I need a step by step video on this.....ugh!
[Android Apps and Games] Dizzyrul3z:
Same here on S21 Ultra. After the last update do android 12 have the same issue. On A11 everything was ok.
[Android Apps and Games] Josephigloe:
Hex is not working on Android 4.0 , 12
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
No it's not - You either have to use an unsupported method now - or wait for a plugin that the Devs are working on.

{Mod edit. Oswald Boelcke}
[Android Apps and Games] SamsungKing10:
Samsung patched the adb method of applying themes so it won't work in oneui 3.1.1 or higher...the only way to make the themes stick is to install an app called app freezer from the play store and freeze the themestore and themes packages. Hopefully there is a fix soon.
[Android Apps and Games] Isus <3:
Any way to use hex with the new Android 12 One UI 4.0 Material You color pallete thing based on wallpaper colors?

It asks me to apply the default theme if I want to use that feature
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
One UI V4.0 isn't currently supported by HEX
[Android Apps and Games] natexkzm:
For some reason after doing everything building theme, applying HEXED +, applying high contrast theme and reboot... the theme applied looks like default even though high contrast modded is applied.. i havent used this app in a while did the steps change? I have a Note 9 Android 10 One UI 2.5
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Think that on One UI V2.5 you have to use adb to enable HEX now.

No offense... but if you want to help, please do it here at XDA where a lot of people are still contributing to the community. Don't send people to Telegram groups, because 1) it's not allowed to do so here at XDA. It's against the rules.

LOVED Hex prior to the whole ADB requirements. I know it has to do with Samsung changing stuff, but it's become to troublesome to use HEX now. I would change change themes on the fly before without needing to be by a PC. Now, that's not the case. For ME, it was easy and convenient before. Now it just takes too many steps and I just left it alone and went stock.
[Android Apps and Games] vipergrm:
Are there plans to support Android 12 / OneUI 4.0 in the future? I stupidly upgraded to the Beta version on S20 Ultra and of course, I have the same issue (theme reverts to default after 10 minutes). I knew I would regret doing that lol
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Yes - And there's more than just plans to support One UI V4.0 - It's been actively worked on & a solution has been found.

Devs are keeping it under wraps lest Samsung patch it.

I'm not sure when it will be released - But probably not before One UI V4.0 Stable for the S20 Series.
[Android Apps and Games] envy~:
we cant grant this sorry, making it that too customizable removes the simplicity and it would take you a several minutes to even make a theme with that.

s7e PIE roms work with hex installer

you can activate night mode to fix that or just re boot your phone and re apply default theme then hex theme again.

build a theme first and then try to install those helper plugins again.

no, it will overlap and hex will takes priority because its a samsung theme applied, hex currently got 12 popular 3rd party apps supported, and we are currently working for more.. but takes time coz we doing them from scratch.
[Android Apps and Games] awionetka:
I had night mode permanently enabled before even installing hex and AOSP-Q plugin.

I just double-checked by going back to default theme, re-enabling night mode and enabling AOSP-Q hex theme. No change.

I probably should had mentioned that this problem appears only in Samsung E-mail. All other Samsung apps are OK!
[Android Apps and Games] adnbwta:
Well, thanks for coming update, I guess?
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
It already takes several minutes to make a theme so not really sure where that is a concern. As for simplicity, I really wouldnt say this is simple at all. I have had to help everyone I have had install it to make a theme and even then most went back to their other themes. Now Im not knocking the project. I have great hopes for it. But dont mistake that many here knows just what it takes to get this done or have ripped your apks apart to see how your doing it.

Good luck on the project and I look forward to further development.
[Android Apps and Games] envy~:
you dont get what i mean, the moment you apply a samsung theme the night mode switch will be automatically disabled, meaning the night mode effect will be gone, what i want you to do is apply the hex theme, then go to hex app and click the night mode button there and activate it WHILE theme applied.

the one reboot and re apply hex theme also works, these are all stated on the FAQ section of the app.

his request it to have a color customization for every app, its possible to do but we don't plan on making it, i already stated my reason, simple person will find it too overwhelming for them to see all the coloring dots on the app ui, if we put that option it will turn them off judging the app to be too complex, im just assuming yes, but not everyone like us whos geek on customization, that's the main point of this app is simplicity and being uniformed, i reject those ideas to make this different from themeGalaxy app where you can do all those things..

swift installer also having it, just 2 colors and the whole ui will follow, but no one complain about it i guess.
[Android Apps and Games] burrzoo:
Thank you for all of your work!

Will you still continue to work on ThemeGalaxy or have we seen the last version of it? The way it currently works is fine for me at the moment but love to have options.
[Android Apps and Games] corwin_amber:
I am having another request:

- When not using default one UI with changed nav bar symbols

- and also using the order of nav buttons like default Android, back, home, recent

-> the navbar symbols look a little off, as recent is "looking" to the right and back is looking to the left.

Would it be possible to include different navbar symbols, that look as sleek when using the old Samsung order of navbar buttons? Iean, have back and recent symbols mirrored to match the order?

And: I can not find the matching icon pack, thought, it was linked in the thread. Would somebody please tell me?
[Android Apps and Games] shindiggity:
I noticed most if not all themes don't have hangouts themed any idea why?
[Android Apps and Games] mattskiiau:
Unsure if this is a bug or I'm just stupid..

The notification icons (except battery) turns black in some themed apps like Google Play, Instagram etc.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
The people I had install this (for normal people reaction) are not close like us. They are normies. They already thought it was complicated and vague. I spent 2 hours with someone to make a single theme and in many places I had to tell them they couldn't do that. So they just went back to their other themes.

But to each their own. As you said. Many may find it difficult. I find it simple. Maybe a bit too simple/limited
[Android Apps and Games] ninbes:
Hello, I have installed #Hex installer and applied a theme by it, if I install synergy and apply a theme only to data icons and wifi will cause some FC error?
[Android Apps and Games] gh_3210:
I have bug. In notification of Fotmod app. If have more than 3 message then text turn black [IMG="ảnh"]https://i.imgur.com/C3DzR9r.jpg[/IMG]
[Android Apps and Games] envy~:
im not the dev of themeGalaxy its my partner so i cant say anything about that app. As you said its working fine till now.

its not changable like that i believe and if i make the back button pointing to the right it wil not look like a back button anymore but forward button :p

hangouts its currently not supported by hex, but soon it will..

no, even my partner Saty doesnt like the idea.. this will become tG all over again if we make it like that, and we've seen so many funky themes with those kind of modification.

you have people asking you about this app? sorry but its my first time talking to you i don't remember you anywhere or im just so inactive i apologize for that, but sorry to break the bubble this is not the theme editor you all wanting for, hex still following the strict rule and limitation impose by us, and it's not like we just want it to be like that some reason are for stability and just qaulity control, we are open for suggestions but we talk about them and have other peoples opinion before we put them on an update, as you said you got people that find this app difficult to use, me also have a fair share of that and i can help them if they reach us, we are just on our second month, there's still more room for improvements and we are currently working for that.

that app maybe using a black primary color like telegram x, and it can only be fixed if we include that on supported apps by hex, we are still working to expand for more apps ill make sure to remember this to add next time.

[Android Apps and Games] kapooo3:
is there is a way to make the night mode always active? I ended up having to enable it everytime I set the theme in theme store or when I update stuff. also is changing Samsung default launcher icon in the works? or is it not possible. thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] ninbes:
Hello, can you help me please? I installed the #Hex installer and applied a theme for it, if I install synergy and apply a theme to data icons only and will wifi cause any FC errors?
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Yes I have people asking me about the app. Its not a surprise you have not spoken to me. I dont speak to many outside of the OG of the site. I was here when theming android started. I have also been a mod, on every committee (including the themeing committee) I have been part of the custom theme arena since before greats like Darkknight or many of the others. Some people tend to come to me as they have been avoiding XDA for reason And they know me from my theming days or mod days. Many stopped coming here when I did. There are many things that just are not clear. Like changing of the notification icons. There is no section that mentions it yet it happen. Some apps dont get themed at all sometimes and it has to be reloaded a few times before it takes.

I know why you do it. I have your app ripped apart on my desk and I have been going through the code.

If I can offer a bot of advise. People are not gonna pay for plugins after having to pay for the app.

As for breaking my bubbly. Dont worry, We have sat though and watched many efforts like this to start up and then end up no where. So we will see. I have it installed and try it out every time there is an update. But so far I have gone back to the theme that I have been using for almost 2 years now as none can compare to the level of detail (which is the important part of themeing)
[Android Apps and Games] envy~:
oh, sorry I'm not aware of you sir since I'm always on Samsung theme threads, as I've said we are just only starting on paid app scene, I've always been here, since Samsung introduces the Theme Store, I even open more doors to "custom" theming for Samsung and influence lots of theme makers (some are now plugin contributors) but sadly we are under appreciated and taken for granted that's why I made this app to at least get the credit i think i deserved, and help also my co amateurs, in a form of a ui plugin to showcase their themes. They are also here, and have their own theme threads and free contributions.

I don't know why our conversation got lead into this but my team are carefully discussing all user suggestions and bug reports, some things are really possible but we tend to reject because Samsung theme engine and theme base is sensitive for layout edits where most of the oldschool themers doing on their work, some things work on one device and broken on another so we carefully choosing the tweaks that can be added to our app.

This is just the beginning, we are not going anywhere (since we've been here since samsung nougat).

and btw sir plugin scene is doing decent, Broly got 300 downloads on its first day, and the Paragus ui got reached 500 today.

im making more free plugins in the future like the hex aosp, and not only ui plugins but also tweak plugins, and we are not only focusing on plugins, of course the main app is still the priority, soon we will have qs number customization and more 3rd party apps support.

lastly, I will not abandon my free theme threads here, all unique theme i'll release in the future will always be free and uploaded here exclusively.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Oh don't be too worried man. I have not run a samsung device since the days of the Collective.

Themers will, always be taken for granted. That is just the at it is. To be hones even after loving themes most couldn't tell you who the author is. I have been running the same theme like I said for 2 years and I couldn't tell you who made it or if they made any others. These tend to be find one you like and leave it.

Oh I am aware of Samsung bs themeing. I was certified with samsung for a while but their limitations were not to my liking. So I walked away. Now I mostly deal with things like klwp as I seldom see the system at all these days. So, themes tend to be more of a waste. To be honest. I only use the theme so it themes my dialer. Every other app I use has a built in theme engine.

300? That is not bad with a lot of press behind you. Installs always jump after the portal writes about it. But let's see how it does in a few weeks. This is where most fall off.

Oh I know. My status bar icons kept changing and my brother's didn't even though we have the same device lol

Make no mistake. I am excited about what your doing and have great hopes for your project. Even paid for it before trying it out.
[Android Apps and Games] shindiggity:
Be very cool if we could center status bar clock with this.
[Android Apps and Games] albertobom:
You can use NiceLock for that. Just download the app from Playstore and then download the module.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
If you're running > One UI V3.1 then you can just use Shizuku & it's faster & easier than adb & you don't need your computer.
[Android Apps and Games] vipergrm:
Great news! Thank yo :-) I'm probably going to revert back to OneUI 3.1 because I also didn't realise GPay doesn't work with Beta versions.
[Android Apps and Games] pavichokche:
So currently the 'Hex Installer: OneUI themes' app on the play store says 'All the Galaxy smart phones running "Official OneUI" are supported.'

Does that mean that OneUI 4.0 from the recent/currently rolling out official Android 12 Samsung update is now supported by the Hex app? If so, can someone point out that version of the app includes/included the update?
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
One UI V4.0 is NOT currently supported - The Play Store description hasn't been updated to reflect the release of One UI V4.0 yet.

Devs are working on a solution as Samsung has blocked adb Theming starting with One UI V3.1.1 on the Fold / Flip 3 and currently One UI V4.0 on the S21 series.
[Android Apps and Games] pavichokche:
Ah I understand, thank you! It seems the issue for me, with an S21 on OneUI 4.0, is that the 10 minute 'Try It Out' keeps undoing the theme even though Hex is disabling the Galaxy Themes app.
[Android Apps and Games] drivel2787:

I keep getting configure the setup to open my themes on flex 3 ui4 and Android 12....
[Android Apps and Games] percistratus:
I also get stuck on this and there is no way to go to the theming page
[Android Apps and Games] drivel2787:
Not sure if still the case but a few pages back says that this app is not supported on ONEUI 4.0.....
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
HEX Installer DOES support One UI V4.0 - Make sure you have the latest version of HEX Installer & Backup your device BEFORE using the updated version.
[Android Apps and Games] drivel2787:
I installed the latest from google play store and had the issue I reported.... I can get it to work once if I re-enabled samsung themes, but then it just disables itself, and you can't open the app and get the previously included screen shot.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
If you're talking about Galaxy Themes being disabled - That's deliberate & how HEX Theme remains applied beyond 10 minutes.

When you set up HEX's adb - You should also Toggle ON the "My Themes" shortcut - At least that's what I do with One UI V3.1 (STILL haven't received One UI V4.0 yet).
[Android Apps and Games] drivel2787:
I have permitted ADB as I should, when I go to turn on my themes, it does absolutely nothing, or it opens and force closes and disappears with no error displayed.... I have uninstalled, reinstalled, redone adb permissions and everything multiple times... It works fine up until enabling my themes shortcut....
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
With One UI V4.0 - You're supposed to be using Theme Park.

Here's a "how to" video from the Dev.
[Android Apps and Games] pavichokche:
I saw there is now a warning in the app that using custom themes can potentially cause boot loops on One UI 4. Has anyone run into this issue?

Devs, when the issue is resolved and the risk is no more, will you update the app to remove the warning?
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
As far as I know - Only a couple of people had Bootloops & I don't think that it was with the main app - But a couple of the Plugins.

As for the warning - If I were the Dev - I'd probably just leave it there anyway - One of the people who got a Bootloop - Didn't have anything close to a recent backup.. which is just dumb on all kinds of levels.
[Android Apps and Games] SamsungKing10:
Anyone know how to fix the grey bar on the dialer on the inner screen after being themed with hex. I have tried multiple plugins and it wont go away...the only reason for it being there is because the dialer on the inside screen is the same as on tablets.

View attachment 5507949
[Android Apps and Games] drivel2787:
I've done this and when I click on the theme option it closes and my themes never opens!
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
I won't have One UI V4.0 on my S20 Ultra Snapdragon variant until the 18th - So I haven't used the One UI V4.0 method yet - But if you watched the video & followed the instructions properly - It's working for others.
[Android Apps and Games] paolo200:
The navigation bar height tweak is not working since Android 12/One UI 4.0. At least on my phone
[Android Apps and Games] VonSparq:
Is there a list of plugins that have been confirmed to cause bootloops? If not that'd be a very important thing to make, maybe even add a warning if an offending plugins is detected or refuse to build&install a theme with one active.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
A couple of things - It's not recommended to use HEX projects from 3.1 - But that's mostly a display issue - Check the Update Date of any HEX Plugins you want to use on One UI V4.0 - If it Says "Updated for One UI V4.0" or something like that - Should be fine - Obviously a Plugin that was last updated in July, 2021 isn't going to support One UI V4.0.

Don't just assume that all the Plugins have been updated - The Devs have lives too.

We are responsible to at least check the basics.
[Android Apps and Games] drivel2787:
That's what I'm trying to say I have followed the video. Once you get to my themes part it doesn't work. I'm not your average user. I'm an IT dude
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Well a couple of things - Didn't get the One UI V4.0 update this morning on my S20 Ultra Snapdragon variant & I don't know why it's not working for you - It's working fine for everyone HEX's Telegram Group that I have seen.
[Android Apps and Games] drivel2787:
I have installed Shizuku, I install hex installer, I go in an setup ADB.... I have done it wirelessly and I have also done it connected to the PC via ADB. It then opens hex installer, and closes immediately, and I can go no further... LOL. I'm uploading a screen recording now.... (See below)... I get through the steps.... I get to open my themes... It force closes, can't go any further.
[Android Apps and Games] VonSparq:
I've talked to a plugin dev about the issue and they claim that though they plan to update their plugins to OUI 4.0 it's for aesthetic reasons, OneUI 3.1 or even 3.0 plugins seem to work fine and the crashes are more or less randomly happening due to the new Themepark based theme applying method Hex now uses.
[Android Apps and Games] HaggleLad:
Same issue here. Desperately looking for a solution so I can use FNG with my Samsung S10e. Help!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
{Mod edit. Oswald Boelcke} - But I believe that some people said they could use it with Root?

Google removed the overscan api from Android 11 on - So that's why it should not work properly any longer.
[Android Apps and Games] penggali:
Download samsung theme park on apk mirror
[Android Apps and Games] drivel2787:
Do they have pre built themes?
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
I think that Theme Park does - But why would you want one if you want to use HEX?

You're only using Theme Park as a "hook" for HEX Themes on One UI V4.0.
[Android Apps and Games] d.cortez:
ahhh... i missed the memo that Themepark is "the hook" now. that explains why Hex is working on my S21 Ultra with Themepark. no luck with the Galaxy Fold 3 tho; even with Themepark, the Fold3 bootlooped requiring me to start from scratch.
[Android Apps and Games] drivel2787:
I finally goti t ONCE enough to apply a theme then force closes (but at least I got it changed).
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
If your Fold is still running One UI V3.1.1 - That's likely to be the problem - I don't *THINK* that the new method works on 3.1.1. - But if it's been updated to One UI V4.0 it should work.
[Android Apps and Games] d.cortez:
Hex is working on my Fold 3 w/ One UI4.0. thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Acedooncoon:
I ran into that issue. I got stuck on a boot loop and had to factory reset my phone (Z Fold 3). I'm on Android 12 OneUI 4.0

I'm not sure if I had anything running in the background...or what plug-ins may or may not have caused it....but I definitely had a got stuck in a bootloop.

So if you're going to go forth with it....I will definitely say do a backup BEFORE u proceed...just in case.

I will be trying it again now that I have everything set back on my phone. I miss using #HEX
[Android Apps and Games] Acedooncoon:
I got stuck on the bootloop on my Z Fold 3 as well. Had to start from scratch....after safe mode.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
There's a ⚠️ warning to have a backup - But it's only happened to a few people - And it seems to be Random?
[Android Apps and Games] Acedooncoon:
Yea, I saw the warning....but I took a chance anyway and failed lol.

I'll try again and hopefully it doesn't a 2nd time.
[Android Apps and Games] Acedooncoon:
So does anyone know what's causing the bootloops? Is it a specific app we should be looking out for?
[Android Apps and Games] pavichokche:
I've noticed recently reboots take a bit longer than usual, but luckily no boot loop. I have 0 plugins, basically just running the most up-to-date version of what used to be called the 'Bodhisattva' skin, and I did a backup recently just in case :confused:
