Installing Theme - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Good evening
I installed a theme via its apk, but I do not see it in Samsung theme. I installed it twice and rebooted, always the same.
An idea ?
Thank you

Hello, you must first download the theme on Samsung Themes (whatever you like) and apply it, only after that install your theme and will be visible in Samsung Themes ?

[THEME]Precision for Gingerbread from Vibrant. Still in heavy test stage

I am trying to make this compatible for other devices as well now. I know for a fact it works on Darkys ROM for Captivate so I think it may work on other gingerbread versions/Roms for the captivate as well. It has also been confirmed to work on i9000 jvp, jvq, and jvr gingerbread versions.
Flash it in Recovery. Always Backup first incase it causes any issues.

If Apps force close restore your back up, go into the theme zip and remove the apps that had problems then reflash the theme.
I do not have a Captivate, I am just going by what my testers have told me. So if you try it let me know how it goes.
Flashed over the top of the latest build of Serendipity VII.
Stuck in a bit of a weird bootloop.
- Booted up with the SVII boot screen.
- Rebooted by itself. Buzzed.
- Booted to what seemed to be the TouchWiz screen with a few icons.
- Rebooted by itself. Buzzed.
- Booted to the GoLauncher screen I had, custom icons showed up.
- Rebooted by itself. Buzzed.
Keeps doing it endlessly so I am going to pop the battery out and try again.
Oh...When the screen does come up briefly I can see the theme's icons' in the status bar.
Restore ur backup. Then Go into the theme zip and delete settings and launcher apk. For some reason captivate doesn't like the sgs2 launcher. Then reflash it with those apk removed.

Love the theme. Any chance you could port it to cog 5 or atomic fusion?

Are they gingerbread based? I dont have a captivate to test anything. But this theme might would work if they are gingerbread based.

Same result...except i get a Sim Card removed error, then multiple reboots.
Won't restore from back up. Error while formatting system. I'l reflash my recent theme.
Back to Charcoal Beta...
I checked the Zip file and I removed the suggested files correctly.

Yes, but they are 2.3.3.
no fonts
Is there a way to install this theme without installing the fonts.
Awesome theme just font is to small for me to read.
Thanks

you could install font changer donate version and install the font you want to use....not sure if it will work with the theme....but I use it for my Cappy on Mosaic VI and Laucher 7 Pro....I wanted the font from WP7 Segoe Light and was able to accompish that using Font Changer.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.martino2k6.fontchanger&feature=more_from_developer
I removed the font from the .zip file and that worked.
Not sure if that was the best way, but appears to have worked
thanks

100s of Themes Now Available, the Newest and Best just need a test!

Hey guys just need a tester to verify for me that my Theme Park or the individual themes I've ported work for the Note4 as well. Theres over a 100 to choose from: You must have S6 Apps or be using an "S6 Ported" ROM to have really good results otherwise results may very as to how well or full the theme will appear.
100+ THEMES FOR S6 PORTED APPS ON NOTE 4, 3, S5& S4
Individual Themes (a directory, download a zip and flash in FlashFire or Custom Recovery)
If you cant get a certain app to theme its more than likely not a good port. I recommend Albe95's Ports their great!
I also would like my Theme Park tested it does a little more than just visual theme:
dOPE Layers Theme Park
You can use the Theme Park no matter what kind of ROM your on because theres themes for Lollipop or for S6 Lollipop!
to Install download the .zip and run through Custom Recovery, it is built with Aroma!
Thank me if you enjoy, I helped you or donate if you want more releases like this!
Note4 Users Please confirm whats working for you!
thanks for the thanks guys but if you could confirm what you tried and whether or not it worked that'd be awesome!

Not work for Note4 dr.ketan L9 Dr.Ketan ROM.
Already flash it from CWM, but boot with no end at Samsung logo.
And i see that apk file store at system/overlay *in your file*, but in my system/overlay there only 1 file.
I already have Ironman Theme before, but all ironman .apk not store at system/overlay.

not sure that it would be possible. this uses bitsyko's layers in order to theme. im looking into it. ive been trying to convert the themes to layers manager - playstore type of packages if anyone knows how to easily let me know.

thank you for the useful feedback. what theme did you try? also you say your ROM already supports S6 themes? can you download from the theme store and apply to phone and it works perfectly? if so can you please provide me with the directory that the broken down apk files are stored in if its not /system/vendor/overlay... like the ironman.apk you were talking about if its installed on the phone say on an S6 all the apks that are contained in the ironman.apk file (individual apks for theming each app like contacts, mms etc) are all stored in the /data/overlays directory. on an s4 or s5 we use the /system/vendor/overlay directory.
you asked about doing it manually in order to do that unpack the theme zip to phone in a directory you can easily find. then use bitsyko's layers manager and load the .apk files from the theme you want to install. thanks for your help. please report back any more details you can give me.

well I released this for S4 initally. I needed testers for the Note 4/Note 3 and S5. S5 works exactly like the S4 but the Note 4/3 I'm still trying to make sure it will work with stock S6 apps. unfortunately havent gotten much feedback. this isnt officially released yet and do u have any idea how long or much time it would take to upload screenshots for hundreds of themes? christ its taken me months to get this far. thats why I asked that anyone that successfully tries them to post their screens. you can alternatively search for dOPE Theme Park on XDA and view the original S4 page which has only a few screenshots. Ive been focusing on making 2.0 and updated a lot of themes and made a few new ones also added the possibility to individually theme each app so each app has a different theme if wanted.... who criticizes a General post asking for testers?! LOL if I can get a few people to test and get feedback I can finalize this for the Note 4 at which point the release would be located in the proper Note4 Themes/Apps Forum. thanks for your concern

ok I read thru the S6 thread you lead me to. so it seems that Dr K's ROM is a direct port of an S6. Thus the themes would have to be installed off the Store or flashed over an exisiting theme that was already installed. Which means I'd need someone with the theme designer to package one of my themes with generically named files. then install that via script and then flash over the top of a different theme from my theme collection... its weird to me that BitSyko's Layers Manager doesnt work for you guys. Thats what the Samsung Overlays is based on... did you try using it like I suggested? or has anyone tried it? Just download it off the play store and then unpack one of my zips to your phone or whatever then select the .apk files from the theme that you want to install. Using this method would enable u to flash multiple parts of different themes to the phone. So for example you could have Avengers as your Dialer, Captain America as your Contacts, Black Widow as your MMS, Hulk as your Settings and so on (looks like your an Avengers fan lol) would you give that a try or anyone using a different S6 ROM with say Albe95's S6 Ported files give that a shot for me and let me know. I'm still convinced this method will work.

New zenui says 3rd party theme support

Installed it too via APK but the Zen Material theme don't show up in my Unofficial Themes tab, but the ones I installed from Google Play shows. :crying:
EDIT: I think you got it confused with this theme we're talking about (link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/themes-apps/theme-material-light-t3267844) because the .apk you uploaded is available on play store.

I agree with danonfox, the theme you linked is also avaible from playstore, this is not the theme by valentind.44, but the one made by Sarvesh Geetha. Anyway is possible to install also themes without play store, but the one by valentind.44 is not working, don't know why.

Custom Themes testing

hello I'm envy.. just asking if anyone here who got their S10 already and willing to try to install my theme and confirm if it shows on the Theme Store?
You need the xdaLabs app to download my theme.
just open your theme store first and leave it running on the background, then click this link
download it and install, then go back to theme store and see if its there.
should look like this: see attachment.
this will help me confirm if we got future for custom theming on S10 thank you very much.

this is the correct method:
If it gets installed already says xdalabs click the uninstall button from theme app page on xdalabs.
Instructions:
-Open your samsung theme store and leave it running on the background (to not clear on recent menu)
-Open the theme link with Xdalabs app and download theme
-Install the theme and click done
-comeback to Samsung theme store by Settings app (themes and wallpaper option) and see if the theme is there
No need reboot
*if its really not there after doing these, this is sad.
