When downloading a theme I see you need to login with your Facebook or Google account. What is the reason behind this? Do these themes cost money?

This is to ensure that no user abuses our theme download system. Of course it also lets us send you updates about Themer and details on new themes. But please know that we take your email security very seriously, and we would never give your email address to any third parties. Also all themes are free for now.

Hello,If you are asking about downloading from play store then you need login in your device with Gmail account. Then after no need to login anywhere.

Hello,
I just wondered if i can sync Facebook Birthdays on my phone as i can't find the settings...
I used to be able to do it on my HTC with calendar but can't seem to do it on this phone or a possible App from the market that will do this...
Kind Regards
Moto blur doesnt include this. I have tbolt as well. But i am sure there might b a calander app. I will take look

If you sync your Facebook to your Google acct you should get your birthdays listed when your Google calendar syncs to your phone.

Hi there,
I don't want to sound dumb but how do i sync Facebook to Google??
Kind Regards
Make the email acct associated with your Facebook acct your gmail acct. I had to do this when I had a fascinate in order to get my Facebook calendar to sync with my phone. In a nutshell, your phone calendar syncs with your gmail calendar automatically, so if you make your gmail your default Facebook email it should force the sync to your phone's calendar.

On your computer, on a desktop browser
Visit this page : https://www.facebook.com/events/list
on the top right next to "Today" there is a gear icon, click on it
this will bring a drop down menu and one of the selection will be export
SNS service stopped

Thank you very much for the helpful info.
Unfortunately I have a persisting problem whenever trying to add Facebook account to my calendar I receive:
"Unfortunately SNS service stopped" and cannot have Facebook integrated into my calendar.
Please advise if you can.
hey guys... as the title says.. anyone know which version of Google Play that doesn't require Google+ to make reviews?
i dislike the new Google Play layout and Google+
i think we dont need the whole screen to display 4 apps with SUPA DUPA BIG picture of apps...
thanks in advance

Afaik all reviews made now through Google Play are linked to a g+ account or made as a google user.
I still use v3.10.14 which is the old layout but the review changes still apply.

Hi mates,
Today,I got my code for ThemerApp.
Wanna try it...
I choose a theme, I press Apply and then....
!!
It requests an access to my Facebook account with full access to my personal information and friends list!!!
Why? Can someone tell me why a "THEMER" App requires my friends list?
I uninstall right now!
Pathetic
dont know why they do this. you can also use your google account but this as bad as using the fb-account.
although i really like this app this is really a nuisance !
The only reason I made this workaround so people can use themes without logging in to any accounts. Although it seems to be a trusted app, but it doesn't take long for any database to be hacked. Hope more themers use this.

because it's not just a simple theme app, it's a launcher with widgets of every kind (social networks included), rss feeds, etc.. and to display notifications correctly it needs full access.

I can understand a launcher with social network integration requesting access to social networks but I can't understand why it's mandatory.
I do NOT use social networks but I want to try this launcher out. It doesn't let you proceed without adding an account.

Also uninstalled right after installing... Why does it want access to my facebook or google account to work properly? like seeing all your friends and stuff ? Ehhhm sorry but noo thanks!
Also why does a themer app need to collect "anonymous" location data of my phone?
This app was a big promise but they ****ed it up.
Its for the weather widgets, and unlike you privacy is the least of my concerns

So do you use your Google account to set up your phone? To use the Play Store? What's the difference?
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk
That is very unfortunate to hear. There is no reason this app should require that information.
I'm starting to question if I want to use it now.

Like I said, we use our Google accounts for the Play Store. What's the difference? Besides, couldn't you make a dummy Google account? That's not too difficult to do.

Besides, if you really wanna use the app and are THAT worried about your personal info, making a dummy account won't be a big deal. It's not a "bit much" at all. You're talking as if it's an ordeal to do, or a huge inconvenience.
And speaking of dummies, the people freaking out about Themer are the same people that feel perfectly fine with using Google for their Wallet service, or for their email, or even for Google Play. It's the same thing as logging into an account to use Themer. Besides, only a total idiot would turn over crucial data to the internet these days.
Jeez. People....

Correct me if I am wrong, but don't MOST "Widgets" in Launchers require those kind of permissions? Look at Zooper Widget's Permissions:
They access those Apps to run them, so.. someone enlighten me on the difference please?
Ohmergod! This app is spying on us, wahhhhhhhh. Half the damn apps on our phone require access to our personal info and you're going to get your panties in a bunch over Themer using it? Not sure if serious.

Its not Themer spying on us that people are worried about. Its what happens "if" their database gets hacked into the same way WhatsApp and TrueCaller got hacked recently.
But the Gmail permission is certainly understandable since it needs it to show the Unread Count in Everything Widget and having a bit of experience developing apps, I'm pretty sure there's no other way to get the counts.

Very true. But like I said, if people are really that worked up, they can use a dummy account.

Back when my doodle was rooted, i enjoyed the full power of adding and removing google accounts. Now on .22 of course i cant do that, though the accounts i had before are still there (huzzah).
Is there some way to add additional accounts in my situation? Perhaps via another gapp that would ask for signin (and be loadable without play services)?
Thanks in advance.
Dunno but i want a rooted doodle!

I managed to add another account through using the G+ app, I can't exactly remember how I did it but it is possible by using another google app and signing in.
If only... g+ won't run without services framework. Looking for summat that does...

Hello Everyone,
I moved from Xperia to Pixel and i really miss the Xperia's email app. I used to set it up to access email's from work (Exchange server) and i could see the calendar on Google's calendar as well. I know i can do this if i set up Gmail to access work email but Gmail has issues syncing Sub-Folder and the Outlook app is well plain ugly and does not sync with Google calendar.
Do you guys know of any email app that works like Xperia's email app?
Regards
Sanjay
I've not used Xperia mail, so cannot comment on how it compares, but fory work exchange account I will use nothing but Nine. It's awesome and handles sub folders great and also integrates with Google Calendar. It's not cheap, but it is so worth the money IMO.

Imagine Nine being made by Sony and being offered for free, preinstalled on Xperia phones

I have been using Spark. It is new to Android but, has been out on iOS for a long time. I got use to using it on my iPad and I really like it.
My favourite email app is the LineageOS email app. It can be downloaded from APKMirror. If you use Swift Installer, it won't be able to theme it to dark though, so you might need to install Swift Dark or Swift Black with Substratum if you want a dark theme.
