Feature Request : System-wide Icon changer - Paranoid Android Features Development

Paranoid Android made me forget Xposed, never looked back. The genius behind peek and pie just frightens people who see it in action and it makes me think I am playing in a sort of near-future fiction.
One thing I am desperate for, despite all this, is the possibility to change icons, system-wide, like Unicon permits it
.
I know it is not a pure "google experience", but in my opinion bad design choices made by app developers for their icons aren't either.
The possibility to have a clean look, either by changing a single icon or even multiple of them to get a unique and coherent look all across the system.
I also know that there is the possibilty to change the launcher, but I find it more disturbing than anything other to have two different icons for the same app. It just seems like badly hiding someone else's mess.
I wish you all a good day, silently waiting to enjoy hover, hopefully soon and in all it's glory.
Thank you again for making my phone feel awesome each time I hold it.

Notification center customization

Hi, as we all know androids notification is quite great. Apple however took this concept and in my opinion improved it. Many developer also seemd to like it and there are many apps on cydia that offers some customization.
What I'm looking for is an app or any way really that lets you customize the drop down window.
I'd like to b able to change wallpaper, change color of text, add widgets and info for fast updates.
I have spent many hours googling but I cant find anything like this. Is there any way to do this or does someone have thw ability to make souch an app?
I hope
I'm pretty sure access to the android notification can not be done through an app. Its like a core system process that probably can't be edited in real time. You would have to embed some sort of "notification drop down settings" into the OS.
But he is right Apple should not be ahead of us in any way..

Google and search button's seems to be extra these days
Good stuff I'll have to try. I don't know about everyone else about the search function, but I like to use my phone as a PC so the search does not work all that great through the android browser. Then filtering through the results.on this smaller than PC screen will give anyone a headache. Maybe the xda app is better idk..

Changing colors?????

Hi there,
I would like to know how I can change colours on my Android... Just like the blueish thing on the top bar, I can't stand it... Can't I just change it to white or else???
Why is'nt there any options to change that... I mean it's not a big ask is it
Vonz
I dont think you will be able to achieve this even if you are rooted. You have to install some custom ROMs which will proide you options for this. For ex: AOKP.
Mate, I have 6 ROMS in my BootMenu and NONE of them provides the option. I always wanted to do so since GB and now we have moved up it is still not possible. Even the themes do not cover the base frame and you still CANOT CHANGE THE COLOURS.
Appologies for my frustration but it seems that it is the simplest and the FIRST thing that any user will be trying to do if interested in customisation. I have all the custom ROMS in the world and still kicking around with the basic ugly blueish colours the designers arbitrarly choosed for us without implementing a simple menu to change them, what's the go with this??
Everybody is happy the way it is? No one wants to have a possibility to change layout colours?

[Q] Possible Request?

I'm a complete novice when it comes to programming for this kind of thing. Actually, novice doesn't begin to describe So I have a request, but I'm not sure how possible it is, or if it's done and I just haven't figured it out. I *love* Themer, and I like have the freedom to change things up without all the extra crap that other launchers have. My issue is that I tend to change themes every week or so, but then I have to turn around and modify each one to get it just right. Is there a way to transfer mods from theme to theme?

What sort of mods you talking. As depending on what you want add.
You could use themer zooper as that will save a template to your sd card that you can add to as many themes as you like
All the best

You can't save Everything Widgets from theme to theme, but as Moley said you can save the Zooper Widget configurations.
If you hold down on the homescreen - Advanced - Unlock Widgets, then hold down on the widget - Configure.
If it's a Zooper Widget, you can do as many customization tweaks as you want, and once you're happy (via Layout) - select the save icon at the top.
Now when you want to add this saved template, add a Zooper Widget - Resize it - tap to open it's options - SD Card - your saved template

Too Much Music not enough Calendar?

First of all, I absolutely love this app. It's so easy to use yet powerful and the variety is just incredible. I remember a few years ago when I still had a jailbroken iPhone 3GS, it took me a whole afternoon just to make my phone look like one of these themes, now it's just a press of a button.
I just want to voice a little suggestion for the designers out there and if anyone disagrees with me, please send it right back. I think one of the coolest things about Android compared to iOS is the widgets and one widget that many people use often around me is the calendar. Unfortunately, even though there are so many amazing themes made for this app, very few of them actually dedicate enough space to a calendar widget (and often not at all).
Every theme though seems to dedicate a whole page to a music app. From my experience, this isn't really necessary since when a song is playing, i can see it in the notifications shade or when I want to start a new session to listen to music, I probably want to go into the app and choose which song to start with.
So I'm just making a suggestion to include more calendar widgets in future themes because at the moment, there's not enough themes with them but there are too many themes with music widgets. What do you guys think?
or better yet, make a theme yourself and include whatever you want =)

I plan to eventually but I don't have the time right now so I thought I'd make a suggestion for those who do.
A good way to start finding your work-life balance is to challenge yourself to identify one behavior that you can change. What makes you happiest? What stresses you out the most? Determine your answers, then focus on a few areas in which you can improve, whether it's socializing more at work or planning out your day better. Soon you’ll be living happier, too!

Thanks for the self-help tip. It's funny how a suggestion for future themes lead to a lesson on life management! I guess I better keep this in mind the next time I write an app review in the Google Play Store.

well that sorted my life out !!!! seriously how is this helping anyone !!!!!
I understand what you mean that many do try and have more music apps etc and as you mention are not always useful,I am guilty of this myself in some respects,but when I create a style I create them because I want to not because they may or not become popular,as this doesn't concern me.It is all down to personal taste I suppose.
I maybe give this a try in a future theme,to be honest it is a good suggestion in my opinion

Hey Marco,
This is a good suggestion, we'll definitely pass it onto the team. Thanks!
Calendar apps are light on the ground for me to, I uses a self edited version of the shades of green themer which has a good calendar app

Yeah, right now it is the shades of green the only really good theme, if you want events on the home screen. I also feel that all the themes go in a direction of fun and design, and there are only very few, that at least add basic organizer options.
More work related themes would be welcome
I have to second the request for a calendar widget in more of the themes.
I LOVE themer and it's my default launcher now. I use the agenda view of the calendar all the time which gives me the option to scroll through my appointments and meeting times. Unfortunately, there are only a handful of themes that present this option, such as 'Series', 'Silver lining', 'Coordinate' and 'Violet'.
I usually just end up inserting an agenda widget in one of the unused whitespaces in the screen.
I would make my own themes, but I don't have a creative bone in my body. I couldn't hope to come up with anything half as nice as what you guys do on a regular basis.
Thank you for all your hard work. I will certainly be paying for this launcher when it comes out of beta. :good:

Thanks for your response! We've passed this message onto the team and will look into including more agenda-focused themes

Centre home screen custom navigation.

Hello,
I'm not certain where this post belongs. Please be benevolent, admins, or direct me in the right direction.
I'm brand new to modding and even Android. After ditching the iPhone 4s and grabbing a OnePlus One, I'm loving Android and I'm finding lots of cool customization mods. As a graphic designer and html and css coder, I can get a little picky and will spend hours tweaking the smallest of things for a simple aesthetic cause.
While playing around with the look of my phone through themes and backgrounds I got a little itch to design something of my own:
The Basics: a simple home screen navigation. Press the centre and swipe one of eight directions to open up one of eight apps.
Details: I'm a huge norse mythos fan and what better thing to show it then a phone navigation based on the Vegvisir, a runic compass. Eight points, eight apps to call upon. I would like a black background with 50% grey of the Vegvisir already centred on the home screen, doesn't even have to be part of the navigation I could just have it on the background. Once the centre is pressed and held, I'd like it to start glowing or even just jump to white and highlight one direction of the Vegvisir. Let go with one of them highlighted to launch the app.
The Extra Mile: Maybe have it customizable through some menus to set apps right on the phone instead of coding what program to launch. Easing and effects to make it look pretty.
Phone specs: (let me know if you need any more)
OnePlus One 64gb
Cyanogen OS Version 12.1-YOG4PAS1N0
Android Version 5.1.1
I'm brand new to modding Android. Let me know if you think it's too ambitious or if you know something similar that would do the trick (eight-direction swipe home screen nav). If you have any resources or know where I should get started please let me know.
Much appreciated,
Skaldsyn
