[Q] Is it possible to modify the color used in Ambient Display? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Would modifying one of the .xml strings to, say...33b5e5 make it possible to change the Ambient Display font to Holo Blue or any other hex color? I would really love to see this happen, or even do it myself under the right guidance. Thanks for any help or suggestions in advance.

@dankoman is this possible with your coloured ambient display commits in layers or is that just background?

that was for 5.0. google changed everything around on 5.1 and the colored ambient display commits are no longer current.
it's not as simple as you think though. in ambient display, the notification items are grayscaled first (in java) to save on processing power and battery, so even if you colored the text, it wouldn't matter.

Thanks for the info. I'm not sure if you have experience with Moto Display, but do you know if the same is true for Moto Display? It seems their proprietary implementation of this uses images in the MotoDisplay.apk.

[Q] Over Saturated Screen Color, Any fix?

Does anyone find the fix for the over saturated Moto-X amoled screen?
Open this link from your browser in your PC and compare it with your mobile browser: #0099cc Color Hex #09C
Even though I understand that many people prefer the "more vibrant" color, my biggest problem is that these colors are fake.
They are not representing the actual color.
I have tried to use app like "Screen Adjuster" and "Filter Your Screen", but they merely superimposed another color filter to the existing color instead of fixing the original screen settings.
Please help, Thank you,
WP
It's the nature of AMOLED screens.
I use an app called Lux to help mitigate this a little as it allows more customization of the backlight than stock.

I have tried Lux, and I dont seem to be able to 'correct' the color.
Do you mind share your settings info? Thanks

It doesn't correct anything, just allows for finer control of the backlight depending on lighting conditions - making the colors seem less vivid.
Other than experimenting with the backlight level, the only customization I chose was selecting the "fluourescent" color temp in night mode.

The ambient feature black/white mode

Not sure if the ambient feature includes having the album art or notifications in all black & white. Now my question is there any way to imply this to the whole system UI? I understand there are custom ROMS like Slim that have the black out options, but I would like the whole UI in this "ambient feature mode". Not sure if this is even possible...be that'll be the coolest! Thanks
It would be interesting to have that option especially at night. Although I would like she ability to toggle any app to B&W if I could.
In the developer options you can simulate color space and check monochromacy.
Edit: Haha thought it would show in screenshot, guess not. But it does work. Everything is in black and white
Thanks! Just made my day!!

[WORKING] Lenovo P2 (rooted) custom led notifications Stock

Hi,
to get custom led notifications you need a rooted P2 and Light Flow (find it on google apps)
I want to thank Andrew Moore (Light Flow)for taking the time to look at this with me and pointing me in the right direction
New (upcoming) version of Light Flow supporting "large" numbers for RGB led brightness will be available soon. Otherwise you may want to edit the backup file as per this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/vibe-p1/how-to/led-fix-custom-roms-t3569108
1>Disable led notifications on you device (Display)
In Light Flow
1> enable Direct mode and root
2> enable rgb led
3> set the rgb brightness to any the following for your notification:
Bright red:13631488
Pale Blue:6316128
Crabapple Red (pink):11796512
Orange:12607488
Green: 35840
Cyan Blue: 32896
Sea Blue: 8388
Dark Purple : 3876477
Before Andrew put me in the right direction, I tried different brightness levels with mixed success. As you see from above, the numbers have no logical sense (at least to me).
If you do find additional colors, please post them in this thread.
HAPPY CUSTOM LED NOTIFICATIONS EVERYONE
Here are the "reference colors"
Works also on custom roms.Thanks for the guide!
Thanks for making the LED work! But I'm stuck at the brightness levels part... In the notification settings per app, under the light settings, I can only set 4 numbers and you give a whole lot more. What am I doing wrong?

As I said, light flow at the moment only supports 4 . Andrew (the maker of light flow) will update the app asap. If you are in a hurry., use the backup/modify./restore method mentioned in the first post. Just change the brightness level. It works.
Hi, any chance to set the red color too (the red color the LED shows when charging)?
Found it in the first post Sorry!
Useful 10x.
Thanks for the tip and tutorial, I got a bit confused on where to set the RGB colors (in the individual notifications) but it's working well now. Also the battery charged threshold was set at 90% by default so it popped up as green when I plugged in at 92%
It is only working in Test for me. Can someone send détailled settings?
Thanks
Did you make sure it was active? If it is you'll see a notification in the pull-down list.
This is really cool, definitely will use a custom Rom because of Light Flow.
Working thanks
Could someone tell me where I insert the RGB values?
I have a rooted Lineage 14.1, but all I can select is one colour with RGB enabled...
There is only one colour available per application, ie e.g. Signal has blue (which works), agenda as well, but Gmail has black... And that's not showing of course
Edit: I edited the settings manually and imported them again as suggested in the opening post, we'll see how that goes...
Does it work with free version of Lightflow?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflowlegacy
Works for me with the legacy version. But there is also a "light" version of the newest release.
Currently, I see heavy battery drain due to light flow; the device never goes to sleep. Maybe, this is different with the light version... I will try.
Edit: same battery drain issue with the light version...
This does not seem to work with the latest version of the app(I even bought pro). I followed all the steps but it never works. Is there something I'm missing? after enabling rgb control i setup a notification and in the setting's light tab i enable the light and set the rgb LED to solid and set the color to one given in the first post(none of them seem to work). I then use the test button but LED does not turn off(tried both - turning screen off and keeping it on). Any Help?
@Uibon
Me neither.
Edit: Legacy is working, but only when screen is off. I'm rooted of course rooted (Magisk) and I have the "screen on" option ticked.

The title says stock?
Those of you who reported it working, does it work when the screen is on as well?
Edit: Missed calls, incoming call and other things related to the system is working when screen is on. With Textra (and other apps?) it only works when screen is off.
Thanks for the instructions and links.
I bought the app (Just Rs 10).
Cant be more worthy purchase.
All working good.

LED Color Change

Is there any way to change the color of the notification LED on the Note 8 without root? I'd like to change it for each specific notification (gmail, missed call, text, etc.). I have tried Light Flow with no success.
I use light manager, have been using it for years.
On the note 8 it works well for notifications, and works for charging but not as well as previous phones.
What is funny is there is a "LED Icon Editor" in the Notification Access area in settings. When I click to allow it to access notifications it goes right back off. I can't find this app anywhere else on the phone.

I don't pay much attention to battery life. I've been using the app for years, no problems for me.

This is actually for the LED Case which you can customise the LED notifications
For anyone finding this thread later, LightFlow works with the Note 8 without root

The problem with Light Flow on the Note 8, though, is that it appears that, even though I believe the LED is capable of RGB, it gets some colors very wrong. It may just be custom colors that are the problem.
Light Flow also now does a bunch of other stuff, aside from the LED. You can have it filter notifications based on pattern matching, make a different sound, repeat the sound, use a popup, add vibration. It does a bunch of Notification-handling stuff and is a bit simpler and more reliable (in my experience anyway) than trying to use a cobble of Tasker + AutoNotification.
I also use light flow and I've had no issues once set up although I do have the colour differences, e.g. select white and the led flashes a purple'ish colour.
Other than that it's been fine, negligible battery usage too.

That setting is for the LED wallet cover/case Samsung makes for the Note 8 and can only be turned on after inserting the phone is to that specific case.
I use light manqger, since S3, then, the colors were accurate, but in my note 4 note 7 and now with the note 8, I find the colors missrpresented, no white, but a bluish tone, no yellow, but a somewhat orange tint, etc, so, I guess the led is not capable to display accurate colors, but, for me, that is not a big deal, the available color suffice my needs

Sorry to bump a 2 year old thread but does Light Flow work for Facebook Messenger for you? I can't seem to get it to display blue color for Messenger no matter which app I use for changing LED colors.

No worries, although I don't think I can help.
I no longer use Messenger however I did used to be able to assign a colour of my choice to it, but who knows how the app has changed in the last couple of years. Not only that but I have a Note 10 now which has no led light :/ Sorry bud

Thanks for replying. I found apps that work but all of them make another notification which is seen on AOD and it just bothers me. Ended up with default LED light and custom Edge Lighting colors for each app with the Edge Lighting Fix App

Notification Pulse Color

I looked to see if I could find this answer on here and on Google please flame away if it's a repost. In the chroma app I set the led color to red. I tell it to pulse if I get a notification,but the pulse color is not the color I selected it is a light blue is this normal?
Thanks
The colour you set in Chroma is just for the passive effect. When you get a notification it tries to find the most prominent colour in the app's logo which sent the notification and uses that. It's meant to make it more useful than a plain old notification LED since you can intuitively determine which app sent the notification just by looking at it.
So yeah, that's normal

Gotcha I will pay closer attention to it seems a little odd to use light blue for Hangouts which is green. Maybe it's just not that accurate
