Best Dark Theme - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods

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.

samsung theme store. search for them, you will find them.

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.

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.

Where to download Britzer?

I really like "sd_Black" by [aire] combined with the Icon pack "New Year Glow Icon Pack" by Navin Rai.

No you don't.

There is an adb command to change the navigation bar color. I'd do a search for it.

We have ROOT now, what do we need to use Layers (theme's)?

I had a Moto X Pure and was running a rooted version of the stock ROM..... I installed Layer's manager and the layer of my choice (Dark Stock) and it worked.
I tried this with my Axon 7, the Layers manager installed fine and ran, but I couldn't find any of my installed themes to apply? Is there a setting that needs changed in a ROM in order to be able to change the theme, or are we just not there yet?

First of all, Layers has been deprecated and Substratum has taken it's place. Although it does have legacy support for Layers still. And secondarily, (maybe a silly question, but I'm just going on the way you've worded your question) did you download the theme(s) you want to try from the play store? And then there's also a good chance, even though android now has (some) native support for RRO themeing, that some things like the ui and dialer etc will not themes as the commits are not there from ZTE.

I seen there was a new name with "Layer's" being secondary in some of the descriptions? A lot can change in a month, because I was using "Layer's" just last month on my Moto X Pure and had no idea it was going away.
Yes, I did download the theme I wanted from the PlayStore (Dark Stock).
I may try it again since I've done a few more things to it....And I realize that not everything is "theme-able", mainly looking for just a few things, like the notification cards in the pull down and my settings menu.
But the fact I was still using the Layers Manager was probably the issue. I just installed the Substratum manager and it worked, at least for the notification cards. The settings menu wasn't completely themed, so I un-theme'd it.
This is all I really wanted! My PlayStore is also themed, the rest is left alone.

The settings *DID theme, but they looked like cards with a white background and you could see around the edges and the gaps between "groups". It didn't look very good, so I un-themed the settings.
Phone didn't theme (didn't expect it to)
Contacts didn't theme (didn't expect it to)
Playstore did theme
Calculator did theme
I don't use Gmail, but I'm sure it would have
Nova did theme, but I've already got the search bar colored the way I want it, so I un-themed it too
I normally don't theme the calendar or Google Photos, because I've had issues with the apps after they update - so I leave them alone.
No, not familiar with TBO? Is that "Total Black Out" or "Team Black Out"? If so, I have seen those.....But I like the more dark gray, or dark gray-blue themes as opposed to total black.

That's great news. I'm thinking maybe with that, Nova Launcher and TBO theme able apps for Google I may just be able to live with the factory ui for a while until we can get something more aosp once I get mine. But this is nice to have more of an aosp flavor for now. BTW, have you tried installing Xposed for other personalized modification?

I normally don't do Xposed with a custom ROM, but Xposed is great at modding a stock ROM....So, yes I installed Xposed for just a couple small things (using GravityBox):
1) Round battery icon
2) Center clock
3) More music volume steps (30)
I also used emoji switcher and have "Emoji One" emoji's.

Oh man, this is pretty much all I need to get me by until some actual development starts up. That is if we ever get sources or AOSP type ports. Only thing I worry about with ports is full functionality of all the features this phone has and oft times battery life can take a hit due to lack of full optimization. Thank you.

From looking at the Substratum page, it seems like it has two modes -- one with root and one without. Is that accurate? It'd be nice to have themeability while still staying stock.

Substratum + Andromeda Rootless Works!

So being overwhelmed with joy, I didn't spend much time searching to see if this was already stated... none-the-less, Substratum themes work great on Stock Oreo, rootless, with the help of Andromeda.

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)

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).

Dark theme not working.

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.

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!

Ya, its a google server side switch as well. I have seen in the recent past people who have gotten it in the actual google app. Many have also gotten the full dark theme in now/feed/discover and had it revert back to the non-dark.

I use Nova Launcher with Google companion as well. I can confirm that, at least at the moment,, the dark theme doesn't apply despite having activated dark theme in settings. If I switch to the Pixel Launcher, the dark theme becomes active
Was the dark news feed added with the October security update?

Lucky you, I have no luck to get it working
Mine isn't dark in Nova at all. I switch back to Pixel launcher and the background is dark, but each feed is still white.

First Phone.app (public beta) with dark theme released

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.
