For those looking to have further adjustment to lower screen brightness values even lower and even adjust the color tones somewhat, I discovered a new free app in market called Screen adjuster
Not only can lower brightness all the way down to 0, but allows adjusting brightness contrast as well as red blue and green. It works great!
it is called screen adjust. Even has widget so you can preset a dark setting if you like and one press enables it.
I find this app extremely useful for night time reading where even with the night mode the white text is too bright.
That and while using my eee at night my wife always complains it's too bright.
i couldn´t find the app. can you give me the download link please?
this is not a real screen adjustment, it runs *on top of the system* not only will it make your screen look like junk it will mak your homescreen scrolling laggy as hell, stay away

Actually screen filter runs on top. This actually really seems to darken it. I did notice lag one on home screen then home screen FC'd and after that it wokred fine. I sometimes get similar FC with out this app so not sure if it was to blame. All I know is I can now use my tablet in the dark without it being too bright.

I stand corrected it does run on top like screen filter. I tested during daytime and hadn't noticed. Either way it is another viable option.

This is a useful app. I notice that when its turned on you cannot install app.
WHat were the results of using this app in the daytime outside with sun???

Curious to know as well..
It'd be nice to be able to adjust the color saturation to make the GS 10.1
I made this app for educational purpose
Glad to hear if someone likes it
People with sgs2 like 'pseudo contrast'
I even didn't expect that it can be useful for someone ;0
Lags the tablet wouldnt reccomend this, example would be the scrolling of the home screen
On my SGS (and other smartphones) works great, but I try to look into what causes the problem on tablets
I like the initiative, good work!
New version released
Performance improved
My biggest problem with this phone is the god awful viewing angles on darker colors. When I leave the phone on the desk and a call comes in, the whole screen looks like a huge washed out mess because the UI for answering calls is of course mostly black and dark gray. I can't get over how bad this looks so I'm looking into modding this call screen. Is this possible? I've tried a few xposed modules, forcing full screen photos, changing default contact pics but none of them do what I want. Is there a custom ROM or anything that allows at least some modding of this screen so it's not mostly black? I know there are apps that do this but they're too buggy and limited due to how Android works. I'm looking for an actual mod, or anything that's actually stable and usable for every day.
Hi,
EDIT: my bad, I think I misread your question, sorry :angel:
I should have probably worded it differently but I didn't know how To clarify, I meant the incoming call screen, the one where you slide to answer or reject calls. I want to change this to something other than mostly black/dark grey.

No worries, it's me
Have you tried a third party app dialer for example?
I never tested them but it seems some have the ability to change what you want, like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=intelgeen.rocketdial.trail&hl=fr.

I used to have the same trouble after I've bought my N5. The washout used to irritate me a lot since I came from amoled panel before. Though after some time I just got used to it I found out that phone is not meant to be looked at from 90° angle and some other phones have even worse viewing angles so it's totally fine for me now i just accepted it as it is everything else on this phone has been absolutely astonishing
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Yeah, but it should be meant to be looked at from diagonal angles. In the scenario I mentioned, ie when you put the phone on the desk, you look at it from such angles 90% of the time you receive a call. It looks absolutely horrible and screams "cheap". Even the xperia phones with bad viewing angles don't look that bad in such conditions. Why did LG decide to be cheap and not put an A-TW polarizer in an otherwise great screen is beyond me. It's literally the worst IPS glow I've seen on any device ever. It's hard to accept when low-end LG phones don't have this nor do cheap chinese androids.
Back on topic, sorry for the rant... I did try a few different apps but although they solve the problem, they're not stable or reliable enough for every day use unfortunately It can't really be done with an app. Are there really no custom ROMs that offer any incoming call screen customizations? Does anyone at least know how I can edit the default unknown caller photo? A few xposed modules can do this but none of them function correctly.
Xposed module called gravity box let's you assign whatever photo you want for unknown caller photo. You could also use hk theme module to apply different themes to change the dialer colors.

Gravity Box is the closest thing to the solution that I've found so far but unfortunately it doesn't work very well for me When I assign a default photo for unknown caller it works fine but when I try to call someone who does have their own photo, the screen starts flashing and I can see the original photo resizing itself. Don't know if it's just my device but it looks pretty bad. Is there a file I can modify to change this unknown caller photo? Or perhaps some ROM that has such feature included. I'm open to anything really.
I don't know if this is a "bug or feature" type of situation, but I just got my brand new Poco F2 Pro and I noticed that the colors in the lock screen are washed out. I deleted all the registered fingerprints from the Settings and suddenly the colors are... colorful again.
So, is this a bug that Xiaomi can fix with a software update, is it a hardware issue, or is it intentional and necessary for the fingerprint sensor to work?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
i can confirm this phenomena
Correct observation.
Don't know the reason but probably a bug not solved with Miui 12.
It did this on MIUI 11 as well just not as noticeable. It drives me insane tbh, especially the quick settings menu. Can't even take a pic of it. I've tried a handful of lockscreen themes and found one that is bearable as it let's you tint the lockscreen.
I see it too
Same here.
Did you use advance color gamut setting instead of auto? I noticed this when color gamut option is not set to auto.
Make sure if you're using dark mode, in settings/display/dark mode you don't have wallpaper darken... This creates a washes out look
I have experienced this too and have found no surefire workaround. However, what does seem to be more effective is if you set your wallpaper through the options in the settings menu and not through a launcher (like Nova for instance). It reduces the grainy quality of the lockscreen, but the image is still not the best.
I dont think its a bug, since in-display fingerprint reader needs a very bright light-source, the display itself will illuminate to the max for the fingerprint scanner to works, which is essentially the same as "sun-mode". In that mode, all color will look bad.
Same I felt it today...I faced then I went to shop they wiped out my data :3 when I setup my wallpaper and the fingerprint it's happening like before..and there's another bug on dark mode as well ,when you lower your brightness completely,the settings font will start its color fading :crying:

Auto mode actually gives a better contrast to the lock screen wallpaper than Advanced, I didn't realize. ?

Unfortunately, I don't think it's a bug either. What doesn't make sense to me is that the entire screen needs to have these washed colors for the fingerprint sensor to work. It's such a small part of the screen, why wash out everything?
I saw it too. I was using Advanced Color Gamut option. Then I switched to "Saturated" and it solved it.
Unfortunately that didn't work either.
Strange thing is that it doesn't happen on my 9T Pro.

I have no idea why tho.. Im guessing maybe it have something to do with "Sun mode" kinda "overclock" the entire display when fingerprint-reader need to, and then switch back to normal display mode right after.
But that kinda defeats one of the OLED key-strength, being able to lights-up individual pixel instead of lighting whole screen. Doesnt make sense to me either..
We need to report this from the miui developer guys its so annoying especially when you're in a dark room or room with lights off

If you used other Xiaomi devices you'd know it didn't happen before.. I hope it's not a hardware thing.
Disabled my fp at least for now. Can't enjoy a brand new phone with these washed out colours.
Ahhh. So it's not just mine lol. I played with so many different settings trying to fix this crap. I gave up lol

I agree with you, as this behaviour didnt happen on my Mi 9T Pro, although I suspect it could have caused by both "sun-mode" and Xiaomi decision to use white-light for fp illumination instead of turquoise-like color on previous model. Im still using it, for convenience anyway.
In my experience it is just happened with gamut color option, with other color option it is no issue. My super mars wallpaper look amazing.
Hi,
I really like to use custom width on all my previous phone.
But the current setting for Developer option/Smallest width is only 411 dpi.
Can I go above the value without problems such as poor fingerprint reader position ? Can someone share their own dpi value?
Thanks in advance.
Im using the 8 pro and i set my dpi to 520.
In oos10 the only issue was that the navigation gestures were too picky and kind of hard to use due to the smaller trigger points. (Also the ringer switch toast was too high but thats just aesthetic so whatever)
In oos 11 that issue is gone and i see no downsides at all.
In any case, go ahead and try it out. You can always change it back

Thanks a lot mate! It looks much more to my liking now.
How did you figure 520 value? Did you just through trials and error ?
I use 587. It's what my 5t was at when I switched, but I like things very small.
(I buy big phones to see more content, not the same content but bigger).
On anything built right for our phone I have no issues, but roms ported to our device sometimes have issues placing things.

Not really. I wear glasses, so as long as I'm awake I basically have 2020 vision. And I keep my phone at a normal distance from my face.
Idk I just like having a lot on the screen. I do a lot of reading and web surfing on my phones.
I'm using La sys tools to modify density to 360
even lower density can be configured successfully, But the nofiy bar and camera "hole" displays abnormal when the status bar is pulled down.

454 works nicely for me.
Also using 454!
I toggle between default 411 and 520 on 8T
i have tested this app on the s22 ultra and it works perfectly even the aod works do not use override as it no longer is necessary, note that the s22 ultra is not officially supported so you will have to go in cutout settings and adjust the positioning and size of the ring, this is finicky but it's possible, these are all issues that were worked on before, the app has a tendency to crash when adjusting the position.
Arc Lighting adds a highly customizable ring of light around the camera cutout of your phone. You can use this light with various indicators such as audio visualization, notification lighting, critical or low battery warnings, as well as a charge indicator. The ring can also appear on your Always-On display. (to make aod work you need to make sure you have downloaded always on amoled and activated it, you also need to make sure samsung stock aod and samsung edge lighting is disabled under samsung display settings you also need to make sure that aod is enabled under arclighting with override set to off)
Features:
- Highly customizable lighting for holepunch devices. Select a variety of colors, animations, and styles.
- Always show ring with various gradient effects (add multiple colors and make them spin for a visual experience)
- An adjustable glow effect that can be turned on or off
- Notification lighting both when the display is on or off (update planned for only the lockscreen or only inapp)
- Music lighting that syncs the light to your music
- Battery indicator lighting for charging, low and critical battery states. (note it will not work until you configure the zones you want the colors to appear)
- Device overheating indicator for gamers and power users (note it will not work until you configure the zones you want the colors to appear)
- Arc Lighting can be configured to match the color of your wallpaper, the app you're currently in, or both!
This app requires certain permissions to function correctly.
Accessibility: This permission is used for the ring to appear over your lock screen, always-on display, and for accessing the color of the current app you're in. This permission is required for the app to function properly.
Draw Over Other Apps: This permission allows the ring to show on top of other apps. This permission is required for the app to function properly.
Microphone Access: This permission is used to analyze the internal device audio for the music lighting. You will not be asked for this permission unless you choose to enable the Audio Visualizer indicator for the ring.
Storage Access: This permission is used to get the color of your wallpaper. You will not be asked for this permission unless you choose to use the color of your wallpaper for the ring.
Notification access: This permission is used to change the color of the ring after notifications
Burn-in concerns: Some Android displays may suffer from mild burn-in if a single item is displayed on the screen for an extremely significant amount of time. If you are concerned about this, feel free to enable the rotation animation in ring settings. That will ensure the display is constantly changing. Alternately, you can disable the default effect to only show the ring while an indicator is being triggered. Note: Samsung Galaxy devices come with burn-in protection that moves the pixels a little each time.

Unfortunate news.
Hey zzcool would I be able to get a code from ya for gs22 ultra thanks man, and sorry to hear about your friend.
Looks like a really nice app.
Has anyone experienced any kind of burn in with it? That would be a bit of a concern for me using this app.
Yes the original owner of this account unfortunately passed away due to Covid last year, I am a family member (cousin) who has taken over the account and ensuring the work he was working on is either finished and or passed back to the original owner. I would also appreciate you removing the deceased full name from the post @zzcool

the name has been removed i meant no disrespect i just wanted to honor him for the help he gave me i also thought he deserved to be mentioned on xda as he was a known member here i didn't think straight, and apologizing for doubting him, in the past when he stopped responding after i paid him i received a mysterious email claiming they have my sourcecode and that they wish to sell it to me, i made a thread about this on xda which plenty who are aware of this app probably read i didn't name him but i am sure some knew him and thats what i was trying to correct to take back anything i said saying i thought i got scammed and this is guilt that hurts right now as i didn't know, it had been months i didn't know what was happening, i didn't doubt him until suddenly someone emails me trying to sell me the code, i waited months for him and didn't think any of it.
i apologize for doubting him and i have felt bad about this ever since it happened which i told you in the original email that i sent to you, i have been scammed a lot by many i wasn't thinking straight and for that i apologize and have apologized multiple times i hope you forgive me as i didn't know, hence why i wanted to take this thread to mention it to correct my original assumption it was meant as an apology not the other way around.
i didn't mean any of this and i hope you know that he was a good friend and i enjoyed working with him he also was very compassionate it wasn't just work with him i enjoyed the time i spent knowing him i miss him
Hi, would like to request arc lighting unlock codes for my s22 ultra... Thanks !
Hello. Sad news. My condolences.
Thanx for keeping this going, though.
Still possible to get a code for
Arc Lighting?
Thanx for the replay
Could I also ask for the code to the programme?
Kind regards.
Would love to try the code please
Would it be possible for you to also send me a code for the S22?
Also, thanks for taking over the project and my condolences. I recently recovered from COVID and I can attest that I hope no one ever has to go through it.
Are you taking questions about the app or suggestions?

Click to expand...

well i am not sure of the future of the app currently but yes i am taking suggestions some things that i already know needs to be done or well not all of them it's just ideas i wanted originally on this app
realtime toggle needs to be removed as you have to manually turn it on or off, and the positioning system needs to be simplified, right now it's extremely finicky to adjust the position, positioning also needs to be possible despite a phone being supported, basically you have a menu you enter for positioning which makes the circle a clear color with an easy to adjust menu so rather than a menu mixed with everything else you get an isolated menu that turns off the ring and makes it a solid color, once you exit that menu the realtime toggle will be off.
some bugs
glow causes the ring to be frozen white very old bug
music light sometimes works sometimes not, some indicators makes the others turn off entirely i don't know how this works exactly i just know some make the others turn off.
crashes when adjusting position of the ring
sometimes the ring just stops working at which point you have to force restart it and redo the accessability permission
homescreen/app ring rather than just always show ring, so you can have the ring behave a specific way on the homescreen and inapp as well as everywhere so the ring can become a wallpaper addition, these features were already in my arc lighting navbar app so maybe this can be ported considering arc lighting was built off the navbar sourcecode
landscape issues this is a very known bug something that has an unknown cause as landscape works for me on my s22 ultra sometimes sometimes not
adding indicator options for each color so you can have color segments doing what you want like for example if you have one color spinning around then this one handles notifications while a color on the other side of the ring handles something else, this was an advanced idea though and not something i expect to be implemented.
turning off various app notfications right now you have to set it to transparent to turn it off.
not saying any of this will be done it's just what i wanted with the app originally
