Machi-chara?

**aw614** · 06-28-2012, 07:30 AM

oh yeah my sh-10c had the machi chara in the frog outfit, i was wondering what that was

i hate the frog outfit... it was gone for a week but it was back yesterday. the maid seems to be in the frog outfit fulltime these days though. it's funny how she's significantly more low-res than the butler.

The sheep bulter only appears on my screen in the locked state, when I have a missed call.

it works all the time for me, with any launcher.

You just have to add the machi chara widget to your homescreen. Thats how I have mine show up.

I noticed she's been wearing the frog suit for a while too. I believe the maid may be connected to Japan's weather somehow. I believe it's raining there, thats why shes wearing the frog suit.

Yeah, that's what I'd think. When I select Add Widget > Machi-mara, I get the "Widget already exists" message and that's it. If I have a missed call, it is there on the locked screen, a message baloon in Japanese, holding an open flip keitai... But when I unlock the screen, it's gone.

is it added to any other launchers? if it's added by default with palette ui, try removing it from there, then switching back to sharp home and adding it.

i thought about that, but the butler changes back and forth but the maid doesn't.

The frog suit is worn on wednesdays in the rainy season, which is water-day in Japanese.

The female maid wears it all throughout the rainy season.

The butler is a widget which can be added to any launcher's home screen.

I don't know if this lady sheep will always wear this outfit during this time of year or not... I have her on my Docomo but specifically wanted to know if she struts her stuff on Softbanks or other androids because my girlfriend won't switch carrier without the sheep

Sounds weird, because it works on my SH-01D!

okay, so someone else confirms it for me then because I thought she was low-res because my screen was too big... (using a Note)

It seems that my Machi-chara changed his costume into kimono. After I turned off the phone, too bad the sheep butler back into his normal clothing. Is there a special event why the sheep butler changing his clothes? Has anyone encountered this?

Few days before the sheep butler changed into frog outfit as I back read that it is rainy season in Japan.

I am just new to this.

**martindesu** · 06-30-2012, 11:32 PM

It's July 1st, so it's summer and time for wearing kimonos... and the sheep butler dresses accordingly!

**snob** · 07-01-2012, 06:32 PM

the weather here is ******, maybe that's why my butler hasn't changed ):

can anyone be so kind as to upload a copy of the palette ui apk for me? i'm using version 1.093 right now... i actually don't think it's that bad haha. it's a bit sluggish maybe (my phone is slow though)? but i don't have a lot of requirements for a launcher. i've recently switched back to cyanogen from miui and my icons felt naked without the frames so i tried it out and don't mind it. i almost feel like i'm using a keitai with a 丸ゴシック font, the machi chara and palette ui. not really.
