Paid themes? - Note 7 Questions & Answers

Okay I already tried asking but the thread goes somewhere else.
I'm in a country where there are no paid themes and I used to use vpn to get when I had the Note 5. I've tried that same trick but it doesn't seem to work, stuck with boring themes.
Has someone tried getting those themes onto their devices?

[Q] RcMIX v1.5 Kingdom - How to fix the market?

Hey,
I'm sorry, I'm sure that this question was answered before. Yeah, i watches the "Your are a noob on xdadevelopers"- video and i googled for almost two hours, but i can't find anything that will work for me.
So, i had a Telekom (germany) branded Desire HD. I created a goldcard, downgraded, and finally installed the Kingdom ROM for my phone, with the new sense 3.0.
When searching in the market, i recognized many apps are missing, also free ones. Trillian, Quadrant Standard, and so on .. Old story, i'm sure you know it. I also read a german thread (50 pages long!) about the Kingdom rom, and downloaded a self-coded market fix for the old v0.2, but it wouldn't work. I read something about changing the fingerprint in the build.prop, but i don't know what i have to change in it. I know there are alternative markets, but i also want to use the normal one, not AppBrain etc.
I can't imagine i'm the first one who wants to fix that but i just couldn't find ANYTHING to solve it, i was really getting frustrated with every failed attempt to find something useful .. It would be great if you could help me
Go here and ask away mate

[Q] LG OSP

Does anyone know if there's any way to get LG's On-Screen Phone working on our phones? It comes stock with the AT&T version (thread about that here), but not ours for some reason. I spent a few hours playing around with things and was able to get the apk for it installed and all the options to appear under Settings > PC Connection, but the program on the PC side just doesn't detect anything. Of course I'll be the first to admit that I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing lol.
It seems like it should be possible though, and if any of the wiser minds around here could figure it out that would be awesome. I remember using a near-identical program way back on my HTC 8125, and it really could come in handy sometimes...
This would be cool if we could get it working.

That would be sweet if we could get this working on our phones. I remember having to search high and low on my old samsung moment for something like this and it was a really useful application when I finally found it.
I imagine it is just an apk installed on the phone side. I wonder if I can ask someone on the at&t side if they can pull the apk. Maybe we can just push it to the phone and it will work. Maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in?

There is an apk floating around somewhere. Installing it will add a new section under Settings>PC Connection called LG Apps, under which is On-Screen Phone, but the only thing you can do with it is set-up & change a password. I decompiled the apk, played around a bit with things, and was able to get one or two other options to show up, but unfortunately none of it actually does anything towards making it work lol.
Here's the apk if anyone wants to poke around in it....For the PC software just go to the LG Support site for the AT&T model (E970).

I honestly couldn't tell you. I spent a couple hours changing different things around without really knowing what I was doing lol.
I should have some time tonight to maybe mess with this.

IconSets

UPDATE - thanks to kwerdenker pointing me in the right direction I stumbled upon this post which is amazingly helpful for anyone else interested!

-------------------------------------------------
I'm trying to add a custom iconset I made to a paid theme of mine. As posted by a couple other people there are apparently some issues with this that no one can figure out. Well I am making this post to hopefully find people who are willing to help me squash this. As an independent themer with limited time this frustrates the piss out of me. I also have Go Locker themes that no one can every help me with my issues and it drives me crazy... anyway back to Zooper. This is my post from G+
having problems with my apk when I build it since I added my custom iconset. can anyone give me any insight on this?
currently it's in
assets/iconset/whatever/whatever/config.xml.jet with the font in there also whatever.ttf.jet
this is how it's exported in the apk templete from the app itself though and thats the only thing not working, is the iconset.
so to recap, the app install, loads, and works minus my icons from the custom iconset.
I'm lost.
I also tried removing all the .jet extensions like someone suggested and it didn't fix it...
the name of the iconset shows up and everything. just no preview image. it was like that when it was .jet too.
tried taking away all the .jet extensions everywhere too... no luck
trying to build using Android Studio if that matters
so far I tried taking out one of the folders so it was just
/assets/iconsets/whatever/config.xml & the font and that got letters to show up at least, just not from my font.
I also tried putting the zip file in there so it was
/assets/iconsets/whatever.zip
no luck either way... anyone else care to chime in or have any other ideas?

Font-based icon sets are broken in Zooper APKs. This has been a known problem for a long time and there have been some attempts to fix this issue but those were by users most of the time (here is one good example: https://plus.google.com/u/0/106201536507820539535/posts/dY1vras522H). The devs haven't responded to this for a while now. Might be they are working on it, might also be that theme APKs are not a priority anymore since the buyout through Themer. Hard to tell since the communication with the developers has stopped almost entirely.

Thank you so much for this information. It's sad to see one of the best customization apps on Android lose support like that but not surprising. So... are we able to create Themer themes? I can't imagine them being much different than their Zooper counterpart.

Lollipop to A100????

Simple (and maybe stupid) question...
I was looking for a rom, and google show me this:
http://www.lollipop-roms.org/mp3-0/acer-iconia-tab-a100-3841.html
Just for curiosity tried to download it, but fail...
Anyway... i don´t believe about that page... but can someone check about it?
Thanks!!!
Since the second line is "I rewrite this tutorial from forum.xda-developers.com" and it is clearly NOT from here, I think you can assume the rest has very little truth to it.
It's definitely fake. The text looks like it's been generated with some bot and just filled in or then copied from another, similar text, and then they just added those scam links. You need to complete a survey which means paying money for like an SMS service or app download that will charge you a lot of money. A friend fell to one of those, and he got 3x45 euros bill from his operator for trying to download a pirated APK through a similar site. He got to the download all right after entering his phone number, but the apk he got was malware that installed ad downloaders and tracking apps on his phone, added shortcuts and sent his logs somewhere to China (Southern China if I remember correctly).
So yeah, anything that looks fishy and is not from a popular, widely-used site like XDA forums or the other similar forums, is mostly always a fake in this case too...
I was also looking for a Lollipop ROM for the Iconia and stumbled upon this, noticed only now how old the thread is, but whatever

Hi there, I still have a A100, very robust tablet, it never gave me any headaches... I recently installed a A500 Omniron 5.1.1 and it booted, went to the initial android setup screen and stucked there because the touchscreen driver does not work on A100... but all buttons, wifi, usb seems to work well, only the touchscreen is the matter... does anyone here knows how to solve that ? I read some threads about compiling the kernel, but if that is the solution I would need tips or help... at least there is yes a light in the end of the tunnel to make A100 work with Lollipop 5.1.1....

Yeah it's a good little device!
Impressive that they work! Bluetooth too?
The last time I compiled the kernel was for Android 2.3.7 and that was ages ago But you could maybe try to find the touch driver location on the device through ADB shell (exploring it's contents) or the downloaded package. Then after that's found, you could try pushing the working drivers from an earlier version, like 4.3, through ADB also and then reboot the device to see if it does anything! I can't for my life remember how they're supposed to be put there the real way but this is just a quick thought..lol.. anyone else have ideas?

Need to get Theme app back

This is my first post as I am entirely new here and therefore am not sure if I can fix this or even how to go about it.
I got overzealous deleting apps from my settings and accidentally deleted the one called Themes. Since it's been gone all I get when I open the Wallpaper or Themes selection is a popup with either Cancel or Download. The download does nothing. (This A70 was purchased directly from China via Aliexpress so not everything works as a US model does.)
Is there hope at replacing this theme generator?? I'm hoping someone can helo me.
