Hello there, I recently purchased a OP10P (N2215) and I have some questions about the dark mode feature. Quick background info: visually impaired and damn near impossible to look at much less read black text on white background.
I am coming from a OP8 where it was possible to selectively choose specific apps that were forced into a dark theme. I have not noticed that feature on the OP10P. Is there a way to get the same functionality from a root/non root app?
Edit: already turned on override force-dark in developer settings and some apps still show in normal and not dark mode friendly theme.
Bump. I really need some help. Anything that could potentially help would be appreciated
appreciated
You could enable dev settings and force darkmode on all apps
I already mentioned that I did that. There are still some apps that show in normal theme even with that on.

If you are rooted darq still works per app selectable. Search for it on xda
Unfortunately I am not rooted. I've looked Into darq already as I had used it on a Huawei phone I once had. Remember reading an article on how it doesn't work properly on Android 12.
Also not to mention the app itself loads in normal theme. I know there is a way to use non-rooted as well but the issue is setting it up
I appreciate the suggestion though

I'm using it on a12 rooted and works the same s it did on a11. Also using it with lsposed
Got you, not sure if I want to bother with rooting. I might give it a try again and see if I can't get through the non-rooted setup process

So I am now rooted and running darq. Uber and some other apps still show in normal mode even though I have them selected in the list AND have always use force dark selected in advanced options. Any suggestions?

I also use substratum themes. So that's also something you should check out. Also if the app has the dark option in the settings of the app you should use that instead of the dark mode. If the app doesn't support dark mode in it's code it won't work to use darq (ex Uber). You will need a sub theme.

It's weird because on my op8 Uber and all the other apps are able to show in dark mode when selected by the built-in app selector. Don't know why op would get rid of that option

Please see this thread by a recognized developer i met over on the LG V20 side of things,
Went ahead and tested it against the note 8 without root, you do have to send 3 strings ( Now just 1 set! )of commands via ADB to get it working but this is a one time thing.
This is practically the UITuner android builds into their software and the OEMs seem to kill it for whatever reason. Go to to his thread to check it out and show him some love and thanks. The app is available for free in the google play-store as well.
Practically can be done by a toddler as long as you follow the steps the app asks you to do! Very Simple and super useful!

Have you found anything this cannot do yet? Meaning, from the screenshots on the Play Store, it says some status bar icons cannot be disabled by Samsung phones, have you found that to be true on the Note8 yet? I have the phone but I haven't installed this yet, was looking for a solid solution to removing the useless NFC icon that Samsung always displays, as well as a way to change the awful Bluetooth icon to the AOSP (or as similar as possible) version.
Thanks!
I'm with you man... I hate having the alarm icon on all the time. I know, I know... I ALWAYS have an alarm set!
My note8 doesn't show NFC icon or alarm icon. I use timely so maybe that's why it does show up when I have pending alarms coming up or snoozed iirc. Sprint n8 if that matters

I hate it too. I understand when you get that msg with headphones but why I get it with my damn car BT! There was an article at xda that you can turn it off with AutoTools and some ADB commands, but that is not working with Samsung devices at least for me with S7E atm. I manage to fix it with Tasker and AutoInput.

Mine cannot hide carrier id, both standard and auto-detect mode it's N950N.
Thanks Zachari! This app got me to get rid of the annoying heads up. But I think something went wrong with the display settings. The screen does not go off by itself. I mean the time out does not work.
Can anyone help?
By the way m using Galaxy S8 Plus.
This is a great app for the note8. Nfc, alarm icons gone. The screen rotation icon will show up so had to turn that off too. Bummer that the volume warning does not work. Can also adjust the number of quicksetting columns. Donated to the developer.

I must be retarted, but I can't get the ADB to work with Windows 10 Powershell. Anyone care to help?
I uninstalled the App and now my Notification pulldown icons are all black. Even after applying the default theme for the Note8 the icons are all white and still can't see them. How do you get the icons colors to show back up properly? I booted into stock recovery and did a cache partition wipe hoping how would fix it and no dice. Any help is appreciated.
Used it with the S8+ and the Note 8 to get rid of the battery icon. On the T-Mobile G1 ADB was the only way to get anything done, even a screenshot.
It's a great app I use it for my toggles and hiding my battery symbol and the immersive mode, can't wait for the volume warning to work on the Note 8 though

I was able to get the status bar icons to show back up by installing the app again and using adb on my desktop, but the question remains how do you completely uninstall this app and go back to stock settings? Is the only way to do a factory reset?

Hey everyone, I did a search and didn't see a quick guide posted about this so I thought I would write one up with some pictures real quick.
Pre How To Notes:
* the usual I am not responsible for your device, if you mess it up its on you etc etc. Make a back up or have an apk ready.
* I have only tested this on the v30= but im sure it will work on all devices running Google Dialer Beta 24.0.214850721 ( https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...gle-phone-24-0-214850721-release/#description ). I am part of the Dialer beta and was not pushed the beta 24 release, so I had to manually update it to this one. The needed setting do not exist in beta 23.
* I am using the following 3 Magisk modules - Google Dialer and Contacts for OP5 and/5T - Android 0 Apt x libraries - Pixel Experience. These may or may not effect anyones ability to enable these features, but since I am going to post and run I figured it was easier to say such now than find out tomorrow that noone could replicate it and this is the reason why.
* I just saw @syndre post a magisk module for the dialer and contacts that is version 24. May or may not work with that, and maybe if you all ask super nice he will make a second magisk module that has dark mode enabled since I have never made a magisk module and wouldnt know where to start.
* You must have "Preferences Manager" installed from the play store (or wherever i guess) in order to do this. ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.simon.marquis.preferencesmanager&hl=en_US )
Ok so its fairly simple.
How To enable Dark Mode on Android Dialer
1) Open Preferences Manager (make sure it has root priv) scroll down to "Phone" app and select it.
2) Scroll over to dialer_phenotype_flags.xml and find the setting G__enable_dark_mode_setting and switch it from "false" to true
3) Now find com.google.android.dialer_preferences.xml and find the setting for display_options_dark_mode and switch that one from 'false' to "true".
4) Close out, force stop google dialer, reopen the dialer.
5) Go to dialer Settings, and select Display, then check Dark Mode - Enable.
Boom, you're done. Its a little buggy but it works and I havent had any issues.
Let me know if you have any questions
:good:I just replaced dialer in Pie with the modified version!! Dark theme is awesome at night, Thank you!! :highfive:
the extra app isn't urgently needed for editing the xml files these files are stored in
/data/data/com.google.android.dialer/shared_prefs
and can be edited with a simple text editor capable of root rights.
thanks for finding and sharing :good: merci

No problem and Thank you @seadersn .
I was originally going to get into a whole additional paragraph or two of alternative methods to enable the necessary flags but decided to just use Preferences Manager as the example because it seemed like the most foolproof and easiest way for any level of user to accomplish the necessary steps.
And I figured that anyone with more advanced capabilities would spot what was being done overall and could accomplish the changes however they were most comfortable performing them (your post of course being a prime example of it accomplishing just that)

Just taking a quick look it looks like those files have too much personal information in them for me to just straight-up replace them completely with a module. I think that one line of the preferences file needs to be edited by hand somehow by anyone this right now until the implemented fully. I changed the one line showing in the screenshot and notice there was a toggle switch in the dialer app now, switching that makes it look like the third screenshot. I can't use it like that, lol

Can't get this working on my rooted lg v30. When I open preferences manager I have to show system apps to see Google phone. Then I have to scroll right to find data_rollout_dark_mode and set to true. Then scroll right again to display_options_dark_mode and set it to true. Force close app and no option for dark mode in display options when I open it.

I kept picking at it, and eventually edited the correct strings. I've got working dark mode.
the new v25 magisk module containing newest dialer version does indeed look good with dark mode just tried it again, it looks much more better than in the last version. i think next version will contain it officially, there's a new "__data_rollout__DarkMode.EnableDarkModeRollout__launched__" bool.

I have previously used Sony and switched to the p30 pro now , before I used to depend on a app like Notify, Notable ect ect ect where you have a quick access to make a note from the notification bar and then make that note stick there until you remove it yourself. When I now use the apps I previously used the notes and quick access all disapeare. I have tried to download several other apps but nothing stays there until I decide myself. Have also checked phone/app settings with no luck.
Does anyone know of a app like this that works correct on p30 pro or if there is a settings Im overlooking?

Set the app to manual in app launch. Dont let the system auto manage it. Lastly, check and make sure the app is not optimized in the battery settings.

Just leaving this here as a method of applying dark mode for whatsapp.
I can confirm working on GM1913 EU - 10.0.2 stock rooted.
Only extra step not in the following guide is to kill whatsapp after following the steps and relaunch and you will find a theme option in settings to enable dark mode.

So I added the line, and changed it, now when opening the file I see Whatsapp moved the line elsewhere in the file. The setting in the app is a little buggy, once now it automatically switched back to light mode, and now it's dark but the setting shows light mode. It's weird.

Are you receiving the notifications for google messages? If so, how did you get them to show up?
I remember it was a whole problem trying to get them to work on the x70 pro+, but it wss possible. Now I tried doing the same on this phone but I'm still not getting notifications. Only stock app notifications are working. Any idea?
Edit: ok... guess I had forgotten to allow notifications, allow background battery, and give all permissions to carrier services. Seems to be working now.
Edit2: I was reading the forums and just found out that notifications don't work properly in dark mode. So I had to switch off dark mode. Is there a reason why this happens and is there a fix?

No fix at the moment AFAIK. As @Thanos88 said it's best to just report this to vivo directly.
What boggles my mind is that the dark mode notification bug was already present on previous vivo phones with Origin OS and IT WAS FIXED... So why is it an issue again? I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the apps being non-Chinese. All Chinese apps work perfectly with or without dark mode. Vivo most likely doesn't care about apps that are mainly used outside of China.

Correct, should have been fixed with the x80 pro. But to be honest, im using dark mode, and I still get sms notifications with the default messaging app. However, I do have the vivo.pem app uninstalled so that's probably why text message notifications are working for me
