I have a Question in my first post.I'm using Ahome on my HTC hero and i really like the theme that i have now but the Icons don't really match (well, some are, some aren't). So my question is :How can i change the icons ? I know how to download icon packs but how do I use the icons and replace them for my current icons?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI liked how on my LG Dare that I could drag icons onto the home screen and place them how I want (not locked to a grid). Not only could I arrange them however I wanted, I could also place as many as I could fit (almost). Is there a widget or app that allows me to place a "box" on the home screen to toss apps into. Right now I've found 'More Icons widget" but that only allows me to place 4 icons into the spot of 1, which makes them very tiny and arranges them in a square. Anything else out there?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a widget that is meant to change its icon every time it receives the Update broadcast. However, the widget never manages to display its icon properly, displaying the text "Problem loading widget". The Logcat message is: WARN/AppWidgetHostView(612): updateAppWidget couldn't find any view, using error view
WARN/ App Widget HostView(612) : android.widget.RemoteViews$ActionException: can't find view: 0x7f060003 The code for my onUpdate is: public class ImageWidgetProvider extends AppWidgetProvider{private static final String TAG = "Steve"; public static final int[] IMAGES = { R.drawable.ic_launcher_alarmclock,/*and many more*/}; @Override public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds){for (int appWidgetId : appWidgetIds) {Log.d(TAG, "onUpdate:"); int imageNum = (new java.util.Random().nextInt(IMAGES.length)); Log.d(TAG, Integer.toString (IMAGES[imageNum])); RemoteViews remoteView = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget); emoteView.setImageViewResource (R.id.image_in_widget, IMAGES[ imageNum]);Now when I hover the mouse over "R.id.image_in_widget" it brings up that its value is equal to 0x7f060003 - the view that it can't find according to Logcat. Using the second Log statement, I verified that IMAGES[imageNum] does indeed refer to a random image from the IMAGES array. (In case it matters, it comes out as a decimal value rather than a hexadecimal one.) Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Edit: Here is the layout file for the widget, where the image_in_widget ImageView is declared.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"

<ImageView android:name="@+id/image_in_widget"

I want to take my activity the entire screen of the device and I could do that by making appropriate changes in the android manifest file (Theme. NoTitleBar .Fullscreen). But, now I just want battery status icon on my screen alongwith other components of my activity. Is that possible?if yes, then how? I tried to use battery manager but, it does not expose such interfaces. I guess its mainly useful for checking and using battery life status and firing intents appropriately.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to change an application's icon without upgrading it? The idea is that there are two icons in the drawable folder, both with different names. At some point during the applications runtime, the icon will switch to a different one to alert the user that something occurred. I have looked into doing a widget, but that isn't exactly what I want, since I don't want to send a push notification.

I prefer cartoony icons as you might say however find it very hard too find examples of these icons on the net. Because of this its more trial and error when I download a pack. Can you guys show me what your using so I can get a few different ideas? Also guys I'm thinking of changing my web browser from the stock one? Is there any big benefits of doing this? And which browser in your eyes is the best?

Someone recommended "BetterCut" which I downloaded...it lets me change the icons for other shortcuts (which is great) but not for folders. I don't even mind navigating to this on the actual android device and replacing the original files with new ones - just someone please tell me how?

Is there something that replicates this feature?: changing a notifications priority/or hiding the notification icon from the status bar.
I know that you can permanently hide all notifications of an app via app info, but what I am looking for is something that will allow me to only hide any icon from the status bar, but the notification will still be there when I pull down the notification shade.
I currently use a ROM that has this feature, and I have yet to find it implemented in any other way or through any other ROM. I would love to go back to stock or an AOSP rom and use only Xposed modules, but this is the only thing that is stopping me. This feature is absolutely vital in my opinion in my everyday use.
You can see this feature in the screenshot below. When I long press any notification when I select the Hide status bar apps notification icon, the icon will not show up. As if it either replaces it (which I believe it does with a transparent dot) or just as useful would be to change the priority of the notification to low.
This just amazes me that I can't find anything else that does this. I'm hoping there is some type of xposed module that can replicate this feature, or anything really. If only i could find the code in the source of the rom myself to compile it into stock or something... Nexus 5

View 4 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if anyone who has tried Crazy Home knows of any application that allows you to switch icons from theme to theme like the Crazy Home launcher. I know of and have Bettercut, but that only allows you to create your own, or replace using a downloaded icon pack. But the crazy home app allows you to choose a theme, then use icons from another theme which bettercut does not allow. It also lets u change and icon to the theme icon. For example the gmail icon is default, but the email icon is themed, it offers the ability to change the gmail to themed.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a little app that draws moving animations in a surface view. Cute, useless time waster. I think it could be cuter if it were possible to get a surface view that mapped to the home screen icon for the app and animate that when the app is running and the icon is visible. Is that possible? I remember way back in the days of Windows 3.1, that when your app was minimized, it was possible to draw to the minimized icon as though that were the app window (actually, I guess it may just have been the app window). Anyway if such a thing is possible in Android, I'd like to try it. Anybody know?
View 16 Replies View RelatedI am wanting to change the icons for a lot of my apps on my home screens. I have been looking at BetterCut, Apps Organizer, and Folder Organizer. Now Apps Organizer is free and Folder Organizer has a free trial version, but Better cut is not free not does BetterCut have a free trial version.
Please tell me what you like/dislike about the apps, primarily BetterCut and Folder Organizer (paid).
*How do they run?
*Are there any major bugs?
Is it easy to change the icons for apps on my home screens?
*Is BetterCut really worth $2?
*Is Folder Organizer really worth $1.35?
Are any of these going to meet my needs of wanting to change the icons on my home screens?
*Are the icons dependant on the app that changed them (in other words, if I uninstall BetterCut after changing an icon, will the icon still be what I changed it to, or will it go back to the default icon)?
*If you had $2 and could only choose one of these apps to change the icons on your home screen, which would you choose?
I am going to play around with the two free versions of these apps and see if I like them, but unfortunately, BetterCut is an all or nothing app. I just don't want to feel like I wasted any money because the app ended up not doing what I wanted it to do.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a widget that acts as a launcher on the home screen. How can I make it behave like a launcher icon?
I use this layout for portrait:

This way if I use the DPAD the widget is focusable but the click doesn't work. The touch still works but the widget is not displayed as focused.
I've noticed some strange behaviour with resuming a task from a Home icon.Very easy to replicate, just create a new bare bones android project using eclipse, don't need to add anything. Then follow these steps:
1. In eclipse, Run the project on a emulator or device.
2. Once the app installs and launches the first activity, press Home key.
3. Launch the app again by pressing its icon.
4. Press Back key. Now this part seems wrong, you'll go back to the original activity in the stack, instead of the Home screen, even though its been previously launched and what you expect is it to bring back the stack as it was left, with one activity. If you repeat steps 2-3, it will just keep adding the same activity to the stack.
That is until you press Back all the way through the stack to the Home screen.Now this behaviour will never again replicate. It will be the correct (?) behaviour of bringing back the stack history at the state it was when Home was pressed. Note there are no behavioural modifications, this is just a default application. However, I tried many combinations of launchModes and stack clearing, they had no effect on the first run. Unless I'm interpreting the documentation wrong, when the user presses the Home key, the task is moved in to the background and simply brought back the next time they press the app icon? Why is the app icon altering the task it creates, if it already exists (with no flag modifications)?
I want my application to resume what it is doing regardless of where I press the icon (Home screen, app picker, or running apps). Right now if my app is in the background and I press the icon on the home screen, the app restarts with my Main Activity. Once here, if I press the back button the app resumes from the activity it left off before it was put in the background. If it's running in the background and I hold the home button and select my app from the current running apps, it resumes correctly. How do I avoid my app from going to my Main activity when it is selected from the Home screen or app picker? I have tried adding the following in my Manifest XML file, but it doesn't help: <activity android:name=".Main" android:launchMode="singleTask" android:alwaysRetainTaskState="true" android: label= "@ string /app_name">
