Go Launcher Icon Effects - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

Not sure if anyone has the same problem but i can't seem to figuire this one out.
I apologise if this has been talked about before, But have searched extensively without luck.
The problem is that when i go to change the App drawer Icon effect, The option is completely shaded out and I'm not allowed to pick one.
I reinstalled it but that didn't change anything.
Anyone know of this issue and have a solution!
Thanks in advance!

Im using GO Launcher EX and it works fine for me.
What effect is it currently stuck on?
Did the launcher come with a Custom ROM? or have you installed it yourself on a standard ROM?

Installed it myself but I'm using a custom rom aswell(VillainRom 2.4.2) and it's not just stuck on the default one.
Not sure why Im not able to pick a different one.

Heh - I had this problem myself. It only works with horizontal scrolling

[Q] Weather/clock widget woes!!

Hi everyone!
I'm having a problem with all the DHD ports, I've tried as of late and really need my help before this phone gets thrown at the wall!
The weather/clock widget doesn't seem to stick to my home screen anymore!
Meaning: that every time I reboot my phone, I have to reinstall the damned thing!!
If anyone has a clue, please post below!
Thanks
Bump for the morning crew!
All DHD Ports? I am using the latest InsertCoin, and do not have the problem. Did not have this while on RCMixHD 3.0, too.

Thank you very much for answering.
Am also using the latest Insertcoin since yesterday and the same thing happens.
D2Ext or A2SD+? I do not have this promlem on A2SD+.
Also try taking of the battery for 10 secs and try after that.
Also can be a possible conflict with other widgets.

I'll try the battery idea but what other widgets could it be conflicting with?
Just pulled the battery and it didn't change anything!

Hmm, strange, other people said that after pulling the battery and re-booting they had missing the widget, so they had to add it again, but it was not gone after
Well, Custom widgets, like SIMI clock, desktop clock etc.

Any of those have animated weather like the stock HTC one or do I have to go with Beautiful Widgets?
Found this.
Still thinking about, why the default widget has the problem for you, but can't come to any solution.

LOL!!
I was just looking at that too!
I'll try it out and see!
Thanks buddy!
p.s. Let me know if you find a solution please!
Well, I settled on Fancy Widget which seems to be working very well.
FOUND THE ANSWER!
Went into the clock app, cleared data and it's all working now!!
Haha, wanted to post that, but just got home, so I'm late with the answer.
Anyways, good to hear, you managed to solve it

[Q] Desktop Visualizer

I'm hoping somebody can provide a little insight in regards to desktop visualizer. I'm looking for someone familiar with this app as I'm following the instructions line by line to create images as app shortcuts but everytime I try to do this, it says "Failed to create shortcut or widget".
I'm running MIUI on my Evo. I have tried using DV on top of launcher pro but I get the same error message. Could it be that DV is not compatible with MIUI???
It doesn't matter what size widget I try to create- 2x1, 4x2, 1x4... I first select an image (of the same size, of course), I select an action, and when I hit ok, it says "failed to create shortcut or widget".
Could someone PLEASE give me a little advice or personal insight here? Thanks everybody!!
I am running MIUI 1.3.5 and desktop visualizer works fine for me. It is compatible with MIUI, my guess is that it isn't working right with Launcher Pro for you. Try it with stock MIUI launcher and see if it works. Also, could possibly be the type of image file you are using.

I just tried it with launcher pro as a trouble shooting thing. Im running stock MIUI. I'm still on 1.1.28. I'm too lazy to reflash every week. The first version I flashed giving me a few issues so someone on xda told me to go with 1.1.28 as it hadn't given him any trouble. I assume you were still running DV then, yeah? Certainly that isn't it. And as far as the pics I'm using, they are icon packs straight out of xda.
I select which size I want to use out of the widget drawer, then click on the empty green rectangle, choose the image, then the action, then hit ok and boom- error message!! What am I missing???

That's odd, it is possible it is that version of Miui I guess, I didn't start using DS until this version of Miui. Any reason not to try out new Miui?
Nope, I suppose it is worth a try. Does 1.3.5 have the miui camera? Is it running pretty solid for you?
I'm not missing something, am I? Do I have to change something in settings? I just tried again with no luck. The only thing I can do is to open up the app from my homescreen and make a shortcut. For whatever reason, that works fine.
If there was some huge flaw with 1.1.28 not being compatible with DV, you would thing it would have been discussed. That's why I'm a little reluctant to think that is the problem. This is so damn frustrating!!!

Miui is running very solid for me, I switched to Tiamat Kernel and I am getting best battery life I have ever had too!
Good point you brought up though, miui cam is not available yet - hoping for it in the next couple of days. The camera still works great, just don't have front facing camera yet.
I agree that it seems odd that the rom version would be causing the issue, because you are right, I kind of doubt it is what is causing the problem. Wish I could be more help.
I got it to work. I downloaded the DVR image slice tool and when I select an image I go to add ons and select my pic through that. Weird, huh? But hey, it works. Thanks for your help though. I certainly appreciate the effort!

using custom icons?

Just trying to figure out how to use custom icon packs? and where to get them?
Ive never really done much in the way of customising my phone, and just installed Go launcher EX..
Managed to get a nice black and white thing going but obviously all the icons are the standard sgs2 ones. so what would be the easiest way to replace them?
Thanks for any help
Still learning myself, but check this thread in the Android Themes forum (not specific to the SGS2)
Hope that's what you're wanting...
thanks for that..
Didnt realize you had to alter each icon 1 at a time linking each 1 to the one you want it to replace though... was kinda hoping just to download a pack,, install it and it would auto replace all the relevant icons., heh

Stock dialer doesn't work properly on ANY rom

Hello.
The reason I posted this is because I want to know if anyone has an answer to this.
When I press a key on the stock dialer it doesn't have the fade effects like the calculator for example. I don't know why this dissapeared and it goes on on ANY rom.
It really isn't that important but if somebody can tell me why this happens.
Thanks!

No seriously, there is a damn animation, i can remember it from when i got my nexus in the first days and you can see on youtube videos posted.
It's like a mistery why it simply dissapeared.open calculator for example and you will see that when typing on numbers there's a soft fade in and out effect.

Downloading thanks man, look like thinkbridge rom that is my favorite and complete of all roms I've tested
Looks nice, thanks for asking a new ROM for E975.
I'm tempted to try this one and see if BT is working... or maybe I will wait for 4.3 version
Tested and my impression are:
- Some Chineseok stuff to be deleted;
- Problem with BT calls, no new, common to a lot of custom rom's (I has able to do it 1 or 2 times, but in most of times don't work)
- A couple kernel crash after a soft reboot after using "Icon Themer"

Icon Themer is a piece of ****. It broke 3 of the ROMs I've tried it on hahaha
Just use another launcher with an icon pack, much easier.

works perfectly with Stock ROM!
I have several launchers with icon pack But changing icons on drawer or home page it's not enough to me, I like to change the apk icon too!

Nothing special...
Instal Xposed Installer and Icon Themer;
Activate in modules the Icon Themer
Run Icon themer and used DCizonZ Icon pack
soft Reboot (and I do it everytime that the icon pack is updated)

Last time I tried I did exactly the same as you but I ended up in a bootloop. Maybe it was the icon pack..
The icon packs are in apk format?

Love this!
Hi together,
just want to say, I really LOVE this Mokee ROM so far.
I installed it on my e975 yesterday morning. And I did not see any bug so far.
Even BT incomming calls do work for me! Great.
Edit: I just saw that outgoing is the problem. Have not tested that. But this is not so important for me.
The best about changing over to an CM10.1 based rom is, that I finally got rid of this ugly
gray LG status bar. It looked so displaced with every kind of skin or setup.
I am happy!
THANKS A LOT, xtforevers an all the other devs - great work.

BT outgoing is working
Hello again,
I tried some outgoing calls with the handsfree in my car. Worked perfect. Really great rom.

Yesterday you tested with handsfree in your car too?
Can you confirm? I've written this in several threads, that apparently BT calls sometimes works (not only in MokeeROM ), but sadly not every time.
BT outgoing not reliable
Hello rimsilva,
you are absolutely right. It is working, but not always. If you don't hear something, you can switch to speakers an all is fine.
Not perfect, but I can live with that.
No matter, averall still a great rom.

Only that Bluetooth thing, but that seems on all roms and untill cm doesn't fix it it will be there.
Apart from this MoKee is surely one of the best roms we have for our e975.
It's fast and imo the smoothest rom in terms of scrolling. From the look its like CM with some more functions and it has Halo and Pie.
