Anyone found a really good black theme compatible with EMUI 9?
Battery settings, turn on dark mode...its the best and most consistent

You mean change the icons? There are pixel/aosp themes just Google them... Also dark themes available... Emui8 themes work just fine with emui9. Also you can edit those icons with the EMUI theme editor from the play store

I've got 30 or 40 lg themes on Google Play so I'm looking forward to adding Huawei to it and see what kind of things I can do

Looking forward to your themes, mark. The LG themes, especially the G7 ones, were amazing.
Basically the whole phone go "dark" after we enabled dark mode in battery settings.
And yes, including the toggles.
However, for messaging app. You will need to switch it to dark mode manually in the top right setting icon.
Don't think we will need a dark theme for this one.
Tried the dark mode. However, anyone still getting a white 'light' navigation bar even when using dark mode? Especially when using apps, etc.
Yup, just waiting for a decent dark theme like everyone else.
I wake in the early hours, so need a theme that doesn't burn my retinas.

Yes its quite annoying. However there is a free app called Navbar Apps that can fix that although not ideal.

Tried Navbar Apps. However, I'm guessing the task manager keeps killing the app.
Did realise for some apps, after an update, the task bar stays dark. So it might be individual apps having to update.

Is anyone currently using a theme besides the in house dark mode right now? Specifically not one that just does icons. Before I start tinkering I wouldn't mind trying something out to tide me over. And I guess I want to get confirmation that themes even work and that Huawei didn't block them or something ridiculous.
Themes do work and Theme Editor for EMUI works, too, kind off, doesn't support EMUI 9 yet, you have to make do with 8.
I'm just using Theme Editor for Icons and Fonts and KLWP to get my Homescreen to look like I want it.

Hmmm I hadn't been able to get any full themes to work at all. But I'm thinking maybe it's because I had a crappy themes app installed by default. Once I installed app gallery it updated the themes app and it has way more options now. That might be why. But the ones I tried last night from Google Play prior to this only changed the icons. They were for emui8 which I understand likely won't work in everything but none of them did anything. May have to try again with new themes app
Ok so for fun I did try a couple emui 8 themes and it looks we can theme everything. Mind you none of them worked well. So I'm hoping to start making something. But first I gotta figure out why I can't decompile any system apps. Everything errors out so that's a bit of an issue

Well i have one theme working on thr G6 right now and I have a thread open in the themes and apps section for support and feedback.
Now this is slightly tricky because there are some obstacles I am facing with porting some of these over. I cannot port over them all due to some extreme ui differences in a few apps. The main issue (but not the only one ) is because with the G6 there are a few apps where the text is hard coded white and thr same apps the trxt is hard coded black. So in short one device will get screwed with either dark text on a dark background or white text on a light background which creates readability issues. I most certainly cannot have that happen. And also the G6 has a lot of different elements that can be themed. So if i were to add those to an exisiting v20 theme it will cause the v20 to no longer work because it's telling the theme engine to theme xxx icon or xxx color which isn't supported. Thus the theme doesn't function. So that's an issue.
So what the plan is, is to port over a few themes that I can get it to function properly on both devices and the ones that can't will have to be a new theme.
Off the top of my head the ones that can expect to work on all devices are: Dark Nougat (already updated and live), Flow, Indigo flow and crush.
Remix, Vector, Dark Material, Dark AOSP, Pixel Ui are not going to work and will have to be new themes that will only work with the G6.
I'm not sure about Dark Ui theme yet. It may or may not work.

I tested this theme for the Dev and it definitely had white on white text in the sms app. The dialer had black text (ABC) on a dark grey background as well but I don't know if either are hard coded.

Interesting you say that, because I have some issues with some of the LG free themes from their smartworld store. Mainly with the notification panel. When there is a notification, the text is white same as the background. I am surprised on how they can mess up big time like that!

Here's a thread to help p2 users know which substratum themes are working on our pixel xl 2's with andromeda. Post your pics and setup combos.
Im am using swift dark for everything with icon accents enabled, except I used sprite to move the clock to the left. So far the few oreo compatible themes i have tried worked no problem. Just make sure you don't try an out of date theme for system ui mods.
I did the system stuff like toggles and settings. Found that apps update too often and with overlays they often crash on open. Can't have it be that unreliable.
In particular N Navbar Pro dark gray should cut back on burn in concerns.
Swift dark or black seems pretty good though, lots of maintenance and covers a lot of apps.

November update fixes the Navbar burn in. Grays out when an app is opened.
I just loaded Swift dark on my rooted Pixel 2xl. Looking pretty flawless so far.

You definitely mentioned that in the other response. Sorry about that... Anyway, how did you apply it? In the app I don't see Oreo or pixel launcher when it asks which. Or did you apply it in substratum? Sorry, a little new with some of this.

Stopped rooting after the G6 so haven't been around.. Cracked the G6 screen and got stuck with it for a while too. Then went to the V30 for a couple of months until this dropped. I love this phone. Will definitely need some of your themes for it.

Ok so I've got something working that's pretty cool I think!
Here's a few pics of it. I'll let you guess what it is! Had to do a separate version for V40 because all the other versions crash on it.
And separately here's an icon pack I've been working on that I may or may not add to a theme. Haven't decided yet. But for now they're a standalone pack for lg home with adaptive options and also additional adaptive icon shapes unlocked!

So you figured out how to alter the notification card bg? Nice! The playstore is overrun with pixel themes though..
Is it possible to pick a new color other than the default orange? I probably want a blue or something, but I don't really want to mess with framework apks. Is this yet possible? I did check the asus theme app but I did not see an option for that.
Yeah. Use the themes app, go to my themes, and then find the create button. If you can't find it I'll reply with more info
Put a blue picture as background and make the theme, change your wallpaper back after.

thanks I found the create button under my creations. I can now change the colour settings and icon shape, wallpaper, etc. I'm just playing around with it now. I think I can get it the way I like from here on my own. thanks again man!
EDIT: Actually, it looks better now, but it kicked me out of dark mode in settings and such. I actually prefer it this way, but its also interesting. I wonder if any of the mods I tried initially may not have worked because of the default theme's dark mode. hmmm...
I wanted to make my status bar always black with white icons. used to work on my old phone, but it was old. so yea doesn't work

Got my view 20 yesterday here in Holland, ran one update after the other , landed on build 9.1.0.230 and went looking right away for a compatible dark theme to get rid of that annoying white layout..
Tried a a couple of dark themes developed for EMUI 9.0 / 9.1 , quite buggy oln Magic 2.1.0, but at the end I think I found one quite compatible and looking great (just changed the wallpaper):
(Edited)Deep Black by Maurydes
Nearly perfect so far, only the 3 navigation keys/icons at the bottom in some situations are not really good visible, but then again, I am not that young anymore, needing reading glasses.
BY THE WAY, I'm not using the stock launcher, whatever it's called...
I go with - Nova P rime launcher - all the way and all the time, since many years ago...
Cheers
EDIT 4 aug. 2019
Another way , easier...
Just go to the Play store and run it.
Not exactly the same dark theme I had, but it's as nice and dark as... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=emui.en.com.gpix2dark
Also, try this
Third party theme app to push various themes: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.deishelon.lab.huaweithememanager&hl=en
And follow the instructions to the letter.

Interesting stuff. I've tried a few themes from the Huawei/ honor store to change things round but the settings always seems to stay same. White! How did you get the emui theme? Is it accessible from the theme app on the v20? Many thanks.

You will needed a third party app that will push the theme to the stock theme app

Thanks for the ideas. I have just tried the theme. It works to some extent but not ideal. All the settings are now all black and cannot read the text even! :laugh: think I'll go back and keep looking around. Good to know there are workarounds though!

I found many dark themes working fine here : https://club.hihonor.com/in/themes/247/forums.htm
Search for the ones compatible with Magic UI 2.1 (read description ). After installing a theme, reboot the phone immediately...
If it doesn't work for you, or you are doing something wrong or there is something wrong with your device ...
Good luck
Minimal dark working flawless so far:
