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.

Awesome thankyou
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?

I got it, link in the exposed module for apk. but still how to compile? Do I have to use pc for 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.
Hello!
I’m considering buying this phone and I’m heavily into customization, I have a few questions about what you can do to S10 Lite to personalize the experience and how far it’ll let me change things before I have to resort to root or custom ROMs that are risky and missing for now.
First, about the themes, I found two good customization apps for Samsung devices, Good Locks and #hex Installer, can you use together?
What’s the extent of their customization, using both or the best of them if you can only have one working, can you:
1. Have a custom accent color system wide? So the same color for toggles, volume slider, highlights, colored text, notifications, quick settings etc/ like on stock android?
2. Can you change quick settings buttons background shape?
3. Are you able to switch recents view to a vertical stack of cards with the clear button bottom center?
4. Can you change icons for individual apps with stock launcher?
5. Change the navigation bar height, button size and spacing between them?
6. I like two fonts, Ubuntu and Google Product Sans, is any of them available?
7. Where can I check Good Locks availability in my region? Also, can it become unavailable with updates?
8. Do 3rd party customization apps from play store work? Kwgt, Custom Volume Sliders, Custom Navigation Bar etc.?
Next, I have a few questions regarding general usability:
9. Can you get rid of google assistant/bixby? They can be installed, I just don’t want to ever see them or have them running when not launched.
10. Does the Always on Display work well, is it actually always on?
11. Can you have the AoD show 3rd party app icons with a notification counter?
12. Does it have any problems with 3rd party launchers, Nova specifically?
13. Have you tried the Non-root version of YouTube Vanced? Does it work without issues? Can you install it with MicroG and log in?
I’ve also heard that Samsung’s OneUI likes to kill apps and prevent them from running in the background.
14. Did you have any issues with widgets getting stuck, becoming unresponsive, not updating and not working properly in general because they get killed by the system, did you have any issues like this?
15. Did you have any problems with 3rd party app notifications? Are you getting notifications from 3rd party messaging, email and other apps? Do they still come in when the screen is locked and the phone is in deep sleep?
I’m sorry in advance, I know it’s a lot but I’m very used to having the phone set up my way and I don’t want to spend this kind of money only to have to immediately root it or put up with a phone that doesn’t work properly for me.
Lol.. This is huge. I'll reply to some.
7 Good lock is working fine. In my country is not available but no problem. You can download the apk, everything works. If you know what good lock can do, then most of your questions (1,2) are replied as you can change notifications colors etc, at least what good lock is letting you change. Also 3 yes, with good lock.
5 by changing dpi through developer setting you can shrink everything so shrink navigation bar. Other navigation bar apps also works.
8 kwgt etc working fine.
9 yes. Froze them and anythings else you want by package disabler pro app.
10 works fine. You select if you want it or not.
12 nova works fine. I actually can't answer about samsung launcher as i always use nova. If you use it, then most of your questions also being answered as you know what nova can do.
13 yes to all, i use it always. (I use the hacked completely black amoled version, not the gray one, last version).
14 I have a problem actually with 1 widget, eWeather. Is somehow change size some times, and when go to its nova page, it changes ok again.. But i haven't problems with any other.
15 I don't have any problem with notifications but phone is a bit strange. It has 2 deep sleep apps somehow and need to untick the apps you want to have notifications to both of them. It reminds me xiaomi
It is good as due to this probably it has amazing battery. But it is a bit aggressive i think. Some times i lost some notifications but it was probably my fault, I'm not sure. Anyway i don't think there is a problem there. But better have more answers to this.
My opinion is that the phone is fantastic especially in battery, but its all about what everyone needs more.
Perhaps my video there, the comment, some hacks, the description and xda link there may help you, read it. I updating everything useful i find by writing new comments there, so anyone interested check it by time to time. Most things i post there are working to most samsung phones.
https://youtu.be/VGiItteDcfw
Again, I can answer a few. Mine is completely stock (not rooted). I may have needed to change settings when I bought the phone, but I don't recall which ones.
9: I don't know about getting rid of the assistants, but I've never even noticed that they're present, so they're unobtrusive.
10: Yes, Always On Display does what you expect. I have mine set to switch off overnight, but that's entirely optional.
11: Yes, I get notification counters on things like Aquamail.
12: I've been using Nova since the day I bought it. No problems.
14/15: For context, I get annoyed by these kinds of issues, and I won't buy another Huawei phone for exactly these reasons. On the S10 Lite, as currently configured, I get all notifications and widgets update as expected (agenda, Google Keep etc.), so I'm happy enough. I had to turn off 'Adaptive Power Saving', 'Adaptive Battery' and 'Put unused apps to sleep' to achieve that, though, and I've added a number of apps to 'Apps that won't be put to sleep'.

I don't understand why.. One file name has the word "black" so i dont think i mistaken the files..
Try setting, go to general, display, and then choose the black theme therel settings - vanced setting - display settings (or something like this, i translate from my language), and there is also a black theme setting there. Although i does think this is the problem..
Try also the new version here :
(The specific link it's not pirate or something, it is only for vanced hack)
https://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?f=429&t=3888296&hilit=Vanced
You must install no root, black arm64 version. I think you need sai application from playstore to install the file you will download.

Is there a way (or an app) that can enable Dark Mode also for 3rd Party Apps.
I have just upgraded from a Xiaomi Mi Max 3 (Stock MUI12.0.1 Android 10) and its Dark Mode has this feature so you can select the apps that you also want to exhibit Dark Mode. This works excellently. I've attached pictures showing it working for PayPal though you can select which apps you want it to work with or not.
Is there any way to replicate this on EMUI 10?
There isn't an app, but for me, all apps that support dark mode automatically switch to it. There was a couple of exceptions but those I switched to dark mode from their respectable settings.

Thanks for the response. From reading in other Huawei forums I saw that this feature to force apps that do not necessarily have an in-built dark mode was actually in the beta version of EMUI10 but then they removed it in the final version.
This is the feature I was referring to.
EMUI 10 dark mode apply everywhere
Hello Guys, i found this video where someone is showing the new dark mode on EMUI 10. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1enMV-ebGo&feature=youtu.be There is a "Apply everywhere" option in the settings right under the dark mode, but it's not there...

Hi there! I'm looking for a custom rom that has the following:
- Android 11 or less (Android 12 is very heavy ) - ( I was using LOS 19.1 by zeelog with A12 and the truth is that the phone suffered a lot with certain apps. Android 12 is definitely not for this phone).
- A good "one handed mode" like original miui rom.
- Stable and smooth and without many bugs. That the features of this phone work without problems. (fingerprint, led notifications, etc)
- Something customizable
- Some built-in tool like closing applications with security (fingerprint, password)
I was looking through the CR "resurrection remix" had some of these features but nowhere did I find if it had "one handed mode".
ArrowOs is another CR that generates me doubt, but I do not know if it is very stable and if it has some features that I need especially the "one handed mode".
I discarded MIUI custom roms because the last one I had (original) was being too slow, I do not want to imagine a more updated CR.

You're absolutely right, Android 12 is too much that mido can handle. Pick A11 or A10.
My all-time favourite custom rom is crDroid - very long time in the market, good opinion. Smooth, stable and customizable. Unfortuanetly I don't think you will find any rom with MIUI-like one-handed mode. There was an Xposed module mimicking this behaviour (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.zhougy0717.xposed.niwatori&hl=en_US&gl=US) but it's long gone I think

Yes, but it's obsolete and Im not sure on which Android version it was working fine... But there are some nice alternatives to one-handed mode which doesn't require root. Have you tried something like this perhaps?
Quick Cursor: One-Handed mode - Apps on Google Play
Makes it easier to use large smartphones with one hand by using a cursor.

I installed the first app, also the xposed module to make it work and it worked only when I opened the app, then when I exited the app it didn't work anymore, I don't know what I've been doing wrong (I'm a newbie) or if the app really doesn't work well for android 11.
But the second application can replace although it is not the same obviously, but to get out of the way serves.

Nice, I'm glad you like it. Sometimes it's even better than one handed mode since you can reach everything while still keeping big screen. I use something similar but root-based, although I'm on MIUI and still have one handed mode

Thanks
The tablet received a major update the day before yesterday. It was 4.0 GB in size, bumped Android version from 11 to 12. Otherwise there were almost no good changes.
Changes I noticed:
Android Version 11 > 12
like on the phones no dark mode settings for individual apps
Material You support (but also like on phones no settings)
Security patch to October 2022
Launcher:
appicons change their positions during the update
grid is no longer adjustable & changes automatically (!) after display rotation (4x6, 6x4), therefore the icons also move
there is a large margin to the left and to the right, both orientations
many app names must be abbreviated with "..."
the new widgets are finally here, BUT this restricts all other widgets in size & position (There may be gaps that are large enough but can only be filled with apps)
Notifications and Control Center:
background Blur for notifications and quick settings: "simple-blur" > "real-glass-blur"
the notifications are displayed in a smaller space in landscape (like phone in portrait)
thus also more abbreviations than before
the control center has been updated and now looks more like (a fake of) iOS
One thing is striking: some things that were previously adapted to the display size are now more optimized for phones. This can be seen from the fact that, for example, the notifications are only in the middle of the screen and look more like a "portrait on landscape". As a result, the content no longer fits in completely and is abbreviated to "..." for most notifications. Something similar can also be observed in the launcher: The icons always have a large distance to the edge, they are so close together that the app names have to be abbreviated with "...".
Would it be possible that the base of the ROM was changed to that of the phones? I don't know how to check that, but I think in this case it would be possible to release the xiaomi.eu ROM for the tablet.
So don't update yet right? My Pro wifi version still stuck on 13.0.10.
I would ditch MIUI altogether if you're on the Elish (WiFi only) model.
I'm using Arrow OS (A12) and this is just 100x more smooth than the stock MIUI ROMs.
It BAFFLES me that this is the case.... team that makes the device should be able to optimise it as much as possible, yet some random built ROM from source is far superior. Sheer incompetence....
There's a Telegram group if anyone is interested.

I would say it's a matter of getting used to it. After a few weeks I no longer noticed the disadvantages. On the contrary, I'm happy about (the reintroduced) real glass blur and Material You support (especially Gboard).
The fact that the app icons in the launcher always switch between 6x4 and 4x6 (screenshot attached) is also the case with the new 12.5 tablet. If you want a pen/keyboard and up-to-date security patches, there is no way around it.
Unfortunately, I discovered something else (Does not have to be related to the update): if you leave Firefox, just to answer a message, for example, everything is reloaded. Means when I read an article I end up at the beginning, when I pause at a film I'm back at the beginning, if I want to add a photo to this post I need 5+ tries because the page will refresh in the time of choosing... Unfortunately, adding a lock to the app in the app overview does not change anything.

Regular tablet mode, but I would expect that means your hardware should work as you expect. End of the day, you could easily flash back to stock.
