One of the most in-demand features of the Samsung Galaxy S6 is its Theme Engine.  With the Theme Engine, you can change the entire look of your device.

  • Samsung Galaxy Note 4
  • Samsung Galaxy S4
  • Samsung Galaxy S5

  1. You need to have root access on your device. if you are not already rooted, do so.
  2. You need to be already running Lollipop, Stock Android (TouchWiz).

  4. After downloading and installing Root Explorer, set the permisions to rw-r-r- for every copied APK file.
