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?
Bump
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

Hey guys
I totally love most of the new 4.4, except in some locations you have white for certain text, lines, etc, and then for others you have the light blue.
While I love the light blue, I'm more of a black and white guy myself, this includes screens like the update screen for the ROM, where it says your software is currently up to date, the dialer, etc.
Is there someone out there that would mind just removing all the blue and making it white? I don't mean inverting SMS or Google Plus or anything, just remove the annoying blue borders, text and numbers (dialer).
It just doesn't flow together
I've looked around, found a few pretty awesome themes, especially Black Infinitum X, but there's still some inconsistencies.
Thanks!

You're not going to have the ability to remove all the blue within the stock ROM, what I would suggest is try this new xposed module http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2602257
Use can use any cm11 theme with it unlike xthemengine. I found betterkat theme is actually better the infitinium .

Why not?
Also, not all CM11 themes work, Onyx Glow doesn't.
Lastly, Betterkat doesn't help me at all. They are all colored themes. The Blacked Out version of Blackout's Theme clashes with certain settings far worse than Infinitum does.
Unless there is a Betterkat that is White themed I'm not seeing...

Well the only way you can remove all the blue is with cm11 and or gummy ROM, actually running gummy now with betterkat blacked out and everything is back with white lettering, you can also try xblast module as I believe you can change colors but again I don't now how far and specifically what it changes. That's the limitations to thus point with all the themeing modules, it changes some backgrounds but not all and or you will have white backgrounds with grey letters, black background with black text, I tried almost every way of changing colors as I like inverted colors, replacing apps ,gravity box, xblast, xthemengine and the module above. I gave up and flashed cm11 and bam, now gummy , its even better

Sorry teamblackout here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980461
The colored ones are betterkat and the inverted is blackout, which you already know about, it inverts some things on the stock ROM but contacts you can't read and I think the dialer is as messed up

Alright, well thanks anyway flash. I don't want to use another ROM because I don't want to lose Touchless Controls and Notifications.

Hi, just update my 1+1 to Lollipop age today.
Everything works good but looks weird!
Look, can someone tell me why my icons have this bright color frames on it?
Looks like rainbow on drugs on phone...
Any helps? I´m using Apex launcher but in default launcher looks same..
Menu look
Screen look
I suppose you're taking about CM12S, that's hexo theme icons that come by default, you can change theme in settings, themes, select the one on the right that is system, click on it once and two buttons will appear, press on the green one that says apply, there you go! Hope I helped.

The icons are built in within the theme. Change the theme and your icons also should be changed.
There are loads of themes for CM12 and you can chose which suits your taste.
Thank you, I changed theme to normal Android and now looks normal
Hey everybody!
I am looking for a theme at the Samsung theme store and so far I haven't come across anything that fits my criteria.
Well, I just want a dark theme (dark grey, not pure black), Material-like or close to the Touchwiz theme, without any custom icons.
A lot of the available themes have custom icons that theme a few stock apps making them stand out among the dozen of custom apps I have, in a bad way.
So, any suggestions are welcome. I am starting to believe such theme doesn't even exist, but here's to hoping someone has better search skills than mine!

Unfortunately, it says "not available yet". From the comments I gather it is not compatible with Marshmallow.
hi,
i'm working on dark side of mm with nearly stock icon just squared more.
All with pure black background, blue and white text...with some blue buttons.
Anyway if u have root, you can easily keep stock icons, and whatever apk you think.
Contact me, i will tell you how
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.

Hello
When I purchased my Pixel 2 I used to have a true black theme when using dark wallpapers.
Since upgrading to 8.1 the dark theme is smoked black (a bit translucent). (E.g. I'm now in Tapatalk writing this I pull down the quick settings and I can see this text behind it).
Is this something that really changed in 8.1 or I have a bug or something?
I can't remember if the settings app was black before...but at the moment is light. Same thing with the Google Feed cards, dark wallpaper but white cards.
Sent from my Pixel 2
Not a bug, this is something Google changed in 8.1 - solid black changed to a rather meh slightly transparent black.
You can use Substratum to change it back to a solid black if you want (though a lot of black themes seem to have irritating glitches with at least some notifications, so some trial and error may be needed).
The settings app was always white. You do need to use a 3rd party tool to change that.
I don't use Google Feed, so can't answer that last one.
Thanks. This week I've tried modifying this using the Andromeda and substratum etc. But I didn't liked it because the notifications were also changing the colour etc. But mainly because of the customisation, I'll prefer to keep things as stock as possible.
Anyway thanks for confirming this was an actual change in 8.1!
