Anyone willing to make a theme for the S8? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Recently my friends and I (all S8 owners) were going into the black style to save battery. We were looking for a theme that simply made the native apps black without changing the way the app looks at all (black instead of green on the phone icon but keeping the new S8 look). I don't know if Samsung doesn't allow people to make themes based off their SamsungExperience design, but I've consulted many people who would like to see this theme for the phone but it simply doesn't exist, and I do not have a computer capable of running any of the required software to make a theme (not to mention I have nill as far as experience in this). I was wondering if anyone would be willing to make a theme like this.

This might be what you are looking for.

LineKill posted this in his "icon packs that go on sale" thread. Is this what you are all looking for?

If you want somewhere to start, take a look at this thread. There are different mods all through the thread, not just in the OP.

I'm using a dark theme from the theme store, pixel nav bar, red with dark notifications and no battery in the status bar. No root needed, just install the apk and reboot, if you don't like uninstall through settings and reboot.

Always On Display Themes

Hi Everyone! just received my new Galaxy S7 and as always trying to learn everything about it before i brick it!
So i've been messing with the always on display themes and for the moment all i could find are 5 new themes in the Samsung theme store.
I wanted to know what options do we have to manually change the AOD and to create our own theme..
Also location of files and resolutions would be nice if anyone knows!
Where did you find the always on display themes?

The Theme store has a banner for Always On Display. It seems to be anice actual theme that also themes the AoD.

goto settings then top right Themes then more themes and from yesterday there is a sectioin "Always brighten your style with AOD" themes.. it changes all the phones theme but you can go back to the one you had and keep just the aod theme.
Anyone figure this out yet? I would love to pick my own image.
does anyone know how to add other "alerts" to the AOD screen? ie i would want to know if i had a number of hangouts messages or work emails. It only really tells you about missed call numbers and new sms (i mean who uses SMS these days unless it is to strangers or old people who don't understand hangouts??)

Looks like only Samsung's Phone, Messages, and Calendar notifications are available. For example, I like Google Messenger, but since SMS/MMS notifications don't make it to the AoD, I'm stuck with Samsung's Messages app (which looks nice actually).

I'd be interested in creating a dual clock, calender, & advanced notifications aod; how does one get started making android/ Samsung themes?
I want to keep my current theme and use the AOD from another theme. Has anyone figure this out yet?
i have only 6 AOD themes on the store. It whould be awesome if we can find more. And btw is this a feature that only s7 has ? If there is AOD mod for other phones mabe we can find themes from what they use ?
Functionality extensions would be better than almost useless themes.
i don't find the aod theme , maybe there aren't in france
Interested in creating themes?

You can just search "Samsung theme development" on Google and it should be the first site on the list. http://developer.samsung.com/theme-service
You have to apply, which entails getting Samsungs approval by phone and probably sharing anything they deem worthy of their own app store in terms of revenue. I don't think it's as easy as pie if that's what your hoping but I'd love to be wrong because Aod needs some work and it would be welcomed! I did some reading tho and it can be done if your driven to do so, I looked all this up as I wanted to create my own themes instead of waiting for what I may not find to come along. Looks like they have their own sdk you use and more info can be found at the link I provided. Cheers!

[THEME] terpsichora_N (S8 spoiler)

"new OP (still WIP)
theme got updated to support nougat, now with S8 influence.
PLEASE REMOVE COMPLETELY OLD VERSION IF YOU HAVE ANY BEFORE INSTALLING THIS. The newest version is "0terpsichora_N_RC3. apk" and "0terpsichora_N_RC3_lightnotif"
PLEASE INSTALL ONLY ONE, you cannot install both at the same time. If your rooted and have means to change title text color on notification or just can bear with the dark one use the ..RC3.apk, if you're not rooted and want a bugless theme use the ..RC3_lightnotif.apk one.
*
Still bugged (dark colored on 3rd party apps) notification title text (need help on this, or ask rom developers to support dark notification template on their ROMs) please report any miscolored, bugs or give bright ideas to improve this. thanks for using, enjoy and please atleast let me know if you kang any part of this theme.
INSTALLATION for rooted devices (you should do all this before 5min trial ends) :
-install and apply theme
-go fast to your root file manager and navigate:
-root/data/overlays/preferences folder
-delete all its contents (7files) not the actual preferences folder.
-then navigate to:
-root/data/overlays/jsonfiles
-from there, CUT and paste the contents (1file) of trialjson folder to inside of userjson folder.
-restart phone and reapply theme.
reserve for Q/A
Nice keep up the good work mate, will test this bad boy and post feedback later..

Very well made theme, liked everything especially the tinted backdrop in settings and keyboard. Just had a question of the icon size. They ate too big and look very old style or Android Kitkat style. Wish they were a bit smaller and sleek. Thank you

those icons are Grace UX icons mate, I just reduced the roundness of the original. as for the sizes yeah I think it's kinda big if you use 4x4 grid on homescreen try to use 5x5 and see.. (thanks for input, I will try with smaller icons for system apps and the rest and make an update )
Wowww beautiful thank you
Can you fix the bugs and make more themes like these? Btw i think the blue sym, smiley, enter and back button on the keyboard isn't that nice. Can you make it grey. And the keyboard swipe color too
Thanx
Oh and the blue quick toggles too. I think the blue that is used in this theme isn't very nice. Gray will b much nice o white
only for root!
The theme is only for those with root devices?

nope there is a way for non rooted devices, but I won't tell how to do it, there's a lot of tutorials on this forum already.

guys be sure to restart after applying the theme as there are assets that can only be seen ones the Theme applied fully loaded. I try to include dynamic icons on the clock but it's only semi dynamic (it changes only if the home screen refreshes/restarted)
**and also if someone can post a proper screenshots for this I'll be glad.

mate i do not need to tell me how, thanks for your hard work.....you will be great if you can save the theme in wqhd and not fhd resolution!!!!!
Great theme but it is a shame to have to use a 3rd party unknown chinese app that needs to have total control of your device just to run the theme. I really liked the theme but any app like package disabler asking for such permissions is beyond my security concerns. Thank you a lot for the theme, truly a great piece.
I'm having an issue with theme being in trial mode, can only use it for 5 minutes.
By the way, really nice theme, I love it!

I made the Theme even before the Theme Editor is released so I just used the Olympic theme as my base, that one having a fhd resolution only. I tried to migrate my work to the Theme editor and try the wqhd resolution but it looks weird, so I just go with the fhd again sorry.

that's also a bummer, I got rejected as a theme designer @samsung So no chance that you will see this theme on the Store. unless you root your device you have to go with that disabler app if you like to use this.

cant do it on the theme editor so unpack/decompile the theme apk bro, look on assests folder, the one apk with ..aodservice in it, also unpack it. compare yours with mine to modify to your liking, then on your aodservice apk look to the values folder and edit your public.xml delete all id's. just repack/recompile your aodservice apk and put it again on your theme package. then recompile your theme package and sign it. (seems complicated if your not familiar with old school themeing, but if you know what I'm talking about, its very easy )
I was wondering why you did not theme in call ui??

I totally forgot about that,Ö I think there's a bug on the editor that you released because on the output apk, when I inspect it there is no ..inCallui on the asset folder.. I'll fix it, give me time, I'll make it great with note7 icons also on the next update with smaller icons and camera Ala note 7.
*and I think we are really getting near on receiving Grace UX, because that theme editor has so much stuff from Grace UX. little by little they're removing stuff from old touchwiz.

I'm just curious l can you post a screenshot with big icons you're talking about? because it's just the default sizes. I just reduced the roundness of the original grace icons (even with the 3rd party apps)
Nice theme! One of the best I've tried. Keep up the good work!
Edit: moving files from trialson to userson doesn't seem to work for this theme, it remains trial and after 5 minutes I can't use it. Someone with a solution to this maybe? TIA

updated to Oreo, menus now white, how do i get them dark again?

It seems they are now inverted from before the update. When I hit invert, the menus look correct, but the rest of the stuff is messed up, so that doesn't work.
How can I get my dark menus back without ruining the colors of everything else?
To clarify, I'm referring to the menus in settings and when I swipe down from the home screen.
Google pixel, Android 8.0, stock

yeah, that's Oreo's default theme. Lots of white. So what you are seeing is entirely expected and normal.... inverting the colors affects everything...
If you want to theme Oreo, you can do so, but you will need to be routed and install 'substratum' found in the play store... Oreo supports theming, but I think for now, you must be rooted (although, last I heard there should be a paid app available soon that doesn't require root)...
Also, there are lots of Oreo compatible themes for substratum, available in the play store.... I'm using a dark / pure black theme. Love it.
Good luck
You can try Substratum and Swift Dark/Black Theme
I still have this problem. It would be nice if Textra fixed the issue. If you go to Customize Look -> Screen Color -> Light, then the menu appears white with dark text.
But if you choose Dark or Black, then it's white with very light text.
Why can't Google just provide a setting to let us to choose either a light or a dark background for the menus? I don't want to root and I'm not going to buy a theme app. I don't want to "theme" anything else. I just want a toggle to choose either light grey or dark grey settings screens. Simple enough.

I'm sure they will down the line. theming/OMS is still very new in AOSP and stock Oreo and AFAIK, they are still ironing out support and their own dark theme...
if you don't want to root or pay a Buck or two to a hard working theme developer, than you are S.O.L.
If it is simple enough, feel free to write the supporting code and contribute to AOSP.... complaining in am XDA forum isn't going to make that support appear for u.

It's back on 8.1. If you have a black wallpaper it will detect this and theme everything dark. Download the developer image from Google. You can root it too, with a working SUhide.

My settings menu didn't go dark. Just the Google App and the notification pane. And Swift Dark is not quite there yet on 8.1
Oreo update HORRIBLE, knew in 2 seconds I would hate it when my notifications section turned to white background (you suck google) then noticed all kinds of thinks I didn't like. Apple updates made my phone worse EVERYTIME and now google is doing that. Simple stuff like changing background colors GONE and worthless stuff added to hug up the phone. Had my Moto for 3 weeks, first 2 weeks liked it, updated to moto oreo and now DON't like it anymore. I just wanted security patches not my OS screwed and ALL my setting gone, and why is this clock showing up again. all my setting which took forever to figure out and now reset back to what i didn't like, then add the horrible WHITE background garbage like the notoication window. I didn't want my nice UI screwed up. So I learned that like APPLE every Andriod update will be worse TOO. sad, don't like my new phone anymore, thanks for updating it to GARBAGE.

Hey!
I will pay! I will pay a developer! What apps do this?! I will buy them in a heartbeat. I am just as frustrated as OP and some other posters in this thread.
I AM NOT ROOTED ON AN HTC 10.
I spent all morning on a deep dive in the Play Store tinkering and installing several apps, and none of them addressed the actual issue of allowing the user to choose the color of the notification shade. I can't stand the white either.
Please help.
Andromeda, it's on the app store and also probably easy to find on here. Sorry I don't have a link at the moment, I'm on mobile. But the app is about 2 dollars and works great on my Moto z2 force.
Keep in mind you will need a laptop and some basic knowledge of turning on usb debugging in developer settings. It will need to be a Linux/Mac/Windows computer. Chromebooks are not supported as far as I know at this point.
See the xda thread for more details. Find it by looking up "Andromeda xda" on your favorite search engine of choice.

I went through that whole process this morning also. I kept getting a "run shell script" error with my Mac. It's real frustrating. I didn't want to do it, but I gave it my best shot, and I followed all the videos and directions, but no one knows what to do if "run shell script" error comes up.
Didn't work out I guess. But I gave it a shot. Still is so much to do just for the option to make an eff-ing black notification shade.

I have a few I've used that are unmistakably dark.
I think the reason is because I use Nova Prime as my launcher, so the themes aren't going to pick up on that and thus change the color of the notification shade.
Yes I too I'm pissed off at this new Oreo white look I like the look of my old build WTF why can't Google give us a choice why can't we theme just the God damn color I'm really pissed off now.
I'm so pissed off as well, can't get menus and title bars or even pop-up menus to be black. It was fine back on nougat 7.0
Now it's all white
I dont mind the Oreo update but like so many I hate hate hateeeeeeee the stupid status bar, its white. I wish they allowed up to change the color on the status bar like we can for the AOD clock. I have a background of nature and the sun is up there and I cannot read the clock, battery, connection status etc because its invisible on the wallpaper and I have a theme. I tried to use Andromada but it looks so confusing to use and you have to pay for it and the feedback from the public is bad
**** google for this. YOU HEAR ME??? **** YOU GOOGLE! YOU SUCK! FORCING WHITE BACKGROUND SCREENS ON US! MY EYES HURT... I"M GONNA CONTACT MY LAWYER!!

Plug in Charging animation

Hi all,
I was wondering if there was a way to change the plugin charging animation (while the phone is on)? Does anyone know where in the root directory it is? Are there premade animations in a thread that I have missed?
Just in case I havent explained myself clearly, the video in the OP of the forum link below shows what i'm talking about.

Animation for when you plug device in and when using wireless charging can be changed via Samsung theme. Custom made obviously, not anything that can be obtained from the theme store.

Sorry, if i'm missing something here, but what do you mean by "can be changed via Samsung theme" even though nothing can be obtained from the theme store? So where can I find custom animations (directory in phone and XDA thread?)?

Themes obtained through Samsung theme store do not modify any of those types of elements, you will only find custom themes do this. Of which you can find with a little searching here in xda and other sites. BoCaTRoM, Eladios, Venom, and many others have great themes.
Now to more directly answer your original question, if you have an animation in qmg format or all png images you want to use for charging animation then you can take a theme you like and add it to drawable folder inside lock.apk within theme container file. Yoblue theme here on xda has a similar effect you might like for charging animations.
O if you have a theme you're using and want to add this then send it to me and I can modify for you.

Yeah, the themes are nice, but I like my theme to be simpler than alot of them. The one I currently use is [minu] Baby Red from the theme store and I'm very happy with it. I literally just want to make the charging animation red instead of blue. How would I find the apk file to send if its from the theme store?
While I'm on the topic of themes, is there a way to make the icons that come with a theme become the icons of an icon pack that I use (both form theme store - I use the "pixel matte" theme with frames version)? Simply to save time when I test other themes.
Thanks heaps for your help

At one time you could extract themes via apk extractor but that is no longer possible. There is a tool that will allow you to use specific elements of a theme but that's only for rooted devices. If it is from theme store you can likely find that icon pack itself there but if not you'd have to find someone who can get the theme apk itself and extract app icons apk.
I wasn't able to find that theme online like many others but I'll look a few other places an see what I can do. Just to clarify are you are talking about battery icon at top right or the animation that comes up briefly when you first plug device in/set on wireless charger?
If it's the first then that's super easy and that overlay already exists. If it's not then I'll put together something you can install that might work for you.

I just checked the theme store to make sure they were there:
Theme: [MINU] Baby RedBlack
Icons: Pixel Matte w/ backgrounds (w/BG in some labels) - It's a paid one - but I'm sure you would know how to get round that
(having the icons that I use as part of the theme would be convenient for me too)
To clarify, I'm talking about the ripple/ shockwave that comes out of the bottom of the phone when I plug in. I wanted to make it red. Maybe a solid material red expanding semicircle could be cool? (dont know how much one can actually change this)
If you could put something together for me that would be awesome. . But no rush or stress if you dont have time, too much effort etc. we both know its something quite minor haha. Just thought it would be a cool touch to my red and black theme on my phone. Just attached a few screenshots of my theming so you can see why I think a red animation would be cool, also to help find shade of red.
Thanks for you help

Dark theme - when?

Hey,
Is Samsung going to share with us dark theme? I'd like use it to minimize battery drain. I've seen some custom dark themes, but they does not look good plus they have ugly icon pack.
Have you tried theme Galaxy - Theme Maker for Samsung Galaxy? It available in Play Store. It's like DIY theming, means; you make your theme by yourself. It's free too. I'm using it, it's fantastic.

I do not know how to use this app. I can't do anything there. It's more like tutorial.

It's user friendly. Just install the app, run it, and select the colors then build and apply. There's a thread here about it.
@DuncaneD
Well, it does not work for me. Tbh I want native dark theme from system. That's why I ask if you know if we will receive that in the future.
Or if you could show me how does your theme look.
