[Q] changing the color of the phone, contacts, and messaging screens - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just recently got my Note 3 last week through At&t and I'm highly satisfied. I have a question that I have not found the answer to yet. The phone, contacts, and message screens are predominantly white with black font. I kind of have a hard time with this due to my bad eyes. I can see better with a black background with white font. Is there a way to change these screens to black? I have watched some YouTube videos and see people with black backgrounds And White font in these screens. Help please.

i have a n9005 branded voda phone.
its overall colour re dailer, messages ,contacts is standard a darkish blue /black with white letters.
so it seems it a carrier thing .?( your colour white with black font or did you by accident enable a wrong settings ?)
one thing, have you tried to go.....settings /device/accessibility then scroll down to negative colours (reverse the colour of screen )
if i tick it my dark screen will be reversed to white etc..etc untick and i have darkscreen with white lettering
there is also other very good settings on that page eg..font size ...short cut
see screenshot ..have you tried this ?
good luck .

Tweakman: Needs Original Diamond Wallpaper

Hey guys, Tweak here. I have searched every where possible. Searched for the past 3 hourse, and over a span of 3 days. I have the Alltel diamond. It comes stock with a white TF3D theme, but the background has been changed ( I think).
Instead of the orig diamond background, its solid white. I can not find the background from the orig look. The one that is White, with Grey or Black Squares making up a 3d floor (just like the black one)
I used to have it, but lost it over time. Now the only one I can find is built into themes, and I do not know how to extract these. I do not want to change the whole theme, just to change the background.
SO IF YOU CAN, PLEASE POST THE ORIGINAL WHITE DIMAOND BACKGROUND, WITH THE GREY SQUARES , THAT MAKE UP THE 3D LOOKING FLOOR.
The only one I can find thats not built into a theme is white and blue. So any help is appreciated.
Re : Changing Only the Wallpaper?
For changing wallpaper, click on Setting (the gear icon with a dot in the middle), then click on Wallpaper. From there on, it's self-explanatory. Good luck
I've also searched for this white background, does anybody have it ?
Thx !
here it is
here is the white one, I put the black bar at the bottom because if you don't have it the semi-transparent slider that tf3d comes with will be a weird gray on the home tab
Thank you !
As someone else also posted it on an other thread, I attach it here (without the black bar)
Anyone have the WVGA veriosn from the Touch HD....looking to put one for S2U2
Thanks
isn't the white version of the skin just the inverted version of the black version?
thanks for posting these, anyway

Menu backgrounds/keyboard color question

I'm considering pre-ordering the Galaxy S4 for Verizon but I've been noticing something odd. The international reviews show a firmware with A white keyboard, and consistent white menu/app backgrounds throughout. The US versions seem to have the black backgrounds for the settings menus and gallery apps, dark keyboard, but other apps such as messaging, contacts and dialer are white themed. Is there an option to change that? It just seems inconsistent to have some apps dark and some apps light. Perhaps a custom ROM will bring a more uniform theme.
On my S4 it's all black, didn't see any white yet, don't think any S4 has black/white mixed .

My S4 (AT&T) has the white contacts, dialer, and messaging...and everything else is dark. Wish I could change this somehow but there doesn't seem to be any options.

[Q] How to set black background

Hi, just simple question. How can I setup black background for all ROM apks that doesnt have their own background?
I tried Omega 5.0, Wanam 1.2, prerooted MF2 ROM and all of these have very dark grey colour backgroung in settings, contacts, messaging etc. Before MEA (e.g. on ME2 I used quite long) there was 100% black background (with well known smearing efect which doesnt bother me so much). So, sammy changed the background from black to dark grey for eliminating smearing efect and to shut our mouth up THX for advice I think many of us love our AMOLED display with true blacks and hate samsung for these cheap tricks!
Here are screenshot, if you cant see the difference, just use the pipette (colour picker) in your favourite photo editing program and observe what colour it truly is...

Yotaphone 2- white text on black background/invert colours EDP

Can anybody please tell me if theres a way to get my yotaphone 2 (black) to invert its colours or display white text on a black background on the EPD?
Basically I would like to have my phone function in the same way as the yotaphone white's do, i.e in a 'night mode' style display.
All help will be appreciated

Hello
Not sure of what you are looking for. You can always invert the black & white in Yota reader, but That's the only thing I know. If you want to invert the whole epd screen all the time, I have no clue.
Yep im trying to invert the EPD all the time like it is on the white version of the phone found in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYThtveI8iQ
Would it not be possible to flash the white versions firmware to my phone?

I have done that and it changes nothing about the display, my phone is rooted, do you think that might be affecting the white theme from working?
When you load the 'white theme' doe s it invert the colours/give you white text on black background?

Greetings all,
I have a S7, and when I have a open white area, lets just go with messages, When I open up the message (text, stock) and compose a new message, I get the white screen however in the background I can see the home screen icon's very faint, with colors. I did a screen shot and when on the phone you can see the icon's, however when I move the screen shot to the PC I dont see any of the icon's, I was hoping to post the pic, but the pic is perfect. I dont know how to explain this, but it weird. I have done two factory wipe's, this is stock, I have not modified this phone. The carrier, (If needed) is T-Mobile. Any and all information will be greatly appreciated.
Ciao~

If you take a screenshot and it does not display the same as what you are seeing it means it is NOT software related unfortunately this is screen burn
thats what I figured, but its very bad, I have never had any of Samsung Phones every do this. If the display is burned, why would the icon's have color? I see only the background icons, when the screen is white. If it was burned should I see it on all the screens?

The screen burn burns in the colors a possible way to test this is change your background icons from what they were previously and see if the colours have changed on the screen where you can see the burn in..
Alternatively Get a screen test app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ua.dp.ustav.screentest should let you put solid colors on the screen) and set it for all white (there shouldn't be any other color showing) then for all black (there shouldn't be anything but black or a uniform very dark gray). If either one shows any sort of picture "ghost", the screen has burn-in.
Apparently it helps slightly if you set the screen mode to cinema. (Settings>Display>Screen Mode>Cinema)
Hope this helps
