One option would be to remove everything from the home screen and take a screenshot.
If it's across multiple home screens, do the same for each and then stick the images together with some photo editing software.
Maybe you could also do a Google image search using the screenshot.
The other options require you to be rooted. But I don't know where Samsung stores the theme files.

Just a thought here....I've spent a bunch of time on this theme, between searching the vast interwebs for applications that work, to editing files, to theming apps and testing them, at least 60 hours of my life have been put into this project. I don't take donations or anything, so could you guys help spread the word to all of your friends so i don't feel like I did all of this for just a few people? Or at least hit the thank you button every now and then. I would appreciate that.
Alrighty fellas, I've compiled a theme together for pretty much any android device capable of running CM7, but since I created it on my Optimus V, I'll post it here.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR ANY OF THE FILES USED IN THIS THEME, I SIMPLY COMBINED WHAT WAS AVAILABLE TO ME. Furthermore, a few of these apps are paid apps, and I cannot suppply those to you.
I'd like to give a big ol' thank you to AOSP for creating such a great base ROM to work with, nhnt11 for creating the themed menus and status bar, and the devs of all of the apps used in this project.
What is themed:
-Status Bar
-Notification Drawer
-The entire Launcher
-App Drawer
-Menus (including highlighted text)
-Widgets (Only "LP Sense UI widgets" "Toggles" and "Search" are themed)
-Keyboard
-Lockscreen
-Clock
-In-App Titles
-Boot Animation
-HTC app: Claculator
-HTC app: Music
-HTC app: Teeter
-Wallpapers / backgrounds
-Alarms
-Ringtones
-Icons
-Fonts
HOW TO FIX "ERROR INVALID_KEY" WITH FACEBOOK WIDGET
In order to get functionality from the Facebook widget back, as per THIS, you will need to uninstall the facebook app from your phone, then uninstall and reinstall LP sense ui app. From there, when you enter your credentials in the widget settings, it should work. After it is done synching and whatnot, you may reinstall Facebook app. It *should* work.
Step One
You are going to need to install a CM7 ROM with the Theme Chooser application if you want the status bar / menu themes to work. At this point, I'd like to give you this warning:
IT'S NOT MY FAULT IF YOU EFF UP YOUR PHONE, YOU ARE DOING THIS OF YOUR OWN ACCORD
#Step 1a (Skip if not rooted)
In order to install the fonts that I've included, you will need root access. There are two ways to install them: one through ADB, the other through a
market app, Type Fresh (included in the "app" folder) I feel it necessary to link to the original page for instructions. Here is the URL:
http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2009/04/25/how-to-change-fonts-in-android/
Step Two
After installing the ROM, you will need to download NTSense, provided by nhnt11 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970459
Just follow the instructions on the link provided.
Step Three
Now you will need to install LP Sense UI, provided at the bottom of this thread. THIS IS NOT THE PAID VERSION, IT IS THE REGULAR FREE VERSION, HOWEVER WIDGETS DO WORK.
You will need to set it up properly for it to work. Do the following:
From Homescreen:
Menu>Preferences>Sense Mod Configuration
Set Number of docks to "1"
Dock Background>Standard (be sure to press it, even though it is selected, or else it wont work properly)
Home button on app drawer "on"
Enable auto Rotation "off"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That should be it for the launcher. You can set other things how you like, I usually use "Rotate 2" as my transition, it looks great with the theme
Menu>Preferences>Homescreen Settings>Transition Effect> "Rotate 2"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step Four
You will need to purchase "WidgetLocker" from the market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker
It is $1.99 USD, but it is worth it, it is helpful for many other themes and is great as a lockscreen in general.
be sure to open WidgetLocker from the app drawer to open it in edit or "Tool" mode.
FROM "TOOL MODE:"
Menu>Settings>Enable WidgetLocker
(Skip this if you don't have root) Menu>Settings>Advanced>Root Helper>Check All Boxes, set Autoswipe Pin/Password to "Auto"
Menu>Settings>Advanced>Check "Hide Notification Icon" and "Hide Interaction Warning"
Configure the rest how you prefer.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
While you are in tool mode, long press every app, slider and widget and drag it to the trash bin at the bottom of the screen. Then do this:
Menu>Add>Custom Slider
Select "Sense" from the box directly underneath the picture of the slider.
Save.
You will need to long press the slider and drag it all the way to the bottom of the screen, being careful not to put it in the trash bin (or else you'd have to make a new slider )
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step Five
Install any of the clocks in from the included "clocks" folder found under "apps"
Should you install the flipclock app, be warned:
NOTE: THIS CLOCK HAS NO FLIPPING ANIMATION. HOPEFULLY, I WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE ONE THAT DOES FLIP IN THE FUTURE, BUT NO GUARANTEES. I WOULD NEED A LOT OF HELP.
Step Six
In order to get the toggle widgets, such as wifi, bluetooth, gps, vibrate, silence, etc. you need to Purchase Beautiful Widgets from the Market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.levelup.beautifulwidgets&feature=search_result
I have included a brightness control and battery indicator themed to look Sense-esque. They are at the bottom of the Post.
FOR THE BATTERY INDICATOR:
1. Apply Widget to Homescreen
2. Tap on it
3. Select the "Preferences" tab in the top right corner.
4. Check every single box, especially Swap Low/High res. You can select the temperature unit of your choice.

Rooted KF ADW Launcher Ex Wallpaper Changes on every unlock

Hi,
I have a rooted kindle fire & I have set up ADW Launcher EX as my daily driver. I have a weird problem whereby the wallpaper changes every time I unlock my device. This is really annoying as some of the backgrounds are really bright and it becomes difficult to read and see the screen.
Even if i set a wallpaper on my own, as soon as I unlock the device the wallpaper again changes.
Please advise what to do?
Thanks!!
I just tested this on mine as well. It appears to use whatever image is used in the unlock screen. I would be curious to see if there is a folder of images that the unlocker uses that could be tweaked to include custom images. Perhaps of I have time today or this weekend ill poke around the filesystem and see if this is the case. If you find out anything definitely post it up though I would be interested in fixing this on mine as well.

Of note, WidgetLocker has been updated to work around this if you've rooted. The wallpaper replacement was taking place entirely in the lock screen it seems. Bypass that and no more wallpaper changes.

I tried the suggested mod - first I changed wallpaper to just a simple jpg that I had (I'm using ADW EX launcher). Then, before I even had a chance to use the method, the wallpaper immediately reverted back to one of the ugly Amazon wallpapers. I am rooted (BurritoRoot) and on 6.21
Does this method depend on the nature of the jpeg image because for the life of me, I cannot get a wallpaper to stick.
There's an app called rotating wallpaper that if set up correctly will fix this. Works without root. It will update the wallpaper every minute to keep your wallpaper intact. Its not perfect but works pretty well.

Hey docfreed, I don't know whether there is a difference with what type of image file you use. I'm personally currently running go launcher ex and using its live wall papers with no problem after using the method I suggested. In your case maybe change the permissions and then change the wallpaper? I'm curious how that works out for you. Wish I could be more helpful.

Maybe I'll switch to Go Launcher and give it a try - it maybe something in ADW EX. But let me ask, do you chmod to 550 first or change the wallpaper first? 'cause I cannot get the wallpaper to stay at all - after I set it to my own jpeg, it changes almost instantly - could that be the pernmissions on the wallpaper file?

docfreed, so before I solved the problem, I'd switch wallpaper, whether it was a Live Wallpaper from Go Launcher Ex or a simple jpeg from my albums, the wallpaper would stick and stay, but as soon as I turned off the fire and back on, the stock wallpaper would return (which is the problem this thread is trying to resolve). I never experienced an immediate re-switch like you are.
When I tried out the solution (changing the permissions in the wallpaper folder in /data/data/com.android.settings/files), I first changed to a Live Wallpaper, then changed the permissions, and haven't had a problem since.
In your case, since you get the immediate re-switch, try changing the permissions first THEN change your wallpaper and see if that helps.
Let us know if that works, hope it does!
I understand how frustrating not being able to control wallpapers is.

Does anyone know the

Location of the lock screen wallpapers?
Running a custom rom, when I go to change the lock screen wallpaper I only get the option to use the stock Sammy ones.
If I can get the location I can put my own pictures there.
Thanks in advance.

Can you go to Wallpaper options under 'Display' in 'Settings'? You should be able to pick the lockscreen wallpaper and choose any image from your Gallery.
The wallpaper pictures of your stock Sammy application are compiled in the .apk file, so you have to decompile the .apk, to add new pictures then recompile it. It's not so simple, but you should find a thread about it on XDA.
The best way to put your own picture on your lockscreen is to choose the Gallery application which allows you to choose the picture from your storage and adapt it to the screen size.
But it needs the gallery.apk to be installed within your ROM.
Tried display in settings and it just gives me the stock images, no gallery option.
When I want to change the home screen wallpaper it gives me loads of options including gallery so I'm pretty sure I have the gallery.apk installed?

Themes?

I'm guessing on your phone when you hit the menu key it doesn't show theme so go to settings/Home screen and it should be there.
Depends what you mean by theme. I am pretty sure the stock phone can really just change wallpaper and move icons around. With root access you can install the Xposed framework which allows much more customization which is probably what you want, and with custom launchers such as Nova or Apex you can also do wallpaper changes and run custom icon packs. But maybe the theme you saw was nothing more than some UCCW widgets, IDK since I haven't seen the one you are talking about.

The stock launcher on the G2 has a theme changer and comes with two themes that change icons, walls and the clock widget maybe more. So its basically good for changing icon packs and then just reset your wallpaper after you get the icons you like. Yes you can use Nova or whatever and customize icons to your hearts content but I prefer the LG launcher and I'm thrilled they added this.

Yea I love it, just wish it theme'd widgets but guess i will splurge on Beautiful Widgets/HD Widgets
(stock transparent clock-weather widget would be nice tho)
I'm on the at&t variant and I can't find the theme option anywhere either. I'm guessing they took it out. I can still change individual icons by holding the icon, tapping the purple brush that pops up, hitting Menu and selecting a theme I've installed from the previous thread and then they all show up for selection. This only works for individual icons though and will not help you change the app drawer button, which is the one I wanted to change.

I don't think just flashing yours would work. It might but the guy needed all the files for the models he was building the mod for from the devices he was building for. I think it would need a little more than just swapping it.

I believe the international and Verizon version have the theme chooser, along with the Korean version. It allows you to switch to the Marshmellow stock theme, and others to come in the future. However, I think its apparent that the At&t version is missing this functionality. Would it be possible to add it back in an APK?

You'd probably have to wait for a dev to add it to their ROM
T-mobile version has it.
There's an internal application I found with system tuner called home chooser, don't think its enabled though. Anyone with another carrier version know if this is what were looking for?

Jolla launcher making it work

Just got the Jolla launcher ALPHA, I'm using it on my HTC one. I have issues with it right away. Most off the issues I have are that it is removing some of the functionality of Android while not letting us have the parts of Sailfish that would fill in those gaps. This thread is for those issues that can be fixed by installing an app or by some other simple method in Android, this way we cut down the amount of noise ending up in the devs baskets.
Here are my issues with the launcher:
How do I quickly turn on and off the Wi-Fi without widgets? Is there an app that will stick the WiFi in my status bar pull down?
Without my Soundabout widget that toggles my headphone jack on/off (because my jack is not recognizing input, it is a common issue for this phone) how can I turn on my jack?
I can't resize the app icons to fit more on each page. Is there an app that will do this or is this something that Jolla will have to allow for example in the pull down menu there could be a launcher settings.

You could try fiddling with the dpi value in the build.prop file, I believe there are a number of apps which can do this *more or less* safely. If you search through the XDA portal, they've had a post about it some time ago.
Btw I've tried to disable the nav bar by editting the build.prop file but that didn't work for me (using nexus 5), the way I did it was to use "Ultimate Dynamic Nav Bar lite", just to switch the nav bar off, then I uninstalled it, and it stuck. I use "Pie Control", as a go-between android app management, and the launcher.
I also disabled nav bar on my Huawei Ascend P6-U06 running AOSPA 4.4.4 by adding qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to build.prop and reboot for going to the launcher I just use the swipe gesture that comes with the launcher. It's an ALPHA but very stable I think.
I also noticed the occasional crash and this and that, but after all it runs okay on my Xperia Z1.
Have you guys found a way to change wallpapers?
I know there are 2 themes in the favorites by default, but I haven't found a way to change wallpapers the launcher itself. For now I have just decompiled the APK file and modified the included themes to have wallpapers I want to use.
By the way, the resolution in those default pictures are 1080x3200. No the easiest one to look pictures for
To replace my WiFi, BT and other toggles that are no longer there because of this launcher not having widgets. I installed the app "notification toggle" which lets you put toggles and apps in the Android status bar.

How to see notification? I have tried with swipe up,but Google search open . At that time I can see the notification bar, from there I can view my notification . And also what about the lock screen ?
@Dhiraj I don't understand.
This launcher has removed the contacts app icon from my apps screen. To get to contacts I have to go to phone and then contacts within that and using the back button that normally acts as a close app command in this launcher does not close it but minimizes it to the homescreen.

It works. The application has 2 wallpapers by default, so i can replace them for you if you want. Just reply me with the links/pictures attached and I can modify the APK for you ^^
You can also decompile it yourself.
You have to have 2 version of the picture you want. 1080x3200 and 270x800.
Go to assets/ambience and replace 92a267c5hp.jpg & fa9bfbdbhp.jpg with the 1080x3200 pictures and 92a267c5ap.jpg & fa9bfbdbap.jpg with 270x800 pictures. After that just recompile the apk, zipalign the apk and sign the apk. Then you can install the apk and have your own 2 pictures.
EDIt: I just took a look at one of the database files. I might be able to add themes and modify the names and highlight colors
If someone wants to try a "custom" theme: http://d-h.st/NmM
Differences:
-Has only one background image for now
-Custom colors and wallpaper
-Signed with my keys (You must remove the official before installing this one)
If anyone has 1080x3200 pictures, you can send them here and I can try to make custom APKs with matching ambiences ^^

This guide might help you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1891686
I am now modifying the apk, and I will link it to this post when I am done.
EDIT: http://d-h.st/UiP
There we go. I kind of missed the right ambience colors in the Tutorial theme. It seems aspect ratio of 27 : 80 makes the pictures to fit to screen perfectly.

Thanks for that link . Since default APP had two Wallpapers ,Namely 92a267c5hp.jpg & fa9bfbdbhp.jpg ,...so if u add three More wallpapers in it , Do we need to modify any other files or names . And also How do you name that Additional Three wallpapers.
Also have you tried Editing APK with WinZip, read somewhere on xda ..........i have problem Signing it, so unable to install it

There is also a file called ambience.sqlite in assets/ambience. I have modified it to load more images and to change ambience colors. I used firefox addon SQlite manager to modify it. I have not tried winzip for editing. I know that the signing can be pretty frustrating...

Hello ,
i Found beautiful High resolution WP on http://new.jollawalls.com/ . They are Made specially For Jolla .
Also Downloaded Your Modified APK with Five Wallpaper . I wanna ask you , that is it possible to develop extension or have option of just changing Wallpaper instead of De-Compiling APK and then Re-Compiling .

It is possible as far as I know, but I do not have enough knowledge to do that. It is also very probable that Jolla will add support for changeable wallpapers in the next alpha release.
At the moment they have partially implemented the code the get ambience colors from images, but they are using a database to store wallpaper information & ambience colors for now.

The launcher has folders in the app grid! Long press an app icon to go into edit mode then let go then grab it again and drop it on to another icon. Haven't had time to explore it further, break time is over for me.
New Wallpapers on Your Latest APK are Awesome .Also Unlike Default launcher , Color of Font changes with Wallpaper , esp for fonts in Notification Pulley . Overall it is Best version created so far by You . Thank for That
