If you're anything like me you have a nasty habit of reading on your phone before bed in the dark. Even at its lowest setting this phone is still very bright stock. I went through several screen dimming apps and all of them required me to open an app and put a persistent notification on my status bar/notification bar.
I stumbled upon nougat/Oreo quick settings (free in the play store) and it offers a full suite of goodies, some require root but most don't. One of the best is the night mode. It's a simple toggle like WiFi, Bluetooth, ect and dims the screen perfectly for night time reading.
I'm sure this feature will be implemented in custom ROMs but as the phone currently stands this is a must have app for me.

Pretty cool toggle, it would be awesome if it toggled the native Motorola night mode with the color filter, rather than just lowering the overall screen brightness.
Better than nothing, thanks

What really works for me: processor underclocking + low screen brightness.
Nothin big.
1.Just put it into airplane mode when u have weak network (it sucks out a lot of juice trying to find a stronger connection) or when asleep (so that no one disturbs! )
2. Turn off wifi, gps, bluetooth when not in use!
life!
certainly low screen brightness and put in airplaine mode when I sleep
I just bought myself a Galaxy S4 Mini and there's only one thing that I miss: notification light.
I knew that also before I bought it but I wonder if there's an app or if it's possible to develop an app which would do the following when the screen is turned off:
Upon receiving an SMS, email, whatsapp, etc. the screen lights up grey/black except for a small strip (here in green) which has different colours depending on the notification type.
The device would still be locked but the screen could light up for 30-60 seconds and look like something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Is this feasible or will I have to live without notification light?
One app that comes to mind is Knock² notifications. It doesn't do exactly what you want, but it shows notifications with the rest of the screen remaining blank.

Knock² Pro/Full

I've never used it but I knew my friend had used it on his old phone which also didn't have an LED
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...lt#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5sZWQubm90aWZ5Il0.
I'm using the Acer A210 if that makes any difference.
I've wiped and installed different ROMs and the bouncing app bug persists, I've searched EVERYWHERE for a solution but can't seem to find one.
No matter what app I use a bar will come up between the status bar and actual app the same thickness as the status bar. On the old ROM I used it used to only rarely happen and only happen often in the Google Voice app but now with the new ROM I have installed (was forced to update ROM as I woke up and suddenly the tablet wouldn't go passed the Acer boot screen) it's on EVERY app I use and drives me crazy. I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware issue as it's only persistent in apps, never on the homescreen, lockscreen, nor does the status bar move, thus the screen itself isn't projecting the pixels to move, it's something within the coding itself I assume.
My other issue I'm having is my lockscreen is completely locked to landscape mode and I'd like for it to be able to be locked to portrait or at least have the ability to auto-rotate, I'm sure that's the easier to solve problem of the two but they're both driving me nuts.
If I could get some codes for the files I need to edit and a simple how-to that'd be amazing.
Any workarounds are welcome and any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hello everyone! I would like you to check this out. Receiving feedback would be really great!
A smart, sensitive for sound screen clock&light and flashlight can be a life-saver when you need light in the night but there is none. You can adjust level of clap sound and even a light level limit dynamically, moreover time limits and colors.
Sense Sound Clock Light
What is this?
This application will help you when you need light and there is nothing you can reach.Your phone is at the charger and it is far, so run it with your own triggers, and just make the right sound to brighten around.
How to make it work?
Well it is pretty easy.Just launch it and go to settings, you will find everything you need there.
Set your triggers and define what is the right time to run or simply check time like a night clock.
IMPORTANT: MAKE SOUND TWICE IN ORDER TO MAKE IT WORK.OTHERWISE IT WON'T WORK!

look nice bro... :good:
Hi everyone,
I've just bought a brand-new OnePlus 9 (8/128) and I love it so far, except for a slow scroll in some applications that I more or less solved by fiddling with Dark Mode and color schemes.
One thing I'd gotten used on my Galaxy S20 FE that I can't enable on the OP is Always-On Display working all the time, not just during the day. I've found the AOD settings and I can either disable it, or enable it during a certain time bracket, or during "the day".
I've tried to set it to work from 00h00 to 23h59 just now, so I'll see if it works through the night after that one-minute gap just before midnight or not, but I'd like it to work fulltime, so that I don't have to handle the phone at night just to check what time it is.
Is there a hidden setting somewhere that can do that in a more straightforward fashion?

Thanks, but on my French-UI phone, this translates into "la journée", which means that after a few minutes of total darkness at night, the AOD turns itself off.
In this case, "All day" doesn't mean 24/7. I suppose the light sensor must cause the AOD to call it a night too...
I have a 2115 ROM, which, if I'm not mistaken, is supposed to be for North America. Maybe AOD settings are different in other markets?
