If you have adb (you can use LADB app to give adb rights to tasker through wifi, without connecting to pc. You just have to do it again after every reboot).

In tasker create a new profile, chose application , select which apps you want to use dark mode, link the profile to 2 tasks (in and exit of the apps).

To the task which create dark mode use adb wifi , and in command write "setprop debug.hwui.force_dark true".

In the exit do the same but write "setprop debug.hwui.force_dark false".

You don't need darq app at all. It eat probably less battery than using darq.

I'm using it this way in fold 5, working fine.

You can actually do similar to chose which apps to be in immersive mode (i also do this) by using immersive mode on or off for the 2 tasks.

Because i also use shizuku, you can start shizuku from tasker if you have adb rights by also doing something similar:

Adb wifi and use as command "sh /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/moe.shizuku.privileged.api/start.sh".

I found all this after reading many many pages and trying many things. So are actually very useful to some.

A new hope for Darq?????!!!

[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
It's the same option as we have currently, probably toggles the same system property. Makes no difference to DarQ except possibly a one line change somewhere.
[Android Apps and Games] znbaboy:
The override-force dark toggle never works for me since A13. I thought it was broken
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
This will probably be no different then.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Yeah, apps like Amazon, Dunkin donuts, my bank app, etc have no dark mode. Force dark mode in dev options does nothing. Funny enough, DarQ works on those apps for me. Amazon has some flaws but is waaaay better than their awful themed app. You would think Google would enforce their app guidelines on an app like that, but I guess having Bezos money, it doesn't matter what Google wants.
[Android Apps and Games] xavier-fs:
How to start DarQ in background with Tasker everytime the app is killed and I have to restart it, its annoying but I havent figure out how to keep the service running, tried via intents but nothing is working so far?
[Android Apps and Games] trevtdogg:
yes, android 10 or later.

Would it be possible to have an app that uses the invert color accessibility feature on a app basis?
[Android Apps and Games] ahmadalrayan:
Guys I love the app, but I would like to share a small problem I am having. I still use the discontinued Sony Xperia Sketch app on my Galaxy Tab S7 FE, & unfortunately It did not get a dark mode before it got discontinued, so I am currently using Darq to force add dark mode support to it. İt adds dark mode to said app perfectly, except the color pallete of changing the pen color. it shows where black should be as white.

Hey Guys,

I am currently using Darq app to add dark mode support in apps that do not support said mode, but I am currently experiencing an inconvenience, which is that when applying the dark mode on Sony Xperia Sketch app (which was discontinued before having a dark mode officially unfortunately) in my Galaxy Tab S7 F.E. through the DarQ app, the color pallete of changing the color of the pen does not show correctly, where the black color and the dark shades of chosen color appear as white and the light shades of chosen color, but choosing where would the black color and the dark shades should be actually changes to the dark colors, so the colors are working it is just that they appear on the color pallete as the wrong color when dark mode in DarQ app is enabled. please any help to enable dark mode on this particular app as I installed DarQ app specifically for this app to work with it
[Android Apps and Games] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
To enable dark mode, the entire app would need to be rewritten to provide the support. Since Sony no longer supports the app, they're not going to revisit it to enable dark mode. So, you'll need to either live with it or disable Darq for that app.
[Android Apps and Games] 93starletgt:
It's been a couple years that I visit this thread to see if there's any update. It's one of the best root apps ever. Shame that it doesn't work as good anymore and there's no development.
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
It's not in my control as to whether apps support force dark, more and more of them disable it over time, so it was always going to be less effective over time
[Android Apps and Games] znbaboy:
Android 15 will let you force apps to go dark, even if they don't support it

Android 15 may introduce a new “make all apps dark” feature that forces apps that don't have a dark theme to go dark.

www.androidauthority.com

HOPE?? (I didnt even read it yet lol)

EDIT: so it looks like it will do what the DarQ lsposed module did, but natively in Android.... 15.

Yes. We must wait for another android revision for this... unless someone is able to port it somehow 🤞
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Yes, it's a rewrite of force dark to be better it seems. DarQ may still be required to make it per-app.
[Android Apps and Games] 93starletgt:
Since this app hasn't been updated in forever, are there any other similar apps?
[Android Apps and Games] fobtob387:
There's nothing to update though? It works on app that support force dark.
[Android Apps and Games] sosimple:
You can do it without app with Tasker. (You still need adb rights exactly as darq).
[Android Apps and Games] arahknxs:
Any way for it to force "AMOLED dark mode" on apps aka pure black?

[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
You don't need to enable any Xposed module, just use the app
[Android Apps and Games] johnlgalt:
More info? Is the selective per-app dark mode not working, is the timed Dark mode not working, is the override dark mode function not working, what?

I've got plenty of screenshots I can show that it is working perfectly fine here using override method (and rooted).

And I just found this thread on Reddit that shows how to force enable dark mode on GMail build 2019.08.18.267044774.release (released on 4 Sep):

https://www.reddit.com/r/android_beta/comments/d2q75g/force_gmail_dark_theme_now/

But that has nothing to do with DarQ - this is supposed to be a server-side setting that we're manipulating to enable early....
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
One way to find out might be only applying a dark theme to an app that was not restored with Swift. Just an idea.
[Android Apps and Games] gettinwicked:
The times I installed it fresh, I did literally nothing with the app. Went to settings, apps and the problem started. There was nothing applying at all.

---------- Post added at 09:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 AM ----------

To clarify, you didn't install DarQ until AFTER you took the OTA to 10? That changes things if yes. I guess I assumed it was installed before. Makes more sense though.

As for the betas - my point was, the two betas I've been on, 9 and 10, some apps didn't work if installed after a clean install of a beta. But, in my experience, most do when already installed and setup, then taking the OTA (or flashing without the -w). That's all. I wasn't saying anything to the effect that you wouldn't necessarily know these things, or that you don't know what betas are like.
[Android Apps and Games] johnlgalt:
Correct, installed DarQ after taking Q OTA.

And I understand what you meant. I've seen the same behavior wrt apps and ßeta / new major OS version.

I've also seen the exact opposite (as has nearly everyone upgrading to a new major version of an OS) - where the installed app stops working, but a simple uninstall / reinstall gets it working again.

It's just weird that it (causes) crashes on your device and not mine.
[Android Apps and Games] gettinwicked:
Okay, so, this got way weirder. I decided to try again just for grins. Downloaded it, checked, no problem. Installed it, checked, no problem. Granted root, checked, no problem. Gave it usage permissions, checked, no problem. Then I started going through the apps that I want to put in dark mode, as I checked each one, checked app settings, no problem! WTF? I'm very happy it's working now, but, I tried this a few times before, and once it was installed, nothing else, it was causing the force close issue. I haven't done anything except clear cache and such with SD Maid and reboot today. So weird.
[Android Apps and Games] johnlgalt:
1) I'm glad you had the wherewithal to try it again.

2) I'm even more glad that it is not causing an issue *anymore*. I say anymore, because in the time since you first tried all this and now, I suspect that you've had one or more app updates.

Or, it could very well be that it needed to be carried over / restored to break, and then uninstalling and reinstalling fixed it. Who knows? :p

At least it works now - and you have access to it again.
[Android Apps and Games] benjaminries:
Hi, I have PMed you the results of this command. I have OnePlus 7 Pro running Oxygen OS Open Beta Android 10 (released Sept 3), latest unofficial TWRP, Canary-stream Magisk root. When I install the current DarQ apk, give it root permissions and Accessibility permissions, the app does not appear to have any ability to control the force-dark setting for all apps, or any apps individually.

If there's any solution, thank you in advance! When I manually enable force-dark in the Developer Options, imho the Google Now app, Assistant, Instagram, WhastApp, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and a few other apps look great. But others (Snapchat and Facebook) become unusable.

If there's an alternative free path to forcing dark mode on a per-app basis (Riru, EdXposed, Taichi, Tasker, Substratum, etc.) that is safe for Android 10, I would love to know. (I'm aware Swift Black can do it in Substratum for a couple of bucks.)
[Android Apps and Games] Sgace:
Hello, thnx for this very nice app.

After deinstalling the app the arrow on pixel launcher homescreen remains. Is there a way to revert this somehow?

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] laupuy:
Ok, just found, It's there if you have an accessibility service enabled, just disable it.

Edit

And/or if you have already deleted the app, enable an accessibility service and disable it
[Android Apps and Games] Sgace:
Holy crap, thank you so much. Didn't know this existed. It's gine now.

Turned out it was still there because of a service of another app I use.

[Android Apps and Games] jaj18:
Open the application and give accessability and root access. Then install this same app over it. Then try to open. It will crash two times. Will work after that.

Then if we close the app we will get the same no root permission error, then we have to do this install process again. This worked.

But sadly per app themeing isn't working for me. Poco Arrow Os Q.

Could it be possible to have a quicksettings tile to enable/disable the dark mode, on oxygenOS this functionality has been removed.
[Android Apps and Games] rick kode:
On oxygenOS when enabling the dark mode everything gets themed, except the volume panel.
[Android Apps and Games] tychoregter:
That's because OxygenOS uses it's own dark theme in combination with the AOSP one which messes up a lot of stuff
[Android Apps and Games] rick kode:
I know, that's why I use this app as it's one of the few apps that actually also switches most of the custom oxygenOS dark theme in combination with the aosp one.

Is it possible to use this app to selectively disable dark mode in certain apps? I have dark mode enabled, because I want it for the quick settings menu, volume pop up (basically the way it was in Android 9). But I find it annoying to have dark mode imposed on me in every other app (messages, the play store, etc.). So I'd like to have dark mode on, but then disable it in certain apps.

A while back, there was mention that DarQ dev was going to see about possibly making the app auto apply force Dark Mode enabled at boot (thereby avoiding having to go into the app / DevOps to force dark mode on).

I've since retired my Taimen for a Coral, which is *not* rooted - not yet, anyway - so I cannot use DarQ at the moment.

Has this feature been enabled in the app yet? I checked the online FAQ and did not see any mention of it....

[Android Apps and Games] gideonlfc:
I love this app as enabling dark mode on my phone also applies a weird dark mode on Facebook and telegram so I use this app to apply dark mode only in selected apps.

My problem is that, the app will work for a couple of minutes to some hours then it'll ask for accessibility even though it is enabled and was working.

It will never work again until I reboot my phone which is not really ideal for me.

I'm pleading with the dev to update it since it's a one of a kind app.

Thank you

Hi, great job here. Any plan to update it in the future?

I just installed it and i t work perfectly with everything but Google search, guess something broke. I'm on a Oneplus 6 Oxygen 10. Other google apps works fine. Force dark mode in developer option solves the problem but breaks several apps like Facebook and Telegram.

App loses settings stairs upon reboot.

First started using this after the post on the front page. I got the force dark setting enabled (previously was done manually via debugging settings). Darq made forcing this song active a lot easier than going to settings, but this setting is 'undone' after each device reboot.

Is this an Android issue? App issue. I've also got plenty of apps that despite the force option being enabled, refuse to use a dark display. Is that an app problem or a darq one? I'd be happy to post a few apk's or link to the play store entries.

That depends on your definition of soon. People have a personal life too. They don't live and breathe Android app code.
[Android Apps and Games] qorrymarzuki:
It works for certain apps, especially apps that have simple ui and small size. For big apps it only modify certain things in the app, for example settings, slider tab, search tab, etc. But for those apps it doesn't theme the main ui, which is not very nice. It would be great if it can be fixed
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Please read the frequently asked questions, that cannot be "fixed".
[Android Apps and Games] KaKi87:
Delay isn't the problem.

It really isn't.

If he would had said : "it will be fixed in March 2020", we would be waiting and not asking.

But, he said "soon".

That is the actual problem.

I hope you understand.
[Android Apps and Games] Ch3vr0n:
That still depends on your definition of soon. YOUR definition of soon is probably not the same as the OP's. Nor are your personal lives probably and the busyness of it. And even if they somehow magically were exactly the same level of busyness, unexpected things happen

Can't wait? Feel free to make your own app, or wait for the update, or stop using it entirely

Take your pick.
[Android Apps and Games] KaKi87:
These kind of conversations are useless because the maintainer/defendant is always bringing the exact same arguments, based on the well-known recipe : Soon™ + DIY.

Meanwhile, the end user is supposed to accept not being able to use the product, just because open source is used as an excuse for everything.

I'm still hoping that some day, I'll meet some developers who, just like me, despite working on open source projects, feels the responsibility of bringing a functional product to the end user.

Thanks for reading me, and, I promise to not bring that topic ever again on this thread.

[Android Apps and Games] m4heshd:
Is this project abandoned? this is a much needed feature for non-root devices. All i need is to apply forced dark mode for a selected set of apps. Currently it's being applied system wide which breaks a lot of already dark UIs and system UIs.
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
That exists, it's called paying for the product. I do this in my free time, I have a full time development job, and that is how I get by. This, and any other side projects, take time and I don't always have it. It may be an open source project and you might expect some magical product that is always updated where everyone has all the time in the world, but that is almost never the case.

It's very nearly done. App code is finished, bash script to run from a Linux/Mac machine is done, just needs the Windows batch script and it'll be ready.
[Android Apps and Games] m4heshd:
Thank you so much for the quick response. So will it be possible for non-root devices? :o (Guessing by the mentioning of PC side scripts it means it's possible via ADB right?)
[Android Apps and Games] Ch3vr0n:
Take all the time you need, as I said. People have a life, though in your case it seems like you DO live on code [emoji1787].

That saysy, if there was 1 thing I would love to see it's this (I don't know if you saw my earlier post about this)

I have a magisk rooted pixel 3 xl, dark mode is enabled by default as system wide. I use this app to force dark mode on otherwise light mode apps (such as Kickstarter app) though the 2nd toggle 'force dark theme'. The minor problem I've noticed it's that when the device reboots (manually, or because it needs to after an ota, or because it's to after play store security update...) the DarQ app seems to forget that switch 'force dark theme' was enabled, and it's back to disabled state (and in this case Kickstarter app back to light mode).

Is this intended, an open bug, one you've fixed for the next version?
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Yes. I've just finished the Windows script, it'll be tested by some people on non-rooted devices and go out for release soon.

You shouldn't need that toggle. All that does is enable the force dark setting that you can get in the developer options, it's meant for testing which apps force dark works on. Turn it off and use the whitelist settings.
