Ok, Its not a problem with the Go Dev Team, nor is it a problem with the Go Store or any of their application running on any phone.
Im fairly new to all these launcher business, and themes, and the XDA forums helped a lot. Learned about the launchers from here (currently using go Launcher ex) and how to create a theme (using go Themesfactory). Also in the forums, i learned how to publish on the android market.... Which leads me to my point, do any of you guys know how to publish in the go theme store?
I was looking for any information on the go store. I already tried emailing the go dev team but so far they havent responded. I just wanted more exposure for my themes. Also the fact if you look at the themes on the go store, not all are made by the go dev team so it means there is a way to publish with them..
Any of you guys have any idea?

The themes have to be approved by sending them to the GO developers team. To be honest your better off using the market. Many people are pushing to have alot of the spamming crap removed from the go apps and some have even stopped using go apps till the device team comes cleaning about data mining and collecting concerns that have come to light.

Thanks. Altho im a bit worried about that Data Mining and collection you are mentioning. Is it inherent in the go dev teams apps and the themes they make or is it also included in the apps other people make using their tools? ie: Go Themes Factory

It seems to be built into the core apps. Have a look at the main Go SMS thread. Myself and another mod have asked questions concerning it and as of now have gotten no reply about it.

I've read the info at SamMobile (related to SamFirmware).
Anyone tried the ROM? From the comments, there are still plenty of bugs...
Edit: Whoever rated this thread 1star is a true moron and a real idiot.
This is a developer site where people do use beta versions.

There are several threads around here already concerning people using this ROM, so yes, people have used it. General consensus is that it's too unstable for daily use.
I'd be tempted to 1-star this thread as well due to lack of searching on your part.

Well I'll be nice and respond to you.
I've played around with the XXKP1 ROM and for the most part, it was surprisingly stable.
The default launcher IS quite temperamental, so I installed the Trebuchet launcher and 90% of the FC's disappeared. This launcher is a MUST on these leaked ROMs for the time being.
In order to get the best possible experience with these leaked ROMs you need to:
* Install the Bezke XXKP1/2 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1393569) - Flashable through CWM and is pre-rooted and also has the RIL fixes for 3G data
* Change the default keyboard to the standard Android one as soon as you can one to stop the keyboard FC's.
* Install the Trebuchet launcher (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=821149&d=1324230099) - and place it in /system/app folder. It should open when you press the home button. Set it as the default launcher.
* Stop the media scanner from running - it's a BIG battery drainer - go to Settings/Applications/Running and stop it there, and also stop the cached process
* Turn off key press sounds and lock screen sounds - having these on causes a continuous partial partial wave lock called 'AudioOut_1' - battery drainer
* Install these Calendar apks (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19448865&postcount=2) in /system/app to get the calendar working. Once in /system/app, click on them both to install them. The Calendar will now work
* If you want to use the Contacts.apk and Phone.apk from the 'vanilla' ICS ROM (instead of the installed TW ones) download those APK's (http://www.multiupload.com/6T0019180O) and put them in /system/app. Don't install the MMS.apk though it will break things!
* Turn off the red border from appearing on some screens by going to the Dev Tools App > Development settings > strictmode visual indicator > put it in OFF MODE - then reboot for this to take effect
Battery life then falls to normal levels. Be aware though that when you connect your phone to your computer to transfer files etc, that a media scan will be run again when you disconnect. You'll have to force stop the media scan again otherwise it will keep running.
What rom? That's been kept quiet hasn't it? Certainly no info or discussions anywhere on these forums about it
Everyone will 1-star this because you didn't bother to search before starting a new thread on the same topic!

Are you for real? I've been a forum member on many sites (not to mention developing vBulletin forum software) since forever, I know how to search. Not to mention that the SamMobile post was made today...
Edit: My bad, I apologize. Just found the thread now... it was not on the first page of results when I initially searched and I never look further than a page (like anyone else I guess). Still, rating a thread 1star is really a baby game. Why not just post the link instead? This is a discussion forum where people communicate, not a Nazi camp where the Moron Patrol votes 1's on everything they think is stupid.
Searching, always searching...
The search here can be finicky, but a google search on site:forums.xda-developers.com is generally good, and fairly up date as well.
Hi! Is there any way to sort search results on the Google market e.g. after downloads or views or rating? Thanks.

Not currently possible in the app, but it should be possible on the website.
Yeah on the website it works but whyyyy is Google not integrating it in the app.
Isn't there the possibility to integrate this function in a mod somehow?
Thx

Even on the website, the only options are by Popularity and by Relevance.
I wish i could sort by Rating, by Developer, alphabetically...
google seems to make it on purpose not to let you sort the results... MADAFAKAZ!! :x

It can barely find information about anyone asking about sorting results from play store. xda developers must be only ones who think outside the box.
How we can make it sort every search results as i want.
Like downloads, stars e.t.c.?
Sorting seems to have been removed from the website as well. Damn it Google, why must you turn everything to ****.
I've just had to reinstall after a full reset, and this has to be one of the worst aspects of the play store. I wish I understood programming, but is there anyone can make an app to fix this lack of sortability and lack of filtering?
I'm with @Newtoys, why does google always go one step to far and mess up perfectly good things?
Agreed: Google makes it Harder, not Easier!
Searching for a small business collaboration app
Only returns results with app that have the word "collaboration" in the title?
If I was a developer, I would be reluctant to ever get involved,
how are potential customers supposed to find your App if you don't give it a name that sound too much alike all the other apps in the same category.
And Furthermore: I don't care about the icon, I want to be able to scan an encapsulation of the capacity of the app... Who cares what color the button is going to be on my screen !!!
If Google is the "Ultimate Search Engine" why then can't I use a Google search to go through the Play Store Apps..?
NO !!! Instead it returns a listing of Other Web Sites and the Apps that they recommend ?
I am with you guys on this. Been wondering this for years now. I also found it weird that when I try and Google search this issue, this thread is the only one relevant to our problem. I'd be willing DL a modified play store app even. The worst is when I want to see about any new/updated apex themes and I have to browse a library of themes I've seen before.

lol, exact same f##@ up when im going thru Layers themes !! Usually we need the latest updated themes since they work as expected with updated AOSP Roms...but stupid google wont let me sort a list of apps by the 'last updated' date !!
Any 3rd party apps that browse the entire play store app catalogue and have the ability to sort them by their last updated date ?
same here... i want to sort apps by it size since the day start using play store but never see such feature or any proper useful sorting method in play store.. and when google for sprting apps, i end up right here... hope some1 has the solution for this... seriously...
Hello guys.
I have been a part of the Themer Beta team. I guess many of you are too. I think you noticed that we can only export the themes as zip files and in no way publish these to the Play Store to get ratings or proper feedback.
I was thinking about releasing an app (open source) which everyone can use within their themes to publish them to the Play Store (unless the Themer Team makes an official feature like that available).
Any ideas or recommendations as such are welcome.
It is a nice idea for sure. But i would suggest u first talk it out with the themer team if they have any similar plans ...
i think they are working just like mycolorscreen web. Love? button and adding some extra feature like Download. And also link the web acc with android acc so that the theme will automatically download to your phone from web.

I did have a talk with the admin at MCS. He said that all themes are to be sent to him. Its kind of a downer for an app with such capabillties. More people would have participated and published their themes if it had this feature since they would have got a bit of appreciation and feedback from users too.
I found a workaround which we can use to publish the themes to Play Store until its added officially (that is if its ever added).
I'll publish it at night.

Some other would also want to do that. Could you tell us about the workaround?
As the matter of sending themes, there should be an option to publish the theme within the app (something like "Request publishing" that will export and send current theme to MSC Admin via e-mail app).

I was just about to make the thread now. Its open source. Check it out in about 10 mins.
Here's the thread if anyone wants to publish your themes to the Play Store.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475517
Take a look if you are interested in it.
I have a question, coming I'm sure from a place of profound ignorance, but couldn't people upload the .zips to dropbox and others could download them and put them in the themer folder themselves?

Already did that. But you need to play with number to fit urs. Others res might be different from urs.

First of all, you have to download themes from the inbuilt browser to use the themes. Even if u put the zip in the exported folder, you can't see the screenshots. You have to apply the theme, export it again, then apply again to see the screenshots. Too much hassle.
Why not just put the zip and screenies in 2 folders of the app which would do everything for you?
And I made this especially for themers who would like to publish themes to the Play Store which is much more convenient IMO. Others can just mail their theme to the admin at MCS to have them hosted privately.
Not sure where to put this since there is no Bugs/Suggestions thread in this section, so I'm putting this here.
@ThemerSupport
A few suggestions if you don't mind.
Add support for custom ROMs since almost every launcher out there has support for this.
Option to publish themes to the Play Store. Its a huge drawback I found for themers who publish to the Store. (The only reason I published a workaround for it since it lacks official support)
Make a Bugs/Suggestions thread.
Great job you all did!
nearly total noob here.
I got a Huawei Valiant, rooted and with CWM flashed.
I have been compiling files to produce various ROMS; one ROM with only original Huawei apks, one with all the bloat stripped out, and one with all the elite cool hacking goodies.
While I am able to easily tweak my ROM on-device, I am unsure about how to take one of my back ups and make it a distributable ROM without any personal data.
I have tried to search, but to be honest this site doesnt seem to like my phone one bit.
Thanks in advance!
No responses???
I'm really wondering whats the point.
79 views. 3 are me. And no one who read is interested or helpful?
Oh well, I guess no one out there cares.
Update:
I think I can take a nandroid backup and morph it to a proper ROM release. Still trying to figure it out. IMG, tar, etc format issues.
Have one backup of non-user data that is Huawei branded 100%. Huawei apps plus AOSP apps.
Runs smooth.
Got another wannabe ROM, Tor integrated as system app. All data is proxied around the world. All ad networks disabled through Hosts. This 'ROM' also has a bit torrent client, RDP/VNC, WiFi Scanner/Diagnostics, and 4 browsers. Also has working tether and ROOT. Primarily for my job use.
The last wannabe 'ROM' I'm working on is a completely stripped ROM. Having problems getting all the Google gone.
I could desperately use knowledgable brains.
Please reply even if you can't help. It is a LOT of work, and it looks like no one else cares... and it is too damn hard to read hundreds of half-dead threads for help.

Good Stuff!!
Looking for Custom Rom for Huawei Valiant as well. Got it cheap from MetroPCS
Please keep us updated.
Well, after a hard drive crash and a few soft bricks... I think I'll start by posting individual steps for individual programs/installations...
As a brief example:
Windowed Apps on the Free
Be rooted (I used impactor by sauric)
Use Xposed framework from here.
Xhalofloatingwindows. Install it.
Here's how to set it up
Blah
Blah
And then install this app, holoshortcut. The open source one works great to make shortcuts to existing apps that run in windowed mode.
Make sure the apps are not running when you click the windowed icon, else the original full screen app loads (force stop Browser then click the new shortcut so it loads windowed)
Running the non windowed shortcut resets the app to children until you force stop it and run it from the new icon.
There's also blah blah to make a blah blah etc.
Interested in that infos?

I'm sorry I can't offer any help im just aNOOB myself and was inquiring for a custom ROM with a custom theme (pink) possibly, and came up on ur post, I have a little trouble understanding the whole process but I'm learning and even though I can't offer any assistance to you I think your work on this project is highly un-appreciated and over-looked. You deserve a response from someone knowledgeable and as dedicated ad yourself. I have a Huawei Valiant and I rooted with the same method was excited to install a custom ROM but as you noticed there isn't much to work with and unfortunately I'm not as educated in this area as you are. I hope u find some help and if so send some my way......thanks
How did you root your device? I just got my Valiant and need to root it to get all this bloat off, theme & mod it and get my audio back up to par with V4 A, which requires root.
* I just saw the answer posted above.....derp Impactor to gain root

Hello xda bro's!!
As each one of us,used to sometime,somehow,somewhat had a/some favourite apps that was using for years..and dev's for some reason abandoned our favourite app..I thought it would be nice idea to mention those apps,just in rare care devs listen to our requests and bring them back!!We always respect devs and their work!!
So let me begin..I would love with all my heart to bring back Boat browser and swype+dragon keyboard!!!What about you??

Nice idea.Also xmessenger privacy,wifi protector and secdroid.
Photoshop would be nice to have back with an update
Agree bro.Friendcaster for facebook also.It was way best app ever I used for fb.Many settings and it had a bookmark option,so you didn't miss a single post.
Forgive me for my noobness... but there used to be a app called Clockr. Its still available to download or at least it is in my Google Play store. But it is made for like my Droid X. So it doesnt work on my s8+. Anyway, I am huge on what my phone looks like in the theme, apps and fun things I can add. I miss my Clockr.

A little bit off topic but what I would really want is to get back the old version of facebook. It was so simple and fun. Now it's just a network for affiliate marketing and ads. It used to be a real community site.

I totally agree.I suggest in many forums from various devs to make either a fb magisk module,either a modded app,either to add option to their custom fb app to have option to see feeds ONLY photos from our friends.FB has became as you said an advertising place.Algorithm also has changed to a way that you don't see friends photos,just pages feeds.It has became so boring..
