every time I google this, the iOS way stands out. a friend has an iphone and the system color inversion is awesome for night use. however, it seems that google, in their infinite wisdom, has decided to go holo light (which, imo, is awful) and leave no good way to use the system in a dark room/at night.
is there a way to implement this? maybe through xposed? or a theme changer theme (but it'd have to affect all apps, user and system).
I'm sitting in bed in a dark room at night and I have no problems looking at my phone. If I wanted to inverted web pages that exists, otherwise why would I want to view blue people?

With xposedframework xthemeengine or theme choser you can apply lots of dark themes. Then, you can use system interface during day and dark theme at night

but those themes have to be coded for every app... or for example, take chrome: i want websites like google and xda (with their white backgrounds) inverted. yes, i can use tapatalk and theme google search, but i just want to tap a button and invert EVERYTHING

I'm sure you all know our Vibrant's SUPERAMOLED uses much less/no power when dysplaying black and a TON of power when having to dysplay white pixels.
You also all know that most websites are white with black text. My idea is to invert this in browsers such as DolphinHD, the default Android Browser, and whatever other browsers there are.
How would it work? Ideally as a browser plug in (DolphinHD already supports addons) that inverts background color on websites if it detects white and inverts text color to white. It would NOT touch any other color nor the images, video, animations on websites. Just the static background would be black if it's white by default and the text would be white.
That way, a lot of power will be conserved, even on full screen brightness.
Since I do not have the time or expertise to do this, I am just offering the idea for a dev to look into if interested.
Good idea but what about black within photos and such? that'd be insane.
Umm...Inverting colors in photos would just ruin the pictures I think.
I was talking about making the addon look for the html/php/etc tags that specify color for the background and text of a page upon load and alter them before passing it to the browser to load.
Just change the white background to black, and white text to black. No need to invert colors.
Some one must be able to do this... come on!
Looking desperately for the same funcionality!
I think that is a great Idea, I was thinking about that. In the app youverison
It's a bible app. They have a low light setting, turns background black and font white.. I was thinking how great that would be for web browsing.. it seems like an impossible task.
Somebody posted a thread about this a while back. I would love to see oit done, easier on the eyes as well as battery. Steel had this option for one version a while back, or it might have been Dolphin, so it can be done. Adilko and most of the Ereaders have this functionality.

I am using Galaxy S I9000 and I would love such an app. One of my favt website popurls.com is one such site, uses black background and blue text. Also Blackle is a website which is Google Search with black background. Gr8 idea. Wish some developers are reading it.
There should b a quick button for inverting the colors. So that it can b turned off when not required.
I got in touch with the DolphinHD team, and feedback looks promising. Probably I will write the add-on myself so stay tuned!
Thread moved to General.
Have you tried using cyanogen's screen rendering app? You can choose to render the screen in different colors my G1 has it. I can render the screen in red. I haven't seen this porter to the vibrant though.

I've tried ModernUI for substratum (it's free) and it's great except the notifications are missing text because the background is black and some of the text is black.
Is there any theme that makes everything (settings, notifications, etc) dark but preserves the text properly? Don't want to buy, refund, repeat for all the themes on the play store. May get banned? lol.

Substratum doesn't work on stock so I barely think op means stock rom.
Nuclear rom has full support for it though.
The stock rom has issues with substratum, but any third party rom that uses OMS will work with substratum. I use Dark DNA theme.
Also look out for Compound. It's paid but looks very clean and professional. You can also get dark or pitch black paired with a horde of other colors. It is the best dark theme I have used so far.

Unless something has changed (maybe they have), Substratum _does_ work on stock, in legacy mode.
Best if used to theme third party apps. It's generally not advisable to try and theme the Android System, SystemUI, or ROM/brand/carrier-specific apps and Settings on stock ROMs.
Plus it's a bummer that on some ROMs the notifications text is hardcoded black. Trying to darken the notifications doesn't work out too well.

Dark DNA is a good free dark theme, but I've found one spot with unreadable text - the prompt that asks you which browser to use when clicking a link has white-on-white text.

The theme compilation fails always, using RR
Hi guys,
So I've just installed the latest S8 update, which killed the color picker for the navbar and essentially gives you all white colors (Screenshot attached). Even if I use "Apply current theme", it's still white in some apps (e.g. Play Store, Instagram, Snapchat, Whatsapp many more). So I've downloaded "Navbar Apps" and it does the job of getting my navbar to a full black, but only sometimes. Im using a dark theme and have been using black navbars since they existed (why does Samsung even have white ones lolol) and navbar apps doesn't work 50% of the time and doesn't have the "ripple" animation when pressed, so I would really like a stable, solid black navbar. Any ideas? Thanks!
Same thing here...
The best thing would be to make it translucent IMO.

Lol, thanks that actually worked (although I had to sacrifice the ripple animation). Still looking for a more seamless way to fix this though. To anyone interested: here's how I set it up (Screenshot attached). Can't really notice the translucency, but it looks black and that's what I'm going for.
Cheers!
Hi all crazy people dishing out enough to buy a used car for a shiny new phone!!!
So...this thread is for ideas on how to improve (make as it should be) your Pixel 2XL...I'll start.
I enabled Developer options and set animations to 0.5X.
I enabled systemui tuner to turn off some icons in that cluttered status bar.
Why put an LED capable of so many colors on a phone and only have it blink green occasionally? Madness Google!!!
Light Manager went on first so I could have a charging and charged light as well as different colors for different apps.
Ooo...Google added a hidden trick that if you have black wallpaper (edges at least) then the app drawer background will also black out....what about all the other system apps Google?!!! And what? We have to add photos to black borders if we want them as wallpaper? I say thee NAY!
Rootless substratum - Andromeda to the rescue! Most themes work well on Oreo and you can have your dark UI back on everything...which as a side note blue tint does not show up on!
Once you get that up and running, I put Pitch Black theme on and also grabbed a center clock mod that works great!
Looking around for a circle battery mod that works and some way to mod the colors of the status bar icons. Oreo is being a pain for some themers.
A little more work and who needs root?
Anyone find a good mod to fix the color saturation? Or at least make Vivid Color switch do something?
So...what have you done? :highfive:
Great idea for a thread.
I had Nova Prime on mine with the Google Companion plug in to enable the Google swipe and it worked great to hide the dock at the bottom. Hopefully I will get nice one from Google tomorrow that's defect free.

Like any notification, just long press (hold on notification) and then choose block all notifications from this app.

Cool. In the past that would kill the LED as well if I remember. Guess that got that figured out.
Cool thread. And the light manager idea is great. I don't understand why Google doesn't have a charging LED.

Anyone having memory management issues? And has done something to improve it? Frequently getting redraws with only 6-10 apps open. :|
I originally had andromeda and substratum setup, naptime x (via adb), was using sprite to get center clock and colour options for the status and nav bars. Of course opted for nova launcher over pixel launcher!
OK, had the Oreo colorizer installed to improve the colors but then seen it using 2% battery after a full day...saw there was an update and after mashing update phone a 100 times finally sideloaded it! The saturated option is what I am used to and I think are great! I see some prefer just boosted...a compromise between boosted and saturated would be great.
Have gotten 3 days without charging the phone whereas at best I could make it 2 on the 6P! I may just stay unrooted if Substratum Andromeda would work a little better...takes like 10 tries sometimes to connect the ADB Andromeda script. And Pitch Black seems to update the theme almost everyday!
Loving this phone now!

As far as I know, the battery is completely drawn in Java so overlays are mods won't work, unless you do rooted mods

Usually we don't like telling people this but the connection of the phone to their Oreo device is based on the computer they used, for example, some of the Macs I tried kept disconnecting the ADB shell/disabling USB debugging and thus, disables the app - which gets understandably annoying.
I usually test on my main rig regarding Andromeda, and it's been running great with 5 devices attached at all times, including when they are disconnected.

Thanks Nicholas for all you do!!! I am sure Andromeda will only get better and it has been a blessing!!!
Thanks for the tip about the connection. My desktop is ancient...maybe I will try my new laptop and see how it works.

How are you getting 3 days on a charge? I'm getting just under 2. Not that I'm complaining, but 3 would be badass.
Awesome thread idea -- was tired seeing so many negative threads concerning this phone. This phone has been nothing but great to me.
Here's what I did!
- Global full immersive mode (did this AS SOON as i unboxed it, after unlocking bootloader)
- Completely disabled the nav bar (never pops up)
- LMT Pie Controls
- Dropped down the animations to .5x
- Nova Prime
- Light Flow/Manager
- Substratum (pitch black theme)
- Disabled apps I dont use (uninstalled the ones i could)
After applying Nov. update, I decided to Root for a few reasons:
- Complete removal of the nav bar (editing the build.prompt)
- Got tired of seeing ads in Chrome Beta
- Completely removed apps within the system I dont use instead of just disabling them (nice and slim)
This phone has been absolutely incredible - insanely smooth with zero lag. No burn-in (obviously due to my set up) or anything negative about this phone that has been reported.
More than likely going to be on the Nov. build until ROMs start come rolling in -- until then, im completely satisfied.

Nothing special at all! I am using it the same as I did my 6P. I do clear all recents 2 or 3 times a day to make sure nothing is running in the background. Have brightness about 40% with adaptive brightness on. Am on Google Fi so make sure to be on wifi most of the day....from experience poor signal is a big drain. I keep location on battery saving which really helps Google Fit and my smartwatch be more accurate. Probably could get even more out of it if I did not play a battery hog called Dice with Buddies.
Dumped the Oreo Colorizer app for sideloading the November update...Saturated is my lobster!!!!
Anyone find a circle battery mod that works yet?
Loving my 2xl so far, aside from not being able to find a glass screen protector that lasts more than 2 days without dust under it!
Running sideloaded Nov. update,
Magisk 14.4 rooted
light manager is a must! (different color leds for work/personal app notifications)
substratum swift black
and good ol adaway to keep the ads at bay.
Would love a circle clock mod
and would KILL for a volume adjustment mod (set notification and ringtone to separate levels)

I read multiple places that the dark discover feed has to be implemented by google server side. IF thats the case then how come pixel launcher has it ? Does anyone have a dark google feed with nova right now? drives me crazy tahts the onyl not dark part of my phone.
What link to click?
If you use a dark wallpaper then the Google Feed is automatically supposed to switch to dark mode. Try to see if changing your wallpaper to something darker helps
Use substratum (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=projekt.substratum) and swiftblack theme (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brit.swiftblack.layers) ... I have all Google apps black (except trips, pay and measure)

If using a dark background worked, I doubt the question would be here. I have this launcher on this phone, and even with a solid black background, Discover is still white. All signs point to it only working on Pixel launcher, for some reason. What that reason is besides someone with design control at Google being painfully stupid.
Notifications and Google apps, if these were dark I could totally like Android. Least the OP6T can get very dim at night.
I do got to say I switched to lawnchair and it works just fine now. all other launchers cept cpl did not including nova prime. Still feel is not a google serverside thing.
