How would you apply that app when you are trying to fix the theme?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sek0n:
After installing the theme, I used bk disabler to disable the "Theme" and "Samsung Theme" app services from ever starting up again.

Just disabling the apps didn't seem to work for me.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] mannequin:
try reinstalling the theme, there shouldn't be anything wrong with that screen (it's dark like the rest of the theme).
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] milojoseph:
I think there's been a glitch .. Something on Samsung end.

Okay. Let me try anf reinstall. Im on an s7e with s8 port rom.

---------- Post added at 02:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 AM ----------

Tried but not changing the theme of contacts to dark. What rom you on?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] mannequin:
i'm on S8, stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] shegeloaf:
Explain why.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] envy~:
guys what you are experiencing is just a cache of the default theme, overlapping with my theme, those modification are not supposed to be themed by usual means, I just did the overlay trick with themes or add more resources from the original app, that's why I always say on every thread I make "THEME IS THE SAME APP, YOU HAVE TO UNINSTALL "COMPLETELY" OLD VERSION BEFORE TRYING THE OTHER ONE Blah BLAH.. "

do not install same theme twice or update existing apk and by completely I mean after uninstall theme, clear cache on storage settings, clear theme store from recent panel (ram) and others. Samsung always changing names of values on every system app releases so I cannot guarantee all app in the future will be the same as the version of apps I got, I'm on sac23 S8 port ROM for S7 edge.. and I don't have any problems you guys have posted. and also remember we are now on S8 thread, I cannot check bugs from other unit/other custom roms.

apktool I used is Tickle My Android, you'll need PC.

so this is what I did with mine, after downloading sac23 S8 rom for my phone I grab the framework files first from the zip, (framework-res.apk and, and SystemUI.apk) and install it on the apktool, then decompile the framework-res.apk with the same tool and change the color value of notification title text to white, then recompile it with original signature, open the rom zip with winzip, copy and replace the recompiled framework apk to the same directory Ive got it from. *from the tool it also have a section where you can make flashable zips of recompiled apps, I just don't dare to play with framework-res.apk while already using the rom that's why I did it from the start and before flashing the rom, (now I have a rom with white notification title text even on the default white theme)

That tip I've posted is for advanced users that can play with framework-res.apk, I DID NOT TRY to make an flashable zip of framework so follow the tip at your own risk.

or to make life easier choose rom that has a feature to do notification coloring like renovate, you don't have to bother doing all this xD

Caution : you should have basic knowledge about apktool and how it works atleast. Tickle my android is very user friendly.. About the nav bar, I don't have it so I don't know yet where it's located on the framework resources. I'll check later maybe I can incorporate it to the theme (I hope so) I'll tell you guys if I have found anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] suzook:
Galaxy s8+ with latest adqe fw, still have white strip on bottom of notification shade....any ideas? Uninstall, reinstall, wipe cache...blah blah. Not complaining, just curious.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] milojoseph:
Same did everything. Possible weird how it's broken
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] robbiekhan:
Randomly, like a day afterwards etc, the previous theme reverts back from this one. I have cleared cache and data of samsung themes of course.

I guess I could disable Samsung Themes app with PDP, and assume that this won't cause any issues if I rebooted the phone and it saw there was no themes app installed?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] mannequin:
in fact, that's the right way to do it. install the theme, stop both Themes processes from Running apps in the Developers options (monitor the Cache option there too), go to BK Disabler and find same two packages, drill into their services (SERVICE button), disable all, clear data for both and disable them. reboot. check Running apps / Cache just in case (once you see and kill the cached process it's not coming back). the theme will never revert after everything is said and done. system won't freak out either, it even removes Themes menu from the Settings this way.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] robbiekhan:
Perfect, that's the way I will do it then :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Great theme.installed on Galaxy j700T on a S7 edge/note edge ROM. looks great!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] envy~:
bro you sure you don't have the dark theme I've posted on S7 edge forum before installing this? it's the same base apk, I think your experiencing loss of assets form the theme specially the lock.apk (systemui) the official way of removing theme is to delete it from the theme store then reboot, maybe you did some deleting from the root partition? or a cleaning app that causing you problems?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] milojoseph:
Cleaned everything started fresh. Cleared cache in recovery.. Sdmaid and in the settings. It doesn't bother me but it's there haha.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zorachus:
Theme looks great, but I have a strange issue. Every 10 minutes or so the theme will automatically reset back to default. How to I force your theme to stay put ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
For rooted people-It will stay put for sure if u use this method: apply trial theme. Be fast before theme runs out or u have to redo all steps-go to root explorer, go to: root/data/overlays,copy S8 theme from trialjson file, then paste the theme from trialjson to userjson, make sure S8 theme is no longer in trialjson file, only userjson, back out one step to just all the files contained in overlays, now delete the entire preferences file. Once deleted, reboot, once booted up go back to your themes and select S8 theme and apply again now no longer as a trial version.u may have to apply a former theme first so u can select S8 theme again since it was already applied when phone rebooted. The point of reapplying is to apply the theme without the trial now attached to it.( will notice it no longer says trial.) And don't worry your preferences reset and repopulate once rebooted.hope it helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] TugBoatTed:
This theme is absolutely stunning. The problem is that I'm not rooted and cannot for the life of me figure out how to make the theme stick for very long. I feel like I've tried every method posted in this thread.

If someone with long lasting success could provide a detailed guide I would be forever grateful!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
If u follow my instructions it will last.ive had it applied for over 12hrs and this method works flawlessly with most themes I've ever used
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] silitek:
Guy saids he have no Root...[emoji1] u need that for moving jsonfile.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Ohh my bad I misread, I thought he said he HAD root..sorry. yea best advice for non rooted users would be package disabler..it helped me before
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] TugBoatTed:
I've tried both of the package disablers. Can't get it to stick for more than an hour or so max.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] envy~:
when those apps (theme store and theme center) are disabled, can you still manage to open theme store app link from home screen? if yes maybe you're pressing it by mistake, that will trigger again the trial countdown of the theme.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] mannequin:
i posted the solution just few posts up. you need BK Disabler and to follow the instructions closely. it hasn't reverted for me once for the last 3 days. a reboot might trigger Themes process again (although usually doesn't), in that case you need to stop it from Running processes under Developer options.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] TugBoatTed:
I tried your method. Perhaps I messed it up. I did however reboot my phone. If it doesn't stick through reboot its not good enough for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] mannequin:
the reason it might show up after a reboot is that BK is not fast enough to stop it. it depends on how the rest of your system is setup. once you see and kill it in the Cached processes, it shouldn't come back though. now, if it reverts without rebooting, you're a missing a step somewhere.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] .Monkey:
Does this theme work on S7 Edge? If not, is there a version that is for the S7 Edge?

Edit: works great, I just wish I could read my notifications on the black theme
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
I did everything you suggested but it hasn't worked. The processes never show up for me under developer options so I'm never able to stop them there but I disabled the packages and it still reverts after 10 minutes.

Will just use Samsung's High Contrast theme untill the back with no white notification is out?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] suaverc118:
Is there any way you can make one for purchase? I'd buy it. I'm having trouble making it stick after doing the method manaquin suggested. I really don't care for messing with it all the time and disabling apps for it to work. If not, I understand.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] luka189:
He can't because:

1. He isn't a Samsung partner or whatever they want for you to develop themes for their theme store.

2. The theme goes outside of what Samsung themes are alowed to change / modify, so it would never get accepted even if he was a Samsung partner.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] ISF:
I tested out the BLACK THEME with DarkNotification, you can see the review and installation steps here​

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] TugBoatTed:
This has inspired me to attempt again!

Probably belongs in OP.

---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------

So, I've managed to keep the theme through reboot. However, I had to go back into running apps to disable Themes.

Those of you who are successful with this via unrooted method, do you see Themes running after reboot and do you have a suggestion to stop it from starting on boot?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] envy~:
Wow thanks so much for this ☺️ I feel happy watching your video, I will put it on the OP when I update the thread with new versions.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Berkyt_rus:
The text in black notifications is too dark, make the tex white or brighter.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] suaverc118:
I did these exact steps and about 10 minutes later it reverts back to a stock look? Do I need to delete the APK and reinstall it? Or does that not make a difference?

1) applied free trial

2) checked running apps and stopped themes and Samsung themes.

3) cleared cache for Samsung themes (themes never popped up In cache)

4) went to apps and force stopped Samsung themes and cleared the storage.

5) followed the steps for BK disabled

6) rebooted
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] luka189:
He can't, read the OP, not doable in the parameters of a theme. Also stop demanding people do stuff and instead be thankful he shares his work at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Grigorijs:
It happens for me too :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] preot:
I'm facing the same problem.

Process com.samsung.android.themecenter starts alone. And this happens at all paid themes.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] suaverc118:
Ok, so far the theme has stuck over night. What I didn't do was use BK installer nor did I reboot. I don't know which did what. I will reboot and see if it sticks.

*Edit* so rebooting caused my phone to revert back to original theme again. Damn
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] zige:
Im doing almost same thing. But first after applying theme i go to disable those two apps with Package Disabler Pro (same kind of app like BK) and after that i force stop amd clear data and it stick. O have rebooted several times etc. and used theme like week or so without reverting back.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] suaverc118:
How are you able to do all that after package disabler? Doesn't that stop you from going into settings and finding them to stop them? I couldn't find Samsung theme after using disabler, but was able to find themes instead.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] TugBoatTed:
We need a tool that monitors apps and processes on boot. Think I've only seen that via xposed... alternatively we can quickly disable themes right when the phone boots up. There was a small time window for me to accomplish that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] truenitos:
Can you please make BLACK EDITION with STOCK NOTIFICATION COLOR? please.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] MMakoto:
same problem as everybody else, it works, reboot, then after a few minutes it reverts back.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] zige:
Oh yeah, sry. Im able to clear data from Package disabler itself. Then i go to developer settings and stop processes from there and after that they wont start again as those apps are disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] suaverc118:
If you don't mind, can you give me your exact step by step process please? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] B3311:
Using the black/dark notifications theme, and to my pleasant surprise it seems to stick it irregardless of reboots. I haven't had to move the .json files, not needed to reapply, nothing. Just got lucky I guess! Rooted, BatStock ROM/kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] shegeloaf:
Installed sac23 s8 port rom to trt this mod and its beautiful. Just not to happy with the rom it self.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] zige:
1. Apply theme

2. Go to Package disabler and disable Themes app and that other one dont remember what it was called. Also clear data from there (at least its possible on Package Disabler Pro)

3. Go to Developer settings - Running Services and stop Themes from there if its not stopped.

4. Maybe not needed but i cleared recents also just on case :p
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] TugBoatTed:
I think it works really well for rooted users. Those of us who are unrooted have various issues getting this applied and keeping it that way.

I will say though... I'm on day 3 without it reverting back. The key appears to be quickly disabling services when you reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] envy~:
come to think about it, Samsung is selling themes, so they don't want you to do all those stuff for that reason,

They'll do anything to patch it by updates or something, that explains why some of you are having problems.

It's a miracle that they still allow installing themes via apk, (that's supposed to be for developer purposes onl, but still thanks for that we have a gateway for indie themes like this to get installed)

*new black versions are on the way, manage to get black nav bars on STOCK keyboard but still trying to figure out how to do it with 3rs party keyboards.. wish me luck.

*for rooted users that's using blacknotifs I suggest you edit your own framework-res.apk. (basic knowledge on using apktool is needed) when decompiled just navigate to res/values/color.xml and look for the line that has "notification_title_text" and change its value to a light color like #fffffffff or #ffc8c8c8, recompile and put it back to your system (via flashable zip or inject it to your rom and reinstall rom) that will make almost all notification title text to white and make black notification cards perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] shegeloaf:
I'm rooted. But seems like too much science there.. cant i just wait for your next release?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] luka189:
If you are refering to the white notification colour, those files can NOT be changed by the theme. Your best bet is either using a ROM that supports changing the notification colour, using the white notification version, or bite down and go chew on some science.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] hslayer:
Hey I would like to thank you for this great theme.

Now I installed the Black_darknotif.apk and for some reason my notifications are still white. Did I do something wrong?

I am using S8+ on T Mobile, No Root.

Thanks!

Edit: NM, restarted my phone and my notifications are dark now! Thank you so much!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] envy~:
those modification are in fact already on the theme, that's why some of the notification title colors are white, it's just that "live" notifications that's upcoming from 3rd party unable to catch up with it (I hope you can get me) so it's still displaying the default color all the time, I really don't know why it's like that, I've spent countless of hours trying to figure it out but I can confirm that it's a theme concept limitation which cannot be changed.

so I've given a tip of changing it manually, if you have successfully done it, you'll have a white color notification title text always regardless of what theme you're using coz you did it from the framework file instead, so you have no choice but to use blacknotifs theme like this making it a curse :p using a custom rom that supports modification like that is the best choice, that science is really not that hard if you know what you're doing, just basic apktool knowledge will get what I mean.

you can get a lot of tutorials here on xda for that, the apktool I used is Tickle My Android for your reference.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] TugBoatTed:
I'm on day 5 with no revert. If you had a revert after reboot, then you need to remember to disable themes first thing upon boot. On the other hand, if it reverts during regular operation then I don't have a solution for you.

My p9 lite is stuck on the huawei logo, its been a week now. it all started when I flashed a wrong update.app (i mistakenly flashed the rollback update.app while i was on b161)

now I cannot use the device anymore, i can only get to bootloader mode but cant flash anything

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] solidservo:
I had the exact same problem. I got out of that situation by rooting the phone, and re-flashing it.

My bootloader is unlocked yet I am unable to fastboot flash anything as i get errors.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] BaXeL:
HEY! I've done the same thing yesterday :D But now phone working great! I find the way :p

1. Download C432B160, Huawei Extractor and SRK Tool Huawei

2. Prepare your unlock bootloader code

3. Unpack UPDATE.APP by Huawei Extractor (You need files: boot.img, system.img, recovery.img, cust.img)

4. Go to folder SRK Tool Huawei -> Command

5. Put *.img files to Command folder

6. Put UPDATE.APP (Not extracted) on your sdcard in folder "dload"

6. Hold Shift + right right mouse button "Open the command line here"

7. Plug your phone in fastboot mode (vol- and power button then fast plug USB)

8. Type in cmd "fastboot devices" (Now you probably see your device)

9. Type:

fastboot oem unlock xxyourfastbootunlockcodexx

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash cust cust.img

fastboot flash system system.img (that command takes 2-3 minutes)

10. Unplug Your device

11. Hold vol- vol+ and power button, it will install UPDATE.APP from your sdcard

12. Done! :D

You have to flash custom oeminfo.img to debrand your phone (it's fully legal). You'll find it on htcmania
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] ughhead:

if you don't mind can you explain this further and how it will help my situation? :)
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] BaXeL:
Yes, you can't flash C432B160 if your phone is branded by operator, the flashing will always end at error. Flashing oeminfo.img and Huawei firmware is fully legal and you don't loose warranty. And debranding is a good thing because (in future) you can download faster official Nougat.
