[THEME HELP] - Changing handcent icon

So i pulled the apk from data/app.
Replaced the icon inside like usual
Put it back to data/app. And it goes missing from the app drawer.
Tried putting it in system/app, and it says Handcent has stopped working.
Something im missing?

Non system apps have to installed, not just pushed. Delete your old one first our you'll get a parse error.

So grab the apk, change the icons, uninstall handcent, push hte apk, INSTALL that new apk from data/app?

Yep. if all your doing is changing icons, why not use nova launcher and do it with no hassles?

Cant get this **** to work at all....
copied the com.handcent....apk file to my pc. Changed the icon.
uninstalled handcent from my phone
Transferred over the com.handcent....apk from pc to /data/app
Ran the apk and installed it, says Application not installed when i try to install it.

Thank you, heres the two icons i want thrown in, theyre both in the drawable-hdpi folder. Thanks. Ones the main icon for the apk. The icon_pink is to overwrite the pink notification choice u can choice as a icon in the app settings.

Does nova change the app drawer icons? If so,how?
I thought it could only change home screen icons

Nova doesn't do app drawer icons, only homescreen. They do keep even after an update though. For OP, there is something odd about this app. Even just decompiling/recompiling with no changes, and the app closes immediately after startup. No errors or anything, and logcat returns no errors. My only advice is to use Nova Launcher- you will not lose one bit of functionaloty or appearance (exactly like stock) and will gain a ton of features.

Did you remember to sign the apk before pushing it?

Widgetsoid2 widgets - very configurable, use background from your gallery for contacts.
Gasks - nice scrollable one for agenda and tasks.
N7 Player
Any Go Launcher shortcut - replace with any png image.

Excellent, thanks!
Does anyone know if there is a Whatsapp widget for counting unread messages?

I use HD Widgets for time and weather. I have the paid version. Not sure what the free one is like.

I use GO Launcher and GO Notifications for unread count. You have to search for the Go Notifications apk since the Play store says not compatible. I can confirm it works with Gmail and K9.

I have downloaded and installed the apk but I can find no sign of it anywhere. Could you tell me where to look for it? Thanks!
Edit: What I mean is that I don't get the option to open the file after install. Where did you find your apk?

I'm kind of partial to the widgets below:
Weathereye (having issues at the moment): http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.citc.weather&feature=nav_result#
Minimalistic Text: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.devmil.minimaltext&feature=search_result#
Flipboard: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flipboard.app&feature=search_result#
Power toggles: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc&feature=search_result#
Simple Calendar: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anod.calendar&feature=search_result#
If you want to see what it looks like check the post your home screen thread here.

UCCW - most customizable clock/weather/whatever widget available, check XDA main Themes forum for UCCW thread with 100s of themes
Minimal Reader - for news
Jorte - for Calendar
I use AOKP so no need for power toggles since they are in the dropdown...

Beautiful widgets has a nice selection of weather widgets.

You talkin' to me? GO notify is part of the GO app. If you hit settings and scroll to the right, you'll see notifications (after you installed the apk), click it and lets you set notifications for various things. It's not an app or widget, but does show up in system apps list.

If only they would fix the dynamic sizing option in their 4x1 weather. Using it at the moment until weathereye gets sorted. /rant

Another vote for power toggles here. Works well with the default theme (appearance wise)

Transparent News and Weater for JB, LIB

I found these on the note area .... I am not the developper
I tested on latest JB Turkbay 12 LIB and they work perfectly. I do not see any reason why they should not work on any LIB ROM
You need to copy the APK app on system/app as usual and reboot DO NOT INSTALL as application.
These apps will NOT replace any default S3 app.
ALL WIDGETS ARE TRANSPARENT
1) Genie News and weater widgets (3 types, news, weather, news+weather) all 4x1 geniewidget.apk
2) Weather old style (no clock) widget RESIZABLE !!!!! 4x2, 2x2, 1x1 AccuWeatherDaemonService.apk + SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk compressed in the file Weather.zip
I hope you like

Nobody interested ?????

Thnx.
Downloading to test....

1) The widgets should work on any ROM... but you will know only trying. The good point is that because these widgets do non overwrite anything you can put it on your system/app folder, try and see if you like (remember to reboot ), if you do not like you can just remove them and that is it ..... no danger
2) I do not know what you removed. The weather widget are the old version of weater widget not including the time
They need the weatherdeamon.apk (in system/app) to be updated but can be installed at the same time with the new version (that has the time)

Thank you so much sir I will definitely try out your awesome work! However, my phone bloatwares have been remove and hence I don't not have the AccuWeather widget
Will this affect my anything in my phone and can I still try out this widget??

How to install uzip files for widgets?

The Nexus 7 is my first Android device and I am floored by how amazing and easy it is to customize it. I found a really nice clock widget and a Google Search widget I like on these forums. I downloaded both and they are in .uzip formats. What is the best way to get them onto the device to install them?

You should be able to import it directly from the app. Also check out the zipper widget app.

I got the clock working with UCCW. So, that's good now. But I have a Google Search Bar that is in .uzip format. But, I'm not sure which app I use for that.

It works fine for the clock. But, for the search bar it doesn't actually function like the clock does
I wish I could link to it so you know what I'm talking about. I need 10 posts.

can you describe what's not working? does uccw give you an error or does it load?

After installing some other uzips I've noticed uccw isn't exclusively for clocks. But its a Google search uzip but when I click it, it opens uccw instead of allowing me to search

Note 4 Weather

For TouchWiz Launcher ONLY
1) Clear the cache and data for both Unified Daemon and Weather
2) Uninstall both Unified Daemon and Weather
3) Copy and paste both Widget Daemon and Weather to system/app folder
4) Set permissions to rwx-rwx-rwx
5) Reboot phone

Only thing not working for me is theme tab.

Not working on Apex Launcher
I'm only able to use the widget on the TW launcher. When I try to use it on Apex Launcher it says "no more room on this screen." Is there a way to fix that?

It works on Nova Launcher though, I'm gonna try to figure it out.

It works for me, the only problem is gps location is not accurate, u have to setup manually and some of the cities is not available i guess since it isn't official yet..

Keeps crashing
I installed the widget and app and everything works; however, if I touch the widget it says that the widget closed and I have to restart it. Any suggestions.

Anyone know where I can get a USA version?
