App Folder color change option missing.

usersxSQDOYtQx — Tue, 13 May 2025 17:01:42 GMT

After I updated to one UI 7 on my s24 ultra, I noticed the option to change the color of my app folders is gone. I only see an option to name the folder. I also updated my tab S10 Plus to one UI 7 and the option IS available on my tablet but not on my phone. Any suggestions?

Open the folder. There is a color change icon on the top right corner.

Right, but that option is now gone on my phone only.

That's strange. Mine is on the top right corner when the folder is opened.

Yes, thats how I see it on my tablet, but not on phone. Do you have one ui7?

Which One UI version is on your tablet?

Both the same, 7.

@usersxSQDOYtQx I'm still seeing it on my phones and Tablet. All have UI 7.

Did you wipe the device cache partition after the update? I recommend that you do this after every device update. It wipes out incompatible or outdated cache information which might be incompatible after the update. It does not erase any user data nor applications.

To wipe the device cache partition:

1. Power off your device.
2. Power up while holding down the Volume up key and the Side key until the Samsung logo appears.
3. An Android recovery menu will appear.
4. Use the Volume down key to scroll down to Wipe cache partition.
5. Click the side key to select it.
6. Use the Volume down key to scroll down to Yes.
7. Click the side key to select it. The Cache will be wiped almost instantaneously.
8. Click the side key to select "Reboot system now"

Yep. I came across a YouTube video saying that and I did it on my phone and my mom's phone.

Are you using icon packs or color palette option?

If that is the case, yes it was taken away. You will now need to use Goodlock and the Themepark module.

It seems Samsung in its infinite wisdom has decided to offload most of customizing to Goodlock.

They must be using icon pack or color palette options.

They have taken away thus feature when not using default icons.

I'm using Color palette and I am still able to choose the folder colors.

Not if you use Goodlock Themepark. They took it away in Ui7. You use to be able to still edit folder colors.

They have offloaded it all to Goodlock Themepark.

The poster doesn't have that option anymore when they use Themepark. It was taken away in Ui7.

I just enabled Theme park. Created a new theme, applied it, and I can still edit the folder colors.

It appears that the folder colors choice only disappears when you apply an icon change.

Exactly, they took it away in Ui7. Offloaded it to Themepark module only.

You are casting your net too wide.

To say its Theme park is incorrect. You can use many parts of Theme park without an issue. It is only if you use custom icons in Theme park.

I have a Theme (not ThemePark) applied now. I wonder if thats it. On my S10Plus Tablet, I do not have a Theme applied, and I DO see the Folder color change option.

After reading your responses, I tested it by removing the Theme I had applied and set it to default theme/wallpaper it has when the phone comes out of the box and it appears that was the issue!! Thank you all for your feedback!! 👏🏼. You helped me figure out the issue. Good feedback!
