Develop Bugs

Just wanted to know if themers

Have gotten their hands on dxtop. What obstacles and new challenges might it posses?

this is very interesting, good find.
I never heard of this before. This will allow me to build a digital clock widget to give my fadetoblue theme more of a TouchFlo3d look. Thanks!

Thats sick works well but if you have a theme installed it wont read the launcher from the theme so the stuff in the Luncher.apk from the theme wont show up clock,google search bar and stuff like that. Great idea and if themes can be installed with this its going to be bad a$$.

just bought it
Lovin it!
One of the best apps so far!

if you download the apk couldnt you just replace and theme the elements in that and upload it? or is that not something that could be done? i understand that you couldnt redistibute it, but for your personal use no? i opened it up and it looks similar to the launcher...just a thought

That was my understanding. In fact, didn't you do this to the demo version randumaccess?

well it would be easier if the developer got together with Jesusfreke and make it into a big update and incorporated the app as the home screen for a small donation type thing? I would pay again for a update like that then the sky is the limit with themes for this.
yeah i updated the elements like in the normal launcher by the way and resigned the whole app. people would have to know how to put the elements in the app themselves after purchase... not for amateurs. would like to see someone pull off some way to do it easily though.

so randum, does that mean you already have a theme for it?

that means i can do it, and i am working on one as soon as we figure out how to do it without pirating the app, it will be released.

Randum, you the man. I don't think baron would mind. Just ask him.

And as far as pirating the app, thats gonna be hard. Its not the actual update.zip your modding, its his apk which could prove to be troublesome. Maybe there's a way to get everyone together who has purchased it & they can share the themed versions??? Just an idea

How do you sign the .apk after you edit it doesn't work with the .apk resign tool.

well i signed the demo with no problem, but i am having a problem with the paid version... cant seem to sign it correctly

there should be a meta.inf file in it that you need to remove to resign it so it takes the test keys. Why not just send baron a pm and talk to him? One idea would be to give him the themes to release through his website.

I asked him about whats been talked about here this is what he said.
Quote:
My first implementation of themes will be to look on the sdcard for the assets in the same directory structure and filename that they are found in the dxtop.apk.
Something like this: /sdcard/dxtop/theme/res/drawable/clock_dial.png
or
Something like this: /sdcard/dxtop/theme/res/drawable-land/tray_handle_normal.png
Then i asked him this,i hope it could be done.

O.k i got you so this would solve the problem i love this app bro very cutting edge,hey i have another Q: off topic if you can make your app look for those folders could a app to install themes be created using this format you have come up with or maybe even have it install a whole update.zip?.
If this can be done my whole world will change.
Original Thread: http://dxtop.wikidot.com/forum/t-135037/help-theme-creators

I would love it if we could change themes without having reflash everytime.

He said he going to try to make that happen but he needs to work on it more.

thank
can you guide me where in post thread i can find it. i cant still find it. thank you for your effort.

I have some time left. I can do a search for you.
Panels
Applications you'll find anywhere in there. An other solution would be to Google.
About fonts I don't really know. There are a couple of threads regarding fonts but there is no "Official Font Thread" where everyone is sharing their fonts. I also don't know if you know how to install new fonts etc. Maybe you'll have to google that too.

Let's talk about fonts. FlipFonts!

Hello everyone. It seems that I can't see any other thread with this topic in my searches so I'm starting a new one.
FlipFonts are built-in to our Samsung Galaxy S's and they're quite nice. What are your thoughts on them, and do you have a favourite one?
My favourites are Dave Gibbons and Soho Gothic. I wish there were free fonts, or better yet, a way to use OpenType/TrueType fonts.
UPDATE /// Create Your Own Flipfonts!

I present you with two threads. The first is my How-To thread with everything you need to start making FlipFonts. First time will probably take you about 20 minutes, After you get use to the steps you can make one in 5 minutes.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745345
The next thread is the Vibrants Master List of user created FlipFonts. All that I ask is that you post your flipfonts in this thread so that they are all located in one location. We have been trying to keep the fonts in the first few posts with links that allow for download in the XDA tapatalk app.

Thanks a bunch to Ritalin for this. Hopefully a lot of people will join in making more FlipFonts available.

agree, i've been pondering about that as well, there should be a way to convert/import regular TrueType fonts into our phones

I've seen other fonts being and installed by users, but am I right in thinking that you need your phone rooted to be able to use them properly?

Check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735148 u have to be rooted, but its working with truetype fonts.

the official route is to buy them from Market then
Settings => Display => Font Style
I do like the Helvetica Nueue and Frutiger but none of the flipfonts I've tried seem to include a bold weighting (important for me when seeing what email is unread, also the time in status panel should be bold etc).
Droid Sans (the default) is pretty cool though anyway.

It's a pity no one's figured out how to package them in an apk for installation by non-root users. All good stuff though.

My favorites are Helvetica Neue and Soho Gotic (my #1 favorite), though some applications look a bit ugly when using other fonts than Droid Sans.

Are you guys serious... I created a method for making your own FlipFonts and posted it in every Galaxy S variant forum on XDA, Im a Vibrant user. Hell my howto was even posted on AdroidSpin last week.

Dude, I'd give you 3 stars and a pint of your favourite drink for sharing this with us.
--- EDIT ---
Already created my first FlipFont! I'll be posting it in that thread. Off to create screenshots now. It didn't come out as good as I wanted, it looks a bit too small, but hey.

No problems... I'm glad so many people have found the how to useful.
If you want to check your font size before making the apk double click on any of the capital letter glyphs after you do the paste special. This will open up the edit window for that glyph. You should see the original guides for android fonts listed there. Use the cap height and other to see if the new characters are too small or too big.

did something happen to the font thread?

yes, why are the fonts missing?

Wondering too.I created some flipfonts.now where to post?maybe I'm allowed to share them here again.

post to keep this thread up or shall I start a new one with a collection of all flipfonts/my flipfonts?

Thanks for the tutorial.
Soon, i'm converting the fonts on my PC to my SGS!

I know. I tried a lot of things. And till now its almost impossible to get the apk. I'm searching for days, and with no result so far. I realy want the cyman mark 2 apk for my LG optimus black. but it keeps saying that my device is not compiteble. I tried the google chrome extension(doesn't work with that app). I tried to modify my phone so google play can see my phone like its compiteble, but that won't work either. Somebody have any ideas the get the apk?

Hey could you give me a link how to make google play think my phone is compatible? I'd really like that even if it doesn't work for this app ^^.
Btw i asked the developper to send me the apk (thx it's free, we never know xD). I'll keep you in touch world .
Edit:
Ladies and Gentlemen, no answer from dev but there it is!

[Facer] Repo of watch faces

Looks like someone beat me to the punch. If you create faces, you should upload them here as well. This was just created a few days ago, so it will keep growing.

Hey, I'm the one who created the site. I just happened to see xda in the referrer, so I thought I'd see where the traffic was coming from. Thanks for the mention.
If you guys have any suggestions, please let me know. I'm still working on implementing some new features and cleaning up some minor bugs.

I'm the owner of FaceRepo. Please let me know which designs you're referring to. I really don't appreciate people uploading stolen content.
If you are able to contact (or put me in contact with) the original designer I'll gladly remove the faces or edit the description to give them credit, whichever they wish.

Just for the record, I don't grant anyone permission to host any of my work on websites other than my own. Thanks for the cooperation.

Trouble with faces
I have tried to download multiple watch faces and the zip files will not import into facer? Am I doing something wrong?

Known issue with Facer? See this on Reddit: /r/moto360/comments/2gw0h0/i_created_a_site_to_share_watch_faces_xpost/cko1in3 (sorry, I can't post a full link because I'm new on the forum). If this is the same issue, it looks like /u/fodawin (the developer of Facer) is aware and working on it.

I've removed the face and will notify the person who uploaded it. You said this one "as well". Was there another you mentioned that I missed? Please let me know if you find more.

Extract the Zips. If you find a .face file inside then go into Facer and select the import button. If you fine a folder inside the zipped file then drag it along with all of its contents to the sdcard/facer directory and then they'll show up in the app.

FYI, I just pushed an update to the site with a decent amount of changes, including classification by face type (round vs. square) so you can go straight to the faces for your watch.
I'm also maintaining a running change log on my Reddit post, here: /r/androidwatchfaces/comments/2gvz92/discussion_i_created_a_site_to_share_watch_faces/ (sorry, I can't post the actual link - I'm still a newbie in the forum).

See the help page on the site. Should explain how to get Facer to import the face.
Apparently, there is also an issue with the packaging of some faces when exported from Facer that the developer is working on fixing. /u/fodawin (the developer of Facer) posted this on Reddit a couple days ago in response to a user that was having problems... "Depending on how the watchface was packaged (for pre 0.90) it may not extract everything properly."
Also, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55581280&postcount=12 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55582960&postcount=13
Let me know if you are still having problems and I'll try to help.

Quick update... Just pushed out the ability to edit/delete faces you've uploaded, along with a few other minor changes. The ability to edit/delete was a much requested feature. Thanks for your patience. Enjoy!
