Google Lists Pixel ‘Theme Packs’ App on Play Store as Feature Awaits Activation

Installation currently has no visible effect pending a system update that enables the new customization bundles.

Overview

  • Google published the Theme packs listing to the Play Store on November 4, according to 9to5Google.
  • The app targets Pixel phones only under package com.google.android.apps.pixel.customizationbundle.
  • Theme packs promise a one-tap refresh of wallpaper, Dynamic Color, app icons, clock, ringtones and notifications, and Gboard GIFs.
  • The first seasonal option is Wicked: For Good with three styles named For Good, Glinda, and Elphaba.
  • Early installs do little because activation appears tied to a forthcoming system update, with reports differing on compatible models.
