It seems that the zipalign.exe that you are using is not the proper one.Try to find another one, check the sizes and retry.

Yes, you have to zipalign your apk file otherwise it will not be accepted by playstore.

If you only want to provide it without uploading it to the market I guess it is ok.

Themes Factory Beta jnlp problem

I had to reformat my computer. I have all of the environment variables in place, blah blah blah, But when I click on the "themesfactorybeta.jnlp" file it is asking me which program i would like to open it with.

Help please...

[Android Themes] herkha:
What's going wrong ?
[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
In your project folder open AndroidManifest.xml and remove all 5 permissions from the bottom. You can use Notepad but I highly recommend Notepad++.

The themes don't need any permissions and will run fine. On the contrary, the presence of such permissions may be detrimental to your themes' sales.

[Android Themes] Link_of_Hyrule:
The link in my guide is not working correctly right now because GO Android is having problems with their blogs so they are down! Make sure you have the folder as the path what ever folder is in C:\Program Files\Java\ should be the one you use.

Also are you running the ThemeFactory using the .bat file and running it as Administrator? It will not work if you don't run it as Administrator and I haven't found a way to run the .jnlp file as Admin.

If your JDK is installed correctly and you run it as Admin and you set the correct variables you should be able to export. What is the error you have when you try to export?

If you can't get it to export post the theme project folder as a rar or zip in the thread and one of us will export it for you. :)
[Android Themes] lostarchon:
Hi, could somebody please export this theme I made so I can apply it on my phone? I've been having trouble exporting it, even though I've installed JDK properly.

Thanks a bunch :D

[Android Themes] parjoe:
Hey all...first post here. Thanks for the tutorial btw Link_of_Hyrule!

Just hoping I could get a little help making my .apk work. I can get an .apk exported and everything, but then when I go to install it it just says 'application not installed'! I'm baffled.

--For those having trouble with the environment variables though....

I think you have to include the \bin\ at the end of it. And I put it in that top section (rather than system variables) with a new variable named PATH.

I also put the gothemesfactory_beta folder on my main drive which was the only way I could get the program to start.

Then again, I haven't successfully made an .apk work so you may not want to take my advice :D
[Android Themes] adsamcik:
Make sure you have installed JDK and have set JDK environment variable?

I have reinstalled JDK many times and still same problem so something must be wrong in variables. Screenshot of all set variables would be really awesome :)

btw. I have actually JDK v.1.7.0 I also changed folder name. Should I put those variables to system or user? and ofc I run it as admin.

EDIT://

javap version is working but program still not. Maybe something is wrong with my Theme factory because I wasn't able to download it from official source
[Android Themes] Link_of_Hyrule:
Maybe you should try using an older version of the java jdk make sure you also have the java jre. :) I'm having to setup the ThemeFactory on my new laptop so I'll tell you how it goes with the newest SDK.

EDIT: I updated the OP with the correct mods to the Environmental Variables needed for ThemeFactory to work. :p

EDIT: after some experimentation i've found that you must install Java SE 6 Update 26 JDK in order for the ThemeFactory to work version 7 will not work! When I used the newer SDK it gave me the Application was not installed error as well.
[Android Themes] lostarchon:
Quick question: It seems like we're referencing ANT_HOME at the Environmental Variables.

What is ANT_HOME?
[Android Themes] Link_of_Hyrule:
No idea That's just what I had on mine maybe that end part is for something different you can try removing it and see if everything still works. Small suggestion on your theme make the basic icon background just black doing have that weird squiggly thing behind it :)

could it be a problem caused by 64bit operating systems?

it works fine on a new virtual machine with win7 prof x86 and jdk6 u26, but I can't get it working on my laptop with win7 prof x64 and jdk6 u26.
[Android Themes] TweetyPeety:
I am not even getting there to create my own theme. I made everything with the variables and I am using Java SDK 1.6.0.26

Everything works until I try to change the Icons. I can choose some from the standard design, but when I click on my own ones and try to rechoose them I can see them but when I click on confirm nothing happens. The window doesn't close, nothing happes, the only thing I can to is to cancel it or choose a standard Icon.

Somebody an Idea
[Android Themes] adsamcik:
Yea that would also explain my problem also. I have Win7 Ultimate x64 and I had jdk6 u26 before but it didnt worked... I'll try it again but problem is maybe with 64bit os... If it wouldnt work I'll try it on my older notebook with x86 win xp
[Android Themes] leodis:
Hello everyone, I would try to solve a problem that I carry around now forever.

If you make a new theme, the program creates a blue icon, which serves as a backdrop to all the icons that do not come in 72x72, in hdpi-drawable folder with the name of iconback.png

I have downloaded some themes to go-launcher ex, which always have this folder even 5 icons background (iconback.png, iconback2.png, iconback3.png, iconback4.png and iconback5.png)

The effect is very nice, but I have not found a way to implement it in themesfactory.

I wrote to them, but I have not yet responded.

Unfortunately the program damn hard to change these issues, keeping the iconback 5.
[Android Themes] Link_of_Hyrule:
I have not tried using ThemeFactory in x64. But the confirm issue is caused by not running the program as an administrator if you create the .bat file and right click it and click "run as administrator" then it will run the program as admin and let you click confirm.

Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt!
[Android Themes] lostarchon:
I was finally able to make a theme~!

Here's what I've learned:

Java (JDK & JRE) has to be the Java SE 6 Update 26 x86 version, regardless of what you're running (I'm running Windows 7 x64, and tried both: only the x86 works properly with ThemeMaker)

Grab them here:

JDK

JRE

Grab the Windows x86 versions (Offline, if you're getting the JRE too)

Next, follow Hyrule's instruction on Post #1 in setting up your Environment Variables.

Make a System Variable with these properties:

Variable Name: JAVA_HOME

Path: %systemroot%\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_26

Then, look for PATH in your system variables (it was "Path" on mine, I just capitalized it, to be sure) then add

;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;

The ;%ANT_HOME%\bin; is unnecessary, as it references to ANT Apache installation file (no idea why that was there, though).

I've found that making the bat file really isn't really that important, as I can still run the JNLP file and export WITHOUT admin permissions, but if you want to be safe, go ahead and run it like how Hyrule mentioned.

OH and my theme:

Inspired by Roosticity Icon Set found here.

Hope y'all like it.
[Android Themes] regueiro:
For those who still have issues exporting:

When you click export, the app creates a file in C: called 3g_GoLauncher_dev_createApkFile_makeAll.bat

Just run it and you should get an apk in the directory you told the app to save the exported theme.

If the theme has errors it won't create the apk. In that case run the .bat from a command prompt and check what went wrong.
[Android Themes] Fr4:
My first test :)
[Android Themes] Link_of_Hyrule:
Well you can always manually replace them in the folder if you can't get them to replace in the actual app. Just save it close the program replace the images then reopen and export.

EDIT: Updated OP

System Variable:

Same as above, plus: QTJAVA=C:\Java\jre6\lib\ext\QTJava.zip

When it was working, the path was: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_26 in all of them.

I "copypasted" the entire Java dir to the root, C:\Java, and still doesn't work.

All GO Launcher Icons In My Theme Are Small!

Hi guys, I created a GO Theme using ThemeFactoryBeta and all my custom icons are normal sized, but the regular icons are 1/4 size they should be. I am a noob at theming and this is my first theme. I used a clear 72X72 picture as a background for the regular icons because I don't want theme to have a background, and I think that's where I messed Up. If anyone could help, or teach me a better way to do this that would be awesome, thank you!

First you need to install Java JDK 6 update26 x86. Download the whole thing HERE. Apparently, the export of works with themes in other Java versions do not works this here so be sure and remove any other versions before! Even if its a 64bit operating system you take the x86 version!

and then you can adding the variables^^

I'm trying for a week now but i don't know what is going wrong. I made a theme and i wanted to import more icons than the usual ones. I tried editing drawable.xml , appfilter.xml and placing the icons in res/drawable-hdpi. I saved it but it doesn't change the icons but keeps the default ones.

The only way i managed to get it done is by importing directly apks into themefactory. I also tried to edit the files manually and reopen the theme.apk on themefactory. But when i press extract it gives a number of errors. Is manually editing drawable.xml and appfilter.xml enough to import new icons or not ?

Add icons?

Hey!

I am stucked with this icons.

You can see people on Play Store have like 500+ icons for their themes but how do they do that?

I don't understand how to add a custom icon for a app that isn't in the library.

Let's say i want to add a custom icon for Dropbox or Spotify, how do i do?

It says "Only APK-files are supported" when i press the "Add Icon" button.

So do i really need to download all the apk's to my computer first and then upload them?

If thats the case i need to find a place where i can download apk's to my computer.

I dont know if i'm stupid but this really makes me mad!

I also have another quick question:

If you donwload from google play, you get the loading error when you try to apply the theme. But if you download the apk file and install it, anywhere but google play it works. At first i thought that it was google's fault, but sometime last month, the godevteam released a patch for the desktop version of the sms theme maker that fixed the loading problem.

Anyone have an idea where the problem is?
