The only thing that I find which works for me is to 1st make sure that your Kustom folder is backed up to your Computer, External storage or wherever then delete as many of your old, unused themes as possible. I have a tendency to Edit one of my themes then export it with a new date. I end up with a lot of excess and will see the error message you displayed. Never hurts to go into Settings/Apps/KLWP/Storage then clear the cache. I usually don't have to clear data but if you do, it won't wipe out your folders with your themes.
[Android Apps and Games] burrzoo:
All,

I suggest going to Kustom Rocks to search there for answers to your issues or create a help request.

Also, the Kustom discussion thread on Reddit is also very good.

There is also a Discord group. Invite here.
[Android Apps and Games] jt6572:
The reddit... Sub... Is awesome.

I have a Samsung and deleting the partition cache and repairing apps works well for heaps of things.

Maybe if you've got a Samsung look that up?
[Android Apps and Games] Dayuser:
So. I'm hesitating to buy KLWP Pro key because i don't know if i really needed KLWP. I'm now mostly using KWGT widgets and it's enough for me but KLWP themes looks so cool.

Could anyone name best FREE themes for KLWP that is good for daily use or do i just have to buy good themes.

I tag some xda friends that i hope you answer something, but no hard feelings if you don't answer anything (y)

@mamibe @Thebear j koss @MarcusBremen @brouwerchris @msh8472
[Android Apps and Games] MarcusBremen:
@Dayuser

i think only you can answer that.

i started with kwgt and i couldn't get used to it, mainly because of all that resizing i had to do.

so i tried klwp and i sticked with it until today.

i have never used any foreign themes, i always put up my own stuff (inspired by others work).

and i remember, at the beginning you saw a lot of animated presets, but today that trend is gone.

so i can't give you any advice but for me klwp is better (even if i don't use animations today, except for one "if-formula", which isn't a animation).

one advantage, when i set klwp as my background for home/lockscreen, the wall i set up in klwp is also set as my lockscreen wallpaper.

edit: this thread is dead, you can also ask in the "show your homescreen" thread or the few you've mentioned via dm.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
I only use kwgt. There are a lot of free themes for klwp, usually shared on Twitter, reddit, or any social sites. It's really a personal preference. To me it just depends how many homescreens you want to use, you can create a 1 page full screen home page theme using kwgt but if you use a multi homescreen set up klwp allows for more screens.
[Android Apps and Games] mauam:
Asked that to myself a long time ago. Imo KWGT is enough for simple homescreens, but if you like elaborated themes, like cmx hud x, with all the animations & stuff, go for klwp, but keep in mind the battery drain.
[Android Apps and Games] brouwerchris:
I have only very limited experience with KWLT ,

I'm still a novice only on KWGT.

So I don't think I'm qualified enough to advise you on this.

Both tools can produce beautifull homescreens in the right hands.
[Android Apps and Games] frankmonza:
Hi! Thanks for checking Kustom!!! So:

1) Those are static images downloaded by using a formula in the Bitmap preference (you can use http urls in place of Bitmaps paths, so Maps are just one of the possibilities), there is a dedicated section in the G+ community full of examples: https://plus.google.com/communities...1/stream/2aaa2da2-9874-48eb-98ca-b1212ab54c3f

2) On touch animations have just been added with latest release (1.38), a bit limited now will be expanded in the future

3) A Live Wallpaper has 2 huge advantage over a Widget, first the LWP knows when he is shown to the user and when not, second its capable of using 2D/3D HW acceleration. This means that battery usage is very close to zero even when doing 30fps animations unless you are always watching your homescreen and keep scrolling it. I don't know how Zooper is implemented but usually widgets are sending updates also when not on screen if screen is on (so if you are using GMail for instance) and this might cause more battery usage. The editor is a separate process and that might have impact on battery if you use it a lot. A more detailed answer is available in the FAQ here: https://kustom.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/360627-faq

4) 500ms? That's a lot. From version 1.38 Kustom has native Tasker support, i suggest you to test it out, i have not checked the latency but i am pretty sure is less than 500ms, usually a full update on complex themes in Kustom takes less than 100ms (and this is a full update which is not always done) while a partial update around 10ms. Finally a simple draw is below 1ms.

Hope it helps!!!

Join the G+ community. Lots of answers to e found and peple are very willing to help
[Android Apps and Games] wyt18:
thanks! for 2, I am on beta but it looks like the only way to do this is via (a somewhat convoluted approach of) a global switch, rather than a direct touch/swipe event? there doesn't seem to be an option for triggering animation other than scroll/gyro/global switch

---------- Post added at 04:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------

thanks for the quick response! managed to get 1 (maps via static images) working!

for (3), i did a parallel test on my two devices of the responsiveness of Kustom, a Zooper widget, and dynamic text on Lightning Launcher. Kustom does indeed respond slightly more quickly than Zooper and Lightning to a Tasker action, but Kustom is significantly slower to update when the screen first powers on (>300ms after Zooper and Lightning). Is this normal behavior, or something specific to my setup?
[Android Apps and Games] Cjeetje63:
You do need a global switch but you don't need gyro to get an animation.
[Android Apps and Games] frankmonza:
I will add direct animations on touch on next version, problem is that you will be able to animate only the item being touched, with globals you can animate more than one item at once, but yes, its more complex (you associate a touch to aglobal switch and then one or more animations to that switch)

For "3" if you mean that stuff is appearing later after unlocking then this is known and its due to a bug android has in reporting that the screen has been unlocked, you should make this disappear by going in the advanced editor and switching the root layout visibility from "when unlocked" to "always", then stuff should always show and so get updated quite quickly when unlocking.
[Android Apps and Games] nphillips:
Elements larger than viewport

Is it possible to create elements that flow outside of the view? I'm trying to make a parallax effect with a scrolled image, but there doesn't seem to be a way to scale beyond the width of the screen. It also appears that the image must also be square...which seems odd to me.

Did I miss something in the options?
[Android Apps and Games] frankmonza:
So:

- If you want to have items larger than 720 "kustom points" just enable scaling in Layer -> Scaling and set scaling to, for example, 200. If you want you can also use an overlap group and use scale inside that.

- Image Modules keep aspect ratio so if your image is square it will stay square, if you want to crop a bitmap to a shape you can use the shape module and then use a bitmap to fill it in Fx -> Texture -> Bitmap

Hope it helps.

P.S. be careful adding a lot of images it will use a lot of memory
[Android Apps and Games] nphillips:
Perfect! Just what I was looking for :D

Thanks for the amazingly quick response!
[Android Apps and Games] Dj Telo:
I am trying to find a suitable replacement for MediaUtilities. In other words, an app that allows me to send information about currently playing track, artist and album to Tasker in order to react to it. Could anyone tell me if Kustom could somehow help me do this? Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] xo.en:
As usual, no NORMAL download for people without google components in rom;/
[Android Apps and Games] frankmonza:
Yes, Kustom has native Music support, you don't need any additional app for Music cover information
[Android Apps and Games] frankmonza:
Kustom uses in app payments so its currently not easy to handle PRO check without the Play Store being installed. Would adding it to Amazon store fix your issue?
[Android Apps and Games] xo.en:
So how can this app be served here as freeware(adverting of paid apps is off rules here)?

I just need link to FREE version, ok?
[Android Apps and Games] frankmonza:
App is free but there are some additional feature that can be bought on app. Latest APK can be found here:

https://rink.hockeyapp.net/apps/841d1a9421b54e9e40f8fcf2666afd66

I do not provide any automatic update outside Google store right now but you can check that page every now and then (and thanks for the request, added link to the OP)
[Android Apps and Games] xo.en:

sorry for being annoying earlier, I feel not to well today, it affects me bad way, apparently....
[Android Apps and Games] frankmonza:
Ahah, no worries, it was actually a good idea to have an APK direct link

WHY?

Hi

Why is double tap option removed?
[Android Apps and Games] frankmonza:
What KLWP was doing before 2.03 was waiting for the second tap to be confirmed before deciding what to do, the issue was that this caused a small delay (300ms) in the detection of the single tap and this was really annoying for the users.

In theory launchers should support sending double tap to the wallpaper and this would cause no delay but sadly only Lighnting Launcher supports this so its not enough to enable the option (because i would get a lot of questions on why its not working). I have asked Launcher devs to implement this and if they will i will add the double tap back.

I am really sorry but in order to have a good single tap this has to be done.
[Android Apps and Games] FdeKlerk:
Understandable!:good:
[Android Apps and Games] nuttkrakk:
Using nova apex or llx with multiple pages, klwp shows the correct layout. But when using other launchers epic, lucid, lollipop etc. Wall paper metrics get strange. Does anyone know how to fix?
[Android Apps and Games] zenlorn:
The pro option doesn't seem to work after re installing the app.
[Android Apps and Games] frankmonza:
This is likely a launcher issue, if you can give me the launcher name along with the issue you have (pages not detected correctly for example), i will try to contact the author or you can report to launcher authors that live wallpaper scrolling is not acting correctly (this is something they should fix, i cant do much)
[Android Apps and Games] frankmonza:
I am releasing a separate PRO key app today to avoid this issue which happens on some device and i am not able to understand why
[Android Apps and Games] zenlorn:
So would I have to repurchase the pro key app? Or is there going to be some other process involved?
[Android Apps and Games] nuttkrakk:
Any AOSP based launcher. I tried lucid, epic and lollipop launcher by Mobint which IMHO is the cleanest. Somehow a 2 page setup on klwp slides halfway (pinkmotion from play store).

Also if I use LLX, it slides correct but wallpaper tap only works on 1st page...
[Android Apps and Games] frankmonza:
Yes, you can either send me the purchase code and i refund the in app purchase so you can buy again or you uninstall the app, clear dalvik cache and reboot which should work
[Android Apps and Games] frankmonza:
For wallpaper tap on LLX please ensure you configured LLX to send wallpaper taps to the wallpaper (and also at least reboot once after installing KLWP)

For the AOSP launchers its strange, also Nova is based on AOSP, anyway, i will try lollipop and see what happens with pinkmotion.
[Android Apps and Games] JPhantom95:
I found this app today thanks to a post on reddit. I have one question- is it possible to have a music play/pause button that also functions to start playing music if no media app is open already?

In any case, I bought pro because this app is too amazing. Keep up the great work!

I notice that if I use Google Play Music, pause the song, swipe away the notification, and then press a play button in KLW the song will play again. Cool. However, if the phone is rebooted and the play button is pressed nothing will happen. Using a different music player is worse in that playing a song, pausing it, swiping away the song notification, and then pressing play will result in nothing happening.
[Android Apps and Games] frankmonza:
Welcome to KLWP!!! So Kustom currently does not save the last player being used, so, if you press "play" it will be able to play only if you used a player at least once after booting. What i can do is to open the last used player if none has been used yet (saving it from last time), this will however open the player on your screen not "play" a song since this is not possible.
[Android Apps and Games] jr67:
Just started using this and I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I notice that bi(plugged) doesn't survive a reboot. I display the total time since I unplugged my phone but it kept resetting every time I rebooted (I use CM and tend to flash a new nightly everyday). I can work around this using Tasker but is there a way to fix this without having to resort to a workaround?
[Android Apps and Games] frankmonza:
Definitely a bug, will try to fix on next release
[Android Apps and Games] g0t-cheeri0s:
Hiya Frank. Purchased a couple themes on Playstore, they show up in the load list but there's nothing there. I've cleared cache, rebooted, uninstalled downloaded themes and reinstalled, still nothing. Any idea what's going on? I've messaged the theme dev but have heard nothing back.

[Android Apps and Games] frankmonza:
Are you sideloading the app or its installed via playstore? Did you send also an email or you are a different user? Are you using a custom ROM?
[Android Apps and Games] sathya:
The same thing is happening to me too :(
[Android Apps and Games] g0t-cheeri0s:
Installed via Playstore. Running Pro. I've installed other themes a while ago with no problems. Running a custom ROM (PA for the LG G2 D802).

Yeah that was me that emailed. After I sent it I hought it be better to air here in case other users are experiencing the same problem (which someone seems to be). Sorry if it seemed like hassling, that was not my intention :)
[Android Apps and Games] frankmonza:
No worries just trying to understand if multiple users had the same issue, as per the email please try to uninstall all skins except one like LCR that works for sure, it might be that, i am investigating.
[Android Apps and Games] jdec529:
I am having the same issue. They show in the list but show 0 items. Tried uninstalling, rebooting, and clearing data and cache. Also tried LCR and its not working. Running a stock rom with xsposed and nova launcher.

Edit: not sure if this is related but thought I would add it in case it is. I can load one from the base pack and set it. Then if I go to load another from the base back it brings it to the edit screen but there is no option to apply it, or set as wallpaper.
[Android Apps and Games] frankmonza:
What do you mean with "there is no option to apply it"? You just need to save using the save icon.
[Android Apps and Games] jdec529:
Lol, oversight on my part. Thx
[Android Apps and Games] g0t-cheeri0s:
Just realised it's not me that you're referring to when you talk about the e-mail. I haven't received a response so it's a different user.

Anyway, I uninstalled everything. All skins and the app itself. Reinstalled Kustom, went Pro in app, installed Calmm. Still nothing.

Done those steps again but bought a new pro licence as an external app, still didn't work.

LCR works. Blocks doesn't. I spoke to Blackbear (who made Calmm), he sent me a separate apk of the theme and that still didn't work. It works for him.

[Android Apps and Games] frankmonza:
So, i might have found the issue thanks to another user who sent the logcat, apparently the issue is due to an XPosed mod called Amplify which prevents providers being awakened when loading skins, you can see this in the logs in case:

I/DeepHyber( ...): Refuse content request for hibernated app: glassatlas.kustom.waveandanchor/org.kustom.api.Provider

I am not aware of any solution right now except for disabling that mod.

show on single screen

I was wondering how to make things stay on just one screen. lets say if i have 3 screens, id like to have animated dock on center screen, and other widgets/apps on the first and last screen.. Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] frankmonza:
To show an object on one screen you need to add an animation, just go into the animation "tab", add an animation of type "fade out", then set center screen to the screen you want it to show. The "speed" parameter will control how fast the item will fade away when scrolling.
[Android Apps and Games] sda02:
First of all congratulations for the great app. I have a little question and maybe this is not the right place. In that case excuse me. By the way, I purchased the pro version within the app itself but it seems that in my app directory on play store I don't have the pro version. I mean I could purchase the pro key app again. It is normal? I became also a tester, I will have the beta version? Thank for the replay.
[Android Apps and Games] frankmonza:
There are 2 ways to go pro, by purchasing "in app" and by purchasing a "separate app" (the pro key), you can use one or the other its up to you, so if you bought "in app" then you are fine, all features should be unlocked, if you have issues just let me know (and if, in case, you want to go from the in app to the separate pro app i can refund your purchase so you can switch method).
[Android Apps and Games] sda02:
Thank you for the replay, I don't have issue at all. Finally how can I see if I am a tester already? Best regards.

Hello, I paid the app from inside but Icant use the pro features.

What can i do??

Edit : everything its ok now.
[Android Apps and Games] frankmonza:
If you bought from inside the app and you do not get the pro feature try to press "buy in app" again, it should just close the dialog, then exit the app completely pressing the back button and try to go back, if its still not working it might be a rom issue, in that case i can refund you the in app purchase and you can buy the separate pro app key

Anything I can do to fix this? I appreciate any help you can give me, thanks for your time!
[Android Apps and Games] frankmonza:
Please exit the application completely using the back button and enter again. If its still not working let me know.

[MENTION=6044166]frankmonza[/MENTION] Am building a full skin with animated built in color pallette chooser using images for the viewable palettes. Got to a certain point and all animations stopped. I am up to 8 global settings with 8 separate global switches using high res image sizes. Have I just exceeded what the app can handle?
[Android Apps and Games] frankmonza:
There is no limit in globals or switches BUT if you have many high res images then you might hit a memory limit and if you hit that then everything becomes very slugghish, try remove some images and see if its that
[Android Apps and Games] suchevent:
Hi, Frank. Thank you for this beast of an app. Absolutely loving it. :good:

Q: Is there a way to bold certain text? Or change the font of a text depending on certain conditions?
[Android Apps and Games] frankmonza:
You cannot yet use fonts as globals or "bb code" like zooper right now (but i am working on this), you can however in the meanwhile probably do what you want by doing the following

Create an overlap group

Add the text you want

Copy paste the text as a new module

In the new module set Paint Style to "stroke"

Tune stroke to change the "bold" amount

So setting a formula in the stroke amount of the second element will change the "boldness" depending on conditions. You can then use globals to ensure that both texts properties are easy to change (color / text).

Hope it helps.
