Tired of having crappy icons, but I want the default theme.
So I need to locate the Theme and extract it so I can throw some icons into a .hwt with the default theme.
Have it rooted but cannot find the default themes in emui5 honor 8.
Cheers.

Hi,
if you want to extract the theme selected in theme's apk
Go to \data\theme\0
Copy/past all the folder
Now you'll be able to edit the theme ( I'm on FRD-AL00 but it's probably the same on other devices )

Themes for other Roms will not work for this rom. The apks that the themes replace are different than ours. if you do attempt to flash a theme from another ROM youre phone will probably end up in a boot loop.
To theme
You will need to copy these apps from /system/app folder in phone or from downloaded rom:
Settings.apk
Phone.apk
Contacts.apk
SystemUI.apk
Framework-res.apk from /system/framework
Rename the app youre wanting to theme from .apk to .apk.zip
extract the res folder to a folder anywhere with 7zip(Leave this window open)
change the icons you want in each folder(Usually hdpi and xhdpi folders except for systemui)(make sure to keep same name and size of original icon)
select all icons in the folder you are working in and simply drag and drop icons to same folder in 7zip window replacing old icons
rename .apk.zip back to .apk
push to phone via adb or make update and flash with cwm
if you did the steps correctly you will have themed an app.
Be careful with the .9 images resizing or messing with them can cause them to not display correctly
I use gimp to mod icons.
Im working on a theme myself now. Only thing that gets me is Pantech and AT&T have added alot of icons that are masking the original icons for ICS that are in the apks as well. So there is alot of modding to do to make a full theme for this ROM.

Is it possible to integrate something like the Theme Chooser(available on CM10 and AOKP) on your rom?
so that there is a direct compatibility with other CM10 themes?

Im sure its possible. and yes it is possible to port the themes to our phone. Atleast some of them. You would have to rewrite some of the smali files in the .apk's and .jar files and make a few other changes that will make the apps run on our phone. Thats what Im trying to do now

The only thing i miss about your awesome Ice Flex Rom is the theme-ing capability
theme-ing and customizations are my reasons to choose android over windows Phone
there are just so many awesome flashable Themes available for CM10, its a shame that great phone like Flex can't be themed yet

i am currently trying to read up on android basics and see what i can do myself to help you :good:
*Dont you hate when you like a theme but hate the icons!!! I will give you a simple guide to download the theme you want and keep your stock icons
~Keep your stock icons for any theme~
*ROOTED REQUIRED*
*Please read complete guide*
*Make sure you are not using the theme you are applying this to! Apply a different theme while your editing this file!
1. Using a file explorer, go to data/overlays/jsonfiles/userjson and find the theme you want to keep stock icons!
2. Open file and hit the edit button! Look for this line a little ways down:
"appicon":"com.cambunch.ThemeName.appicon",
and delete it! Save file and reboot!
3. Now you can go to theme store and apply that theme and have stock icons
***Also see post #10 for another simple guide thanks to @SICKMADE***
***This should work for any theme in userjson file, just follow same steps and remember to save and reboot before you apply theme!!!
***JUST HIT THANKS IF YOU THINK THIS IS FRICKIN AWESOME***
Screen shots of files and before and after:
Note 5 have to be root or not to work ??
Yes, because you will have to use a root file explorer! ES FILE Explorer etc.
Good work[emoji106] [emoji106]

Which one? Part 1 or 2?
If icons didnt stay stock, go back to the file you deleted the line and make sure it saved with that line deleted! It did that for me and when i went back and checked file, the line was still there and i re- deleted it, made sure i saved file and rebooted and it worked!

Hmmm, it works for me! Deleted that appicon line, saved then rebooted, applied theme and i have stock icons! Ive tried it on a few themes and all have worked!
Make sure that you do not have that theme currently applied! Apply another theme then go back and apply theme that you did that for!
All you have to do if you don't like any paticular part of a sammy theme is install a root file manager... I use root browser but what ever you choose as long as it uses root is fine... then once opened file manager navigate to the data/app folder. Here you will find every apk and or sammy theme that you have installed onto your device. Simply scroll down until you find the specific group of folders for which ever theme your wanting to remove a paticular part of ex. Accuweather, App Icons, etc. Once you've located the file you don't want to use with the theme anymore like the icons "themename.appicon-1" simply delete the folder and reboot and badaboom stock icons are back! I hope that made some sense lol
This is the best Thread ever !!! I always wanted this, thanks alot !!! Very Helpful

Yes you can.. I have just tried using a keyboard theme I like on different theme by just copy pasting corresponding lines from one to another.
This also allows you to change your icons to anything you want using the galaxy icon themer app in play store

Hello again everybody!
So today I have a way for you to modify themes that are from official samsung theme Store, the method is hard and it does take a lot of time so bare with me.
First of all you will need a rooted device, obviously lol
Also you will need to have, root explorer and xploer. Now for the stepes:
1- Open root explorer and go to Data > App
2- You will see many many folders for the theme, in my case I will modify something in the home screen so the folder should have your theme name and then home and the end like this ( minuhome.FranceParis.home-1 )
3- Open the folder you will find an apk called base.apk
3- copy that apk and paste To somewhere else
4- Open explore and find the copied Base.apk
5- modify the things you want, for an example I changed the folder Look, I took a folder icon, renamed it To .qmg instead of .jpg then renamed that icon exactly like the folder icon For the theme, then deleted That old One and replaced it with the new one. ( do the same with any icon you want in any base.apk)
6- Open root explorer, take the new modified base.apk and replace it with the old one, set permissions And then reboot.
If it didn't work On the first time then apply the theme then apply another theme And then apply the theme again.
This may not be the best way, but it's the only way to modify them so far.
Do not copy my method on any place without my permission!! Thank you.
Hit Thanks if you liked it!

Go to the same place, find a folder named your theme and then wallpaper like this ( minuhome.FranceParis.wallpaper ) you will find an apk inside called base.apk go inside, then go inside res And then you will find 3 wallpapers, one for homescreen one for lockscreen, one for Sview cover.
I know that as I have done that Before. ..But what about the settings page,contacts page And other pages wallpaper...How to change them...bcoz for changing wallpapers of homescreen,lockscreen and s-view we don't have to modify an apk we can simply change it Through settings...

You will find other folders but instead of having wallpaper at the end, you will see contacts, settings, home...etc

Hello MrHollywood, looks like no one has posted here for a while but I'll give it a shot and hope for a reply/help. Your instructions are great, I've been wanting to know how to do this since my Galaxy S6.....I'm now onto an S8, rooted and rockin' an altered theme thanks to you! I have been able to use another themes icon pack with success, however when I use another theme's "InCallUI" (accept, reject, hangup icons in phone dialer) I cannot get them to stick. They will stay for a duration then default back to the Samsung goofy cartoon icons. I know that restarting phone triggers the reset but it also randomly triggers without restart. I can get them back by applying another theme then re-applying my theme....but a bit of a pain to have to do everytime!
What I have done, as per your instructions, is taken the "InCallUI.apk" out of theme's "base.apk", edited it and replaced. I have also placed that same edited InCallUI.apk into; Data > Overlays > Style > mytheme folder, then changed permissions to "rwx r-- r-w". I use these permission because all the other apk's in this folder use them.
Any advise or corrections in what I'm doing would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

I found a Theme Font Pack wich include a type of font that when you apply it change ALL the fonts on you phone.
I found it here https://huaweiemuithemes.blogspot.com/2016/06/pack-of-12-awesome-fontsmarshmallow.html
steps.
1.download them (if they are named as .bin rename it to .hwt)
2. move to HWThemes
3.go to themes app
4. choose the one of the previous "Theme Font Pack" and apply it.
Ps. for better results just rebot, sometimes it doesn't aply completly
good luck

This is impossible as numerous apps have their own font embedded in the apk. You will have to change that as well if you want a "true" system-wide font.
I do this with the Dropbox app for example as this app contains a stock Roboto font, whatever other font you install for the system it will by default use Roboto, unless changed to something else :good:
You saved my a*ss, than you!!

This is very nice theme with some modifications. As I see the original creator is "Aniket". It have also nice lockscreen, icons from huawei honor v10 and ui similar to ios11. download zip & extract it.
just copied theme file .HWT to /system/theme. set permission rw-r-r. after that its available in theme manager.
