Google actually has a
few other themes built-in. You just need
to uncover them with this trick.
You'll need a custom launcher that can
access Android Activities for this to
work, like Apex or Nova—which we
highly recommend downloading
anyway , since they're awesome. Once
you've got one installed, just follow these
steps:
1# Long-press on the home screen and
head to Shortcuts > Activities from
the menu that pops up.
2# Choose "Google Keyboard" (or
"Android Keyboard (AOSP)"
depending on your device and
Android version), and head to
"Android Keyboard Debug
Settings." This will create a
shortcut on your home screen.
3# Tap that new shortcut and you'll
get some advanced settings for
your stock keyboard. Choose
"Keyboard Theme" to pick a new
theme for your keybaord.
You can choose from Basic (which is the
pre-Gingerbread theme), Stone,
Gingerbread, and IceCreamSandwich
(the default on ICS and higher), with a
few variations. Pick which one you like,
and enjoy!

Not very much different from 4.17.

thanks, i've activate mine. it's look beautiful.

Thanks! Felt it is slow.. maybe need some tweaks to make it smoother and fast

Scrollable widgets are painfully slow.

Same as 4 version

Activated fine, but side dock doesn't work. It tries to get me to download Prime (which, remember, I already have because of this), and I can't. Bug? I think so.
EDIT: And there's still ads.

I activated it but I have a question. if I back up with titanium and I delete it, can I install again as prime version ? Because I am using another launcher now.

Thanks.Which activity is for the app drawer? I'm trying to set my navigation functions and can't seem to find it

Thanks a lot, I' have activate mine

I don't suppose this update added support for overlapping widgets....?

Side-loaded input (Chinese) on android wear

This is kind of leisure review. I don't know how many people will be interested in Chinese input ~
Ok. Why Chinese?
1. I tried to side-load google keyboard, but failed
2. Chinese inputs (also Korean, Japanese etc) are quite different from the transitional English input system though they(we) also use traditional qwerty keyboard for typing.
As a Chinese living aboard, I have to switch between two type of keyboard in my phone which is painful. So far not even one input method satisfied me with both good balanced in 2 languages (phone input).
3. China has been long staying in an non-google environment, therefore their(our) app is specially-deigned for Chinese which you may think is strange or interesting.
Chinese input:
There are varieties of inputs in China (for typing chinese and english). As some of Chinese philosophy, you may find their(our) inputs are integrated with quite a lot of functions (just imagine wehcat vs whatsapp). Some standard features are: cloud dictionary, skin store (can upload/download keyboard skins), changeable keyboard hight, copy/paste/select + arrow functions, night mode (a inbuilt darker skin), voice/handwriting/pinyin/etc, emoij, sound/vibration font&size customization......................also others like floating mode, one-hand mode, swiping..........
I have chosen 3 apps, all latest version: Baidu IME (8.18M), Baidu input (7.26M), Sougou input (19.3M)
Note there is not much difference between IME and input, the 2nd is a branch from 1st one as specifically designed for older people (larger keyboad, easier menu and less wrong typo). Sougou is the currently the one with most population and famous of it's accuracy.
I have slightly change a little setting for watch but most remain default...e.g. there might be a skin with larger board or different key layout...
don't have much time to format my writings, just leave pictures below... and a hurry video.
One more thing, if I was not wrong, the internet connection (online voice, dic download) is not usable.

Video is somehow blocked..... no other way but: youtube.com/watch?v=sMdxK28C55Q&feature=youtu.be
Not ready to give any comments to the pictures and video, just not too bad if only for typing simple words.
But it will definitely disappoint (Minuum Keyboard?) you a lot if you expect too much... are you happy with that? or if you are waiting for a revolutionary watch keyboard?

Hi I'am Chinese too.And I want to ask that how you can run Baidu IME in your android wear.I use the moto360GN2.I have already installed the apk on my watch.But I can not open it on my watch.Neither can 去勾选and去选择.I am so gtateful if can give me some information about it.Thanks!

I really wanted to check it out, but it just crashes on my box. Won't open even once. I have noticed that a lot of launchers do this, though.

Displaying apps on one raw
Hi,
Is there any option to display the apps of the selected section on only one row (in stead of spreading them on all the screen)?
This could be useful, especially on TV, when a movie or an image is already on the screen. This way, we don't hide all the screen with the app shortcuts.
Of course, this supposes that it is possible to show the launcher over an already running image (or movie) like the android tv launcher does when we hit the home button.

I tried your ugoos launcer and its good. I however settled with tv2 launcher. Reason being that tv2 launcher let me save the settings and then copy those settings to another box and import everything in few clicks. I don't have to do everything manually again and again. BUT Ugoos is still my 2nd backup option. Can become number 1 option if it has the import settings option.
I have some other ideas also..

please add recent app option
thank you!

why does there have to be a white background behind the icons ?? Background for icons would look much better being transparent. Also the launcher is supposed to automatically put apps in different categories but it does not do this at all. For example I have the chrome browser app but launcher does not put it in the internet category etc etc. For these reasons I will not be using it at all. Thanks

I just use Microsoft launcher. Seems to work fine

Why Gboard sucks

I recently upgraded to a new Moto x4 phone to replace my beloved HTC One M8. I have some problems and challenges getting it set up but I'm fairly happy. One exception is the default keyboard that came with my fi Android One phone (v8.1) and that's Gboard. Perhaps I am spoiled by the lovely HTC Sense keyboard I've become accustomed to but for me there are some important features which are missing from Gboard.
Both boards. HTC Sense (left) and Gboard (right)

1. It's the mic or the strip. Notice above that the microphone on Gboard is attached to the suggestions strip so if you hide the strip you have no microphone. Personally I can't stand the suggestion strip and never use it on my old phone but I use voice to text constantly. I shouldn't have to chose.
2. There are no arrow keys on Gboard. This one is extremely frustrating because now I have to tap the screen 15 times to get the cursor where I want it. Repeat that action about 50 times a day and the frustration level is high. With arrow keys I know exactly how to move the cursor to the proper place so I don't have to stare at the phone while I engage in more target practice. HTC Sense does it right:
3. You cannot add words to the custom dictionary from Gboard. This one just boggles my mind. On all keyboards I've ever used if you tap a word that's not already in the dictionary you are prompted to add it to the dictionary. With Gboard you have to go to Settings>System>Languages & Input>Virtual Keyboard>Gboard>Dictionary>Personal Dictionary>English if you want to add words. Yes 8 key presses to get there... hope you still remember the word(s) you wanted to add. This is how it's supposed to work shown in context and from the suggestion bar:
4. No input settings button on Gboard. Not only does Gboard force you to go 8 layers deep into the settings to add words... they don't even give you a button on the keyboard to get you started. Once again the HTC Sense keyboard who's settings button takes you straight to input settings:
5. No tap to correct words/phrases on voice to text. On the HTC Sense if you use voice to text and see you've made a mistake you just tap the word and it brings up alternative words AND phrases to help you make a quick correction. On Gboard... you are tapping to place the cursor (lame!) and correcting it all manually. Examples from the HTC Sense:
Now in this case I would love to be wrong. If anyone knows a way to get these functions working (or correct me for being blind) please let me know. Currently I just have to put with a drastic reduction in functionality when I'm texting. I'm sure I'll get over it.
