White apps or dark apps - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm sorry if this has been ask before..
I do work with the note 3 and was hoping that maybe I might be able to help with the T mobile Note 4.
Can someone please verify that the international variant of the note 4 has either a white contacts (dialer), phone (in call ui), mms or a dark version?
Thank you for any help.

It has a white theme.

A lot of work.. I was gonna try to invert them, but then I found that not only has samsung gone with their way of qmgs, but they also decided to screw everyone over with some type of file called astc that can't be decompiled

I found a workaround, but it's really up to you on how you use it, but...
You can set your home button to invert the colours with a triple tap. The setting is in accessibility. This is really handy when browsing the web, but not so much with "in and out" app use. I'm almost certain you can get tasker to invert apps using this method for specific apps you need inverted, and then return to normal when you exit those apps.

No 'focus' at all possible ?

There are a lot of focuscolours already for the diamond, but i would prefer to have no focus at all, or if that is not possible, just a clear transparent one.
Or since many of us still have black or white background, a black or white focus!!
thx devs.
No one?
Do you guys actually like the focus in colour whenever a button is pressed?
I dont, it doesnt look good and I always have to click ones more to get rid of it, but anyway....
I've been looking for this too, i always switch from 1 touchflo 'page' to another and back, to get rid of it. I stopped looking for this some time ago though... seems like something this simple is impossible i guess
transparent selection
try this and let me know.....i found this somewhere on the forum.

[Q] Alliance ROM help - White Text on Grey Backgrounds

HI all,
So I'm at a loss and hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Installed Alliance ROM onto my Verizon Note 3. So far I'm quite impressed with the ability to customize so many aspects of the interface. But my noob status working with android is causing me to get confused. I'm encountering a UI element that is used in popup menus that currently is displaying white text on a light grey background (as seen in the attached images) Could someone show me where to find the adjustment to change that UI element is?
Also I was a fan of the ability to swipe and launch the camera on the Stock ROM, but I was able to set my preferred app on stock. Don't see anything listed under Default Applications, also when I look at the stock camera's App Info, the Clear defaults button is greyed out. I'm unable to choose which app I want to launch since installing this ROM. I found a workaround by setting Shortcuts to Custom and selecting my app that way, but I liked the Stock ROM's grey button as opposed to using the apps actual icon.
Thanks for any help you can send my way,
Josh
Anyone have any ideas about the grey background. I'd appreciate any help, thanks

In AllianceRom Custom Settings under Colors, go to Background -> System and you can change the background of most system apps/menus, it is a universal change but you can enable/disable apps effected in the Whitelist menu.
Thanks for the idea! I'm trying but still can't seem to get that gray background to change. Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

You could try wiping cache/davlik in SS, or try flashing a theme like All Backs Black. Other than that the only other thing I can think of is wiping/flashing the rom and starting over but that seems like overkill.
From what I know, I asked the same question in the ROM thread and the answer was this is a bug they are gonna have fixed in Build 2.
Thank you so much guys for the ideas and info. I was going crazy trying different combos of settings to get it to change. I'll look into trying a theme. I was already flirting with the idea of having to try doing a full reinstallation. But if its a known bug I can deal with it, the benefits of using this ROM so outweigh the annoyance of the grey menus. Thanks again!

Wallpaper dark overlay

Hi guys.
I'm not sure if anyone noticed this, but whenever I set a wallpaper, it gets dimmed as if some kind of an overlay or a filter is applied to it. From what I read on Google, it is a common thing for Huawei.
However, nobody seems to have a solution. Does anyone here know something. It really drives me crazy since I can't set a white or light wallpaper.
Thanks a bunch.

No, BUT! I know it starts just after boot-up, so it has to be a small app or a process. Since I'm not rooted, can't do anything about it. Are you rooted?

No ... I am searching the web but I can't find anything ... I am having the issue with my P9 lite . I think it's some kind of EMUI battery saving thing !

Nah, it's just so icons are more visible, which is retarded, I can't put a light wallpaper, ridiculous.

A program called : SB WALLPAPER CHANGER fixes it but in alarm and dial app it messes up the background blur ... Try it and give me a reply . I haven't used it in 2 months , maybe they have fixed it !
It messes the background blur when you are in a call or when you are setting an alarm . See the image . In settings app go into portrait - fix image ( no scroll ) and in the bottom go and select your image . and then go back and set it as a wallpaper from the app .
Not sure if this is the answer but...
I close all apps runnig on background and the dim wallpaper went back to normal inmediatly. Maybe is a battery saving action when to many apps are running at the same time.
Hope it helps!
Never had this issue

Dark Background and Light Text without inverting colors in settings

I'm one of those lucky people who gets chronic migraines. The primary trigger for me is bright light... especially looking at bright, white screens with black text. Consequently, I've spent quite a bit of time trying to invert screen color... which is fine unless you are looking at pictures or video.
I know that I can change my Note 4 settings to invert the colors, but that simply isn't practical. I've been able to get some of the modifications I need by swapping out applications. For instance, I use Chomp SMS and have found a great plug-in for firefox that inverts the color without inverting the images. I've also been able to make some system mods through Xposed using Wanam's module. But these are only bandaids. I'm really looking for something that will work system-wide, for light text and dark background.
My phone is a Sprint Galaxy Note 4 running Lollipop 5.1.1. Does anyone have any suggestions? Would upgrading to Marshmallow help? Or how about changing out the ROM?
If nothing that would work systemwide, does anyone have a suggestion for an email app that will invert the text color? The stock Samsung email app is really tough for me.
Any help will be much appreciated.

[Q] Advanced Always On Display

Hey guys,
I was wondering if it was possible to modify the existing AOD for more options.
For example: I couldn't care less about the clock, I'm wearing and using a watch anyway.
It would be nice if one could lay his smartphone onto the table with it beeing completly black except when you have notifications.
Something like in the picture I've quickly put together.
http://www.directupload.net/file/d/4959/6ckdllab_png.htm
Are there any roms which support this? Is it even possible to modify the Samsung AOD in that way or would one have to write a new app?
For now im using a black screen with the LED but that's suboptimal.
Thank you very much,
Chilz0r

There are some themes available from Samsung Store but anything like you posted is currently not seen. Moreover, you should post questions in question/answer section. This section is not for question or discussion purpose.

Yeah I just took any picture on the internet and photoshopped it to show what I'm looking for.
This ambient display feature would be perfect if it would use the advantages of the S8 Display,
meaning lighting up particular pixels the whole time and not areas of the screen for a small time.

This answers my question, thank you.
But I'm curious now: would it be reasonable trying to programm such an app oneself,
or alternatively is it possible to get the Samsung AOD code to modify it?

This isn't bad if you try to build such app but AFAIK and untill now, it is nearly impossible to build such app. You probably won't get exact source code for AOD because most things are hard-coded. Even, if you manage to get code, modify it and build your desired app it will be hard or impossible to install it over pre-installed AOD app. Kind of complicated, but you can still try, maybe you end up being Samsung hero.
