This is basically Samsung High Contrast Theme with black notification & light colored text.
Yes, it is possible without Root and unfortunately, without Subs (those who use subs, it doesn't work)
this is a usual Custom Trial theme, so install and apply like it.
- install
- apply (free trial)
- reboot
- re-apply (go to theme store, Stop trial, and click Free trial again)
=======================================================
Q & A
=======================================================
Q: Awesome man, finally have this without root. How / what did you do?
A: it all began here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...y-overlays-t3604341/post73336824#post73336824
Thx to @Tigerhoods @clck @Venom0642 @envy~ and many guys there :good:
Q: I cannot install this theme, after install doesn't show on theme store?
A: try to install with theme store opened, higher chance (open theme store, press home, install this, wait until install complete toast)
Q: dude my notif text still dark?
A: are you on substratum?
- Yes = read the top of OP sorry dude, it doesn't work in subs.. maybe someday,, when subs devs make it work
- No = need re-apply after reboot.. on some apps that still have dark text, let me know app package name.
Q: dude I already have white text cause I'm rooted.
A: good for ya.
Q: theme revert back to default after 10 minutes or after reboot
A: you've never use custom themes then.. u can search google or xda on how to make themes not reverting back.
I'm personally using this (cost money but very worth it) https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73317476&postcount=2264

if you re-apply theme after reboot, I'm sure download manager and screenshot are white.
for the other apps, yea I need package name, (eg. whatsapp is com.whatsapp )

Bit confused, sorry as ti what app package name you want.
Some apps in Notification is white
and some not.
Do you want package names of apps not showing white text in the notification bar?

Yes. please send me app names
have you reapply theme after reboot ? (go to theme store, stop trial, and click Free trial again.)
Are you using substratum ?
Further information,
I followed your instructions as set out in post #1.
I rebooted and could re apply theme (in App store showing)
However after a while i noticed
that i could only "stopped trail" No more re apply?
Also That theme reverted back to my previous theme
i had on phone.... but my Notification bar is still black.?
Here's a screen shot of what I mean in my above post.

yeah, don't look for "Reapply" button, you should go to theme store again and click "Free Trial" on this theme again.
As for notification still in black, don't worry, it will revert back after reboot
(Custom trial theme mod from outside theme store needs reboot to apply and clear )
And to make custom theme stick and not revert back to default themes,
I will update the post later.

Yes, i followed your original guide /instructions,
in post 1.
All installed as set out in your instructions.!
Secondly the black notification bar did not revert
back after a reboot.?
What i did was just installed the original
Samsung black theme, over all all is well. and it worked.
See screenshot below
However, i have for a long time looking for a way to get the notification bar black (without root)
So i appreciate your theme mod..!
Going back to apply your black theme mod
as i can still read the other notifications !!
I will update you later.
Thanks for a super Theme mod.
Good luck

yes, you will need to do procedure on how to make theme not reverting back,
using package disabler app, try BK package disabler,
after you apply the theme, disable samsung theme store and Themes (themecenter) and go to
developer mode\running apps\, then you stop this apps named "themes". *Thanks Philt198
(read post below this. haha)
I just updated apk in post 1 , added some of your apps, you'll like it

yes, you will need to do procedure on how to make theme not reverting back,

after you apply the theme, disable samsung theme store and Themes (themecenter) and clear their Data.
you dont need clear data. You only do 2 steps:
1. you install this theme and use Samsung disable package to disable theme center and samsung themes.
2. you enter developer mode\running apps\, then you stop this apps named "themes".
Afterall you done. Will never revert !!!
P/s: you must do step 2 again when you restart phone !
Good man
Tried as you mentioned..but it's not working. Some text are coming perfectly in white but some notification are still coming in grey. I am using S7 Edge.
However WhatsApp notification is showing text perfectly in white.

I dont think so.
There are many themes in the i Theme app, but most of the themes you must buy. So here is a way to install custom themes. The Vivo theme file is .itz
You must use ES file explorer to see hidden files. The dir to themes is long: .dwd, c, o, m, b, b, k, t, h, e, m, e, T (that the map where you copy the .itz file)
I was also looking for a dark system theme, but many themes doesn't work, because the Vivo Nex use a newer Funtouch OS version. I found one dark theme that kinda works, but it not a really a nice theme.
https://app.box.com/s/m1n4w35xnx3cuz7hkbfjivp2kdnbwyym
You can also mix different themes in the i Theme app.
*edit*
The best dark theme that works is this Miui 9 Dark:

costom skin
Thanks for the info!
This way I can make my all custom skin! Great!
Rename the .itz to .zip and open the file as such. You will find a bunch of folders:
> icons
> launcher
> preview
> wallpaper
Edit the contents to your liking, but make sure you keep original filenames and resolutions!
Where it gets interesting are the files in the ROOT directory of the .zip folder.
Those have no common filename extension and I cannot figure out how to open and edit them properly: Basically I have no idea what they do, but I think they are responsible for skinning the settings UI, making the lockscreen widgets work, etc.
If anyone has found a way to properly view and or edit those files please share with me!
Best regards!

Also planning to make a guide on custom themes once I truly understood how the theme files work.

Where did you get the theme files? When I download them with iThemes, they disappear from the folder right after finishing downloading.

Hoping substratum themes(even some few not the dozens that works briliant with Oxygen) work well with Funtouch OS.
I'm already using and bought 5-6 wonderfull themes by the way compatible with Oxygen hope some of them work with Vivo OS:fingers-crossed:

Here another dark theme that works, but Miui 9 Dark is still my favorite theme
https://www43.zippyshare.com/v/pwnb4K44/file.html
I am looking into the .itz files at the moment and will post a version of the Miui 9 Dark theme with more black in it (settings, dialer, maybe control center etc.) because it looks amazing on Amoled screens and saves a bit of battery.
Feel free if you have suggestions.

One Suggestion would be to make the text of the apps in the control panel white, because now you can't actually read the black text on the grey background.
Thanks for making a custom theme and sharing it. I'm looking forward to it.

Ok guys, I've got something!
Basically the MiUI theme, but with a lot of black instead of dark grey (settings, dialer, messages, file explorer, etc .) and a transparent control center!
Sadly I could not find out how to change the text color for the recent apps in the control center. But maybe in the future.
Please restart your device after applying the theme, otherwhise some things won't be applied.

Looking forward to your themes, mark. The LG themes, especially the G7 ones, were amazing.
Basically the whole phone go "dark" after we enabled dark mode in battery settings.
And yes, including the toggles.
However, for messaging app. You will need to switch it to dark mode manually in the top right setting icon.
Don't think we will need a dark theme for this one.
Tried the dark mode. However, anyone still getting a white 'light' navigation bar even when using dark mode? Especially when using apps, etc.
Yup, just waiting for a decent dark theme like everyone else.
I wake in the early hours, so need a theme that doesn't burn my retinas.

Tried Navbar Apps. However, I'm guessing the task manager keeps killing the app.
Did realise for some apps, after an update, the task bar stays dark. So it might be individual apps having to update.

Is anyone currently using a theme besides the in house dark mode right now? Specifically not one that just does icons. Before I start tinkering I wouldn't mind trying something out to tide me over. And I guess I want to get confirmation that themes even work and that Huawei didn't block them or something ridiculous.
Themes do work and Theme Editor for EMUI works, too, kind off, doesn't support EMUI 9 yet, you have to make do with 8.
I'm just using Theme Editor for Icons and Fonts and KLWP to get my Homescreen to look like I want it.

Hmmm I hadn't been able to get any full themes to work at all. But I'm thinking maybe it's because I had a crappy themes app installed by default. Once I installed app gallery it updated the themes app and it has way more options now. That might be why. But the ones I tried last night from Google Play prior to this only changed the icons. They were for emui8 which I understand likely won't work in everything but none of them did anything. May have to try again with new themes app
Ok so for fun I did try a couple emui 8 themes and it looks we can theme everything. Mind you none of them worked well. So I'm hoping to start making something. But first I gotta figure out why I can't decompile any system apps. Everything errors out so that's a bit of an issue

It does cost money (cheap). After you pay the amount, there are many good and free themes. It’s like substratum for unrooted devices (works on rooted too)
