CocoPPa instructions


The COOLEST Free APP Ever...  CocoPPa

I recently had a really cool tutorial up that was written by another blogger
 (That I gave credit to numerous times.. )
and she unfortunately threw a tantrum about me posting her stuff
(Despite being given ALL the credit).  Very icky.

Sorry guys.. tutorial is now down.

    I found a link to your blog on pinterest. I must say, I spent all of yesterday customizing my phone! Thank you so much for the post. I love the way my phone looks.

    LOVE THIS! Some of them don't work well. Did anyone have success with the camera, calendar, and other already installed iphone apps? I also couldn't get safari to work. I entered "www.google.com" but it came up blank when opened. I'm so excited

      You have to add http:// for all the links to Safari for it to work, I did the same thing

      You really should make this site more mobile friendly. I saw this pinned and found it impossible to view, plus it kept going back and forth pages.

      Just a suggestion,

      I have a similar background on my phone.

      They also have a quarterfoil with monogram background tutorial.

      The background is on the 'wallpaper' section of the app

      The girl that originally made this tutorial used the app "WallAboutYou" to create her monogram background. It costs $1.99 but has some super cute backgrounds. Hope this helps :)

      When you double click the Home button it shows that using all these shortcuts will open the shortcut as well as the actual app. It will save your battery a lot more if you go through this often and close them done when you're done using the app. That may help!

    These URLs worked for me:

    Safari♥ http:// (since I already have the google search app, I used this instead of using google.com to open up Safari, and it will open up a "blank page"... it will say something like the webpage could not be opened, but the search bar and such is still functional. I'd rather have that than have 2 apps that open up to google, know what I mean? I'm a little OCD. lol)
    Calendar♥ calshow://
    Videos♥ videos://
    Photos♥ photos-redirect://
    Maps♥ maps://
    SMS♥ sms://
    Mail♥ mailto://
    Music♥ music://
    Reminders♥ x-apple-reminder://
    iTunes♥ http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?i=156093464&id=156093462&s=143441

      Unfortunately, I'm still trying to find a url scheme for the ones such as phone, camera, settings, clock, etc. I've been researching and looking around, but from what I've been reading, those certain apps just do not have a url... ;(
      So for some of them, what I did was just installed new apps, such as calculator, weather, and notes.. Because usually you can find some apps in the appstore that are better than the ones on your phone lol

      some i found online, some i found in the comments of certain icons in Cocoppa and just did trial and error until i found some that worked for me. Maybe I just got lucky with some of them.
      Now, I have an iphone; im not sure how these urls work for android phones, or if they even work for android phones at all..
      Make sure you are entering them correctly:

      the new icon is just a link to the app, not the actual app.

    2. UnknownApril 3, 2013 at 1:53 PM

      So where would one go to find their texts and emails if it doesn't show up in the new icon? I was all excited to do this, I even "liked" all my icons already, but if the texts don't show up on the first screen, where would you go to get them?

      Delete
    3. Karah CApril 4, 2013 at 11:51 AM

      The little red circle notifications you would get when you have a new email, text, etc, will only show up on the original app.. This does not mean that if you use the new cute icons, that you will not receive any new texts or emails, etc. The new icons are just merely "bookmarks" for the original apps; they are still fully functional. And if you'd click on the new icons, it will open up the original app. Since the new icons, like email and messages, do not open directly to your inboxes like the original apps, it will instead open up a new blank message or email; all you have to do is click "cancel" and it will then go to your inbox.
      So to sum it all up: the new icons will not show the little red circle notifications, but the original app will still have them.

    So this makes your phone look cute, but your phone is completely non-functional! All of my message/email/facebook notification icons (the red dot with the number) don't show up on the new, cute icons. So I spent all that time making my phone look adorable....only to go and delete them all so that I could actually use my phone to communicate. If they find a way to make it so they actually work, I'll put them all back on.

    It's sad when people act that way! You should be able to post your own version of a tutorial. That blogger doesn't own CocoPPa or Apple, so it's like posting a chocolate chip cookie recipe, as long as you make it your own, no one should be able to make a stink about it! I don't have to credit my mom or anyone just because she taught me how to bake (although I probably would!!) Bummer!
