Are we able to apply parts of the Samsung themes, or do you have to apply the entire theme?
For example, say I just want to theme the dialer.. is that possible with the Samsung themes, or any other way (without root)?
Don't believe so. That was the first thing I tried to do within the themes store, and this would be at the top of my list for requested features.

The inherent problem with doing this is the dialer requires more than that. It also uses parts of system framework for it's theming resources. A lot of apps will call for info for colors and other things from the framework apks. Which means changes to the phone's apk in xml and smali files would need to be done to make this happen.
This, of course, will require root and probably a deodexed system.

*Edit is there a System UI I could pull from a rom that has the below mods? If not, I will be offering a bounty of $20 Cdn for anyone who can provide a flashable zip witho those mods, crt off is optional.
This is the SystemUI for the new Canadian MG1 Base, tried my hand at theming but changes arn't siticking, and there doesn't seem to be much regarding the changes made by Samsung.
Needing these specific mods:
No Status Bar Clock
Remove Carrier Label
75% transparency on notifcation toggle and drawer
1% battery
CRT off (If Possible)
SystemUI
Framework-Res
Framework JAR
TouchWiz Framework
Services JAR
Thanks, if you need any framework files feel free to ask.

Yeah, there was a thread in the Dev discussion that resolved compilation issues. Im using the general JB theming stuff I have on hand to play around with things, but I was also worried when someone mentioned that Samsung did some major changes to SystemUI in this update.
Is it possible to mix-and-match components from different themes? For instance I wanted to use the dialer/contacts, calculator and messaging apps from one theme with another theme but keep the other themed UI components from the second theme. Both themes work on my current rom/kernel setup.
Can I just overwrite the files in the second theme with the stuff I wanted to keep from the first theme? If so, what files would I need?
bump?
Can I just copy over the apks from the one theme into the other or is it more complicated?
Hello guys,
Im building a custom rom which will be pure kitkat base on AOSP and will be name Bleach Xtreme. The problem is that for me to make it original and unique I need to theme it in white instead of any Black from kitkat. I like to see something different and unique. How can I archive theming to white the status bar, navigation background and same for the System Settings, SystemUI like popups etc and few system apps like calculator, etc?
I can use the help and willing to donate if ask or need it.
Thanks
Anyone have some time to guide? I see my concept was already stole on a new rom. Lol
Try using XPOSED Framework with XBLAST TOOLS and/or the Frame work.apk
Not much of a Dev but I know a Lil bit

Well the problem is that i know how to do that. I want to theme manually the framework-res.apk, Settings.apk and the systemui.apk. I want to theme the rom itself.
Thanks very much for your help
Not sure if this is the right place or not, but I just got my s5 tonight and I would like to theme it a bit by changing some icons. On my old phones, I would just pull framework res or sysUI and replace the pngs I wanted to, then push it back to the phone. It does not look like that is an option since it looks like most everything is qmg now. Should I use Samsung theme designer or do custom roms play nicer with custom themes? I am rooted, but I have not installed safestrap or a rom yet.
Check out themes n apps section.. or search for an app on xda called qmg2png. It'll convert qmg to png for editing
Hello everyone my name is Jon Wesley Tranchida (Tran-Chee-Da) is how my last name sounds. Today I will be showing you this very simple mod that you all can implement into your current running rom. This guide and mod should work for all Tab 3 models but I have only tested it on the SM-T210R Model. Please see the requirements below in order for you to fully understand how to make this mod work!
What is this mod?
This mod will allow you to remove that annoying ongoing Keyboard (IME Switcher) notification from your notication panel. For example when you try to type an email this annoying notification pops up in your notification panel and it can get annoying. Here I will show you how to disable this annoying problem!
Requirements:
You need Java JDK 7 or later and you must have some sort of android program that recompiles and decompiles apk files. For example I use Ticklemyandroid. You will need also Notepad++ so you can edit text files. You also must have some knowledge of decompiling and recompiling apk files. You will also need to have and be on a deodexed ROM!
Okay let's get started!
1. First decompile your framework-res.apk
2. You should have all your decompiled files into a working folder, you will need to go to res/values-sw600dp and open up bools.xml with notepad++
3. Here is the code we will need to change. Look closely at the before code and after code. You will need to change the true to false
Before:
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]<bool name="show_ongoing_ime_switcher">true</bool>[/COLOR]
Now change to false as shown below
After:
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]<bool name="show_ongoing_ime_switcher">false</bool>[/COLOR]
4. Save text file and then recompile framework-res.apk
5. Now copy it to your tablets root system/framework folder and enjoy
6. That's it wasn't that easy?
Hope you all enjoy what I found!
Some time ago there was a better and more noob friendly method invented, called Xposed Framework it makes everything easier and if you've got Wanam MOD it makes your ROM much more customizable

Yes you are right mate
But I like mods like these better because you do not need xposed framework and it makes things a lot better for some people
Also wanam xposed really isn't supposed to be used on this tablet as it's only been tested on the Sammy GS3 and GS4. You could potentially just soft brick your tablet for no reason at all

But Xposed is next framework in system and it's almost impossible to brick Tab 3 and there's a zip that deletes framework so it's safe at least for me
