Google app news feed has no text - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

This has been going on for the past couple days. Clearing all the apps data, or reinstalling it, solves it. But only for the next viewing session. The second time you open it, it's right back to the same thing. WTF! This is killing me.

roll back to an earlier version.

You didn't say how you typically update every month, but I would now re-flash the full image (removing -w from the script). You'll lose TWRP and root if you have those, but if these files are on your phone before you start (TWRP, kernel, magisk) it only takes 5 minutes even taking your time. To speed things up be sure to catch the reboot at the end of the image flash, holding down the vol-dn button. That will take you back to fastboot mode instead of waiting for it to boot up and then having to reboot. Flash or boot to TWRP and then queue up kernel and magisk, then let her rip.

whats interesting about your screenshot though is, that the feed is showing a light background, with a dark theme, it should be dark. (it should actually be your wallpaper)

Might be because I'm running Nova Launcher with Nova Google Companion.

Removed myself from the beta, and updated to stable. So far so good. Going to try a few more things to make sure that was it.

While I'm here. I'm still having lockscreen swipe unlock issues. STILL takes 50 tries.
I have the feeling that rooting is part of the problem.
I do remember someone found an "anti-falsing" setting in SystemUI, but that required more work than it should.
Did Google really NOT fix this basic issue yet?

I'm having the same issue, text doesn't show in dark background but shows with a white background.
I'm also part of the beta but I would rather not deactivate it, any other solution? I like my dark background ?

It works again, I didn't touch anything, Google and Google news updated themselves yesterday and since then it works.
I have a Le Max 2 with a Google Pixel OS so I'm not sure if it works on a Google Pixel but I'm guessing that it probably does

Yeah but Andromeda is an add-on to make substratum work. I have to stay plugged into my comp for it to work though. Once I set theme I'm good to go though.

Well I guess having to plug in to set the theme isnt so bad...
I ran into this problem yesterday and all I did was just ran the Andromeda script two times in a row and waited about 10 seconds and it was fine. Both Substratum and Andromeda have been updated since then so it may have just been a bug. The substratum app works great although there are some themes that apparently still require root to use (status bar changes like moving the clock to center). Over all im very happy with the results. Using Sai's Oreo black/teal theme and love it. Big thanks to those who made this possible
Yeah, it's still on the XDA Portal front page.
Is this just for unrooted? Substratum works fine rooted

yeah, this is for unrooted devices.
Yeah been using it since release, works like a dream for me. Don't have to stay plugged in myself either, only a reboot requires a re-run of the andromeda desktop client.
I started using it today but having the same issue with it only working while plugged to the PC. I tried it at least 5-6 times and ran it back to back, still goes to not authorized once I unplugged. But I like the theme so far and everything seems ok for now after I rebooted.

I've been trying it out.
Which black theme hasn't the fewest unintended UI issues? Black themes are nice, but it bugs me when I get white on white text, or my Keep note colors are messed up. I haven't yet tried Swift Black as everyone seems to love it, but I want one that just works. I don't have a ton of time for experimentation.
I'm also not interested in changing the look too much outside of coloring, like Substratum DAN does with all it's fonts and ugly (imo) color themes.
Swift black is the best black theme I found so far. Pitch black seems to be actively worked on but Google now home had black on black issue. Only issue with Swift black was inbox shows a white background once opening an email but it might not be the app's fault.

{Request} Disable SRGB setting

Hello,
Just a request, because I'm sure Google will disable it sooner or later anyway. Is there any developer out there or anyone for that matter that would know a way to enable access to the SRGB screen setting or have an ADB command to enter that would disable it? Please let me know if it's possible and as always thank you in advance

The only option for color changing is this:
I'm pretty sure sRGB is a secure setting, so it can't be changed via adb or any non-root method.

On the Pixel 2 XL? Sure isn't the case on my stock Pixel XL (I stopped rooting once I got the Nexus 6P). The mode to toggle sRGB is right there in the developer settings under "Running Services" on the XL but completely missing in the 2 XL.
Considering how much people are whining about it, they'll obviously release some sort of update to allow people to disable it.
what the hell is wrong with you people
nothing is wrong with the display
i went in a verizon store today and checked out the XL and I dont see why theres such a fake outrage

It's not that something is really "wrong" with the display. It's that Google for whatever unknown reason decided to tune a high end POLED display to sRGB mode which tends to wash out colors.
Coming from a Note 8, the display is noticeably less sharp. Colors are off from a more saturated Samsung panel. Yellows look dark and angled viewing has blue tints.
It's not bad, it's just different, and a lot of people are noticing it. Many from Android media outlets. Apparently Google has acknowledged the display issues and is going to modify it.

Has anyone with the phone tried looking in some of the activities options which typically have many setting hidden but available to launch from? That's the first place I'm going to check when I have the phone. Either use a launcher with activity ability or install an app:

Installed the app and ran it, it only shows a list for itself and Nova. Long press on itself create shortcut doesn't do anything. Settings, home app doesn't show activity launcher. I'm going to take a wild guess and say it's not compatible with Oreo as the last update was 2015.

Yeah you have to switch to all activities from the top pulldown
On 2nd thought, mine crashed on my N6p on Oreo so it may not be compatible. Try installing Nova Launcher. It comes with activity launcher. I believe you just press and hold somewhere on screen and choose activities.

Tap activity at the top and scroll to settings. Open it up and start searching. You can launch the activity by hitting the play button. Some of them may crash but some lead to hidden menus that are not otherwise accessible through normal settings. Like Bandmode (be carefull) or phone info.

[Q] Camera symbol in Google Messages

I have a pixel 2 for work and a pixel 2XL for personal use. They are both using the same version of Google's Messages. However, my pixel 2 has the new camera icon next to the + symbol where you would write your text. My pixel 2xl still only has the + symbol next to where you text. Anyone know if it is a setting I need to change or if one phone got a update pushed on Google's side? Picture shows what I am talking about circled in red.

I connected to pixel support through settings and the technician had me screen share and went through a lot of things like checking in safe mode, Android build version, app settings and other things. He was not sure why my messages app is not updated properly. He ended up having me send a feedback report and said they would be looking into it.
Well time will tell .
I had it on my stock pixel 2 XL then I lost it when I flashed a rom. When I flashed back a month later to stock I got it back. I tried everything I could think of while I was running a custom rom to get it back with no luck.

I have the camera icon now after a clean flash on stock. Every other month (depending on features, patches, etc.) I make it a priority to do a complete wipe of the device. It's tedious and some may see it as redundant, but in my experience since the days of the G1, it keeps everything running smooth.

Android 10 update and Gmail

Recently my 10+ got updated to android 10 and gmail is now blacked out like the rest of the phone as I run it in dark mode. But since I got the update, i can't see any attachments in the main window and now need to enter the email body to open it. Before it was seen below the body in list mode and instead of going into the email body, I just could click onto the attachment. Kinda frustrating

I couldn't get S.I.S. to work. I didn't feel like registering for Telegram just for this, so I didn't look very far into it. Building the lockscreen themes stated that it couldn't find certain resources to replace, so it aborted.
I did get Madness to work, however. Since it focused so much on the lockscreen and not AOD, I was a bit skeptical... but every lockscreen clock I tried out worked just fine with AOD, though finding one I wanted to use was a bit time consuming. All I wanted was a large clock despite using tiny DPI text in the OS. There were a couple larger clocks that were not affected/ruined by my DPI settings.
It seems like there's an issue when the device is unplugged, the AOD clock doesn't reliably update. I've heard that homescreen widgets can have this issue if a non-system font is used for the clock. I may have to do some more research about this as it's a sizable problem to have a visible clock with the wrong time. (sometimes off by more than an hour)

The AOD clock is controlled by System UI. Adaptive Battery has never interfered with Android's own clock before. Help me understand what your thought process is...?
I admit that I haven't done a lot of research on the internals of substratum, but my impression was that it did not use an active process to make the changes.
Turning off adaptive battery didn't help.
This is what I'm experiencing that only started after using the substratum modification.

I tried rebooting without making any substratum changes, then disabling and re-enabling Motion Sense. Unfortunately, it didn't help.
It seems that it takes a couple hours idle for it to start happening. Then once it happens, it will keep happening until the phone is fully unlocked. Tapping the screen will update the time once, but it still requires an unlock or similar(?) to fix for longer than a minute.
Approaching the phone with only motion sense waking the phone will not even update the time, even though it shows the lockscreen wallpaper instead of being dark.

One of my user reported this workaround. this doesn't seems to fix the issue completely. I can't fix this as the issue is not from my end.
