I want to install a "dark" theme for my S8 Snapdragon that's in the S7 forum. Can I do this on S8 without root (using Package Disabler method)?
If this is possible, will there be any glitches I should be aware of ahead of time? If I can do this, I may never root... well, probably will just to get rid of Samsung-ware.

Use the themes in the theme store under settings. There are dark free ones.

Themes in the "Theme Store" can't change the Messaging app color / text box color, can it? I'm looking for something to give me as much white text on black background as possible in apps / System UI / dialer.
I don't mind paying for a theme in the Theme Store if this can be accomplished.

The "High Contrast Theme" from Samsung has a pure black background with white text in the stock messaging app (for free).

I won't have my S8 until tomorrow - any chance you could point me to screenshots of the Messaging and Settings apps? Or perhaps post them for me if it's not too much trouble
Really appreciate it.

Thanks for that. The white text input box at the bottom is what I was hoping I could make white on black. I've used a few themes around XDA that could do this - like this one I'm currently using on my S6:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/theme-samsung-galaxy-s8-t3582967
I bet there is a user made theme that blacks that out as well but I've only tried a few. I'll let you know if I come across one.
EDIT - Hmm it seems like all of the black themes on the Samsung app have the white text box, maybe they don't allow that to be changed on the stock app?
I have been playing around with Textra for messaging and it allows you to customize the look, see attached image. I think you could make those blue accents black as well.

I like that - I think I'll give that a try.
Yeah there are some elements the Samsung Theme Engine won't allow user created themes to change, at least from my understanding. The High Contrast theme and the use of Textra look like good options until we have root.
Thanks again!
Speaking of themes...Does anyone know if it is possible to get a plain black status bar (not transparent) with white text at the top of the screen all the time (without root)?

What theme you are using mate?
he uses klwp for theming. btw try navbar apps. it's a pretty decent app to "customize" the navbar
Try chroma keyboard instead

You can't change the quick settings icons without messing with systemUI i think, but MiFavor 5's themes actually look like they let you change that stuff. i'll try today maybe.
The problem is that I don't know where the downloaded themes are stored. And last time, when I tried with mifavor 4.2, swapping a stock theme with mine didn't work

Dark theme
Hi guys, just updated my ze552kl to Android O, get rid of annoying dots and background apps notification, so far so good. Anyone has any idea to get dark themes especially on quick tiles section? I don't mind spend some bucks for dark theme as long as it gets things done consistently, not just main setting page. Alternatively, I'd like to try Andromeda addon but most of the themes do not recommend quick tiles theme adjustment (just color, not icons) which is kind of pointless. So, it would be appreciated if someone could recommend a spesific dark zenui theme or share any thoughts and experience with Andromeda on ze552kl. Thanks in advance

Well I don't what's wrong but the suggested theme partially change phone, contacts, wallpapers, icons, main setting page only. The quick tiles remain white. I guess I'm out of luck, but there is a wayout please be kind enough to inform.

If you want to change icons only from other theme, it can be achieved via zenui theme and select customize from within the theme you want the icons to be applied (check icons only). Or from installed iconpack from Preference --> Icons/folder. It works fine for me.

you mean the notification shade?
The themes work for me on the notification shade
Check attached image.
This is the Space and Beyond theme. Don't customize it, choose apply all and then change wallpaper or icons as desired. Make sure you are on the latest version for ZenUi, Themes and all asus apps.

Magisk 15.3 works for me.
Is there a way to change the lock screen clock? It's absolutely hideous and very poorly designed

I was looking into the same thing, can't find an option. Maybe xposed module, haven't found anything yet.

Yeah, I wonder why is it so hard to have simple thing. It's only partially applied with quick tiles / notification remain stock (white background /blue icons). I didn't do factory reset after Oreo update. Backup /restore process is so tiring.
i updated to android 8.0 today and the first thing i noticed after reboot is that some of my icons have white boxes around them. so i thought i would just change the icons to fix it. that did not work some of the icons did change but the white boxes remain. i then thought it was time for a theme change so i went and found a springy like puppy theme to use. that went badly also. None of the icons on the screen are from the new theme. in the screenie provided the green arrow shows the white box and the one icon that changed. the red arrow is the original themes icon set. the blue icon is the original theme icon with the white box around it. i have tried changing wallpapers and icons and themes but the icons do not change anymore.

Try to apply the theme again
And in settings there is an option to turn off icon backgrounds.

that did not work
only the home screen being affected made me thing.i had forgotten that i had installed the pixel 2 launcher in android 7. i went and turned it off and went back to defaults it all is working. so i uninstalled it and re downloaded it and reinstalled and it is working so it looks like the app did not like the upgrade.
looks like the theme hasn't been updated to make it compatible with Oreo.
it isn't the theme that has the issue as i tried 5-6 themes all having the same issue. it was the pixel launcher did not like being installed in android 7 then upgraded to 8. once i uninstalled the launcher and then reinstalled it all is working as expected.
i thought only i had that problem i use apex launcher on note 8 and after i apply theme or icon pack it is not changing
I just use the "vanilla" Samsung launcher, and I have this issue, even with a setting reset. I really don't want to do a factory.
I am having same issue but I have no launcher installed. Just using it theme. What I found is that the setting under
Settings - - > display - - > frame icons
is on and grayed out. Can't figure out how to ungray it

Are you using an other launcher then the original one ? That could be the problem.

It looks like Oreo has brought new feature called Adaptive Icons.
Apparently until developers would have enabled their stuff to support it you still be watching white area surrounding the legacy icons.
This is why I've switched to Nova, but unfortunately loosing numeric notification badges
