Change Email Background to Dark? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I am XXUAMDK firmware and the native email background is greyish. I much preferred it black as it was on S3. Is there a way to change it? I search and found nothing but a Note II mod here:

But ths file does not exist on my S4.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Settings colour change from black background to white or light colour

Is there a way, on my Samsung S4 Stock ROM 4.3, to change, under settings, the colour for the background from white on black to black on white?
Thank you
Saulo
Using Settings > Accessiility > Negative Colors would in theorysolve my problem...but then this new settings applies to everywhere, to each screen, NOT ONLY to settings...this makes making pictures and movies horrible (pics have reversed colors)...
Any idea?
I have vision issues, so having a black blackground and white characters causes me not to clearly see...
Thanks for any suggestions
I would easily switch to a cooked ROM which has the background colour for settings inverted...By the way, it seems that HTC, iPhone and most major provider choose black characters on white background.. Why then Samsung has choose the oppostite?

Probably because of the s4 screen type... Its amoled, so when it shows black, it actually has the pixel off, thus saving power.

Dear Benny
Yes, probably,. However how is it possible in the world nobody else has the glaring problem that I do experience? I do not want to give up Samsung and return to iPhone just because the apple device have white background, right? there must be a workout...
Thank you

You can blame samsung all you want but in actuality its the carrier you bought the device from, AT&T uses white background setting in most of their roms while Rogers uses Black.
Don't like the background colour, switch to a custom rom/different carriers rom and get white settings.
You can easily find out what colour the settings menus are in various roms by looking at screen shots of the rom prior to installing it.
Thank you so much for your info...
Unfortunately I use a S4: it is UNLOCKED, but it is i9502 (dual SIM), and there is ONLY one cooked ROM available (from SVA, ROM 5.5). Which is excellent by the way.
It has black background.
I am very happy about the ROM. I would not want to change to another cooked ROM. And even if I want, there it NO alternative English ROM to support dual SIM i9502 Samsung S4.
Is there a way that a NON-Tech-sawy like me can accomplish the change of background from black to white or clear? Yes, I cannot do programming, but I am able to fully implement rooting procedures and I know basic Unix commands and terminal operations..
thanks
Saulo

[Q] Galaxy S4 Stock Keyboard on Cyanogenmod 11

I've looked all over the interwebs for a download of the regular dark touchwiz keyboard for the Galaxy S4.
After flashing to CM11 I really miss the top numbers row and the emoji button, so my question is:
Does anyone have an .apk or anything to get the fabulous Galaxy S4 keyboard back to my phone?
Thanks in advance!

Watch the youtube video with code xULr7YZlkNY (I cant post complete URL) : youtube dot com/watch?v=xULr7YZlkNY, there I found how to config a pretty close version of the stock s4 keyboard (with numbers row) in CM11. Hope It helps you!

White apps or dark apps

I'm sorry if this has been ask before..
I do work with the note 3 and was hoping that maybe I might be able to help with the T mobile Note 4.
Can someone please verify that the international variant of the note 4 has either a white contacts (dialer), phone (in call ui), mms or a dark version?
Thank you for any help.
It has a white theme.

A lot of work.. I was gonna try to invert them, but then I found that not only has samsung gone with their way of qmgs, but they also decided to screw everyone over with some type of file called astc that can't be decompiled
I found a workaround, but it's really up to you on how you use it, but...
You can set your home button to invert the colours with a triple tap. The setting is in accessibility. This is really handy when browsing the web, but not so much with "in and out" app use. I'm almost certain you can get tasker to invert apps using this method for specific apps you need inverted, and then return to normal when you exit those apps.

[Q] Font Size / Settings

Handset; SGNIII
Model; SM-N9005
ROM; Stock N9005XXUENE3
Ver; 4.4.2
So the first thing is the notification font size.
I don't know why, but it's huge.
Edited density in buildprop, no change.
I installed a 3rd party app to modify.
It did the job everywhere else, except notifications.
Also sub text in settings is a bit bigger than regular.
This is all clear in the screens attached.
Q; How do I modify the notification font.
Q; How do I specifically modify the grey settings sub text.
Along the way, I've somehow acquired an S5 style settings UI.
My NIII settings - while ugly - contain my stylus settings.
Now I have none.
The S5 mod shown in screens isn't enabled.
It's also only for quick settings and recents.
I haven't made any other systemUI changes besides colour theme.
How is this possible.

This don't look one STOCK ROM of SM-N9005 with android 4.4.2 for sure or you installed some settings/appearance mods. Reflash stock rom for solve your problems.

If I wanted my ROM to look stock, I wouldn't have half a dozen mods installed to modify it's appearance, would I.
And FYI, "reflash stock" is not a blanket answer for every time you otherwise have none, you simply just don't reply at all.
Can anyone else who actually has a clue point me in the right direction to reduce the font density in notification text and the grey settings sub text?

The sizes don't look so bad - pretty normal I thought. You could try installing textdroider-dpi and see if that helps. Other than that, I'd back up all my data and do a factory reset - should get rid of the S5 theme issue.
@Wobzy try to adjust dpi for systemui using app setting and restart phone.

Dark Background and Light Text without inverting colors in settings

I'm one of those lucky people who gets chronic migraines. The primary trigger for me is bright light... especially looking at bright, white screens with black text. Consequently, I've spent quite a bit of time trying to invert screen color... which is fine unless you are looking at pictures or video.
I know that I can change my Note 4 settings to invert the colors, but that simply isn't practical. I've been able to get some of the modifications I need by swapping out applications. For instance, I use Chomp SMS and have found a great plug-in for firefox that inverts the color without inverting the images. I've also been able to make some system mods through Xposed using Wanam's module. But these are only bandaids. I'm really looking for something that will work system-wide, for light text and dark background.
My phone is a Sprint Galaxy Note 4 running Lollipop 5.1.1. Does anyone have any suggestions? Would upgrading to Marshmallow help? Or how about changing out the ROM?
If nothing that would work systemwide, does anyone have a suggestion for an email app that will invert the text color? The stock Samsung email app is really tough for me.
Any help will be much appreciated.
