[GUIDE][GO] Helping each other figure out GO Themes Factory! - Android Themes

Hopefully this will be the new thread helping others out who are working with GO Themes Factory for creating new launcher themes. There seems to be a lack of unity when it comes to non-programmers helping each other out with this topic. Unfortunately the GO Dev team does not have their own forum where we are able to post questions or even tutorials for simple tasks.
I'm in the process now of creating a tutorial video (youtube) start to finish on how to create a theme using GO Themes Factory. For now if there are any questions relative to this topic please post it here so when it is answered others can gain from it as well.
If you are posting please title the post as follows:
Ex. [ICONS] Adding new icons not on their list.
Ex. [WALLPAPER] Sizing appropriately.
Ex. [.9.png] WTF!?
Many users on here decide to create their own .apk in eclipse instead but this thread is NOT for those who are educated in the field of programming. This thread will be strictly for users who have minimal knowledge about the process.
Spanks and have a great day

[CANT PACK] Blank Notice and a button "I Got It"
Hello,
I've been trying to pack my edited theme but failed, I keep having the blank notice with a button said "I Got It"..
Is it just me or a server down for packing?
anyone experienced the same?
thanx

For some reason yesterday their server seemed to be having issues. I attempted to simply open a theme and was having issues. Theres definitely a lack of communication between the GO dev team and developers/designers.
Also try a hard refresh on your browser. I use Google Chrome and typically find that if I use the site for hours on end it tends to freeze up more.

Concept Theme Thread

I decided to create this thread for ALL concept themes as it seems to be becoming extremely popular to throw out concepts for user input and assistance. I see little issue with this except the forum gets flooded with concepts and WIP and those themes that are completed and/or consistantly updated are harder to find.
So what I purpose here is that all concept and WIP themes are shared within this thread and any input can be directed in private message, email, IM, whatever works best for the person presenting the work.
I hope no one misunderstands me here. I throughly enjoy the current themes and the NEW and up-coming ones as well, I'm just trying to un-crowd the forums.
Sounds like a great idea to me. If it gets too big, maybe make a subforum for it, also

One-Stop WP7/8 theme(s)thread

OK guys and girls, I'm listing a few links to some threads that I've come across on XDA and some other sites that will give you resources to help you emulate the look of WP7/WP8 (not a lot has changed in the aesthetic side of the two OS's). Its been a pain in the arse trying to find everything to make my phone look like WP. This is an attempt to put all finds in one easily accessible spot.
Credits of course go to the original authors/ OP of the respected threads.
Most of you may know about some of these threads, but for those of you who are new to these launchers this should help you out. I didn't see the need at first to create a new thread, but decided to do so anyway. If you find this helpful, add to it, hit the thanks button, and pay it forward.
Typing all of this from my phone at work, so bare with me for any grammatical errors.
Launchers
I'm only listing the two that I favor and think are the best suited. This is clearly my opinion. There are several out there, but these are my favorites.
Launcher 8-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920531
Launcher 7- ( can't get the Play store link because of my play store default on my phone. Just type in launcher 7 and it'll pop up in the play store)

Hubs Tutorial
I created this some time ago on rootz wiki. Most of you know how to do this. Again this is for noobs to the launcher.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/19575-launcher7-hubs/
Note: do not pay attention to the wallpaper instructions. Another thread link will show you how to do this.
Weather hub-
Came across this the other day and the OP did a beautiful job with this idea. I'm running it now and its gorgeous.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1989961
Apps-
These have been discontinued by the team and are now offered for free. You may have some compatibility issues based based on the ROM/Version of android you are running. Other apps such as calculator, notifications, music player can be found in the Play Store with free and paid versions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445855
For the Xbox hub simply download the Xbox smart glass app from the market.
One Note is also available.
If you want a better dialer, look for the many theme engine themes or use WP7Contact. There is an option in that app that will have it start up on the dialer alone.
Different Hub wallpaper tut-
After much searching and finally finding someone to help, this can be accomplished using Tasker. A special thanks to GermainZ for helping me with this and brandall for starting that thread.

If anyone else would like to contribute by helping others, pasting links to old and new finds please do so. I will continue to add to this and organize it better as much as my busy schedule allows.
Thank you

One more.

A simplified way to connect all developers, share work, etc

Before a forum mod even thinks of taking this down- I've been in contract with Svetius and this may go live across XDA.
I would like to beta test here- and give developers and others a good example of what we can accomplish- as a collective.
I'll simplify for anyone who wants to jump in- click one of the following links, and if you don't get it, read on:
This is a link to the view only version, with ability to comment..
https://docs.google.com/document/d/...MZAPx-mLF8tnXPmBV2V7fRo/edit?usp=docslist_api
Here is the developers/contributor linkhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/...MZAPx-mLF8tnXPmBV2V7fRo/edit?usp=docslist_api DO NOT CLICK THIS LINK IF YOUR NOT ACTIVELY DEVELOPING OR CONTRIBUTING- I DO HAVE WAYS TO REMOVE PEOPLE IF THEY TAKE AWAY FROM PROJECT!
If someone else wants to create a new document, please include a link to this instruction document I've already created.
If no one else jumps on creating a development document for unified s5, I will create and post the edit and view/comment links in second post, or add your document if you choose too
I will update and add to this post this morning- please allow me to get second post
As of this moment, developers, recognized contributors, or users are disconnected- and you may not have the time to go hunting each other down, or answer 500 PMS.
This is my effort to connect developers- it is a LIVE document, and it uses your Google account to grant the level of access you need. Because it is a live document, you will see AS other people type. I can give non-devs the ability to view and comment only- but in that way, even they may be able to contribute.
There's a built in chat box.
It automatically tracks who makes changes so no credit has to be given for your work, or you can create a document you own and paste the link in my document. This is how we create a "tree" of organized data..
Links do NOT BREAK.. So even of you move the document in your personal folders, any link you put into my or any other document will work. Period. I've tested this over 4-5 years, and I'm sure of this.
The same way it tracks changes, you can revert to old versions.. So if someone accidentally selected all and hit backspace, by accident or as a jerk, in a few clicks I can put it all back.
I've been taking to mods and development teams here at XDA, and we are going to be doing this XDA wide, or at least that's how it is looking - this reduces devs duplicating work, because it is Google document, it requires no sign up, it's probably on all your devices or easy to download..
Of we start sharing and get or section done, it will give a good example at how all other subgroups can do there's.
The link in my signature(amaze Bible) shows how robust these Google docs can get. Here is a link if you can't see it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679486

This third post will contain a table of contents once documents start taking shape.
Please help this project, as connecting developers, contributors, and users will help us all!
But I've been asked to make sure this doesn't REPLACE XDA.. So if you have any posts that may be helpful already on XDA - LINK BACK TO IT.
If this goes XDA wide, they may be able to integrate this into XDA with backbend tools.. This could get really cool really fast. Pm or post you're questions or comments- but follow the development section rules!

Follow yes, even help if possible
Click the edit link and go to the bottom where I put examples where I see this going.. You can comment (it explains how in the Google doc) if you don't want to change the doc itself.. So make suggestions, or even help me message a link to this thread to developers.. Because as I said, I've already been getting a pretty positive response from the top mod and his development team..
If we can show them this works and well, it will only help them see maybe this can be a priority.
I'm going to connect them with some backbend tools Google put out to integrate this into the site- so I need our XDA community collective to do/offer whatever they can to get or beta test product into something useful.
As a bonus, as easy as it is to link to docs, and link back to XDA.. We can reduce the number of duplicate questions, need for q&a threads, and the number of messages that developers get!
Even me, a recognized contributor- the more active I am, the more PMs I get..
So come on XDA collective- help me make this work!
It is now robust on a computer, but you can do 90% of this on any Google device you can install apps on

The amaze 4g is definitely a dated device, but we did this for that forum.. It helped a ton
Please, look at this example amaze 4g Bible and click the links in the take of contents which take you to the Google dochttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679486
I'd like this and more, stepped up a notch, connecting developers- maybe even creating new ones that we allow view/comment access..

BUMP.
I edited original post- if you're a Dev click the second link, if you want to contribute in some way, click the appropriate link.
You literally click the link, on just about any device, especially anything android or a computer- and you're in, and able to contribute. No sign up. No wasted time.
This is EASY as it gets, but I can't make anyone do this.. This is about us collaborating and helping each other, unifying developers in one place - and REDUCING WORK.. Because I'm seeing a lot of developers doing the same thing, and it is called work duplication.. And time that need not be wasted if you all work together.
On top of that, if I and other contributors, official or not, can be part of the process.. Well, think of it as processing power.
Please give it a try, and let's build a team.
for developers and contributors in the unified s5 forum - please check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2997834
I'm trying to increase our collaboration, reduce duplication of work- and maybe even help out a few devs that just don't know your secret Fix's
