I searched but didn't do a great job. Awhile back I downloaded from here I assume is a stock HTC Kaiser theme that was black which made the windows mobile task bar and such a black/grey color. I had to do a hard reset on my phone yesterday to help with some issues that were plaguing my phone like not allowing me to answer calls, text messages, not allowing me to write text messages and not letting me turn the phone off using the on/off button. I was hoping someone still had this background floating around. I'd love to get it back cause the blue and green from before you do anything looks terrible. Also I've KasierTweaked my dialer and it stays blue for some reason. I wondered if the original black theme changed its color on the dialer pad making for a grey background and black key pad or if its a download. I just remember it looks like the WM version but was just black and grey in color. Trying to get my phone back to how I liked it. Thanks.
Hello everyone!
I am a long time XDA user since the days of Windows Mobile skinning, under the name htctoucher. I'm now using the name aBbtdesigns (coming from Blackberry Themeing - see http://bbtdesigns.com) and am starting to create themes for Android!
It's been several years since I was active on XDA Forums, used to love this site, and am looking to get back into it!
I'll be posting some of my themes here, with links to the Market and my site (sig) so you can check out more if you're interested. Please let me know what you think, any requests, etc!
Enjoy!
PS anyone coming from windows mobile?

Your themes are truly amazing.
I did not buy one (i personally find themes that cost more than 1 euro expensive), but the screenshots are way more beautiful than any other skin i 've seen in the market

I didn't know swiftkey supported themes, do they now?
Are you taking requests? I like how you make themes for both Go SMS & Touchpal so that they can match!
I'm currently using the Dark Swift themes (which match fine) but testing out the Dark Blue themes (which don't match quite correctly).
Can the Touchpal keyboard be changed so that the letters on Touchpal are Black instead of White (to match the SMS chat bubble). Also, the color on Touchpal seems off by a little but, possibly due to the gradiant. Can the Touchpal blue color be made a few shades darker to match the SMS bubble blue color?
Thanks!
ps - tried to email you, but don't know if you check or of it just failed to get there

Hey polstein!
Glad to hear you're liking the themes!
I just checked it out. I don't think I'll be doing black letters on the keyboard just for visibility issues.
Although I can look into changing the color to white on the SMS bubbles. What do you think?
Funny I never got an email, which address did you send to?
Thanks for the reply!
I sent the mail through the address listed in the Market (ok, the Play Store..grr).
I'm not even sure which theme I'm using at the moment, I've been switching around a lot and still can't decide on a keyboard. Every time I try to stick with one, things jump out that annoy me & I switch to another (then repeat). Touchpal is pretty good, but has some annoyances (and while updates come out regularly, the dev doesn't seem to be responding anywhere).
Mostly, I like having the keyboard & sms match themes. In the case of the Dark Blue theme, the black text on blue looks pretty good in Go SMS, trying to imagine what it would look like on the keyboard (black letters on the blue keys). Could go white text in GO Sms, but might be a small step the wrong way (and upset people using it already). Either way, please don't change just for me - I don't think I'm going to stick with the Dark Blue Touchpal skin, it's just too bright for me.
In general, the ones I tend to like are darker skins with color accents. (Perhaps a version of Dark Blue Touchpal - flipped - so the keys are black and the accent/letters are the blue to match the Dark Blue Go SMS theme?)
Finally, I made a feeble attempt with the theme builder to make a GO Sms theme to match the "Classic" touchpal look (grey keys with black letters and blue accents. I used mspaint to grab the rgb values of the skin & made backrounds & bubbles in Go Sms to match the keyboard.... and it looks like like crap. Somewhere in there, I'd love to see a Go Sms theme to match the Classic Touchpal look. I know you can do a much better job then I can
Thanks for any work you do!
I'll look into doing a classic TouchPal theme. Added to the to-do!
Also to note, nearly all our Go SMS themes are now $1.99!

Hey polstein
I have since rectified the email system.Seems emails were being withheld. All is working now! Email away
Read your post again today and I am wondering if you've checked out the Dark Phone Series. By your description it seems like it would fit perfectly into your request for black keys with blue accent highlights.
It's actually my favorite right now I have it running as I type this message! Have a look and see what you think!
www.a.bbtdesigns.com/dark-phone-series
It's currently available for Go SMS and Go keyboard. Coming soon for Go contacts.
I'm interested to hear what you think!
Best,
Kris
Wow....
This actually looks very nice.
I want to use it now
Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know why Ciara's Xperia Z Conversation / Messaging Theme is black?
I'm from Australia, and my SMS Theme is totally White.
I've seen alot of modded Black/Dark themes here, though none are the same as this Vids -mostly the blue message box color differs slightly.

Is this like a standard for US version or something?

Yeah I want dark apps too , i'm sick off getting blinded at night.
I have a Z3C and had been having an orange bug droid case with the live blue theme with the wavy lines. I got me a blue bug droid case in today and went to swap the theme color and lost the wavy lines the flow around. Now any color I choose is just a straight color and I cant figure out how to get the live wavy lines back. I've been through all the settings and rebooted twice and nothing. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
On choosing a wallpaper go to Live Wallpapers then choose Xperia. Then on the settings choose what color u want.
Thanks for your input. I've tried that. I used to just go to themes and change color and they'd stay live. Now when I do it exactly like you suggested it just gets rid of the waves completely and just has a solid color. Under themes when you select a color if i choose static wallpaper the waves come back but aren't live. I have no idea what changed. I've been having the phone for a couple months and had swapped theme colors a few times before without any issues.
Hi, was anyone able to find a dark/black theme for working fully with Emui9 after Pie upgrade?
My findings:
Dark EMUI 9 Theme (Best for Non-pro Huawei Phones: so far the best one I found: the dialer is in white, but rest of relevant apps and settings in black/grey without any bugs.
Generaly there is load of themes partially, not fully working. (in my opinion those are themes originally developed for Emui8 whose creators claimed compatibility with Emui9 without proper testing)
Mostly, the problem occures in certain menu's when user's interaction needed. In numerous menus, the text and background are same color, making text unreadable. You can overlook it during fastcheck,but its very anoying in tons of everyday situations.
How to test it: Choose settings> Home screen and Wallpapers> Wallpaper and choose anyone. Confirm it. Dialogue with choice whether you want to set it on Lockscreen, Homescreen or Both. If this dialoque is normaly visible, theme should be OK. In most cases of problematic dark themes, the dialogue shows in combination white text/white background.
List of tested and not properly working themes (update 19/01/19)
Deep Black Emui theme: Tested v 1.5, not working properly
Dark EMUI 9 Theme for Huawei/Honor: bought, not working properly, returned with refund.
Dark EMUI Theme for EMUI 5/8: not working properly
Moutain Dark Theme: not working properly
Problematic themes from Theme Manager from Huawei
- Samsung One Dark UI: bit confusingly reccomended as working in this topic here on XDA
- Windows 10 Home
- Nightlike
No fully black themes yet sadly, an the theme there has a nasty notification shade slider icon, looks straight out of 2011 ice cream sandwhich 4.0.
Im not upgrading to EMUI 9 until a decent theme comes up.
Maybe you can try this..
"Dark EMUI 9 Theme for Huawei/Honor"
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20/themes/deep-black-emui-9-theme-t3877187
:good: try this one
iaureeel: I have bought it and it is not working
2WildFirE: you are refering to the same theme as I did in first post. It has problems with dialogues, that are shown with same color of text and background. (e.g. if you connect phone to the PC, you cannot choose charging/copy mode, and many other similar situation).
So far, this is the theme I sound so far best - it has dialer in white, but rest is in black and working.
Hi,
I've just found this one: Samsung One ui Dark https://theme.page.link/WWYTf4ZnqXpsFTyD7

Yes, I've just seen this. I was too enthusiast
Did some more testing on promising themes, so far no luck.
Added to the first post.
I know it's not a theme per se, but I had the same "problem" when updating to EMUI9 (notification panel and navigation when keyboard is displayed were white). I found there is an option in "Settings > Battery" called "Darken user interface" or something like that, that turns everything dark, even the dialer.
There is no such option... Screenshot?
It's under Battery > the last setting before "more battery settings".

That's very interesting... I don't have this option and my version is 9.0.0.162 What is yours?
Ps) You don't have Honor View10 do you?
I don't have that option, and I'm on B178. What region is your phone for? Is it L09 C432?

My Honor View 10 is the BKL-L09 C432 version and I don't have that option in my phone. I'm on 9.0.0.178 patch 01 at the moment.
This version is working on my honor lite 9, but its not black, notification is still white !
