I installed CM9 and latest Gapps followed by Dark infinitum theme. When i rebooted, I couldn't find android keyboard and phone app. I restored Android keyboard from titanium backup. Phone app is showing in installed apps but its not to be seen in app drawer and the shortcut says app not installed
flash rom -> flash theme -> flash gaps
Go to thread of that theme. It is a known issue. Long story short remove the phone.apk from the zip
Is it possible to find the location where the OPO themes are stored? I'm on a rooted device
Just go to Play Store and you will find loads of themes.
I'm trying to extract a particular theme that I think came installed with my custom ROM, Ehndroix V. I may be wrong, since I didn't check the themes when I first got the phone
Dear friends, for those who are on Nougat we all know how frustrating it can be to have to reapply a custom theme everytime after reboot. If you only want one theme installed and ready for use, instruction set (A) - which is similar to what you can find on most theme threads - is good enough. For those want to have multiple themes installed to be switched at will and stick after reboot, Set (B) is for you.
Instructions for rooted devices only.
(A) To install a single custom theme:
1. Download and install theme1.apk
2. Download and install Solid Explorer or any file manager with root access.
3. Navigate to Root/data/overlays.
4.Open preferences folder and delete all files.
5.Open trialjson folder, cut and paste theme1.json in userjson folder.
6. Reboot device.
7.Apply theme1 in Samsung Themes.
(B) To add multiple custom themes (rinse and repeat):
8. Repeat steps 1-6
9. Open Samsung Themes.
10. Reapply theme1 (currently in use)
11. Apply new theme2
12. Reboot and confirm (optional)
In pictures,
Screenshot A - reboot after theme2 installed.
Screenshot B - theme1 reapplied.
Screenshot C - reboot after theme3 installed.
Screenshot D - theme2 reapplied.
You would have noticed by now whenever you reboot the device right after installing a new theme (from theme2 onwards), Samsung default theme is auto-selected (bug issue?).
All said and done, please try and let me know if it works for you
Tested on Helios 7.5.1 this time...The collection grows...
Just for clarification, let's say I will be installing 3 themes from @vukandric, do I have to install them 1 by 1 then do the process after each installation, or I can install them all together, then do the process? And do I have to be in the default theme to apply the non store theme?

No dice at mine, mate. Installed AGold2 and won't stick. Don't know what might be the problem. Running SuperMan-Rom v2.1
@MitoTakatori, what I did was to install each theme one by one. After that, I do not have to do anything further. I just need to apply whatever theme I want w/o any worries.
Did you reapply existing theme before applying new theme? It's a 2-step after reboot.

You mean reapply the theme I was on before I installed another? If that's it, yes I did reapply. So after installing theme1.apk, doing the steps you mention, then install theme2.apk, steps again?

As per checking, it seems that the default theme is being loaded after every reboot by an unknown script/command. As in userjson folder, it is the one with the latest date. It maybe due to the ROM I am using though. Gonna check it with @Tkkg1994

For theme2.apk, do exactly the same as you did for theme1.apk, which is to install, delete/move files and reboot. After reboot, reapply theme1 BEFORE applying theme2. Likewise for theme3, reapply theme 2 before applying theme3.

Default theme being loaded after every reboot happens to me on Helios rom too. Reapply current theme first, then apply new theme straight away. It appears to be a Nougat bug or changes to Theme editor, not a rom-specific one.
Edit: Gonna try the same on MM. This may not only be affecting Nougat.

I see. This makes it clearer. So in DQB7, the bug or whatever it is, is still there. Thanks for the guide mate. Gonna try again from start, I will be deleting all 3rd party themes first. :good:

It's still there, and imo whatever it is, it points to the theme editor. Whether intentional or not, anybody's guess. The best way to clear everything is to delete entire root/data/overlays folder, then check and delete all remaining theme folders inside root/data/apps. With TiBU, I simply uninstalled all theme apks and related files.

Samsung sucked the hump again with the themes. Anyways if some good soul manage to get the latest theme editor exe and shared it here, we will be having no problems with it.
I just uninstalled using TiBu. Thanks for the help mate! :good:

I don't know how to solve it now but, followed every step, uninstalled/reinstalled 3rd party themes, repeat everything; still no theme sticking after boot. It's really ticking me off now. I don't know what causes it! All theme from store applies well, sticks after boot, but NOT any 3rd party ones. I already reported something on SuperMan-Rom thread just to make an appeal to my good friend Luca. Any news on any other ROM having this severe issue?

I have not tested on Superman (perhaps I will). Only just did the same for my other phone - Note 5 (Nemesis Nougat S7E port v2.5.1) and it works.

I think this will be sorted on next SuperMan Rom release, as I already reported it. Luca is one hell of a great dev. So now sticking on Samsung store themes. Bummer.
You saved my days..thanks alot...the secret is that you have to apply the new theme and then reapply it once again...then reboot ....works great
Mate where are the links?

No, you dun have to download anything. Just follow the steps (for multiple themes) in OP.
its not a bug, you delete all the files inside "preferences" folder and reboot that's why your system thinks you're on the default theme, just re-apply your theme even though you think you're already using it.
Simple instruction for multiple custom themes (theory) :
-download and install all your custom themes (don't apply yet and wait for the toast notification "installation complete" on each theme)
-just apply one of any themes you install.
-before your 5min trial expires move fast and delete all files inside preferences folder and transfer (CUT & paste) ALL the .json files inside trialjson folder to userjson folder and reboot.
-re/apply any of the themes you install.
I have the US version of mate 9. It's running on stock but I did unlock the bootloader and rooted it. I recall that even before unlocking the bootloader, the themes were only local. How do I fix that? I am on T-Mobile service. Thanks
I found the same thing. I downloaded this one for themes and once downloaded they appear in the Stock Themes App.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.deishelon.lab.thememanager
After installing the app, I was able to install new themes but I still did not get anything but local themes. The new themes that I downloaded showed up in the local themed section so I was able to install them. I still don't see that 'me' icon on the top. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll use it as a workaround for now.
