[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Correct, the Google app itself uses force dark, it was a total pain to work with when working on DiscoverKiller. Using the Xposed module on it might help, but it's not ideal.
[Android Apps and Games] Ikkegwn:
So, what you're saying is, you can get google back to white? Gotta test that. What a weird thing to have to do
[Android Apps and Games] Ikkegwn:
Tested and it doesn't do ****. Stays dark. Why is google itself forcing itself dark even though i don't have it selected?
[Android Apps and Games] R3vol33:
I realised that some apps are working fine with force dark before an update but it breaks after a recent update. Can it be due to an update to the api that causes the force dark to break? Any insights?
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Those apps are probably disabling force dark (likely to implement their own), use the Xposed module if you really need dark theme on them, otherwise they're not possible to change.
[Android Apps and Games] fobtob387:
With the Xposed module, using LSPosed, what applications do I need to enable the module on? Just DarQ or also the app I want to force?
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Just the apps you want to force, DarQ should be included automatically.
[Android Apps and Games] 93starletgt:
Updated my Poco F3 to MIUI 13 on (Xiaomi EU, Android 12). I am rooted, but Darq isn't doing anything (although the app itself acts normally, like if it's working). Any ideas on how to enable it?
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Which apps are you trying to use it on?
[Android Apps and Games] 93starletgt:
Any other app that doesn't come with factory dark mode setting (like Google or Facebook apps). It just doesn't theme any app at all. The app behaves like if there's no errors, gets proper root access. But since Android 12/MIUI 13 it automatically stopped theming apps. The problem is not "specific app" related.
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Can only assume MIUI has changed something in 13 then, sorry. DarQ relies on a system "feature" (it's a developer option really) so if that's not there then there's nothing I can do.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Most apps have native dark mode on Android 12. They follow system theme or have an option to switch to dark mode in app settings. Including Google and Facebook. In fact I only have like 5 apps that don't get dark mode that DarQ themes decently, Amazon shopping, dunkin donuts, TD Bank, home depot, background eraser.
[Android Apps and Games] 93starletgt:
Yes, I figured. I wanted to thank you for developing this app. I used it since its first version. My eyes are sensitive to the light, and this app was a life saver. Thank you very much.
[Android Apps and Games] hacker812c:
App tiktok run perfectly in dark mode
[Android Apps and Games] 93starletgt:
Yes, but you don't need this app for that. It has it natively.
[Android Apps and Games] 93starletgt:
Just installed MIUI 13, v13.0.3... I was hoping Darq would work after installing the MIUI update, still doesn't work. I have MIUI 13 in several devices, Darq doesn't work in any of them, sadly.
[Android Apps and Games] Hurricane Andrew:
Lately ESPN is not working with DarQ on my S21+. Used to work perfectly, but not any longer. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Android Apps and Games] Diman778:
Aliexpress not darkened ... please fix

Samsung S10 SM-G973F Android 12
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Please read the FAQs.
[Android Apps and Games] Diman778:
would it help obscure if i read the faq?
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
No, it would tell you that there is nothing for me to fix. You have misunderstood what DarQ is and what it is able to do.
[Android Apps and Games] Diman778:
as I understand it, it activates a forced dark mode for unsupported applications in the "developer mode" the application can't do anything else, I understand it ... and you also have to go through a lot of crutches to activate this invitation of yours
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Yes, which means that if an app disables force dark there is nothing I can do. Use the Xposed module if you have LSposed installed.
[Android Apps and Games] Diman778:
there is an app from xiaomi called MIUI 12 System App: Dark Mode 3.0

can it be implemented in samsung?
[Android Apps and Games] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Rather disrespectful to the developer to ask that here, don't you think? You should have started your own thread in the forum for your device.

To actually answer the question, probably not. I don't know if MIUI's design is similar but I do know Samsung has a custom framework app it uses in addition to the standard Android one. Samsung-specific apps cannot be ported to non-Samsung devices.

For the record, Credit Karma recently disabled force dark in its app, and Wolfram Alpha never enabled it. I deal with the changes because I refuse to use Xposed or its derivatives. They make the system function as badly as Samsung does.
[Android Apps and Games] Diman778:
thanks for the answer .... yes, samsung is not in a hurry to make a dark theme, but one plus and xiaomi did it)
[Android Apps and Games] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Then get a OnePlus or Xiaomi, since clearly this app will not meet your needs. Point being the developer told you what could or could not be done here. Whether you like it or not, and to me it's clear you don't, doesn't change that fact.
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
It's a System App, as you said. That requires implementation in the system. Which cannot be done by a user app.

So the answer is no, as I already said. DarQ does not do the implementation, it only invokes the system feature, as I have already said.
[Android Apps and Games] Diman778:
Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
New release, version 2.2

Download on GitHub as usual
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
So new version f/cing on every reboot. Pixel 6 pro stock rooted android 12. Log attached.
[Android Apps and Games] fobtob387:
Cheers! Will it get added to FDroid?
[Android Apps and Games] der_Kief:
same here ...
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
I don't do the F-Droid builds.

This will be fixed soon, in the meantime just start the app after rebooting.
[Android Apps and Games] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Interesting that it works perfectly on a Pixel 6 (not pro). What is causing the issues on the pro?
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
It works perfectly on my 6 Pro.
[Android Apps and Games] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The two posters complaining about force closes seem to disagree. Perhaps an app of theirs isn't liking DarQ?
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
The force close is it failing to start on boot, I already said that simply starting the app manually is a sufficient workaround until I push a fix.
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Pushed a release (v2.2.1) that fixes the crash on boot.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
I new how to restart, I was only giving a heads up and posted my log so you could see it wasn't starting at boot. I would just open DarQ after the toast and all the apps would be themed. Appreciate the quick fix. 👍🐻
[Android Apps and Games] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I applogize. I misunderstood what the issue actually was.
[Android Apps and Games] Ti64CLi++:
Does anyone know if it works with Snapchat?
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
With the Xposed module, yes.
[Android Apps and Games] Ti64CLi++:
Thanks for the fast reply.

I just tried it and it doesn't work with the last version of Snapchat. I have the last version of LSPosed Zygisk installed, and the module is enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
I'll have a look, see what they broke it with this time
[Android Apps and Games] Ti64CLi++:
Thanks a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] lupastro82:
Hi. Hi seen more (about 4) Xposed module on foxmmm. Someone can help for "best Xposed to install"? Ty ☺️
[Android Apps and Games] Diman778:
what modules?
[Android Apps and Games] Diman778:
what modules? is there a name or link?
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
DarQ contains a module, there is no other module to download.

Could you also not spam the thread please, thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Diman778:
You wrote yourself what you need to activate the dark theme using the Xposed module, but what is the name of the module? Or is it in DarQ ?

Вы написали сами что нужно спомощью модуля Xposed активировать тёмную тему , а вот как модуль называется? Или он находится в DarQ ?
[Android Apps and Games] lupastro82:
This (anyway, seems ok now with Zygisk lsposed).

With this i can also with status bar invert color.
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
DarQ is the module, it is built in. You do not need to install another app.
[Android Apps and Games] Diman778:
will it dim unsupported apps which the phone can't do?
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
If the app is intentionally disabling force-dark, it will prevent that. It can't make an app that is using other methods work though.
[Android Apps and Games] Diman778:
Вы можете проверить это ? У меня есть пару приложений на Samsung они не затемняются...

Can you check it out? I have a couple of apps on samsung they don't dim...

[Android Apps and Games] lupastro82:
Sorry bro, thanks to extra xposed magisk module (i understand this by faq), dark mode work now also for app (light with only darkq) and i can fix also status bar inverted color.
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
I don't make the module work for specific apps, if it doesn't work already then it is out of scope.
[Android Apps and Games] Diman778:
I understand you, but I'm wondering if the module will dim these applications?
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
If they are disabling force dark, the Xposed module will prevent that and make force dark work.
[Android Apps and Games] Diman778:
I'm not making a specific application work or not, I just want to clarify whether your module will dim these two applications
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
I told you. It will prevent them disabling force dark, I do not make the module work with specific applications. If those apps disable the use of force dark, the module will make them dark, if they do not they won't. I cannot say any more, I suggest you actually try it and see.
[Android Apps and Games] 93starletgt:
I'm using magisk 24. The option to download modules was removed. Where can I download Xposed? Also, have Darq 2.2.1 installed and the "Xposed module" option in the settings doesn't show up. Any help is appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
LSposed can be downloaded from their repo: https://github.com/LSPosed/LSPosed/releases

You want the Zygisk version.

The Xposed module option only appears when the LSposed module is installed, enabled and you have rebooted, and then have enabled DarQ's module in LSposed manager.
[Android Apps and Games] 93starletgt:
Thank you! I'm on MIUI 13, where the factory settings for dark mode for "individual apps" isn't working yet. Installing Darq alone with proper root settings didn't do the trick. The LSposed module fixed it!
[Android Apps and Games] stanleymwamburi35732273@g:
How can I get darq zip to run the app
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
There is no zip, just install the APK.
[Android Apps and Games] shinryuken3000:
Hi

I have a problem with my shopping app - Shopee. When I activate per-app Dark Mode, the app is only dark on the main page. When choosing a product (by scrolling down for a while to choose), it is not dark anymore (means light theme). However, if I choose Force All Dark everywhere (in Advanced Option), it can be dark (means working normally). Attachment is demo. Could you please help?
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
As stated in the FAQ, DarQ does not always apply quick enough. There is nothing that can be done about this.
[Android Apps and Games] DroidShift79:
How can I help to translate DarQ to german?
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Pull requests are welcome on the GitHub
[Android Apps and Games] DroidShift79:
As I'm just a graphics guy I do not know anything about github stuff, if you got some csv file or something like that I can help translating to german.
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
The strings XML is here: https://github.com/KieronQuinn/DarQ/blob/master/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml which is what is used when translating
[Android Apps and Games] shinryuken3000:
Is it possible to make a button (somewhere or quick panel) or widget to switch toogle Force Dark (also Advanced) function? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Not currently no. It probably won't be added either, as it's not really what DarQ is intended for.
[Android Apps and Games] karan68:
File not found..
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Please read the posts below that, it does not and can never work on Android Pie.
[Android Apps and Games] karan68:
Ok, have a question, apps can be themed in dark mode using overlays like substratum etc but lot of apps use android built in webview for rendering pages which are always in light mode and we can't theme them in dark mode, is it possible to force dark webview globally by using any trick or root method ? As we can force dark pages in chrome by setting force dark flag.which only limited within chrome
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Use chrome and not built in app web view when opening links.
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Force Dark in WebViews was also added in Android 10. You cannot use a feature that is not there on older versions.

Chrome is its own thing, it has its own rendering engine.
[Android Apps and Games] jincAsus:
Hi . Nice app. I only have a request that is a game changer for me. If you could add force dark mode for individual apps ON by default for newly installed apps rather than check one by one manually. Like for starter all apps are on dark mode and I get to deactivate apps that I want . Rather than the opposite. Thank you very much.
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
This has been requested many times, I suggest you search the thread. The answer is still no.
[Android Apps and Games] jincAsus:
I'm no expert but Can't just make the apps on the list ON (attached file) by default even if it takes time to apply?
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
It's not the fact that I can't, it's that I won't. DarQ is intentionally opt-in, to remove the possibility of an app accidentally having force dark applied and users blaming developers of those apps. I've always held this position, and will continue to do so, even more so now that MIUI actually does it and I've seen many people complain to the developer of Sync for Reddit that the dark mode is 'broken' when in fact it's Force Dark breaking it, which MIUI enables on all apps with a single (sticky) toggle.
[Android Apps and Games] jincAsus:
Yeah I understand. But once someone install darQ he knows what he has sign up for .because he went for all the struggle to make it work. MIUi on the other hand is easy out of the box people don't understand it. Anyway I still have the option to force dark mode for all. But that's where I get to deal with the glitches. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] mxl180:
Correct me if i'm wrong, but the settings would not re-apply after reboot for devices using ADB via USB? We'll have to reconnect ADB every time after reboot?

At least for me I have to redo ADB after rebooting
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
You have to start Shizuku with ADB every reboot. That's how Shizuku works.

On devices with wireless ADB you can start Shizuku without a computer though.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
You can use adb over wifi in device settings, system, developer options while using shizuku. Or just use shizuku with root or lsposed and magisk.
[Android Apps and Games] Diman778:
Can you show a screenshot of how applications work in dark mode using this module?
[Android Apps and Games] diavol90:
can I do something to fix all dark photos? vinted app.
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
No, read the FAQs.
[Android Apps and Games] sosimple:
Isn't any way darq to work without selecting in android settings dark mode to everywhere? If I select dark mode to everywhere from android settings in samsung phone, then i can't use samsung themes..

Thanks,
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
DarQ uses the same system feature as that 'dark mode everywhere' setting likely does, but applies it only when apps you choose are open. That way it would only interfere on those apps if it's breaking a Samsung feature.
[Android Apps and Games] sosimple:
So i can't use darq AND Samsung themes at the same time, if i understand correctly?
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
You can, but it might break the themes on the apps you want to use DarQ with, if I understand what you're saying. Sounds like it's either-or, but at least with DarQ you can make it only that for apps you desire.
[Android Apps and Games] sosimple:
I don't think i can.. If i have samsung dark mode toggle on, darq works at it should. I can make black, apps that by default aren't black. (but i can't use samsung themes, as by using samsung dark mode toggle on, disables samsung themes) . If i set samsung dark mode toggle off, darq doesn't work. It doesn't make black neither apps that are by default black (when setting samsung black mode toggle on).. I'm rooted. Isn't any solution, magisk plugin, something?

I actually doesn't want to make black apps that doesn't support it by default. I just want to make black apps that support it. Google now, for example. I just don't want to turn on samsung black mode toggle, for this.. Because if i set it on, i can't have samsung themes..

Thanks,
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Probably OneUI messing with something then, I can't do anything about that sadly.
[Android Apps and Games] StickyFingers28:
@Quinny899 Hello! I've been using DarQ on my rooted phone over a year now ( I'm the guy who just wanted snapchat to work in dark mode even before version 2.1 released that supported snap dark mode)

Anyways, I got a new phone now and rooting it will void it's warranty and whatnot, so I wanted to know if there is any way I can still get my snapchat to work in dark mode withour rooting? (Android 12 btw). I read that I can use some adb commands but I need to do it everytime my phone reboots? (if i read correctly)

TLDR: Is there a somewhat permanent way I can force dark mode on my snapchat without having to connect my phone to pc and running the adb commands everytime it reboots.

Thanks a lot! :)

EDIT: I installed the darQ 2.2.1 apk and shizuku apk on my new phone, started shizuku via adb and gave access to darq through it. But my snapchat still isn't working in dark mode. What's the catch here?
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Snapchat currently does not work with any dark mode method that I know of.
[Android Apps and Games] StickyFingers28:
is there really no way possible you may know or can suggest that can help me get snapchat in dark mode ?
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Not possible right now as far as I'm aware.
[Android Apps and Games] trevtdogg:
it's not great, but android's native "invert colors' setting might do something?
[Android Apps and Games] StickyFingers28:
@Quinny899 It's so strange because on my last phone, I was able to run snapchat in dark mode ( up until the beginning of this month ) using DarQ and Edxposed manager.

However when I achieved the same setup in my new phone, it didn't work.

@trevtdogg thanks for the suggestion but yes it does look pretty ugly 🤣
[Android Apps and Games] Crimsonflex:
Hi

Currently using darq and shizuku on my Xiaomi mi a3 using adb pc method.

It works but everytime I charge my phone shizuku stops service.

Anyway can keep it active after charging?
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
If Shizuku itself is stopped it's not DarQ's problem. Chances are it can't be fixed by Shizuku's devs too as MIUI is probably killing the ADB service.
[Android Apps and Games] ltw5ki:
Hello, I currently am using a OnePlus 10 pro (ne2215) Android 12 rooted with darq. I am visually impaired and the normal mode apps load in bothers my vision.

I have every possible dark mode option on and still some apps show in regular theme. My OnePlus 8 had native dark mode app selection and was able to load everything in dark mode.

Am I missing something, why isn't darq able to force the same outcome on my OnePlus 10?
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
DarQ doesn't work on every app, this is not a restriction of the app itself but the force dark option in the system. Nothing I can do.
[Android Apps and Games] ltw5ki:
That you, I appreciate your expediante response. I just can't fathom how apps could natively work in dark mode on one phone and not the next even with an extra layer of dark mode enforcing. Very confusing
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
You are rooted? Why not use a custom ROM or substratum? Android 12 doesn't have a system wide enforce dark? I know some apps, (yeah you Amazon) still don't handle dark themes well. But I'd say 99% of my apps are dark themed with a combo of DarQ and substratum.
[Android Apps and Games] ltw5ki:
I am rooted and don't want to run a custom ROM. Bad enough I only rooted due to darq being my golden ticket sort of. I'll give substratum a look and see if it'll help. Surprisingly most apps load in dark theme from only using dark mode and override force dark, it's just the pesky apps like Uber/eats, CreditKarma and a few others.

As I mentioned my op8 on Android 11 works flawlessly with dark mode and native app selected dark mode 🤷🏾‍♂️
[Android Apps and Games] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
1. English please? The site requires posting in English. With that said...

2. What exactly is your question? Darq should run on your device as long as it has been upgraded to at least Android 10 and is rooted.

French

1. Anglais s'il vous plaît ? Le site nécessite une publication en anglais. Cela étant dit...

2. Quelle est exactement votre question ? Darq devrait fonctionner sur votre appareil tant qu'il a été mis à niveau vers au moins Android 10 et qu'il est rooté.
[Android Apps and Games] msi.1362:
Hi, I installed DarQ on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Android 12, Shinzuku is also installed and the necessary accesses are given on Wi-Fi. I open DarQ and select the programs that I want the dark theme to be applied to. But there is no change. Both "dark mode" and the "force dark mode" from the developer mode section are enabled. what's the problem?
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Which apps?
[Android Apps and Games] msi.1362:
Zepp life
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
That app is not compatible with force dark, nothing I can do.
[Android Apps and Games] Yoss Roness:
I'm currently using EvolutionX Android 13 stable, and though many Lsposed modules and root apps work, I can't get DarQ to work...
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
How you mean? It works fine except some apps will not take a dark theme override. Did you grant root permissions and enabled it in lsposed?
[Android Apps and Games] Yoss Roness:
I enabled it lsposed for all relevant apps and checked that it has root acess but apps that it managed to darken on Android 12 (i.e. Microsoft Authenticator) won't darken anymore
[Android Apps and Games] just a bird xo:
I'm having a similar issue. I recently switched from EvolutionX A12 to EvolutionX A13 (Pixel 5) & I've noticed most apps will no longer force dark after the update. I've noticed Snapchat will no longer force dark but Amazon will force dark.
[Android Apps and Games] Frenchhh:
you got snap to force dark on A12? nothing worked and i saw many people saying it wasnt possible unless you used like a super old apk. got a pixel 4 so im on a13 now and im not even gonna have hopes for some kinda dark mode
[Android Apps and Games] just a bird xo:
I can confirm it works on both EvolutionX A12 & crDroid A12. I made sure the box within DarQ app was ticked for Snapchat, as well as the box within LSposed.

I'm not sure if it makes any difference but I'm also using Magisk Delta.
[Android Apps and Games] Hutchyy:
Hi, doesn't seem to be working for me on MIUI 13. Have tried on the following apps: google opinion reward, planday, accubattery, firstbus. Any help plz?
