Creating a white theme is a massive task as you need to invert all the dark apps, and that is a lot.
On any given ROM the majority are using a dark theme. You only have to look at the work @steveboss has done inverting the white apps and the time he has spent doing so.
If your bootloader is unlocked try MIUI, they like it nice and white.
One other thing, if you use a white theme, be prepared for your battery to get the s&*t kicked out of it.

Is that so? LT25 has an LCD screen, not OLED.

thats not really true, what dully posted there, also with a light theme you can use your phone with a lower screenbrightness than with a dark theme, thats my observations.
so no, not more battery drain with light theme...im using light themed rom since many weeks

Yep. Especially outdoors a screen using a bright design remains better readable with lower brightness settings. The screen is by far the biggest user of battery power. With power considerations in mind a white screen is the best, except for OLED screens.

The brighter the screen, the more power required to produce the brilliant whites which means the more power consumed.
I can testify to this after using a dark theme i switched to a light theme to improve sunlight legibility and my battery suffered so i switched back.
Either way i don't care, it's your phone, your battery, do what you want with it.:good:

I think the LCD backlight is always on, regardless black or white, and the LCD blocks the light for black pixels.

... and therefore the black screen even uses a few electrons more electricity. Unless it is an OLED.
And that's what immerblind wanted to say. I add we can reduce the brightness level by using a white theme. Just go outside and read a black screen with white font, and then switch to a black font screen. 10 - 20 % lower display brightness is possible, much better than any battery app with there best feature being the marketing.
And Tide washes even whiter than white!

[MIUI] MINIMAL-ICS V2(that saves some battery)

The Battery life has always been the hot topic on every rom, mod and other subjects. The more colors that show on the screen does in fact use more battery than a minimal colored screen...
So I decided to make a clean version of ICS. I see a difference in my battery life since I made this theme. Try it out.
Here are some screen shots

Excellent theme dude, exactly what i was looking for, the gray backgrounds in ICS irked me, also made it difficult to read in sunlight.
This is perfect! Simple theme and still elegant b'coz of the blacks.
Thank you very much!
No, Prob...
I was actually trying something out... since samsung started making dark menus and and other things in the newer phones, it got me thinking. I wonder if it would save some battery life if not a lot of screen was lit. I've been testing this for a couple days... seems to give me about an extra hour or 2.
Only thing I would change is the color of the wifi, bluetooth, signal, etc. with the notification bar pulled down. It always bugs me that when the notification bar isnt open they are blue or what ever color, but then when you open it they all go white.
Other than that looks like fun. Ill be installing this tomorrow.
Nice work annex.
Nice theme.Thanks for sharing
Very nice indeed.
Luh this, thanks!
what application do you need to have this theme working?

Thats weird.... Remove the theme and redownload it... I left it open, so that people can edit the theme before coverting it to the new theme format. Cuz once thats done.. it locks it.
Nice one...

I thought it saved battery only in LED type screens because black is not illuminated unlike those of LCD.

It uses less baterry than normal, even on LCD screens. Uses more than the AMOLED ones, but less than white backgrounds.

Very nice theme. There are still a few light themed items - the buttons in Gmail and the bottom bar in the Messaging list screen - but it's not a lot. I think some of the menus can use separators but that's my opinion. Overall very nice, I'm using it now.

if put extra protector on pre-installed one from sony that might be because of that.
if not i should say i didn see anything like this on any phones! (my experience)
and cause it has high density of pixel i must not have any effect or react on straight sun-light !!!
can u send pic ?

However u must not have any effect and reflect and ... on screen with high density of pixel.
It is completely normal, it's part of the touchscreen digitizer. It's visible on almost all phones under strong light. I could see it on my S, Arc (S) and Neo too.

screen comparison between 128gb and 64gb, not the same?

I recently got my 128gb, and returning the 64gb tomorrow, did some comparison on the screen, 128 on the left side.

Light bleeding on the camera at low light condition
Brighter on the 128gb(letft). Stripes are from the camera(glare)
Different display modes?
Takes a few hundred hours for the pixels to settle. In a month they both would probably look similar.

This. Make sure your display mode is set to the same setting on both devices.
Light bleed does suck though. I had that on pretty much every HTC device I've owned.

While this may sound crazy! This is normal (that there not exactly the same). While you might be able to keep comparing different S6 until you find a pair that "matches", or have the same screen brightness any random pick won't be the same...there are many factors and as simple as different build dates etc...
On the S6 now and have had every galaxy since the first one and several HTC's before. I always by in pairs (keep the wife upgraded) and have noticed this every single time and not just with the Samsung's. Just how it is.

Alright, thanks
This is 'normal'. I am on my 3rd S6 because the first two had that ugly pink tint to it. My 3rd phone not only has no pink tint, but also a really crisp white display. Compared to the previous phones, they were much more yellow.

I'm on my 3rd as well, no pink but it does have some green at the bottom sadly. It's not too noticeable, and I don't think I want to go through the hassle of getting a 4th replacement. There's a whole thread on it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/getting-replacement-s6-due-to-screen-t3074865
All the AMOLED displays for the S6 are going to have slightly different factory calibration on all profiles. So no two S6 displays are going to be the exact same.
There is no such thing as light bleed on AMOLED screens.

Exactly. Basic knowledge
AMOLED does not have a backlight, it lights up each individual pixel which is why you can have inky blacks, because it simply turns off those pixels, unlike LED screens that use a black image with a light behind it giving off a grayish background.

light sensor is different in the camera (more sensitive or uneven)
I noticed a change in my screen after installing a tmobile update. Originally there was a completely black screen on the lockscreen, but after the update it almost appeared that there was a sort of gradient almost representing a light bleed.

Uneven brightness/washout on display

I'm not really sure what to call this, because I've never seen it on an OLED screen before.
I have the T813 WiFi model.
Recently, I've noticed, when using sites or apps with a dark background (like XDA Labs), that my display's brightness is noticeably uneven. Holding it in landscape mode, with the home button on the right, the screen looks something like this:
Bottom left corner: normal, full dark colors
Top left and bottom right: coloring is alright, but not as good as the bottom left
Middle (vertically): noticeably brighter, sort of a strip of washed out color
Top right corner: the worst area, looks like the pixels were burned
Excluding the strip in the middle, this is a pretty even radial gradient from the bottom left.
I can't really take a picture of this, because it just won't show up. I just have to do my best to describe it. It's almost like the backlight is messed up, except that OLED doesn't use a backlight. The pixels toward the top right are just a lot brighter than the ones on the bottom left, so they look whiter or washed out. It's somewhat strange. I've seen a few burn tests of SAMOLED screens (so Samsung) and noticed they turn white when heated and tend not to restore. I do put this in a computer bag, but I don't know what could be in here that would cause enough heat near one corner to do this (the CPU is top left, which is alright in color).
Has anyone seen this before? Should I get a warranty replacement? Do I need to describe it better?
if it bother you that much, just do warranty replacement.
my friend did it for his T715, the new unit look slightly better
but of course still no 100% uniformity.
Here's how mine somewhat looks (intentionally raised brightness to better show the effect. My power button also seems to stick a bit sometimes.

Yeah. After further testing there's definitely something I don't like.
Using the Display Tester app in the Play Store, I set the 4-gradient test to use the same dark grey color across the screen (1A 18 1A). Results weren't pretty......

Hmm. I'm kind of glad to see it's probably not a defect, but also kind of annoyed that it's normal. It'd be great if someone else could say if they have the problem too.
I have something like this to. Its annoying but only really visible with greys. Its relatively common with AMOLED screens, my S6 edge+ has it as well, but only very faintly.

Status bar,battery signal strength etc

Are there any options available to shift the status bar postition periodically? I'm asking because I remember my Note 4 had some image retention where the battery, clock, signal strength was depicted.
I'm thinking the black wallpaper background didn't help my case either and probably increased "screen burn in" likely hood.
I read about immersive mode already.

I use nova launcher, it has the option to toggle the statusbar with gestures, in that way you can toggle it off and on, as you desire

So dark themes are bad? I've always used dark themes on my phones. I don't like lighter themes, but might have to reconsider, I guess.
My wife's Note 4 had terrible burn in around the status bar, so I know exactly what you're saying, but she didn't use any theme and had a bright picture as her background.

I read from another learned poster on here about image retention and it's worst if you for example have a pitch black background and pure white status icons similar to what I'm currently running on mine. Apparently that's why since Android version 7 I think, the top of the status bar is colored.
Gonna try and find the link.

I didn't go with a completely black theme this time. I'm using the Manner II Samsung theme from the Samsung Theme store. It has a lot of black/dark gray and purple. It's a nice theme. Bright themes annoy me because they show every flaw in screen uniformity and I see them all.
Doesn't AOD do exactly what you're asking with the areas that it displays? It would make perfect sense for them to also do it for the status bar area and any areas that display frequently.
Burn in is the downside of this technology, especially for people who use their phones a lot. Given how most of the flagship products use OLED, you'd think that someone would have come up with a solution for it by now.

It's primarily this area that concerns me, as when it's always black with status indicators all white.
I too dislike white , Thanks for the advise.
