Hi. I installed P beta, and in the display setting I saw the theme that can choose. There's light, dark and auto. Before locking back the bootloader the dark worked great. Now, after system was reset, dark mode doesn't seem to do anything. Quick settings is still white... Should I do something more?
Doesn't work for me either I'm afraid.
It only works if u have a dark wallpaper. Then it works
It's still broken in the official release... what sort of idiot developers or QA people can't test and catch simple bugs like this?
It would take maybe an hour to test various android settings to make sure they were all functioning as expected.

Apparently some people have a hard time understanding wallpaper selection shouldn't effect anything unless you're on AUTO.
If you pick DARK or LIGHT it should default to that mode regardless of what your wallpaper is.
Capiche?

If that doesn't get the point across nothing will!
I've seen a lot of people having this same issues on Reddit.
It's working for me but my background is totally black.
Set the theme to dark and the restart the phone. That's how it started working on my phone.

This is an issue which has been present for months. Believe me my phone has been restarted multiple times since the first P Beta, up to and including there current release. Does nothing. Substratum themes also have zero effect. Magisk 16.74 here.
I found the fix! Flip the theme to dark theme in the settings and then install this all black wallpaper below. That will turn everything to the dark theme. Once everything is dark you can switch the wallpaper to any other wallpaper and it should stay in the dark theme. Hope this helps!

What I noticed about the dark theme is that it changes the pull down menu, app drawer, power button selection and volume. It does not change the settings menu, those all stay light. Very weird. It should be all or nothing. Come on Google, get it together!

Live wallpapers cannot be used if you want to trigger the dark theme. That's the reason why it's not working for many. Has to be a dark image.

The wallpaper, no matter which one I apply gets dim, like there's a dark overlay on top of the wallpaper. At first I though it was an EMUI Launcher feature but no, the same thing happens in nova launcher as well. I googled it and just found one or two threads on it with no clear answer but it feels like it's something that's present in every Huawei phone working with EMUI.
So, does anyone here have the knowledge of how to get rid of it (other than rooting/flashing a custom rom) and if not then what's the process or system app of Huawei that's doing this? Also, doesn't it bother mass Huawei users?
Thanks!

Thanks for replying, are you sure about this? Look how the other people responded like they don't have any idea of this. Also recently I noticed that it happens to only some wallpaper, the system wallpapers that are pre-installed in emui don't get dim.
My wallpapers are bright and clear without any dark overlay.

I confirm that same issue on Huawei MediaPad M3. This is so frustrating :/
I purchased the theme back on marshmallow because of the transparency/liquid theme. Now, that has long since been removed.
Does anyone know of any themes that would make a suitable replacement? I'm on a slightly older build of pure Nexus Android version is 7.1.1
I already have a navigation theme that I enjoy. The statusbar icons in mono are nice and simplistic.
Open to any and all recommendations though.
I'd prefer to stay away from paid themes, since this isn't the first time I've had a support issue.

MultiUI or Greyce are pretty good for me. I got sick of the "black" themes. My question, how is it that no one has made a grey matte theme?! Or even something similar to Suave back on CM9 AND CM10?! Man that theme was awesome!

Check out the theme called Compound by Daniel Schott. It's on my consideration list. It looks pretty good and has some nice grey. I really want a nice transparent one like liquid mono. I don't really like any solid color themes. I'm about to look at your recommendations now.
Edit: ya, nether of those really has the look I'm trying for. Thanks for the recommendations, regardless.

I just downloaded compound too. I'm digging it so far! Nearly everything seems themed. Still trying to figure out why a select few menus have white background though. Maybe it's just the style.

What rom are you on? I'm actually getting black font colour on grey UI. Was hoping there would be a distinction change to white font for those situations but he might not be done finding everything as yet.

I'm on a slightly older version of Pure Nexus. Most stuff seems consignee consistent. I had 80¢ from Google opinions, so I figured it was worth the small price. I'm happy with it, for the price I got it for.

How has everybody's experience been with Substratum and apps? I love the theming capability, but keep on having certain apps force close. This is my first attempt with Substratum so I am sure I am doing something wrong, but not quite sure where to look. I have ensured that apps are all updated, and I choose the correct version on theme application, but I still end up with certain apps crashing. For example, I was using swift black (very nice btw) and Google photos and facebook messenger would force close. Is it best to only theme system stuff and leave apps alone? Or is swift black to blame? Or am I doing something wrong like I suspect?
It depends greatly on the themers, but can be easily broken by an app update. Themers like de Jan, Niklas Schnettler, Jeremy Beck, I could go on... Are very thorough and quick about updating themes. One approach is to Apply all the Overlays, as I'm sure you've done, but if an app crashes, just go back into Substratum and reapply the specific app overlay. If this doesn't help (oh, and reboot) then remove, uninstall or disable that specific app overlay. I'd say I probably have a an 80% success rate on all Overlays working perfectly on a given theme. (I have maybe 15 apps over and above stock) You could also just not theme apps, and only system and the base stock apps. It will still be gorgeous...
Try these: Outline, Mono, (anything from DeJan or Kohlewrrk) Spectrum, Aligned)

I wonder if that is what it is. I may have to try being more meticulous since I cannot fix it unless attached to a computer. Thank you for the reply. Have you noticed any issues with system theming?

Anyone know a theme that centers clock that currently works
I want to be able to theme my phone without rooting, and sure, the 1.99 for Andromeda is no big deal. However, a lot of other themes (like Archangel's navbar app) are paid as well, so I'd be spending more in addition to paying first to be able to theme. Are there any other themes with transparent navbars, or just any other way so that I wouldn't be spending more on top of the first price?
Currently this no longer works with 8.1 Beta until the code is updated by the developer..

Just so you guys realize, a nav bar without any pixels (total black) will actually leave a burn-in of that exact size. In order to limit that, you need to fill it with some color other than red (red pixels don't wear).

Heya,
Just wondering, if you had to put a simple, but complete (full UI) dark theme on your Note 9... which one would it be (that you can find on the default samsung theme app).
I always use material dark or material black on my Samsung phones.

You can use substratum with andromeda
If you want a COMPLETE dark theme, you'll want to get Swift Black.
I like Britzer. It's a very dark cool gray with Pixel blue accents and is very lightweight. For icons I use Pixelize.
Still in setup mode

I had been using these on my s9+ but it started to get real wonky in the last few months, to the point where it wasn't worth it and I removed it completely.
Do you guys just turn off auto updates on those apps and then deal with the annoyance of having to confirm that those aren't auto updates every time your other apps update? It seemed like a lot of times, my "don't auto update" apps would somehow end up auto updating again at some point, and it would frequently break the main google app, google search bar, youtube, etc.
Still a lot better than the days you'd have to hook it back up to a PC to run andromeda, but a hassle none the less and having the main google app constantly break on me was a bad enough experience that I just went back to a dark samsung theme. Curious to see others' experience with it

I turned off auto updates in google play settings and will update apps together with "Swift for Samsung" theme so that the apps won't crash. The update cycle of the theme is frequent enough (atleast once a week). My expereince with the swift themes is really good as it themes many 3rd party apps unlike a samsung theme.

Beside Messages and Contacts Google now pushed first public beta of Phone app which has dark theme enabled.
My Taimen's Phone app was just updated to version 26.0.221539659 publicbeta.
Opening animation is still white and there is a little lag when pressing Recent tab, but it is a good start.
It looks that Google is really trying to implement dark themes to applications, which are mostyl used, after they shoot themselves into their knee by admitting / stated that dark themes are saving battery...

Dark theme is an option for people who don't like shining white on their eyes and not just to save battery. Remember its an "option". Nobody forced you to use it. No one will buy and use a outdated device and OS just for dark theme.
