Live display is where the screen turns orange in the evening, to reduce eye strain from blue light. I believe it was originally pioneered by Flux, before becoming a native feature on phones and computers. Essentially blue light is for daytime, and candlelight for nighttime, just like the old days!

Make of that what you will

"Contrary to common belief, blue light may not be as disruptive to our sleep patterns as originally thought - according to University of Manchester scientists.
According to the team, using dim, cooler, lights in the evening and bright warmer lights in the day may be more beneficial to our health."

So that means Live Display is as useful as Homoepathy 
Ah, I knew the feature but not its name 
I tried yesterday evening. Switching the different live display modes was possible and also had a visible effect between âautomaticâ and âoffâ.

I would say that means you can do whatever you like with the colours ⌠just make yourself a personally comfortable display experience without a bad conscience until science reaches a consensus .
Could well be we end up being individuals for which you can not generalise the supposed impact of this.
Homeopathy is not a bad analogy ⌠if you believe in its effectiveness, it really might trigger positive effects.

Ah, well, so thereâs ONE SINGLE study now and all previous studies (e.g. https://justgetflux.com/research.html) are void and letâs call it âHomeopathyâ?!?

Thats what Iâm saying. Donât rate down the placebo effect.
All working fine. Thank you for your hard work .
I tried an upgrade from 16.0 to 17.0 with an encrypted partition. When I rebooted, it told me that my encryption password was correct, but the data partition was corrupted. I reinstalled 16.0 and the phone booted again, but apps kept stopping. So, I decided to wipe the encrypted data partition (Fortunately, I backed everything up) and installed 17.0 and now I am very happy .
Only thing I canât get to work is encrypting my new data partition. Instead of rebooting and encrypting, it just reboots (without showing the âFAIRPHONEâ fastboot screen). Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks again.

Unfortunately there is not. The proximity sensor can only be calibrated when you have a FPOS/FP OpenOS installed (Settings > Maintainance > Proximity Sensor).

My FP2 with LineageOS 16.0 has the Fairphone Proximity Sensor Tool too.

Not true since at least November 2017

Ah cool, sorry to interrupt then.

If someone is really interested in understanding what Ingo said, thereâs this freakinâ good, scientific article about science, media, fears and fallacies for regular hoomans (get away mice, over-pressured journalists, ultracrepidarian uncles and other trolls). Unfortunatelly, itâs written in Spanish. But, fortunatelly, we now have awesome contextual translators, .

This works surprisingly well.
In addition to that you can also use the LiveDisplay > Color Calibration to reduce the brightness beyond the minimum brightness value. I use this feature a lot on Lineage 16 because otherwise the display would be too bright in dark environments.
For example today due to the rainy weather I set it to 80% during the day:

First results after testing the version for around 20 days:
- It was pretty stable during the first days. Currently the version crashes once a day. This might however be a problem of my phone which seems to have one of the unstable AA processors. I throttled it today with Kernel adiutor a bit. Letâs see if this solved the case.
- After some days I got some strange android app icons in the menu. When clicking on them the system tells me that a âwebbrowser is neededâ to access the content. After that an empty black Play Store window remains open in the background. I noticed that the first icon showed up after a crash. Sometimes the icons disappear again, however so far 3 of them seem to stay permanently. Will check if there is some pattern with that.
- After a restart after a crash with the internet turned off the phone jumped back from the 20th december to the 12th december 2019. Why it jumped back exactly these number of days is a bit unclear (maybe the 12th was the day I reinstalled the system and thus it goes always back to that date? Will check next time this happens). I donât remember this time-set-backs after crashes in the regular FP OS.

- I could agree that it crashed very often - independent from active mobildata
- i do not know if it is a playstore issues, it is not possbile to install with f-droid apps on background/automatic
Iâve been using this (not as daily driver, though) since almost a month and noticed only two problems so far
- The setting to show battery percentage in the status bar is ignored (see this post + the one above)
- Wireless Display (see this post; notification LED problem mentioned there probably was a misconception)
What I didnât test was upgrading from 16 to 17, it was a clean install with storage wipe.
Now that Android 10 might soon come to the FP2, maybe itâs an idea to try out this backup solution that is intended to replace the Google backup functionality (as it targets Android 10)

I have been using LOS 17.0 Beta0 for almost a month now (without GAPPS) as my daily driver and my experience was very positiv. I had a few random reboots though (1-2 per week).
This seemed to be an issue with the /system partition in Android 10 and is being worked on. You can use my hacked UnifiedNlp (only for LOS 17.0!) if you want to try it out.
But now that UnifiedNlp is installed I realized, that the Battery Saving option of Location does not work as expected. The GPS always used for location, not only Cell Towers and Wifi.
I still cannot make Live display work. @Ingo Did you setup anything different on your phone?
My live display looks like this:

I didnât do anything with the LiveDisplay settings, other than changing them to see if they have any effect and back again.
If I donât forget I can later upload a screenshot of the settings, I donât have the phone with me that runs 17.0
Daily usage update. Itâs been fairly stable for me (uptime 409 h). Did a fresh install as I couldnât upgrade from 16 to 17 with encrypted data partition.
I think I have some LOS app specific issues: Gallery (doesnât seem to interact well with other apps, eg. photo sharing), Phone (wonât let me pick up incoming calls), Calendar (wonât show my Google calendars). but Iâm guessing thatâs due to them not being ready yet .
Thanks for all your efforts getting this working. Iâve been enjoying showing people shiny new Android on relatively old phone .
