Force Dark

Amazon disables Android force dark via forceDarkAllowed=false in its theme. The module hooks ViewRootImpl.determineForceDarkType and forces the return to FORCE_DARK_ALWAYS, triggering GPU-level darkening across native views and WebViews. Extra hooks paint window backgrounds dark and block white-flash on WebView load. DarkModeInjector ships CSS overrides for elements the algorithm gets wrong.

determineForceDarkType was introduced in Android 15 (API 35). On Android 10-14 the primary hook does not apply. A fallback on HardwareRenderer.setForceDark is attempted but Amazon’s theme opt-out blocks darkening on those versions.

Disabled by default. Enable in settings if on Android 15+.

Troubleshooting

1. Confirm the module is enabled in LSPosed and scoped to Amazon Shopping.
2. Force stop Amazon Shopping and reopen.
3. Check the AmznKiller dashboard: Xposed must be active and selector count above 0.
4. Tap refresh. If it fails, reset the selector URL in settings.
5. If pages render broken, disable CSS injection, refresh selectors, then re-enable.

This is cosmetic blocking only. Network requests still happen. Pair with DNS-based blockers (AdGuard, NextDNS, Pi-hole) for full coverage.
