Never said you were , what's a hydiot?

I think the new dressers are absolutely awesome. It takes a little while to get used to them but want to do it's pretty intuitive. And I posted in the Android auto session of the forum a new issue.. overall, the phone feels nappy or in faster. by the way comment everyone if you want to develop or options you can force dark mode the setting in developer options is called override dark mode.

Got it on mine. Really liking the full gesture controls. The Verges video showed night theme working even with Google Calendar but mine is not. I've even cleared cache and data but it's still not in dark mode.

Look for override force dark in the developer options. It will force every app into dark mode. Funny quirk, it changes the search bar on the home screen to dark mode also, which means if you have a dark wallpaper it essentially disappears leaving the Google and Assistant symbols only. Looks kinda cool actually.

See now that sounds stealthy and phenomenal...

Nice tip for those who want full on dark mode. Thanks for the Post

Well, thank you thank you! Yeah, the gestures take a little time to use to, but for the most part, they are very very intuitive! As far as the dark mode it's amazing looking! And yeah, dark mode seems to improve battery life a little bit.

I tried to super unload wallpaper and the Google search widget looks cool, but I also like to look at beautiful colorful wallpapers. Do you think that the superamoled black wallpapers save a significant amount of battery though?

Try using a pure white wallpaper for a day or two and you should notice the difference.

So basically, using a superamoled wallpaper vs a colorful wallpaper is better for battery savings...

I did like the Override dark option but Facebook and Facebook Messenger don't like it and now you can't see any text cuz it makes it white but the background doesn't change to dark.

 

[eric002]

damn, I'm really sorry to hear that. For 99% of the third party apps I've experienced so far everything looks beautiful in forced dark mode.

I just tried it again but still having the same issues. The main Messenger pain shows messages in all white and same with the notifications pane in FB. If I restart my device it reverts the setting.

I notice I need to re-enable dark mode every time I reboot. No biggie, worth it, love the dark

Yes, I've noticed that as well. No biggie though but the forcing dark mode really helps the interface out completely!

I'm really liking the more detailed location controls with Q, too. The "allowed only when in use" is a great step towards more transparency and control. People speak about Google and Privacy, but I've always been more wary of third party apps and their agenda than any service I've every used from Google.

I like it, too, but for me it's a biggie and not worth it. I power off my phone when I go to sleep and power on in the morning. I don't want to change in dev. mode every morning.
