Hi.
I am back after some while with new device Note 4.
I flashed MyaROM in order to get rid of the eyeburning white UI,using S6 theme engine.
Themes now work and I am a bit closer to be satisfied with Lollipop.
However,I dislike the flat material design at all,what I liked is theming of my old Note 1,with nice,eye candy design and dark backgrounds,icons,shadings,S-note,S-planner,etc.
So my question is,if there is any way to get old Samsung icons,toggles and InCallUI design to put into my Note 4(5)?
The most important things for me are the new InCallUI,S-Note and S-Planner,where nothing is in place as before and it burns my eyes,even tough I use dark themes everywhere possible.
Thank you,Tomas.

Hi i was just wondering if someone may design a death note (the anime) theme but i'd like the battery to have the numbers kinda like the theme colormod
The icons i'd like to look like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691497
It would be really really awesome if someone could make a splash screen of like the Death Note with the android on the cover and a boot animation of Kira writing names on it.
Hello there!
Please, can anyone tell me if it is possible to change to look of my S5 device, to look like an S4 on KitKat?
My first Andorid phone was the Galaxy S3 because I was in love with TouchWiz. I dislike the way stock Android looks.
I was not a Samsung fan, previously I had a Samsung Omnia because I liked the design and being a Microsoft fan, I bought it, but never liked TouchWiz there... I imediately disabled it and left the default Windows Mobile look. When Microsoft went to Windows Phone 7 and so, I've cosidered going to Andorid. I don't like Apple because all icons follows the same square rounded pattern. I like the icons to be different like on Microsoft Windows, so not all icons to be in a circle or square, or other geometric form.
When I bought the S5 I was a little dissapointed because the TouchWiz was changing into bad lookings but with Lollipop... awwwww!
I dislike the new Contacts App with those small circles for pictures... Sincerelly I love my wife S4 i9506. I've decided not to upgrade her to Lollipop, to make her phone uglly like mine.
So, is there a possiblility to run a version of Lollipop or KitKat on S5 while having a look of an S4? Even if the menu and home keys will behave like they normaly do on S5.
Thank you!
Mods and cyanogen while using themes. There is not other way
Bad taste
A taste is a taste. Well, if it happens that you like Sotck Android, then, you may have a "bad taste" Come on! Every people I talked with, having a Galaxy S5, don't like the way Lollipop looks at all.

Are you more familiar or wanted to have Apple products? I dislike Lollopop becuase black used to look better on amoled displays. Other things that I'm not likeing on Lollipop are those bright colors, the white baground when opening calls, having no button delimiters on phonedialer and the most anyoing one for me... the Contacts app which have those small circled pictures. Oh... let's say being clircles, let's say ok, even if I still don't like the ideea, but they are too small on Samsung firmware. They are a little bigger on let's say LG G3s.
Anyway, no matter what you say... S4 on KitKat looks A LOT BETTER than the Lollipop UGLYNESS!
I'm on Lollipop from January but I cannot accept its stupid GUI. Well, I'm a graphic designer, I know that these days we've embraced this flat, simple ugly things that Microsoft started with Windows 8 and Google and others followed their stupidity with "Material Design"
Are you comfortable in your own skin? Is your phone comfortable in its skin? Rate this thread to express how you deem the skin on the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. A higher rating indicates that you love it: it adds just the right amount of features, it's visually pleasing, and overall it's additive to the experience. If this is a Nexus phone (you didn't think we hand-wrote all of these prompts, did you?) then use this rating to indicate how the latest version of Android looks to you.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Icons are a bit boring, side panels need more work and you cannot create your own themes.
I'm a Nova user but so far I'm on board for TouchWiz. I applied some basic themes (Vanilla, Android 6.0) and those assuaged any issues I had with the skin/icons. I also realized you still keep Samsung Pay and Edge panels even using another launcher so for me that's another nod to TW/Samsung for not hiding killer features while using another launcher. The Settings UI is much better and easier to digest. All the gimmicky "s" modes are gone or buried away from the Quick Settings. So I could roll either way. Overall I'd give this high marks knowing if I get bored I can always go back Nova.
Tolerable after disabling bloat.
touchwiz is better, but still not as good as nova. putting nova prime on it, and a new darker theme, this thing is slick. i love it. but i absolutely HATE the new, so called security feature, that makes you put in your password after a reboot, instead of just allowing you to use fingerprints. i mean, that's why we setup fingerprints, and i'm yet to understand how typing in your password in front of strangers is more secure than just using your fingerprint?
ive never disliked tw and don't understand why prefer opted for vanilla android, i mean N is only now bringing features that samsung phones have had for literally, years.
design is mediocre
not much change from samsung n8010 ui
as soon as root possible without losing any abilities/priviledges including google pay, samsung pay & my knox
Its a lil boring but better than ios. Looking forward to N.
The only bad thing with this year's Samsung skin is that we will recieve android 7 later. But we already have android n features like split screen view,clear all...touchwiz is full of features and that's why i like it. I don't care if i will have a 5k boost in score on antutu if i only have my phone to call and message people. Touchwiz is awesome.
Again,the only bad thing is that the devs need a lot of time to skin newer versions of android
I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet, but the emojis for the S7E are IMO hideous (not stock Android) and impossible to change without rooting and voiding your warranty.
I can't link to them, but you can easily find them yourself and see if they fit your style.
I use Nova Prime and bought a custom TW theme from the theme store to give me the look I want in SystemUI, Phone, Messages, and such. I use a Cobalt Icon set, and custom wallpapers. It's very tolerable with this setup.

That's an Android thing now not a Samsung or TW thing. It does that on both my S7E and Nexus 6P.

My post was back in March, I bought a Note 7 but after the recall I am now back with the S7 Edge and it's much better now, especially with theming
.
The camera features are very difficult to access, thanks to the tiny buttons which fail to register everytime unless you are a sharp 'shooter' with your thumb. I wish they increase the size of in-camera buttons such as that of Large Eyes, Manual Focus arrows, etc. What do you all think of this?
Now that the Galaxy Note 7 is out (they skipped 6 I guess?) I'm looking to finally upgrade from my Note 2. I have my eyes set on the Note 4 since it's not too different from the Note 5 but it's more versatile. My only issue with the Note 4 is the lack of dark theme, and this is actually extremely important to me. I want to know if there's a way I can potentially change the theme to dark without rooting my phone, but if I have to root I'd also like to know what would have the least impact on performance. My carrier is Verizon, if that makes a difference on what model; though I haven't bought the new phone yet.
To summarize, I'm looking for a theme that:
turns all menus dark or black
preferably doesn't require rooting
doesn't impact performance
retains S pen functionality
Thanks!
I think you do need root to change themes since note 4 doesn't have the options to change themes like the newer models.

I haven't used a launcher before, would that possibly do it? Or would it not change everything?
Im not sure if some launcher can change the colors of the menus. Try install themer on playstore that might help you start.

U need to flash a cm rom to get dark themes as most TW devs have awful taste or maybe I have an awful taste as I strongly dislike/hate white stock theme

You have to root.
but by using Xposed you can theme it to almost be black, using a few modules.
Plus with xposed you can do so much more other than save battery.
And all this will not effect your spen and other samsung app.

Do you have a link to that? I'm new to modding phones so I do appreciate the help a ton. A lot of this seems pretty overwhelming.
If your new to it I would say don't do it. You need to know what your doing before going into it.
Main things to do
- Deodex your stock rom (or get one already deodexed)
- Get the right xposed installler and app
- Get twrp or other custom recovery installed.
I don't have the links and process is a bit tricky.
So first read up on these a lot and make sure you get each thing fully before you do anything.

Hey there.
Is there any chance to get my good old Samsung Galaxy S8 Theme on a Google pixel phone with Android12?
Really, i HATE this new material onegui stuff.
My phone looks like a phone for kids and i don´t really like it anymore since Android 12.
I bought a very nice theme from the galaxy store. It´s still applied on my good old S8 which has a broken display.
Is there a Third party launcher which can apply Samsung Store themes?
When this is not possible:
Can the newest Samsung Phones like the S22 apply old themes from S8?
And do you know any good launcher which looks like the Samsung galaxy launcher?
I search for a Launcher which looks like samsung but which is secure. I´m ready to pay for the launcher, when it is good.
I like to work with folders and multiple screens.
Thank you in advance.
Please help me to like my phone again
Greetings

I will sell this phone.

So harsh. You bought a Pixel phone to apply a Samsung theme on it? Maybe you should adapt your expectation pattern. There are so many ways to customise your device though...
