Android 10 dark theme apps

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!

It is server side. It's a waiting game for them to push it to you. Some have it already and the rest of us wait.

There's a setting in developer options to override and enable dark mode system wide. That setting enabled dark mode in all apps for me. It's called override force dark. Try it out. Some apps don't play nice with it but most do.

You have to be on the new stable version of Android 10, and have developer settings enabled. Within developer settings near the bottom of the list you should see overide dark mode.

If you use Textra, turning this setting on will screw up your chosen colors...so off it goes.

Oh well. I've had Android 10 (official / stable) on my Pixel 2 XL for a while now, Already have Dark Theme turned on in Settings / Display. Override Force-Dark in Settings / Developer Options turned on. Rebooted (several times). Still no dice with Gmail (and I'm also on the latest APK - 2019.09.01.268168002). I don't even see the Dark theme in Gmail settings - evidence of it at all in Gmail so far.
Sure seems like I'm still waiting for server-side update lottery to pick my number.

Force Dark Mode does not always give me nice results.
For example Facebook replies are in a white box with light gray text "you can not read the facebook replies"
Turned Force Dark mode off.

I love this! Thanks so much. I don't understand why the default wasn't and isn't dark. It's so much nicer on the eyes and save battery life too.

If you are rooted and have the latest gmail installed and you are rooted then try the following.
Go to data/data/com.google.android.gm/shared_prefs/Flagprefs.xml and change the line that says name="DarkThemeSupport_dark_theme_support" value="false" to "true" and save it.
So it should now read name="DarkThemeSupport_dark_theme_support" value="true"
Force kill gmail and you should have the option in your gmail general settings then.

OnePlus 7 pro Android 10 rooted with dark mode on but Facebook and Instagram aren't

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?

Where is the dark theme for contacts?

I have dark theme enabled. However, my contacts have a bright white background. Before looking for another contact manager, is there a setting I am missing?

Thanks. I have GrapheneOS and assumed the dialer and settings were the same. I see now that they are not. I have moved over to the Simple Tools Dialer where the default theme is dark.

Off topic, so using an aosip rom, I assume stock camera app does not work. If so, what camera do you use.

Problems with dark mode.

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.
