Hello!
Just bought my LiveView and tried to install plug-ins on it, but...
The Liveview application does not detect them! It only detects the ones you can actually open on your phone (e.g. the sportypal watch, which you can open via the android market. Not the ones that only has the uninstall button in the market)...
How do I fix this?
There is a solution but it requires ADW launcher. I haven't found a solution without it, but would love one...
1) Install ADW Launcher
2) Open ADW Launcher, longpress on the homescreen and create a "Custom Shortcut"
3) when selecting the shortcut target select "Activity"
4) Search the Plugin within the list and select the "****Preference" subnode
5) Press OK
6) Click on the new shortcut so that the preferences of the plugin will open
7) check the "Enabled" checkbox of the plugin
8) you are done the plugin should work now... but you need to restart LiveView-App to see them!

This is what I did eventually too, thank you though

Moving to Q&A
thanks for this guys. I followed the same process but using Nova launcher. I think as long as your launcher will enable you to setup a shortcut to the preferences then you are ok.
What an oversight that the plugins dont work straight away. I bet this has thrown a lot of people off. Its a great little device for the price though, all working well now.
Have You tried Liveware it's an another SW from SE and it sees all plugins on ICS.

HOW TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR NOTE 2 LIKE A PRO - ROOT NOT REQUIRED
I started this thread as a heads up to check out buzz launcher. But it is kind of morphing into a how to create custom homescreen thread. Posting instructions for each one of my homepacks was really junking up the place. Hopefully everyone likes the new format.
CUSTOM LAUNCHER
First you need a 3rd party launcher like NOVA, APEX or Buzz Launcher. All of my designs I have posted are using Buzz Launcher. That way if you like them, you can download them! You can also recreate any of my themes using a different launcher. It will just take a little longer to setup.
If you are not familiar with Buzz Launcher... Buzz Launcher is a new concept launcher capable of importing others' Homescreens to your own device intact. Share your Homescreen with your friends via SNS! Buzz launcher is specifically designed to help you create diverse Homescreens. Experience uniquely designed Homescreens on Buzz Launcher! ...from their website

EDIT AN OBJECT - select Select an object > select which object your would like to edit > select the decor tab to change the color, font and opacity > the size, move, and rotate tabs are pretty straight forward > use the anchor tab to get perfect alignments when moving an object > be sure to save the widget after changes
ASIGN A HOTSPOT - select the Activity object > select the decor tab > to launch an app, select App > to launch a SiMi Folder or other shortcut, select shortcut
NOTE - If you are using Buzz Launcher the buzz widgets are uploaded and downloaded with homepacks, and makes for easy setup

Thanks for sharing. This is another example of why I fell in love with android. Just to be helpful, and not picking at all, you could always just go into settings/display, and change your wallpapers there. That saves you from jumping back into touchwiz. Again, thanks for sharing.

I did use Buzz Launcher until Action Launcher got updated with quick widgets. I don't think I'll ever be switching launchers again.

I'll give it a try
I really love the ease of customization on Buzz Launcher. I however left my phone on overnight and it seems to have drained my battery quite a bit. I'll keep using it and see how it goes.

I have also had diminished battery life, although I still make it through a day easily. I am also using the phone more playing with the launcher and the setup, so I attribute most of the battery loss to that. But I wondered if the large increase of widgets running would use more system memory which would drain the battery more?
Its not a huge down side for me since I only really care about making it through the day. And it still beats the GNex battery life by a mile

Absolutely true. I used to hardly get through a day without even using wifi or 4G. But I typically use lots of widgets so it might just be downloading and trying 20 different themes

Ughh, you quoted my bad grammar. I tried to fix it, lol.
Be sure you post any awesome setups you find, and let us know how you set it up, and tweaked it for the Note 2!

This is xda. we dont need grammar, we have code! XD here's what I'm using for now. likely to change in the next hour or so.
Anyone like any of the wallpapers I have made, if so which ones?
If anyone has a wallpaper they like and want to use it, send it to me and Ill make it for this homescreen.
Am I the only one having an issue with the UCCW widget not working for email?
Love the set up btw.
The widget points to gmail by default (sorry it's what I use) you should be able to edit it though to what ever you want. Ill post instructions when I get to my computer.

This is happening to me as well. What exactly were the changes to weather? I don't see anymore options in the settings.
Make sure to link the hotspot to ThemerWeather not the weather app you installed. I am not sure if that solves it for you guys, but I haven't had any issues with it since left it at default.
We changed the weather so that:
1. The default provider is AccuWeather, not The Weather Channel. This is because AW is available in more countries than TWC. That said, Themer will still look on your phone for dozens of other weather apps.
2. As long as you are using Themer Beta 1.4 or above, go to Settings>Themer>Weather. From there you can force C or F, or leave it on Auto.
We are using a weather provider (Open Weather Map) which is unreliable. We are going to change providers are soon as possible.

It says 65 degrees (which has to be Fahrenheit, even though i set it as celcius in Settings>Themer>Weather. Below that it says haze in location n/a. this theme is amazing but one page is wasted because it cant find anything.
EDIT: How can i change an icon for something if the icon is applied on my homescreen? for example, there is a shopping folder but i dont want that, i just want it to be the play store, but i want it to use the icon of the shopping folder. when i try and change the icon i can only select from my gallery. is there no way to select an icon from the theme?
As we all know all 3rd party Whatsapp clients has been banned by Whatsapp and we are forced to use the less customisable official Whatsapp client. So I am sharing some xposed modules which u can use to customise the official whatsapp according to your needs.

** To apply the theme On The Go you be need to provide superuser permissions. This simply Force Closes the App so that when you start it again the changes can reflect on the app.
Guys Please Note That After Updating To A Newer Version You Need To Restart Your Device Once For The New Mods and Themes To Work.
Requirements
• Have Xposed Framework installed
Currently Supported Apps For Theming:
1. WhatsApp Messenger

4)select "Home screen"
5)finally select live wallpapers and choose the analog clock
Hope you like it guys!!
**More themes coming soon**

Sure
Why is this an XPosed module?
No source? Seems like this is a new username and you've posted a few new apps recently and none are open source nor on the Play Store.
That could be perfectly normal but it's just odd something like a live wallpaper of a clock would need to be an XPosed module.
I've downloaded a live wallpaper of a clock before that didn't require XPosed which is why I'm curious.
It does not need xposed but im a new developer here and i am doing the things i am capable of and if you dont need it you dont have to use it
Then why not open source it and put it on F Droid?
That would be a perfect avenue to get some exposure. I don't know if the XPosed repo is the most ideal way I'd choose if I was wanting to get my apps out there.
F Droid might be better simply because your apps don't necessarily need root permissions and aren't doing fancy XPosed things. F Droid gets quite a bit of attention as an alternate app store with a no cost barrier of entry.
Well thanks for the note ill give it a try
@wissam.az1: The "app" seems not to have parts which could be loaded by Xposed. So why you uploaded it to Xposed repo?
Will it go in a future update that the background will be the previous or stock wallpaper.....
That it will 'look' like a floating widget in the background (instead of a solid color background) that does nothing but tell time...
X
@moshiach101 sure bro i may release the update today if i finish work early
