What is Reddit's opinion of Night Light for Android Nougat?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

For those of you that upgraded directly to Nougat from Marshmallow, I created an app that adds the night mode functionality back. Requires a single ADB command for initial setup.

There's an app that will enable and control Android's native Night Mode implementation:

Doesn't require root, but does require running a adb shell command to enable the setting. Even includes the Quick Settings toggle

• Install EX Kernel Manager and use DarkSpice as the governor profile. (Turning on double tap to wake in EX is also a nice little feature).
• AdAway will make your life easier and Chrome faster. It's not very straight forward to install though. I don't remember exactly what I had to do to make it work but I'm sure Google will help.
• Greenify will keep apps that tend to abuse system resources in check.
• Not really performance related but Advanced Power Menu gives you more options.

I ditched both f.lux and CF.Lumen in favor of Night Light. It gets out of the way and uses code built into the Android OS (so less resources) even though it has less features and granular control.

Finally, the camera app from the Pixel phones, which is supposed to be faster, has been ported to the N5X and you can get that on XDA, but I'm waiting on the release of 7.1 stable to test it.

It did when I tried it but I found f.lux very buggy. CF.Lumen was more stable for me, although now that I'm on Nougat I use the built-in Night Light mode through an app called Night Light for Android Nougat. No settings so you can't fine tune it, but I'm satisfied with it as-is. Being part of the base code of Android N means it's much more stable than either f.lux or CF.Lumen.

Does it mean that something like THIS will stop working? ��

Edit: yup that's what it means. The awesome dev of that app had coded a prompt to uninstall the app when you open it after upgrading to 7.1.1 saying it would be advisable to uninstall it. Back to f.lux which seems much smoother than it used to.

I'm using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farmerbb.nightlight simply because it was the first one I saw and it works well. It does require WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission be granted to it via adb shell, but does not require root.

Has anyone tried "Night Light for Nougat" which enables it via the WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission?

Night Light is a nonroot f.lux-like app that works off Nougat's secret native night mode. Works very nicely!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farmerbb.nightlight

Built-in nightmode (the red-ish tint), unlockable using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farmerbb.nightlight and root or adb.

If you have access to a computer with ADB, then you can add night mode back using this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farmerbb.nightlight

It's hidden. Download this app to enable it.

Check this out https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farmerbb.nightlight

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farmerbb.nightlight

You can use this to set a schedule that should work a lot better than the settings baked into N.

Then why not install one with Tasker support? Check out Night Light for Android Nougat.

Get the function back with this.
