Hi Wingnut,

The way I do it,

It took me some time to understand the theme maker as well. When you start the file ThemeTool.bat you will get an interface with some buttons and entries. If you click the button open the file you will see all the pictures you can modify. I changed all these pictures to (non copyrighted) pictures and skinned them with a metal style and some colors. Another tricky part is .9.png, my advice here is to keep the originals here and don't touch the black lines on the edges. There are some great examples though (http://radleymarx.com/blog/simple-guide-to-9-patch/). The other button is for changing the font colors. For me that is the hard part, you can't see a preview, you have to choose the colors following the extremely cryptic description and the PDF guide. My experience is to just fill in very bright random colors and you will see which color goes where. Then choose colors that match your pictures/theme and you should have a nice result. Then you have 7 text fields. I never touch the chinese ones. The first one is your APK name. This hast to be unique and cannot change and has to be the same for all future updates as well. The second field is your version name. This is a version name of your choice. I always choose 1.0 for the initial release and than increase to 1.02, 1.03 etc for each next version. The third field is an integer. Every update of an exising theme will have to increase this field by 1 (in my case when I make my first update, this interger is 2 and my version number is 1.02). The last 2 fields are a description of your theme. The first shows up in the market (and other places as well I assume) and the second in the Theme Preview option in Go SMS. Try to keep these short, especially the last since there is not much room in the theme preview area.

Good luck

I went to the bottom and opened up ThemeTool ... It came up.. I dont know what to do after this. Theres a folder full of the images but I ddont know what to do with that either :/
[Android Themes] coolreggieparker:

[Android Themes] ecwpa:
Hey!

I was wondering, why do you decided to force theme creators to use this com.jb.gosms.pctheme prefix?

I do like the theme creator tool so far, it's great for designers who don't really are into Eclipse but I would like to have consistency on my theme package names, I'm not OK with this at all.
[Android Themes] Ryan3041981:
Instructions how to keep old Package name

I have received instructions on how to keep the old package name.

I assume the prefix was added because they have plans to streamline package names devided in to themes created by PC and WEB/Phone. I therefore urge you to create any new themes as the tools dictates and only use these instructions for older versions that you want to update like me:

Try and edit any files with Wordpad (or better) and not Notepad. Notepad might mess things up.

1) Go in to the directory where the theme maker is installed (for this example D:\Android\GOSmsThemeTemplate). If present, delete the folder named "com" and delete anything inside the "bin" folder. I don't know if it is needed but for me it feels better since they will be created/filled again after generating a new theme.

2) Open the file named AndroidManifest.xml. Here you should see attributes called versionCode, versionName and package. Rename them to the package name you have used for previous versions of your theme and the proper version code and name E.G.:

android:versionCode="5"
android:versionName="1.05"
package="com.jb.gosms.theme.test"

3) Locate the file named Do_path.bat. Right click on it and choose edit (or open it with your preferred editor) and change the PROJECT_PATH value to where the themetool is installed and the PACKAGE_PATH value to the location dictated by your package name (e.g. com.jb.gosms.theme.test) but in stead of a "." use the "\". It should look like this:

set PROJECT_PATH=D:\Android\GOSmsThemeTemplate
set PACKAGE_PATH=com\jb\gosms\theme\test

4) Go to the folder named src and open the file GoSmsInstallDialog.java (If I recall correct you can just use wordpad). Also change the package name here to the one you need:

package com.jb.gosms.theme.test;

5) Go to the folder named res and then to the folder called values and open strings.xml. Here change the value between the >< :

<string name="app_name">GO SMS Test Theme</string>
<string name="app_name_desc">Test Theme</string>

Now the next step is to change the colors. You can do this with the tool, just don't click generate apk.

Finally close the tool after you have changed the colors with the excel template and locate makeall.bat. Double click it and your APK should be ready as usual.

Thanks A lot to the creators of GoSMS for this information.
[Android Themes] ecwpa:
Thanks, that's really informative.

But, I think a lot of people won't do that. People releasing themes on the market probably know what they're doing, they paid a fee for using the market and the package name is kind of important. If they want to identify something maybe they should do this to web themes since those users don't care that much.

I think there're other ways to identify a theme other than taking control of a dev package name. I still can use ver.1.21 I guess and probably will, until we find a better solution.
[Android Themes] Ryan3041981:
Hey,

Yes I agree with you. It is a guess of mine why they changed it. Maybe they will change back in the next version after discovering our problem.

I used the older version to update as well, it works. The newer version does have some extra options when changing colors and perhaps something that isn't visible straight away. I don't know.

Anyways lets hope the next version gives one a choice.

[Android Themes] dgwood12:
So what is everyone else using to make all of the themes I see on the play store? Are they using the download on this thread or the web interface? I tried the download from this thread and it was very hard to figure out and I didn't know what to do...

[Android Themes] thesparky007:
I created a theme using the latest theme maker download. I have also been able to publish the apk to the playstore and it shows up as compatible in the developer console for some 1500 devices including my evo 3d. But when I look at the app description in the play store it says its incompatible with my device. All other go sms pro themes show up and compatible except mine....

I am thinking it could be something with the manifest thats leading to that...

anyone know why it might do that?

Download link

The download link isnt working anymore. Can someone hook me up with this theme maker? Please.
[Android Themes] RocknSteve:
I zipped and uploaded the one I had to my Dropbox. The folder's name is says it's "Version 3" but I have no idea why that is since it's only v2.2 (the most recent version). So I'd just ignore the name.

I don't believe this one has all the "patches" included but I checked the GO DEV Team's website and the patch downloads seem to be working just fine so you should be able to get them from there.

If this doesn't work, just let me know and I'll try to figure something out for ya.

Dropbox Link
[Android Themes] AgnesGale:
Thank you! But the dropbox link doesnt work as well.

---------- Post added at 07:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 AM ----------

So I found a theme maker v2.2

I just dont know where the generated apk is. In my first attempt, after clicking on 'Open the file', it prompted me that there's no path C:\tools\Paid. So I made one and copied the images (about 110 pngs). I also copied images in the res/drawable-hdpi. Then I clicked on the Generate the APK file, it said 'Package Succesed!', but there's no new apk. I'm lost. Oh senior developers, help me.
[Android Themes] RocknSteve:
Yeah the theme maker tool isn't exactly the most user friendly by any means. Do any of the folder names in the file path contain spaces? For example: C:\Android Stuff\GOSmsProThemeMaker. If so, change it so there are no spaces for any of the folders.

I ran into that issue my first time and took forever to figure it out because the theme maker tool doesn't tell you anything useful (instead it just tells you it packaged successfully as you've found out).

Let me know whether or not that was your problem!

EDIT: If everything really did package correctly, you'll find the apk in the "GOSmsThemeTemplate" folder named "_signed.apk"

Again, I hope this helps.
[Android Themes] AgnesGale:
Thank you for the link :)

The path goes: C:\GOSmsProThemeMakerEnV3_0\GOSmsThemeTemplate

So I literally edited the images from res/drawable-hdpi. But when making the apk or using makeall.bat, the terminal throws me a bunch of errors.

I tried recoloring the images to see if it would work. Still no ball. Am I missing something important?

EDIT: Tried the online theme maker, but the site's a total crap. Lol
[Android Themes] RocknSteve:
No problem!

First things first, the only thing you need to run is the "ThemeTool_v2.2.jar" file. In the "tools" folder, you can find some useful things as well (most importantly "zipalign").

The errors it's spitting out makes me believe you don't have your 9-patch images set up correctly. A 9-patch image requires black or white pixels at least on the left and top side that tells the application where it can "stretch" the image. You can read up more on them here.

So I'd try correcting the 9-patch images and then trying to "Generate APK File" and watch for any errors.

Also, the images don't have to be a 9-patch image (although it's usually a good idea for them to be with the exception of icons). So if you have an image that isn't designed to be a 9-patch image, just delete the ".9" from the file's name. For example, if the original image was titled, "testbutton.9.png" but you don't want it to be a 9-patch image, simply turn it into, "testbutton.png"

Hope this helps!
[Android Themes] AgnesGale:
Yeah, I used the 9-patch tool to make some of my images. But in my last attempt, I recolored like the cloud of the inbox bg, still threw me those errors. Do I have to follow which parts of the image has the black borders?
[Android Themes] RocknSteve:
That's odd... I'd suggest using Photoshop or GIMP to create your 9-patch images as I'm unfamiliar with the tool.

As for the black borders, you get to define your own. Where you place the black pixels along the top defines where the app will "stretch" in the image on the x-axis. Same for the border on the left except that controls the stretching on the y-axis.

The right pixels define where content can be placed inside the image and same for the bottom pixels.

I apologize if this isn't what you were asking, it's just hard to tell exactly what's going on without being there (especially with the theme maker tool being so unhelpful).

No worries, I'm really grateful for all the help :) I hope I get this theming stuff to work though. I tried to decompile pre-made themes, and replaced the images with mine.

Text Color Issues...

I'm having a problem with my GoSMS themes... I have spent hours trying to resolve this with no results...

I've created the theme and it works perfectly when I install the apk myself on my phone...

But as soon as I upload to the Play store and install from there, none of the text colors take affect. It's the oddest thing! It only does this when installed from the Play store.
