Clock Packs
make your own Crazy Clock Packs
Start by downloading the Crazy Clock Pack Template
This theme template will be compatible with Crazy Home Pro and Crazy Home Lite.
Once the template is downloaded, following the first half of the instructions for creating your own theme, up until Customizing Your Theme, but use the clock pack template instead.
Customizing Your Clock Pack
Here's a breakdown of the clock pack structure. If you look at your project in the Package Explorer in eclipse, you'll see a list of folders, there are only a few that you need to be concerned with as a themer. Starting from the top, they are:
1. res/drawable-hdpi
This is where most of the images are located. Replace the images here with images of your own, but KEEP THE SAME FILE NAMES.
Files:
clock_dial.png - first clock dial
clock_dial_<1,2,3....x>.png - additional clock dials
clock_hour.png - first hour hand
clock_hour_<1,2,3....x>.png - additional hour hands
clock_minute.png - first minute hand
clock_minute_<1,2,3....x>.png - additional minute hands
clock_second.png - first second hand
clock_second_<1,2,3....x>.png - additional second hands
icon.png - icon for your theme
logo.png - your company icon, will be shown in the info screen
2. res/values
strings.xml - this file contains several bits of info about your theme that you will need to modify. Change the following:
app_name - this is the name of your theme
instructions - no need to touch this
email - this is your contact email, change this so users with issues can email you
welcome_message - this is the text that is shown at the top of the info screen - change this to your own message
And that's it! Connect your phone to your computer and right-click on your project -> Run As -> Android application to load it onto your phone and test it out!
If your phone isn't setup for development or you don't have the proper drivers installed, please look to the many tutorials and guides online to help you with that.
I won't go into those setup details here. Besides, those frustrations are a rite of passage for all Android developers :P
