Uploaded Red theme v4 made with this latest version and data included for Zooper and Media Utilities.

One thing that's bugging me is that every time I want to start the upload for the first time, after hitting "Start", nothing happens for a few seconds and then the app jumps back to the very beginning of the process and I need to start all over again.

After completing everything again the upload then completes fine. Is has been happening now for at least the last 3-4 versions of the app.
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
Just at the first use of each update?

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
It happens after first use after an upgrade and first use after clearing the apps data. I will try tomorrow what happens when I try to upload again using today's version.
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
Mmmmhhh I am investigating...
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:

[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
Awesome, took me lots of time to figure out. And thank you a lot for having reported it.

Next is to add a reshare function. It has been requested and today I had the need too, made me realize it's an important thing to have.

Did you tried my theme? Does it works outside my devices?

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
No sorry haven't tried it yet. I have been out of order for almost a week due to nasty fever.

I will try it later.
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
No urgence, was just curious :)

[Android Apps and Games] ikjadoon:
Hi, friends! I apologize for my absence. I've been busier than expected with school and life.

Unfortunately, my mom had a real penchant for my S3 (she had an S4). For her, the S4's screen was too big. She wanted to trade and I said "totally!". Free upgrade, right? :D Well, unfortunately, the current firmware (MF3) only has a very risky root method and absolutely no way to flash a custom ROM or recovery. :(

However, I think they are making some progress...when root (safely) returns, so shall I! :D

----

The app looks wonderful, BTW. I played around with an earlier version when I had my S3, but never had the time to test it! :(

~Ibrahim~
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
Good to know you are following the project.

Didn't knew about this S4 issue! It's amazing, I thought every device was rootable!

Hope you will be able to join us very soon. But to tell you the truth I am thinking on going to non rooted device too. So may be you won't need rooted device at all :)

Hi, which theme is it?

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] customworx:
The first theme is "Red" and the second is "Red Theme"

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 4 mit Tapatalk 4
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
Thank you for reporting the error.

Is it the same with the update I posted this night?

If yes Can you post here the log? You can get the log in opening through the application the theme (in copy screen) and in the first screen clicking the Top bar menu button and then click read log.

To help you to post them you can use the button share to send them to your computer.

It would help me to understand what happened.

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] customworx:
Very strange...

Here is a Screenshot because it is not possible to share the log... O_o

its also the last version: v1.21

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 4 mit Tapatalk 4
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
Thank you.

It seems the install process never began. Did you tried with the tonight update?
[Android Apps and Games] customworx:
when the tonite update is version 1.21, then yes :)

perhaps the bug is specific to android 4.3?
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
I just installed red theme from my own post on my Nexus 7 under 4.3 and it works, so it's not a 4.3 bug, something else...

Do you see your home reseted?

Moreover did you checked on Nova? I say that because sometimes I am on apex and I think the process failed but the result was on another home... I know it sound desperate :)
[Android Apps and Games] customworx:
hm... i think i do a fullwipe and a clean reinstall from my rom ... :)
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
You mean you think it's an issue related To your rom? And that you need to clean things? If yes let me know if it fixed things!
[Android Apps and Games] customworx:
I`ll do. but first tonite... have to work ^^ so i need my phone hehe
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
Haha I understand, I take two phones at work in case of... :)
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
I make sure I always have an up-to-date backup ;)
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
That's a pretty good idea. It reminds me I have still not solved OBackup bug people on 4.3 are experiencing. More strange is that it works on my Nexus...
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
And if your add it, please update the onandroid version on the server, I'm still getting the update request every time I open the app :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] customworx:
So...

i reflashed my phone after a complete fullwipe... and i mean COMPLETE :)

still the same... isnt working...

i try another rom tonite ... :)

cheers
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
Thank you for the bug report.

Can you tell me if you see an error message after applying the theme or it just reboot?

[Android Apps and Games] Synapski:
Hi everyone,

I'm working with Snoopy on the OSkin project.

When installing a skin, shortcuts pointing to nonexistent applications will display the default android icon and won't redirect to the desired application (obviously).

In order to remedy to this problem and smoothen the skin installation experience, I created an application to create shortcuts that will preserve the icon of every shortcut on the destination phone.

When the user click on the shortcut, if the application exists on the phone, it will just start. If the application doesn't exist, the user will be able to choose another application to redirect the shortcut.

The application is called … OShortcut!

So if you are creating skins, create all of your shortcuts with OShortcut and don't forget to include Oshortcut in the list of application in OSkin.

I attached the v0.1 of the app to this post. Thoughts and remarks are welcome.
[Android Apps and Games] Pat123:
So, thoughts on Themer Ap out now. It's basically a launcher replacement which allows sharing of themes. Disappointed but I will wait for it's public beta.

[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
Welcome to XDA :good:

I have been playing with the app and it's vey easy to use.

One observation, there seems to be something wrong with the alignment of some apps.
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
Haha, I will send him a message!

BTW does it work correctly for you [MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION] ?
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
I only tried setting a shortcut, and that works perfectly. I can upload the theme with some obscure shortcut set and see what it will do when you try to install it.

Oh Nice App :) was looking for an app like this for some time :o but got a really simple and stupid question, since as of right now, the oskin library of skins is pretty small, is there way to somehow take skins from colorskin.com ?? Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
I know, the bug is fixed in the last source code but I am trying to add some features. I need to finish them before pushing an update.

This app is great!, It saved me a lot of time when I upgraded to a new ROM version, my layout was immediately restored. :good:

Anything new?

I tried to make a backup via COPY tab of the app, and got the home screen listed in INSTALL tab. but what do I do now? I backed up touch wiz configuration and want to restore it in New Google's launcher, but when I restore it, the phone restarts with no changes made. what am I missing?
[Android Apps and Games] giran:
could be usefull for QAs to send some UI bugs reports
[Android Apps and Games] Hirishiolo:
one simple question I don't have understood... can this app copy home screens (shortcuts&widgets) from one launcher to another like Desk Migrate (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ma.deskmigrate) or not? thank you
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
Backup contains everything!

The video is done on Nova and I changed the grid settings. As you can see on the video it works :)

Let us know if it worked (or not :p )

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
Good to hear coyotte!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
I am aware that the first GDrive login fails, after that it will work, I am looking for the reason right now.

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
The good news is that my new system to display errors works :)

The bad one is that you have a bug :)

So let me explain how it works, may be it will give you a hint about the reason of the bug.

So, when there is the list of application displayed in the second step, the icon are extracted and stored in the cache folder.

Then when you create the backup, the icon corresponding to the application included are moved to a temp folder before being compressed.

Before doing this operation, I check that the original icon is launched.

Obviously it is not in your case.

I can see several reasons for that, one of them is that there is no icon associated with this application.

So when you see the list of application, is there one without icon? It would appear as with the green Android icon.

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
I'm also getting the error.
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
Nice theme!

Regarding the bug... does the file indicated exists?

If not, there is a backup log file, can you check it? You can see it from the application in the second screen of the backup process -> top menu -> Backup log

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
No it the file isn't there. Made the screenshot after the error without closing the OSkin app.
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
Any log?

Can you send me your Backup.sh file on my email (contact AT 2borange.com) or private message? (don't post it here please).

I suppose there is nothing in the to_zip folder?

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
After the error the "Precedent" button isn't working and the app just FC when hitting it.

After a restart of the app the log is empty.

I think for future version you could better rename the "Precedent" to "BACK"

EDIT: Also I'm missing a Cancel option, once you start the app there is now way off exiting the process in an elegant way.

---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 AM ----------

Thanks.

As soon as the app is working I can share it with the world :D
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
Back button name ... renamed :)

Quiting the process is done by the up button in the action bar (yeah guidelines say now it s to go up and not back... design guidelines change all the time!)

Regarding the bug, I will need to have a look to your backup script (to send on my email, should not be posted)

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
What backup script do you need exactly?

Please let me know how/where I can pull it of the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
Backup.sh file which in the screenshot you posted.

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
Sorry for the delay, had a much needed espresso break.

[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
Thank you for the link

The shell script seems OK to me. Probably a Java issue.

But in case of, can you try to execute it?

cd /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.pommedeterresautee.oskin/cache/working_folder
sh ./backup.sh

And report here whats happened?

It should work the second time you try, and right now I am fixing this bug.

Let me know if the second try doesn't work too.

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
Thank you this is good news because it means the script works.

And it is bad news because I have no idea of what is the issue here!

ASAP I fix the GDrive issue... will check that!

It seem to be very good app..... :)

[Android Apps and Games] gianlu76:
The second time it is work...thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
It is but member this is only a 12 hour old first beta version, so minor issues are to be expected.
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
I feel the need reaching every parts of my body!

Want to fix the GDrive mess first, then Jog, then your crazy hided bug!

Ok just pushed a new version with many fixes including gdrive and g plus. Let me know if it helps!
[Android Apps and Games] rodaven:
I don't know why the app said me that I haven't any homescreen to copy and I can't find any to install :(
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
Do you have one widget on your homescreen? If not it s normal that you can't copy.

If you imported nothing, then you have nothing to install.

So put a widget, then make a copy. And you will have your first skin to install.

The app is still in private beta, too few Users to find stuff to install. :)

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
Same error as before.
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
That's strange I thought it was a 4.3 error but I just received my Nexus, rooted it in the Middle of the night, tested... And the new version works on it.

I will try to add more debug data.

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
For your info I'm still using a 4.2.2 Rom

Good luck with your new Nexus.
[Android Apps and Games] Pat123:
This is a great idea. However, I am having trouble installing the default theme. I press Install on the screen that shows dependencies and on the next screen it shows an empty list (which I am presuming means all dependencies satisfied) with an Install button. On pressing Install button it goes back again to the Home Screen of the App i.e. nothing happens. Any idea?
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
Hi Pat,

The copy generation goes well right?

And then you reseted your home and tried to restore your previous home, am I right?

Then you installed the generated home, and nothing happened? Did you tried to reboot the device WITHOUT going back on the home? Sometimes the reboot command doesn't work. So just after installation, if you had no error message, then just reboot the device and check if your settings are back.

Let us know if it worked.

In the coming minutes I am about to release a version with much more error messages to try to debug the issue you are experiencing and the one Kantjer reported.

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
New release

Previous one (made at 4AM it explains everything) introduced a bug in the local copy generation.

This update fixes that and add much more error message.

Please let me know if it helps to find the issues.

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
Hope this gives a bit more info
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
I think it s a redirection issue to the log file!

Can you send me again the backup.sh file (in PM or email) as I have changed it since the last time you sent it to me, so the line indicated in this error message may not match with the previous file.

Thank you a lot for your help Kantjer!

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:

Nope. Same error. Tried wiping the data as well, no luck.

---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 PM ----------

Yes
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
The good thing is that I have only one up to fix :)

Which Android version do you have? Stock ROM?
[Android Apps and Games] Pat123:
4.1.2 Custom ROM (based on Stock ROM) on Galaxy Note 2
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
My intuition about the fact that it works for some users (including me) but not you is that because your custom ROM are not using a standard Android shell.

So I have used a tip Ameer is using for OnAndroid which is to execute the script inside a ash shell. Ash is an applet part of Busybox. So everything is now interpreted and executed by Busybox.

I think (I hope) that it should fix your issue.

File attached (not pushed to Play Store until you give me the green light!).

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
Your intuition was right. It's working now :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
I wait for your restore test (make a backup first :)
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
restore ended in a reboot without warning.

No indication anything was actually restored, or that the restore was successful

Edit: the good news is that the home screen is fully in tack after the restore.
[Android Apps and Games] zul8er:
Worked like a charm

https://plus.google.com/109101931358530077640/posts/NMMPiCRrXuQ
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
Indeed there is no reboot warning, I should put a dialog before beginning of the installation process.

I have not yet set a way to inform the user that it worked. I suppose that he will notice by himself :)

But I am not sure to understand, did it worked? Or did you restored a backup made from another application to get back your home?

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
Sorry for not being clear. The restore worked, I did not need to do a restore from any other backup.

One other thing I noticed, I restored 2 times now and both times the Oskin app FC'd when selecting the homescreen to restore, second selection wend OK.

First public post
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
I understood what you meant when I saw your theme!

I have commented about the bug I found in the application y installing your theme. Nothing impossible to fix. But I will need to rewrite one part to manage the external storage.

Btw I think you are using an icon pack. It should be manually included (in the second screen of the copy process you can include more packages).

Thank you a lot for this example it helped me to better understand some widgets I didn't thought to test.

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
I will include the icon pack, good tip. It's now located on Dropbox, not very handy because without a connection I can't even load them myself.

Edit: coming to think about it, the full icon pack must be included for others to be able to change the icons to suit their needs.
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy33:
I have dig a bit regarding desktop visualizer widget. If you click Backup when creating the shortcut the image is save in /storage/dev/.. The issue here is that this application doesnt save its files in /storage/Android/data/packageName... Which is the recommended path. This fact implies that there is no way for me to guess where the files are. So if I want to let the user add its own picture, the only way to do it is to let him pick the good folder. In my opinion it increases the complexity of creating a skin. So here is my question, do people on this thread think that I should add the option to pick some random folder to save inside the skin or should I just indicate that some setup are not possible to save?

[Android Apps and Games] Pat123:
The latest update has resolved the redirection bug. The themes seem to install correctly - it shows a dialog box saying "Installing.." and then restarts the phone. All well till then. But when the phone reboots it does not apply the theme. Infact it reverts Nova Launcher to default settings.

Btw, I tried using the "Test" theme and the Transparent Panels theme. Both end up the same way.
