Force dark mode is cool. I liked it in 2019 when I first found it, but it ruins the experience overtime when you realize there is text you cannot read. I do hope this option is fixed now or in the future.

[@ReviewsByCinephile]

It isn't supporting snapchat bruh ...

[@rmt74358]

@@ReviewsByCinephile I would not know. I do not use snapchat. I could download and find out

[@Asim112]

True, even instagram took a long time to support it. While in real it doesn't need a work or even 100$ economy to implement it for such a company!

[@LaLista209]

I can't even find this setting bro

[@rmt74358]

@@LaLista209 You need to enable developer mode. to do this you need to go into settings and go to about phone. from there look for the build number once you find you need to tap it until it displays "developer mode enabled" in developer mode will have it.

I seriously admire your work. I'm an android nerd yet always find new good stuff here.

[@kennethstocks3096]

I find all of your videos to be very informative and useful especially your developer options tricks. I like many other people use to be afraid to even go into those settings but the way you presented those great useful settings was interesting and actually fun to see and try out. And knowing that you can always go back to the original settings without messing anything up was such a relief to know. Thank you for sharing this information with us all. To be honest you are the best at showing these tips and tricks for cell phones.

[@coolpoete]

These are super-great and useful man, I subscribe just for this kind of information. I'd love to see you tackle Android 13 when you get it on your pixel and when you've had time to tinker with it to show great tips and tricks there. Thanks for the video!

[@Coco-Loco]

Thankyou! These were really cool! I wonder how well the graphics driver change affects games' performances. Would it make emulation faster?

@@frozenhouse5362 Yes sir, shall do!

[@howtomen]

That's a really good question, and I'm not entirely sure. But I'm sure it could help out if you're running an older phone that doesn't have a powerful gaming mode. Newer phones released in the last year probably won't see any huge performance improvements. It all depends on the device.

[@Coco-Loco]

@@howtomen I have a device running Android 12 but it is a tablet with mediocre specs at best so it definitely struggles. I'll see if it performs better on emulators and report back since I don't have any other games

[@petertrex]

Fan fact: Force-Dark mode does not Aliexpress App, so I always have to use app called Darker to just dim the screen

I only use the animation settings from developers options. Also you haven't mentioned that forcing an app for (dark / split / float) wont make it work as perfect as if the app support naturall, eventhough it's a common sense😃

Do NOT change the default USB configuration, if you connect to a sketchy usb port that you don't know, it might have a computer connected to it which will readily copy all of your data

[@howtomen]

That's true. But either way, if there was a virus copying your data on a desktop, it would probably do it in the background without you even knowing. So either way, the person would not be able to see this coming and still with manual USB configuration input, would still get screwed cause they wouldn't know.

Floating app windows, if you set multiple apps to freeform you can literally open them all up on your screen at the same time (split screen gives you 2 apps, floating gives you as many as you want or at least as many as you can fit on your screen).

Oh but it works perfectly on my samsung

[@markritacco270]

@@nerdakash4920 Thank you, but unfortunatly out of the 20 or so devices I have none are Samsung for me to try.

[@JstormZx]

It was actually introduced in android 10 if I'm not mistaken. So, if it's not showing up in developer options on all the other phones except your pixel, there's a fat chance the manufacturer of those other devices have used force dark for their own implementations of dark mode. Or their implementation of force dark doesn't need the one provided in developer options. Therefore they removed it from developer options completely as it's unnecessary. By this logic, Your device manufacturer should have a native force dark setting under the normal display settings. If not then 🗿 idk

[@JstormZx]

@@nerdakash4920 you mean the developer options version or Samsung's own iteration of force dark?
