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:
Is it possible to get this to work with Oreo 8.0?

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.

Is there any way to choose which color you want to force? Like be able to force green or orange for example. Nice work so far.

There's an app in Playstore which does this. It's called LWP+
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.

I quickly got quite annoyed by Chrome's new 'feature' of showing customized address bar colors for certain websites. I simply prefer my address bar (and anything attached to it) to be the same default color as it always was.
As there was no option in chrome to disable this feature, I wrote this tiny Xposed module that intercepts the call to 'getThemeColor' for the chrome tabs and simply returns the default color instead.
Tested on Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) running CM12.1
// Edit:
As I was not that consistent with my naming scheme, the name in the Xposed repo turned out slightly different: "Chrome toolbar Color Killer"
(For those interested that were unable to find the module)
Thanks for this, was annoying me too!
Seems to work fine on my Nexus 5 running 6.0.1

Same. It worked at first but after a few reboot all is the same as usual
Same here.
Running today's CM13 nightly (23-02-2016) and Chrome version 48.0.2564.95
Xposed log says this:
02-23 10:00:22.103 E/Xposed ( 6901): java.lang.NoSuchFieldException: No field mDefaultThemeColor in class
does it support any chrome builds and derivatives? beta/dev/chromium/caf
hey man, it's just an idea for you, but could you make this work the other way round too? i mean, forcing chrome to tint the bar of a webpage in a certain color.. it could be a pro feature so you could make some cash i'm no programmer so i don't know the technical difficulties behind this but it sure would be awesome
Sorry guys for not replying any sooner, but I've been crazy busy at work
Also, I got myself a new phone which remains unrooted for now, so any of the issues that may occur with the Xposed module I cannot reproduce.

From your log I assume that Chrome has moved some internals around since I built this module. Perhaps someone would be interested in picking things up and figure out what to tap into to disable this annoying feature once more.

Would not be able to say this for certain, but my first guess would be No. Apparently chrome itself also became incompatible

Sounds like a great idea! Though that is one hell of a lot more complicated than what I was aiming for. I would be happy to share the code I have with anyone who might be interested in fixing / updating stuff. Maybe they could also figure out a way to include your idea.
For now I won't be working on this module anymore, but if someone would be interested in the source code, just let me know. There's probably a way I can share it...
A simpler idea is to make the bar always default to a color, for example black. Coupled with chromium night mode it would be the ultimate night browsing experience.
Let's fix this great module!

I really love the feature of this module.. And I also like the idea to set a user-chosen color of the toolbar for each website (for example I LOVE black!!) So if you can share the code (preferably for Android Studio) there are many chances to succeed! I am a developer too and I already build some "tests" Xposed modules.. So let me know! Thanks

Great module! Not working for me at the moment though. Not sure if chrome has been updated recently.

You could share the source code on github. I do not have any time right now, but I would be interested in working on it, come April (2017). That is, if someone else has not already done it by then.

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.

Has anyone had any luck applying Substratum/other overlays on Oreo (specifically CRA1)?
I have Andromeda, Sungstratum, all that stuff installed.
Yes but it took a while to find out how it worked. I'm rooted BTW so I don't need Andromeda.
Compile & activate the theme.
Reboot.
Go to substratum - manager
Activate all overlays again
Reboot
That's how it works for me.

How do you root CRA1?
Just recently got the manual Oreo CRA1 update coming from Nougat on T-Mobile S8+. It is incredibly quicker and much more fluid.
On Substratum I'm on Swift Black Complete Edition, along with Material Black from Samsung Themes. On Nougat that worked buy using the "Sungstratum" add on from the Play Store. When I upgrade to Oreo 8.0, I was no longer able to see Sungstratum in the Play Store. Instead, Substratum asked for another plug-in to allow it to run fully, Andromeda. So of course, had to buy that too.
But anyway, it's working nice. Visually that is. After finally being able to set it up to where I need it. Although, I am only still trying to figure out how to get a dark overlay for the notification card. Haven't figured that out yet.
You will have installation issues of overlays if you upgrade to Oreo CRA1 because of the new different plug-in used to activate Substratum. In my case, here is what I had to do when I installed a new overlay from a new theme. The symptom is, I install an overlay, but it doesn't show in under the "Manager" tab. Only under the theme and in the orange color, so it's saying that it's disabled. No matter however many times I select the overlay and choose options and re-enable overlay OR change overlay status, nothing happens.
What I had to do was simply restart the phone, run the Andromeda client from my computer and then go back to the overlay in Substratum and enable it, only then does it enable and turn green. The overlay actually installls this time.
I hate that part. Sucks for when trying and messing with new overlays just to try them out, makes the whole process just a freaking hassle.
Now, to the real question. You know how to get dark notification cards? Maybe dark notification tiles for the lock screen ?? that would be awesome.

Yep. Search Coffee in the forums and install it. It will then be in your Samsung themes to apply. It will black out your settings, phone, contacts and notifications. The QS Tile color comes from the coffee theme. The actual icons are from a Substratum theme.

I've had no problems. I would disable your overlays before you apply coffee. Apply coffee and see if the notifications are blacked out. If they are Grey change the resolution on your display back and forth and see of that fixes it. If that doesn't rebooting should fix it. The only minor drawback to this theme is that Samsung wants to kill it after it's been applied for 10 minutes. To stop that from happening once you get the theme working properly go in to developer options and stop the themes app. Then go in to settings-Apps-Enable system apps and clear cache and data for the Samsung themes app and the themes app. It seems like a lot of work but once you've done it a few times it only takes a minute or 2. Any time you reboot your phone you will have to redo that process. Hope it works out for you. Reach out with any other questions.

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.

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.

Ok
Theme manager is less useful then before. Huawei is getting more and more restricted like Apple. I hate that
This is a temporary fix for those Samsung devices or maybe other AMOLED devices that do not support AOD brightness control and facing too low brightness like me in the dark.
If your device doesnt support AOD Brightness Control than it has 2 brightness levels 2NIT or 60NIT. When it is low I find it too dark so we can keep it bright all the time by aaplying 3 or more lux or even if you want to keep it low all the time then you can input 2.0 or less.
Keeping it bright wont impact on power consumption too much.
Tested on Samsung A50 and should work with almost all sAMOLED devices.
Updates:
V1.2 now with inbuilt compatible weather Icon.
Specially made for AOD can be viewed without much of stress.
No sticky notification
Shows +temp in Neon Green and - in Neon Blue color respectively.
The Icon will try to stay in front
The Icon updates precisely
The Icon will work even if the module is disabled.

Yes try with less than 2 lux. You can do it in my app

I am on pie now, pie seems to not support xposed as far as i know ...any plans to make it a magisk module?
I am already on pie and using edxposed.
Xposed is not officially supported for pie yet but you can use EdXposed.
Goto magisk manager and install Riru-core and EdXposed Sandhook or Yahfa varsion
Then install EdXposed Installer from herehttps://github.com/solohsu/XposedInstaller/releases/tag/Ed_v2.2.4
Thats it all your xposed modules will work
Updated V 1.2 with AOD compatible weather Icon

There is nothing to do with any google apps. All it does is change the lux when screen goes off.
Mine works great. My device is Galaxy A50 with Pie.
May be you have other module installed and get conflicts with it.
Try to disable other modules.
dosent work on s8
Tried on S8. set NIT value to 2. brightness remains constant high. unlike before it used to go low based on light sensor .
i want to set AOD brightness to always low value. any help will be appreciated.
Hey, (maybe) dumb question: Where do I get this? I don't see any links. I'm especially interested in the code.

Hi, can you release it to LSPosed? I can't find it there, and the XPosed repo link doesn't load
