SO after rooting my OnePlus i had to flash install my google apps, unfortunatly the default messenger app that comes stock with the one plus is also gone, this is very important for me because its the only messenger app(from my knowledge) that can be customized with my purchased themes i have. Changing messaging themes does not work on 3rd party messenger applications so i cant download any from play store either! ANY HELP?
THANKS!
Extract the APK from a zipped ROM and install as normal app.
Why don't you try Google Messenger
I'm pretty sure you will love the material design, blends in with almost any theme you install.
I would also recommend Textra, pretty much stock based, but with plenty of material design, theming and customisation options.

Im new to xda and i just wanted to share something i found about android wear.
i was installing various android launchers on my LG G watch with no luck (when i selected them they said they quit unexpectedly)
i tried zeam launcher, ADW launcher, holo launcher, go launcher and the stock motoactv launcher (i did try all of these on my motoactv to test if they work on a small screen and on my phone to test if they support lollipop and they worked)
then i found a launcher called barebone launcher and it worked however because it JUST launches apps (no widgets, no custom wallpapers) that's why it doesn't crash.

Sorry if this post is in the wrong place i just wanted to share a working normal android launcher on android wear

Well, this just provides me a good headstart with my just received LG G Watch. Should try on the barebone launcher as mentioned.
I tried a few alternate launchers and found it drains my battery pretty quick since they run constantly. I ended up just getting used to the stock launcher.
If you install purifiy (via adb) it kills background apps automatically saving the battery (you need to go into purifiys settings and add 3rd party watch faces to the ignore list

Do you have tried Mini launcher?
I have found this really useful. You can take a look on it.

Hello everyone!
On the play store I found a lot of very beautiful free icon packs and I would use them to give a fresh look to my S7. However we know that the stock launcher does not allow to replace icons, unless they are not unloaded from the Samsung theme store. The solution would be to install a third-party launcher, but I prefer to use that stock. Does any of you have any advice? Do you know if there is any way to change the icons in the launcher stock?
Thanks in advance guys, peace
I like to run stock Google apps, like Google Messages, and Google Calendar, etc.... Can those be dark themed when applying a full system theme ?
Like here are some Substratum themes, that are supposed to work on the S8, like this one;
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brit.swiftdark.substratum&hl=en
Since this Theme is made for Nexus / Pixel phones running stock Android, as well as now made to work for the Galaxy S8 / Note 8 line. Can this theme darken everything installed on the phone ? The Samsung apps, as well as any stock Google apps installed on the S8 ?
I don't own a S8+ yet, but thinking of getting one, and this Swift Dark theme is my fav theme. Just want to make sure it themes both the Samsung apps as well the Google apps.
Can I ask a big favor from someone here please? Someone install this theme and see if it themes Android messages or Google Calendar Etc
Did some YouTube searching last night, and it seems Substratum does allow theming of Google apps you install, like Google Calendar, but will also theme the phones stock Samsung Calendar as well.
Is that true ?
71 views and no replies. I guess no one here themes their phone ?
It will do that. YouTube it
I use Google Messages app for my mms/sms and I've downloaded it from the Play Store and I've noticed that they've made a special version for One UI when it's installed on a S22 Ultra, specifically the contact icons are a (awful) pastel gradient color. I prefer the regular non-One UI version with more vibrant icons that aren't gradient. So I installed an older version of the normal APK from APKPure app and it went back to normal, but in the Play Store prompted for updates and as I feared it updated to the One UI version again.
So my question is, is there a way to force which version I have on the phone without having to override it again with an update? Those pastels are just awful looking!
I was wondering if there's a way to change the icons of MIUI launcher. There are plenty of themes but I want to customize the icons on my own as I usually do with all my devices.
I usually just install Nova launcher and do everything, but since stupid MIUI breaks gesture navigation upon changing the home app I am searching for a way to change the icons of certain apps with my own Wich till now I do by making a custom apk and installing it.
Unfortunately MIui launcher does not seem to allow doing it that way.
I've tried with MIUI Theme manager apk from app store, but when I open it it's saying that I don't have any themes and I should check them in theme manager Wich is not true( I've downloaded some from themes app already)
Would appreciate any help if you guys know how I can do this.
