In order to install a theme (a .cab theme) do i need to do anything else besides installing it on the phone and clicking it? any special firmware or something?
no usually not.
if it's a theme, the best bet is to usually restart the phone and the theme should appear when u go select your theme.
i am also new to here
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
i couldn't install the google dialer apk on my honor 8 phone (FRD-L04). Tried sideloading various versions of it downloaded from apk mirror, nothing get installed.
Could somebody help out if you have managed to install the same

Google store says my phone isn't compatible.
Are you rooted?
Is your phone rooted? It's the only way this will work.
Take this apk, use a root file explorer (I like solid explorer) and copy it to root/system/priv-app. Then edit the read/write permissions ( I usually enable everything).
You can also use link2sd to make the apk a system app.
Then just reboot your phone and you should be good to go.
You'll have to go to apps, settings, pick defaults, and choose it as the dialer.
Also, if you are rooted, you can then delete the stock dialer, but be careful, you might delete the wrong thing and then no phone for you. (I had that issue, but a kind forum member was able to get me the missing apk)
If somehow it DOES get messed up, you'll have to reflash via dload, or get the correct apks and place them on priv-app (again, if you're rooted)
thanks for the reply.. i don't want to root my phone though..

yeah same here...
Not sure how the compatibility check works..
Google has published these contacts and Phone / dialer app in play store. but its not installable in all phones..
i followed another thread..
and installed google contacts sync apk, (gave it all permissions) then contacts apk and then dialer apk, this way i am able to get the dialer app installed (but its version 3.x only, other versions i couldn't get install),
Now i got the Dialer icon (blue) one it opens the regular dialer interface. but when i make call the interface goes to Honor 8 dialer app interface.. not sure how this works..

I know this is a few months old...
I was looking for a higher version number of Google Dialer that could be compatible with the Honor 8.
To the best of my knowledge, this is the only version compatible: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...71529-nonnexus-android-apk-download/download/
I've used this very same version on my Moto X Pure.

This is best compatible with AOSP ROMs.
Wasn't the first question about installing Google Dialer on an Honor 8? It was even stated that they tried to sideload multiple different versions as well... from APK Mirror... the same place I shared the link from. I merely wanted to state that the version I linked to is the last version that I know personally works on phones that aren't Nexus/Pixel. All you can do is try it or not. It works. Just download, install normally, set it to default app.
The dialer installs just fine on the honor 8. I'm running it right now. There's a few threads about how to do it correctly here on XDA. First rule, search before asking.

This isn't a new thread - it's months old. Someone just resurrected it by adding a new comment. And yes, the app can be side loaded onto the Honor 8, but it will only be the dialer and contact list UI. The in call UI will remain stock and caller id will not work.
Results with rooted devices may vary though.
Hi,
After installing and applying one theme from play store my honor 6x, emui 4.0 the theme app, dialer, files app and settings app keep crashing and unable to open. I'm not being able to revert back to any of the default themes. Please let me know if there's any other way to revert back to any themes i have from pre installed.
I had deleted the theme from the theme folder by using es file explorer and restarted the device but still it's not changing and helping me out.
Since factory settings comes under settings app I'm not being able to utilize this method as well.
Thanx in advance.
Maybe do a hard reset
I downloaded some themes.
Then I opened the Themes app (stock) and went to the ME tab and saw 'Default' (of course) and 'XDA_Exclusive_for_EMUI5_v1.1'. This one works fine.
But these three don't show up in
Simple_Mono_Dark_for_EMUI5_v1.1
Paint_It_Black_for_EMUI5_beta1
Dark_Bloom_for_EMUI5_v1.0_icons_huawei
despite they are downloaded and shown in /sdcard/HWThemes , along the other ones mentioned above.
What is going wrong here?
I downloaded these via the Themes app and the EMUI Theme factory app.
