[APP] Text Clock widget, trial APK in thread

Hi everyone,
I know there's a fair few of these popping up, but I'd like to announce the publication of my text based clock widget.
I used to use Tajm, but wanted to tidy up the layout a little and add some customisation options. I figured there would be demand for this in the big world as well, so here it is.
It has a 2x1, 2x2 and 4x1 widget sizes. It currently only uses the default system font, but I intend to integrate the font packs that are abundant on the market.
I've also got it written to neatly support additional languages, which I will be adding as and when I can find a handy volunteer translator for a language!
I'm attaching the apk for you to try out. It will lock down configuration without a purchase, but you can still see how the default layout looks and works. If you like it and want more options and future versions then hopefully you'll buy it. It only costs 50p/79c
I can't post outside links yet, but if you search for 'Text Clock' somewhere like AppBrain I'm sure it'll come up. It also has a purchase link inside the attached apk.
Enjoy!

[Q] HTC One X and Theming

Hey everyone! So I switched from an iPhone 4 to the One X about 2 weeks ago and so far, the HTC is a beast! ALMOST no regrets switching (although the google play store lacks in certain areas). However, I'm pretty big on customization and my iPhone was jailbroken and all tricked out with different themes. So far, I haven't found the degree of customization that was available on the iPhone for the android. For instance, one big thing I noticed is that the notification bar on sense (or in general actually) is tightly integrated with the ROM, so you would have to make your own ROM to customize the notification bar, as opposed to changing images on the iPhone.
There are quite a few launchers available on the Android, which makes changing icons, docks, and lockscreens more centralized than on the iPhone which is a nice plus. So what do you like to do with your android? Do you hook it up with some themes, spice things up a bit, or keep it stock/vanilla? I'm thinking of developing themes, that's why I'd like to get your feedback.

You don't need to create a Rom to theme an android device most of the status bar icons are in the systemui apk you can use an app like 7 zip open the apk as an archive navigate to res drawable-hpdi folder you find all the battery, data WiFi icons in there find the icons you wish to replace them with size and name them appropriately and drag and drop new icons into the folder then push apk back to the phone. You could also try a Rom like miui aokp or cm9 which has tons of pre made themes available.

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely look into that later. I have tried the CM9 mod as well as the MIUI one, however they still have certain features missing (Sense camera along with 4G LTE). I'm just wondering what launchers/lockscreen apps you guys use and whether you pay for them or not. I have a GO Locker theme on the market right now, but I'm still wondering if that's the most popular lockscreen. I'd appreciate people's opinions on theming, whether they look at the play.store for them or elsewhere.

You could look in MyColorScreen.com to have an idea of what can be done on android customization. You will find some great work that people have done to there phones and what apps they use as well as wallpapers and icon packs.

Your welcome and I use adw ex launcher. Widget locker and MiLocker for lockscreen replacements. If you click the AAA logo in my Sig I'm a cofounder of the group android augmentors anonymous there you will find some great screenshots as well as resources that members have have shared.

Ah thanks, that's really what I was looking for. I've tried ADW EX launcher and I really liked it, but right now I'm using GO Launcher just because it has a few more effects features than ADW. And man, so many screenshots in your group! Probably one of the best Android groups I've seen on deviantart!

Home Launcher

I don't know about anyone else, but I have a BAD habit of wanting to change what my Atrix looks like, every 5 minutes. Sometimes its because I may not like the ROM and sometimes I may love the ROM...but need change. Especially, when I see a new ROM has been developed.
So I thought to myself...since I need change, how could I do that, without constantly flashing ROM after ROM. Stupidly, not thinking of this before - I have been playing around with home launchers.
I decided to make this post because I posted a few screenshots in the thread of my current ROM (Jellybeer) and I have had a lot of inbox messages asking what "theme" I was using. So I wanted to put this out there for those who have not discovered this home launcher. Now keep in mind, you can theme CM10 - and change the home launcher at the same time...which is awesome. Some home launchers even offer their own themes (which may change your icons, font etc) So lately, I have been spending more time combining themes of CM10 with different launchers, which led me to discover YANDEX.SHELL.
Its pretty basic, but offers some awesome visual effects (in my opinion). Which includes - its own dialer that you can use by default if you wish, a new look to your contacts, and my personal favorite - the carousel! The carousel is neat in the aspect that its animated. Its activated with the "pinch" gesture on your home screen and it shows all your home screens in a carousel that spins one screen at a time...animating any widgets you have on that screen (NOTE: Animated widgets are the widgets that are provided with Yandex)
The link and my screenshots are below. I hope this helps and let me know what you think! Cheers :good:

How do I theme using Nova Launcher? Are there guides? (coming from iPhone!)

Hello all,
So I am coming from an iPhone. Back on android after 4-5 years. A lot has changed. I saw a lot of beautiful homescreens around and want to replicate those. But none of them have steps/settings/instructions.
I have Nova Launcher Prime installed and I know where to get Icon Packs. Can someone point me at any good resources/tutorials?
Cheers.

You can take a look at mycolorscreen for example. I'm personal using the launcher they published. It's called themer. You can find it on playstore.

You can't really 'theme' Nova Launcher, in that there isn't a button you press to apply themes. Everything is done manually.
You will probably need a combination of widgets, icon packs, and wallpaper to get the theme you want.
Nova Launcher is meant as a replacement launcher that is both simplistic and offering more options at the same time.

If your into themes, there are a lot of theme communities on Google+. Many of the themers including myself have been launching our themes to the Play Store. Mycolorscreen used to be popular, but its slowly dying and the site has been having tons of issues, not maintained from the looks of it. I would look at Google+, deviantart, behance, dribbble, etc. I always post instructions on the Play Store for my themes, it just varies from themer to themer on how detailed they want to be.
As far as apps go, Zooper widget is still popular for widget creation, but the new boy in town has been KLWP and KWGT, pronounced "Kustom Wallpaper" and "Kustom Widget". KLWP is a live wallpaper editor, essentially its a full theme creator with built in "one click" apply/backup. It allows for animations, formulas, touch input and much much more. The best part is that its a live wallpaper with low battery consumption that makes it super easy to setup themes without going through so much hassle of setting up everything. When it comes to theming nothing compares to KLWP out there right now. KWGT is KLWP's little brother which is focused on just widget creation but without the animation support since its not based on screens.
Nova is still the king of launchers in the enthusist area, since it sticks close to Googles design language but with tons of cool features.
I would say, go to the Play Store and find a themer's profile like mine or someone else, and click on one of their themes, and the Play Store will show similar apps on the Play Store which will give you a way to see themes similar to the one your selected. Zooper widget packs normally have zooper in the title of Play Store themes, same with KLWP and KWGT. So you can easily find themes by searching by those keywords. Google+....just search and you will find tons of people posting themes, tons of communities with FAQ and tutorial sections, so much help from other users and developers on there that its worth checking out.

Go to settings. Search themes. It will take you to a Samsung store with free themes. You can get many themes there thag will change settings... Keyboard... Messaging... Etc.. I personally like the material dark theme. You can search within the Samsung store.

Most of the teeming is done with widgets. The popular ones are UCCW and Zooper from the Play store. Once you have those installed you can search "zooper widget" or "uccw widget" and you will see different widgets for those apps.
There is a general Android Theme section on xda. There you will find all kinds of widgets and icons that aren't on the store. You can also browse other people's creations.

If you're into theme or fancy homescreen, try Buzz Launcher

I just tried that KWLP thing. I'm lost... lol...

KWLP takes some getting used to but there are plenty of tutorials to get you started.
Check out google+ communities. There are loads there specifically for themes, icons and widgets.

I was too at first. Watch some tuts on Youtube, its the best theming thing around right now. No point in using anything else really.
Try these tuts by Brandon Craft, great place to start. Gosh, I didn't have any video tuts when I got started, it was hard to learn:
