How to enable Gmail Dark theme for old Android versions using Xposed Module

One of the marquee features of Android 10 is the system-wide dark mode support. Google has made sure to make it’s all first-party apps compatible with the  Android 10 dark mode. While it’s good, one thing weird about the Dark Mode implementation is, some of the apps do include a manual toggle for switching dark mode on and off independently of the system value. The best example being the Gmail app from Google itself as the app features a dedicated toggle in the app settings which will be visible only on Android 10 devices.

The Xposed module is called Gmail Dark Theme Enabler. Simply, the module alters certain settings to make the theme toggle visible irrespective of the Android version. It’s been tested to work flawlessly on Android Pie and earlier, provided you have successfully installed Xposed or EdXposed. As you very well know, Xposed or EdXposed requires root, so it goes without saying the workaround needs root access for the module to do its magic.
