Hi!
I'm looking for a default (stock) theme for my s6 (I actually love the default icons), but with darker colours, i.e. not the white/orange combination for the dialer/settings etc., but something a bit more Amoled friendly. Can anyone help?
I use Zero Dark.
The most amoled friendly which I found is Octane X. However, it has Aosp icons.
Update: Octane X doesn't has default icons, don't know why I thought it's Aosp
I gave Zero Dark a try (it was my first choice), couldn't live with the icons...
I'm going to try Sooty - icons look very close to stock, but I have my doubts about the colour scheme...
if u have root u can enter /data/app and delete {author name}.theme.{theme name}.appicon-1
Unfortunately I don't... Brand new phone, I don't want to lose my warranty... It's actually my first ever unrooted phone, and the experience is quite painful.
Would it be possible to write an app to do just that or would it need root access as well?

Try the Rotox theme or material dark/black
Checked out both of them. Same problem - icons are horrid...

Many of the default Android menus are white text on a black background. Not only do I find these visually unappealing, they are actually counter productive given how poorly dark themes read in sunlight.
Can these be changed to black text on a white background (or light background) instead? Does anyone have a theme they can share to accomplish this? Thank you.
OK, I guess this is not possible. It's a shame because I find Android's list based menus awfully plain and unaesthetic. White text on a black background with little visual art...it really looks like a plain vanilla terminal of yesteryear. While I love Android's openness, customization, and tweaker-friendly platform, it really needs a major overhaul in terms of looks and user friendliness. In short, the GUI needs some polish and consistency.
It would appear that Android has built-in "themes" for apps to use. If none is specified, then the dark or black theme is used. I wonder if there is a way to force apps to use the "light" theme even if specified otherwise. Perhaps a custom ROM could be created to always use the light theme.

i know this thread is old enogh, but i'm searching for a answer to this question too.
Same here, I´m looking for a solution to this problem
For me is near impossible to read white letters on black background, and i have a new ZTE Blade that can´t use because this
If someone have a solution, please !!!
Thanks!
Recently this has been bugging me as well. I wish there was a very simple way to perhaps tweak the framework and systemui so that black on white can become a reality...
This is totally feasible. You would have to do a bunch of XML edits in your framework-res.apk and declare everything correctly.

Changing the theme style in styles.xml should work I guess... if I have little to do I can take a look

Okay, I've done it, just gotta see if I've caused any bugs and write a how to
Edit: Bah, it's hard, the whole system and lots of apps are based on how it is now, changing it causes lots of trouble. Don't know if I'll make it :/
Btw, I did it in my cm7 theme. You can see it in my signature

AWESOME. There are some issues though, such as black text on dark backgrounds in the music app, which I'm guessing would take more than some xml editing to fix. But other than that it's GREAT!

I don't see that theme anymore in your signature. Would it be possible for you to share it? I'm still in search of a way to get Android to be a bit lighter (outside of going with MIUI), which I find far more visually appealing.
I'm so excited by all the great developer work to get us cm ROMs and wanted to try to contribute the best i can : ) (which isn't much)
Using the new CM ROMs I tried a metamorph by Cloverdale and loved it but thought, "Wouldn't it be cool to have android themed in both the newer Radiance and Ambiance?!"
Well I think so......so
These are a couple screenshots of the little work I've done so far(work not even worthy of being called work being as most of what's done could even be called copying).
The reason theres only two screenies is simply because the theme is FAR from done and in most use doesn't look very uniform. I'm VERY new to this and hardly even understand what I'm doing, or how I'm doing it lol
In fact the only reason I'm even posting this is because I'm self indulgent and want to see if anyone else likes this idea : )
Serious Props go to the developers that made cm available to us eris users (forgive me for not listing you all, just pm me if you want your name here ) Cloverdale for giving me the idea and to Stericson for giving me the tools to make it happen
I like light themes better so I'm staring with radiance but if i find out I don't suck, and can finish something like this, and people want it. I reckon ill try ambiance next. But first things first.
Edit:
Oh and if anyone has any advice they think may help me please privilege me with the information.
Use
sory for the double post but (reserved for later use) ambiance will be organized in the second post if/when i make it.
so far so good imo
i dig the simplicity of what youve done thus far.
Is this still being worked on? Not many themes with white status bars. Getting tired of the regular elixir by Cloverdale, I'll definitely flash this if you ever finish it.
I like it so far, too. I've been dying to MM some new themes to my phone and I think this would be great once finished!
Would love the Ambiance theme.
I notice that the volume icon is red, I would probably prefer the stock Ubuntu style which is to just keep it the same colour even when muted (at least on Ambiance). The battery too (although I think it does turn red like that when low, just isn't green when full).
Also the purple wallpaper but thats easy to add and the carrier name too that in the new CMs the text colour can be customized.
that looks great. very smooth and simple.
I love it! So simple and smooth. Can't wait till it's finished!
update
I'm glad to see theres some interest, I've progressed a little but been a bit busy lately.
The biggest things slowing me down is not knowing what all the pngs do, I've been changing them one at a time to bright purple then playing a short game of "Wheres Waldo" , and Ive no clue how to change text colors other than what spare parts will do. I've done a little googling ect but cant seem to find much on it - well...that i can understand - if anyone knows anything or of someplace that could help a newbie, I could use the help : )
Especially on the changing text and bg colors of like sms app, and dialer, in call screen, settings really everything, I want to make sure everything is uniform throughout.
Anyway mostly just making sure yall knew I'm still working on it, I hope to let out a half done version for everyone to play with soon.

Yea I can change the silent icon to black if everyone likes it better and the battery is black other than when its low. and i think I'm gonna try to resize all the Ubuntu wallpapers add them to the default android ones.
your changing the colors to purple? :-(
I would love a clean green and black theme for the messaging app on MIUI that looks like the windows mobile 7 messaging along with a flat black stock keyboard buuuuut I have been able to find none of those anywhere. Is anyone feeling gracious enough to make one? I know its a lot to ask but at least you get the warm fuzzy feeling that comes with doing a good deed.
Nothing? Nobody is feeling the Christmas spirit?

Btw, all I need are the icons for the sms app. I know how to replace the files and even make the icons, I just don't have the means to do so.
SMS Theme
HEY!!! dont know if you have ever tried it...but why not just use handcent!! as your default sms and change the colors for that there. as for your keyboard...yeah idk.
I too would suggest Handcent if you haven't yet tried it...it has many customizable options as well as a clean interface.
I have tried it. I liked how you could change the colors but I'm meant change the buttons and the whole message bubble, not just colors.

Considering how popular PowerAMP is and how long people have went without customization for that program, I find it really strange that a version that supports custom widgets (and anything else that uses the PowerAMP API) has been out for weeks, but I have not seen any custom widgets.
Did I miss anything?
Good question. I've been wondering the same thing and I've searched every other day, no such luck.
Seems like a very popular app, surely some capable people greatly dislike the blue glow or gradients as much as I do... yet cannot deny the efficacy of the app itself!

I'm guessing because it just came out and maybe he hasn't released anything to any developers to help with making skins. You can already download the skins widget for it to get transparent.
Bumping this for more replies.
I tried to edit the apk for personal skinning a while back and for some reason could never get the recompiled apk to install. Every time I tried I would get something like "Package not properly signed". Use several different compiling and signing tools always with the same result. So I abandoned that idea and like you, waited for someone to do it for me.
Well, I was able to quickly modify the PowerAmp Widget Skin pack a little bit. I'm not experienced "theming" much of anything so I wasn't sure how to modify the font color.
I modified the background image of the widgets (4x1 and 4x2) to a half transparent black. I also changed the colors of the buttons to white.
If anyone can give me any tips as to which xml files I should edit for the font color, that would be most helpful! I can't try anything right now since I'm at work.
I used ZipSigner 2 to sign the apk, so it should hopefully be installable like normal from a file manager. I'm on a Droid X if it helps for reference.
I'd love a transparent widget and white characters to match the green wallpaper,...
I'll try to see how u did to change the app background...
for all want black themes for emui9 i found one working good and themes all items
just install themes manager for huawei from playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.deishelon.lab.huaweithememanager
and search for samsung one ui dark download it and apply it from the theme manager
it works very well
Unfortunatelly not. Try to get to any settings that requires second level user interaction (e.g. the fast mode choice when you connect the USB cable, or the choice whether the wallpaper applies to homescreen or lockscreen or both, and many others). You see the white text on white background in many cases. Quite anoying for regular usage in many situation.

Is there any way to make those changes in HV10. Every theme that I have tried has the same white on white pop up. Couldn't find code to edit it.. If any one knows how or where to find that option to make change please advise.
I found BLACK EMUI theme here:
https://theme.page.link/GAcELqio2oPMVZMT8
It looks very good for now. All is visible, no white text on white background. The only thing I didn't like is the font style, but you can change it manually.
After the 178 update, all the dark themes are working fine with white text on black background. Honor solved it.
I use Huawei Themes from google store, it's free. Thru it you can dl Porshe Style Dark theme which is compatible with Emui9 and it works perfectly for me.
