I wasn't to post it here or in the Q&A section but as it would be an app or theme I thought it would be best here.
Anyway... I was wondering if anyone had developed tweak with the stock Messaging App with a Night Mode feature? I read somewhere that Go SMS has a night mode but I prefer the stock app.
Id really appreciate anyone input into this.

Describe the night mode. What does it do?
Night mode is just an inverse of the black and white on pages etc. It's called night mode as when you use your phone in the dark ie night the bright white can hurt your eyes and cause headaches so they inverse the colours to reduce this.
I have night modes on gReader Pro and Laputa Pro (eBook Reader) and I was wondering if it can be adapted to the stock messenger app.
Wouldn't it just be easier to use a messaging app that already has a fully functional night mode like Handcent rather than trying to re-write an existing app?
You can adjust when night mode starts and ends as well as the % decrease in screen brightness desired. It also let you inverse the black/white which is different than night mode.
Plus....Handcent IS FREE, is more fully adjustable and has many more features than stock messaging app.

Even as you quoted Go sms has all the features, my point is why to invent the wheel all over again!!
He did state that he liked the stock app better. That is why he was asking if the wheel could be invented again.

So I got my T-Mobile S9+ on Tuesday. I got everything loaded up and restored and at 10pm, I noticed the color shift on the screen into a night mode type color scheme. Whites were turning a yellowish hue. I'm running Nova Launcher as my main launcher and checked all the settings in the phone itself, and nothing is enabled for Night mode. I ended up having to reboot the phone and it was back to normal.
It happened again the last two nights at 10pm EST. No idea why. I've tried everything short of rebuilding the phone (I know most will suggest this, but I'm trying to avoid it for the time factor). Rebooting seems to reset the clock on whatever is doing it and it goes back to normal.
My wife has the same phone and similar setup with Nova and hers doesn't do it. I've tried going back to the stock Samsung launcher when it is happening and nothing seems to fix it.
Anyone had this happen? I don't see any third party apps that would cause this that I have installed. the only app I can think of that even has a night mode is Nova, but that just effects menus and turns them black, not yellow.
*Edit* Sorry, I meant to put this in the Q&A Section.....

Blue Light filter is disabled and schedule is disabled as well. I've tried turning ON the blue light filter when the issue happens and it actually kicks in on top of the other issue and makes it even MORE yellow.
Seems unrelated to that.
Have you checked the sunset to sunrise toggle..?
Anyone having this blue light issue...blue light is enabled. When I turn on phone from sleep mode it takes like a second to switch to blue. Very weird

I have no idea if there's an easier way to fix this, but here's what I figured out sifting through adb commands. If you run the command
Code:
adb shell 'settings list secure
you will get a list of many of the device's settings. The one we're modifying is called "Night Display" which is different from what everyone has been calling "Twilight Mode" in my google searches. So all we have to do is run the two following codes:
Code:
adb shell 'settings put secure night_display_activated 0'
Code:
adb shell 'settings put secure night_display_auto_mode 0'
This fixed my issue immediately and it persisted through my manual date and time adjustments just to verify and also two reboots. I know ADB commands aren't everyone's cup of tea but it is also a very powerful tool at unfu**ing what manufacturers have fu**ed. Hope it helps others as well!
(ORIGINAL, not needed, left for posterity)
This needs more attention. I know EXACTLY what this is. You came from a more recent Android device that uses Google's own "night mode" settings. I know, because I did too. I came from the Razer Phone and had night mode enabled on that on schedule. After my screen turned a real dank orange color at night, I started looking for the setting and discovered Samsung's "Blue Filter" setting and that enabling it made the orange color even more dank. So I immediately knew that the setting must have carried over when I logged into my google account and carried over my settings.
I have a workaround, but it is just that, it's not a permanent fix and I'm still trying to figure out how to fix it permanently. You need to install System UI tuner from the playstore. Follow the instructions to make the app work by granting permissions using ADB while connected to a PC. This is not root and will not void your warranty as such. From here, you can either just disable "Night Mode" under the miscellaneous tab or you can go to the playstore and install "Nougat / Oreo Quick Settings" which will allow you to add the toggle for "Night Mode" to your quick settings pull down bar. Unfortunately, you have to do this every night to get rid of the ugly orange color.
I've tried disabling the setting on my Razer and syncing everything in my google account from that phone, then restarting my galaxy and hoping that the settings would transfer over, but it hasn't worked. My fear is that I will have to factory reset the Galaxy, go back to Razer, toggle the night mode on and back off. Sync settings, then sign back into my galaxy and hopefully the settings will not come back this time. I just haven't because I don't want to set EVERYTHING back up again, ugh.
If anyone is aware of how to disable the "Night Mode" schedule feature in a different way without factory resetting the device, please let me know. Thanks!
There's an easy solution to this, if you hadn't switch off the night mode on your previous phone before transferring to the S9:

LOL. Jesus. My long-winded solution above yours looks barbaric now. Good thing I wasted a good evening sifting through ADB commands. Good on you for finding this and posting this. Nova saves the day again.

Wish I had waited a little bit longer and had done this. I ended up backing everything up to my SD Card using Smart Switch and then wiping and rebuilding the phone yesterday afternoon. However, I didn't choose to restore from Google and only from Smart Switch, so the night light setting didn't end up carrying over again.
Good to know I wasn't crazy and that my phone wasn't defective.
I had this problem too, and couldn't find an easy solution, until today.
The problem is that samsung will ask you out of the blue if you wanted to enable the "Nightmode" which is separate from "Blue Light Filter," and the two can overlap. Which is annoying. And you'll find yourself looking everywhere to find the setting to turn it off.
So, where is this setting hidden?
Google Playbook.
Launch google playbook, read something, anything. Click the screen and then the "Aa" icon, for changing brightness/fonts. Then there, click Setting again, and you'll find "Night Light" turned on and scheduled.
Simply turn it off and Voila!
No rooting, no launcher or nothing required.
I was all ready to get adb working and use the above workaround, and / or install nova launcher and fix this issue but THIS WORKED.
THANK YOU it has been bugging me for WEEKS.

You are amazing! It was the Google play books settings.
Thank you so much! It just started happening last week so I knew that it didn't come from my smart switch settings. Google play books was on night light settings from 10p-6a. I can see my phone again at night without my screen being yellow or without having to restart my phone. Thank you so much!!! I NEVER would've looked there.
Works like magic on my S7. Thanks a lot!
Perfect!
This fixed my problem, so thank you!
Google play book... who would have guessed..

You might have your blue light filter turned on to a specific time. Mine is set to come on at 6 pm and go off at 6 am. Check that in settings.

If nothing solves your peoblem then just download systemuituner app from playstore and give it some permission using adb commands and then turn off the night light option in the app.
It helped me .:fingers-crossed:
Buddy ur basically a lifesaver. Note 10+ fixed too, can confirm!
Buddy the workaround just saved me at least one trip to SES which is like 30 mins away from my house in Long Island, saved me from erasing the phone and restore it which would definitely be a nightmare and also u just saved my one big annoyance with this phone for the first week of usage!! U are the man!!

Huge thanks as you saved me from factory resetting my new Mi 9 Lite. That's why I love the internet.
My phone used to be in perminant dark mode, which I liked, but recently it started to change between light and dark mode depending on day and night in my local timezone.
It affects mainly my Google widgets and apps (the actual settings screen stays in dark mode as that's how I've set the phone).
It seems to have started this when I first used the Google Auto / driving app which I've uninstalled now, bit I can't find any way to stop this... I want it to remain in dark mode at all times. I can't find anything in the phone or Google apps to change (anywhere with a theme or dark mode setting I've set to dark already).
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks
You can do it with Tasker, but if you don't use that, you can try this app:

Yes, thanks, that sorted the issue, it now stays in dark mode
Has anyone notice a "faded" home/lock screen at android 10?
The wallpaper colours aren't as vivid as the original image.
I can't find any option that might affect on the menu.
Any thoughts?
Is it just home screen issue? What about the options in Settings/Display?
Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk
Yes, i notice this only on home/lock screen.
Before the update everything was fine.
The display options on the menu are stock (as always been).
"Problem" solved.
Dark mode cause this.
I'm pretty sure that using dark mode on Pie, didn't cause this issue although..

Here's the fix, just disable "Apply on wallpaper" feature under dark mode menu.
It's a new future in One UI 2.0.
I use Bedtime Mode on my Galaxy Watch 4 and can't seem to stop it turning on greyscale mode on my S21 Ultra, I can't find any settings that "sync" the 2 devices and disable i, can anyone shed some light on this please?
Grayscale Mode settings for Bedtime Mode are generally found in Digital Wellbeing, at least on AOSP devices. Since you're using OneOS it may be buried under something else but that's where I would start.
Hope this helps.

Hello, thank you for your reply.
Yes, I have turned it off in Digital Wellbeing on my phone but it still activates when I set it on my watch. I usually turn it on, on the watch, when I go to bed but then when I want to use my phone it's a greyscale screen, I would like find a way of stopping the watch control the phone but I don't think it is possible.
