Help with Go Launcher EX Theme Creator

Im trying to create a couple Go Launcher themes using the Theme creator Beta. I have all my environment variables set up correctly, I can run the editor. My problem is that when I try to add a custom image the editor wont allow me to finalize my selection and actually add it into the theme. Also, I can't export the theme into a .apk ...
I'm really not sure what exactly I'm doing wrong, and I'd love someone to help me out

[HOW TO] GO Launcher EX Theme Template

NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS THE THEME PROGRAM
This is a tutorial and download (salvaged from before the server crashed) of the GOLauncher EX Theme Template
With it you can create beautiful themes, with unlimited icons, for each package.
Now, here goes nothing:
1. Download the zip of the template here, and extract it
2. Open the english pdf and follow the instructions in there
3. Grab the icons you want, either from another theme or from your own sources
4. Give theme a good name (like gtalk for google talk) and resize them to a 72*72 png in Paint.NET
5. Go to /assets in the trunk_1.0ok folder and open appfilter.xml (I recommend Notepad++ for this)
6. Copy this into the file:
Code:
<!-- APP NAME (for your use) -->
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.quinny898.theme.miui/com.quinny898.theme.miui}" drawable="the png without the .png extension" />
7. a. Replace APP NAME with your own name, for your use to remember it, for example "N.O.V.A. 2"
b. Download LauncherPro to your phone from the market, but don't set it as default home. Create a shortcut on GOLauncher's desktop and select 'activites' (with LauncherPro icon). Wait for it to load and then find your app. Tap the name and lots of package name with activites will appear.
c. Replace the first com.whatever... with the app name, such as com.opera.browser
d. Replace the second com.whatever... (after /) with the package AND activity name, so it ends up as something like com.opera.browser.BrowserActivity
e. Do this for each activity name, until you end up with a list, under one <!-- -->, like this:
Code:
<!-- Asphalt 6 -->
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP.GLGame}"
drawable="asphalt6" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP.installer.GameInstaller}"
drawable="asphalt6" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP.MyVideoView}"
drawable="asphalt6" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP.GLiveMain}"
drawable="asphalt6" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP.IGPActivity}"
drawable="asphalt6" />
g. Replace all of the things inside the drawable ""s with the name of the image inside the /res/drawable-hdpi folder, but without the .png extension, so for example, if you had an icon name like asphalt6.png, it would be asphalt6
8. Go back to the trunk1.0_ok folder and right click in a blank space, whilst holding shift. Click Open command window here
9. Type makeall into the command prompt that appears and hit enter
10. Wait for it to finish
11. Take the _signed.apk fron the folder and put it on you phone's SD card
12. Install it using your favourite file manager
13. Apply it in GOLauncher EX
14. Hit the thanks button

Thanks for this tutorial,
I am using your other ECLIPSE Template, is way better and faster. Anyway, this is even more work than with Launcher Pro / ADW Launcher Themes.
I don't know how the biggest Icon Pack for Go Launcher is, but I searched some and some of them are only 700kb big and the biggest and most popular ones are 2MB big. So I would say they include around 100-200 Icons.
My Iconpack fro LauncherPro includes right now 1300 ICONS and I try to port it completely to Go Launcher. The good thing is that it won't be so big as on LauncherPro.
Started today and got 100 Icons, wow a lot of work. Will do some more tomorrow and maybe in a couple of days/weeks I can have all the Icons inside.
AND have not only the biggest LauncherPRO Icon Pack, but also the biggest Go Launcher Icon Theme

The/my iPhonious GoLauncher themes, have over 1400 icons, and 900+ of them theme from the drawer.
The theme also works with ADW, LP, CircleLauncher, DVR, and more.
if you guys look around, there are some serious resources that could help

Wrong APK Created
So I followed the instructions and it does create an APK, but when I install the name is "Theme Template Go Launcher". Also the icons that I imported don't show up - only the icons from the trunk1.0_ok\res\drawable-hdpi folder install. HELP!

Hi,
I'm getting a weird issue with the latest Go Launcher. When I apply my theme downloaded from play store (or even by sideloading it), the folders and the home button in the app drawer go missing. i.e. only folder labels show up, but not the folder icon. When I tap the folder label, they do open and show the themed icons. So, only the folder icons go missing.
Please see the attached screenshot to understand what I mean.
Could anyone please tell me what could be wrong in my theme build? Am I missing any PNG or some entry in any xml?

[06Feb2014][APP][Quantum Themer]Theme Chooser for Stock(Based) ROMs

Hi all!
Are you making a ROM? Want users to switch between Themes without downloading tons of zips and flashing them and ending up in a mess? Actually I made this App for my upcoming ROM("Quantum Radicle") for Micromax A89 and it turned out to work on all phones. Sharing is caring :cheers:
Here is the solution - Quantum Themer!
You maybe wondering how it works. The answer is:
Based on VillianTheme System! What I did was first tried to run the script on my Phone, ended up with 10-15 errors, fixed them! Now all this App does behind the scenes is Feed the Theme you select to the script and the script does the rest! But if you do see, the VillianTheme Template itself is nearly 600 KB and the App is just 650 KB
Let's get Straight into the list of features!
Features:
Works on all ROMs - Stock, Custom, AOSP, eh, you name it!
Preview of Themes before Applying
Custom File Extension for themes(Default is .qrt, if you do dig my App, you will find this being set in com.adhi.quantumthemer.ThemeSelector Class. Feel free to change it! But don't kang the App)
Single Button, no hassles!
In-built File Explorer
Theme structure is so simple that, even a "Starter" doesn't take more than a minute to understand
You can use it in your ROM. Just copy the APK into your ROM and provide your users with Theme Files, you don't need to ask permissions, just give me credits
Just include files that need to be replaced/modified, cutting down the size of your themes by a great margin
Scroll down and search for the download link, you'll tell me more
Framework, System Apps, Data Apps support
Will modify APKs in a ROM, without changing signatures, and can be used on any ROM where the filenames of themed files is the same.
Should not need updated between versions of a ROM
Zipaligns all APKs before installation
Stores a backup of all files being modified in /sdcard/vrtheme-backup/
Requires no coding abilities or editing of files - just drag and drop
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now, this will be "Copy, paste" from a VillianTheme Tutorial on "How to make Themes". You may skip to the last point if you know/understand how it works! I strongly recommend you to have a look at the Attached theme for reference. Open it with your favorite Zip Browser(WinRar, 7-Zip)
Check this thread out as well.
Inside the qrt file(Which is to be opened with a Zip Viewer), you can create a folder called "system" and "data" and include a Preview of the theme named "preview.png" or "preview.jpg"(All folders and files without Quotes in their names). The former is required, the latter is not required unless you wanted to theme a data app (strongly not recommended, unless you know the app will be there on every phone)
Inside the system or data folder, create a subfolder "app", and in these, make subfolders named EXACTLY after the APK name. For example, to theme the Browser, you need a folder called "Browser.apk", for Statusbar, "SystemUI.apk". It must be correctly capitalised.
Within there, place the files you require for your theme, in the relevant locations. So most PNGs will be in res/drawable-hdpi/. You can put in xml files too (those which are not in resources.arsc), if you compile them via apktool, and extract them with a zip tool.
If you do make it from scratch and zip it, don't forget to Rename it with extension ".qrt"

Click to collapse
Now lets move on to "How to use it" as I have too much time to kill now, I'm including this
How to Use:
Just Install the App(System, User doesn't matter). Click on "Select Theme" button and then select the Theme you want to Apply. It will ask for Root Permissions if its the First Launch. Next, you'll get a preview of Theme which is going to be applied and then when you press the "Apply" button, the theme will be applied and a Alert Dialog Box asking you to Reboot will appear. I suggest you to Reboot your phone at this point itself. And after reboot, you will be happy to see the Theme Applied

If you face any problems with this App, do the following -
Debugging:
1. Check whether /sdcard/vrtheme exists and contains four or more files/folders.If it doesn't, copy all the contents off vrtheme.zip in the assets folder of the Quantum Themer App.
2. Mount System as R/W before Applying Theme manually.
3. Copy /sdcard/vrtheme/zip and /sdcard/vrtheme/zipalign to /system/bin and CHMod it to 777
4. Type
Code:
sh /sdcard/vrtheme/i*
in Termianl Emulator or ADB and post the result here..

It wouldn't work on your Phone
You can try making your own Theme, its fairly simple

How can I make this work if, for example, I have a SystemUI.apk or framework-res.apk modified and I want to apply it on my phone using this app? It's possible?

A friend sent me to this thread. Once I read your description I got sooo many ideas in my mind! I am a big fun of VRT and this app could help me a lot if it's as I imagine it. Your idea is great.
Just one question for now, previews should be .flv? If yes, will it work ok if I make a slideshow-like preview?

Preview is a PNG static image!
Your post sparkled an idea in my mind too! Thinking of adding a Video Preview + Description

I just said that because your preview was an .flv file and I got confused. I didn't have time to open the .apk or the .qrt. I guess it was a misunderstanding.
Oh, and I'm glad I gave you an idea! Would be cool to see video previews. :good:

Because the resource files used are device independent, a file available to MOD on one phone may not be available on the other!

Some ideas:
Would be great if you can add more than one preview pic, in just one is hard to show all things themed.
Other thing is would be nice if themes with their preview remain on the app to just choose one and apply it, I mean like CM themes so you don't have to browse in folders and choose the qrt file each time you want to apply a previously loaded theme.
And finally that the app automatically make a qrt file of the backup that the app make when you apply a theme, so you can easily apply your backup if you didn't like the theme applied.

I have some ideas, and it would be great if you could implement those things.
First of all, it would be cool to have a folder where everyone would put those .qrts, a folder in /system (/system/QuantumThemes) maybe for us to be able to create packages of more than one .qrt and once a user flashes this package, those .qrts will be placed in this folder.
Second, another idea would be: when you open Quantum Themer it will automatically show themes from this particular folder(/system/QuantumThemes) without having the users to browse for themes in the mess of an sdcard. This way it would look more like a theme engine.
Third, how about categories or sections like: Toggles (/system/QuantumThemes/Toggles), or more specific categories like Status Bar Mods/Toggles (/system/QuantumThemes/Status Bar Mods/Toggles) those categories would be created and named by themers or ROM developers. There would be basically folders placed inside the /system/QuantumThemes and your application would just.
So, to give you a whole view of what I am thinking...
A user installs the Quantum Themer. The user flashes a CWM mod package created by someone. The user opens the Quantum Themer app. A window with all of the categories opens. The user selects a category. The category opens revealing sub categories. The user selects a sub category. The sub category opens revealing all installed mods for this sub category. The user selects a mod. A small or full screen window opens showing a preview, maybe a small description(taken from a file /.qrt/description.txt) and an Install button.
Well, that's actually a lot of things...
I thought it would be good sharing with you since you said you want to keep this active and update it. :highfive:
Hope I helped and I definitely hope to see such a great tool becoming better.

Thanks for your detailed feedback mate
1. I think /sdcard/QuantumThemer is a better place as messing around with system is not good for our device and there will be memory limitations in low-end devices. However your idea is cool and all your first 3 points were based on categories, I can take it as one great suggestion. Setting default directory to /sdcard/QauntumThemer is not tough either. I'm already working on a separate layout for displaying Description, preview and if possible a Video Playback.
2. Yes. Instead of laboriously setting up arrays for selecting Categories->Sub Caegories, a central folder on SD Card will be neat.
Thanks for your suggestions people!

Change dialer and settings wallpaper in any theme store theme?

As many of you know, many themes would be great if they just didn't have some super strange background in the dialer, settings, etc.
There's got to be a way to change this for any theme in the theme store.
Can anyone help us all out with a solution?
Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk

Here is what you need to do:
-Install the theme from the store
-Browse to /data/app and find all the folders pertaining to your theme. Then find the specific folder that relate to the element you ware wanting to remove the wallpaper from (ie. com.themename.settings-1).
-Copy the base.apk in the folder to your computer
-Decompile with APK tool.
-Remove the .qmg that is the background. Update your public.xml
-Recompile and use original signature
-Place APK back into folder in /data/app and set correct permissions
-Reboot

Yes, as long as you aren't sharing the theme as it's a paid theme. You will want to pull all the APKs and change edit the colors.xml looking for 454545 to change.

Unfortunately no, but there is a long method by which you can use some stuff from the theme you want to use as base. The steps are:
1) Extract every qmg file from each apk within a theme and rename the extracted apks to zip.
2) using command prompt run the following command:
Code:
ren *.qmg *.png
it will auto change the extension from qmg to png.
3) Transfer the pngs to mobile phone and look at the images you want to use
4) create your theme and individually replace the qmg which you identified from pngs with the base themes qmg. That's it.
I know its a tiresome task

nice:good: i made my first theme

Thanks, this is something..

First, thank you for posting this tool.
I'm still old skool in terms of theming, hard coding the system and adding/changing images to my preference.
It seems the the overlay themes are the direction it been headed for sometime so if the tool is easy enough and less time consuming, I suppose I could switch, plus the compatibility for many more devices and users is quite nice!
As far as converting/viewing qmg images install this to your phone and within the app select the apk of which you wish to view the qmg images and bam! It's all done, converted to png's viewable on pc and everything!
Anyways, thanks again!

I also found out one more way as this alp was not working for me on s7. Further, the above mentioned method is not working as the tool requires you to sign the apk with a certificate which you create with this tool itself and changing the files i think damages the signature. Nevertheless the 2nd way is to rename the qmg files to png. Transfer them to phone and then through the phone edit them. Add a small difference so that you can save it. Once you do, it will save it in png format.
