"Themer Calendar" issue - Themer General Discussion

This happens on every Theme
When you click on the Calendar widget hotspot/text and Themer asks you what Calendar to use, and you select your Calendar of choice, every time you click on that hotspot/text instead of launching the Calendar you chose it tries to "create new event". This happens regardless of the Calendar chosen.
In order to make the widget function properly, I have to manually edit the widget to directly launch my Calendar app instead of launching "Themer Calendar"
This makes Themer unbearable to use for me as many widgets have several text spots that launch "Themer Calendar" and I have to edit them all in order to avoid this behavior. I have mentioned this problem months ago but nothing has been done to rectify this.
Galaxy Note 3 running stock 4.4.2 (unrooted)
Please look into this, I cannot use Themer without being frustrated until this is fixed.

Hi,
We have found the cause of this problem, and have a ticket to fix it queued up.
If you have more than one calendar app, then after you choose one, tapping on a Calendar Themer Action icon or hotspot will always open the New Event instead of going to the calendar. If you disable or uninstall one of the duplicate calendar apps, then this won't happen.
This may also be related to the New SMS issue. Basically the same issue, just with the SMS app instead. The developers are still looking into this however.
We hope this helps!

In order to disable the default calendar app, I would need to be rooted, so that is not an option for me. Looking forward to a fix, and thank you for responding. I'll go up the GP rating to 4 stars for the response, 5 stars after it's fixed.

[Q] Customizing calendar widget

Just installed the Vegan Ginger RC1 and am having some trouble with the Google Calendar widget. Looks like it only displays 1 item for the current day no matter how big you stretch the widget. Anyone know a fix for this problem? Also seeing the same problem? Second, when you tap the widget and it shows the full calendar the text for items is not shown in most views - just a colored line. How can I see the title of items in the calendar in any grid-styl view?

Amazon market has business calendar free for today. Great app, with great widgets
Thanks for pointing that out! I noticed the app but didn't see a description of the widget so ignored it, even if free. I've now purchased it and will check it out, though it would be nice if the standard widget worked. This app doesn't support Honeycomb but maybe if we ever get it the standard app will work better and we won't need this app or it will be updated to support it.

LauncherPro notifications

Hey guys
I got the SGSII a few days ago and downloaded LauncherPro because I like the app tray to be vertical like the Nexus S.
Anyway, I have a "Messaging" shortcut on my homepage. The problem is that when I get a new message and have not looked at it, it does not show a little notification beside the icon (like a small "1" if I have 1 unread message).
Is there something I can do to fix this? It also does this with my emails (my email icon is one of the dock icons). I have "Unread SMS count" checked in LauncherPro preferences but it still does not work.
Thanks,
Elliott
This is from the the LP website...hope it helps...
Please note that for these notifications to work, you must either use the corresponding LauncherPro-style icon, or have the shortcut set for the stock phone/messaging app. It should work with other apps as long as you use the LauncherPro icon, and it should work with custom icons as long as you use the stock apps. Support for 3rd party apps with custom icons *might* come in the future but it’s not certain yet.
Thanks.
I do have a shortcut set for the stock messaging app and still doesn't work. No custom icons...
Elliott
you have gone into menu>preferences>dock settings and ticked the notifications for unread sms count havent you?
Ive a custom icon linking to handcent and its working fine with a little red 1 when i have an unread text.

I believe the newest version of Gmail "broke" the mail notofication in both ADWLauncher and LauncherPro. The ADWNotifier description says the following: "Since Gmail app updated to 2.3.5, we can no longer receive the unread count data. I'll try to find an alternative. " Nothing from LauncherPro so far.

From the LauncherPro site: I just received some pretty sad news. The API that LauncherPro uses to access your Gmail messages (used on the Gmail widget and the Gmail dock notifications) is being removed in the next version of the Gmail app for Android 2.2 and higher. Apparently the API does not meet modern security standards.
What this means for LauncherPro users is once you update to this new version, your LauncherPro Plus Gmail widget, and LauncherPro Gmail dock notifications will stop working, and even potentially crash the launcher if you try to use them (I don’t have access to this upcoming version yet, so I cannot fully test it).
I apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause, and hope that the Android team will come out with a revised API soon enough, so that we can re-gain our Gmail integration in LauncherPro.

Yes I have. And yes I've read that it seems to work for Handcent but not for the stock messaging app.

Exactly. Thank you. But my email is also not working in the dock...just using the stock email app with Hotmail.
Bump...anyone?
The latest gmail update changed the api structure so that all gmail notification apps (even launcher pro and touchwiz 4.5).
We have to wait for those apps to be updated to the new system.

[Q] calendar widget

Hi everyone
I recently changed to touchwiz ux launcher, coming from launcherpro. I was wondering if there was any widget like the go calendar widget, meaning a scrollable month overview, a little mark on the days with an appointment, and possibility to click on the days to make/view an appointment then. Thanks in advance
I would suggest you take a look at Jorte Calender:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.johospace.jorte
thanks, yeah i saw that but haven't really tried, but if i'm right that's a whole calendar app, so can this widget show the appointments of the stock app? or maybe if i sync with google in both apps... if anyone knows advice is still welcome, but i'll give that a try soon
just for the record, i've just found android pro widgets, it's calendar widget does exactly what i want, if anyone else has the same problem: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rdr.widgets.core

You can sync it with google to show the same appointments as the stock app. But android pro widgets is a good hint, looks promising. Maybe i can use it for myself.
thank you for this!! finally a go calendar like widget (better actually) that works at higher DPI resolutions !! (SIII at 240dpi)

Whatsapp Integration

Hi.
I use whatsapp for my communication purposes more than SMS/calls. I have selected my default messaging app on Themer as Whatsapp.
As expected, the messages icon takes me to Whatsapp. BUT, the unread messages count on the widget does not reflect the unread messages on whatsapp. Instead, it only shows the count of unread SMSs.
This is the major reason why I am staying away from Themer (which I don't wanna do!). Is this a common issue with everyone?
Themer Support, if this is an issue, is it being fixed?
Thanks

I know of no such launcher which supports badges on WhatsApp. AFAIK, there's no way to show unread message badge on the icon. Though you can use missedit for notification.

Hi AB256,
To be honest this is quite a difficult feat to achieve, even advanced launchers struggle to do this. However, with the advances of Zooper widget combined with Tasker it might be possible, but not anytime soon. Apologies for the inconvenience...

Still no way to do this ? I find this to be one of the very few things that themer falls short in ..

[Q] All widgets disappear

This has happened twice to me. My screen is all set up the way I like it and then all of a sudden all my widgets disappear. Then a pop up comes asking me to allow widgets and I do. This is very irritating because I dont want to keep making new widgets everytime.

It's a terrible bug that we're trying to sort out. It should be sorted out soon, but for now it's best to export your theme (Themer Setting - Advanced - Export, then you can find it in the Export tab in My Themes) as this will backup your current screen. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Good to know you're on top of it. It usually only happens to me after a reboot. I usually remember to export before rebooting, but it just happened to me as I woke my device.. of course this was after spending an hour or so working on a new layout :/

Don't worry this bug is on our top priority list, we'll do our best to get the bug removed as soon as possible.
Apps and Widgets Still Disappearing
Hi - I see this is an old thread but I found it through Google, and I am a little surprised to see this has been an issue for so long. I am experiencing this very issue. Sometimes app icons and widgets will disappear even without me rebooting anything - just swiping through different homescreens. I have a Galaxy Note 4. Please let me know if there's possibly anything I can do to keep this from happening - I can't count the number of times I've re-created a widget.
Also, I was wondering - does Themer affect the default homescreen (TouchWiz in this case)? I had my TouchWiz homescreen set up the way I like with apps categorized into folders, but when I switched back to it, I see that apps and widgets have disappeared or moved around on TouchWiz as well. My suspicion is somehow Themer affected it.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Same problem here. I use the Samsung Music widget, resized to show a bit of the playlist and it regularly disappears from my screen. very annoying!
Will this be fixed in 2015?
Also there is a regular hick-up in painting the home screen, like it's not loaded from memory. This really reduces the overall experience with this great launcher!

Hi,
It's a very complex bug to overcome, and we've eliminated it from almost every device. Soon this bug should be fixed on all devices. For now you can always use this quick fix:
1. Uninstall Themer.
2. Delete the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder (Remove the Exported folder if you have saved any themes).
3. Reinstall Themer.
If the problem still occurs we recommend selecting the Save Theme option when you long press on the homescreen, as this will temporarily save that theme. Hope this helps!
- Marco
I'm having the same problem with disappearing widgets on reboot, but only with my LG G2 D801 (not as much of a problem, but also present, on my HTC One M7). The "problem" widgets are the non-Zooper widgets such as Digical+, Poweramp, Chronus, etc.
Hope it gets sorted out, because this launcher is superb (I'll keep using it, but would prefer the problem be eliminated).
Driving me nuts!
I spend at least an hour setting up Zooper and the rest of my widgets. Then something happens forcing me to reboot my phone. Poof! All my hard work is gone. This is 6th time this has happened on my unrooted Note 4! I love this launcher and have become quite used to the theme I've set up. Nothing I've tried works, exporting, saving, nothing. Please fix this! I'm seriously thinking I'll have to find another launcher if it happens again. It's becoming to time consuming.
I have a similar issue. I accidentally drug my widget too close to the dock, which crashed nova launcher. After nova restarted, my widget won't show on the screen, but when I go directly into zooper app, it still shows the widget active in screen?!?
