There's some prior art on that already.

Well, for one, we should start using it only when it's dark outside.

Don't be silly. It's shoggoths all the way down.

Actually, scratch that--it looks like AT&T removed that option. However, a.) that's AT&T being a shitty carrier, and not the fault of Android; and b.) there's a way around it already.
