Hi!, I would like to know where I should post to offer my "services" helping with the design of icons for apps
I make icons for personal use for some apps that have ugly icons, trying to make them more compatible/according with Lollipop, and I thought it will be helpful for some developers If I help with the design of the icons (the main app icon), at least for me, I try to have all apps with material design or a decent icon app.
So, well, thats all, hope to have an answer and thanks for your time!.

I'm guessing there is a way to extract it from the standard ROM and use some kind of template or program to add an extra row of icons, maybe even add widget support.
Would like to know step 1, and from there, I'd do most of the work and research after.
I have glanced over the old WidgetLocker theming thread...but haven't really noticed whether you can duplicate much from Sense 3.0 lockscreen, outside of the slide up ring.
Thanks for any suggestions, flames, comments, criticism. If its a bad idea, its a bad idea...just curious and wanna know.
Building and theming a rom, Wondering a few things, And searching for things this deep doesn't prove too useful very often, And ya just gotta ask. I'm trying to get a first impression wow factor with my rom. Make it stand out.
I've themed quite a few icons, And i'd like to be able to have select icons, Specificly the one's themed together be in their place in the dock upon a fresh flash
I'd also like to edit the default place to be the 4x1 instead of 4x2, So it'll be something different from first look. Please help me guys!
Hi yall,
Just want to know some info about the best apps/other things to use with Launchers.
For example one could use Nova Launcher + Minimalistic Text + Widgetlocker etc.
I am looking for all the possibilities because of themes I am going to create.
While I am working at the Ubuntu theme at the moment, I am looking for the effect that Ubuntu mobile gives when you slide your finger across
the apps on the launcher bar at the left of the screen.
And also all effects that Ubuntu os supports.
So can you give me some concrete good info about this?
I am looking forward to all your responses and feedback.
PS
Please do not dirty up this thread with replies as:
Apps or suggestions that have nothing to do with my question.
My preference for replies goes to experienced themers.
Don't wanna insult nobody, but I really need this thread to remain clean and practical, you know what I mean.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Dizzy
Hey XDA-Developers Community,
I've browsed this forum multiples of times and finally decided to make an account. I've seen these ads on Themer and everyone's awesome home screen and all. But here are a few question on Themer that I have.
Note: I don't own an Android device at all(or any device), I am asking these questions so when purchasing an Android phone it'll work well.
Will Themer work on any Android Phone/Device?
Will Themer work on the HTC One M8?
Will Themer work on the Google Nexus 5?
Does Themer make my phone waste extra battery?
Does Themer require me to root my phone?
Users that use Themer, describe it in a few sentences
Thank You to anyone who can help clarify my questions and all :good:. Thanks!

Hi there, glad you joined!
1. Themer won't work on any phone, as our team has to configure each team to match the current supported resolutions. For the current list of supported devices, see this link: http://support.themerapp.com/knowledgebase/articles/263019-what-devices-are-supported-
2. Yes.
3. Yes.
4. Themer uses the same amount of battery as any third party launcher. So if you change themes too often, you won't notice any more battery usage than with other launchers.
5. You don't have to root your phone to use Themer.
6. Themer is a homescreen replacement (launcher). It changes your icons, wallpaper, widgets as well as your app drawer. Changing themes is easy, as you simply tap Apply on the theme you want, and within seconds you can have a brand new theme. No external apps are required as everything you need is built into Themer. Also, once a theme is applied, you can still make lots of changes to your homescreen in order to make it suit your individual needs. Please see these videos too, as they will help further your theming knowledge: http://bit.ly/ThemerVideos
Hope this helps!
Hi All,
I've been using Themer for quite some time, adding the odd widget here and there and changing the configuration of other people's themes, but I now want to design my own homescreen.
The Themer webpage basically says 'use Zooper and/or the Everything widgets' and I can see that they're extremely configurable. However, when I look at the themes on the XDA thread and on mycolorscreen.com, a lot of them seem to have been built using a one of the other major launchers, such as Apex or Nova, and with widgets from other sources (Beautiful Widgets, ADW, UCCW, etc.).
So my question is this: what advantages are there to using Themer if everything works fine using Apex or Nova? I can understand that Themer is great for sharing themes and for using someone else's themes on my phone (and thank you for all of those!), but if I want something that's just for me – would I be better off just designing it in Apex and leaving it at that?
I was planning to have various elements 'slide open' by using the 'jump to screen x' command within Themer, which is a neat trick and looks very slick, but it seems the same sort of thing can be achieved by using PopUp Widget.
Is there perhaps some system advantage to using Themer? Does it take all the elements used and then 'flatten' them in order to streamline processing? If so, I can understand the advantage.
Please don't think this is in any way a complaint or criticism against Themer – I just really want to know!
Thank you for your help,

Hi Miles,
Very good question actually. Themer's main goal is to allow people to apply beautiful-looking themes in a few seconds. I've created over 200 videos on the MyColorScreen YouTube channel, with many of those homescreens (using Apex/Nova/UCCW/etc) taking over 30 minutes to configure, and that's if you know what you're doing. However as you mentioned, some people just want to make their own theme, disregarding any of the themes available. If that's the case, many people will stick to Nova or Apex because they're both good launchers that have many years of experience behind them.
So here's the deal - if you want a launcher that will do everything you need - stick with Apex. However, if you want a launcher that you will allow you to include neat looking wallpapers/widgets/icons without any hassle - go with Themer. Even you don't enjoy the themes, they're great for getting ideas. Themer is still in beta, therefore more features and improvements shall arrive soon!
Good luck
