For those that want the Marvel Avenger themes and other stock themes from the S6, for their S7/S7 Edge, follow the directions below. Root is not required but you will need to purchase an app called Package Disabler Pro in order for this to work. Now, if you had an S6 and already obtained those stock themes then you should still have them. This is for those people that missed out on the S6 and want those themes on their S7's.
***Before starting please make sure you're using the default theme***
1) Purchase and download Package Disabler Pro and install it.
2) Download a file manager from the Play Store. Any should work fine, I use File Manager
3) Go here and download the Marvel theme of your choice. Be sure and give "Thanks" to Gunthermic for posting the S6 stock themes and making them available to us. I also recommend making a folder somewhere on your drive to put these zip files in because you will have to extract the files within them before copying them to your phone and there's quite a few files for each theme.
4) Connect your phone to your PC and transfer the extracted theme files to your phone's internal storage. Once again, I recommend making a folder on your phone to keep the theme files in. I created one called "Themes".
5) Open file manager on your phone and locate the theme files you just copied. There should be 2 APK files that will stand out from all the others, they usually begin with "Avengers"...the others will start with "com". You want to install the larger APK file first(it won't have "Wallpaper" in the file name) and once that's installed then install the wallpaper apk second.
6) Open up your Theme Store and you should see the Marvel theme you just installed. It will say "Trial" on it but just ignore that for now. Go ahead and press free trial and apply the theme.
7) Now that your theme is loaded you need to disable the Theme store and Theme Center using Package Disabler Pro otherwise the 5 min trial will end and you'll revert back to the default theme.
8) Open Package Disabler Pro and once the list is populated scroll down until you find Theme Store and disable it.
9) Now to disable Theme Center you're going to have to manually add this one because it isn't listed. Go into options for Package Disabler Pro and select Manual Disabler(2nd option from bottom). Now type in com.samsung.android.themecenter and press Disable.
You're finished! The theme will remain on until you re-enable the Theme Store and Theme Center within Package Disabler Pro.
Thanks

Hey Guys.. I think i know how to prevent the revert theme after 5 minutes, even if you already install the June Patch system updates for regular Samsung S7/S7 edge..
This is my method:
1. Install Batman_M.apk
2. Apply the TRIAL Batman Themes
3. Open the Package Disabler Pro and disable the "Themes Store" & " Themes Center"
4. Close All Apps via Recent Menu
5. Open Settings > Applications > Application Manager > More (upper right) > Show System Apps > scroll down and find "Themes" > Storage > Clear Cache > Clear Data
6. Close All Apps..
The thing is, you should clear the "Themes" data.. Not the "Package Disabler Pro" data in the Applications menu..
I've done this and it worked on unroot Samsung S7 Edge..
By the way, this trick won't be available if you Shutdown/Restart your S7.. You should clear the data for the "Themes" again after reboot your phone.. Otherwise, it will revert back to the previous theme after 5 minute..
Hope this help.. Have fun being the new Batman..
Thanks worked a treat

Guys super problem here.
I installed some avengers themes and used package disabler on theme center. All fine but... phone went down on power and now (charged back) refuses to start (like bootloop stuck on flashing Samsung logo).
Seems that the disabled packages are preventing the phone from booting.
Tried to wipe cache from stock recovery but no luck on that.
What to do now? Reinstall firmware with Odin? In case will I loose photos and stuff?
Please help
Clear cache in recovery. If doesn't work, try factory reset in recovery

Credits
CyanogenMod Team - Source for Protips
Despair, Inc. - All of the Demotivators in this mod.
Insomnia - Making me bored enough to do this.
Requirements
Possibly Root - I assume you have to be rooted since this is replacing a system app.
HDPI/MDPI Compatible
Android 1.5+ - I assume this because minSDKversion is set to 3 by default in AndroidManifest.xml.
Only supports English (res/values/arrays.xml).
About
Basically, I couldn't sleep and was bored and was thinking about how unused/useless the Protips widget is and wanted to make it a little bit more usable. I like to laugh; I like sarcasm and bad humor; I like Demotivators, so all this just sort of came together. I take no credit at all for these; I just put them into this mod. I included all of the Demotivators that I could; there were 7/8 that would not fit because of the length of them; they are pretty easy to find if you go to the site and look through them. Also, there are no pictures included with this because it would have decreased the amount of text I could include. If you have never seen/read any of the Demotivators, then I suggest you go to the site and at least look through all of them because some of them don't make a ton of sense without the picture, but I included those anyways because they make me laugh, and I know what the picture looks like regardless.
Screenshot
The app uses the stock images, this is just using my theme engine theme. Mainly just to give an idea of text.

ADB Push
Code:
adb remount
adb push Demotivators_HDPI-signed.apk /system/app/Protips.apk
Install like a normal APK file (untested)
I changed the versionCode and versionName, so this should in theory be able to be installed from the sdcard like any other app, but is untested.
Code:
Place APK on sdcard, and install with file browser of choice.
ZIP File
Code:
Place file on sdcard and flash in recovery.
Usage
Longpress on homescreen, select widgets, select Demotivators, press widget to cycle, enjoy.
Download
HDPI APK File - http://bit.ly/gkuscw
HDPI ZIP File - http://bit.ly/igdKqO
Flash in recovery.

Flash in recovery.
Ending Notes
I hope you enjoy this and get some laughter out of it. I know I do, and it's much needed sometimes.
This is classic! Great work man! Thanks for thinking of this... (ah, the productivity of insomnia) Hmm, could be an original demotivator. "Insomnia... (Won't think of anything funny to put in here until I'm laying in bed tonight)"
Installed fine using astro for me. Thanks for this.

Strange thing, app installs fine but when I add the widget to my homescreen it shows the Android-hints widget.
Installed it through ES-file explorer, IO-file explorer and Super Manager. I'm not able to install it the other way.
Anyone else having this issue?
mmmh made sth. wrong... only get the normal tipps but no demotivations... installed the app via the posted direct-download link
install failed
I tried to install using RootExplorer but was denied. Failed to install. Am going to continue trying and will edit post after I succeed.
EDIT: I finally got a free minute to try again and have successfully installed using terminal emulator and jrummy's Roottools market app. I had to use Roottools to mount system bc I can never remember the correct way to type it in terminal emulator. Here's my method :
1. Mount system with Roottools
2. Open Terminal Emulator and type the following:
PHP:
su
cp /mnt/sdcard/download/Demotivators_HDPI-signed.apk /system/app/protips.apk
reboot
The widget will be in the list after booting back up.
NOTE: Your file may be in a different location and you will need to modify the command accordingly.
Its not allowing me to install. Tells me to 'upgrade'. Its confusing it with protips. Rooted Epic, stock using Astro.

I put a .zip file to flash in recovery in the OP that you can try instead trying to install like a normal apk. I'm not sure of what the issue is.
This is just a modified version of Protips which is why it's trying to make you "upgrade" it.
funny app
great way to replace that horrible Protips app lol. I just used Root Explorer, and went to the System/Apps folder. Just rename Protips.apk to Protips.bak (so you still have it) then just move the Demotivational app to System/Apps and rename it to Protips.apk. Then I just rebooted my phone, went to my widgets, and added it easily
How did you get it to look the way it is in the screenshot? Part of the theme?

Warning: I am not responsible if I am not responsible if loading this rom hard bricks your tab. Install this at your own risk.
NOTE: This ROM is not compatible with Gary9d's Kernel
DO NOT INSTALL THIS ON T-Mobile's Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 plus
DO NOT INSTALL THIS ON GT-P6200
If you do install this on another device besides GT-P6210, you will soft brick your tab and I WILL NOT be able to help you out since I DO NOT have those devices.
I'm not sure if this will work on all the GT-P6210 from all regions since I don't have a samsung galaxy tab 7 plus from europe or any other place.
I am only sure that it will work on the American GT-P6210
Ok, so this is the first rom I have ever made so please be patient with me. If any of you more experienced developers see something wrong with this rom, please tell me so that I can fix it. The rom is based samsung's LA3 firmware.
Here are the rom features:
build.prop tweaks (improved touch screen response, enabled launcher hardware acceleration, experimental dalvik heapsize, possible battery saving tweaks, etc).
zip-aligned apps
removed bloatware (mostly samsung's apps such as their music player and store)
de-odexed
root (just install superuser from the market)(I don't take credit for this, Garyd9 is the one that got us root access for our device).
Go Launcher HD for tablet as default launcher (removed the crappy touchwiz-honeycomb launcher)
The rom is very basic right now, but I will be adding more features later on.
Installation instructions:
First you must have clockworkmod recovery installed. If you don't already have it installed go to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379532 and follow the instructions
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO A BACKUP BEFORE IN CASE SOMETHING GOES WRONG WITH THE INSTALLATION.
Once you have clockworkmod recovery installed, download the omgbbqrom betav1.zip and put it on your device memory. Then boot into clockworkmod recovery and choose
-install zip from sdcard
then
-choose zip from sdcard (not choose zip from internal sdcard, because thats actually the external sd card)
then
look for "OMGBBQROM Final Release" and select it
then
It will ask your to confirm install, select "-yes - install OMGBBQROM BETA v1". Wait for it to install.
I also recommend wiping dalvik cache, battery stats and fixing permissions. But it is not completely necessary
After it has finished installing go back to the main menu and look for -wipe data/factory reset and select it and choose "-yes -- delete all user data". When its done wiping the data reboot your tablet and wait for it to start up.
It will take about 5 min to boot up. It will stay on the samsung screen for a while because it's organizing all the new files. The first boot may be a little laggy because the market will be restoring all the apps to your tab.
Change Log:
v1.0: Initial Release
v1.1: Modified dalvik heapsize and zip-aligned system folder for real now. Improved wifi and improved video and audio streaming
v2.0: Improved battery life with deeper sleep. Disabled dithering for better performance. Enabled Dalvik VM Just-In-Time Compiler.
OMGBBQROM BETA v1.0 OBSOLETE AND CRAPPY
OMGBBQROM BETA v1.1 Removed (this one was mostly for testing purposes)(Please download the final release)
OMGBBQROM Final Release Removed for now (Need to add some fixes)

Doesn't seem like he themed it much, so it should *almost* look identical to stock.

Yep, I didn't theme anything. I did try to change the font of the lockscreen clock to the roboto ice cream sandwich font but for some reason the hour part of the clock kept getting cut off. So for example the time was 8:30, then you would only see the right half of the number 8 lol. So for right now im leaving it with the stock honeycomb clock font. But I'll post a screenshot of that so you guys can see what I mean.
Roboto Font
Honeycomb Font
Sorry for bad quality of the images guys but atleast you can tell the difference between the two.
Sorry Guys but I removed v1.0, I wasn't really happy with it. But now im uploading v1.1 right now and maybe its just me but v1.1 feels much faster

Great work! If I were you I would remove the Sim Tools, Phone, and Messaging APK's since our Tab is Wi-Fi only.
If it were my ROM I would also replace the stock Browser with Opera Mobile so we can have a real desktop experience, use ssLauncher instead ofGoLauncher, install Gesture Control to hide and show the Honeycomb Bar, install Loquendo TTS Susan instead of the stock robot voice, install the Toshiba Thrive Media Player and remove all others including Gallery, install Spare Parts and uncheck Compatibility Mode so any app can be fullscreen, install Supernote from Toshiba Thrive, install Swiftkey X for Tablets for the keyboard, Wi-Fi finder for wardriving, Zedge for notification tones, and TV.com, Play Movies, and Crackle for movies, and of course Tiny Flashlight and CameraZoom FX. Other than that it would be great if we could use Gary's kernel since it gives incredible battery life and NoLock so we don't have to deal with a lock screen, and GrooveIP so we can make calls via Google Voice on Wi-Fi.
Other than that it's rad.

Thanks for the feedback. The point of this rom is for it to be the lightest as possible so that means having the least apps as possible and letting the people install their own apps. Also I don't think I can put swiftkey x for tablets in because it would be illegal to put in a paid app in the rom. However I will ask for permission to put gesture control into this rom. I'll see if I can remove the simcard tools, phone and messaging apk and still make it boot.

Edit: running smooth so far. Only thing I did was replace the Go launcher with the stock launcher, haven't been a "Go" fan since their whole "data hoarding" fiasco a while back.
Will continue to test/keep an eye out for anything unusual

DISCLAIMER: I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE...BE SURE TO BACKUP BEFORE U BEGIN!
First and foremost thanks to @xperiacle for originally porting this version of multiwindow from the NOTE 10.1 JB leak...i'll be the first to admit that i am NOT a dev so basically this a just a hack job to enable the 5 layout mod for the N5100/5110 as well as several other samsung devices.
UPDATE V2: The phablet mode force close has been fixed which was the only real issue...please note that i may need to create a separate version for the N511x so please test and report
U MUST BE USING A DEODEXED ROM TO INSTALL THIS MOD!
TABLET INSTRUCTIONS
1. install busybox
2. download an alternative launcher (i personally use apex)
3. install mode switcher app by @xperiacle & switch to tablet mode (link below...may also need to switch to alternative multiwindow mode)
4. flash file below or open zip and manually install using aroma or twrp (don't forget to set permissions)
5. delete "flashbarservice.apk" (system/app) and "com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml" (system/etc/permissions)
6. reboot and enjoy!
PHABLET INSTRUCTIONS
1. Edit your build prop by adding the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to the bottom of the file

I'm assuming you're using alternative mode or u have previously deleted it...if not then don't worry about it because u don't want it there anyway
As far as the notification bar missing u will need to add the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to the bottom of your build prop...I apologize for leaving this out of the instructions and will go edit my post now
After lots of systemui FCs (mainly happened after a new notification is about to appear or disappear, maybe some resources were lost here), I have to roll back to original systemui.apk. I'm using chinese stock no-deodexed rom, the one comes with the device.
After that, something strange happened...
I didn't have a dalvik cache rebuild of clear up after switched back to the systemui.apk and odex of original stock firmware, so the system made some funny changes to the dex file in the cache.
And now I lost the menu soft button on the status bar (the patched systemui.apk provided here did the same. The menu button is still there, but does nothing), but gained resizable docked window, an even better version of multi-window implementation for me. (Before all this, I had to be careful with floating windows, as they were really "floats" and dragged out the docked space and changed to some strange dimensions)
Maybe some code parts of this function (mini-app style launch pad and multiwindow layout manager) was build in Note 8.0's system, but separated in different modules compared to Note 10.1 or II, as I discovered resourses of resizing controls of docked windows resides in flashbarservice.apk. I didn't check the code for it as I'm not a real developer, sorry.
So maybe someone could really make a "organ transplant operation", isolates the core part of mini-app style launch pad and window layout manager from Note 10.1's systemui.apk, and adapt it for use with Note 8.0's "internal organs" as Note 8.0 may already has all the necessary parts for this kind of multiwindow handling.

yeah, the force close issue is weird because i haven't had ANY but to be honest i think the biggest part of the trick is a fresh install with the latest firmware. Before i did that i was having a few issues myself...i know its a pain but it was DEFINITELY worth it so i guess i'm gonna have to suggest that in the op.
as far as that new multiindow mode...that's what i was using before i got the 5 layout functionality working. It's actually based off of the dpi but certain values break the "snap" function...otherwise it's done the same exact way @xperiacle explained in the "another multiwindow mode" and is essentially what his switcher app does (it probably just doesn't set proper dpi to retain the "snap" function...if i had to guess u also have xposed installed). Even better....if u reinstall the flashbar (which i'm assuming u aleady did unlesss you're using shortcuts...u may need to find another numder for dpi so the bar will show) u will notice that now u can do the slide resize as well as have dockable float which is the best version of the "regular" way...ultimately 5 layout is superior in every manner so i won't be going back but yeah i agree it's awesome

Nope, and if so I won't appreciate this
The gray deformed bar under the window in my screenshot is the resize handle, and works like in original Note 8.0 multiwindow split mode. Windows now only resize in horizontal ways, which is just what I need. In original stock multiwindow mode, the divide bar won't display and function in 120 dpi or 160 dpi.
What this mode being different from the "stock mode" is I can have a window occupied *half* of the screen, above a full screen app (something like "miniapps on steroid" ). In stock mode, I have to squeeze two apps in a divided full screen layout, and if any one of them is restored to normal mode, the layout is broken. And I can't superimpose multiwindow enabled app on a non-enabled full screen app.
By deleting com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml, I have the highly "customizable" floating window mode, like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2243142
After the dalvik cache "mishap", now I have a docked window superimposed on any normal apps
4.2.2 compatable?

On 4.2.2 it works with default flashbar as a launcher of resizable windows.
In system/etc/permission rename or delete "com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml"
replace with "com.sec.feature.multiwindow.tablet.xml"
You will get normal flashbar on side, but every app you swype from it launches "windowed" with option to maximize, minimize, close..resize by taking window on corners.
There is no option to minimize from fulscreen - maybe experiacle should look into the code what is missing.
When you minimize, just a "big icon" if the app appears on the middle of the screen - this must be tweaked or is in development stage at Samsung - probably for next update of N10,1.
Double tap on the icon will bring the minimized app back to state where you minimized it.
Additionally you can put minimode.tray permission + qemu.hw.mainkey=0 in buildprop and you will get all miniapps working as well.
I didnt play with 4.1.2 much, had no time and i rooted my device just now after upgrade to 4.2.2. I played a bit with the device and found out that miniaps are working with this windowing as well.

wait...so are u saying that the systemui file provided in the zip in the first post of this thread works with 4.2.2 or are u just stating that replacing the file u suggested while leaving everything else stock will produce the floating windows (basically what @xperiacle is doing in the other thread)?

Just replace that xml permision file from .phone to .tablet as i described before - everything stock, just the permission file.
Tried a lot of combinations with replacing disabling some files, but replacing this simple .tablet permision gives you floating mw launched from stock flashbar.
-you will loose stock half to half screen mw.
-every app launched from flashbar run windowed - move, resize, minimize maximize.
-when you minimize, big icon of the app appears...doubble tap on icon restores back the app.
-maximize app - when app is fullscreen minize button is not there, so it wont work yet.
Xperiacle know more where the proper is for enabling those resize buttons in fullscreen. I am happy so far with this, running 160dpi but no tablet mode.
I also added navbar+miniapps, i find those miniapps usefeull. So basically, we have all goodies in 4.2.2, mw+miniapps. Just to make it perfect with minimize from fullscreen.
I created this theme by hand and it works with lollipop theme chooser and wont be found on Samsungs theme store. Enjoy the free theme
Install Instructions
Step 1
Download http://d-h.st/2uh3
Step 2
Install
Step 3
If rooted
move Theme.DarkMatter.json from data/overlays/trialjson to data/overlays/usersjon
then reboot
If you don't do this step it will only show in Theme chooser as a trial theme
If not rooted you can use package disabler to freeze themes 1.0 so the trial doesn't run out.( untested)
then reboot

If you wish to uninstall you can switch to a different theme in theme chooser then run DarkMatter.v1.0.apk a second time it says it is installing but it really uninstalling. Then reboot to recovery clear cache/dalvek and it will be gone.
When I apply this theme after moving the file to the appropriate place. It does not apply correctly. I am rooted and I followed your directions but no luck. Any ideas?

Need more info... what do you mean by moving it to the appropriate place (needs to be installed). Also have you checked the md5 to make sure the apk is complete. MD5 Sum: 82c6d66213d44f913e3d04f388f80904
Also do you see a bunch of Theme.DarkMatter.* directories in data/app (if these directories don't exist then it isn't installed) see the example attached below.
Ok im rooted so after flashing the apk i transffer file from trial folder to user folder and reboot then it shows up in themes but when i install it it doesnt change the dialer icons or settings to the appropriate theme. Any ideas?

I've tried Titanium but I'm either missing something (there are a lot of files to backup) or its just not doable from there because of the way the system locks inactive themes when applied via the theme engine.

there must be a copy of Theme.DarkMatter.json still in the trials folder. If you copied it instead of move it then go back to data/overlays/trialjson and delete and make sure Theme.DarkMatter.json exists in data/overlays/usersjon. be sure to reboot your phone after.
Your the man!

Need more info like what ROM are you using? Some ROM's break the theme engine. Also check the data/app folder and make sure there is a bunch of Theme,DarkMatter.* directories and try selecting the default theme before selecting DarkMatter.

Hello to everyone
I just downloaded the XFA PER for my G935F and I used the "stock" csc which it was over 150mb. I said ok will flash it just to see what it is inside. The installation and booting took a while and when I finished with the setup wizard I saw the batman theme installation. I was shocked. The theme is beatiful and it has many great features. (New AOD style added)
Photos are given.
Take a look and let me know what do you think.
When I find new features I will let you know
I was asked to upload a guide on how you can install the PER firmware with the Injustice theme. You should backup everything since this is going to wipe all of your data. If this is your first time flashing with Odin or you are a newbie, please stay away....... This may be risky for you......
Here is the guide
1. Backup everything since this is going to delete all of your files
2. Download this rom
3. Download Odin 3.11.1
4. Open odin and select the AP to the AP and CP to the CP etc......
4b. Go to the pit section and select the given PIT, because the CSC.tar is very big
4c. Make sure that you have the re-partition button checked
5. Make sure that your device is charged more than 40%
6. Reboot to download mode
7. Flash it
8. When it comes up, force the phone to boot to the recovery and wipe data (this step is essential if you want the special CSC to be applied
9. Reboot
10. Enjoy
Don't forget to press the Thanks button
wow！so cool .Can you share the batman theme.
Anyone able to extract this theme yet?
in 10 min I will upload it.
I unpacked the theme from the sec_csc.zip
I don't think so that it will be able to be installed as a normal app but you may need root to put it to the /system/app/ folder
Here the link
So you can install the theme regularly but it says trial and it ends after a few minutes

I recommend to everyone to clean install the rom

I unpacked the theme from the sec_csc.zip
I don't think so that it will be able to be installed as a normal app but you may need root to put it to the /system/app/ folder
Here the link

I have installed the apk and it works fine if you want to keep the theme active for more then five minutes use package disabler from the playstore to disable the theme store. Here's a link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpro
This will allow you to keep the theme active.

It works perfectly fine for me. Did you make sure you disabled both theme store applications. Here is an xml file download this:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9e0-e27EVVKcml6X0hWSzI5cFE/view?usp=drivesdk
Then activate the theme again. Once you have activated the theme go into package disabler and import the xml the one you just downloaded. The theme should now be activated and will stay on until you reactivate theme store.

Hi you could try visiting this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/themes/marvel-themes-s7-t3340869
Basically you need to disable both Theme store and Theme Center.
Theme store can be disabled easily. As for theme center, you have to select manual disabler in package disabler pro and type com.samsung.android.themecenter to disable it. I have tried and it worked on my non rooted s7 edge.
people first of all its working great you just have to know how to cancell the trial version.
sec ill explain you but if you likes theme you have the bigest theme stuff that ok with our phone here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/themes-apps/theme-park-super-hero-t3386909 best place .
FOR ROOTED DEVICE
•Download and install a simply apk. Installation may take a 3-4 minutes as the're many sub-apk. Wait until you see in homescreen message "Installation complete"
•Move the file json from data/overlays/jsonfiles/triljson into userjson. It's always good to test theme while it is on trial version to see any problem with installation
•For MM delete preferences folder in data/overlays(after reboot your device (don'the worry the folder preferences it will be created after reboot)
•Apply theme
FOR NO ROOT DEVICE
•Download and install the theme a simply apk .installation may take 4/5 minutes . Once you see install complete in homescreen your good to go .
•First option app best you use on play store •EZRA PACKAGE DISABLER PRO $1.95
•After you go in (package disabled pro)for the custom themes on here locate it in Theme Center from your phone hit trial,then with PDP look for Theme store and them disable both that's it now it will stick,picture down.
enjoy

I MANAGED to fix it but your steps didn't really work, you also have to stop both apps because for some unholly reason the timer always came back until I accidentally greenified both apps now the timer is gone (I accidentally pressed the greenify shortcut on my home screen)

That's what I have been telling you to do since my first post. You have to disable both of the theme store applications using package disabler to get the theme to stay activated.
Thanks

I DID but they had a Background process running which shut the theme off even though both apps were disabled only when I force stopped with greenify and disabled the package did the timer go away
