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

[MIUI] Cyan and Pink Themes

It's been a work in progress but I think I've finally perfected my themes. They're more a compilation of a ton of other themes with a little bit of tweaking. I hope you enjoy. These will only work with MIUI.... Which i'm sure those who use MIUI would already know, but I figured I'd refresh ya. And if you completely hate them, then... don't tell me about it because i'm sensitive and it would probably hurt my feelings.
Updates 7.05.11
-Changed the lockscreen
-Updated the UI to the latest version of MIUI
Updates 6.21.11
-Fixed Dialer
-Tweaked status bar icons
-Fixed a few other bugs
-Added themed Car Mode
Pink Force

Nice start I love pink!!! Thanks!
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

I'm so glad you like them! The pink is my favorite too. It's the OCD coming out because my themes have to match my phone cases. Hopefully i'll be able to finish them in a few more colors soon!

I'm really loving this theme and all, but I have a couple of questions. How do I fix the fitting issue with the dial pad? It seems to not register the right buttons like when I press 5, it presses 3. Also, the icons that are not themed are very dark and hard to see, how would I be able to correct that issue?
Thank you very much!

Hello! I'm working all those bugs currently, I should have an updated version coming up either today or the next few days. Thanks for the info!

Also, if there are any icons you want me to theme, let me know. I'll be working on the transparency issue.

Thank you loved the pink one!
if you could fix the transparency icons issue it would be great

very nice, been looking for something like this. think it needs to be converted to the new format tho.

I like the outline color when switching screens love the folders. More background colors would he nice and maybe a window for the icon themer to add a reflection to the icons, and of course more icons themed. Maybe more wallpapers too. For folders just to try something different maybe a little more color and rounded to match icons. Love the theme for most part. Its my favorite out of the 7 I have you really should put in the market. Ill continue to test for you too.

[ICON] OnePlus Logo Collection (Updated 2014-09-28)

Hey everyone --
I was so used to using the Nexus "X" logo as my applications drawer icon on my Nexus 4 and 5 that I didn't think twice about using it as my app drawer icon on my OnePlus One. Then it occurred to me to use the OnePlus logo as the app drawer icon, but I couldn't find a version that was translucent. So I created one, plus one, plus one.... Here's the collection of OnePlus icons that I made. Hopefully, this will save some folks the time and effort if they want to use these as icons.
Some screenshots are included in the second post to give you an idea what I'm talking about...
Please note that these files are in the .png format -- it's easier to work with transparency in that format than .jpg. My trial and error indicates that they have to remain in .png format to remain transparent...
Have fun!
Changelog:
- 2014-10-03 - Lock handle icons added
- 2014-09-28 - AK variations added
- 2014-09-19 - U2 variations added
- 2014-09-18 - CM Blue variations added
- 2014-09-17 - all files more graphically clean; stray pixels have been removed and the images are bigger and more consistent. (It's not me, it's my OCD....); Official case and cover variations added
Variations:
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55824306&postcount=42 for lock handle icon variations
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55727836&postcount=25 for AK-kernel-themed versions of the OnePlus logo
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55555263&postcount=19 for U2-themed versions of the OnePlus logo.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55511675&postcount=11 for "official case/cover" colors of the OnePlus logo.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55539072&postcount=14 for "CM Blue" version of OnePlus logo

The steps are roughly the same, whether it's Nova or Apex Launchers.
0. Download the graphic image(s) you want to use from my original post.
1. Long-press the App Drawer icon (i.e. hold it for 2 seconds) so that a menu appears
2. Tap Edit, and the next menu shows the name and graphic image associated with that icon
3. Tap the graphic image (for App Drawer, it's usually a circle with several dots in it)
4. Navigate the choices and select the graphic image you downloaded in Step 0.
The following screenshots are for Nova Launcher.
Good luck!

Couple of questions:
1- do I just hold down the image in your OP and select save image. When I do so, it goes to my gallery.
2- now, when I try to edit the image to select the downloaded image files, they do not show up with my apps. I can fallow your nova steps fine, but not sure method to download the images to then view and select in the apps icon screen.
Thanks,
Ian. B
Never mind, got it figured out and it looks great. Thanks for your help.

I tried both transparent on apex and nova I just get white box.

Glad it ended up working out for you?:good:
Completely unrelated: someone asked me for a BLUE version. I'm just wondering if there's a demand out there for other colors besides stock red and white. If so, I can probably work on doing some variations.

Official Case and Cover Colors
All right, some downtime at work allowed me go a little crazy! :silly: :silly:
Here are the clear and translucent variations of the OPO logo using the official CASE and flipCOVER colors available.
Even did the bamboo one as a background. And the native black sandstone from the 64gb OPO.
My apologies for being "quick and dirty" -- there are individual pixel deficits that are noticeable when the graphics are enlarged (as in these full views) that are not visible when the files are used as intended as icons. As I have more time, I will go back and fix these and let ya'll know when my perfectionistic inclinations are satisfied. {EDIT: Completely fixed and cleaned up}
Enjoy!

OP updated, as well as Case and Colors Variations.
All images have been cleaned up and purified. Much better to my eyes....! :highfive:

Great
You should do cyan blue like cyanogenmod colors.

CM Blue
Just for WoohWooh, here's a spread of CMBlue OPO logos. Also included is the CM11 wallpaper-based variant. Hope you like!

My friend, I thanked you because you made my day! [emoji1]
You're looking at my next project, a widget that I designed from scratch, hopefully released sometime soon on Google Play when I get some time.
There's already four variations that have been made, but I have to finalize and publish them. Sorry it's not out yet!

U2 covers
In the category of going completely overboard, I'm offering these variations up with appreciation to my favorite band. I'm disregarding the fact they are in bed with a certain fruit company and forced millions of people to have access to their latest album.... which I actually enjoyed more than their past several attempts.At any rate, I thought these looked kinda cool...

Thank you for icon :good:

Black stock Samsung email?

There used to be a black version of the email app. I installed substratum, but haven't learned how to fully get it going. So I'm not sure if it will theme the email app or not. If not, does anyone know if there is a black version of the email app still?

I actually have swift dark myself. I just started with the substratum system and this is my first and only theme. I'm having problems with the "online" status of Andromeda. I finally got the basic theme working, but none of my apps changed to dark. I was disappointed, but then, I read about some of the issues. I have had a chance to hook the phone back to the machine, in order to try and get Andromeda online for good(if that's possible at this point???).. But I may have some time today to try..

Yes they seem to be Chinese devs with their main focus on money making and there for have added some kind of verification feature to andromeda to stop piracy. This is a mega pain in the rear end but it's only for non rooted phones so you could just root your phone and then the hassle of andromeda will be gone.
In regards to the theme it self I had many issues my self but I used the telegram group for swift dark and I found the many random people there very helpfully in explaining the how to.
From what I can remember was u need a modded version of substratum which they linked me in the telegram group.
Also I had my apps themed which caused major issues due to apps getting updated and after the updates I got FC spams. In order to stop all that u need to carry a damn pc in your back pocket to reapply the stupid theme for an updated version of the theme.
Or you can just disable to auto app update in play store but I forgot all about this annoyance and tapped update all which rendered me screwed as I was out and about without a pc in my back pocket.

I am currently using the High Contrast Theme that is currently available on the Samsung Theme Store. Which provides you with a black background.
