I'm looking for an app or something that will give me a black theme, icons, most importantly when I open an app (like CNN, PlayStore, etc.) It will have a black background with white text.
I tried using the inversion setting but is then trows off my already black wallpaper to looking white and stuff. I have vision issue which is why I am looking for this.
I am running stock but am rooted. I was Running the carbon rom for this but got tired of installing nightlies for hammerhead. I'm just going to wait until they have a production version.
Thanks in advance,

Just curious, but is the reason for wanting black everything to try and conserve battery life? Because as far as I know that only works for AMOLED displays.

"I have vision issue"

Search black icons in the store, heres one recommendation https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.threekzerothree.softinsetroundicons.black
Use slimROM, a lot of people have this thing for black and holo blue and that is what slim uses, and you can enable darkslim or whatever. I think they have a milestone so you can load that and it will be stable. http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/rom-slimkat-hammerhead-t2511512
Go for Mahdi ROM and flash Slim GAPS with it.

Check out team black out. They have flashable zips for tons of apps even for Google now. That way you can keep stock Rom and the okay Google functionality and have blacked out apps. That's what I have, and it's awesome.
Can you link me to the black team?

You already have the Team Blacked Out link so here is a more obscure theming app. This app allows you to override the colors on most Web pages. It works with both browsers and apps that display html pages within the app itself (eg. Flipboard). I use it on both my Nexus 5&10. Read how it works and how to install here:
[HOW-TO] Blacked out theme effect for Web pages (needs root)
A theme able alternative to YouTube which has some additional features is called Viral. Find it on the play store. That app allows no end of UI Color theming.
You can also use the XPosed framework and two modules (Gravity Box and HKTheme Manager) to implement dark themes including Color finer tuning nav and status bars. Here is a dark theme on the playstore which works with HKTheme Manager.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/theme-black-blue-infinitum-theme-t2597690
Good luck
I like to thank everyone for their suggestions. Based on all the information everyone contributed to this thread I was able to customize my phone to work with the dark themes. Again this was requested because of some vision issues I have and despite one individual who decided to rant off without reading why I requested this, everyone else's suggestions help me set up my phone to work perfectly. Thank you all again.

Also, do I need to remove my Swype before flashing yours? I flashed yours and it did nothing. Will this theme be evolving? I'm wondering about icons under the settings menu and such.

There must be something in the data structure causing problems.

Agreed bout the green. Some places yes..everywhere yowsers.
Love the red and its mixed in with other colored icons/white clock so its not over saturated everywhere.
Only change I would make is when you pull down the notification bar the bottom "tab" you drag down isnt visible enough.Could be more of the lighter part of the gradient.
Either way great work.
Im considering theming several of my favorite apps after seeing Rodrgz mods on them to match this theme.
Big thumbs up.
Q: I love the customization available with the various ASOP roms, however really like the look and feel of the various sense roms too. I'm running Virtous Unity 2.37 and its great.
Without using an application such as ADW products, can I tweek the look to remove the app name from the display? I know what's what and just want to make it cleaner.
I'm not very technical and have searched but nothing seems to apply.

Use Any Cut (free in Market). Create shortcut to App from within Any Cut...although it won't let you leave the name blank, it will allow you to just input a space so it appears blank. See camera in top row of screenshot

desktop visualizer will do the same thing, but i think it will let you leave it completely empty
I use Desktop Visualizer. Notice the NFL icon. It is a custom icon that actually launches the NFL '11 app that I use. Also notice how I shortened the name of the stock messaging app.

Here you go.
This is the beginning of the black and purple version of my theme. It will the same as my black and blue only all the blue is replaced with purple.
I will be updating it quite often over the weekend as I get stuff switched to purple. Just flash zip in recovery. Brightness slider added in at bottom of post, just flash after the full theme if you want the slider.
R1- This is first release it has the systemui, toggles, and framework themed.
R2 - Added in the Contacs app, and the gallery app, and most of the dialer is done. I also fixed a few things I missed in the systemui.
R3 - Added in the mms app, and the rest of the dialer. Should all match my blue theme now only purple.

Hey guys, I am running Liquidsmooth v2.9 and am wanting to apply a red theme over this ROM that is exactly like the stock AOSP cyan blue theme that is applied to it by default. I'm not wanting to get all red fancy with other user apps having red icons such as Facebook or any other apps. As I said, I want it to have a full defaulted cyan blue look and feel, but just red. Is this theme out there?
The only icons I would care to see red as far as apps go would be the messages, browser, people (contacts), settings and phone icons... stock apps only. Even having small red long press numbers and symbols within the keyboard would be nice if there were such a keyboard out there.
I'm sure you all know AOSP ROMs have that cyan blue theming to it... I just want this exactly, but it to be red and not cyan.
If any of this is out there, I would GREATLY appreciate being pointed to it or if someone would volunteer to come up with one, that would be incredibly awesome. As far and themes on the android market, I haven't found any that fit to this.
Thank you all in advance.

Team Black out does some great stuff. This is just what I've found. In order to get the latest versions of their blacked out app you'll need to install the blacked out updater app. Its not on the play store anymore so you'll need to download the apk. Once installed, go to the Beta app section. There you'll find the latest versions of popular apps (at least now).

Yeah they do really good work as well. I just always had a hard time telling the difference between an unread/read message since it only bolds the letters (which are white). I also don't think I was too fond of their emoji's. But for OP, the more options, the better!
