Problems changing a few APP Icons - Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I changed my Homescreen App icons using 7-Zip and it worked pretty good. Except some icons just don't change.
I have problems with the built-In Google Apps: Google Drive, Hangouts and Play Games just don't change.
I used this filenames:
- com.google.android.talk.png
- com.google.android.gms.games.png
- com.google.android.apps.docs.png
Any idea what's the problem?
Thanks!

I am facing the same problem

we all Do Guys , its all about Huawei Launcher even though I like it a lot but when it comes to icons we need it to be more professional. I was face the same problem with WhatsApp+. I stopped using it because of that
just we need a developer to make a specific theme with same google roms icons.
ANY DEVELOPER HEARING ME ?!

That's weird. I tried some different Themes (the stock ones) but the Google Apps won't change their icons...

Hi,
i created a theme for my p7 and have the same problem (Drive, Hangouts & Maps icon).
It's really annoying when you have almost changed every icon and then it doesn't work for the last 2-3 icons.
Anyway, i found a way to change the play games icon, try this file name, it should work
com.google.android.gms.games.ui.destination.main.MainActivity
(without the space between "M" and "a" in "MainActivity". I don't know why there's a space, looks like a bug )
greetings from Germany

Google Streetview stopped working?

Has Google Streetview stopped working in v4.0 of GMM?
Or is this an issue with the Leo?
On my Touch Pro I would just hold the stylus to the screen and a menu popped up with Street view as an option.
On the HD2 I can't see, to get to this. A finger on the screen brings up the address of where I am touching and a small picture that looks like it could be Street View, but I can't select it.
It this my fat monk fingers or has it stopped working on the Leo or in this version of GMM?
If it is still there, I'm guessing it doesn't work with the compass yet (for turning the view).
Ta,
FM
go to menu-layers and there you will find street view hope that i helped you!
FONTS???

was curious when i saw this post. I dont get street view near me either as i dont live in a city. I can confirm that street view is available in London but i havent tried other cities. I just held on the map until the location was displayed and then clicked that to get more options and one was streetview. im presuming other cities such as Liverpool and Manchester may have street view also.

That's bad news indeed...i've got a lot of mods done allready. Thanks for your answer I'll try uninstalling some cabs, what worked for you?
Simply uninstalling Googlemaps will also work and is quit less time consuming

reinstalling google maps does not help.it will stay the same.at least it did for me.i would try first some apps which are older or using simple types of GUI.i had this problem with GPS Speedo app as far as i can remember.
I just pressed the screen/card and get a menu. Here you can chose streetview!
I found it yesterday, but its being a bit flaky finding places that I know have streetview (as I've looked at them before on my Touch Pro).
It seems that in this new version (4.0) you hold a finger on the screen and a cross appears. It then automatically tried to find the adress where that cross is.
When it find the address a ballon pops up over the cross with the adress AND a small streetview picture.
Tapping that Streetview picture does nothing!
You have to press the 'Select' softkey at the bottom which brings up a menu.
Briefly, at the moment, I see 'checking streetview' but streetview is not an option on the menu that pops up. Yesterday streetview WAS on that menu.
So... that's where it's gone in the new version, bt it seems to be being a bit flaky at the moment.

[APP][FREE][4.0+]Wheel Launcher Lite

Hi there!
Check out my new app
Google Play ID
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fossor.wheellauncher
Wheel Launcher is a side panel that sits on top of everything on your device. Wheel Launcher does not interfere with your main launcher, but provides a fast way to reach your favorite apps and shortcuts - just press the semitransparent icon. You can hide the icon by dragging it off the screen. Wheel Launcher allows you to add any shortcut that is provided by your apps, like direct dial any of your contacts or settings shortcut, like battery, sound, Wi-Fi and so on.
Wheel Launcher is in early stages of it's development, so if you have anything to ask, suggest or if you found a bug - do not hesitate to drop me an email.
Features
• Fancy circle design
• Basic shortcuts to some common apps - dial, gallery, email, messaging, camera, drawer
• Support for any app on your device
• Support for any shortcut on your device
• Theme support, not much at this point, but there will be more
• Left/Right sided
I will appreciate, if someone with 4.3 - 4.4 can send me a crash report. :fingers-crossed: Those emulators can't be trusted.
Doesn't crash on 4.4.2
Crashed 4.1.2

Ok I just updated from play store and it's fixed now. Thanks! You've done a great job. It's a really useful and good looking app.
But I'm short on memory and this takes around 30MB of RAM so it's just a luxury I can't keep
But anyone with good amount of memory go for this app :thumbup:

Thanx man! Are you on xxhdpi, cause on my xhdpi the app takes 17MB when it's closed.
There could be more crashes, cause someone said the app wont even start for him. So if someone experiencing the same, i would love to see the log. :cyclops:

Ok since you mentioned 17 MB I gave it another try. And yes without any theme on it's 16/17 MB on xhdpi. Last night I used it with the black theme on so it spiked to 30 MB.
And I already have a Sidebar which takes around 15MB and it serves me well.. So don't get me wrong your app is beautiful and very cool, but I hate the memory constrains I have to deal with
But I'm glad I helped you fix a bug with the log.
Hope people love your app like I did. Regards
It's not crashing on 4.4.2 for me. Great job!
Made some bug fixes and new theme available:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fossor.wheellauncher.androidwhitetheme
Full version with folder support and unlimited number of items is available
Two major updates
1. Added a new white theme.
2. You can now change the position of an item on the main wheel and inside folders
Suggestions
First, just wanted to say that I really like the look of this. Running this on AICP 4.4.2 on a HTC One. Couple of quick suggestions/questions: First, is there a way to turn this on/off and/or a setting to enable on boot? Is there a way to change the position/size of the trigger area?
On a side note, I've used an app called circle launcher (pretty much since it was first released) as a widget on my homescreen to launch my most used apps (about 15 or so). I've really like this because with the launcher icon being transparent, it provides an easy way to launch apps without messing with my layout (no matter what layout i'm using). Have you considered creating this as a widget and/or being able to launch this as a short cut? I could see maybe using this as a custom nav bar button or something similar.

Hi there, thanx and I glad you like it. You can hide the icon by dragging it off screen or by pressing "hide" button on the notification (the app will return when you unlock the device or press "show"). Currently there is no autostart after boot, but it is on the to do list. There is no size changes on the trigger area, but you can change the position by dragging it up or down (it is always floating) and/or by changing side (left or right)
As for a fully transparent trigger area - I saw a lot of feedback (on other similar apps) when users wanted to have a visual representation of this area, so I made it with a flag icon. If there will be more requests to make trigger area fully transparent, perhaps i will add this option too.
And here is some video:
youtube.com/watch?v=uIWDlf1Dai8
New update on both versions:
You can now change icons on a main wheel. Supports most of the icon packs.
Another update:
Trigger now can be set as a rectangular shape in addition to the icon. It can be of any size, color and opacity, up to fully transparent.

Music work for me too but Quick Music didn't work. You can use other players to play music and control with Quick Music.
In Android 5 they change some functions and you didn't have control of other player.

oops I meant QuickMusic (I use Google Play for music, so I use QuickMusic a fair bit) - in 20A none of the third party apps work, but when I flashed 20C I tested them all and everything (except hide settings) was working fine, at least for me anyway.

Try this to make QuickMusic work. Try opening it once from quickcircle menu (case closed). Then OPEN quicknotifications. If it's the first time, you will be asked to open the case, do it. Now you are in "Notification access" menu. Is there "QuickMusic"? Select it and it should work now with your preferred music app (using Spotify here without problems).
ATM I have no option to check it myself - does QuickCircle from this zip work with CM12, or there's no chance for that?
doesn't work for me, cm12 d851. When I click go to settings it forcecloses
Sorry for being away for such a long time, I sold My G3 for a Note 3, and now I'm back!
So I'm going to fix all the problems ASAP

Its because this mod is made for STOCK firmware (LG's one, with "quick circle" in settings).
--> CM12 is not based on LG firmware, so quick circle doesn't actually work on CM/AOSP ROMs

Welcome back yoavst. I've been keeping an eye on your app on the gpad forum.
I have a request, if it's ok.
Is it possible to add xdabbebs XCam to your quick circle app please?
XCam is a great app but I find I take 80% of my pictures with the quick circle case closed, so have gone back to using the stock camera.
Thanks in advance.

What's the problem with stock camera on QCircle?
My App for G Pad, won't win, Since Android Wifi-Direct API sucks, and Bluetooth is damn too slow.
So it will probably work for me only

There's nothing wrong with the stock camera as such.
I'm a novice at picture taking.
I just see that I can get nicer looking pictures with XCam. Especially when used with the paid app.
Good luck in the competition,the gpad is a very underrated device and it really deserves some love.
LG really should have built upon it this year too, instead of releasing those 3 mediocre tablets.

what are the best apps on f-droid to get? (with black themes)

I'm looking for black themed apps specifically for like Gmail. I've come across in GB insta YouTube vanced and even face Slim. Those have been great, still looking for a decent email application with a black theme. If anyone knows the best apps to get on f-droid share them here.
I'm interested to see who considers what app to be good and why. Also there was a YouTube alternative app that allowed downloading app videos what was that app called? I'm sure someone on here will know.

I think the YouTube you're thinking of is called OG YouTube.
As for black email clients, I've been using the Samsung one. It's a little different to get used to but not bad.
Bromite, open source Chromium without Google's crap, if you care about that
Newpipe, very lightweight YouTube client with downloads and dark mode.

Check out YouTube Vanced - it's the regular YouTube client but with all the ads removed, has black mode, background play, and a lot more features! It's basically the way YouTube should have been designed in the first place!

even though download doesn't actually work for me. never seen the option even

For email im using TypeApp which has a dark theme and fairly customizeable appearance and can support multiple email accounts. Its not on f-droid however so if you dont have/want to use google play store you may be able to find the APK for it online.
If you use the hex theme creator it sets gmail background to whatever you themed background colour to.

If you personalise, setup the colours and settings you want. Then at the bottom build theme. Once that has finished, go to theme store and apply the hex theme.
Gmail, Google Photos, Play store and some others will theme.
The only issue I have found is multiple accounts in gmail I have to select the account swipe out of the app and back in every time I change account.

Interesting, I'll have a thorough look at the app hopefully it's as simple as you make it out to be. Cuz it comes packaged with two apps one being the theme selection store and then one of your own personal customisation. Also do you have to reapply the themes after every boot up? Or after every update do you have to uninstall each overlays like substratum if you wish to update?

Forget to mention that you need to turn on night mode in the hex app.
No the theme stays there all the time, when you make changes though, it seems that you have to apply the default theme then apply hex theme again.

This is fantastic and really useful. I thought there would have been a discussion thread about this? I just wanted say thanks and also ask why the icons went from normal size in v1.3.9 to super magnified in v1.4, will there be a way to change this? Also I can't seem to navigate the new app information options very well, there are no highlight changes in the menu when you move up and down. The screenshot looks very different

Honestly, I don't remember what the size of the icons were in version 1.3.9
If there's a popular request I could add an option to choose the size.
Can you add a screenshot with how the context menu looks in your device? What version of Android TV are you using?
@easyjoin after some more testing I found that App Launcher v1.4 works fine and displays the same as your screenshot.
There seems to be a glitch that occurs when launching the app after install, confirmed on multiple devices with both versions, which I had mistaken as "super magnified" icon changes in the v1.4 update.

This screenshot shows the version of the app for phones and tablets. It seems that the Play store instead of using the Android TV activity when opening the app, as it should have done, uses the one for phones and tablets.
Good to know even if I couldn't fix it since it's a Google problem.

Well that makes sense then, and I found after testing that it's not an issue once you re-launch it.
Thanks again for such a great app !!!

Now that it's clear what the problem is, I can try to find a workaround.
Fun fact: there is a one star review on Play store of someone who complained about the size of the icons. If he had contacted me, via email or here, as you did, giving me the chance to get more information about it I could have tried to find a solution long ago. Unfortunately, many people don't know that the Play Store, as it is structured, can't be used to analyze bugs and the best thing is, after leaving the review, to contact the developer by email.

That's sounds great, and the ability to choose a wallpaper file would be nice too!!
