I just went through this on my S5. "Here's a solution! Go to "about device", find "build number", and tap it a bunch of times until the phone tells you you are a developer. Then, go back to settings, and above about device, you will see a new option called "developer options". Open it, and find "Simulate color space", and set it to "Monochrome"."

Worked for me, thanks! BTW, I had to vouch for your comment to get it to not be [dead].

That's weird. A couple of days ago their comment was visible fine, and they only have one comment.

> Separately, I've got a "Night Mode" setting, which lets me set a schedule and a color temperature to use. What a dream. May I ask what Android version you're on? On 8.1.0 it's not there. EDIT: will not work on 5X, only on Pixel devices...

I've got a wileyfox (s2) and it's one of the options on there? If not there's apps for it, I remember seeing something on f-droid for it, but since it's built in I don't use it.

Yup, there are apps on f-droid but they (Red Moon) suck because they're just an overlay that kills all blacks.
