[Android Apps and Games] Mr.Conkel:
Will there hopefully be another update coming soon?

The module doesn't deactivate the use of force dark correctly since A13 and because of that apps that need aggressive force dark like Snapchat, MyVerizon among others aren't able to be used in dark mode.

Will this be fixed?
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
As far as I can tell there's nothing to be fixed - the setting is being toggled correctly. I can't do anything.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr.Conkel:
Is the problem with Xposed framework then? Maybe its directing something differently..
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Possibly, there was initially an issue with A13 with Xposed, that may have never been fully worked around in a way that DarQ would work.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr.Conkel:
Well hopefully you can fix it to make it work. DarQ with root works fine but the module is the only thing bugged at the moment..
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
The issue appears to be with the way Xposed works, it's not for me to fix.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr.Conkel:
Then what can someone like me do? Is it something as simple as waiting for Lsposed to receive updates? Or should I ask about this module in the Lsposed forum?

Waiting isn't out of the ordinary but other modules already work so what can be done?

(I really appreciate the responses btw, your a huge help and I definitely understand better now that its explained).
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
There was an issue raised when A13 first came out where Lsposed was not handling some hooks correctly. I raised the issue, it was fixed. The way it was worked around appears to mean that on some apps it is no longer possible to prevent disabling force dark. As far as I know, that workaround is the only one and there's nothing further that can be done - I believe it was due to some ART optimisations, so way beyond my understanding of the platform.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr.Conkel:
But its not exactly some apps. It would be different if only Snapchat or a specific set was broken. Anything that the Xposed module did is completely disabled it seems like. Although the base application works just fine.

Sad to hear though that this probably won't be fixed for the foreseeable future 🥲 if only Snapchat didn't favorite iOS cause they've had dark mode for a year plus and we have nothing.😡
[Android Apps and Games] znbaboy:
T

This. These asswipes still haven't added dark mode to Android, and I remember they banned me multiple times for using force dark mode until I emailed them a million times saying they need to let us do it if they aren't gonna implement it themselves.

Regardless, this sucks. I just got a Pixel 7 Pro (why is the front facing camera WORSE than my OnePlus 7 Pro btw?!?!) and it's on A13. Looks like I can't force dark snap anymore :(
[Android Apps and Games] znbaboy:
I think this may be a bug in Android 13 overall. If u try activating "override force-dark" in developer options, it will toggle itself off after leaving settings.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr.Conkel:
Seems like an issue since A11 I think, DarQ is what made it work correctly. But imo I don't think that the issue should have been taken down when Lsposed didn't exactly fix anything. The module in A13 does nothing, sure the app works fine but I do suppose its at no one's fault but the developers who don't support in-app dark mode forever an incomplete implementation
[Android Apps and Games] znbaboy:
This is actually Soo annoying. No one seems to be talking about it either. Force dark is literally broken ffs
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Works for me. Android 13
[Android Apps and Games] znbaboy:
Can you provide more information? "it works for me" doesn't really help anyone.

What phone? Does it work on Snapchat, Indeed, Credit Karma, and other apps that switch back to light mode when they detect force dark?

Are you using a dark mode implemented from your phone vendor (such as OnePlus and MIUI who I believe have their own per-app dark mode implementation)?

I believe LineageOS 20 has fixed the dark mode implementation iirc.

Screenshot would be nice as well.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
DarQ works on every app I need it to on pixel 6 pro with stock January android 13. I don't use social sites like snapchat, Facebook, Whatsapp, etc. Every app I have enabled to use force dark works great except for Amazon which is limited understandably because the awful app still uses gingerbread as it's base theme. It is dark themed but there are some issues. Your original statement says it doesn't work at all across the board, when it clearly works as intended. If an app does not have a dark theme, blocks access to theme, uses it's own themes, or is web based DarQ cannot do anything about it. All the app does is enable the dark theme that is built in to almost every app since Holo/ICS days instead of those apps loading as their default light themes. Apps that can have dark theme enabled use system framework to theme the app, meaning they use Theme.Holo.Light, Theme.Material.Light,, or Theme.App.Compat.Light which can all be changed to run on their dark counterparts.
[Android Apps and Games] znbaboy:
This is where the DarQ Xposed module comes into play. It will force dark regardless of what the app allows/disallows. It worked fine on A12 (and still does on my other phone) for Snapchat and others that are stubborn like this. Perhaps the module/Xposed needs to be updated? No clue at this point
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
No that is completely wrong. It cannot force dark apps that can't be forced dark. If the app does not use system framework themes to theme the app, meaning app uses it's own created theme, it cannot force that app dark. Apps that utilize the themes from system framework can be forced dark. Not talking about OS or android version, I am speaking of the themes in all android devices framework res APK. If apps create their own themes, use WebView, or obfuscate theme resources cannot be forced dark .
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Here are some examples. Dunkin Donuts uses all light theme but themes dark great using DarQ. Jeep app can't be forced dark at all. Amazon app gets forced dark but some elements do not theme correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
They're right actually, the Xposed module is supposed to make it so force dark cannot be disabled. Except it's stopped working in Android 13, the hooks no longer work despite the system code not changing.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
You're talking about in system settings developer options system dark override? Because I'm on A13 and DarQ works fine. The system override doesn't work, but it never worked for me on my 1+7t on Android 11, pixel 6 pro on Android 11,12, or 13.
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
No, I'm talking about the built in Xposed module.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
So I don't get it. I'm on Android 13 and DarQ works fine, even on apps that try to force light mode like Dunkin donuts, home Depot, TD Bank, T-Mobile. Never had any issue with these apps that are light themes normally but are dark themed using DarQ.
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
DarQ works fine on apps that work with force dark, those which opt-out do not work on 13. That is what they are talking about.
[Android Apps and Games] znbaboy:
Any chance for this to work again in the future? It looks like the LSPosed team may be working on a new version that may allow for this to work? Here's what they posted on their Telegram:

New Xposed API proposal:

As Android version iterates, the original Xposed API by rovo89 reaches its limits. Now we are working on the new modern Xposed API with features of application scope management, remote preferences, dex parser interface and so on. The new API will be implemented in the next releasing of LSPosed, and it is welcome to post your suggestions on https://github.com/libxposed.

Official webpage: lsposed.org Discussion Group: @LSPosedDiscussion CI Builds: @LSPosedArchives Admin Log: @lsposed_log Comment without joining group will be muted. https://t.me/LSPosed
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Unsure, the new API is more about allowing better communication between modules and their settings app rather than the low-level stuff. The settings are working fine in the Xposed module, it's the hooking that seems to not work.
[Android Apps and Games] bbortel93:
So I'm on CrDroid 9.1 based on Android 13. Is there something different I have to do through LSPosed than I was before? I'm confused that some people claim to have DarQ working on 13 but I'm unable to darken any app. Just looking for a little clarification.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] znbaboy:
The jist of it is:

App developers have two options when it comes to force-dark. Either they choose to allow it, or not.

If it is allowed, the app will keep any force-dark changes made by Android

If it ISNT allowed, the app WILL revert any force-dark changes made by Android.

The Darq app (not the XPosed/LSPosed module) will work fine with apps that ALLOW force-dark.

The XPosed/LSPosed module is only for apps that DISALLOW use of force-dark. The module ignores what the app allows/disallows and enables force-dark anyways

The XPosed/LSPosed module no longer works on Android 13

Hopefully that clarified things a bit.
[Android Apps and Games] mookiexl:
Thanks! This worked to get Lifesum in dark mode using the Shizuku non-root method. S22Ultra A13
[Android Apps and Games] Mars2033:
Please share the method. thank you
[Android Apps and Games] mookiexl:
I use non root shizuku. Just follow the instructions within the shizuku app. Once shizuku is enabled open DarQ and select the apps to force dark mode. Force close the apps from either settings or by clicking the app icon(long pressing on soms devices) from the recents screen. Swiping away apps from the recent screen didn't work for me apps had to be manually forced close. Open the app and enjoy dark mode. Only app that I couldn't get to force dark is a modded Tiktok app that I use.
[Android Apps and Games] ERIKW!"§:
Hi, I'm on Android 13 (arrowos) on my Xiaomi mi9t but this app doesn't even change anything it does have root access but no app works with it

Is this a known issue?
[Android Apps and Games] perelli:
THX! It worked fine to get Messenger Lite, dynamicSpot, aodNotify, JBL Headphones in dark mode using the Shizuku non-root method. S23 A13
[Android Apps and Games] thatrunks:
Has been working for me with my Oneplus 7 Pro, with Magisk (root), LSPosed and Android 13.

Also with my new setup the same as above (Pixel Pro 7).

Both on LineageOS 20 Microg.
[Android Apps and Games] redzyy:
In some apps, i Can't see the notification bar, since it blend with dark mode.

"This appears to be a bug in Android, and as force dark is a developer option, may not be fixed. It may be possible to fix it with DarQ, and this is being investigated"

I saw it can be fix with xposed module, but for non rooted phone, is it still possible in future update? Or xpose module is the only solution?

My phone, oneplus 7pro, oos12

Thanks..
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Not possible without Xposed.
[Android Apps and Games] redzyy:
Sorry again, want to make sure. No way to do that without root right? Even with LSpatch ? Thanks..
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Well you could maybe patch every single app you want to use it with, but it's a lot for little gain.
[Android Apps and Games] redzyy:
Got it, thanks..

Actually i only have problem with 2 apps (fitbit and shopee e commerce)

I'm kinda new in this things, so i think i just wait until someone make a thread (if any) about this matter.
[Android Apps and Games] buzzywuzzy:
Doesn't work with Snapchat the way Swift Installer did on older versions of Android and doesn't seem to work on TikTok at all. Any fix or alternative for Android 12?
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Snapchat they aggressively patch because it's a "premium" feature. TikTok I don't think ever worked.

[Android Apps and Games] tych_tych:
Hi, I love DarQ and since OB1 it seems to work fine with my OnePlus 7 Pro, but unfortunately the Auto Dark Theme (and Force Dark Theme) break OnePlus apps since dark theme is only partially enabled, it still shows light theme in the settings but the main problem is that some stock apps, like the Launcher, won't have the right statusbar icons, which make them unreadable and some apps like the Gallery don't apply the dark them at all. I think this has to do with OnePlus' proprietary dark theme. I'm not really sure how your app works but I assume you enable a setting by editing it's database, if so, since I read you don't have a OnePlus device yourself, I could try and figure out what OnePlus' dark theme database entry is and maybe you could implement that into your app. Let me know! And you delivered some awesome work anyway!

[Android Apps and Games] jacobo02160:
Any updates on enabling without Root now that Android 10 is official stable? Again, thanks for the hard work and for even creating the app.:fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] gettinwicked:
So, I've found a problem with DarQ and the official Android 10. When I upgraded from beta 6, I flashed with the -w. Setup from backup then restored apps from Swift. After setting most of the apps up, I went into settings, apps, all apps, and literally every app I clicked on, the force close popup came up and automatically hit OK. Just as if I had clicked on both myself. Every app. Some other settings do auto popups and selections as well. It's so few and far between, I can't recall all of them right now.

Anyway, so I factory reset again, this time a fresh setup because I figured it was an Android issue. I restored apps from Swift again, set them up, and there it was again. It didn't do this before restoring my apps. So, once more, I did a factory reset, then checked after setting up each app. When I got to DarQ, that's when it started. Uninstalled it, no problem. Tried once more, there it was. Any thoughts on this? I'm not sure I can live without this app. But, I can't live with the force close thing either.

Thanks for any help!
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
Sounds more like an issue with Swift Backup to me.
[Android Apps and Games] gettinwicked:
How, exactly? Did you read my entire post? Because the problem doesn't happen when I uninstall DarQ. Once I install it again, there's the problem again. I'm not sure how that makes Swift the culprit?
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
Oh, I see. At first it sounded like the only constant was restoring the Swift backups.
[Android Apps and Games] gettinwicked:
No worries!
[Android Apps and Games] johnlgalt:
Based on this, it sounds like you're restoring DarQ via Swift. But what happens if you just DL and install without restoring a backup?

Reason I ask is that I cleanly installed (April) Pie, took the 10 OTA, and manually installed DarQ - and I do not have this issue.

Of course, it could also be a setting, or more than one, acting in concert to cause this issue....
[Android Apps and Games] gettinwicked:
I initially restored the app via backup. The settings issue did not happen until I opened it for the first time though. I cleared data for the app, same, cleared data and uninstalled, the problem went away. Downloaded the app fresh from XDA labs, installed, problem came back. I tried this a couple times. It ONLY does this when DarQ is installed. I'm not sure what other setting could be causing this in unison with the app? I just install it, grant root, and that's it. And this is with 3 factory resets. The first two, and the third initially were from backup though. The second and third factory resets I setup the phone fresh, and did not restore anything system (even apps) from backup. All fresh. Only the apps I installed myself (not including Magisk) are from backup.
[Android Apps and Games] johnlgalt:
OK, that clarifies it a bit - but there is more testing to be done (I realize that this may be beyond what you want to / need to / can do, but it would help figure things out):

FDR again, then *only* install DarQ *without restoring anything, even accounts, and such.

Does it still happen?
[Android Apps and Games] gettinwicked:
To be honest, I'm not factory resetting again. I'm on 3 already. I realize that doing what you asked singles this out to only this app due to nothing else messing with settings, but, I don't really know what would be the precursor to DarQ doing this? And the app worked fine, no problem before I upgrade to stable 10. I figured it was something with the 10 update that changed or whatever. Anyway, let me know if you have any more suggestions. I'm going to do without the app for now.
[Android Apps and Games] gettinwicked:
Another thing I thought of here, you were on pie then took the OTA. I've been on two betas now, and both, especially pie, if people dirty flashed or took the OTA, most apps would work. However, many who ended up factory resetting on the beta, a lot of those same apps wouldn't work anymore. Last year, I still had my Gear S3. I needed to FR on the beta, but when I did, the Samsung Gear app wouldn't work so I couldn't connect my watch. Clean flashed to pie, set it up, took the beta OTA, worked fine. So, what I'm saying is, there actually could be a problem with the official 10, but for those who just took the OTA and haven't FR on 10 might not see it. If someone who's is working without my problem after taking the OTA or whatever would FR, once it's setup we might now if it's more widespread or just me.

My $0.02
[Android Apps and Games] johnlgalt:
No, no. I was on *all* of the ẞetas, and took the original OTA over ẞeta 6. But I also have a habit of cleanly installing after a new major version comes out, so after I installed the Q10 OTA over ẞeta 6, and managed to mangle Magisk somehow, I went ahead and clean installed - and when I did, I cleanly installed (April build of) Pie (in order to have TWRP successfully decrypt my data without having to always remove my login PIN / Pattern / PW) to both slots, rooted by booting TWRP and flashing the Magisk Canary .ZIP (which fixed all of the issues I ran into with Magisk and the ẞeta 6 --> Q10 OTA upgrade), then took the Q10 OTA over Pie.

But while I was on the original Q10 OTA upgrade of ẞeta 6, I did not have these issues you had - and I've been using Quinn' s DarQ for a while, since around ẞeta 2 or 3, IIRC. No issues like you had at all.

As for the number of ẞetas I've been on - well, every one since Google started doing ẞetas in the first place, and before that Moto ẞetas on Sholes & Targa. Please don't take this as me being a jerk, I'm just stating the facts - I've been doing this a long time, and I almost always take the OTA the first go around *before* I go back and cleanly install. This time the only reason I installed Pie first was for the decryption of data in TWRP - nothing more. And DarQ was not installed in Pie because, well, it's Pie - and this is Dar*Q* for a reason :p

Well I am trying to get true black theme in Google Phone app and Google Contacts app instead of dark but it doesn't work
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Properly implemented dark modes usually override Force Dark. Trying to get AMOLED black is not what this app is designed for.
[Android Apps and Games] znbaboy:
Anyone know if they fixed force dark mode in Android 14? I'm desperate at this point LOL
[Android Apps and Games] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
No fix as of yet. You have to manually start Darq after each reboot for your selected apps to gain their dark mode. You may also want to make sure Darq is excluded from battery optimization so it isn't shut down by Android.
[Android Apps and Games] zulu88:
It doesn't fully work even on Android 10 🤣
[Android Apps and Games] znbaboy:
I was referring to this:
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
This will probably never be fixed, unless it turns out to be an Xposed issue to fix. It's probably no longer possible due to some sort of optimisation.

Force dark requiring the Xposed module is very rare nowadays anyway, and when it is it often looks broken.
[Android Apps and Games] Wam7:
I have been using DarQ on my Huawei Mate 20X (running latest EMUI 12 which I believe is based on Android 10)

Using the Force option DarQ worked on most apps I selected it (couple banking apps wouldn't take). Even worked on my JD Gym app which is for my local gym. The problem is that the gym app also produces a QR Code to use with a scanner when entering the gym and obviously when darkened it no longer works.

I've removed JD Gym app from the Force Dark apps list but even though it is not ticked it is still turned to dark mode. I've deleted all stored data for DarQ and uninstalled both DarQ and the JD Gym app but it is still being turned dark once I reinstall it the JD Gym app.

To get the JD Gym app back to normal I have to restart the phone thereby disabling DarQ which is not I want to do.

Anyway to get DarQ to stop affecting this app?
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Are you using the Xposed module?
[Android Apps and Games] Wam7:
No, I first run Shizuku and then run DarQ. 2.2.1.
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Not sure what to suggest then unfortunately. Xposed does some messing with preferences that could cause this, but without that there's nothing I can think of
[Android Apps and Games] znbaboy:
Any service/receiver/activity we can disable on apps to prevent them from not allowing force dark using this app manager?
