Hey guys, ive made myself some custom icons as i wasn't really happy with what was out there. Ive set them up with Desktop Visualizer so they are bigger.
If anyone else is interested id be happy to upload them and share them to the community.
im also in the process of making a hancent theme to match, and the app market
If anyone does end up wanting them and you need a icon i'll make it for you, only if you request it like this
Application name
[image/link to icon]
Colour you would like (if other colours end up being made)
So i guess this is my contribution to the community lol
My home screen setup with them
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Actual size of icons in .psd, so you can have them pretty big on the homescreen if you want.
INSTRUCTIONS
You'll need
- Home Screen replacement adwEX / Launcher Pro ect... ( I use adwEX so ive only tested on that)
- Home screen setup to 10x10
- Desktop Visualizer + config tool (both free in market)
- Folder Organizer (optional)
First setup your home screen to 10x10 and install DVR
Copy all the .pngs to the dvr folder on your sd card
Long Press the home screen and create a dvr config widget, place it in the top left corner and tap on it, set it to 10x10, exit out. Move it to the bottom right tap on it. It will confirm itself. You can delete that widget off the home screen now.
Long Press the home screen and create a DVR widget 2x1 for the size on my home screen or resize the widget 4x2 to have it double the size, or 8x4 for a HUGE one.
Tap on the widget to set it up, under "icon" select image and navigate to the dvr folder and image of choice.
Under action you can choose what you want the widget todo, ie; Launcher an app.
Leave the label blank, and touch effect to whatever colour you like. (im using blue)
When you are done, tap OK and your new icon/widget will be set up.
If you have folder organizer you can setup the app draw icon to link to the app folder via "other/folder organizer link/applications" in the DVR action menu. ( its how i have it setup)

No, as its considered as warez :/, but im sure if you google youll be able to find it.
I'd love to get this for my Tab (XXJID), but whenever I install a launcher (Launcher pro or ADWex) my tab reboots after a few minutes and is stuck in a boot loop.
Only way to fix this is removing the launcher in safe mode.
Do you have any idea how i could get this to work?
Does anyone know the actual pixel sizes for all the different sizes for desktop visualizer widgets on the tab?

Can't seem to recreate your theme
I've done the DVR config, set ADW EX to 10x10 then set the Widgets up to 2x1 but the icons are too big to fit 5 in a column. Any ideas where I've gone wrong?
Edit: fixed this by enabling 'auto stretch wifgets' in ADW settings
Also, where do we need to put fonts for Minimalist Widgets to be able to use it?

Well so far I've tried ADWLauncher Ex, ADW.Launcher, Launcher Pro and GO Launcher EX.
So far GO Launcher EX is the only one that at least works for almost a minute, before the Tab reboots and is stuck (started through the finished installation notification).
Pressing the home button does nothing except vibrating sometimes.

OK guys, if you havent heard of the New LG Optimus phones Series that just came out in korea and Might be here soon in the USA,
found some apks & other things from the original "LG Optimus Z phone" first phone
to launch from the Optimus Series
looks like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
so i play around with the apks, ( launcher and widgets ) and it work perfectly
on the evo (not sure if it works for other phones )with no editing necessary,
THE GOODS
-this launcher makes the phone look a little like the HTC sense cuz of the bottom dock , lets you drag any icons from your menu to the dock.
and a Samsung Galaxy Launcher feel because of the dots on top for amount of screens you have.
-It has a new way of controlling your apps in your menu which i havent seen in many other android phones out ( maybe its just me ), which lets you organize your application on your menu as "categories" or "group" , which its really cool and you can drag and put it anywhere in the menu you want.
THE BAD
- Only lets you have 5 to 7 screens only, and it cant let you have less than 5 screens (which sucks)
Some Other Goodies That Work
-World Clock widget
-Analog Clock widgets ( 8 of them )
-Calendar Widget
-Memo Widget
- Home Selector App
-LG Wallpapers
THINGS THAT NEED TO BE FIX
-Launcher works normal and you can play around with it and no problem but one bug that i wish someone (DEV) to fix is that whenever you open a application and you try to go back by pressing the home bottom on your evo it "Force closes", THE SAME WHEN YOU Launch the "Home selector app" and you pick "LG as your Launcher" Sometimes it "force closes", from there everything else works perfectly and if someone could fix this problem than i might make this my default launcher
- and a way to customize the icons as shortcuts or other way, & drag it to the dock ( not sure if theres other ways ).
but for now ENJOYYY IT AND PLAY AROUND WIT IT AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK????
*****Make sure you download the LG HOME & HOME SELECTOR apk first than download the widgets to make it work******
do you have a bookmark widget?
awesome! hopefully one day HTC lets you use their widgets with any launcher
thanks for this. good eye. ill be working with it.
I might be missing something but did you not include the clocks?
I might ne missing something too... where is the download link
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
This is a very handsome launcher, on par with Sense, totally destroys Motoblur and Touchwiz
Those clocks are part of the Widgets. Which is the zip file And yes all the links to download are there in the post.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Nice find!! But I too cant find the analog clock widgets, only the world clock widget.
Some things Ive noticed:
1. These widgets work with other launchers which is nice!
2. In the world clock app, I cant seem to delete Seoul as a city.
3. Default Categories in the laucher can only be renamed, not deleted.
4. The notes widget only lets you have 1 note.
p.s. Im not complaining at all! These are very nice additions to android. Hopefully there are some more widgets coming from LG!!
Edit: Ive noitced that in the screen shots you provided, the world clock widget has a settings button. Mine doesnt, is that where the option to load the analog clocks is?
How do I actually install this launcher?? I want to know!!!
Hm, that actually looks really cool. If a Dev could fix the force close problem I REALLY might use this as my default launcher...

i was able to install the widgets no problem. but the other files show as .bin something... the widgets are really cool but i really do like the launcher.
I don't know if this was said but the bottom tab is like the vibrant dock/tab you need to have the app draw open and drag the icons down to the dock from there.
This is seriously great.
I like 3 screens but this may replace ADW :gasp:
Good find!
Lots of FCs when hitting home from another app.
To install just rename to an apk extension.
Seriously lol how do I get to the analog clocks I've installed and downloaded everything and I can't find them
MY MISTAKE, yea i did forget to put the analog clock widgets sorry , its been updated so download the widget zip pack and its the first apk name as "analog clock apk" .
gonna have to admit, I installed this on my install of cm nightly. I'm really getting into it.
I'd love to see some interest in figuring out how to fix the force closes though. I've looked at my logcat and haven't really come up with thing anything (I'm novice at best though 8P)
Thanks to the OP for the find!
Thanks for the downloads, I just read a review of the device and was hoping someone else was interested in the launcher. Can't wait to use it on my Captivate.
Hopefully it to get noticed by someone who can perfect it to get rid of any FC's.

*FONT ON THE LAUNCHER IS A CUSTOM FONT , (NOT INCLUDED), (to have this font u need root access , download link below )
*new home launcher for the evo*
-5 to 7 screens available only-
-app drawer has categories option, organize your apps the way you feel-
(games, media, etc)
-Home launcher selector app (switch between home launcher very easy)
-Sense preview screens
To start off i want people to know that this is a "LG Home launcher", this launcher will be seen on the new upcoming LG optimus Phones very soon,
and i was able to port it to the htc evo and it seem to work for other phones also
I have post it the original thread a while back on September,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769138
And now updated and couple of fixes have been done to have a stable launcher that people can choice to download and give a try.
want to give many thanks to this guy to actually fix some mini couple bugs and force closes that was making this launcher annoying (lol),
-bedwa
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=810221
(hes actually been working on it, and i will too)
BUGS ( WILL BE FIX SOON )
-The Uninstaller on the app drawers doesnt work yet, it force closes.
-When u open the launcher in the screens you will see "Problem loading widgets",
U can delete them and there should be no problem using the widgets after that,
-LG Calander Widget dont sync with events, but widget does load and work on homescreen, (will see if theres a fix soon)
OTHER GOODIES / WIDGETS
-Analog Clock widgets ( 8 of them )
-Calendar Widget
(WIDGET DOESNT SYNC WITH THE EVENT BUILT APP SO BE PATIENT)
-Memo Widget
Custom Font ROOT USERS ONLY
http://www.4shared.com/file/Ue07CSnb/FontPack-MarkerFelt.html
(thanks to fachadick for this awesome font)
instructions
1) Download the Home selector apk first so you wont have a force close when you go the "Home settings"
and select "Home selector" On your homescreen.
2) download LG EVO Launcher / Widgets to the SD card and download it as you would any other app with "ASTRO , file manager ETC".
3) (ROOT USERS ONLY) Custom font, just flash in recovery as a normal flashable zip
LG LAUNCHER IN THE MARKET
i been scrolling in the android market and came across this application which looks like the port of the old launcher i did a while back,
(this version has bugs on them and doesnt work very well)
i want to first say that it took me a time to make this launcher to work, LG is the owner of this launcher, but still give credit to those who work and put time on this, damn.
ENJOY
Looks sick. Can u post a download link?

I like it however the calendar widget does not seem to work. Is it suppose to pull the events from the sense calendar or go to it when you click a date? As of right now when I click on a date in the calendar widget it does nothing. How did you get the sense clock to work, or is it something diff (forgot the name of the other one lol).

just like touchwiz for samsung,
open the app drawer and click on "Menu" of ur phone and just click organize and drag it to the dock. if this is what you mean,
moving around the icons and labels you have to open the app drawer and just click "menu" theres alot of options there.

Here's a quick write up on how it was achieved.
Transitioning Wallpaper was made using this:
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture
I created a folder for each "hub" containing appropriate wallpapers (ex. music, games, home etc.) and used the app to point individual screens to individual folders. I've changed the settings to rotate the wallpapers every 5 seconds and change upon double tap.
The "quick view" section on my "Home Hub" was achieved using minimalistic text and just expanded the dark background, overlapping the "weather" widget (beautiful widget>weather forecast)
Widgets used were from:
Pulse
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alphonso.pulse
Music
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tbig.playerpro&feature=search_result
Despite all these running on my nook, everything else is smooth and no noticeable impact on battery life (OC to 1.1 ghz).Anything else i missed please let me know.
Just saw the video. And wow. This is just brilliant. Reminds me of the LauncherPro wallpaper tab screens
Could you share some more info about the launcher and layout etc?
Sent from inside a whale.
sure. I'm using ADW EX with a 10x10 grid. I turned off all transitions as they seem to lag the screen a tiny bit. Those black bars were created using minimalistic text background and stretched to overlap the icons/widget.
So it could (in theory) work with normal ADW, but mod the backup file for 10x10
Using ADW EX for my honeycomb layout, and this would be a nice change. Ill try it out asap and post screens
And is it possibly for you to post your wallpapers you used? Just to get the size right and have a base to work from
Sent from inside a whale.
sure it can. however ive heard it does cause problems.
check this thread out for more info and i'll upload some walls later when i get the time

That looks absolutely brilliant...

What launcher are you using? Maybe it doesn't allow you to overlap over other widgets

VTLauncher its based off of ADW.

Hi All Hubs Fans,
I'm newbie in Android, going to get galaxy tab plus in 3 day later but i still deciding shall i go for 7.0", 8.9" or 10.1" size? My country "Asia" Galaxy tab 7.0" plus came with phone call function and i prefer 7.0" instead of other because of the phone call function. But problem is did those Hubs software support 7.0" and i wonder how it look like seem the screen are smaller. I try search Google, Xda and Youtube, no single clue on it.
If anyone did apply Hubs over Galaxy Tab 7 plus, please share your screenshot and advise here.
Thanks in advance

My first atempt and "Hubs"
I really liked this concept so I decided to give it a try myself, this is what I got so far:
Also by sliding down on the dockbar you get an option to choose a screen to jump to:
As I said, this is a WIP but I'm quite happy with the outcome so far ^^

hmmm.... sslauncher? never heard of it, im gonna have to check it out. Not sure if i like the windows phone look though, but i love that clock!... lol... i will try it out and see what i can come up with.
Sorry to resurrect this thread, but why start a new one when it's talking about the exact same thing? I just finished manipulating ssLauncher to make my Play look more similar to the PSP.
I left it on different setup for the Cover Page when using Landscape vs. Portrait so that I could make sure the icons would stay in the right places. That's why I have widgets in the lower corner portrait and not in landscape.
The camera, phone, and messaging icons take you directly to those apps, but the other icons link to other launcher pages. My camera app is 360Camera, the internet icon goes to a page of internet-based apps, the music leads to a media page with graphic and audio apps, phone and messaging are stock, then there's the game page, then instead of a settings menu, the last icon is for all the other apps.
Edit: I just hid the background on my weather app, and it looks even better!
That one looks good, nice job.

This launcher is really really great for customizing your Xperia Play, but it has a very very bad point: it doesn't have notifications (or at least I don't know how to enable them...).
I recently purchased a kirf device, the JXD S601, and it has an ui somewhat similar to what you all are aiming for. You have a interface designed around game and media access that works with the shoulder pads, at least on the kirf. Ill try installing it on my play and see how it fares.

I left it on different setup for the Cover Page when using Landscape vs. Portrait so that I could make sure the icons would stay in the right places. That's why I have widgets in the lower corner portrait and not in landscape.
The camera, phone, and messaging icons take you directly to those apps, but the other icons link to other launcher pages. My camera app is 360Camera, the internet icon goes to a page of internet-based apps, the music leads to a media page with graphic and audio apps, phone and messaging are stock, then there's the game page, then instead of a settings menu, the last icon is for all the other apps.
Edit: I just hid the background on my weather app, and it looks even better!

I like it, you inspired me, I am doing a mod myself. Putting a LOT of work into it because I LOVE MY PSP and I stopped using it because of my Play, now I can feel better like I have it with me again! I'll throw up some pics once I get farther. I'm maybe 25% done but I'm still getting the hang of ssLauncher. Once I'm done though, it should look almost identical to my PSP!
EDIT: I uploaded the Original PSP Font in TTF so you can use it with this awesome launcher!
This is the direct backup of my current setup. I don't know how well it will work, as I haven't actually tried to use other people's themes. I'm going to try the PSP font from the post above this one. This backup doesn't have that font, it has a Sony Sketch font found in Rom Toolbox.

Could you share the icons (phone, message, etc.) please?
I'm starting this thread so that everyone can showoff their creativity in making Awesome Homescreens.
I myself put a lot of effort in customizing my Homescreens.
While posting your homescreens, please be specific on what you used to achieve it (eg. Name of widget or wallpaper).
So ill start with 2 homescreens which even got FEATURED on lifehacker.com
1. The Evil Android Homescreen.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Lifehacker link.
I customized my homescreen to make it look simple, neat and smart, and it goes well with the Gingerbread green color.
I'm using the stock Gingerbread OS on my Samsung Galaxy SL with GO Launcher Ex as the launcher.
I am not using many widgets on my screen as I really like the wallpaper.
The Evil Android under the torn layer.
I've mainly kept all the Internet apps on the center screen. I use Minimalistic Text for the date.
You can tap the date to open any calendar app.
I've not kept any clock widget as the time is always there in the notification bar.
The black circle in the center is the Circle Launcher for more Internet apps which I don't use often but should be accessible quickly if I do need them. I also use Switch Pro for the Data connection and Bluetooth widget.
On the left screen, I again use Minimalistic Text for the battery. You can tap the widget to open the Battery Usage screen. I've kept this screen for things I don't do many times in a day (eg. Keep an alarm, Calculate things, or update or download a new app) but at the same time they shouldn't be far when I need them.
The right screen screen is for other utilities which I use regularly. I use Phantom Music Control for the music widget, which controls PowerAmp.
Though PowerAmp has its own widgets, I couldn't make those fit properly in the area I wanted and also there are no skins available for those widgets. So I'm using the Phantom Music Control widget as it gives options for customization including skins.
The icons are not included with any GO Launcher theme. I found some of them on the internet and others I've photoshopped. I made the wallpaper merging the Evil Android wallpaper which I found on Lifehacker and another from DeviantArt.

The second Homescreen.
2. The Aged Paper Homescreen.
Lifehacker link.
What I've done here is that I used this wallpaper, and cropped it in multiples of my screen resolution (480x800). That is, since I'm using three screens I cropped it in the resolution 1440x800.
I'm using GO Launcher EX launcher which uses a grid based home screen layout, so I created a grid in Photoshop to map the text icons. Those text icons are not actually icons.
I used the text tool in Photoshop to create them using various handwriting fonts which I found on the internet. Those texts are on the wallpaper itself.
The reason behind this was it gave me freedom to orient the text in any way i wanted and could use more space on the home screen. If I had made an icon file of the text and then had replaced it on the screen then that would had confined the text in the grid box which sometimes results in cropping of the icon depending on available space.
I used MultiPicture Live Wallpaper to set each screen's wallpaper. This allowed me to use the whole image as the wallpaper. After setting each screen's wallpaper I used a "blank" icon to replace each home screen icon.
When it comes to widgets: On the home screen and the left screen I've used Minimalistic Text with one of the fonts. The Data connection and Bluetooth toggle is Switch Prowidgets. Lastly, PowerAmp is on the Right screen.
