Artist Photo - Themer General Discussion

When I browse themes, it looks like the artist/album photo for the currently/recent track should show. However, when I apply a theme it doesn't ever show a photo. Not sure if is supposed to show, but if so, please advise
Edited to add another question: Is there anyway to disable the "Show off Your Theme" notification?

Hi, does it matter what music player you use? Some music players provide the album artwork, so try a few others and let us know.
Unfortunately the Show Off notification can't be turned off, as this helps us spread the word, which in turn helps us keep Themer free

Thanks for the reply! It doesn't work with the default HTC One music app, but I will experiment with others. Also, thanks for explaining the rationale behind the Show Off notification as well. :good:

Ah yes, manufacturer music players aren't supported yet, as it's an extremely resource-consuming process.

so I assume then that we will have the ability to remove this once themer is a paid app

How to edit the stage UI Widgets ?

I am new owner of the Unlocked Streak. It came with the 2.2 and I am kinda loving it. Have already applied the performance pack and the quadrant scores have kind of doubled from stock ~800 to ~1450 with the performance pack.
Overall I am really loving this device.
Just need a little help in few lousy areas (have already tried searching the forum/web)
1) How do you edit stage UI widgets ? I need to bookmark my webpages on the Web widget but I dont see any option to add my own pages.
2) There seems to be some kind of issue with my Contact widget as well. I have like 150 contacts on my SIM card and I tried importing them to my phone. I could do that but when I get into the Contacts Widget/application, I am just not seeing anything there. Instead it tells me to do the same thing that I just did, that is to import contacts.
I used some other contacts application from the appstore and the other app can see those 150 contacts but again I am unsure if that app is seeing the SIM contacts or not.
3) On the same lines, can I bookmark my favorite music albums in the Music Widget ? Currently everything seems to be random in that widget.
I know I might look like a noob but for a while I am with this new possession of mine.
Looking forward for the help from you guys.

The widget reflects the favorites that you have saved in the browser. Edit and/or save favorites in the browser and they are reflected in the widget.

The contact widget displays the favorites you have set in your contacts list. When in the contacts app hit the menu key and select display options. My contacts all are from my Google account, you may have to select something there to show contacts that are only on the phone. Once you can see your contacts in the contact app tap one to display details and then tap the start in the upper right corner to add it to your favorites (and to the widget).

I don't see any way to create shortcuts on or customize the music widget. You can create shortcuts to a playlist. Hold you finger on an empty area of the screen until the menu pops up.Select Shortcuts and then scroll down to Music Playlist. Tap on that and you will get a list of your playlists to choose from. The shortcut created will open the music player with that playlist. You can put the shortcuts in a folder to keep from hitting them when you don't intend to.
Edit: I also see that the widget displays a quick link to all of your playlists.
Thanks brother. Finally i was able to make the desired changes.

The thanks button helps make the forum better.
It keeps a bunch of thank you posts from showing up in long threads. Sometimes the thanks post comes so far after the post it thanked you have no clue who the person is thanking.
A post with a LOT of thanks shows that it was useful and therefore the content might be given more weight.
A user with a lot of thanks show that the content they post is valued by others.
Users who use the thanks button contribute to the forum by making it known which posts are useful, which users are helpful and keeping threads shorter.
It's a very good system. And you're welcome - enjoy the Streak.

[Q] Folder Fustrations

Is there any way to have folder settings transfer from one theme to the next?
I tend to stay away from themes that use folders because it is such a chore to delete apps I don't have or use in the folders and replace them with the apps I need every time I change themes.
Lots of themes have custom icons for Bank, Fitness, etc. that are not listed in the app preferences. I love the icons but the fact that I don't uses the apps associated with them, makes them useless.
Can I change the app associated with the icon and have the setting transfer from one theme to the next?

So true, but that's why the developers still mention that its a beta version of the app and is still under testing. And we can help them by making it better by sharing our feedback and sending the complaints and bug reports to te developers so that they can improve it and add more options to the app.
You can visit this link: support.themerapp. com to report the bugs and share your feedback.

Hi, many of the new themes use Smart Folders, that link up with your Smart Categories, which means that these folders will remain the same no matter which theme you're using. Also in the next few weeks you should be able to change the alphabetical options

Please answer this question. I know that the content is prescribed by the theme developer but to be honest I do not play any games on my phone. I do not mind the Category being empty as I may download games in teh future but I would like to remove the icons in the folder.
Is this something that can be carried out by editing the theme settings directly?

They answered this in another thread but their answer was to reinstall the app which did no good and they have not responded since.

Hi, if you are referring to the sponsored apps (such as Candy Crush), you can remove them by going into: Themer Settings - Manage App Drawer - Hide Sponsored Apps. These apps are simply used to help bring in resources and keep Themer free. The option to remove them from the Smart Category folders found on your homescreen will also added in soon.

Many thanks for the response.
Unfortunately following those steps does not clear them or hide them when the Category they are in is tapped.
I will await the update to allow them to be removed.

[Q] What is the theme builder application?

How does a person create a theme and then use it? I'd like to have very specific things on my theme but other than adding to an existing theme, i can't seem to take away from an existing theme, how do I create a new one from scratch?
I know they say watch the vid but if you are like me you need to see it in writing,it makes more sense to me that way.Anyway the easiest way is to grab a theme and change it around/edit,get a feel for the program then create your own by changing wallpapers,icons,weather etc.A lot of themes now won't let you edit them I have found,however download any of mine and edit away they are all editable,as are a few more posted here but names don't spring to mind,none in my opinion are any better or worse than each other they just have their own little attributes that makes them unique in their own way.So go on and play around m8,it will be fun.

Thanks, I cannot stand those youtube videos that "show" you how to do things. I find them tedious and unusable. I'd rather just get some instructions, an application and let me do it. Yet, so many seem to post "youtube instructions" i write this stuff for a living and have never found a video more useful than written instructions. However, that's my bias.
I'll go check out some of yours.
I agree with your assessment that NONE of the themes I've downloaded have been editable. I don't want to ADD more widgets and icons to a theme. I just want to start with a blank canvas and let me do it.
Yet, if all these themes exist, HOW were they created? I'm really not going to watch a youtube video. There has to be a building application somewhere. Not re-engineer something already there.
One question, when you say "download mine" where do I find yours. None of the ones I've seen through the application say who created them.
mine and others are in the screenshots and themes forum beneath the general discussion.I agree fully with the video and much prefer to read it as I find it more followable,but again I suppose that is my bias too.You can start almost fresh,grab a theme as posted earlier,then delete everything,if the theme uses everything widget this is simple to do,just press screen and choose remove,then change the wallpaper by selecting your own then simply add you own widgets etc via the inbuilt everything widget (although this isn't as stable as it could be) or download widgets from playstore etc then add them,hope this helps apologies if I seem to waffle on.

Hi sanjsrik,
I'm the one who made the YouTube tutorial videos, so I apologize if they weren't that informative. Those were created in the beginning just to give people a basic understanding of what Themer was about.
Alldroid is correct in saying that starting with a fresh blank theme is the best, then just seeing what works and what doesn't. My advice would be learn more about Zooper Widget, as a lot of the newer themes use it, and it's brilliant. That's all Themer is essentially, a wallpaper, some widgets, and maybe some icons if you're feeling brave. We do recommend making the grid size quite large, in order to make the widget resizing easier. you might also notice that the new themes include incredibly detailed icons, these are in fact Zooper fonts, so as mentioned play around with the Zooper widgets found in the new themes.
If you need help/ideas feel free to ask, I'm always here to help!

Marco,
I would definitely go for it... though I am more of a "hands on" student and for learning I need to hear the stuff (that's how I learned all the stuff during college - my wife reading the material and me laying down and just listening - damn, she was so furious when I got the same grades as she did... ;o]]]), the text might help you gain more audience among those "give-me-a-manual-and-shut-up" types.
You have created a superb product for the tinkerers so a step further in the direction of a superb customer/user support would be a definitive nod in the right direction.
I personally would like more short video tutorials on specific features, how they work, what is their purpose and the mechanics (Yeah, you guessed it, I am not that familiar with design and graphics;o]) and maybe a tut on the 'codes' for custom formats of zooper widget.
well and maybe few more videos with theme designers like the one you guys did with GeriArts would also be inspiring... ;o]]]
another definate yes here too thanks,would make it a more better product in my opinion.

I promise I am NOT complaining. I promise I am NOT criticizing. I am just asking the question, WHAT is Themer?
from everything I understand, it's not a true "application", it's a wallpaper that then people can add widgets that "do" things.
if this is the case, HOW are these widgets "locked" where they can't be changed in a lot of the wallpapers I've downloaded.
THAT is my only question.
Oh, and how come there's not a "builder" application for Themer?

No worries we weren't offended by your comments, we're just trying to make everyone's theming experience as easy possible.
Themer is a launcher. Just like TouchWiz, Nova, Apex, ssLauncher, etc. It's a link between the hardware and software, you could think of it as the body/shell of a car. The car can have a different shell, and with Themer, it's shell can be customized in seconds.
Calling it a wallpaper with widgets doesn't really do it justice, as a launcher incorporates your app drawer as well, and maybe some more features arriving soon.
One thing to remember is that Themer, once stripped to its core, it a launcher, just like the rest. By that we mean you're able to edit/add/remove widgets, change wallpapers, change the icons (icon pack support arriving soon), etc. To unlock widgets, hold down on the homescreen - Advanced - Unlock Widgets. Repeat the process to lock them, or alternatively you can go into the main Themer settings - Advanced - Desktop - enable Lock Desktop Widgets.
Whenever the widgets/icons are unlocked, this can be called the "builder" mode, as you can add/remove/edit widgets and icons.
Hope this helps!

Thank you for the constructive email.
I think the biggest confusion anyone has with your "application" is that it doesn't seem like an application. It really does sound like a wallpaper with widgets. For example:
* Is there the ability to add groups for grouping together like kinds of applications?
* Can I add my own icons for applications?
Think GoLauncher or some other such "launcher" application that exists.

1. With Themer, you can add in Smart Category folders. For example the Games Category, when you install a new game, it will show up in this category and then whichever theme has a games folder, this new game will automatically appear. This saves a lot of time, but you can also manually add in your own categories or manually add in your own apps to a category.
2. Icon pack support is still limited. If you have icons on the homescreen, these can be edited manually. Some icon packs are supported, but you can also set them to other images in your gallery.

YES! I watched many of the videos and I'm still very much confused. I have specific ideas for what I want, and although I can figure some things out on my own by trial and error, reinventing the wheel is both time-intensive and tiresome.
Also, I am glad to hear that icon pack support is on the list. Although my plans include heavy use off the app drawer, I'd like to have the icons in there be pleasing to my eye as well as the ones on my home screen.
It's a great product, one that I've already suggested to several friends. I just am more demanding than the "average bear".

most icon packs by default don't work with themer,but there is a way round this although you will need to manually change the icons you want to use.
Download apk extractor from Playstore
download the icon packs you want to your device
using apk extractor extract the apk of the icon pack you downloaded,this file will be stored on your device main storage in the apk extrat folder.
Attach your device to your laptop etc,then drag the extracted apk icon pack to it
rename the icon.apk and change the apk extension to zip
open with your favourite zip program
then simply extract the icon file images

Too Much Music not enough Calendar?

First of all, I absolutely love this app. It's so easy to use yet powerful and the variety is just incredible. I remember a few years ago when I still had a jailbroken iPhone 3GS, it took me a whole afternoon just to make my phone look like one of these themes, now it's just a press of a button.
I just want to voice a little suggestion for the designers out there and if anyone disagrees with me, please send it right back. I think one of the coolest things about Android compared to iOS is the widgets and one widget that many people use often around me is the calendar. Unfortunately, even though there are so many amazing themes made for this app, very few of them actually dedicate enough space to a calendar widget (and often not at all).
Every theme though seems to dedicate a whole page to a music app. From my experience, this isn't really necessary since when a song is playing, i can see it in the notifications shade or when I want to start a new session to listen to music, I probably want to go into the app and choose which song to start with.
So I'm just making a suggestion to include more calendar widgets in future themes because at the moment, there's not enough themes with them but there are too many themes with music widgets. What do you guys think?
or better yet, make a theme yourself and include whatever you want =)

A good way to start finding your work-life balance is to challenge yourself to identify one behavior that you can change. What makes you happiest? What stresses you out the most? Determine your answers, then focus on a few areas in which you can improve, whether it's socializing more at work or planning out your day better. Soon you’ll be living happier, too!

Thanks for the self-help tip. It's funny how a suggestion for future themes lead to a lesson on life management! I guess I better keep this in mind the next time I write an app review in the Google Play Store.

well that sorted my life out !!!! seriously how is this helping anyone !!!!!
I understand what you mean that many do try and have more music apps etc and as you mention are not always useful,I am guilty of this myself in some respects,but when I create a style I create them because I want to not because they may or not become popular,as this doesn't concern me.It is all down to personal taste I suppose.
I maybe give this a try in a future theme,to be honest it is a good suggestion in my opinion

Yeah, right now it is the shades of green the only really good theme, if you want events on the home screen. I also feel that all the themes go in a direction of fun and design, and there are only very few, that at least add basic organizer options.
More work related themes would be welcome
I have to second the request for a calendar widget in more of the themes.
I LOVE themer and it's my default launcher now. I use the agenda view of the calendar all the time which gives me the option to scroll through my appointments and meeting times. Unfortunately, there are only a handful of themes that present this option, such as 'Series', 'Silver lining', 'Coordinate' and 'Violet'.
I usually just end up inserting an agenda widget in one of the unused whitespaces in the screen.
I would make my own themes, but I don't have a creative bone in my body. I couldn't hope to come up with anything half as nice as what you guys do on a regular basis.
Thank you for all your hard work. I will certainly be paying for this launcher when it comes out of beta. :good:

Thanks for your response! We've passed this message onto the team and will look into including more agenda-focused themes

[Q] Getting folder views, and managing photos in Album

Hey guys.
I'm coming from using the Galaxy S3, and the default application (Gallery) was beautiful, in that I could manage my photos (delete, move, copy etc).
Also, everything was easily accessible because it was all organised in folders, where as this seems like a cluster**** to me, where I can't even find the pictures that I just took, unless I looked really hard for them.
Isn't any of this possible in the Album application on the Z2?
TIA

That's why I don't use the default Album app, and switched to using QuickPic instead.

You get to the folder view by pressing the album icon on top left.
