Telegram has its own built in dark mode though..?

Also I read a few comments that Facebook is the hardest to theme but are there any updates?
Dark != Black or Clear lol

Besides, there are soooooooooo many inconsistencies and places with dark text and light background.

But don't let me stop you, have fun using their built in "Dark" theme [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]???

Yeah we don't have a member who themes Facebook anymore unfortunately. The app is coded so terribly that it was consuming him.

Their dark mode is actually black on my AMOLED screen, the only parts that are grey are the settings panel and upper header. I haven't had any of the issues you mentioned and I've been using their supplied theme for the last 3 years. Thanks for the update though.

Their dark mode ISN'T actually black on any screen. It's not too far away from black, but it's not actually properly black. Regardless of whether it is or not, it's not a properly themed black app. And if you haven't had any of the issues that I mentioned then you obviously haven't gone into all the sections of the app that I have.

Not sure why you felt the need to post something like this in a thread which is dedicated to making apps black and clear in the first place? What is the point of it? I don't think there really is one.

Thanks for the update though.

Sorry if this had been asked. I've tried a search.
I installed clearplaystore (worked fine) but I notice it was labeled 'O' for Oreo.
I can't find a black or clear Google app that has the 'O' labeled in the title of the zip file.
Is there one available? Or does the one with no label mean it works on Oreo?
Thanks

The items labeled LP-MM-N should work just fine.
I still use several of these on Oreo, including Google App.

Thanks a lot for the response!
But since posting I started getting a pop up message (and I'm not going to remember this exactly) but it was something like com.android.google.finsky...) has stopped
I searched and finsky has to do with playstore or play services.
I looked around to see if I could find it and possibly clear cache but had no luck.
I restored a backup.
Have you or anyone else encountered this after installing playstore?

Haha the log gets cleared automatically every time I close vts. All that was on the same day (I added a new framework, decompiled, and compiled. That's it)

All I did was decompile and recompile. How exactly do I go about fixing an error like that? Or is it likely that some styles just don't show when decompiled?

Hey have you tried using APK easytool?
Moreover...Recompiling Snapchat won't bring any luck since they have tough anti tampering checks now.

Finally i succes to mod Playstore for theme compatibility in all languages by modify ressources :cool:

Both system app (Phonesky) and APK (data/app install) Working perfectly :victory:

So no problem for mod ressources in Playstore now.

I used AOSP 9.0 framework and BashApktool 3.70 64bits.
Need to drag and drop assets, com, meta-inf and Androidmanifest from original apk to recompiled one or you will have Google play services broken ;)

Is there a zip file available for this to flash in recovery?

------------
I have only modded for French and Dutch system Language. Working with my Samsung theme. I don't know with Substratum theme but here you will find Playstore 12.0.32 theme compatible apk and flashable zip versions. Give it a try and let me know....

Here is Samsung theme i use (create by my bro @Yoanf_26)

Appreciate the reply, however, it is slightly cryptic.

Are these links for Samsung phones only?
You list two versions, i.e., one for 12.0.32 and the links are for version 10.0.32 - ?
After flashing, will the apk stay dark or will Google Play update and negate the newly flashed zip file?

Both versions in first link, apk and Zip.

Playstore will not blzck if you don't use theme. Its modded Playstore modded to work with thèmes for French and Dutch system Languages. Working for Samsung theme but not sure with Substratum theme as i have Samsung device, i don't use Substratum.

Second link is for Samsung only.

    Team Black Out is a team of both veteran app "Inverters" and new-comers that want to learn. With over A lot of popular Blacked Out and Transparent Android apps in our list, we are sure to not only amaze you but to guarantee once you use our Themed Apps you'll Black Out for a while.. The Team isn't doing ROMS though. We are simply combining the great minds of some of the Best in the Business when it comes to making apps Blacked Out or Transparent. We have only a few team members now because some are planning on being lightly active, so if you're already into doing Blacked Out apps, hit us up if you wanna join. We don't want to train people from the ground up but you don't have to be the best either. We will are hosting guides on this site to help walk people through the process of Inverted Apps...



    T-BOTS.png





    T-BOTs are the Team Black Out Testers. When we update an app or start a new one from scratch, we can put anywhere from 20 minutes to 10 hours into 1 app for all of you and then testing that app can take 10-60 minutes and we don't use every app we Black Out so we're bound to miss some hidden things. Well, this is where our Loyal T-BOTs come into play. Once we update an app they get busy looking for issues for us. This gives us more time to be able to update more apps, start new apps or just have some non-android fun. So make sure you thank the T-BOTs when you get blown away from how amazing these apps are!












    Obviously this style is the most popular. We don't theme our apps with images but rather Invert the Colors so you'll have Dark backgrounds and Light texts. This is very popular and has become something that many avid Android users have come to thoroughly enjoy so we will do our best to give you more of what you love!



    Transparent.png




    Transparent apps have become more popular the last year or so and some members of the Team have been offering them for a while now. Our transparent series of apps are called Clear Apps. Being able to see your wallpaper while you're using your favorite apps is just cool! We'll be offering our own wallpapers soon for you to use!









    Ok kids... click on "Welcome to the Dark Side" at the top and it will take you to our official Team Black Out website! All downloads are hosted there only to keep track of everything. If you've used any of our apps in the past in your Aroma installers or in your ROM, you can still use them. Link back to our SITE wherever you post our content tho. Do not post something in a different forum using our work and then PM us to let us know and hope it's ok with us.... It isn't. Ask first and we'll work with you but ask for forgiveness and we have a problem.



    Thanks
