1. Unzip this attachment and replace the original src folder inside your workspace
2. Open Eclipse -> And select your project with project explorer -> Hit F5 to refresh.
3.According to the turotial
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Modify the app packagename and path (under \src\x.x.x & \gen\x.x.x, you should change it from x.x.x to your.package.name)
o On eclipse, look into your project explorer\package explorer, rightclick the x.x.x package and select "Refactor->Rename..." and follow the instructions.
o To open the package explorer window (if not already open) Click Window > Show View > Package explorer

I think this will work for the Java error.

Thanks a lot, it worked for the java error.
But, there's another error in res/values/icon_pack.xml . When I copy the lines to enable the icon pack, it's getting the error: "The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed."
Do you know what's the problem?

If u name ur docks provider right as the tutorial says then if u ad ur image to drawable hdpi like name it my_dock
In ur dock_pack xml. Do the <item>my_dock<item>
And when u reload u should have it in ur dock background under custom ur theme I think lol just started myself and just fixed that problem

Help with Go Launcher EX Theme Creator

Im trying to create a couple Go Launcher themes using the Theme creator Beta. I have all my environment variables set up correctly, I can run the editor. My problem is that when I try to add a custom image the editor wont allow me to finalize my selection and actually add it into the theme. Also, I can't export the theme into a .apk ...
I'm really not sure what exactly I'm doing wrong, and I'd love someone to help me out

[HOW TO] GO Launcher EX Theme Template

NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS THE THEME PROGRAM
This is a tutorial and download (salvaged from before the server crashed) of the GOLauncher EX Theme Template
With it you can create beautiful themes, with unlimited icons, for each package.
Now, here goes nothing:
1. Download the zip of the template here, and extract it
2. Open the english pdf and follow the instructions in there
3. Grab the icons you want, either from another theme or from your own sources
4. Give theme a good name (like gtalk for google talk) and resize them to a 72*72 png in Paint.NET
5. Go to /assets in the trunk_1.0ok folder and open appfilter.xml (I recommend Notepad++ for this)
6. Copy this into the file:
Code:
<!-- APP NAME (for your use) -->
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.quinny898.theme.miui/com.quinny898.theme.miui}" drawable="the png without the .png extension" />
7. a. Replace APP NAME with your own name, for your use to remember it, for example "N.O.V.A. 2"
b. Download LauncherPro to your phone from the market, but don't set it as default home. Create a shortcut on GOLauncher's desktop and select 'activites' (with LauncherPro icon). Wait for it to load and then find your app. Tap the name and lots of package name with activites will appear.
c. Replace the first com.whatever... with the app name, such as com.opera.browser
d. Replace the second com.whatever... (after /) with the package AND activity name, so it ends up as something like com.opera.browser.BrowserActivity
e. Do this for each activity name, until you end up with a list, under one <!-- -->, like this:
Code:
<!-- Asphalt 6 -->
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP.GLGame}"
drawable="asphalt6" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP.installer.GameInstaller}"
drawable="asphalt6" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP.MyVideoView}"
drawable="asphalt6" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP.GLiveMain}"
drawable="asphalt6" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP.IGPActivity}"
drawable="asphalt6" />
g. Replace all of the things inside the drawable ""s with the name of the image inside the /res/drawable-hdpi folder, but without the .png extension, so for example, if you had an icon name like asphalt6.png, it would be asphalt6
8. Go back to the trunk1.0_ok folder and right click in a blank space, whilst holding shift. Click Open command window here
9. Type makeall into the command prompt that appears and hit enter
10. Wait for it to finish
11. Take the _signed.apk fron the folder and put it on you phone's SD card
12. Install it using your favourite file manager
13. Apply it in GOLauncher EX
14. Hit the thanks button
Thanks for this tutorial,
I am using your other ECLIPSE Template, is way better and faster. Anyway, this is even more work than with Launcher Pro / ADW Launcher Themes.
I don't know how the biggest Icon Pack for Go Launcher is, but I searched some and some of them are only 700kb big and the biggest and most popular ones are 2MB big. So I would say they include around 100-200 Icons.
My Iconpack fro LauncherPro includes right now 1300 ICONS and I try to port it completely to Go Launcher. The good thing is that it won't be so big as on LauncherPro.
Started today and got 100 Icons, wow a lot of work. Will do some more tomorrow and maybe in a couple of days/weeks I can have all the Icons inside.
AND have not only the biggest LauncherPRO Icon Pack, but also the biggest Go Launcher Icon Theme
The/my iPhonious GoLauncher themes, have over 1400 icons, and 900+ of them theme from the drawer.
The theme also works with ADW, LP, CircleLauncher, DVR, and more.
if you guys look around, there are some serious resources that could help

Wrong APK Created
So I followed the instructions and it does create an APK, but when I install the name is "Theme Template Go Launcher". Also the icons that I imported don't show up - only the icons from the trunk1.0_ok\res\drawable-hdpi folder install. HELP!

Hi,
I'm getting a weird issue with the latest Go Launcher. When I apply my theme downloaded from play store (or even by sideloading it), the folders and the home button in the app drawer go missing. i.e. only folder labels show up, but not the folder icon. When I tap the folder label, they do open and show the themed icons. So, only the folder icons go missing.
Please see the attached screenshot to understand what I mean.
Could anyone please tell me what could be wrong in my theme build? Am I missing any PNG or some entry in any xml?

[guide][how to] TwWallpaperChooser.apk to add more wallpapers...[easy]

hello guys,
i m here to give u some information on how to add more wallpapers to the existing twwallpaper chooser.apk.............
it is very easy task & not require very high knowledge...........
tools required:-
1.) apktool/apkmultitool
2.) java runtime
3.) jpeg wallpaper images [u can get from google ]
4.) notepad++ [i prefered it for editing xml ]
5.) some knowledge about apktool /apkmultitool refer to my thread
guide:-
1.) decompile the twwallpaper.apk using apktool/apkmultitool........
2.)goto decompiled folder >res>drwable-mdpi
3.) add ur images to drawable-mdpi folder
u ve to add 2 images for each wallpaper
example --- abhi922.jpeg is the wallpaper & other is abhi922_small.jpeg
abhi922.jpeg should be a proper 640x480 image
abhi922_small.jpeg should be a proper 107x80 image
4.) goto values-mdpi folder
5.) open arrays.xml
it should look like this ----
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string-array name="wallpapers">
<item>wallpaper_default</item>
<item>wallpaper_17</item>
<item>wallpaper_18</item>
<item>wallpaper_desert</item>
</string-array>
</resources>
now we have to add a new item to this for a new wallpaper......
add " <item>abhi922</item> "
now it will look like this :-
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string-array name="wallpapers">
<item>abhi922</item>
<item>wallpaper_default</item>
<item>wallpaper_17</item>
<item>wallpaper_18</item>
<item>wallpaper_desert</item>
</string-array>
</resources>
tips:-
a) we have given it that name which we have assign to jpeg image......[ abhi922.jpeg]
b.) u can also add this line " <item>abhi922</item> " to any place as it will change order the of wallpapers in app......
6.) save this file.....
7.) compile again refer to my thread
8.) test & apply new wallpapers..
if u use this thread & make a new modded apk then give me credits​
hit thanxxxx button for me .......nothing else.........​
So simple so neat so comprehensive

best way to know that is extarct a wallpaper from your S5 SecWallpaperPicker.apk
then check its dimensions using any app from market or on windows photo viewer details..
then use that dimension to trim ur custom wallpapers...
also ---> u need to check that which folder contains ur wallpapers ... It will be like this --> drawable-sw***dp-**dpi
sw***dp can be any number like sw360dp or sw720dp or any other etc....
**dpi can be like xhdpi or xxhdpi or any other etc...
also ---> ur value folder will be different ... like --> value-xhdpi , value-xxhdpi or any other acc. to ur phone's display.

Hi guys,
I have done this for the S5.
Deleting the stock images and adding my own images. De compiled, added the new images, made the changes in the relevant .xml files, compiled and signed secwallpaperpicker.apk.
No errors when de compiling or compiling.
Added it to my rom zip, installed, but when I go to check from the wallpaper picker, I get "Unfortunately settings has stopped". When I go to install the secwallpaperpicker.apk file, it get message "App not installed" Permissions are correct.
Any devices please?

Hi abhi922,
Thanks for your reply - much appreciated.
I have actually done the same with signed and unsigned and still getting the same result.
I have extracted both framework-res and secwallpaperpicker.apk from the ROM zip, created framework files, decompiled the secwallpaperpicker.apk file, added a new image (wallpaper_12.png and wallpaper_12_small.jpg) to the image folder, updated the public.xml and strings.xml file, compiled the apk again without any errors. Did the following:
1. Signed and zipaligned
2. Unsigned and zipaligned
3. Signed
4 Unsigned
Copied the apk file back to the ROM zip using winrar (store), installed the ROM via Aroma installer. Everything fine till I go to settings --> Wallpaper --> home and lock screens. Getting error "Unfortunately, settings has stopped working. Getting error "app not installed" when trying to install the app manually from the external SD card (signed & unsigned). Trying to copy the apk file to \system\priv-apps using ES file manager, getting an error something about I don't have access and or folder is read only. Downloaded secwallpaperchooser.apk, added that to the ROM zip, then also getting the same errors/results.
Modified the alarm clock apk and it works fine.
Thanks and regards

[Tool] [Theme Creator] [CM/Avatar] Theme creator tool

This thread will no longer be active and the same has been moved to another thread from official avatarrom team.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303702
This is a beta release of Theme creator tool. It is a QT based desktop application to edit themes.
Themes created using this tool are compatible with Avatar ROM and Cyanogen ROM. Similarly you can edit both Avatar Themes and Cyanogen themes.
Download the theme apk and open it using the theme creator tool. You will see a screen to edit the resources. After editing the resources, save the apk and install on the device.
What you can do with this tool ?
1. There are 1000's of resources that can be themed in Android. We change only a small set of them and if you want to theme more resources you can use this tool.
2. We make some mistakes when creating a theme. Eg: SMS time stamp color was not proper in some of our themes. You can now use this tool to fix it.
3. We cannot satify all the users with a theme. Eg: If you want to have a darker orange shade in denim theme you can now do it using this tool.
4. You can import an existing theme, change some of the resources we modified and you have a brand new theme.
Upcoming features:
1. Import MiUi mtz theme file and convert it to theme apk which is compatible with AvatarROM and CyanogenROM.
2. Upload your new themes to our server so it can be used by other AvatarROM users.
3. Html5 based new theme creator tool which is more elegant and user friendly.
If you create a new theme and want to upload to our server, send us a PM and we will give access for you to upload the theme.

Linux-x86

Also find the Wiki Page which explains different options on the tool and gives a list of resources that can be edited using the same
Additional help
I am using the Avatar rom for quite some time now. Just tried the theme creator. I found some useful resources from the wiki. Adding more such resources will be useful. Also a feature to edit themes from the rom will be useful

I'd like to play with the tool, so I changed an existing theme and tried to install it through the "Install->On Avatar Device" option. Unfortunately, I get a "install_parse_failed_inconsistent_certificates" error for the modified theme. I'm not familiar with the certificate thing yet (I just know, that the .apk are signed), so what can I do?
Please uninstall the original theme from the device and try to install it again from the tool.
Alternatively you can change the package name while saving the theme using the tool.
The error is due to the original theme having a different signature than the test signature used by the tool.

That's what I actually did after some googleing (uninstall & reinstall), but wouldn't it be more userfriendly to let the tool do it (if possible)?

If it is a theme previously installed with the tool, it will automatically reinstall the same. But otherwise the tool won't uninstall the themes.
Does anyone know by chance, if the app drawer background of the bazooka launcher is an image? And if so, which one is it? Or is it just a matter of settings (which I didn't find yet)?
I already modified a theme and I'd like to have a (semi) transparent app drawer background...
How do I add more apps? I would like to theme Chrome etc.

I don't think the app drawer background is themable in Bazooka launcher. There is a setting "Transparent mode" (in Menu->Bazooka Settings->General) to make the background transparent.

We will definitely add more apps going forward.
But if you know the application package and the resources that needs to be themed,
you can add them to the tool by editing/adding some xml files in <path_where_tool_is_installed>/Packages folder.
For example to add chrome
Add a new entry in index.xml
Code:
<Application name="Chrome" AppPackage="com.android.chrome" AppXml="com_android_chrome"/>
Also needs to add a new xml com_android_chrome.xml in the same folder with contents
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<Application name="com_android_chrome">
<Page name="Drawables">
<item name="icon" type="drawable">
<BackendInfo ActivityName="icon"/>
</item>
<item name="app_icon" type="drawable">
<BackendInfo ActivityName="app_icon"/>
</item>
</Page>
</Application>
On next launch, the tool will show Chrome entry in the Applications menu and you can modify the icon images using the same

Unfortunately no, but there is a long method by which you can use some stuff from the theme you want to use as base. The steps are:
1) Extract every qmg file from each apk within a theme and rename the extracted apks to zip.
2) using command prompt run the following command:
Code:
ren *.qmg *.png
it will auto change the extension from qmg to png.
3) Transfer the pngs to mobile phone and look at the images you want to use
4) create your theme and individually replace the qmg which you identified from pngs with the base themes qmg. That's it.
I know its a tiresome task
nice:good: i made my first theme
Thanks, this is something..

First, thank you for posting this tool.
I'm still old skool in terms of theming, hard coding the system and adding/changing images to my preference.
It seems the the overlay themes are the direction it been headed for sometime so if the tool is easy enough and less time consuming, I suppose I could switch, plus the compatibility for many more devices and users is quite nice!
As far as converting/viewing qmg images install this to your phone and within the app select the apk of which you wish to view the qmg images and bam! It's all done, converted to png's viewable on pc and everything!
Anyways, thanks again!

I also found out one more way as this alp was not working for me on s7. Further, the above mentioned method is not working as the tool requires you to sign the apk with a certificate which you create with this tool itself and changing the files i think damages the signature. Nevertheless the 2nd way is to rename the qmg files to png. Transfer them to phone and then through the phone edit them. Add a small difference so that you can save it. Once you do, it will save it in png format.

No install a package disabler and then disable theme service and center and then clear its data
