Custom home screen

Hello
Can anybody point me in the direction of making my own homescreen? I am a C++/C/C#/Php/Html/Js/Perl/Sql developer, so programming is not an issue. But a nice guide or something, or a starting point i can use to start playing around will be helpful. All the homescreens I have used fall short of what I want...
Thanks in advance...

Do you need a custom layout or different items in the view? Basically the layout is in a little XML file where as the items are handled through plugins.
Maybe check out the homescreen example here:

Good luck with the development

ooooh, COM... fun.....
Anyway, thanks for the link

[Q] Default Email THEME?

Hi there,
I've been a Note2 user since it first came out.
One thing that had been an ongoing annoyance is that there are no options to change the theme of EMAIL client - black background with white/blue/grey words on the email overview page. This default view is not very visible under day light use to be precise, i often have to cover my hand over the screen to make shadows so i can see it, and its not even a very bright day light.
Does anyone have any suggestions to improve this?
Any mods to make this better?

if your device is rooted, and you are used to edit files with root explorer or other just add this line to other.xml in system/CSC
<CscFeature_Email_UseFixedBgColorAsWhite>TRUE</CscFeature_Email_UseFixedBgColorAsWhite>
Read this for more detail

[Help Needed] GMT in Zooper?

Hello Eveyone,
I downloaded Zooper on Friday and have been playing with it, learning it, reading the forums about it and killing a LOT of time with it LOL! I have learned a lot, and am ploughing through making my own theme for the first time. I have found most of the answers to my questions on here except the main one I need help with:
I want GMT displayed on my home page, not just the differential that's included in #Dz#. I've tried everything I could think of for it, including using the math operators to take local time and add or subtract the value of #DZ# using if then statements but nothing is working. I'm a pilot and that would be a handy value to show on the home screen for us frequent time zone crossers.
Can anyone help me with this please? Seems easy enough but I am obviously missing something. Any help woould be appreciated.
I am a retired Navy fighter pilot, currently living and working in Jakarta, Indonesia as a pilot training captain. Look forward to seeing all of you in here and if any of you live or wander close by, be sure to hit me up!
Cheers,
Wayne "Kila" Watts

Zooper: How to display zulu time for pilots
KilaWatts, It's been awhile since you posted this, but here is your solution. I also wanted to display this on my zooper widget, and I figured it out! Even though it's posted late, I thought that it might benefit other pilots like us as well. Rob
$(#DHHmm#-#DZ#)$Z will display zulu time (eg. 1543Z)

Correction
I just realized that I was wrong, please disregard my previous post. The correct way to do it is to go to "Override Widget Locality" for the specific module. Then touch the "+" button. Type in the name of the city that you are in, and for the time zone scroll down and select "Etc/Zulu". The code that you need to enter manually is: #DHH#:#Dmm#z

Thank you!
Rob,
Thanks for both posts.....I appreciate the effort even if it's wrong mate. I understand the second way, however, that seems to just do it manually, and not automatically once I land in another time zone, like the time gets updated. Maybe I'm wrong and if I do it once, where I live now, it will update by itself when the phone comes on and I'm in a different time zone?
Thanks in advance and hope that's not a stupid question LOL! Caught me a bit off guard with an answer finally! My UI is all set up, sans this of course. I'll play with what you suggested and see and maybe you can answer my question in the meantime.....
Cheers buddy and thanks again! :fingers-crossed:

I wanted to display GMT that will auto correct when my time zone goes through a time change (-5 to -6). The closest I got was the following conditional. I hope this helps
$(#DH#-(#DZ#/100))$:#Dmm#
This uses your phone's local time and then factors in DZ.
Thanks!

[Q] Time elapsed help

Hi everyone,
How would I show a continuous day counter?
So say I want to show how many days have passed since a certain start day until today, then of course it will add a day to the total each new day.
I'm new to Zooper so any help is welcome.
Thanks in advance
Lee

This can be done via Zoopers Free Date format. Here is the general format for it:
Code:
#D<year><month><day><hours><minutes>T<formatstring>#
This works for past as well as future dates. If for example you want to count the days since last christmas, you would write the following:
Code:
#D201312240000Td#
For more information on the available format options, see the official reference page: http://zooper.themerapp.com/support/solutions/articles/158068-date-format
Hope this helps you out

That's brilliant. Thanks a million

[Q] Can these be done in Zooper?

Peeps
Been searching via google for these but no luck so far finding an answer. Here is what I am trying to figure out.
1. Is it possible to display the active tasker profile in Zooper? In know there is some functionality with tasker and Zooper but not got enough knowledge of it.
2. Is it possible to link my Google + profile picture to Zooper so it shows up on widget.
3. Is it possible to display the mah of the current charging the device. Much like Gsam battery monitor does.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Chris

Anyone have any pointers?

1) The Tasker variable %PACTIVE displays a comma separated list of all currently active profiles so it's just a matter of passing that list to a zooper variable.
2) Not that I know of.
3) No. You might be able to put something together using Tasker, maybe.

Awesome. Might give this a try. Thanks

Wrong thread

Time of all day events is 00-00 but Zooper. Eg. Today is 11 of June and I have all day event on 12-th of June, and I'm using +#C0STd# to show days left till next event, so that event is shown as +0 instead of +1. How can I fix it?

Here's what I did in Tasker and Zooper.
See the attached, you will need to rename the .txt to . prf for tasker and .zw i think for Zooper.
