Fluxed Gallery and Broken Icon Form

Hey Fluxed fans:

I’ve noticed some people have requested a way to view the icons online without having to download the set. That way they can get a look at all the different supports apps. Until I have something embeddable worked out, I have created a Dropbox Gallery of the current set available for perusing. The gallery link is on the Fluxed page - here is a direct link.

This also gave me a great idea – Fluxed has amassed a ton of supported apps, but sometimes the developers change things and suddenly the icons can’t connect to the apps. There is no way for me to go through hundreds of apps to check for broken icons (I’m only one guy!), so I’ve set up a simple form you can use to let me know what app icons are broken. If you browse the gallery, see an app you have that has an icon but is not themed on your ADW installation, open the form and enter the name(s). Hit the “Fix It Up!” button and it will let me know what apps to check out! This makes the process quicker for me (no sifting through apps) and you (quicker maintenance updates). The form link is right next to the gallery link on the Fluxed page.

Hopefully this will benefit everyone!

Videos to Help You Along…

Hey guys. While you are patiently staring at your screen, repeatedly tapping your market icon to refresh and check for the next Fluxed update (I know you are :P ), you might want to check out the two videos I’ve created for the ADW.Launcher Wiki. The first details how to assign your own custom icons while creating an ADW theme, and the second shows some basic features of the ADW home screen. Enjoy!

PS: Fluxed update coming real soon :)

Overhaul-iday Update

Hey Fluxed Peeps:

Asher here! It’s been a long while, but the wait is over – the newest version of Fluxed is out!

*cue appluase*

Since it’s been a while, I figured it’d be a great idea to include a bunch of great new bits. 1.7.5 includes over 70 new icons, two sets of generic icons, a new folder design, code streamlining…phew! Hopefully you all enjoy it; consider this your holiday gift from me to you! I know it’s a little late for Hanukkah…

‘Tis the season to give, so why not give your loved one the theme you enjoy so much? Tell them about Fluxed! And if you’re feeling really giving, why not send me some gelt? Hit the donate button on the page to send me some latke money.

Happy holidays!

Fluxed Status Update

Hey all:

You may have been wondering about the update status of Fluxed. It has been a little out of the weekly loop I seem to have assigned myself.

Two weeks ago was my Thanksgiving break from college, so I wasn’t planning on working on any theme projects. But Ander and his awesome launcher ADW decided to update, so I scrambled to make sure Fluxed was still usable. I hope my speedy update isn’t the reason for the strange force closes a small percent of you have been having, but hopefully the next update will help alleviate this.

There wasn’t an update last week due to my laptop’s power cord dying, so all of last week I could not add anything to Fluxed since…I couldn’t access my files. Just as well, a new quarter has started for me here at college, so I am getting into the swing of things coming back to school from an internship.

Fear not – I have been working on a fairly large update that will streamline some of the code involved and add a large chunk of new icons. All I ask is a little more patience as I complete it and test it.

Thanks for all your great market comments and support! And a special shout out to Heather, who helped on the market with those who were getting force closes.

Don’t forget to tell your friends about Fluxed!

Fluxed 1.6

Thanks for everyone’s patience – with this being my college break and Thanksgiving, I wasn’t planning on doing a lot of theme work. But lo and behold, a new version of ADW.Launcher has appeared, so my theme gears had to be turned on.

Fluxed 1.6 is compatible with the new 1.3 version of ADW.Launcher. Make sure you update the launcher app first, or prepare for some wonky stuff to happen. I also threw in two new icons – a Springpad refresh (the icon broke with the update they did) and Wallpaper Set and Save.

Remember, if you want to use Fluxed as an icon set for your non-ADW launcher, head over to the Fluxed art page on my DeviantArt to download the ZIP.

Happy Holidays!

-Asher

PS: Due to how the new version of ADW.Launcher works, the center app drawer icon will not be present initially shown. To fix this, create a Custom Shortcut by pressing and holding on the home screen and picking it. From there choose Launcher Actions -> Open/Close App Drawer from the activities. Then change the icon by pressing the icon button and picking Iconpack -> Fluxed ADW Theme. The app drawer icon should be the first one listed.

Fluxed Thanksgiving Release!

Happy Turkey Day everyone!

As it is my week off from college, and with a family holiday this week, I’ve decided to not push out a Fluxed update. Now, before you get all in a fluster, I have done something small.

Starting now, the Fluxed icon set and basic launcher elements have been provided in a zip form for all of you out there that use other launchers! LauncherPro users rejoice! Now you can easily get your own homescreen Fluxed.

The link is available on the Fluxed ADW page of this site, which brings you to my DeviantArt page where the ZIP file can be downloaded. Don’t hesitate to leave me a comment here and there!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you Fluxed users! Don’t forget to have a slice of pumpkin pie for me.

Fluxed 1.4

Weekly update time!

Another set of more than 30 new app icons have been included. Notable apps include:

-Skype
-Doodle Jump
-Gowalla
-Aldiko

Next update will most likely not have any new app icons – I will be focusing on MDPI support! So for all you waiting to get your smaller screens Fluxed, your patience will pay off sooner than you think!

Let me know what you think here in the comments or in the market.

Until next time,

Fluxed Graduates Past 10,000 Downloads


Hey everyone!

Yesterday Fluxed ADW passed ten thousand downloads! This is an incredible feat considering this project being small on the radar and only being available in the Android market for three weeks. I’d like to thank you all for your gracious support in this endeavor. Your opinions and recommendations are always welcome – this theme is as much for you as it is for me, so why wouldn’t I consider your thoughts?

I have plans for including much more than icon updates soon, especially an MDPI-compatible version. The search widget is being worked on, along with some other bits and pieces that might show up in a premium version.

Thanks again for all your downloads and support! And don’t forget to tell your friends to get FLUXED!

Fluxed ADW Theme 1.3 Update Out

Weekly update peeps!

This week I added a 30 new icons to the mix, including individual icons for most major Twitter clients. One hiccup I have to fix is that Hootsuite doesn’t seem to want to cooperate, so the icon will be available in the iconpack, but unfortunately won’t work in the app drawer just yet.

Enjoy!
