Dark themes

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.

BlacknotifactionsOnly Apk??

Hi,
I tried some of the theme/mods on this forum but most of them will change the system colour etc..
Just wondering if there's any way to change the notification menu only?
Thank you.

I have 3 aqpk's, two are black and blue and one is black an red - notifications. I'm using one of them with Swift Dark and they don't interfere with the Substratum Theme.

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.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...y-overlays-t3604341/post73336824#post73336824
*- 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.

Substratum List

Figured we could get this going, seeing as only the fingerprint substratum theme is listed here.
What themes are you using with the OP7P successfully?
Also, are there any that change some system UI elements, like center clock for example?

Pitch Black. Works perfectly for me except for Clock and Messages (blacked out but no accent colour seems to load).

I had tried VaLeRie which usually works with OOS but it just seemed to keep restarting the systemui, will wait to see if the dev confirms updated for OP7Pro, more difficult now that G+ got the Thanos snap.
RENOVATE ICE will let you move the clock as well as other modifications.

You all should check out Swift Installer on the Play Store. It's a Substratum theme, but with a lot more options.

Substratum has been like that with Pie for a while, restart and go back in and the list of themed apps will probably be in there, make sure you've allowed Substratum the permissions to install apps.

Settings>Apps & notifications>Special app access then look for Substratum in all those sections and make sure it has them, "Install unknown apps" in particular.

This. Best money I ever spent.

I use a combination of themes
Belo for everything except system ui and settings as it's not officially compatible with OOS
Flux white to fill in the gaps Belo left
And a couple of overlays from Outline

Flux, Flux White, Swift Dark, and Swift Black. All work nice.

I don't think it uses other themes, it makes it's own depending on the options you choose, there's a couple of Substratum apps that do the same.

I don't know what the high contrast theme need to be installed for. I've been through three or four themes that do not work for oneUI 2.0 & android 10.

That's the advice from people with much more experience than I do. If you don't want to, that's your choice.

The white background is only until you reboot like it tells you to. You also need the system dark theme applied. There's a shortcut in the synergy menu. You also should enable the ace theme option as that seems to be working best so far.
Sent from my SM-G975U1 using XDA Labs

After it installs the theme files apply the "synergy ace theme", then apply "High Contrast Theme", followed by rebooting. After that it should be installed and working.

Like i said, no themes work. followed what was said. This is what i get.

I give up it just doesn't work. refunded again not going to mess with it. sad thing is I think I paid for synergy and can't use anything.

You are obviously doing something wrong. I'm using liv dark everything is working correctly
I also have all compatible themes, i use different overlays from other themes for certain apps that liv dark does not have.

Did you select your Android version and did you apply common framework correctly everything is correctly themed even Netflix, Spotify, YouTube Vanced.
You need read and closely follow these instructions.
Enable Ace Mode, let the download of high contrast BUT DO NOT APPLY THE THEME.
1 Select desired overlays (some overlays have multiple options which you will have to go into substratum lite and.select the extra option)
2 Once all desired overlays are chose press build in synergy.
3 apply default Samsung theme.
4 apply Synergy Ace theme (10min trial)
5 apply synergy theme
6 reboot
And your theme is done

It's working albeit you have to close all apps to apply the ace theme because it has a bug it works after a few attempts.
You are obviously missing a step because it works well.

The op never specified substratum themes. Just themes in general. Yes, the ones mentioned in op are substratum themes, but the thread title is asking what themes work in general. So hex, substratum, themegalaxy, etc are technically relevant.

Assuming you mean this (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brit.swiftblack.layers), it won't work. It was last updated in Feb 22, and it does not mention support for any version of Android greater than 10.
