Hi, can anyone tell me how i am supposed to use a theme for widgetlocker at all please?
I downloaded 3 files (zip) and chose the option of install and add, but there is only my phone lock showing, no icons to choose from and no wallpaper that was supposed to come with it.
I have no idea where the file has saved to or anything, and well being new to all of this android stuff i m a bit confused....
thanks for any help you can give me.

No, you don't need to unzip those files. You just have to place those zip files in sdcard/data/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker/themes

I'm having issues with my widgetlocker adding new themes. I've added themes before and they've worked fine but now it wont add any more. I've added the zip file, which has like 20 themes in it, into the location mentioned above. Then I go into widgetlocker and have the slider selection screen update the theme population. But it doesn't show any additional themes. What am I doing wrong?

If you have several themes in a zip, then you'll have to extract them.

Do I have to extract them and zip each one of them individually? Because I tried it extracted, with the actual folders for each theme in the correct directory, and still nothing happened.

Yeah, if the themes aren't in zip format, make a new zip (with Astro or something) and copy and paste the thenes inside. Widget Locker only loads up zip themes, but not themes within a zip.

Ok so I took all of the themes out of the larger archive and zipped them each individually, making sure that each zip had just the folder and the theme files within. Still nothing. I have no clue why these files arent being read.
**deleted**
so where do you download this theme?

You're not the only one having problems, i think everyone trying to help maybe misunderstanding the problem, or at least mine is different.
Once I have done the 1-5 I can choose a theme but the only thing that happens is that it adds an additional unlocker to my current setup, creating multiple unlock wigets.
There must be a setting somewhere that is not allowing the full theme to be applied.
for example if I install "droids on a wire" i get the unlock mechanism added to lockscreen (in additon to the one I allready had) but unthemed. It does not show the droids hanging just the base unlocker used in it; no background or anything other else in that theme. This happens on any theme I have tried to apply
what setting am I missing??
Screenshots of your device and what it supposed to look like would be very helpful.

I think I am having the same problem, although some it loads fine on others it shows the name of the new theme but shows an old preview of a stock locker. Even when I add it it will not change?!?

So I did this mod a while back on my nexus 5. Took me a while and few incorrect APK's were decompiled but I got it right this time. It's simply a custom app drawer icon replacing the stock image with a custom root pirate droid image. When pressed I added a blur effect/animation. Keep in mind I am on stock 6.0.1 rooted with Xposed. Not sure if it will work on custom roms but I think it should.
Instructions:
**make a nandroid backup. I am not responsible for any loss/damages you encounter while using this mod.**
1)Download base.apk
2)move apk to data/app.
3)set permissions to rw-r-r--
4)move apk to data/app/com.google.android.goglequicksearchbox-1
5) select the option to replace/overwrite the existing file.
6) an error notification will appear saying that the Google app has stopped working
7) ignore and reboot.
8) enjoy

Also, I never got into the habit of making flashable zips outside of using zip themer which unfortunately I don't believe is compatible with MM. If anyone can make a flashable zip for this mod and can post it here please do and I can go ahead and add it to the OP.
So the directory data/app/com.google.android.goglequicksearchbox-1 is not there on Dirty Unicorns, you wouldnt happen to know where i should put it on that rom would you?? I would be willing to try it out.

You can do that with a custom launcher. That being said I'll create the flashable.zip for you on Saturday if not done already

That's because this is for google now launcher. Im also on DU. I'll check, but it will probably be in velvet.apk
EDIT
ok, so I'm pretty sure the stock launcher for DU is Velvet.apk. with that being said you would need go decompile it, mod the images and recompile. If you want, I can do it for you and use the DU unicorn image to theme it toward the ROM if you'd like. I can post the apk here when finished.

Hi,
All Samsung Galaxy J2 2016 & J2 Pro owners out there, you have choice of only 4 themes to choose from with no theme support (?).
In fact, J2 (2016) series has theme support but has been kept away due to some reasons. I had endlessly searched for theme store access but found it very difficult.
MOST IMPORTANT: This method has worked for me, it may not work for you, do it at your own risk, I am not responsible at all for ALL/ANY of the damage caused to your device / file systems /data etc. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK, I REPEAT, DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Requirement:
1. Rooted J2-6 (Must)
2. Root Explorer or any file manager capable of handling permissions
Finally, I did following:
1. Change build.prop to that of Samsung Galaxy S7
i. Change ro.product.model=SM-G930F from ro.product.model=SM-J210F
2. Copy following S7 apps to /system/priv-app folder:
i. ThemeCenter.apk (first create folder in the same name, please note that it is case sensitive, then copy this file into that folder)
ii. ThemeStore_3xh.apk(first create folder in the same name, please note that it is case sensitive, then copy this file into that folder)
iii. Please note that folder permission must be set to 0755 and apk file inside folder must have permission set to 0644. (Without this it will not install)
iv. Example: (system\priv-app\ThemeCenter\ThemeCenter.apk)
v. For change of permission, you may refer to various discussions available on xda forums
3. Remove Themes.apk (It is basically a theme chooser app and it will not allow theme store) from system/priv-app {Use system app uninstaller to uninstall theme program easily / Beware: You will lose your pre-install theme by doing this !
4. Install the pasted apk manually by tapping install, it may say not installed, but rebooting few times will install
5. Now open Galaxy Apps, Click on Category, you will see SAMSUNG THEMES with brush logo, click on it and theme store will open, tap the add shortcut to home screen.
6. Download and install any theme you want, Enjoy
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Still I have few issues, developers can look into this:
1. How to merge native theme in launcher with theme store (So stock themes can be applied as well - Not required if full theme support can be ported)
2. When I click on My Themes section in theme store, it force closes. (Solved this by installing deodexed J5 2016 touchwiz launcher)
3. Partial Theme Support - Following items are not themed OR themed partially:
i. Dialler
ii. Contacts
iii. Keyboard
iv. Lock Screen wall paper not applied
v. Animated themes not working
If anybody interested in solving this, kindly post a method, also confirm if framework-res.apk needs to be modified ? (I am not pro at such level)
Thanks.

Okay, I've installed build.prop editor from the play store. However, the ro.product.model, had no numbers at the end.
It only shows the model of my phone, (SM-N910T). Which of the models do I change it to? Also, I do have a file called: build.prop, in my system folder. Should I change that file to Samsung Galaxy S7?

I believe that your phone is Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and it might not have theme chooser, since method I posted is for J series, you can still continue and install theme center as usual.
You should give it a try. Please follow all steps (which are applicable) and go ahead, it should work.
Please carefully go thorough each step of my post.

Okay, so, I have tried it and everything was going well until I pressed "Samsung Themes". Upon pressing I was then sent to install update, which gave me no success. I got an error me sage (S11) and tells me to try again later... and so I have, but it only leads to the same error message. Could there be an updated version of theme store? Also, I cannot find the file using system uninstaller.

Share the following Screenshots:
1. System/Priv-app folder (Use root explorer or similar app, sort it in the manner which displays themestore and themecenter folders)
2. About Device (this will display mobile model No.)
Most likely there is minor error, which will be fixed, dont worry.

One more thing, dont download the themes right away, click on "More" in top right corner, click "Settings", Click "About Samsung Themes" and update the theme store version (it will automatically, if not, try manually).
Reboot and retry.

Galaxy apps under settings doesn't show about samsung themes. Not sure if that is what you were referring to. And it shows that the app is up to date.

Editing Keyboard themes in Galaxy Themes on Note 5
I have been trying to figure out how to change only the Keyboards from Galaxy themes on my Note 5 for a while and have not found any links on how to accomplish this. It is similar to changing the Icon packs and other settings in the themes only there are separate apk files that are installed specifically for the keyboard during the install, so you can not just edit the script file to change them. I am just posting this in case anyone else was wondering how to do this and hopefully it will help someone. Please let me know if there is an easier way.
First, Make a Backup!
Make sure the default theme is applied!
To get to your themes, Go To [Root]:
Data > Overlays > jsonfiles > UserJSON (Themes)
To use Keyboard from Theme A with Theme B
Data > Overlays > Style
You’ll see a list of your themes there...
Find Theme a Folder and open:
Copy the 3 files that end in “inputmethod.apk” “inputmethod_cn.apk” & “Japan.apk”
After copying in a new folder They should look like:
Theme_A.inputmethod.apk
Theme_A.inputmethod_cn.apk
Theme_A.Japan.apk
Rename the 3 files to the name of the theme that you want to use them with, but leaving the ".inputmethod.apk..." (I’m using Theme B)
When finished they should look something like This:
Theme_B.inputmethod.apk
Theme_B.inputmethod_cn.apk
Theme_B.Japan.apk
Go back to:
Data > Overlays > style
Open Theme B Folder and copy the 3 renamed Keyboard apk files over the 3 matching files in Theme B Folder...
ReBoot!
After restarted, Apply Theme B and the only thing different should be that it will have Theme A’s Keyboard.

Open Theme B Folder and copy the 3 renamed Keyboard apk files over the 3 matching files in Theme B Folder...
ReBoot!
After restarted, Apply Theme B and the only thing different should be that it will have Theme A’s Keyboard.

Hey, thanks.
IT WORKED
But as soon as I reboot the phone, the keyboard goes back to normal.
ANY SOLUTION?
I haven't had that problem. It could possibly have something to do worth the read write permissions on your system partition. Maybe they are reseting back to read only when you're restart and somehow it is deleting your change. The only thing I would make sure is you have BusyBox installed Superuser is updated to the newest version and that your system drive has read write permissions.
When I flash a new ROM to make sure I have read write permissions on system partition, this is what I do:
Go in to recovery (I use TWRP)
Go to ADVANCED -> TERMINAL EMULATOR
TYPE the command: restorecon -Rv /data/media (press enter)
When it's finished running command I restart. Go to root explorer and make sure system partition Is R/W (rw-r-r 0644) and not read only.
It was something I just kind of came across I'm not 100% familiar with why it would do that the only thing I can tell you is that I'm using TEKHD ROM MM and getting the read write permissions to stick is the most difficult thing I have come across. This is what usually works for me but I would look the permissions. If anyone else has any suggestions on getting the permissions fixed I would like to know also because it also affects multi-window for all apps.
I rooted. My M10 now all themes is gone, anyone figure how to get it back? Ty
I think you need to go into settings, apps, find Theme app and clear cache & data
We need a hw_init folder from stock phone and place it back on rooted phone.
I have the ALP-L09 version mate only with the bootloader unlocked. If that way you are worth, tell me where I find that folder and how I extract it and upload it here

I use "Total commander" from playstore. Navigate to root/system then create a new folder (Press the three dot on the top right) and name it "themes". You need to change the folder permission to 755. Press and hold the folder until a dialogue appears and choose properties. Then press on RWX. You can then change the permission. You can then copy the hwt files to this folder and change the files permission to 644. You can download themes from (for mate 10 pro but works fine on regular mate 10):

Please check and make sure that folder permission is 755, hwt files permission is 644. The "themes" folder must be in the root/system folder. If this is the case and it does not work I do not have the answer.

You have another option: create the following folders in the root/data folder:
hw_init/version/region_comm/oversea/themes
You need to have five folders in this order unless you already have some of these folders. You then put the hwt files in the "themes" folder. Make sure all the folder have 755 permission and the hwt files have 644 permission. Good luck!

Create the following folders:
hw_init/version/region_comm/oversea/
Then unzip the attach screenlock.zip and put the folder screenlock and its subdirectories in the oversea folder. Make sure you set folder permission to 755 and files permission to 644.
