So i recently installed Themer on my brand new Galaxy s5. I press the home button and selected themer. My phone turned black and didn't turn on, so i turned off my phone. When i turned it back on it passed the galaxy startup image and went to my Verizion screen. There it froze. I had to remove the battery and it turned back on. What i would like to know is if Themer works on the S5, or should i have waited when selecting Themer after pressing the home button?

Hi deathadder7,
Please try this method, as it should help fix the issue:
1. Uninstall Themer.
2. Delete the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder (removing the Exported folder within it if you saved any themes).
3. Reinstall Themer.
Hope this helps, if not, please let us know. There might have been a problem during installation.
Regards,
Marco

Sadly, this did not work. After it says installing, my phone goes black. I can never turn it on from that point. I have to restart it and when that happens it takes me to the Verizion where it freezes.

Are you rooted? If so, have you modified the display/DPI/resolution settings in any way?
I've been getting the same thing too on my HTC One M8. Themer was working flawlessly then when i updated everything seemed to bug out. I've have tried deleting the folder and re-installing multiple times.
Problem lies when I try to apply a theme it just doesn't work either goes black or stuck on "tap the phone below to apply your theme" but the phone is gone and there is just a blank image in the area. Two patches ago themer was working fine with no issues at all.
HTC one m8.
Not rooted, everything is stock settings.
haven't touched a thing on my phone just updated to the latest version on themer. Hope this helps any ideas on how to fix??
@ThemerSupport No I am not rooted. I never changed anything in the resolution or DPI

About 2 days ago my galaxy S3 started crashing the app when i would i would copy something to clipboard in that particular app. Happened in messages, contacts, and I'm testing what other apps.
but no1 has figured out a fix yet. I am running go launcher and have a feeling that, that might be the issue. I really don't want to factory reset -_- but if I have to i will. anybody?
if you think that Go luancher maybe the issue, why not just download another launcher from the market and see if it goes away while your running that launcher ---- i would do this first instead of a factory reset.

just tried apex launcher, and even went back into touchwiz and the same problem occurs. ill hold down a message or a contact. press copy message text or whatever else, and the black screens and a FC. Stock browser and stock contacts. I tried copying text from an email, but the interesting thing now is if i go to long press in any composition field i don't get a past option. Just a "clipboard" option and pressing that doesn't do anything
Have you tried Wiping Delvik Cache and fixing permissions in CWM??
I had the same problem and a factory reset sorted it out....try doing it

Hi everyone,
I also had this problem, I found a solution without do a factory reset.
The app in question is TestService.
First you have to clean the directory /data/clipboard, delete everything in it with root explorer. After that, go to manage applications and find the app TestService, uninstall the updates.
After a reboot, copy/paste should work again.

What did you do? Having the same problem since last week. I hope you can help.
It will crash whatever you try to copy from. The factory reset was the only thing that fixed mine seeing as I didn't want to root my S III immediately.

Same thing happening to me on my samsung galaxy tab. Started two days ago, as well. Samsung tech support told me to reset to factory. I don't want to, I have too many apps, picture, videos etc on my tab. BUMMED I read about stopping testservice. Did that, still no joy. Said to clear data/clipboard folder. I checked, and NO clipboard folder can be found in my data folder.
Hello, loving themer on my phone but I have only one gripe with it. When touching any of the homescreens you bring up the Themer launcher within what feels like less than a second. One theme I am using has a dialer built in to the homescreen and its just about impossible to complete a phone number without the popup launching. is there anyway to delay this response or disable it?

These bugs will be sorted out once Themer is more stable and we have more resources. We apologize for the inconvenience. For now it might be easier to delete the Dialer Widget until the issue is resolved.

That's odd, one of the employees also had the ghosting issue but it disappeared after a while.
Have you tried deleting the /sdcard/MyColorScreen folder (remove the Exported folder if you've saved any themes)?
We'll see if there is another way to fix this issue.

Yeah tried removing everything in case anything was corrupted but still have the problem.I did a rollback to earlier version and the problem doesn't exist,so has to be something from the last two releases

Yes, I had the Themer test beta a few months ago, I got aggravated and uninstalled it. Then I thought I'd try again (since the new themes were phenomenal) but it still continues to do that.

Using the newest Themer on my Galaxy S4 with the "Hills"-Theme (Zooper Pro also installed). But the widgets are not updated in time. Sometimes the clock reads 20:40 when it's already 23:50 (example). Rebooting helps. But this sucks, of course. The cover in the music player is also way behind the played songs. What can I do? :/

had a similar issue on one theme (do not remember the name) on a GSmart Roma R2. After changing the theme I had no issue

Appreciate it. I'm on a Verizon Galaxy Note 2 (SCH-I605), I was on a custom Jelly Beans ROM when it started, I've since upgraded to the LiquidSmooth KitKat ROM and the issue persists. Both ROMs are rooted. It just occurred to me, and I'm not sure if it's related, but the issue started around the time that I began using the "HUD" theme. I'll test it with another theme to make sure it's not just this one, and update here if that helps.
Thanks again!

Hi, I downloaded Themer for the first time yesterday, and was really impressed with it. But today, I have noticed the clock doesn't update unless I refresh the launcher by changing any of the settings, and the same goes with the text and email counters.
I am using a Nexus 4, that is stock and not rooted at all.
I have gone back to the stock Android launcher for the time being, but will use themer again to see if its fixed.

Themer lags when I hit home after I'm in an app. I've tried the suggestion above, but it doesn't help. Often, all the zooper widgets are redrawn when I hit home. Sometimes, "loading" comes up and I have to hit back or menu for it to go away.
If I import the widgets into Apex Launcher using Zooper Pro, then I don't have any issues.
It seems that the launcher in Themer is constantly redrawing and/or not staying in memory. Is there anything that can be done? Otherwise, this is a great app!

Memory optimization will arrive soon, so stay tuned
I have an issue that I cannot pinpoint the cause of figure out a solution to. Maybe someone here can help.
My Sprint G3 is always crashing and rebooting the launcher (phone doesn't turn off, just closes evwrything). I'd be in the middle of any app and it will randomly close every single app. The running apps page always displays after every crash. It's as if too much ram is being used, but it will happen even after a fresh phone restart and launching something simple like WhatsApp.
My phone is rooted via the Stump one click method. I don't have any type of rooted mods enabled, only Adfree. I use Nova launcher (paid & updated).
Is there some sort of event viewer that will log the activity of the phone so I probably someone here can see what might be causing the phone to crash? I'm tempted to Unroot and restore back to stock... But if I can avoid that, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks. I've reverted my adfree hosts file and uninstalled it. But I think the issue persists. If I try to use any app that clears cache, specifically Clean Master, when it's doing the scan of apps it'll crash midway through the scan. If I go to system settings > Apps & wait for all the downloaded apps to load the details, it'll crash there too.
This is the oddest thing.
Edit:
This visual may help. It's a video of me running Clean Master & seeing how it just crashes. I can replicate this issue every time like this, but the crashes are random when using other apps.
Link to video: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9-N9bB35E-QdnY3Zk1FaW9EMXM/edit?usp=docslist_api
Ok, so I began uninstalling some apps that I thought may have been the issue... Which they weren't as the crashing still continues. I decided to reboot under safe mode and the problem occurs there too.
I honestly cannot recall if this began before or after rooting with stump. I may have to Unroot & factory restore. =/

I'm at a loss... The 2 things I mentioned can be the culprits, but not for you I guess. Some other ideas?
Did you uninstall Stump after getting root?
Have you froze or uninstalled any system apps/ priv-apps?
It might even be Nova is having issues.
That's all I got.

Tried to unroot but the phone doesn't move past the "Firmware Update. Do not unplug the phone..." screen after holding Volume Up & plugging into the computer. I installed the drivers before hand. But the "CDC Serial" doesn't update. I attempted to manually update the driver by browsing for the folder, but no go.
I may end up having to go to Sprint and exchange the phone for another one.

TL;DR version = Yes, I did fix it. Factory restore did the trick.
A few days after my last post the phone wasn't as bad as the video. It would still crash and reset but mainly after heavy app usage or when trying to clear app cache using any app like Clean Master.
Once my storage reached about 40% used and I couldn't clear the cache, I began to get constant Play Store error messages. No apps would update. I think it was error 483 or something close to hat number.
Since I couldn't flash back to stock because the drivers wouldn't install, I gave up and tried a factory reset. I nearly sh-t myself bc once I confirmed the restore, the phone didn't want to automatically reset per the instructions. I pressed the button multiple times and nothing. I pulled the battery and when I turned it back on, I got the initial screen with the "powered by android" and then black. It did not wanna do anything. Pulled battery again, same outcome. It left it for maybe 10min and still nothing.
I was ready to go back to sprint and see if I could exchange the phone. While researching the closest store, the phone beeped and the initial android setup screen appeared. This was about 25min of waiting on a black screen.
The phone is now back to working order and it's still rooted. There must have been a corrupt file that was erased/restored once the g3 decided to behave.

I was ready to go back to sprint and see if I could exchange the phone. While researching the closest store, the phone beeped and the initial android setup screen appeared. This was about 25min of waiting on a black screen.
The phone is now back to working order and it's still rooted. There must have been a corrupt file that was erased/restored once the g3 decided to behave.

Congrats!
My G3 is crashing in the similar manner as the video you uploaded.
Except that it only happens when I'm in office connected to office wifi with almost no cellular reception.
On top of that, as far as I could tell... only two apps are causing the launcher to crash... the game Clash of Clans and LINE.
Very very strange....
