Theming your phone is nothing new, but companies like HTC and Samsung are making it easier than ever with their new Theming apps. After spending time with both the One M9 and the Galaxy S6, it’s clear that HTC has an early lead since it’s so easy to create your own themes on the phone itself.
Samsung, on the other hand, is pushing for developers to create themes. However, it appears that you really don’t need any prior development experience to create themes for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge.
Unfortunately themes can’t be created on the phone, but Samsung has a desktop Theme Editor that is a simple drag and drop approach so you can see exactly how the theme will look on the device. Creators will be able to change the images, sounds, and fonts of 14 pre-installed applications.
If you want to be a theme developer you need to follow these steps…
- Sign up for a Samsung account, if you do not already have one.
- Complete required information and submit the Request page.
- Decide whether to participate in the partnership through communication with a person in charge from Samsung.
- Develop a theme using Theme Editor and register it in the Theme Store.
Themes will be in the APK file format, and developers will be able to easily upload them to the Theme Store via the Theme Editor.
For starters, only the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge will be able to utilize themes, but Samsung will bring the feature to other Galaxy phones in the future.
Samsung’s path to theming will probably not generate as many themes since the average person will probably not go through this process. On the other hand, Samsung will sell a lot more devices than HTC will so they are likely to attract some really nice designers.
