[Q] Restoring/Reusing Icons From Theme - Themer General Discussion

I've been tweaking my phone's theme and i'm absolutely stumped on this.
I'm using the "Twilight" theme as a starting point. While messing around and adjusting settings, I deleted one of the dock shortcuts. Only problem is, I can't restore it. I can make a new shortcut to the app I want, but the icons for the theme are nowhere to be found. So now I have these really nice icons and one giant ugly icon that doesn't match, with no way to replace it with the icons from the theme itself.
Is there a way to fix this? I don't want to reload the theme because that's just avoiding the problem.

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately the icons aren't stored on the device in a neat and easy to use way. I'll try contact the designer today and see if he still has the icons. Else the only way would be to restore the theme. Saving a theme after every big change also helps in case you lose an icon/widget.

Thanks. It's alright if you can't get the icons. I like the theme, and I might make my own icons for the apps that aren't included, so worst case I just need to add a few more.

[Q] possible to hide status bar in lock screen?

hey guys. is it possible to hide the status bar from the lockscreen? I'm good with .xml, .smali or any other kind of edit. i just need to be pointed to where I would need to go.
I tried searching and came up empty handed. i'm trying hard to like the lock screen. i already changed the backgrounds (much better now), currently working on a custom lockring, last thing would be to hide that ugly status bar...it's only showing me what the lockscreen already shows anyways.
thanks for the info.
Download the app Widget Locker...U can remove taskbar and also a lot of customization to your style
I'm a big WidgetLocker fan, with my own custom themes made and all that when i was on the Evo 3D. i'm trying to move on with the times and use this nifty sense lockscreen. just has a few kinks to work out.
but if i dont end up fixing it to my liking soon enough i'll download widgetlocker again.
anyone else have any ideas as to how to get this done?
If you go into titanium backup, and freeze statusbar, it will do what you want, it will also remove in regular screen, possibly decompile lockscreen.apk and see if you can do it there.

that is not what I want to do at all. I don't want to make the status bar unavailable everywhere in the system. just within the lockscreen.
if I knew where to go, I can make .xml and .smali edits or whatever else. I just don't know how to search for things from scratch :-(

I'm just guessing, so this could be a useless thought, but... I think checking in idlescreen base would be a good start. You wouldn't probably want to mess with this in system UI because that would likely just hose the whole bar. Team d3rp seems to have maybe figured out making the bar transparent, which would leave the icons and if course be clear everywhere else too... but it's still finicky across the roms, so not quite done yet. pstevep is the man, and maybe could help? See what you can find and then maybe send him a pm.

bump, bump, bumpity bump.
any way to do this?
i would say edit lockscreen.apk (decompile and fish around) and also look in a androidpolicy.jar probably some lines of code your could remove/add to make it happen.
clever idea by the way. i am still trying to resolve issues with my idea of clearing notifications from the lockscreen by double tapping the home key. had it figured out for a little bit but it was causing apps to force close :/
again i like your idea... i probably wouldn't use it myself simply because i wouldnt be able to see important details or notifications etc without unlocking the phone

[Q] Custom Icon Pack

I'm working on creating my own Launcher Icons. How can I place them in an installable pack? As they are now, I have to save the images and then custom replace each one. I'd like to be able to switch back and forth when I feel like changing my theme.
I've been searching the forums and google for some help with this, but I can't seem to find anything that truly answers my question.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
On the plus side, the icons are coming out very nicely!

Check this out, not sure if this is what you're looking for though.

Thanks! It's a start! I use ADW so maybe there's a similar process.
i can suggest you a method to make a swappable theme.
Take an unused adwtheme.apk and edit it, changing the /res/drawable-hdpi .png icons you 'd like to use
Re-zip it and resign it (or simply drag an drop in the original apk i guess)
It worked for me. I can apply the icons using the adw option in themes, selecting iconpack only. And simply swap icons by applying another theme iconpack the same way
Hope it can help.

[Q] Save modified Theme with widgets?

Hi,
If added two widget to one theme, than I've changed the theme. Unfortunately Themer didn't remeber my widgets when I go back to the first theme.

just what i was looking for!
Thank you!
This was exactly what I was looking for, but seems I'm gonna have to watch it somewhere with sound on
Still not 100% good but better!
Well, I dunno if I should just have edited my old, but anyways..
I saved my theme, worked fine, I thought it would help to not be so hasty in unlocking my rebooted phone. But it didn't.
At least with this I could restore my old extra widgets, except, it seems, when a widget needs to set some settings before it is shown correctly, even exporting the theme doesn't work for that particular widget. So my flashlight widget (in which I needed to choose an icon for the light) was invisible, when I unlocked widgets I could find it though, but couldnt get to its settings. And my gtasks widget which needed an account was just a white useless blob, that I needed to remove and then reinsert.
Thanks anyway

[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

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

[Q] How to modify an already done theme ?

Hi,
There are some themes I love and I would like to use, but some details doesn't seem good to me, such as shortcuts. Is there any way to modify those shortcuts in order to make mine, but keep using the particular theme ? I didn't find anything about this...
Thanks for your help

Hi,
Editing a theme is easy - simply long press on the homescreen - select Advanced - Unlock Widgets. Now you can add/remove widgets and shortcuts till your hearts content. Then when you are satisfied with your theme repeat the process to lock the items into place

Awesome, thanks ! I was looking for this during hours... Didn't find anything on the Themer website :/
Another question, I have sometimes a pop-up with "crash data failed to send, retry later", but I can't find where to send it, and the pop-up doesn't disappear... I have to uninstall-reinstall the app in order to fix that... I have a One Plus One on CyanogenMod 11 38R
Semi related question, is there anywhere I can download images of the standard icons you use for smart categories? I like a lot of themes but would like to change the categories on them and to do that need the images to match the theme.
Thanks
