As title really. I know a lot of custom roms for android phones have added "dark modes" for various screens, where the "black on white background" has been inverted to white text on a black background. Bright white screens don't really work on a watch, far too bright and noticable for office situations especially. This is something the Gear S2 does much better, as the backgrounds stay dark with the popup text coming up over the top, instead of FLASH BRIGHT WHITE.
Anyone know if this has been achieved yet? I expected it to be something that was done on XDA from the very beginning, but I can't it anywhere. Thanks
would be nice but apparently the blinding white ui aspect of android has all but taken over

I'm just gonna go on launch day and get my Note 3 with Verizon since I will be switching to them from Cspire, but I want to know which one will make the color pop more? I really wanted white just to be different, but will the white front effect how much colors seem pop? I thought I read somewhere that black really brings out the colors. I just want people to see the screen with a nice case and be like "Wow"!
Black.
White/silver etc extend the canvas and focus the eyes elsewhere. Black if you want people to be wowed by brightness and color anything else is just aesthetic.
yes like the title says...i saw it on galaxy s 4 and in videos from note 3 reviews...but how to get this ?
You can go in to Settings -> Accessibility and invert the colors, but maybe thats not what your looking for
As for white background in SMS app, i saw that there is an option within the SMS program to change to various backgrounds(there are some bright ones) when reading an SMS, but it doesn't seem to work for the background on the main window.
I'm also interested in a white theme. Developer of the theme called "Domination" in "Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps" section said he might make a white theme. Might be something worth waiting for.
On most phones, the White theme is bound to the White phone.... Is that not the case anymore?
Though I can imagine Samsung left out the white theme because white pixels eat 200% more battery life than black ones on an AMOLED screen.

Yeah its still the case, I'm guessing he has a black note 3. I used to have the white theme on my white Note but I installed Domination Dark for that exact reason, battery life definitely improved

When in low brightness the blacks get jelly like stretching effect when in motion. I notice this all the time, with text and whatever. Most noticeable if a picture has something dark surrounded by bright area, scroll up and down and see the block stretch like rubber. What's up with that and why haven't I seen it mentioned in any review.. Very obvious artifact.

I have this same problem. Anyone have any idea what it can be?
You're seeing the pixels turn on and off as they turn off for black. All amoleds do it. Usually more noticeable when the brightness is lowered and it is white on black.
There is no pure black color. Black pixels aren't off. Later I will try make some photos to show this. I don't have this in S5, where black and gray colors are perfect and looks like in every amoled LCD's should be.
on older devices(saw this with the note 2) black would be near-black(leaving a slight grey/greenish glow only visible in complete darkness)
with the note 4(don't know about S4/5 and note 3) they decided to enable "true" black, allowing the pixels to turn off completely when displaying black.
switching on/off takes a tiny bit longer than changing intensity, which causes visible ghosting.
this is only noticeable in very specific circumstances, so most people never see it happen.
Black color looks it like with sephia filter. I don't know what it is. I changed ROM-s and kernels, still this same. On S5 black color is beautiful, Note 4 looks terible, especially in dark rooms. See atachments.
My MXP currently uses the VIBRANT color setting. I know the MXP uses LCD and has less punch than amoled.
My MXP actually looks fine everywhere, homescreen, in apps, etc. The only problem I have is the application drawer. All the icons look hazy, cool blue, and little contrast. Is the whiteness of the application drawer overpowering the icon's color?
Interestingly, I don't have this problem. My screen is actually way too warm - If I hold it next to my OnePlus One, it's really clearly yellowish in comparison. Perhaps we should root and get something that will let us adjust the colors.
I've seen conflicting opinions around that the new Night Mode in One UI won't be of much help when it comes to screen burn in, yet at the same time as far as I know, OLEDs turn off pixels when dark black is being used on some spot, saving both battery and pixel life at the same time.
Now what's the deal with dark grey ? Does the above apply for that color too ? That's the color that we'll see a lot of in One UI's Night Mode since it makes everything easier to read as opposed to dark blacks which are a bad option to use as a background for reading purposes.
