Need Help adding Wallpapers to my upcoming Theme

I have completed Framework and 2-3 more apks its turn of launcher its completed too just adding wallpapers is left
The problem is this: When i add more wallpapers (Wallpaper_name.jpg , Wallpaper_name_small.jpg) properly resized, after adding them to launcher, they sometimes don't show up in the menu -> wallpapers -> wallpaper gallery
or sometimes get added but while scrolling it comes to the thumbnail(small) wallpaper before it & hangs then says me to force close means its added but dosent even shows its small nor full pic.
only the default ones work
what can be the problem & how to solve this problem ?
I have tried :
1. Making the pic small in size(KB) by using PHOTOSHOP CS4 save for web & devices .... Still wont work
2. Tried usind different wallpaper from other themes......they too may hang or wont show up
some one plz help

This seems to be the problem we are all running in to. It seems to be a file size and free space issue within the OS that is causing the angst.
What I personally have decided to do is provide wallpaper pictures in a seperate downloadable file and just copy the images to the SD card to install teh wallpaper that way. It will keep the file size down and allow the user to choose the wallpaper that they want.

i havent been able to "add" wallpapers to anytheme, what i have done is just save my custom wallpaper with the same name as one of the defaults, replacing it in launcher and it works. my very first theme was like this so it isnt related to space issues

ya it isnt space problem its something related ti the jpg images i tried removing all the stock wallpapers only kept the one default , then added one of mine means it had only two wallpapers means even more space in the system partition
but when i install it it starts properly with default wallpaper but when i go into wallpaper selection it asks to force close that apk...
so i think the images too must be hard coaded or the xmls need to be edited...

trying using blank images to keep file size down. plus check out your theme size. roughly round 10.7, 10.8 is the limit i experienced. Makes sure you also signing your launcher apk

The theme is not complete so there only framework-res.apk, launcher.apk, contacts.apk, camera.apk in it with signed certificates and update-script in it
After installing it completes the installization successfully, then boots up properly with custom glow boot screen I can use the phone as normal, make calls, emails, and all the functionality...
But when I go to choose wallpaper, it hangs at the thumbnail image before the custom one... why is this happening I can't understand but I ll try getting it before theme competition...
Also I ll try using blank images and let u know... after m at home how I am in college...

Succeded but lost something
I have succeeded installing those wallpapers but i had to name it after the default ones so lost the default wallpapers...

yeah thats exactly what u need to do, just replace the icons or wallpapers form within the system, dont think there is another way to properly "add" things on top of the system...
and trust me, no one will miss the default wallpapers...

thanks guys i ll be soon posting the screenshots of my theme

Nailed that one Is there a way to completely delete default wallpapers by any chance (rm -r /......wallpaperX.png or something of that nature)?

Speaking of replacing things..... is that clock for FadeToBlue in the works? You've got my hopes up high when you've said you'd make one for me. Not a biggie, it's just that original FadeToBlue clock drives me nuts. Theme is all clean, proffesional looking and clock looks like...well...ummm... I should probably shut up now or I'll upset "Damnitpud"
Now, that I hijacked this thread....sangeet.003 , good luck with those wallpapers

Sorry

Tab/Phone UI Switiching..

I just bought a 8.9, to upgrade my venerable original galaxy tab 7 that's been working flawless for the past couple years. One of the things I love about the original galaxy tab is that its basically a big phone. I prefer that layout to a tab layout where everything is small and many elements misplaced or ridiculousness small. Changing DPI on the 8.9 really doesn't solve the problem and it makes it incompatible with app's download with Google Play and other probelms.
Basically id like to get the 8.9 working with a phone UI, not tablet UI. I read a while ago somewhere that switching between phone and tablet modes in ICS is very easy, simply editing the build.pro and removing the lcd density line altogether, and instead using the line:
ro.build.characteristics=tablet
-or-
ro.build.characteristics=phone
I'm on a ICS build on my 8.9 but that doesn't seem to work.
Any ideas or suggestions would be super appreciated

Just saw your post I was searching for answers for this myself. Simply change your LCD density to 240. Make sure to have something like LMT Gesture installed as you loose your navbar. This worked with the latest CM9 for me.

Thanks for the reply.. Ive set the DPI to 200.. most elements seems better though I had to do several reboots after I changed the DPI till everything worked well.. specially LauncherPro that got all messed up for the first reboots (I use it as an alternative to TouchWiz that is horrible). Ive been using Button Savior App which is decent. Compared to my Galaxy Tab 7, the 200 DPI setting I have not is still not as right. So, UR suggestion is to up it a notch to 240, correct? Ill give it a try!! Thanks again

Not sure if you experience any lag from button savior but I strongly recommend LMT. Yup, 240 is right! 240 makes it just like a big phone.

Also be careful if your on a stock ROM as it may crash certain elements of touchwiz.

Xperia Z Ultra Launcher.

I don't like the big icons on my stock Z launcher, so I use Nova Launcher.
I see the Z Ultra Launcher has smaller Icons all round - So can anyone port this over to the Z ?

Something like this idea...
This my current setup with Nova, the icons are set as small as possible.

Thw phone is just released, give it a time or try to port yourself

i should have said in the future... I know it's a bit soon but I'd seen a port from Honami so thought maybe someone had one for the Ultra Z

I have stock I just think the icons etc. are too big for such a high-def screen.
In the future when i'm getting old it might be different

how you changed the soft keys (navigation bar) icons

I use Nova Launcher, you edit the icons by pressing and holding till the menu pops up, click edit, click the icon and you can change it to whatever you want.

sorry I thought because of the low quality of the image that you changed the soft keys icons

Sorry, I understand now.. No they are factory.

Sorry for the OT:
If you do want to change your navbar icons, you can use this:
SoftKeyZ ★ root - Janis Elfert
Ensure you make a full backup or that you have the necessary experience to recover from any potential issues that may come up after using the app.
Sometimes it causes a boot loop or your navbar may disappear.
Most of the times, it is solely because permissions are incorretly set for SystemUI.apk, set it to 644(-rwxr--r--) if that happens
Let's move this to the thread you previously created to avoid going off topic here.

Accelerometer Apps?

Hey guys I recently updated my Pebble Original to 2.5 and got to know that it has Accelerometer. Now my question is that is there any app/game which can works on Accelerometer? I installed a game app named as Fallout I guess and there is an option to select motion control but whenever I do that app crashes.
Regards

The Pebble Team released the official Compass app. It might not be the thin you're looking for, but it's fun for enough to check it out.

Also I think you're confused. We've had Accelerometer (motion) support long before v2.5, many months now in fact.
What they added to v2.5 was Magnetometer (compass) support.

Have you already emailed the developer to let him know? It didn't used to, but I haven't tried it since probably firmware v2.2 or so.

[REQUEST] Stock Launcher for Custom ROMs

I've been unsuccessful in porting the stock launcher for custom roms since it's designed for SDK24 and keeps fc. Anyone have any suggestions on how to do so? I'd prefer not to use another launcher. I'm slowly learning Android coming from iOS.

If you haven't, give NovaLauncher a try. It's very customizable, and has a bunch of extra features!

Nah, I'm really just trying to figure out how to Port the stock launcher. I've used Nova, it's a good launcher and very customizable.

Try install the pixel launcher. Which 99% the same as the stock launcher

Hey, I googled Moto G5 launcher apk and it took me to tech droid. You can actually download the apk for the stock launcher and clock widget directly from the article or just search XDA threads.

It just keeps fc on anything above 7.0, I'm going to just edit pixel launcher for the look of the stock launcher. Thanks though...

Is someone successful in porting the launcher?? i really like the stock one..

I wish someone would. Above my skills. I've gotten about half way through editing Pixel Launcher too match this stock launcher.

i also liked stock launcher

Just install the Moto Z2 Play Launcher from here. It appears to be the exact same as ours.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-play/themes/app-stock-launcher3-t3617924[/URL]

a port from moto g5s plus will work on devices with 7.1.1
