I would like to download and install gearfaces themes. The file I find on my Galaxy S4 (4.3) is just the .wstheme file- not a zip file. I tried to rename to a zip file and was not allowed to change the extension. Wondering if someone knows the fix for this? Thanks!

Dont rename it.copy wstheme files to a location on your phone. Launch watchstyler on your phone, select Load Theme, select the directory where you put the files.

ok how do you put a app on ur phone when you download it from the web n u only get a zip file..thz
some of them either have the .apk extension changed to .zip, for those just change .zip to .apk
others are in the .zip file and have to be extracted.
the OP will usually say which of these have to be done. or you can just open the .zip file and look. if it has the .apk inside of the .zip file then extract.
if it has a bunch of folders then rename .zip to .apk

Which file and apk do I need to edit in order to change the icon that shows in the launcher. I know to change the messaging icon is in the mms.apk but I can find the apk to edit to change the phone icon. I edited the phone.apk but the icon hasn't changed.
DialerTabActivity.apk, I think.

Hi, I have a newbie question. I want to change the stock messaging icon in my phone. I already found the apk and the .png file. I read that I could change the icon by:
1. copying apk file to desktop
2. renaming the apk file to zip
3. changing the stock icon with the icon of my choice
4. renaming the zip file back to apk file
Then what? should I just copy the new apk file back to the directory where I found it? Please help. Thanks.

Double click the new zip file to view the contents. Do not extract it. Just replace the file in the zip interface. Then change the extension back to apk, copy it back to your phone, reboot, and profit.

Unfortunately that didn't work.
Is file on your phone or computer? What zip program do you use on your computer?
File on computer....tried WinRAR and 7zip.
I know you can open it in winzip and then do a save as and save it as a zip file. Not sure that will help.
Did you use the convert feature in WinRAR?
Is the download corrupt?
I'll try Winzip now see what happens.
WinZip failed too...any help?
What exactly is failing?

"Cannot open file. Does not appear to be a valid archive".
Sounds like it's corrupt. Download again.
Downloaded multiple times...that's why I'd like it if anyone could link me a good file :/
Cmon guys I seriously need help I can't use my phone!
Download playground and kernel and reflash.
I cannot flash the kernel...because I'm on S-OFF and I need to adb push the Wifi module driver...now to do that I need to change the name of the file in the zip. But I can't access the zip...
But isn't the Wifi module in the rom? If you are s-off, download the rom via computer, copy to sd card and flash. Do the same with the kernel. Unless I'm missing something.
The file isn't for unpacking as I remember you just need to edit the filename and remove the .7z extension and copy it over the current one.
It should only be S-ON users that had to do this as I remember too.

Hmm I thought the filename I had to edit was in the actual zip. Thanks...
You can't just rename a 7zip file you need to extract and than re-compress the files into a zip file.

You may also be able to open in winzip and do as a save as and save it as a zip file.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here, maybe somebody can tell me if I'm missing a step??
I am trying to install the noticounter widget and can't get it to take for some reason. I have flashed the zip file in TWRP a couple times now (it claimed it was successful, but it doesn't seem to have installed anything.)
Is there some other way of installing this that I am unaware of??

Just install it like any other app, no need to use TWRP.
Either install via ADB: adb install /path/to/app.apk
Or via Wondershare.
Alternate, download APK to your phone, use native BT file transfer and then install file.

I´we never posted any zips, here´s the correct download:
http://lundsoftwares.se/NotiCounter/NotiCounterWidget_v1.0.apk
If it looks like a zip is probably because your unpacking program makes it look like a zip.

I find sometimes when downloading apk file it downloads as a zip. Just rename from .zip to .apk
Then transfer to watch and run it on the watch

Yea, that's what must have happened.
Renaming it as a zip file worked fine however, thanks for the info.

No, with the new WS app you can import them. But, if you want to make changes to the jason file simply download the file and change the .WSTHEME to .ZIP using change name then unzip as normal

I have successfully unzip the file to edit the watch faces but what do I do to repack it into a .Wstheme file
good question how to repack edited files into wstheme again ?
A ".wstheme" is just a type of "zip" file. So to UNZIP a .wstheme just rename it and CHANGE the ".wstheme" to ".zip" then UNZIP it.
Now to zip it back up, just do the opposite. Just ZIP it back up, then rename the ".zip" to ".wstheme"
