Thank you in advance !!

FlashLIGHT. Search for it.

This doesn't strike me as a good choice. First, while it does turn the screen white, it doesn't affect the backlight brightness - a proper flashlight app would push the screen to full brightness as well as turning it white.
Second, it's designed for a VGA rather than WVGA display - so most of the options leave white borders either side of the main display.
Any alternative suggestions?

ive tried to look for one, but I cant find any good ones that work with the TP2...
anyone find one that just makes the screen white? If i wanted my screen to look like a lighter (and have the brightness of one) id just hold up my damn lighter, but thats not exactly the best idea when holding it over an airplane gas tank to find out how much gas is in there at night...

System colors output fails

Well, I suppose I'm not the first, but still I hope this is fixed. There are parts of system especially menus and gradients which are rendered terribly. This is a software bug, since everywhere else, colours are rendered fine. I have screenshots attached. Is there a fix for this? Thanks

You are really complaining about the color of icons on system menus?

no, if you look closely at the grey background on system menus you will notice it isnt a flat or evenly graded colour, down the middle is a line, the best way i can think of to describe it is its like an oil spot on a dark shirt, its not always noticeable but its there.

Exactly, thanks!

Seconded! And I was beginnig to think there was something wrong with my device. Yesterday I noticed a slight discoloration when looking closely at the popu menu backgrounds (like the one when you attempt to install a downloaded apk file). It appears in the right part of the box. It looks a bit like a hand, a splash of liquid but with sharp edges. When I rotate the screen horizontally the shape keeps being rendered in the same part of the menu and retains its shape. Curiously enough when I examined menus in other parts of the OS the pattern was different, more blockish. I think it will be hard to photograph so check your tablets guys. The screen on my device is otherwise fine so it must be software related.

I don't recognize what menu you are on, but on mine settings/apps shows no background blur like that. Manual lighting, 50 percent.

Update did not address the banding issues. Display still looks like crap. Ugh

It's export menu in dropbox. In that link, it was shot in I think, notification ringtone menu.
Good to see Google is fixing it.

No fair blaming Google for an app problem. There are a million ways Dropbox could have messed that up.
Can you give me an instance that only involves Google apps? Like maybe in Google drive?

Any system dialog box. Go to settings and set a "notification tone" in the dialog box where you select the sound you can see horrible artifacts that look like dark gray mountains
That and set any gray gradient as a wallpaper and you'll see horrible banding

OK... I went to Settings / Sound / Default Notification.
Then it gives me a choice of apps to use to browse to a sound. I chose Media Storage (the only Google one).
Now I have a list of tones and checkboxes, with a gray background. Brightness manual, 50%.
Holding the screen straight on, and tilting to look straight across I see no gradient or artifacts at any angle. Amazing off-axis range...
Anything else I can try, or is my device just "different"?

I have those gradients too, funny its not reproducible on all devices

Could be. You on a custom ROM? or Stock 4.2 / 4.2.1 ?

Stock 4.2.
Not currently rooted - root makes multi-user unusable for me. Root Manager has it "temporarily unrooted".
I don't have a gradient background to try. That notifications panel is an even gray. No gradient.

Bump up the brightness to 100% you will surely see it if it is there. I just updated to 4.2.1 and it is still here. This update in fact broke my Android Beam, I can no longer send images from my Nexus S to Nexus 7 like I could on 4.2

White apps or dark apps

I'm sorry if this has been ask before..
I do work with the note 3 and was hoping that maybe I might be able to help with the T mobile Note 4.
Can someone please verify that the international variant of the note 4 has either a white contacts (dialer), phone (in call ui), mms or a dark version?
Thank you for any help.

It has a white theme.

A lot of work.. I was gonna try to invert them, but then I found that not only has samsung gone with their way of qmgs, but they also decided to screw everyone over with some type of file called astc that can't be decompiled

I found a workaround, but it's really up to you on how you use it, but...
You can set your home button to invert the colours with a triple tap. The setting is in accessibility. This is really handy when browsing the web, but not so much with "in and out" app use. I'm almost certain you can get tasker to invert apps using this method for specific apps you need inverted, and then return to normal when you exit those apps.

LG V20 Second screen App icons get really small

Hi,
My second screen app icons periodically get really small (and kinda ugly) for no apparent reason. Then they get back to normal size also rather randomly. One way to get them back to normal is to turn off and on app icons.
I have no idea why this happens, and I don't even know how to take a screenshot of the second screen to show what it looks like.
Details: LG H990ds. Sept 2017 Android 7 running. Unrooted.

I am working on mods for second screen(currently have partial text color control) and would like to see what your talking about?
This post has instructions for added Second screen to screenshots.
Also, it seems like I may have seen a setting for on/off app icons, but can't recall where?

Install another theme.this is unofficial themes issue.

This is 100% a theming property. I wouldn't really say "issue" or "error" as much as I would say mistake, and that's o lt in the eye of the beholder.
This is a value setting within the theme itself.
The themer has set the theme to draw app icons on top of a series of backgrounds and they set the icon to be drawn at a percentage of the default app icon.
What I'm saying is the theme will, in this case, reduce the app icon to a smaller size then place it on top of one of the themes bg's.
Some icons have bg's as part of the actual app icon and some have only the icon (see attatched samples). Obviously icons that do not have a bg will blend into themes easier because the themes bg option will look more intended.
There are several options to fix this, but only one being easy.
1. The easy one does not get to keep the theme, you must change the theme to something that is visually acceptable to you
2. This is an option for users that have some experiance swapping images in an apk. Find the app which has an icon you don't like and use 7zip to open the apk and swap the image for one that appeals to your taste. Problem here is that thing can get overridden every time the apps gets updates. This can also trigger package errors due to signatures values and changes from original size.
3. Knowledge or modding a decompiles apk using apktool is required for this one.
Located the themes common.apk and decompile it.
Within the decompiled folders you will find a values folder, open the integer.xml and change this value to the value that fits your needs best (100 being 100% or the full original size) <integer name="config_icon_ratio_as_theme">65</integer>.
There are other ways that can do what you are wanting done, you just have to get creative with it!
You ask "how to take screenshots or second screen? You've asked this question twice now, obviously without reading the reply to the question the first time.
I persoanlly answered the question by pointing you to the link where you have options on how to add the feature you want.
This is a development community and i suggest spending a little more time reading and you'd be surprised with gow much you can find by doing a quick search.
So in summary, change you theme or learn to edit decompiled app with apktool.
Read every reply ro questions you ask so you and the people who take the time out of their days to answer you don't have to repeat themselves.
Hit the thanks button to post that givd you info that helps.
Good luck, good day and hope that sums up your question here

actually there's a bigger difference in real life, maybe the blurred second photo doesn't convey it well

The problem is, this size keeps changing randomly. I haven't changed the theme in 2 months, but the size switches between the correct size and the tiny one every few days. The theme itself is the 'Default Black' theme that came with the phone.

I saw the comment, replied to the first part but happened to miss that part out. Thanks for that.

Attaching clearer pics to demonstrate the size difference.
Again it doesn't happen when the theme is applied. The theme has been applied from the beginning.. It's the dark one that came with the phone.. The problem comes and goes randomly.

Same here! Usually it happens when I've moved around an app icon, doesn't matter if it's moved onto the second screen or onto a homescreen.
A restart usually resets the size to normal.

u/stangdriver44 u/3mL : I have found the reason for this.
It's due to the modification of DPI I did on the main screen. It seems this setting is inherited by the second screen off and on. I just reduced my DPI further to 400 and the second screen icons got even smaller.
Others have also reported this issue. (As on this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/lgv20/comm...e_the_size_of_the_navigation_buttons/dnj6dko/)
Is there a way to de-link the DPI of the second screen with that of the first?

Im trying to reduce the size of those buttons, can youpeovide the dpi and resolution that you are at?

The one in the photo was at 420. I'm currently at 400, which makes for some really tiny icons.
EDIT: please note, that this resizing isn't constant, it gets turned on and off like a boolean such that sometimes it stays small, then returns to normal for a while.

reduce icon size

Guys how do I reduce icon size on this tablet?
I don't like the way how big they are....

This should help
Long press on the home screen, and then click on 'Home screen settings'. Here, you'll see 'Home screen grid' and 'Apps screen grid' in the list. Select '6x5' for both to get smaller icons.

it's already on 6x5

I use settings->display->screen zoom. I set it to the smallest size and the icons/fonts are more than large enough, but you get plenty of screen real estate (although on some websites while web browsing, I'll set it back to the middle for larger, more legible text). I'm guessing this is a dpi setting and works well for me. Good luck.

My guess is you'd have to use a different launcher (I think nova lets you adjust icon size). anyway good luck
