If it's not implemented in the OS, wouldn't it make more sense to create an OS-level utility?

- hawski 9y agoOS-level utility needs APIs that are not there in case of Android. All night-mode apps for Android are just a reddish overlay. It often falls apart when you something can't go through the overlay like AFAIR system passwords. I tried to use apps, but met with this wall several times. Android did have a night mode, but it was experimental and removed in later versions. So other than alternative ROMs there's nothing there.
- gusmd 9y agoMy 1st gen Pixel XL has had night mode since I bought it 1.5 years ago, and it has continued to work all the way to Android 8.1.0.
- posterboy 9y agoit is implemented in android, iirc
