Themer, the Android customization app from MyColorScreen which last fall raised a half a million in seed funding, has been pulled from the Google Play marketplace following a copyright complaint from Apple in reference to one of the app’s 200-plus available themes. Themer was pulled down on February 2nd, and the app has been in limbo ever since, they now say, despite having resolved the issue with regard to the errant theme. The theme in question is the “Seven” theme, which Apple says uses several icons that infringed on its own patents, explains*Ashvin Dhingra, co-founder and CEO at Themer. For background, Themer’s app allows users to browse a selection of custom-designed Android homescreen themes which can be installed with a push of a button. The high-quality themes are generally purchased from designers who, before Themer, were simply releasing their creations on the*MyColorScreen website, a social service where users can share and comment on photos of Android customizations. It’s something like a Dribbble.com for Android designers, in fact. “We immediately removed [the Seven] theme and thought that, at worst, Themer would be back on Play in a few days. But now a week later, we’re facing the possibility that a few days might turn into a few weeks,” Dhingra*explains in an email to TechCrunch (and soon to be blog post on the company’s website.) “We’ve spoken to legal representatives from Apple (who have been very nice, reasonable, and helpful), and they have no remaining concerns. But apparently, Google has a process for these things, and there’s nothing we can do to accelerate that process. Unfortunately, we still have not heard from anyone at Google.” His missive aims to address the concerns of the community, who have been distraught over the app’s disappearance, and asking about its return. Themer, notes Dhingra, has been downloaded a million times in less than four months after its public beta debut this fall. The company seems to be confused about what to do in this kind of situation, saying that Google lacks a developer advocate or single point of contact, which has had the team at Themer attempting to reach out to “random people, who may or may not be able to assist,”*Dhingra laments. Google actually lists a variety of resources on its Android developers site, but apparently isn’t proactive about outreach in situations like this.
