Hello everyone,
I will appreciate and will be very thankful for your thoughts concerning the following-
I am an animator with zero android programing knowledge.
I was thinking about creating and selling (on the android market) unique animations that are meant to be customized as a lockscreen.
As I do not really familiar with the programing world, I was wondering if there is a way/place/platform where I will be able to provide such animations so people will be able to buy and customize them within an already built app that enables such customization option( and even better, for other options as well, like- live wallpapers, splash animations, boot animations etc')
While looking on the web, I came across with people who sell lockscreen themes that are built upon "known" apps that enable lockscreen customization, but as I am new to this world I do not know how to do such thing as well as how to sell such app/themes.
As I only create animations(I export them as video files and able to convert them to any format necessary), I will be very happy to know if there is a simple solution to the above without the need to deal with programing but to still be able to somehow offer my work on the android market (or in other ways)
Thank you, in advanced, for any advice that might solve that challenge.
Kind regards,
I.

Just wondering what software you experienced themer's / modders use for working your magic.
Speaking specifically about your drawing / animation type programs.
Example, bootanimations, do you create the animation in something like after effects first, draw 100 pics individually, etc.
Themes, photoshop, paint.net, illustrator, etc.
Asking because if I want to start learning this, dont want to waste my time learning a program that might be harder.
For example would after effects, be a viable product to create bootanimations with?
Just wanted some input from those doing it and doing a great job,
Gadget, mcluvn, zhp pilot, retrokid, you guys post some great stuff, what do you all use.
Thanks?
Hi All,
First off, I LOVE themer! I've been using Apex Launcher for some time on my HTC OneX (rooted, ARHD 31.3 ROM) and I've often gazed with longing at the home screens that some people have designed using UCCW, knowing that I'll necer have the time (or the artistic flair) to design my own. Now I can!
But there seems to be SO many customization options on Themer, and I'm a little overwhelmed. For instance, I'm using a theme with an RSS feed as a central tile, but I'd love to be able to change that to a 'favourite apps' tile. I'm sure the option is there, but I can't work it out. So, has anyone developed/is working on/knows of a Themer user guide?
I work on a cruise ship and internet access is slow and expensive (£10 for 167 minutes!) so I really don't have time to surf around looking for answers to design questions.
SO, does such a guide exist? If so, please point me in the right direction. If not, is anyone up to the challenge?:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
The video is kind of like a user guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2474039

Thanks miles_muso for your kind words! Yes the video vhngu930 provided is a good one, but for your problem I can help here. See the thing is that you'd first have to delete that RSS icon and then hold down on the homescreen > Themer Actions > Favorite Apps. Now you'll have a massive heart (we're working on adding icon packs soon), which you'll be able to edit. If you hold down on the icon > edit > tap the icon, you'll be able to replace it with an icon image. You can maybe try here for icon images which may help, they by Jeppe Foldager and the small whites and darks should help for now: https://www.copy.com/s/DxsaXLatvBGf/Share/Icons
Hope this helps!
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.
Hello everyone.
I have a few questions and a request for someone who is up for creating an animated lock screen apk for android.
Is it possible to create a lock screen with an animation from attack on titan? (it's bassicaly a gate of a wall being blasted during unlocking of the screen - I will provide the animation from an avi file and covert it to a required resolution as well as format.)
Is it possible to create a universal apk for more than a single smartphone model?
Can it be done so that the animation is active when the phone is awake and then another animation proceeds during unlocking?
If anyone feels like creating such lock screen please feel free to engage in this thread.
Also, if you have any tips on how could I do it myself, any advice would also be appreciated

Czesc haha well, basically I would recommend getting into programming for this, Do research on a programming language like Java if you are going to be doing apps for Android, and Objective-C for Iphone, to develop I reccomend using Android SDK, its a Software Development Kit that helps test and build for specifically android. Usually the only thing that holds back an app from being universal on android is the OS requirements (2.3, 4.0.4, kit-kat, jelly bean, etc etc.) So that shouldnt be much of an issue. What it sounds like is you want to make almost like a custom live wallpaper for a lock screen, I would do research on how to do that, or research on how to modify the lock-screen. I hope this helps.
Thanks for the pointers.
I'm back on it, so I will do some research
Hi Everyone,
First of all, thanks for the amazing forum community. Ive been able to achieve more than I would have originally thought possible on this v30s ux/ui. It's my favourite piece of hardware that I've ever owned and my goal is to make the ux UI be worthy of it's amazing innards.
Id like the ability to modify the quick settings and notification pane - change the look/feel + icons, optimize features; but I have not yet been able to find a way to do this. I'm guessing it may not be possible, but I'd like to know if anyone has any ideas? I don't mind putting an unreasonable amount of hours into this; just keen to know options.
Cheers.
