Hey everyone, welcome to my thread. I'm hoping to see some familiar faces around here so please pop in and give a quick hello! For those who aren't familiar with me, I've been designing themes for LG for a few years now and have supported devices from the V10, V20, G4, G5, G6, G7, V30 and now I welcome the V40! So the purpose of this thread is to provide support, feedback and have an open channel to communicate with everyone regarding updates, ideas, and give support to those who need it. The only rules are to be kind and do not start or engage in negative discussions. For the most part that seldom happens because that's just not how I do things around here so we shouldn't have to worry about any of that stuff. If someone does come in and rips on one of you or me just report the user and one of our moderators will send them on their way. I encourage people to post their screenshot setups or other things that come from using any of my themes. For example you may have set a custom dpi or something and found it looks really clean. Definitely share that with people here and mention what you set it to be so others can give it a whirl. Now the important part when using any of my themes is to actually read the app description when you're looking at it on Google Play. I often post important information there that you may find useful in order to get the best experience. Also I am very active on Google plus too so be sure to follow my LG themes collection there as I post things there too. Anyway let's get started. This thread will hopefully grow over time, as will this page. I'm taking all the posts on it in the event that I need to post more information about various themes. That's just how I do things. So let's begin. Introducing.....
Pixel Experience Dark
Pixel Experience is a dark theme based on the dark mode of Android Pie. It includes such elements like dark notifications and a floating card style quick settings panel. Please note that some third party apps may not play well with the dark notifications and cause some readability issues depending on your surroundings. While with Android Oreo we cannot correct this on all apps, an installable add-on patch will be made available to give you light notifications while retaining the dark user interface.
Pixel Experience Dark is designed to be a dark but not black theme. You will notice the smooth transition on how it blends into google apps that have dark mode. This was intentionally done and I think it jives quite well with it. You can expect updates to come as required when time permits. Some third party apps will be added over time but any modifications to them will be light adjustments. Unlike Substratum if a third party app updates, you cannot simply disable that particular overlay if the update breaks functionality of the app. You would have to disable the entire theme which is not something that I'm willing to do as it would have strong implications.
This theme includes dynamic, adaptive icons. So you can go into settings, display, home and choose your icons shapes. Notice that you now have an option for circular icons!!!! LG previously does not have this option included but I have added it to the theme so you'll probably want to change your icons to round.
Another favorite thing of mine is to unlock the themes app icon shortcut. You'll notice this present in my screenshots. To enable this you'll need to use something like quick shortcut maker or nova and make an activity shortcut under wallpaper&themes and then set it as a shortcut and you'll have quick access to the themes app.
LG in UX 7/7+ has an interesting functionality where if adaptive/dynamic icons are applied that the LG music app will retain a light navbar and playing now background. It makes no sense why they coded it that way but you'll notice that even on stock theme you cannot alter the navbar background color in that app. You can however use the app navbar apps if it bothers you or you can install the add-on patch will will fix that, but it will also kill the adaptive and dynamic icons and you'll be stuck with all icons having the rounded square look like the stock theme has. This patch will be available soon. If you're using a third party launcher you will definitely want to use this patch.
Light Notification Patches.
So some users may experience issues with some third party apps having black text (which said apps hard coded) on the dark background. This is not something I can fix so if this is something that bother's you then you can install the following patches for light notifications. The entirety of the theme will remain dark except for the notifications. There are 5 apks needed in order to do this. Please follow these steps exactly how I've listed them in order for this to work properly.
Download all 5 patches from this link Here!!!!
Next change to stock theme.
Now install all 5 patches.
Then after you've installed them, apply Pixel Experience Dark (Please note on the rare occasion your SystemUI may FC. Don't panic. Just wait a few seconds and it should be ok)
Next reboot and you should be all set.
If you decided you want to uninstall the light patches and go back to dark you will have to uninstall the entire theme, then reinstall it from Playstore and re-apply it.
Twilight
See bottom of description for Quick Settings Add-on Patches!!!
This is Twilight an LG Home+ theme for your LG V40 or LG G7 running Oreo only (Pie is not yet available on my devices and therefore not yet supported!!!) This theme is a premium quality theme like no other Home theme+. What you see is what you get and that is quality and attention to details! Twilight is a dark theme with bright gradient accents throughout. The app icons have a slight gradient to them, with some more noticeable than others. This theme does not support adaptive icons as some of the key features of this theme are blocked by enabling the adaptive icons. If you'd prefer adaptive you will need to use a third party launcher like Hyperion or Nova.
No need to run a third party theme system any more, just use the system theme chooser and you can enjoy all the benefits of an advanced theme system.
***Third party Quick Settings Icons:
Some apps allow the user to add a shortcut activity to the quick settings panel. This is not supported by this theme whatsoever. If you decided to add any icons to your quick settings panel they will not show up. They will be 100% transparent. They cannot be added. If this bothers you then in a future update I will make an add-on quick settings patch that will add usability back for them, however it will sacrifice the creativity of the current structure of both styles of available quick settings icons. It will be more minimal and all the icons will be the same color like how most themes are. Due to the complexity and advanced nature of this theme this is something that I am aware of and have embraced 100%.
To apply the theme simply go into settings/display and select themes. From there select Twilight, and push apply!
That's it! Simple, easy and quick.
Please note that refunds will not be given for installations on non LG V40 or G7 Oreo Devices. As the title of the theme clearly indicates which device this is for and this app description does specify which OS version is supported..
This theme is also meant to run at the highest resolution, with the lowest stock setting for the actual display size. Larger sizes may cause some elements to look slightly off. If this happens please lower the display sizes of the iconography.
If you run into any issues please send me an email directly instead of leaving a poor rating. Often I am very quick to reply (unless I'm sleeping and you're in a different time zone) and great to solve any issues. The review system is not meant to be a support channel!
Quick tip... Search and install the app "Quick Shortcut Maker" on google play. Install, then long press on your home screen and select the 1x1 quick shortcut maker widget and drag it on your home screen. Then in the activities tab, scroll down to"wallpaper & themes" and expand it. touch 1st option at the top of the list that doesn't have and upwards arrow. Hit Create" button at the bottom and now you have a themes app shortcut you can place on your desktop!!!
Thank you for your support and enjoy theme!!!
This theme as you can see from the screen previews shows two different styles of Quick Settings icons. This is because I designed both styles and had a tough time deciding on which ones to go with so I decided to make them both. The minimal icons are default. However if you wish to change them simply download but do not install (yet) the corresponding patch to the style that you want. After you've downloaded the patch, apply the default LG theme and then install the patch(s). Then reboot and reapply the theme. You will now see a different style. If you wish to change back the original style you can repeat the above process using the other patch. You may be required to reboot again afterwarsd if your notifications have a white background behind them or are not rounded. I've uploaded and clearly labeled both patches. They can be found here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=288986
Thank you so much for your support and I hope you enjoy this theme. I've worked extremely hard on this and by far it was the most challenging and time consuming project I've ever made!
Pixel Experience
This is the Pixel Experience. For those who want to enjoy a lighter theme with minimal, subtle changes that want to be able to set it and forget it without having to worry about constant Google app updates and be able to enjoy the Pixel look. This is for you and you're gonna love it! Enjoy the clean and refreshing look and experience the Pixel!!! #WhiteUiMustLive
Now you probably didn't bother to read that crap above so let's just post some screenshots shall we?
G Theme 3
Click me for Video Promo
t's back!!! This is G Theme 3. Why G Theme you ask? Well I think you can figure that out when you use it what it's all about. This theme is a premium quality theme like no other Home theme+. What you see is what you get and that is quality and attention to details! G Theme 3 is a dark theme with beautiful colors and designs throughout it. The Dark Notifications compliment the ui and battery life! This theme supports adaptive icons and I recommended choosing circle which is unlocked as a feature and can be accessed from going into the settings application and then going into display, home and choose the icon shape. Due to this the music app does have a light overlay at the bottom which is a bug that LG should address!!! For real LG fix that will ya.
Now this is the important part. This theme is only for LG devices running UX 8, Android 9.0 pie. If you are running a different LG UX or android version this will not work and if you upgrade from the above this theme may not work properly. It is presented on an "as is basis". I do my best to try and update to allow for the theme to function on all devices as best I can and as soon as I can. However due to LG's interesting update cycle sometimes one device may update prior to others.
To apply the theme simply go into settings/display and select themes. From there select Twilight, and push apply! then reboot and then reapply the theme again. It's a bit more in depth than other themes but given the complexity of this premium theme it is required for all elements to be themed properly.
That's it! Simple, easy and quick.
If you're using the V40 or any other UX8 device that doesn't have the seamless wallpapers here's a link to one which will change to the one shown in the theme upon applying the theme! For those that do already have seamless wallpapers you will see this new option now available in your list of delectable seamless wallpapers instead of the silly pink one that was previously there.
Seamless Wallpaper right Here!!!
Please note that refunds will not be given for installations on non LG G8 or LG V40, LG 50 UX 8 (running Pie) Devices. As the title of the theme clearly indicates which device this is for and this app description does specify which OS version is supported..
This theme is also meant to run at the highest resolution, with the lowest stock setting for the actual display size. Larger sizes may cause some elements to look slightly off. If this happens please lower the display sizes of the iconography.
If you run into any issues please send me an email directly instead of leaving a poor rating. Often I am very quick to reply and great to solve any issues. The review system is not meant to be a support channel!
Thank you so much for your support and I hope you enjoy this theme. I've worked extremely hard on this and by far it was the most challenging and time consuming project I've ever made!
Rain
This is Rain, an LG Home+ theme for your LG G8, LG V40, LG V50 running Android 9. This theme is a premium quality theme like no other Home theme+. What you see is what you get and that is quality and attention to details! Rain is a dark theme with some bright gradient accents throughout. The Dark Notifications compliment the ui and battery life! The app icons have a slight gradient to them, with some more noticeable than others. This theme does not support adaptive icons as some of the key features of this theme are blocked by enabling the adaptive icons. If you'd prefer adaptive you will need to use a third party launcher like Hyperion or Nova.

To apply the theme simply go into settings/display and select themes. From there select Rain, and push apply! then reboot and then reapply the theme again. It's a bit more in depth than other themes but given the complexity of this premium theme it is required for all elements to be themed properly. Also it is not recommended to "Hide the second screen/notch"'. This may cause some system apps to look odd.
That's it! Simple, easy and quick.
This theme is also meant to run at the highest resolution, with the lowest stock setting for the actual display size. Larger sizes may cause some elements to look slightly off. If this happens please lower the display sizes of the iconography. Also do not hide the notch. That may cause some things to look weird! No fix for that if you do!
If you wish to utilize the seamless wallpapers please install these two apps. Then reapply the theme and you will be able to select them

You bet man! Version 1 should be pretty solid. I'll probably find (or you guys will) a fee things I either forgot to fix it didn't know about but I haven't found anything major yet!
I wanted to get this out though so people would stop trying the GUY version and crashing their system UI! Then my next dark project can get going.
Looove your dark themes with plenty colors
Was a sad moment when I couldn't use your v20 themes (paid for) on this phone, but hay, who said life would be easy
Is it possible to implement the choice to put mixed colors also on the notification/quick menu icons, like in settings?
Keep up the good work

Unfortunately the LG theme system does not have the ability to add something like a users choice of accents. It's an all or nothing thing
Overall, excellent theme, your themes are still my favorite. Found a couple of things. In the stock messaging app, the accents are gold instead of blue. And the navbar is dark on dark in Gmail and chrome. Over than that, it's awesome.

Regarding the navbar did you reboot after you applied the theme and did you manually change it to dark in settings (that needs to happen). I was definitely having that issue as well but fixed it. Hopefully I didn't mess up and upload the wrong app to Google play. Let me know and if I did I can fix that after work
And if you can please email me pics of the msg app. I don't have it on my phone so idk what I can do about it if anything at all

Yes I rebooted and reset the navbar buttons to dark (I had to change it to something else and back). I have rebooted several times since. It seems to be only some Google apps that are effected. I am sending you screen shots now.

No worries, I have the AT&T variant. I am probably 1 of 5 people that use the stock messaging app...I usually use a third party, but I have been using this one so far, it's not bad (I guess...lol).

Hi everyone, I have a p20 lite ane-lx3. Since October security patch update, when I want to apply one theme, the theme doesn't apply properly because the status bar and navigation bar doesn't change :'(
I don't know if I have problems with my phone or huawei quit that feature.. Have you been experiencing this?
Thank you.
PS: I have done two factory reset on the phone.
Did you restart your phone after applying the theme?

Yes, I did but nothing changed. Also I did two factory reset but didn't work :'(
Hmm don't know Bro. Restart after applying theme worked for me. Then the themes loaded correctly.
you should send your phone to repair
I am experiencing the same problem. It seems like the last couple of updates changed some things and that has broken the theming engine. I guess we will just have to wait till the next update where it might get fixed.
even I too want to confirm that there is nothing wrong with the phone. People are not checking their phones properly and are under the impression that their themes are working properly. To know if a theme is working fully, after applying a theme and reboot, check if icons under settings applet have changed or not, check whether status bar icons are changing or not, if having VoLTE connection, check whether its changing to HD instead of VoLTE(applicable for some themes), battery icons and even some apps interface (usually the Calculator).
Currently the only thing that is working is changing of app icons, wallpapers and a few colors like message/sms colors, and nothing else unless you use Xposed to tweak your visuals or some substratum theme engine. Even Huawei too confirmed that their theme engine is broken and they are working on a fix with Android 9 update, but they are clueless about when it will be released for beta testing, but they confirmed that development of emui for p20 lite is on the works and broken themes wont be fixed until l Android 9.
However some noobs are happy that their app icons got changed and are celebrating the fact that theme engine is working properly.
@fbh59
Thnx for the tip. Feeling like a big noob right now.
Never realised that only the dialer, icons and colours changed whilst changing themes.

yes!!! let me attach a theme, kindly test and post your screenshots. I shall show you the difference between your smartphone visuals and that of mine. I can showcase as I am still with September patch. But I am not sure whether I can show the difference as you seem to use P10
Thanks, tested it and only things that don't change are settings menu icons and status bar.
Nice theme, no fan of apple so I'm not going to use it but nice work!!
Huawei Theme Engine Broken
While these are the screen visuals of my screen with an older security patch. I didn't use any substratum theme engine or Xposed tweaks to change the colour within apps like Play Store, VLC. Even Outlook interface was changed to Red instead of usual blue, but couldn't post it due to all confidential items inside it.
P.S: I don't know whats so "apple" in it? I used this theme just for a neat status bar. Used a different theme for app icons. The only thing I had to bear is under software version it shows ios 11 instead of emui 8(but who visits that screen). Lockscreen too can be changed. I might use an app like Theme Editor for EMUI to change status bar icons, but certain things are not changed like displaying HD instead of VoLTE. Copy pasting of this theme's status bar into other themes and building a new theme too does no help.
Hence the problem
Sh*t. I have the same problem with December patch for p20 lite.
App icons are changing but icons on settings are stock icon

Just received EMUI 9.1 (9.1.0.132) and the themes are still broken also did a reset + cleared cache. Is there any other solution?
Huawei themes does not work!
When I enter the app no themes apply
I may have found it, read this:
''We appreciate the feedback and would like to share some background information and clarifications.
The Overlay Manager Service (OMS) is intended for device manufacturer's use. OMS, in its current form, is not designed to be a generic theming feature -- more design considerations will need to be put into it in order to uphold Android platform's security and product standards for users. Accordingly, OMS has never been advocated as a public developer feature.
Earlier this year a security patch (CVE-2017-13263) was released to OEMs for Android Oreo devices. The patch restricts the installation of overlays to pre-installed or system-signed apps, in response to a legitimate security issue raised in Android Oreo. Android Pie also includes this critical security patch, so it restricts overlays in the same way as does Android Oreo.
We understand that custom theming is an important capability for some users. We will take your feedback into consideration with any future work in this area.''

Don't report this to Huawei, they can't do much about it and only Google can, but they have to find a way to get rid of the security issue before making it work again.

Wipe cash partition, every time when you want update...i have same problem and don want to do factory reset...
samsung pushed really an buggy update to users so that they can stop asking about pie timeframe. After updating to Pie s9 is really useless.

Factory reset seems like a huge risk now.I mean what if that doesn't fix the problem and u ll be stuck with a useless phone where u cant download any apps or do anything
Maybe you habe disabled any important System-App for installation. Try to enable all apps and install the Updates again
Put it into battery saving mode...then put it back to normal mode...that usually fixes the no update to playstore ect
so far cleared cache, removed account, still can't seem to update preloaded samsung apps from the galaxy apps store (yes, cleared the app data as well). Google Play Store working fine though...
Update: Seems it was my work wifi, worked at home. Weird
Anyone know how to change the transition effects on the s9+ after the pie update?
Driving me insane trying to find it.
All i've found is a setting to turn it on & off again in biometrics settings! I still can't change what style i want? Any help with this would be very welcomed please.
Also, i want to change the default light to dark theme setting, but it's telling me i can't change it whilst i have a theme on from the theme store! How dumb is that! Good one samsung! I can only have a dark settings theme, without using a theme from your store!! How stupid!!
Anyone got a solution/way round these settings, please comment.

This part actually makes sense. The default theme is probably built so that it can change between both light and dark. Specifically built themes would not have a need for this functionality as the theme is already built the way the themer wanted it to look.

Yes i get that, but It's the "night mode" setting that chages the notifications and settings background, from light to dark that i want to keep dark, when i have a theme from the store set.
I have only managed to find one theme in the store that lets me keep the night mode active. But i am not that keen on it. Just was hoping there was a way to keep the night mode atvive when a theme was set.
Do you know where the transition settings are on pie at all? Want to change the style, but now can't find the setting?

Just apply the default theme and dark mode switch activates. Guess it's not compatible due to Google/Samsung implementation

Thank you for your reply, yes i have noticed that i can change it to dark node ONLY when set to the default theme.
Seems a little silly really, why put that option there & give you the option of changing the theme as well, only to discover, it wont work with a chosen theme!
Like i mentioned, there is one theme i have found that works with night mode, but i'm not to keen on it.
Shame!
Ok so has anyone found the page transition settings yet?
Customisation is key to Android, as everyone knows, but when you are limited to only certain customisations, it kinda defeates the object!?
Hello!
I’m considering buying this phone and I’m heavily into customization, I have a few questions about what you can do to S10 Lite to personalize the experience and how far it’ll let me change things before I have to resort to root or custom ROMs that are risky and missing for now.
First, about the themes, I found two good customization apps for Samsung devices, Good Locks and #hex Installer, can you use together?
What’s the extent of their customization, using both or the best of them if you can only have one working, can you:
1. Have a custom accent color system wide? So the same color for toggles, volume slider, highlights, colored text, notifications, quick settings etc/ like on stock android?
2. Can you change quick settings buttons background shape?
3. Are you able to switch recents view to a vertical stack of cards with the clear button bottom center?
4. Can you change icons for individual apps with stock launcher?
5. Change the navigation bar height, button size and spacing between them?
6. I like two fonts, Ubuntu and Google Product Sans, is any of them available?
7. Where can I check Good Locks availability in my region? Also, can it become unavailable with updates?
8. Do 3rd party customization apps from play store work? Kwgt, Custom Volume Sliders, Custom Navigation Bar etc.?
Next, I have a few questions regarding general usability:
9. Can you get rid of google assistant/bixby? They can be installed, I just don’t want to ever see them or have them running when not launched.
10. Does the Always on Display work well, is it actually always on?
11. Can you have the AoD show 3rd party app icons with a notification counter?
12. Does it have any problems with 3rd party launchers, Nova specifically?
13. Have you tried the Non-root version of YouTube Vanced? Does it work without issues? Can you install it with MicroG and log in?
I’ve also heard that Samsung’s OneUI likes to kill apps and prevent them from running in the background.
14. Did you have any issues with widgets getting stuck, becoming unresponsive, not updating and not working properly in general because they get killed by the system, did you have any issues like this?
15. Did you have any problems with 3rd party app notifications? Are you getting notifications from 3rd party messaging, email and other apps? Do they still come in when the screen is locked and the phone is in deep sleep?
I’m sorry in advance, I know it’s a lot but I’m very used to having the phone set up my way and I don’t want to spend this kind of money only to have to immediately root it or put up with a phone that doesn’t work properly for me.
Lol.. This is huge. I'll reply to some.
7 Good lock is working fine. In my country is not available but no problem. You can download the apk, everything works. If you know what good lock can do, then most of your questions (1,2) are replied as you can change notifications colors etc, at least what good lock is letting you change. Also 3 yes, with good lock.
5 by changing dpi through developer setting you can shrink everything so shrink navigation bar. Other navigation bar apps also works.
8 kwgt etc working fine.
9 yes. Froze them and anythings else you want by package disabler pro app.
10 works fine. You select if you want it or not.
12 nova works fine. I actually can't answer about samsung launcher as i always use nova. If you use it, then most of your questions also being answered as you know what nova can do.
13 yes to all, i use it always. (I use the hacked completely black amoled version, not the gray one, last version).
14 I have a problem actually with 1 widget, eWeather. Is somehow change size some times, and when go to its nova page, it changes ok again.. But i haven't problems with any other.
15 I don't have any problem with notifications but phone is a bit strange. It has 2 deep sleep apps somehow and need to untick the apps you want to have notifications to both of them. It reminds me xiaomi
It is good as due to this probably it has amazing battery. But it is a bit aggressive i think. Some times i lost some notifications but it was probably my fault, I'm not sure. Anyway i don't think there is a problem there. But better have more answers to this.
My opinion is that the phone is fantastic especially in battery, but its all about what everyone needs more.
Perhaps my video there, the comment, some hacks, the description and xda link there may help you, read it. I updating everything useful i find by writing new comments there, so anyone interested check it by time to time. Most things i post there are working to most samsung phones.

Again, I can answer a few. Mine is completely stock (not rooted). I may have needed to change settings when I bought the phone, but I don't recall which ones.
9: I don't know about getting rid of the assistants, but I've never even noticed that they're present, so they're unobtrusive.
10: Yes, Always On Display does what you expect. I have mine set to switch off overnight, but that's entirely optional.
11: Yes, I get notification counters on things like Aquamail.
12: I've been using Nova since the day I bought it. No problems.
14/15: For context, I get annoyed by these kinds of issues, and I won't buy another Huawei phone for exactly these reasons. On the S10 Lite, as currently configured, I get all notifications and widgets update as expected (agenda, Google Keep etc.), so I'm happy enough. I had to turn off 'Adaptive Power Saving', 'Adaptive Battery' and 'Put unused apps to sleep' to achieve that, though, and I've added a number of apps to 'Apps that won't be put to sleep'.

Thank you very much guys! Your replies clarified a lot!
Did you/could you perhaps check if Good Locks and #hex Installer can be used together or if you have to pick one to customize the system?

I'm not sure if I worded it correctly in the OP so I fixed it now, but could you please clarify if this refers to the Always on Display?

Ah, sorry, misunderstood. I get 3rd party notification icons on the AOD but I've not seen a counter, I'm afraid.

I don't understand why.. One file name has the word "black" so i dont think i mistaken the files..
Try setting, go to general, display, and then choose the black theme therel settings - vanced setting - display settings (or something like this, i translate from my language), and there is also a black theme setting there. Although i does think this is the problem..
Try also the new version here :
(The specific link it's not pirate or something, it is only for vanced hack)
https://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?f=429&t=3888296&hilit=Vanced
You must install no root, black arm64 version. I think you need sai application from playstore to install the file you will download.

Thank you.
Hello, is it possible to change the colours within the UI, the light blue colour, (see attached image) on QS panel & Brightness slider etc?
Its a terrible colour & I what to change it to suit my theme.
Thanks
no. At least not without root. Let's hope that material you will be included in some future xperia updates,
Repainter works.
but needs root.....
Of course it needs root. Anything fun you can do with Android needs root.
I uninstalled it though, the free tier colour combinations are hideous and if you want vibrant colours you have to pay a subscription fee. No thanks.
