Android Central Question

My text messages have been out if of order, like I send one and the reply says it came a minute before, so I thought I would try getting rid of as much customization as possible to fix it, it is really annoying. In the themes I can not delete the one I'm currently using, and there is no default selection. There are default selections for wallpapers, but not themes. I've only been given the option to reapply the current theme. Thanks in advance for any help!

You can't delete a theme, the phone has to have one. You can replace it (but the theme is just the look of the icons and the wallpaper, it has nothing to do with text messages).

(Without a theme - disabling the current one - your icons wouldn't have any look, they'd be invisible. And your wallpaper would probably be plain black or plain white. If you wanted to revert to the original, you should have saved your icons and wallpaper before changing it. There are a lot of apps in the Play store to do those things.)

The original is in the Samsung theme store, click on themes and at the top where it says my themes click view all and select default.

Thank you, thank you. I have been trying for weeks to change this and your answer is the only one that actually worked!
