Hello,
Is there a stock samsung black theme? I dont want to change any icons or anything. Just want to black everything out.
Thanks
I use an app called Substratum with the Swift Dark theme. It allows you to theme almost every app and looks really good. Both are available on the Play Store.
Just download Swift installer. It is by far the bast way to customize all (almost) the apps and colors.

I found a nice black and white theme but I absolutely loathe themed icons. First of all, since not every single icon is themed (there is always some odd program that does not get themed), second, I'm used to the standard look of icons and when all of them are square and monochrome I can't tell what's what, third and most importantly, when only some are themed and others aren't it just looks like crap.
So, is there some way to use a theme but not have it reskin the icons?
I can't believe I'm the only one who doesn't like when themes also change the icons for default programs.
Try using a stock adw theme, like a stock gingerbread theme or something. Thats what I do when I don't like the icons that come with a Cyanogenmod theme.
Hi all
Does anyone know of a good guide that shows you how to create a theme for a galaxy s6?
I am wanting to make a theme that uses the standard icons, but has some darker colours in the sms/phone app.
I dont like the theme store AMOLED friendly / black themes because they dont have enough colour and we loose the defaut iconset.
Basically if i can take the standard theme and modify a few things I'd be happy
Whenever I try to search for answers, all i seem to be able to find is references to some elusive and unobtainable theme creation tool that samsung was ment to release back in April.
I am just after the tool or a guide right now, i dont want to add my themes to the samsung theme store.

Oooh looks like this site is now back up again
developer.samsung.com/theme#mytheme
Edit: Nevermind that doesnt do the job
It is a super basic editor that just allows you to add wallpapers and icons - it wont let you change the background and coloring of the sms and phone apps.
Guys Almost Everyone of You Know That Our Lovely OnePlus 5 Uses AMOLED Display. But Do You Know How AMOLED Display Works? Let Me Explain :
LCDs like the ones you find on the*LG G3*or*HTC One (M8)*produces light with an LED backlight. The light shines through the pixels and into your eyeballs. In this case, a black pixel is simply one in which the pixel has turned opaque—it blocks all the light streaming in from the backlight. The backlight is still on just the same.
An AMOLED doesn't have a backlight at all. Instead, each little sub-pixel is like a tiny red, blue, or green colored light. If the screen is instructed to display black, it doesn't need to block any light, it simply doesn't light up any of the little colored sub-pixels.
So, If U See A Part of Screen That Is Showing Pure Black Colour, It Means It Isn't Showing Any Colour Resulting In The Best Black You Can Experience.
So, Now How To Save Power Using This?
First of All You Can Use The Stock Theme Option Inside Display Settings To Set The Theme To Dark. It'll Save Power During Stock Apps Screen.
In Third Party Apps, Use Substratum Theme Engine With Swift Black Theme (Most Preferred For Pure Black)
Here is Full Guide: (For Rooted Users Only)
1. Download Substratum Theme Engine (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=projekt.substratum)
2. Download Swift Black Theme (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brit.swiftblack.layers)
3. Run Substratum, Go To Swift Black Tab & Choose OOS 4 From The Top List.
4. Select Third Party Apps Only (Chrome, Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, Gmail, Drive, etc)
WARNING : I Don't Recommend Theming System Apps Like Settings, SystemUI Because They're Already Dark Themed, But You Can Always Try On Your Own Risk, If Stuck On Bootloop, Just Flash Rescue.zip Inside Substratum Folder In Main Directory
5. Click On Install Overlays Button And Wait For It To Complete.
6. Reboot
Now Enjoy The Extra Juice Saved By AMOLED Display.

I'm pretty sure Swift Dark is grey as opposed to Swift Black being true black.
Swift Black does not work properly on OnePlus 5. For example Youtube when trying to play playlist it crashes. Also some apps crash when swift black is turned on. So I just removed it.
That Sounds right. I also looked again in PlayStore.... So i think i buy also the dark one.

Doesn't that defeat the purpose because swift dark isn't actually black?
Sorry i meant the black one. The dark i already own.

Dark Is Grey/Gray & Black is True Black (The One Which Works On AMOLED).

Thanks

Thankjss

really amazing! THX!!!
Edit: ok, i tried the newest one of your themes.
Unfortunately, there is a little problem getting system notification requesters with it.
Some of them will have black font on nearly dark grey backgrounds.
BTW: Theme Editor works good for EMUI 5.
It is a problem notifications of individual applications. Some have white font, some black font. The bubble is therefore gray, both fonts can be read.
BTW, I dont create the themes in the application Theme Editor, I create them manually.

that was not the question!
But this apk is helpful to change some little things to my own wishes.
New version of theme. Bugs fixed.

ok,ok.. thx for the next build.
but for future builds, i recommend to use up counting version numbers! Like 5.01 -> v5.02 a.s.o.
Otherwise we will get different download links without possibility to see which version it is.
The theme is available at the Playstore now:

I was looking for a black emui theme, and yours is the first that i accepted on my device.
Your Total Eclipse theme (to support) was a shure buy, but i don't like it because it has no color .
Can you make a second one with same color as Pure Dark 5?
In the past i tried a black and white theme and found out that when used in sunny light i had very hard time seeing what i was doing. And because of this past experience I avoid to test another black and white/gray theme on my device. I like the green neon color of your pure dark 5.0 theme..
so i ask again : Can you do a Eclipse theme but with green neon color???
@hanniSK Just wanted to thank you for the Pure Dark 5.0 theme. Good job.
I use non root note 8, and I like to know if there is any way to color the icons of the status/notification bar (the clock, the battery, mobile data and so on) and the apps color something like this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/themes/wings-root-substratum-theme-launch-10-t3693952.
Thank you.

You know you don't have to be rooted to use substratum, right?

Yes I Know. but I can't find how to change the color of the icons of the status/notification bar.
I believe that since lollipop, the Android OS only allows white icons in the UI . From what I understand you should be able to tweak the alpha value to allow degrees of grayscale, but no color. Maybe hide the status bar and use third party app?

No, you don't have to be rooted to use substratum! You just need an add on to use it with Samsung.

are there more themes out now that work on a non rooted note 8 with substratum?
i was using it when the phone first came out, and there were only a couple of themes that worked properly on the note 8..
There is swift Dark,Samsung wings,and I use a sub theme called onyx from play store. You can basically pick and choose what colors you want and if you want dark apps or transparent apps. I'm using venom tron theme mixed with some from the onyx theme and Samsung wings theme. You can mix and match

Thank you, but I must ask how do you use Samsung wings theme? There is no link for download the app?
I try to change the green color in the play store app to red. how can I do it?
I use swift dark. I'll check the others you offer.
By the way I found great app to change the color of the icons of the status/notification bar (the clock, the battery, mobile data) and change some Icons (which not work with the batery icon-too small ) -without root: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.james.status.
I tried to check onyx but there's afew apps with the same name. Can you share the links of venom and onyx links?
Thank you.
