Jolla launcher making it work - Sailfish General

Just got the Jolla launcher ALPHA, I'm using it on my HTC one. I have issues with it right away. Most off the issues I have are that it is removing some of the functionality of Android while not letting us have the parts of Sailfish that would fill in those gaps. This thread is for those issues that can be fixed by installing an app or by some other simple method in Android, this way we cut down the amount of noise ending up in the devs baskets.
Here are my issues with the launcher:
How do I quickly turn on and off the Wi-Fi without widgets? Is there an app that will stick the WiFi in my status bar pull down?
Without my Soundabout widget that toggles my headphone jack on/off (because my jack is not recognizing input, it is a common issue for this phone) how can I turn on my jack?
I can't resize the app icons to fit more on each page. Is there an app that will do this or is this something that Jolla will have to allow for example in the pull down menu there could be a launcher settings.

You could try fiddling with the dpi value in the build.prop file, I believe there are a number of apps which can do this *more or less* safely. If you search through the XDA portal, they've had a post about it some time ago.
Btw I've tried to disable the nav bar by editting the build.prop file but that didn't work for me (using nexus 5), the way I did it was to use "Ultimate Dynamic Nav Bar lite", just to switch the nav bar off, then I uninstalled it, and it stuck. I use "Pie Control", as a go-between android app management, and the launcher.

I also disabled nav bar on my Huawei Ascend P6-U06 running AOSPA 4.4.4 by adding qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to build.prop and reboot for going to the launcher I just use the swipe gesture that comes with the launcher. It's an ALPHA but very stable I think.

I also noticed the occasional crash and this and that, but after all it runs okay on my Xperia Z1.

Have you guys found a way to change wallpapers?
I know there are 2 themes in the favorites by default, but I haven't found a way to change wallpapers the launcher itself. For now I have just decompiled the APK file and modified the included themes to have wallpapers I want to use.
By the way, the resolution in those default pictures are 1080x3200. No the easiest one to look pictures for

To replace my WiFi, BT and other toggles that are no longer there because of this launcher not having widgets. I installed the app "notification toggle" which lets you put toggles and apps in the Android status bar.

How to see notification? I have tried with swipe up,but Google search open . At that time I can see the notification bar, from there I can view my notification . And also what about the lock screen ?

@Dhiraj I don't understand.
This launcher has removed the contacts app icon from my apps screen. To get to contacts I have to go to phone and then contacts within that and using the back button that normally acts as a close app command in this launcher does not close it but minimizes it to the homescreen.

It works. The application has 2 wallpapers by default, so i can replace them for you if you want. Just reply me with the links/pictures attached and I can modify the APK for you ^^
You can also decompile it yourself.
You have to have 2 version of the picture you want. 1080x3200 and 270x800.
Go to assets/ambience and replace 92a267c5hp.jpg & fa9bfbdbhp.jpg with the 1080x3200 pictures and 92a267c5ap.jpg & fa9bfbdbap.jpg with 270x800 pictures. After that just recompile the apk, zipalign the apk and sign the apk. Then you can install the apk and have your own 2 pictures.
EDIt: I just took a look at one of the database files. I might be able to add themes and modify the names and highlight colors
If someone wants to try a "custom" theme: http://d-h.st/NmM
Differences:
-Has only one background image for now
-Custom colors and wallpaper
-Signed with my keys (You must remove the official before installing this one)
If anyone has 1080x3200 pictures, you can send them here and I can try to make custom APKs with matching ambiences ^^

Thanks for that link . Since default APP had two Wallpapers ,Namely 92a267c5hp.jpg & fa9bfbdbhp.jpg ,...so if u add three More wallpapers in it , Do we need to modify any other files or names . And also How do you name that Additional Three wallpapers.
Also have you tried Editing APK with WinZip, read somewhere on xda ..........i have problem Signing it, so unable to install it

There is also a file called ambience.sqlite in assets/ambience. I have modified it to load more images and to change ambience colors. I used firefox addon SQlite manager to modify it. I have not tried winzip for editing. I know that the signing can be pretty frustrating...

It is possible as far as I know, but I do not have enough knowledge to do that. It is also very probable that Jolla will add support for changeable wallpapers in the next alpha release.
At the moment they have partially implemented the code the get ambience colors from images, but they are using a database to store wallpaper information & ambience colors for now.

The launcher has folders in the app grid! Long press an app icon to go into edit mode then let go then grab it again and drop it on to another icon. Haven't had time to explore it further, break time is over for me.

New Wallpapers on Your Latest APK are Awesome .Also Unlike Default launcher , Color of Font changes with Wallpaper , esp for fonts in Notification Pulley . Overall it is Best version created so far by You . Thank for That

[APPMOD REQ] Twitter Client fully transparent back

hi..
does anybody have the twitter client with full transparent backgrund, not the one with transparent black?
thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!
Iam search too, facebook and twiter widget with trasparent...
You guys ought to check this out.
Hope it helps
If flashing the .zip doesn't work for you, I recommend reading up a little bit on ADB.
That way you can pull the desired applications from the phone and push the new ones.
If you have got launcher pro plus, there is an complete mod of lpp where you can install a modded version which has all widgets transparent with white or black text.
I will grab the link when i am home.
Otherwise search the htc hero section in themes and apps....

ahhh go home, u don't understand me....thread can be closed in my opinion.
i understand you
you want an complete transparent twitter widget
there is no such right now
why dont use try the moddet launcher pro?
every lpp widget is transparent
bookmarks,people, twitter, facebook etc.
just have a look
You CAN do it yourself
All it takes is a little push.
The only thing stopping you is your own lazyness. I've made a transparent Facebook widget,
Twitter can't be much harder.
[ USE ADB ]
- Pull the Twitter application from your phone
- Copy the .apk to a new folder and rename it to .zip
- Open the .zip and drag the folder named RES to your new folder
Now you can see all the images that make up the widget
- Edit the images you want to edit
- Save the res folder, overwrite the old one.
- Rename the .zip to .apk
- Push back to your phone
TIP: When editing images, create a new folder and name it whatever.
Save all your images there with the names you want to replace.
Voila, there you've done it.
That wasn't to hard!
If you need help concerning ADB you should check out the ADB guides.
Best of luck and remember, people won't always create what you want.
So it's better to just do it yourself!
do you edit with photoshop?
or is there something easier?hehe..

I edit with Photoshop.
I'm sure you can use Paint or whatever, but Photoshop is a great tool.
It doesn't have to be as complicated as you'd think.
Lets say I want to edit the black-apps transparent:
- Check the size of the black background, EXAMPLE: 480x50
- Create a new document in Photoshop with TRANSPARENT LAYER
And since I want it transparent, the work is already done! So all I need to do
is save the file. I failed about 30 times when creating my first widget -
but it gets really fun to edit them, then seeing what they look like on the phone.
i tried it myself

Just a thought here....I've spent a bunch of time on this theme, between searching the vast interwebs for applications that work, to editing files, to theming apps and testing them, at least 60 hours of my life have been put into this project. I don't take donations or anything, so could you guys help spread the word to all of your friends so i don't feel like I did all of this for just a few people? Or at least hit the thank you button every now and then. I would appreciate that.
Alrighty fellas, I've compiled a theme together for pretty much any android device capable of running CM7, but since I created it on my Optimus V, I'll post it here.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR ANY OF THE FILES USED IN THIS THEME, I SIMPLY COMBINED WHAT WAS AVAILABLE TO ME. Furthermore, a few of these apps are paid apps, and I cannot suppply those to you.
I'd like to give a big ol' thank you to AOSP for creating such a great base ROM to work with, nhnt11 for creating the themed menus and status bar, and the devs of all of the apps used in this project.
What is themed:
-Status Bar
-Notification Drawer
-The entire Launcher
-App Drawer
-Menus (including highlighted text)
-Widgets (Only "LP Sense UI widgets" "Toggles" and "Search" are themed)
-Keyboard
-Lockscreen
-Clock
-In-App Titles
-Boot Animation
-HTC app: Claculator
-HTC app: Music
-HTC app: Teeter
-Wallpapers / backgrounds
-Alarms
-Ringtones
-Icons
-Fonts
HOW TO FIX "ERROR INVALID_KEY" WITH FACEBOOK WIDGET
In order to get functionality from the Facebook widget back, as per THIS, you will need to uninstall the facebook app from your phone, then uninstall and reinstall LP sense ui app. From there, when you enter your credentials in the widget settings, it should work. After it is done synching and whatnot, you may reinstall Facebook app. It *should* work.
Step One
You are going to need to install a CM7 ROM with the Theme Chooser application if you want the status bar / menu themes to work. At this point, I'd like to give you this warning:
IT'S NOT MY FAULT IF YOU EFF UP YOUR PHONE, YOU ARE DOING THIS OF YOUR OWN ACCORD
#Step 1a (Skip if not rooted)
In order to install the fonts that I've included, you will need root access. There are two ways to install them: one through ADB, the other through a
market app, Type Fresh (included in the "app" folder) I feel it necessary to link to the original page for instructions. Here is the URL:
http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2009/04/25/how-to-change-fonts-in-android/
Step Two
After installing the ROM, you will need to download NTSense, provided by nhnt11 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970459
Just follow the instructions on the link provided.
Step Three
Now you will need to install LP Sense UI, provided at the bottom of this thread. THIS IS NOT THE PAID VERSION, IT IS THE REGULAR FREE VERSION, HOWEVER WIDGETS DO WORK.
You will need to set it up properly for it to work. Do the following:
From Homescreen:
Menu>Preferences>Sense Mod Configuration
Set Number of docks to "1"
Dock Background>Standard (be sure to press it, even though it is selected, or else it wont work properly)
Home button on app drawer "on"
Enable auto Rotation "off"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That should be it for the launcher. You can set other things how you like, I usually use "Rotate 2" as my transition, it looks great with the theme
Menu>Preferences>Homescreen Settings>Transition Effect> "Rotate 2"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step Four
You will need to purchase "WidgetLocker" from the market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker
It is $1.99 USD, but it is worth it, it is helpful for many other themes and is great as a lockscreen in general.
be sure to open WidgetLocker from the app drawer to open it in edit or "Tool" mode.
FROM "TOOL MODE:"
Menu>Settings>Enable WidgetLocker
(Skip this if you don't have root) Menu>Settings>Advanced>Root Helper>Check All Boxes, set Autoswipe Pin/Password to "Auto"
Menu>Settings>Advanced>Check "Hide Notification Icon" and "Hide Interaction Warning"
Configure the rest how you prefer.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
While you are in tool mode, long press every app, slider and widget and drag it to the trash bin at the bottom of the screen. Then do this:
Menu>Add>Custom Slider
Select "Sense" from the box directly underneath the picture of the slider.
Save.
You will need to long press the slider and drag it all the way to the bottom of the screen, being careful not to put it in the trash bin (or else you'd have to make a new slider )
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step Five
Install any of the clocks in from the included "clocks" folder found under "apps"
Should you install the flipclock app, be warned:
NOTE: THIS CLOCK HAS NO FLIPPING ANIMATION. HOPEFULLY, I WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE ONE THAT DOES FLIP IN THE FUTURE, BUT NO GUARANTEES. I WOULD NEED A LOT OF HELP.
Step Six
In order to get the toggle widgets, such as wifi, bluetooth, gps, vibrate, silence, etc. you need to Purchase Beautiful Widgets from the Market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.levelup.beautifulwidgets&feature=search_result
I have included a brightness control and battery indicator themed to look Sense-esque. They are at the bottom of the Post.
FOR THE BATTERY INDICATOR:
1. Apply Widget to Homescreen
2. Tap on it
3. Select the "Preferences" tab in the top right corner.
4. Check every single box, especially Swap Low/High res. You can select the temperature unit of your choice.

Oh, and if you're so great, why don't you make a cm7 sense theme that looks an acts identical to the real thing, including all the icons, app drawer, and Widgets. You should be able to get that done in a couple hours right?

One option would be to remove everything from the home screen and take a screenshot.
If it's across multiple home screens, do the same for each and then stick the images together with some photo editing software.
Maybe you could also do a Google image search using the screenshot.
The other options require you to be rooted. But I don't know where Samsung stores the theme files.

Change app icons not changed by samsung (icon) themes

Hello,
I wanted to ask how to change icons on home screen of apps that dont get changed by official samsung store themes without using another launcher. Id need to save the icons first, and then replace them by edited versions. Kind of creating my own icon set. Is this even possible? Do I have to root my device this for?
Thanks in advance for every help.

If you want to replace the default icons for each individual app you can't as the icons image file is stored in the .apk file and replacing them is not worth it......if you want to create an icon pack you will need a 3rd party launcher for using it or you can create a theme that works on Samsung store.....at least that's my understanding.....
