can you change the colour/theme of the Messaging app background - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all wonder if anybody could help
I have recently purchased the lg g3 and noticed you can customise it quiet a bit, iv managed to change my screensaver to a nice black default LG one and also change the keyboard colour to black as I have a black case on the phone and it all works well.
Now what I want to know is: when you click the messaging app and it lists all the people/texts you have received etc, it has a white background doesn't it, but also when you click on each received message in the convo the background is also white.
isit possible to change this white background at all?

See. i did it just for the hell of it.

ah ok, so I have to root the phone to change that orange bit,
how come the phone allows you to change the keyboard colour etc and themes but wont allow you to change that horrible orange bit without root? weird
ok is their a way to root the phone but so it doesn't change any counters, warrantys, timers, or stops me getting OTA updates etc as I don't want to change any of that

Use another messaging app.

Hi all, iv just followed a tutorial on youtube on how to root and install xposed framework on my LG G3 D855 but when I go into the xposed framework the install/update button is greyed out and it says
xposed is not ( yet) compatible with android SDK version 21 or your processor architecture

lg g3 tweaksbox - where is the option to turn message app background colour

Hi all
Im trying to find the option in tweaksbox to change the background colour of the messageing app from whire to black
Somebody told me download tweaksbox and i have but now i canmot find the option
Can anybody help please
LOL... why not just go with ChompSMS or Textra? You'd get a bump in features and have more customizability of the interface.
i do not really want to change sms apps

Hi
I DO NOT want to have to download yet another app when I don't have too, im happy with the stock app
iv installed tweaksbox for this reason I juts need to know where the option is in tweaksbox to change the white background colour
1. Redundant thread from your other one. We all do our part to keep it clean.
2. You rooted, installed a custom recovery, have installed alpha Xposed and G3Tweaksbox, and are [hopefully] doing the requisite nandroid backups between all changes... just to avoid installing a messaging app that comes without the yellow bit. LMAO. THAT, sir, is priceless.

Alter background for Asus call screen

Hey guys, when you make a call with the Zenfone 2, the Asus "call screen" comes up. I seem to get a random slew of blurred ugly backgrounds. Is there any way to edit this, or choose which background it uses? There are quite a few ugly ones (in my opinion), and while it may not be that big of a deal, it's just something I'm curious about.
Thanks
Here's a way to change:
- Go to Phone
- Tap the Menu button on the left side above the dialer
- Tap Settings
- Tap Call screen settings
- Tap Call background settings
- Tap Set Background image

After installing your systemui, I quickly noticed these:
1. Some of the quicksetting icons are with the wrong labels
2. Screen mirroring icon is almost not visible, and 3. The pen icon on the upper right corner should be the settings icon
Can you fix those? Btw, thank you for your effort of doing this.

Small navbar mod

Hello. There is someone who can do mod reducing navbar?
I too would like this but hopefully without root since I'm on Verizon and I don't we'll ever get root

Does changing the display size help with it? Ignorant that they don't auto hide like my g3 and g4 did. They do while in the camera

I would also love this but pretty sure it will require root as the navbar is controlled through systemui.apk and any edits to that require root

Could we not use adb to somehow hide them? I know on some phones, for example, the s8 is capable of hiding it through adb. Just a thought...

As you can see I've hidden the nav bar. After 3 second the nav bar goes away. The app does not fill now of the screen. But there's a section to swipe up on to reveal the nav bar again. That's best I've found. See attached screen shots for examples.

@op don't mean to stray from original question of navigation bar. Just sharing.
GMD Auto hide Soft keys, but u need root

By setting the Display Size too small under Settings, the navbar can be smaller than default.
But I have another question, I'd like to use clear themes so the whole system UI is clear (not dark or black), but I'd like also whatever clear theme I use, to keep the navbar ALWAYS black, which isn't the case with all the clear themes I've tried.
Some apps follow the on screen app color to make the navbar the same color, but some apps such as xda labs, quickpic, imdb etc. just won't follow and therefore, the navbar remains white or clear (if a clear theme is applied).
I've tried quite a bunch of navbar apps from PlayStore, couldn't find one that would suit my needs, and I don't want to try Substratum app/themes on the G6, cause I've had some "bad" experiences on my previous phones.
So do you guys know if there's a way to mod this?
Thanks and have a nice day.
Interesting question, I'm with you on making the navigation bar (shorter I guess) does anybody know of a way to get fully immersive? I always liked our controls and having something on the screen I don't always need kinda bugs me a little

Any method to change the default 'Blue' colour throughout the entire phone?

Is there a way to change the 'Blue' colour default theme to other colour without installing any theme? Cos I want to maintain everything as default but only the colour changed.

Yes, you can do it with a theme from the samsung theme store or you can use substratum on an unrooted Note 20 Ultra. How to use substratum has checnged from the first post but toward the end of the thread are the new procedures.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/substratum/official-starting-substratum-andromeda-t3798316
Here's one example of substratum.

Substratum looks sweet. Gonna have to check that out.

Hex Installer allows you to keep the Samsung theme but change the UI element colors. You can even fine tune the background colors. No root needed and no wonky Substratum setup.

By default it's already using a Samsung theme!
Changing the Samsung theme is reversible and causing no performance impact (except live wallpapers and such).
>Many themes* to chose from, I recommend one of high contrast themes.
>Choose the homescreen wallpaper you want.
>Then chose from one of the hundreds of free icon packs on the Glaxy Store.
*use themes to get the keyboard, phone dialer, messages theme etc that you like best. As per above the rest are interchangeable.
That's the trick and the fix. It's time consuming but works well.

I just changed mine from "Default" to "Purple", just to make it really pronounced - could not find a single thing on the phone that had changed to "Purple"? I even rebooted just for laughs - still nothing, settings menus, it says "accent color" so I have no idea what that could even mean? I did spend about 30 minutes digging around the phone checking all kinds of stuff to make sure I didn't miss anything - finally put it back to "Default"!

Samsung and/or the carrier may have disabled it.

This dev settings option is from stock Android and was originally the only way of changing accent colours on devices running stock before Google added its own theming option later. It has nothing to do with the way Samsung implements theming and accent colours in One Ui, and for that reason does not work on Samsung devices.
The only thing that the developer option did on my side, was to change the background colour of default system icons that got no icon.
Here are two examples : one black and the other cinnamon.
Why dont you try the following apps developed for Samsung and you found them in Galaxy store:
Good lock has a bunch of modules to create your unique theme
When you use Theme Park module to create a new them make sure you tap on the top right corner on the sun icon to choose the dark mode. Basically when you create a new them you can create one for light mode(sun icon) and another for dark mode(moon icon) in one package as one them.
If you dont like the quickpanel you can change the colour scheme on your like using Quick Star module
Keyboard you can make a new theme using Theme Park (Keyboard section) ,the possibilities are endless ,make sure again you tap on sun icon to select dark mode for keyboard ?
Then use Keys Cafe module,submenu "style your own keyboard " to add key/motion effect when typing
If you want to go even further, then you can create your very own keyboard ,customised the location of the keys and add functions to them
Check attachments and YouTube link of the theme keyboard
