Android version?
-
I really love this program! i've been using it for a week now
and my eyes are so much less strained.
I really wish that it would be available on the play store.Can you please make an android version?
Even if you guys make it a paid version i would pay for it!
Thank you!

Google has not opened the proper things so far in android kitkat or even lollipop so they will probably try to get access in Android M. I mean shit this has been going on for some time.
I strongly feel that Google owes f.lux a small bone for Picasa.
I think in return Google could just open up the damn gamma settings and lock it down at 800K. It's 2015. This is a simple fix, what is Google or Apple or Microsoft or BlackBerry or whoever else waiting for? There's no way it can cause any security issue especially if it's locked to pure red.
But as I know, "Patience". So we have to be calm about it.
-
Don't really understand the above, but how come there are other similar apps available on Play store? Not saying they are any good of course but they seem to work enough for some without these Google "things" or "settings". It's a shame since it works well for me on windows.
-
There aren't actually similar apps on the Play store. The apps that don't require rooting do tint your screen but they don't remove much alerting light. There's one that has a '1500K' setting that measures 5100K with a spectroradiometer. We are hopeful we'll have a release in the future for all (or at least most) Android phones. Til then, dimming and inverting your screen are good ideas. https://justgetflux.com/news/2014/12/21/advice.html

Hey,
it seems like there are is a chance to change display settings in android using newer snapdragno processes. Maybe you guys want to have a look at this, perhaps there is a ways for your app to work with this approach:

Is there at least a root/xposed version? I wouldn't mind rooting my phone to having f.lux on it.
Came from an iOS device to Android and I miss f.lux so much.
-
Uvex SCT Orange glasses work well until f.lux becomes available in the Play Store.
-
@timpster Why does Google owe f.lux for Picasa?
-
@Neil-Das They don't. He's making a reference to the fact that Michael and I were on the team that made Picasa, which Google acquired (he was the CTO and I was the product manager). ^_^

Post deleted. We ask that people not claim that other apps "do the same thing" because they don't, and someone might come here and think they've found an answer. There are many pinkish clones that don't have accurate colors or measurement and don't incorporate the known science (even though some of them took the time to copy paste our research page!). We have not measured every app but the ones I generally hear about do not do what they claim in terms of color temperature, and their settings don't remove very much melanopically stimulating light.
This is one of those incredibly easy problems when you first learn about it, but it magically becomes extremely difficult after you've spent a few years working on it.

@lorna as anon73 asked, is there a way that we can do it by ourselves? like rooting and writing a program similar to f.lux for our personal phone?(wondering if it is even possible)
Also I was wondering whether Google provided those settings for f.lux in the Marshmallow or not? If yes, I was curious if you guys are working on a version for Android?
-
@lorna Is it possible for us to sign up to be notified when an Android version is available?
-
I would also like to know if you guys are working on an Android version. Also, thank you for the hard, but important work you're doing.
-
@Ahmad-Ghadiri yes, you can message me for access to the beta if you have a rooted phone.
-
@janhunt Not presently, if you have a rooted phone you can sign up for beta access.
-
@Mara-Renae-Law thank you. We are, I hope we'll have something for you soon. For rooted phones it's available now.
-
I'm going to apologize in advance for my ignorance, because I have no idea what a rooted phone is or how I can root mine. I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 if that helps.
-
@f-lux-team @lorna I have a rooted Nexus 5 & 7 (2013), both running stock 6.0.1. I'd love to sign up for beta access if that's ok.

having a rooted phone/obtaining root on a phone/ to have root
allows you to modify, add or delete system files within the Android OS. Basically, it's like receiving all access for your phone, kinda like an admin account on Windows or a router, for example, but more powerful. It enables you to do anything with your phone, even if it wasn't intended by the manufacturer. This includes things like installing custom versions of different operating systems, deleting unwanted apps or, in this case, installing 3rd-party or unverified apps. Another thing rooting allows you to do is change system settings that otherwise would not be available for developers to tinker with. And this is why f.lux needs root on a device in order to work. So it may override system settings and allow the app to do its job.
"Root" has a deeper meaning related to computers in general, I invite you to research the term on Google, since it's really cool

@lorna I got an Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 Rooted. Where can i get the beta? And i got an custom kernel on android 4.3, does that make any sense? Thanks! I love the app on the iPad! Used it since feb 2014

Thanks for the help @SmoothMarx!
I've been researching it and if/when I root my phone, I'll be back here to find out how to get the beta version of f.lux on my S6.
-
@lorna Hello!

@gloomy @andeveryoneelse there is already a thread for this

-
Running it on my nexus 5. It starts up everytime i reboot the phone, part from that, it works perfectly. You can really tell a difference when comparing it to other services like twilight. Its more visible and at the same time easier on the eyes! Can't wait for this to leave beta!
-
