[Q] Android themes without a Launcher APP - General Questions and Answers

Hi every one I've been trying to find themes for my G fit that don't need a launcher app, but I couldn't find any, so I was wondering do I have to install a launcher app to install themes?? I also want to design my own themes.
PS: my phone isn't rooted, nor have I changed anything in it since I bought it in 2012, I have tried rooting it, but I failed.

[Q] complete optimus v list of roms

hey guys i got my optimus v and i love it, but i have installed a few apps and it is lagging and i still cant play .avi files. i figured that OCing would fix this. so i was wondering could someone give me a complete list of roms that will work? i already have my phone rooted. and as for the rom i would very much like to not change anything, all i want is overclocking and tethering to work. or could someone show me how to modify the stock rom to let me do those two things?
tethering should work no problem with "wifi tether" app from the market IF you have rooted your phone.
i am having problems getting overclock to stick after returning to homescreen.

[Q] MIUI icons reverting back to normal

Hi all,
First of all, sorry if this is the wrong forum, I didn't know where else to put it. I recently got MIUI v3 on my Galaxy GT-I9505, and have been using the theme editor to change the icons for some applications. When I transform the icons, I click the 'complete apply' option which pushes it to my phone and the icons are changed. However, after about 10 minutes or so, the icons revert back to how they were, along with the wallpaper for some reason. I also tried saving it as .mtz, but when I tried applying it, it stated that I need authorization and to only download from the official market.
I am unsure on what to do, I've looked up on many guides/forums and havent been able to find a solution. If anyone could help that'd be great
Maybe the problem is with the theme changer.. Download any launcher and use themes on launcher best way.

It would be best if it is without root. But if its there with root it will also work.
I tried S Launcher and some launchers from the play store but it does not give me tge same samsung interface.
Also provide method to install as well as uninstall the same.
Thanks in advance.

If your going for root and have a custom ROM installed them you can just download a theme from play store that will help you
But if you wanna so it on stock then there's no other option to do it without launcher
Also I would prefer root because theme will give you a better interface everywhere not only in app drawer but also in settings,notification drawer etc !!

Ok no problem. Provide me the instructions for installation with root.
Can it be done just by rooting the device without installing a custom rom. It would be delightful if that is possible.
Just like we flash a zip file for some apps to be installed.

To root your device you can refer to another thread on XDA
Custom ROM is necessary for theme effect !!

I don't really understand what you mean by that. Firstly be sure whether you wanna root you device or not . It's a risky job indeed to root the device . make sure you refer to the thread properly and have all the requirements. If you don't want all this stuff to be done then enjoy the launcher effects.

1. I want to root the device (Only if it is required).
2. I want to install the custom rom (Only if it is required).
3. I want the complete galaxy transformation pack (My phone should look completely like samsung).
4. I want the instructions to install all this.
5. I also want instructions to uninstall all this in case if I want to bring back the stock default system.

Thank you for your reply. This is similar to what I want.
I want to use whole samsung interface on my moto E2
(Samsung default messaging app, phone dialer etc etc , everything samsung)
The launcher which you have given works good and also provides the look which I want but I also want all the apps from samsung devices.

I've tried this as on my moto e but not with a Samsung interface, i tried this with the HTC sense 7 interface, by Xpirit here on XDA, but this made my moto e slow and laggy.
I also tried a windows phone interface with windows apps, I didn't like it.
Samsung's touchwiz is renowned for being laggy and slow on Samsung devices, why you want need this on a moto E is beyond me, but that's your choice!
What a full touchwiz port would run like on a moto e 2015 I can't say, because I don't know!
Just a small word of caution.........
I find that unless you flash a "themed" custom ROM, you won't get the "full" other manufacturer effect you desire, some element will still be stock android or "basic"
I haven't found any good themed custom ROMs for the moto e 2015, I'm not saying there isn't any, I just haven't found them.
But what I have found is placing different launchers, themes, overlays and xposed mods slow my moto e down to a crawl, performance is drastically affected.
Please consider this before you go ahead (you don't have to take my advise, any modification you choose to make is up to you)
Good luck

I have an idea but not sure about its success. You could go to any Samsung galaxy 4, 5 or 6 XDA and download its Deodexed Stock ROM
After doing that, try extracting the system.img and from the system image, you will get an app folder which will have the system apps. Choose what you like and copy those to your phone. As I said, I'm not sure whether this works.:laugh::laugh:
P.S : And yeah, just like @ivan39 said, y do you need a touchwiz background!! I mean, I owned a Samsung. It was a nightmare. I didn't even keep it for 6 months. Exchanged it for a moto e2. Just y?

I had several Samsung's, last one I had was an s9000i or s1 someone gave to me, it was the easiest to root/flash ROMs/make mods for, but it was the slowest and had the most pathetic performance of any any smartphone I've owned.
I'll personally never have another Samsung, I now only buy phones that are stock or pure android, I find them much better without all that bloat!
I did notice a lot of those horrible cheap Chinese handsets available have a touch wiz like interface, maybe you could find a port of that?
Edit
A discussion/disagreement at work today regarding theming ect......
Someone happened to notice my own moto e homescreen looks like the nexus 5x.
I only use the "beach drone" nexus 5x wallpaper, and I use Nova launcher with its standard marshmallow icons, but that's where the similarities with the Nexus ends.
I use the CLock weather/clock widget with google now weather icons that the nexus doesn't, and I also use a different google search widget on my home screen to the nexus.
The gentleman who took me to task over "copying" the nexus home screen could not grasp the fact android is so customisable, and as he had his own moto e 2015 with the standard launcher, the yellow disk wallpaper, he didn't see the point to change it.
His argument was I have a ford focus C max as my car, but its not badged as a Bugatti or a Porsche.....
So if a Motorola looks like something else, it is something else and I'm messing around with stuff I "know nothing about"
I explained about theming/launchers/XDA/mycolourscreen/themer and icon packs but I'm afraid it fell on deaf ears and this man was quite upset I had changed my handset so Much from standard.
Point I want to make is we all make our devices what we want, that's the beauty of android.
If you want a Samsung theme, good. If I want to try out HTC sence 7 (that I love but its laggy on my moto e) then that's great.
Its all about individuality and we mustn't let others tell us different!
If you want samsung why not just buy it?

I dont want to root my phone or install custom rom on it.
Looking trough forums I found post with Galaxy S8 apps and I wanted to install them on my phone because they look great for my taste.
Half owners of S6 can install them but others have error with every app they try to install.
Solution is to unninstall previous updates for that apps in app settings, but there is no such option for me anymore in Nougat 7.0.
I just wanted to know is there any other way to install them

No there isn't, the only other way is to replace the s8 apk files into system, this requires root though. If the apks are not installing via the usual way it's most likely down the specific nougat firmware your handset is on, to test I'd find out the firmware of a member who has managed to successfully install and see if it is one that your phone will accept. Other than that you're out of luck mate.
Look at my last new thread what i have discovered

Android 10 bootanimation apex mod

Hello everyone, I'm trying to test this feature of Android 10.
What I'm trying to achieve is changing the default bootanimation without twrp or root. Through adb is not possible anymore but the apex manager bundled with android 10 seems to be good for this purpose.
It doesn't matter what kind of bootscreen I could load with apex, I just want to test that feature, anyone knows how to do it?
I didn't find any "precompiled" apex module for that.
Thanks
Does anyone have any clue about it?
Thanks
