Hi
I am new (like totally new) I haven't done any phone programming before and I haven't done any computer programming for years (yes I am 46, but I am a techno junky). I like the themes on the Samsung Themes Store, but I would like to make my own and use them. I have looked at how to make Icons etc, but I would like to know how to get them onto my phone without using another Launcher. I have looked into Samsung Developers, but being a beginner I don't have any designs and I wouldn't know where to start.
I also tried following a thread '[GUIDE] Make your own Themes for your Samsung device' by mygalaxya, but I couldn't find where to download the Java JDK & Android SDK. The link takes me to Android Studio which I have already downloaded.
Would someone be so kind as to help me, from the beginning? Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
P.S. I'm not stupid just need some guidance

bump Someone please post
There is no easy way. Anything that is worth doing is always worth the work you need to do.
Here is a Java-Script Builder
Don't know if you know anything about writing script or anything but you can PM(private message) me with an email address and I'll send you a zipped attatchment with a program for windows pc. It's called Sencha-Touch 1.1.1 App Maker.
I'm sure if your running windows on your PC and your here then you already have java runtime. Just update it if necessary at Java.com. Just click where it says "Do I Have Java" to check and update your version.
You will probably also have to go to Oracle(the java website) and download and install the "Java SE 7u2" for developers from the download section.
If you Need direct links to the Java's, I will include them in email to you.
Hope this gives ya some insight.
Can't get the zip to upload to an email but can give ya the website link in one. Don't think I'm allowed to post outside links.

Have you tried out DaVinci Studio? it's a dev tool based on HTML5 and JavaScript...
You can get it for free at their website and ask questions on their forum if you need help with it.
Eclipse + Android SDK
I highly recommend using the standard Eclipse setup with the Android SDK. Java is pretty easy to learn, and can create games that are very simple to complex. I was confused where to start off as well, and tried out AndEngine. There isn't much documantation for AndEngine, so I followed Kilobolt's tutorial on game development. One of the best tutorials of programming that I have ever seen. I am working on a platformer at the moment, and everything is going pretty well. In simple, google "Kilobolt". He has tutorials for setting everything up. However, the tutorial begins with standard Java development, and Android comes into play when you are ready to port the game. Good Luck. :good:
Thanks for the info, I'll check it out.
Just wondering if anyone has had/found a solution to adding custom icon applications to GO Dev's online based Theme creator, i use onthefly to make a backup copy of app apk's in which to upload to their website, this should allow me to then change the icon for that app but every time i try to upload any apk file i get an error when annualizing the file!
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks

Same boat.. no paddles!
Hey Jason unfortunately I'm trying to figure this out as well. Its frustrating because I have all 93 icons they suggest for you to make but there are MANY more top icons that we should be creating if users are expected to purchase or be interested in our themes. One of the main issues is .. there is NO forum for their online theme factory specifically. It seems most people would rather just program the .apk themselves. The only issue there is many of us aren't programmers and are using the theme factory for that sole reason. I'm going to make a new thread for people like us who are using the new Go Themes Factory and see if we can't get some more help with the process.

A tutorial is the best way to get started... try EasyAppCreation to get all the help you need :good:
yes a tutorial is the best thing to begin with
the first place you should go is android developers' website : https://www.google.com/url?q=http:/...ds-cse&usg=AFQjCNEZdpuRo54zKfwYLJXUmICi3s2HUA
but of course you will first have to learn java (xml,sql as options) :http://www.freejavaguide.com/corejava.htm
if you already have some linux knowledge it will be of good help to understand how android realy works , i know it souds stupid but you should first of all start from wikipedia to find out more about android : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android
for learning there is also Android IDE (free) that you can find on play store it is an ide for android that works on android , you can find on play store also some references about java programing language and tutorials for begining android development , ps: you can also make apps with phonegap if you are already a web developer , but i dont advice you to use phonegap for heavy projects as you dont have full control of the performance : http://phonegap.com/developer/
note that a version of phonegap on play store that works on android (paid) , it is made by the same team that made AIDE , dont forget about html5 apps also (they are multiplatform but need a browser with html5 support) , i hope i helped you .
Hello friends, I am new to the world of Android themes. I recently found KatKit and I would like to learn more about the tool and the development of themes. I would like to know if there is GIMP documentation for Samsung themes support and how to use it to start with easy things. Somebody could help me?
