So I've upgraded to Android 10 and I'm sure not all Google apps that support the dark theme are working, or is it just me. For instance I thought the boot screen was now dark too? Mine is just the same as before. Google Chrome and Now are still? white also. Is the assistant meant to be white? I've got dark mode turned on, did the update OTA.

Did you enable system darkmode? Or global darkmode? System darkmode is just theming. Global darkmode sets the default.
Tried that, still the same!

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.

Not recently since I already paid for AospUI. They're both great and you couldn't go wrong with either.
Pitch Black theme, perfect!

My brother has it already and he didn't do anything, it just enabled on his app and there is no settings for it and I think this is account specific, like other features on Facebook not everyone will get the new thing all at once

His phone is Vivo V9, an update just released weeks ago to Android 9. Also, I don't think that Android version is one of the factors to get the dark mode. And I also forgot, his phone is in dark mode (system-wide) maybe that will be one of the factors to get the dark mode

you want to go 2 updates back,or maybe 3, and playstore should go dark, its been the last 2 or 3 updates that its vanished, don't forget toggle force dark mode. What google are playing at is beyond me, supposed to be adding dark theme to all there apps but remove the function from them.

Ah, ok, lets hope it is a new version then, my playstore is working again without it being rolled back or updated, so presumed it just an older version.
my playstore version is 16.7.21-all(0)(PR) 269660243

Must be a server side push. I have the same version and no dark.
Try turning phone off then on. Not reboot that is what I had done
Guess what it's gone again looks like I had it for a day
I have dark play store too since yesterday v16.8.19 and Gmail...only missing Google app and Assistant now, also wondering if Google docs and some other minor Google apps will receive dark mode

That's Google for you ??*
I had for a day or two dark mode on playstore but it want back to normal thing. Come and go all by it self
I've been wondering how to enable this. There is an option in the Google beta app, Android authority has said, but it is not there for me. Nor the Gmail dark, or the play store dark. But both display option is set to dark theme, and force dark mode on in developer settings. It is a mystery what Google is up to with this....
Edit: so I just powered off my phone, and restarted it. Still no dark play store, then I went back into apps and uninstalled all updates to the play store, and had to toggle the force override dark mode in Dev options because it switches off between boots, and I now have dark play store. But none of the other apps are dark, SMH.
Mine flipped on last night. It was definitely white in the morning, then I got a notification for an update at like 9, and there it was. It's amazing. Now if they would flip back on the dark assistant and Google app!
Just as title states, looking for Facebook and Instagram to be black, the recent updates are supposed to work with Android 10s dark mode and they aren't?
I have two Instagram apps installed just so I can have one black (an older one but I can't send screenshots anymore on. And Facebook is white...

I had to enable the "Nuanced Dark" theme in customization AND also also enable "Override force-dark" in the developer options. I am having problems with text not showing in the messenger app this way but so far that is my only issue I have came across.
Hope this helps

Thank you! That helped me find the app darQ which allows per app forcing, but it's not ready for black out yet sadly.. use this and it won't mess with messenger tho?
Hey!
I am using Hex but I am not able to have all of my applications on dark mode. Some of the applications not having dark mode are TikTok and Snapchat.
I remember couple of years ago I didn't have this problem. I used to theme all the applications well without any exception. The problem is, I don't know what application I used (could be Substratum but it didn't work when I tried).
What I am asking is whether there is some way to turn applications which don't have dark mode to dark mode? I have tried with Substratum, Hex installer and various themes. They don't turn all applications to dark mode.
Forcing dark mode doesn't have either.
I don't know whether the problem is device, system or application related.
I am using S20FE Snap One UI 4.1
Thank you for reading!

You mean the force dark mode setting in Developper options?
That's the best you can do. If that doesn't apply dark mode in your applications i'm afraid there's not much else you do except wait for official dark mode in those apps.

Forcing dark mode is turned on in Developer Options. It doesn't help.
If that didn't do the trick I guess the only solution is to wait. Snapchat added Dark Mode on iOS, i'm sure it's just a matter of time before they make it to Android as well.

I hope so. It's still very hard for me to belive that there's no application able to theme. It's a simple white to black inversion.
I'm not judging. I don't know how I would do that but I find it strange.
Dark mode has become increasingly popular in the last few years and it blows my mind that popular apps such as Snapchat or TikTok like you've mentionned still don't have it in their settings.

I agree. We will see.
I think I used Substratum back in past to theme applications which weren't compatible but not even that is available now.
You could try some modded apps with black themed skins. I remember this was the way back in 2015., before dark mode and substratum.
