Cannot change themes using wisbar or custom .tsk files

Hi All,
I am trying to change the themes using custom .tsk files and advanced wisbar, but when i apply the theme, it doesn't work, i mean, only half of it work but botton task bar doesnt get the theme applied to , I read that only black 3.0.1 has this issue fixed, but is it possible to fix this for other custom roms too?
Appreciate your help,
Thanks

I had this just happen when flashing back to a rom I normally use. I just had to hard reset the phone. Something just becomes corrupt and applying any themes didn’t take. Worked fine after the HR, but had reinstall all the apps again…

[Theme] *** Erebos (1.4)*** (JPX/U/Y/JS3/JS5/JS7/JS8)

Hey Guys,
Here is my new Theme called Erebos. I used pele's Black Android Theme as my Base.
There are so many good themes out there, but none of theme could make me really happy, so i decided to create my own theme. This is my first theme and my goal was it to make a really simple and elegant Theme like pele did. That's why you will not find many colours in it
So, what did i change?
- reworked Framework-res.apk
- reworked twframework.apk
- contacts.apk
- dialertabactivity.apk
- phone.apk
- mediaprovider.apk
- clockpackage.apk
- settings.apk
- black market
- black glass gingerbread keyboard
- Android Original Boot Animation
Here are some screenshots that you can imagine how it looks like:
Please make sure, that u have a backup up before flashing my theme.
i'm not responsible for any damage.
Have fun with Erebos !!!
How to Install:
You need a deodexed Rom to install this theme !!!
Download the Zip file and put it on your internal SD Card
Reboot into Clockword Mod Recovery
Choose : install zip from SD Card -> Choose zip file
Users reported that this theme works on:
DocROM JS8 9.9.5 / DocROM v11 JPK
Darkys Rom 9.3 / 9.4 / 9.5
Criskelo's ROM
This theme is not working on JVK !!!
Unfortunately i sold my galaxy s yesterday so there's no gingerbread version of erebos coming. I'm really sry that i can't support this thread anymore. i'm changing to the optimus speed or galaxy s II when it's out and will port my theme to one of these devices then.

(1) download the theme
(2) download the transition animation here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872567&highlight=flip+fly+transition+animation
(3) use 7zip or Winrar open the theme and navigate to /system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/anim and delete the /anim folder (winrar will then prompt you to save changes. Then open the tranistion animation zip file and copy the /anim folder into the above location and save it.

[Q]Why hasnt anyone changed themes in stock SE Theme manager?(2.3.4)

Sony Ericsson was wonderful enough to include a stock theme chooser in our Xperia Plays so I have wondered why are we not customizing them? I see no threads about this at all or where we can share themes for our stock manager so I wanted to start one.
The process of customizing the stock theme manager is very simple and can be done by swapping out pngs within the DefaultThemes.apk. (Simply unzip, swap pics, & rezip)The images are located in "res/drawable-hdpi" folder.These "themes" are not full themes but instead they only affect the background of the dialer, contacts, alarms, calculator, stock messaging app, stock calendar, settings, & music app, & can be used with other themes (i.e ICS).
I do not know how to change the name of the preview images in manager (i.e. Fluorite, orchid, ruby, flow, sunflower, onyx ,& willow) as of yet, but I think I need to edit xml to change this. I would like to get some feedback on this and hope someone will enjoy the customized themes I made. (I have only replaced the stock images so I did not create the wallpapers or images.)
To install this:
1. Your phone must be ROOTED and you should have Root Explorer app(or other Root browser) from market.
2. You should make a backup of your phones DefaultThemes.apk file that is found in System/app folder (but I have included it to download also if you like)
3. You need to change permissions of the file before you move it into its folder. (Picture is included to show the correct permissions)
4. Lastly replace file and reboot phone. Once rebooted you should have new themes (modified themes) in stock theme manager.
Many Screenshots are below. Again...Feedback is appreciated
There are 2 customized versions and the original SE 2.3.4 Default Themes apk. Basically 14 new themes here.
V.2 Custom Themes http://db.tt/oO3RykwG
V. 3 Custom Themes http://db.tt/7YFiAdd7
And Sony Ericsson Stock Original http://db.tt/oWxJ87dU

If dropbox links are not working let me know and I will re-create links or find another way to share.

Got your PM mate, wow thanks I was actually looking for this last week haha will check it out properly later but is bookmarked for now
Jinx13

No problem. I figure there are some really good themes posted here like ICS, Galaxy s2, & someone even just did motoblur. They all put in a lot of work & they came out great.(I use ICS personally). So I thought if I made custom themes for the manager it makes them look even better imo. If you have some images that you want to add or suggestions let me know & ill see what I can do.

[Q] Flashable themes and getting back

Hi guys , till date I have only used theme chooser themes from which switching to other themes is easy , but Is it the same case for cwm flashable themes also ?
Will I be able to switch to other Cm9/aokp themes from Theme chooser ?

Flashable themes that are still around and being updated...theme the portions that are impossible to theme with the theme chooser.
To get back to your stock rom theme...
You must simply flash the rom again without wiping anything.
Keep in mind:
This will also remove:
A ) System apps that you've installed manually (like myself, I install Cerberus as a system app).
B ) Custom Boot audio.
C ) Your custom Kernel if you've installed one.
Anything in the /system/ directory that you changed.
This will NOT change your settings...apps (except system apps, as mentioned) or anything like that.
Themes from theme changer will still work after...
But the missing parts that theme changer themes (or the parts the theme developer left out) will still remain as the theme you flashed.

Thanx . That means if I flash a theme and I can switch to cm9 themes from theme chooser though some parts will be remain themed as it would become the default system theme ?

Yep.
At least if the flashable theme changed anything that the theme chooser cannot change.
Best method (always) is to select the system theme...and then the new theme.
This will clear out anything that theme chooser can theme.
BUT...to completely clear any them that was flashed, flash the rom.zip again.

Group effort to get Theme Center running on Tab S2 & S3

I've also posted this in a thread of the Tab S3 forums, as the stock nougat rom for both is so similar.
Progress so far is that Galaxy Themes installs and runs, but won't download and apply the themes from the store. Next up I'd need to trawl though the logs and see if there are any clues. If anyone has some spare time and wants to help out, I've attached the needed files to this post. Put the Galaxy Themes and ThemeCenter folders in /system/priv-app (set permissions if needed) and change your devices model number to SM-G935F or another theme-supported device in build.prop then reboot.
Attached files are from a deodexed S7 rom.
Screenshots:
1. Themes now appears in settings
2. Theme store
3. Theme downloading
4. Install failed

Grand idea. But side loading themes only works with *root* access, aye?

This my results from from Marshmallow (https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/themes-apps/theme-store-marshmallow-t3394157), im using same method in Nougat firmware, but the results was same. I think it because the Framework things (?) And, the themes itself does not support Tablet resolution (Maybe?) Because, in my results only partial theme aspect is installed (Fonts, wallpaper, etc) and, if you trying to install other theme aspect (ui colors, overlays, etc) manually from extracted theme assets file, you will get "Application Not Installed". Hope you can find a way out! ?

Some package(s) are missing, I'd say. Anyhow, if you are rooted you could simply edit the UI to alter colors etc.

I have managed to somehow apply a theme partially!? I can apply icons and wallpaper part of the latest olympic theme, like I said somehow and I used apk editor pro from playstore to edit and install apk's.
---------- Post added at 05:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 AM ----------
Also managed to install my Note 8 theme store once and it had the new layout that included AOD with Icons Themes and Wallpapers. But it asked to update when I opened galaxy apps and after it updated it reverted to the same theme store you provided.

This is my Tab S2 sm-t815y.

How u got themes?

I had root and cut and paste Samsung theme.apk and Samsung Theme centre.apk into system privapp as well as changed the device ID to S8 using buildprop editor. Then rebooted and had theme store running but not completely.

To have full theme store work you need (the problem is SystemUI.apk)
• ThemeStore and ThemeCenter framework. (your tablet already have it,copy paste the 2 files ,framework support themes....you are ok)
• The new TouchWizHome Launcher from TW Marshmallow,Nougat (your tablet already have it ....you are ok)
• A modded S.7,8,9 SystemUI (You need a SystemUI.apk from Samsung S7 or S8,S9,Note 5,Note7 ported for your tablet ,your SystemUI.apk NOT support themes, )
• A modded build.prop to allow Theme Store to work (it's simple to change name ....you are ok)
Don't copy SystemUI.apk from other phone !! ..You will have bootloop

Nope.... the issue is entire system.... all apk has no support for themes.... it ts still all hardcoded in styles, so overlay theming will never work(well maybe for few items only), the only way is old theming;
that means de/recompile needed apks.... long story just for few and immense work...
Enjoy
