Dark themes - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Any suggestions on a dark theme ?

I installed the "Black Edition" theme from Samsung theme store and then I added the default icons back from the theme store to give it that stock Samsung feeling

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.

Thank you very much! If you can create a real rom with a whole white graphics! Superb!
I can't help You because I already said no to other users that asked me and because these kind of themes requires lot of time, and at the moment I don't have
... because all white icons in framework-res, settings, systemui etc etc.. should be inverted to a dark grey... :silly:
but You can wait for that Rom that will have a White default theme... it's a aokp base

[REQ] [L] Material "Dark" App Drawer / Launcher?

Hi All, tried searching first, but found nothing. Has anyone made a Material "Dark" themed App Drawer/Launcher?
I love everything about 5.0 Lollipop but the white background for the app drawer is a bit stark to say the least. It was really pronounced last night in the dark.
The Google Keyboard has a Material "Dark" skin which works great and is a bit easier on the eyes ... would love to have this applied to the App Drawer also.
I would like to see this as well. I don't care much for the white.
i was just searching for one and stumbled on your thread
doesnt seem to exist yet
Take a look at Patrick Loth's g+, something is coming...
Waiting for it
oh this will be nice when it arrives
Maybe he will change more than just settings

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!

Minu Space Grey.
But this does change the icons. I am using cobalt icon pack so I don't know which icon pack you can use to make them look stock.

It's a shame Samsung removed the ability to change the colour of the SMS speech bubbles. There's quite a few fairly good grey ones let down by having hard to read SMS!

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.
