[Q] How do you get dark apps on the S4 - General Questions and Answers

I have a galaxy s4 with verizon with root access with Safestrap custom recovery and with android 4.4.2. by default the galaxy s4 comes with all white backgrounds on all of the stock apps like they are all very light and bright and i cant stand it. such as messages, phone, contacts ect.. the galaxy s3 has a very dark UI which i love is there a way i can get all the dark stock apps (messages, phone, contacks) like the galaxy s3 has on my s4
i attached a photo of what my phone looks like (the White picture) and what i want my messages and phone to look like(the Dark picture)

Install a custom rom, or check out team black out for certain apps.

you will find many custom roms which have preinstalled black apps

[Q] Black and White Emojis

I have a Samsung Galaxy S Duos II device running on Jelly Bean which has black and white emojis. Is there anyway for me to make emojis appear in colorful way like on social medias or messaging? I have root access on my device.

[Q] Is there a way to make everything black instead of white?

I liked how everything was black and dark on previous android versions (settings, call, messaging, etc..) I don't like the whiteness in the lollipop ui as it may consume more battery life than dark ui.
Suggestions?

This should actually be possible through the Samsung theme store (look at the Space theme for example). Unfortunately I've yet to find a simple dark theme. The theme store is also a bit of a pain to navigate.
Ha! Just had a look at that theme, and one of the screenshots says "CONACTS" instead of "CONTACTS." Way to go, Samsung quality control!

Hey - I think I can help with this. User Gunthermic was kind enough to upload the Cogul Black theme, which was promised, but never arrived in the theme store. See no. 10 in the following for download and install instructions - http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...e-samsung-stock-s6-themes-collection-t3080847
My first thought was to turn the screen off :-/ don't get much blacker than that.
But I too miss the darkness of such things as CM KitKat u.u

[REQUEST] Lollipop dark theme for Galaxy S5

Can you make dark theme lollipop app on stock rom? Modify the apps like calculator, contacts, message, setting, etc
Because I want to upgrade to Lollipop, but I like dark theme because save battery for super amoled and comfort for my eyes.
Why did Samsung redesigned Lollipop Touch Wiz UI so ugly? Change the black to white theme?
I am still on Kitkat

Google's "Phone" app, INVERTED? (white on black)

I am a latecomer to Android 6, as KitKat has been the best for my outdated hardware, until now with the S7 (woohoo!) I've always needed to run custom ROMs because stock Android looks very boring to me. I am a big fan of everything "inverted" so that instead of black text on all white backgrounds. white text on all black backgrounds looks EXCELLET, especially on Samsung's AMOLEDs. Now with Android 6, I am quite pleased with how much I can customize the look, with function baked right in. VERY nice. (Also running Nova Launcher).
That said. I have looked through many of the themes available for Marshmallow, but one part of this OS that is driving me nuts is the ugly phone app--it's a very plain black on white. I've also tried different dialers, but those all launch the stock "phone" app when an actual call is in session, switching from a nice white on black dial-keypad (stock or third-party dialer) (btw, the "phone" app is on the play store, by Google Inc.)
So, does anybody know, first of all, what the deal is with the stock black on white phone app not following a theme's colors? is this a fault of the theme dev or Google's "phone" app?
Secondly, does anybody know if there is a fairly recent phone.apk version that has been modified to invert the colors?
Man! almost every other app I have is white on black, except this phone app!
If you are not sure what I'm talking about, try applying a dark theme and then start a call, and watch your phone app revert to the ugly black on white in-call screen.

That is a nice dialer, indeed, but the in-call phone app is NOT the same thing as a dialer. There are many dialers, but I am asking about the app that a dialer launches when a telephone call is running.
