I bought a theme off the market for GoSMS and GoContacts (the theme also has ones for GoLocker and GoLauncher as well which work fine). I have downloaded and installed the themes and gone through the steps to apply it but it does not show the theme. I had read that there is an issue with themes running Jelly Bean and typically if you can get the dev to email you the apk it will work. I have tried contacting the dev multiple times with no response. Does anyone know of any other way to get these items to work correctly? I know there are other options than the ones I selected but I really liked the look of this theme and am kind of picky. The items are linked below if it helps:

Personally I would avoid Go products all together. You will most likely not hear back from the devs. They are known for not replying to people even if it involves HUGE security concerns with their apps.

Having just moved from an iPhone im still learning here so bear with me. It seems as installing custom themes and/or customizing app icons is not as easy as installing winterboard and throwing a theme up. I'm a big buuf/mattahan fan and I've had that theme on my iphone since my 2G. After doing some research it seems that there are a couple of ways to change an app icon. First I could open up the .apk and insert the new icon, then resign the package and put it back on the phone. Second there seems to be an app called metamorph which is similar to winterbord but only works on certain phones.
Am I missing some easier way? I'm willing to spend some time on a package that I could share with others if I knew how.
Thanks

Metamorph does work on the vibrant if you were wondering
Some theme makers also make update.zip's that you can flash from recovery, but most prefer metamorph because its more universal.
also if you use a replacement launcher like ADW launcher which is on the market, then you can download themes from the market and simply choose them from the launchers menu.
In fact I beleive ADW launcher has a buuf theme.
theres also a keyboard app on the market called better keyboard that has a buuf theme (better keyboard is a paid app though)
Does anyone one know if there is an app out there that can automatically switch your launcher theme every X hours? I currently am running Bionix-V 1.3.1 Fishman mod (Final 2) and use Go Launcher EX. I have several themes for the launcher, but I also use Zedge to update the wallpaper every hour for some variety. However, when the wallpaper changes, it may not match the theme, so I end up applying a new Go theme (which also applies the wallpaper for that particular theme), then I have to go back into zedge and re-apply the wallpaper from zedge. I know -- it doesn't really make any sense, but I get tired of staring at the same theme/wallpaper. If there is an app (it might have to be launcher-specific) that allows the themes to rotate automatically, I would probably stop using zedge altogether.
Anyone?
Apparently I am the lone Android user among the millions worldwide that cares about automatically switching themes. How sad.
Not at all. It's just that, as far as I can tell and have seen, such a thing doesn't exist. You would need either a plugin for an existing launcher, or such a thing built into the launcher itself. Your best bet is to contact the developers of each launcher with the suggestion. It's a good idea and I'm sure at least one of the developers would give it a shot.
Thanks
Thanks, Johnny. In a way, I was kind of hoping I was just bad at searching.
Hello everyone, new guy here.
I hope I'm in the right place. Yesterday after a couple of days debating I went with the RUU path. I updated my HTC One X (att) to JB thinking it was the best way to avoid any issues. Well I must say I'm happy to see improvements with Sense but my issues lay with Launchers. Previously I used Next Launcher (I had very simple backgrounds and themes, I only preferred it for the freedom it gave me with icon and widget placement. Maybe a few other perks). Anyhow, now that I've updated to JB these launchers no longer work properly. I've tried Nova, Next and Go EX. None of them apply completely. One example would be Next, I install a theme, go to settings to apply it and it says "preview cannot be found" (or something like that). It does apply to some degree, I can change the dock icons to the themes design but only a few of them. All in all, it seems as if the theme gets half of it right. I also tried to use Go SMS, and it also wont apply completely.
So I hope this isn't all child's play, other forums chewed me up and said these are toys and lame and all that stuff... If anyone has any ideas or solutions it would be greatly appreciated. As of now it seems as if I am going back to Sense for the time being.
I'm also considering rooting. I really just don't like the phones stock look. So if this is a good solution, let me know.
Thanks, The New Guy.
I've been tryng for days to get the Razr M launcher, apps & circles widget set up on my original Razr running JB. I have seen several posts on how to do this, but all of the guides seem to be outdated for ICS. I have found downloads of what claim to be the proper launcher, with a supposedly whitish background for the google bar, but when I actually try to get it set up, it shows up clear like the old one. Also, things like the messaging.apk and the quickview.apk just flat out fail to install no matter what. I'm just having all sorts of crazy problems. I've been through 3 full data wipes, and just have no idea where to go from here. Anyone have a current, JB compatible, guide on how to do this the right way? I'm really frustrated

Thanks for this. It seems to have worked. One question though, instead of the nice, new Google search bar at the top with the microphone, I get the old one that has 2 Google logos, and it can't be removed. Any reason for that? Also, the Quickview never seems to work, no matter what notifications I get, there is never a badge over any apps for the count. I would really like to fix those two things. Thanks

circles widget with nova launcher
Is there anyway to run circles widget on nova launcher? I know moto cracked down on sites hosting the files
I click on anything and nothing happens at all. Themer works great otherwise as long as the theme doesn't have any zooper widgets. I'm sure that I'm looking over some miniscule settings but for the life of me I can't find out how to get any module to open when clicked. It does this for every theme that uses zooper and all my favorite themes pretty much use themers zooper implementation. I have all my default apps setup and I've tried deleting folders and reinstalling everything but nothing has helped. I've never really used zooper before so Im not that familiar with it tbh. If anyone has any ideas that would be awesome. Just to clarify the theme displays correctly but none of the clickable objects on the homescreen work.
I'm having the exacts same issues! I have a Note 3 (4.3 original rom, rooted) and tried everything from deleting Themer, Mycolorscreen folder, etc! Nothing works! Just like @jack_slapped said theme shows up fine but any time a theme has a zooper widget - nothing happens when tapped, tried even changing the ontap action in zooper. Tried many themes and they all have the same issues!
Anyone has any idea?

Hey there,
This is an odd bug. If you're running rooted apps/settings, make sure that everything is as stock as possible. If we see more users reporting this bug we will escalate the matter. Sorry for the inconvenience.
@ThemerSupport is it because I have xposed modules? The issue is still there after recent Themer updates.

This could be the case, as almost every Xposed module that changes the display will affect Themer. Turn them off one by one to see which module might be affecting Themer, then let us know, as we might know of a workaround.
@ThemerSupport Looks like it's the App setting module (which lets you change your dpi and screen resolution for certain apps) -- I had it changed for Themer sometime ago as my Note 3 shows all themes too small (all widgets are too small) with EVERYTHING unaligned if not.
Any workaround for that?

We're not too sure a workaround, as every device is different. The only advice we recommend is to either leave the settings for Themer as stock as possible, or browse this forum to see if someone else has found a fix. Technically Themer isn't meant to work with rooted settings, but if it does, then that's a bonus
