Just for completeness: unlocking a Wildfire with htcdev doesn't give you s-off but a bootloader you can't downgrade anymore - that seems to be confirmed as of now.

So, are you s-off or not? I'm not sure if you got the whole procedure right.

Hi All,

does somebody have same problem. (i came from iPad 1) have now the TF700T.

The keyboard on tablet itself is very very slow... normal i write lot of stuff, but with this touch keyboard i get crazy....

The dock i do not use it all the time but that is also not 100% friendly... lag when typing and sometimes he not register my touch at all..

Cheers

I agree completely, but to point out the obvious, the tablet version! I love SwiftKey 3 and paid for the app on my Rezound too. I wouldn't be surprised if Google might attempt to acquire SwiftKey at some point. Although the default ICS keyboard isn't too bad.

[APP][4.2+][WIDGET][UCCW] Skins

Thread to share UCCW Skins - apk and uzip.

With the new version of UCCW it is easier than ever to create and share skins.

Apks of skins can be created from within app itself.

You don't need to know coding to make apks of UCCW skins. And its free.

Multiple skins can be combined in one apk.

The resulting apk can be uploaded to Google play to share with the world.

Advantages of Apk skins:

1) Easier to install, uninstall.

2) Easier management of skins. Multiple skins in one apk.

3) Apk skins have limited customization. So the users can customize the skin to their liking without deviating from the basic structure and look of the original skin.

4) No dependence on SD card.

5) Users are familiar with apks.

6) Ability to upload in google play. People can rate themes. Creators can easily provide updates. Creators can also earn money for their work. Skins are easily available just by searching for UCCW skins in Google play.

Here is how its done.

Remember to increment 'Version Code' and 'Version Name' as marked in pic below

[Android Apps and Games] dcsms:
Yup
[Android Apps and Games] bagarwa:
That and device froze

Same here.

Moreover, clicking 'open' after installing the theme apk freezes the phone. I know it must be like any go launcher theme where you just press done after installation and access the theme via theme manager - not by directly clicking 'open'. I clicked 'open' here to see what happens. Ideally it should've opened uccw window or a pop-up saying 'theme installed' or open skins list. But it froze the device and I had to do a battery pull.

After rebooting, the skin was not present in the installed skins list either. :confused:

Got it. Thanks. Skin works.

But the screen freeze on direct 'open' is still an issue.

Anyone ran in to this issue yet?

I built another apk skin this evening. Exported from uccw, created folder for it in eclipse, went through all the steps and exported it.

This is the file that was exported. https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0RLxE7RIwTSN3BCb2kwajdxWjg

And after installing on my Galaxy Nexus I went to add widget to home screen and checked to see if the new skin was in the list. The result was picture 1. I backed out of creating a new widget and tried again a minute later and the skin list was different, picture 2

You can see in both pictures I have my BIG_BOSS_UCW.uccw skin that I created in uccw right underneath on both pictures the apk that I installed but each time with a different icon.

And if I select it I get the picture labeled "Widget"

having issues....installed everything as the instructions...got almost the whole app done, except one problem: strings.xml and main.xml (in layout folder) are blank and empty. I downloaded and copied the uccw_notepad exactly, but cant export due to those xmls not having anything. So I added the string app_name with the value in strings.xml, that seems to solve that error. but I have no idea what to put in main.xml. Whats going on here? what do I need to put there? DOes someone have an example main.xml from their skin they can share please?

Layout folder should be empty because UCCW Skin Apps don't have a layout enabled.

Icon Template

Maybe we should create some concept icon templates and choose one for everyone to use?

Here's one I made. Please come up with better ideas than this so we can have a good standard icon template (in psd format so everyone can edit).

[Android Apps and Games] dmoses1969:
Question,

I was looking at one of the uccw files from an exported apk zip and noticed that the uccw files are referencing \sdcard0\. I know that a lot of my uccw.zips would not import for others because of that. So, is that more than likely the reason that my skins in the market are having issues also?

And, is there a way to use \sdcard0 and \sdcard in the same uccw file so it will install for anyone that has \sdcard or \sdcard0?

I know I can edit all the \sdcard0's but if I do, will that cause issues with those that have a Galaxy Nexus like myself or any other device that uses \sdcard0?

Hope that all made sense.

So, I guess my question is, is there a way to edit the uccw file so that it can use both locations?

Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] bagarwa:
But uccw skins don't use appfilter.xml. That is used mainly by launcher themeing apps. The file contains lines like -

<App-Package-name> <App-Activity-Name> <Icon-Name>

i.e. it filters which icon to apply to which activity of which app. UCCW doesn't have anything like that. So, I don't think appfilter.xml will be applicable to uccw.

If we can keep the .uccw files and the related folder somewhere outside of assets, that would solve the issue, I guess. Of course that'll need Vineet to make some code changes in the uccw app itself.

Feature requests

Ok, time for feature requests.

1. Any way to give the users option to edit the skin. Something like a separate unlocker app maybe, which will let only the linked skin app to be editable. i.e. one unlocker app for one skin. or maybe one unlocker app for all skins from one dev.

2. How about some text curving options? i.e. static text element or time / date - instead of being a straight line of text, if we can arch it.

3. I'd really love to be to able to edit the text displayed by "Location" element when "auto location" is enabled. City, State, Country - everything gets displayed, which hardly ever fits any skin.

Fixes -

1. maybe it's just me but I never got hang of the 'alignment'. I touch 'center', the whole text moves left. I touch 'right', it moves even more left, I touch 'left', it actually moves right.

My idea of alignment is, if I touch 'center', the element should be at the center of visible widget area. Doesn't happen. Am I not getting how to do it or this need to be fixed?

2. Any way to make hotspot areas scalable? Say I design a skin for 3x2 screen, with 3-4 hotspot. Now if I resize the widget on homescreen to 2x2, the one big hotspot covers the entire widget. Others get out of place. This is probably because hotspot dimensions get coded in px, rather than percentage.

3. Hotspots > UCCW Apps - there's a little bug there. Tap "Uccw apps" and then tap say "Stock alarm". But "Update weather" is selected. Tap "Uccw apps" again and tap "Update weather" now. This time "Stock alarm" will be shown as selected. This goes on. In short, first time, it'll select "Update weather" only. And next time on, it'll select what you had selected last time.
[Android Apps and Games] Slymobi:
All would be good. Although i have not experienced #3 in fixes issue.

most of these have already been mentioned over time to vineet so im sure he will already be working on some of them.

regarding the code theory, IT DID NOT WORK :(

"My phone is possessed"
[Android Apps and Games] niteowl360:
@bagarwa

Fixes 1.

Alignment refers to the actual object.

So if you eg have the day of the month selected and you choose Alignment Centre that simply Centre aligns the text. You then reposition to where you want it.

It does not align to any other object.

Other possible enhancements:-

What would be great is to be able to multi select objects and then use a Distribute command.

Also distorting text would be awesome, maybe difficult to implement.

Grouping objects would be very welcome, and thereby being able to set common attributes to the group.

And the main one, the addition of the Second Hand.

It's almost impossible to imagine this App improving, yet it does all the time.

Thanks Vineet (again).
[Android Apps and Games] Slymobi:
i agree with the grouping and distorting,i love embossing my texts etc and this feature was why chronotopia (lol remember this) was so awsome for me.

im personally not missing a seconds feature but if it did get implemented then im sure it would get used, however i think the impact would have a high memory consumption and has already been mentioned.

"My phone is possessed"
[Android Apps and Games] bagarwa:
I'm still confused. I have a 'day of the month' element selected. Then I tap alignment > center. That element should be horizontally centered, right? Just like <center>Element</center> of html.
[Android Apps and Games] niteowl360:
Yes. But it is not centered to any other object which I think you may have presumed.
