Hi guys! I've been using Samsung devices for a year or so (Samsung Galaxy S Captivate and now Galaxy Tab 10.1) and I like how TouchWiz look, but I hate how Samsung threw so much green in their blueish theme so I made this mod.
My goal is to take off every green in the TW UX theme and make it blue. This is something I started making for me and I decided to share it with you.
Here's what I achieved so far:
- Themed notification toggles
- Themed wifi in and out icons
- Themed brightness scrubber

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Installation instructions
1. Download the file
2. Extract the content, there's one folder for every apks you need to pull from your tab (As of now there's only SystemUI.apk)
3. Pull the appropriate apks from your tab
4. Make a copy of your stock apks in case something goes wrong
5. Make sure you did the previous step
6. Re-read step 4 and 5
7. Open your apks and copy my images into the appropriate folders
YOU DON'T NEED TO DECOMPILE OR EXTRACT YOUR APK, JUST OPEN IT USING YOUR FAVORITE ARCHIVE MANAGER
8. Push your modified apks to your tab and reboot.
I strongly suggest to reboot in recovery and use adb to push your modified apk
The reason why I use this installation method rather than a flashable zip is that this way, you can apply this mod on any ROM or Build version, as long as you have TouchWiz on your tab.

I havent flashed it yet. I am still enjoying my completely stock Tab at the moment. Perhaps in a couple weeks I will start flashing things onto it.

It doesn't modify anything, only image swapping. You have to modify your own apk so you still have stock. You need to be rooted though.
Thanks looks good, no clue why they didnt match the colors in the first place
I was thinking of doing a theme myself, mostly just changing the background of the settings menu etc, maybe some icons too, just not sure about the amount of work involved
hi froli13,
you have some news for us? I think this is very usefull for the ASOP theme on the sgt10.1. Please more .

Question about adb:
please forget the question. Issue is solved with es explorer and superuser. Thank you for the graphics.
Where can i find the files within my device to edit these?
oh and...does ninjamorph work for this?

The only reason why it wouldn't work is that you did something wrong. It's just some modified images.

and I have done this exact same thing before with my phone. I am new to the tablet, but have made many themes for my HTC Sensation and I have made recovery themes. Those are way more detailed than this is, so Im not sure exactly what I could be doing wrong, which is why I asked for suggestions besides the obvious.

Hey guys, at the end nothing is wrong, it missing something .
I have found and fixed it. Froli you missed the folder drawable-sw600dp-mdpi for the galaxy tab 10.1. So to see in my original SystemUI.apk in the Overcome Rom. <- link
When you copy the same pictures in that folder then it works. Only one or two images are missing. I will report this in 15 minutes. Have to take a look now.
X Minutes later
The missing files are:
1 - quickpanel_icon_airplane_dim.png (uploaded zip file quickpanel_icon_airplane_dim.zip)
2 - the green checker by AUTO setting for brightness
.. - i didn't find it he must be somewhere in \system\framework\res\drawable-mdpi
.. - btn_check_buttonless_on.png or
.. - ic_bullet_key_permission.png
.. - otherwise i don't know for the moment
3 - added the icons for data (quickpanel_icon_ing & quickpanel_icon_data_on in zip quickpanel_icon_ing_and_data.zip)
4 - will check for more, but you users can put a finger on it to let us know which icon is missing or wrong colored for TW
BTW
1 - Here a LINK to calculate and understand chmod better for beginners. Also a online mod calculation can be found there.
2 - froli13 possible we can talk via skype (me = mike2nl)
3 - please report it is working or not
Possible i can do more, but it will be helpfull when froli is OK with that. Possible you user have ideas about it and then we can make it togehter? What do you think about it?...

So i found one i liked and installed it.. But now nothing works.. None of the HTC Widgets will Work. and I cannot Long Press on the screen to put widgets on the screen.
And When I use the menu and goto personalize and browse for htc widgets rosie force closes.
Im trying to install the StockWhite .. I thought I had a 4x5 Setup. But Im going ahead an trying the non 4x5 to see if that fixes it.
You just need to change one image in drawable-hdpi its the first image if your looking at it in alphabetical order. Either use to program to make it transparent or find a clock that already has a transparent background and just copy that in to the apk then push it back to your phone.

The older clock widgets don't work properly on the new framework found on the ThunderBolt, which is why I haven't made all of my clocks available by saying they were compatible yet.
What you want to do is take a look at the htcclockwidget.apk using 7zip.
You can download my restore for Tbolt in my themes thread here in the Tbolt section.
Download it twice. Use one as your main backup, and one as your mod test.
The one we are going to use as your mod test, we are going to open up using 7zip, open the .zip until you get to system/app/ the apk is in this folder. Open the .apk in 7zip and this is the graphic we want to replace, "clock_add_weather_base.png" it will be located in this location: (see attachment)
All you gotta do is either right click and do "open outside" do what you want with the graphic or just replace it with a opacity of ZERO and the background will be gone.
To make it easier, I have included the transparent graphic. Just drag and drop into the same window shown in the attachment photo, and 7zip will ask to update, click yes. click all the way back until your out of the .zip. and then your done, use the .zip to install via clockworkmod recovery and boom, its gone!
Your welcome
P.S. Here's a .zip update instead if all that is too complicated.
Just copy this to the SD card, reboot into recovery, mount your system first, and do install from sd card. and then once its done, reboot.

OK so Now I have a few questions lol
So I made some changes and such as described above. And Installed the Zip via clockwork.. says it installed
But I still have the same clock? so I deleted it and put it back and its still there with none of the changes. Not even the change you put in for the transparent background.
what Did I do wrong?
** Oh and I also tried it with no changes at all just the zip you provided incase i did something wrong.. and it still doesn't show?
----
Opps I Figured it out.. i wasnt Mounting the /system before installing Works great now haha My bad.
OK here is my home screen. My next question is how do I change the font color on the clock widget. And is it possible to make the weather smaller?

decompiling... done
OK So Ive learned how to use apktool
Done.. got it all de-compiled..
But now what do I edit to do what im wanting. there are so many xml file.. guess its just a hunt to find? and trial and error to know whats what?
How do you make the clocks white background with the numbers transparent? I would just like to have a white outline and text for the flip clock?
I tried the zip a couple times on BAMF 1.4 and BAMF demix and it doesn't change my clock, no transparent clock... I dunno why.

Disclaimer zero: I assume no responsibility for any damage to your device as a direct or indirect result of using these files. You should not flash anything from anyone, unless you know what you're doing and have some way of going back to the way things were.
In essence: Please take the time to understand what software-version you're on and what you're flashing over it. In particular please be aware, that if you flash a Mod for a stock, odexed ROM over a deodexed ROM like BroodComb or vice versa, bad things will happen.
Also if you flash a 3G XWKG9 Mod over a WiFi UEKME ROM, or vice versa, bad things will happen. You get the picture...if you don't, don't blame me
Downloads
Search the thread or the download section of my website. Fortunately I've been quite meticulous about keeping 3G and WiFi builds apart
"What's done?"
- Wi-Fi icons
- Signal icons w/ connection types
- Quickpanel icons
- Battery icons w/ 1% increments
- Battery % text label removed from quickpanel, as having battery % icons and battery % text seems redundant.
- Back/Home/Recent/Menu/Screenshot changed to desaturated stock.
- Various color adjustments
- AOSP (=lockscreen) clock implemented and color adjusted.
"What isn't done...?"
- Nothing really, except constant reorganizing to keep up with the glorious, evolving mess that is Samsung's progress toward a seemingly unified framework ressource across all remotely similar devices.
"Can you make this work on (...) ?"
I can typically build on any unmodified framework, but I need the following files...
/system/app/SystemUI.apk
/system/framework/framework-res.apk
/system/framework/twframework-res.apk
You can pull them via adb if it's a stock ROM or extract them from the ROM.zip, if it's a CWM flashable.
The technical specifics of how to install the SDK, set up adb and so on are outside the scope of this thread
Disclaimer one: I typically won't build for individual users' frameworks, unless special circumstances apply. I have a family and a fulltime++ job to take care of too
I think it looks great, haven't rooted yet though. Only a matter of time.
This looks awesome man! Downloading Now!!
Dude this looks awesome. You should get together with Task650 when he gets back from doing life stuff. I would love to see this on his deodexed UKEME ROM (Which I currently run). Plus I think your two themeing minds could put out some mind bending stuff.
Really like that, any chance for kmb?

Or the newest, KME? This looks awesome, excited to see how these turn out for the SGT10.1 considering I've had / have these on all my phones!
So.. the idiot that I am, I flashed this on the KME ROM and now my status bar is gone. I've tried wiping data and cache and reflashing KME, but it is still gone. Any tips on how to get it back without using ODIN to go back to stock? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I guess. I need zee files - and a link to the ROM they're for (mostly to see if they're odexed or deodexed)
/system/app/SystemUI.apk
/system/framework/framework-res.apk
/system/framework/twframework-res.apk
You can get them via adb pull or by extracting them from your ROM's flashable zip, if it's a CWM-rom.
This sort of mishap could actually be easily avoided, if I could just build a backup routine into my install script to do something like this
(pseudo code)
Mount system
Mount sdcard
check if backupfiles exist:
sdcard/circlesmodbackup/SystemUI.apk
sdcard/circlesmodbackup/framework-res.apk
- if yes, restore to /system/app/SystemUI.apk and /system/framework/framework-res.apk
- if no, back up ...
/system/app/SystemUI.apk to sdcard/circlesmodbackup/SystemUI.apk
/system/framework/framework-res.apk to sdcard/circlesmodbackup/framework-res.apk
... and flash my Mod.
I just can't find a comprehensive Edify reference guide anywhere.
awesome. Is that possible just to have the battery percentage ...
Um can you please make this flashable for people on rooted, deodexed ROMs like Caulkins, etc...
Please? I would use it in a heartbeat.

Isn't it best to use the latest ROM out there for the GT7510? UEKME is newer than UEKMB:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227800
To suit everyone's tastes, I guess you would want to use the stock one, without any theming already done to it, but how can this be incorporated into the combination of Task650's UEKME and his Fire Glow theme from this thread? Personally, that's what I'm using and like it a lot, but the battery icon only works in the Fire Glow when unplugged - when charging, it goes back to the factory blue. Also, have you had any luck theming the Touchwiz themed clock on the taskbar? That's apparently a really difficult issue for those who have tried so far and it definitely doesn't look complete without that being done as well....

It would be great if it could be flashed for both, since people may or may not want that green glow theme and launcher changes that come with task's ROM. Can't you prepare a flashable zip to theme over any of these?
And would there be any way to also have the task bar be the black version among your other PNG circle changes? Would be PERFECT.
task's rom is awesome. i use it with hc stock rom provided by task in his theme thread.
it would be nice to see circles mod for task's rom!
Port this to Doc's ROM and make the bar black instead of gray and it'll be perfect make sure it doesn't have that gray line at the top of the status bar, some mods made it black with a gray line over it. The Bar Mods here are good, especially the last one. Try something like that? Good work

I gave it a shot but came across issues with Task650's KME. I downloaded the "Customized & Tweaked" version and made my changes, but SystemUI.apk wouldn't compile, reporting multiple nine patch errors.
At first I assumed I had f*'d something up, but at a second glance there are several instances of bad image ressources. Like a bunch of invalid or 0-byte .9's and instances of the same ressource being present as both .png and .9.png (at which point compile most certainly would fail).
Bottom line is that if I decompile SystemUI.apk and compile it right back without any changes, it should work, but it fails, and there isn't anything (within reason ) I can do about that.
I can't do a hack'n'slash job with WinZip, because I need the decompiled xml in SystemUI.apk to change a few icon sizes and stuff like that, so...no luck
Hello community!
Intro:
You may not know it, but Samsung(and maybe every popular Android phone manufacturers) has a ready-to-use Light theme "pre-installed" in our devices, not only the Galaxy S Advance of course, this theme probably exists in every latest firmware for Galaxies from Samsung, including Galaxy SIII, Galaxy S2 and many more I guess, the Galaxy S4 is not an exception, which also comes in the Light version already set. I found a way to switch in this light version, and it's VERY easy. Maybe newbie-friendly too. Ok maybe not so easy but it still is as simple as adding a word. Literally, it's only adding a word! Read the "Notes:" sections at the end of the post before doing anything.
Getting to the point:
These themes exist in the framework-res.apk, specifically, in the /res/values/styles.xml
You will find different themes in there including Google's "Holo(.Dark)" and "Holo.Light". These are the basic ones, which will be used by almost every application that does NOT have it's own skin, so these applications will use the either Holo(Dark) or Holo Light.
There are three(I think) more basic themes in there including the stock Android, this one is based on Gingerbread I guess.
The other two are the Device Default and Device Default Light. These two are the ones that a manufacturer, like Samsung, can edit to give it's devices a custom and unique style.
A stock application that comes pre-installed in the software(Like SecSettings.apk, MusicPlayer.apk e.t.c.) will probably use either the Device Default or Device Default Light. This is up to the manufacturer to choose. In our case, Samsung has set most of it's applications to use the Device Default.
A small "What I am talking about":
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How to set the Light theme to an application:
Requirements:
The application which you want to change it's theme. (I will use SecSettings.apk as an example)
apk-tool (I use APK Multi-Tool because it's very easy to use)
Notepad++
Know how to decompile/recompile
Instructions:
Decompile the .apk.
Go to "/res/values/" folder and open the file "styles.xml" with Notepad++.
Click "Find" or press "Ctrl+F".
In the "Find What :" box enter "DeviceDefault" and hit next.
Check the first result you get, mine was this:
Now, copy this ".Light" (without the "), this is the magic word!
You will paste this exactly after every "[email protected]*android:style/blabla.DeviceDefault
Like the image below:
Even if there is something after the DeviceDefault like this:
You will still paste the ".Light" exactly after the DeviceDefault like the image below:
Make sure to paste it ONLY in "parent=" lines, and in EVERY "parent=" lines. There are exceptions though, based on the .app. But don't get confused, even if you make a mistake, will be able to find it and fix it later. For now just continue the "paste" process.
Once you have finished the "paste" process, save the file and overwrite the old one.
Recompile the .apk.
That's it! Copy the .apk on your phone, place it where it belongs and set the right permissions.
Reboot, open the application, and take a taste of a light UI that your phone's manufacturer had hidden from you.
Notes:
1. I don't even know if other manufacturers like Sony do this too. If yes, then this tutorial will work for these phones too, probably.
2. Don't try this on framework-res.apk. framework-res.apk can be used too for you to change your theme to Light, but it will probably cause many graphical errors. And it also requires a different way to change the theme. I have tried it and got both good and bad results, check the second post for more information.
3. If you tried and had any errors I could use a hand, just post your compile log and myself and maybe some other people will help you if we can.
4. Modifying the framework-res.apk in a proper way will allow every stock application to be themed without having someone to edit them. Again check the second post.
5. If you find something confusing you can freely ask by posting here.
6. I am not sure about everything that I say in the "Intro:" section. It's just my theory, excuse me if I'm wrong.
7. These themes are the main reason(probably ) for the apps to have both "holo_dark" and "holo_light" variants of .png files and colors. People who have edited SystemUI.apk's and framework-res.apk's "drawable-" folders will understand what I am saying.
Here is a modded framework-res.apk, with this I managed to theme almost every stock Samsung application without editing anything except the framework-res.apk.
I am totally sure that I changed some things without thinking first. The styles.xml is big and I almost got lost. I did everything I could for now, I'm sorry.
You can flash it only on LQB firmwares, maybe only some of them. Check the screenshots to see what I have managed so far. Expect MANY UI bugs.
P.S. It's just for you to see how a Light theme would look. Don't complain about bugs on this, please.
Light Framework
Screenshots:
Great job, Koulis!
Well done!! :good:. Must have taken you quiet some time to find how to do it. :good: :good: :good:
Still people need to understand that this won't magically invert the theme to white... You'll still get loads of UI bugs, which you of course, must fix manually.

Nice mod.
If i want the google default holo theme (like nexus) thenbi should write '.holo dark' instead of '.light'??

I just have one note, to make this much much easier...
When pressing Ctrl+F go the replace tab and on the find space type "DeviceDefault" and on the replace space type "DeviceDefault.Light"... Then press replace all... This should replace everything in one click, I guess.

Thanks for the SCREENSHOTS.
Really useful.
I followed your steps and compiled & decompiled using VTS software. (http://www.virtuous-ten-studio.com/).
Absolutely NO ERROS before after compilation.
After copying the file to /system/app with ROOT EXPLORER (with proper permissions),
When I click SETTINGS ICON - I get a message saying "Apk N't installed".
What could be the reason - any idea???

Did you copy the META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml from the original apk to the new compiled in dist? AFAIK is it like signing. When you try to install by hand do you get a parsing error?

Thanks for the reply!
As you can see from the enclosed screenshots - no problem with the compilation and signing.
VTS is taking care of the same.
What I'm trying to do is copy framework-res.apk, systemui.apk and settings.apk from different custom ROM to current ROM.
No problem in copying and overwriting the original files of current ROM.
TAB works fine.
NO FC's.
Only thing is I'm trying to change LIGHT theme of secsettings.apk to DARK theme.
Either I get APK n't installed or FC (SystemUI.apk etc).
Again If I replace secsettings.apk from CUSTOM ROM to current ROM - works fine. NO FC's.
Might be I need to dig deeper....
This tutorial is for lock screen modification to Nabi 2 NABI2-NV7A US or UK version although only confirmed working with US version. Although the steps would be identical for either version, just don’t have a UK Nabi 2 to test my theory.
I created this thread in hope that if anyone use this tutorial they will provide a picture of lock screen and also share their flashable zip file for the entire Nabi community. If sharing flashable zip files the naming convention has to match the firmware version as I have done below.
A couple of tools & files will be required first and I have provided links to downloads.
• 7-zip
• apkmultitool
• nabi_circle.png
• empty_framework.zip
I will start with the apk multi tool, I have to give kudos to the developer of this tool, super easy to use; if possible consider making a donation and continue supporting the development of this tool. Currently using Windows 7 64 OS so all instructions will be for Window users.
1) After download of tool, extract to the root of C:\
2) Make sure you have USB debugging checked in Nabi found in Settings\Developers options
3) Connect tablet and go C:\ APK-Multi-Tool\setup.bat and follow instruction 1 thru 3
4) After the 3 steps go to C:\ APK-Multi-Tool\other you will find the framework-res.apk & SystemUI.apk
5) Copy and paste framework-res.apk to C:\ APK-Multi-Tool\place-apk-here-for-modding now click the Scipt.bat hit enter; then option 9 Decompile apk
6) Then you will find the decompiled apk in C:\ APK-Multi-Tool\projects
The files to edit with your pictures are found here, go and replace the png files listed below.
C:\APK-Multi-Tool\projects\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-sw600dp-mdpi
A. fuhu_ic_lockscreen_handle_normal.png
B. fuhu_ic_lockscreen_handle_pressed.png
C. nabi_circle.png
D. unlock_directions.png (Optional)
The fuhu_ic_lockscreen_handle_normal.png & fuhu_ic_lockscreen_handle_pressed.png have to be 1024 x 552 px. and they both have to be the same picture.The nabi_circle.png 184 x 238 has to be replaced with a transparent.png for simplicity I have provided a download link to one. Also the unlock_directions.png is optional that file is 120 x 120 px by replacing all these files you can create your own custom lock screen mod. What I did is I renamed all my png files to default names.
If you want to change default wallpaper, which is 1536 x 1024 px
C:\APK-Multi-Tool\projects\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-sw600dp-nodpi
1. After you have edited your files; then enter the cmd and choose option 11 Compile system apk files. Then it will ask if you would like to copy additional files that you didn’t modify from the original apk in order to ensure least # of errors (y/n)
2. Enter y
3. Now go back to C:\APK-Multi-Tool\keep and delete the files you have modified then hit enter
4. You will now find a unsignedframework-res.apk file in C:\ APK-Multi-Tool\place-apk-here-for-modding
5. Place this file in different folder (example minions) rename to framework-res.apk
6. Grab the empty_framework.zip open this with 7-zip without unzipping and drag the framework-res.apk in emty_framework.zip\system\framework\drag here.
If your emty_framework.zip is only showing META-INF folder just click file top left of 7-zip and then "create folder" system repeat again and create framework folder, then open that folder and drag framework-res.apk there. 7-zip will ask are you sure you want to copy file just click yes.
If you want to modify the updater script you can extract into your computer and modify it with notepad and change the name of the lockscreen, this will be able to be read in recovery. If you don’t take this last step it will say “Installing custom lockscreen”. The updater script can be found in
empty_framework.zip\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script

Hi.
I had posted this in one of the general forums since I didn't have access at the time to post in the development forums.. I'll post this here as well now that I can..
Question on the process to change the default kids mode wallpaper in the lockscreen process on the Nabi2's since moving to Jellybean.
katinatez's excellent process for the lock screen portion works fine (THANK YOU for sharing this, BTW)
End result:
I am trying to add a custom wallpaper into the apk when I change the lockscreen.
The file I am targeting is called default_wallpaper_kid.png and it is 1024x552.
The file is located in 2 folders:
framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi
and
framework-res.apk\res\drawable-mdpi
I change these 2 files, recompile and follow the rest of the process as normal. Flash install onto the Nabi2 in TWRP and reboot. I still get the same default blue block kids mode wallpaper.
I've gone back and pulled the framework back off of the Nabi once I did the install and the changed wallpapers are in fact there. I can't figure out where the Nabi is pulling the standard blue block default wallpaper from since I verified that I replaced the files that I thought it should be.
I should note that I had previously changed the wallpaper during another lock screen install, so I'm stumped as to why I'm not able to change it now. And yes, I could just simply copy the wallpaper over to the Nabi and set it as wallpaper from there but it's bugging me as to why the process isn't working.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Someone else asked this question a long time ago. I can't find that answer searching(can't remember enough words from that post), it seems something like it was already cached since it was the apk, so it didn't pick up the change. I can't remember if the solution was to wipe caches or something like that or clear some data in an app in settings. Or maybe neither and I remember nothing..... LOL.
I believe the blue block wallpaper you are talking about, is in fact the NabiMode.apk default wallpaper.
Take the NabiMode.apk decompile & go thru steps replacing with whatever wallpaper you want for kids launcher wallpaper.
You will also find Madagascar wallpaper inside the NabiMode.apk
Good luck
Thanks guys -- I'll try to poke around with it later tonight when I get home.
Appreciate the info.

Thanks!
Well, I pulled NabiMode.apk and decompiled it and found where the kids mode wallpaper is kept. I don't know about tinkering with the apk though as the data/addon_res folders are read only and I'm not sure that I want to get into playing around with figuring out how to push to a read only folder at this point - MUCH easier to just copy the wallpaper over to the Nabi and set it.
Thx guys!

Hi
BIt out of my depth with this but in updating the nabi2 from Jellybean to KitKat the lockscreen changed and it will upset my boy as he has autism. So planning to do this.
FIrstly, the apkmultitool ink seems broken does anyone have it please?
Secondly, I got the original lockscreen download as a zip in another thread from SMcC2 does that mean I can avoid a big bit of this tutorial??
Thank you for any help please.
Alex
Edit: Does me being on kitkat mean none of this will work ?

It works as long as u have installed on your phone any one of the samsung flagship port rom (S6,S7, note 5,7) that has theme option in it.
Galaxy Note 4 - #chevyrhoads Grace port (S7 and Note 7 apps)
I installed this morning and ran the app, created a simple test theme and installed it.
When I go to themes the theme is there named [Dev_Only]Gadget Dark Theme. There are no preview images just broken image placeholders.
I have 3 options: Delete, Purchase, and Trial. Purchase says "This theme is not yet available, please try again later."
If I click on Trial the theme seems to load fine with the options and colors I set up.
Now the real problem...
I decided to load it up and try again thinking maybe it didn't install correctly.The theme installs via adb connection.
I load the program and get a message saying there is a newer version available, with 2 options: Exit and OK.
Exit closes the app and If I click OK it asks me to log in to my Samsung account, I log in and it takes me to a page that says:, "We’re sorry, the requested URL is no longer available: /common/getShortUrlMapping.do"
When I close that page it exits the program.
So frustrated with Samsung!
When this program first came out you had to send a request to Samsung for Dev status. I filled out all of the information and submitted. They emailed me saying that they were sorry but I didn't qualify for their program.
I am not a dev but I have been themeing Android since the Thunderbolt days, at one time I was very active in the Thunderbolt, Incredible, Rezound and S4 boards.
I give up.
Same thing here....
Hello
cool there is a moment that I seek
Thank you
thank you so much !!
good evening an update has arrived a request id is the design samsung suddenly is no longer operational.
Help!!
Hi guys !
YouThat just for you I find the solution.
For those who do not install it install Theme Editor but did not craft before cutting your internet connection.
For others who are already installed then asked that the update uninstall it and remade the installation then utillisation offline.:angel:

You have to theme certain parts in order for the previews to show like phone, contact, etc. I know in the different sections like message it shows preview image. It says DEV_ONLY because you applied theme from your computer. I go to menu and export apk and it creates your theme file and just install apk on phone.
Make sure your theme isn't applied and go to root/data/overlays/jsonfiles/trialjson. You'll see your theme and cut, paste into userjson folder. Then delete preferences folder in root/data/overlays and reboot. Then when you go to apply your theme, you only have the options to apply or delete your theme.
If you turn off wifi when using Samsung mobile theme editor you wont see that update pop up and it wont close on you.
Could someone tell me where to get the wallpaper files and sound files for my themes? Thank you.

Well if it already said update and then you turned off wifi then that's probably why. Before you open Samsung theme editor make sure WiFi is off so it won't run in the background and detect update. Cause as soon as you open it it will say update needed if WiFi wasn't off. Hope this helps!

You upload your own wallpapers in wallpaper section of theme editor. As far as sound files go, I'm not sure. But I'm guessing you have to upload sound files as well. I don't edit that section.

You don't have to uninstall it, just restart computer or better yet stop the application and restart it when WiFi is off.
Also there should be another thread with updated Samsung theme editor.

No problem, maybe someone else will respond with another method. No I haven't updated to windows 10 because I will be getting a new laptop and hardly use it. I was hoping it would work but guess not, it worked for me.
Look around for the newest version. I have the next update from this one but its not the latest. Maybe there's a way to disable updates for it, I would look into that as well.
