Blacked out and clear apps

[ajsmsg78]

For those of you who didn't know, there is an app you can install that will let you download Blacked out and Clear versions of Google Apps and other apps like WhatsApp, Twitter etc.

Visit here and download and install the TeamBlackOut Updater App, install it (it's an apk) then open the app and download whatever you want and install it. I've been using this for years and thought I'd share it. Please thank the developer there as well.

In my AMOLED years I used to love these black apps/themes, mainly to save battery and to show off the immense contrast of those screens.

Now, with LCD, and battery saving not being an issue anymore, I really enjoy the vibrant and colorful screen of the Mate 8.

So I find it a shame to use blacked/greyed/colorless themes But as with everyting: YMMV! :good:

Same here on LCD I prefer to have whites for the most part and darker grays on Amoled for the contrast and battery. However I don't quite like the look of the Settings app on the Mate 8 so I prefer it in darker color. As well as dark headers. The rest I want white. Visibility in dark apps is pretty bad outside on this phone. Not very bright screen.

Black backgrounds are the way to go. They are easier on your eyes, they are less likely to keep you awake at night from staring at a white screen and when you're laying in bed or in really low light when waking up they are worlds better to look at. I wish I could get rid of every white background on the entire phone.
