Hello
I just bought this tablet but I can't find theme store
Is there any way to work themes with this tablet?
Also is there a specific thread for this tablet?
Don't shoot me
me too
ive tried installing theme store after root but wont work. best i could do was root and install twrp then xposed and theme my status bar.. i cant even find roms apart from on Russian sites.
I am thinking about getting this tablet but it seems that themes are non existing. Also as noted custom roms are lacking. In comparison there are lots of developers on the S2. Unfortunately since I want a budget tablet for reading with decent specs and a slim rom like Lineage OS. But there only seems to be debloated or/and tweaked Touchwiz roms...

I have read a bit on the topic of ROMs, but I have never rooted or installed a custom ROM until now. Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, I am just trying to figure out the whole odexed/deodexed deal.
From what I've gathered, deodexed ROMs were originally used to be able to edit things such as status bar colors (clock, notification icons, etc) and even the icons themselves. They boot 'slower' but after the initial boot it is not that recognizable as newer hardware more than compensates for this issue. (I have a Galaxy S5 G900P)
So I have flashed a deodexed ROM onto my phone (R.D.D.T.). Now, this ROM also has an odexed version as well. I assumed that having the deodexed version would allow me to edit icons, colors, etc. However, I'm not quite sure how I can do it.
I have seen and read about people installing custom, deodexed ROMs onto their phones, and many of them (Alliance, X-Note) will come with either an app pre-installed on the ROM, or a ROM-specific menu in Settings. This menu lets them customize things in the way I would like to be able to. The problem is that, at this time, the G900P (Sprint) version of the Galaxy S5 is not supported by either of those ROMs, or many other popular ROMs for that matter. R.D.D.T. (and R.O.D.T as well as the Mystery Build) was one of the only ROMs I could find that explicitly supports the G900P. I like the concept of this ROM, as it seems like a good, no BS bloat-less ROM that is otherwise very close to stock Android. But, I do not believe it came with any ROM-specific way of editing colors, themes, icons, etc. So my question is a few parts I guess:
-Is there still a way (downloadable app, editing files, etc) for me to be able to edit colors on the S5 with this ROM?
-In a situation like this, what is the benefit of having a deodexed ROM installed?
-Are there other ROMs similar to R.D.D.T. that currently support the G900P S5 which additionally offer customization?
-What is it with the Galaxy S5 that is causing so many ROMs to not officially support it?
Sorry for the long post, but my primary aim here is to learn everything that I can about this.
I don't own an S5 yet so I can't test out the current theme options but I'm hoping somebody can answer my question. I prefer the look of stock android over TW. As AOSP roms are fully working yet, is there a way to make the S5 look like stock android?
I know I can use a different launcher, many of which probably have a stock android theme. But.. do these themes change everything to look like stock android, such as the settings app, pop up windows etc? I looked in the Alliance Rom thread which has many theme options but I couldn't see a stock kitkat style theme.
I had been waiting for my carrier (telstra) to release the lollipop update to my device (SM-N910G) before I rooted, I have now been updated and have rooted my phone, I'm currently still on stock recovery, everything else stock. I am pretty sure Xposed is out of the question for me being on the stock rom, I'm not really interested in installing a custom rom at this stage, is there anything else available that offers the level of customization that Xposed does that will play nice with my phone? Or am I mistaken and xposed should work with my device? I don't really want to stuff around and experiment too much like I have with other devices because I don't want to have to fix it over and over, I'm hoping others have experimented enough to tell me what works. I like the overall functionality of the device, I just wanted to change some things and add to the experience, I would like to be able to customize the Air Command for example, maybe change some status bar icons, change the dpi of some applications, make things a bit snappier, add some missing features, etc, I don't want to lose any of the baked in touchwiz functionality, any suggestions?
Xposed for touchwiz lollipop requires a deodexed ROM which you should be able to find in the development section for your SoC (snapdragon or exynos)
I saw there was an unofficial version of Xposed for touchwiz lollipop but it looked beta and unstable, any more info on that? By the way, is there any downside to a deodexed as opposed to odexed rom?
Hi all, I'm trying to find a ROM which is most like untouched standard Android (Like what you'd get on a Nexus device); this sort of ROM used to be referred to as 'Vanilla' but may also be know as Nexus or Google Play Edition.
I played with my friends new Moto X yesterday and the OS was so much faster and responsive than my phone, in my opinion. Furthermore, I prefer the aesthetics of the standard ROM; I know Motorola ROM's aren't completely free of changes but they are certainly a lot more uncustomised than Samsung with all its additions and customisations which I really hate the look of and find my phone gets laggy quickly unless a restart is performed.
I have extensive experience loading custom ROM's but I don't want to have to try all of them, I was hoping you may be able to help me find a ROM which matches my requirements. The addition of S Pen apps/compatibility would be awesome but I can obviously look into adding this myself if the ROM does not natively support it.
Thanks community!

If you just want plain standard nexus type rom them you just want plain cm from the original development section. There are a few versions of cm with added tweaks around as well but cm roms are pretty much only available for the qualcom n4 plus every cm rom will have a couple of bugs

note 4 910f best stable rom pie
im a newbie can you help please.
Did you find a rom that worked for samsung note 4 n910F marhmallow to pie? blutooth and camera ok?
A shop did this for me they tried twice but though android pie worked when I switched the fone off.. power off from the shutdown menu at end of day.... it wouldnt reastart at all. They gave up and reloaded samung marsmallow again which its running now.
As a newbie id appreciate knowng how and in which order you did this. Im thinking odin on computor, root fone to take nandroid copy twrp
If I end up with the same problem as the shop ie no restart, could I obtain and load an original samsung ver 5 or 6 android, as this would be easier than rooting the fone in order to make a nandroid copy.
THANK YOU !!! april 2020.
Hello.
Apart from installing a custom ROM, is there any way to get a bit more darker theme on menu and notification bar? Can an app do that work? A lot of Marshmallow (Android 6) phones have dark theme but from what I saw, Note 4 doesn't have this option. I have sensitive eyes and when it comes to bright white colors, it hurts my eyes.
Since I'm really bad with installing ROMs and root etc, what's the safest and easiest way to do it? Install LineageOS and then a custom ROM? Then I find a ROM (I guess Nougat or Oreo) and install it? Does the whole process requires root?
The easiest way would be to root with Magisk and then install an old version of Substratum, which is a theming app. Then you can add a dark Substratum theme. You just need to make sure that the theme is compatible with stock MM ROM, which only some are. They are called legacy themes. This would allow you to stay on your current ROM.
The best way would be to move to a custom Oreo ROM and use Substratum with a dark theme. FYI two of the custom ROMs I have tried have partial dark theming built in but Substratum extends this further into the system UI and will also completely theme many popular apps.
Just to clarify something for your own sake - LineageOS itself is a custom ROM and there are other custom ROMs that are based on it but have further custom features. These would be the only way to get onto Nougat or Oreo. The other stock-based Note4 ROMs do not go past MM as that was the last version released by Samsung.
Please note: if you are not confident in your ability to make these changes, please do not attempt them until you have thoroughly researched the methods to accomplish them. Otherwise you may break your phone! People here can help you, but you WILL need to learn at least some of the basics first.
Edit: you didn't mention which model you have. If it's a 910F, look here https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/themes-apps/utility-rom-control-note-4-stock-roms-t3586944
Check elsewhere in that forum for other solutions too. There may be others I'm not aware of as I never used this phone with MM.

If you have samsung marshmallow you can try "good lock" app. With this app you can choose "dark theme":
