how do you make a keystore to sign the package and if i put the theme on the market where do i go i think windows 7 is not playing nice with the keystore tool it will not open
[G1 Apps and Games] djosiah:
yeah thats what im trying to say. the 3 folders you mentioned arent there? only the package. here is a screenshot of what i mean.
[G1 Apps and Games] bkmo:
You do this from the filemanager of your OS, not from eclipse. In windows you would go to the folder of the project you created with windows explorer and change the names there, and also do the edits there. Then you can restart or refresh eclipse to see the changes.
[G1 Apps and Games] Janiko:
:) Yes I am. I loaded it down yesterday and I was happy to read the postings, that everything works fine. But I am sorry to tell, it´s not fine on my G1.

But I can wait....thats no problem....lol.....
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
Janiko: Does the FCs occur with your widgets removed? Just in case it's caused by a widget... ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] djosiah:
wow do i feel like i noob right now! haha ive got it working! just need to make a few changes to the drawables and will put it on the market :)
[G1 Apps and Games] bkmo:
Cool, I knew you could do it...I did.
[G1 Apps and Games] Diceman4:
I've got a market account as well if anyone wants me to post their themes.

Just let me know what you want the description to say and include any screenshots you want up.

I will give appropriate credit on market :)
[G1 Apps and Games] bkmo:
Sure would like that. I am attaching here the file and screenshots.

You can say it is a GDE theme Inverted from the original in Black-Blue with elements from the Enoch theme. Goes well with dark themes.

Thanks a bunch.

edit: can you install it first to see if it is ok on your phone. I only tested on mine. Thanks.
[G1 Apps and Games] Diceman4:
Works fine on mine, and published!
[G1 Apps and Games] Hotas:
How did you get the notification bar colored? On a stock Magic it keeps original color.

Thanks.
[G1 Apps and Games] Diceman4:
Currently you have to be rooted and have a regular full theme applied. I believe that Rogro has said that he plans on including that feature for themers in the future however.
[G1 Apps and Games] djosiah:
ahh didnt know me needed a market account :( couls someone help me out with this whole key store thing not sure what im supposed to put in location, password and confirm?
[G1 Apps and Games] Hotas:
Ah, ok. Like the theme anyway.

Thanks,

Derek.
[G1 Apps and Games] Diceman4:
In location just put the full path of where you want to keep it (i.e. C:\Eclipse\SampleKey)

Then for password put whatever password you want and retype it in confirm.

EDIT:

I wouldn't mind publishing yours if you don't have a market acct :)
[G1 Apps and Games] djosiah:
thanks man. i will PM you the apk and screenshots when ive done this eclipse thing. it seems never ending lol. ok i did what you said and now its got another screen up asking for the key alias and password etc. i know i put the password in but what is they key alias and how long should the validity be? sorry for being a pain
[G1 Apps and Games] Diceman4:
No problem, Eclipse can be a bit confusing. Just put anything as your key alias (I just made mine Diceman I think...) and I put in the PW and your good to go!

Edit:

Hey if you could make your screenshots 320w x 480h it would be appreciated (That way I can just throw them up without photoshop) If not its no big deal.
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
rogro: Could you also make it possible for the folders on the desktop to sort the icons within it by name? Currently it seems to auto-arrange on it's own in a weird way.
[G1 Apps and Games] Diceman4:
If you keep having issues hit me up on gtalk paradis.michael at gmail.com
[G1 Apps and Games] benmyers2941:
Ditto with the application dock.
[G1 Apps and Games] djosiah:
Diceman thanks for all the help i got there in the end lol here is the theme and screenshots. for the info section you can just put something like it is a black and red theme for GDE and more colours will be available soon :D.
[G1 Apps and Games] Diceman4:
Published :)
[G1 Apps and Games] Janiko:
Hi good news:

I have reinstalled and installed 2x, and now it seems it works fine.

I am happy....:) but i don´t know, what´s going wrong.

Thank you for good work

But there ist one thing:

How can i place the "search-button" on a screen of GDE?

I can´t find any shortcut for it?
[G1 Apps and Games] SizeOfAPlanet:
long press -> widgets -> search widget!?! ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] Hotas:
I think this is a Google standard widget that you can choose. At least on my Magic.
[G1 Apps and Games] djosiah:
thanks man. sorry to do this to you, but i have just finished the green version. would you be able to publish that on the market too? again for the info just say its a black and green theme for GDe and morre colours will be available soon. thanks you very much for doing this :)
[G1 Apps and Games] Diceman4:
My pleasure! Published:)
[G1 Apps and Games] djosiah:
thank you very much. i think i will hold off on the other colours until rogro makes a new theme template where you can customise the status bar. do you reckon you could be my designated theme uploader? if not dont worry.
[G1 Apps and Games] Diceman4:
I've got no problem being your uploader! If you want just throw the Screenshots and apk in a zip and email them to paradis.michael at gmail.com and I'll be able to get to them faster than posting them here since I always check my email.
[G1 Apps and Games] Diceman4:
Hey can you send me the wallpapers? I have a few people asking about them. So that way until Rogro changes it to let us change the wallpaper I can send it over in an email.
[G1 Apps and Games] djosiah:
ok thanks again. yeah which wallpapers did you want?
[G1 Apps and Games] Diceman4:
The ones that are in the screenshots for each theme :)

LOL, wow there is a lot of interest in these themes :)

FYI, I have gotten several requests already about the wallpapers :)
[G1 Apps and Games] djosiah:
yeah no problem. i got the red wallpaper from the mblend theme and i put together the green one. i have also attached a green version of the red wallpaper just in case someone wants that aswel :)
[G1 Apps and Games] Diceman4:
Cool thanks. Also someone just asked about the weather widget color schemes that you have in the SS. Are those in the WW downloader?
[G1 Apps and Games] Janiko:
Good idea...i had it myself... but i havn´t seen it.....knockingonmyhead...thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] djosiah:
no there not i edited some of manup themes. i will email the zip files to you as i think we are sort of hijacking this thread lol.

Random feedback

I tried that. It didn't seem to work. I even tried placing where I dropped them, trying to do it in order.

Setup is pretty slow on this one, but I still like it. I wish there were a grid view for folders in the app drawer, and a way to somehow deprioritize or hide All Apps, or just put it somewhere different from my custom folders.

I also wish, given my small fingers, that I could put icons closer together. Once we start seeing bigger screens on phones, this might be someone else's wish, too.

I'm noticing that it's defaulting back to Cube transition, possibly every time it reloads, and that Normal transition doesn't loop.

I'm getting a little random bog. I haven't figured it out yet. A few FC/W, but I was getting that with Advanced Launcher, too.

I'm getting FCs for Audio Manager widget. I wasn't before I loaded this. Not that it matters. The thing is generally unfriendly.

When I use the SMS button defaulting to Handcent, there isn't a way to enter a destination number/contact. That may have come up already, but I haven't read much.

It took me a bit to figure out the app dock with my dark wallpaper. Not that it's not intuitive, but it's visually subtle, and there's really no indication that grabbing the right edge is what will move it. I'd like to actually see more icons than 3 on it, practically speaking, but I have to say the fade out on the edge is cool.

Wouldn't a vertical app dock be cool?

I'm also noticing there's a lot of weird crossover data storage between Advanced Launcher, maybe Better Cut, and this. Shortcuts I add to GDE end up on AL, too. I get overly complicated with setups like this, and for a day or so I end up switching back & forth between Home apps (It's actually kind of nice to have a more leisurely setup on one and a serious, bare bones, work-oriented fast setup on another.) I'll check into that a little deeper.

I does seem more efficient than the others I've tried. Once it's up it's very responsive.

I really like the features this offers over the others!

EDIT: I've just got too much software I've gotten too attached to on my little G1. I can't manage memory for all my apps plus running an additional desktop. It's really efficient, though, and the lag I get is fairly infrequent, but it happens when I really need things to work, like GV (it seems to be a bit of a hog), and Handcent (another hog, but I'm hooked). The other problem I had it is was so much slower to load after closing a memory hog, or a few other apps. I'd pay $3 and a few K for the app dock widget on its own, though.

I plan to try to pare things down on my "always running" app list so that I can really get on board with this. Or maybe I'll just get a new phone when a good GSM (vs CDMA) comes out. If Verizon wanted to buy out my TMo contract, I'd hop in two seconds, just so I could get more really great apps, like this one, in regular use.
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
Janis thanks for your response.. I will take all your issues in to consideration... Its hard to make everyone happy, but I am doing my best to make it as configurable as people want it to be...

If you have any more ideas please keep posting... GDE is based on all ideas I have heared/read in here so theres a big chance you will seeing a lot of your input implemented..

( I have noticed working on the modified / advanced launcher that you are big resource of ideas... so please keep posting in here ;) )

@all the themers

Notification bar will be a no go... the notification bar drawable is part of the Android framework and cant be changed ( I wish it was ).. Please keep posting themes because im loving theme :)

I have downloaded every theme thats in the market at the moment.

I know theres a lot that can be changed about theming, but i would really like to see people making a post which states what you all need to make the best themes. I am already working on the wallpaper chooser, but I know you want/need more... Please let know what that is :)

Thanks!
[G1 Apps and Games] overground:
Added the folders problem to the todo list...in the meantime, if there's a folder out of view, you can open it up, grab the app from the list and drop it into the open folder.

@ rogro82: I'll let you add Janis' requests to the list....they made my head spin. ;) Oh yeah, and why do you make us pay to beta test your apps?:p

@ Janis: That method I posted has since not been fool proof for me either. Seemed like it at the time. Sorry about that.
[G1 Apps and Games] Diceman4:
Rogro -

I think for me the main thing that I am hearing from people DL'ing the themes I posted for DJ is questions about the wallpapers. I have been emailing them to anyone who asks though.

Also- had a few questions about non-us access to paid apps to get GDE and took the liberty of forwarding your email. Hope you don't mind :)

A few things that would be nice:

1) Being able to change text color in the GDE menus

2) Perhaps adding a skinnable GDE clock widget that we could include with our themes

3) Be able to theme the app dock

That's pretty much all I can think of at the moment.

Thanks for all of your hard work!
[G1 Apps and Games] phantom574:
1. Thank you so much for you hard work!

2. I am want to replace this as my standard launcher/ui for my g1. im running a hero rom jester blur 1.2.0 is it possible for me to remove rosie and use this as default?

3. Will hero widgets be compatible with this launcher?
[G1 Apps and Games] Icebergxx:
Since this app uses a 3d animation such as the cube affect for a theme couldn't we make a book?

And turning the screen would flip a page? I think that could be very neat.
[G1 Apps and Games] overground:
C

Great idea! I'll add it to the ideas section of the todo list when I'm non-mobile.

While it may be possible to remove Rosie and use this, you will probabably need the stock launcher installed. Due to vast framework differences, Rosie widgets will not work with GDE. Rogro has plans for his own custom widgets which will accept direct user input.:)
[G1 Apps and Games] bkmo:
I thought it was a pain in the butt to create a theme. That was yesterday......I just did an Enoch port in about 10 minutes......that is today. I sent it along to Diceman4 to post it on the market.

Question? Will you be adding the text to the landscape menubar? I have been doing the images without a text-box as I think it looks better that way.
[G1 Apps and Games] jessetbenton:
new feature recommendation

So I really like this launcher replacement. The cube scrolling is so freakin awesome. So far using it today I've come across a few things that were hard to do or features that could be added.

-I noticed that the live folder animated box doesn't fill the whole screen. At first I thought it was because of the application dock, but even on a blank screen it doesn't work.

-I think you could improve the way the application folders work.

For example, being able to select multiple applications to be placed in the folder. Also locking the new folders in place when you create them. I made a folder and expected to be dragging a shortcut onto my home screen, but i took the whole folder.

-It would be so great to be able to drag live folders onto the application dock.

-One thing that I have also really enjoyed in other launcher like apps is the feature to change the clock size. Ranging from the standard size to a full page widget.

-oh i almost forgot. could you make it so it can rotate to landscape? I can only get it to rotate when I open my g1's keyboard. also on my g1 when i open the keyboard, the wallpaper gets cropped, or rather it stays the same width.

here is a picture of the live folder mess up and landscape crop issue
[G1 Apps and Games] zimphishmonger:
the chrome theme looks good. Little too yellow and blue, but I LOVE the transparency. Great job! maybe take a look at the gChrome theme for a good base.....
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
zimphishmonger: where's the chrome theme?

[G1 Apps and Games] 2leaponover1:
I was wondering if this forum could be broken up into sections at this point. There is a lot of stuff mixed in as far as suggestions, themes, instructions. I really am interested in just a thread for the basic instructions to use this app. There is too much going on, too many changes, and not enough of a "guide" on how to use it. Don't tell me to use the search function cause the search functions is horrible on this site.
[G1 Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
you dont need to search. just look at the first post and you will find a guide on how to use it. it cannot be easier. that's all there is too it.
[G1 Apps and Games] Stylez Ray.:
This is by far the best home replacement.

One thing though: How can I save which transition effect should be used? I like strech most but once in a while it just changs to cube.
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
That is a currently known bug. I believe it will be fixed soon!
[G1 Apps and Games] SizeOfAPlanet:
@ bkmo:

i really like that enoch theme, goes rather well with my LittleBigPlanet wallpaper. now if you could just smoothen those icons. sadly they're a little pixelated :(
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
here is my Google Chrome theme- still works in progress... yes maybe too much yellow but when i am happy with it i will release to the market.

quick question for the eclipse gurus- when i go into the AndroidManifest.xml and edit the android:versioncode to say 1.2 it will thru up an error saying something like Error: Float types not allowed (at 'versionCode' with value '1.2

So changing the name is good as it tells the phone it is versino 1.1 but it wont let me upgrade when installing i have to uninstall first and then reinstall...

***edit*** thanks for that rogro82- fixed it now.... i thought that may be it but didnt want to screw it up.... reuploaded for all to try....
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
versionCode has to an integer ( just raise the value by one if you make a new update ).

Use the version field for real versions ( this is the one being displayed ).
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
Speaking of updates. Version 0.1.7.3 should allow people to save the transition settings.

Can anyone let me know if its working correctly?
[G1 Apps and Games] randomperson2:
Works for me after rebooting.
[G1 Apps and Games] sebx_g1:
On 0.1.7.2 I'm having problems with incoming calls , there is no ringtone played ?

Where to get 0.1.7.3 ?

BTW . Good job !!!
[G1 Apps and Games] the_fish:
Another question... just wondering: is the worse than default launcher performance at transition on home screen normal? like, even the default transition is laggy :p well, if it is normal, i hope it's gonna be fixed :o well it isn't the end of the world lols :P
[G1 Apps and Games] billquinn1:
Just want to say I am very happy with the performance. I have had some trouble with Cyans mod lately losing the icons temporarily ( I am on the latest version) This has not happened with GDE.

I do have one question though. Should I remove most things from the standard "desktops" or are they not loaded at all when GDE is the chosen home screen program?
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
While I was trying to theme, I realized that the folders icon when you long-press to add a widget/wallpaper/folder is the same as the folders icon within the menu. All seem to be reading from folders_live.png. Is it supposed to be like this?
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
I made a simple port of the Android 2.0 theme for cyanogen by djengizz. All credit goes to him! :)

Original Theme: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=577651

Unzip the file first to get the apk :).

I've also uploaded the images I used and modified in "drawables.zip". No sources tho (I didn't save them :X).

rogro82: It'd be good if you could have an illustration of some sorts saying what each png file represents. There're some files that I can't figure out,or are they not in use yet? Thank you.
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
Lastly, here's the bug I said earlier with regards to setting wallpapers. I've done some testing and realized it only occurs when the default launcher is not running. That is, if I reboot my phone, GDE will be running while Launcher is not really launched yet. I tried to set the wallpaper, I'll get the bug.

However, if I were to switch to Launcher, say using Home Switcher, Launcher is now launched. From there, going back to GDE and setting the wallpaper occurs with no bug.

Check the screenshot attached.
[G1 Apps and Games] djosiah:
nice theme. if you want them to be published on the market PM Diceman. im sure he will be happy to do it for you as he has done all the others including mine :)
[G1 Apps and Games] randomperson2:
Honestly, that's more of a feature than a bug at the moment. They are working on a better way to set wallpapers. It seems to be more complicated than one might think...
[G1 Apps and Games] rutger1413:
I just got my droid today and attempted ot use GDE. The problem i had with it was that it didnt seem like it worked correctly on the large screen of the Droid. I had this issue with all of the homescreen replacments (at least the ones i could get to work).

The problem could best be described as the drawing of the bottom third of the screen was off. So if i put a widget on one of the screens, say the clock, the 6 on the bottom of the clock would be on all 4 of the other screens. Real wierd behavior. Panda home did the same thing. I couldnt get open home or dxtop to work at all. Ahome worked, but it didnt support any of the standard widgets.

Sorry if this was a piss poor job of explaining the problem, feel free to PM me.
[G1 Apps and Games] randomperson2:
Is GDE even being coded to work across all android devices?
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
Yes it is but I still dont have a high resolution device so if anyone can post a screenshot of how it looks on a higher resolution please do.

I think i know whats happening... the wallpaper doesnt stretch all the way down and because the screen is transparent it doesnt gets refreshed on all other screen so if you put a clock on screen one on the bottom you will also see the drawing on screen 2, 3 etc..

I will look into this asap, but if you can still post up a screenshot to make sure im correct that would be wonderful
[G1 Apps and Games] overground:
It wouldn't hurt to remove everything from the stock launcher...I did.

@ Wysie: Thanks for the theme...looks great!
[G1 Apps and Games] SizeOfAPlanet:
agreed, that 2.0 theme is great - save for that fugly contacts icon, WTH is up with that?? :-/
[G1 Apps and Games] rutger1413:
Once I get home ill post up a screenshot
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
SizeOfAPlanet: What's wrong with the contacts icon? Or rather, which icon are you referring to exactly?

Edit: When installing and all, it shows EclairTheme, however when trying to uninstall it I can't find EclairTheme, and realized it's SampleTheme instead. I've checked the necessary things to change, what am I doing wrong? Thanks!
[G1 Apps and Games] Diceman4:
Look in the strings.xml
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
@Wysie: so you changed the strings.xml?

BTW: you can change the icon of the apk - why not make it the market cube thingy icon in eclair?
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
@MontAlbert: Yeah I've changed strings.xml... :( I found some icon of an eclair online, edited it a little with the GDE icon in the background :D.

Update: Added background for menu, added some other minor graphics. Fixed "On Call Pressed" (used the same image twice). I need some help with 9-patch images :(.
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
i have attached the final (probably) version for my theme- GoogleChrome- its a very colourful theme- if you dont like colourful its not for you :D
[G1 Apps and Games] Diceman4:
I've thrown several themes on the market since I have an account. If you want I can throw yours out there too :)
[G1 Apps and Games] overground:
@ Wysie: That icon is classic! :D
[G1 Apps and Games] SizeOfAPlanet:
@Wysie

nothings "wrong" with the contacts folder icon, i just dont like the way it looks ^^
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
Oh ok, I don't intend to change it since I want to stick as close as possible to the Android 2.0 theme. Thanks overground :D.

MontAlbert: I like the final Chrome theme! :D The border around the yellow part in the menubar seems to be blurred though...

Changing the value in strings.xml changes the theme name displayed in GDE, but it's still shown as SampleTheme when I try to uninstall it. I think it's the Application Name, may I know where I can change that in Eclipse? Thank you.

Edit: Seems to be a bug with AppControl :P. When I install the apk via Astro it shows EclairTheme, no mention of SampleTheme anywhere :D.

Update: Version 1.3 out. More drawables replaced. I'm left with about 10 to 15 images to replace. Also, landscape toolbar is added (no menubar tho). I don't really like the current menubar I made, will try to improve. :)

.9 pngs are not in yet, messed them up. Will try again later :(.
[G1 Apps and Games] htcmagic:
I have downloaded the enoch theme from market but i dont get the trasparent powercontrol widget like the market screenshot.
