[Home Replacement App] Sweeter Home public Beta is out!!

[KZIWarrior]

Not sure but I made a much simpler theme that lets you enjoy your wallpaper and stuff, it's very "light" and "airy". Just uploaded it onto the server it's Called "SimplyBlissfixed" lol. Tell me if you have problem with that one.

I didn't use any images so it should drastically improve performance. And the widgets on there ae standard ones that I always use.

I just noticed something though if you resize the powercontrol widget and the music widget I noticed that the graphic states don't change I'm going to see if that's the case.

Cool, I'll reinstall SweeterHome tonight and give it a try.... think I'm heading for a factory reset anyway (I took off all the programs I've recently installed and I swear my boot time(s) still suck). Just a quick question what is everyone look at for boot times (please no guesstimates though you don't need a stopwatch either, lol just get me close).

Tried this out for a little bit last night, gonna dig in a little further tonight. I'm loving the customization options.

One thing though.. if anyone is in contact with the dev... can you recommend an option to hide the notification bar? Love that about home++. I think I'd really be able to get into sweeter home if it had that option.

Thanks.

If you read back a few pages they said it's on the to do list.

I tried out the Pure Messenger, and it caused Sweeter Home to crash all the time, since removing this app, Sweeter Home has only crashed once in the last couple days. So, some of the Force Closes seem to be app. related, not Sweeter Home.

I just found this home app, OUTSTANDING!!!
Now just to try to figure out how to create sections and reorganize some of the themes offered.
I have been looking a this and was wondering if anyone can help me understand this.

I wanted to create the blocks that when you tap hide the info related to.

I cant for the life of me figure out how to do this.

I have looked at the existing themes (edit) and cant seem to get how to do this myself.

Is there any documentation that could offer a inexperienced person like myself assistance?


Thank you

Hope this helps, but what I did was to create a Springboard and then in this link it to the widgets/blocks that you want to control. This way you can toggle off the icons/widgets with single button press. It does take some time to get used to how this works, but is very powerful. I used some of the themes that are already out there, and then edited them, to figure out allot of the features and how they work. :icon_ banana:

i've figured out how to completely stop any force closes. after EVERY edittheme i clear my cache with cachemate. my droid is blazing fast! it's almost like it knows what i'm gonna click on before i even click. amazing! i'm rooted tho so for all of you that aren't i'm not sure what cache you need to clear

Ok how does one link the springboard to blocks?
It may take some instruction but I will get this.

Wish there was a YouTube to teach but this is in beta so I guess its to early.

Thanks

There isn't much in the way of documentation. I've been learning through pure experimentation.

Sounds like you are trying to create a springboard. Step 1 is create the block that you want to hide/unhide. In edit mode create a new custom tray and make it the size and location you want. Then create a springboard (toward the bottom of the "Create New Block" menu. Again, make the springboard the size and location you want.

Long press on the springboard and select edit. Tap on "Controlled Blocks). You will see all of the trays and blocks that are on the screen. They will all have "no" next to them. Scroll to the tray you created in step 1 and change "no" to "yes".

Good luck!

When I first got my replacement mine clocked in at 48 seconds lol

If you go to the site there are actually videos posted by punyweakling/Lemon your should really try looking at the site's how-to's and tutorials. Their actually really helpful!! It's different form the sweeterhom.com website

How-to's and tips are located at sweeterskins.net – themes and news about Sweeter Home

hey all, i don't know WHAT just happened. But I have been messing with sweeterhome a lot these past 2 days and overnight while i was sleeping, my whole gmail account and my facebook account got hacked and my passwords have been changed. I am freaking out right now trying to figure out this happened and my brother told me the person that took over my account is spamming mail to send money to the UK. I very much think it is possible that it is from one of the skins that I downloaded so be careful!!!!

You can download the apk for preview 2 from the Sweeter Home website link in the OP.

It's probably still very early in development, but doesn't look to great yet. Force closed on me in the first few minutes

I'll hold out hope though.

I have had it for a few days with a couple of FCs but nothing major. It has allowed me to do everything with my homescreen that I want. I have tried all the other home replacements but this is the first that is truly customizable. Download a theme and use is as is, use it as a template to build your own, or build your own theme from scratch. It is awesome for those of us who want to customize but don't write programs. Worth an infrequent FC IMO.

ill second this!! the option to hide the nitification bar would be a HUGE plus!!

but i gave this a second chance and im glad i did! i accidently downloaded preview one the first time i tried it... 2 is so much better!! im loving this thing!! i dont get many FC... about the same that i get with Home++ and GDE... but the customization is endless!! i love that you can pic screesavers for every screen... you can hide application/shortcuts behind pictures... you can can show and hide widgets... awesome stuff here!! cant wait to see what the future holds for this as it gets more amd more option and more stable...

 

[yamaha83]

i cant seem to get my texts from last night widget to work with sweeter home... it just says "loading data"... anyone else having this issue?
