Hi Mo,
We want to try and nail this problem, so we need your help as well as @alldroid.
We want to replicate the problem, so could you please give us:
1. When the crashes occurred
2. What Android version are you running (as well as ROM, software such as Xposed etc)
3. What device are you running
4. Anything else we should be aware of
Thanks it will be much appreciated!

Running jb 4.2.1 on galaxy s2, standard samsung non modified rom ,happens randomly here mainly when I try to add any widget to a theme that is a themer widget.I have had random reboots and lately random locks when I try to apply themes for which I get a report screen,these I forward on to yourselves.

@ThemerSupport
I'm still on v117 as if I update past that I just get a black screen when returning to home from a app if I push my home button. But if I exit a app using the back button sometimes I could still see the theme but 75% of the time I'm left with a black. So I rolled back to v117 where the only bug I get is every 3rd export I do crashes themer an I have to reboot my phone.
I have a Motorola RAZR I (xt890) running stock 4.1.2 with no mods not even rooted.
I dont get a report box with my crash after export all I see is a box that pops up saying themer has crashed then after 2-3 second it disappears just leaving a gray box that say loading which just stay there till I reboot and all it shows of the theme that was exported is the wallpaper but no widget's. And as I say its EVERY 3rd export not even random.
If there is any more I can do to help just let me know
EDIT: sorry forgot to say my RAZR I is powered by the Intel atom 2ghz cpu . do you have full Intel support is it done in the same way as most apps where its optimized for arm CPU but will run on Intel via the aid of arm to Intel emulation.
Just thought I'd ask is this might be a issue your not aware of this as I know the RAZR I is the European version of the RAZR m which you have in the U.S just with a different CPU IE intle.

Hi bro I've now saved the 1.17 apk.
So now I will do the latest version update and see what I find.
At least that way if things are to bad I can roll back.
As I cant remember on which version it was but on one I had a black bar at the top of my screen with the .APK I'd in big white font. So i rolled back 1 version and did the update again but still had the same issue. So I uninstalled themer all together and then reinstalled as a fresh install and all was fine. I did make a post about this but it seamed I was the only person that had it.
But when I've tested the newest version I will feedback what I find in way of bugs and crashes

mymodes bubbles removed .apks

Im not big on creating new threads but I noticed alot of threads asking about removing bubbles so I created some apks of mymode themes that have the bubbles removed. enjoy
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8756559/mymodes.zip
EDIT: Should mention I am using SlideMeRoot5r1. I haven't tested it on stock or other roms, but it should work.
ok I have included system themes now. just push these to /system/app/"themename".apk
example: go into recovery and in adb do: adb push C:\Android\Hoops.apk /system/app/Hoops.apk
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8756559/MyModesSystem.zip
Great stuff! Also works fine on a non-rooted phone. Is there anyway you can put something under the icon text? Those of us with light backgrounds have a tough time reading the text.
Any way you could do this for Nest? I mainly use that theme with different wallpaper. Awesome job btw.

Only issue I came across is that the preview images for these do not load in the mymodes app when you're changing the themes.
Also, randomly it froze up and kept trying to reload the home page but kept freezing and repeating. If this happens, just power down and back on.
It'd be great to see the other themes get this as well
Previews showed for me, I really like these as well.

my phone is not rooted.
I got the issue solved now.
This is just a warning for those with non rooted:
Your phone could freeze up from these modified theme files.
If they do, you will not be able to get past the mytouch slide startup screen.
If you get frozen you will have to do a long battery pull (i let me out for almost 7 hours, i'm sure its shorter, i just did it while i was as work), then boot into recovery mode. This shoot then boot to the red triangle/exclamation. pull battery again (short pull), power phone up to the boot manager and do a fastboot. Hopefully if anyone else goes thru this, it will help them. I wouldnt want to see anyone else freaking out like i was this morning.
Note:Hard reset wont fix this issue

[Q] All widgets disappear after every phone reboot

Hi All,
I am a new user of Themer and I am really blown away by the level of customisation that this app offers.
However I noticed a problem on my Nexus 5. I applied a new theme and added some customised widgets (twitter feed etc) and locked my widgets, my widgets will all disappear (both the ones the were default from the theme and the ones I added on). Only shortcuts or icons will remain. I also notice that they will prompt for me to give all access for themer to access widgets information despite it was already given multiple times.
The problem will not appear if I did not add any other widgets and only apply the theme direct. Was wondering if anyone else is bugged by the same problem?
I have the exact same problem on my nexus 4 since one the last themer update.
Same here.

my best guess would be something to do with the cache and/or dalvik...
It's not with dalvik/cache. On previous threads they said it's a Themer problem. Just save your theme and after the restart apply it again.
yes it happens here too i hope it will be fixed soon.

Yep, very beta. Over a year later the problem still exists. I know the workaround with saving the theme but as soon as I change a little bit on the home screen and I forget saving the theme again, all the widgets are gone by the next restart (every now and then they just forget their configuration)
I love the app, but this is the only problem I cant solve.
Hi,
I have this exact problem after updating my XtreStoLite 2.4 ROM to Marshmallow. Have the latest Themer version. how to resolve?

Screen loading after open apps

I conducted a brief search with no results, so here goes, whenever I open an app, whether it be weatherbug or gplus, or any app. When I return to the home screen I get the loading wheel. Sometimes it takes up to thirty seconds to load. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I hope this can be resolved. I think the issue occurs when you've had another app open for a while and return to the home screen (themer). I don't recall encountering this issue with other launchers, so fingers crossed it is an easy fix.
It is getting pretty frustrating, and I'm going to go back to use another launcher for the moment, but eager to use Themer so will be keeping an eye on this.
Keep up the good work!

The @ThemerSupport team are working very hard to try and fix all the bugs and crashes.
But this takes time and above all feedback as the themer support team can't fix any bug that's not reported to http://support.themerapp.com or just a post here at xda giving as much info as possible.
And as well as themer support there is a couple of users here who are trying there best to help and support themer.

Slow response to touch?

Has anyone else experienced an issue with Themer where you select the drawer icon or the games icon, etc and it either takes 5 seconds to respond or it takes a second tap (or third) to make it finally appear? In fact, none of the "widgets" respond. Double tapping will immediately bring up the menu, so it's responding to that. It seems as if the widgets stop responding after awhile. Other times, it might take a tap and then another tap a few seconds later for the widgets to respond.
I've also had it where it just doesn't respond at all. A reboot doesn't seem to help. But, if I change themes, then it appears to fix the issue for about a day.
I've uninstalled Themer and reinistalled it and that seems to help for a day or two, but then the problem persists.
I also notice it appears to happen more frequently if I modify a theme and add my own widgets.
Not sure what the issue is and I do understand it's beta. I love this app and hopefully, this issue can get fixed?
I am running it on an unlocked and rooted RAZR HD running the Nexesque 3.6 ROM.
Thanks!
Yep getting same error here too using latest version and again it is frustrating,removing all themer files and uninstalling does not cure it.I also have another error here see attached,when this happens I get the old ghost image of an earlier version,again reinstall/reboot does not clear it
updated to latest version and now the problem is not there anymore,try updating your version now m8 see if it corrects for you
the only time I had such an issue was when my status bar was visible. It seems that it pushed hotspots down a bit so they did not align properly with icons. As soon as I've hidden the status bar all was OK again...

After posting my find, that's what I had decided. I went ahead and uninstalled Themer and reinistalled it going back to defaults.
There still was a lag sometimes. With the latest update, it doesn't seem as bad. At least, I haven't had an issue where it completely hangs and freezes.
This is still my daily homescreen driver. Sticking with it.
Well, upon further review, the lag between selecting a widget and it actually responding has surfaced again with the latest update.
I hope this can be rectified soon. It's a little aggravating to select say the "games" widget and then having to wait 5 seconds or else, hitting it multiple times before it responds.
Not sure what the issue is. Wish I could be more helpful, but that's all I can say.
Thanks!

Hi iBolski,
Does using the 'clean install' method work for you?
As in: uninstalling Themer, deleting the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder, reinstalling Themer.
What device/Android version/ROM are you running?

Yes, I've done that and it seems to help for a day or so and then it comes back.
I'm running Themer on a DROID RAZR HD, unlocked bootloader and rooted, running Nexesque ROM v3.6 which is running on Android 4.1.2. Nova Launcher is the installed launcher in the ROM.

and it's doing it again,when I click on widgets I get a white screen and it takes around 15 seconds to list the widgets.Fresh install delete everything and still the same,this is on the galaxy s4 running kitkat
and now I keep getting the there is a previous crash data everytime I try to change anything must have sent at least ten crash reports today,from previous crashes,seems like themer has hung on to the problems somewhere,I suspect it is in each theme I had errors with regarding the earlier problems.Even after a full delete and reinstall
Razr HD same issue with lag
I really love this app and would like to use it but I am having the same extreme lag issues. The funny part is that it takes a couple of days to show up like other people have said. It gets so bad it makes the phone almost unusable. I have to revert back to my standard homescreen. On my "standard" setup I have very little lag and only once in a while. I used quotes because I am running a Razr HD, rooted but locked BL, safestrap with Batakang ROM. ICS 4.1.1
Is it because we are on custom ROM's?

Hi,
Please try this method, as it should help fix the issue:
1. Uninstall Themer.
2. Delete the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder (removing the Exported folder within it if you saved any themes).
3. Reinstall Themer.
If you still have lag issues, let us know!

Lag on the htc m8

i have used themer for a week on my m8, but no matter what theme i set, there seems to be considerable lag when i am swithing between the menu and home screen. Also is the case if i close any app and go back to the menu, the launcher takes at least 3-4 secs to load... this is very annoying. I have also noticed that themer stays in the background and when i close it from the recent apps, it lags and reloads... i have switched back to sense since this is very annoying... Such beautiful themes out there, and i simply cant get em to work with fluidity...
BTW i have enough ram and i have rebooted my device as well, but nothing has worked. If devs can sort this out, it will be a brilliant launcher...

Hi kartoonz,
Sorry for the delay, we understand that there is some lag, so here is a quick fix:
1. Uninstall Themer.
2. Delete the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder.
3. Reinstall Themer.
Also take note that a large update is coming this week which should also fix any lag issues.

Marco,
I actually tried themer on my m7, and every time I hit the home button it would blank the screen and sit on a loading wheel for a second or two, then go to the home screen. I do a lot of multi-tasking and bouncing around, so this led me to uninstall the app within the first day. I was rather bothered too because Themer is really awesome, and there are so many great looking "instant themes" that someone who's as fickle as me about how my phone looks really needs to have that kind of thing.
Can you speak to the lag/delay I got and if it was/will be fixed?

As Themer is still in beta, issues like lag are the hardest to fix. The way that Themer is designed, which is completely different to say Nova or Apex, means that our team often faces hurdles that no other launcher faces. Every update comes with new fixes, however we still need a few more weeks to iron out the lag.
That method I mentioned earlier is the best known fix to help with the lag, but hopefully soon there will be many more speed improvements. Sorry about that.

Followed the steps and now I can say that there's a 1 second delay when I press home sometimes.. I'd say so far about 10 percent of the time, which is monumentally better than it was. This means to me it's usable enough to enjoy your themes, so good work. I"m eager to see you make it even better. I wouldn't say you're finished the lag improvements but they're VERY significantly improved and I'll keep using themer while I watch to see what happens next
