Suggestion: Import Homescreen from another Theme - Themer General Discussion

I like a homescreen of a theme (that has 1-2-3... etc screens) and i like to import it to a theme I am creating.
Instead of recreating the whole thing from scratch it would be nice to have an option to import one or more screens from another them to the current theme

Calendar Widget for cyanogenmod

Is there a calendar widget like in sense that covers the whole screen? I tried a few but they dont get bigger when u edit them they take up more space.

has various sizes, you can also resize to fit full homescreen - if your launcher permits

Can you have Multiple Home screen Layouts

Can you have Multiple Home screen Layouts? Like Like swapping themes but layouts. I designed a bunch of custom wallpapers with corresponding Custom widgets. I'd love a way to just swap between different ones with out having to re-set up all the widgets.
I'm guessing this isn't possible but I figured I would ask. It's mostly so I can show my different designs to people.
Thanks
There is a laucher on play store caller buzz laucher just like u want. Also u can try other people's layout.
Search on play: buzz laucher beta

[Q] TouchWiz/iOS-like app sorting

On TouchWiz, I have a choice of Customizable grid, Alphabetical grid, or Alphabetical list. I use Customizable grid so I could arrange my apps like I did back then on iOS.
I am rooted and have Xposed installed but I can't seem to find a launcher or tweek to do the job. I plan to flash Cyanogenmod on my S2 soon but unfortunately the lack of this feature is holding me back.

Not sure where you have been looking but there are dozens of launchers that have this capability. I'd venture to say that the TW launcher is one of the least customizable options.

The majority of these have that option.

I tried Nova. It uses folders and tabs, but not actually arranging the icons myself. It still uses the plain alphabetical order

Apex: Allows rearranging but each change affects the other pages. It does not allow pages to be customized individually.
ADW: None
Holo: Same as Nova
Lightning: Hard and inconsistent.
Note: Not to be confused with the Home screens.
I can't seem to find a launcher to make the app drawer act like TouchWiz home/iOS
I understand now. Yea, I guess it's just mostly a Touchwiz thing. I even tried a knock off Galaxy launcher and it didn't even have the function. I was just confused with the comparison to iOS since they don't even have an app drawer. You're just moving icons around on the home screen which is pretty standard for almost any Android launcher.

have you tried next launcher
i don't know its contain this view but try it
Nah, Go Launcher and Next Launcher do offer the ability to move the apps around, but just like Apex, it affects the other pages. OP is looking for not only customized sorting, but also customized per page. So if they want 12 apps on the first page, and 10 on the next and 20 on the 3rd, etc.

Exactly :good:
Finally found one that does what you are looking for:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buzzpia.aqua.launcher
I've used it before, just forgot about that little feature as it's not really that desirable to me. It's quite a different kind of launcher, so you might or might not like the other features, but you have to take the good with the bad.
What I was looking for...and more!

[Q] Apply more than 1 theme?

Is there any way to use more than 1 theme? There's a couple of other launchers that will give you the choice of applying a new theme or merging it with the current one.
If not, is there a way to do it in the zip?

Hi,
Unfortunately not yet. You are able to keep the widgets, however we will only look at merging screens in the future. You can easily apply a new theme though by long pressing on the homescreen and selecting Browse Themes

[Q] Zooper Widget sizes between themes

Hello,
I have been playing around with Themer and the built in Zooper Widgets, and I made some adjustments to widgets that are in two different themes. I wanted to get them together into the same theme, so I did it by making room on the bottom half of the screen, creating a new widget and resizing it to the same size as the widget I want to copy from the other theme. I then loaded tapped the widget, which brought up the zooper config and opened the widget that was autosaved in the first theme. When it loaded, I noticed that everything was off. Everything was tiny and pulled away from the edges of the widget. I thought it wasn't a big deal, so I went in to change the overall widget scaling to make it fill the space, and instead it hit a point where instead of resizing, it started cutting off the sides of the widget. I tried manually changing the x and y locations of the widget items, and they just get cut off instead of expanding into the rest of the widget space.
Is there a way that I can force the widget to make use of the whole widget space instead of cutting off? I've attached a picture to show where there is the empty space on the sides of the widget. Please note that the "resize" option of the widget (when long pressing on the widget and getting the options to remove, resize or configure) shows the resize handles all the way to the left and right edges of the screen, yet the widget inside of it won't fill that space.
Or maybe I'm thinking about this the wrong way. Are there settings in themer that may be different from theme to theme that would cause this sort of thing to happen even when the widgets are being used on the same phone? I thought perhaps the desktop grid (which is 8x6 in these two themes) would do it, but that doesn't seem to matter in this case since they're the same.
Thanks for your help,
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for your detailed feedback. This is an odd problem, but that's what Zooper is all about.
This may be caused by a bug in Themer. Sometimes it says that the widget resize handles are touching the edges, when the truth is that the widget is still in the same place. Try adding it in on one side and see if the result is the same (or even multiple resize attempts). The reason I say this is because if the widget was truly the whole width of the screen - it would let you reposition the modules within the skin with ease. Let me know what happens.
Could you give me the name of both themes that you used, perhaps I could recreate the issue.

Hi Marco,
I was inserting a customized version of the bottom half of the "Woods" theme into a new screen on the "Glass" theme. I was using the one that was saved in my "Autosave" list rather than one I had manually saved. Also, I tried loading it into a regular Zooper Widget PRO widget within Nova Launcher. It took a time or two, but I was able to finally get it to work and it only required minimal tweaking to get it looking good again. What I may have done wrong was not resizing the widget to the correct size before loading a the saved contents into it. (Honestly I cannot remember for sure at this point since several days have gone by. ) For example, if the widget is supposed to be 6x4, I may have had it sized to 5x4 by accident first, inserted the widget contents from the autosave, and then tried to resize it to 6x4 after, causing the weird gaps.
If I see it happen again, I'll pay more attention to the specific circumstances and give better feedback.
Thanks again for the help,
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,
If that ever happens, you can always reload the skin within the Zooper Configuration Menu (instead of manually resizing everything), however this only works 70% of the time. You're welcome to watch some of our videos on the MyColorScreen YouTube channel, as there might be something to help you out there.
Regards,
Marco
