Hello everyone
I recently made a video lock screen and exported it into a huawei theme with the hwtDesigner app. I have created the .hwt file and everything, but when I put the theme in my phone it doesn't show up in the theme app. If I put other template themes those do show up. I was wondering what is wrong with mine. Maybe someone could help out because it would seem nice to be able to use this functionality.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all, wondering if anybody could help me!!
Google has turned up nothing so far so im gonna ask away!!
I am currently using nobodyatall's cm7 2.0 on my x10mini and am wondering where and how I can save pictures that I want as wallpapers.
Basically I don't want wallpapers to show up in my regular picture gallery, I want them only to show in the wallpaper gallery when i go to change wallpapers.
Is there a folder on the SD card or the internal memory, or is there a way I can open an APK in winrar or whatever and drop the pictures in there?
Regards
A
There are two ways that I can think of for you to do this. First, just create a folder in your SD card labeled wallpapers (or whatever you want). Then place all your wallpapers there.
Easy way: Use QuickPics. It has an option to hide a folder from the gallery. Just long press on the folder and you'll find the option.

Still easy (just not automated):create an empty file in your wallpaper folder with filename ".nomedia" without the quotes. This will prevent the gallery from scanning that folder. This also works to prevent music files from showing in the player.
To change your wallpaper, if using QuickPic, just press your menu button > show hidden > enter the folder and click the picture > use as wallpaper. If you don't want to use QuickPic, use a file manager to go the wallpaper folder then select your picture from there.
Great sugestions, especially the hideden folder option, however what I'm looking for (I wasn't quite sure how to explain this properly before!!) is to be able to add images directly to the menu of wallpapers like when you long press the screen and it gives you options to change the wallpaper I get a list of options, cyanogen wallpapers, gallery, live wallpapers, wallpaper gallery and wallpapers.
I would like to be able to add wallpapers directly to one of these menus, so I'm looking for the folder in which they are all kept in. I found one in one of the internal apk's, but i'm not sure if I can just inject them into the apk and also whether i need to include thumbnail size png's as the ones included with cyanogen seem to have these to.
Thanks for a great comprehensive reply. If all fails, I'll be looking at the hidden folder option!!
Cheers!
That's a bit harder. Sounds like it shouldn't be but it actually is since you'll be modding an apk. Here are a couple of links to get you started if you're really interested in doing this:

Thanks man, some great info, the first post really hits the nail on the head, I didn't think of checking the other forums (duh me, it's all android!!)!!
So it looks like I will have to take out the launcher.apk and recompile it after editing the xml file that contains the details of the names of the wallpapers. I'm guessing this is some sort of framework xml for the purposes of creating the horizontal table that you can swipe across to view the previews of the pictures.
This makes sense I guess, loading a table reather than using up memory to load a gallery style viewer that indexes the pictures seems much more streamlined seeing that is only for the use of wallpapers, however I do like the wallpaper gallery style that the xml framewrok brings.
I guess I'm going take the newer(and some older) wallpapers from other cm roms and rename them over some of the exisitng files. This way I shouldn't have to delve too deeply!!!
Thanks again for the help and info leftAlone, you are a star!!!
Hello all,
I'm using the latest version of GO Launcher Theme Factory, and I've made a theme with around 30 icons, but I can't seem to add custom icons for other apps that aren't in GO's list. For example, I want to add a Nexflix icon for my theme, but I can't because when I double click on the add custom icon button, GO wants me to open an .apk file, not an image file. If anyone knows how to add a new icon to the list where it's actually an image file, or if anyone has an .apk file that I could download to my comp that has a bunch of custom icons listed (I'll make my own actual icons), that'd be great.
Thanks for your help in advance,
Bishop
Same problem here
Hey Bishop, Have you found the solution to this by any chance? I'm stuck with the same problem. :/
Thanks in advance!

[EDIT - 5 mins later... lol]
Just figured it out. Gonna put the solution here just in case any one else comes upon this thread:
The .apk refers to the .apk of the app whose icon you would like to customize.
So say, if you wanted to create a custom icon for Minecraft Pocket Ed, you'll need to add "Minecraft_Pocket_Edition_v0.1.2.apk" to GO Theme Factory via Icon Exchange> App Icon > Add/Delete App Icon > Custom Icons > "Add".
A dialogue box that says "Parsing" will be on screen for quite a while, then the icon will be added!
Can't believe it was so simple... dddduuurrrr (◔ ◡ ◔)"""
How to add a biggest icons to the theme? Like in Glass theme? Not 72x72. Something like 86x86 or even bigger.
icons don't change on device for some phones
Hello, when i try adding custom apk to add icons i get parsing error every time! Becausr some icons like music and downloads etc don't change with preset icons in the exchange. Thanks in advanced!
Making a new GO Theme Factory thread
Hey guys I have been going through the process of making themes on GO Themes Factory as well and think we all need a new thread where we can all come together and help others/ask questions. It will be under the "Android Themes" section.

Hello,
I've been using Zooper/Nova for a while and wanted to try making some themes with Themer. The problem is, how do I even get started? I understand the functionality of it and how you can download themes others have made and tweak/customize those. But, I just want a plan, blank set of screens to start with, like when I start up Nova for the first time. I don't want to have to apply someone else's theme and then delete everything just to start working on my own.
Am I totally missing how to do this? Is there a "blank" theme I can download or config file I can use to start out with?

Hi,
If you don't select a theme in the beginning, we give you a somewhat generic theme to start with. Yes it has icons and widgets, but we recommend once you have removed everything, save/export this blank theme for future use. To do that:
1. Remove all the icons/widgets.
2. Long press on the homescreen - Advanced - More - Export Theme.
3. Your theme will now be found in the My Themes section under Exported.
Visit our YouTube playlist for more assistance: http://bit.ly/ThemerVideos
Hope this helps!
Sorry for the vague title, no themes are available for Themer for connectivity issues on wireless, no firewall no restrictions and some zip installed themes keep flashing, like disappears completely and appears again, almost 7 - 10 times under a minute. Please help.
Themer is dead, so there really are no fixes to it's issues. All that you can do is search for the actual file of a theme you want, download it, place it in the correct section of your phone, then in themer in the themes section under categories click import. No pictures will show up while in the actual theme menu nor in the export section, but the theme will be loaded properly onto the phone. I have like 6 files of themes I use this way. At this point, theme is just a launcher for premade templates that has none already on it, so you have to add your own. Really wish I would have downloaded more before the mycolorscreen site went down. :/
