Hey everyone just wondering if there's a way to invert my ambient display for black themes. I know this is a common issue and I am on LightRom 6.0
I have done a number of searches with no result and I have only seen this option on a couple heavily modded Lolli Roms.
Cheers.

you can always use layers. i use outerspace or puch black. it makes my norufication options black with white writing.

I am using Layers I am using blackstock Theme my issue is my ambient display displays black with only app icon visible, I know this is not the themeres fault as it has been an issue since day 1 but I have only seen a fix for this on heavily modded roms.
I'm enjoying the clean M with layers enabled just would enjoy more if I was able to invert my ambient display.
Thanks for the suggestion except the layers themes you have suggested are not Marshmallow friendly.

To get a dark layers theme to show white text on ambient display needs 2 commits...1 in the theme (which we all added some time ago) and 1 in the rom.
The commits in the rom I've only seen in AOSP roms.. I'm not sure, but i doubt you could add it to a stock rom.
Could someone inform me of what commit is needed to be added to the ROM. Or where i can find such information.
I would like to suggest it be added to a ROM, and provide such information.
Thank you

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:
I also tried Substratum theme engine, and Layers manager but the apps doesn't start then FC ?

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.

Don't know if you're still looking, but I made one for eXistenZ MM - https://mega.nz/#!NptDRSgC!QOJHyx08wCMwWfnJpRYKRFgFQd9sRslSw8snfCWa5hg
Make a backup, flash in recovery.
Also, here's dark contacts, install as normal apk.

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.

Have not get in to it yet to little time right now to test and read information but the Andromeda + substratum program seems to work but didn't apply any changes
Got it working on B360 without any problems, but a few system apps (like dialer & calendar widget) aren't overlayed
Has anyone found a way to get white text with black notifications without root? Every theme I try has white text for stock apps, but all 3rd party apps still have the hard to read grey text. Thanks
This has been discussed in the themes and mods section, if you do not find something there, most probably there is nothing available yet

I was using substratum before the Oreo update, but it sounds like too much of a pain in the butt now that need to plug into a computer all the time to use it.

Seems even many of the Samsung themes in the theme store do not fully support Pie. After finding a dark theme that I liked and that actually worked on Pie, I ended up just switching to the default theme and turning on night mode (you can't use night mode if you're using a theme). I did this because some elements were not impacted by the theme like they used to be in the past (the default email client specifically in my case).
I'm on at&t and still no update

No. Night Mode is not inverting the colors. Its a dark theme.

No, it only darkens some aspects of the UI for settings, notifications, and some of the stock apps such as the dialer, stock email app, etc. Even the content in those apps (for example a photo in the body of the email) are unaffected.

Guess I should have tried it before now, I just always assumed it would invert the photos too. Thanks for the answers! :good:

Just got it today. Adaptive Battery is a good thing. Changing time from right to left is a stupid thing.
Recent Apps is now similar to iPhone - swipe away. Not as efficient as the old way where all the open apps were stacked, you could see them all at once, and you could quickly hit the X on each app you wanted to close.
Do they actually do any usability testing when they change things like this? Sheesh!
