Android :: Skins / Themes In App Drawer
Jun 24, 2009
there's one app who is a big offender here I think anyone who uses it will know which one I mean its in the top paid apps - all the skins appear in the app drawer.And yet I can sort of understand why he's done it because you have a choice of either including these lines in AndroidManifest.xml or not.If you do, app can be launched and is in app drawer. If you don't, app can't be launched and is not in app drawer.What would be most useful is the inbetween, i.e. app can be launched and is not in app drawer. I've played around with all variations in xml file and nothing achieves this behavior.Publishers want skin packs to be launchable, so that when people download them wondering what they are, they can include some info directing you to a website or better still, straight to the main product in the market. But its inconsiderate to customers to fill up their app drawers with stuff that is just skin packs / themes. I don't think there is a solution to this, but I think its an issue that Android need to address.

how do I go about using all the icon packs for the phone or skins for widgets I'm finding?I installed LauncherPro today and am ready to customize but I'm unsure how.After searching I cant tell if i can just unzip the files on my computer and transfer them somewhere on the phone (not sure where) or if I need a third app like Folder Organizer?

I have searched for this but didn't really find a clear answer. I am running BB Froyo 0.4---can themes be installed over other themes? IE- can I install blue energy over Xtheme? Is there a way to revert back to the generic BB with no theme or do I need to restore a backup to accomplish this?

Can't they make skins that r clean. Ie just one letter per button, looks sloppy with micro icons above letters. Some of the xtreme themes overcome this by using black backgrounds, but the letter colors are red or pink.what skin u guys using?

I'm currently trying to create skins for my app, and the simplest way to do it, it seems is by creating Themes for each skin.I'm getting confused with how to use a specified item which points to a declared color from my Theme to a particular shape I create via xml.

The idea is to allow users to download a skin packet from the android market and be able to change the skin via the main application.I assume this skin pack would contain only the layouts and res names that I would want to overwrite from the main application. How could I approach such project?

How to make custom AVD skins by editing the layout file and associated .png files in the android-sdk-windowsplatformsandroid-nnnskins folders. The syntax of the layout file is simple and pretty self-explanatory but I'm curious about it ...
Is it meant to be hand-edited or is it generated from some tool or utility I should be using?
Any idea why they used this curly-brace syntax instead of something standard like XML?

I'm looking for a clock widget/skins pack. Something similar to Beautiful Widgets, without the weather integration, would be perfect.

I would like to use a custom skin for my Datepickers and Timepickers. Changing the background in XML doesn't do the trick (it changes the background to the set, not each of its buttons). The API is painfully short and has nothing about appearance ( http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/DatePicker.html ). Is it possible to use a custom skin for the buttons of Datepickers and Timepickers?

I love the Ultra keyboard, but there are so many ways to customize it (a pretty good problem to have!) and a variety of skins in the Market. how you use this, and what skins are your favorite. I also would love a way to type in Spanish occasion, so would love to know if there is an easy way to set up a button or something to switch to Spanish.

Does anyone know where we can buy Gel/rubber skins or some sort of cases that were actually made for the Droid?I've been looking everywhere. Usually Walmart (where i got my phone) sell the accessories for the phones they sell, but they dont for the droid.I really would like a working gel skin for it.but it says it wont ship til the 16th, and i'd rather get it much sooner.Im having such a hard time finding any accessories. AH! Nothing local has them.the official Motorola droid site seems broken. Shows gel's and stuff for the phone, but cant ever find them on the store page after you click the image.

I'm very annoyed cause TTPod has great skins, but they aren't customizable. I can't change 'wallpaper' of any skin. I tried to open .tsk files (to edit wallpaper) via WinRAR but it says that file is corrupted (but theme works on music player!). It is weird.

I just ordered two new Motorola Droid's on sunday, they're due to get here on wednesday so i've been killing time looking at accessories. Just had a couple of quick questions. Keep in mind we're looking for the *gel* cases for the droid.I know that OEM skins/cases will cost more than the bargain skins/cases on ebay I'm guessing that some of the gel cases that cost more have had some more thought put into them and are probably higher quality (get what you pay for maybe?). I'm basically looking for personal recommendations for a brand or a website that sells GOOD QUALITY gel cases.I'm trying to avoid having to return something because it turns out that the gel case covers up the flash, the keys on the slide out keyboard, or wont allow the phone to be used in the car dock.. That kind of thing. Anyone have any success stories they can share?

using Beautiful Widgets for the clock/weather widget. I am using one of the skins from the available to download section of the config. Airport One or something like that. When I turned on Home++ it took that skin off, and its not even showing in my downloaded skins. Nor is it available to re-download. This is the case with a few others I downloaded as well. When I uninstalled Home++ they all magically appeared.

Why would my skins (clock and weather) not change after selecting and applying them? I grabbed beautiful widgit and found some I like...it will not change! It's making me crazy. Something SO simple.
