[Q] themer beta on nook. Is it possible? alternatives? - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm new to the androidverse (bought a nook hd 8gb on black friday, $79.00 woot!) I came across an app called themer beta, but google play sez it's not compatible with my nook (this version is incompatible). I've modified my nook by using a Carbon rom (many thanx to leapinar). I'm interested in themer because it's touted as rainmeter for android (love rainmeter on my desktop & laptop). Is there anyway to find out why themer is incompatible and bypass or fix the incompatibilty? Also, are there any alternatives to themer that will work on the nook hd?
Many thanx

I have it, and did a restore from Titanium. It will install, but it doesnt give any ability to see, or download any additional themes. Based on the app info on Playstore, it's designed for phones, not tablets

I concur and did the same thing. Restored from TB and while it installed fine I didn't have any options to download themes as none are designed for this resolution and Dpi combo. Maybe someday

LP Sense UI

http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.allomods.lpsense
This is launcherpro plus, but made by someone else. Don't really get how that is since lpp is paid app and this is free. anyway, the widgets are completely revamped to look just like sense. I actually think this is runs smoother then lpp. The Dock is just like sense as well and can be customized. Unlike using a custom dock, this dock gives highlighted buttons when pushed

yeah i linked it in my sense theme thread....u only get the widgets if you have the unlock code by having the paid version...otherwise just the launcher
The widgets actually work for me and I haven't purchased LPP yet. Weird.
That I'm pretty sure is a feature of the pro version so regardless of theme or modification its still warez. This version didn't require my activation code. That's a no go.

When you select a lock theme there is an option below to include the wallpaper or not. You can unselect it if you want your default homescreen wallpaper.
Also note thats its only hdpi. Can someone port it to mdpi? I wonder why miui make it to hdpi devices knowing most hdpi device can use miui not with mdpi devices.

That's way cool. I can't thank you enough for this. Been missing these ever since I moved to CM7 (damn MIUI kept corrupting my sd during restarts)
Does it support widgets and apps on lockscreen?
Some themes work on my mdpi phone- the very first one and the wp7 default ones work... trying to find others now.
I can't seem to get any of the themes from the MIUI lockscreen thread on here to work, just goes to homescreen with a notification bar which doesn't work.
Anyone else had better luck?

[THEME] [CM9/10/AOKP] [XHDPI/HDPI/MDPI] Eight.... A Windows 8 Inspiration

This is a Windows 8 Theme for Android (CyanogenMod9/10/10.1/AOKP) Theme Chooser. NOW COMPATIBLE WITH XTHEME ENGINE
Should work with any Android 4.0.3+ Theme Chooser enabled device.
I don't guarantee that it will display correctly, so that is why I decided to make the thread and get all or most of the issues fixed before releasing a paid/donate version in the Play Store. I would also like to receive your feedback/suggestions on how to make it better in your opinion.
Instructions:
Go to the Theme Chooser application or within Settings select Theme Chooser
Select "Eight"
Hit apply, and ignore the error message and press apply anyway.
Reboot your device!
Viola!

Yeah much better. Now Gmail and Astro File Manager are usable again. They had black background before. Nice job! Go on! Can you change icons of wifi etc?
Little review after using for some minutes
Nice theme but still needs some more changed images. E.g. the notification drawer looks a bit odd with the black notifications on grey bg. Also the bottom bar should get white instead of blue when dragging down. Also dislike the black calendar, (which crashes btw everytime about 3sec after launch) but that's just me.
Apart from that, it seems like a really solid base for an awesome theme! Just try to get the Android look fully away for the Metro look. At the time
it is a mashup of both. I would gladly buy it for some bucks if it gets better and better.
Cheers

Thanks for the feedback. I also thought of leaving the calendar white, like in my WP7 Revolution theme for CM9, but I know that most of the users like battery saving themes. For now I'll focus on the dark version since it is the hardest.
I wish I could work on it 24/7 but I have college to attend and to. Just bear with me please.

[Q] Anyone using Themer?

I just saw this newly developed app, Themer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycolorscreen.themer&hl=en
Is anyone using it? How does it work? I guess the easiest solution is just to install it. But the waiting list is so long. I want to know if this app can install a homescreen theme without purchasing the apps that the original designers used. Thanks.
Looks like you can do the same stuff with exposed framework
Sent on my Moto X
yeah. I am using it. waiting for more themes. I check it every couple of days to see if I like any of them.
I'm not 100% sure what will happen if you get a theme that used widgets you don't have. The themes that come preinstalled use Themer widgets that come with the launcher so they work out of the box on any phone. One of the widgets is very powerful like uccw.
Sent from my Moto X.
Well, the waiting period was shortened. With this code "MSTRCD" I was able to use Themer...after five minutes, I decided to uninstall it for such reasons as: 1, not really customizable after I applied a theme. For instance, I cannot resize a widget. 2, There is no simple way to switch a default app if I change my mind later.
Themer indeed can do multiple homescreens. But again, it is hard to Create anything new.
So far, the major downside of Buzz is it consumes more rams than Themer.
If you are interested in using it now, I got the code from here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/10/10/grab-this-themer-beta-invite-code-good-for-40000-uses-and-help-mycolorscreen-test-its-beefed-up-servers/
freeintruth said:
I guess I am just trying to see the main difference between Themer and Buzz launcher. With Buzz, for the widgets to work, which I do not already have, I need to download them. Some recent screens on mycolorscreen require Zooper Widget that costs $2...and Buzz cannot yet do the overlapping widgets. I wonder Themer can actually solve all of them together and remain to be free.
Oh, forgot to ask one more question: the biggest thing with Buzz, for me at least, is to be able to have multiple wallpapers. Can Themer do various homescreens in case I like three or four screens?
Thanks guys for the input.

I bet most people that build themes will use the included widgets and other built-in features. You can have as many pages you want and can have different wallpapers for each of them. Have a look at this video about how to theme with Themer...

I've had it for about a week and I like it. Like said above , it needs more themes but that will most likely not be a problem when it is out of beta. And to the post above it is actually still very customizable. More that the stock launcher but not as much as something like nova. I am impressed by it and can't wait to see what they bring in the future.

Got a free code for Themer: TJMUH7. Enjoy
I tried it, but concluded that Themer is basically for the less experienced and the lazy users. The biggest problem with it is that it requires you to set it as your default launcher, which means that you lose all the useful features of nova launcher or whatever custom launcher you had before. No matter how simple it is to switch themes, the launcher is too important to the overall android experience to replace it.
With that said, if you take the time, you can port whatever full theme you like from mycolorscreen.com using the appropriate apps and get proper theming without replacing your launcher. Personally, themes are not a big deal because I feel like I will get bored of it very quickly. So I just stick with changing the wallpaper once a week and call it day.
Its a pretty cool app that makes theming your phone really easy by just selecting the theme, downloading it, then apply. It's kind of like the MIUI theme app but I think that was for just lock screens. There was a couple really neat themes I liked, I just couldnt sacrifice all of my nova launcher settings for this launcher. Plus having quick access to my most frequently used apps on the desktop was a must.

I agree. Why not make your own? There are some really nice features. The themer everything widget just like uccw but imo better implemented. You can easily, without another app, set different wallpapers for each page. I'm pretty optimistic that it will turn into a great launcher, possibly better than the competition.

I specifically like the theme "Now" and turned the background black. Download something close to what you like and then head to the latrine for a deuce. You will leave with something you can work with.

They just removed this from the voting yesterday, maybe they are adding this in soon?
I ultimately stopped using themer for the time being due to lack of functionality with G+ and Hangouts. I really like the unread SMS and Email counter that you can add (like I did with my modified "Now" theme), but something similar should/could be added for G+, Hangouts and surely other things that people use (voice, skype, IRC...)
BTW, I have nothing to do with this app. I'm fighting my hardest to stay stock/unrooted with my Moto X and themer is pretty nice helper when I start to get bored.
