[Q] Changing Icons, ran into some trouble.

Alright so I ran into some trouble while changing my Icons. When I change the phone.apk Icon it works. But when I change the contacts app icon it changes the phone apps icon to the contacts icon. I dont know why. Im relatively new at this sooo any help would be much appreciated. thanks!

Are you editing directly (i.e. using APK Edit) or you using something like BetterCut/LauncherPro/ADW? I've never tried editing the icons directly, but I have changed my icons on my homescreens using these apps and have never have any issue. If you want a different launcher, ADW/LP will make changing the icon simple, BetterCut can be used with Sense to achieve a similar effect

Ah I was editing directly.

Yea, I very much suggest using launcherpro, it's as easy as holding down your finger on the homescreen, selecting application and then choosing an app. When it opens the text editor, just click on the actual icon to change it. I keep a special folder called "My Icons" on my sd so it's always in my gallery for use.

Hey I had no clue launcher pro could do that, I've been using folder organizer for all that stuff. Now I have one less program installed taking up resources, thanks.

FYI LauncherPro/ADW cannot change the icons for folders, just for apps, you're still going to need Folder Organizer for changing folder icons
EDIT: At least the free versions can't

There are plenty of alternative launchers in the market. Feel free to use GOOGLE to search through.

yea i know, and am using go laucher ex for time being but its not the same thing. se home is fast, sleek and clean. if i could add folder to prevent the launcher getting too crowded, it would be the the perfect home launcher, for me at least
thanks for answering though

Not sure what you are exactly after but what I did is created a folder on home screen, move all my applications to that folder and drag the folder to the bottom bar of the phone....

You can add folders to the pulldown, but if you're talking about a folder appearing when you press the menu button then I'm not aware of any mods for that. Folder organiser app lets you create a customized shortcut to a folder if you're looking to do that. Not sure that's what you're looking for, tho.

cusom icon on ICS folder?

i know i can use smart shortcuts or folder organizer, but personally i prefer the layout and style of the ICS folder, but i'd like to be able to put a custom icon on them.
i've been desperately searching the market without any luck, so i was hoping maybe someone here would have some ideas.

I would start out by taking a look at systemui or the framework.

yeah but that will do EVERY folder. i want to be able to have one icon on one folder and another on another folder. not the same icon on every single folder.
For example, games folder has games icon, media folder has media icon.

Mmm that sounds pretty tricky, good luck with that one

i figured as much since i haven't been able to find anything. guess all i can do is wait for the folder organizer dev, or some other to update their apps to the ICS folders.

[Q] How to import widgets from Themer to Zooper Pro?

Greetings!
First I had Themer. Brilliant! But then I wanted to get my Nova Launcher-functions back (e.g. transparent statusbar for facebook- and other notifications), so I had to buy Zooper Pro. Now I don't get the widgets from my favorite Themer-Theme to Zooper Pro under Nova. :/ I don't find them anywhere in the list.
1. Trying to place a widget on Homescreen --> Overview -->"Themer Everything Widget" 1x1. Nothing happens (small, invisible, empty widget).
2. Trying to place a widget on Homescreen --> Overview -->"Themer Zooper Widget" 1x1. Transparent box with "Loading ZW ...". Nothing happens then.
3. Trying to place a widget on Homescreen --> Overview -->"Zooper Widget Pro" --> any size --> touch --> "SD-Card" --> nothing there.
So how do I get single widgets from Themer to Zooper Pro?
Another issue with my Galaxy S4: When moving back from KNOX the wallpaper is enlarged. How to solve that one?
Thanks for your help! :highfive:

I think the following should work: load the theme you want to copy the widgets from in Themer. Then open a file manager of your choice and go to
Code:
/sdcard/MyColorScreen/Themer/MyThemes/<somenumber>/widgetconfigs/
. There should be multiple folder in there depending on how many zooper widgets the theme uses. Go into each folder and copy any .zw. file you find to
Code:
/sdcard/ZooperWidget/Templates/
. Now you should be able to open them via the way you described in 3.
Oh and for future reference: please post either a new thread or in the Q&A thread and not both. This makes it harder to help you if answers get spread over both threads.

I tried. And I failed. There are no .zw-files in those folders. Path is correct. It's the "Hills"-Theme (not a number as a foldername). 8 Folders (numbered from 1 to 8). In each folder there are files like e.g. sw.theme, sw.theme.human, mcs_62679 and one thumb.png. But no .zw-files. :/ Using "Root browser".

Ok, then that was a fluke of me importing a locally exported Theme. Here is another thing you could try: Load the theme in Themer, unlock the widgets, long tap on them and select configure. In the edit window that opens select the save icon in the action bar, choose a name and save. Now it should be available in the sd card category in Zooper Pro.

Nope. Already tried that. I get no files showing up in the sdcard-category. Stays empty.

I think I found out what the problem is. The widgets made with Themer are called "Everything Widgets", the other ones (I now can find them in sd card category after saving) are Zooper Widgets with far more options when editing them (grey menu). So it seems that most of the preconfigured Themer-Theme-widgets are not compatible when importing those in Zooper Widget.

Ah ok, I thought you had already made sure that you were trying to export Zooper widgets, missing the obvious solution Yes, Themer supports two widget solutions. Everything Widget is the older variant before they bought and integrated Zooper. Naturally you can only import widgets based on Zooper in Zooper Pro

Okay, this sucks. :/ Is there a way to have the statusbar transparent while using Themer? This is just one reason why I wanted to go back to Nova Launcher. The other one is that I often was thrown back to the Nova Desktop (with then corrupted UCCW-Icons) while using Themer AND closing or coming back from one app. Even if Themer is set to standard launcher.

Since this is no longer a Zooper issue and I don't really use Themer that much, you are probably better off taking this to the Themer subforum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/themer/general . The people there should be in a better position to help you then me

Iconset not shown in gallery / zooper gallery

hey,
I've downloaded some icon sets, but they aren't shown in my normal gallery.
I also reinstalled 2 other gallery apps, but they still don't show any icon.
In Zooper I got the problem, by adding a bitmap:
I haven't the ability to choose an icon of an iconset, just from my gallery and things like that.
The downloaded iconsets aren't shown there...
I also tried to choose the icons manually, with a file browser, but I cannot find the right location, where the icon set is installed.
How can I fix this problem?
Thanks a lot in advantage.

Are the iconsets zipped and put in the correct folder? I've had to unzip iconsets on computer and rezip for them to work.

Question for clarification: are you talking about Zooper icon sets (for weather, battery, etc) or are you talking about system icon sets (for apps you have installed)?

Thanks for your reply,
I've just installed them from the play store. Like a normal app.
And I'm talking about the system icon sets

Those are only accessible from within Zooper if the icon pack supports the appropriate intent. There is however a tool with which you can extract the icons from the icon pack, so you can load them into Zooper: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redphx.themex
Remember though that if you extract icons from paid packs in this way, you can not share the Zooper templates.

thanks a lot, that's exactly what I was looking for!

Odd, for some reason when I install icons off of the playstore, I can see them in my Gallery. No idea as to why that would be, but it works for me. I'm on a GS3 running CM11 d2att. Maybe that has something to do with it.
