You guys are FANTASTIC I recently got my s21 ultra after just getting rid of a dual booted oneplus 6t. I am simply amazed that all this is done without root now I have no reason to root this phone in order to change the look. Thank You so freaking much I 13 dollar upgraded hope it helps this phenomenally built application continue to get better. cheers

i can't apply the new "blue high contrast" theme

why?

View attachment 5295389
[Android Apps and Games] mac231us:
Does anyone know where this hex/fonts folder exists? I do not see it anywhere, so I created one and put ttf files of fonts I use. However, the hex program does not pick any up-when I click on fonts it prompts to add fonts to this hex/fonts or Hex/fonts folder, and that no fonts can be found. Thanks anyone!
[Android Apps and Games] Tacoo:
Looks like it was fixed. Given the lack of actual feedback here, I figured I'd let you know if you haven't found out already.
[Android Apps and Games] lyzgaard:
I have the exactly same error with the same message.

I have had issues like this several times before, sometimes I get it t work, other times it won't work.

BUT there is something wrong with hex.

Becuase I can download and use the High Contrast Blue theme if I do everything from Theme Store.

It's when the uninstall and install trough Hex setup, I get this error.

But this error is a new one, earlier the error was always that I could not download the theme.
[Android Apps and Games] lyzgaard:
Oh, thanks!

Hardlife..
[Android Apps and Games] edweder:
App updated(y)
[Android Apps and Games] Golemc:
I still have that problem that blue high contrast theme isnt applicable on one ui 3.1 - may patch. Should the 14/05 update have solved that?
[Android Apps and Games] side_flip15:
Fortunately yes but you need to compile it via adb and it will revert back to stock theme after a restart.

It's good that devs are trying to keep custom theming without root but I think they should consider it as an option for those who already have or choose to root.
[Android Apps and Games] lyzgaard:
As long as they are using Samsung Themes as base to compile and innstall Hex Themes I don't think root would have helped.

I have stopped using Hex, if they fix it they fix it.

Have to setup and install themes again after a restart is to much hassel.

What is even more amazing is how hard all the themes in Galaxy Store suck.

And it's maybe 1 or 2 themes who works on One Ui 3.1, the whole Galaxy Theme store is a joke.
[Android Apps and Games] Golemc:
Today another update arrived and the change log says "fixes for one ui 3 may patch" but unfortunately the "inapplicable blue high contrast theme" problem still exists.
[Android Apps and Games] shantanil:
If you use ADB to compile, you will not have to apply 'Blue High Contrast' theme. You will simply have to install the Hexed+ theme and its done. However if you restart you will have to re-compile the theme again using ADB.
[Android Apps and Games] Golemc:
Is there any chance that theming for samsung will be possible without adb compiling? Compiling it once would be ok, but after every restart?! Not worth for me. Too bad.
[Android Apps and Games] shantanil:
As of now, its not possible. But I am sure the developers are working hard for a solution. As for me I change themes every three days or so. And a restart every three days is good as well. So its fine with me. Unfortunately, this is the solution now as the Samsung themes are all crap.
[Android Apps and Games] Golemc:
I would be fine with theme compiling via ADB if it could be done on the actual phone itself. But always having to connect it to a laptop is a pain i can't look away over.
[Android Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
Thanks yeah it's good now. I also figured out part of the issue was I had "frozen" the stock file manager. Sucks that it didn't use one of my other file manager, it had to be the stock one.

On another note, does anyone have a full list of the 3rd party apps that are themeable? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Rockachella:
It's possible work without adb now? Or still needed.
[Android Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
I don't recall ever using it with ADB, so give it a try should be good.
[Android Apps and Games] shantanil:
Its still needed. Even after the update
[Android Apps and Games] Golemc:
Jep. Still doesn't work without ADB.

Dev has implemented magisk module to stick the theme. Easier for people with root access now
[Android Apps and Games] SamsungKing10:
How do I do the ADB command? Can't seem to find what command is needed.
[Android Apps and Games] shantanil:
On installing HEX you will find a page that asks you to download a zip file. Download it, copy and extract it to your PC. Ensure that you have the correct adb drivers on your PC. Ensure that you have USB debugging selected under 'Developer Options' in settings. Connect your phone through USB. Go to the downloaded folder of this zip file and double click the file hex_tool which is a batch file. When done unplug and install any HEX theme you wish to. You don't have to restart your device. However if you do restart, you will have to repeat the above process again to make the themes work.
[Android Apps and Games] pavichokche:
So I'm also a user on an S21 in the one UI3.1 May update situation.

I have done the ADB setup and haven't rebooted, the app doesn't prompt me for it anymore. If I do the 'try it out' on the #Hexed+ theme, it runs out after 10 minutes and applies the default theme. If I Try to follow the suggested process and apply the high contrast II theme, I get an error message and that's that.

Is there something I can do or I should just wait it out? I feel like something is off...
[Android Apps and Games] Rockachella:
Unfortunately no, the same thing happens to me in an S10+
[Android Apps and Games] pavichokche:
Alright that's fine, I'll wait it out. I just wanted to make sure I'm not missing something. Keep up the good work, devs :D
[Android Apps and Games] williamtavares:
got first galaxy in years and i hate the battery/signal/wifi icons with passion, can this app apply the stock android 10 status bar icons ONLY for these and not the whole system? i'm willing to buy it but i must know beforehand. also it will work as a theme?

big thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] unomedmen1:
Yes, but you will have do donate to get the option to mix plugins for this.
[Android Apps and Games] Limeybastard:
Can someone remind, I donated a while ago about a year to unlock the mix and match option. Does one donate again to unlock the option to mix and match? Or is there a procedure app to download Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] VonSparq:
My A52 LTE also has this problem, I can't apply the regular high contrast theme and the + theme disables after 10 minutes even though I used the ADB tool.

This is really bumming me out, I bought a Samsung specifically because of the customization possibilities, it's a huge disappointment that they try to block it now.

Edit:

After removing all of the themes, clearing all data, reinstalling Hex and re-doing all of the configuration I can get + themes to stick, still would be awesome if you could find a way to bypass the ADB config after reboot.

This situation reminds me of back in the day when I had an iOS device with a semi-tethered jailbreak so after a reboot none of my customization worked unless I was close to a PC. Very disappointed that Samsung is trying to block custom theming, shame on them.

我是中国的，大伙帮我看看遇到这个问题怎么解决。

With magisk, hex installer can install themes without trial and apply them automatically.

1. Flash hex_installer_magisk_module.zip via Magisk Manager (file is in storage root path).

2. Restart to enable the modView attachment 5341833ule.
[Android Apps and Games] DesmoDavid:
Uhm, seems like now it's working flawless... Got the June update, restarted and the theme still sticking.

With or without adb command necessarily?

I did the adb command the second week of may... After that, nothing.

How to remove trile in bodhisattva hexed theme

After 10 min.come to default.

My mobile is samsung A32 Non Root
[Android Apps and Games] Golemc:
The trial can't be removed. You have to switch to blue high contrast theme after the hexed theme. Hex is meant to overwrite that blue high contrast theme. But you can't switch to it if you are on one ui may security patch or newer as that customed theme is blocked. This is why hex theme is broken for samsung devices after may 2021 patch. The hex devs haven't been able to fix it so far.
[Android Apps and Games] shantanil:
I am afraid, but that is not completely true. HEX does work after the May 2021 update, however you have to use ADB to make it work.
[Android Apps and Games] Golemc:
You're right. My apologies. I've expressed myself wrong. What i wanted to say is that HEX is broken for the casual user who doesn't want to connect the phone to the pc, download an extra app there and execute a command to apply a theme and repeat that process after every restart (is that one fixed after june patch as mentioned above?).
[Android Apps and Games] shantanil:
Agreed. It is indeed cumbersome
[Android Apps and Games] VonSparq:
This has not been the case on my device, A52 4G, the trial theme sticks after reboots and even updates, the only time I have to re-do ADB is if I want to change the theme.
[Android Apps and Games] owcpirez:
How I use adb?
[Android Apps and Games] abracadavis:
Can someone please help? I got hex+ installed and all via ADB from my Mac and installed the high contrast blue theme as well as ios13 light and dark themes. But it doesn't seem to be working. I get no error messages in hex as I did before I realized I had to use adb to install it (and was successful) but while the preview shows all ios icons, my phone still shows standard Android icons. In fact, when I press "Build & Install H+" they all load looking like Android icons, not iOS icons. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the theme, the high contrast theme, and hex. Always the same thing. Furthermore after it supposedly "installs" my theme it asks me to delete the high contrast theme and to reinstall Hex which makes NO sense. I just don't know what to do.
[Android Apps and Games] Lorehaus396:
Same here. I don't even have to reboot to apply a new theme.. Samsung S9 Plus.

Why can't I find it in the play store
[Android Apps and Games] Xode:
Here the answer.... 👇

Wait is over.

I know you guys are wondering about hex's disappearance. Yesterday, hex became a victim of Google play review bot and it totally removed our listing from play store. It marked this line "OneUI/OneUI2/OneUI3" from our description as repetitive tags and violation of metadata policy and initiated this harsh removal action. Google play team didn't ban our app, they removed the listing temporarily for us to send them the proper listing. Technically, that line in our listing explicitly mentions the supported oneui versions (they are not tags), which is a non trivial case for Google play review and failed to differentiate from repetitive words. Anyways, this little stunt of Google, almost gave us a panic attack and a great loss to all our plugin install streams.

Now, Google approved our new listing and also took our suggestions to their review system from our appeal.

Hex is now fully reinstated and available on Google Play Store.

[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Sounds like you might be running One UI V3.x?

If you are - You have to use either adb or shizuku to enable HEX now.

{Mod edit. Oswald Boelcke}
[Android Apps and Games] Dippegugger:
Hello Guyes, could someone please explain why the Option "Themes" in Settings disappear after installing a Theme?

I also would like to know, why some downloaded Themes from hexified don't show the background style in settings. It's mostlikely just black. Some Themes work, others won't. I'm using Note 20 ultra, one UI 3.1 security update July 2.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
{Mod edit. Oswald Boelcke} - But you have to Toggle on the My Themes Toggle in HEX's adb set up & Themes disappear from Settings because that's why HEX's Theme sticks beyond 10 minutes.

{Mod edit. Oswald Boelcke}
[Android Apps and Games] jabbarh123:
Pooo there's been no changes or updates to fix issues or make the app better, i have made suggestions and it's been a few months with still no updates. When will there be another update or official release? I paid for this app and you gotta pay for themes on top its not made from love its made from money hungry people who don't care once some ones purchased it. Its an awesome map with amazing customization similar to old android days, just make it better will ya
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
HEX Installer works perfectly on my S20 Ultra Snapdragon variant.

HEX Installer was just updated July 18th.

You don't need to buy any of the optional Plugins to use HEX Installer. While I have purchased a few Plugins - I'm not using any Plugins.

{Mod edit. Oswald Boelcke}
[Android Apps and Games] jabbarh123:
Hex works ok on my s21 ultra dont know what you mean by 'perfect' there are bugs.

Updated on July 18th with no visible or tangible differences.

You do need to buy additional themes to get what you want out of the app, thats how they've made it, so you gotta pay for most things, which is strange because they said they've made it out of love, i myself am a lover, not a fighter, and i cannot feel the love. This is an expression of my opinion, im not here for replies or arguments, either hate it or love it..i dont care.

Thanks for the telegram link. Have a nice day
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
It's MY opinion that HEX works perfectly on my S20 Ultra Snapdragon variant running One UI V3.1 - I'm ONLY using Bodhisattva to Theme & Pro Mode for a custom Dialer Background.

If you feel differently - That's fine & your opinion.
[Android Apps and Games] Dippegugger:
Hello again.

I have one small question. I'm running on Note 20 ultra with security update from July, Android 11, One UI 3.1. Everything works great and I would like to keep it that way. My question is, if there is an new security update, will hex installer still work or do I lose all my Themes, cause it might not be compatible no more. In this case, I will better not update 😆.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Anything is possible - But from what I've heard the August Security Patch did not break HEX.

[Android Apps and Games] galdypr:
Hi,

I but you Aplcation. But when I rooted my device. The app say "flash hex installer magisk module v2.Zip, in new Magisk don't appear this module. And I don't know how to find.

[Android Apps and Games] Lorehaus396:
Does anyone have a clue how I could go about running my Hex Theme on my android device using adb? I've tried copying the commands but I'm a noob when it comes to this stuff, so I haven't been able to edit the scripts as of yet to execute an Android ADB Friendly version of the hex_tool.bat file to run on my android ADB terminal... Any suggestions?

Or even... with my other devices OneUI 3.0, running Shizuku on them, ... is there a way to run my Hex? I was just wondering why there isn't that option in the ADB setup for those devices.. ?
[Android Apps and Games] arf8:
Just want some clarification. I had installed hex early this year. Have not made any changes since.

Am I understanding correctly that if I make any changes now every time the phone reboots I have to go through the ADB process to make the theme stick again or has this been resolved? Right now if i reboot i have no issues but it is not worth minor changes if after reboot i have to mess with adb to make the theme stick.
[Android Apps and Games] Josephigloe:
Yes now if you reboot you have to use adb method to make the theme stick.
[Android Apps and Games] arf8:
Thanks for the confirmation. Guess I'm stuck with my old theme
[Android Apps and Games] sokar_goauld:
NO, u dont....u have to use adb again ONLY if u wanna build another theme, u can restart ur phone and ur old theme gonna stay.
[Android Apps and Games] NIKOSXRI:
If you reboot, the theme you already use will stick.

But if you want to make changes to it you must first use adb after a reboot.
[Android Apps and Games] arf8:
Thanks guys well that is not bad at all and not a big deal. As long as it sticks that is all that matters. Thanks for the updated information
[Android Apps and Games] d.cortez:
Well, on my Fold 3, I can create a theme, but it's not sticking using the methods above. Theme will revert to default theme after 10 minutes.
[Android Apps and Games] pieces of cake:
True
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Depends on what One UI version is running on your device.

If you're on One UI V3.x You can use Shizuku to enable HEX - Doesn't require your computer just a WiFi connection.

{Mod edit. Oswald Boelcke}

Yeah - Samsung has blocked adb on the Fold 3 One UI V3.1.1 - You have to use app freezer to Freeze Galaxy Themes & Theme Service - You have to remove ALL your accounts & make app for the device OWNER not Admin.

{Mod edit. Oswald Boelcke}
[Android Apps and Games] Lorehaus396:
Are you using Shizuku? Also, before I even unplug the USB cable I'll run the Hex and make sure I get the dialog box in my Notificatuons that says #Hex Theme Successfully Applied,, usually I'm good if it says that.... Usually. .. then sometimes after 2 or however many days of being ALL GOOD, it will say my "10 Minute Trial is Over"? ... Lmao! After DAYS..... One thing that seemed to help (got it from the Shizuku App web site help for my Android 11) is to make sure that in Developer Options that your default USB Configuration is set to Charge Only, and that you don't change that configuration. I was having the same problem and keeping an eye on that, I noticed that when it would say my time had run out there was usually some event connected to the default USB Configuration that occurred at the same time. Otherwise, mine is sticking great, now. Hopefully that will help with yours.
[Android Apps and Games] pieces of cake:
You're successfully using Hex on the ZF3?
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Not unless they are using app freezer to Freeze Galaxy Themes & Theme Service - Along with the rest of the instructions.
[Android Apps and Games] Josephigloe:
On the fold if your on 3.1.1 you need and app I think it's called freeze then after you install theme you need to freeze Samsung themes so it won't revert back.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
It's more complicated than that & the app is called "app freezer".

{Mod edit. Oswald Boelcke}

But the screen shot should give you some idea.

Hi, since the last two updates Gmail can't be themed anymore in my device. The latest updates says "gapps fixed" but Gmail still can't be themed. I'm in ONE UI 1.1 android 9 , rooted with magisk and the magisk hex module installed. I tried everything but none worked. I also joined the telegram group to search for possibles workarounds but... I was banned one minute later!! I don't have any idea why, I only searched the word "Gmail" and found some stuff related to this issue but then I was banned. Very strange. I used the TG link that is informed here in the XDA group. Anyways, if someone knows some workaround or if a fix is coming I'll be very grateful. The white Gmail is killing my eyes very badly cause it even hasn't a dark mode in Android 9.

Forgot to mention that I have the Pro version of #HEX, a long time paid user here.

Thanks in advance!

Hello!

1. Does anyone know if there is a tweak to automatically expand all notifications?

2. Why does HEX Installer not support usual icon packs for launchers?

3. How can I help with current incomplete and machine translated localization?
[Android Apps and Games] alexjrb:
good, how about greetings, excuse someone who has the latest update of hex installer and can create the copy of the apk and can pass it to me, to see if I can patch it, I downloaded the apk from the other side but it is only up to version 18.2 Vega and that one is not compatible with my samsung A02 android 11 One Ui 3.1, it installs on the phone but only in test mode and before with android 9 and 10 with my cel root it worked great for me. Please and thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] alexjrb:
why don't you use linex icon pack and nova launcher, they are compatible with Hex.
[Android Apps and Games] alexjrb:
how is that?
[Android Apps and Games] Ćwirek:
I think that I did something wrong because chosen theme is active only for 10 minutes. What I did:

1. Downloaded Shizuku, did everything is it is on the provided Hex Installer screens;

2. Downloaded Hex theme from PlayStore, applied: first applied the default theme, than opened Hexed+ theme and clicked on "Try it out". Notification pops out with info that theme is applied succesfully;

3. Opened Hex app, clicked on this robot pill:

- Hex ADB setup is ticked green;

- Hexed+ theme applied is ticked green;

- Custom theme state is ticked red. How to make it green?;

- Hex theme Mode is active;

- Add My Themes Shortcut is active, but nothing happens when I try to open #MyThemes app

Phone: Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G without root.

Any ideas how to solve this and have a theme for more than 10 minutes?
[Android Apps and Games] alexjrb:
did you pair and put the code Shizuku, with the Wireless Depiration mode? Could you help me, with the apk of that app, well if you can't, thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Acedooncoon:
Yea..im stuck with the custom theming state on red as well. I wonder will One UI 3.1.1 be supported with Hex really soon.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Samsung has blocked adb Theming on the Fold 3 One UI V3.1.1 - If you want to use HEX then you have to use app freezer to Freeze Galaxy Themes & Theme Service.

You have to remove ALL of your accounts & make app freezer the device OWNER not device Admin - You can add your accounts back after.

Latest version of Smart Switch does not work with app freezer FYI.
