PSA: Samsung Android 12 Colour Palette doesn’t support 3rd party themes
Android 12 is equipped with a wonderful feature namely Dynamic Theming, thanks to Google’s new Material You design language. With One UI 4.0 and One UI 4.1, Samsung also brings this feature as Colour Palette to eligible Galaxy devices, however, it’s noteworthy that it doesn’t support 3rd party themes.
Samsung lets its consumers use various types of themes with user-generated customization, directly through the Galaxy Store app. However, the Android 12’s Colour Palette seems to be not supported while using 3rd party themes on some or all Samsung smartphones running One UI 4.1.

According to some Samsung consumers, the Galaxy Themes app shows an on-screen prompt that you need to use the default theme in case you want to use Colour Palette functionality. Also, the Galaxy Themes app crashes sometimes if the user tries to alter the phone’s theme.

It’s worth mentioning that only a few consumers reported having such issues with the Colour Palette functionality. However, we can assume that all the themes created by 3rd party developers and customers aren’t supporting the Android 12’s Dynamic Theming feature.
One UI 5 Beta
Samsung is reportedly working to start the Android 13-based One UI 5 Beta program for the Galaxy devices by July 2022. If the company begins Beta testing earlier than the last year, the Public rollout is likely to begin earlier too, most possibly in early October this year.
With the One UI 5, Samsung will further improve the functions debuted with the Android 12 upgrade. The same applies to the Colour Palette feature too as the Korean tech giant may let consumers use third-party themes and the Colour Palette feature, together.
