So, starting to switch my V20 (996US on Alpha-Omega Oreo ROM) to dark mode.
Many apps now have a switch.
I've installed the Dark Mode app to get some more apps into dark mode.
Installed the LG G8 Black Theme in the system settings to get the system settings, default dialer, etc. into dark mode.
What other dark mode tweaks am I missing?
For example, how do we get dark mode gmail in Oreo?
How do we get the notifications darker?
You should use a theme that has built in dark notifications. Most mark bencze themes that are dark mode have that option.

I haven't heard of any free ones that do. Out of the paid ones, here are some specific ones mentioned by someone on the Subreddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/lgv20/comments/arfj5n/anybody_know_any_other_lg_dark_oreo_themes_that/
Also, one member recently discussed trying to get dark notifications with Substratum themes in the past but having trouble:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/lg-v20-reveiw-modding-guide-mid-2019-t3930639/page9
It's a shame there's no easy free way to darken the notifications.
Any other tips for darkening the phones? (Like Gmail and a few other apps)?
I use muify, a worthwhile paid app, that you can color however you like, it's a sister app of Bottom Quick Settings that does the same.
Youz might be interested to know dark mode uses more power on an LCD because dark mode had to block out the white backlight behind the lcd. The opposite is the case on an OLED because it doesn't have a backlight : )

Thanks for these suggestions and for the tips about the backlight.
The only free theme with dark notifications that I could find for the LG V20 - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lge.wsdeveloper.black.mios
Mios Black
It's quite nice overall!

Got the same unavailable message. Strange to see a free LG theme being blocked in the U.S. I don't think there are any other sources than the external sites you see when searching. FWIW, I've used several apps from the APKPure site in the past without problems. I keep one of my spare V20s in a "minimized" configuration with no Google accounts attached and all apps either sideloaded or installed through Titanium Backup.
And in case anyone missed it, someone in that review/modding guide thread mentioned the free Substratum theme Sai's Oreo Theme that also has dark notifications (and it's not geoblocked in the U.S.).

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!

Oh dude the smart world themes are so bad. I mean i get that they're free but they are just bad!
Just a heads up for anyone looking to darken things up on their XZ1C...
I decided to make myself a guinea pig for the Substratum theming engine with the Andromeda plugin. The bright white menus were driving me crazy. It worked!
Here are the steps I took:
1. Install Substratum engine/app on phone
2. Purchased and installed Andromeda app on phone
3. Installed Swift Black theme (noted as compatible with Android 8.0.0)
4. Downloaded and unzipped the Andromeda client batch folder to my PC
5. Enabled ADB debugging on phone
6. Set the connection to "Transfer files" on phone
7. Ran the batch file on my PC
8. Batch file automatically runs Substratum in Andromeda mode on phone
9. Selected Swift Black theme
10. Selected "Android 8 - Nexus and Pixel" in dropdown menu
11. Applied all available overlays in Swift Black theme
12. Rebooted phone
I was pleasantly surprised after I rebooted. Everything looks perfect! No crashes. So far, all menus and apps seem to have themed correctly. Notifications look as they should.
EDIT: I found one small hiccup. Notifications on the lockscreen are still white. Font is a bit hard to read. I just disabled lockscreen notifications, since i'm wearing a smartwatch.
EDIT 2: Phone dialer app not theming
Cheers for the tips, I tried it and it works.
Great.
Thanks for sharing.
I can't seem to get black on the phone app though, everything else looks fab. Am I missing something?

I am having that problem too.
Hopefully by the end of the week I'll have a theme released for XPERIAS. Settings, SystemUI and the Dialer is done, almost finished the framework but as usual a new version of Android brings new code so figuring that out, on top of Android Studio and the Substrtum theme template is taking time. Might have to disable Sonys theme app too as I know the theme apks also have their own assets which overlay certain colours.
EDIT: Confirmed that Sonys themes will need to be uninstalled because they overlay the top of Substratum themes. @Didgesteve, @WaxysDargle, can you post some screenshots of the themed menus etc please?
Does this require root

lockscreen notifications still white. i did see one android system notification that looked right, but messaging, email etc are still white with grey text.
however, that did fix my power menu colors (black now)
what theme(s) are you using? i think some of this could be related to which themes we are using.
also, maybe we should try "Other" instead of "Android 8 - Pixel and Nexus"?

No, they are standard white with black writing. But I didn't tick the framework box (top option) in the Swift Black. I think playing with the three dropdowns underneath that first tick option will decide what colour your notifications are and what colour the writing is. That's where you will find the solution. I'm not that fussed about getting notifications black. Previous experience with Layers on my Z3c leads me to believe that it's incredibly difficult to get notifications right and you usually end up making some app or other unreadable. Swft Black is great, but I think Spectrum is also worth a look, a couple of apps look better with that.

Notifications theming has become much more streamlined in recent months. I think this is just a matter of "what has Sony done to the lockscreen".
Dark notifications and menus are the main reasons I theme at all.

Again, Sonys themes overlay certain colours in certain apps, in each theme there are about 7 or 8 assets from the framework to the SystemUI so if a certain colour isn't changing it's because Sonys theme has taken preference. I've removed all of them so Substratum is the main theme engine and not Sonys.

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.

Did realise for some apps, after an update, the task bar stays dark. So it might be individual apps having to update.

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.

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

Factory reset seems like a huge risk now.I mean what if that doesn't fix the problem and u ll be stuck with a useless phone where u cant download any apps or do anything
Maybe you habe disabled any important System-App for installation. Try to enable all apps and install the Updates again
Put it into battery saving mode...then put it back to normal mode...that usually fixes the no update to playstore ect
so far cleared cache, removed account, still can't seem to update preloaded samsung apps from the galaxy apps store (yes, cleared the app data as well). Google Play Store working fine though...
Update: Seems it was my work wifi, worked at home. Weird
Anyone know how to change the transition effects on the s9+ after the pie update?
Driving me insane trying to find it.
All i've found is a setting to turn it on & off again in biometrics settings! I still can't change what style i want? Any help with this would be very welcomed please.
Also, i want to change the default light to dark theme setting, but it's telling me i can't change it whilst i have a theme on from the theme store! How dumb is that! Good one samsung! I can only have a dark settings theme, without using a theme from your store!! How stupid!!

This part actually makes sense. The default theme is probably built so that it can change between both light and dark. Specifically built themes would not have a need for this functionality as the theme is already built the way the themer wanted it to look.

Yes i get that, but It's the "night mode" setting that chages the notifications and settings background, from light to dark that i want to keep dark, when i have a theme from the store set.
I have only managed to find one theme in the store that lets me keep the night mode active. But i am not that keen on it. Just was hoping there was a way to keep the night mode atvive when a theme was set.
Do you know where the transition settings are on pie at all? Want to change the style, but now can't find the setting?

Just apply the default theme and dark mode switch activates. Guess it's not compatible due to Google/Samsung implementation

Thank you for your reply, yes i have noticed that i can change it to dark node ONLY when set to the default theme.
Seems a little silly really, why put that option there & give you the option of changing the theme as well, only to discover, it wont work with a chosen theme!
Like i mentioned, there is one theme i have found that works with night mode, but i'm not to keen on it.
Shame!
Ok so has anyone found the page transition settings yet?
Customisation is key to Android, as everyone knows, but when you are limited to only certain customisations, it kinda defeates the object!?
Just flashed stock pie and it's missing dark theme? Anybody knows where can it be dl-ed, I can't find it on lg world :S
Nevermind figured it out its on accesibility->vision :facepalm:

Hi,
Is this the same as the High Contrast theme in Oreo?
Or is it the colour inversion that turns colours into ugly hues?
Would you pls also let me know if it is a system wide one? Meaning dark notifications as well?
Thanks.

Sorry, but can you pls reconfirm if it is system wide black theme including notification as well? If you don't mind me telling, your answer is a bit ambiguous.
Installing and updating substratum themes are a chore which I would rather not indulge in.
Thanks for your reply.

Hi,
The question was whether stock ROM has system wide black theme with black notifications , not for the substratum theme.
Thanks for your time anyway.

It's not substratum theme. The stock rom has no black theme with black notifications, just black theme like the G8 theme from play store, with white notifications or the high contrast theme, also with white notifications. Substratum does not work for me, it's pain in the a** on pie.
im using mark benzce pixel experience dark theme on v30 oreo. i didnt do anything just installed app
and it has dark notifications also
same theme has different version for g8
and it has also dark notifications

Try this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lge.jtunes.dark
Or this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lge.jtunes.black
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lge.wsdeveloper.ux8.black
This is a great option. And the best thing is that it's free

Judging by the package name of the theme, I'd guess you are the Dev behind them. I have two questions for you
1. Is the Dual-Sim switcher themed too in black notification variant?
2. Is there an accent-color switcher somewhere ? If not, are there any color variants possible (I'd take anything non-blue for QS switcher - red, grey, orange )?

I didnt try to use dual sim due of all my unit is Korean Variant but i can assure you this theme is in dark notification just as what an screenshot sample from playstore
But for sure this is all just stock color
Just the skin change to black
Sorry for my bad english
You can check or try it
But dont reboot the device
To test uf the notification got dark contact us
Or after applying theme pls plus your phone to pc or laptop and see if uts dark
If yes
Then you can reboot to take the full effect
It should be under developer options/ night mode/always on

If you want a black theme for V30 on pie, this one works good, it does all notification in Black and blacks out everything. I used a few others, but are not compatible for pie so i went looing for one that did and found this one.. This one when you download, you press on the app and gives you the option pie or oreo (screenshot) then it asks for permissions based on each firmware and does its thing. It works, even on lockscreen and notifications everythign is black. Ill attach pics
