How do I update? If I check for updates in Eclipse, it tells me that there is no updates availible.

Thanks! This worked perfectly! I will just say something about this:

In the project that it's available for download right now there is a 'scale' value set to 0.75 that makes icons way too small in holo launcher. I removed it and the icons were then sized as they are by default in holo launcher. All those lines should've been commented by default since mostly we add specific icons in an icon pack, we don't replace ALL the app icons, something that the default icon pack created from this guide will attempt if we (unknowingly) leave those lines in the file. Filling your launcher drawer of apps with the same generic icon.

Also, the page you suggested didn't load but I could use this app and search engine instead, referenced here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2404405

Anyways, thanks for such a detailed guide!
[Android Themes] iamareebjamal:
Many icon packs do use icon mask and icon back but I got your point, I'll make the changes. But it shouldn't be a problem for those who read the guide carefully.

That one should be good but since it's for an android project essentially Eclipse IDE for Java Developers should be better.

Thanks For help

one query

can I use ANDROID STUDIO?
[Android Themes] Eleve11:
I think I should test to ask here.

In my Icon pack (Bleach Icons) I have this but where my Icon pack isn't working for GoLaucnher. All my other icon packs are working fine with Go but not this one. Have tried to check the code but I can't see anything that would point to wrong code.

Below is the code for when applying the icons from the app:

Button go= (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.go);
go.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
try {
Intent go = getActivity().getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.gau.go.launcherex");
if (go != null) {
Intent golauncher = new Intent(ACTION_MYTHEME);
golauncher.putExtra("type", 1);
golauncher.putExtra("pkgname", getActivity().getPackageName());
getActivity().sendBroadcast(golauncher);
Toast appliedGo = Toast
.makeText(getActivity().getBaseContext(), getResources().getString
(R.string.go_applied), Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
appliedGo.show();
} else {
// Direct users to get Go Launcher
String playStoreUrl = "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex";
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(playStoreUrl)));
}
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e7) {
e7.printStackTrace();

}
//finish();
}
});

It's the same lines of code that I have in my other icon packs. This got me thinking that the problem could be in the manifest file. Here's the intent code below my MainActivity.

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<action android:name="com.gau.go.launcherex.theme" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.INFO" />
</intent-filter>

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="com.anddoes.launcher.THEME" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter >
<action android:name="ginlemon.smartlauncher.THEMES" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>

Can someone shed some light on this, would be much appreciated.

You have themecfg and other related files in assets folder?
[Android Themes] Eleve11:
Nope I didn't but I have now, and it's finally working. But the strange thing is that I don't have the files in my other icon packs but it still works.

Anyhow, it works but now are the icons in different sizes :p
[Android Themes] iamareebjamal:

Hi,

I made icon pack using this tutorial. Compare to other icon pack, my pack has manually pen drawed icons.

I can't paste a link, to look my app write in google play search ,,hand icons pen".

Hi im currently using this tutorial to create an icon pack. However i do not know why some of the icons do not change though im am sure that my appfilter is correct and other xmls have the icon required. Can someone help me?

Are you sure you have the same drawable name as your icon name is in appfilter.xml?

All_apps icon for ADW

Right, i'm going crazy here, i've been searching for a while now, probably not searching the right thing i'm new to all this haha. I have some icon themes, only ones using masks and stuff for now to get me started :) they work in nova and apex but in ADW the app drawer icon has the specific icon I made, but it is still shrunk and backed by the appfilter.xml it should look like this but instead it looks like this, with an icon back and scaled to x0.75. any suggestions? :)

Problem with icon mask

Hi i currently have a problem where the icon mask covers the whole icon instead of being behind the icon, help maybe?
[Android Themes] icedblue:
Iconmask covering whole icons
[Android Themes] iamareebjamal:
For behind the icon, it's iconback
[Android Themes] icedblue:
Omg how could I typed wrong, it's iconback that is covering everything
[Android Themes] iamareebjamal:
Well then your iconmask must be completely opaque, so it's making all icons Invisible.
[Android Themes] hatama:
Thanks

I made own icon pack watching this thread. Really helpful!
[Android Themes] icedblue:
But idk why even the default template also covers all icon, and I have checked that my iconmask is not opaque

And your XML is fine.

You should not see an app icon in your app drawer

well the problem is it appears :\
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
If you don't want to see the icon for your app in your app drawer, perhaps you should take the name of your icon pack out of your drawable.xml or drawable.xml and icon_pack.xml.

So im working on my first theme for android but im not sure if what I did works, I get these errors:

[2015-03-07 18:50:55 - ScratchIconSource] Installation error: INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED

[2015-03-07 18:50:55 - ScratchIconSource] Please check logcat output for more details.

[2015-03-07 18:50:55 - ScratchIconSource] Launch canceled!

I tried with Moto X 2013 Running Android 4.4.4

And also Moto X 2014 Running Android 5.0

How Can I add support to newer versions of android?
[Android Themes] flying fog:
so many case

i would like to have a try
[Android Themes] iamareebjamal:
Did the app project have any error? Or the error came when you were launching the app?
[Android Themes] Dvz12:
I get this error on the STEP 7. Testing your app

When I go to Run Configurations and I chose the cellphone right after that I get these errors (here are 2 tries one with Moto X 2014 Android 5.0 and Moto X 2013 Android 4.4.4):

[IMG="Errores"]https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_4gXWzilBG_R19qODRqQXhKSEk/view?usp=sharing[/IMG] (if you can see please see the attached image.

I think the problem here is that the Icon template is for Android 4.4.2 Maybe I need and updated template?
[Android Themes] iamareebjamal:
There exists no such issue. Can you please upload your AndroidManifest here. And please use

tags
[Android Themes] iamareebjamal:
Ok. Some of the issues you'd like to handle are capital package name and minSdkVersion set to 1
[Android Themes] Dvz12:
What should I do? Sorry Im a noob at this :(
[Android Themes] Vivek_Neel:
Change your package name .

Package name must not start with capital letters.

Should be hola....... And not Hola ;)

And raise your minSdkVersion
[Android Themes] Dvz12:
What number would recommend for the minSdkVersion
[Android Themes] iamareebjamal:
8 which is Froyo
[Android Themes] Dvz12:
That would work for Android newest version:confused:

Of course yes :)

I have check those values but now Im having this error... see attached file
[Android Themes] iamareebjamal:
That is because you have in iconpack.xml what you should have in appfilter.xml
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Update via the APK Manager and your file naming is incorrect. That should not be in the iconpack.xml. What you have there should be in the appfilter.xml.

Edit:

ninja'd by iamareebjamal :p
[Android Themes] Dvz12:
Yeah completly wrong I fix it and it install the icon pack but it didnt change any of the icons it should have changed any ideas why? :confused:I think probably there is something wrong with the activities lets say for example for:

LINE I did this

in appfilter.xml :

<item component="ComponentInfo{jp.naver.line.android/jp.naver.line.android.activity.SplashActivity}" drawable="line" />

in Drawable.xml & iconpack.xml :

<item>line</item>

And the png filse has the same as the ones used
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
appfilter.xml

<item component="ComponentInfo{jp.naver.line.android/jp.naver.line.android.activity.SplashActivity}" drawable="line"/>

drawable.xml

<item drawable="line"/>

iconpack.xml

<item>line</item>
[Android Themes] Dvz12:
Still not applying the icons.

Im getting a these errors when I go to run configurations but it still let me install the app

(see attached)

[2015-03-11 20:49:09 - ScratchIconSource] No Launcher activity found!

[2015-03-11 20:49:09 - ScratchIconSource] The launch will only sync the application package on the device!

(see image attached)

Im also not sure if im dropping the png files in the correct place. Should be in Res>drawable-hdpi? or Bin>res-drawable-hdpi?

How do I know which launchers does the app supports?

Im also getting this error (see attached second file)
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
To tell you the truth, I've never really messed with that file much. As far as where you would put your icons, that would depend on the size of your icons. What size are they?
[Android Themes] Vivek_Neel:
Don't worry about the launcher activity.

And on which launcher are you testing this out? Do you have the intent filter of that launcher in your manifest?

First test it on apex and see.

Make sure the names of each icon matches .
[Android Themes] iamareebjamal:
These aren't errors, they are warning. And you have to add any icon you want in your app in /res/, not /bin/res/

You shouldn't mess anything other than /src, /res, /assets, and AndroidManifest.xml
[Android Themes] iamreverie:
This looks pretty neat!

Would love to learn about this as well.

Thanks!
[Android Themes] Dvz12:

I was finally able to apply icons :D thanks a lot for the help, I do have a couple of questions more:

1- How can I support other launchers?

2-In which folder should I put my own icon mask the other generic icons?

3-How can I make the theme apply a wallpaper when I select it?

Thanks in advance :)
[Android Themes] iamreverie:
I'm technically new to this Android Programming and such. This maybe a very newbie question but I'll just try to give it a shot.

. . .

There are a lot of icon packs out there and most if not all of 'em have the pack present at the Apps Section of the device when the "menu" was tapped.

Upon trying this out, it doesn't show on the Apps Section but was present if viewed in the Settings > Apps.

Could someone narrate to me how will I make this one show up?

Thanks!
[Android Themes] Dvz12:
I have finally been able to get it to work :) but now I need to add support for an specific launcher how do I do that? what do I need?:confused:
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
You'll need to make your icon pack compatible via the AndrodManifest.xml. Please check here.
[Android Themes] Dvz12:
So I see that I need some kind of activity to add it in the android manifest, where can I get that activity code?

For Example to add TSF launcher support I only need to add this?

<intent-filter>

<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

<action android:name="com.tsf.shell.themes" />

<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />

</intent-filter>

And how do I get this "com.tsf.shell.themes" for the launcher I need? and how do I know if is is only one activity?
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
If you're not supporting that particular launcher, then don't use it. Have you tried the codes from the above link in your AndroidManifest.xml yet? If you're getting error messages, see what it says that you're missing.
[Android Themes] Dvz12:
The Theme I created using the that template works perfectly on the launchers mentioned by the author, but I want to support another launcher not included on that list how can I know the correct code? is there a way to get it from the activities list?
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
You don't get that from activities. What launcher are you looking to support?

If you want better help, you'll have to be a bit more specific and detailed with your questions.
