change colors in any apps possible ? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i know there are lots of apps that change the screen temperature for easy reading using an overlay
is there any app that can change custom colors inside the app based on this 'easy' method ? even if it runs the cpu a little higher to render.
ie set the source color -> destination color to change ?
i think its a good ideea to continue theme android after updating to pie since substratuum doesnt work anymore

[Q] Remove CRT effect

Does anyone know how to remove the CRT effect from ROMs that include it?
It doesn't look great on SGS2 yet (until a fix is out for the scrambled image). Besides, I like the fade out feature from stock ROM.
go to display settings and change look for a option where you can change from dynamic to movie..

Doesn't hat only change the colour balance? I tried it anyway but it didn't do anything...
must modify framework.apk using apktool or similar
could try just copying the stock framework.apk - but may cause force closes.

[Advice] DSB color choosing logic.

I'm not a programmer or anything but i have an idea that can improve the performance after the DSB update.
I experience some lag on my Nexus 7 (Flo) every time it scans for the color.
What if were only needed to scan once for every app and then be saved on a file? Every time you use an app since that moment, the engine would search in that file instead of having to scan again.
Btw, thanks for your work and sorry for my English.
But then in apps whose action bar changes color or is hidden ie: Google Newsstand, the color would just stay the same.
Suggestion

you could have a system whereby the rom essentially learns which apps change color and which apps dont. So say you launch Facebook a couple of times and the color doesn't change, so the rom will write the color codes to a file for that app. And say you launch an app that changes color like Google Newsstand or Play Store a couple of times, the rom will learn not to write the color codes for the app to a file. It's important that the rom should remove saved color codes after updates and I suggest this can be done by pulling the date modified information and also, the rom should only write the colors after the 3rd or 4th launch so as to ensure everything is covered for. The ROM could also be shipped with like a color code file that automatically syncs with a file on PA servers so that the community can add colors for apps they use and all they have to do is launch the app and all requests to push color codes to that file have to go through a mod. Kind of like how the rom building process is now with gerrit and github except more lightweight I guess haha

Options menu for custom Clocks

Do any of you know how to accomplish this? I would like to get that little edit icon found below some of the stock clocks to make available some options for a watchface that I'm developing. I can't seem to find it in the documentation and I would like to allow the setting of a static location rather than GPS.

AFAIK it's only possible with the stock clocks as the clock SDK hasn't been provided by Samsung.

How do I skin my custom ROM?

I'm trying to make a custom ROM (for now, only for x86, because I don't want to flash anything on my actual phone) and I want to modify the default UI throughout the entire system. This includes colors, outlines, corners on buttons, etc. Is there something in the AOSP source that would allow me to make these changes? I'm hoping I don't have to open the source for each individual application to change the look.

Sorry to say that but you'll have to mod each and everyone of your apps to have those changes (outlined, colors).
I've heard of a substratum theme that might fit your expectations, but I you want to do it yourself (which is more fun) you'll have to modify each and every apps. When you'll mod systemUI your modification will go "system wide" (quick settings and stuff) but the phone app won't be changed.
Have a good day
@MasterPixelDestroyer
Several XPosed Framework modules exist that do the job.
Study their source code to get an idea how to tweak system UI ( read: home screen ) is done.

Change icon sizes on Chrome homepage.

After much (very much) frustration, I have managed to find a combination of settings (minimum width in developer options /zoom/font size) that allows all my apps to display correctly. Except now the homepage looks like this:-
Is there any way to change either the icon dpi/size alone or have the whole screen dedicated to the icons because I never use Discover (so its wasted space)?
Thank you.
What combination of settings? (minimum width in developer options /zoom/font size)
I'm really sorry, I can't remember what I was using because it was unusable like that.
I now use Labs/Bixby routines to change the resolution automatically when I use the apps that were previously giving me problems. It's not a perfect solution but it's better than it was.
Plus, I don't think that the minimum dpi settings actually stick correctly on this tablet, unless I am doing something wrong.
