This is an alpha build for testing/development by those who know the risk!
It may destroy all your data, brick your phone or make other permanent changes to your device.
You have been warned!
This launcher, in its current form, was pieced together as a PROOF OF CONCEPT ONLY!
This is a launcher based off the stock Sammy launcher.
It was originally the default launcher in a ROM I was building for the GN2, now I have SGS3.
I Will Not Be Continuing Development

FAQ:
Can I Use/Fix this launcher as a project and call it my own?
---Have at it. Thats why its here. Just hit thanks.
Can I use this launcher as a daily?
---No, but if you must i would suggest changing the priority of the launcher so it stays in memory.
Why does the launcher look weird after i come back to it?
---Float variables, because i am not undertaking a smali rewrite.
Will this cause battery drain?
---Yes. On my device it doesn't seem bad but your mileage may vary.

Samsung theme added a new option in nougat for note 5 and other devices to change only icons. The problem is that icon library is quite limited. Although some themes have great icons but do let you apply icons alone (not so thoughtful of Samsung).
This method here let you use any samsung theme icon without applying that theme, Follow the complete guide here on XDA
Hello,
This is a theme that i made for myself (honor 9 lite user) and i decided to share it with everyone
This theme features :
AOSP style lock screen
Oreo style icons (with shadow)
Clean user interface with white system apps
Clean new navigation buttons made from scratch
Rectangle notifications
Changed colors for quick settings (More modern look)
Reduced gap next to signal icon
Some HTC style elements here and there
Download link : Click here
How to install :
1. Copy .hwt file into one of the following folders in your internal memory :
/HWthemes or /Themes or /Huawei/Themes
2. Close the themes app and reopen it to refresh
I've gotta tell, it's pretty good. I might just stick to this.
Appreciate your work ?.
And it's good to see the forums getting live again, it's been dead for a while.
Downloading now, the theme looks nice from the pics. I prefer simplistic themes myself.
Worked on my Honor 8 Lite(PRA-LX1), then some meaningless google security update came out and now the theme is enabled but everything except the gray-ish status bar color is not working shame i really liked the nav bar and the lock screen thou
I appreciate your work dude. I loved you theme.

You're correct I made my own dark theme, and only just checked and I notice the same issue. I will have a look for the offending white line, and see if I can find where it's coming from.

Some news Sir?
Black EMUI 9 themes on Huawei Mediapad M5 10.8
Hi Guys and Gals
I've made some tests with offered EMUI 9 themes by Themes Manager. There are a lot of dark themes which are suitable for our Mediapad. I found best solutions with Deep+Black-1.9-NL.hwt and Evanescence-v.4.NL.hwt both developed by XDA Recognized Themer maurydes.
Unfortunately there are some problems especially with Settings and Contacts. There is an ugly white background behind Settings caption. The subheadings on Contacts changing from good looking in portrait mode to bad looking form in landscape mode.

Dark theme
I have long searched for a theme with a dark background in settings, contacts and other Huawei programs for my Huawei Mediapad M5 10.8 with EMUI 9.1. With the large number of themes tested, problems typically arise when displaying texts or symbols in various fields of the respective programs. Either there is light text on a light background or dark text on a dark background, so that in extreme cases there is no legibility. The best results in my tests were Evanescence-v.4.1-Full-9.1 (although I don't like the icons - OK, you can change them).
However, there are still some rough edges.
As with many other themes, the narrow gray delimiters between the groups of contacts when changing to landscape mode mutate into wide white stripes in which the letters visually disappear. Well then you have to use the contacts program and only in portrait mode.
In the themes program, individual symbols disappear in the same color background - e.g. the trash icons for deleting themes.
So far I have not found any serious problems in the settings. If you disregard the fact that the switch in the settings is not easy to recognize and that you cannot recognize the trash can in the themes program here either.
Enjoy !

Mediapad M5 Themes
When a service was carried out by a authorized workshop (the well-known USB-C wobbler), a 'proper' Themes app was also installed on my media pad (CMR-AL09), in which, in addition to the few pre-installed ones, some new themes appeared in the store. These are all 'real' Themes for the media pad with a large screen and landscape and portrait view. Among other things, can be seen from the thumbnails in the topics. Themes for phones include no preview images for landscape mode and therefore cannot be displayed in landscape mode in the Themes app. The Magazine Unlock Method is also defined in some of these Themes, and I had no idea how it worked before.
Theme files with the ending .hwt are actually zip files with picture elements - called drawable - and xml files, in which the modifications are described. These are evaluated by the EMUI system for EMUI's own elements. The individual files such as com.example.android.notepad are also zip files that in turn contain drawables and xml files. They are evaluated by framework-res for general Android apps or its extension by Huawei framework-res-hwext for Android and EMUI apps. The file com.example.android.notepad is therefore responsible for the Huawei App Notepad.
A lack of all offered Mediapad Themes is, however, that no apps change their appearance. For example, no dark Themes for settings, contacts etc. are realized
I have modified one of the offered Mediapad Themes. I have inserted the program components for modifying various apps from other Themes that are actually intended for phones. I have among other things uses the themes Evanescence Full (LCD) .hwt, Nightlike.hwt and Skyline.hwt from the range of the Themes Manager app from the Google Play Store. I've also experimented a little with a few different lock screen solutions. E.g. a dynamic lock scene realized with the help of the ZookingSoft Theme Engine.
Sounds like you've done a good job creating a theme that best imitates dark mode for use on the mediatab. You should upload your theme for us to download and use?
Puzzles me why Huawei would remove a feature that's already built into android 9, overall I am not keen on their take on android in general - it seems a bit butchered.
Hi folks,
I'm a happy owner of a Xiaomi Note 11 phone and a very unhappy user of the latest Android 13 based LOS20, due to the impossible color scheme introduced in Android 12.
I'm basically using the dark theme and I have a really hard time reading the usual (system font) text, which is small and has a really bad contrast being by default grey-blueish. I found no (documented) way to change that system font color and LOS20 has a series of basic colors (one dumber than the other) in the Wallpaper & Style settings, none of which having a white default color.
I enabled high contrast in the Display settings, the system font got really white, but if it gets displayed over a non-black background, then a stupid halo like shadow is displayed around it making the reading again very difficult.
Here I found more complaints about Google's UI colors choice since Android 12:
In Android 12 can you manually change text color without using themes or changing wallpaper? - Google Pixel Community
I tried that Repainter App and it didn't even start on my LOS without Google Apps subsystem (that's why I run LOS in the first place).
Repainter v1.2.0 brings new Material You theme styles for unrooted Android 13 and OneUI 4.x devices
Repainter v1.2.0 brings new Material You theme styles for unrooted Android 13 and OneUi 4.x devices, and you can learn about them here.
www.xda-developers.com
I'm wondering why the LOS devs didn't correct this UI design issue, since there are a lot of voices (plenty of links on goggle search) complaining about this poor UI/color design choice by Google since Android 12.
I'd be very happy if some of you more knowledgeable could point me to what file to edit/hack (phone is rooted) in order to set the system font on white.
Thanks in advance!
