There are numerous apps for the phone (rooted) that alter the screen to remove blue light from the screen. I would really like this for the NVIDIA Shield.
Has anyone been successful in installing any such app / mod to remove blue light?
Would greatly appreciate knowing! I am fully open to rooting, or custom rom.

Hello all,
A long time ago I was messing with the trackball colors on my Nexus One with the Blink application. I uninstalled it, and later had formatted the phone. However, even when formatting the phone, I noticed the custom colors I set via Blink seemed to stay. For example, I colored the Google Voice voicemail notification green and a Facebook notification blue.
How can I make sure that Blink's settings are cleared out? Or, is it possible that Google has updated said apps to make the trackball flash certain colors?
Thanks all.
Mods: Move this as needed. Just noticed. Sorry.
Apps can flash trackball colors. The apps you mentioned are flashing their default colors as they should.
I am currently running coldblue_´s v5.
After playing with LED color on ilyaaa299´s ROM, now my LED color is white and LED control in system is not available. Full wipe did not help. I tried some 3rd party apps, but I had some problems, like LED blinks without missed call or message.
So, is it possible to change its color in ROM´s system directory?
Thank you.

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!
Hi
So let's take a break from pursuing after Lollipop and improve what we have
Well, many of us know that a report came out suggesting that 'blue light' emitting from screens of mobile phones, TVs, PCs etc is harmful to the eye and causes sleeping problems.
And then many apps started coming out which remove/filter the blue light from phone screens, such as Bluelight Filter, Dark Screen, Twilight etc.
These apps do what they say but :-
1) They don't do it perfectly
2) You have to manually disable them each time you install something or grant superuser access to an app
3) Few of them consume fair amount of battery
4) And some people may be annoyed by the fact that it always stays on the notification bar.
So here's another the way of removing the blue light without causing any of the above mentioned problems
The way is to change the kernel settings, rather the screen color settings by using kernel tweaking apps like Faux123, Trickster Mod etc which almost every custom kernel user has.
So open your kernel tweaking app and go to' Screen' settings or 'Screen Color' settings or whatever is there and just reduce the quantity of the blue color according to your preference
I have attached a screenshot of blue light being reduced using Trickster Mod app.
Don't forget to hit thanks if this helps
Thanks for the tip,

Which version of trickster mod did you use, i do not see anything related to screen settings in the version i have
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.
