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.

HI, thanks for the reply,
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

I was wondering if there is a way to reverse icon colors in the status bar. I just downloaded a black status bar and a lot of the icons blend into the black bar (if that makes sense).
If anyone can help me out, thanks. I don't know anything at all about coding and very little about the root process, so a Metamorph option would be the easiest way for me, although I can figure out theming.

Haven´t checked that...best, open file and have a look before you morph.

Wow that is a great idea. I never thought of that haha (still brand new to this stuff). Well, unfortunately it doesn't have icons for Messaging, Gmail and a few others. Thanks for the idea though. Now I know I can check.
Any other ideas?
Anyone know of anything else to do?
Shameless bump because I really want this.
There is a desire morph around somewhere, locate the files or images you want and I can make a morph, just need to know what rom and icons.
Also bumping. Now that CM has theming, I think someone should have one out.

I checked out ninja morph. You're right, it does exactly what you said...EXCEPT you have to modify every icon individually, which ends up being an enormous pain.
Also, I could have missed something but how do you inverse icons directly on the phone? I looked around and still couldnt find anything. Ended up transfering them to the pc and editing them from there.
In the end, I'm just amazed that android doesn't have a unified icon / theming system yet. To edit messages, you have to go in to mms.apk (took me forever to figure that one out), to edit gmail you have to look in gmail.apk, system icons were in framework, etc. What a pain.
Hoping there might be one or two of you out there that would be willing to help or teach me how to create themes that can be applied using theme chooser. Also I have a boot animation that I have made from a video clip that needs some tweaking. Currently choppy and sluggish.
If your interested please PM me.
If you check in the main android forum there are several guides on how to make those themes.
I'll keep looking. So far all the ones that I have found require a knowledge of xml which i am still trying to learn.

You can make a theme on the Go Launcher website... It requires you to have ether Google Chrome or Firefox..
the only issues that I have found with this website is that you can't change how the notifcation bar stuff shows up.. like if I wanted to make the battery look different than the stock one... I can't do that on the website.
Go Launcher Theme Factory
http://gotheme.3g.cn/golauncherthemefactory/main/jspController/welcome.html?locale=en_US
I have been using it to kind of organize the images that I want to put in the theme... I will be themeing a Rom when I actually start the process but I have been using it to load in the backgrounds and the icons that I want to use and seeing what looks good. Once I find what I think looks good then I move the files into a folder that I name and I make sure that the name on the theme in theme factory for quick reference so I can see what it looks like.
Theme Factory hint... if You make a theme that is good enough and submit it they will sell it in the Market!..... opps... Play Store.
Uot kitchen is the best I've come across.
Just follow the directions and play with it ,learning as you go is the best way.
Although you can't theme app icons,you can theme everything else including battery to windows and dividers,fonts,animations,status bar,etc.etc.
"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..

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?

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)

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 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.

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
First off I want to give a HUGE thanks to @supergrobi94 who pretty much did all of the heavy lifting for this project. He designed the apks and flashable zips that we are using and gave us permission to modify them for the Verizon variant. His work can be found here: Thread
I've been working with @kevintm78 to get some modified system apps with custom icons and such. I've spent a lot of time to try and alter the icons and spacing to make sure that it looks the way I want on the note 4.
If we decide to work on other themes we'll be posting them here. I'm hoping to get a dark background version of the settings and some darker notifications, but we'll see how it goes since apparently that's pretty hard.
I've attached a few screenshots below to give a taste of what it looks like and you can download it while we work on other themes. The first two are for this mod.
I've tested it on PaulPizz's CPF3 ROM v3.2 and it works fine, but it is based off of the N910F so there may be some bugs. Make sure to do a backup before flashing and understand that you are flashing this at your own risk. I will try to support it, but honestly I'm a little out of my league here. There is a lot of trial and error with the Samsung apks because they make them proprietary. Anyway, Enjoy!

Themes for ROMs with Theme Store: ThemeStoreThemes
Recently I have been enjoying the FullNote7Build2.1 from @chevyrhoads and have decided to make some themes for it. @Shane_Picardo has uploaded a copy of the ThemeSoftware (it's a version behind, but it works) that I've used to create this theme. I've been looking into changing the status bar icons, but I don't have a lot of hope since the file types for the Note7 port have changed again to some proprietary format that I probably won't be able to decode. I haven't touched the icons since I use Nova Launcher with Icon packs, but I have changed many of the system apps to be a darker theme. I've attached the preview images so you can see if you like it (the ones that start with theme). There is a limit to what the theme editor can do, but if there are requests let me know. I'm more interested in AOSP-like themes, but if another idea interests me I'll look into it.
Theme Store Instructions:
1) Download the appropriate apk (Note 7 ports have a different apk than Note 5 or S6/S7 ports)
2) Install apk, but do not apply
3) Navigate to /data/overlays/jsonfiles/trialjson and cut the file with the name of the theme you just installed
4) Paste the file in /data/overlays/jsonfiles/userjson
5) Navigate back to /data/overlays and delete the preferences folder
6) Reboot and apply the theme
7) Enjoy!

I don't currently know of a way to conditionally remove the icon. I'll look into it though. I actually prefer it there so I know what connection I have for mms and the like.

One thing that I could do is have an upside down signal bar that would change based on your signal (1x=1 bar, 2g=2 bars, 3g=3 bars, 4g=4 bars) right above the cell signal bar so it doesn't take any extra space, but I'd have to remove the up/down data arrows for mobile data. Thoughts?
Also, are there other icons that people want up in the status bar? I can change bluetooth, NFC, alarm clock, and other icons if someone has better suggestions.
Thanks!
Hello @shadeau I was wondering if you could make a complete transparent theme with the wallpaper in your screenshots. One that would make the dialer, settings and messages transparent with the homescreen wallpaper as background in everything? That would be awesome. Also with dark blue fonts. If that is asking too much I completely understand, as I really don't know myself how much time and effort has to go into this. I tried installing the Samsung Theme editor myself with my internet turned completely off before opening it but I still couldn't get it to work. Thanks for your time.

Okay, so the theme editor won't actually let me specify a transparent background unless it's an image file. Even if I specify a completely transparent image file as a background it just means that you see through to the very back of the app instead of to the background (so you still see black). In short, this won't work as you intended, but if you have a background that you want for every screen I could put that image as the theme background. It might be easier to try to get the program running on your computer though so you can play around with different styles and see for yourself.
If you want help with installing it I can see what I can do to assist. Reply here or PM me if you're interested.

It might be easier to try to get the program running on your computer though so you can play around with different styles and see for yourself.
If you want help with installing it I can see what I can do to assist. Reply here or PM me if you're interested.

Ok cool. If you could make the background image for every screen that would be good. The darker one from your screen shots would be great. Would that work? Thank you again for your time and doing this.

Okay, so the theme editor won't actually let me specify a transparent background unless it's an image file.

Well I just installed the Theme editor again and before opening it I went into windows firewall to block it but I don't see it listed anywhere. I looked for Theme Editor and Samsung Theme editor. Is it listed as a different name? Thanks

I'll see what I can do with this one. I'll post one here when I finish.

You need to manually add it. Open windows firewall, select advanced settings, select inbound rules on the left, select new rule on the right, select program and click next, find the program in the program path selection area, select block the connection and click next, select all of the things listed for when it should apply and click next, name it something like Theme inbound and click finish.
Repeat the process for outbound rules. Hope that helps.

I want to thank you again for your help, but I still can't get the Theme Editor to run on my windows 10 pc even after blocking it in Windows firewall. Don't know what else to try.

I've currently got the theme editor running on two windows 10 computers just fine. Could you be more specific on what is failing when you try to run the program? You might want to download it again too.

I would uninstall the program completely, re-download it, and try installing the newly downloaded file. I didn't get that error with either one of my installs. The firewall fix makes sure it doesn't try to get updates. It might help to disconnect from the internet while you're installing it too just to see if it helps.

Ok. Thank you very much. I'll do that later and let you know how it goes. I really appreciate your help.
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.
