Tried the latest pn mod build
First time user with substratum and have to say amazing and really impressed and looking forward to the development of themes and its stability
I tried 3 themes
Bio hazard domination and mono
Few things i have noticed
1. i applied fonts from bio theme and nothing happened, tried 3 fonts from the theme and nothing happened although it said font applied even restarted system ui but font was the stock one
Not sure its a theme issue or substratum
2. When i applied a overlay no matter what the theme be i noticed this thing
When i opened the settings it opened just fine i mean themed and all
But for example when i opened the dialer it would load in that blue white color that is the stock theme and will then change the theme for example to the dark one when i applied mono
But this all happens in a duration of fraction a second but is noticeable
Also if I had that app in memory then it loads fine with the dark theme but when i remove it from memory and have to load it again then it behaves as described
Also don't know whether it's theme or substratum 3 themes i tried all of them didn't themed my nav bar or status bar or status bar icon, also in the screenshots for mono and bio for Layers it has themed status bar icons and nav bar so not sure about this
Other than that one more thing when i chose to revert back to the stock theme by choosing the option in the app i get a dialogue box saying play store has fc play services fc and few more apps can't remember which one but also included titanium backup in the fc as well
Also when the overlays are uninstalled and reverted back to the stock theme the phone gets laggish for a second or two i mean lag in animations for example not that if i open the dialer it will open it a bit late thats lag but if i open the dialer it opens it instantly but the it's like it's struggling in the opening animation
That's all what i can remember
Really appreciate your efforts and congratulations to the devs for their amazing work
Cheers

[THEME] terpsichora_N (S8 spoiler)

"new OP (still WIP)
theme got updated to support nougat, now with S8 influence.
PLEASE REMOVE COMPLETELY OLD VERSION IF YOU HAVE ANY BEFORE INSTALLING THIS. The newest version is "0terpsichora_N_RC3. apk" and "0terpsichora_N_RC3_lightnotif"
PLEASE INSTALL ONLY ONE, you cannot install both at the same time. If your rooted and have means to change title text color on notification or just can bear with the dark one use the ..RC3.apk, if you're not rooted and want a bugless theme use the ..RC3_lightnotif.apk one.
*
Still bugged (dark colored on 3rd party apps) notification title text (need help on this, or ask rom developers to support dark notification template on their ROMs) please report any miscolored, bugs or give bright ideas to improve this. thanks for using, enjoy and please atleast let me know if you kang any part of this theme.
INSTALLATION for rooted devices (you should do all this before 5min trial ends) :
-install and apply theme
-go fast to your root file manager and navigate:
-root/data/overlays/preferences folder
-delete all its contents (7files) not the actual preferences folder.
-then navigate to:
-root/data/overlays/jsonfiles
-from there, CUT and paste the contents (1file) of trialjson folder to inside of userjson folder.
-restart phone and reapply theme.

reserve for Q/A

Nice keep up the good work mate, will test this bad boy and post feedback later..

Very well made theme, liked everything especially the tinted backdrop in settings and keyboard. Just had a question of the icon size. They ate too big and look very old style or Android Kitkat style. Wish they were a bit smaller and sleek. Thank you

those icons are Grace UX icons mate, I just reduced the roundness of the original. as for the sizes yeah I think it's kinda big if you use 4x4 grid on homescreen try to use 5x5 and see.. (thanks for input, I will try with smaller icons for system apps and the rest and make an update )

Wowww beautiful thank you
Can you fix the bugs and make more themes like these? Btw i think the blue sym, smiley, enter and back button on the keyboard isn't that nice. Can you make it grey. And the keyboard swipe color too
Thanx
Oh and the blue quick toggles too. I think the blue that is used in this theme isn't very nice. Gray will b much nice o white

only for root!
The theme is only for those with root devices?

I also don't like the color scheme of the keyboard that I made haha it took me a lot of time on that, OK I'll change it, but the blue one on the toggles supposed to be like that 'coz that's the primary color for this theme

nope there is a way for non rooted devices, but I won't tell how to do it, there's a lot of tutorials on this forum already.

guys be sure to restart after applying the theme as there are assets that can only be seen ones the Theme applied fully loaded. I try to include dynamic icons on the clock but it's only semi dynamic (it changes only if the home screen refreshes/restarted)
**and also if someone can post a proper screenshots for this I'll be glad.
(blame the ships wifi, it's very limited)

mate i do not need to tell me how, thanks for your hard work.....you will be great if you can save the theme in wqhd and not fhd resolution!!!!!

Great theme but it is a shame to have to use a 3rd party unknown chinese app that needs to have total control of your device just to run the theme. I really liked the theme but any app like package disabler asking for such permissions is beyond my security concerns. Thank you a lot for the theme, truly a great piece.

I'm having an issue with theme being in trial mode, can only use it for 5 minutes.
By the way, really nice theme, I love it!

I made the Theme even before the Theme Editor is released so I just used the Olympic theme as my base, that one having a fhd resolution only. I tried to migrate my work to the Theme editor and try the wqhd resolution but it looks weird, so I just go with the fhd again sorry.

that's also a bummer, I got rejected as a theme designer @samsung So no chance that you will see this theme on the Store. unless you root your device you have to go with that disabler app if you like to use this.

cant do it on the theme editor so unpack/decompile the theme apk bro, look on assests folder, the one apk with ..aodservice in it, also unpack it. compare yours with mine to modify to your liking, then on your aodservice apk look to the values folder and edit your public.xml delete all id's. just repack/recompile your aodservice apk and put it again on your theme package. then recompile your theme package and sign it. (seems complicated if your not familiar with old school themeing, but if you know what I'm talking about, its very easy )

I was wondering why you did not theme in call ui??

Loved the theme except icons...great job.

Theme is great (even the icons) they just need resized.....?

I totally forgot about that,Ö I think there's a bug on the editor that you released because on the output apk, when I inspect it there is no ..inCallui on the asset folder.. I'll fix it, give me time, I'll make it great with note7 icons also on the next update with smaller icons and camera Ala note 7.
*and I think we are really getting near on receiving Grace UX, because that theme editor has so much stuff from Grace UX. little by little they're removing stuff from old touchwiz.

I'm just curious l can you post a screenshot with big icons you're talking about? because it's just the default sizes. I just reduced the roundness of the original grace icons (even with the 3rd party apps)

Nice theme! One of the best I've tried. Keep up the good work!
Edit: moving files from trialson to userson doesn't seem to work for this theme, it remains trial and after 5 minutes I can't use it. Someone with a solution to this maybe? TIA

Themes - Inspired from CM and other Android Skins

Hello Guys !
I have started to make themes that are inspired from CM13 themes and from other OS skins.

All the themes includes custom UI Sounds
- Dialer tones
- Touch sounds
- Keyboard sounds (Both typing and deleting)
- Ringtone
- Notification tone.
Please note that this all are trial themes, to use this themes you either have to be running the xposed module 'galaxy xmod' or you can use the package disabler from play store to disable theme store after applying my themes or If you are rooted then go to data/overlay/jsonfiles/trialjson then move the file to userjson then go back to overlays and delete preferences folder
Reboot and done.
it may or may not be fully compatible with nougat, so please pardon.
P.S. all of these themes are for free.
EXO UI - This theme has everything custom made !
Dialer
answer and reject buttons
add buttons

As i'm not on Grace UX Or Touchwiz i won't be able to post perfect screenshots like other themes
but if anyone of you are interested to be a volunteer to send me screenshots, i will be thankful.

Looking nice.
Keep it up
Are you using themes editor for making themes?
Or do it manually with each apk.
I am also interested to make something because I am a graphics designer and not much familiar with this kind of stuff.
Hope you guide me.

thanks I'm doing this with theme designer.

Thanks for this. Only reason I miss my Nexus lol theme engine was the sh!t!

the reason why it is trial is because i'm doing in unofficially
samsung rejected my request for 3 times
so i started making themes unofficially.
you can make it permanent by using methods mentioned in the OP
thanks for trying out my theme

The above idea at the Op doesnt work for me do you have alternative ways for it to work for me... Package disabler says my phone is rooted so it cant work and galaxyxmod is comaptible with s7 only i am on note 7 port on Note 3

Good.Make it free! Works on S7 Nougat.

yes all those themes are free
it's just that i made it unofficially so it appears in themes as trial.

It constantly switches back to normal touchwiz theme, what should I do.
What I did was that, i installed the given apk and then went to the theme store and clicked on free trial, it then changed my theme to samoled dark green theme, and then, after few minutes, it switched back to the stock touchwiz theme.
What should I do???
