Please note: I am resharing this post here so that more users can discover this, the original thread was in Nexus 5x written by me.
Hey all,
So I'd like to share my discovery with all of you.
Yesterday I was playing around with my Rooted Nexus 5x on Android O DP2 and later found that I activated Night Light in Settings>Display.
The requirements are:
A rooted Nexus 5x/6P on Android O
Pixel Theme placed in vendor/overlay
Developer Options enabled
Steps:
What you want to do is:
1. Add the Pixel theme to vendor/overlay (there are a lot of articles online for this)
2. Change your smallest width in Developer Options to 450.
3. Activate the Pixel theme in Settings>Display>Advanced>Theme
4. Voila
Why does it work?
I honestly don't know if I were to take a guess, it would be that the combination of Pixel theme and DPI trigger the software to think it's a Pixel, but again, just a guess...
I am attaching screenshots of everything and also the overlay file I used, please report back whether it worked or not!
Cheers!
Thanks, can i add them to my substratum theme so other users can use it on future O builds also ?

Sure thing m8, but could you link to this thread though! Thanks! And let me know what theme, I'm a recognized power user of substratum!
Didn't work in my case. Followed the same steps.
Not work for me. Maybe it only works for 5x
Nexus 6P running latest beta here, and not working. No theme option in display, and no night light ?
Nexus 6p, not working for me
Tried to set it up, nothing.
What's the substratum theme to apply?
Or... How to use the zip? Just flash it?

Just tested, the aroma installer is gone, which is kind of a downside, plus, it made my system settings crash every time I tried to open it..

This is for the open Beta's. I'm assuming you got it mixed up with this thread . That's why there is no aroma installer and you are getting the crashes.

Thanks a lot for this. I'm glad that someone took the relay in this.
For those who want dark notification, the developer has no time for that. So you could try installing this substratum theme, if your rom supports it, and just theme the notification tray.

Force Dark Mode for Android Oreo (8.1)
Google introduced Android's new WallpaperColors API for Android 8.1 in December 2017.
This module is for bypassing the API by returning always black color values to force system wide dark mode and to save your eyes of the light theme UI. Dark theme is automatically enabled when using dark wallpapers, but the problem is usually live wallpapers which must implement the API as they are dedicated applications and in control of the wallpaper rendering, otherwise system defaults to using light theme.
The module is really simple at first (version 1.0) as there's no options or user interface, but I accept feedback and help for future development when it's needed and/or wanted.
Requirements
Android 8.1 (API 27) or newer
Xposed Framework version 90 or newer
Usage
Download and enable module
Reboot.
Embrace the darkness.
Links
Download APK
Xposed repository
Github repository
Does this enable dark theme in settings too? Or just notification panel?

This module enables global dark mode by fakeing wallpaper color. Every app that observes WallpaperColor API for theming (like System UI) are effected.
Settings app doesn't implement color theming, so it stays white.
I guess this won't work on Oreo 8.0, will it?
If so, do you have any other idea how to get rid of the sunglasses if using my phone in a dark room? Think it's kind of annoying that they switched from dark grey to nearly white
Is it possible to implement the exact opposite? (Option to force light mode when a dark wallpaper is on)?

I agree with this man I'm just kinda bored of dark mode and I think white might look quite clean :laugh:

No, dark theme was implemented on Android 8.1 by original Android developers. I'm not responsible for the actual theme and this module is for force enabling it.
Read the first post.
Edit: You could check if Android Oify has this feature.

All text in the notification from Maps is black on black. Any suggestions how to fix this?

Anyway to get this to work on nougat rooted without xposed installed?
Would be very glad or a similar app to theme the whole phone
Substratum seems to give me problems
Hi'yall
First of all thanks for the mod it would be great.
It truly enables the dark mode even on the app drawer. Which is being missed by the next dark theme forcer app. But this makes fb messenger, the full version (orca) crash as soon as i try to open a chat thread. Remove the mod and it is fine... Not enough to disable it...
Have u guys felt this or is it only for me?
Btw i am on:
Xiaomi redmi note 4 mido
Los 15 straight from lineage.
Magisk latest
Xposed sdk 27
I install it and enable it in xposed but my n960f seems nothing happened.
Updates Incoming (some day)
Because of a number of the feature requests in this thread, I'm planning to do a big upgrade and add compability for modern (eg. Android 10) versions in the future. The plan is to add support for users that aren't using Xposed and fix bugs that has risen from Android updates. That would include stock Android users and Magisk users or other mod framework users, if and where possible.
Feature Requests
Don't expect for the upgrade to come too soon, but I promise that I'll continue working on this project when I can. I have really to tight schedule so just hang a bit and submit bug reports and / or feature requests.
For proper tickets visit the GitHub repository's issues page and add the features you want there.

Well. The module is made for Android Oreo 8.1, so I don't see why it wouldn't work. I haven't tested it with other than stock Nexus 5x, but the changes are made for AOSP.
Report back if you can't get it to work. I'm happy to help if you got any issues. I will not guarantee that I will make any updates since this is kind of forgotten and "left as is" project of mine.
Hi everyone, I have a p20 lite ane-lx3. Since October security patch update, when I want to apply one theme, the theme doesn't apply properly because the status bar and navigation bar doesn't change :'(
I don't know if I have problems with my phone or huawei quit that feature.. Have you been experiencing this?
Thank you.
PS: I have done two factory reset on the phone.
Did you restart your phone after applying the theme?

Yes, I did but nothing changed. Also I did two factory reset but didn't work :'(
Hmm don't know Bro. Restart after applying theme worked for me. Then the themes loaded correctly.
you should send your phone to repair
I am experiencing the same problem. It seems like the last couple of updates changed some things and that has broken the theming engine. I guess we will just have to wait till the next update where it might get fixed.
even I too want to confirm that there is nothing wrong with the phone. People are not checking their phones properly and are under the impression that their themes are working properly. To know if a theme is working fully, after applying a theme and reboot, check if icons under settings applet have changed or not, check whether status bar icons are changing or not, if having VoLTE connection, check whether its changing to HD instead of VoLTE(applicable for some themes), battery icons and even some apps interface (usually the Calculator).
Currently the only thing that is working is changing of app icons, wallpapers and a few colors like message/sms colors, and nothing else unless you use Xposed to tweak your visuals or some substratum theme engine. Even Huawei too confirmed that their theme engine is broken and they are working on a fix with Android 9 update, but they are clueless about when it will be released for beta testing, but they confirmed that development of emui for p20 lite is on the works and broken themes wont be fixed until l Android 9.
However some noobs are happy that their app icons got changed and are celebrating the fact that theme engine is working properly.
@fbh59
Thnx for the tip. Feeling like a big noob right now.
Never realised that only the dialer, icons and colours changed whilst changing themes.

yes!!! let me attach a theme, kindly test and post your screenshots. I shall show you the difference between your smartphone visuals and that of mine. I can showcase as I am still with September patch. But I am not sure whether I can show the difference as you seem to use P10
Thanks, tested it and only things that don't change are settings menu icons and status bar.
Nice theme, no fan of apple so I'm not going to use it but nice work!!
Huawei Theme Engine Broken
While these are the screen visuals of my screen with an older security patch. I didn't use any substratum theme engine or Xposed tweaks to change the colour within apps like Play Store, VLC. Even Outlook interface was changed to Red instead of usual blue, but couldn't post it due to all confidential items inside it.
P.S: I don't know whats so "apple" in it? I used this theme just for a neat status bar. Used a different theme for app icons. The only thing I had to bear is under software version it shows ios 11 instead of emui 8(but who visits that screen). Lockscreen too can be changed. I might use an app like Theme Editor for EMUI to change status bar icons, but certain things are not changed like displaying HD instead of VoLTE. Copy pasting of this theme's status bar into other themes and building a new theme too does no help.
Hence the problem
Sh*t. I have the same problem with December patch for p20 lite.
App icons are changing but icons on settings are stock icon

Just received EMUI 9.1 (9.1.0.132) and the themes are still broken also did a reset + cleared cache. Is there any other solution?
Huawei themes does not work!
When I enter the app no themes apply
I may have found it, read this:
''We appreciate the feedback and would like to share some background information and clarifications.
The Overlay Manager Service (OMS) is intended for device manufacturer's use. OMS, in its current form, is not designed to be a generic theming feature -- more design considerations will need to be put into it in order to uphold Android platform's security and product standards for users. Accordingly, OMS has never been advocated as a public developer feature.
Earlier this year a security patch (CVE-2017-13263) was released to OEMs for Android Oreo devices. The patch restricts the installation of overlays to pre-installed or system-signed apps, in response to a legitimate security issue raised in Android Oreo. Android Pie also includes this critical security patch, so it restricts overlays in the same way as does Android Oreo.
We understand that custom theming is an important capability for some users. We will take your feedback into consideration with any future work in this area.''

Don't report this to Huawei, they can't do much about it and only Google can, but they have to find a way to get rid of the security issue before making it work again.

Hi everyone,
Can someone tell me how I can remove the bottom navigation bar using root? Seems like everything I find is geared towards "without root" but nothing that says how to do it with root.
Thanks.

Thanks, I'm just getting reacquainted with the forums again. It's been a while since I've been active and a ton of stuff has changed.
All you have to do is :
Install Magisk Hide Props Config
su (gain root access)
props (open the hideprops menu)
5 (Add/edit prop values)
n (New custom prop)
qemu.hw.mainkeys (the build prop for whether to include softkey navbar)
1 (sets the build prop to disable the softkey navbar)
y (yes to continue with defaults)
y (yes to reboot)
It works on stock and even on custom ROMS.
No more Navbar and you can use fluid or vivid

Dont know if there is an app which you can use but Apps which changes quick settings also run bad without root cause sometimes you can see the Samsung one then or both at the same time its buggy :/ maybe you can try to use an Theme (overlay) which tries to "copy" that Look? Like with hex installer and Aosp Q plugin. But i dont know if its full working on oneui 5.1 yet...
