i am pissed that they can change the theme of the status bar with that app but none of our custom roms have that ability it would be a nice feature.
ps not pissed as much as i hate windows mobile and seeing that feature in that app made me mad for some reason lol

You can be pissed all you wanna be. You don't like your status bar flash a theme and your done.
Fyi: that app dosnt actually change the status bar. It doers what alot of other launchers from the market can do and just hides the status bar. The only difference with this launcher it has its own status bar.

I installed it just to see it and I hate it. Don't like windows phones at all.

The only thing I liked about this launcher was the fade out/fade in animation when switching between the home screen and app list. I am not a fan of the layout and inability to have widgets.

After the last update, it actually does change the status bar to look like wp7. It gets updates every single day. That dev is really trying hard. And its just about fully customizeable, you can even add widgets! Pretty cool imho.

I dont man.. as much as I don't like wp7 I'm kind of digging this launcher.. its my daily driver now. I've always used laincher pro or golauncher and something about this keeps me using it. Don't knock it till you try it
Tapatalkin' it from my Epic 3g

Heres a quick vid of it running on my Epic .. Sorry for the blurry vid. my camera sucks. When you first install it its kinda of bland but you can customize it to your liking.

[Request] Miuiwiz theme

Im a pretty big fan of Miuiwiz since the first day it came out.
I was just curious if some one could make a theme so it would look like a iphone. Miuiwiz already resembles the iphone a lot but what i would think would be nice is also getting the iphone icons in the theme. Like safari icon and such.
Thank you if anyone has the time to try this! I would try but i don't know how

What if he prefers the look of the iPhone but wants the functionality of android? I really don't understand why everyone gives people **** for asking about iPhone themes, the fact that you can change the look so drastically is one of the best things about android. Flaming people for liking some aspect of the competition's product is the same kind of fanboyism that Apple relies on.

LOL buy an Android to have Blackberry UI. Craziest thing I heard this month
Blackberry system isn't a loved system/UI, so I don't really think there is much more than the ADW theme. A BB launcher, sure nobody made it. But you can start getting the icons (if you can find them in good resolution :S ) and start with an icon pack.
Also you can mod the status bar to look like BB.
LOL sobralobo! I just realized this is you when I looked up to read again the post! What are you doing?! Hahaha

Ahah antonio, it's just because I love changing the style of my phone. Sometimes I want android UI, then Iphone UI, WP7 UI and know I would like the blackberry one. I like it too. Too bad that there is nothing more than ADW.
Well now I had to stop trying some development and modding because I'll have exams next week and you ?

Hahaha you didn't get me! I wasn't saying "why would you want Android look like *** not Android?", but specifically Blackberry, which isn't precisally famous for its beauty nor its performance (okay, Blackberries have a keyboard and are useful for businessman blabla).
WP7 and its Metro style have been recognized as pretty, and I'm not the only crazy who said "oh, it's nice", so I'm not alone
I'm not of those who are Android 100% defenders and it must look like Android. You all know that. I was just messing with Blackberry (which I hate), making my point and also messing with Sobralobo a little bit

Fair enough, and I'm always looking for themes, but ones that DON'T look like anything else. And as much as you may hate blackberry, I DESPISE everything Microsoft, so from the moment I saw your theme I couldn't understand why anyone would want to make an android look like Microsoft (though I must admit it looks pretty cool) I feel the same about iPhones, if you want your LG or Samsung to look like an iPhone, just spend the extra $200 and buy one!

[REQUEST] App Drawer as Desktop?

does anyone know a way of setting my 4x5 App drawer from ADW or LauncherPro as my desktop screen, doing away with the home-screens entirely, but not horizontally like in MIUI?

Not entirely sure but possibly you could look for an app drawer app in the market, rename it to Launcher2.apk, and replace it in /system/app/ directory.
Of course, nandroid first!

just get an iphone already...

LOL! So true. If you want something like that just get an iPhone. Or even an iPhone Launcher on the market.

The best thing on Android is, that you can customize almost everything. So why he should buy iPhone where he can customize nothing?
I guess it is not bad idea to have home launcher like this. Though I won't probably not used it, because I am satisfied with stock ICS launcher for now.

We're kind of teasing him lol. Having the app drawer as the launcher would look just like an iPhone (just rows of apps icons). So we were saying if he wanted that he should just get an iPhone. If you really desperately want your homescreen like that drag all of your apps out of the drawer and put them on a homescreen. Problem solved?

Because he obviously doesn't want to customize the phone different from an iPhone. And if he was to try and put an iOS theme on there. Then why not just get what your trying so hard to resemble.

He wants to have launcher to scroll verticaly while iPhone launcher scroll horizontaly so I don't see your point at all. And the difference in Android vs. iPhone is just launcher? Nothing else?

[Q] Anyone using Themer?

I just saw this newly developed app, Themer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycolorscreen.themer&hl=en
Is anyone using it? How does it work? I guess the easiest solution is just to install it. But the waiting list is so long. I want to know if this app can install a homescreen theme without purchasing the apps that the original designers used. Thanks.

Looks like you can do the same stuff with exposed framework
Sent on my Moto X

yeah. I am using it. waiting for more themes. I check it every couple of days to see if I like any of them.

I'm not 100% sure what will happen if you get a theme that used widgets you don't have. The themes that come preinstalled use Themer widgets that come with the launcher so they work out of the box on any phone. One of the widgets is very powerful like uccw.
Sent from my Moto X.

Well, the waiting period was shortened. With this code "MSTRCD" I was able to use Themer...after five minutes, I decided to uninstall it for such reasons as: 1, not really customizable after I applied a theme. For instance, I cannot resize a widget. 2, There is no simple way to switch a default app if I change my mind later.
Themer indeed can do multiple homescreens. But again, it is hard to Create anything new.
So far, the major downside of Buzz is it consumes more rams than Themer.
If you are interested in using it now, I got the code from here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/10/10/grab-this-themer-beta-invite-code-good-for-40000-uses-and-help-mycolorscreen-test-its-beefed-up-servers/

freeintruth said:
I guess I am just trying to see the main difference between Themer and Buzz launcher. With Buzz, for the widgets to work, which I do not already have, I need to download them. Some recent screens on mycolorscreen require Zooper Widget that costs $2...and Buzz cannot yet do the overlapping widgets. I wonder Themer can actually solve all of them together and remain to be free.
Oh, forgot to ask one more question: the biggest thing with Buzz, for me at least, is to be able to have multiple wallpapers. Can Themer do various homescreens in case I like three or four screens?
Thanks guys for the input.

I bet most people that build themes will use the included widgets and other built-in features. You can have as many pages you want and can have different wallpapers for each of them. Have a look at this video about how to theme with Themer...

I've had it for about a week and I like it. Like said above , it needs more themes but that will most likely not be a problem when it is out of beta. And to the post above it is actually still very customizable. More that the stock launcher but not as much as something like nova. I am impressed by it and can't wait to see what they bring in the future.

Got a free code for Themer: TJMUH7. Enjoy

I tried it, but concluded that Themer is basically for the less experienced and the lazy users. The biggest problem with it is that it requires you to set it as your default launcher, which means that you lose all the useful features of nova launcher or whatever custom launcher you had before. No matter how simple it is to switch themes, the launcher is too important to the overall android experience to replace it.
With that said, if you take the time, you can port whatever full theme you like from mycolorscreen.com using the appropriate apps and get proper theming without replacing your launcher. Personally, themes are not a big deal because I feel like I will get bored of it very quickly. So I just stick with changing the wallpaper once a week and call it day.

Its a pretty cool app that makes theming your phone really easy by just selecting the theme, downloading it, then apply. It's kind of like the MIUI theme app but I think that was for just lock screens. There was a couple really neat themes I liked, I just couldnt sacrifice all of my nova launcher settings for this launcher. Plus having quick access to my most frequently used apps on the desktop was a must.

I agree. Why not make your own? There are some really nice features. The themer everything widget just like uccw but imo better implemented. You can easily, without another app, set different wallpapers for each page. I'm pretty optimistic that it will turn into a great launcher, possibly better than the competition.

They just removed this from the voting yesterday, maybe they are adding this in soon?
I ultimately stopped using themer for the time being due to lack of functionality with G+ and Hangouts. I really like the unread SMS and Email counter that you can add (like I did with my modified "Now" theme), but something similar should/could be added for G+, Hangouts and surely other things that people use (voice, skype, IRC...)
BTW, I have nothing to do with this app. I'm fighting my hardest to stay stock/unrooted with my Moto X and themer is pretty nice helper when I start to get bored.
