Hello all!
I am new to theming and have a quick general question.
I wanna get this theme on the market! It'll be free and ill put it here for everyone.
But I am trying to theme "Gun Bros" and "Handwriting IME"
These are here:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.glu.android.gunbros_free&feature=search_result
Above name is:
com_glu_android_gunbros_free_gunbros$gluactivity
And here:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.KwanLye.android.HanWriting&feature=search_result
Above name is:
com_kwanlye_android_hanwriting_hanwriting$welcome
These both have $ signs in the name and for the life of me I can figure out how to name these properly. When trying to add it to a ADW template I have , i get the error saying it has to be 0-9 or a-z, no $ at all. I have tried without it and a _ instead. I am trying to now have it in a icon pack but themed in the drawer and everything.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I tried searching and asking around i got no where
Thanks XDA I LOVE YOU ALL
Kyle
anyone have an idea?

Hiya guys & girls!
The latest update to ADWLauncher has made me sad They have replaced the Nexus one style button for the App draw with there own icon. I much perfured the nexus one look.
I've spent most of last night (Much to the disaproval of my other half) trying to find a theme that still includes the old style 'row of dots' icon.
So my question is does anyone know of a theme that still has the old style or knows of an icon pack that still includes it?
Thank you in advance!

Well, makes me sad if you spent most of last night, trying to find a theme that still includes the old style...
Fix in 5 seconds:
"If you want the old icon design, download this to your phone and select it as icon when creating your custom shortcut."

So, I'm sure some of you are familiar with the app dock called powerstrip. does anyone have ANY idea how to theme it? The backgrounds for the app don't seem to be in the drawables folder at all.. I've been wanting to make it semi-transparent black for a LONG time now, but I haven't been able to.
Please help!
Hi,
i've saw this theme in several post here, but althought it's a nice theme, what's making me go " OMG!!! " is the clock.
Is there a way I can get only the skinned clock widget ? (I'm on CM7)
I've looked through the forum or even google, but cannot find anything.
Thanks in advance
Bounce.

Question Icon Replacement Guide
posted this in q&a- but had no response
Hi guys Im looking for guidance, I know it's possible to break open an apk file, find the .png being used for the icon and replace it with another .png. Can someone please guide me on how to do this, where to look , what to do, framework ect, I ve used the search button - but havn't found a definitive guide - looking at changing dock icons, txt, home ect and app icons. Ive found Android Asset Studio, which can be used to reform the icons for android - but unsure on the whole process.
Can someone shove me towards a definitive, easy to follow guide or produce 1 or give me a guide on at least 1 dock icon (software needed ect, ect)
Many thanks guys
you can use desktop visualizer to change app icons

Hi,
what's in your mind? Do you want a single APK that overwrite every .png files?
Do you wanna change the icon time by time?
I can't understand!!!
In any case, if u wanna get custom icons and replace them, u can use as WORGERM wrote, desktop visualizer.
A very easy app that allows you to insert custom widgets on homescreen (u can choose how big they have to do 1x1 2x1 3x1 etc) and the possibility to change the icon (choose it from your SD card) and the application to start when click on the icon.
To get the specific icons for replacement, i sugget you to use Photoshop.
I hope to help you with this post.
Bye

thanks for the responses guys, looking at individual apk, .png replacement and possible dock and probably apk icon pack edits
Anybody know what needs to be defined in an apk for Go Launcher to see it as an icon pack?
(And without using their "thememaker")

I have the same question!
+1 for icon pack
studying urcipo
How detailed of an explanation are you looking for here?
If you know everything you need to know about making an icon pack and just want the easiest no BS answer, it is this:
Create a Go Launcher Theme, changing only the icons. Yes, it must start off as a theme, just change only the icons if you wish. Assign each icon to its proper internal activity name Compile into an .apk and then sign the .apk. I'm guessing the red bold parts are the things that you would need to look into and are possibly not doing now.
More? Ok.
You don't have to use theme factory, you can use a template somebody else has created. ThemeFactory makes a good reference to the template, not the other way around. The template is a much nicer thing, trust me.
I'll start off with the simple-ish version I guess. In order to be seen as an "icon pack", all of the included icons are automatically assigned to their proper spots, and the user doesn't have to change each icon individually. I'm guessing this is what you mean by an "icon pack"?
Shortest answer on how to do this: Create a Go Launcher Theme that only changes icons.
You don't want to use their "Theme Factory". Ok. You have a few options here then.
1) "drag-and-drop" your own icons on top of somebody else's iconpack.
2) Eclipse . I'm hoping you know something about Eclipse
If you know nothing of the Android SDK or Eclipse, and aren't ready to study a bit and learn, go with option 1) or use themefactory. Either way, it'll be defined as a Go Launcher Theme in the end. But with only icons to apply.
But I'm assuming you either know something or dont mind learning. You can start easy with a template.
You'll probably be using a Go Launcher Theme Template in every case...rather than handcoding every single icon name out...unless you're really just hardcore in love with writing code.
I think this may be the best template. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421724 Worth the read. Getting a bit outdated with some of the new/chanaged SDK coding, but it's pretty easy to figure out what to change on your own.
Also, Quinny889 has two of them made. . Reminder...this is NOT the dreaded ThemeFactory app . These are templates that you import into Eclipse and customize/fill-in. The template then does the work of "dealing with" the Go Launcher/SDK compatibility issues.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324378 Best one. Recommend using this one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1314753 Older version, takes some tweaking to make work, but far more streamlined/simple once you do figure it all out. I recommend the newer template.
(Both are templates courtesy of Quinny 899!)
They come with instructions in PDF form as well...quite simple if you take the time.
Basically, fill in with your own icons. Compile the APK. Download/use ZIPSIGNER2 or similar APK signing program on the APK so it can be installed.
http://activities.droidicon.com/ -->You can get the names of the "activities" you assign your icons to here. For example, search for go launcher and you'll see what I mean.
Yes, it's a bit tedious in any case to assign each icon to its proper spot.
The TL;DR version to answer your question if you already knew what you were doing: Grab a template, build it up, compile. Sign it.

There are resources around for every type of launcher, just search! Hope I helped at least a tiny bit.
launcherpro DOT com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=7754 More in-depth, still very good reading even though it's LauncherPro.
