Hello
I am a casual rom flasher zip flasher restore to factory then move on to next handset kind of guy. I have 0 development experience.
I am quite irked and strongly dislike the white background themes of the s5, could anyone point me or help create something compatible for android 5.0 that removes or inverts the white, and makes the text another visible color like blue or white or something.
The settings screen is terrible with all the white, I would keep everything the same except the font text, and white background and make it black if i knew how.
The Dialer is terrible and white again
The keyboard is white the messaging background is white (i really miss all the colors schemes of the galaxy s2, an outdated but heck of a device.)
The about screen and menu prompts are white (all the sub options under settings are white)
Why do the carriers insist on making everything white, and why do us carriers not allow for theme changing (this was issue with the g3 which i gave up to go to the s5 for the battery saving mode because the g3 battery died in less than 5 hours, but the g3 even was all white with no theme changer stock)
I am willing to donate beer or coffee to whoever can create something to address these issues
I will appreciate being pointed in the right direction of anything that exists that can help me solve these white screen theme issue
there is something i came across through xposed framework that was Lthemer or lollopop themer but it did not work for me or i did not know how to use it.
I am reaching out to the community thanks and I appreciate it. I only created this thread because all the things and mods and themes i saw were for kit kat and not lollipop
seeking for help from a developer

Thanks! Does G6 have full month calendar widget? If yes please post screenshot of it with some example event added.
On new event page there is: cancel, pocket and save. What is "pocket" for?
and the last thing: incoming call and during call screen please

Well i have one theme working on thr G6 right now and I have a thread open in the themes and apps section for support and feedback.
Now this is slightly tricky because there are some obstacles I am facing with porting some of these over. I cannot port over them all due to some extreme ui differences in a few apps. The main issue (but not the only one ) is because with the G6 there are a few apps where the text is hard coded white and thr same apps the trxt is hard coded black. So in short one device will get screwed with either dark text on a dark background or white text on a light background which creates readability issues. I most certainly cannot have that happen. And also the G6 has a lot of different elements that can be themed. So if i were to add those to an exisiting v20 theme it will cause the v20 to no longer work because it's telling the theme engine to theme xxx icon or xxx color which isn't supported. Thus the theme doesn't function. So that's an issue.
So what the plan is, is to port over a few themes that I can get it to function properly on both devices and the ones that can't will have to be a new theme.
Off the top of my head the ones that can expect to work on all devices are: Dark Nougat (already updated and live), Flow, Indigo flow and crush.
Remix, Vector, Dark Material, Dark AOSP, Pixel Ui are not going to work and will have to be new themes that will only work with the G6.
I'm not sure about Dark Ui theme yet. It may or may not work.

I tested this theme for the Dev and it definitely had white on white text in the sms app. The dialer had black text (ABC) on a dark grey background as well but I don't know if either are hard coded.

Correct. There are some issues. Some are fixable amd some are not.
Oh btw you're not allowed to link to play store themes that are paid. You may get in trouble for that. I purposely didn't quote that part of your post should you wish to edit that out!

Interesting you say that, because I have some issues with some of the LG free themes from their smartworld store. Mainly with the notification panel. When there is a notification, the text is white same as the background. I am surprised on how they can mess up big time like that!

Hello , I downloaded Swift installer and I really like what it can do but there's only one thing that bugs me and I was wondering if anybody can help me out? Because it could just be an easy fix and I might be doing something wrong. But I was wondering when you seem your OS to anything and I use like the Android p notifications and all that when I open up an app the notification bar on the top stays there as an overlay my app does not go full screen? Does anybody know how to fix that or if I have a setting off somewhere? Any help is always appreciated thank you
NVM figured it out thanks

What happens when there's a market app update? Do you have to reapply the theme for that app? Or wait for the swift team to release an update?

I'm not entirely sure why anyone would be having problems with swift installer. I've been using it for a couple of months now and while sometimes an update would break an app causing it to force close all you have to do is uninstall the theme for said app until swift updates again. Otherwise it always updates and never causes me phone wide crashing or formatting.
Can't get pitch black BG on apps
When I select the background color from the six default ones for apps I choose the pitch black one (bcoz i got an amoled screen) and install the overlays and reboot then i open the apps and the background is like dark grey
Any help? I don't know what i did wrong.
Thanks
Grey background here despite choosing pitch black
Despite uninstall all overlays and reinstalling and reboot... No pitch black background but grey backgrounds for all apps.. Plz help how to solve

Assuming you have a Samsung phone, this problem occurs if you have a Samsung Theme applied when you install the Swift Installer overlays.
You should un-install all overlays, reboot, use Samsung Themes and apply the default theme, then re-install the overlays with Swift Installer, reboot, and all will be AMOLED inky black.
Can someone help? After pie update application instalation both from Google store and other sources stuck and never install.I can't update or install any app! It's really frustrating.Has anyone else has this problem?

Wipe cash partition, every time when you want update...i have same problem and don want to do factory reset...
samsung pushed really an buggy update to users so that they can stop asking about pie timeframe. After updating to Pie s9 is really useless.

Factory reset seems like a huge risk now.I mean what if that doesn't fix the problem and u ll be stuck with a useless phone where u cant download any apps or do anything
Maybe you habe disabled any important System-App for installation. Try to enable all apps and install the Updates again
Put it into battery saving mode...then put it back to normal mode...that usually fixes the no update to playstore ect
so far cleared cache, removed account, still can't seem to update preloaded samsung apps from the galaxy apps store (yes, cleared the app data as well). Google Play Store working fine though...
Update: Seems it was my work wifi, worked at home. Weird
Anyone know how to change the transition effects on the s9+ after the pie update?
Driving me insane trying to find it.
All i've found is a setting to turn it on & off again in biometrics settings! I still can't change what style i want? Any help with this would be very welcomed please.
Also, i want to change the default light to dark theme setting, but it's telling me i can't change it whilst i have a theme on from the theme store! How dumb is that! Good one samsung! I can only have a dark settings theme, without using a theme from your store!! How stupid!!
Anyone got a solution/way round these settings, please comment.
Ty..=]

This part actually makes sense. The default theme is probably built so that it can change between both light and dark. Specifically built themes would not have a need for this functionality as the theme is already built the way the themer wanted it to look.

Yes i get that, but It's the "night mode" setting that chages the notifications and settings background, from light to dark that i want to keep dark, when i have a theme from the store set.
I have only managed to find one theme in the store that lets me keep the night mode active. But i am not that keen on it. Just was hoping there was a way to keep the night mode atvive when a theme was set.
Do you know where the transition settings are on pie at all? Want to change the style, but now can't find the setting?

Just apply the default theme and dark mode switch activates. Guess it's not compatible due to Google/Samsung implementation

Thank you for your reply, yes i have noticed that i can change it to dark node ONLY when set to the default theme.
Seems a little silly really, why put that option there & give you the option of changing the theme as well, only to discover, it wont work with a chosen theme!
Like i mentioned, there is one theme i have found that works with night mode, but i'm not to keen on it.
Shame!
Ok so has anyone found the page transition settings yet?
Customisation is key to Android, as everyone knows, but when you are limited to only certain customisations, it kinda defeates the object!?
So, starting to switch my V20 (996US on Alpha-Omega Oreo ROM) to dark mode.
Many apps now have a switch.
I've installed the Dark Mode app to get some more apps into dark mode.
Installed the LG G8 Black Theme in the system settings to get the system settings, default dialer, etc. into dark mode.
What other dark mode tweaks am I missing?
For example, how do we get dark mode gmail in Oreo?
How do we get the notifications darker?
You should use a theme that has built in dark notifications. Most mark bencze themes that are dark mode have that option.

I haven't heard of any free ones that do. Out of the paid ones, here are some specific ones mentioned by someone on the Subreddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/lgv20/comments/arfj5n/anybody_know_any_other_lg_dark_oreo_themes_that/
Also, one member recently discussed trying to get dark notifications with Substratum themes in the past but having trouble:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/lg-v20-reveiw-modding-guide-mid-2019-t3930639/page9
It's a shame there's no easy free way to darken the notifications.
Any other tips for darkening the phones? (Like Gmail and a few other apps)?
I use muify, a worthwhile paid app, that you can color however you like, it's a sister app of Bottom Quick Settings that does the same.
Youz might be interested to know dark mode uses more power on an LCD because dark mode had to block out the white backlight behind the lcd. The opposite is the case on an OLED because it doesn't have a backlight : )

Thanks for these suggestions and for the tips about the backlight.
The only free theme with dark notifications that I could find for the LG V20 - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lge.wsdeveloper.black.mios
Mios Black
It's quite nice overall!

Got the same unavailable message. Strange to see a free LG theme being blocked in the U.S. I don't think there are any other sources than the external sites you see when searching. FWIW, I've used several apps from the APKPure site in the past without problems. I keep one of my spare V20s in a "minimized" configuration with no Google accounts attached and all apps either sideloaded or installed through Titanium Backup.
And in case anyone missed it, someone in that review/modding guide thread mentioned the free Substratum theme Sai's Oreo Theme that also has dark notifications (and it's not geoblocked in the U.S.).

Umm.. dunno, have you checked Yalp store/Aurora store, if they allow you to access it?
