just wondering what you guys recommend for
(1) Screen Mode
Adaptive Mode (I turned this off... doesn't seem to make a diff?)
Dynamic
Standard (currently set on this)
Professional Photo
Movie
wanted to try Pro Photo and Movie.. but both make the screen yellow.. and reds washed out
(2) Auto Adjust Screen Tone
just wondering if you guys keep this on or off?
(3) Auto Brightness?
do you guys use this or manual adjustments?
(4) Power Savings - Use low power level for screen
1. Dynamic : because i love bright & vivid colors
2. Turned off : to preserve the bright & vividness of colors
3. Turned off : whenever i need i just slide the brighness slider.
4. Turned on : for most activity. Turned off while gaming
Standard, off, off, off. Brightness slider is set to about 10%.
Lux auto brightness for brightness control and photo display settings for correct colour reproduction.

No, I refer to pro photo mode in screen mode. Please note that I have extensively used Andreilux Perseus kernel and I love the color correction as explained in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38497753&postcount=3
What I know from what I read from different posts and my own experience, the natural screen mode in Cyanogen mod and pro photo in new Samsung devices is very close to Perseus kernel improvements for correct color reproduction. I love "washed" colors
One more thing, the "reading mode" is very good too, since when you add up to 20 applications in this mode in the settings, it automatically reduces contrast when you run one of these apps. I use it especially for Dolphin browser to read papers etc. It turns back to normal when you close the app.
Last but not least; general brightness level of Note 3, especially under direct sun light, is much better than Note 2, but especially under low light I have to manually reduce the brightness not to disturb my eyes.
Regards.
I'm using the pro photo setting. For brightness settings I'm using the app Lux to fine tune autobrightness which has separate day and night profiles. The app can darken your screen below the 0% setting by applying a filter on the screen. Very useful for totally dark situations.

I've been trying out Reading Mode... but it is making the screen really dim though.
Do you have power-savings mode ON?
No, I only use the power saving mod when I have around 15% battery left and I do not experience any dimnes in normal use.

been using the Professional Photo mode. I must say I'm liking the colors much better
anyone tried out LUX?
hmm.. seems like Professional Photo mode.. causes a level of yellowing?
Adaptive at 50% Auto Brightness.
Unbelievable colours at an unbelievable power consumption rate, much better than my N2.
I've noticed that in the sun some times and more with the camera, the screen will boost its brightness to a level we cannot select. it seems to even change the gamma of the screen where the screens look almost pink. But the result is a really bright and view-able screen in direct sunlight. Anyone know of an add to enable this via an app or some setting?
Also I remember with my Note 3 I could write on the back of the photos, is it not possible anymore?
I'm intrested to this.....but we have to find anyone who knows how to do that...
gekkehenkie11 developed an app for CyanogenMod called MDNIE Tuner which does that. Check the first post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/orig-development/official-cm12-910f-910g-t3046965
Not sure if it works with TouchWiz...
Yellowish color screen after flashing arymod 4.0 or Flex_Lollipop Rev2.1, also tried 3 different kernels: LP_Xplorer_Rev1.7, darkqueen latest and perseo matergold. Still can´t get rid of this yellowish tint when the screen gets dimmer.
A photo would be good, I guess?
So you have only two options, either flash Stock ROM and have the display as it was, or you can use the app Screen Adjuster and turn up the Blue channel to neutralize the Yellowish effect. Remember, with that app you will just be masking the tint, not get rid of it, well not fundamentally.

Thanks for the help, I've also tried that app but the problem is if I neutralize at lower dim when brightness goes up the colors are messed up again. I´ll post screenshot.
I was going to post screenshot but it doesn´t show the problem and I don't have a secundary camera to take a photo.
xinfinityoO said to try and use synapse "Tip for the people with yellowish color hue
Go to synapse / screen and enable mdnie control , there you change the "Digital edge enhancement", try every sharpness value."
But color still messed up
Oh okay. Then you will have to ditch either the ROM or the kernel, I can't be sure which one is causing that (or maybe this is intentional), look for which one says stuffs about display tweaking, should be mentioned under the details of either the ROM or the kernel.
And screenshot won't capture that actually, a photo is needed, from a camera. Screenshots from all the Note 3 of the world will look all same.

I thought there was way to upload a synapse profile or something that could neutralize this. Everything works like a charm and at high brightness there is no yellowish issue only when it's dimmer.
Oh Synapse, no idea mate, have stopped using that buggy piece of software a long time ago (no offence).

It was actually my first time using it and only to try and solve this issue but did find it quite unstable.
I am trying to customize the notification LED per app. I've tried 3 tools to achieve this but I am not having success. Both GravityBox and XBlast tools would let me change the colour, but it would never work. All my notifications were still white. Even when I "previewed" the notification light, it would still be white. I also tried light flow, but only a couple of notification lights would show (those were some of the predefined settings). Are there specific hex values I have to use to get it to work? I really want to get this to work but it is annoying me!!
Settings/accessibility/light flow is turned on?

I found the issue. I didn't realize there are only certain colours for the LED. I was choosing custom colors, and if the hex value wasn't one of the few supported colours, it wouldn't work properly.
Same issue. Blue isn't working, but I can get it to flash for a brief moment... Also, I used to use orange, but I can't get orange to display at all. I hope this isn't a hardware problem.
I don't know if it's just me, but I was previously using the app midnight to dim my phone at night & had no issues.
It appears with Oreo, that the status bar & when you pull down the status bar don't change with the screen.
So while the screen is only set to say 30%, the status bar & nav bar are full brightness. Again, I don't recall this issue
with 7.1.2
Is anyone successfully using an app that actually dims everything with Oreo, & if not, is this an issue with Oreo?
Thanks!
I am having this issue with my device and it's driving me crazy. I did not have the issue with Nougat, but in Oreo none of the apps work on the status bar and notification shade. This is exacerbated by the fact that the notification shade is blinding white now instead of dark gray so it lights up the room when I pull it down at night in the dark.
I normally use the app "Darker Pro," but I tried about five different screen dimming apps last night and they all have the exact same issue so I think it's an Oreo thing. I also used to use the app Snap Swipe Drawer and noticed that I can no longer activate it from swiping on the notification bar. I think Oreo is not allowing anything to draw over the status bar or notification shade area.

Exactly! The notification bar is extremely white which just furthers the issue. The white was a poor choice in my opinion and is hideous.
I've tried 2 other apps & no luck. Plus many don't get updated.
I emailed the developer of Midnight & he said it would be a priority, so that's good.
I'm glad someone else uses these apps. I was beginning to think everyone enjoyed being blinded by their phone at night.

I don't understand the issue... Just dim your display normally using the brightness slider. Everything gets dim that way.
If you want a working night mode too (blue light filter), flash the o pixel mod in the themes section and use that too.
Or even f.lux would work if you have root.
This is a complete non-issue because dimming the display works 100% without any 3rd party apps.

The issue isn't the fact you can't dim the display as we all know you can move the slider.
It's night mode apps only dimming the screen itself & not the notification bar. You may have your brightness in night mode to really dark, but pull down the status bar & it's 100% bright. This issue didn't exist on 7.1.2 with these apps. I was specifically using Midnight with 0 issues.
I'm not rooted, so no flashing. Also there was no need before O as these issues didn't exist.

Well it sounds like the app needs to be updated to work on Oreo properly.
One of the reasons there are dev preview is for developers to test their apps on the new Android update and it would seem that this dev didn't do that.
Can I ask why you don't just use the brightness slider? It's one of the simplest things to do if you want your screen dim.

Because it isn't dark enough at night and early in the morning when I like my eyes to adjust. If it went darker as part of stock Android, it would eliminate the need for these apps.
Personal preference. My wife can't see crap & has to have the brightness on her phone up even at night. Drives me nuts & blinds the crap out of me.

Okay gotcha, makes sense.
Hopefully they update that app soon then.
If I come across any other app similar to that, I'll mention it in this thread then
I've been using f.lux and that seems to be working OK with Oreo.
I used Twilight Pro when I was on DP4 and while it worked, it did have the persistent blinding overlay notification. You can manually mute that for 2 hours tops at a time or there is a way to keep it muted with Tasker. https://www.xda-developers.com/hide-app-running-background-notification-android-oreo/
Does your app provide administration rights capability? There would be an entry in device administrators for your app [name]. For example, I use Bluelight Filter and if I want to use full dimming capability, including overlay, I have to give admin permission. The trade off being that some Android security lock features are disabled - such as locking Android pre-boot with a password.
It's been posted in another topic, but as far as "muting" the messages about background notifications in Oreo, this is a new Android security feature with no workaround yet and you can only set it to a low priority for notifications. At least that way it will minimize to one line when there are other app notifications, and remove the icon from the status bar.

Where are you finding device admin for bluelight? I had it installed, didn't work, but reinstalled trying to find what you stated, but no luck.
I've got a device admin apps settings, but it isn't listed.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Sorry it's not device admin, it's accessibility. My bad. This is the permission that's required for notifications and screen overlay being dimmed. It's a trade-off. So far I don't use it because I prefer enhanced encryption.
What I loved about my screen dimming app is that it did so automatically at set times and precisely to the right level. The brightness is now at daytime strength the first time I turn it on at bedtime and too dark when i first need it in the morning, not to mention fiddling with the slider to get it just right. Is there another way to schedule the brightness levels?
Still no one with luck with this?
Once it's a cross-device problem, why not move the thread to a general forum?

Did you find a fix for your problem?
Personally I am rooted ONLY for the night mode included on the pixel 2 mod. Furthermore, I was looking for a way to only have the night mode w/o any other pixel feature but couldn't find a way.
I know you said you aren't rooted and I can guess your unwillingness to do so, but honestly that's the best way to get a properly working night mode.
Take into acct. that I've tried a lot of apps and none were satisfactory. As I said before, this is the only reason I'm rooted.
Anyways, I hope you found a way to get a night mode working on your phone.
Any success? Really would like 100% overlay coverage including notifications, everything.
If you web browse at night you can invert the screen colours, which helps a bit until you hit a 'dark' image
I use Darker Pro and yes I can confirm that the status bar and notifications/qs panel does not get darker on oreo.
I used the same app all the time with nougat and it worked flawless.
It is a android oreo issue. Google has disabled apps to draw over system ui elements in oreo, that's what the darker pro playstore description says. I initially thought we need root to enable it. I've been trying to search for root apps that would let me do it but no luck there either.
Alright. I got a bit of a Work around. You will need root. Install Kernel Adiutor and go to Screen option. Now lower the Red, Green and Blue values equally. The screen will get dimmer.
I know this isn't as convenient as using a simple app, but atleast it's something.
Oh, and if you're running a lineage OS based rom you won't need root or the kernel Adiutor. Just go to Live Display in setting and you'll find the same Red, Green and Blue adjustment there.
This one works over both bars, but needs xposed:
