[ICON]
Icons=8
;Icons number
Icon1=micon\1
;first icon file name,
Bg1=sun
;first weather background picture file name,
Weather1=Clear
;if the weather include string "Clear", it will use first icon micon\1.png in Chome, Normal theme will use micon\1.bmp/png/jpg
;as same as Icon1.....you can use "," between two string,like "Cloudy,Rain", means use the icon while the weather include both of two string
Icon2=micon\1
Bg2=sun
Weather2=Sunny

How about releasing the source code for it ?

sorry, i make mistake, i didn't config realtime weather in miniconfig1.ini, it just have 3 days weather, so Days=3,

I haven't think releasing the all source code

Nice program
But just wonder, is this for Smartphone.............sorry for my stupid question..

Check and correct your settings under "Connect"

Date
Sorry! Double post.See next post.
Thanks

Date
Why cant the date follow my "Regional Settings"?
Why is the "Humidity" and "Wind" condition not displayed?
I find the display from the previous version better with more info.
And any chance of having the temperature in C instead of in F? Yes I can change to C but the value is still in F!
What's this for:
[Goble]

Thanks

what is this theme for?

I got it to work, me stupid.
1. I forgot to put %20 for spaces on the ini.
2. I had to add back the plugin order back on the sliding panel.cpr file (organics doesn't use that). For some reason this one needs it.
3. I am creating a cab file, it should be done tonight, just need to verify the updates, need to add in the reg settings for the CWeather, and the Sliding Panel, everything else looks great.
This is a major improvement over the last one. I do miss Wind Speed/Humidity, but I might play with the Ini file to see if that would work.
Also it gives more then one page worth of info, with icons on all the pages.
X

@xfaith
see my pm on humidity and wind.
Why cant the date follow my Regional Settings?

What is this for? how is it implemented?

Nice, but did not see any Current Temp display? a must have for me...

I dont think I'll be having this installed for long unless the date format is according to my Regional Settings and the readings is in Celcius.
Thanks
Edit
After fiddling with the ini files and understanding it better, I find this apps suites my requirement perfectly. Its light weight and user configureable to choose which weather report provider. Update times are also very flexible.
So MiniWeather stays on my device.
Thanks

Display "Current" & "Forecast" conditions
How do I get both the "Current" & the "Forecast" conditions be displayed like the previous version?
How to convert to and display in Celsius?
<current_conditions>
<condition data="Haze"/>
<temp_f data="86"/>
<temp_c data="30"/>
<humidity data="Humidity: 49%"/>
<icon data="/images/weather/haze.gif"/>
<wind_condition data="Wind: mph"/>
</current_conditions>
-
<forecast_conditions>
<day_of_week data="Today"/>
<low data="77"/>
<high data="89"/>
<icon data="/images/weather/chance_of_storm.gif"/>
<condition data="Chance of Storm"/>
</forecast_conditions>
Edit
I managed to get the Current and day forecast displayed except that the time is not correctly displayed:
Currently 9:0
when it should be:
Currently 09:00
Thanks

Currently I am using one of the following url to sync my device time. It would be great if you can incorporate this too:
0.fr.pool.ntp.org
1.fr.pool.ntp.org
2.fr.pool.ntp.org
Can you explain more on the offset values. How do you determine the offset position and numbers?
Thanks

MiniWeather on CClock
Please tell how do you put the MiniWeather on the CClock slide??

[Research, Android 4.2] Try to enable multi user support on phones

Like we all know Google has decided that multi user support is only needed on tablet devices. I don't agree with Google here so right after I've got Android 4.2 on my Galaxy Nexus I started to do some research to get multi user support enabled. My goal was to get a generic app published (probably it needs root access) that would allow to enable multi user support on any Android 4.2 phone.
After some research I figured out this is not possible. Multi user support is deeply integrated into the OS and the only way to get it enabled is by modding a custom ROM. In my investigation I started looking at the AOSP source code. There are two entries points that are relevant: the new UserManager API checks if multi users are supported on the device and KeyguardHostView allows to switch users on the lock screen.
UserManager
If you don't already have the whole AOSP available then you can only download this repository:
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base
base/core/java/android/os --> UserManager.java --> function getMaxSupportedUser():
SystemProperties.getInt("fw.max_users",
Resources.getSystem().getInteger(R.integer.config_multiuserMaximumUsers))
This can be achieved quite easily. Open a shell and type:
su
setprop fw.max_users 5 (actually any value > 1 works)
Now the user menu is visible in Android settings. Here you can choose "Create new user" just like you do on your Nexus 7. A new user account is created and your phone is running in the new user account. In the QuickSettings notification bar you go back to your lock screen. However the icons to switch users are missing. So let's look at the lock screen....
KeyGuard
Download the repository:
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/policies/base
base/policy/src/com/android/internal/policy/impl/keyguard --> KeyguardHostView.java
Actually what happens here is that KeyboardHostView is trying to add the KeyguardMultiUserSelectorView layout into the lock screen if the number of users is greater than one. Unfortunately we will see an exception in logcat because layout R.id.keyguard_user_selector is simply not included in phone layouts. Probably we could change build.prop to enable tablet mode and get it enabled, but that's not really what we want to do.
Now the idea is to develop a lock screen widget that would simulate the KeyboardHostView. The app probably needs to be installed as system app so it's available for all users. So let's go ahead and look what exactly is happening...
First the list of users is retrieved:
UserManager um = (UserManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.USER_SERVICE);
um.getUserList()
This user list is added to KeyguardMultiUserSelectorView:
base/policy/src/com/android/internal/policy/impl/keyguard --> KeyguardMultiUserSelectorView.java
In order to finally switch users it just calls:
ActivityManagerNative.getDefault().switchUser(avatar.getUserInfo().id);
Doesn't really look like rocket science! Let's try to reproduce this in our own app....
Implementation
The UserInfo class (which is returned in a List in getUserList) is not included in Android SDK. Copy into your project from AOSP sources:
base/core/java/android/content/pm/UserInfo.java
Some little hack for a hidden constructor:
public UserHandle getUserHandle() {
// Constructor UserHandle(int) is hidden, use public constructor instead
Parcel pId = Parcel.obtain();
pId.writeInt(id);
return new UserHandle(pId);
}
Oh well, the UserManager.getUserList() is hidden. Use reflection to retrieve the user list:
List<UserInfo> users = new ArrayList<UserInfo>();
final UserManager userManager = (UserManager) getSystemService(Context.USER_SERVICE);
Method getUsers = userManager.getClass().getMethod("getUsers", null);
users = (List<UserInfo>) getUsers.invoke(userManager, null);
ActivityManagerNative is nowhere available. Use reflection to get an instance:
Class activityManagerNative = classLoader.loadClass("android.app.ActivityManagerNative");
Method getDefault = activityManagerNative.getMethod("getDefault", null);
Object instanceActivityManagerNative = getDefault.invoke(null, null);
Too lazy to figure out the proper call to getMethod, so just search for switchUser method:
Method switchUser = null;
Method methods[] = instanceActivityManagerNative.getClass().getDeclaredMethods();
for (Method m : methods) {
if (m.getName().equals("switchUser")) {
switchUser = m;
}
}
Call switch user with some ID that we retrieved from the user list:
switchUser.invoke(instanceActivityManagerNative, new Object[] { users.get(1).id } );
Executing this code will crash because we are missing some permissions....
Permissions
android.permission.MANAGE_USERS is needed for getUserList()
This permission has androidrotectionLevel="signature|system"
--> Install app in system partition (we'd like to do this anyway) and the permission is granted
android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL is needed for switchUser(). However this permission has androidrotectionLevel="signature".
Here we can already stop because the app needs to be signed with platform key in order to get this permission. Sadly there's no way we can do this on devices with a retail firmware. Only way to get this permission is by building our own ROM from AOSP.
Besides, the alternative permission android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS only has androidrotectionLevel="signature|system" but it seems this is not good enough for switchUser()....
Implementation in Custom ROMs
As we can directly modify the framework files this shouldn't be too much effort:
--> set the fw.max_users system property to a value > 1
--> copy the KeyguardMultiUserSelectorView layout from a tablet device (R.id.keyguard_user_selector)
I don't really have the time and motivation to maintain any custom ROMs so I'm stopping here.

Thanks!
Hey just wondering if you could explain more on the second part. I got the first part enabled perfectly. Thanks

what do you exactly mean with "second part"?

If you don't mind root access then you can use Switchme. It's an app that allows user profiles to be created and used. It's fairly stable too.

I know about Switchme. However this thread is only about Android's native user management.

Lol sorry I got the user tab to show up. Now i need the lockscreen features haha sorry

You can only achieve this my compiling from source and migrate the user selection view into the phone layout. The most complicated part is probably to find some free space on the screen

Native multi user support works on Android 4.2 phone
I've got Android 4.2 on my Galaxy Nexus I started to do some research to get multi user support enabled. After some research I figured out this is very simple. It is only two steps from native multi user support on your phone.
1. First of all you need to enable "User" menu in Android settings:
Open build.prop file with any text editor and add line (actually any value > 1 works):
fw.max_users=5
2.Next, to make the icons to switch users visible - change display resolution.
Open build.prop file with any text editor find line with parameter ro.sf.lcd_density and change value from 320 to 192
Save changes what you made just. Reboot your phone and enjoin native multi user support on your phone.

The different density activates the tablet layout. But your apps and everything changes from phone UI to tablet UI as well, doesn't it?

Yes it's possible, I wrote this in my analysis as well. But for daily use a phone is simply not usable when using the tablet UI.

I got the multi-users running nicely with Vanilla RootBox and changing the screen density.
Is there no quick way to "hack" the x,y co-ords of the icons? Rather than compiling a full build? I don't mind tinkering, but don't really want to start creating full builds when the Rom I'm using is running nicely without it.
EDIT - solved.
Okay, found a simple way via:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37146983
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063195

OP, may I ask something?
Is it possible for a third party app (not a system app) to check if there is more than 1 user that uses the device?
if not, would root help?

[WIDGET][YotaPhone2]Yota Toolbelt 1.0.4

Introduction
What is it?
Yota Toolbelt is my stab at developing something useful for the Yotaphone 2. It's a functional widget for the back screen, combined with a simple front screen widget. It has been tested on the latest Lollipop firmware (1.44).
What it does?
- The front screen widget allows you to toggle mirroring mode with a single click.
- The back screen widget allows you to toggle mirroring, wifi, Bluetooth, wifi tethering, ringer mode and YotaEnergy. Additionally you can place shortcuts to URLs to open your favorite websites quickly.
- The new "Contact list" action allows you to browse your contact list, make calls and send SMS's from it.

Installation instructions
I'm not going to bother putting this on Google Play because of the extra work with little benefit, so you have to install the apk manually. Here's how:
1. Check "allow installation of apps from unkown sources" from Settings - Security so that you can install the file.
2. Download the apk file and put it on your phone, or download it to your phone directly.
3. Open the apk file with some file manager and install it.
After this you can add the front screen widget like you would add any widget, by long pressing your home screen, selecting widgets, and then dragging the "Yota Toolbelt" on your home screen.
The back screen widget can be added from Yotahub.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Known issues
- This Widget requires Lollipop to work. No backwards compatibility.
- The battery widget doesn't have push effect. Also, toggling YotaEnergy on takes surprisingly long time. There's nothing I can do about that.

Click to collapse
FAQ
The graphics.. They look.. ehrm..
- Awesome, right!? I'm a programmer, not an artist. If someone wants to create new graphics for the widget, I am very willing to change them. Each button should be the same size, at least 140x140px.
What are all these permissions?
- Bluetooth/Wifi/Network permissions are required for toggling wifi and Bluetooth directly without the system's dialogs.
- The vibration permission allows the buttons to vibrate on click.
- The READ_CONTACTS permission is for the new contact list portion, allowing it to list your contacts.
- The PHONE_CALL permission is for making a call using the front screen's dialer.
- The READ_PHONE_STATE is used for making the "lock EPD on dial" function work

For developers
I had to do some serious reverse engineering to figure out how to activate and deactivate the mirroring and YotaEnergy, so to save everyone's time, here's how to do it:
Activate mirroring from front screen:
Code:
Intent i = new Intent("yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_START");
context.sendBroadcast(i);
i = new Intent("yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_START_MANUAL");
context.sendBroadcast(i);
Activate mirroring from back screen:
Code:
Intent i = new Intent("yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_START_FROM_BS");
context.sendBroadcast(i);
Deactivate mirroring:
Code:
Intent i = new Intent("yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_STOP");
context.sendBroadcast(i);
To check is mirroring on right now, and to lock the EPD (asynchronous):
Code:
ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className, IBinder service) {
IFrameworkService mService = IFrameworkService.Stub.asInterface(service);
boolean isMirroringOn = mService.isMirroringOn();
mService.lockBackScreen();
}
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName className) {}
};
Intent i = new Intent("yotaphone.intent.action.GET_SERVICE_BINDER").setPackage("com.yotadevices.yotaphone2.bsmanager");
context.getApplicationContext().bindService(i, mConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
//Remember to unbind when you don't need the service anymore
To detect when mirroring is started, listen for the following broadcast:
Code:
yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_START
To detect when mirroring ends, listen for both of these broadcasts:
Code:
yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_STOP_MANUAL
yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_STOP
To turn YotaEnergy on:
Code:
final Intent i = new Intent("yotaphone.intent.action.POWERSAVE_START");
context.sendBroadcast(i);
To turn YotaEnergy off:
Code:
final Intent i = new Intent("yotaphone.intent.action.POWERSAVE_STOP");
context.sendBroadcast(i);
To open Yota's EPD browser:
Code:
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.yotadevices.yotaphone.yd_browser", "com.yotadevices.yotaphone.yd_browser.BSBrowser"));
i.putExtra("URL_TO_OPEN", "http://www.google.com");
context.startService(i);

Suggest features
I am open to suggestions for functions to add. Functions I've considered:
Flashlight - this one's doable, but it seems a little pointless. How are you going to turn the flashlight on in the dark when there's no backlight on the EPD?
Volume/Vibrate/Silent toggle - Probably doable, but requires some work so that it's easy to use.
Rotation lock - Not sure about this, but pointless anyway. The rear screen doesn't support horizontal view in the first place, unless you're mirroring, and then you might as well use widgets on your front screen.
Airplane mode - This one requires root access, and is quite hacky to implement.
NFC toggle - Cannot be done without root.
GPS toggle - Cannot be done without root.
Any ideas?

Thanks for doing this.
You might want to add Hotspot and data network
Would you be able to add Shortcuts? That would be very useful and its a shame the stock app does not allow this.

I'll look into your suggestions. I think the hotspot function required root access, and that is not very user friendly.
About the shortcuts - Isn't the stock Apps Launcher widget exactly what you're looking for?

the stock app allows links to apps only. Shortcuts are a subset of apps that can be added to the desktop. Eg in Google Maps you can create a shortcut on your homescreen that starts directions to a pre set destination. Or eg Chrome allows shortcuts to websites to be placed on the homescreen.
Edit: This may be beyond the scope of this widget. Apologies

Ah, I see. I've never used these before.
It is possible yes, but the biggest issue here is how you create and associate them to the widget. By default the shortcuts are created by the applications, like Chrome and Google Maps, and those applications send the shortcut Intent to the Launcher application. There is no way of telling the system that the shortcut should show up on this widget.
It probably could be possible to create these shortcuts manually for supported applications, like Chrome, but that would require quite a lot of work.

Nice work @Jeopardy! Thanks for sharing some dev notes too, might be useful for future widgets/apps.
PS You could officially kick off the "YotaPhone Original Android Development" device subforum with your widget (0 threads there now).

Thank you. Yeah I was wondering for the right place to put this. Now that you mentioned it, I guess the proper place would be the Original Android Development, but to put it there now would require a moderator.

Since I am using the "default" black theme I would prefer to have an option to switch between "black" and "white" version. I already created the changed images to basically switch your images to "all transparent" with white icons and a white circle around them for "pressed status". Since I am a new user I can't attach them to the post yet. Can you tell me a way to share them with you?
Besides that: can you share the sources of your widget to allow us to build upon it ourselves?
Thanks for your work on this!

I just sent you a private message about those images.
I'll consider sharing the source later. At the moment it is rather messy and very much hardcoded. I am currently rewriting the configuration Activity to allow rearranging of the icons and adding some new functions. It will take some time for me to finish this to a level I'm satisfied with.

Thanks for the info. Looking forward to see updates to this useful tool (and the first widget posted in here!).

the stock app allows links to apps only. Shortcuts are a subset of apps that can be added to the desktop. Eg in Google Maps you can create a shortcut on your homescreen that starts directions to a pre set destination. Or eg Chrome allows shortcuts to websites to be placed on the homescreen.
Edit: This may be beyond the scope of this widget. Apologies

I just released an update which addresses your idea of shortcuts for system's default browser (Chrome) and EPD's browser. Now the widget's framework is so flexible that it is very easy to add new shortcut targets. The only problem (still) is that the shortcuts have to be created manually from the widget, which means relatively complex dialogs. Shortcuts for browser is extremely handy, but can you think of some other app whose shortcuts would be as useful?

That was to be expected. I don't think they included the SDK library until Lollipop. Sorry.

Major update
Okay, here's a new update for you guys.
First off, the minor (but important fixes) include fixing nonresponsive buttons if the device has been inactive for a long time, and some minor optimizations.
The big new function is a fully functional contacts list! I had been working on this for a while, waiting for Yota to update their caller app so I wouldn't have to do it. But it seems they are busy doing something else. So I became impatient and decided to include it here, as it needs an EPD widget anyway to launch it. So just add the contact list widget to the toolbelt from options, open it from the back screen, and you can browse all your contacts (with phone numbers) and then call them directly from the EPD. It also supports sending SMS's, but the catch is that it uses the front screen SMS editor via mirroring, not Yota's sleek EPD editor. The reason for this is there's no way to hook up to Yota's editor.
While I was building this update I also noticed quite serious security flaw in Yota's EPD dialer app. By default if you want to make a phone call from your app you need to add android.permission.CALL_PHONE to your manifest. However, I found out that Yota has left their EPD dialer app completely open for any app to ask for immediate phone call (like mine does), without any permissions what-so-ever. What were they thinking?
It also became frustratingly clear how bad the SDK is at the moment. The documentation is nonexistent, and you cannot even create dialogs. So many workarounds had to be made to make this work nicely.
But anyways, let me hear your opinions and experiences. There's bound to be some bugs somewhere and there's plenty of room to expand the contact list portion, provided I have the time.

Looking forward to trying the newest version. Thanks for building this!
You might want to consider contacting the Indiegogo campaign folks, as it looks like you've earned yourself a free phone. I can't post the link because I guess I'm too new a user on here, but if you look at the updates and scroll down to "25 days ago":
FYI: If anyone successfully develops an application or service to work natively for the "always on" display I will reward them with a YotaPhone 2 for FREE at the end of the campaign!

Hi thanks for standing in where yota appear to lack
just downloaded and installed but although the contacts list works well the phone dialer doesnt but i do have a call confirm slider app (used to stop wrongly dialed numbers) which could block this (it does the same with yota dialer)
only way i have managed to work around this is to mirror the android dialer app but would be nice if you could? do anything?
like your commitment to develop - think you should look at a donate function somewhere..would buy you a coffee or two for your efforts

Basically what I do, is ask the official EPD dialer to make the phone call for me. If your call confirm slider app blocks the yota dialer, it will also block this. I guess you cannot add exceptions to the caller app? (Probably not, knowing Android's telephony API...)
An ugly workaround for your specific case would be for me to turn mirroring on when you press the call-button from my contacts list, and then ask the system's default dialer to make the call. Then your call confirm slider app would show up normally in the mirrored mode and you could finish the call. I might consider adding this later on as a setting somewhere, but no promises. It would be a lot cleaner if the mirroring mode would not be needed to finish the call, because turning it on takes quite a while and is a hassle to deal with when trying to do simple actions.
What is the name of the app you are using? I'll take a look.

Settings Database Editor tweaks

I've been playing around with an app called "Settings Database Editor" and found some very cool tweaks that don't require root. It does require you to run "adb shell pm grant by4a.setedit22 android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" on a computer though. Also sidenote, I'm not the creator of this app just stumbled across it on the play store and found some really cool things that it enables you to tweak on the S8.
In the tab "global" there are values for "transition_animation_scale", "animator_duration_scale", and "window_animation_scale" if you have development options enabled then you're probably familiar with these settings but with this you can tweak it to the exact scale you'd like instead of being limited to 7 different preset scales.
And in the tab "global" there is a value called "display_size_forced" by looking at the value set it seems to be what Settings -> Display -> Screen resolution is set to, maybe this will allow a wider range of resolutions instead of the 3 presets we get?
There's a bunch more tweaks, it's worth a look through

Yup there if you look there is an option called qs_tile_column, qs_tile_row, and qs_tile_column_landscape under secure. Just make sure not to set it to 1 otherwise SystemUI will go into a crash loop and renders your phone completely useless until you use adb to change the settings back. If you don't have usb debugging on you may be forced to do a factory reset

So I cant have just one row of tiles? Also, just a bit confused on how to actually use the app. I plus my phone into my PC and run some command in CMD? I just want like a 1*4 (x,x,x,x) How would I add tiles back if I wanted them?

Changing the number of QS columns is totally possible using the System UI Tuner app in the Play Store, I've successfully changed mine to 7 columns, but I've also tested it with as little as 3 columns.

Google took out support for hangouts as an SMS app the end of may. It is no longer possible to use hangouts with an actual phone number unless it's a Google voice number

You can use this method to change the default install location. Just throwing that out there, it's under Global in the app. You can also add your own settings, if I knew what the hell I was doing I'd add them, but have to imagine if I play around with Tasker or extract activities and intents from other apps that use secure settings, etc... This might give us at least some flexibility. I am beyond frustrated with lack of root on this phone, coming from LG v10, I was really relying on the Galaxy community to come through on this device. Still holding out hope.

I also just used this to turn off the Brightness Warning, under Global I went to "limit_brightness_state" and changed "80, 80" to "100,100"... warning gone.

The new Update from T-Mobile broke the changes I made here in quick settings. It's now just a blank box entirely. Damn
Nevermind went in and change to 5 and then back to 7 and all is well again

Noticed this too but not until after I got recent tmo update. I haven't had a chance to troubleshoot but it's either related to the update or the setting reverts on reboot. Seems like one of those settings it'd be better to change with a script on boot. Man I miss root. I had successfully changed all settings again after tmo update but reboot killed it. I'm gonna try grant permissions via adb again to see if the settings will stick at some point...ah well

I haven't updated on tmobile and it still happened. I believe it's a on reboot thing. What's weird is in the app it still shows my settings to 100,100. I'm going to try to set it again to see if its an error in the app showing wrong values. Because I notices when you change the tether requirement to 0, it always switches back to 1
Update: I just checked the app and now it's showing null for my limit brightness again. Put it back to 100, 100 and its working fine. Will try to see if it sticks on reboot
Double update : settings stayed after boot

It's weird man. One thing I noticed would looking into something else was that under apps inactive app in developer settings the database editor was some how set to inactive. I'm guessing it could be a battery thing maybe due to power saving settings. Maybe need to turn off all battery optimization for this. I'll gonna hopefully used Tasker to automate changes at boot and keep active.

try adding or moding this setting under (secure) without quotes "sms_default_application" and the setting value is

I'm not sure if this will work, but try setting it back to defaultand install systemui tuner and messing with the immersive mode setting. Also, enable the touch bar (the new Oreo setting that gives you the circle that acts like the soft keys.)
Why did you even disable that in the first place? If you want it fully back, you have to reset your phone.

[DEPRECATED] Night Light on Nexus 5x/6P Android O

Hey all,
So I'd like to share my discovery with all of you.
Yesterday I was playing around with my Rooted Nexus 5x on Android O DP2 and later found that I activated Night Light in Settings>Display.
The requirements are:
A rooted Nexus 5x/6P on Android O
Pixel Theme placed in vendor/overlay
Developer Options enabled
Steps:
What you want to do is:
1. Add the Pixel theme to vendor/overlay (there are a lot of articles online for this)
2. Change your smallest width in Developer Options to 450.
3. Activate the Pixel theme in Settings>Display>Advanced>Theme
4. Voila
Why does it work?
I honestly don't know if I were to take a guess, it would be that the combination of Pixel theme and DPI trigger the software to think it's a Pixel, but again, just a guess...
I am attaching screenshots of everything and also the overlay file I used, please report back whether it worked or not!
Cheers!

Interesting! Since its already there, we should be able to trigger it without root and UI.
We need figure out what it wrote to settings.
Could you dump adb output of these 3 command, try to filter out key and value related to night mode.
I check mine and could not find one, perhaps it never existed since I never had a chance to access it yet.
Code:
adb shell settings list system
adb shell settings list global
adb shell settings list secure
Then we should be able trigger Night Light using app that can write custom key to settings like AutoTools.
Maybe one time adb command is need to grant the app permission to write secure settings depend on where the value is stored.
Developer can write an app for the switch. Better yet, Night Light quick settings tile!!
EDIT: You may also placed the Night Light tile on Quick Settings, check values of 'sysui_qs_tiles' under secure settings list.
We might be able to just add Night Light tile there using adb command.

Arghh, totally forgot about this. They likely only start laying ground works for this kind of overlay capability around N-O (quite fresh).
Probably in-preparation for Project Treble, make it easier for OEM to configure devices. Forgo the need of modify main framework for each device.
However, I just did a quick look inside overlay apks posted above. They are no night light related strings laying around, good news for us.
As of O, our main framework-res should be the same as Pixels. This is the reason they made overlay like this.
Nevertheless, whatever detection mechanism they using for Night Light detection. There are using switch and intensity slider in settings mean they will be save inside settings provider.
We can hook onto it.
The method you mentioned was used in N, they modified that value for each device.

Thanks, those values store inside 'secure settings'.
I tried manually insert them into settings, actually got settings app displayed 'Night Light On' message.
Night Light itself is not working, looks like they still do some explicit check on certain conditions which your method some how have met.

I followed your steps, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work.
I first extracted the theme to the folder "overlay" i created in vendor. Rebooted and applied the theme succesfully. Then opened dev option and adjusted the min width to 450, it changed to 449 automatically. Nothing happened. Rebooted but still nothing.
Anyway thanks, I will try it again later cause i loved Night Mode.

Did you try my overlay file? If yes, it contains the rro type too, switch between that and Pixel while on 449 smallest width (yes it switches to 449 automatically) and your screen should flicker and your settings screen should move down one row! Please let me know if it works!

Not working for me.
Using rooted Nexus 5X Android O DP2
I copied all files in /vendor/overlay/ folder.
I have the option to select a theme, I can select 2 themes but nothing is changing if i clock on them.
I also changed my min DPI to 449 like you said in your post.
