Don't get me wrong. Love the new update and love the new location settings. Specially as it is about time they brought it on par with iOS. But what is with the new dark mode. If you got the new dark mode everything should change right away. Why Gmail Google app and play store not turned dark yet. Why do we have to wait for more updates. This is where Samsung and I will say Huawei give them credit get things right.
We have to wait, coz not all apps are ready yet.
So, where's your problem? U run without dark mode since KitKat, so it can not be in such a hurry.
Apart from that it was already announced before the release that some apps still have to be optimized or revised so that the dark mode works 100%
Play store is dark themed for me, you can turn on force dark mode in developer options and it will try and theme almost anything, Gmail is still white. It will turn off on reboot though. You can also set accent color too.
There is no problem. I actually liking the new update. What would of been perfect if they could of released everything on the day of release. If Samsung could do it why not the creators of android. And thank you guys for the replies
You can force dark mode under System->Developer Options (just search for 'force' and its at the bottom of results). It will enable dark mode everywhere.
With gmail, they are overriding that override setting and forcing it to be white because they are preparing for native gmail dark mode. But you can override the override of the override by downgrading the gmail app to system app version, which has the dark mode when you enable force dark mode from Developer options. I love the dark mode gmail. It just awesome!
Hope that helps!

Good tip with the force dark mode, thanks! With the turning off on reboot though, is that meant to apply to the accent color option too? I've set that and icon shape and it seems to keep resetting itself... It seems silly to reset theme options like that, but that would explain why I keep losing them...

No way around this afaik, but I'm sure someone will come up with an app or something to enable on boot.

Looking online, I can see the steps where to enable this so that it has a dark mode. My 2XL, on December patch, and latest Google Maps build does not have the color scheme choice to turn dark mode on.
Anyone else have this issue? I cannot find it for the life of me.

Just tried it. Works fine for me.
The map remains white until you actually start navigating.

I actually don't have the choice to enable a dark mode. Cannot even get to the point of navigating to see if the dark mode works.
Settings > Navigation settings > Color Scheme....I don't have that choice.
Where are you finding it at?

Same as where the article states.
Probably a slow rollout just like all the other dark mode updates for the Google apps.
Anybody know a way to toggle Light/Dark mode on an individual app basis without root?
I personally like have my navigation drawer a in dark mode, but that means setting the dark mode globally in the display settings. However, there are many apps I don't like in dark mode such as Google Keep and Google Photos. But I can't seem to find a local setting to change those back to light mode.
I enabled dark mode and it annoyed me how Google now was still all white. I was pleased to see it go dark for some odd reason when I changed my display size. I'm not mad!
What size, I've tried them all but still white screen...(Jesus that sounds like a horrible movie)

Lmao make sure you have nuanced dark selected in themes first. In display size it was default then I changed it to small and Google now feed went dark. Now it's always dark no matter display size.

Whats Nuanced Dark?
What I do is that I have a Tasker profile to set dark mode to On when oem_black_mode becomes 1.
This Dark Mode toggle in Tasker sets Google's dark mode flag to on.

Nice ?? I bought Tasker years ago, but I could never get the hang of it. Like whatever you just said just went WHOOSH over my head
Can you change font style ( no size), to Roboto bold
Hi everyone!
I've tried to force the dark mode in the developer options, but the reboot of the phone automatically deactivates it. Anyway, the dark theme is not applied to all applications (Etsy, for instance...). I have also a Oneplus 6T and everything gets dark. Has anyone noticed this issue? Do I have to modify other options to make it work stably? Thank you in advance
When you use 'dark mode' your Google apps are dark.
However, many other apps will not.
Attached is a simple Magisk module which 'forces' dark mode at boot time.
This will turn SOME apps which are in light mode into dark mode (if they do not have a dark mode themselves).
Your mileage will vary ... it will work for SOME apps, but not for ALL !!!
For example, my 3 banking (normally all 'white') are nicely turned into darkish grey.
Also the authenticator which I use to sign in into government websites is nicely turned into dark.
Microsoft 2FA authenticator is also turned into dark (normally white).
Strava app - for example - does not turn into dark.
If you like dark mode, give it a try and see if it works on your non-dark apps.
What does this module do? Well, very simple, it sets the following property to 'true'.
Code:
/system/bin/toolbox setprop debug.hwui.force_dark true
This has the same effect as enabling the 'Override force-dark' mode in developer options.
The disadvantage of the developer options is that it is (a) manual and (b) does not 'stick' after reboot.
Try ... and post please if it works on your apps (ideally with a screenshot).
If you're scared of the module, the go to developer settings and turn on 'Override force-dark'. Then check your app.
If you uninstall the module, you're back to 'normal' as well (no harm done).
This is great. Thanks. Want to confirm if this module will work on the Pixel 6 (non-Pro) too?
Edit: It does work on the Pixel 6.

Attached an example from an app called 'Obsidentify' (see screenshots).
Great mod
The reason force dark is a developer option is because it works very badly. The aosp messaging application, for example, makes text illegible if force dark is enabled.
Or you can use the DarQ app. It forces dark mode on a PER app basis. It works with root and without. It works with A11 and A12 fyi. Been rocking it for a couple years.

I've been using DarQ since the first release. A godsend. Only issue is that it fails on some apps and it simply cannot turn forced dark mode on for those apps ever because it sometimes cannot have the hook over the launch of those apps. I see the difference because OnePlus' own app dark mode feature works flawlessly on those apps.
I wanted to report a bug. In the camera app the ui takes on wrong colors, for example the menu to turn on the flash. Or the photo grid.
Also in google photos some photos in the gallery appear with wrong colors.
