@feraltek: If you press and hold on a space on your Home screen and tap 'Themes' at the bottom, you can explore some alternate aesthetics for your tablet via the Galaxy Store.

When I press and hold there are three options at the bottom of the screen - Wallpapers, Widgets, and Home Screen Settings. There is no "Themes".

Please can you confirm the model number of your tablet along with the current Android version, and I will look into this further for you.

Model SM-T290. Android 9. Home Screen Version 10.0.15.79

Thanks for checking it. It's new with hardly anything altered from default, and only ten apps added.

I've looked into this and sadly the Galaxy Tab A doesn't support the Samsung Theme service. If you open the Galaxy Store and search 'Themes' then there are a number of third party options for you to explore, but please be aware that these will be at a cost. Apologies for any disappointment this may cause you.

I was just wondering if this would be an added benefit in the future? Meaning, will the galaxy tab a devices eventually support the theme service? I sure hope so otherwise I'm out.

This is disgusting.

The device is obviously limited on purpose.

So is this the case for the entire Tab A series? I have a Tab A7 Lite and would love to be able to change the ugly, original icons. I've turned on the Developer options but that lead me nowhere. I never would have bought this tablet had I known it couldn't be fully customized. I thought that's what the whole Galaxy series was all about. If this is the case, that is really 💩y.
