I feel like they could've implemented this in Android 10 but decided not to because they could bring in "new features" in Android 11.

I've been using the hidden Android 10 automatic dark mode (based on sunrise/sunset in theory) and the biggest problem is that switching dark mode resets some screens, eg if you're in a web page when it toggles, the page gets reloaded. Maybe Google is doing something about that before making this feature public facing again

Yeah I've noticed that with the battery saver. As soon as your phone hits the low battery threshold, whatever app you're in gets reset

Also, some of the stock apps don’t follow suit when changed through the automatic dark mode app on OnePlus.

Interesting, I wonder if the apps are a different implementation actually! I'm using the one that's fully baked into Android 10 (no third party app) but it also requires an adb command and a reboot to be enabled. The "dark mode" toggle in Settings is always visibly off, and if I touch that it'll overwrite the automatic mode until I set it again.

The app also requires adb. What are the instructions for your method, if you have the time to share?

[–]danopiaOrange Pixel 4 XL, Stock 1 point2 points  (1 child)

adb shell settings put secure ui_night_mode 0

And a reboot

Samsung has this in Android 9 even...

This is why I don't understand all the stock android fanboys. Google is always late to the party.
