WOW! Becoming a Samsung Mobile UI Themes Designer

If you are interested in designing and selling UI themes for Samsung mobile devices, you must first pass a design evaluation. *NOTE: The requirement for submitting a Themes portfolio has changed since this video was posted. 3 complete UI designs are now required, not 1. To simplify the process, a single PDF file containing all designs must be submitted. ZIP files containing JPGs are no longer accepted.

Join Samsung Developers Senior Evangelist, Tony Morelan for the webinar, "WOW! Submitting A Great Mobile Device UI Themes Portfolio”.

Below are links to helpful resources that were covered during the webinar:

It's amazing that you have to go through all this just to get access to the program... and your themes have to be approved of. 95% of the themes in the samsung store are HORRIBLE and ugly! I just want to be able to create a theme for myself.

So the requirements are high, that's said themes in store should be good. But sadly it isn't a thing. Almost all of them looks bad if not all. They are too exaggerated and the icons... ugh. They aren't even close to the one's from Google play I can download for free...

In my case, i just wanted to create my own themes to use personally on my own phone and i'm disappointed we're forced to pass through a review exam just to get this theme studio software.
There is no criteria so they simply choose if you can or cannot become a theme designer based on their own tastes, simply scandalous because it's my phone, i have my own tastes and if i want to make an ugly-looking theme it's my own choice. What's more ? It's only at certain time of year so you cannot become one whenever you want...

HTC and Huawei have their own tools free for use to make personal themes and they are reviewed for showing off to public in the theme app only at this time and if you want to show them to everyone.

The only way now for me to create my own theme on a Samsung is to jailbreak it and change the theme with root privileges.
Thanks Samsung.

Look man, I don't wanna make themes for the general public to be sold on your storefront. I just want to make themes for myself! Please make Galaxy Themes Studio available for everyone to download. Make it so only developers can upload them to the store, sure, but let the general public make their own themes

Hi! Does copyright remain with the artist? If yes, let's say I have items on Galaxy Themes. Will I still be able to sell them on my own website/store (for Android users who are using a different phone brand)? Or should the theme be exclusively available on Galaxy Themes? Thanks!

Very helpful info thank you. I just downloaded the starter kit and will be submitting a application very soon.

[GearheadGaming]

I think anyone should have access to the theme studio but to sell you have to pass the review first personal I want to make a custom one for my phone and am not interested in selling them

[cutieputtie]

Can I just make a theme for personal use 😩😩 all the themes in store are not cute enough

[NviusProducer]

Anyone else notice that a samsung developer is using a FRICKING APPLE COMPUTER!?!?!?

[goosek.i.a.]

I dont even know how i found all this iv been designing for 4 years and knowing i can sell my works is just exciting

[theunforgiven]

I hope to approve, the instructions may not be difficult to follow, but I only speak Spanish.

[margvinc]

Awesome info and what a great opportunity for people with a creative passion.

[Ostin-G]

I will definitely try it on the weekend, if it is still relevant!

[Ghost_]

I'm totally satisfied with the stock theme 🙂

[vrecabarren]

PLEASE, MAKE IT ACCCESIBLE FOR EVERY ONE AND REVISE ONLY IF SOMEONE WANTS TO SELL THEMES

[coreywashington]

Copyright question... Does that mean using sports team logos ect are not allowed?
I don't see much sports themes if any in the theme store.. us sports fans love our teams & would be perfect to theme our phones in the different sport seasons..

Also yall should make it to where you have to register if you want to sell your themes to the public, that way people can just make themes for personal use only.. no harm in letting people choose to sell or use for personal taste 🤷

[Sage-Poets]

is there any other theme designer app aside from the one used in here?

[chaymaa.b]

Hii, i just have a question
So I'm using sketchbook Autodesk to design the wallpapers but when i tried to use the screen size 144× 144 for designing the icons, does not work . So my question is: can I use the size 1440×1440 for icons in sketchbook instead of 144×144? Thank you

Hi Samsung Developers, basically, I have to add a mock template as part of my portfolio for the partnership application(becoming a theme designer), however I find the directions a little confusing. Is it correct to say that all I have to do is save my final mock theme in a jpg format, and call it a day? Or do I have to save it as some other sort of file type?
Do i need to use photoshop? Can u please give examples of some other programs
Many thanks

Hi. I missed this year’s enrollment and the website says that enrollment for next year wont be announced until June. Is there a reason its so late in the year? Thanks.
