Kadavara v3.3.0 Update: Improved Komponents!

So, what do we have this time? A simple update, but includes a lot of internal changes. What's New? Improved Android O Music komponent. It should be faster now, thanks to Tored . Android O Music komponent is no longer dependent on Kolorette. You can easily use it in your own presets and share them. Added option to choose between Google Now and Google News weather icons in 'At A Glance' widget. Check the WthrIcon global.

Kadavara v3.2.0 Update with a New Komponent!

Image
Here's an update after a really long time! What's New? Updated dashboard.   Added Android Oreo Music Notification komponent and widget.   Minor fixes and improvements.  Additional Requirement: Kolorette - Download Kolorette NOTE: The komponent needs Kolorette  to work properly and needs Kolorette to be granted notification access. You can ensure this by opening the Kolorette app, tapping on the overflow menu icon (3 parallel lines on the top left corner) and tapping on the "Album Artwork" option. Features Changes colours based on album art.  Dark or light theme option in case song has no album art.  For some songs, same colours are returned by Kolorette. This is overcome. See screenshots 2 and 3.   A whole lot more extra settings to set almost every aspect of the widget. Screenshots Music widget under normal circumstances Music widget with a light background Music widget with a dark background Music widge...

Kadavara v3.1.0 Update with Updated Dashboard and Bug Fixes!

After a pretty long time, here's the v3.1.0 update! What's New? Updated dashboard.  Changed app font.  Improved notifications.  Added changelogs.  Fix: Entered PIN not being cleared when using Auto Unlock in PIN Unlock Komponent.  Allow user to choose keypad width and height in PIN Unlock Komponent.  Minor fixes and improvements. Note: There will not be any updates for a while as I will be busy with my exams. Thank you for your cooperation.

Kadavara v3.0.9 Update with New Dashboard and more cool features!

So here's the v3.0.9 update with a lot of changes. What's New? New dashboard.   Completely new UI.  New wallpaper picker UI with in-built crop.  New wallpaper and update notifications.  Screenshots: Visit the Screenshots page. NOTE: YOU WILL HAVE TO UNINSTALL THE PREVIOUS VERSION OF KADAVARA FOR THIS VERSION TO BE INSTALLED PROPERLY. If you are on Android Oreo, if you get a dialog asking storage permission for saving and applying wallpapers, DO NOT tap on it. Manually grant the storage permission from Settings>Apps>Kadavara Kustom Pack>Permissions>Storage. Even though the first tab in the app says you need KWGT and KLCK, note that you need KWGT Pro and KLCK Pro to load these presets. What Else Has Changed? HockeyApp will be the default site for app distribution and XDA Labs will be deprecated due to the following reasons: HockeyApp has a clean, straightforward, simple and easy to use interface. You won't need an accoun...

Kadavara v2.1.5 out with a lot of updates!

Image
So here we are with an update after a pretty long time and with many new features.  Recently, an update was pushed to Kustom APK Maker which allows the developers to include wallpapers in their applications. If you are a fellow kustomiser out there and want to include wallpapers in your application too, make sure you go through our tutorial for including wallpapers in your app made with Kustom APK Maker . So, what's new? Updated app icon. Updated dashboard which supports including wallpapers in the app. Added wallpapers. Tapping on weather in 'At A Glance' now takes you to the Google weather page. Check the Downloads page for download links. Wait, there's more... I'd like to leave this here... #NotATeaser

Including Wallpapers in your App made with Kustom APK Maker

This is just a tutorial for fellow kustomisers out there. I have used GitLab. I will also specify steps for GitHub anyway. Create a new project (if you are using GitLab) or a new repository (if you are using GitHub). Make sure it is set to Public .  Create a new directory, say you want it to be called wallpapers. If you don't know how to do so, just create a new file like this: project_name/wallpapers/new No extension is required for file named new.  Create a new JSON file in whichever directory you like. Copy and paste the code below in your JSON file you created. {   "wallpapers": [     {       "author": "Kaique Rocha",       "url": "https://static.pexels.com/photos/53756/pexels-photo-53756.jpeg",       "name": "Night City Street",       "thumbnail": "https://images.pexels.com/photos/53756/pexels-photo-53756.jpeg?h=350&auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb"     },   ...

Kustom Lockscreen released and here's a Lockscreen komponent!

UPDATE: v2.1.2 released with lockscreen preset and small changes to the lockscreen komponent. For more information, visit the Change Log page. If you didn't know yet, Kustom Lockscreen was released and it is a wonderful app! Download Kustom Lockscreen  if you haven't yet. Since it doesn't have any built-in security features as of now, I have made a simple PIN unlock komponent and it is included in v2.0.3 and newer versions. Go to the Download page to download the app. Preview: Check out my Google+ post here. Video:

Music 1 Komponent Released!

Image
With the release of v2.0.2 of the app, there's a new music player komponent and widget called Music 1 is available. C'mon let's check it out now! How to add the widget to your homescreen? Add a KWGT 4x4 blank widget on your homescreen. Tap on it and go to Installed section, tap on  Kadavara Kustom Pack and select Music 1 . Tap on the Save button and you're done! NOTE:  In case, you want to use this in your Kustom wallpapers, you can easily do so. Just add a new komponent and select  Music 1  from the Installed section.  Since the v2.0.2 update, the globals of all widgets and components come with descriptions. Hence, I will not provide descriptions of the globals here once again. To be able to view the global descriptions, please update the Kustom apps to v3.29 or newer versions.
