[ROOT][PIE] Night Light for XZ Premium (and many others)

[TheArt.]

This night light port is running without problems on latest Pie firmware for the XZ1. Thank you very much! :good:
.

Is it possible to achieve this on XZ1 Compact latest Pie and no root? Maybe with adb?

I can't modify the system partition and I'm running mixplorer with root. That's strange

I had this problem, too!

TWRP's file explorer which has plenty of manipulation options.

I used TWRP's file explorer to get this task done! Thanks for the hint! :good:

Nah. The overlay file is only accesible via root.

Would be nice, but no hurry! :good:

Totally forgot - sorry. Crazy days @ work.
Here's the original file - keep in mind that the ambient display might not work as designed. But feel free to play around.

I replace the nightLight.apk in the overlay directory by this apk, but after a restart no 'Ambient Display' was available in the Settings app. Only the 'Night Light' feature as before.

As far as i recall it doesn't have a toggle but you will sure notice that the screen turns on on notifications - it's a bit buggy and I only needed the night light.

I didn't test the ambient display because it's a LCD panel and I only wanted the night light.
Cheers,

Why not just use Pix3lify (supports all devices)?

Created a Magisk Module for this. You can attach it to the original post if you like to

Thank you!

What does the first of theses two line listed in config.sh do?

set_perm_recursive $MODPATH 0 0 0755 0644
set_perm_recursive $MODPATH/system/vendor/overlay/nightLight.apk 0 0 0644

Edit: You should add this module to the Magisk module catalog! ?

The first is the Default Permission and the second sets the Permission for the nightlight.apk correctly.

There are some requirements (as github repo etc) to upload Modules to the repo, I don't think I'll fulfill them. But shouldn't be a Problem to download here

Hey thanks for the mod! I'm using rooted oreo, flashed with magisk and it works fine. BTW I've noticed that turning off night light leaves a sort of amberish tint on the screen, which I have to remove by restoring white balance on display settings. Is this a common behaveiour? It happens with Invert Colors tile too.

Hi,

On oreo, there's a simple adb line to enable night light. it's already baked into the system. Pie needs a helping hand.

Which adb line? Is it possible to enable it without root on Oreo?
