i have used themer for a week on my m8, but no matter what theme i set, there seems to be considerable lag when i am swithing between the menu and home screen. Also is the case if i close any app and go back to the menu, the launcher takes at least 3-4 secs to load... this is very annoying. I have also noticed that themer stays in the background and when i close it from the recent apps, it lags and reloads... i have switched back to sense since this is very annoying... Such beautiful themes out there, and i simply cant get em to work with fluidity...
BTW i have enough ram and i have rebooted my device as well, but nothing has worked. If devs can sort this out, it will be a brilliant launcher...
No reply.. I'm glad I uninstalled this app... Buzz Is way better in terms of support

Hi kartoonz,
Sorry for the delay, we understand that there is some lag, so here is a quick fix:
1. Uninstall Themer.
2. Delete the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder.
3. Reinstall Themer.
Also take note that a large update is coming this week which should also fix any lag issues.

Marco,
I actually tried themer on my m7, and every time I hit the home button it would blank the screen and sit on a loading wheel for a second or two, then go to the home screen. I do a lot of multi-tasking and bouncing around, so this led me to uninstall the app within the first day. I was rather bothered too because Themer is really awesome, and there are so many great looking "instant themes" that someone who's as fickle as me about how my phone looks really needs to have that kind of thing.
Can you speak to the lag/delay I got and if it was/will be fixed?

As Themer is still in beta, issues like lag are the hardest to fix. The way that Themer is designed, which is completely different to say Nova or Apex, means that our team often faces hurdles that no other launcher faces. Every update comes with new fixes, however we still need a few more weeks to iron out the lag.
That method I mentioned earlier is the best known fix to help with the lag, but hopefully soon there will be many more speed improvements. Sorry about that.

Followed the steps and now I can say that there's a 1 second delay when I press home sometimes.. I'd say so far about 10 percent of the time, which is monumentally better than it was. This means to me it's usable enough to enjoy your themes, so good work. I"m eager to see you make it even better. I wouldn't say you're finished the lag improvements but they're VERY significantly improved and I'll keep using themer while I watch to see what happens next

I conducted a brief search with no results, so here goes, whenever I open an app, whether it be weatherbug or gplus, or any app. When I return to the home screen I get the loading wheel. Sometimes it takes up to thirty seconds to load. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I hope this can be resolved. I think the issue occurs when you've had another app open for a while and return to the home screen (themer). I don't recall encountering this issue with other launchers, so fingers crossed it is an easy fix.
It is getting pretty frustrating, and I'm going to go back to use another launcher for the moment, but eager to use Themer so will be keeping an eye on this.
Keep up the good work!

There are a few themes now on themer that do a lot of clicking to go screen to screen but scrolling is still possible to go to the screens, so I would like to see an option now to disable scrolling for the home screens to make this more effective.
Unless it is already on the app then can someone show me how to do it?

Sent an email to the developers again to see how easy it will be to implement. Features like this sound easy to implement, but in reality it might take a week straight to get right, and in that time the developers could be fixing a ton of bugs and adding in performance improvements.

Running jb 4.2.1 on galaxy s2, standard samsung non modified rom ,happens randomly here mainly when I try to add any widget to a theme that is a themer widget.I have had random reboots and lately random locks when I try to apply themes for which I get a report screen,these I forward on to yourselves.

@ThemerSupport
I'm still on v117 as if I update past that I just get a black screen when returning to home from a app if I push my home button. But if I exit a app using the back button sometimes I could still see the theme but 75% of the time I'm left with a black. So I rolled back to v117 where the only bug I get is every 3rd export I do crashes themer an I have to reboot my phone.
I have a Motorola RAZR I (xt890) running stock 4.1.2 with no mods not even rooted.
I dont get a report box with my crash after export all I see is a box that pops up saying themer has crashed then after 2-3 second it disappears just leaving a gray box that say loading which just stay there till I reboot and all it shows of the theme that was exported is the wallpaper but no widget's. And as I say its EVERY 3rd export not even random.
If there is any more I can do to help just let me know
EDIT: sorry forgot to say my RAZR I is powered by the Intel atom 2ghz cpu . do you have full Intel support is it done in the same way as most apps where its optimized for arm CPU but will run on Intel via the aid of arm to Intel emulation.
Just thought I'd ask is this might be a issue your not aware of this as I know the RAZR I is the European version of the RAZR m which you have in the U.S just with a different CPU IE intle.

Hi bro I've now saved the 1.17 apk.
So now I will do the latest version update and see what I find.
At least that way if things are to bad I can roll back.
As I cant remember on which version it was but on one I had a black bar at the top of my screen with the .APK I'd in big white font. So i rolled back 1 version and did the update again but still had the same issue. So I uninstalled themer all together and then reinstalled as a fresh install and all was fine. I did make a post about this but it seamed I was the only person that had it.
But when I've tested the newest version I will feedback what I find in way of bugs and crashes

Thanks for the heads-up. Will inform other to try a reboot if they've been having those issues.
Yes reboot cured it,am working on a couple of styles and have hammered weather use with no further problems,again had a couple of stutters when saving theme
Has anyone else experienced an issue with Themer where you select the drawer icon or the games icon, etc and it either takes 5 seconds to respond or it takes a second tap (or third) to make it finally appear? In fact, none of the "widgets" respond. Double tapping will immediately bring up the menu, so it's responding to that. It seems as if the widgets stop responding after awhile. Other times, it might take a tap and then another tap a few seconds later for the widgets to respond.
I've also had it where it just doesn't respond at all. A reboot doesn't seem to help. But, if I change themes, then it appears to fix the issue for about a day.
I've uninstalled Themer and reinistalled it and that seems to help for a day or two, but then the problem persists.
I also notice it appears to happen more frequently if I modify a theme and add my own widgets.
Not sure what the issue is and I do understand it's beta. I love this app and hopefully, this issue can get fixed?
I am running it on an unlocked and rooted RAZR HD running the Nexesque 3.6 ROM.
Thanks!
Yep getting same error here too using latest version and again it is frustrating,removing all themer files and uninstalling does not cure it.I also have another error here see attached,when this happens I get the old ghost image of an earlier version,again reinstall/reboot does not clear it
updated to latest version and now the problem is not there anymore,try updating your version now m8 see if it corrects for you
the only time I had such an issue was when my status bar was visible. It seems that it pushed hotspots down a bit so they did not align properly with icons. As soon as I've hidden the status bar all was OK again...

After posting my find, that's what I had decided. I went ahead and uninstalled Themer and reinistalled it going back to defaults.
There still was a lag sometimes. With the latest update, it doesn't seem as bad. At least, I haven't had an issue where it completely hangs and freezes.
This is still my daily homescreen driver. Sticking with it.
Well, upon further review, the lag between selecting a widget and it actually responding has surfaced again with the latest update.
I hope this can be rectified soon. It's a little aggravating to select say the "games" widget and then having to wait 5 seconds or else, hitting it multiple times before it responds.
Not sure what the issue is. Wish I could be more helpful, but that's all I can say.
Thanks!

Hi iBolski,
Does using the 'clean install' method work for you?
As in: uninstalling Themer, deleting the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder, reinstalling Themer.
What device/Android version/ROM are you running?

Razr HD same issue with lag
I really love this app and would like to use it but I am having the same extreme lag issues. The funny part is that it takes a couple of days to show up like other people have said. It gets so bad it makes the phone almost unusable. I have to revert back to my standard homescreen. On my "standard" setup I have very little lag and only once in a while. I used quotes because I am running a Razr HD, rooted but locked BL, safestrap with Batakang ROM. ICS 4.1.1
Is it because we are on custom ROM's?

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).

Hello Good People,
Can someone please help with this odd issue. When opening the Sony Camera.app it displays a small view finder instead of full screen. I have tried clearing cache and fixing permission but no success so far.
Interestingly if I access the camera from the lock screen it appears in full screen.
Other third party camera apps work correctly too.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I have had this problem before...very long ago. I can't remember what caused this.
Are you on stock rom or any sony based custom rom?

I am on XSLIM v2.31 KK Rom

mmmm it brings back a slight memory that this is why I abandoned sony based roms because there was so many bugs especially this one.
And that I hated the sony ui. Now I miss the old sony ui. The silly piano lock screen..
Back then I flashed slimrom kitkat because this was the only aosp or cm based rom that didn't drain the battery when the screen was off.
http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/1243-togari
I probably didn't do anything to solve this problem because no one else had this issue when I brought it up.
Thanks SUPERUSER!
I totally understand about the bugs, it’s a trade off for sure. By chance could you recommend a "better" camera.app than the default one provided by Sony?
Thank you!

I tried most of the camera apps out there a month ago..most of them are filled with crap features, ads, a splash screen or welcome screen on start..why would I want that and other things that doesn't belong in the app.
Its a camera app not facebook or whatever random features included in it.
The few I found to be somewhat worth keeping are:
Camera FV-5 Good app. You can crash the app if you're doing heavy work or fast pressing or swiping in menus. But its not filled with any crap or unnecessary features that no one asked for unrelated to the app being a camera.
CameraMX <-- this one has a welcome screen...and other crap included so you dont get right in to the camera on launch. To get to the camera on launch: Press menu and tick "Open camera on start".
But the app has a Time lapse video mode so its why I kept it for when I might use this feature.
OpenCamera is my classic go to. Its a straight forward camera app with no crap or ads.
You might have heard of Manual Camera app but its far from every device that works with the app. And it has many bugs.
There are some other simple apps that has no wow factor like Moto Camera or Google Camera that works fine too I used the Google camera in the past because it does exactly what it suppose to. Take a picture.
SUPERUSER,
As always I am sending a shout out Thank You!
I appreciate you taking the time to respond in such detail and clarity. At the end of the day I just want KISS camera (keep it super simple) open app and it takes a photo, period.
Thank you dear friend
