That looks really cool!
How did you get it? Version no.?
Nvm... Got it from apkmirror... v26
Thanks for sharing!
Just installed it... very cool.
Thanks for the heads up, also if you were trying to hide a real number for home, I would recommend remove the photo.
I can still make out the numbers in the screenshot.

Google didn't miss the point, the idea was to give the user an option, in their apps, of a DARK skin, not black!
Dark gray is a fine option.

Given they stated power savings as one of their reasons for doing it, yes they did, black saves power on an oled and dark grey makes an oled look like an LCD.

Totall agree... Black skins are awful and looks old, like andoid 4 ones. Google should have all their apps in dark mode, I don't understand why they are launching them one on one...

True...
Grey means those pixels are 'ON' and thus are consuming power.
So what's the point?

I don't know. Not being blinded by all the white and instead being greeted by a more aesthetically pleasing and easy on the eyes grey, I guess. Black would be so Android Gingerbread, so 2010.

Disable Dark theme in your settings of the phone. When dark theme is enabled, the apps automatically default to dark mode.

so as far as i understand, true black on our screen is turning the pixel off. i've heard that you can get something like a status light that will use only a couple of pixels from the screen to notify in other colors then the LEDs red and blue. what i was wondering is if there is a program or if it would even be possible to have a program that would pop up texts on the screen in the same way. so that instead of turning the whole screen on just the lines of text appear.

I found an app that was supposed to do what you're wanting
However, I found it back when I was running Eclair and it didn't seem to work, never tried it on 2.2. I'll dig around and look for it. I'll let you know the name once I find it.

Doubtful, and you're probably better off just installing the AOSP messaging app and using the black theme.
I do think it is an awesome idea though.

Again, that's not what the OP is asking for.
If you'd like an option for the sms stuff, I'd send an email to the guy who makes NoLed. He seems pretty cool.
As far as the pixels being off for black on SAMOLED, I can see a slight amount of light if I'm in a dark room and my phone is displaying a pure black image.
So, does it really turn pixels off, or does it just cause them to get really (really!) dim.
this would be an awesome capability!

might be the light from the active pixels filtering through the glass.... look at when you boot the phone and the samsung logo pops up before the sprint and galaxy S boot screens... it seems to me that the rest of the screen is completely off.. if it would save a bit of battery when my sms pop up comes on i'd be happy with it. plus it would look sick

There is definitely some light when the screen is showing black in a dark room. And it isn't there when the screen is off/timed-out. I also thought the pixels were off when they are black.
One thing I noticed with NoLed is that it keeps the screen from actually sleeping. It keeps it black but on so it can display the dots. If black really isn't off, then how much power does that use, I wonder.
Lol @ OP ... It's called a verizon samsung continuum....
Seriously, they just emulated the normal 4 android buttons and had a larger screen. It's probably possible, but it would be a little hacky to get it working.

If thats the real deal, I'll have to see it in person. Not my color of red, looks more pink to me. If it was a more vibrant red then I'd consider it.

Not bad, the red looks like cherry wood.
Motomaker.com is now live, but you can only play around with it and save your order. You need to go to an Att store and buy in store, where they give a moto card with a code that will allow you to complete the order online. Why do we have to go to the store? Well they want us to use the in-store displays and see the colors in real life (not all the colors look exactly the same as the renders due to lighting), so this minimizes the chances of someone sending it back to change colors if it didn't turn out the way they expected it.
Anyway, get to it and have fun.

Will it get more attention? Yea sure any phone that has three distinct colours like those would attract some attention, but I personally don't think it would be very pleasing to the eye as something that is all white/black with one other colour accent.
But hey I like minimalistic things and plain uniform patterns.

A lot of conservative people probably feel the same too. I've been going back and forth on whether I like the woven black. The smooth black you get on the motomaker is a clear winner, and picking color accents gives just a little bit of flare without having an overly flashy from having a colored back.

That's it. There was no way to swap the functions of the keys on my previous phone. I could just turn it on or off. It was useful when you had a blackout and had to look which button does what ^^
Anyway, it was more a nice to have than a must have feature. I probably wouldn't use the back lighting as it sometimes even was brighter than the phone screen.
Or just annoying while watching videos or something.

Can you please check this out for me, it will be very helpful..
please can you check (when screen locked) if the notifications will show as ambient (screen black with notifications text only for a while) when receiving a new notification..? I know there is an always on display feature, but was wondering if still with it the new notifications texts will show on a black screen for a while like the ambient display feature in the old pixel..
Really appreciate if someone can answer..
Is there a way on Pixel phones to edit the nav bar buttons like on most other phones? I like the back button on the right.

So far the screen is fine. I'm not the right guy to ask about screen this or that so I would defer to the big screen thread. The only thing I do notice is a blue tint when you tilt the screen 20 plus degrees like a lot of the other people have stated but it doesn't really bother me as I almost always look at the screen straight on
In the unboxing videos I've seen, I haven't seen the tool for removing the sim card tray.
Is there one included? I'm not sure I have mine still from my 6P. I'm sure I can use something else, but it would be nice if the new phone came with one.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: so funny. Not 60 seconds after typing this, I click on an unboxing video and the first thing shown is the sim card ejector, which is in with the manual packaging.
Oh well, I hope I get this bad boy soon. My ship date is scheduled for the 24th and I'm hoping for sooner.
Yeah got my phone yesterday as well, screen is different to say the least but the accuracy of color is really gorgeous. Google said they will be releasing a fix for the screen to adjust it or maybe disable SRGB as it's not for everyone but the phone works great, lightning fast, and take everything I throw at it. I have substratum themes running on it now (non rooted) and still the phone works great and looks great.
