[GUIDE] Enable Themer on G2 Stock Based ROMs

[GUIDE] Enable Themer on G2 Stock Based ROMs - G2 Themes and Apps

For those interested in customizing your G2's here's a simple guide for installing Themer and combine it with LMT pie launcher to get a new look and feel on the phone. I did it on CloudyPro II so I don't know if will work on other ROMs but it should
The main ingredients you will need are:
Google Keyboard or any other keyboard you like.
Themer
Xposed Framework
G2 TweaksBox
LMT Pie Launcher
NexMusic or your preferred player supported by Themer.
After you have downloaded the listed apps the first one you have to install is the keyboard you chose and enable it as default. This is because you will need to disable the nav bar and after you do the LG keyboard will force close. Then as mentioned you have to disable the nav bar using G2 TweaksBox> Miscellaneous> check the "disable nav bar" box but don't reboot. Before you reboot make sure you installed LMT Pie Launcher and checked the first two boxes (Activate service and Autostart service) on the app's settings.
Then reboot your device and once you do you won't have the nav bar anymore but now you can use the LMT pie launcher to navigate through the phone. It can be launched by swiping from the left, right and bottom of the screen to the center. It can also be completely customized but I'll explain that later.
After you have disabled the nav bar, have enabled a keyboard and LMT pie is working you can install Themer as a normal app from the Play Store, choose a theme and apply it. Themer was recently updated to support LG's default Music app but they don't seem to get along that well yet. That's why I suggested to use NexMusic which has given me the best experience and works great from the lock screen too. You can select it from the Themer app and after you download it, it will be set as default.
So basically after you've installed everything your phone should look something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You can also customize the LMT pie and make it look similar to this:
LMT pie comes with a standard 5 buttons layout that should be enough to help you get through the setup process but if you want to customize it a little more you can go to the last section of LMT's settings, PIE, and there configure it button by button as well as the long press or even add a second line of buttons. The new custom buttons you choose will appear one by one as you select them. For customizing the color you can use a menu on the first section and there you can also raise the top radius, bottom radius and outline as well as many other features.
To add a lock/shutdown function you have to enable a custom key and set it to 26. That's the one that I have on the far left.
I started using it a couple days ago and haven't had any problem so far. The biggest loss you might get from disabling the nav bar is that you loose the option of using multi-window but I'm pretty sure there's a work around for enabling it on LMT; just haven't figured that out yet
Battery life is not affected at all and I can say it improved a bit on this specific theme I'm using because of the dark BG and UI. I wanted to share this because I really liked the way the G2 looks with Themer and also to start a discussion and see what new things I can learn from any of the apps I used.
Credit goes to all the developers of each and every app I mentioned so give your thanks to them and support their projects in any way possible. No need to leave thanks here, ideas and helpful discussions would be more appreciated.
Cheers

I was waiting for this, thank you so much.

How do you get rid of the Google search showing when swiping from the bottom? Pie control works from both left and right side but when I try it from the bottom, the search comes out.

That's weird, that shouldn't be happening
Only the buttons you enable on the PIE section should appear and on all three sides (bottom, right and left). If you keep having this problem try wiping the app's data from the app manager and start over configuring the pie.

[HOMESCREEN] Cover Flow Home screen

ok so this is a little guide on how to get the 'cover flow' style homescreen. first off, i think some of you (ok well a small minority) will be happy to know that it doesnt require root. all you need is launcher pro or adw luncher and multipicture live wallpaper. now there is a drawback to this method, which is you cant change your wallpaper unless you edit the .psds provided. oh and just for the record i am currently using miui rom but it is not needed. ok so here we go.
1) download the coverflowwallpapers.zip containing the wallpaper for each page
2) download either adw launcher or launcher pro from the market and apply as default home screen
3) get rid of the dock bar and icons from the launcher. it would be a good idea to set a swipe gesture to show the app drawer so you still have access to all your apps. i would also recommend changing the number of home screen rows to 5 to compensate for the row lost due to the thumbnails.
4) download MultiPicture live wallpaper from the market.
5) go to select wallapaper/live wallapers/then select multipicture and then press settings
5) using the images you downloaded from this post and change the wallpaper for each page. (seeing as im a nice guy i numbered them for you)
6) finally, got to the transition type and choose your favourite one. i chose to go with wipe as it makes the thumbnails look like they are rotating but some of the others look great too.
so there it is. hopefully this tutorial isnt too hard to follow. also if you have your won ideas/modifications, post them here cos i wanna see them too
heres a crappy video of it in action
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx0uGYOUWR0

thanks for doing this! trying it now.

2) download either adw launcher or launcher pro from the market and apply as default home screen
How'd you make it default?

Hit the home button and then a prompt will show your available home screens and launchers. Check the radio button on the bottom of the pop up and select adw or launcherpro. You can clear the "default" if you decide to do something else and not use LP or ADW.

after downloading a new launcher from the market, press the home button and it should give you an option to which launcher you want to go to. check the make default option and then press the launcher you want.

ok, how do I get rid of the dock bar and how do I set a gesture for getting it back?

The way I am doing it is by replacing the icons with a blank icon. Essentially the icons are still there, but invisible and I can still assign a swipe up gesture if I wanted to.

You probably don't want to use the term "cover flow" as I would be willing to bet Apple has a trademark on that term.

2 things :
1. first and foremost, thank you for actually listening to us and making this available for us to use.
2. since no one is really taking the initiative can you make several different walls and icons for us?
Thanks,

sorry I simply don't have the time to do that. this setup was initially made for me but some people asked me to share how I done it so I did. I knew not everyone would like the wallpaper and/or icons which is I why I uploaded the .psd file. there's only so much I can. also it doesn't seem like many people are interested but that's cool as i know this kind of setup is not for everyone.

Don't be discouraged. I've liked this setup since I first saw it--it's very different. If I hadn't just rehauled my own homescreens, I'd be slavishly copying yours.
I do have the time and tools to make something out of your .psd too, so maybe when I get home (i.e. to the PC with photoshop installed) I might try my hand at it.

Remove recent apps from notification pulldown

Hello all,
Big thanks to everyone involved in root/s-off.
With root is there any way to remove the 'recent apps' from the notification pulldown?
TIA All

I would also like to see a patch of some kind that replaces the recent apps with a on off bar..

+1 that recent app bar is so annoying

+2, add power widget options in instead!

Definitely needed!
I will never understand why they put the Recent Apps there when you can get to them by long pressing the home button.
There is a workaround until someone does this, not the best solution but it works.
In the market there is an app called Power Control Plus (it is a paid app) that will put the toggles in your notification area but it doesn't replace the Recent apps.

yeah, the toggles in the pull down are one of the few things I miss from the Fascinate I have. Another being the convenience of being able to drag left or right on the notification bar to quickly change the screen brightness.

I'm working on Rosie and Framework mods right now and this is on my list. I removed the recent apps from notification on a custom Hero ROM and will do it to the Tbolt. As far as adding the switches, that's a whole other story. We would have to port JsChiSurf's Evo work and I think I'll just wait until someone ports a Gingerbread Sense ROM, which has the switches in a tab.

Does it actually have to be ported or could you just rip the required framework elements from an evo rom and copy them to your tbolt framework?

I imagine the dependencies are different, so things wouldn't match up properly.

Question here: I too find the recent apps feature useless and liked the pullldown toolbar in Slayer's mods.(my personal favorite) I assume a mod like this could be ported or created?

Just getting rid of the Recent Apps would be an improvement until someone gets this done.
Another thing you might do if you can figure it out, one of the Z roms for the inc had the Verizon Wireless banner made about half the size it is now. It looked better and took up far less space.
Even better if you could remove the banner entirely, I think we all know we are on Verizon!
Here is a screen cap with "Power Control Plus" It's a paid app but usable, now if we could at least get rid of the recent apps.

I tried widgetsoid but I didn't like the fact that when you click on any of the toggles it dissapears. If I want to cycle through a toggle (for instance "Brightness") you have to bring the notifications down again.
Maybe a setting I was missing but that's how it worked for me.

Yep I would be happy with the recent apps removed and using widgetsoid or something for toggles.
Thanks everyone.

Best . Forum. Ever.

I used Widgetsoid on my DX. Easily one of my favorite apps. However, now on my TB, my Widgetsoid widget in the pulldown is blank! I can't see the buttons. But if I press, it shows up, until I unpress. Any thoughts?

Recent apps gone, along with some other mods here. Now on to JsChiSurf's power control mod and Lockscreen mods.

I'm proud to present my new app: Notification Toggle.
With this app, you can place different toggles into your Android status/notification bar for quick access without having a dozen toggle-widgets on your homescreens
You can choose which toggles to display in the settings of the app. You can also change the color of the icons as well as the icons completly to fit your systems design.
The app is for free in the Play Store, would be nice to get some feedback
Download
Some notes:
not every toggle will work on every device: especially the flashlight functionallity is very erratic and every manufacturer implemented it somehow different. you should install TeslaLED in addition to notification toggle
some settings aren't changeable by user apps, so it will bring you directly to the android settings (like GPS since Android 2.3)
if have a rooted device, you can install the app in /system/app to directly toggle GPS even on Android 2.3+ Click here for more information
Issues with the TalkBack service? See here
Some nice icons: (you can also use this app on Android 2.3+ to download the icons)

works well on my G1 with SuperE.
if i find any bugs, i will let you know

Works great, needs some theme support or basic coloring of the icons would be great,
Any chance that we can change stuff straight from the status bar, without having the pop-up menu like in CM7 status bar,

i think thats only possible in the latest android version. i dont think it will support anything lower than froyo for that feature

yeah, some skinning stuff is on my to-do list... edit: icons are now changable through menu -> skin
toggling without the pop-up is possible on some devices (e.g. on a htc legend with stock rom) but on most it handles only one click-event per notification. unfortunately it seems not to be possible for user apps to change that

Nice work. I'm just curious why you can't directly toggle GPS when something like SwithPro can.

well, there might be some hacks to somehow toggle the GPS, but the official google API doesn't allow you to do that.
actually, android itself turns the GPS off is no app is using it. so google intention is that you let the gps settings enabled and let the system handle turning it on and off

Working great on my LG G2X o

The app works well, except the flashlight (which was the main reason I downloaded the app) does not work for me at all. It's a Samsung Galaxy S (Fascinate on Verizon). The phone DOES have a flash, but no change when I toggle.

great works with my hd2 with ud 3.3

Is the toggle for 3g included?

Just gave it a try on my LeeDroid (2.4) Desire, works quite well
The lack of Power Control Widgets in the notification bar has been one of the major things stopping me from moving to the Gingerbread LeeDroid build, this may just make me move on over

Sorry - i found the 3g/Data toggle ;-)
Buy the way - realy great app!!!

Looks great, I'm about to try it out.
The marker screenshot shows that there's no percentage display for adjusting brightness. Would be great if I could actually see how much % of brightness I set!

i recently changed from a gingerbread sense rom to a nexus S rom on my HD2
I much preferred it but the only thing i was missing was notification toggle....NOW i have again thank you very much!
One thing I would like is if notifications could appear ABOVE the settings rather than below it- if this is possible?

Thanks mate! This solves the only downside of this ROM!

Why would you use this over Widgetsoid? Just curious and wondering I should switch or not.

Somthimes you find a app wich should have been part of Androide, and this is such a app!
1 thing im missing is the posibility to toggle betwen no sound AND no vibrate or Normal. Now you can only toggle betwen Normal and Vibrate.

Just tried it on my Legend: works great.
Here's a couple of suggestions though :
Would be nice if the icons were grey whenever it's off. For example, if my WiFi is turned off, the icon would be grey, and black when it's turned on.
I also believe you can toggle GPS directly. Oh, and by the way, when I click on GPS my phone shows the security (lock screen and stuff) settings instead of the GPS settings.
I would love a Battery icon (with percentage) and a volume control shortcut.
Anyway, thanks for all your work

Flashlight doesn't work on Motorola Defy with Pays v3.3. With Widgetsoid it does.
Can't 4-5 toggles be put in a row, something similar with power controls widget?

Just wow! Awesome app! Just, could you add an option to always have it on top of three navigation bar for all screens? I use Chroma keyboard and with that loons awesome!
Maybe making a quick toggle for all apps to show over the navbar when the keyboard is displayed?

Very nice idea and design too

More like an option to have the round parts on the navigation bar at all times, here is an example of my issue with it not applying when the keyboard is shown.

Really a nice feature, reminds me of the old MIUI days with rounded corners. App is configured clean and simple, great work!

Can we have some more promo-codes? I was late.

Just found it in XDA APPS, really like it!
Running perfectly on HTC 10 with Maximus HD ROM, it reminds me the good old days of PALM PRE...And MIUI...
Hope it won't take much battery, I'll keep testing! :good:

thank you. i like the round corners

Great idea...but botom corners not working for me:crying:
S6Edge
Update
Reinstalled and working now...

Nice look with s7 edge

New update killed full screen mode bro, heres some screeners for ya

Yep know but only miui and xiamio or devices with no navbar. Will fix soon.

Any chance you could make the experience seamless for rooted users? It bugs from time to time, flickering between normal/rounded edges with certain apps and so on!
Thanks for this anyway, its so solid with my S7 Edge. Grabbed the premium version!

Feature request: Is there a way to add a setting to ignore certain apps (instead of disable?). I use pie control, and every time I use it, the screen will be overridden with the pie control round corner settings. This would also be useful for the keyboard as well.

Pretty nice app. I really like it. I even would buy premium, but it shows up in MIUIs taskmanager/recent apps. And it does not work good on MIUI 8.3. I quit the app accidentally when clearing all, and then it did not work anymore after restarting. Permissions were given properly of course.

Question how to unhide status bar?

s22 ultra, snapdragon, 256gb unlocked, running on att in the USA
somehow my status bar is now "hidden"; I can drag it down if I want to, but I want it displayed all the time
tried a couple of fixes from Google, including the samsung browser one, but didnt fix it
any ideas? thanks

You mean so it show the icons?
Should be in settings. Do a search there.
Lol, I went to a lot of trouble to get rid of all those AMOLED burning buggers on my N10+

already tried all that with no success

They may have done away with them but I doubt it. Search in settings for "status bar" it's likely due to a 3rd party app interfering.
Same in safe mode?
Good Lock Quickstar isn't installed and stock launcher? The status icons should be visible on home page...
Malware is another possibility.
I use a combination of different settings in Android 9 and 10 to disable all of the icons on the status bar.

Nova launcher uses a lot resources than One UI and lacks some of it's features... just saying.
One UI is very customizable and stable.

I agree that one UI is a thousand times better than it used to be; I have been using samsung phones since the S1, and I remember how horrible it was for a very very long time.
In spite of that, I prefer the customization's you can do with Nova Prime, and, aside from a few years recently being an Iphone fool, I have gotten used to Nova over several of my recent phones. Plus I have a few saved Nova customizations, and you dont get the option to have other configurations on One UI the way you do with Nova..

I had Touchwiz on a S4+, what a dog.
The N10+ is totally different. Nova doesn't manage the app tray as well.
Pick theme (the basic high contrast ones work best)>pick icon pack>pick wallpaper then use the Goodlock family of apps and One handed Operation plus to modify it further.
