How to disable theme center on the note 5?

[W-Zaki]

Hey every body, this is the 1st time to post something here hoping to find the answer to my problem. As a habit, I have my note 5 n920c rooted since day one which is over a year now and since then I have been able to use free trial themes all the time and disable the samsung theme center using titanium backup as I cannot use package disabler because of the root. Recently I found that I'm not able to do so any more and each time I try to freeze the app through titanium I get this message "Themes 3.0.0.0 has been frozen (disabled in your system) and is invisible from the app drawer", I contacted titanium backup support team but no answer, tried lucky patcher but no luck. This was happening in the stock rooted rom (6.0.1). I switched to a note 7 port (crisscross) rom and same result, I even tried to use package disabler pro on my wife's non-rooted stock s7 edge and no luck either. Not sure what's going on and I wonder if there is any means to temporarily disable the theme center again.
Thanks in advance.

Two days back I found Injustice theme and it was amazing.
Got OTA for sep security patch and since then I am not able to clear data for themes hence I can't stop trial.

Has anyone found any other way to use themes.

Guys the only solution is to Force Close it with Titanium Backup, that shuts down the timer. Themes-Special Features-Force Close App. Next time you open up the Theme Store the timer will be back on but you can force close it again. No need to disable anything.

Strange, hmmmm, try Force Closing both Themes and Theme Store, or try different version of Titanium Backup. It works with 7.4.0.2

Why didn't i think of that? Been using the 7.5.0 version for a while, downgraded to 7.4.0.2 and strangely i could forcestop the themes app. Now I can keep the trial theme running "thanks bro". I still cannot freeze it though, guess I'll have to settle with that for now.

Yeah I can't freeze it as well, but it's better than nothing. Glad I helped.

Another way for people who haven't rooted their device is that after applying the theme just go to settings>developer options>running services & click on themes and force stop it.

Xda is what taught me how to do it. I did not find this out on my own. I'm not rich. That's why I love android. Xda is top notch for teaching you how to succeed with android for free. When you are dirt poor xda has taught me how to do everything. Just ask Google a question and type xda after it.

That doesn't mean you should go around posting how to do it! Developers spend a lot of time making stuff and ripping them off is why a lot of them don't post their work!

First of all I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, the reason I started this thread was for me to find out how to be able to use themes that I came across in different forums including xda which their developers are posting them for free outside the official samsung theme store which you know already is very dull and boring. The important thing is we even don't have the paid theme store where I live .
Sorry again for the misunderstanding, it won't happen again ?.

I would say using the free one's that are outside of xda aren't an issue. The problem is that it looks like this entire thread is about ways to get around having to pay for the app by doing certain thing's.. Many of us developers spend a lot of time making certain apps and other software, but how do you think we feel when we come on xda and see people giving out ways to avoid paying us for the many many hours sitting at a computer to make stuff so that you can have the different types of apps and stuff? I don't think you'd like that if it was your own app or theme that people were talking about especially on here where it's supposed to be for developers in the first place!
