i still need to check out tsf, not sure how that launcher works yet, aw and also next launcherm id somone can enlighten me on those 2 id be gratefull
[Android Themes] the1dynasty:
oh... that would be great!! I dropped GoLauncher support because of this reason... would be cool to add it back since it is a popular launcher still... would be perfect to find out how and add it to my template too!!
[Android Themes] Arcanium:
what launchers do your template support, i downloaded it but im in the process of releasing a new theme so its gonna have to wait a few days, i just really like the layout of your main activity ( THE RATE BUTTON) :)

does it support tsf or next 3d?
[Android Themes] the1dynasty:
none of those... yet... haven't had much time to even try any of those launchers... eventually it will be compatible with as many launchers as it can... that's why i open sourced it on GitHub!
[Android Themes] Arcanium:
anyone got links to

TSF Shell

Next Launcher 3D

if someone can find it ill add it to my template both then import into this thread template, and all launchers should be covered here is my release from last night

What should I do when Eclipse returns error like this (just after importing the templates: I tried DCikonZ template and the Apex Icon template in the guide).
[Android Themes] nqk:
After struggling hard (uninstalling, reinstalling, bla bla), I could get eclipse working and build my first iconpack.apk. Thank you guys for the explanation above. I could now get all apps in the drawer and home screen themed. :D. That's the first step.

Anyway, I would also want to change the "app drawer" icon too. I am using Nova only.

FYI: using eclipse, I modified only appfilter.xml, string.xml and iconpack.xml. Others remain the same.
[Android Themes] brainscollector:
Hello guys, do you know how to add next launcher compatibility ? also spb shell would be nice too but I receive a lot of emails with requests regard next launcher.

Why won't the wallpaper picker work?

is it just me?

I used the apex sample, but the wallpaper picker won't show up?

Any clues? thanks.
[Android Themes] SpecialBrewDaddy:
Hi, please try this. Go to Window > Android SDK Manager > look for API15 then tick it > click Install Packages.

I think it is not yet installed on your android adt.
[Android Themes] the1dynasty:
make sure your manifest has this in it...

<!-- Permission required for setting the wallpaper -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SET_WALLPAPER" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SET_WALLPAPER_HINTS" />

and

the blue bolded line, when enabled, lets the icon pack show up in the options for picking wallpapers... read my note below as well...

<activity
android:name=".Wallpaper"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:icon="@drawable/icon_wall"
android:finishOnCloseSystemDialogs="true">
<intent-filter>
<!--
** The commented out line below determines if the Icon Pack shows up as an
** icon in the launchers wallpaper picker. Remove the commented parts at the beginning
** and end to enable it. Note: If you're using Apex, you will still see the list
** of wallpapers by selecting Apex Wallpapers
-->
[B][COLOR="Blue"]<!-- <action android:name="android.intent.action.SET_WALLPAPER" /> -->[/COLOR][/B]
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>

note: this is from my Icon Pack Template... some parts might look slightly different... but this is the general code for the wallpaper related stuff...
[Android Themes] eggblade:
Thanks for your reply,

I insert this code to my manifest :

<!-- <action android:name="android.intent.action.SET_WALLPAPER" /> -->
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />

The wallpaper picker shows up, but there's no wallpaper in it,

why?

Thank you.

Download quickshortcutmaker from the market and get the activity names that way. It gives you the activity name for every app installed on your phone that you need for the appfilter.xml.

This one is my manifest, I already made it appear on wallpaper picker, but when I click on it, there's no wallpaper in it??

Not sure about what template you're talking about? Any clues? I used the same ApexIconPack, then added wallpapers.xml in it.

Thanks.
[Android Themes] the1dynasty:
yeah i'm using the template i made lol http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=41724537

you can try making it its own intent... like this...

[Android Themes] eggblade:
just now, I accidentally tried your sample template from Youtube :D

what I'm asking is :

When you hold your homescreens, there's wallpaper picker on it, and when you tapped on it, it should give you the list of wallpapers,

in my case, that list of wallpapers doesn't show up.

Then, I do a little bit of searching and found this thread.

I decompiled that .apk from there then re-open it in Eclipse.

it seems that I've found something interesting in its res folder : layout and values

then I compared it with mine,

MY THEME :

layout contains nothing

values contains iconpack.xml , strings.xml , and wallpapers.xml

THAT WALLPAPER APK :

layout contains main.xml , wallpaper_chooser.xml , wallpaper_item.xml

values contains arrays.xml , ids.xml , public.xml , strings.xml

whereas his arrays.xml similar to my wallpapers.xml

I just can't figure this out.

Thank you for helping me.

Older topic, so hopefully I still get a reply. I have everything working in Go Launcher, but the iconbacks are all being placed ON TOP of the unthemed icons. Where did I go wrong? Thanks!
[Android Themes] the1dynasty:
You did everything perfect... GoLauncher is just backwards from every other launcher... That's why a lot of devs drop support for it!
[Android Themes] kcls:
So there's no way to stop the iconbacks from going on top of unthemed icons? I know there has to be because Minimal UI does it!
[Android Themes] the1dynasty:
if its ONLY for GoLauncher then you can just make it work just fine... just invert the iconmask...
[Android Themes] kcls:
No it's got apex/nova/go.
[Android Themes] destinromie93:
Just Urghhh....

I am totally confused I followed the apex tutorial to make an icon pack and I put the extra code in the android manifest to use the icon pack with the other launchers I have working sort of it installs on my phone but when I apply nothing happens....:confused:
[Android Themes] tung91:
how about atom launcher, it can show in skin list, but applied and no luck

any help :confused:

I'm having a problem with Go Launcher... My themes install and work perfectly when installed from my SD card... but when installed from the Play store, they don't install in Go... (PAID Only) - My free theme works perfectly in Go from the Play store.

Is there something special that has to be done with Go for Paid themes? Any suggestions?

Thanx so much!
[Android Themes] DeNitE:
Anyone know how to make my wallpaper included in the Nova wallpaper picker?
[Android Themes] sTl2yk3l2:
You need to add an arrays.xml file to the values folder of your project with the wallpapers defined in it. Here is an example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<resources>

<string-array name="wallpaperlist">

<item>wallpaper_01</item>

<item>wallpaper_02</item>

<item>wallpaper_03</item>

<item>wallpaper_04</item>

<item>wallpaper_05</item>

</string-array>

</resources>

Then put the images in the drawable-nopdi folder or drawable-xhdpi or whatever size you are targeting. I usually just put my walls in the nopdi folder.

For the docks to show up in nova just add this to the arrays.xml and put the images in one of the drawable folders. So if you have docks and walls just add them both to the arrays.xml. You can name the docks and walls anything you want also. Just make sure the images name matches what you put in the arrays.xml. Hope this helps.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<resources>

<string-array name="dock_backgroundlist">

<item>dock_background_port</item>

<item>dock1</item>

<item>dock2</item>

</string-array>

</resources>

Problems with Launchers

Why don't launcher developers use same structure!!!!!!!!!! I'm frustrated!

I want to support Nova, Apex & Holo only.
[Android Themes] pooley:):
does it mean I have to rename all my icons like that "com_android_blabla" for the iconset to work with adw ?

Or just duplicate my icon_pack.xml and rename it to icon_aliases.xml ?

---------- Post added at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------

totally agree !!! We must create a topic to ask devs of every launcher to have the same base structure compatibility !!
[Android Themes] :
I've uninstalled ADW :P

Copy drawable.xml and replace:

<drawable name="activitynamewith_keepitsame">@drawable/drawablefilename</drawable>

Name it icon_aliases.xml.. if it doesn't work means you need to change icon names with activity..

If devs can't make same structure at least add compatibility like Apex & Nova did.
[Android Themes] pooley:):
will try this as soon as I finish my gears of war 3 live session lol ;)
[Android Themes] pooley:):
where should I put your code ? in the icon_aliases.xml (duplicate of drawable.xml) ?

Sent from my toilets
[Android Themes] :
Yes
[Android Themes] pooley:):
Ok so I just copy/paste before the ressources marker ?

Sent from my toilets
[Android Themes] :
Ya just replace previous drawable markups with this one
[Android Themes] pooley:):
you rock D :) thanks for the quick answer ! trying right now :)

---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 AM ----------

wait ... there's no drawable marker in the drawable.xml (the auto-closing markups is "item").

<item drawable="browser" />

should it be something like this :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<version>1</version>
[B]<drawable name="activitynamewith_keepitsame">@drawable/drawablefilename</drawable>[/B]
<item drawable="camera" />
<item drawable="browser" />
[...]

or like this :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
[B]<drawable name="activitynamewith_keepitsame">@drawable/drawablefilename</drawable>[/B]
<resources>
<version>1</version>
<item drawable="camera" />
<item drawable="browser" />
[...]

---------- Post added at 12:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 PM ----------

Ok second possibility results in getting an xml error. The first is not creating any error so I will try this way. Assuming I have to place it where the appfilter.xml and drawable.xml are (in both assets/ and res/xml/ folders).
[Android Themes] :
Remove those <item drawable> and place it there

I don't think it's possible without renaming all the icons
[Android Themes] pooley:):
Yep I found an icon_aliases.xml. doesn't work... weird thing is icons are applying on adw. But icon picker prompt remains black..

Most launchers share same code for icon changing but not for icon picker.

yeah, but can't I update the android versioncode and version name in androidmanifest and then export the APK from eclipse?
[Android Themes] :
Does it create Eclipse Project for using with Eclipse? I don't think so.

For now you should discuss with Pooley about compatibility till the developer makes a new tool.

Hi all. I'm trying to create my first icon pack apk and having loads of trouble,please excuse my noobness (learner themer).

I'm using the apex sample from the linked apex tutorial in the op, followed all the steps exactly just putting a test icon in. Added the code to support other launchers specifically nova which I use. The apk builds with no errors,installs fine but doesn't show up in my options in nova with the other icon packs ?

Any ideas ?
