Great deep black theme

If your into the deep black themes, this one is great for the Note 5. On the AMOLED display it looks stunning, true deep black hole, not dark grey, or midnight blue, but black as black.
To run this theme, you need two things;
#1: Material Dark theme installed from the Samsung store
#2: Flash this zip in Recovery "Blackery" from this link below;

really like this theme............then realized needed root and i'm on verizon.............it would be great to have something like this on the theme store for samsung.

Amazing work @cambunch

what does the drop down notification looks like

i like this theme as well, however, after applying the "blackout" zip, my Gallery app crashes when trying to change the home/lockscreen wallpaper. is this happening to anyone else? i had to revert to a backup i made before installing/flashing the zip. FYI, i'm on Loco's deodexed ROM. thanks.

No its good.
-from galley I can set wallpaper from pic
-from camera app on bottom right can enter into gallery by pressing little picture
-can set wallpaper from long pressing on screen, from both twiz, and nova
- also (and this was more by chance then on purpose) changed theme by means of ultra power saving mode and it changed back to blackey afterwards

I'm patiently waiting for this to hit the theme store.

beautiful theme thanks. every background is black and cyan for icons and settings icons. dropdown menu icons are white.

The best Battery friendly theme ever seen since Samsung has brought theme engine to its devices.
Great work.. everything works flawlessly.. just flashed on my NOTE 4.
Thanks for awesome theme.

Nice. Thanks in advance! :good:

Working perfect on 6.0 no problems at all!
Maybe pull down menu would look better pure black colored but that depends on your wallpaper.
Everything working nice in settings, dialer, contacts and alarm, no missing text or strange overlays when contacts "pop up" while pressing dialer.
Perfect

This is v2. Changelog is in Post #2
Downloads Below. Enjoy

I have some feedback that will give more flow to the theme
The light green areas should be pure black
The light grey area should be pure black, in the incall UI
The colour on the numbers showing up in lock screen should be the same colour as the purple in rest of the UI. Think these looks a little more blury than the other purple colour used in settings/contacts etc.

@XDevOS, nice update! Though the v1 works awesome on my device. Keep on being great! Thanks!

Not out yet, but i am currently working on a dark theme for the galaxy too.

It would nice if some apps Gmail and what's app get themed dark too

Yeah, definitely looking for a wholly dark experience. I've already added a dark theme and navbar but still want all dark notifications (just like wunderground)... and gmail etc...

Yeah since 7.0 the Samsung themes don't support changing the color of the notifications. But it should come later.

There is a stock one made by Samsung, its jet black, To get an instant preview, goto "Accessibility" "Vision" and enable "negative colours"
If you like this look, then do the following, first turn off Negative Colours.
You need to be logged into your Samsung account.
Then goto "Settings" "Wallpapers and Themes"
Then "Themes" (at the bottom) "Search" (at the top) for "High Contrast" download and apply this...
Then its like someone cut your circulation - made your world turn black !!
This makes the system menus black, and so for the phone, contacts, calendar, calculator and notification shade.
feedback your thoughts. After smashing the "thanks" button =)

The one I'm using and think is the cleanest is Material Black in theme store.

This is good.

No, you just install the apk and reboot. If you're not happy menu>settings>apps>uninstall>reboot and you're right back where you started.

Just download the apk you want, place it on your sdcard or internal storage. On your phone go to my files>sdcard or internal storage>tap the file and select install. It will say something like are you sure and you will take you to security>unknown sources> push that tab to the right and go on with the installation. When and if you want to uninstall go to menu>settings>apps>look for the apk you installed and then uninstall it.

Saw the non - rooted method. Wondering what the rooted method was? Searched and couldn't really find anything except rebuilding the theme. Which I think is the non rooted method.

Rooted method would be recompiling framework-res and push it back in system.
The colors.xml need to be changed.

*- notification_title_color = main notif text color
- notification_info_color = affects time & " X new messages" header
- notification_text_color = notif content color.
- notification_default_color = affects notif action buttons & non-accent app name & icon color

eNubiX is really nice, thank you!
I think I should try the red one but I am now sick of restarting my phone. I do agree that you should have provided screenshots.
Thanks again for sharing them!

I think I know why no one wanted to put up the screenshots. These APKs will darken your notifications, but does not actually change them. They are still all the black background with hard-to-read dark grey writing and teal accents. I was really hoping for notifications with a black background with white writing and red highlights.
What the APKs did do was change my settings area, but everything does that. I'm attaching the 3 screenshots so everyone can see.
I hope we get a true way to change the background, text and accent color on our notifications some day. It seems so simple it should be part of stock Android.

Any black conversion themes out there for Pixel 2?

Is there any conversion mods out there that makes the menues (and what not) on our Pixel 2 units into fully black themed colors?
I am asking this just for battery reasons, because we got AMOLED based screen technique and darker colors is better for conserving battery life on this kind of screens.
Anyone?

I use SwiftBlack personally

I use the spectrum theme (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jerbeck24.Spectrum)

Most complete one I know of is Swift Black (or Swift Dark for dark grey instead of pure black). Great Substratum theme updated every 1-2 weeks. There are some issues with notification text on all themes, but Swift makes it tolerable.

Swift black

I tried Swift black and dark themes but couldn't get the notification text to be readable. So I tried AospUI black and dark themes and it's been great! It gets updated every week as well.

Maybe OT but do you use substratum with root or with andromeda? And what are the benefits of either method? Are all themes safe to use or is there anything to pay attention for? Thanks in advance

They have a fix for that now. Alternatively, you can set your wallpaper to be 'dark' in order to force Google's UI to go black, and you'll have no issues at all.

The native dark mode doesn't affect the entire UI the way Substratum does. It leaves notifications and Google apps blindingly white.

Right, the point is that you use the native dark mode in conjunction with SwiftBlack and it results in readable notifications.
