A problem applying a theme

Hi,
I've been trying to apply a new theme on my OPO, and everything works great except the quick settings background, which keeps being all-black.
It happens with all kind of themes.
I have the latest version of blisspop rom so far (V3.9 30.8).
When I did a full wipe and re-flashed the rom the problem was solved, but I don't want to lose all my data and start all over again..
So I assume the source of the problem maybe some data or wrong setting optimizations.
the rom's white/dark theme option doesn't change the problem.
I also have Xposed installed on my device, if that affects somehow....
Please help!

COS 13 problem using theme chooser

Hi all!
I have a problem with the theme-chooser in COS 13, whenever I try to switch themes now, trebuchet crashes :/
I'm currently on the standard theme (not the hexo theme) switching from the hexo theme to this worked fine, but switching back doesn't work at all...

Same issue, with Nova Launcher too.
The problem seems to be with icons set: whenever I try to change system icons from System Theme set, to another, Launcher goes in FC loop.

Tried it now, no succes

Same problem here..

Same problem, even custom fonts are not loading properly, can anyone zip me cos13 fonts from root explorer and send me

its too much buggy,,and random crashes makes device to do a force reboot!!!

clean FastBoot flashed this rom with Stock COS recovery. no issue at all, except theme chooser lag when swiping left/right. but that is fine with me.

Today Cyanogen released a new OTA that solves some issues.
The theme-chooser issue is now solved.

Help! Mate 8 theme not working after ROM wipe and install

Hi
I have installed c636b121 stock rom after unlocking bootloader and installing twrp recovery.
But I did complete wipe including all internal storage,sys and caches.
The new ROM is working fine but I lost the theme functionality.
I have only stock android icons ,no default huawei gold or specturm or ink themes and applying new theme is not woking. Also lost health app.
But mainly I need the themes back. I downloaded many hwt files and none working. When I apply theme it says applied successfully but nothing happens. Even font not getting applied.
I tried installing different Roms via twrp and software upgrade by *#*#2846579#*#* and also by pressing volume +,- and power. Nothing fix the issue even though ROM get installed successfully
Please help.!!!!!!. I will attach he screenshots shortly

Thank you very much blueheart, i rooted phone again and installed the themes via utility. It worked:good::good:

Just a question my friend. Do you also miss the option "notification wake up my phone" ? And finally, if I run the option in SRK, it will delete everything on my phone ? I didn't like to lose my data

Using srk utilities to restore theme wont wipe any data.
It will just load the defaut theme files in /data/hw_init/themes but you need root
And i dont know what you mean by notification to wake up phone. Where can i check that

hi
i have same problem , now i downloading the tool i hope can fix my problem
=> notification to wake up phone means "secreen lock & password \ other \ notification turn on screen" is missing , can tool fix this ??

I am using NXT L29C900B180 is there a way to fix themes without root? I am using the stock rom and didn't make any root before it just the themes is working with only the default ones but doesn't show downloadable themes like it used to be.

S7 Olympic edition theme

Hi,
I have been trying to purchase this theme but paid themes are not available in my country. I then resorted to sideloading the theme by installing the trial version and using package disabler pro but it doesn't seem to work anymore. Help me! I really like the theme.

Try this . Install the theme. Go into priv-app, theme setting . Rename themesetting.apk to themesetting.bak restart your phone before your trail end ... you will need to be rooted and have some type of rooted file explorer for this to work...

Too bad I am not rooted but thanks anyways.

After you applied the theme , you need to clear data application of theme ( Applications->show application system->theme->clear data ) after that you need to disable theme store with package disabler.
You need to do the same steps when you reboot the phone.
Hope it works,
Sorry for bad english.

I got stuck on this as well. What worked for me was, after disabling the theme store service, make sure you kill the running instance of it. Go into settings app manager and find the themes services and kill what's running before it rolls back your theme. Make sure you disable/freeze the service first then kill the running instance.

How to make multiple non-store themes stick after reboot.

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?
---------- Post added at 11:56 ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 ----------
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

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.
