    That’s what broke the straw and made me install Pixel Experience A12. No regrets, beside having no volte/vowifi which should be helped by downgrading firmware.

  2. Arnas_Z

    Connect phone via adb to your PC, and type this command `adb shell pm enable whatever.themes.package.name.is`

    To find the package name of the Themes app, you cab use an app called App Inspector on the Play Store.

    Same.

    I got this too and me on autopilot made the shitty mistake of disabling Themes. Although I can still see the app it cannot be enabled again

  5. A4K0SAN

    Didnt get this because i had play protect turned off because i know what im doing

  6. BiruGoPoke

    I had disabled the app… went on apkmirror, downloaded the last version, updated and everything is back to normal, even play protect isn’t saying anything.

  7. Skepller

    They have and it’s fixed already.

  8. InfiniteAsk9010

    To uninstall updates,

    Long press the themes app icon, Select app info, Then uninstall updates at the bottom of the screen.

  13. 1chlorambucil

    I also disabled Themes but I got it back just by downloading its APK and installing it.

    This is the link: [https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/xiaomi-inc/miui-theme-app/miui-theme-app-2-1-0-4-global-release/xiaomi-themes-2-1-0-4-global-android-apk-download/](https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/xiaomi-inc/miui-theme-app/miui-theme-app-2-1-0-4-global-release/xiaomi-themes-2-1-0-4-global-android-apk-download/)

  15. Dr1pp1ngB1ood

    Thank you, will read.

  16. Competitive_Bad6685

    No need to do this big process. Just go to app management in settings. Search themes app then uninstall updates. Thats all!!

  18. razgeez

    I got the same today, disabled it. Not gonna miss the themes app at all

  19. alexx_kidd

    It’s true

  20. Key-Avocado3

    Thanks! It really works 😊😊🙏👏

  21. defnotathrow72

    I highly believe this as well, Google Play Protect is prone to mislabeling apps as malicious even though they are not.

  22. TrailOfEnvy

    Maybe remove its tracker?

  23. d4zaiii

    disabling it means u won’t even be able to change wallpapers that’s why i have kept it

  24. Koysana

    I got this too just disabled it anyway will enable again when I need it and remove updates as mentioned

  25. Opening_Ranger_2098

    OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH IM CRYING INSIDE WHEN I FOUND OUT THIS LINK. THANK YOU SAVE MY ASS

  26. MrTheManYT

    And that’s why I want to get it back

  27. Racist_G

    Same happened to me and my dumass deleted it and regretted it so it took me hour to get that app back

  28. quentiamus

    my themes app is gone, how to fix it??

  29. d4zaiii

    just go to setting > app manager > then click three dots at upper right and tap show system apps > find themes click on it and tap uninstall updates then it would come back and if it doesn’t then just install the latest mi theme store apk from Google after doing the same process

  30. pratiknair

    Can i install a rom without rooting my phone. I would like to use Google Pay and rooting won’t allow me to use it.

  31. Any_Power7146

    Just go to Settings >> Apps >> Manage Apps >> Click the 3 dots upper right >> Reset Preference. Then Theme will be visible again. ☑️☑️

  32. InfiniteAsk9010

    Uninstalling the updates for the app will stop it being seen as a security risk.

    If you have disabled it and need to get it back,

    Themes APP got blocked by Google Play Protect

  33. tob_ix88

    Go to settings > apps > themes > remove updates. It’ll work again.

  34. d4zaiii

    i think so but dk they haven’t said anything officially

  35. MrTheManYT

    I removed updates, it didn’t work. What did work however was the disabling of app preferences

  36. horizontal120

    tnx for the fix .. it works now …

  37. yourTrolly

    This video has so much irony it cured my iron deficiency LOL

  38. Salt-Arachnid5325

    They stopped updating my Redmi note 7 and kept me out of Android 11+, it’s much more fluid now on LineageOS and not bloated. The only thing I miss is the weather app funny translation

  39. MrDoctor175

    Of course you can. Rooting your phone isn’t important for installing custom roms
