Hi I'm from Iran and when I go to the theme store there is only Purple and Picnic theme available for download!
I think this is some kind of regional and/or CSC limitation. Is there anyway to access full theme store?
I tried turning off location, changing IP address, clearing cache/data of Galaxy Apps/Themes/Theme Store but no luck
P.S: I don't know what is wrong with samsung? theme sanction? really?!

I dislike the name Play Shop and want to have Market and the Market icon back on my Homescreen. I have uninstalled Play Shop, but when I go to the Market, before long Market has updated itself to the new name and icon.
Is it possible to somehow change the name of Play Shop to Market and change the icon? Alternatively is it possible to stop Market updating itself?
My phone is a rooted Galaxy Ace.
TIA.
Decompile it, go to string.XML, change the name. It will be at first few lines normally.
Accidentally sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA Premium
Using tb you can freeze the market updater. Change the icon by extracting the apk on your computer and swap the images over. You could even use your launcher to change the icon.
Thanks for the tip, I also don't like the icon (For now I removed from the first screen )
I don't see what the big deal is, but if you're really that desperate to return to the past, here you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543427

rashid. fairus I didn't perceive any improvement in performance; it probably exists only in your perception. Even if I had that wouldn't make any difference. When you are my age you might not be keen on change either lol.
Thanks to everyone else.
I had it configured in 'multicon' app and after the update it stayed with same icon (no names are shown with this app)
Hey all, I have a theme I love and use on my S6 from the theme store called Rain Drops. Now that i have the S7, I can't find it at all in the theme store. Not sure why, but that's fine... Anyone know if there is a way to migrate it over to S7 manually?
Thanks in advance!

Probably because the ROM is different, the resources are most likely not exactly the same, this would result in inconsistency or incomplete theme applied. It's easier to turn off S6 themes for S7 than making them cross device compatible.
You could potentially patch in the theme resources for the framework/ROM, but it is a long and tedious task to replace resources to make a theme. It would also result in unsigned non-official files being flashed and in the process probably also void your Knox warranty (0x1).
Maybe someone can build the theme for the Samsung store? http://developer.samsung.com/galaxy#mytheme (not sure how exactly one does this.. )

If your s6 is rooted copy the theme apks to your SD card transfer to computer and then transfer to s7 install apk should show up in themes
The theme probably hasn't been updated for MM yet. Once the dev updates the theme, then it should start showing up in the store.
I flashed the TBO black play store zip but unfortunately Play Store keeps updating and making it go white again! I have tried using a system wide black theme but none of the themes I tried (Pitch Black, Domination, etc) themed the new version of Play Store properly. So my question is, how do I disable google play auto updates? I'm on a rooted OP3 on Paranoid Android 6.0.1, I have tried the "com.android.vending-1" trick but it doesn't work because play store just creates a com.android.vending-2 folder and so forth! Any suggestions?

Nobody has any good ideas?
I want to do that also.. For different reason though..
Hey, guys.
I live in Canada and my provider is Virgin. I have a P20 with EMUI 9.0 (Android Pie) and I've been using the themes app fine even though I didn't have AppGallery or Huawei Mobile Services installed through 3rd party apps. I used to have options to look at more than my preset themes. Due to the recent US-Huawei ban, I have decided to try out the AppGallery and it installed Huawei Mobile Services app as well. Since Canada didn't show up as one of the regions, I have chosen UK as the region. I have lost all the abilities to change my themes since then. I have attached a screenshot of what my Themes homepage looks like. There is an option to customize but it still only shows stock options and no new installed themes and no way to theme the actual UI. Is there any way around this? I have also factory reset my phone and it didn't help.

Hi!
For theme downloads and theme editing I've tried the following apps:
Themes for Huawei / Honor / EMUI - This android app is not only for downloading themes but also for editing. You can modify every theme as you wish - change fonts, icons, emojies, colors.
Theme Editor For EMUI - This android app can import hwt files to edit them. It's not very user-friendly.
Huawei hwtTool - This windows/iOS software is a developer tool from Huawei Dev-Server. It can create and edit themes in the most comfortable way. Your PC.
I think you should try the first app first.
Greetings!
Thanks for these apps. But the problem that I have isn't that I cannot install themes. Once I install a custom theme, there isn't a way to apply it. I used to be able to see custom installed themes in the Huawei factory Themes app but now the options are gone.
As you can see in my original post, the preset themes are the only themes I can see. There used to be an option to choose "My Themes". After I choose Customize option, I get to change the wallpapers and icons but even with those options I only get preset themes.
I even tried to find a place to move a custom hwt file to where the preset themes are placed but couldn't find it.
This is super annoying since P20 doesn't come with native dark mode like the P20 Pro.

I'm having this same problem with my p20
Exact same problem here. Even tried using the Huawei mobile service but it just won't even start. Anyone having a workaround?
same prob here
I have the same issue, but I am sure it was a problem before I added app gallery (I chose Australia lol) and mobile services. It was because I couldn't change themes that I went searching for them in the first place.
I need a dark mode. Any updates?
Hi guys. I'm a satisfied samsung Tab S7 FE user, but there is one thing that annoys me. Google maps are always having white theme and I can not find any toggle in settings to change it. I have not found any solution yet (reinstalling an app, clearing cache and any data, latest update available installed). From my point of view, it looks like the google maps app does not support dark theme on this tablet. Of course it is not a very big deal, but I think that it should work on almost every device (there is no reason to delete it from settings section). If you have found a solution, please write the answer below. I would really appreciate that.

this is the google guide
try it
On your Android phone 10+ phone, open the Google Maps app .
Tap your profile picture or initial Settings. Theme.
Select one of the following options: Always in light theme: Dark theme is always disabled in Maps, regardless of system settings. ...
Tap Save.
source : google support
As I said, I can't find a toggle to change an app theme. On two of my phones I can change it easily. On the tablet this setting is not listed in settings section.

I think in tablets we can't change it because I have SM-T585 and google maps doesn't allow me to set dark mode theme
