up and unhide the feature. It gives you the access to the feature which is not available in a normal setting.
Just try it and let me know if the blue light is really getting filtered out or it is just lying there like a dummy setting.
I tried to change the Opacity. I saw no colour change on the screen.
I just posted this to know how it functions for other XDA members on their A(6) series phones.
Someone at XDA would come up with an idea or workaround to make it work and probably also put it on Notification Panel.
Just waiting!

Ok thank you for your reply. I think is a problem from the kernel because on custom Rom port from gs7 or gs8 aod and blue light filter are not working so the I think they have try to hide those feature but you can still see those because it's a port of the system ui

You are most welcome, McFy.
Yes, it has to do with the kernel. But it is not a problem. Samsung has deliberately left out the feature at Kernel level. If someone comes up with a custom kernel that supports this feature, yes, it might work.
Maybe on Framework too. When I tried to switch the display mode from Basic to Adaptive, it prompted me to disable Blue Light Filter to proceed with the mode change.
So I assume it didn't work for you too.
We can surely live without this feature. Still, it would have been pleasant to our eyes during nights (better sleep) and also our blue OLED pixels could have had the chance to live little longer. LOL

Lol, yes they are not feature I need but I reach how to enable the multwindow one my phone because I have nougqt and Samsung have disable it but on the dev option some setting for multwindow mode are present but change nothing I don't know how to enable it
I already added it in my ROM.
One thing I can surely tell you is that you won't be able to get this feature without editing framework and custom kernel.

Yes, I thought it had something to do with Kernel as well as Framework. Thank you for the information.
As I researched through, it looks like your ROM Advanced Seven for A710XX has been ported to A510XX by that kid, @DasNuddel. It looks like you have done an awesome work. And DasNuddel also has done his work very well in bringing the ROM to A510 devices.
Thanks, man!!

I tried Lux and CF Lumen in the past but I settled for Twilight for its simple interface. I have been using Twilight for years. I thought a native feature would be better. That's all. We didn't miss it on Marshmallow, definitely that's something we can live without.
I just wanted to get some insight on that hidden dummy feature.
I will give CF Lumen another try. It's been years. I expect some improvements. Thanks for your suggestion.

Twilight does not has root mode which means that the it applies a Filter which lights up the black areas of screen also, but cf lumen in root mode changes the colour of the screen so, black areas remain black. That's why I prefer it. You're welcome!

I tried CF Lumen as you suggested. Wow! Yes, I noticed the difference. Twilight just washes the screen with colours.
Previously, I tried CF Lumen on an LCD screen phone. That's why I didn't see the difference. CF Lumen is a right choice for an AMOLED device with root privilege. Now I know what I had been missing all these years. Psst!
I compared CF Lumen and Twilight, approximately same settings(I think). There was a stunning difference!! CF Lumen any night!!!
For reference, I have attached the comparison screenshots of my home screen. Forget the whites, just look at the blacks. I hope it helps others.
Thanks again, Updesh!
I have used Blue ligth filter in my roms with snapdragon (Here you only need to edit services.jar and BLF and AOD works)
But I with a friend created a mod BLF with more options than the BLF of N7 samsung and do not need to edit services.jar / framework.res or kernel.
It is a mod with more options:
Code:
Sepia
Black
Brown
Red
This made it work in grace ux 6.0.1 I just have to update the smalis to nougat and maybe manage to make it work on my rom Nougat A5 2016
