Partial theme ? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods

Hi
I was wondering if there is a way to apply a theme without modifying the whole system ?
I mean on CM for example, we can choose if we want to apply this theme for icons, settings, etc...
I don't want to change the style of my Messages app or my icons, and every theme change everything...
If I just want to change the quick setting panel / notification panel and the settings without changing anything else, how can I do this ? Maybe with root or xposed ?
Thanks

On a ported ROM for note 3 I used to uninstall the custom icons of the theme using the titanium backup Pro and used unicon to apply custom icons from the play store.
Just delete the packages which you don't want to be applied using TTB.

Great I'll try this ! Thanks
EDIT : It works indeed : I can make sure the icons and the home menu won't change, but it still changes settings, quick setting panel and Messages apps. I'll try to decompile the theme apk and see if I can remove the code that changes the Messages apps

Hi, it is possible to do this without root by using the following command:
adb shell pm hide theme.name.appicon
Then restart and done.
Theme applied without icons.

I did not test. But in theory "NO". Because without root it will not be possible to mount and write to system partition.

[Q] Need help about SystemUI apk

Hi, I'm using HiSense EG680 bundled with Smartfren (local Indonesian CDMA operator) and I'm using a custom Rom created by a local dev
I need a help about the system UI apk and everything that is related with the status bar and the dialer app.
The dev has set a centered clock on the status bar and a mobile network speed indicator also on the status bar, that cannot be modified by gravitybox
The problem is I don't really like the centered clock and the speed indicator, and on the dialer app the dev has set an image that not everyone would like it as a dialer background. I want the clock to be moved back to the left side and the indicator removed, and the dialer background like the default. but I don't know how to done it as I'm not so familiar with the compile and decompile thing
I need someone to help me with the problem, By editing the apk and send it back to me. you can see The screenshot of The problem in the attachment, I will send the files that needed to you
Thanks in advance

It'll be better if you contacted the developer of that systemui apk to help you as he'll be able to help you better than anyone else. Also if u don't like the status bar or dialer u can change it by installing another one which u like.

Okay so I assume that u have the required apks. Just go to the thread linked in my signature and follow the lucky patcher method (point 1) to install ur status bar. As for the dialer, it can also be installed using the same method, just skip the uninstalling part (begin from step 6)

Your method ended up to "SystemUI has stopped working"
Well I have a systemUI.apk that doesn't match my custom rom I guess
But thank you Atishay

Hey I think I found the solution to your problem but you'll need to tell me if you made a backup before flashing the new rom ? And no, I'm not going to tell you to restore your previous rom. But before typing any further I'd like to know the answer to this.

I don't know how mtk backups are like, but I guess there must be a system.yaffs2.img file in the backup. Download smanager here and use it to open that file. Now go to system/app and copy the SystemUI apk and install it using that Lucky Patcher method. Hope this works.
Or i would just like to say, download custom status bar. There are many themers out there. Just google custom status bar for your device. I did the same.

Change OPT App Drawer Icon on Stock ROM

Hey guys and gals, I was sick of looking at the stock App Drawer Icon in the OPT's stock launcher so I changed it to one more appealing. If anyone wants a specific Icon to replace the stock one, just send it to me and I will modify the install script. I will attach a screenshot of the app drawer icon in action as well as the install script.
To install, just download the attached file, place file in your downloads directory and flash in recovery (after you create an nandroid backup). This will only change the app drawer icon.
Please let me know if you have any problems with the install or if the icon didn't install properly.
I got this icon from https://cdn-images.xda-developers.com/direct/1/9/6/2/3/1/3/AppDrawer.png
Thanks
CHANGE LOGS
.1 - Revert Back To Stock Icon script, to get the stock app drawer icon with out restoring from backup
.2 - Added New App Drawer Icon Never Settle (needs some fine tuning, quickly made via PhotoShop)
Wow looks great ! Thanks

How did you get iphone like mobile signal bar and carrier info in status bar? I am also looking for battery icon in status bar with % inside the battery.. can we change it
Look for an Xposed module called "Flat Style Bar Indicators". With this Xposed application, you have the ability to change all status bar indicators.

Hey @ripv2 , I was just curious as to how you achieve doing this? I am curious as I would like to bodge together my own way of doing this, so I am able to help further my knowledge of android programming.
Thanks.
This isn't really Android programming, I would suggest getting some experience with apktool first, to learn how to decompile and recompile and sign apks.

I have an icon that I would like to use, could you tell me where and how to put the icon

Any way to apply only part of a theme rather than whole thing?

Just wondering if its possible to just apply a part of a theme rather than the whole package? Like just the icons, or just the AOD?

Unfortunately, no. It's been this way since Samsung started offering themes, and so far no solution has been found
Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
On a ported ROM for note 3 I used to uninstall the custom icons of the theme using the titanium backup Pro and used unicon to apply custom icons from the play store.
See how u can work with this info for your own convenience.
There is a way but you must know how to use apktool and have knowledge of what goes where. If unpack a theme store theme you will be able to say swap the lockscreen apk for another themes.
Edge of insanity
You can in fact disable parts of themes if you have root. For example if you want to keep stock keyboard theme and everything else be black, you need to find the apk for that portion of the theme and delete it after the complete them has been installed and reboot. Freezing them won't work.
You can use this tutorial to find the part of the theme that you do not want to apply. Hope this helps.

You can replace the icons for any app inside a theme without root. I mean the ones which are already in such theme. You don't even need a PC!
I have just moved to the s7 edge and I am temporarily unrooted and it took me something like 5 minutes to figure how to do it lol!
Apk extractor plus apk editor (the second one is a paid app) and the trick is done. Just extract the theme you need and replace the icons inside with your favorite ones. Just remember that png files must be renamed to qmg (just renamed, not converted). Recompile and install. Apply another theme and then apply the one you have just modded, that's all!
Weird nobody has shared a guide yet. If any of you appreciates it, I can share a detailed how to.
Apk editor is not compulsory, but it is one of the few paid apps I bought.

Trial Theme Remover on S8/S8+

Hi guys its Codex better known as Alpha_Killer previously Known as Network_Delta[emoji14]We have known that yet there is no method to get rid of trial themes on S8/S8+ unless we Disable ThemeCenter .apk or Rename it from Themecenter.apk to Themecenter.apk.bak which will disable themes ... well today it will change i have been wanting to crack the this theme thing and i think i finally did it.. Method is given below:
<Mod Edit>
Now get into Theme Center you should be able to change your wallpapers, icons, aods and themes but a drawback your trial theme wont appear in the themes Area but the fact remains you got your theme applied and can change wallpapers etc.
Its better than having the Theme Center disabled right??
This method has been tested by a bunch of people and confirmed working....

Lol. He really thinks he cracked something. Have one better for him. Instead of renaming to bak. He could have just cut and paste from trial json to user folder and reboot. So he would have access to the themes at will. He only can't update them cause of course they haven't been paid for. People have been doing this since the themes started few years back.
Same principle for icon trials

any way to do it without root? Theme killer did it for a while but I forget how they did.
Without root
1. . Goto https://seap.samsung.com/license-keys/how-to
2. Sign in with your Samsung account as developer
3. Generate Standard Knox SDK key (Enterprise License Management)
4. Install ThemeControl app (APK file will be in sdcard/themeGalaxy)
4. Enable Device admin rights to the app
5. Enter your key and activate the Knox SDK ELM License

Once after you disabled the packages, if you install new theme/reboot the device The theme center service may get start. So when it does, enable and disable the theme store again.

Hello everyone.
This is a bit off topic question, but since U guys seem to know what to do with json files, does anyone maybe know how can I remove a theme from samsung keyboard?
I've been willing to do this because I like black themes but I don't want my keyboard to be black.
My phone is rooted.
Can't open theme its crashing...
Any idea....?

To remove a theme from the keyboard you need to remove or rename the apk that ends with inputlanguage.apk from the folder data/overlays/currentstyle you may replace the theme with another on just the keyboard if you put another themes *inputlanguage.apk into the currentstyle folder and rename it the same as the original you just replaced. Then reboot. I've attached a couple of images showing renaming the original apk then rebooting and you can see i am back to stock keyboard

How to apply themes on Mi Pad 4 tablet (kinda...)

So I've been trying to get some different look for my recently acquired Mi pad 4 tablet, only to find out that there's no official way how to use the theme store feature. That is on the latest BETA xiaomi.eu rom (not sure if there's Mi Theme Store enabled on chinese global version). Anyway, after some browsing and trial & error I managed to achieve a partial success. This approach isn't new (as I can imagine), but here we go:
1) Download the following app from google Playstore:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sid.soepic.mythemer
Please note, this is still in beta, for example when I tried to apply several themes, they're listed under the same name, in other words they don't refresh in the list. It's a bug, but no a major one, if you ask me.
2) Visit the following website:
https://miuithemes.tk/
There's a good choice of darker themes, pick one you like the most. Please note that you must download the theme with .mtz file format. Initially they download as .zip files, so you have to rename them in your file manager to .mtz format. After that just use My Themer for MIUI app from step 1 and follow the instructions.
3) Since the mi Pad is a tablet, it's not fully optimised with any existing darker third party theme to this date (correct if I'm wrong!). I was able to install some themes that change the status bar to darker theme, wallpaper and lock screen changes as well. But for example the Settings detail section remains white/original/unchanged. If there's a way - official or rather unofficial - how to FULLY apply any DARKER theme to Mi Pad 4 tablet including further system settings, I'll be more than happy to hear about it
P.S.: I've applied this procedure of theme use on Mi Pad 4 that is rooted. But I can imagine it should work on unrooted devices as well.
or you can use nova launcher, under widget for custom activities, and find theme app.

Appreciate the comment, however this approach doesn't work, because the moment when I want to apply any third party theme with .mtz file format, a following message pops up:
Themes from third-party sources are not supported. error: download|auth rejected -99.
With the My Themer MIUI app from Playstore I was able to install third party themes with no problem.
Thanks for the tip though:good:
Themes from Xioami do not work in Europe anymore because of the GDPR. They just removed the functionality in Europe.

If your device is rooted, you can change the fonts easily using TWRP to flash the zip file. I chose a custom font from this source:
