Hello, I just installed themer yesterday. It is now one of my fav apps of all time xD .
However, today I been trying to side load themes into themer without success, as i gathered from some websites and from a video by the one of the peeps at mycolorscreen: you just copy the zipped theme folder onto the folder called " Exported" and then to "Zips "(found in mycolorscreen->themer, on the phone), with that done the new themes should be visible in the themer app in My themes>Exported>zip option .
My problem is that I can't find any folder called exported or export inside my themer file directory in the phone, I checked everywhere , there is nothing like that. So I ended up creating a folder called export and then a folder called zip inside it , but still I cannot access this from the themer app ( Mythemes-> exported->zip->choose the new app ) .
Please help !
MyColorScreen/Themer/Exported/zip is the right folder an i think its case sensitv.

Hi,
Try this:
1. Long press on the homescreen - Advanced - More - Export Theme (give it any name).
2. Once saved, it will create a .zip file in the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/Themer/Exported/zip folder.
3. Place your .zip files into the same folder.
4. To find the themes - look in the My Themes - Exported section in the Theme Browser.
Good luck!

Thanks a lot for the help bro, much appreciated.
I loaded the app, but some of the app button shortcuts look weird, all of them has an icon of a folder, but when i press on them they seem to be shortcuts to google play, or youtube or stuff like that.
Once again, thanks for the super fast reply.

When sideloading themes, you can often get one that doesn't follow Themer's guidelines, meaning that the user will set shortcuts to his/her personal preferences.

hi,
sadly i don't get it done to download and copy a miui locker theme on my phone and apply it...
i already read a lot about miuilocker, how to apply local themes, edit/translate themes etc.
basically it's like this:
1. Download Theme
2. IF *.mtz file copy on your phone to MIUI/Themes <- my folder is called "theme" but I find all my downloaded (over miui online) themes in it, so it should be the right one.
3. open MiLocker
4. go to Local Tab an select theme
sadly i NEVER find the theme i just copied in the "local" list
in some guides it says you have to click "edit theme", in my version of milocker there is nothing like that so i just assume thats for an older version of milocker.
i also tried translating a theme ( http://androidforums.com/android-themes/469539-how-miui-milocker-theming-customization.html )
i apply all the steps on pc, replace all chinese letters with english ones, save everything again as zip (no compression) and rename them to what ever needed.
on my phone there STILL are chinese signs...
now if i copy the theme again from my phone and extract it and look into the manifest.xml there are MY LETTERS, no chinese at all, still the screen on my phone shows chinese letters..........
i own a Moto G 8GB Stock Rom, nothing changed.
would be nice if someone can help me!

**Lightning Launcher** (Play link)
*you can do with others, so I prefer this:
- fix the widgets on the screen - (bar top, left).
- Choose which widget is on top or bottom.
- like the customizations folder.
**Zooper Widget** (Play link)
- All widgets have been made with it.
**Media Utilities** (Play link)
- buttons play, pause, albumart, album name, songs, etc..
**Quick boot** (Play link)
- power options menu
Instructions
Launcher:
**Columns per page: 4
**Rows per page: 7
(if you are using Lightning Launcher Home, there's a backup of my desktop, the positioning is already configured.)
- Unzip file and paste it into: "sdcard/LightningLauncher/Illusion.Wxtreme"
Zooper Widget
- Unzip file and paste into: "sdcard/ZooperWidget/Templates"
**A higher resolution to help set up ..

Screens look awesome. I'm new to LL, how do I load the theme? I have LL running, but no /sdcard/LightningLauncher folder to extract to. If I create it and extract the zip to it, LL does not find the template to load.

I think you are a bit confused .. lol
is:
** The first attachment is a backup of the layout of my screen LL launcher already configured. (you do not need it to build the theme, it just good would things).
** The second attachment, are the widgets, all of them, everything you need to mount the desktop's inside this zip.
** Extract the zooper widgets, (... zw), and copy it to the "your internal storage/zooperwidget/templates folder, and add the widgets manually ..
I have helped a friend, sorry my bad english ..,

Big thanks for helping. You're right, i am! I think i did all that. Very tempting to keep trying but my boss does not appreciate a good theme like i do, so unfortunately i'll have to keep trying later tonight.
Edit: Ok, it's later tonight now and i definitely did all that, at least twice, with all apps from play-links installed. Still no luck!
I did have to create the local LL folder again, shouldn't that have been there after installing LL?
And is " Apply" , " load installed template" > " Select Template" the right way to activate the theme after extracting the files?
Maybe Xposed gets in the way? DPI is on standard Omni setting (480 i think, which sucks, but i want to get this theme working) but changed for some individual apps using app-settings module.

ok, let's make an attempt, make a backup of your settings LL:
preferences > settings > Backup & Restore
Choose a name for your backup .. then find it in your store, paste my backup in the same place ...
restore it the same way
preferences > settings > Backup & Restore ...
tell me if it worked for you ....
I will also make this theme with launcher themer, but the sidebar is not fixed, it is a feature of the LL, but easier for you ...

derp... why didn't i think of that? That worked, it was one level higher then expected. Custom Zooper widgets don't show in the list. The regular Zoopers and media utilities do. I've extracted the wxtreme *.ws files to
sdcard/ZooperWidget/templates and to
sdcard/ZooperWidget/autosave and to
sdcard/ZooperWidget/ and to
android/data/org.zooper.zwfree/templates and to
android/data/org.zooper.zwfree/
Hi, I'm a new android user. Just found out about Themer. Saw a skin that I like from one of the designer. He emailed me the skin file.
How do I install the skin file onto Themer? I have the file on my computer already. Can you guide me the steps to get the skin on my themer please. I'm using htc one m8, latest version. and the skin name is ORMINT. thank you

Hi!
It's very easy, but first you need to make sure that the .zip file has the same resolution as your phone. As it's not an official theme just yet you need to verify first, we'd say try it first though and if it doesn't work you might have to wait until the theme gets ported into Themer.
So for now, all you have to do is to paste the .zip file into the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/Themer/Exported/zip folder. The theme will now appear in the Exported tab of the My Themes section. Good luck!

Try this:
1. Long press on the homescreen - Advanced - More - Export Theme - give it any name and save it.
2. The folder should now appear.

Hello folks, this tutorial will guide you how to theme your launcher icons without the themes (which you may not like most) from theme store. Before the tutorial, please be reminded to back up your important data, I am not responsible for loss of data.
Prerequisite:
1. Rooted
2. 7-zip
3. Creativity
First of all, your phone needs to be rooted. For the tutorial of rooting your phone, please refer to other posts.
The icons of the launcher are stored in /root/system/customizecenter/theme, there is a file named "icons", you can copy the file and put it in your PC using any root explorer (personally I use Solid Explorer).
In your PC, right click on the file 7-Zip -> Open archive. Inside the file you will find a lot of popular apps in China, you may delete them if you want. Now have your icons ready, in general cases icons larger than 128 x 128 pixels will be good. Take Facebook Messenger as an example, go to play.google.com to look for the package name. Rename your icon with "package-name.png".
After than insert the new icon into the archive (note that not to extract the archive) and put the file back to the phone. Do a reboot and now you are able to see the new icon of Facebook Messenger :laugh:
I created a album in Google Photo, please feel free to share your favorite icons:

You can, but you have to rename the PNG files to the package names.

There are many good looking themes in theme store but almost everyone of those have hideous icons, so i was trying to find a way around & this worked.
- Download your theme
- Go to root folder of your device & then open data folder, further go to "app" folder, search for "appicon" & it will show you folder names ending with the same, delete the appicon folder that belongs to the theme you have downloaded(normally when we download the theme it creates 3-4 folder by the name of theme developer , we are looking for something like com.developer.appicon) , reboot your device & done, you will have stock icons back.
