Looks and feels pretty slick. It couldn't locate my city for the time zone/wx tho :/ It will urk the ish out of me if it said New York up above the time all day. I don't like the swipe left/right action on the app drawer either. I'm sure they can/will give more options on an update. Overall seems like a great launcher tho Nice find and thanks for the heads up!!

I couldn't get the weather to work either. Although I found out how to find your region.
Go to : http://www.weather.com/
Type in the city and state which you reside in.
Next press find weather.
In the address bar you should see something like this
http://www.weather.com/weather/today/Los+Angeles+CA+USCA0638
The last part USCA0638 I believe is the region code.
Hope that helps!
Thank you I'll give it a shot!

GOOD ONE !!!!!
THANKS casual864 RIGHT ON THE MONEY BOSS !
This is very nice !!!!
Thanks for the find boss !
works on motorola xoom
It also works on xoom !
Still prefer the zippyness of adw-ex, but this definatly has some amazing eye candy...ill be keeping my eye on this one.
As with many third party launchers.. would be nice if it would accommodate adjusted dpi settings
Looks pretty cool otherwise
Very pretty!
this is a sweet launcher, kinda buggy/slow now. i noticed quite a bit of lag swiping to different screens, but this will only get better in time and as the dev's keep updating. I'm a sense guy, but i'm keeping my eye on this one.
Yeah, very pretty, and free is the best price anyone could ask for. The added widgets are a nice bonus!
But it's slow to swipe, which is really annoying, and running along side Widgetlocker, it's slow to reload the homescreens.
Also, buggy, I've lost half a page of widgets more than once, which is a little odd that it would keep some but remove others. still playing with it, more options would be nice, coming from LauncherPro with lots of customizable options to this is a little ...naked feeling, lol.
I think we have a winner. Its just like SPB Shell 3d but its free! Eyecandy for users who are design heavy like myself. Good job locating this OP! Imma have fun with this.
If only I knew how to modify framework ........ tisk ...

Your welcome guys! Just leave a feedback on the android market and email the dev. I'm sure they will incorporate new ideas and fix buggy issues.

Sure thing! I know its early in the game but I do have to admit it's buggy but that'll get ironed out. I can live with that becuz its so flashy! Imma stay with this bad boy as my daily launcher due to the fact that my fiance had to pick her face off of the ground! And she has never done that and she uses my phone regularly!

What is your absolute favorite application/game? The one you just cannot live without. I am excepting to see a lot of mainstream apps being called out, so to go along with that question, what is your favorite non mainstream app/game?
My fave mainstream app would have to be Facebook (lots of friends from england)
My fave non mainstream app would have to be SwingGame
I am hoping that we will all be able to find some apps that we have never heard of before through this thread.
Netflix and before that came I would say YouTube app impressed me.

Reddita. I don't think I've ever wasted more time in my life than the period of AR (after reddita).
gReader. Looks, feels and works great
Pulse. Never have I wasted so much time during work cause of this app. Best RSS reader!

I agree. Pulse is really quite amazing. The UI is beautiful
Pulse. Great app.
I would have to agree with Pulse as well. Was recently introduced to this app and absolutely love it.
+ on pulse. Save sooo much time with it.
Multipicture live wallpaper.
1- because I was going out of my mind when honeycomb cropped my pics
2- runs great with adw ex
Feedly :
Love it the away it allows me the add the feeds, read the same feeds on my phone and on the tablet , and also on my desktop (Firefox addon).
Beautiful interface on both android and desktop. Another nice feature is the suggestions of other feeds that I would like. Stopped using pulse once I found Feedly
The browser is my fav. Its the one app I couldn't live without.

I'm greedy, I have two ~ Evernote & Dropbox
Both serve me exceptionally well on all my devices; allowing data to be shared simple and easy.
Evernote: Totally useful - not a timewaster - your information available transparently on every device you own, simply awesome.
It used to be Pulse, until I found News360.
Honestly though, the browser gets 99% of the usage on my tablet. I use the default browser cause I;m a chrome user on PC and having synced bookmarks is a necessity. Opera Mobile would be great if I could add more than 9 speed dial buttons
If I may ask my own question about "Your absolute favorite app"
What is your favorite sports app?
I'm trying to find a good one for tablet. All the amazing sports apps, Score Mobile, Fox etc suck for the tablet... they wont even go into landscape mode!
For those who use Pulse, try out Taptu, its very similar but somehow cleaner and faster in my opinion. (news 360 is awesome though.)
But my favorite app is... either Dropbox or Youtube
I love Pulse.
Can't help but think that if you could hide the window which slides out from the left when you click a story by sliding it back, instead of hitting the back button it would be so much better.
Going to d/l Taptu & check it out as well. Cheers for the suggestion

For all of the folks that like Pulse - Check out News Republic - it's a really nice (and free) news app (I like it better than Pulse)!

Besides the browser and Facebook (Friendcaster for tablets) the app I keep coming back and spending lots of time in is Age of Zombies. The Survival mode is addicting. It's the only game I've found on the Android Market that I keep coming back to play. Everything else I get bored of after 5-10 minutes.
Still can't replace console gaming though.
Have to agree with Pulse. Its just so clean and epic...and epic.
Are there any similar widgets available on the Android Market similar to the HTC Photo Album Widget(s)? (Specifically the photo grid one and/or the swipe up/down one.)
The constant HTC "loading" after pressing home from any other app is ridiculously frustrating and these widgets are the only thing preventing me from switching to another launcher. I haven't been able to find a suitable replacement widget, but perhaps my search skills aren't up to par.
Anyone know of any widgets with similar functionality? (Basically any widget that isn't fixed to just one photo at a time, with some sort of interactivity allowing you to flip through photos right from the widget.)
Anyone?
Have you tried multiple slideshow?

Quickpic has a widget?
I liked that widget too. That tile grid is fly, but it was certainly not worth me keeping Sense. I switched to Launcher Pro. I looked for some on the market, but I did not see anything remotely similar to that widget.

no. I think he's just stating that he uses it instead of the gallery app.

Aye. I use it all the time. I love it! It looks great and very slick.
Plus, it's great for theft deterrent. I misplaced my phone in a store and one of the employees was able to easily return it to me since my pictures were all over the home screen.
I tried the Multipic Slideshow Widget, but wow, it just does not compare.
I wonder why slideshow widgets are so few and far between? Seems like an easy place to clean up since there are no worthwhile competitors.
I understand completely

I feel you on the theft. That is why my lockscreen is the one where you can use a photo album as the source. ALL my family and friends come in and out of focus when the phone needs to be unlocked. You can steal my phone, but you can't steal my family (though i wish some members could be "borrowed" for an extended period of time. lol).
As for the widget, I am not sure if it is a htc proprietary thing. I just know I would use it in launcher pro. Again, this is the ONLY widget I like from Sense but I am not going to use Sense just for this app. I will keep looking for alternatives and post back if I find something.
Hi guys, I have searched around, but I have not found any conclusive answers, so I would appreciate your suggestions.
I am simply looking for a calendar widget that would essentially rest on Google Calendar BUT display things better or "more properly" that Google Calendar's own homescreen widgets...
So far I have found "Simple Calendar Widget" as an option but do people have any other recommendations? And just to re-iterate, I want something that is light does not take ram/use a lot of battery, is stable...and clean/not overly complicated to display my events from google calendar,
thank you and cheers.
I use Pure grid calendar. It can be complicated to set up but simple and theme able once set up.
Though I think its paid.,
Please dont ask questions in general
The one I use is simply called Calendar Widget. It's nice because it combines both a monthly view and an agenda view, and I really like the way it looks on my home screen.

+1 for Pure Grid Calendar, I have been using this widget for years and never had a problem! There's also many skins to choose from so you can get the look you want
My vote is for Jorte

+1 for Pure Grid
It costs a few bucks, but is well worth it. Updated regularly and very customizable once you learn the ropes.
I use this agenda widget for all my jobs booked in - very useful for me

Looks like this (it is themeable to a degree too)

You dont have problems with jorte? I bought pure grid because jorte kept disappearing and I had to keep setting it up.
Long time ago. I suppose they fixed that

I'm using Simple Calendar Widget a few years now. It's a nice (scrollable) calendar widget with a lot of customization possibilities.

Personally never had a problem with Jorte, maybe I'm just lucky.
Synced FB birthdays, F1 race calendar and Arsenal fixtures all to my Google calendar, everything displays just fine. massive range or widgets (I prefer an entire homescreen to display a month calendar)
On the rare occasion I setup a manual calendar appointment, sync and reminders work ok too.
(For anybody who may have followed the play store link, just noticed the childish screenshots they use. Hope that doesn't put people off! The built in theme engine is extremely versatile, perfectly capable of looking professional as well...)
Try UpNext, used it for some days now and I like it very much.

One of the nicest looking I've seen so far....
Event Flow Calendar Widget
Thank you everyone, I will try these and let you guys know which one I personally like best. Again I am looking for something that is not so much a full fledged calendar, like Jorte is, but a widget like app that links to giggle calendar itself. And I also did read about Jorte having problems.
I really wish that PureGrid had a free trial as well. And from reviews it seems that simple calendar widget had some bugs, at least in nexus 5, but I will try all these and post results. Thanks everyone.

Thank you everyone for their input, I just wanted to say that I chose "Event Flow Widget", because it is the most beauitful I think in general and goes well the most with the Nexus 5/Kitkat theme. Of course there is a catch to their app: If you want to customize it more you have to pay $.99.
As for PureGrid Calendar - I never got to try it because it is not free, nor is there a free demo one, so it must be great given the positive feedback it has, but I can't say anything about as I was unable to try it.
Calender Widget: Month+Agenda, was very good, and the good thing is that it displays your agenda and calendar in one widget, something I do not necessarily need, but for those who do it is an excellent choice. However, I Believe that this app is also not free and I am not sure how much it costs after its 7-day trial.
Jorte: I tried Jorte and have no major complaints other than that they can update it a bit to match with the times, it should have resizable widgets. In any case I did not need a full-fledged calendar, I just needed a calendar widget, so Jorte was not really for my needs.
Calendar Widget by Milan Sillik was also impressive and nice, again, I chose Event Flow because it just looks more slick, but I believe Calendar Widget may have more options packed in both for calendar purposes and widget customization, so its a must-try. However, again, if you want to unlock all its options such as transparency settings you have to buy the Pro.
Simple Calendar Widget was ok...but I did not like it as much as the Event Flow Widget or the Calendar Widget by Milan Sillik.
UpNext Alpha: I did not try it due to a malware comment on the reviews....so...got nothing to say on this.
So yes overall winner for me is Event Flow Widget, and I also really liked Calendar Widget by Milan Sillik.
Thank you everyone
persianrisk: thanks for compliment of my app
My favorite calendar widget is of course mine - Calendar Agenda Widget - it's free, simple, beautiful and has plenty of customization options (some of them are paid). On of it's most useful features is custom reminder functionality - you can set alarm on any event, and it will ring like phone call or alarm clock at morning I think it's pretty unique on whole market.
Another good widget is my competitor Event flow CW I must admit that it looks good - maybe it's because it looks quite similar to mine widget, (looks like author was inspired by mine app - however this is my personal opinion which can be far away from true).
Hi everybody!
I saw an app on galaxy apps that lets the clock always on!
However it's a very awful clock and I was wondering if someone can create an app that allows us to see clock all the time and not only while moving our wrist!
(better if black-based because of battery maybe like moto360 clockface)
Thank u if you're considering my idea!
Perhaps default in Gear 2 UI soon?

I noticed that Gear S have always on (like Android Wear) integrated in the settings options so if Samsungs will update the Gear 2 (or the hole Gear line) with the same UI changes we will got this feature by default (and perhaps there will be some more nice clockfaces developed for both dimmed and active mode).
