Samsung Galaxy A7 (2017) Not Accepting Themed AODs Anymore

[CelticViking]

Samsung Galaxy A7 (2017) on Android 7.0 w/ Samsung Themes v4.0.98.80319

Until recently, one of my options for the Always On Display was to use what came with a theme (for those that supplied AODs). If I selected something else, that option disappeared; however, I could get it back simply by re-applying the theme.

Without warning my AOD changed to the default and I lost the themed option in the AOD settings. Reapplying, or even deleting/ reinstalling doesn't give me the themed option back.

What's changed? Or has an updated somewhere meant that I now have to grant a permission somewhere (which I haven't found yet)?

Suggestions appreciated.

Hello,

There were some news posted earlier this month stating that this feature was removed from non flagship devices because it caused problems such as glitching. I remember reading it in the update, but I can't find the update notes from the Galaxy Apps Store.

If you go to settings and then apps, and find the AOD app, tap the three buttons on the upper right corner and tap on uninstall updates.

Hope this helps.

Yep, uninstalling the updates did the trick. Thanks.
