How do I get Paid Themes? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Good morning Everyone,
I contacted Samsung regarding a theme that was advertised on their theme website. I was told it was available as a paid theme. I understand that in only some markets around the world paid themes are available. Apparently where I live only getting free themes are available.
Do any of you know of a workaround which would enable me to access the paid themes?
I would be most grateful for any assistance that you are able to give.
Thank you
Ben

Thank you, I will do as you say and let you know how it goes.

Still no paid themes
Hi,
I followed your instructions. Cleared theme data, removed sim, rebooted, connected to US with vpn (no sim) all I got was the same unpaid themes. London theme nowhere to be seen. Do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks
Ben

the old method of removing sim or freezing phone apps via titanium backup and vpn doesnot work for downloads. i have been using it previously on s7 edge first firmware and also NOTE 4 ported S7 edge Rom .
it shows premium themes but the samsung account gets logged out and you cannot login without sim anymore in it . Result u cannot download premium themes in a Non supported region \
If some one has any other way to buy premium themes in a non supported region please share

I did this and it worked! The below practically removes the 5min limit of TRIAL.
No VPN or such workarounds.
The only downside is that after a reboot, the previous free theme will be reactivated and you will have to reapply it by redoing the whole procedure below:
Prerequisites:
1-Download any paid theme from the internet (you can find some in here on xda) (I downloaded iron man and batman themes).
2-Install it as apk without applying it.
3-Buy and install "package disabler pro" from the play store.
Procedure:
a-Go to themes app and apply the "TRIAL" paid theme you have.
b-Press recent button, close all apps.
c-Go to package disabler pro; search for "theme"; disable both apps that appear including "theme "word.
d-Go to settings, application manager, more/show system apps, Themes app, storage, clear cache, clear data.
e-Press recent button, close all apps.
F-Enjoy.

Youtube

I installed a custom rom but now i don't have the youtube app anymore.
Do i just need to find a youtube apk and install it? Or are there any differences between them?
Already looked in the market but it's not there.
What do you mean by "between them"?! The YouTube app = the YouTube app
Can you see the app on market.android.com?
If not just google an APK
I mean are there different versions of the youtube app.
Found the app on market.android.com but can't install it.
This item is not available on your carrier.

Will just google apk and install it. Thanks for the info.
EDIT:
Just tried 3 apk's and i always get a force close.
How can it be that difficult to install the youtube app?
This should be in the Q and A forum.
Anyway if you are not in the USA, I suppose you are in a country that has carrier restrictions on certain apps.
So go and download Market Enabler and set your sim value to T-Mobile USA. Then you can buy and download most things on the market.
If you need more help or instructions, go to the Q and A forum.
Instead of Market Enabler, you can download Market Access that supercedes it.

Getting Google Play Store on international Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (China)

Hello. I just got the China version of Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N9100).
It doesn't come with a Google Play store. How do I go about installing the Google Play Store?
I downloaded the 5.0.32 version apk of Google Play store, and I installed it.
But when I run it, it closes or crashes. I found that apk by searching these forums.
So I was wondering if I needed to do something to make it work?
For HTC One I simply looked up Google gms in the HTC Marketplace and installed it, which ended up adding all of the Google stuff (including Google Play).
The Note 4 phone comes with a Galaxy Apps, but searching inside it does not have a Google Play installer (nor Google gms equivalent).
So my question is:
Do I need to root my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 in order to get Google Play to run? It currently closes or crashes when I try to run it.
Did I install an incompatible apk for my Samsung Galaxy Note 4?
Again I am referring to the China version of Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N9100 model)
Hi, I have the same problem also. SM-N9100 does not support google play store, youtube, etc. I guess all china andriod phones is banned from access these apps. The only way out is to install another rom. Please let me know if a suitable rom is available. Thanks.
Samsung N9100
hi all,
In have the same issue. I rooted my N9100 and installed Google play services, google services framework onto the system / app folder. Changed the file permission to a system app but still wasn't able to get it running. There's an error that says the Google services framework can't be run. Maybe I install a wrong version ? Anyone can shed some light and point me to the right apk ?
There are two ways to do it
Method 1) Typical GMS pack includes a lot of junk/google bloatware:
  1、GenieWidget.apk
  2、GoogleBackupTransport.apk
  3、Gmail.apk
  4、GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
  5、GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
  6、GoogleFeedback.apk
  7、GooglePartnerSetup.apk
  8、GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
  9、GoogleServicesFramework.apk
  10、LatinIMETutorial.apk
  11、Maps.apk
  12、MarketUpdater.apk
  13、MediaUploader.apk
  14、NetworkLocation.apk
  15、SetupWizard.apk
  16、Street.apk
  17、Talk.apk
  18、Vending.apk
  19、VoiceSearch.apk
  20、YouTube.apk
so install only the apks that you need
These apks below are required in order for Play to work:
GoogleBackupTransport.apk
GoogleFeedback.apk
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
MarketUpdater.apk
Talk.apk
Vending.apk
Copy com.android.vending.apk from \data\app to \system\app\, then turn on “Owner, Group, Other" permissions for it
Method 2)
Go to http://dl.pconline.com.cn/download/86344.html and download a auto install pack
Note:
I have not tested both methods!!
You CANNOT uninstall google framework and other bloatware once gms is installed
If you live in China and don't have VPN, don't even bother with since its all blocked
No success with Method 2 on the Note 4 (9106w). It installed it but I kept getting a Google Frameworks Stopped working error. I was able to log into my Google Account and open the Play Store but could not get a network connection. In the end I disabled Google Frameworks.
Will try to flash TWRB with Odin tomorrow.

So did you install the Method 2 app AND the app from the link you added. Hence, do I need to install both apps?

I downloaded a 44+ mb file. After unzipping it on my phone I saw a folder with many files. Did you move all the files into similar folders on your phone? I installed the apk packages and regretted it. No success so I imagine I should be using adb to push them to the proper folders.
Any hints would be helpful.
Hi,
Can I check with Samsung note 4 you tried on ? I am using N9100 rooted and just tried the link you provided i.e. V1.5. I installed it, followed the screen instructions and the phone rebooted. Upon reboot an update was run. Unfortunately, Google frame work services and stopped. No luck. I wonder was is the issue.

Hi,
Can I check with you which Samsung note 4 model do you have and worked ? I am using Samsung Note 4 model N9100 (rooted) and just tried the link you provided i.e. V1.5. I installed it, followed the screen instructions and the phone rebooted. Upon reboot an update was run. Unfortunately, I got the "Google frame work services and stopped". No luck. I wonder what is the issue ? I check the file permissions of the Google Services Framework and it was consistent with the rest of the apk files in system/app
I got the same problem. After rooting and install V1.5, I can install and open the google playstore. But there are nothing in the playstore..except retry icon.

Few questions about future software updates (Lollipop) since I've been away from Samsung for a while:
1. Rooting will trip Knox, right?
2. If yes, OTA updates won't work - would I still be able to flash via Odin or CWM?
Not sure if I will definitely root yet due to warranty issues so soon after buying.
As noted above, Google stuff here is a pain at times even with a VPN (location options don't work so Google Now is less useful).
Plus, I've become used to getting apps from the Samsung and Amazon stores instead.

Theme diy not working

I created a theme with this app and built it then installed the APK out made but when I go to apply the theme is not there. Is there a trick to this? Are they located in a different area? Also installed a few themes from the play store but those aren't there either
Yes you can just update your theme apk from playstore then you can use it!

Theme Store apk request

Hey,
I've stupidly uninstalled (rather than froze) Samsung's Theme Store. Pressing the "Themes" option in my settings menu just causes Setting to quit.
Could someone do me a big favour an upload the relevant apk so I can (hopefully) reinstall it into my system?
It's the G935F variety if that matters?
Thanks for any help/replies.

This is straight off my stock GS7.
Cheers Mike, it installed perfectly.
Much appreciated!
Edit: I get a "Theme Centre mismatch - Theme Centre could not support this content" error on trying to install any theme, have rebooted, cleared cache, data etc.
Is it possible that there are variations in Base.apk between the S7 and S7 Edge, or even between different carriers? Either way still appreciate the upload!
Try installing this along with the apk I uploaded earlier. If this doesn't work I have no clue. Screenshot of where it came from on my phone.
Thanks. Is working fine now!
