Hi,
Other than the default LG launcher (which I dont use - I use Google Now Launcher), nothing - no LG apps - no 3rd paty apps run full screen... Is this normal or something weird about my device software?
I have set all my frequently used apps to "Scale" to 18:9, rebooted many times etc but they all run with a solid white or black home button arrangement. I was expecting the LG apps to run full screen but they dont either... I even tried going back to the LG Launcher, rebooting, trying apps but still the same result.
I would really like full screen apps with a transparent home button section... is this possible?
Thanks!
It's normal the navigation bar is always solid background unless the app developer codes an app so it becomes transparant, which is very unusual in my experience.
I think its a problem with Google Now Launcher, I was experiencing the same issue. I switched to Nova Launcher and the navigation bar is transparent like its supposed to be. Nova Launcher just added Google Now support to the homescreen using a companion app that lets you swipe to the google now feed, so now its basically a better version of Google Now Launcher.
Here's a link to the article to setup Google Now with Nova Launcher
Hi - I've been looking to replace my launcher from touchwiz as I need landscape orientation for the home page.
Do any of the alternative launchers support split screen? Doesn't look like Nova, Action Launcher or Google Launcher do, and I cant find Samsung's Good Lock for some reason as I thought that might.
Any ideas? Thanks
Samsung doesn't want launchers to work in split screen. That is a design decision which makes sense when you think about it. The same reason that the launcher does not show in "Recent apps".
Fear not, there might be a solution.
A simple trick would be to get the apk that you want to try in split screen and then edit its AndroidManifest.xml file so that the app doesn't know that it's a launcher. (Not sure if you can do that directly but most probably you'll have to Decompile the app -> edit manifest -> Recompile the app.
If you have spare free time you can google how to do all this. And see if its possible. (Most probably it is.)
I found a great solution! I force landscape mode using an app and Nova in split screen - ie I have music on touchwiz one side, and nova on the other. That way I can run any apps split screen. Inside nova I can run maps which wont run on it's own in split screen.
Touchwiz allows this with launcher apps which are not set as the default home.
In fact it works fantastic. I use it along with a floating app launcher so I can press home and it wont take the whole homescreen home, just the nova launcher.

hello whats actually my problem i try run the same app 2 times with island app but it doesnt let me put in split screen so i have the one app full screen and the main one not cloned floating mode but i am looking for a way to run both in split can work with your way ?
I recently downloaded the GalaxyS8_Dark_clock_noframe.apk and it is WOW! Although I only got to try out the trial version on a Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 with android v6.0 (marshmellow) I noticed that in the gallery app the title for each album is white against a background of white and not black against a background of white or white text against a black background? See attached image.
Is there a freeware theme that is similar with the dark menus,notification window,etc as I don't have that much data so I can't google that much....
Thanks
Anyone able to get substratium to work on sd note 9?
I am just trying to theme the stock messaging app so that the text box will be black. Is there a stand alone overlay apk that can do the same?
Textra is not an option since I loose some functionality of my gear s2.
Edit: I forgot to run the andromedia pc plugin to get it going. Everything is working now.
I have Subs working on my Vzw n9.
I have changed my Nav bars, fonts and a few apps so far.

interesting. I keep getting verification errors on substratium.
Systemui tuner + good lock 2018 has taken care of everything except the messages app.
Does your phone have to be unlocked to use it? I got mine from sprint I want to change the navi bar color so bad

Systemui tuner in playstore has that built in. No root required but you do need to run a couple of adb commands.
Is not working for me either. Note 9 on VZW. how did you get it to work?

Did you run Andromeda from a pc?

I did and didn't work the first time. However I figured it out. I used smart switch to restore from my note 8 and Andromeda was working funny. Uninstall and reinstall fixed the problem.
Thank you
Only some things are working for me. The settings and phone apps aren't. It colours them if i select android 8.1 pixel or nexus but not the samsung option. Using swift black btw
And go To développer settings To enable USB debug mode.
Pitchblack Samsung is running on my note 9 using subsrtatum alone. A bit of a pain because Android permissions ask permission to install per overlay, but working 100% here without Andromeda. I have the US Xfinity Mobile Note 9.

So settings overlays using Samsung swift doesn't work. Doesn't it crash if you use another phone type?

Settings overlay just wouldn't work no matter what settings or device type I tried. I did however get the UI and some apps themed.
I didn't really see a big difference compared to the samsung theme i'm using right now + ADB navbar colour change so i stuck with that. Haven't decided on an icon pack yet.
Attached some screenshots.

Looks alright actually. So, you're using a standard Samsung theme with adb navbar mod or are you using parts of swift substratum and adb navbar mod?
I'm currently using swift dark, the bits that work on the note 9, with wings substratum to shade out slightly my black navbar icons and slightly reduce the ( grey color ) of my status bar icons. Oh, and also system ui tuner was used for my black navbar. So all in all , system ui tuner, swift and wings substratum used here.

I dropped substratum all together. I'm now using:
- Good Lock 2018 for notification drop down and notification shade
- MINU Black_Edition V2 Samsung theme for the overall black skin
- ADB Navbar Colour Change
- System UI tuner for immersive mode toggle
Still deciding on icons though..

Does the navbar stay dark in all apps?

Unfortunately not. I mostly use it to ensure it's black with my Gboard when typing since I use immersive mode. Apps like Chrome that apply a colour overlay will override ADB.
I assume substratum is the only way from small testing.. Even overlay apps like "Navbar Apps" don't keep everything black unfortuntely.

Mine stays black 90 % of the time. Although I have this issue recently using Google recently.

Has this feature been made avaliable to the 6t? Hoping a rom with it comes out soon. That's all I need the rom for essentially ?

I also was trying to find out if this is possible. I tried to enable sticky immersive with adb and it made the top bar black like you were disabling it in the settings menu. I like being able to swipe down to see everything but feel apps could be better using the notch area. I didn't like turning them all off in ui tuner either.

Use the app called immersive mode manager to set modes for apps and make sure you goto your Android settings and enable full screen mode for all apps. This will enable a swipe down status bar when immersive mode is enabled

I tried the app and got it working. The only problem is apps like chrome, Nova launcher still cut off the notch area of the screen. I appreciate the idea. Maybe this will get figured out later down the line.

You can get nova to work by enabling full-screen mode in the phone settings. Unfortunately for some reason Chrome isn't listed on the list of apps, that's why you have the black bar up top.

Got Nova working. I installed Dolphin browser for now until Chrome can be used. I appreciate the help! I had my 5T set up the same way with the sticky immersion.
Sorry for the title but can't find the name of this thing.
Because of the ****ty OnePlus weather app I have a blue font when I slide from the top since the update of Android 11. Hadn't this font before was dark with Android 10.
Now can't remove it even with the weather app not installed... Tried dark mode as well with app but the app doesn't appear in dark mode menu...
Any ideas guys ?
Thanks a lot
Edit : problem is with the font of the shelf of OnePlus launcher...
Can't remove the blue sky font from the weather app whatever I'm in dark mode or not

Made a screenshot
I just got it today too, from the launcher update. Kind of ruined the idea of dark mode. Hopefully it will be fixed this week. But then again, devs never listen to us users. I use a much better weather app, so pre-installed weather is always removed from my phones.
