Themes / Apps / Mods [MOD][MAGISK] Force Dark @ boot - Google Pixel 6 Pro
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.

New dark mode. android 10
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!

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...

Android 10 Dark Mode: All or Nothing?
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.
How to force system-wide dark-mode in MSM-Xtended (pie) ?
Normally in pie, from what I've been reading, there is a toggle for dark mode in Settings -> Display but in the custom ROM called MSM-Xtended, it is not there but instead had certain themes, but not all apps pick that up, like the Play Store, which remains light style even though I'm using one of the dark themes that MSM-X provides. Is there an option that can manually set in a configuration file somewhere to satisfy apps that look for the system wide setting to get them to use dark mode?
[App] Native edge lighting notifications for any app
Hi. This app enables Samsungs native edge lighting notifications for any installed app on your phone. <Moderator Edit> Paid app link removed. You just need to read instructions carefully and it works with latest android. App is using original edge lighting settings in your phone, so you can use any built-in effect, color and you can fully customize your edge lighting using system settings. App is just "wrapper" around sasmung native notifications. Here is original how-to: Because of recent Samsungs changes, there are more steps required to make this application function again. First, enable all the applications that you want to use with edge lighting in this application. After that, go to Settings / Display / Edge Screen / Edge Lighting / Edge lighting style / Color / Custom color and go into section By text. Here you input all the application names, which you've enabled in this application and select colors for them. After that, it will work because this app will trigger a new notification with application title and it will trigger original edge ligthing effect. And if you are unsure, you can watch this video tutorial, how to set the app.

Themes / Apps / Mods [ROOT] Tune saturation, white balance and enable HBM on your Pixel!
[BIG UPDATE] User Adrian got inspired by this and created a Magisk module to make things even easier and without the need to keep apps running on background, check it out! GitHub Hey! I'm in love with my Google Pixel 6 Pro, however, I don't like the screen at all, I wanted to be able to customize how it looks. Been looking for a way to modify how it looks, CF.lumen fixed the white balance, Sa2ration changes the saturation of your display, you can decrease it all you want, or make it as saturated as you want. All this apps should/may work on other devices too. CF.lumen - Apps on Google Play Adapts your screen's colors based on sun's position, sleep pattern, and sensors play.google.com [ROOT] Sa2ration - Apps en Google Play Alterar su saturación en Android Oreo (descripción leída!) play.google.com [Paid app, HBM to use the max brightness of the device without auto brightness] Enable HBM in app and then enable and disable auto brightness in phone settings, not app settings, that way you will have the absolute maximum brightness of the display, you can enable on the app settings restore hbm after screen off to have it at max brightness always. *There is a QS hbm toggle too* High Brightness Mode - Apps on Google Play See your screen in bright sunshine. High brightness mode for your phone play.google.com For CF.lumen, enable location, set permissions for the app and do the following: 1 - Location, tap to update or input manually any location, that's only to avoid crashes when manually changing white balance, disable location after that if you don't need it. 2 - Master filter mode, custom, there you can modify RGB values to your taste, I use 0.955 on Red, 0.975 on Green, 1.000 on Blue, but feel free to try until you enjoy how it looks. Now, for Sa2ration, after installing, simply move the slider until you like that you have, if it does not change, use the setting "enable color management" it's kinda glitchy and may requiere it or not on your device, I use 1.10, really like how it looks! [Bonus, under developer settings, you can fully hide the display cutout, I also recommend to set the dpi to 410-430 with or without cutout as it will make some landscape animations a single slide instead of two, try pulling down notification panel when landscape mode, try all animations 0.5x too, you may like how it looks, if you see an app crashing disable developer settings as it may create issues like that sometimes] [Bonus 2, try Iconify magisk module, you can customize your Pixel with that, even enable pure dark oled theme, thanks to Facundo Holzmeister from @howtomen on tiktok!] GitHub - Mahmud0808/Iconify: Customize Boring Android UI Customize Boring Android UI.
