Flipboard for Android (Dark Theme Mod)

Hi Guys
I was just wondering if anyone would be able to do a Dark Theme Mod of the Flipboard app?
I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who would like this if possible.
Here's hoping! And thanks as always.

Man I got so excited when I saw this, I thought you were announcing that you had done it. +1000001111eleventybillion to whoever can.

Well, it obviously looks like there is not a developer or themer that wants or needs this.
Maybe you all should work together to modify the app theme to a dark theme. It isn't that complicated. There is also the option of using a 3rd party launcher or 3rd party theme app to achieve this, some of these can even add the dark theme to everything on the device without needing to modify the apps themselves.

PlayStore, do a search for "dark theme" you'll probably see many options, try a few until you find one you like, don't be lazy.

I'm not, mate. What you talk about, in a so generic way, just doesn't exists. Period.

I went to Playstore and searched for:
"Dark theme"
These are the results:
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=Dark theme&c=apps
Some of the apps in those results can be used to dark theme other apps, even add dark theme to the whole device with the right setup of app/apps. Try a lot of them, dig deeply into the different ways they can be used, see if any work together to enable/disable dark theme where you want/don't want.
I did a simple Google search for:
"Apps to make all apps dark theme"
This is one of the first results I found:
https://www.davebennett.tech/dark-theme-any-app/
That is just one result, there are many others.
The point is, there are things already available to do what you want.
If that isn't enough, do a Google search for:
"How to use APKtool to modify apps"
Or
"How to theme android apps"
Use one/some of those guides to learn how to actually modify and repackage the apk file of whatever app that you want to add dark theme to.
To learn how to actually edit the apk to add dark theme, do a Google search for:
"How to edit apk file to add dark theme"
You can even change the icon for the app or even change the image files for the different "buttons" or the font in the app, you can even change the color/location of buttons and text in the app.
The point is, the stuff to do what you want already exists at various levels of difficulty. Find the difficulty level that you are comfortable with and figure it out by trial and error.
I think I've shown you some basic examples of how you can acieve your result for any/all apps, it's up to you to dig in and find your best option.

I'm looking for the exact same answer. I normally do some light reading after dinner. And the white background on my android does my head in. I just saw that ios users have it lucky with the invert colours option. Why the step motherly treatment for us android users?

You can enable invert color option from developer menu while using Flipboard
Am using that since many days as I found no other option

Always On Display Themes

Hi Everyone! just received my new Galaxy S7 and as always trying to learn everything about it before i brick it!
So i've been messing with the always on display themes and for the moment all i could find are 5 new themes in the Samsung theme store.
I wanted to know what options do we have to manually change the AOD and to create our own theme..
Also location of files and resolutions would be nice if anyone knows!

Where did you find the always on display themes?

The Theme store has a banner for Always On Display. It seems to be anice actual theme that also themes the AoD.

goto settings then top right Themes then more themes and from yesterday there is a sectioin "Always brighten your style with AOD" themes.. it changes all the phones theme but you can go back to the one you had and keep just the aod theme.

Anyone figure this out yet? I would love to pick my own image.

does anyone know how to add other "alerts" to the AOD screen? ie i would want to know if i had a number of hangouts messages or work emails. It only really tells you about missed call numbers and new sms (i mean who uses SMS these days unless it is to strangers or old people who don't understand hangouts??)

Looks like only Samsung's Phone, Messages, and Calendar notifications are available. For example, I like Google Messenger, but since SMS/MMS notifications don't make it to the AoD, I'm stuck with Samsung's Messages app (which looks nice actually).

How do you change back to the theme you had but sill keeping the AOD from the AOD theme?

I'd be interested in creating a dual clock, calender, & advanced notifications aod; how does one get started making android/ Samsung themes?

I want to keep my current theme and use the AOD from another theme. Has anyone figure this out yet?

i have only 6 AOD themes on the store. It whould be awesome if we can find more. And btw is this a feature that only s7 has ? If there is AOD mod for other phones mabe we can find themes from what they use ?

Functionality extensions would be better than almost useless themes.

i don't find the aod theme , maybe there aren't in france

Interested in creating themes?

You can just search "Samsung theme development" on Google and it should be the first site on the list. http://developer.samsung.com/theme-service
You have to apply, which entails getting Samsungs approval by phone and probably sharing anything they deem worthy of their own app store in terms of revenue. I don't think it's as easy as pie if that's what your hoping but I'd love to be wrong because Aod needs some work and it would be welcomed! I did some reading tho and it can be done if your driven to do so, I looked all this up as I wanted to create my own themes instead of waiting for what I may not find to come along. Looks like they have their own sdk you use and more info can be found at the link I provided. Cheers!

Q: is there any way to change emoji without rooting?

So as the title says I just feel sick when I see thoose google emojis, really need to change them, please, tell me there is a way for this. And other question - maybe I can use adblocker without root aswell?

If it's just for texting try another app like Textra, you can select and download up to 4 different emoji styles. Hope this helps.

Ditto. I'd love to get the iphone emojis. Standard android ones look crap imo.

Have you looked at installing another keyboard like Kika or Emoji in the play store, there's plenty of them and going by the app screenshots there not the default google type either

I use Swype and uninstalled Honor and Google keyboards altogether.

There are many keyboards in the Play Store with different emojis.

I don't like SwiftKey (only 3 predictions and I think no 2 simultaneous languages supported) but it's probably the most popular.

[THEME][MOD][6.0.1] TW Customizations For Note 4 N910V

First off I want to give a HUGE thanks to @supergrobi94 who pretty much did all of the heavy lifting for this project. He designed the apks and flashable zips that we are using and gave us permission to modify them for the Verizon variant. His work can be found here: Thread
I've been working with @kevintm78 to get some modified system apps with custom icons and such. I've spent a lot of time to try and alter the icons and spacing to make sure that it looks the way I want on the note 4.
If we decide to work on other themes we'll be posting them here. I'm hoping to get a dark background version of the settings and some darker notifications, but we'll see how it goes since apparently that's pretty hard.
I've attached a few screenshots below to give a taste of what it looks like and you can download it while we work on other themes. The first two are for this mod.
I've tested it on PaulPizz's CPF3 ROM v3.2 and it works fine, but it is based off of the N910F so there may be some bugs. Make sure to do a backup before flashing and understand that you are flashing this at your own risk. I will try to support it, but honestly I'm a little out of my league here. There is a lot of trial and error with the Samsung apks because they make them proprietary. Anyway, Enjoy!

Themes for ROMs with Theme Store: ThemeStoreThemes
Recently I have been enjoying the FullNote7Build2.1 from @chevyrhoads and have decided to make some themes for it. @Shane_Picardo has uploaded a copy of the ThemeSoftware (it's a version behind, but it works) that I've used to create this theme. I've been looking into changing the status bar icons, but I don't have a lot of hope since the file types for the Note7 port have changed again to some proprietary format that I probably won't be able to decode. I haven't touched the icons since I use Nova Launcher with Icon packs, but I have changed many of the system apps to be a darker theme. I've attached the preview images so you can see if you like it (the ones that start with theme). There is a limit to what the theme editor can do, but if there are requests let me know. I'm more interested in AOSP-like themes, but if another idea interests me I'll look into it.
Theme Store Instructions:
1) Download the appropriate apk (Note 7 ports have a different apk than Note 5 or S6/S7 ports)
2) Install apk, but do not apply
3) Navigate to /data/overlays/jsonfiles/trialjson and cut the file with the name of the theme you just installed
4) Paste the file in /data/overlays/jsonfiles/userjson
5) Navigate back to /data/overlays and delete the preferences folder
6) Reboot and apply the theme
7) Enjoy!
Thanks:

@kevintm78 For Help With Creating Note 4 Theme
@chevyrhoads For an Awesome Port

Dang, I was wanting to be the first to give thanks, but I've hit my limit for today. Consider this, as the check (thanks) is in the mail. Great job!

Thank a trillion for this. Flashed it and everything seems to be good. Is there anyway to get rid of the data icon when wifi is on? Kinda of litters the status bar with it there.Donation coming to u and supergrobi94's way.

I don't currently know of a way to conditionally remove the icon. I'll look into it though. I actually prefer it there so I know what connection I have for mms and the like.

Well... (?) what does everyone think of the mod?

One thing that I could do is have an upside down signal bar that would change based on your signal (1x=1 bar, 2g=2 bars, 3g=3 bars, 4g=4 bars) right above the cell signal bar so it doesn't take any extra space, but I'd have to remove the up/down data arrows for mobile data. Thoughts?
Also, are there other icons that people want up in the status bar? I can change bluetooth, NFC, alarm clock, and other icons if someone has better suggestions.
Thanks!

Hello @shadeau I was wondering if you could make a complete transparent theme with the wallpaper in your screenshots. One that would make the dialer, settings and messages transparent with the homescreen wallpaper as background in everything? That would be awesome. Also with dark blue fonts. If that is asking too much I completely understand, as I really don't know myself how much time and effort has to go into this. I tried installing the Samsung Theme editor myself with my internet turned completely off before opening it but I still couldn't get it to work. Thanks for your time.

I should be able to do that. Let me look into it. What color do you imagine for the sliders and check boxes (things that are typically a light gray color)?

Okay, so the theme editor won't actually let me specify a transparent background unless it's an image file. Even if I specify a completely transparent image file as a background it just means that you see through to the very back of the app instead of to the background (so you still see black). In short, this won't work as you intended, but if you have a background that you want for every screen I could put that image as the theme background. It might be easier to try to get the program running on your computer though so you can play around with different styles and see for yourself.
If you want help with installing it I can see what I can do to assist. Reply here or PM me if you're interested.

You need to manually add it. Open windows firewall, select advanced settings, select inbound rules on the left, select new rule on the right, select program and click next, find the program in the program path selection area, select block the connection and click next, select all of the things listed for when it should apply and click next, name it something like Theme inbound and click finish.
Repeat the process for outbound rules. Hope that helps.

I would uninstall the program completely, re-download it, and try installing the newly downloaded file. I didn't get that error with either one of my installs. The firewall fix makes sure it doesn't try to get updates. It might help to disconnect from the internet while you're installing it too just to see if it helps.

Synergy OneUI Theme Compiler

Samsung theme compiler requires sustratum lite & themes, now rootless.

I have found so far flux NFC overlay completely disabled the quicksetting icon.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced bootloop using this.
It's happened twice with me (S10+) and I have to boot to safe mode, install default theme, clear data in Substratum Light & Synergy, then reboot.

In case you can't read. If I go to the play store and I'm able to hit open its because I purchased it already. If I need a smart ass answer I know who to ask thanks.
For anyone else actually trying to help or if this happens to someone else, uninstalling and reinstalling the app did the trick. ?

Hello all...
I am using Synergy and Substratum Lite for a week now. It's really good.
But, I was wondering... Is it possible to add overlays from different downloaded (form Play Store) themes, and then build one new theme with Synergy???
