Google has evolved customization in Android 12 by offering a way to change system colors depending on the wallpaper chosen by the user. Included in Material You, this palette of dynamic themes can be further expanded using Repainter, an application that offers any color scheme imaginable.
The introduction of Android 12 brought about a revolution in device design with this system: Material You Dynamic Colors allows the system and the application interface to adapt in color to the wallpaper. All automatically; even if there is manual customization. Especially with Repainter: this app is a marvel.
Choose the color combinations you like the most
As we said, Hardware You can automatically customize a large part of the phone’s elements, always according to the colors of the wallpaper. Android 12 lets you choose between a selection of palettes created from the inspiration of the wallpaper, still without the user being able to create their own. This is precisely what Repainter is dedicated to.
The app further enhances the capabilities of Material You to provide the user with many more color options. It’s even possible create color palettes from scratch, for this there is a full color picker. All with the different gradient combinations selectable from the screen.
Repainter starts from the initial color selection created by the system to expand the selectable options to many more combinations. In this way, and just by choosing the one you want, Repainter will apply the palette to the entire phone using Material You’s own tools. In other words, you don’t have to make any changes to the mobile since Repainter adapts to the system itself.
Although Repainter uses the default Material You tools, it won’t work on all phones with the same requirements.
- The first is obvious: It is essential that the mobile is updated to Android 12 and which includes Material You Dynamic Colors among its options.
- Depending on the brand, ROOT access may be required. In the Pixel and Samsung it works without this requirement.
- Not all options in Repainter are accessible without admin access: the usual thing is that it allows customization of tones if the mobile is updated to Android 12.
- Custom ROMs with Repainter compatibility can apply color changes without issue. All other phones need ROOT to get the benefits of the app.
We tested Repainter on our Google Pixel 6 and Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra without problems: the choice of shades applies to the entire phone (Samsung must restart after each change; plus the Shizuku app). Repainter offers a large number of possibilities (in color customization) and allows adapt the interface to everyone’s visual tastes. We found it impressive.
Repainter is a marvel of an app that dramatically improves the customization of all Android 12 devices that have access to Material You Dynamic Colors. The main disadvantage is that the application is paid: Repainting costs 5.49 dollars. Our recommendation is to try it on your device and make sure it works. If not, return it before Google Play’s refund period expires.
