Newbie question but still need help. Should Themer be running in the back ground all the time? It seems to be slowing my phone down. I also notice on my home screen when I pick it up it says loading almost every time? I guess that is 2 questions.....Thanks in advance.....

Hi,
In theory it shouldn't be, but our developers are aware of this issue and trying their best to fix the issue. You can always try a clean install, this should fix both errors:
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!

Another Question
Why the Themmer tries to:
- read my call history;
- access to messages;
- access to calendar;
- access to my location information:
Thank you for the answer in advance.

greetings, nookies
i just threw together this app for the NookColor. it gives you access to hidden system settings, and allows you to select soft keyboards that are installed.
it's super basic and ugly right now, but i hope it will come in handy. i plan to expand and refine it as time goes on.
when you click the All Settings button, you'll see a list of all the available preference panels. note that some of them don't work. not sure why.
some highlights:
- Development > Auto Mount - turn off usb auto mount
- Development > Manage Applications - uninstall apps, clear defaults
- Battery Use
- SD Card and Phone Storage - shows available space in internal storage
- Testing > Battery Info - status, voltage, temp, etc
- Testing > Battery History
- Testing > Usage statistics
if you find yourself on a screen without a back button, remember that you can swipe left over the notification bar at the bottom, if it's showing.
for info on installing other keyboards, see this thread. basically, you need to copy your keyboard's apk to /system/app and reboot. if you haven't done this before, here's a howto.
new! to enable the non-market apps checkbox, you need to copy this apk to /system/app. if you have 0.1 installed, uninstall it first, then copy 0.2 to /system/app and reboot. this is necessary for the app to have the right permissions to modify secure system settings. the app will still work if you install it the normal way, but you won't be able to use the non-market apps checkbox.
as usual, i accept no responsibility if this messes up your device. use at your own risk.
changelog:
0.2 - added install non-market apps option. apk must be in /system/app to enable this feature. filtered some unusable settings screens out. added some descriptions for the buttons.

I prefer to be reffered to as Nooker thanks, lol
Nice, I'll give'r a try..

EDIT: OOh nice, development settings access, usb debug mode, usb auto mounting galore..
Thanks!
Hey, thanks a bunch
keep up the good work!
Thank you very much! Unfortunately it didn't help my keyboard problem because the only keyboard that showed up was "To enable it (the Scandinavian keyboard) go to Settings - Language & keyboard. There you need to check Scandinavian keyboard if it's not checked". So I'm guessin that it's not checked and that the specific settings file (I guess it's like a control panel app in Windows) isn't even there on a Nook. Or is it just not activated that easily?
If I try to launch the keyboard i get "Activity not found". Any idea if there is another setting to activate the keyboard for use?
Very nice work.

see this thread. you have to copy your keyboard apk to /system/app and reboot for it to show up as an option.
Thanks! I actually tried something like that, but couldn't get it copied because of the settings. Gonna try again tomorrow (getting late her in Norway).
new version. read the OP for important instructions.
Very nice... is it possible to release the source for this?
This looks great! Thanks for sharing!

hold off on installing this app by copying it to /system/app. it seems this might cause your NC to do a factory reset when using any of the bn apps like the library. more info to come when i get a chance to investigate. until then, you can install 0.2 as a normal app.
Ben74, this app is excellent!
Also, I noticed that when NC freaks out and wipes to factory settings, it does not wipe /system. Does this mean that, in principle, your app will allow to keep root (with the Development menu settings)?
Thanks again!

are you saying that you also got a factory reset after installing NookColor Tools to /system/app? after the reset, did you still have root? i did a full reflash of /system and /data after that happened to me, so i don't know.

No, I am not saying that at all.
I am saying that in my unrelated tinkering, I have had wipes that always end up keeping the /system intact. (I suppose they were not of the full-reset-"factory.zip" variety.)
I was simply guessing that if that were the case and your apk survived the "soft" wipe (as I have seen with other apks), then following the ordeal, the NC would still be rooted ... Maybe ...
That would be a cool possibility, no? Not having to go through the initial rooting procedure.

Aha, after reading this post, I understand the context of your question better.
Here is my case: I had done a bunch of work and had NookColor Tools installed as a regular app. After performing some action that involved invoking the NC Home app, I got a message that the Nook encountered some error and will now undergo a factory reset. After the reset, I had to reroot, of course.
The bottomline, in my case, with respect to this discussion, is that the wipe-causing problem occurred while NookColor Tools was not in /system/app folder.
At the moment, I reinstalled everything and this time I put NookColor Tools in /system/app.
Will keep an eye out for interesting developments ...
I see. The factory reset that happened on my NC was the type that only wipes /data. I'm not sure if root would be retained or not. I'm also not certain that the reset I got was related to my app. Has anyone else who installed it to /system/app experienced a reset?
Sent from my NookColor using the XDA app
Ok, thanks for the info. So it seems possible that the reset was due to something else. Has anyone else experienced a reset?
Sent from my NookColor using the XDA app
I've experienced one of these, but before I'd ever installed your app. It was right after I had tried to install the Market/Gmail fix as described by Mister Muffin. Something about an authentication problem, and then, we're going to reset ... no yes/no option, just went ahead and did it.
ok, it looks like the reset i had was probably caused by something else. i have installed NookColor Tools to my /system/app, and haven't gotten another reset so far. please let me know if anyone has any problems when installing NookColor Tools to /system/app.
I've installed the themer app to my HTC One M7. After signing in, choosing the theme, and apply, it didn't work. It went back to the Welcome screen slider. I've tried several times already. I already uninstalled the app and reinstalled again, however the app didn't work.

Hi,
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.
Are you running a custom ROM at all?

I'm running on Stock/default ROM. I already tried that , and when I reinstall the APP, still not working and kept on forwarding me to the Welcome screen after applying the theme.

Yes, my phone is not rooted. I've also tried to clear the data & restart. I've also tried uninstalling the app, delete the mycolorscreen folder, reinstall again, but the problem still occurred. .
All of a sudden my "Most Used & Recent" category is not working. Nothing ever shows up in it now. This used to work just fine. Perhaps something changed with the latest update? I'm running v1.55 on an HTC One M7 if that matters.
Anybody else seeing this?

I'm having this issue too. Is there any less destructive method of fixing it? I don't want to lose all of the customizations I've made to the theme I'm using.

If you remove the Exported folder as mentioned above you won't lose any exported themes

Ah, got it. I totally misread your original post. Thanks!
I am using an Huawei Ascend P6 and I was happy with Themer and Zooper widgets for the last 5 month. Great app!
It run on Android 4.2 very well.
Last week I got the offer to upgrade to Android 4.4.2. The upgrade run without any problems on the phone (not rooted).
But since than Themer crashes all the time especially when swapping between the apps or jumping to the homescreen.
It's nearly impossible to use the phone.
Any idea to solve the problem?
I don't want to reinstall Themer because I am not sure if I can restore all the customized widgets and the theme itself is still available on the phone.
Best regards,
Micky

Hi Micky,
We're sorry to hear that it keeps crashing
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.
Also please let us know if Themer was crashing when you were applying themes. Hope this helps!
successful reinstall
I followed the steps as you have proposed.
After uninstalling Themer, deleting the MyColorScreen folder and reistalling Themer I got another crash.
I reinstalled everything again but this time I did a reboot before installing Themer again
Since then everything is working fine.
I never tried to apply themes in the the time while Themer was crashing so I cannot say if this would have caused a crash.
Most of the time it crashed while switching between apps or switching to the home screen.
Thanks for your help!

If you're running a custom ROM, chances are that you might have edited certain settings. These include hiding the soft keys, editing the DPI settings or even settings your own system-wide icon pack. Keeping your phone as standard as possible means that Themer will work to its full potential.

Thanks friend support, I found the solution thanks to the comments on your previous post was due to the icon pack was changed and for that reason I did not work properly on my phone themer.
