Pre-emptive unfortunately. The articles have been update to reiterate the fact that Google aren't adding a dark mode. They're a bunch of clowns anyway. They can't code their OS or their apps properly. They wouldn't be able to organise a drinking fest in a brewery. There's no way that they could properly code a dark mode.
Yea unfortunately someone else just shared the update.... Oh well back to TBO and the other themers

Hey. I've got a problem. I tried to install(zip flash) lastest black google play app. It didn't work. When i deleted data and updates from app settings i went black, but when i tried to install something nothing really happened. App works, searching works, but Install button doesn't do anything. I came up with idea to install root uninstaller and force delete google play, then flash ur black app. Well... It still doesn't work properly. What's more i can't reinstall my backed up google play app :(. I tried apk - which doesn't even want to install. I tried to create zip with twrp template - that doesn't work too. I tried like 10 different google play store apk versions over the net. Do i have to reinstall rom ? ;// I'm using that rom :

Nope. Just flash gapps. I am on the same rom. TBO play store is outdated and if you are using ground zero, just use Davey's Domination substratum theme or DJ's Sprite substratum theme to give the play store a black or clear ui

Hello everyone. It's been a while since you got a whatsapp update. This is due to some difficulties we had to cope with. Due to oreo changes we have lost zips, so only signed apks remain. This means that you need root and an app like Titanium backup to restore data after installation (signed apks cannot pass authentication).
I'm sorry, but that's the situation. For those without root there's substratum, both DJ's Sprite and Davey's Domination are the best you can wish for, so we're not without alternatives.
An update is coming soon

Bug send location wallpaper does not come out black, so you do not see white text of the locations.
Thanks for update.

I like my custom themes and apps better than Substratum anyhow, but I agree that it's effed up that Google would deny those that don't want to root their phone the ability to install these types of rootless themes. I figured Google would be happy not having rooted devices which would mean more money made through the Play Store other than going to guys like TBO or me for a custom theme or custom apps. Sounds kinda counterproductive to me. Then again, Google does stupid things from time to time.

It's not just unrooted users that are affected. They're blocking all OMS overlays. It hits the unrooted users harder though, as they paid for Andromeda to be able to apply themes without needing root. But I might posit that it hurts more for the people who have been enjoying RRO Layers since the beginning.

    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
