Thank you. This video has been wonderful; with the new HEX access method on One UI4/Andr 12, without the steps shown in that video, I would not have managed to reinstall HEX on my SG Note 10+. Thank you for your amazing work!
[Android Apps and Games] forlaf:
Thank you, without your info I would not have known the Theme Park needs to be installed. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] forlaf:
Just for general info. After getting #Hex to on a newly upgraded Andr 12/One UI 4 on SGN10+, I applied some tweaks from GoodLock. I use Bodhisattva as #Hex package. I increased the home screen icons density to 7 columns, and, as you know, the package already has some smaller sylised icons in #hex; the result aesthetically is amazing. When I look at an unhexed Sammy today with its coin-size icons, it hurts my eyes,

I had Hex for 2 years and , to the developer, many thanks again for making Samsung devices really unique in appearance.
[Android Apps and Games] Kissies4Pigeons:
Update for anybody curious: I am running the new Android 12 One UI 4.0 update on the A52 5G (SM-A526U1) and successfully got Hex running. The first install did a scary restart on me but did not actually boot loop. Subsequent fine tunings appear to go "better" each time in being accepted by the system.
[Android Apps and Games] thepersona:
This is absolutely uninformative, the video has no dialogue to explain what is being done, I've tried for over an hour now to pair my new s22 ultra to my mac with no luck, i enter the sh file into adb and then there is no clear instructions on what to do then, furthermore when I try to wirelessly pair my device to my mac it never works, this is not as simple as it used to be, if anyone can explicitely provide spet by step instructions on how to get this running with a mac I really would appreciate it.

I am losing it with just how difficult this app is to run and set up without clear step by step directions, I have used ADB several times before without issues.

Identified issues, ADB pair does not work when trying to connect my new samsung s22 ultra, I input the code and stuff and it says pairing not successful,

then I pair shizuku app and do it on the phone and it says its successful yet It says there is no wireless connection,

once I connected it via wire to the mac and transferred the zip folder, press enter and then it says there is no such file directory which is not the case as the zip is on my phone, like wtf I have officially lost my patience with this app
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
First off - You don't need to use your computer at all to run Shizuku.

You need to enable Dev Options in About Phone (click on the Build Number 7 times to enable Dev Options).

Then in Dev Options - with your device connected to your WiFi - you Enable Wireless Debugging in Developer Options.

Here's a link to the instructions on how to use Shizuku to enable HEX.

User manual | Shizuku

Let your app use system APIs directly

shizuku.rikka.app

No idea what zip you are trying to use either because you don't need any zip to use either HEX or Shizuku.

The video is pretty straightforward - Just watch it a couple of times.

You need to use Samsung's Theme Park to use HEX on One UI V4.0.
[Android Apps and Games] thepersona:
Thank you for your response and help! I was referring to the instructions on how to use it without shizuku but... I did figure it out finally and feel quite dumb for being frustrated.

Now I just hope I don't get a boot loop and figure out how to avoid it. Sadly my app overlays did not apply for third party apps. Am I supposed to reboot after applying my theme to see the full changes?
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Some people needed to Reboot - But only once - I haven't had to on my S20 Ultra Snapdragon variant running One UI V4.0.

If you do have to Reboot to see the HEX Theme applied - It's not a bug - Just seems that some devices need to - If you're using Shizuku - Just open Dev Options again & enable Wireless Debugging - Run Shizuku & you can then use HEX again if you want to modify your Theme.
[Android Apps and Games] ffp.:
Is it possible to apply everything from one plugin and then only the quick settings icon from another? When I tried that, without checking any app box, the regular settings icons changed too...
[Android Apps and Games] Xode:
Yes...and if you are a pro user, you can use more than one plugin..
[Android Apps and Games] ffp.:
How? And what you mean by pro user? The app is paid.
[Android Apps and Games] Xode:
By donating, you become a pro user
[Android Apps and Games] ffp.:
Only pro users can apply more than one plugins?
[Android Apps and Games] Xode:
Man, with a donation you become a pro user and then you can combine more than one plugins as you wish ... here my example
[Android Apps and Games] ffp.:
I see. I donated and got pro. The option to mix plugins was there, however, after applying, the mixture didn't work. It just applied the maon plugging, ignoring my option to change statusbar and quick settings. What can I be doing wrong?

Edit: I tries with other plugin and the one I wanted the statusbar+QS icons and it worked. Why it didn't with the first one I tried? Maybe they are incompatible? There is such a thing?
[Android Apps and Games] p40403:
This app I purchased before also donated to become a paid member

Now I bought a new phone and I have to pay again?
[Android Apps and Games] larryk:
No, it should just transfer...mine did
[Android Apps and Games] Dr.Gonzo105:
Does this app work with one UI 4.1?

Wanna use it with s22 ultra

Has anyone tried?
[Android Apps and Games] AthlonGFX:
I'm currently using it on the S22 Ultra and it's working fine for me
[Android Apps and Games] jonathan ramirez87:
View attachment 5566797friends how can I solve this error, please
[Android Apps and Games] R_eliks:
Unfortunately, the S21 Ultra OneUI 4.1 CVC4 Hex does not work. Everything looks normal when installing the Hex theme, but nothing happens.
[Android Apps and Games] Ruku1994:
I have exactly the same problem on Fold 3 OneUI 4.1. Before the update everything worked. Now it looks like the theme compiles with no errors but when it applies you only get park theme look. Nothing changes.
[Android Apps and Games] chrristin:
Yup, exactly what happened to me as well. If there is an existing hex themepark theme that was working, it will continue to work, though no new edits will be applied.

I cleared everything. Now I am on the Theme Park theme. HEXED+ works for 10 minutes :D
[Android Apps and Games] R_eliks:
Today the HEX Installer update and everything is already running on OneUI 4.1, great job :)
[Android Apps and Games] prasto11:
S21 - OneUI 4.1 - Android 12

HEX is working, theme is applied, but I can't resize the navbar now. I check it in the setting, set size to 0 and it stays the same after the new theme is applied.

Anybody have the same issue? Possible fix please?
[Android Apps and Games] mdc0ffey:
As far as I can tell from the hex telegram feed Samsung has moved the code for the nav bar and the dev hasn't located it yet so we may have to wait a bit.
[Android Apps and Games] Tangotime:
How did you manage to get working ? I've got the S22U and hex installer doesn't even get passed the storage permission page. When I try to select the hex folder a blank screen shows up and nothing happens.

One UI 4.1 of course

March update
[Android Apps and Games] Ruku1994:
The newest version works ok for me. About storage permission thing - it is a different problem but I also faced it. It wants stock google files app (com.google.android.documentsui) to set the storage permission. Mine just got disabled by samsung due to it not being used :). After I re enabled it everything worked.
[Android Apps and Games] Tangotime:
After a bit of digging I found out that it's looking for the stock files app. I was able to locate it, edit and delete it with no option at all to enable it. Even after deleting it and trying to install it again, it tells me that the package is conflicting with another apk.

Even went far to delete samsung's my files.

Weird!
[Android Apps and Games] VonSparq:
@envy~ Could you please add an option to pick (or automatically apply based on current primary/accent colors) a Material You accent color scheme for the unthemed or unthemable apps that normally use it, like the Play Store or the One Hand quick settings panel tand some other system apps hat always stay in the default blue when using a HEX theme?
[Android Apps and Games] ffp.:
Is anyone else having trouble to make QS background opaque? It only gets fully opaque when I use AOSP S plugin. All the other plugins make the bg transparent, even if I set 255 (opaque).
[Android Apps and Games] cd993:
When choosing amoled black notifications, despite having Notification Divider enabled, there's no outline or border around them. Is there a setting that can achieve this?
[Android Apps and Games] 白い熊:
I can't donate – to get the Pro version. I have it installed from the store, but when I press Donate no Play store payment pop-up jumps up - the hex just goes back to its mainscreen and that's it.

What could be wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] wyt18:
Does this allow one to develop themes for third party / Google apps like Home, Voice, Maps, etc? Or just certain predefined apps only
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
There's a list of supported apps in the app itself. HEX+ supports up to 72 apps.

Apologies for the screen shot - You'll have to zoom in to see the list of apps.
[Android Apps and Games] pdglv:
This is my first post here.

I just downloaded Hex and have absolutely no idea how it works, I basically just saw something catered towards OneUI customization and clicked "purchase". 🤷

I hope you guys don't mind, but I have a few (probably very stupid) questions.

How safe is it on OneUI 4.1 (for someone who doesn't know **** about rooting, debugging and such)?

How do I know if it's working properly?

Can I fix it if something goes wrong? (And if so, how exactly?)

I apologize if I'm being too much of a burden, I just can't seem to find anything explaining this type of stuff to total noobs like me.

Thank you very much in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
I'm using HEX Installer on my S20 Ultra Snapdragon variant running One UI V4.1 - Works perfectly - It does NOT require Root!

Out of I don't know how many people - Probably less than half a dozen people had a Bootloop - Extremely rare & it's not a HEX issue.

Regardless as to whether you use HEX, or anything else - You should ALWAYS have a very recent Backup - Your phone could be lost - Stolen or damaged - Have a BACKUP!

{Mod edit. Oswald Boelcke}
[Android Apps and Games] lemonade747:
I'm using S22U and got one problem.

I just can open the Hex Installer for the first time and apply theme then let say after some hours or a day when I came back and open Hex Installer, it just quickly closed and got back to the home screen. I tried clearing cache, force stop, set unrestricted battery but no help. Any ideas what to fix that problem? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Matthewboi520:
Yeah still doesn't work. S10 Plus running Andriod 12
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
You mean that it reverts to the Default Samsung Theme?

Did you use Shizuku to enable HEX?

Can you post a screen shot of HEX's adb set up screen?

Rooted or not?

If you have Root - Deny Root access for HEX & use Shizuku - Watch the video again.

But it's almost certainly user error - HEX is DEFINITELY working on One UI V4.x using Shizuku 100%

Show HEX's adb set up screen - Needs to look like this.
[Android Apps and Games] lemonade747:
No I mean it's still in Hex theme because the theme is exactly what I customized using Hex. I used ADB via a cable to enable Hex installer. I'm pretty sure that I got the same as the screenshot you sent above. For now as I described above, I couldn't open Hex anymore; just click on Hex then it closed quickly. Already tried clearing cache, force stop, set unrestricted battery but still the same.

One thing weird here: If I tried to open Hex multiple times (like 30-40 times continuously because it always closes immediately), I can get into the app and see my theme and settings there, but it's frustrating to repeat that.

You can see my problem in the attached video.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Clear Cache & Data for HEX & Uninstall & Reinstall HEX from the Play Store.

I've never seen this happen before - To anyone.

Maybe Clear Cache & Data for Galaxy Themes & Themepark as well.

That IS DEFINITELY weird.
[Android Apps and Games] lemonade747:
Do I need to set up the ADB again after I uninstall and reinstall it? If yes then I'll try it when I'm home since I'm working now. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Not sure why you are bothering with adb & your computer?

Wireless Debugging & Shizuku takes less than a couple of seconds to run - All you need is a WiFi connection & Pair Shizuku with HEX once.

But yeah - I'd do what I suggested.

{Mod edit. Oswald Boelcke}
[Android Apps and Games] midu2:
The following problem was previously described on the Telegram channel {Mod edit. Oswald Boelcke} but has now been fixed... Please update your Hex Installer to the most recent version in order to use newer versions of Theme Park!

THEMEPARK UPDATE ISSUE

-Latest Themepark update 1.0.09.32 breaks SystemUI theming! -DO NOT UPDATE to this build and wait until further notice -If you happen to do so, delete all your themepark themes and downgrade your ThemePark app to this: (uninstall latest themepark if necessary) https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...?key=d8b7ef59732a5f04dfa28fd7819056ae85385ecb -then make a new themepark theme base to use it with hex.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
{Mod edit: Quoted post has been deleted}

Just an FYI -You may get into a bit of trouble promoting Telegram Groups here ..

I personally don't have any issues with it -But I believe that it's against the rules ...Just Sayin'
[Android Apps and Games] Dart_Z28:
I have a question. So my icons when you oull down the notifications bar. Won't change. To ggle the sound, wifi, Bluetooth etc. It's a theme from the hex I even downloaded the recommended plugin and nothing
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
{Mod edit. Oswald Boelcke} -There was a Themepark update that has temporarily broken part of HEX -You need to Uninstall the update to Themepark &Download a previous version from apk mirror.

You want Themepark v1.0.09.29

Delete all your previous Themepark themes &build new .
[Android Apps and Games] Sea-Wolf:

Actually - I'm not sure if it's even breaking any rules?

But I did receive a "reply" of sorts - From one individual here on XDA - Who took exception to my referring someone to a Telegram Group..

I didn't bother replying to them at the time - Simply because I wasn't sure if my response would have been in keeping with "being respectful".

Their post is in the screen shot.

I'd be happy to hear your thoughts on their opinion...

View attachment 5678819
[Android Apps and Games] Sea-Wolf:
Well, as far as I can see there's nothing in the rules against it, so they're just wrong on that point.

Everyone links to things on the web, that's just a fundamental part of how it works. If there's a relevant resource that's useful (no matter if it's a web page, forum, download or messaging group) then linking to it is totally what you should do. Those Telegram groups are super useful for all things #Hex and if people have a #Hex question/issue and that's the place to get the right answer then I think it's completely approriate to point them there.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Yeah - It's kind of ridiculous that if you have information & you have to keep it to yourself & lots of Devs are on Telegram so you can't just ignore that reality.

Of course you are going to try to help here - But not everyone has all the answers.

Sometimes you risk offending someone's delicate sensibilities... But it is what it is.
[Android Apps and Games] Dart_Z28:
I did. But I didn't do a reboot after downgrading....?
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Don't think that you HAVE to Reboot after reverting Themepark.. Don't think that I did..

Did you turn off Auto Update on the Galaxy Store & check that Themepark didn't update again?
[Android Apps and Games] midu2:
I believe that the rule changes made my post permissible. Thanks for looking out though 😎

Yeah I don't know if it was an actual "rule" - or if someone was just being overly protective of XDA - Or just overly sensitive?

I certainly don't have any 2nd thoughts about referring people to the best answers / information.
[Android Apps and Games] midu2:
The need for a post explaining a rule change suggests that a rule did exist, but I am not sure about the exact details. I imagine that people were abusing useless links to Telegram for self gain, and the new rule is meant to prevent such abuse without stopping people from sharing helpful resources.

Also, I probably should have pointed out that I have no affiliation with any of the channels that I linked to other than having joined each channel.

Thank goodness for the rule change, because Telegram is where the bulk of Hex discussion and resource sharing occurs.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Don't know if there was any post explaining anything - At least not officially as far as I know..
[Android Apps and Games] Dart_Z28:
Ill

it's off. I will try again. But I see the hex from before... cam I still create and name it hex again?
[Android Apps and Games] Dart_Z28:
Once I got the two green lights.
[Android Apps and Games] Dart_Z28:
I tried to apply a theme from hex and only partial of it works.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
What version of Themepark is installed on your device?

I'll bet it's v1.0.9.32.
[Android Apps and Games] Dart_Z28:
Do I need to have high contrast when applying. I don't see it only the regukar hexed+ o want a full theme plugin I paid for to work...
[Android Apps and Games] Dart_Z28:
Any help on why applying the theme. It only does partial. But when you apply the default. After that one I don't see high contrast only hexed plus... not sure if that's why...
[Android Apps and Games] midu2:
The latest version of Hex Installer now works properly with the newer version of Theme Park. Make sure to update both!
[Android Apps and Games] Dart_Z28:
Ok I'll update theme park
[Android Apps and Games] Dart_Z28:
But does high contrast pop up when choosing a theme after applying default? For you?
[Android Apps and Games] Dart_Z28:
Some of the theme gets applied. Menu and icons. But not the pull down toggles...
[Android Apps and Games] lemonade747:
Is Hex installer still working with OneUI 5 beta? Anyone tried this?
[Android Apps and Games] mdc0ffey:
Did you try system ui toggle in theme park settings? Worked for me.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
On One UI V4.x You no longer use the Blue High Contrast Theme.
[Android Apps and Games] Dart_Z28:
No I didn't try that. I Uninstaller everything and started from scratch. And I had one theme work except the wall paper wasn't applied. I'm kind of scared to click on another theme lol. I'll try soon and see if ot sticks. Thx
[Android Apps and Games] Dart_Z28:
Ohh man that's good to know. I seen the way it was set up and there was a blue high contrast on the steps. For me u didn't see it so I was thinking I did some wrong.

I have one theme that stuck except the wall paper.

I just restarted the whole thing from scratch. Now I'm afraid to try a different theme lol.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Watch the video & follow the instructions
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
You need to have Themepark installed on your device - Make any theme (doesn't matter because it will be replaced by the HEX Theme) - Save it - Build a HEX Theme & follow the instructions in the video.
[Android Apps and Games] KGroder:
For a novice. Humor me. I have used this before several years back. How safe is this security wise?
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
"Security wise" - In what way?

I have no concerns about my device's security using HEX Installer - You are simply applying Overlays & using Themepark to get it done.

It's just an evolution from using the Blue High Contrast Theme - But Samsung Blocked that method - So this method works for now.
[Android Apps and Games] KGroder:
Just initiating adb with a 3rd party and not being smart enough in a tech way to fully understand or be able to dissect what's happening

I mainly did it historically just to get the simple pixel/aosp signal bars. Do not like the samsung ones
[Android Apps and Games] lemonade747:
Is Hex Installer compatible with OneUI5 beta yet? Are you planning to make it work properly on OneUI5? I haven't tried it yet since I got bootloop one time and need to do factory reset and it's a pain for me. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Devs don't spend / waste time on Betas - Some people have reported that HEX is working +- on the One UI Beta v5.0.

But you are on your own if you have any issues.

HEX does NOT officially support any Betas.
[Android Apps and Games] lemonade747:
Thanks! This is the answer I need.
[Android Apps and Games] wyt18:
is there an official list of themed third-party apps for HEX?
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Probably - But it's likely outdated as Devs have been focused on keeping HEX working.

But when you open the app - "Personalize" - You'll see what is Supported in "Apps".
[Android Apps and Games] Dart_Z28:
I do have park installed. I followed a video on line. I still haven't switched to a different theme. I just have the one that finally worked/stuck. I'll try a different theme today.
[Android Apps and Games] d.cortez:
Just an FYI on my experiene with the Galaxy Fold 4, OneUI 4.1.1.... i can build theme in Themepark (i named it HexTheme) , build a theme in Hex, but when i'm prompted to apply the Themepark theme (HexTheme), it no longer exists. it appears to be deleted. i don't see my Themepark theme in in the Themepark app nor the native Samsung Themes app. i receive a message that says Hexed+ is not installed.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
One UI V4.1.1 appears to have broken Themepark
[Android Apps and Games] shalabhvickysom:
Can anyone confirm if Hex is working on OneUI 5?
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
No - Maybe - But not officially supported.

Almost no Dev in their right mind would be working on Betas - As anything can change.

Some people who updated to the Beta with HEX applied report that it was still applied - Others reporte licencing issues?
[Android Apps and Games] shalabhvickysom:
OK thanks a lot for this info. Yeah makes sense, don't know what they might change in the next Beta. I actually don't know how these things work, I was under the impression that developers test their apps with the newer android version when it comes out, but I guess that's with stock android. Anyways I have uninstalled Hex for now, just in case it creates an issue. Will be upgrading to OneUI 5 soon. Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
For independent Devs it wouldn't make sense as unlike with in-house Samsung Devs - They don't know what Samsung is up to.

I think HEX's Devs probably peek at the Betas (if they have a supported device - But because they don't know what changes Samsung can make between Betas & Stable there's no point in trying to solve any potential issues - That and the real possibility that Samsung could find out whether or not HEX Devs have a solution on the Betas & then Samsung shuts the door completely.
