Title says it all I'm afraid. I'm using the stock TW UI & the email app with the black background inbox is infuriating me.
Is there a way to invert the colours or change it to anything but grey writing on black background?
Currently unrooted but will root to be able to read emails in sunlight.
Always a way, you will need to rooted. I do have other request for making it better to read, problem is. I don't have the apk and don't use it. Ide need the apk

So guys, I took the plunge and got myself a brand new grey Note 2. Coming from a Gnex I couldn't be more happy. However, what's up with the abysmal blueish theme throughout (internet browser, menu headers, etc)? Is there a way to change it, without rooting that is? I nearly perfected the Note 2 using Nova and some apps, but this blue theme is killing me
Use another browser

No, I will not use another browser since stock is best/smoothest. It's not only about the browser. Also the dialer, settings menu (headers), etc. The blue color scheme overall really.

Well, that's touchwiz for ya... You can only flash a theme for your ROM, there should be another better solution soon (I hope) with the help of Xposed framework and XTheme, but for the time being we have no ported themes for this...
Hi,
Just a thread to agregate all the infos about compatibilities
I'll keep this first post updated if you give me informations.
Additionnal information :
OMS Support for LOS
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/substratum/reference-lineageos-substratum-support-t3580276
Free themes :
ModernUI : not bad, but black on black on the ambient display (when screen is all B&W). Except that, I love the look.
Inversion UI : not bad, but black on black on the ambient display (when screen is all B&W). Same in the Phone and contact app.
Greyce : No problem with it, but doesn't theme a lot of things. Just have some Grey on white menus on olds app I have. I'll stick on this one for a minimal black UI theming.
Update 8th feb : Contact and Phone is themed (keeping some white areas, but OK for me)
S.i.X themes : I tried even if not supported except Pure Nexus and S.i.X roms. Bootloop...
Paid themes :
I plan to test some of them and report here, starting with the ones compatible with 7.1.1.
Swift black : Reported as really good by @Exodusche . A lot of apps themed
Domination : Reported as really good by @Exodusche . Fewer apps themed, but accent colors
LoNe 4SuBs : seems to require OMS support. Waiting for the dev answer to see if it worth to be tested
Thanks for sharing your views on it if you already tried some of them.
Using Swift on Lineage based RR and it works pretty good. Notifications still have a White Background.

There is no choice I think. Or the ambient display can't show the texts or titles (black on black), or the notification stays white...
Do you have problems on contacts, phone, inbox or Gmail app? All blacked themed with swift?
Swift Black is incredible always being updated and has options for every ROM type also Domination both have never let me down usually ROM issue if so both apply pure black Domination has accent choices where swift does not but themes more like calendar and G maps etc
Lineage has OMS support?

Not really. Some are trying to extend that :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lineage/general/progress-support-oms-t3546841
But some themes devs make them compatible with it.
Ex from the swift black description :
Boost your stock rooted ROM with this pitch black theme for the Substratum theme engine. It fully supports Android 6, 7.0 and 7.1 / Google Pixel / OxygenOS 4 / LineageOS / OMS + it works without TBO Theme ready gapps! Please read the description below before using the theme.

Did you apply all overlays? Does it not bootloop when applying the framework overlay?

I reopen most of themed apps and everything is OK.

I read that it doesn't theme framework to avoid bootloops.
What isn't themed? Notifications? Settings? Google?

Notification are slightly grey on the lockscreen, becomes white when expanded
Settings are black with Blue neon accent.
Google is themed
For example, Inbox : open the app, the message list is all black. When you open one, all the top is black but the message is on a white zone.
On contacts and phone, it's all black....

Only issues I've had with framework and swift black was Oxygen 3.1.4 but customs ROMs OMS, legacy (Non OMS) and OOS 3.1.3 no problems at all Domination and Compound pretty much the same
With Google plus yesterday's update, it crashes.
Had to reapply all and OK
oxygen os
my setup is oxygen os substratum theme, with oneplus 3 accents
I installed substratum and applied greyece and everything worked fine but after applying pixel theme theme stayed to greyece so I uninstalled overlay from overlay manager of substratum after that phone rebooted and stuck in boot screen...on using march03 (first build) of lineage is in zuk z1....anyway to use substratum???
Long pressing power button soft reboots. Also disabling the USB debugging allows it to boot, else just reboots & sticks on boot screen. Any recommendation?

I would very much like to Black theme my notifications as I also use "Dark Theme Stock + Substratum Swift Black". A few minutes ago I wrote the Substratum Swift Black dev to ask if notifications should be themed and if not then could he please add that feature. White notifications stand out when everything else is themed black.
I tried the other notification mod in this section "Flasheable black notifications, dialer, incallui, qs tiles Mod" and not only did it not work but caused the issue mentioned in the original post about long pressed power button not triggering the extended power menu which makes that alternative a no go. Does this mod also cause issues with the long press power menu?

How to install the mod?

as with most other zips that contain mods/apps, you need a custom recovery, preferably twrp (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/development/recovery-twrp-3-1-1-0-touch-recovery-t3632912). If you already have a custom recovery, go ahead and download the .zip provided by the author of the mod in the first post of this thread. Restart your device into recovery mode, either via the advanced reboot menu or by turning your device off and holding the volume down button while powering your device back on until the manufacturer logo appears. once you are in twrp, go to wipe, click on advanced wipe, and select the two options with cache and dalvik, then swipe to confirm the wipe. Afterwards, go back to the overview and click on install. Now you'll need to selected the .zip you've downloaded before. Swipe to confirm again. After the .zip has been installed successfully, click on "wipe cache/dalvik" and confirm once again. After that, you can click on reboot and enjoy your new mod.
Tried it out but now the text of the notifications is slightly red. Also the media keys of spotify can't be seen very well. Am i the only one with this problem? Can it be fixed?
As it modify the framework file, the future official updates won't install right ?
We need to restore the "stock" files ?
If so, can you upload a zip at least of last official update available to restore it ?
One more general question, I can't see the general section opo5, there isn't yet a vanilla version for each official release only adding root and all the rest untouched ?

There's a lot of fixes around for spotify with substratum modules:
-Download Ozone, select dark notifications at the top and theme spotify
-If you have Swift dark/black, select 7.1 OMS at the top and theme spotify
[email protected] made a substratum modules specifically for theming the notifications of apps with black notifications. Find it in his Mod and Theme connection thread

Cant find the thread... Also i dont use ambient display. Could the colored font come through substratum ozone even i did not theme the notifications with it?
Btw the changed font color also appears in some apps like teamspeak or in some sections of the settings app

I dont really want to theme the notifications with substratum, because of the power menu bug to softreboot instantly, that's why i am here

Theming spotify with substratum is perfectly safe:good:.
Theming Android system causes the soft reboot bug, other apps are safe to theme
Excellent mod! found the perfect combo using this mod + ozone + swift black . Thank you for coming to the 5!
Is there any way the font brightness can be increased on Ambient Display?? It's a bit dim (could be from my substratum combo though..)

Hey guys,
Loving this phone so far (come from an Honor 10, big step up), but there's 1 really annoying bug: every time I change the theme or wallpaper from either the settings app, launcher or themes app, it reverts back to the stock theme and wallpaper regardless of what I do. It's even more annoying as I find the stock wallpaper ugly asf lol. If anyone has any ideas as to how to fix this please lmk!
Thanks
Do you use official themes? Is so, then try to update thememanager.

Hey, figured out the problem. I was using an unsupported font (not downloaded through the theme store, somehow updated my unicode and got the iOS emojis etc), thats why the theme kept reverting to the default one. Simple workaround was just to install ios emojis through search on the actual theme store, only problem is it doesn't support the ios 14 emojis but its better than nothing
