Port Galaxy Tab A apps (Lollipop TW/S6 Like) - Galaxy Tab S General

I've recently downloaded a software file for the Tab A (it's Lollipop 5.0.2) and extracted its content to check out the apks in app and priv app, and to my surprise, this tablet actually has all the apps and weather widgets that comes with the Galaxy S6.
Since the Android version is exactly the same as the one on our Tab S, I was wondering if anybody would be interested in helping me port those apks ? So far I've deodexed them and I've tried replacing the SystemUI as well as the Framework-res but I get a bootloop.
Maybe someone with more experience in porting apks would be interested ?
I can upload the System Dump if anybody wants, just PM me.

Great idea! Surely, using systemUI and framework will crash if you use them. Ummmm, what we can do to port is copy and paste parts, and look over and compare it to ours. I have only ported themes so, trying to replicate everything would be a challenge. Can you post the systemui.apk, framework-res, and anything else that works. I might see and try to port, so no guarantee if I can. ☺ Thanks!
EDIT: how about smart Manger and some apps that's cool ?

I'd love a port as the 5.02 update for the tab s was quite underwhelming for me. Samsung should have unified software, no wonder updates are so slow!

Yes, please upload the System Dump. I pm you.

I asked before in my theme thread,maybe the i9295 guys don't really look at it. I have yet to have anyone provide me with it. If you want the S5 conversion and back in black s5 theme engine,I need those files. It would nice not to have to de-odex them but I'll take what I can get. ADB pull them or use the pull/deoxeder zip in my theme thread. Upload it google drive(this is due to size) send me a link.Then get your s5 on.
Below is link for rom created by me for personl use from stock NE5 for i9295 deodexed and debloated using archi kitchen.Not sure it can do

Thank you very much. I needed the frameworks most of all. Now I can decompile the apks. Expect a theme zip very soon. You'll be first to get it.
Thanks, will wait for it.
I have active display and lockscreen notifications ported for this rom both working. Only lockscreen notifications has a fc when deleting messages on the lockscreen
Great. I wanted to do the active display port also. Maybe I'll look into later. I at work right now. Once Uncle Sam says I can go home. I'll put the theme together.

Would it be possible to make this fully or semi-transparent? Some peeps have managed to do it to the s4 and s5widgets so just wondering whether it could be done to the tab s one

Is it possible to get this working on Android 10 Lineage OS?

100s of Themes Now Available, the Newest and Best just need a test!

Hey guys just need a tester to verify for me that my Theme Park or the individual themes I've ported work for the Note4 as well. Theres over a 100 to choose from: You must have S6 Apps or be using an "S6 Ported" ROM to have really good results otherwise results may very as to how well or full the theme will appear.
100+ THEMES FOR S6 PORTED APPS ON NOTE 4, 3, S5& S4
Individual Themes (a directory, download a zip and flash in FlashFire or Custom Recovery)
If you cant get a certain app to theme its more than likely not a good port. I recommend Albe95's Ports their great!
I also would like my Theme Park tested it does a little more than just visual theme:
dOPE Layers Theme Park
You can use the Theme Park no matter what kind of ROM your on because theres themes for Lollipop or for S6 Lollipop!
to Install download the .zip and run through Custom Recovery, it is built with Aroma!
Thank me if you enjoy, I helped you or donate if you want more releases like this!
Note4 Users Please confirm whats working for you!
thanks for the thanks guys but if you could confirm what you tried and whether or not it worked that'd be awesome!

Post some screens man !! Someone . . . . lots of themes but no preview.
Not work for Note4 dr.ketan L9 Dr.Ketan ROM.
Already flash it from CWM, but boot with no end at Samsung logo.
And i see that apk file store at system/overlay *in your file*, but in my system/overlay there only 1 file.
I already have Ironman Theme before, but all ironman .apk not store at system/overlay.
How to do this manually without flashing from CWM ?
*my rom already support S6 themes*

Who would release a theming repository and app without any galleries? WTF are you thinking?
Please try to adopt it for non rooted phones and sell on play store

not sure that it would be possible. this uses bitsyko's layers in order to theme. im looking into it. ive been trying to convert the themes to layers manager - playstore type of packages if anyone knows how to easily let me know.

thank you for the useful feedback. what theme did you try? also you say your ROM already supports S6 themes? can you download from the theme store and apply to phone and it works perfectly? if so can you please provide me with the directory that the broken down apk files are stored in if its not /system/vendor/overlay... like the ironman.apk you were talking about if its installed on the phone say on an S6 all the apks that are contained in the ironman.apk file (individual apks for theming each app like contacts, mms etc) are all stored in the /data/overlays directory. on an s4 or s5 we use the /system/vendor/overlay directory.
you asked about doing it manually in order to do that unpack the theme zip to phone in a directory you can easily find. then use bitsyko's layers manager and load the .apk files from the theme you want to install. thanks for your help. please report back any more details you can give me.

well I released this for S4 initally. I needed testers for the Note 4/Note 3 and S5. S5 works exactly like the S4 but the Note 4/3 I'm still trying to make sure it will work with stock S6 apps. unfortunately havent gotten much feedback. this isnt officially released yet and do u have any idea how long or much time it would take to upload screenshots for hundreds of themes? christ its taken me months to get this far. thats why I asked that anyone that successfully tries them to post their screens. you can alternatively search for dOPE Theme Park on XDA and view the original S4 page which has only a few screenshots. Ive been focusing on making 2.0 and updated a lot of themes and made a few new ones also added the possibility to individually theme each app so each app has a different theme if wanted.... who criticizes a General post asking for testers?! LOL if I can get a few people to test and get feedback I can finalize this for the Note 4 at which point the release would be located in the proper Note4 Themes/Apps Forum. thanks for your concern

ok I read thru the S6 thread you lead me to. so it seems that Dr K's ROM is a direct port of an S6. Thus the themes would have to be installed off the Store or flashed over an exisiting theme that was already installed. Which means I'd need someone with the theme designer to package one of my themes with generically named files. then install that via script and then flash over the top of a different theme from my theme collection... its weird to me that BitSyko's Layers Manager doesnt work for you guys. Thats what the Samsung Overlays is based on... did you try using it like I suggested? or has anyone tried it? Just download it off the play store and then unpack one of my zips to your phone or whatever then select the .apk files from the theme that you want to install. Using this method would enable u to flash multiple parts of different themes to the phone. So for example you could have Avengers as your Dialer, Captain America as your Contacts, Black Widow as your MMS, Hulk as your Settings and so on (looks like your an Avengers fan lol) would you give that a try or anyone using a different S6 ROM with say Albe95's S6 Ported files give that a shot for me and let me know. I'm still convinced this method will work.

LP 5.1.1 Home apk

Hello!
Could anyone please upload the stock Xperia home apk + lib files (if there are any) for LP 5.1.1?
I've debloated my stock rom a while ago and now I'm working with some themes and I really need the home apk to see any changes and what it would look like on other Xperia phones.
I want to install it as a system app, not on data.
I've downloaded one from apk mirror buy I think it's not the same apk. Frankly I think it's just a clone or something.
I'm quite sick of all this material look and I want to try something different.
Thanks in advance and I hope I've used the right thread!
P.S. I will post some themes here in the near future.

LG G5 UX 5.0 simplified!! G6 theme included..

We didn't have a thread about this here and the ones i did find were dated and confusing.. I have zipped 3 apps to get the lg ux 5.0 on our device.. Simply extract and install home and home selector as regular apk. The 3rd app is a stock theme applied through settings to give the icons the g5 look.. Marries very well together and looks great.. Added g6 theme for the ux 6.0 look..
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0PLOoNmK7L8eVltU2VQUXJwcU0/view?usp=drivesdk
If anyone planned to ask about ux 6.0, i installed it in the same way but it fc when trying to open it.. I think a pro dev need to tweak it to be compatible. Its not impossible.. Its been done on the g2 and g5, but thoughs versions are resigned and only install as regular apks on asop roms. I just dont know how to fully port.. The original apk can be pulled from g6 dump file and is the version to port..
