AnyCut and BetterCut don't work with new update

Sorry, I posted this in the General forum at first but got no responses. I think it's better suited here.
I searched high and low on xda and on google for a solution to this and couldn't find anything.
Has anyone else noticed that anycut and bettercut no longer work with the newest EVO update? I've been trying to create shortcuts and it will say Shortcut Created even though nothing was really created. Either that or it won't say anything at all.
Is there any other solution to creating your own icons on your phone? This was one of my favorite features and it pains me that it's gone because I'm developing my own phone icon set and I kind of NEED to have that ability to test how they look on the phone...
Are there any other apps that can do this with the new EVO update? Any alternate solutions?

You can change the icons in folder organizer. when you add a shortcut to the desktop, tell it to add a folder organizer item.

Disabling slide to unlock on KP V4 rom

Heya, I've recently installed Khalpower's V4 rom. Pretty awesome job =) However, I wasn't able to disable the "slide to unlock" screen. Since I'm using the pattern lock, there is no need for the slide to unlock screen anymore. The original moto rom would disable the "slide to unlock" screen when lock pattern is enabled. Is there an option to do so in KP's rom?
Many thanks! =)

Also, have realised that the camera button is not working. Have anyone experience that? Also, is there a known issues/bugs thread to keep track of any problems on the custom roms?
Thank you!

AFAIK the slider issue is there on all of the Froyo ROMS here (Dexters, Xavwanteds & Kahlpowers). I've never seen a fix for this issue.
If your talking about the gallery button (small button next to the shutter) this is also a known issue.

Ohh ic, thanks for your reply
Any idea where to get the old ringtones cos i really like the meadow grass ringtone =P and also the 15% battery sound notification is quite creepy :S anyway to change it?
Thanks

I should be able to dig up the default ringtones when I get home.
Look in /system/media/audio/ui, I would think you could replace LowBattery.ogg with the sound of your choosing (IDK if it has to be an ogg file or not?) that should work but I haven't tried yet.

Oic, do i access there using root explorer? Anyway if you have the default ringtone meadow grass would be great =D cos i backed it up only with recovery so didnt have the ogg files.
Thanks again

That reminds me... I've been meaning to ask someone for this ages ago. Do you or anyone else have all the ringtones from the 2.1 (there were a few I liked but I can't remember the names) and the wallpapers as well? (there was a really nice blue one with white swirls that looked great on the screen)
Would be appreciated.

teh ringtones

teh wallpapers

Many thanks
How can I put the wallpapers on so it shows up as an option to choose from like in 2.1? (I mean like if I would longpress on homescreen I could select from a little gallery of wallpapers in the normal wallpaper way)

Ahh cool Anyway, how to gain excess to the root files? Tried with all kinds of explorers but didnt work. Root explorer is paid app so didnt try that. Didnt work with su on terminal as well.

If you long press the home screen >> wallpapers >> media gallery you can browse pics on your sdcard. I believe you would have to decompile edit and recompile the home apk to get them in the default wallpaper gallery

Hmm, this one works as I would like it to without having to decompile anything https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gfxandroid.honeycombwalls&feature=search_result . I'll try out the first thing, maybe it won't recrop. Thanks
EDIT:
Yeah, able to crop perfect size with these ones - maybe other times I had bad size images. Thanks

Universal Search on N8013

Thanks to Apple, Samsung devices have lost their universal search [searching google, local apps, local contacts, etc.]
I tried this solution on my GS3 and on my N8013 and it brought back the functionality.
I take no credit, all credit goes to XDA's eyecon82.
I'm just letting you US-WIFI-only owners know that it works.
It's very useful for me.
As eyecon82 said himself in this POST:
1) Download the apk at the beginning of this thread, place it on your SDcard (or phone) where you'll find it easily.
2) Install root explorer (or equivalent, I used root explorer though)
3) Go to /system/app and mount as R/W
4) move GoogleQuickSearch.apk somewhere else, just so you have it if you need to restore it
5) Go to where you placed the full-featured apk, copy/move it to /system/app
6) Long-Click on GoogleQuickSearch.apk, select permissions, and set to rw-r--r-- (ie, row 1: yes yes no, row 2: yes no no, row 3: yes no no)
7) Hit okay, mount R/O, and quit
8) Go to Settings > Application Manager > All
9) Select Google Search, and clear data/cache
10) Select Google Services Framework, clear data/cache
11) Reboot
12) ???
13) Profit!!!

Nice. Thanks.
Although this will probably get moved to apps and themes section. I dunno.

yea, i guess. i usually don't post.
I wouldn't know in what section to post this.

This just gave me a reason to root. Thanks man!

Moved To Themes & Apps​
As Nefariouss pointed out, this should be in the themes & apps section.​

Universal Search via Google Search on you desktop. There's no icon. It's Google Search, but universal.

It's already there. Look at your desktop. See Google??? This simply changes the scope to universal.

LOL...that is what I'm trying to do; however, I wasn't sure what the google search looked like. That's why I was inquiring if it looks like a blue square with a g on it in the app drawer. I'm pretty sure it is, now; however, it's the widget I think you're referring to. Thnx for the assist.

[Q] Missing "Google" icon

Hi,
I've just installed the Android 4.3 cyanogenmod (cm-10.2-20130909-UNOFFICIAL-crespo) on my Nexus S and everything is ok, but I don't have the "Google" icon. This is the icon from where you can launch the google applications like gmail, play, etc. Is it in the 4.3 at all? It is very useful for me and would like to use it.
Thanks,

Did you flash gapps?..

Can I dowload the .apk for this? Is it an .apk? Thanks,

Looks like you're talking about the folder on the homescreen with all the Google apps in it?
If so, you can make your own easily. Put one app on the homescreen. Then drag another app on top of it and it will magically become a folder. You can add a whole bunch of apps to the folder in the same way, rearrange them however you like, and change the name of the folder to whatever you want.

Using Icons From Themes In Nova Launcher

Is it possible to use the icons from the stock Theme Store in a 3rd party launcher such as Nova?

Did you ever figure this out... I know we can change the icons but only built in one's show up

If your rooted, you could use a file explorer app like root explorer to go into data/app and find your themes appicon folder. Inside you will see a base.apk. You can copy that base.apk onto your phone and extract it, or pull it onto your pc and extract it. Inside you will see a res/drawable-sw360dp-xxxhdpi-v13 folder. The icons are in there. Save them in a folder on your phone and manually edit your icons in Nova on your homescreens and /or folders to replace icon.
I know it sounds like a bunch of work, but it really doesn't take that long. It's about the only way you can do it.

Here's what the folders for the themes look like in data/app.....

I've been trying to make a similar change. I'm using the Sense 7 Launcher and the only icon I have left is the "Apps" icon. I'd like to change it out with this icon.
I have looked in data/app/com.htc.launcher-1 and copy that base.apk to a different location on my phone. Opened the base.apk. Found res/drawable/all_apps_button_icon.xml
My question is what is the best way to convert my image to an .xml and replace the one in the base .apk so I can paste it back into the original location?
Ugg. I sure hope that made sense?

Yes, as long as all those steps are done in that order. It's okay, but yours are way better than I've seen in the HTC Themes store

Thanks. My AnaKonda theme got released in the Sense themes about 3 weeks ago. I think it's in the others section. But those themes are pretty simple and don't really get into deep theming.

Sweet. I hope it gets lots of hits. Can you see how many downloads it has?
