This is the new version. It is now web based:

gotheme.3g.cn/golauncherthemefactory/
[Android Themes] Jekmyster:
So what you are saying that the desktop version is outdated and i need to use the web based theme factory?

If that is the case, how am i to update the existing themes i have now in google play. Im sure that the Android package name will be totaly different. And since its web based i'm sure that they will not allow to edit the AndroidManifest.xml document or any other xml document for that matter,
[Android Themes] jsmccabe78:
Yes and no.

There is nothing special about the online version. You can keep compiling on your desktop but you'll need to add things to your xmls, etc. I've never used any official generator but decompile their themes and steal what I need. I didn't want to lose my app package name, ya know?

does this male sense?

If you know how to decompile dl my theme and take it apart. I am about to upload a new version with the folder add signs. Is a good base.

Cheers.
[Android Themes] Jekmyster:
I've used the Go Launcher Theme maker online version and it seems it works. I have no problem with themes not loading in jellybean anymore.

The problem now is with what you were suggesting. I also make go Contact themes, and since there are no theme makers for the Go contacts so i decompile and edit other go contacts and recompile theme and upload it in google play. These are the ones having problems with phones running on jellybean. Most of the emails i get are coming from Galaxy S3 and Note 2, altho there are some HTCs and Sony phone models.

I also noticed something. Using the online version of the Go Launcher Theme maker, i made 2 themes. One is free and the other is paid. It seems that the paid version has a loading problem and the free is just fine. Could it be that google patches the apk files differently with the paid ones?

So far these are my observations. For references, i get the apk file using app backup and restore from my phone. Decompile it using apktool, edit the graphics and xml files. recompile them with apktool, sign the apk file with jarsigner, and then zipalign them before uploading in the play market. Am i doing it wrong?
[Android Themes] jsmccabe78:
You're doing everything I do. I have no triage skills so if works, great, if not I try again but have no idea what I'm doing!

best of luck.

This thread is very obsolete at this point. Time to work on something more up to date such as icon packs and the CM11 theme engine with have far more options.

Hey, thanks for this thread, cuzz this is what got me the link to the themefactory and got me launched.

Here's my theme for golauncher ex.Here's my theme for golauncher ex.

It's a Fallout theme, with art deco style homescreen and pipboy style appdrawer.
[Android Themes] weeeeeww:
help plzz.

i have some icons and want to see how it looks on my phone
[Android Themes] Link_of_Hyrule:
Well you can use ThemeFactory to put them in a theme or you can download a go launcher icon pack and unpackage it then put your icons in it and resign it but idk how to do all that it's probably easier just to make a theme with the icons.
[Android Themes] t-ryder:
You made and posted some cool themes there. Roosticity is pretty cool I guess.

I tried to get this to work too, but the go themesFactory is so damn buggy... I always get problems with the compiled apk files (not installable), and the tool itself giving errors (the endless folder path saving bug, errors regarding to the name of the theme etc. etc.). I used the template with the scripts, the guide pdf, the java tool (beta) and somehow I managed it to get one theme done (and released it at the market). But when trying for the second time, well - hours wasted. No luck. Must be a problem with the xml or java.r files. I have no clue. Tried a hundred times to get the second theme to work. :(

Azooz's Android Themes

Hopefully this is the right thread to post my Go Launcher EX themes :)

My themes are made via the GO Launcher EX template not themes factory

I wanna start with my latest/ Awesomest theme:

iPhone 3.0 for GO Launcher EX (current version: v1.3 )

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex.theme.iphone3azooz&feature=search_result

Theme packed with over 140 icons :D

Love the iconpack? I shared it in both PNG and SVG format here: http://eseth.net/forum/showthread.php?t=5958 (download v1.0 pack then v1.3)

I also would like it if you guys uploaded your Android themes in www.eseth.net, we are a small community who would like to become bigger with your help please :)

[Android Themes] AzoozThemes:
Delete all the icons in you theme's folder>res>drawable-hdpi , hope this helps :)
[Android Themes] Link_of_Hyrule:
Awesome theme although I'm anti-apple lol. Anyways provide a link to the APK or market link and a thumbnail and I will put it in the OP!
[Android Themes] AzoozThemes:
lol, woops I forgot to do that xD, added the link :)
[Android Themes] Terolex:
I follow all instruction but when I want export my theme:

"make sure you have installed JDK and have set the JDK evironnement variable"

and nothing...

Config:

Win 7 x64

:(

EDIT: I resolve my problem. I share my work soon ^^
[Android Themes] AzoozThemes:
Just one question, what thumbnail do you want exactly :P
[Android Themes] AzoozThemes:
Because I have already posted a screenshot, if you want a smaller version if thats what you requested :

PS. I added the download link in my First post
[Android Themes] t-ryder:
Ha! Found the failure: One has to use JDK6 and correct paths. It won't work with JDK7! That's why my compiled .APKs would not be installable.
[Android Themes] Link_of_Hyrule:
Yeah I found out if you compile it with JDK7 it makes the apk's not installable for some reason. You don't have to uninstall the JDK7 just change your JAVA_HOME Environmental Variable to the JDK6 folder.

I updated the OP with the iPhone 3 theme.
[Android Themes] MontAlbert:
what did you do to fix it? I have the same config (win7 x64) but nothing outputs- i have now installed the correct jdk and changed the java home environmental variable etc but still nothing....

***Edit** needed to reopen the theme template after reinstalling x86 java.

next question- how to add extra intents so i can add more icons for more apps? eg. with adw themes you just add them into an xml file which intents and icons you want.

last question for now: having issues with the 9patch drawables- i have made them as per normal and i have made hundreds in my time and always compiled with eclipse so i know i have done them properly but for some reason the theme doesnt stretch them across the tab properly....the tab icon background press and highlight. both just do not stretch at all....is there a special way to deal with the 9patch drawables with this program?

Is there an eclipse template instead of using this?
[Android Themes] AzoozThemes:

thanks for that- really helpful-

now, how about how to add extra walls to it?

**edit** think i got that figured out.... coming along- got 292 icons to add in :D
[Android Themes] AzoozThemes:
for walls just edit the array.xml in res>values :D:D:D:D:D:D:D glad I helped :)

Quick question, is there anyway to get the Go Calendar widget to work without running go Launcher?
[Android Themes] AzoozThemes:
Are you using GO Themes Factory? I am using the cmd to package my themes, send your .9 images to me and my CMD will recognize the error and I can tell you what did you d o wrong from there (AzoozThemes@gmail.com)
[Android Themes] Gautch:
I created a theme called Slate

But it had problems. So I fixed them in the Go Launcher Theme Factory (TF) and re exported the apk. Now when I upload it to the Android Developer Console i get "The new apk's versionCode (5) already exists." See image below.

Any one know how to fix this?

I tried opening TF and importing the theme (which worked 100%) then export a new apk, but I get this warning:

So I don't recommend that.

I've tried decompiling the apk and editing the versionCode by hand. But i can't get a resigned version to be accepted.

Does any one have experience in updating there theme from TF into the market?
[Android Themes] el_liberator:
hi

my first theme

Download
[Android Themes] AzoozThemes:
go to your theme's folder and edit Android Manifist with your xml editor, there will be a line named Android:Version Code, just +1 to it (for eg if it was 5 make it 6)
[Android Themes] AzoozThemes:
Wow thats an awesome theme, better than my first theme, gonna try it out :D
[Android Themes] Gautch:
Ah!!! Thats it. Fixed. Thanks so much. Ill link and send a screen shot once the update pushes to the market.

Thanks again Azooz!
[Android Themes] MontAlbert:
how do you use the cmd to package your theme? I am used to using eclipse and a template from there..... or compiling from source...

***Edit** I used the theme factory and then apk edit to make my theme but for some reason it is not recognising the apps/icons i have added in myself (and it took me bloody ages).... none of the extras i have added in are recognised..... i have attached my apk and xml file- can you please take a look and see if there is something obvious i have forgotten? I even went and added each drawable into the drawable.xml file but it still wont recognise them..

First attempt

second attempt with edited drawable.xml

thanks for your help
[Android Themes] AzoozThemes:
I use the template GO Launcher provided, that comes with .bat files like makeall.bat sign.bat and stuff like that, so when I package in the cmd it will tell me about the errors like found error in pixel #2 or something

and me saying send me your theme, I meant the theme folder and files, (res, assets, android manifest and stuff) so that when I compile them my way the CMD will show whats exactly wrong with the thing

*******EDIT********************

I just tried your theme on my phone and it looks fine, the tabs look fine, If you are having trouble with .9 images try this :)

http://eseth.net/forum/showpost.php?p=71026&postcount=3

guide by me :)
[Android Themes] MontAlbert:
Yeah thanks. Got the 9patches working. I realized I had to compile them in eclipse first.

My issue now is the icons are not replaced even though I have filled out the appfilter. Xml file as the tutorial says. Any ideas on that?

Thanks
[Android Themes] AzoozThemes:
make sure the drawable name that you put in the appfilter, is the same as the name of the ong file in your res>drawable-hdpi folder :)
[Android Themes] MontAlbert:
crap- it would appeared that i have totally screwed everything up thru trying to fix this up to read all my icons- i have edited the appfilter.xml correctly (i know the names are correct as i copy and poasted the name of the icon into the xml file, as i did for the activity names... can you please have a look at my source and see if there is anything obvious i have forgotten? This theme is basically a port of Jaithemes' Glass Rings ADW theme- it would be much easier if Go Launcher used the icon pack like LPP does (so it can use ADW themes too)- he knows i am doing it- wont be put on the market but i am trying to do it so it is easy for him to port over himself to Go Launcher.

thanks heaps for your patience mate.
[Android Themes] Gautch:
@Azooz I've got a general Android Market question. I've published my theme. Its went live. There were issues. Now i've created a new version and was able to upload it to the Developer Center just fine. Its listed with the new version being active. But, when i go to the market on my desktop or phone, its still showing the old version. Even when i uninstall it and re install it all i get is the old version.

Do you know how long it takes google to push the update?
[Android Themes] AzoozThemes:
Yeah, takes google a long time, took for my iphone theme around one day or so, if that doesnt work then i dont know, perhaps you uploaded the wrong apk??
[Android Themes] AzoozThemes:
My XDA Theme (Under Progress)

-Few bugs I must fix, like the messaging icon

-I was able to Fix the Forceclose error whenever the theme is opened as an app

-Gotta fix the wallpaper quality (Q: what is better quality? PNG or JPG)
[Android Themes] jsmccabe78:
thank you for this thread.

i have found decompiling/ compiling an already existing theme an easy way to make mine for anyone who may care. just make sure to delete the public.xml and edit all the other approriate xmls to fit your theme.

my question - does this support the skinning of go widgets and other icons - like add/wallpaper (not sure what key they are from, i use a windows mobile phone running android so it is the "start key" for me)? i think not, but was curious what others are doing.

i can change them via my cm7, however was hoping to have a stand alone, all included go launcher ex theme.

thanks again.

I found a way to get GO Themes Factory Running on my windows7....The @ECHO thing didnt work for me

So here is what I did

1. Open the CMD as administrator (right click)

2.type in cd location:\of\gothemesfactory\file

3.press ENTER

4.type in themesfactory_beta2.jnlp

5.press ENTER

5.now the confirm button works and so does the EXPORT

_____________________________________________________

If you are getting the chinese characters error, Make sure there are no files in your res folder that contain spaces in there names

I personally dont use GTF because its buggy....One of the bugs I found that earned me so many 1 star ratings on the market, is that after the theme is download and installed, when pressing OPEN you will get a Forceclose error, now this is not a problem as long as you write down the steps on how to apply the theme from go launcher in your description. Second of all, I wouldnt call it a bug, but in the GTF folder preview, the folder label that is in black is wrong, after GO Launcher EX was updated the default color for the folder label became white, and the problem is, GTF theme makers tend to think that the text is black so they back the background bar white, but when the theme is apllied, you can barely see the folder's label in the folder drop down menu wich gets annoying....

these are just tips I wanted to point out, I use the Go Launcher EX template because It makes me feel geeky :P
[Android Themes] Esoth:
Great stuff in this thread!

Just a quick question: If I wanted to publish a theme made in GTF, what are the necessary steps to take (after opening a dev account)?

Thanks in advance!

need to make a keystore (e.g. your unique pass-protector)

sign with keystore

zipalign

at leas that is what i do.
[Android Themes] AzoozThemes:
not sure about the keystore thing... just make sure your andeoid manifest is changed correcrtly and you should zipalign your apk

I just started college so if everyone will just post their stuff when I get some time I'll put it in the op.

EDIT: Updated OP! It would be a lot easier to just post all your images on imgur regardless of if they are on the market or not it's a lot easier for me to edit the OP if everything is in the same format because all I have to do for thumbnail is add an s to the image urls. Anyways thanks for all these awesome themes you guys are making I'll finish mine eventually lol.
[Android Themes] ksjuggalo:
First, i would like to say thank you to Link_of_Hyrule, and the rest of you. If not for this thread id still be trying to make sense of go devs translated "instructions".

[highlight] EDIT: Here is the "semi-finished" Dr Who theme ive been working on. I am still replacing icons, and fine tuning, but I was so proud of the progress i made and the way it is turning out that i wanted to share. (broke my arm patting my back)

Expect an updated and complete version within the next few days. Any suggestions, please please feel free to let me know.[/highlight] I almost forgot, none of this artwork is mine. Everything was acquired via google searches. All i did was put it together and change some colors. If any of this work is yours, please let me know so i can give credit where it is due. I of course did not note where i got these from. DOH

[highlight]UPDATED[/highlight]

The menu now has a custom color instead of the boring white (not sure if its the right color though)

folder name background is now black

Still have work to do on icons, but it is mostly finished. (i think)

Please let me know if you would like to see any other changes, or have any suggestions.
[Android Themes] vapor_s04:
I have got a question.

When i change the icon of an application, and i do a restart, than i have got the "old" icons! Do u have got this problem,too? Thanks for your information.
[Android Themes] ksjuggalo:
I have not tried changing any icons in my app drawer on the device. The only icons i ever tried changing on the device itself were the ones on the bottom dock.

I have NOT had those change back on a reboot.

But i assume you mean in the app drawer, so i am not much help.

I am in the middle of downloading the android SDK, ADT for Eclipse, etc etc.

But when that is finished i will give it a try and report back.

Be patient though, as i said above im doing all this over a 3g connection. And not a very speedy one either.

AND the download keeps crapping out halfway through. UGH

But i will test that and report back as soon as i can.

[highlight]EDIT: I can not find a way to change the icons in the app drawer (am i "slow")...so i have to say no i have not had this problem. Before i found this thread and the theme factory, i was going through and replacing the dock icons one at a time. They always came back as i left them following a reboot. I still have no advice, or help to offer. Sorry[/highlight]
[Android Themes] Link_of_Hyrule:
What do you mean replace the Icons in the app drawer? 3G sucks man I feel your pain I was on it before I came out to college this week lol. I think if you have problems try deleteing the resdata file in the project folder and the .bat file in your C:\ that the ThemeFactory generates that should cause it to remake them.
[Android Themes] TheShayWay:
Hi Guys,

I'm having a bit of a problem and would love some help!

I am not sure how to change the font colour on once you open the folder.

The background is white, but the font colour is white too. Any ideas how I can change it to black? I have had a look through the xml files and also using ThemeFactory but can't find anything!

Any help would be appreciated!!!

I have suggestion concerning the folder drop down window, cuz you change the folder label background? as u can see its hard to see the folder's name since the text is white and the background is also white, try making it a black fill and a white outline
[Android Themes] ksjuggalo:
Ya that's another thing I want to change. Been looking around trying to find it, but I have also slacked off the last few days.

It doesn't really bother me cuz I know what folder I opened. But it is a minor detail that will be fixed.

I tend to be a perfectionist and things like that will bug me eventually.
[Android Themes] redtrk:
I have the same problem, no APK file just resdata in theme folder. Did you get past this?

Can someone please point me in the right direction....any help would be much appreciated.
[Android Themes] ksjuggalo:
I used the Jdk26 update 27 and I have no problems. Make sure you have set your environment variables as instructed by op

[highlight] EDIT: I had installed jdk7 for use with the Android sdk, but that caused the theme factory to not see my jdk6. So I ended up uninstalling both, and Reinstalling 6. Works again[highlight]
[Android Themes] AzoozThemes:
Hi guys, a friend of mine wants to theme for GO launcher, but he owns a Mac, is go themes factory compatible with Mac?
[Android Themes] ksjuggalo:
I hate to assume anything, and since i have no experience with a mac and am still new to this theme factory, that's all I'm doing.

But i would think if he can get the Java Development Kit 6 working on mac then yes he should be able to use it. Part of the big draw for Java is that it is platform independent. That being said, without a proper "how-to" he would be flying blind.
