I've searched a lot for this and did not find anything. I would like to change the colors on the note 2 email apk. This is, to have a white background with black text. Is there a moded apk or a way of doing this? Can anybody explain it to me, please?

I read somewhere that there are 2 different themes for different gnote 2 versions. you can try googling it for the apk. What drives me crazy though, is that the screen dims significantly when I open the mail app, does that happen to you? going back to home screen or opening the mail settings restores the brightness. In mail itself, it goes dark, too dark to read I think.
Brightess is just fine, no diming problems.

to resolve the issue with display brightness in stock e-mail app: go to settings / power-saving - and disable "background color" option (change background color to save power in internet) - this will affect both the native browser AND the e-mail app (don't ask me how is e-mail also "internet"... )
There is an option under settings > accessibility, which allows you to 'invert colours'. Select this. Give it a go. White backgrounds will become black and vice versa.

I am after the same help!
This is a massive PITA for me coming form an iPhone where everything was easy to read. Why Samsung needed a black background and grey text is beyond me?

Nice feature that I came across while exploring the Settings.
No longer do we need to mod the apks in order to change the apps to dark background, which some of us prefers, because we believe a darker screen saves battery. In this case, just need to tick the check box of "Settings - Accessibility - Negative Colors".
Enjoy!

A dark display on SAMOLED does save battery. And changing this setting makes everything white, no? Your post is confusing.
It turns the background to Black, a screenshot won't be able to capture it.
And you can access it by holding the power key, you just need to enable the accessibility shortcut option.

It not only turns background black, it just inverts colors.meaning if its black, it can become white and vice versa, but if there are color they too will turn negative like in those photos...
Its usefulness is beyond my comprehension :s
These settings are from ages,it's not new.

Its the sort of thing i would do before giving my note to a friend and trolling him that he had damaged it by showing the "decolorised" screen!
Hey, is there any way to enable this option for the drop down notified menu only? This would actually be useful...
Sorry for the new thread, i don't know how to search for it, that's why I made a new thread. I have a Note N7100 white, and I would like to change the color(skin) of the menu/settings/messages etc. that is black to white. That's surely from android, but if it's someone who could tell me if it's possible, I would appreciate. I searched in all the settings, and I haven't found nothing. So the question would be >>> How can I change the skin from black to white?

they set it to black for a reason.
when amoled is forced to display white, it consumes more than twice the amount of power of an LCD screen trying to display white. you'll burn through your battery too quickly.
when an amoled is forced to display black, it switches itself off and consumes no power, which is why it is set to black by default.
If u want to change your background/color of messages/sms menu .. 1. Choose messages(app) 2. Hit menu touch key and choose settings and there u can change your display options..
I hope this helps for you (thought u wanted ro change only messages/sms menu)

Hi,
I might be way behind the times here but.....
I have quite a dark setup on my Note II.
I'm using Liquid Smooth ROM and all backgrounds are black witha dpi of 240.
anyway, it's great while using indoors....etc.
However when I go outside into bright sunlight my phone is completely useless as I can't see a thing.
Is there an app available which I can set up an outside profile, say with white backgrounds and black font....etc?
Maybe even change the dpi quickly?
Look into tasker + secure settings if you're looking for automation, I'm not sure about other alternatives.

Call me odd but i don't want a background on my homescreen or lock screen. I simply want it plain black. But I see no option to simply pick no background which with every other smartphone I ever owned or messed around with resulted in a plain black background. How do I set no background? Thanks

Just find a black image and use that.

go on google find a black background and set it as the wallpaper?
Take a picture on your phone in a dark room with your camera facing down on a desk and set it as the wallpaper?
I had thought of doing that. But I thought the idea of the no background was so that the background wasn't consuming resources. Every time I exit an app it has to load the background like android decided to turn it off while in the app. So even though the background image would be all black it's still going to have to go through that processing. I am not sure of the impact of that. I know with older devices having no background was recommended because it consumed resources. I don't know why there is a no background setting, it seems kind of stupid that it was left out.
Before ONE UI 3.0 was possible to use Edge Lighting with the screen totally off. Now each time edge lights the screen tries to wake up. Why??
This is annoying and battery consuming.
Another problem is that now is not possible to use Edge Lighting in different colours for different apps. For example, I would like to use green for Whatsapp, red for Gmai, blue for Telegram and so.
It's still possible. It's just harder to find the setting. In general setting do a serach for "edge" and you will find it. There you will find the setting for both app-controlled colors and "screen-off"

Ok, thanks. I got it. At least my screen doesn't wake up each time a notifications arrives and only the Edge lights.
On the contrary I don't know if it is possible to use different colours for different apps. When I look inside Colours in Edge settings and I touch on "colours for app" nothing happens.
Strange... this is how it looks for me and colors per app works. However, I can't find any setting what color to use... it sets itself (by icon?)

Exactly, this is what I mean. Although I touch over the white icon "colour for apps" nothing happens.
Maybe you're right and the colour for the Edge selects itself in function of the colour of its app icon.
