[Themer General Discussion] ritalin:
Everything you have listed here is for Media Utilities based variables. So this is nothing to do with Zooper Themer itself.

When you have two version of Media Utilities installed on a device things get odd with Themer.

You have to remember that Themer itself has its own baked in version of MU, then you are adding a stand alone version (not sure which one) on top of it.

Dont ask me why, but Zooper Themer does NOT work with Themer MU. The variables just do not work at all, because the Themer version of MU does not broadcast anything for Zooper to pickup via variables. I have argued for this feature to be added since before I began work here. There is a thread at the support site asking for this to be added. Its been at the top of the list for some time now, but one more vote never hurts.

Once this support is added, it will work just fine.

BTW about 90% of what you want to do with Zooper and MU is getting ready to be possible in Everything Widget. Since I have yet to get them to budge on the Zooper MU thing, I have slowly had them add in a good deal of this stuff to EW. You should see it in the next update. Im sure you are in the same boat as me, and would rather do it in Zooper, but it is what it is. As a small bonus, due to the way EW renders layers, the reaction time for changes shown on screen with this stuff is much faster. Its not quite instant on touch, but its much faster than Zooper.

There will be no rotation in EW though, nor should you ever really use it. This is due to the way both EW and Zooper render widgets. First off you cant get faster than 1fps, which looks like ass. I introduced the spinning record idea to the Zooper Pro community, and worked with a few other guys to see how well it could be optimized. In the end, we decided it didnt look good enough to warrant the battery drain it causes.

You have to always keep in mind that Zooper renders the widget you see on your desktop as a flat PNG image. Every layer in your widget is compiled into this one png. So this means that if you have something that is changing in the widget on a per-second basis, it is asking Zooper to re-render a new PNG every second. This will MURDER a battery. The best you can do is set the rotation to only occur when music is playing, and to be static when paused.

FYI, Everything Widget does the same flattening to PNG that Zooper does. The difference is that each layer in the widget is flattened into its own PNG. This is the reason why EW will be faster to change an image (play button to pause button for example) because it does not need to think or take into account all of the other layers when it re-renders. It only changes the layer that needs to update.

Hmmmm... There have been a few users recently that needed to completely un-install > delete MCS folder > reinstall.

I would suggest you take this route to see if it fixes your issue.

Since you are flashing a new rom on your device, I would suggest a fresh install from the market, and not a reinstall of a backup.

Let me know how it goes.
