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.

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
All of a sudden I'm not able to select an existing ZW when using Popup widget.
When selecting Zooper as the widget from within Popup Widget, one can only select the default 18 templates / sizes and not an existing created zooper widget.
I would appreciate some assistance please from someone who uses Popup Widget to place Zooper Widgets on screen.
This has worked before but not at the moment.
Thanks for any help in this regard!

Does it work if you create the Zooper widget directly on your homescreen/any other way than Popup widget? Just asking because from your initial description it kinda sounds like you have the free and not the pro version of Zooper installed.

Thank you for prompt reply.
Yes it works well when I use from within Zooper.
The issue seems to be that from within Popup Widget, there is no way to select the actual zooper widget but only the default templates.
So the 18 templates can be chosen, but not the already existing custom zooper widget that one has already created!!!
Yes, I am using Pro version.
Thanks kwerdenker

Actually, I should have stated that the way popup widgets work is to select a 'shortcut'.
So basically the process is to point the hotspot to Popup Widget and select one of the widgets prev setup in Popup Widget.
Problem is as per my original post, can't seem to create a Popup Widget using an already created Zooper Widget.
But this has worked previously!
Thanks
Ps I don't seem to be able to select a Zooper widget as the hotspot link from within Zooper either.
I can though select a Popup Widget within popup widget..
Apologies if this is getting confusing..

I tried to recreate the issue but it works for me. Could you please check your steps against mine for any differences?
Create new Popup widget either via the app or directly via a new shortcut on the homescreen/Zooper's OnTap action.
Select a Zooper widget as the Popup widget content.
Configure the settings for the Popup widget.
Exit the popup configuration.
Open the newly created Popup widget via shortcut (again either from homescreen or via Zooper)
Tap the "blank" Zooper widget and load the template.
Exit the Zooper configuration.
The Popup widget should now be completely configured and show the Zooper template when called via the shortcut.

Can you explain step 5 and 6 in greater detail please.
I pretty much do all the steps before that..
All other widgets from other apps work as expected....
These are my steps
1. Create a Zooper widget and save.
2. Select Create a new widget in Popup Widget.
3. Select Zooper.
4. Choose any of the 18 templates
5. This places a blank Zooper widget.
And this seems to be the issue.
I should be able to select a previously created Zooper widget that I have created in Step 1. Above.
Thanks for your time on this.
It is appreciated.

Ah ok, I think I understand the problem now: your expectation of the process doesn't match with the one Zooper implements
When you create a Zooper widget, you get the choice of multiple widgets. The only difference here is the size of the widget. (You used the word template here but when you talk about Zooper, template means the .zw file you can load via the SD card option. This probably had me confused a bit at the beginning.) To get to the screen where you can load the template, you first have to create a Zooper widget of any size. This will result in a widget with the text "resize or tap to start" on it. When you tap it, you'll get to the template screen.
This "tap to configure" part is problematic in combination with Popup because in the configuration screen, you can't actually tap the widget. When you do that, you get the resize option from Popup widget. So what you have to do is create the widget, configure it in Popup as far as you can. Then you exit Popup and call the Popup shortcut you just configured, so it opens the blank Zooper and you can actually tap on it to load the template.
I hope this clarifies the steps necessary to make Zooper templates work with Popup widget.

That's exactly the issue.
I didn't express it well enough, but your understanding now is perfect.
So what you have to do, can you explain each step in the relevant App please, Zooper or Popup.
Still unsure of the process.
Apologies for being difficult, but this is difficult to comprehend.
I have though, once before, been able to see the Zooper widget load successfully into the Popup Screen.
This is probably driving you insane too, but once solved I'll document everything and post it here.
Thanks

Try it with the following steps and see if you can make it work.
Create a Zooper widget, configure it the way you like, save it as a template
Open Popup widget and create a new widget
From the list, choose a Zooper widget with the appropriate size for the template you just saved
Configure the settings for the Popup widget as would normally
Exit the Popup widget configuration via the back key to save your Popup widget
Exit the Popup widget app.
Either create a shortcut to the Popup widget you just made or use the appropriate OnTap action from another Zooper widget
Open the Popup widget via the shortcut/Zooper OnTap. It will display the "blank" Zooper widget with the "resize or tap to start" message. Tap on this Zooper widget.
You should be in the "Open template" screen. Select "SD card", search for the template you saved in Step 1 and tap on it.
Your template should now be loaded in the Zooper widget you called via Popup widget.
Exit the Zooper configuration
Your template should now be loaded in the Zooper Popup widget.

Thank you very much kwerdenker.
Your instructions work perfectly.
I'm extremely grateful to you.
I obviously managed to do this once before, but by fluke.
At least now I understand the process thanks to your patience.
I'm using Uccw hotspot to call the popup widget, but will probably use Zooper at some point too.
Thank you again for your patience, I know this can be extremely frustrating, so I'm particularly appreciative.
Have a great remainder of the day.
Sorry I took so much of your time.
One last thing (promise), when creating a Zooper template, and resizing the template, how do you tell what size in pixels the resized template is?
Can't seem to see any setting that tells you the new size of the resized widget.
Thank you again.
Cheers

No problem. This is what these forums are meant for and I gladly support everyone who is willing to expand their horizon and has the will to work for it.
As to your question: you can't find one because there is none. Zooper doesn't really work with pixels but has an internal scaling engine that should make sure that widgets look the same on different screens. This doesn't always work as intended but that's another story.
I guess you want to know which size you need to set your Popup widget to, so it has the same as the original Zooper widget you saved as a template? My way for that is to just determine it by hand: get the size of your device's screen in pixel (1280 height and 720 width for your one x for example) and divide that by the number of rows/columns you have set up in your launcher. Then you can just multiply that by how many rows/columns your Zooper widget used on the homescreen and get the size you need or at least a good estimate.

Yes, that was exactly the reason for the question, lol.
Will try your method.
Thanks again.

looks like popup widget cant call a zooper from within themer. If a zooper included in popup widget is selected, you just get a blank "loading zooper..." message.
Any solution to this?
Sometimes this occurs when memory low.
Try reboot and see what happens.
Worth a shot.

I just want to create a shortcut to Themer category in widget, but i can't do that in usually zooper, there are no one Themer shoshortcuts. I can choose it in Themer zooper, but i can't create this widget

Themer Zooper is only available in the Themer app itself, you can't use it outside of it.
I am trying to change the calendar that opens when I tap a clock widget. I click to add a widget on my screen, choose "Zooper Widget Pro" and then a 1x1 widget. I then go back to the screen and tap the icon, choose "SD card", where I have the widget stored. I then change the "Widget OnTap Action" setting to the App I want (Google Calendar in this case). It is now listed on the settings page. I save the template with a new name, tap the "back" arrow to get back to my home screen. But when I tap the widget the old app opens. What am I doing wrong???
Thanks in advance.
Wrong thread
I absolutely cannot figure out how to get this to work. Can you give me a step by step procedure. I have a complicated clock that I don't want to build from scratch stored on my SD card. Might there be an issue with Android 5? Sorry for being so slow.

Thank you so much! And thanks for your patience explaining to this old brain.
