looks pretty friggin good to me man. Is there a .cab file you can put together for this?

Putting the final touches on it as we speak

OrganicM said:
I was able to get the TestUIPlugin to work and update in realtime. I used mortscript to get values from "weather watcher mobile", which is free. Currently, you run the script, it loads weather watcher, copies over the forecast data, updates the registry entries for testuiplugin, updates the plugin, and closes weather watcher in the background. It's not very elegant right now, because it uses mortscript. Maybe someone can write a standalone exe based on my work.
Here's what it looks like right now. Any ideas to improve the layout ?

I was wondering the same thing as Pudge. It may not look exactly like you've mapped it out in your head...but it looks pretty darn good to me. A .cab would be great, Organic.

One question... This won't somehow change our home layout to the CHome Slim, will it? I like my festively plump slider panels the way they are! lol I just want the weather .cab.

Haha! fesitvely flump? I thought i was the only one who used that term!

Hahaha Actually it WILL, because I wrote this for myself. Buuuuuut, I will make an original version as well

Hey OrganicM, It looks sick but if i could suggest something, then it would be the title, instead of making the "temperature" the title, why not make it My Weather or something along those lines and underneath it - you could make a line for the temperature, upto u - otherwise it looks amazing - Keep up the good work and post a .cab when ur done
Good Luck !

I know, that's what I wanted to do initially, but this damn TestUIPlugin, will NOT let me do two lines of text!! Only thing I could do, is append the current temperature at the end of the forecast blurb... But it wouldn't really make it stand out.

That would be awesome. Many thanks.

check the first post

About implementing it to any panels, slim or not...
Hi OrganicM!
Nice job you done with this app.
I took a look at your cab _setup.xml and I was wondering what needs to be changed to the Chome_320x240.cpr for the app to work, since I prefer my chubby panels and its icons and overall layout (just a matter of taste, you know).
Perhaps you could post a little step by step guide for the ones like me who want to implement it by hand, with the needed files in a single compressed file (zip, rar, your choice really, I've already got them from the cab ).
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.

If I'm not mistaken, I thought he intended to post the .cab for the "chubby panels" soon anyway. I am on the same page with you, Cassiano. I like my plump panels, but I'd like to install Organic's .cab too. I don't necessarily wanna change anything in my homescreen layout--aside from including the new weather panel.

Guys... read the first post.... There might be something there for ya.

Disregard my previous posts! I see you've laid everything out in the 1st post. Thanks man.

Is anyone else have trouble updating the city? I'm trying to get Seattle on here, but it won't find it by name, and if using the zip is keeps showing sunny Las Vagas... That sucks, mainly 'cause it nice there and not here... Thanks.

This thing is awesome. Just what I needed. However, is there a way to remove the photo and media pannel? I tried to edit the XML file but it doesn't change. Any ideas?
Thanks..

Just set the plugins as "disabled" right in the registry.
Updated first post again, this time I added a "last updated" time in the top right corner. This gets updated everytime the weather script runs, so you have an idea how recent the info is.

Alright...for some reason it won't allow my city to be displayed when setting up Weather Watcher. It'll take me to a blank IE screen. I made the change to my city in 'Options', like instructed. Then tried to open 'Update Weather'. It would take me back to the blank IE screen. On the homescreen--the weather sliding panel is blank and just has a sun in it. Is there something I'm not doing?

Are you sure you're spelling it correctly ? Mine finds it right away.

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

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.

need a developer

need a developer for windowsmobile

I can develop apps, but as a general rule of thumb, simply saying you need a dev is not going to get you many responses...
Please, be specific as to what you want done so that you can get Dev's that can actually do what you want!
Anywho, what is it that you want? Maybe I can do it...

Give us lots more information so we can help. I understand you may want to keep it to yourself, but you won't get much help if you do. It's difficult to answer a question that has little detail.

It sounds to me like he's trying to develop an app and has some problems, so I'd imagine he does know what he wants. Sounds like he just doesn't want someone pinching his idea.

ya just dont want knowbody to take my idea and use it for themselve and ya i know what i doing and what i want all have is 3 problems with my app/theme and just want someone to help me fix them like he is trying to do or anyone else

We cannot help you without any information though. You have to give us something or you're on your own mate. There's plenty of people that will help, but with nothing to go on we can't.

i gave you information threw the private message thing

Fontpatch edition.cab,Defaults CPR files.cab,zuneHD_StartUp&StartMenu&IconsEdition.cab,htc_homescreen.cab,ZuneHD_Settings Editions.cab these are the cabs
forgot one more thing if you want to to improve my theme you would need this cab file name htc homescreen,htc diamond home and htc homedition

From reading that, you need someone who's a theme modder. I'm an app developer, so I can't help mate.
Good luck.

[Q] Editing APK

So I've been looking thru all the forums trying to find a similar instance but I cannot. I want to edit the SGS2 Digital Clock widget to where if you touch click it, it will open up the TW Clock Package app. I'm not a programmer or developer, but I know this can be done because I've been using the Weather and Clock Widget from the market and it does exactly this. If I touch click the clock portion of the widget it will open up the clockpackage.apk. It can even be customized to open up a different apk. Now I've searched thru some of the xml files trying to find the lines of code that enable such a feature but with no luck. Anyone willing to help me on this or point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

That would require that apk's source code, reverse engineering, programming experience, and a recompile. You could try looking up on how you'd go about decompiling apks? I'm also betting that you'll need android sdk, or at the least, Eclipse equivalent programming software for programming.

Wow. Thats a lot more work than I thought it would be. Probably best to leave it to the professionals.

Since its something as simple as making a widget 'clickable' for launching a different app, I'm sure there's pre-made program templates of some sort made by other devs who have such function, the issue at hand would still be the same though.

Yeah I figure since it was more a widget question than an app submission I'd better post it in the Q&A forum.

List icons name of installed apps

Hello everyone
Let me know if I can get a list of names of the icons displayed on the menu.
I want to create a theme icons but it is hard to see any apps that name carries.
For example facebook: icon_launcher_facebook.png but there are applications that do not respond to this syntax.
Any idea?

Maybe this helps a bit, there is a icon set theming tutorial in one of first posts of the following thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747433
There is a activity finder and a tutorial.

Yes I read the details of the post.
My idea is to create a theme for the stock sense and not for the venom (using a framework for the icons).

I know but i thought it might be helpful to understand some more about the logic behind it......

I think it's completely different.
I'm looking on google for days but could not find anything about it.
I avoid using rom with non-standard options (see venom, virtuous, etc.) simply because these options change from smartphone to smartphone.
So it is more logical to rely on the standard android instead of trying mods that are born and die in the same way.

Then im afraid i can't give you the answer how to do it atm......ah well at least i tried
