Hello everyone,is there no way to get a dark theme for the stock dialer app on a non-rooted XZ2? Sony have given us the option in the stock messenger app,so why not in the dialer app as well? For that matter,why dont they just make the option available for a dark settings menu also. Really Sony,time to get with it.
Does anyone know of any way at all to get a dark themed stock dialer working on an XZ2 that is not rooted? I-m hoping for a miracle i know.

Please wait for Android Q.
And no, there is no way without root on P or O.

Why must i wai for Android Q? Do you think our devices will even be updated @MartinX3? The way Sony has been launching a new flagship every 6 months,i would be very surprised that we get Android Q. Also,what makes you think the Dialer or even the settings menu will have a dark theme support as stock?

It does? But do you really think Sony wont remove it and stick with their boring,tried and tested stock white only theme? Just look at what happened with the design of the phones. They released a gorgeous new shape in the XZ2 and then streamlined it on the XZ3,only to go back to the same boring rectangular shape on the upcoming Xperia 1 etc. Yes,they finally changed to a multiple camera set-up and much smaller bezels with a longer screen,but the overall shape of the phones is the same boring old design. They lack any sort of individualism or creativity at Sony HQ at the moment.

I dont think its a theme, its more like a custom UI on top of android like HTC Sense or Moto Blur.
Im sure it could be ported, but will have to wait for a system dump for people to have a look
Love the phone but i miss dark theme, dont want the white. Possible to change without root and flashing custom rom?
+1 really want the dark theme on contacts, messages and on others
Plus I want bigger contact pictures to show when you click to call someone or when someone is calling you, on the Z there is mod which makes the contact pictures bigger for all incoming and outgoing calls and also in the contacts app... wish we can get this soon for the Z1 one
Agree My z1 is Black want a Dark theme to make more cool look

Not possible, unless sony added this feature in their stock roms... this would require changing\Modifying a lot of system apps...

Hi guys, like all of you guys i just recently got the 4.3 MJA onto my device. The first thing i noticed was the 4g LTE signal was different, the next thing was that they added the equalizer thing on your volume control when listening to music. The font was also slightly different, other than that. not much else changed. the biggest thing for me is that i can now use full features on my galaxy gear.
Tell me what you guys think samsung should do with the 4.4 kitkat update? i want to hear your thoughts. Me personally i want to see a theme change for once instead of the green battery icon etc, also i'd like to see a new touchwiz version. kinda like aosp. Lastly maybe a theme change in the notification bar. i like how it's set up but it'll be really bad ass if they added some more cool features.

they have a wide audience, and mostly likely radical change is not gonna work for a portion of that audience, so I highly doubt you will see that happen on this phone. a possibility with the next, but definitly not until a future phone comes out with it first.
Not really a 4.4 thing but wish Samsung had optional TW themes while keeping their TW features. AOSP, seasonal, sports, tech, etc... TW based themes would be refreshing.

Samsung updated Google Maps.
Used Titanium Backup to go back to 6.x.

That would be fantastic! At the very least Samsung and Google should put in a theme engine like wanam where you can change the colors of the notification icons, area and pull down panel.

That would be so sick.... I would almost consider not rooting.... but I still deff would
First thing they should do is get rid of the ugly gingerbread green in the status bar. They never adopted holo blue so at least adopt the kitkat gray.
I still have yet to receive my 4.3 update

Either clear data on Google services apk or just manually update to 4.3.
So I cant install the google keyboard with material theme. Its because I cant uninstall the google keyboard that come pre installed. There is no root yet available so no help there. Any one know how I can get the google keyboard with material design?

Root is only available on the Dev and Pure versions of this device. Hopefully root and unlocked bootloaders will come around to carrier versions. I'm personally awaiting that. But here's something nice, this phone should be one of the first to get Android L so you'll get that keyboard when Android L rolls out to this phone officially.

See this post in the App section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/themes-apps/app-android-l-keyboard-t2889542
I installed the Google L keyboard from that thread - no root necessary. You can switch themes - default is Material design; options are Blue and White I think.

Hello, is there a way to change the clocks for the lockscreen? Other then those 3 options? I'm on stock rooted firmware.
Thank you!

Download other clock widgets from the app store, long press on the lockscreen clock - swipe up to delete - and long press again to choose the widget you prefer.

I've never been so glad to be on the old version of Android. Lollipop is the first update that seemed to take away more useful features than it added.

Agreed, but material design is a bit overrated to me. The colors almost look to cartoon-like and I feel like a simple theme could have been applied to kitkat to give us the same look.
Anyway, that's the great thing about Android. If you don't like it, you can always change it.

Thats the game. Dont like it, dont play it. And we have alternatives. Miui f.e
I like Android 5.0 , but the ability to change the lockscreen clock doesn't have to be removed, oh well, waiting for Andoird M then
