Did Android Messages revert back to the original one (vs. the updated material design 2) that came out the other day via the apks? Just curious if this happened to others, too.
Yes, others have reported the same issue.... but don't know why.
They came out with the theme but forgot to add the ability to name group chats. When Pixel 3 is released so will the new version of AM.

I've been trying all kinds of Tricks to get the dark theme to come back... I only had the dark theme for 24 hours... It looked great and now I'm sad that it's gone.

I have replaced the new (IMO not so good) music and thumbnails within the Sense 5.5 Android 4.3 ZeroEditing.apk. They still appear in the Highlights section of the gallery under the new theme names only they show the old thumbs and use the old music.....
Hope this is helpful for some. I missed the old music too much and wanted it native. I've tried to pull both new and old through but I don't know enough about developing to get it working. Maybe someone else can.

Thanks mate, i will test it. I like more the Sense 5 themes than Sense 5.5. Any way to get both versions working together?
Thanks mate! I like Sense 5 themes more! :highfive::highfive::good:
just noticed that I've put one of the old mp3's in twice so I'll fix it and re-upload.
Note that this apk doesn't include the old 'themes' as such. Just the old music. I'm looking in to how to incorporate the old themes. It is definitely possible but as I'm new to this it's taking me a little while... But it's fun learning
I recently updated and miss the old highlights as well, For some reason I don't even have the normal themes like Gotham, poloaris, etc anymore when I upgraded, I have 12 completely different ones. Perhaps its a difference in the European version? I have been trying to see if I could combine these all as well but haven't had any luck. Any progress by any chance?

It's not just you it's universal. It seems there's not many of us that are annoyed by the change and removal of the good old themes.... Such a shame.... I'm revisiting this project for a bit though to see if I can figure something out.... There must be a way to bring all the themes through.
Aside from the stickers which don't interest me, will themes look different on the 10? Or exactly the same as on the m8, m9?
I was particularly interested in the 'switches' in settings, the Quick Tiles, and the contacts/dialer.
I've only seen video of the stickers so far. Not a single reviewer seems to have tried a theme and then moved around the UI.
The UI has changed quite a bit. The strings menu now comes in the known and nearly stock Android look and contact pictures on the list view of the respective App are round instead of squares to name some of them.

Well I was sad to get a reply on reddit from a dude with the phone saying the themes don't change the colors/switches in the settings menu. See here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/4hi77y/just_got_my_htc_10/
Wish themes changed things like status bar icons, I'm not a big fan of Sense Wifi icons lol
Yes petty but im way too used to stock.
Regardless HTC's theme engine as I thought, looks lackluster in comparison to say Touchwiz's, which changes more elements of the UI e.g. menu's, notifcation tray etc

Well @sykopompos said this a while back in the google+ layers community...
"If any of you run across marshmallow OEM roms (not nexus or Android one, these are aosp) or get one for your device (I know the g4 has one out there), post them up.
Make a dump of the system, if you don't know how, just ask (be prepared to use adb)
Since layers works on stock marshmallow natively, it should work on any OEM marshmallow rom (besides cm obviously) and chances are high that the resources might be different and themes could be made/modified to work with these OEM Roms.
We are only interested in marshmallow Roms though since they will have full native support and the changes Google made in marshmallow."
Hopefully somebodys needs to get him a dump!

So we need to get a system dump, give it to him, and hope it looks promising
EDIT: what @King p1n said lol
Okay so, if HTC made it easy, I would have the answer for this or at least a way of asking them about it. Maybe someone reading this can help.
My M8 is still pretty boss in the line of HTC flagship phones, but I am not thrilled with most of the user-created themes that currently exist for download. I just spent a few hours designing a kick-ass theme using their new web browser-based Theme Maker Pro (Google it, because I can't post the link). I am so proud of it, that I published it for review to share with others on the Themes app.
Unfortunately, when I downloaded the theme from the Themes app onto my phone, there are missing elements. My main home wallpaper won't show, nor does the custom All Apps button. Now here's the kicker. The Great 'Maker' allowed me to upload a super high-res photo to divide into three home screen panels, which no theme currently has on my phone. Likewise, no theme currently has a custom All Apps button either. Not to mention, I've never even heard of wallpaper "stickers" which the Maker required me to create as well.
So, my conclusion is that the whole new Themes Maker is geared towards the new line-up of phones- the M9/10. But what's they got that I don't got?! I know my M8 is updated to the latest *Sense 7* and Lollipop. So, why won't these elements appear? They should say this on the themes website as well.
Can anyone help me out with this? My obsession isn't healthy I know, but that theme took a long ass time to make!

I made a mistake in posting this. I have sense 7. There's nothing to upgrade it past in settings. Is there a sense 8 now for M8?

Ah. Well, its not worth it for me to do anything unofficial since I have Verizon. Sure hope they roll out 8 soon, although Lollipop took forever to come to the M8.

Try InsertCoin ICE 8.0.6 MM Sense 7 based but with sense 8 apps and looks like sense 8.Also support verzion and etc kind of sh!ts.
Well, that's the question. I'm gathering some credits trough Google Rewards and i'm pretty interested in buying the Substratum extension made for Android Oreo. But first i want to know if someone has tried the app in this phone to avoid some useless purchase. Something that i miss from my old Moto X Style is the customization. I could root this thing to do it without any plugin but so far i'm not interested in rooting and all that.

I didn't find any replacements..
I think if You dont wanna root Your phone You should buy Andromeda rootless backend - support devs, because it works.
I'm currenly using the Andromeda... It does work but with some errors n doesn't work well with all themes...
I've got something to show..
Thanks guys. I'll buy it anytime soon then.
I have been using it on 0.8 Verizon edition with no probs, sais oreo theme is a pretty good dark theme.
I am using it. Everything was working until the most recent security update for oreo. Although it may have been me updating my theme, which i did after the security update.
I can't stand all the ads on this phone. Ugh.
I use it with stock Oreo 8.0.0. No issues.
Black theme (forgot the name but it is the most popular one) is nice for the notification bar and settings menu.
Which theme is that?

Its working fine, I'm experiencing no lags.
Black looks beautiful and being AMOLED saves battery also.
Notification issue
The Default Dark Theme works except for some notifications that keep having dark text on dark background (see first notification on the attached image). Is there any way to fix that? My device is not rooted.

I am currently using a pitch black theme that is called Sai's Oreo Theme: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=baka.sai.oreo&hl=en
I`ve been using Default Dark from F-Droid. Basically switches the Phones/Contacts/Settings/QSettings etc to dark.
The app has one annoyance to it cause you got to connect the phone to the pc if you want to use substratum.
The good stuff is that applied theme survives reboot, so it`s not so bad in the end.
Hello :
Please understand im not a themer but I like tweaking this beast so...
Ive worked painstakingly on this for months. I mean months. For those who know theme galaxy is fabulous. But getting it down packed digging deep into the features to get your s**t the way you want it . Wow. Many hair pulling episodes and sleepless nights. Fellow tweakers understand. But id work with it for days... weeks.. then give up... wait a couple of weeks.. months maybe. But I didn't delete the app. It was just there in the back of my mind. Literally lol. Like id think of how to tame it. Take courage and try again. Everytime I thought I had it... some menu id forgotten.... or some other crap would pop up. At first id leave it. In some cases it was just a minor defect in only a few areas. Like not being able to see text or icons. But that too bugged me to be figured out.
This is what I came up with. I may be open to answering questions in between the busy schedule... or maybe you tweak it and take it further or different. Up to you. Btw you MUST have theme galaxy on your phone. I donated but don't know how this will come out on the phones of those who haven't.
Take no credit for that app.... THEME GALAXY.....btw isn't that developer incredible?!! I've understood the genius actually now that I know how to use it. Props @@ sathishtony. His work can be found here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-themediy-samsung-galaxy-s8-s7-s6-j-t3685010
BUT I did pull this theme together using it as I think he intended. Enjoy.
I Take no responsibility if your phone blows up. But it shouldn't
Btw - BWG= black white and gray. Duh. :silly:

I have spent endless hours with themegalaxy myself. You did a great job. Swift Black with Substratum since the Oreo update is really hard to beat though. Not nearly as much time and since I don't have to do the computer thing anymore it's gravy.
Thanks. My first theme actually.
I have to check out the substratum again. That sounds much simpler than all I went thru for this lol
But part of me secretly likes the tinkerers struggle.
They have added a bunch of Samsung related overlays, and continue to dial it in a couple times a week. I hear you on the tinkering. I built free and premium themes for the Note 4 til I finally upgraded. Now everything is so locked tight that it just isn't even worth messing with. Some days I'm tempted to sell my Note 8 just to get out from under the payments and go back to my S7 Edge as soon as the Oreo update hits.
Thanks. I used substratum months ago and it didn't like my phone or something I did so i just deleted. Will give it a go again. AND i know who I'll be asking for tips.
I like the theme i did in TG but there are so many areas i can't get to with it.. or haven't figured it out yet and have given up.
Yeah pretty soon i think you won't be able to modify any of the phones. Security concerns cited smh

Updated it some. Worked some text visibility issues out. Changed some colors around so the accent and main color is more graphite than grey. Think it's as close to perfect as it's going to get unless I notice issues.
Hey if anyone else created some cool themes feel free to share them.
Nice work brother.
Thanks!

Hello:
Could anyone that's tried these tell me if they showed all system areas properly? When I first created each I shared the apks to my wife's s9 and they worked fine with just minor imperfections ... but when I lost my files I just downloaded these and they look totally wonky now.
How can it be uninstalled?
I dont see it in apps list.

I think you'd need the project file from themegalaxy of let's say one of my themes and compile it/save it using the app on your own phone for it to work properly. Using the APks I've created I notice its hit or miss with installation .
Download link for project file of my latest dark ui theme. Import this into theme galaxy then build/ install into samsung themes. I used just regular black wallpaper... and tha black icon pack found in Google play. Don't know if the project file includes these so just in case.

I actually just bought the OnePlus 6T so right now I can't theme at all.
