Is there a way to stop galaxy themes forcing me to update so it can load my built in wallpapers?

Auto update galaxy themes over wifi or data but there is no option for never.how do we stop galaxy themes updating?I've got package disabler but dont know what to disable to stop galaxy themes uodating
So what packge should I disable to prevent galaxy themes updating?

Not 100% sure what you are asking. Without being rooted installing custom themes not from the store is buggy at best. You are saying wallpapers though & a wallpaper you can install yourself regardless. So I assume you are referring to applying some themes you had installed.
Unless something broke with applying wallpapers. Did you try to find the wallpapers yourself with gallery or file explorer app & apply them that way?

New theme store has menu to hide your installed themes, wallpapers, icons and AODs.
In theme store, go to My Stuff.
Don't enable data or wifi when you want to open theme store so updating isn't mandatory.

I don't think there is any workaround. It is mandatory to update once phone detects data or wifi. Same thing with Galaxy Store.
Just disable data or wifi before you open theme store.

Multi Wallpaper and few questions

Hi to all
I have note 8 without root, and I have few questions hopping you can help.
1) I try to find a way to use multi wallpapers to all of my home screens. All the apps in google play are old, without updates for years. There is any launcher that support it?
2) I looking for launcher with full customization but with a possibility to keep the lock screen from the theme I bought from Samsung store. For years I only use go launcher and there is no way to keep the lock screen of the theme.
3) I use Wings Samsung Fonts, and I wonder why not all the fonts are changed? there is any way to changed them all?
4) There is any way to changed fonts and color of specific apps? I used fonter years ago, but it needs root.
Thank you

STEP 3>>
Install the new ONE Ui launcher after installing app cloner/ or
Alternate option** Normal install one ui launcher from link, without APP CLONER
Latest One UI Which can be installed with app CLONER attached here
Apk for the ALTERNATE pie version(install as normal apk) in post #6
HOW TO USE
Go to settings--apps-- default apps--homescreen--change to new one

UPDATE 3/12/2018- LATEST One UI launcher APK attached-Experience Launcher has got updated to ONE UI launcher now- works ONLY WITH APP CLONER
APP CLONER REQUIRED FOR INSTALLING THE LATEST ONE UI HOME APK PROVIDED BY ME
HOW TO USE APP CLONER--- Install apk From website -- open app-- apk(second column), click the + sign(blue icon) on lower right side-- from file-- browse to find the apks provided by me.*
Then click the tick sign, it will clone and then install it.
App cloner link
https://appcloner.app/
APP CLONER basically clones the app so that apps which are compatible with your system but can't be installed, work fine.
If you're not interested in app CLONER, normal install the other launcher from link and use.

Finally, if you liked the new look, don't forget to put a thumbs up for this post
**SHORTCUT-- FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO INSTALL MORE THAN 3-4 APKS **
Install the 5 files from links- launcher, theme file, goodlock ,substratum with left clock- that will be enough for giving the ONE UI look(you will get the EXACT look given in first post screenshots, leaving aside the native Samsung pie apps)
You can even leave the substratum and left clock if you don't need left clock- that will reduce it to JUST 3 APKS to install
The other weather, dialer etc are pie apps and you don't necessarily need them- just that if you need entirely pie apps running on your Oreo Device with the pie experience.*
This will take very few minutes and done!- you have the one ui look!
Finally, if you liked the new look, don't forget to put a thumbs up for this post

I did the same thing a couple of weeks ago, but i just cant manage to get the rounded notifications on the status bar drawer like yours. mine just scramble with some ****ty background colour, especially when i have a white app behind it.
Try uninstalling the themes and reinstalling
Faced the same problem and did it ,got resolved.

The alternative is to use The theme v3 day, then use Swift installer, change apps to black amoled, and the rest of the tweaks in Swift installer too- like use material theme and even transparency of the pull down notif.
Will try that. ?
Never tried the swift installer

The browser also has modes to hide status bar which actually helps us use the entire screen for browsing?

Yes. It's just that the whole idea of one uinis to move important elements to he button. And I don't know but I think the address bar is very important and almost out of reach even for my big hands.
I can't get notifications on this launcher

Why is that?

Replace icons on stock launcher

Last year I was able to change the icons on stock touchwiz launcher on my S10 ( which I already sold ) using icon packs from playstore.
I've actually forgotten where the tutorial for that process is and have used google to search but not having any luck. If I'm not mistaken, it was from a xda thread.
If somebody knows or any other way of installing icon packs without using 3rd party launcher, your help is much appreciated.
Thanks
wat?! One UI can change icon without 3rd party launcher
There are icon packs in the Galaxy Store. You enter the Galaxy store, on the bottom menu bar select My Galaxy and there you have all the icon packs. Like hundreds of icon packs.

Yep. Are you a first time samsung user?
Found what I was looking for, but unfortunately it looks like support is only up to Android 9 which the S10 came with.
Update: Still works with Android 10 and as far as I can tell will support the upcoming Android 11 according to the devs. But can't make it work on mine because I'm enrolled with Google's Advance Protection.
Try searching hex installer in the play store. It lets you customize icon shapes and what not and existing themes as well from the Galaxy store - all while using the stock launcher. I'm using hex with the pixelize theme and it's working great! Hope this helps!

It's all you need.
Choose theme (the native high contrast ones work well)>choose Galaxy store icon pack>pick a wallpaper you like.
Use the Galaxy store Goodlock family of apps including One handed Operation plus for even more customization options.
No 3rd party launcher needed... or even desirable. One UI is an excellent launcher.

Question Cinematic Wallpapers

Hi
I tried to do my own cinematic wallpaper after June update but it doesn't work on my Pixel 7. I do everything as is described but I haven't small button with stars. What's going on?

Need to get a server side update before it will work. Slowly rolling out...
All feature drop updates aren't rolling out on the go, even though you have the June feature drop update installed. It will come with an app update.

For ANYONE experiencing this issue, go to the app info for "Wallpaper & Styles app, & Google / pixel wallpaper images" app. .
Click the 3 button menu at top right of app info, click "uninstall updates", and it will instantly appear"
Many ppl sideload the beta wallpaper & styles app, n ESPECIALLY Google/Pixel wallpaper images, (I updated my 6a with the Pixel wallpaper images app from 7 and 7a to replace my Nature swept walls with the newer feathers walls,) before the June update, and after the reboot, I was missing emoji/cinematic wallpapers as well.
Soon as I uninstalled updates back 2 the factory version, everything appeared as it should

Sorry this doesn't work for me.
Had to 'show system apps' for it to appear and the only option I get is disable or force stop.
This is on a stock Pixel 7.
Maybe as you sideloaded the app it give you the option to uninstall.
Have to wait for it to update.
The Emoji wallpaper does work, and with the cinematic bit, just not user wallpapers

Look under show system once your in the app info section, and find Google Wallpaper Images.. uninstall updates... That's what worked for me.
The app itself is located in product/ app
I found it but it is impossible to uninstall updates. I haven't this option.

The option pops up when you tip on the three dots on the top right corner of the "App Info"->"Google Wallpaper Screen" (german name: "Emoji-Workshop: Hintergrund").
I sideloaded the App update as well and it did not work but after uninstalling the updates as described it updated itself in < 24h after a reboot.
You do not need to be logged in into the play store but the play store app has to be activated.
