To get started, you’ll need your phone, a computer, and a USB cable to connect the two. You’ll simply need to trust DarQ’s developer, Quinny899, to be trustworthy. 9to5Google has not seen any issues with DarQ so far, but we have not thoroughly vetted the app for any potential security issues. Second, unlike the root-based method, this way of using DarQ is a bit complicated and it’s only temporary, meaning you’ll need to redo some of the steps below any time you restart your phone.įinally, understand that you’re installing an app that is not on the Play Store and running a third-party developer’s script from your computer. First, as proper dark mode only just arrived with Android 10, you’ll need to be using an Android 10 or newer device. Schedule dark mode for sunset (Optional)īefore we get started, there are a few things you’ll need to know.Start the DarQ service from your computer.Enable Developer Options and USB Debugging.How to force dark specific Android 10 apps without root But the steps aren’t exactly first-timer friendly, so here’s your guide to using DarQ to selectively use “Override force-dark” on certain apps on Android 10. As noted by Android Police, DarQ has found a new way to work that no longer needs your Android 10 phone to be rooted to force dark mode upon your apps. Until this week, though, DarQ required root, making it only useful to those who are willing to modify their phone in potentially unsafe ways. To counteract this, the indie app “DarQ” was created to automatically toggle force-dark on and off depending on which app you’re using. However, if an app is already dark, the opposite happens, making the app very bright.Īs more apps have gained native dark modes, the long-term usefulness of “Override force-dark” has worn thin, as more apps look worse instead of better with the toggle enabled. In the Android 10 Developer Settings, a new option was added called “Override force-dark” which essentially inverts the color scheme of your phone’s apps to go from being bright with dark text to dark with bright text. With a little help from a third-party app, DarQ, you can now change specific apps to use dark mode - and even schedule dark mode to be enabled - without needing root. While not every app has a dark mode, Android 10 has a way to force apps to be dark. Arguably, the best feature of Android 10 is its dark mode toggle, allowing you to swap your phone and its apps over to a newer, darker theme.
