Anyone veen having problems exporting lately? Everytime i try to export themefactory freezes up and i have to shut the program down.
[Android Themes] pandik:
Hey. Themefactory is crappy. But when it try to export create temp file in c:\themesfactorytemp. Copy this file to your theme root directory then you can run it see errors and correct them ;)
[Android Themes] pantrif13:
The only errors i have seen from theme factory are related with bad patches of 9s pngs. Here you can learn how to patch them correctly! Also google search is always your friend. ;)
[Android Themes] Jekmyster:
Hey guys i got an odd question here. Ive been looking at a few themes on the android market and i found some that were including the themes for the go widgets. I personally use the widgets also but the problem is it usually doesn't match the theme i have. But the ones that say they include the themes for the widgets, well the'y're there alright.

I just want to ask if anyone knows how to do this? How can you include the themes for the go widgets in the same apk as the themes for the go launcher? A lot of the themes will suggest you also "download" the accompanied theme so that it has an overall balance, but that means downloading a separate apk for wallpaper and widget themes. Its would just be easy to have it all in one apk.

Anyone have any ideas?
[Android Themes] jsmccabe78:
are there any that are free to dl? happy to take a look inside...
[Android Themes] mfndoom:
Thanks, but I don't think that was it. Don't really know what happened either..but I ended up just uninstalling and re-installing. Back to working like a champ.

Now for anyone that may be able to help. I've got my theme pretty much finished, but now I want to delve into getting the icons in the app drawer to match my theme. I thought I had it, xmls edited and icon pngs in correct folder. But when I install and go to app drawer it still shows normal icons. If anyone knows of something I may be missing from experience or would look at my theme (i can upload here or pm it) that'd be much appreciated.
[Android Themes] jsmccabe78:
i have lost this functionality and have not seen it editable since the latest launcher update (used to be easy to do). same with all go products (go sms, etc.) i have tried different xml edits but to no avail. if someone finds an answer that would be great.

[Android Themes] nickabbott:
First of all thanks very much for the guide! :)

But my main reason for posting here is does anyone know how to theme the new "news" button in the menu for Go Launcher?

I've got a feeling they haven't made it themeable yet but just wanted to check if I've missed something!

Thanks,

Nick
[Android Themes] Leo84Ge:
Very thanks for the tips Pandick! I try to draw and add other icon and upgrade theme... :)
[Android Themes] pandik:

[Android Themes] Jekmyster:
The one i saw was a paid app. $1 i think. i'll try to look for a free app. The integration of the launcher theme with the go sms, and go widget theme in one apk might be compiled by by another software aside from the themes factory. i was just wondering how they did it.
[Android Themes] algie17:
,it works now,hmm,i dont know how it was fix,^^
[Android Themes] Jekmyster:
well here is the theme i made. Its a paid app, but if you guys like it, have a heart and download ... :p

Its all custom made, all down to the desk menu and app drawer menu. but i'm guessing its not for everyone.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex.theme.Rust&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5nYXUuZ28ubGF1bmNoZXJleC50aGVtZS5SdXN0Il0.

I do have a question tho...

The one free theme i made, someone messaged me that the theme doesn't need the Network Communication Full Internet Access Permission and the view network state. and i'm guessing that its preventing some people to download the themes. I'm guessing its built in to the go themes factory...anyne know how to remove it?
[Android Themes] Mr KOP:
Hi, Are we allowed to modify Java code? I want to add a notification to present my new themes.

If possible, how to do it.

Thanks
[Android Themes] pandik:
Hi KOP. how you imagine this? ;) notification is generated by go launcher not by theme. Teoryetly you can insert an agent into theme and he should to connect to your server,get info about your eventually new release and display it in notyfication area. But this notification will be work only on phone with your active theme.
[Android Themes] Mr KOP:
Thanks for reply. You misunderstood what I meant. I want design my theme same this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...hertheme.valentinesday2012golauncherthemefree

This theme show a announcement on notification bar after install
[Android Themes] Flint420:
So glad I found this. Can't believe it was so simple. I had one theme that wouldn't load and I couldn't figure it out. I was searching through every xml and java file looking for a fix and it was only the copy protection. Felt like a noob when I found out.
[Android Themes] Flint420:
Has anyone noticed with the latest go launcher update that the tabs in the app drawer are displaying wrong? It happens to me with all themes. Does anyone know a fix for this or do we have to wait for go launcher to update?

Solved:

I Downloaded GO Launcher v2.85 Beta from the website and the issue has been corrected.

Also the new update introduces a new menu button for news. Anyone have success theming this yet?

Solved:

I figured it out.

1. add your image to res/drawable-hdpi with the name menuitem_message.png

2. add the following line of code to assets/desk.xml

insert this line at the end of the list. It is fairly obvious where to insert.

<Item Id="120" Text="">

<Wallpaper Image="menuitem_message"/>

This may only work on the new beta.
[Android Themes] prowler19762001:
ok i decided today i wanted to try to make some of my own themes, i went to go website and DL their theme maker i installed the JAVA jdk as per their readme. after the install i click on the theme factory jnlp java does a DL then it says "WE need jdk1.5 or 1.6 support, please read teh readm.txt to get relevant component instalation guide" i have done all teh readme told me even tried different versions of java what am i missing i am new to JDK so probably something stupid i am missing but i cant figure it out

P.S. if this has already been answered i apoligize but there is 52 pages int his thread alone 0_o
[Android Themes] Flint420:
Make sure your using java version 1.6. I suggest reading the thread. I'm sure you will find it useful.
[Android Themes] Android-Junky:
Hey Can you provide new link?This link does not seem to be working.

Also: Someone mentioned earlier that this software automatically signs the theme?So will i have just zip align the theme or sign it as well?

Thanks!
[Android Themes] Flint420:
You only need to zipalign the themes after exporting from theme factory.
[Android Themes] jsmccabe78:
Thanks! I was looking for this! Awesome!
[Android Themes] Link_of_Hyrule:
I'm sorry I am pretty busy and not able to participate in this thread much any more. Unfortunately once I switch over to Android Ice Cream Sandwich I will no longer be using Go Launcher Ex unless they decide to update their launcher to be up to par with Apex Launcher and other ICS Launchers. I want the in-app drawer widgets and other features ICS has to offer so hopefully they update GO Launcher to offer these features so I can continue to use it. Anyways I'll try to add as many themes to this post as I can if you PM them to me.

The guide hasn't been updated for a while unfortunately so it may or may not be relevant any more if you want the latest version of ThemesFactory you will have to search the GO Launcher New Blog for it. Anyways Thanks for all your support and everything you guys do you're awesome!

If anyone else wants to make a new thread with an updated guide and list of themes and tell the Mods to merge this one into it or what ever so it can be better maintained feel free to do so.

[Android Themes] pandik:
Hallo. Run theme factory from root directory eg c: coz it seems that factory got problem with path creation. Or when you exporting theme check directory c:themefactorytemp or something like. Inside you will find temp file (.bat) so you can open it and see shot is goin on (file will be deleted after export finishes). Or you can spend half day to learn how to use eclipse and decease number of your problems to zero and get full controlled in theme create/update process :)

ok so i did this and it give me same error

Export Err:'C:\Program" "Files" "' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

i looked in the log file and there is a line in there that could be the problem? seems to me it is pointing wrong or the syntax of it is not right?

set JAVAC_PATH=C:\Program" "Files" "(x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_26\bin notice ow the quotation marks match up with what is in the error, and the log says at the bottom that it is unable to find that file, seems to me the command line is wrong IE the quotation marks are in wrong spots? i am not a programmer or a code writer by any means but i know a little and this does not seem right

read pandik's note. he is illustrating in great detail what i was going to get.

__________________________________________

two questions for those who can help.

1. can anyone decompile golauncher 2.85? there are two xmls i need to put in my gowidget theme that are not yet available from golauncher's widget's themes (for gostore41 if you care). it is attached. i am running into issues doing this.

2. when you click on a folder i get the following. can anyone tell me how to get rid of the grey line (in the yellow box) - i assure you the background image is black. and also, how do you skin the + sign in the red box?

​

cheers.

thanks.
[Android Themes] pandik:
To rig of line see assets/app_function_theme line_enabled variable. Dunno nothing about decompiling. Apk but think it can be hard ;) but I'm not programist;)
[Android Themes] jsmccabe78:
thanks mate - worked great!

(and if you are serious about decompiling, see http://www.miui-au.com/add-ons/apktool/ for a great tut in addition to apkmanager. if you can figure out eclipse, which i haven't a clue, this should be easy for you! i find it much easier often to take apart themes backwards to see how they are built. also allows me to theme unofficial things - or before support. i had a go locker theme up months before they supported it. fun stuff. cheers.)
[Android Themes] skanndelus:
so i finished my 1998 go launcher ex theme the other night, but was wondering if anyone figured out how to change the font color for the app labels on the home screens?
[Android Themes] pandik:
All font collors seems to be in assets folder XML files
[Android Themes] pandik:
Btw super theme ;) It brings old God c64 memories :)
[Android Themes] skanndelus:
thx i will look in there, didn't see anything last time around but maybe i missed it!
[Android Themes] jsmccabe78:
in themes i have taken apart they have the following:

in assets create a folder "fonts" - obviously without the quotes

in folder "fonts" place your .ttf file.

i don't see reference to the ttf file elsewhere; it may just load. give it a shot.

cheers.
[Android Themes] prowler19762001:
ok i followed pandik's advice about the file paths and reinstalled everything tot he root directory now i am able to export and get my apk file thanks a bunch

now new thing i am starting out slow just kinda doing something then checking it on phone and right away ran into first problem. i resized my background picture to fit on the virtual phone on the left of the screen and got it fitting just how i wanted, and also added my background to app window and such, however when i install it on the phoe the main desktop photo, is both to tall and to wide, i tried resizing again, i tried changing photos throught the desktop pages for various resolutions, and that does nto seem to fix it, however the image i put in the app/recent, and running menus is the same image, same size from same file, and they show up fine... what am i doing wrong thanks

EDIT i uploaded the APK for anyone that would like to look at it and see what i mean, its easy to catch on the main background the words do not fit, and on menus it fits nicely
[Android Themes] jsmccabe78:
1- you can directly upload apks to xda. you do not have to place in a zip/rar file. may want to change that if you want more to help.

2. why does your theme need permission to edit sdcard and internet access? unless you are planning on adding ads to your theme, this is really not necessary and might keep people at bay if putting on market.

3- your issue. i decompiled your theme and simply changed the background to what my themes have - 960x800. what you are looking for? i don't understand the "app/recent" part above.

​

cheers.
[Android Themes] skanndelus:
i know how to add a custom font, i'm trying to change the font color from white to something else on the home screen. i'm not convinced there is a way to do this, though.
[Android Themes] prowler19762001:
ok i originally started out with it at 960x800 but the virtual screen in them factory showed it did not fit right so i resized it till it did apperantly that was not the thing to do. i will retry it with 960x800, and see what happens thanks for the help.

also how do i take the internet access, and sdcard off, i looked for that and could not find it? i will look again and see if ican figure it out, not planning on ads i hate ads.

and i will keep in mind about uploading apks. thanks

[Android Themes] Link_of_Hyrule:
Hey guys I am loving all your themes lately they are awesome! Anyways I just wanted to post this real quick a lot of you guys are switched to Android ICS and stopped using Go Launcher Ex (I will be as soon as I can unless they decide to impliment App Drawer Widgets and other ICS features).

So Apex Launcher is amazing if you haven't tried it but it doesn't allow themes yet! Please if you have time vote for these two one is to allow us to use all the amazing Go Launcher Ex Themes on Apex (as well as themes from the other major launchers)! The other is to allow Icon Resizing!

Support for Themes from Go Launcher Ex, ADW, and Launcher Pro.

Change Icon Size (Bigger or Smaller)
[Android Themes] aeroman:
wait Go Launcher comes back. :D I know example Go Dev wants to implement the Widgets (for Recents) in App Drawer. ;)

the last changes in V2.86 beta was good, :cool: but not enough, rest comes in the next weeks. :)

I use my ICS Themes with Go Launcher and switch always between Apex and Go Launcher, i think that is a good idea

and a small revolution, when the themes runs on Apex launcher. :eek:

Greetings
[Android Themes] pandik:
hallo.

Coz You Themefactory? Heh but serious, dont use uppercase, spaces and dots.

Try to take little invention and just edit drawable.xml file and appfilter.xml

first one tells go launcher that your icon exist and can be selected by user second one connect icon with app.

1. open those files

2. look whut is inside

3. find your app at: http://activities.droidicon.com/

4. for go launcher take last one activity with "/" for example: slide.cameraZoom/slide.cameraZoom.CameraZoomActivity

5. insert it proper in those files

6. be glad of all work ok ;)

How to zipalign

Hi guys. I have created my theme and I want to upload it one the market. I have done all the procedures, but I am not able to zipalign the .apk using the procedure from the 1st post. Can someone explain me it?

P.S. Before I have moved the zipalign application to the folder where I have the theme. Then i tried to open the elevated command prompt in the folder, but it said that isn't able to start the application :(

Thank you very much.
[Android Themes] gkaipale:
Do it manually.

Find zipalign.exe and put it in a folder with the apk file.

Then in command prompt type:

Zipalign -v 4 source.apk target.apk

Where source is the name of your apk and target will be the zipaligned file.
[Android Themes] Arci17:
Tried it but in the command prompt it says: 'Zipalign' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable command or batch file.

I've done this things: put the .apk and zipalign.exe to one folder --> start-->command prompt-->Zipalign -v 4 Ice_Cream_Sandwich_Go_Launcher_EX_Theme.apk Ice_Cream_Sandwich_Go_Launcher_EX_Theme1.apk

Really don't know what do :confused:

P.S. Is really needed to zipalign it? Because I've installed the theme on my phone and it works perfectly
[Android Themes] jsmccabe78:
Zipalign is necessary only if you want to put on market.

What path for the cmd prompt are you using? Try this - in the folder with the apk, etc., hold shift and right click. Select open command prompt. Then put the above cmd. My guess is you're not putting the right path in the cmd prompt...
