This is a beta release of Theme creator tool. It is a QT based desktop application to edit themes.
Themes created using this tool are compatible with Avatar ROM and Cyanogen ROM. Similarly you can edit both Avatar Themes and Cyanogen themes.
Download the theme apk and open it using the theme creator tool. You will see a screen to edit the resources. After editing the resources, save the apk and install on the device.
What you can do with this tool ?
1. There are 1000's of resources that can be themed in Android. We change only a small set of them and if you want to theme more resources you can use this tool.
2. We make some mistakes when creating a theme. Eg: SMS time stamp color was not proper in some of our themes. You can now use this tool to fix it.
3. We cannot satify all the users with a theme. Eg: If you want to have a darker orange shade in denim theme you can now do it using this tool.
4. You can import an existing theme, change some of the resources we modified and you have a brand new theme.
Upcoming features:
1. Import MiUi mtz theme file and convert it to theme apk which is compatible with AvatarROM and CyanogenROM.
2. Upload your new themes to our server so it can be used by other AvatarROM users.
3. Html5 based new theme creator tool which is more elegant and user friendly.
If you create a new theme and want to upload to our server, send us a PM and we will give access for you to upload the theme.

Additional help
I am using the Avatar rom for quite some time now. Just tried the theme creator. I found some useful resources from the wiki. Adding more such resources will be useful. Also a feature to edit themes from the rom will be useful

There are no theme apks with the tool. You can create a new theme from scratch.
If you would like to edit our existing themes, please find links to some of our themes at our website

I'd like to play with the tool, so I changed an existing theme and tried to install it through the "Install->On Avatar Device" option. Unfortunately, I get a "install_parse_failed_inconsistent_certificates" error for the modified theme. I'm not familiar with the certificate thing yet (I just know, that the .apk are signed), so what can I do?
Please uninstall the original theme from the device and try to install it again from the tool.
Alternatively you can change the package name while saving the theme using the tool.
The error is due to the original theme having a different signature than the test signature used by the tool.

Thx for this quick answer!
That's what I actually did after some googleing (uninstall & reinstall), but wouldn't it be more userfriendly to let the tool do it (if possible)?

If it is a theme previously installed with the tool, it will automatically reinstall the same. But otherwise the tool won't uninstall the themes.
Does anyone know by chance, if the app drawer background of the bazooka launcher is an image? And if so, which one is it? Or is it just a matter of settings (which I didn't find yet)?
I already modified a theme and I'd like to have a (semi) transparent app drawer background...
How do I add more apps? I would like to theme Chrome etc.

I don't think the app drawer background is themable in Bazooka launcher. There is a setting "Transparent mode" (in Menu->Bazooka Settings->General) to make the background transparent.

We will definitely add more apps going forward.
But if you know the application package and the resources that needs to be themed,
you can add them to the tool by editing/adding some xml files in <path_where_tool_is_installed>/Packages folder.
For example to add chrome
Add a new entry in index.xml
Code:
<Application name="Chrome" AppPackage="com.android.chrome" AppXml="com_android_chrome"/>
Also needs to add a new xml com_android_chrome.xml in the same folder with contents
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<Application name="com_android_chrome">
<Page name="Drawables">
<item name="icon" type="drawable">
<BackendInfo ActivityName="icon"/>
</item>
<item name="app_icon" type="drawable">
<BackendInfo ActivityName="app_icon"/>
</item>
</Page>
</Application>
On next launch, the tool will show Chrome entry in the Applications menu and you can modify the icon images using the same

Can you try changing the dpi options at the top? The apk might have the images only for one dpi.

Anyone else getting the "It seems You have opened an invalid Theme." error on Windows? I'm running Windows 7 x64, I've tried running in compatibility mode up to windows xp, and running as admin, but no change. I've downloaded themes from within the tool, from the website, I can't even start from scratch. I'm not sure what else to do. I can't be the only one.

Its working for me in Windows x64. I am able to download theme and its opening. Can you attach the NTMLogs.txt present in "C:\Users\<your username>\.ATC"?
On this occasion I want to share all my mods results on the theme for Samsung Galaxy, especially the Galaxy e5. But this guide can work on other Samsung Galaxy with Theme Chooser. Like the Galaxy A3, A5, A7, E7, J2 and more. I will keep this thread updated to section script and theme. For friends all the support yes please.
Terms :
Your device must Root.
Your device have Custom Recovery like TWRP or CWM.
Tools :
Root Explorer.
Text Editor or Notepad.
Apktool (Mobile or PC).
STEP 1 : How to display the hidden icon in ThemeChooser
Open the file "theme_app_list.xml" in the folder "..system/csc/here"
Add a new line with this
Code:
Align with the others.
Fill className with the target application.
Fill also IconId with your app icon name that will exist in the icon themes.
Save and exit.
Set permission 0644.
Reboot your phone.
One example icon youtube if you want to appear like this:
Code:
STEP 2 : How to create a Theme Support Full Icon.
After you add a script for example youtube, you have to add also in the theme. The following steps :
Take a sample of our mobile default theme, for example Natural2.apk
Decompile the apk through apktool.
Once the process is complete decompile go to the folder res/drawable/xhdpi/here and add a new icon with the name for example "theme_app_youtube_icon.png"
Go to the folder res/values/public.xml
Edit the line add id to youtube at the bottom. Align the id of youtube with other drawable file. Give serial number forwarding id before.
Decompile Apk, Sign, and Zipalign.
Install theme as normal apk.
Select your theme and apply.
Finish
But I know, for some people there who definitely do not want complicated. Easy version do you install the file below which I have edited so full icon theme. Install through Twrp, then install theme as normality apk.
Download : ThemeAppList_v1.zip
Install via TWRP let the theme full icon.
Support icon :
All Samsung Apps icon
All Google Apps icon
BBM
Dropbox
Es File Explorer

If your fone is rooted, install Rom Toolbox from playstore.
1.Open rom toolbox.
2.go to app manager
3.tap on magnifying glass and search for "themes"
4.scroll down till you see "theme" and "theme store"
5.select both and tap on "freeze"
By doing this you can keep the free trial permanently on your phone.
NOTE: Make sure to apply the theme's free trial and complete the above process within 4 minutes.

I don't think this process works anymore. I think a recent update removed the ability to merely freeze (and thus non root options like package disabler pro)
Edit: I did some research and now you have to delete the cache and data of themes after freezing
Can you explain better please?
Thanks.

can one of you provide the APK and just sent a pm to me if that's possible? the theme looks great :good: theme store wont let me find it there...
For non rooted galaxies
Download Package disabler pro apk ,install it and grant the permissions
Now download your favourite paid theme from theme store and start its free trial.
Now open Package Disabler pro
Search theme
Two apps will be displayed
Open both of them one by one
Clear the data
Tap on disable
NOTE: Samsung has blocked the way i used to download the theme editor so i will now have to search for another method. till then no update
Hey guys,
Below are the links to download the Samsung Theme Editor. All credits goes to @adfree for finding the secret method
Unleash your creativity.
PS: it does not need anything like samsung account etc. for making the themes

Unfortunately no, but there is a long method by which you can use some stuff from the theme you want to use as base. The steps are:
1) Extract every qmg file from each apk within a theme and rename the extracted apks to zip.
2) using command prompt run the following command:
Code:
ren *.qmg *.png
it will auto change the extension from qmg to png.
3) Transfer the pngs to mobile phone and look at the images you want to use
4) create your theme and individually replace the qmg which you identified from pngs with the base themes qmg. That's it.
I know its a tiresome task
nice:good: i made my first theme
Thanks, this is something..

First, thank you for posting this tool.
I'm still old skool in terms of theming, hard coding the system and adding/changing images to my preference.
It seems the the overlay themes are the direction it been headed for sometime so if the tool is easy enough and less time consuming, I suppose I could switch, plus the compatibility for many more devices and users is quite nice!
As far as converting/viewing qmg images install this to your phone and within the app select the apk of which you wish to view the qmg images and bam! It's all done, converted to png's viewable on pc and everything!
Anyways, thanks again!

I also found out one more way as this alp was not working for me on s7. Further, the above mentioned method is not working as the tool requires you to sign the apk with a certificate which you create with this tool itself and changing the files i think damages the signature. Nevertheless the 2nd way is to rename the qmg files to png. Transfer them to phone and then through the phone edit them. Add a small difference so that you can save it. Once you do, it will save it in png format.

These are Samsung galaxy fonts that you have to pay for (clearly not from that link)
That's why they work. There from Samsung already (there the only ones that do work because there paid fonts from Samsung galaxy app store)
You can't use custom fonts without root
Is it worth rooting just to install one font?

That's a matter of opinion.. but I would say no. Not worth it just for a font
It's ****ing stupid they want to charge $2 for one font when they're free on Google play..... it's a damn scam. Apparently buying a $900 phone they don't think you should get a dew perks

There are ways to install fonts on your samsung
I use an app called, Fonts for Samsung (AFonts) from the play store and with it, I am able to install ttf file (font files) that I download off the internet and it has a few fonts that you can download.
Also, check out Wings XDA, I was able to add over a thousand fonts on my note 8 and it worked.
