I use Nova launcher prime, because of the stock android look and feel, and also because it doesn't get bloated with every new update.

Funny you should ask this, I was just thinking about this in class the other day.

Ignore all these people saying you're screwed. You're part of the #androidmasterrace, this shit is trivial.

This is how I would do it:

1. Get Nova Launcher Prime. The free version will not suffice for this; you need Prime.

2. Download Kik, whatsapp, or some kind of messaging service for you and your girlfriend.

3. Get some kind of app that password protects apps.Perfect Applock looks good, but I only just tested it out quickly.

4. Password protect your chosen messaging app.

5. Assign that app to a swipe action to some random, innocent app like a calculator on your homescreen. To do this, long press on it, tap edit, and assign your messaging app to it. Now if you swipe up on the calc, it will open your messaging app instead. It will still open the calculator if you tap it.

6. Now go into Nova settings and hide the messaging app from appearing in your app drawer. Probably should hide Applock while you're at it. They will still appear if you go into settings and got into the apps section, but I bet you can hide them there too with root. Let me know if you want me to research that for ya.

Now when you swipe up on your calculator icon (or any app you choose), it will ask for a password, and then if correct it will open the messaging app where you can can message your girlfriend.

Best of luck, may DuARTe be with you. I can elaborate more if needed.

EDIT: You could also probably use Tasker to kill the app whenever you exit it so it won't show up in your recents

Congrats on the transition! My highest recommendation is to download Nova Launcher Prime. I don't buy a lot of apps but this one is the best $5 I've spent as an android user.

It allows you to customize so much of the experience. It has its own sub and here is a good example of the flexibility of it

An option is to download a launcher like Nova (you'll need the $5 premium version).

Nova will let you swipe down from anywhere to pull down the notification bar.

Combination of Nova Launcher Prime and Lines - Icon Pack Pro!

Nova Launcher

It's considered by some (most) to be the best home screen launcher for Android. It's very feature rich.

Technically, you'll need Nova Launcher Prime to get the gestures. But it's well worth it. I have this gesture (swipe down anywhere on homescreen to show notification).

You'd need to get another launcher, but technically you can.

You'd want to go download nova launcher and download unread notification badge for nova launcher

Nova launcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher.prime

Unread notification badge: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.notifier

Be aware, you won't get Google now (farthest left panel that has that cool information) if you change the launcher.

I'll be honest though, the notification system in android is so much better than that of iOS that if you're anything like me, you'll get use to keeping notifications in the status bar until you're ready to deal with them, rather than hunt for icons looking to see if there is something waiting for you.

I use Nova Launcher Prime and an app icon theme pack called Lines.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher.prime

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.natewren.linesfree

That gray text is the new "At A Glance" widget in 8.1. I don't think you can change it however. If it really bothers you though, you can get Rootless Pixel Launcher, Lawnchair Launcher, or my personal favorite, Nova Launcher , which give you the ability to change it. (There's a free version of Nova) Good luck!

1. I use Nova Launcher Prime and the plug in TeslaUnread for that notification count icon. You have to pay for Nova Prime, but it is 100% worth it in mine (and many others') opinion. It is an excellent launcher replacement with so many different options and features such as...

2. ...want you wanted for 2! You can set different gestures for all sorts of things through Nova. I have a swipe down opens the notification shade, swipe up opens calendar, and a few others I think. I don't think these options are natively built into Android, but I'm not on stock so I could be wrong.

3. Again, I'm not on stock, so I may be wrong, but I don't believe you can. Its a feature coming in the next version of Android, though!

PSA: Nova Launcher Prime is currently on sale for Php15 on the Play Store. Your Android will never be the same again, for half the price of a sachet of EZ lube.

So the way I have the unread counts set up uses two different apps.

Your first step would be to get Nova Launcher prime

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher.prime

Next, download TeslaUnread for Nova Launcher

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.notifier

You should then have unread count badges with the Textra app (once you enable them in the settings).

If you need help with the process, message me and I'll help you out.

In general, Nova launcher Prime

But the widget I used was UCCW. Unfortunately I can't find the skin I used.

There is another app called grumpy weather, but it had updating issues if your still looking for a widget.

Btw, if you like reliable launchers, try nova prime. you can use 1000s of icon packs, and is the most customizable to your needs. it supports gestures too. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher.prime&hl=en_US

​The primary launcher is ok in stock note 9, meh, but icons stay small.

My preferred method is using the Nova Launcher Prime and whatever icon pack you like.

Ah. If you don't mind spending a few dollars, Nova Launcher Prime adds unread badge notifications, as well as a plethora of other customization options. Nova Launcher is, arguably, one of the most vital of Android apps.
Granted, unread badge notifications should absolutely be a stock Android feature.

Just install the Material Dark Theme under the theme settings. If you want the font install iFont from the Play Store then install the "GeosansLight" font (you'll have to download the .ttf). I have to admit though that I recently had my phone returned from warranty and they wiped it. I couldn't get the font on again but maybe you'll have better luck.

Personally I feel that most of TouchWiz is still awful (despite the above changes) so I recommend installing Nova Launcher Prime which is currently on sale for $0.99 and definitely worth it.

There's no switch you can toggle, if that's what you mean. You'd have to use a 3rd party launcher, like Nova, which you can set up to look like the Pixel launcher and enable useful features like unread count badges.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher.prime Here is the paid key that lists all the paid features. I'm pretty sure some or all of the features I listed are only available in the paid version. Sorry if I got anyone's hopes up beforehand!

Explain how Android has zero security, and how the UI is complex, please. Because I own one and have interacted with iphones. Android's a whole ton simpler. In fact, here's my tutorial for Iphoneifying an android phone:

Step 1) download Nova Launcher Prime. If phone does not have an app store, transmit APK via bluetooth.

Step 2) Press home button. Choose Nova Launcher as new home menu.

Step 3) Done. Maybe you'll customize Nova settings here so it's closer to Iphone, but it's already really close to Iphone behavior (that and it has more features then IOS home customization does, so lol)

Install Nova Launcher Prime. You can keep the button as a home button but when you press it again launch an app or shortcut. Also you can long press the menu button and assign an app or shortcut. You'll need the paid version but it's not expensive.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher.prime&hl=en_GB https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher&hl=en_GB

Using a custom launcher will do this for you. A launcher is basically a replacement for your home screen, which allows for custom gestures/actions like you mentioned, as well as basic theming and drawers.

Nova launcher might be the most popular amongst reddit users (I use Nova), but there are probably 5-7 other launchers that are very similar and have slight advantages/disadvantages compared to Nova.

Theming can be done natively (limited), through Nova (limited) or through a combination using KLWP.

I highly recommend checking out /r/androidthemes for some of the best theming around. Hope that helps. I'm fairly new to Android, as well.

Get a case. I use the Speck Candyshell Grip.

A good third party launcher is Nova Launcher Prime.

As far as rooting goes. You may be out of luck if you just bought it. The lastest firmware hasn't been rooted yet without tripping Knox. Go ahead and update it to 5.1.1 if it's still on 5.02.

>I don't remember what features the free version of Nova lacks

From the Play Store listing, it's as follows:

• Gestures - Swipe, pinch, double tap and more on the home screen to open your favorite apps

• Unread Counts - Never miss a message. Unread count badges for Hangouts, SMS, Gmail and more using the TeslaUnread plugin

• Custom Drawer Groups - Create new tabs or folders in the app drawer

• Hide Apps - Keep a clean app drawer by hiding never used apps

• Icon Swipes - Set custom actions for swiping on app shortcuts or folders

• More scroll effects - Such as Wipe, Accordion, and Throw

The gestures and icon swipes are just incredibly useful to me - helps keep homescreen apps to a minimum while keeping far more apps and specific app actions open to me with a gesture or swipe. Love it.

>What are some immediate upgrades if I switch? What kind of conveniences can I expect?

Wiki, Google Now is sick, lollipop looks really nice, more freedom: a lot of the stuff you jailbroke for can be done on stock android eg. Icon packs, nova launcher. Something to note is if you're in the USA on a carrier you can expect some serious bloatware(can be disabled but not removed). Also every android manufacturer adds their own skin on stock (pure) android which can change performance, battery life, looks and add features for the better or worse. You might not like some skins but you can change the looks with themes (GS6 will have a theming engine without root) or just get a new flavour by flashing a custom ROM

>With the iPhone the main reason I jail broke was for split screen and tethering. Are these features standard on android phones?

Tethering yes, split screen don't think so, but easily acquired

>Any android smartphone recommendations?

HTC One M9 for design/sound, Galaxy Note for large size, Sony Z3/ Z3 compact for waterproofing/small size, LG G3 for QHD display, Nexus 6 for pure android, Oneplus One for cost. Reply with ideal size and special features you would want like waterproofing etc and I'll narrow it down.

I absolutely hate that. I want to connect my phone while I'm driving so I can answer phone calls if needed...it's honestly no harder to do than changing the radio station...but I cannot do it unless fully stopped.

It warranted me buying Nova Launcher Prime and setting a gesture to run a Trigger task to connect to my car. I can do it now without even looking at it.

I use Nova Launcher Prime with TeslaUnread for Nova which means I can have notifications on the homescreen/app drawer for any app I like. It's fully customisable too!

Nova Launcher Prime +

One Hand Operation + (Good Lock) +

Swiftly Switch Pro

No problem, but there are a couple things I forgot to mention in my original comment, and I apologize for not including them.

First, because you have a Samsung phone, you should also download Good Lock from the Galaxy app store if it is supported in your reigon. Good Lock is an official Samsung app that has various tools for further customization of your phone, outside of the home screen. For example, the "LockStar" tool lets you change the layout of your lock screen, the "QuickStar" tool lets you change the color scheme of your quick panel and hide icons on the notification bar, and the "NavStar" tool lets you create your own navigation bar. While this is by no means necessary for the themes you see in this subreddit (most only change the home screen), I still recommend Good Lock because it is free and allows you to make the rest of your phone match the theme.

Additionally, while it is not necessary for any themes, you should also look into buying Nova Launcher Prime, as some features (notification badges, home screen gestures, more app drawer options, etc.) are restricted in the free version of Nova Launcher. While you probably won't be using a lot of the gestures anyway, the lack of notification badges can be weird, and that is the main reason I recommend upgrading.

Best start with just launchers and icon packs for now �� those don't require root.

This is the most popular 3rd party launcher. . There is also a free version if you don't want to commit yet.

I didn't find a Metroid themed icon pack, but if you search the play store you can find plenty others that might be cool.

Nova Launcher Prime and Stealth Icon Pack.

Rich, deep rendering of black is such a strength of an OLED display - this setup highlights that. And hey - it's easy on battery, too :)

If you have an Android, Nova Launcher Prime is only $0.99. Easily the best launcher for mobile phones

Nova prime is on sale here in India for about 10₹(0.15$). I've waited so long for a sale like this. Kudos for the developer!

Here's the playstore link.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher.prime

Haha The app drawer is the place where all your apps are stored. On the Pixel's stock launcher (launcher = home screen), you swipe up on the dock. Nova Prime is a 3rd party launcher (IMO the best out there).

Nova Launcher Prime

I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher.prime&hl=en and my clock widget is Nexus launcher 1 from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.zooper.zwpro&hl=en

You can try using Nova Launcher together with TeslaUnread.

There are other launchers out there that have notification badges as well, I believe.

Nova Launcher Prime is on sale for $0.99 right now! It's a launcher (home screen) replacement app. You can customize the look of the home screen, app drawer, folders and install icon packs.

Well worth it!!

Free version with fewer features:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher&hl=en

Ya, you'll need to use a different launcher as the Google Now launcher does not support unread badges.

Install Nova Prime: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher.prime

Then install TeslaUnread: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.notifier

This will give you the functionality you desire. Please note that Nova Prime is not free. It'll cost you around $4...but it's worth it.

Get Nova Launcher and Zooper Widget and make your phone look however you want.

Strange! I am able to see preview notifications as they come after turning that Moto Peek Display off. I use the sms app Textra and I do get the sms on the locked and sleeping home screen, but not in Do Not Disturb mode. So I read somewhere that the Nova Launcher Prime (maybe the regular free Nova Launcher) will do a lot of options and settings available! I haven't tried it myself yet as I just got my new phone yesterday.

It’s been a couple of years since I’ve used Android but I liked Nova Launcher. It had a ton of customization options for all different things. It’s definitely worth it to get the paid version.

The launcher is the paid version of Nova. A really smooth and easy launcher that doesn't get in my way.

The Icon pack I've been using is called "Urmun" by Vertumus. It costs 90 cents, but in my opinion, the money is definitely well spent as new icons are still added quite regularly.

The wallpaper is a picture I took of the "Ponte 25 de Abril Lisbon" suspension bridge in Lisbon, Portugal. However, I am using an app to cycle through a folder of wallpapers every few hours.

If anyone is interested in the wallpaper, I would gladly share it of course :)

If you are on android, here is a workaround that will get you closer to what you are talking about. If you use Nova launcher prime in conjunction with sesame universal shortcuts, you can program a long press of the Spotify icon to display a list of up to five playlists. There may be a way to add a shortcut using Chrome if you pull up the playlist through the browser, ymmv though.

I have control of how big the icons are, how many rows/columns there are, screen padding, where the search bar is, if my wallpaper scrolls or not, how many pages my homescreen has; I can go so far as to change what, if any, animation plays when I open an app, and how fast that animation is.

As you can see I have no status bar, and also the app drawer is hidden. The app drawer is opened by pressing on the home button.

There are two things you have to download. The actual app, and then there's a license app. When you find that it should show that you already own it. Download both, open the license app, and it will then tell you to open the normal app. Once that happens you should be good to go.

Download Nova Launcher <strong>Prime</strong> and the Nova Google Now companion immediately. Nova is incredible. You can add swipe gestures, use custom icons, and tweak all sorts of simple settings the Pixel launcher inexplicably doesn't have (icon size, labels, drawer layout, pretty much everything you can think of).

It lists the features on it's store page. I personally bought it just to give something back and keep them going. I got prime a few months back, but I've been using the free one for years. As for features, mostly the unread badges.

Think that's it! Enjoy :)

Nova Launcher Prime is $5 and aside from all of the amazing customization features it adds, it includes an unread badge count. Best money I have ever spent on an app.

The Prime (paid) version goes on sale from time to time and adds some nice features. Keep an eye on /r/googleplaydeals and /r/android because the sales are posted there.

OK, and I just realized that the unread count badges are a Prime feature.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher.prime&amp;hl=en

It's the 11st animation in desktop animations not sure what is called in English version because I use HU but it translates "wipe effect" roughly

edit: do you have the Nova or Nova Prime maybe thats why you have less animations.

It's a feature only in the Nova Prime (the paid version): "Icon Swipes - Set custom actions for swiping on app shortcuts or folders". In that case, if you have for example a folder with 5 apps and press/hold, on the Edit menu there will be an option "Swipe Action". The swipe action can be anything (locking screen, going to the app drawer, etc) but I always use it to open a specific app. So in the GPS folder, a click opens the folder, a swipe opens the app I use the most (Waze), in the Magazines folder it opens the site I use the most, etc. Pretty handy.

Based on the name I was expecting Good Lock to only be a lock screen enhancement, not a system UI makeover. I've been running Nova Launcher for a couple of years and have my home screen/extra screens and app dock pages setup the way I like. It didn't seem worthwhile learning a whole new set of configuration options just to get lockscreen notifications working. I now have Echo Notification Lockscreen installed and it works well for me with relatively little effort.

I'm totally new to the Samsung ecosystem, so I decided to stick with what I already know from other android devices.

What about gift for a stranger? :D

But srsly, if you don't have it yet, Nova Launcher Prime is really worth the money.

I used Easy Backup, but it took forever to do the restore and it didn't restore all of my text messages; I would not recommend using it. I would wait a few weeks before updating if you can't root it yet honestly. Funny enough, the best backup apps utilize root access, so I'll be moving to one of those for now on. I use Shoebox for photos and videos though and I highly recommend that. Additionally, Nova Launcher can backup your home screen, which is extremely helpful.

I had a 2012 Nexus 7 laying around collecting dust. I figured it would be perfect as an always-on, dynamic calendar for in the kitchen. On the back of the counter, it was too small to really be able to read what it had on screen. Instead, mounting it to the fridge put it at the perfect height and location.

I'm using Nova Prime as the launcher so that I can remove widget padding, hide the status bar, disable the dock, and do a 12x12 grid so I can fine tune the size of the two widgets.

For the widgets, I'm using EventFlow Calendar. The left widget is the calendar grid, and the right widget is the agenda. They go perfectly together to get an overview for the month as well as the actual events coming up in the next few days.

To mount it to the fridge, I'm using the Google silicon case/cover and keeping it on the fridge with two rare Earth magnets. I've also got it charging and in developer options I have it stay on while charging.

The last thing I want to do is hide the navigation tray. Anyone know of any Xposed modules or apps that would allow me to do this?

Well I don't have an app, but Nova Launcher Prime is a launcher that has basic (customizable) gesture support. It doubles as a very good launcher as well.

Ok, I'm finally participating! Here's the apps I use on my AT&T S7 edge. I try to make this as close to stock Android as I can, since there is no ROM support for this variant.

To start with, I use Nova Launcher Prime with the Nova Google Companion app for a stock homescreen experience. I use the Pixel Icon pack and Materialize to fix any icons that don't fill out the circle I want them to be. I like the Google Wallpapers app for backgounds, but I am currently using this OnePlus 5 wallpaper.

All in one Gestures - this disables my hardware nav buttons so I can use Simple Control without accidentally pressing the hardware keys. It can also customize the hardware button clicks. I use a short press on home for Google Assistant and a long press for a pop-up of quick toggles.

Simple Control - this gives me an onscreen navigation bar that I can summon with a flick from the bottom of my screen, and it disappears after a second or two. So much better than using Button Mapper to flip the back and recents keys since I keep the backlights off all the time. If I can see the keys in the right order, I don't get confused.

Google Phone, Google Contacts, Android Messages - WAY better than Samsung versions. Phone was downloaded from the XDA Labs app, since Play store won't let me, and Contacts was downloaded from APKmirror for the same reason. I rarely use SMS so the stock app is fine for me.

I use Google's clock and calendar as my apps of choice for alarms, timers, and calendar. I use Month Widget to access the calendar. I also use Google Keep as my notes app of choice. I use Gboard as my keyboard. Google's Calculator works nicely for me too

Google Photos for photo management, of course

I use Package Disabler Pro to disable all the Samsung crap I don't use and which slows my phone down

Gravity Gestures gives me Moto X-like gestures like chopping, rotating, etc.

APKUpdater is a nice tool for updating apps from multiple sources

I use Ampere to monitor battery drain and charge

I use Caffiene to keep the screen on for certain apps, like Relay for Reddit

I use Block This! as a non-root adblocker

I use Clipo as my clipboard manager

I use Collateral for persistent notification. I absolutely love this app!

I use Darker for lowering screen brightness beyond the default lower bound at night, and I use Cornerfly to round the corners of my screen. I was surprised at how much I liked rounded corners once I tried it.

Look of Disapproval - ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I use XDA Feed (all devices) for cool wallpapers and apps and other interesting Android things.

I think that does it for themes and tools, so here's some other stuff:

I use Feedly and XDA Labs for news, and Pocket to save links. I use Twitter and Facebook Lite for social. Relay for Reddit is my reddit client of choice.

I use Waze for navigation to work, and Google Maps for longer trips.

I use TerrariumTV and Plex for TV/Movies, Podcast Addict for listening to The Weekly Planet, YMusic for listening to YouTube in the background, and NewPipe for YouTube downloads. NewPipe comes from F-Droid.

I have a Google Voice number so that I don't have to give out my actual phone number in certain cases.

Shazam for identifying music

Today Weather for awesome, accurate weather

Google Opinion rewards for free money

MLB.TV for following the Orioles disappointing season

FanFiction.net for shamelessly reading /r/HPfanfiction

Alphacross for daily crossword puzzles, Music Tutor for a fun way to sigh-read music, Pokemon Go, and Solitaire: Decked Out for games

Google Play Music and Amazon Music for music

Mint, Bank of America, Android Pay for money management and tap to pay

Solid Explorer and OneDrive for file management, Microsoft Word for the occasional document editing

Amazon Shopping and Prime Now for online shopping with the occasional eBay.

That does it for me, hope you found this helpful!

A few:

• Nova Launcher
• Textra - Feature-rich, heavily customizable SMS app.
• Pulse SMS - Less feature-rich than Textra, but it has desktop and tablet clients.
• Podcast Addict - Great podcast app with a lot of customizability, Android Auto integration, and the ability to search Apple podcast listings.
• YouTube TV - Maybe this one violates the spirit of the question because it's a subscription service, but the streaming quality is the best I've found and it plays nice with Google Assistant. I feel like Tony Stark when I tell my Google Home to play the Blackhawks game and it starts playing on my Chromecast.

Nova Launcher.

Nova Launcher-The best Launcher IMO

Google Keep-What I use to take notes I love the simplicity of it

SwiftKey Keyboard-I use this keyboard because I use the swipe gestures a lot and the prediction system is better than the any other keyboard on the market

Weather Timeline-The best looking weather app and also quite functional and reliable also the widgets are quite good looking and customizable.

Slide for Reddit/Relay for Reddit-I used relay for a while and liked it but recently I installed Slide and I'm loving it so far

Google Photos-I love this app the fact that I can have my photos stored in the cloud and not taking up storage on my phone is amazing also it has a nice design and the shared albums are really useful

Feedly-A great RSS Feed reader that does the job it needs to do

Red Moon-A nice app that puts a red light filter over your screen To ease the strain on your eyes . Like F.lux but for your phone also its open source

Terrarium TV-Free Movies and TV Shows without looking through tons of sites. With Chromecast support

• Fenix for Twitter
• EvolveSMS
• GTasks (paid removes ads, adds theming and background sync)

Minimalist Material

Completely unrooted setup on my 5" Pixel.

Everything is done with the Apps Nova Launcher Prime and Custom Navigation Bar (I can't stand the Pixel's default navbar icons).

Home button and double tap for app launcher. Google now to the left using Nova Google Companion. Dock disabled. Round search bar style with Nova labs' weather enabled.

HERE is ~~a larger~~ an enlarged* sample of my custom icon set. <strong>HERE</strong> is a .zip folder of all 350 icons I have.

All the icons are retrieved from the awesome site https://materialdesignicons.com/

I used their advance export and chose the colors from Google's material design color pallet or the app's branding (see: Spotify, Snapchat, Twitter, etc). I then set each icon individually using Nova's custom file option.

The homescreen icons were made using the Android Asset Studio's launcher icon generator.

<strong>HERE</strong> is the wallpaper.

Screenshot models were made using Screener.

Can I jump in on this home screen sharing? My workflow involves a 100% cloud-computing technique. Instead of the multi-pad lifestyle I like the multi-chrome lifestyle.

I'm a big fan of all things Google. Especially Chrome OS. I use this wallpaper on every device I own (besides my watch)

Trigger warning ^/s: I'm running Android 7.0 on a Nexus 5X with Nova Launcher. Second year university student.

Starting with the phone:

• Home Screen Image [3D Render] [Additional Render]
• App Launcher Image [3D render]
• Home screen demo video

I use Sync for reddit, Join to do cross-device stuff, myHomework (android, chrome) for homework, and pretty much just use the google suite of apps for eeeeeverything else.

As for other hardware [tech list]:

• My desktop is a ASUS CN62 Chromebox with dual screens.

• My tablet is the Google Pixel C [Home Screen] which is essentially my digital textbook.

• My laptop is the Google Chromebook Pixel running Chrome OS v53 (which can run Android applications) [Desktop]

I guess I might as well share my Moto 360 [Watchface image], since Myke and Grey talked about theirs. This is the same exact text layout as on the Android 7.0 stock lock screen.

-

Any other Chromebook/Android using cortex listeners? I love Chrome OS for sort of the same reason Grey and Myke use iPads for work. Chrome OS is a semi-barebones OS that allows me to do everything I need in a simple layout. However, my workflow is exactly opposite as theirs in the sense that they are entirely app-focused (to stay off the internet) and I do everything on the internet.

^Holy-fucking-hyperlinks.

Here is a link to a gif of the animated wallpaper. Note that the actual wallpaper is a perfect loop, so there is no jump on the actual homescreen.

Resources:

Launcher:

• Nova Pro with 5x7 desktop grid

The blue shelf is three different rectangular widgets:

• Weather Timeline
• Zooper with "Google" text set to open Google search on tap.
• Zooper empty to work as a background for app icons

Icons:

• Whicons

Animated background

• Simple Wallpaper
• This gif

Made this today when i had time, thought it looked nice to share!

Resources

• Font
• Hide Lock Elements
• Hid UI With Nova
• Color Codes
• Night Mode Clipping Guide Thanks to /u/MHcharLee
• File Fixed Names and Toggles to Properly Match and improved Day Mode.

Edit: Formatting, File

Launcher: Nova Launcher Prime with TeslaUnread for the unread message counts. Desktop grid size is 12x12 and the dock has 7 icons with medium height padding. Make the most out of the guesture controls, especially for icons!

Icons: Whicons

The banner and clock require Zooper Widget Pro. Pressing the date will launch calender and the clock will launch alarms. The red target is for whatever you want! Files linked below.

The music widget requires KWGT Kustom Widget Maker AND the pro key in order to import the file linked below. The track artist and title acts as a 'play/pause' button and the track artwork acts as a 'previous' button.

Banner, Clock and Music widgets here. (They should be unlocked and fully customisable - let me know if they're not.)

Background... and as a bonus treat, here's a folder of the same background with the mask in different areas of the screen

I have a 16:9 display so it may take a bit of tinkering if you have a different aspect ratio.

Enjoy! ✌️

Nova Launcher - most popular launcher, tons of customization

Bouncer - temporary permissions, great for privacy

Solid Explorer - best file manager on playstore, mixplorer is a good alternative by xda

Nova Launcher - I feel like everyone should know about. It's been getting better and better consistently. Customizes the look of your phone.

Kiwi Browser - Allows you to enable dark mode on all webpages and drop the address bar to the bottom. Still based on chrome.

LongShot - Scrolling screenshots and stiches them together for phones that don't have it natively.

Fluid Gestures - Removes navigation bar and allows a much better navigation experience.

Nacho Notch - for phones with notches (mines Pixel 3 XL) which is the best implementation for fixing notchs. Leaves status icons on either side but moves apps below the notch.

Textra - Best SMS app. Super clean material themed, stable and customizable.

Boost for Reddit - I've been on Reddit for over 10 years. No app has come close. I've tried official Reddit app, Sync, Joey, Reddit is Fun, Relay, Bacon reader. None of the others quite feel right.

Black Player EX - Smoothest material themed offline music player I use for audio books. Customizable, clean and fast.

Backdrops - Simple straight forward wallpapers.

Screen Recorder - Again for phones without native screen recording. Allows you to put a button in your notification shade alongside your WiFi and Bluetooth.

The S8 (up until recently) had the best display on a phone, and ever since getting one I've been trying to come up with a nice clean, simple theme that shows just enough information to act as a dashboard, but still be minimalist enough to not completely distract from how good wallpapers can look on this screen.

I've finally arrived at this; a simple smattering of basic information up top, with an understated and unobtrusive dock at the bottom. Both of which can work with almost any wallpaper you want, simply by changing the colour of the text.

I know that a lot of people dislike the dots in place of icons, but I only use the same 5 apps regularly and I don't move them around, so instead of trying to find multiple different icon packs that work with my ever-changing theme, this was a much simpler and more elegant solution. At least in my mind.

Resources:

• Nova Launcher Prime (+beta).

• KLWP + Pro.

• Wallpapers from various random sources, including my favorite, the shattered image posted by /u/bertesaurusrex here a few days ago.

Here is a Drive link that includes the KLWP file, as well as the 2 separate komponents and the wallpapers from my setups.

Hope you enjoy.

Relatively new Android user - only just decided to try something other than the Google Now Launcher.

Center/Left

Launcher: Nova Prime

Icon Pack: Omne, Min

Wallpaper: Here

Widgets: Jack's Music Widget, Weather Timeline, Today Calendar (on the right screen that I haven't posted a picture of).

Wallpaper https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8MuW3rVoB63Vm5ZUXRqbDJmSVk/view

Klwp file https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8MuW3rVoB63UWtNUDBOTHN0bWM/view

Nova Launcher https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher.prime

Lines Free Icon Pack https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.natewren.linesfree

Klwp Pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kustom.wallpaper.pro

This is a three screen setup. It wasn't shown in the gif but if you open the music player or expand the app drawer, they are closed automatically when you swipe to a different screen. To bring up the details of today's weather, tap the weather icon on the home screen. (And the percentage number in the weather is percent chance of rain.) Taping the clock opens the clock app and taping anywhere on the calendar events opens the calendar app.

To set up the percent chance of rain, create a weather underground account. (https://www.wunderground.com) Create an api. When you create your api it will give you a code. Copy that code into the text global labeled "RainChan" that I have off the root. The number should replace the YOURNUMBERHERE section of the link. Should look like this when you're done. http://api.wunderground.com/api/5b71780ad852b569/conditions/forecast10day/q/$li(lplat)$,$li(lplon)$.xml

To customize what apps you want to open, change the tap for the invisible box in each app overlap group. I've just found that if I have a bigger area to hit, I don't have to be as accurate when touching on apps. I've also hidden a stack group in the root that can be used as a stencil if you wanna add more or less apps to the right sidebar. If you wanna change the background, change the background image and the picture labeled "blur pic." Feel free if you have any questions!

I got the email about 10 minutes ago.

> Hello there -- > > Thank you for your recent purchase on Google Store. We’re really excited for you to experience our new products, but we have some not-so-great news: It’s going to take a little longer for you to receive your package than we expected. We know this can be frustrating, but the good news is that we’ve shipped your order and it’s on its way. > > You should’ve already received a shipment confirmation email from us. We’re also going to send you a $50 Google Play credit via email soon after your package is delivered. > > Again, we’re so sorry — and thank you again for your order. > > Sincerely, > > The Google Store Team

I actually received my Pixel XL today which is within the estimated 26-28th delivery date. I'm so amazed.

I spend quite a bit on the Play store, so this effectively reduces my Pixel cost by $50.

Here are some suggestions for people who are new to Android or are just looking for some good apps:

• Launchers: Nova Launcher Prime, Action Launcher 3
• File Explorer: Solid Explorer
• Twitter Client: Flamingo
• Weather: Weather Timeline
• Custom Homescreen Tools: Kustom Live Wallpaper, Kustom Widget
• Device Cleaner: SD Maid Pro
• Reddit Client: Sync for Reddit, Relay for Reddit, Reddit is Fun
• Alarm Apps: Sleep for Android
• Music Players: Shuttle+
• Hearthstone card packs
• Reddit gold
• Google Play Music subscription (I believe, but it should be 3 months free with your Pixel purchase anyway)

Here's the list of apps, settings and widgets I used:

1. Nova Launcher Prime - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher.prime&amp;hl=en

2. Zooper Widget Pro - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.zooper.zwpro&amp;hl=en

3. Parrot for Zooper for the clock widget (ZW33) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bedefined.vintageforzooper&amp;hl=en

4. Mnml UI for Zooeper for the Google widget below the apps(mnml15) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bedefined.mnmlui&amp;hl=en

5. Grid size is 9x7

6. Hid the notification bar from 'Looks and Feel' in Nova

7. Wallpaper - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Jf5NwFiax7FKhrxY4oI41XZ7Uz4KN8xa/view?usp=drivesdk Downloaded it from WallP App (Amazing high quality wallpapers)

8. Pixel Icon Pack 2 - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.themezilla.pixelui&amp;hl=en

For everyone wondering, here is the list of apps I used to achieve this theme. A poster also asked for a tutorial and I am going to start writing one. Stay tuned for that, but in the mean time, here are the apps:

• Wallpaper
• Launcher: Nova Launcher Prime
• App Wheel: Wheel Launcher Full
• Icon Pack: Glif - Icon Pack
• Clock and Weather: Weather Timeline
• Calendar Widget: Event Flow Calendar Widget
• Music Player: Rdio Music (widget)

• System Info: Mini Info+

• Note: The app wheel uses your chosen icon pack only on the main wheel and folders created. It is unable to display your chosen icon pack when you apply the 'App Drawer' function in the wheel launcher.

For those of you that asked for a tutorial, here you go:

• Below the water (theme) tutorial

I hope it helps!

Also, if anyone has any suggestions or comments to make the theme better, definitely let me know! I am always open to them.

• DashClock Widget

• Flight Lite
• Jack's Music Widget
• Zooper Pro
• Month

Have fun with 'em!

Here are my replacements:

Stock launcher -> Nova Launcher Prime

• Nova Launcher gives me way more customization and has gesture support for activating apps or application shortcuts

Xperia Keyboard -> Google Keyboard

• I like my keyboard as simple as possible while looking great. I tried Fleksy before and enjoyed it a lot but the gestures did not increase my typing speed so Google Keyboard is what I use since it looks better imo.

SMS -> Textra

• Great material look. Also has a quick reply overlay function which I like a lot.

• I use WhatsApp and Telegram. For data-based messenger, it really depends on what the majority of your social circle is using. For example, where I'm at, WhatsApp, Line and WeChat are the most popular choices although I very much prefer Telegram for its desktop client and the ability to sync messages across all devices even if I'm setting up on a completely new device. It also has a nice material look.

Wallpapers

• I tend to use my own wallpapers or fan art for wallpapers so...

Album

• I just use the stock album app since it already has all the functionality I need.

Walkman

• Same as Album

Movie

• I don't watch a lot of videos on my phone because I don't like watching it on a small screen. It is not because I chose a Z3C, Even asking me to watch an episode of Community or any other show on a Galaxy Note and I already find it too small. So the stock app is fine by me.

Reddit apps

• I've tried Reddit Sync, Reddit News and Bacon Reader. My favorite is Reddit Sync as it looks the best to me while still having very good functionality.

Widgets

• I use Zooper Widget Pro to get a sidebar-esque feel with my home screen with the help of the wipe transition in Nova Launcher.

• Buzz Widget for my clock widget

• Month Calendar Widget for my calendar simply because it looks the best to me.

• Simple Calendar Widget for my day planner view. Same reason as Month Calendar Widget.

• Eyes in the Sky for my weather widget for its accuracy (well...most of the time) and looks.

• Power toggles for toggles on my home screen with simple looks.

I got a dBrand black titanium brushed metal skin for the back of my Z3C and I love it. I gives my phone an even more premium look while protecting the back glass and giving it more grip. I use the matte screen protector that came with the phone, which I have no complaints about since I prefer matte over glossy. It already has some scratches on the protector though so I may be changing it soon. I would love to use a glass screen protector but it will no longer allow my phone to be used with the charging dock, which is a must for me.

My Homescreen

I think Nova Launcher Prime is $4.99, and Nova is the best launcher IMO.

resources:

• Nova Launcher
• Apricity icons
• KLWP made by me.
• Wall

First and foremost I would like to give a shout out to u/iluvPotatoe for giving me the inspiration for this theme. Original post here. All of the toggles at the top are functional and switch icons / background color when toggle on or off. The weather background image will change to whatever the weather is. For a detailed explanation on how to achieve this, see this comment. This is my folder with the different weather images.

Please let me know what you think, I know it's a pretty simple set up but it does all I need. I couldn't decide whether to keep the wiget all white or have the yellow gold to match the trees, think this looks good though.

Hey /r/androidthemes! I switched over from iOS about three months ago and Android is incredible! I was heavily into the jailbreaking scene and customized the hell out of my iPhone 6s. It's so much less of a headache on Android though because of just how much there is to do right out of the box. Anyway, this is my first theme that I'm pretty satisfied with. I actually used this icon pack on my iPhone before and really liked it, so I'm glad to see it on Android.

EDIT 2: While I'm at it, <strong>HERE</strong> is the .novabackup file if you just wanted to click that and apply my theme and settings right to your phone (warning, this will erase all your gestures, etc and apply mine). It won't apply my icons to any apps I haven't set, but see the previous edit for a link to all those icons.

This is my first real attempt at creating a Kustom wallpaper so I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. I created this theme as I was unsatisfied with a lot of the material design themes on here and I wanted a little more. All in all this theme took me about a week to create and it was a great way to learn Kustom. If you download it I hope you enjoy using it as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Each colored dot opens one app on tap and another on swipe (using Nova Prime's on swipe option). The Google icon opens Google Now when tapped, and when swiped opens a folder with two more icons: first screen, second screen. I have also mapped gestures to open the app drawer, expand the notification shade, etc.

Let me know if you have any other questions regarding this theme!

I think I finally got a setup that I really like. I won't lie, I had to spend a couple of bucks to get everything...

Homescreen I am using the Nova Launcher Prime with the lines pro icon pack. I am also using the Tesla unread notifications for nova launcher. Each row of icons at the bottom is an icon folder. And the bottom row is scrollable... there are 5 pages of icons that I can scroll through. Each page is grouped by an app type... photography, sports, social... etc. The icons on the main page are my most frequently used apps. So I am always on the main page and it's only the lower line of icons that move. here is a short video clip demonstrating this Here is my Wallpaper I think i got it from the Zedge App I am also using the KWGT Pro for the weather and clock widget. I am also using the "ShineBlack" theme that I got from the Samsung store. It gives everything a dark look with the perfect font and colors. The background of all the menus is this black and blue geometric pattern and the default icons and menu text are like this as well. Here is an example of how the menus look The menus are super clean and easy to read. The theme also comes with an animated lock screen image that is the same image that is used as the background in the menus.

Just set this up, trying something new. http://imgur.com/7ZTtwYp

Edit: Nova Launcher prime with Retroika icon pack and this wallpaper

Good question. Right now we're not. We're just trying to build something ppl like. Nothing matters if we fail that. If we pull that off then I see 2 paths...

1) If it looks like only the hardcore Android tinkerer niche is into this then we can focus in on their needs and charge for advanced features. Kinda like /u/kevin_teslacoilsw does w/ NovaLauncher Prime or /u/joaomgcd does w/ his Tasker Plugins or Join. Those guys both do great work and I'm sure they're able to pay the bills.

2) If we can make this something a wider audience likes and can show real user growth and retention, I think we can raise some $ to build a polished consumer app. There's a ton of potential in breaking the functionality out of native apps. If we can get past these lock screen compatibility issues, bugs, and polish it into a pretty experience then maybe we've got a shot to make something everyone sorta feels is better. The dream is it can be something like the swipe keyboard. It's just easier to use. And investors notice things like SwyftKey getting bought for $250MM by Microsoft.
I really hope option #2 can happen but we've got a long way to go. Right now, getting ppl like y'all to like it keeps us going. I could see an app discovery feature being good for users and potentially bring in revenue. But one thing we're not going to do is put ads on your lock screen.

Edit: oh and re:keyboard, we're talking about integrating the system keyboard but it's got performance and UI downsides. We agreed this morning that we'd take a hard look at that in about a week.

Full Background picture. Made by Simon Stalenhag, recommend checking out his website.

Icons are a mix of Walklust and circles placed on the background.

Icons are part of the background, so they are selected using invisible widgets made with Desktop VisualizeR.

Clock and temp were made in UCCW.

the widget on top (clock,calendar, system info) is a personalized Zooper Widget based on a template i found on Reddit.

One of you even wrote me this email that actually convinced me to make this post.

If you use a third-party launcher such as Nova Launcher Prime, you can fix most, if not all, of these things today.

Won't start off without Nova Prime launcher, followed by Pocket app.

One is a launcher, the other is offline archiving utility app, which greatly removes dependency on active data connection to read your fav articles. Nova is paid, while Pocket is free.

Nova Prime

Pocket

MoonReader Pro, paid app, was recently on sale, and worth it imo. Too good a reader/reading app

Threes, a paid game, is the best time pass and soothing game I have come across.

Paper camera is (paid), something which I have enjoyed from day one. Can anybody pls recommend a good competing camera app?

Also,

Weather Timeline, paid, has not served me as effectively as I had hoped for. Any recommendation for a good weather app for India based locations?

This is my second theme, first one being this one. Setup is the same, as you can see.

The little circular icon is EAS, if you were curious.

EDIT: Updated, had to zoom in on the wallpaper a bit to move it over, as the clock widget was getting too close to the blocks at times. Also changed some icons.

INSTRUCTIONS: Apologies for the length of the comment. I'm writing this as if you've never heard of KLWP by the way. Maybe you are a master level themer already! Step 1: If you do not have Nova Launcher for Android, download it here (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher.prime&amp;hl=en ). Once you have Nova Launcher set as your default launcher: 1) Go to the settings of Nova Launcher >Look & Feel>Notification Bar>Turn toggle for "Show notification bar" off. This will give you a cleaner look. 2)In settings, >Dock>Dock icons>5, then add as many dock pages you think you want. I have 2 pages of dock icons for a total of 10 icons. Don't set a background to the dock in the settings. Step 2: Icon packs used: 1) Obviously, if you have preferable icons packs that you already use, that's your choice. In this set up, I've used MIN icons (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryanmkelly.me.min&amp;hl=en ) for the 4 folders I have toward the middle of the home screen. You can make your own folders or you can choose to eliminate folders altogether. Once you have a folder created with a few apps in it, press and hold the icon for the folder down for 2 seconds, then press "edit". This launches the Edit Folder window. You can press on the square box where the folder icon is located, then scroll down the list of installed icon packs to MIN. Choose an icon that can represent the category best for your related apps. 2) The icon pack used for my dock icons is by the designer sikebo, Materialistik (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sikebo.materialistik.material.icons&amp;hl=en ). It has been the one I default to since there are over 3,000 icons and the color palette he uses is really nice and vibrant. In Nova Launcher's settings, scroll to "Look & feel" and change icon theme to Materialistik. Step 3: Add your apps that you want to your dock. Step 4: Download KLWP Live Wallpaper Maker (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kustom.wallpaper&amp;hl=en ) This will be the main program in which you will be loading a skinned theme from AH Kollection. Step 5: Download AH Kollection themes from store. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kustom.ahkollection&amp;hl=en ) & download A2K Presets (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kustom.a2kkustom&amp;hl=en ) Step 5: Once you have KLWP, open the app and click on the upper left corner menu. You will see a gray side bar menu load on the left side of your screen. Click the "Load Preset" button. This will bring you to a screen with "Featured", "Installed" and "Exported" options for themes. Click on the "Installed" category and scroll down to the theme from A2K, specifically A2K087. Once you select this theme, you will be brought to a screen where you can now load and customize literally every aspect of all text and functionality. Steps within KLWP Modification Screen 1) Click on the Floppy Disk logo at the top of the screen, a pop-up should load to have you set KLWP as a live wallpaper. Once you've done this, this should have then modified your new home screen to look like that A2K theme with your dock and desired folders from Nova Launcher. 2) Go back into the KLWP app: Toward the bottom of your screen, you will seen some menus for "Items" "Background" "Layer" "Position" "Globals" "Shortcuts". Click on the menu "Globals" >click "Pick image", this will automatically populate a screen of recent images you have on your phone. Click on the wallpaper image you want to use. Click the Floppy Disk Icon any time you make changes so that they load on your home screen. Also, if you create a theme you really like, go to the "Export" menu in the settings of KLWP and label your exported theme with a title and scroll down to click save. This ensures that none of your work will be lost. I did not include instructions on modifying the RSS feed, but if you are interested, I can tell you how to set the rss feed to specific xml links so it pulls information you want to see from different news sources. The default ones it populates are pulled from Reuters or BBC I believe.

First off, I am relatively a beginner when it comes to using Kustom, tasker, and putting up downloads and stuff so I apologize for any strange issues that might come up, or if there is a simpler way to do this that I'm not aware of. Second, it can be a bit confusing if you are not familiar with kustom and tasker but messing around with them on your own will help you to figure things out. Anyway, lots of words incoming.

Launcher used:

• Nova Prime

Apps used:

• KLWP

• KWGT

• Tasker

• Flatcons Black

Files for KLWP, KWGT, and Tasker profiles + tasks:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6s0JLN8m0zAYTlKNzRFUjZOeXM

You will need the pro versions of KLWP and KWGT to load the files from drive into each app.You could, if you wanted to, make the widget inside of KLWP as part of the wallpaper, but you would have to do that yourself. You will also need tasker if you want the notification widget to work and keep count.

Also, this is intended as a single screen setup using Nova Launcher. Adding multiple pages might make it look strange unless you add animations in KLWP.

Ok setting up Kustom: So if you have the pro versions of the Kustom apps, download the 2 zip files onto your phone. Then, from your phone's file manager, move the klwp.zip into the wallpapers folder and the kwgt.zip into the widgets folder of your Kustom parent folder. reference pics for this step and the next step here

If the zips aren't in the appropriate folder, you won't be able to find them in the app for the next step.

Launch KLWP app. In KLWP, set kustom as your wallpaper, then tap on those 3 horizontal stacking lines in the top left corner and tap "load preset". tap on "exported" and you should see the basic setup of the wallpaper. tap on that, and save it, and it should be set as your wallpaper.

Its the same process to setup the widget, with the exception that you need to add the kustom widget template first to your homescreen and then tap on it to start configuring. Then load preset and save as we did before.

Unfortunately, I'm not really sure how to import the tasker profiles and tasks for the notifications to work, but I provided the ones I made so that people can try on their own. I think you need to place them into tasker folders too but I am not sure. You can always make your own in tasker and match it in kustom, but it can be complicated if you are not familiar with them. That's when tinkering on your own comes in.

The best thing about using kustom is that you can change everything to your liking. Maybe someone can find more official looking lions or other symbols to use for this :)

Thank you and good luck to everyone trying to replicate this. Let me know if something is not working and I will try to help. Thank you Adam for your amazing game and card designs.

I am pretty New to all of this, if you have any suggestions for improvement, please tell me :)

I got the idea for that from a post i saw on here.

I definitely start with a launcher that I actually like - Nova Launcher is my go to (and its very cheap right now for the Pro version!), but I know some people like the most recent version of Action Launcher, too.

With Nova Launcher, you're able to assign both a tap and swipe feature on a homescreen folder. For example, you can have it set to open Reddit on tap (and have the folder look like a basic Reddit icon), but open the folder if you swipe up on the icon. This lets you have a bunch of folders on your homescreen without... well, looking like you do. It also basically gives you the ability to keep your most used icons on the screen without giving up folders, either. Super useful if you want a more minimal design, or just wanna save homescreen space.

Most people I know also have a clock/weather widget on their home screen, too - makes sense as far as utility goes. I personally use the one that comes with the Weather Timeline app, but feel free to explore and find the one you like the most.

If you want any more inspiration, head on over to /r/androidthemes! They have a ton of stuff over there that both looks nice and functions well for daily use. (Don't be afraid to check out /r/iOSthemes too - their stuff will look a bit different, but it's still a good place for inspiration).

Yada, yada Zooper.

I made a few changes to my current home screen setup, fairly happy with it.

• Nova Launcher Prime

• Whicons

• Home Screen: Hello made by me for Zooper Widget Pro

• Weather: Authentic Weather

Feedback/suggestions are welcome! I'm especially interested to hear if anyone has a better icon suggestion than the set I'm using now.

Special thanks to /u/ThatSwedishMoose for helping me out with my first theme! It's been enjoyable and I think I'll be making more in the future. For this I used:

• Nova Launcher Prime
• Whicons
• Zooper Widget Pro
• /u/Darth_Mau5's Zooper Welcome Screen Widget
• Authentic Weather

I had $50 of Google Play credit so this was definitely worthwhile. It's nice not having all the clutter anymore.

What I'm using:

Nova Launcher Prime

Notify (The notification widget on the homescreen)

Zooper Widget Pro

Rifon Icon Pack

Event Flow Calendar Widget

I just created zooper widget boxs and set them at the same scale and location on different screens and bitmapped the icons inside, except on the ones in the main box, those are just the normal, movable icons. Nova is set on swipe so the positions never change.

What I'm currently staring at.

Nova Prime with Tesla Unread (not pictured)

Stock UI Icon Pack

Wallpaper from 500 Firepaper Set to automatically change my background every hour

Dashclock Set to display weather in current city, as well as unread texts

Lastly, each icon on that page is actually a folder with the icon replaced and the name removed.

For my home screen I used:

• Nova Launcher Prime
• Whicons
• Zooper Widget Pro
• A modified version of /u/Darth_Mau5's Zooper Welcome Screen Widget
• Authentic Weather

• Wallpaper: Imgur
• Launcher: Nova Prime
• Icons: Min Icon Pack

Longtime fan of the community!
Long story short, I got tired of MIUI in my Redmi Note 4, so ditched it all with a clean wipe. Resurrection Remix Oreo and Magisk. Here's me finally taking a first step into the world of theming. All suggestions welcome!

I did a version of the homescreen with Linebit, but it didn't vibe with me at all. So sticking with Lines at the moment.

A work in progress

• Nova Launcher

• Retroika Icon Pack currently on sale

• Wallpaper

• KWGT custom clock widget

I have just started messing around with custom widgets and don't have the extra cash to buy the pro version of KWGT or KWLP or whatever that other better one is. Until then, I'm just playing around.

My previous one

Theme inspired by Helvetica and Pastel, as well as my Kinda Blue Pixel 2

To ensure your device works the way you want it to, I recommend reading through this entire guide first. I am more than happy to help if anyone is experiencing problems or errors, but please make sure it hasn't already been covered here first. Thank you!

Requirements

Nova Launcher (not sure if it will work with free Nova) - Changes the app drawer.

KLWP - Sets the custom wallpaper that is shown above.

Whicons - Replaces stock icons with white icons, as shown in the app drawer. Requires Nova Launcher to apply.

Additional Requirements

These are not pictured, but do still affect the system. I have used these apps to make almost every application "dark", as well as notifications. I have also replaced the stock Phone and Messages app with more customizable variants to have black/white themes there as well.

andromeda - Runs substratum theme engine. A PC is required.

Custom Navigation Bar - Method of hiding "soft keys" on the home screen.

Dialer - Phone replacement.

Gboard - Allows the use of a system-wide black keyboard.

substratum theme engine - Allows the use of custom themes without a root. A PC is required.

Swift Black Substratum Theme - Global dark theme for applications. Requires substratum theme engine.

Textra SMS - Messages replacement.

Installation

Nova Launcher Settings. Nova Launcher --> Backup & import settings --> Restore or manage backups --> Browse --> a_touch_of_mint.novabackup --> OK

Nova Launcher --> Look & feel --> Icon theme --> Whicons

KLWP File. KLWP --> Sidebar --> Load Preset --> Click 'Folder' icon --> Downloads --> a_touch_of_mint.klwp --> 'Save' (Floppy disk icon)

Settings --> Search --> Default apps --> Phone app --> Dialer

Settings --> Search --> Default apps --> SMS app --> Textra

Settings --> Apps --> See all ### apps --> Messages --> Disable --> OK

Settings --> Apps --> See all ### apps --> Phone --> Disable --> OK

Settings --> Search --> Keyboard & input --> Virtual Keyboard --> Gboard --> Theme --> Pick dark theme of liking

Dialer --> Three dots in corner --> Theme color --> Black

Dialer --> Three dots in corner --> Settings --> Settings --> Style --> Dark mode --> Black

Textra --> Three dots in corner --> Settings --> Customize Look --> Screen Color --> Black

Textra --> Three dots in corner --> Settings --> Customize Look --> Theme Color --> Primary --> Black

Textra --> Three dots in corner --> Settings --> Customize Look --> Theme Color --> Accent --> White

Textra --> Three dots in corner --> Settings --> Customize Look --> Bubble Colors --> Recieved --> Black

Textra --> Three dots in corner --> Settings --> Customize Look --> Bubble Colors --> Sent -- Black

Settings --> System --> About phone --> Tap 'Build number' 8 times

Settings --> System --> Developer options --> USB Debugging --> On (can be turned off once installation is done, but is required every time to use substratum theme engine and andromeda)

These next steps are for a computer.

Install and set up andromenda desktop client

Install and set up Android Studio

The rest are a mix of phone and computer. It may take a few tries to get everything right

andromenda client (phone) --> Plug phone in to computer --> accept RSA key popup (might not show up right away, so either wait or try plugging in again)

andromeda client (pc) --> start_andromeda --> Allow USB debugging --> OK (might not have to accept USB debugging if prompt was accepted on previous step)

substratum theme engine --> Swift Black --> Next --> Select Android version --> Flip switch to 'on' --> System accent color --> Cyan

Swift Black --> Notifications background --> Black notifications without sender name fix

Configure the rest of the settings to your liking

Swift Black --> Build & Enable

Custom Navigation Bar --> Grant using PC

'platform-tools' folder (installed with Android Studio) --> open 'your CLI of choice (Mac --> Terminal, Windows --> Powershell, Linux --> You probably know what you're doing anyways)' -->

• (Windows: .\adb.exe shell pm grant xyz.paphonb.systemuituner android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS)

• (Mac/Linux: adb shell pm grant xyz.paphonb.systemuituner android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS)

Custom Navigation Bar --> On

Custom Navigation Bar --> Navigation bar --> Theme --> Filled

Custom Navigation Bar --> Navigation bar --> Change immersive settings

Custom Navigation Bar --> Navigation bar --> Hide navigation bar

Custom Navigation Bar --> Immersive mode --> Hide navigation bar --> Nova Launcher

Done!

Further customization

Nova Settings can be customized very easily if you want to change the way the app drawer looks and functions. By default, no apps are hidden and there are no categories.

To customize each of the six apps on the home screen, the KLWP has to be edited. KLWP (with a_touch_of_mint.klwp loaded) --> Main --> Discord, Phone, Messages, Spotify, Reddit, Snapchat (see layout below) --> TOUCH --> Launch App --> App --> Choose app

Icon layout:

Reddit   Spotify   Snapchat


Phone     SMS      Discord

EDIT: The Original description was a mess, so I decided to redo it from scratch. It is so easy to overlook what apps are needed to get a set up after you're done.

One thing I really like about this set up (and KLWP's nature) is that you can easily change the entire concept with just a few tweaks. Change the background and the center image, crop it and you have something entirely different. I thought about using globals but for every setup the accent color should be on a different element in the clock overlap group (ie, here the hour and selector have the accent, but I could've chosen the rectangle and the minutes to use the accent color) so I kinda left it halfway through. TL;DR: If you don't like Kanye or the palette you can change it in litteraly 30 seconds.

The launcher is Nova Prime. It really doesn't matter what grid size since the only actual widget is the tasks on the right and that can be resized as you want. The icon pack is one of r/Androidthemes' favorites: Glyphs and I set dock icon size around 120%, but this may change from one device to another (and of course DPI settings).

I used KLWP, here is the file. The music and week komponents are from DBK's pack here.

The aformentioned task widget is from Swipes tasks widget. It's a really nice and simple app, btw. I have their web app as home page on my PC and it works great.

Now, about the lockscreen, it's Acdisplay for the actual lockscreen with a self made Zooper Pro for the clock.

Thanks for the great feedback on my first post and if you make a variant please share in this thread!

Shout out to /u/Stahlfan for the inspiration, this post specifically:http://imgur.com/a/lXFNr. Any tips or points would be appreciated!

First, the stock launcher is ok, but

• Nova launcher is better.

You'll also probably want a good reddit app, I've used and liked:

• Relay for Reddit (There is also a free version. This was known as Reddit News but changed their name due to Reddit TOS)
• Sync for Reddit (Used to be known as reddit sync, also has a free version)

If you like to cook

• paprika (Also has Desktop version you can sync)
• Anova Remote (To use with the Anova sous vide machine. Not the official app but they don't have one yet, this is the best thus far)

For reading:

• calibre companion (To use with calibre to transfer books)
• ezPDF (there is also a free version so you can try it out)
• Aldiko
• Moon Reader+

If you don't already have it, setup a plex server and then get:

• plex

Most games work better on the larger screen of a tablet. I am fond of the following:

• Carcassonne
• Go
• Ticket to Ride
• Small World 2

Two more apps that connect to external devices.

• Smart Scope (Which connects to lab-nation's smart scope
• SDR Touch (This connects to a RTLSDR, see [/r/rtlsdr](/r/rtlsdr) but you'll probably also need the RTL2832U driver)

Also an app that I use more on my phone but you might like on the tablet is Pocket Casts which manages audio and video podcasts.

I thought I should post this here since the boat and icons were created using KLWP.

Launcher: Nova Launcher Prime.

Personalization App: Kustom Live Wallpaper Pro (KLWP).

Default Aspect Ratio: 18:9 (1440 x 2880).

Image/Artwork: The sailboat was self-made in KLWP using the App’s shape feature.

Icons: All icons were also self-made in KLWP using the App’s shape feature. The communications icons—top row—have notification badges in the upper right corner. The “bowl of ice cream” figure serves as my gallery icon.

Information Cluster: The ambient information group is a modification of Irwin Kurniadi’s “Between” Komponent which is part of the KLWP base pack.

Fonts: Quattrocento Sans 700, Regular, and Playball. The fonts are among the many preinstalled Google fonts in KLWP. They can also be downloaded from the Google fonts’ page. Quattrocento Sans and Playball.

KLWP File Download: Shipshape

Launcher: Nova Launcher Prime. Primarily used for its gestures feature and to hide the default status and navigation bars.

Personalization App: KLWP Live Wallpaper Pro Key. Used to create and control the setup.

Wallpaper/Background: The grid-like background texture was created in KLWP using the Tiling/Repeat function. The circular layout was also self-made in KLWP and is inspired by this sample business flyer.

Time/Alarm/Battery Cluster: The battery status indicator is self-made. Pressing the icon opens the battery usage page. Touching the time or alarm indicators opens the alarm/clock settings page.

Date Cluster: Self-made. Touching the date cluster opens the default calendar application.

Weather Icon(s): The weather icon is self-made in KLWP. The design is largely based on Adam Whitcroft’s Climacons with some elements of Erik Flowers’ Weather Icons. An image of the individual icon conditions/states can be seen here. Touching the current weather conditions opens the default weather application.

Music Player: The default music player is opened by touching the track information. The music player icons are self-made in KLWP.

Application Icons: The App icons are self-made in KLWP.

Fonts used: Lora 700 (Date, Time, Artist’s Name); Lato Regular (Month, Alarm, Battery Status, Album and Song Titles, Notification Badges); Saginaw Bold (Weekday).

Anyone wishing to review the KLWP and provide input on how I might improve this and any future projects can download the file here.

Edit:....FYI, the klwp file isn't all that. it's just top right info widget?(is it a widget in klwp?) and the blurred dock+outline, and dim the wall 30% or so, not the glyphs. i changed my icons to the glyph icons on the home screen thru the ui edit, not in klwp. u'll have to dload and install the icon pack, it's not in the play store and since apk links are prohibited, u'll have to get those on ur own...or just use ur own icons..or lines or something. u'll have to adjust for ur own resolution, etc. the 'X' over the dock calls greenify app to hibernate background noise, so u'll have to do some edits if u don't want that or whatever. i saw a similar setup on twitter and just whipped this together last night.

You should have ask this question to /r/AndroidQuestions.

But before you post question there, there are many post with same question. "Which apps should I buy ........?"

Are you an advance user or just a normal user? Do you like to customise your phone experience?

You can try,

• Nova launcher prime - was sale for ₹10 during Christmas and diwali.

• Blackplayer Ex - Good music player app with many customisations for good price. Alternatively try, Eon Player or Phonograph.

• Solid File explorer - Good file manager app.

Don't use ES file manager. Chinese company baidu(DU Apps) bought it and added ads and started doing shady things. You can't trust that Chinese company.

• Toolwiz photo editor - to remove ads. Or any photo editing app that you like to remove ads/get more features.

• Edge gestures - gesture navigation app. Unlike other apps it doesn't ask unnecessary permissions. Alternatively try, pro version of Gesture control.

• All India Newspaper - Try free version. If you like it and want to remove ads. Purchase pro version.

• Any other apps you are using that has ads in it. But pro version to get rid of those ads.

• If you can gather ₹297, you can buy 3 months gaana subscription from it. Google play music is also offering 90 days free trial for new users.

If you haven't purchased any movie, book from Google play store. You will have some offer for first trial.

• You can buy 1 book from playstore. If you haven't redeemed this offer yet. You can get 85% off on some titles.

• You can rent eligible movie title (1 movie/user) for ₹20. You can watch it in 30 days

I hope this will help!

Copied from another thread. Looks nothing like the Pixel Launcher setup, but just goes to show you how versatile Nova is.

Minimalist Material

Completely unrooted setup on my 5" Pixel.

Everything is done with the Apps Nova Launcher Prime and Custom Navigation Bar (I can't stand the Pixel's default navbar icons).

Home button and double tap for app launcher. Google now to the left using Nova Google Companion. Dock disabled. Round search bar style with Nova labs' weather enabled.

HERE is ~~a larger~~ an enlarged* sample of my custom icon set. <strong>HERE</strong> is a .zip folder of all 350 icons I have.

All the icons are retrieved from the awesome site https://materialdesignicons.com/

I used their advance export and chose the colors from Google's material design color pallet or the app's branding (see: Spotify, Snapchat, Twitter, etc). I then set each icon individually using Nova's custom file option.

The homescreen icons were made using the Android Asset Studio's launcher icon generator.

<strong>HERE</strong> is the wallpaper.

Screenshot models were made using Screener.

Okay! So I actually have quite a bit of experince with Android and iOS as I had an android for 3 years then an iPhone 6 till now, and now an OP5. You'll find that every setting you can really think of from the iPhone is on Android but might be called something else of behave slightly differently. One thing I forgot about is by default there are no notification badges (the red bubbled number on an app) all notifications occur on the lock screen and in the status bar at the top of your screen. Now of course you can download a different launcher that has the badges built in but I personally prefer them not being there. (If you're interested in that and want to try a really good launcher, look at Nova Launcher)[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher.prime&amp;hl=en]. Updating apps is done automatically by default, you'll get a notification in the status bar when it is doing it. On the topic of notifications, you can greatly customize what the slider does (i.e. which apps are excluded from each level, weather the status LED turns on or not, etc.) seriously just play around with settings and find what you like (I will send a text to myself and then put my phone to sleep right away before it goes through so I can see how the settings affect the real world action).

I pay $1.99 a month for 100GB of Google Drive storage, I have all my school work on it and then both my computers have shortcuts on the desktops so I can access work from any device in a regular folder view. This carries over to the phone in which I can view all my documents and such straight from there (one thing I like doing is being able to scan a document on a printer to my phone have it go straight to my Google Drive so I can access it else where). I really like a lot of Google's services and embraced quite a few but there are also ones I just don't use, such as their messaging and voice chat programs.

Android is really customizable and with the OP5 you're getting a near stock experience. I dislike having multiple home pages so I only keep my most used apps on one screen along with a discrete weather and clock widget.

Remember that iOS and Android are completely different operating systems but also share many, many features and settings. It will feel different but it's well designed and many icons and apps use the same terminology so it's not hard figuring your way around. Enjoy your new phone!

I just created this setup today, alongside a system-wide AMOLED theme using Substratum. Although the icon pack looks pretty good, I want something that pops a bit more against the black in the wallpaper.

Nova Launcher Prime - Probably the best launcher out there right now, atleast for me.
Piktures- Easy to use gallery, you can sort by location,date and time taken and set locked albums.
aCalendar- My favorite calender app so far. Easy and comfortable.
Ctrl-F- Find any word you want in a printed document by scanning it and then searching for it.
Kodi- You can watch whatever the hell you want here.TV,Movies,YouTube etc. and without ads! This pretty much counts as piracy so if you're against piracy don't use it.
Tasker- Make your phone do whatever the hell you want! You need a bit of knowledge in it tho.
SURE Universal Remote- Remote control for pretty much anything, using this because my built in remote controller and any other remote control apps don't have the AC company i'm using.
Shazam- Pretty well known so yeah.. find out what music is playing with this app.

Apps used: Nova Launcher (Prime), Zooper Widget (Pro), and Tasker.

Tasker is set to cycle through the BitDay wallpapers every 3 hours, based around this time cycle.

When headphones are inserted, Tasker launches a scene to choose a media player, as seen in the second image.

Additionaly, as many of the system noises I can change have been. Plugging the phone into a power source makes the noise when you use a computer in-game, and unplugging plays the disconnecting noise. When battery level falls below 20%, it plays the low health beeping sound four about a second. When the battery reaches 100% from charging, it plays the Pokemon Center healing jingle.

Keep in mind that you can also get books / music subscription as in - app purchase with the credits.

For games, I'd suggest trying Monument Valley, Minecraft PE, Doom &amp; Destiny, The Bard's Tale, Osmos HD, Worms 3 and Star Wars: KOTOR or Final Fantasy VI as cash-dumps (they are expensive).

Using Nova gesture commands to open the camera, open the app drawer, and hide/show the notification bar. Have been able to keep the stock LG launcher's excellent double tap to wake/lock feature by using an awesome free app called Screen Off and Lock and linking that to Nova's double tap gesture.

Honestly, this phone is the effing bomb. Was really tempted to pre-order the Nexus 6P but the G4's removable battery and SD card slot swayed me, and being tied to a 24 month contract am pretty sure I made the right decision. So so happy with the phone :-)

I remade the clock /u/alpha-k posted here yesterday. I thought it looked cool, but couldn't find it either, so I remade it with Zooper.
I have used different fonts, since I didn't know what was used and removed the weather skin from the clock, because Zooper's weather forecast is always wrong for me. Instead I put a countdown "clock".

Comments: One of the most intuitive options I would recommend for everyone has been changing the Home button to open the app drawer inside Nova. It makes for less screen clutter and it's a natural button to use for bouncing between your homescreen and apps.

Another feature that I have enabled but isn't shown in the video is Nova's options to change what app gets opened when swiped. It cut my screen clutter in half. Swiping on Phone opens Contacts, swiping on Messenger opens Hangouts, swiping on Relay for Reddit opens Chanu, and swiping on Maps immediately routes me home (uses a shortcut).

If you like what you see, give me a vote on the CONTEST page! This is my first submission; do let me know if you have questions or tips.

Yeah, try it out for awhile. I found it to be much faster and convenient than the default once you get the app settings to your liking. Let me know how it goes.

And yes, it's all custom. No phone manufacturer has ever made a launcher to my liking, not even the Google Now Launcher. I'm a customization junkie (hell, I've even put Rainmeter on every computer I have) so the first thing I did once I got the G4 was install Nova Prime (free version here). On that home screen, I set it up so that if you tap the phone icon, it opens a dialer. If you swipe up on the icon, however, it opens a folder with a bunch of direct dial shortcuts that works even better and faster than any speed dial app or feature on the market. Sooooo many customization options for you to tinker with.

As for the icons, I'm currently using the Illus Icon Pack. Nova can automatically replace almost all of the icons on your homescreen and app drawer if you want it to. You can also individually select apps and shortcuts to have icons of your choosing, which is how I got my home screen to the heavily desaturated blue/gray theme I wanted.

I use Nova Launcher combined with the Pop and Flight icon packs. The geometrical icon opens up my app drawer which is configured to be showing just my phones background and the icons. I hide the info bar on top and if I swipe down it brings it back up. Then gestures help open my messaging (one swipe up) and phone (two finger swipe down) apps. You can configure all of that with the Nova Launcher. It really adds a lot of customization.

Sure.
