Back in the day, I used to run CyanogenMod on all my devices and they always had the stock SMS/messenger application with an option to use a "dark" theme. Right now I'm rooted on stock 5.1 and I'm looking for the stock "Messenger" apk with... a dark theme.
Thanks!
This might be what youre looking for here

here it is. Scroll down, download link is in the first post. Works great here. However you have to use titanium backup or similar app to remove the messaging app (system app) before installing this one.
Use textra
8sms. If your used to the way cyamogenmod was, this is for you, pop up dialogs and all

PM me...I have exactly what you seek...a hard coded, dark themed CyanogenMod mms...it looks perfect, and runs on the latest 12.1 and 12.0 variants.

What I am looking for is the Google Messenger but just black backgrounds in conversations instead of white... but keeping the other colors unchanged.
I think I found what I'm looking for with Textra I guess.
This is stock messenger. TBO version
Installed OTA yesterday. Anyone else not able to change dialer keypad from the mental hospital white? I would prefer a dark dialer keypad, which was available in Sense 6. The only option under personalize is default (white). Initially the same was true with the keyboard, but after changing themes in the new theme settings, I got other options for the keyboard that were part of those themes. Still only default for dialer keypad, and no theme change would change it either, so regardless of theme chosen I still only get white.
I looked around the forums and saw that some had the same problem with sense 7 ROMs running on M8 and M9. There was a workaround by uninstalling the dialer app, and then updating it or simply reverting back to sense 6 dialer, but I've no option to do that under the app (just force stop, no uninstall).
Kind of at a dead end in figuring it out. Don't care for the bloat of 3rd party dialer/phone/messaging apps, but might have to try one. I'm not into rooting or mods on my main communication device, and so this phone has never been anything but stock (except for apps available in the store, naturally). I did have Apex launcher as my app launcher at the time of OTA, but that should not have thrown a wrench into the update (at least I don't think it should have). My next step is to factory reset to see if that resolves it...which I'm not eager to do.
Any thoughts?

Thanks for the reply. I tried that. None of the themes had any affect on the dialer keypad -- still just white --, even the ones that showed in the preview to do so. The keyboard was changeable with via applying themes.
Hmmmm, if it is a Sense 7 based Sense 6 ROM , it won't work, AFAIK the only official Sense 7 ROM is Stock Rooted, soon will also have Bad Boyz 4.0.
Try the stock rooted, then report back please!
I'm not running a ROM, I'm newly OTA updated with Marshmallow, so I'm stoock Sense 7. I guess I'm wondering if what I described (only white phone dialer keypad) is normal behavior for Sense 7. Like I said, I can't change the color of the phone dialer keypad from white, either in settings or themes. If this is correct behavior for stock sense 7, that's OK, and I'll explore other options by way of a phone app.
Again, thanks.
It doesn't seem like normal behavior, I'm on Stock rooted MM...that is literally just changing the theme for me.

Got it to work. Don't know what the problem is. Some themes that show a change to the dialer in the preview do change it when applied, some do not. Now to find a way to edit the theme and retain the change to the dialer.
Thanks for the help.
Same problem same solution. I've only got one theme that was actually able to change the dialer colour to black "darkside" but I hate everything else about it. Could you suggest any other
Hello,
I tried to find Dark/Black themes for Z3 Compact which could theme settings, calendar, contacts and a lot of other apps but without success.
I also tried some Xposed module for theming but all of them were not working
I would like something really close to the one made by @Rajeev (dark and blue) like here
Or something like eXistenZ from @niaboc79 like here
Sadly his rom is not working on our Z3 Compact
I am currently using Slimm 3.1 Rom from @Wajk
If someone could help me, i will be really greatful :laugh:

You should flash something about the Layers you can't directly use it AFAIK, also I don't know any other way than Layers on MM to edit the apps as you requested. Even with Layers, it is very risky, it might screw your system up, make sure to have a back-up! When it comes to eXistenZ, it is a highly customized ROM so don't compare it with stock
Substratum works for MM. I've mixed a few of the best free, cheap and quality themes I've tested. Theming quality varies and compatibility can be inconsistent. Takes some time to test. But I've done that so can share. I'll list in order of quality preference. That way you choose the priority theme's overlays when there are duplicates.
Material Glass is a free unique dark theme. Has transparency to wallpaper throughout and for pop ups. Can use all of them. Don't like it's XDA labs though. Also has two bugs if using it's Android System, volume slider hides foreground app and keyboard switcher reboots device.
Swift Black is a cheap quality pack still in active development and updating to substratum. Pretty much all of it's overlays are great except Chrome's window heading clashes. It's Systemui and Android System are standouts priority above Material Glass the latter only because of prior mentioned bugs.
InversionUI is a good free pack. Not as good as Swift Black but if preferring free can be a close replacement. For example it's play store ratings colour clashes white. Google calendar, catlog and news & weather are unique to it. Calendar status bar icons clash black, but using white icons and clock changing in gravitybox is a workaround.
Dark Material free from play store for it's unique facebook and instagram. Substratum itself only seems to black with this one.
These have YouTube which is just it's setting menu aparrently and eBay just it's notification. I think Android System overlays clash black text in Sony's messaging, I just swapped to using Google's Messenger instead.
They're actually the best combo. I tried some others but had no results or crashes. Haven't tested all as these fill everything already. Can't complain with the results!
edit: for posterity's sake using xposed mod Qs X tiles per row can help theme notifications colours. Also xposed mod LPThemer works on MM: under it's Status bar tab, enabling notification text colour can change notification button text colours.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! That is really helpful. I'd like to ask for more info, e.g. you meant those themes↓?
• Swift Black (Play Store says Z3C is not compatible )
• InversionUI
• Dark Material (Play Store says Z3C is not compatible )
Have you tried AospUI Black od AospUI Dark?

This information is a little old so some things don't function anymore. Development for Substratum has moved onto OMS and older legacy support is discontinued. Some app updates have broken overlays too. I'm using two Z3C's, one on LineageOMS 14.1 which uses a new different mixed combination of packs including the old legacy Material Glass. The old MM stock I've just stopped using an overlay when it breaks.
Yes that's Swift Black, they stopped updating legacy awhile ago. Maybe if you can purchase I can provide the original last updated v8.7 APK to use. Yes, that's InversionUI, but I don't use any of it anymore. Dark Material has the package name com.chummy.darkmaterial_layers, I don't use it anymore. I haven't tried that, I just use my old stock MM as a backup so not changing things there unless needed. I just keep my LineageOMS 14.1 updated currently.
If might help so this is how my old remaining MM is set up:
Material Glass v3.2 old 3.2 for how the theme accent is preferred white still before it was changed to grey
- Android System (Use GravityBox to set media tweaks, volume panel timeout to 1 second to help with the overlay bug. Can use Tasker with Secure settings plugin to create a Keyboard switcher to get around the crashing default selector)
Material Glass v3.4 beta One of the last betas from the github
- Tags, Trusted Face, Phone Call Management, Google Play Store, GravityBox, eBay, Translate, Google, GBoard, Package Installer, Kernel Adiutor, Instagram (old version)
Material Glass v3.4 I think these were just apps I installed later so I used the latest and last release
- Messages, Android System WebView
Swift Black
Calendar, Google Text-to-speech, Hangouts, Keep, MX Player, Media Storage, Messenger Lite, News & Weather, Phone Services, Skype, VLC, Viber
I kept a note of when an overlay stopped working in case I needed to reinstall after a clean ROM. I had DocumentsUI and Gmail removed from Material Glass. I had Docs, Drive, Google Play Store, Phone Call Management, Translate and eBay removed from Swift Black. Of course I haven't tested everything and theres apps I don't have too, but that's what works for me and can be used as a guide.

Sorry, I haven't had Z3c for over 5 years... I don't think those files exist anymore. You can use Apktool right on the phone to mod your system apps. That's mainly how I did everything.
One of my favorite phones, though. If Sony did more updates, I might still have it.

For those who have not headed over to the overlay post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/themes/substratum-inversion-ui-overlay-overlays-t3604341
There are some cool things going on with themes and overlays. Some non-rooted methods are allowing us to change system icons, colors etc. Not eveything has been found yet so please be patient..
Here are a few of my additions. I do not take credit for making any of these other than changing the colors. A lot of these have been made by people in the original post and if you like their work please post up a thanks or donate to them.
When installing, pay attention to the package name if you wish to uninstall. Uninstall via app manager.

Can I ask what Samsung theme your using?
red neon in samsung store
Here is a lil easier to read notifications, make them red..
Also make sure to re apply these apks after any theme application or updates.
ars0n i LOVE the red work you've done and REALLY wanna put it on my phone...but the files you've posted...ive installed and tried to use before and once rebooted..the only thing that would show up is the tab to access the edge screen and i wasnt even able to use that..my point in this ramble...is there something im doing wrong? do you need to be on the stock (Out of the box theme) in order to use these?
try the red neon theme, you should be able to download 1 0 min trial.
Can I ask if you have any other kind of theme or oer lays installed? Navbar or status bar mods/apks?
I am on stock verizon rom that came with phone. And on the newest update and the overlays still work (had to reinstall).
I'm on stock Verizon ROM. And no other mods installed. Was just hoping to get this to work without having to factory data reset again if it doesn't...
Do one at a time for me if you can and let me know.. I am using the verizon framework for the s8+ but I am also on the newest update, so not sure if that matters or not.
I only use the newest syustemui RED ON RED with the blackred in call UI, just 2 apks plus the neon red theme. Install the theme first, then do the apks and reboot and let me know!
Ok. I am on the latest update as well. I think where I went wrong easier installed all the files you posted and also didn't have the theme installed
Is the theme which made your status bar icons red or was it one if the overlays?
the system icons and red nav apk should do it. The battery is also red now.

Hi, so I updated my Note8 to Oreo today, installed Andromeda, followed the instructions for Swift Black, and I get them to install, but if I reboot the phone, the theme does not stick. I then have to go in, remove the themes, reboot, and do it again.
Am I missing something or doing something wrong?
And the theme doesn't apply right. Same issue for me.
I made a mistake updating to Oreo, preferred Substratum more when I was on Nougat.

I've been on Oreo for a while and unfortunately this is an issue that's been persisting for months. I gave up on
Substratum because as said before you will absolutely need to enable Andromeda EVERY time you reboot your phone and need to run Substratum. That's if the overlays even stuck in the first place. I've been using ThemeGalaxy and IMO its better than Substratum. The changes stick and you can make them custom to how you want it and the theme is applied fro,m the Theme store on the device so it doesn't matter how many times you reboot. Give it a try, i hope it helps i know just how frustrating using Substratum can be.

Well it does apply and work well, until I reboot the phone. If I understand correctly, you have to activate Andromeda every time you reboot, but Substratum will not reapply the theme after that and I have to remove the theme, reboot, apply the theme, reboot, enable the theme. PITA is you ask me.

I was having the same issue. I was loving substratum on nougat now on Oreo they never stick. My nav buttons constantly go back to the stock Samsung ones and under substratum it tells me the nav bar theme is active and installed. I have to manually connect it to a computer just to uninstall and then reinstall every single time. I'm just gonna stick to Samsung theme store

That was my experience--basically, the themes would not stick on reboot even though I was not updating apps or re-applying themes. The System UI themes would stick, but not the apps. They all went back to default. I tried this numerous times and it didn't work...
Until this morning. The only change I did was I made sure that, to begin with, I was using the default Samsung theme from their theme store. Once I did that, it started working better. So basically...
Uninstall all overlays, reboot;
Make sure you are using Samsung default theme.
I deleted other themes I downloaded (Material_Black in my case);
Reboot;
Select overlays and choose "Install and Enable". Reboot.
Select overlays and choose "Enable selected". After a couple of secs the Substratum app updates its own theme.
Reboot.
In the past, after the last step, the app themes go back to default. Today, I rebooted 3-4 times and everything stick. I'm not really sure whether it was the Samsung default theme thing or just pure lucky configuration at the time. I just thought I'd share.
Going forward, my pain is when I update apps, I have to connect my PC and re-apply overlays. This is not so bad for me because:
I update apps manually weekly
The new Substratum experience does not require me to acknowledge install and uninstall of each overlay--It's automatic which I prefer.
I'll check out ThemeGalaxy though. That looks interesting.

Huh, that's what I'm using too. Android System will theme, but System UI, System UI QS Tile Icons, and System UI Status Bar Icons will not theme, they stay orange in Substratum and never enable.
There's a Telegram channel for Swift Themes. I can't link to it because I am new here. You can find it at the bottom of the Googl Play store link for Swift Black.
They have links to alpha/beta builds of Substratum. I followed the directions on their and am now running a working copy of Swift Black on my Note 8. Took me hours to figure this out hope it helps someone.
