[THEME] Dark/Black Default (V3 navbar_fixed)

[envy~]

As I understand this theme was created the same way overlays are? Overlays stay for ever and there's no need to worry about theme being changed back.

This theme was not created the same as how you make overlays, this theme can be considered as a "test" product for Samsung theme developers, (to try their themes before submitting to samsung) that's why it get installed as a Samsung Theme. Its a product of their editor, I just edit it thru apk tool to get more customization. The problem is I'm not a legit samsung developer, that's why you can never see this theme on the store, plus even if I'm a legit developer, a theme like this will never get approved there, coz I already made edits far more of what a legit samsung editor can do.

But basically a theme is a collection of overlays, same principle, same target but different way (code) of how it get installed, if I have more time I can convert this theme into a several overlays or even a substratum package but I can't right now.. I'm still learning more stuff, (if you know how to do it, feel free to use this theme as a base, but please before you share it to others at least let me know about it)

Enjoy your phone and try other things, please don't give bug reports when you use this theme together with substratum overlays, this theme was good enough before your life discovered substratum magic.

*I may pre-release a version of my new theme project in a few days.. still not finished I'm still about 67% done with all the customization I have on my mind of what I want it to be. please bear with me for those who are still waiting.

I did stop the services and cleared data on theme. Maybe I have to try that app. Do you know about the navigation bar though? It gets white in third party apps even after the update of the theme.

I used in of @Tigerhoods overlays to fix that, or it's already in your theme but a old overlay messing with it.

Sorry i have installed so many overlays it's hard to remember sometimes.

Check your apps in settings and see how many overlay apks are there?

It looks like this when I have third party apps, I have latest version of the theme so why is the navigation bar still white? Can I fix it?

are you on a latest samsung firmware with the June security patch? I cannot confirm if I fixed it, coz I don't have an S8, but good guys here posted a screenshot before that's it's black on 3rd party keyboard with the new firmware.

Yes I am on latest possible update.

 

[ChanceGPM]

Yes I am on latest possible update.

Edit: The screenshot is white default because it went back to stock theme after reboot and I didn't change it back to your theme yet. Nevermind that, just wanted to show you that I am on the latest version.

Looks great! Will your theme also theme 3rd party apps as well or just Samsung apps? I think the reason people like substratum as well is because of apps like messenger, Google, phone and etc get themed. But i Respect your work.

Yes it's normal.

I just don't restart my phone so they never restart unless I do something that triggers it.

Is there a way to restore the original white notifications?

Hi, by touring this thread I saw a couple of conversations that you guys want a Dark theme that doesn't compromise on anything like icons, stock colors etcetera, so I edited my S8 dark theme from S7 edge thread and make a version for this device.
It's just a basic theme with the main purpose is to make light backgrounds to dark.
Like stock each system app have their own Primary color to them, so expect the Phone app to be Green, Messaging App to be Yellow-orange, Settings App to be blue and so on which you cannot find on any theme from the store

CHANGELOG

(BLACKv3 update -recent)
-Brings back black colored nav bar for all 3rd party apps
(fix for recent Samsung nav bar update that remove black option for navigation bar color)
-Camera Settings blackout
-Suggested bug fixed from previous version

(BLACK2 update)
-black colored navbar when using STOCK keyboard
-added Email app to the themed assest, 70% blackout
-minor fixes for Messaging and MyFiles app
-much better to see under sunlight or minimum brightness

(DARK update version)
-various fixes for some color inconsistencies on apps
-more polished
-Black version introduced (uninstall dark version before installing black version)

INSTALLATION (unrooted)

1. Enable Developer options in Settings (About device > Software info > press on Build number 7 times or more). Now it should
be visible in the Settings Menu.

2. Download and install the theme. Open the theme store and apply the theme (FREE TRIAL).

3. Close the store, then head to Developer options > Running services > find both Themes/Samsung Themes and STOP BOTH.
Note: MAKE SURE BOTH AREN'T PRESENT IN RUNNING SERVICES ANYMORE AFTERWARDS.

4. Go back to Settings > Apps > Samsung Themes > Storage > CLEAR BOTH DATA & CACHE.

That's it. The theme is applied permanently and there is no need for a 3rd-party app like PDP.
Note: The theme will still be applied even after you restart your device, just don't open the Theme store and make sure its services aren't present in Running Services.

THEME GOT THE SAME SKU, PLEASE INSTALL ONLY ONE APK, YOU CANNOT HAVE MORE THAN ONE VERSION AT THE SAME TIME, UNINSTALL COMPLETELY OLD VERSION BEFORE TRYING THE OTHER ONE

*darknotif version have Dark notification background cards, 3rd party Title Text color cannot be themed that's why you can just barely see it on here. Use at your own risk, sometimes installing and uninstalling it can be buggy just clear cache on storage setting before installing, and restart after if you like to remove it completely.

*for rooted users that's using blacknotifs I suggest you edit your own framework-res.apk. (basic knowledge on using apktool is needed) when decompiled just navigate to res/values/color.xml and look for the line that has "notification_title_text" and change its value to a light color like #fffffffff or #ffc8c8c8, recompile and put it back to your system (via flashable zip or inject it to your rom and reinstall rom) that will make almost all notification title text to white and make black notification cards perfect.

+ "light_navigation_bar_default_bg_color" change its value to #ff000000 for black navigation bars on ANY keyboards you use.

*Theme is untested on actual S8 device so feedback/actual Screenshots are appreciated. enjoy

Is there a way to revert back to white notifications?

Are you saying you don't see it in your Samsung Store list of your themes installed should be there , That's where you delete it from.
