I'm considering pre-ordering the Galaxy S4 for Verizon but I've been noticing something odd. The international reviews show a firmware with A white keyboard, and consistent white menu/app backgrounds throughout. The US versions seem to have the black backgrounds for the settings menus and gallery apps, dark keyboard, but other apps such as messaging, contacts and dialer are white themed. Is there an option to change that? It just seems inconsistent to have some apps dark and some apps light. Perhaps a custom ROM will bring a more uniform theme.
On my S4 it's all black, didn't see any white yet, don't think any S4 has black/white mixed .

My S4 (AT&T) has the white contacts, dialer, and messaging...and everything else is dark. Wish I could change this somehow but there doesn't seem to be any options.

Installed a rooted version of the gingerbread OTA update and noticed that the menu (home screen, menu button) still is white. I thought Gingerbread had a white on black style and not the black on white? Can this be changed? I was really looking forward to that. I hate black on white color schemes.
Sense is white, while aosp gbread is black
What we need is a Themer! I'm with you, I switch all apps to night view. What I REALLY want (since on CM7, already white on black) is themed Google Voice, Google Reader and Gmail!

Boo. I like most of sense, just dont like that. Maybe I'll try a asop rom one of these days.
Hi, just simple question. How can I setup black background for all ROM apks that doesnt have their own background?
I tried Omega 5.0, Wanam 1.2, prerooted MF2 ROM and all of these have very dark grey colour backgroung in settings, contacts, messaging etc. Before MEA (e.g. on ME2 I used quite long) there was 100% black background (with well known smearing efect which doesnt bother me so much). So, sammy changed the background from black to dark grey for eliminating smearing efect and to shut our mouth up THX for advice I think many of us love our AMOLED display with true blacks and hate samsung for these cheap tricks!
Here are screenshot, if you cant see the difference, just use the pipette (colour picker) in your favourite photo editing program and observe what colour it truly is...
I just recently got my Note 3 last week through At&t and I'm highly satisfied. I have a question that I have not found the answer to yet. The phone, contacts, and message screens are predominantly white with black font. I kind of have a hard time with this due to my bad eyes. I can see better with a black background with white font. Is there a way to change these screens to black? I have watched some YouTube videos and see people with black backgrounds And White font in these screens. Help please.

i have a n9005 branded voda phone.
its overall colour re dailer, messages ,contacts is standard a darkish blue /black with white letters.
so it seems it a carrier thing .?( your colour white with black font or did you by accident enable a wrong settings ?)
one thing, have you tried to go.....settings /device/accessibility then scroll down to negative colours (reverse the colour of screen )
if i tick it my dark screen will be reversed to white etc..etc untick and i have darkscreen with white lettering
there is also other very good settings on that page eg..font size ...short cut
see screenshot ..have you tried this ?
good luck .
Can anybody please tell me if theres a way to get my yotaphone 2 (black) to invert its colours or display white text on a black background on the EPD?
Basically I would like to have my phone function in the same way as the yotaphone white's do, i.e in a 'night mode' style display.
All help will be appreciated

Hello
Not sure of what you are looking for. You can always invert the black & white in Yota reader, but That's the only thing I know. If you want to invert the whole epd screen all the time, I have no clue.
Yep im trying to invert the EPD all the time like it is on the white version of the phone found in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYThtveI8iQ
Would it not be possible to flash the white versions firmware to my phone?

I have done that and it changes nothing about the display, my phone is rooted, do you think that might be affecting the white theme from working?
When you load the 'white theme' doe s it invert the colours/give you white text on black background?

Ok, so we have 2 g950f's one in midnight black, one in orchid grey. Both updated to the latest firmware both unlocked with fresh installs on but both showing different themes etc.
Is there any way to force the grey to think it's the black model to enable the default black theme with black status bar etc.. like is it csc dependant or a setting when the phone is setting itself up that forces it to install a set colour theme etc..
The black phone we have looks so much nicer when using it than the grey does.
Cheers for any help or advice anyone could shed..
I've searched Google but not really had any look other than 3rd party themes, which I wanted to try stay away from if I could help it.
