Is there a way to download the official themes manager? I'm not sure why there is no option to choose and apply themes?

Can't sideload any system apps unfortunately.
I think it's not available due to many themes not being optimised for tablet.
I ended up downloading the themes app via a third party app store through Firefox and got the same message. I then switched off miui optimisation and I think that is why it installed and it now appears at the bottom of the wallpaper and personalisation menu in the settings.

Yeah that works but no tablet optimisation. It put wallpapers menu in portrait for me. Had to delete.
Ah yes this happens to me too, strange how there is no themes app though.

Hi Guys,
I am looking at a good way to hide apps from the list. I want the apps to be able to run (like Email) and do the sync, but not to display the icons in the list. I have seen that ICS comes with a "Disable" function for system apps, but it doesn't work for me because it also prevents the app from running.
I also want a way to launch the apps myself (through a hidden menu or command) at will.
I have tried things like Application Protection, which allows you to password protect the apps you want. However, since the icons are still there, it is still tempting for my kind to click and ask for the password.
Thoughts?

Hi Mr. Indigo,
Where do I get the latest version of HeLauncher? What are other similar ones?
Will that change the UI of my phone? I love stock ICS UI..

Yes, will.
My friend installed on my phone. But you can found another launcher who does the same thing. Then, go to Settings -> Applications -> Quick Start and see the shortcut!

Thank you. I found the Apex Launcher, and that is accomplishing what I need. (A mix of hiding apps + launching apps through gestures).
GoLauncher also supports the hiding feature.
For running the app even though it is hidden you can put them on a (home)screen or folder before you hide them from the app launcher. They will of course still be there after you hid these apps from the launcher.
Have fun! :victory:
hi
is there anyway to do above without launcher?
i mean hide them while they also keep running but not using launcher?
Hi guys. My first thread here and it's a problem.
I just bought my HDX 8.9, and installed apps from outside the amazon appstore. I did it through a alternative market, transfered form my PC or by bluetooth with my phone.
The problem is that after i installed any of them, they doesn't appear on the APP drawer, the only apps that still there are the amazon appstore ones. And i checked Cloud and Device tab and nothing.
I can only access to them by EFS Explorer, and that's annoying.
Its still happens before and after rooting the HDX, so i think rooting is not the problem.
I don't know what to do, i googled the issue and there's not info about it
Cheers and thanks!
Forgive me if I misunderstand, but are you talking about the home screen or after pressing Apps from the Home screen? The apps screen should show everything you have installed. The pull out drawer shows only the last apps you opened similar to the carousel at the top if the Home Screen.
To add apps to the Home Screen, open the Apps screen and long press on the app you want and select Add to Home.
edit: after reading your question again, I see that it is the app screen you're having problems with. I have not seen that problem. You might try reinstalling the downloaded app.

Exactly the app doesn't show up on the home screen and neither on the app menu.
I only can acces to them when i open ES Explorer > App Managament. There i can open them.
And yes i installed and reinstalled them, and the problem still.
It's sooo weird.
Maybe is the Mojito OS
When I install a sideloaded APK or install using 1Mobile, the app icon does not automatically appear on my home screen carousel. I have to go to the apps tab, then select "on device", then launch the app from there the first time. After that the icon appears on the carousel. Hope that helps.

I think it's "add to home" but yeah, that's what I do.
Icons like a bit crappy a they're massively scaled, but they do show.

Guys, read again. The icons doesn't even appear on the "on device" list.
I can only access to them by ES Explorer > Apps Management.

It only show me the amazon apps only, and the suggested one from the market.
Like i said, i don't have any clue why this is happening to me. It's super weird.
Man, this is really weird... What if you get to the app manager where all the apps are listed (including the system apps). Don't remember how I got there but you could try to install let's say Nova launcher and access the apps from there..
You did set the trusted sources or what's it called to no didn't you? (I think there are like 2 switches for that in preferences. Don't have the device here right now in order to check)

It worked by using Nova Launcher!!! Now i can acces to all my apps and put them on the home screen!
Sadly that all look so small. It's like a phone setting.
¿There's any tablet version of Nova Launcher?
It so weird, it's like my Kindle default launcher it's bugged for not let me see my external apps.

Yes, that's the problem with other launchers and the kindle. Unfortunately they don't work as they should. No widgets, no background etc. Buzz launcher has also worked for me but don't expect much either... Your problem is really odd though and we should try find an other solution

Yeah it is.
But atm i can live by replacing the launcher. It patch the my main issue.
I will keep it like this until a custom rom appears.
Btw. Any good alternative market with a good update pace? Now I'm using 1mobilmarket.

1 mobile is good I use it too. You can use the 'forbidden' markets as well, since they offer also some free versions of the apps. You can Google the apps you want too. Many of them (if not all) can be found on the web or the developers homepage for direct download. Otherwise you could try to use apk extractor from play store. Put it on your phone, extract the app Sent it to your mail and install it to your Kindle. (not tested myself but it should work flawlessly)

Hey.
Is there anyone wanting to partner/ help in building or wanting to build a cool Stock Android like MIUI Theme?
I really love stock Android and seems like lots of others would too!
Stock Boot Logo,
Dark Or Light colour combinations options,
App Icons as they're designed by the Developer,
Cool AF!
Looking forward to it!
right bro i also want

there's already an android N theme
I have done it this way on my phone to give the best possible experience as the Android N theme on MIUI store seems so fake.
1. Install Google Now launcher (this is more authentic than Nova launcher but Nova gives you so many more options, plus Google Now launcher has OK Google voice command)
2. Install Android N theme from the Mi theme store. This will change the colour of the system UI. This means the pull down menu, toggles etc.
3. Now for the icons, install "awesome icons" from the play store . this lets you choose the required icons for each program that you want to change. The program is very self explanatory. Install an icon pack if required so that you will be then able to use the icon pack icons also.
Hit thanks if I helped.

Bruh, Nova Has it all.
For the icons please just get the stock ones from Google!
Sorry, i am just too lazy right now...
Aye, can someone help me out to get me started with making some themes?
This MIUI Theme thingy is not working for me.
As in whenever I use it and try to edit the Home screens and Contacts Screens and all, it's just a blank white screen.
I can majorly only change icons in the theme.
Help!

There is so many ROMs on development section.
Here is mine using official CM13 + Xposed
Big icons
When using Nova launcher , thr is no widget for clock app available..
Is thrre.any way to reduce the size of stock miui 8 icons, it looks too big
I liked the Android N miui theme a lot, especially the messaging app and the dialer. I can't find anything to theme them the same way on CM13, would you know any theme like that?
Hi, i am aware that hidden applications menu gone with Emui 8.
When you are using home screen with app drawer option, is there a way to hide apps or even lock app drawer with fingerprint?
Use this app. It allows you to enable the hidden app menu gesture again.

Yes. That screenshot was from my phone. Hidden app gesture works fine on my Mate 10. I installed the app from the app store so try that and not the pc tool.
Ok, thank you very much @tboy2000, i will try with app from play store then.
One more quick question pls; hidden application menu can be used with homescreen drawer style also or only available with standart (all icons on homescreen) style?

I've tried both, and hiding apps only seems to work on the standard home screen. I can't figure out how to hide (if it even is possible) in the drawer style...

I am totally with you, i am coming from 3 years old phone and i was able to do it easily.

Use Nova Launcher (I use Prime version...worth every small penny) and you can hide apps in drawer.
This worked for me after a few tries (did enable option in tweaker tool, but may not be needed) :

Hi,
Is there a way to use the oneui of 3.1 on our phones using oneui 3.0?
I want it so much for being able to use google discover instead of the samsung daily.
I know there are 3rd party launchers and are pretty good but do not work well with android 10 gestures (back,home,recent) on samsung.
Btw, i tried to download the oneui home apk from apkmirror, it fails to install.
I got the app to install using app cloner but unfortunately the home screen crashed. The app switcher screen did work though. The app switcher now has a blurred wallpaper background.

Just cloned it with default settings. Launch it and let it crash. Clear data and let it crash again. Then clear data again and this time grant all permissions. And launch and hopefully it won't crash.
I used this method to get one ui 2.0 launcher on one ui 1.0 Galaxy s8.
