WANTED: Ditching GO Launcher! - Themer General Discussion

Dear Community,
I'm happy to have found Themer and would like to fully replace all Go Products. I don't trust that chinese crap with its adware and random lockups any longer.
Questions I'd love to see answered:
1. How to enable animations like in Go Locker?
2. Advantages over all other Launchers?
3. Which is the best replacement for Go SMS?
4. Security advantages over Go Products (pretty self-explanatory given the fact that Go Products come from China)
Even though not everything might fit this forum, I'd like to have your experiences as detailed as possible.
Thumps up will be given. Trust me.
Update: Themer looks cool, but doesn't seem to be the right option. I want 3D and I would like to place my app icons on my home screen like I used to. Any other Launchers you can recommend? C'mon, don't be shy!

PLEASE ANSWER. Thank you.

Hi SecUpwN, let's see:
1. We've just started, lock screen integration will arrive in the future once we are more stable.
2. The biggest advantage is that we offer the only one-click theming experience. Other launchers do allow you to add themes, but then you'll always need other 3rd party apps. With Themer, everything is included.
3. Hard to say, that's personal preference, but there are many great alternatives out there.
4. Well Themer is being developed in Irvine, CA. We can assure you that we only release quality, non-risky features and updates. The only push notification we use is one to "show off" your theme, which helps spread awareness for Themer and also helps keep it free. It can also be turned off.
Hope this has helped answer all your questions, feel free to ask more if you need

Thanks for answering, @ThemerSupport! How can I have a cool theme by Themer and place my own apps onto the home screen? I'm REALLY looking forward for that lockscreen feature! Having it, I could use Themer as an ultra-stylish locker and have a fresh home screen with my own apps on it. Aww man, maybe next year..

You can still add your own app shortcuts by longpressing the app in the drawer, then dragging it where you want on the home screen.
Same thing with any widget.
Of course, this likely ruins the aesthetic of the theme.
You can go to Menu > Advanced Settings > Unlock Widgets
And move things around to accommodate your additions.
Furthermore, you can just add an extra home screen and have your way with it!

Full icon pack support will come soon though, but what @Ryo Misaki said is correct.

Cool! @ThemerSupport, would you please add the following options as well?
* Custom styling of lockscreen like in Go Locker
* Possibility of adding own app icons to the home screen
* 3D animations of the home screen
I know the app is in BETA stage, but would you please add these into your plan? THANK YOU!

I decided to ditch Themer as long as it doesn't provide basic features like NOVA launcher. It's sad, but without beging able to add icons to the desktop without destroying the theme, I don't want it. I'm using NOVA now - and it works just awesome.

We're trying our best to add in full icon pack support (as well as providing icons that are related to the theme), it hopefully shouldn't be much longer.

Go Launcher Update (menu now full view)

Did anyone else get an update to Go Launcher EX today? I hit home, and it showed me an update screen so I assumed it updated. After that, I checked the menu and now I can see the entire menu when I select menu from my home screen. Not sure if I did something for this or if the update corrected it. Current version of Go Launcher is v2.69. Just wanted to make sure I am not losing my mind. Thanks.

Yeah, you're losing your mind. But that's okay; I'm using Go Launcher too and I'm losing my mind. Nice update!
Very nice addition. ...and a very pleasant surprise!
Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk
Nice, but...
Yeah, nice addition, but they didn't warn themers or offer any information on their blog. Therefore thousands of themes look ugly and are kind of killed until they can be fixed.
Not something you would expect from a community that has thousands of themes and many with millions of users.

Shameless as the plug may be.... I thank you. Theme looks nice and I might give it a try.
Awesome. That was so annoying in the previous version. They also added new options if you swipe to the right.
Joe's ICS theme still looks great.
if the devs behind Go Launcher incorporates a similar function to ADW EX Launcher's "Launcher Actions", I'd probably get back to using it. I need those home panel shortcuts! I did try to email and suggest it to them but...I don't know, they never replied. I hope someonen camln suggest it to them, so that they can put it on their next update... (hopefully.)

[APP] Meta Widget - create widgets from any website content

META WIDGET
Meta is a unique app that can turn virtually any online content into dynamic, interactive widgets.
Simply browse to a website, pick a column of text, link or image and enjoy this information right on your home screen!
Why is this cool you ask? Because almost anything can be parsed out of a website - images, blogrolls, RSS feeds or entire windows.
Any widget created through Meta can be customized and automatically updated, or updated on user interaction.
Features
★ Create widgets from almost any website element
★ Parse graphs and images
★ Extract statistics and information from authorized sites
★ Configure widgets (background, alignment, etc.)
★ Automatic updates
★ User defined click actions
★ Lots of other cool stuff
Status
The app is currently quite stable, but we still prefer to call it a beta. So please, do write to us with suggestions or bug reports!
Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.metawidget
The free app has everything but automatic updates. Please buy the Key - that would help us a lot

The widget is stretchable on HC and ICS, predefined sizes are only available on GB.
Man how is that confusing?

im new to ics... i didnt know that it would be strechable, and look good streched from a 1x1...
i will have to try to strech it, im using go launcher and have not figured out how to resize widgets.
thanks for the repley... i do like it and it works well on my phone.
Edit/Add***
Thank you for clarifying about the stretching ... works great! ... Thanks!
I'm surprised you would use go on I cs, the stock 4.0 launcher is excellent. But if you need more, you should go with nova or apex, they are great.

my bad.. i came across another launcher with same name i suppose........ thanks for notifying. :good:
Actually they've just made it be paid.
The paid version has some improvement in the UI.
Awesome visual UI and effects. Really awesome!
If I get it right, this is only free for 24 hours. I think it's a pretty good share then, so we can decide that do we like that, and if yes we can buy this launcher later, as it will be updated, while this won't, because this is just an apk. Correct me if I'm wrong but there's nothing wrong with this. And this thread will be useless in 24 hours, and will be deleted. So no use of report anyway. But again I might be wrong
Dafuq?!
Its sixteen bucks?!
Edit : Just downloaded it on .... hehehe
Its smooth, responsive, lightweight, and awesome !
But, the icons are ugly ...
Waiting the theme option )))

A feature I'd like to see on home screens

There are a few themes now on themer that do a lot of clicking to go screen to screen but scrolling is still possible to go to the screens, so I would like to see an option now to disable scrolling for the home screens to make this more effective.
Unless it is already on the app then can someone show me how to do it?

Sent an email to the developers again to see how easy it will be to implement. Features like this sound easy to implement, but in reality it might take a week straight to get right, and in that time the developers could be fixing a ton of bugs and adding in performance improvements. We'll keep you informed though!

Feature Request: Favorites in a Folder

Is there any way we can get Favorites to open as a folder instead of opening the app drawe? Maybe an option? Folders open a lot faster than the app drawer.
I like the simplistic themes and really only need the favorites in addition to phone, email, and text. I also like using the double tap gesture to open favorites, but the app drawer is much slower at opening than a folder. If I add a folder to the home screen, I have to re-create it every time I change themes, and I can't use the double-tap gesture.
Thanks for listening!

I do like it! The most recent category is pretty much a pre-built favorites list. I like the new app drawer a lot, too! Thank you
Now we just need a way to open that category via a gesture (double tap for me)
yeah I like it well done but please please please can we have continuous scrolling and resize icon ,these are very badly needed and will only improve the feel of themer,I got the save as option but just for christmas give us these two options.:victory: or at least a time scale of when we can expect

I would have thought sorting features out and issues would have priority ,in my opinion no point trying to get best looking themes if everything in the themer app isn't fully working.Just my opinion as mentioned

Agreed, but the trouble is that it's a lot easier said than done. A somewhat simple fix to a bug or a performance improvement could take weeks to solve, which isn't easy with limited resources. The devs are doing the best they can to juggle adding new themes, improving the performance, as well as fix the bugs and crashes.
You guys rock!
