hi all, looking for a rom for my N7 that can change the display to only display red for when i use sky safari on it while out stargazing. (red helps protect night vision) on my nexus one with CM7 it has render effects settings screen where you can change the color of the whole os to basic colors etc. any roms out for the N7 that can do this globally as well? and before you say it yes sky safari has this feature inside, problem is unlock screen does not as well as say accidentally hitting home etc. one bright flash of white light and you loose dark adaptation for 5-10 even 20 min so its kind of important and most people go the easy simple route of putting red cellophane on their screens, but if i can get around that and i know its possible to i would like to.

google skymap has a night view mode built in.

apparently sky safari has a night view mode built in also, look for it in the settings.

yeah sky safari has it, and it also has a setting to keep the device from sleeping because the problem is the lock screen and any other screen you might accidentally pull up will not be a dim red light and will instantly damage night vision if pulled up. anyways i rooted my N7 and took at look at a few roms and so far have not found one with this feature. looks like it was put into CM7 for the potential power savings due to the screen on the nexus one as well as many other phones being AMOLED. on tablets with LCD's theres no savings to be had so nobody's implemented it into a JB rom so far.
Tasker might do what you need. You make a profile to do things like dim screen brightness, change wallpapers, dim/kill LED notifications, etc. Set it to trigger when you open your Skymap app & your light sensor senses that it is dark (I don't know what that setting looks like).
This app has astronomers moder for the red tint.

I've been trying out Professional Photo mode for awhile now but it just seems yellow-ish.
Standard seems to be okay.
Does anyone else have similar issues?
I was told that Professional Photo mode is more color-accurate

That mode has a larger colour space meant for certain professional photo apps. For movies, and everyday normal life use Movie mode. If you like exaggerated colours go for one of the other options.

Adapt Display Yes.
Auto-brightness No.
I use a Black Background on my Homescreen with White Text (DashClock) and it looks yellowish in either Pro Photo Mode or Movie Mode
I have tried professional photo as well, but somehow went back to standard mode. But for reading books, professional mode is nice as the screen looks warmer.

Weird, I use Ocean HD (beautiful live wallpaper) mostly since I got mine on a charger 90% of the time and discharge it fully every 2-4 weeks. Maybe I forgot to mention a setting or it is a defect of some kind (software or hardware).
Worst case you could reset your phone to default and immediately set it to Movie mode to see if your clean phone already has these problems. Hope you get this resolved soon, and by simple means.

maybe it is something wrong with my eyes. Standard is definitely more blue whereas Pro Photo and Movie are more warm in color.
there's a switch when I reboot my phone from Blue hue to warm.

Yes, after a reboot it starts at a default screen mode setting and after a couple of seconds it checks your settings and then changes it. I noticed this an hour or so ago on my Note 3.

The default is Adapt Display, which on your homescreen exaggerates colours, so my blue underwater Ocean HD screen looks even more blue. It switches to 'normal' blue.
I just checked some more settings, but are you by any chance using Power saving mode or any of those other fancy settings? Having owned 7 Samsung Galaxy devices by now I always immediately make a round through all settings and switch off everything that is useless (to me). I hate stuff like auto-brightness, which may be great in a car if you use the phone hands free.

hmm I use power savings mode but only Limit CPU and Disable Haptic Feedback. I unchecked Auto Adjust Screen Tone too (it supposedly saves power)
Do you use Lux to adjust brightness?
hmm. mine is a black background with just DashClock in White Text. it gets a little yellowish.
In Standard. it is like mint white.

I would disable Power savings etc. for now to see if it helps. I remember some option with "Lux" in it, but really I just disabled Auto-brightness and adjust the brightness level in the notification panel.

I gave it a try before but it still looks kinda warm/yellow. it is not like there is a yellow tint/screen but the screen just looks warmer.
I've actually never seen an Amoled with Perfect white color.. always a bit to the warm side..
I tried both Movie and professional mode, don't like them at all more yellowish/greenish on the white
especially when comparing it to an IPS LCD screen... then the NOTE 3 is very warm and a tiny bit greenish on white (standard mode) only really visible when side by side with example LG G2...
But then on the LG G2 skin tones looks a bit pale, and with to blueish/cold
so it comes down to what you prefer
I'm a bit torn between them... but when it comes down to choosing I think i prefer the Note 3 screen...
Remember NOTHING IS PERFECT
Hey just wondering if anyone who has an LG G6 knows how to make youtube videos fill the screen. I was testing in store models of G6 and S8 and the videos on the S8 filled the entire screen.
I believe you can change the scaling on the G6. The s8 does for sure, however if you looked carefully you would have noticed when the s8 was displaying the YouTube videos and filling up the whole screen that some of the top and bottom (when viewing in landscape) were chopped off.
Scaling doesn't work on YouTube yet. I saw this in a review before I got my G6 and when I got my phone and tried to scale the YT screen, nothing happened. Apps that allow scaling have an icon you can click on to change the ratio. Swipe from the top of the screen and you'll see it. Not there with YT. Hopefully it will change soon.

interesting. I was definitely able to scale, with an arrow-like icon over-layed on the youtube video while testing the Galaxy S8... checked the version numbers on both phones; YouTube V 11.xxxxx on the G8, and Version 12.xxxx on the LG. Wonder if this scalability is a "feature" of touchwiz...

G6's unusual aspect ratio is the reason why - 18:9 instead of 16:9. (Not sure why they don't round down to 2:1, oh well!) But even when the icon is there, I've noticed that one game of mine gives three scaling options, but I can't measure the display changing at all no matter the setting. The only thing that changed was one splash screen while the game loaded (Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes) and who the hell cares about that. Otherwise, it's the same size at 16:9, 16.7:9 and 18:9. That's probably the only negative thing about this phone for me, although it's not a huge negative. I like it a lot and will keep it. Video today is produced typically at 16:9, I think a handful of streaming shows are now 18:9. So even if you were able to scale YouTube videos to 18:9 on the G6, you'd have to get cropping or mild stretching distortion? Maybe on a phone screen that wouldn't be too noticeable. I really don't know.
Like I said, not a dealbreaker for me. But I don't watch a ton of video on my phone and black bars don't bother me in general. But not everyone is like me, and I can understand this could bother people. Something to consider if you're thinking about this phone. Although the S8 has an even more odd ratio of 18.5:9. Maybe this longer format will become more common.

Gotcha. Then you're probably right about the software difference.
---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 PM ----------
When you scaled the S8, did you notice any loss in video quality?
Not really, minimal if anything but that screen is so juiced with color (I like the LCD over AMOLED) that I'm not sure if I would've noticed.
I'm gonna stop in another store and give it a go.... see if theres something I was missing.
I have read on GSMArena that Google has given hints and helped apps devs to add scaling to 18:9 so that the apps can work properly with G6 and S8
Scaling works in YouTube Music but it pushes the video to the bottom of the screen leaving a big black bar at the top. Strange
For some reason, the software on the g6 limits manual control over app scaling to apps that were not preinstalled.
If you use the service code *#546368#*xxx# where xxx is your device model
Example: *#546368#*872# for T-Mobile H872
Then go to SVC Menu and scroll down to the bottom to find Force Long Display and set it to Enable, it'll force 18:9 in everything. You'll need to reboot after.
You'll still get black bars in anything that isn't formatted for 18:9, aka most videos and such but it won't default to lower aspect ratios for apps anymore.
I've attached a screenshot showing it.

Do this first *#546368#*870# for International version, then Force Long Display from SVC Menu and set it to Enable; but it still get black bars in anything that isn't formatted for 18:9.

Agreed!
Don't understand why you want to force a 2:1 ratio when the source is 16:9
The video will be stretched out, i'd rather have black bars and the correct ratio.

Found a solution: install uc browser open a video, make it full screen, then from the options menu select play with, and choose video player. It will play the video on native video player where you can zoom in.
Hey. I write because I have a problem with displaying colors in my Black Shark 2 global. My phone tries to improve all colors. To make them better more "woow". In Clash of clans games, these colors are so strong that my eyes hurt me. How can I disable this option? I was looking in settings but I found nothing that could help me.
You can always adjust the display's colors by accessing the Game Dock, tapping on the game's title on the top and clicking on the Display tab. From there, you can choose Custom and adjust the colors to your needs.

Hello,
Sometimes (very rare) my screen becomes yellowish like in reading mode or night mode.
Finally I can reproduce this issue visiting https://www.notebookcheck.net/ when I go to any other website my screen becomes normal. It happens sometimes on youtube app. I tried disabling DC, switching full hd 60 fps.
Do you have this issue too?

Disable comfort tone in display settings.
comfort tone is disabled and the video enhancements too
Not seen it on my device. Unless like you said I have night mode on....
Same is happening to me. It seems to be only when using Chrome and after the latest Chrome update.

Does Chrome have it's own eye comfort setting?
Can't see that but y never know with Google.
I tried take screenshot or record screen but the image and video are normal. Tomorrow I will record a film with another phone.
For solving this problem you need to go in chrome flags and deselect #dynamic color gamut
Thanks! I had the same problem and was fiddling with the Oneplus display settings to no avail, but this resolved the issue.

I enabled Vibrant Color Effect and had the issue of screen turning yellowish for like 2 seconds when opening certain apps. I now haven't really noticed it in the past few days..
I have AUTOHZ installed too which forces certain apps to run at 120hz..

I have the same issue. The dynamic color gamut fixed the yellow screen in Chrome, but it still happens in other apps (YouTube app when watching HDR, and Slide a Reddit app). OnePlus is just ignoring this issue.
