Android L on this phone? Maybe as a custom rom I could see it happening, because "officially" we're still stuck on 4.2.2 Jellybean, so if we haven't even made it to 4.3 Jellybean or 4.4 Kit Kat ... :silly:

I don't know.. I really like this flat and clean and kinda bright look of L . Personally, I really love what I've seen so far of the Material Design UI. Much better than Holo, imo, which I feel has become old-looking since quite some time now.

I agree. The new design looks cleaner (maybe only a little more than holo) but its definitely feels more energetic! Got to give it to Google for redesigning the navbar buttons as well - it's a bold move considering that the new buttons are not as intuitive as the old ones, but I guess people have gotten used to the three ever-present buttons enough to change their look now. I also like that Google has finally included status bar and navbar coloring (as opposed to the transparent effect that could be employed in KitKat, which is also good depending on the app). On the same lines, Google is also providing the developers with a tool to extract prominent colors out of images to use them in corresponding layout etc. Overall, this is looks like a heavy overhaul and a (positive) shift in Android (also referring to One, TV, Wear, Auto, and other new things introduced today/yesterday).

Those redesigned navbar buttons are probably the only UI change I feel on the fence about. I'm still not sure if I like them or not.
I agree that its a bold move redesigning them so radically and I appreciate this change, which shouldn't be a dealbreaker for most since, as you said, people are probably already used to the positions by now.
But I feel like they kind of don't fit with the new design as much as the other elements. Like they are too bold (or heavy? ) as compared to the flat design. Maybe I would've been on board more readily if they were a bit more.. timid, maybe?
And yes, this was a big event with lots major anouncements. Looks like Google is finally putting a lot more focus on integration and cohesiveness across multiple platforms and devices :good:

Probably in October/November. That has been their usual cycle for new Android devices/releases.

@Joery360 but maybe it will be possible to port the ROM for our L . As you said its a system image of Nexus 5 and 7 , can't devs merge the essentials and make it run on the Xperia L? Because many people will wanna get their hands on the L with L before this Fall.

Agreed Flat look is ugly, First we got tormented by flat look in windows now Android. I really like glossy stuff. Why can't they evolve and move to transparency instead of flat and ugly.

It would be possible, after some development, to do so, but we would have to sacrifice a lot of performance and usability features to do so. At this point the team is interested in pushing for the future instead of working on 2.xx compatibility.
Is there some reason you can't get onto 4.0.2++?

Thank you so much for the positive feedback. If you are interested, we are starting a new facebook community and reddit sub-reddit to connect with our international users, get feedback and keep everyone engaged. Would be great to see you from time to time there.
Facebook/Reddit "Atom Launcher" search should get you there.. I will update with real links once I have more then 10 posts here.

I can, but there is no official ICS or above for Atrix 4G.
There are builds of ICS and JB but the performance is not near as good as GB. Problems with camera and many graphical issues make it not worth using.
This launcher looks nice. Maybe if the team gets time they could make a seperate version of the it for 2.3.
Great launcher, I love it.
By cons it is you set out to do translations (French would be great)?

Glad to see an official thread here, I'm still using Atom as my launcher and it's been great. I am looking forward to new features and updates.
There is slight lag while going in the app drawer. The recreation of icons are the cause of it so I suggest you use cache there..

Re: [OFFICIAL][APP 4.0.2++]Atom Launcher - 1.4.4 March 21
Been running this for quite some time now. Absolutely love it but the one thing I do find frustrating is the inability to change the all apps icon to whatever I want like I can with all other icons on the home screen. :/
Sent from my XT907 using xda premium
Very Nice
This is a great launcher. No lag at all, and the themes are nice.
A few things that I would like to see:
- The ability to hide the app dock. I like to keep my screen free of icons.
- Separate swipe up and swipe down gestures
- The ability to open the app drawer with a gesture
- The ability to expand notifications with a gesture
If this launcher could do those things, it would be perfect in my opinion. I'll be keeping it on my phone for now. Looking forward to see how this develops. If you put out a pro key with added features, I would gladly buy it .

The main purpose from this thread is SHARING, so please give more information about this:
1_ Launcher
2_ Theme
3_ Wallpaper (download link if possible)
4_ Icon pack? (if you are using this)
5_ ...
and here is mine
_ stock launcher
_ Wallpaper from HTC ONE, you can have it here on my drive
_ Icons from the theme STARK, i'm using only the icons from this themethere's an app for that it's called "Unicon" this needs root and with it you can apply any icons you like from a theme that's only for nova/apex/go/next launcher....
the main reason i did this is because XPosed Framework changes the icons to a strange theme somehow io couldn't get rid of it even with applying other Emotion UI themes.

There are few things I want to change and that is:
- removing the percent for the batt in the statusbar
- Lockscreen with widgets, a la Android 4.2 style. Not the Huawei stock.
I read about this change, but there is not a solution yet. But, there must be a way to change this? At the background is it still Android 4.2 that's running

I'm kind of lost here. I want to buy this phone, but it looks like it doesn't even have it's own page, let alone dedicated developers making ports of roms.
I was almost dead-set on buying this phone over the Samsung Galaxy Mega, Lenovo P780 or Zopo ZP990. But I realize now that the Galaxy Mega has the most xda support out of all four devices considering it's the only one with it's own dedicated page.

Hey guys,
I want to show you my first app "Exquisite Drawer" which I have just released to Play Store.
You can get it right here:
Lite Version: Exquisite Drawer Lite
Pro Version: Exquisite Drawer Pro
You want to know which changes made it recently to the app?
Here you go. Changelog in Post #2
This app I wanna share with you is a replacement for your standard App Drawer.
Now you might think:
"What the heck? Nobody needs this since every phone has already an App Drawer"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And you are right. But then. Go into your apps and look......
Does it look good? Really?
I don't think so. And this is the reason why I created Exquisite Drawer.
What is different with this app? Why would you want to download?
That's a good question. To answer this let me show you some screenshots:
From these Images you can get a lot of information what the app is able to do but I will list the main features here:
- Change Colors of Text and Background individually (so there is no dependency on other elements)
- Enable or Disable sertain UI Elements for your liking (such as Actionbar or Titlestrip)
- Change Textsizes
- Use system or inbuilt font
Also you have the ability to display two different images within Exquisite Drawer.
One on top of the Applist and the other below.
So every time you want to launch an app you will see your favourite image.
The best thing about this is that those images do not affect your workflow since they scroll out of view.
Another exciting Feature is the inbuilt Theme-Switcher. For now there are 6 different designs which can be applied by only one click. At the end of this Post you will see them all.
What else to mention?
The lite version is a stripped down version of the app.
But you get a bunch of features over there too:
- Theme Chooser
- Change background color of Titlestrip
- Change fontsize of Titlestrip
- Hide Applicationicons
- Hide Actionbar
- Enable/disable Headerimage and/or Footerimage
- Choose a custom picture
- Choose side of Navigationdrawer
What are the pro only features?
- Use a custom Font from your sd-card
- Change background and font color of Actionbar, Applist, Navigationdrawer
- Change Textsize of Applist and Navigationdrawer
- Disable various Itemdividers
When I say you can change the color you propably thing about a list of predefined Colors which you can choose from.
But this is not the truth.
Infact you can choose any color you can imagine.
This screenshot shows the Colorpicker:
The same for Fontsizechanger which can be choosen incrementally.
So this was a quite long post. And when you reach this point I wanna thank you. Now there are only some Images to come. At first you will see the whole bunch of settings which are available and after that you will see all of the available Designs.
I hope you like it.

I will try to answer it as fast as possible.

Thank you very much
ok having to write this all again cause it failed previously and message disappeared
anyways i wasn't really expecting anything special when i came here but was curious to see what it was about. so i decided to take it for a quick test drive and i must say im pretty impressed. even considering that it was just a lite version an all lol
the theme options are pretty cool even on their own. (pro allows more color/customizing of course). i was digging the simplistic black n white look too! also like the long hold app option that allows you to go pro, launch app, show app in play store and uninstall app. nice job there!! although i was slightly curious why purple rain & black n white theme didn't have these options?
overall was working smooth, don't remember coming across any bugs which is very good!! couldn't test battery life cause only used for a short period but im pretty sure it wouldn't have affected it much!
well want to say, keep doing what your doing dev! thumbs up from me!! :good:

New Designs
Hey guys,

Great app, keep up on the designs.
Really promising I like to keep my device nice and minimal looking and this does the trick nicely. Cant use it as my default just yet as I rely on custom groups and categories to organise my millions of apps. But it looks like thats on your to do list so keep up the good work. I'll be sure to keep checking back!

The mentioned two themes are in the new Update which I has released just this moment.
Hope you like it
What a fantastic app! Have to admit I wasn't sure what to expect, but I have to say it is awesome and I've already purchased the pro version. Well worth $1.30. I would've paid twice that. Very functional and visually impressive. Can't wait to see where the development goes in the future. Great, great job!

Icon Packs
Will there be support for icon packs?

This is definitively on my To Do list. But I actually don't know when it will be available. The next thing I am working on is to improve the overall performance and loading process. When this is ready for primetime I will implement new features such as:
- custom Categories
- hiding Apps (with a special feature )
- Exporting and Importing Designs
- Iconpack support
and many other things.
Thank you for your suggestion.
Also to everybody:
If you feel that anything is missing just write me. Also when you think that some strings should be improved just say something and I will look into it.
Really great. Thanks

Is there any way to make this the default drawer from the home screen when you push the app drawer button? Would quite like to give it a try with the Google Now launcher.

Play Music is not open source, sorry
You'll have to wait till Google updates it
But how can it run on kitkat? It does not use a custom design, but built in material design of android l and minimum sdk is also "L"?
Maybe i find a way to backport material

I guess you decompiled it and changed minSdk to KitKat.
Android L-libs can't run in KitKat. And HenryMP would instant crash because it can't find the Material Design components in Framework.
It makes really no sense to backport it without a library which ports Material to previous Android versions, only some background colors are changed
Currently it only makes sense for N4/N5/N7-2 users with Android L Preview

@all if you want zipped sourcecode pm me
Okay guys, finished backport to JB and later.
Generally it looks like the version for android l, but settings, menus or something are in Holo Dark.
Download in first post
Works well on PA 4.42. Thanks for this!
Few things:
The tab when scrolling thru lists is still holo blue
When playing music and viewing the track list the list is very dark.
Icons seem a little big for play/pause, skip.
Why is it called HenryMP? Could it be Apollo L or Apollo Mod?
Ill be going back to L for this.

Okay, that are the things Jellybean/KitKat makes different than "L".
I called it different because i don't want to stress that it's Apollo. but who is it named after remains secret
LOL thats cool. I know a guy named Henry that I dont like very much. Kinda irks me lol. Is there a way to just change the name displayed in the app drawer. I tried renaming it and then it falied lol
Totally understand about the system stuff, I was just asking. Cool app, I hope u keep it updated.

If you got timeout:
All my projects are hosted on a raspberry pi at my home - so if you got timeout, then my public ip changed and it wasn't updated yet, so if it happens again just try again later.
If it's possible please download in play store so i know how much users i have and you get automatic updates.

[Q] Launcher

Hello everybody!
First I want to underline that I know that there is no any "best launcher", it is just a matter of taste.
De gustibus non est disputandum.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I am writing here, because I am tired... I am looking for a suitable launcher for me for a few months...
I have tried almost all launchers from google play and a lot from xda that are not on google play...
I should mention that my phone is now: Samsung Galaxy S i9000 and I am running currently Dirty Unicorns rom (4.4)
So... I am looking for launcher that is at the same time: stable, fast, light-weight, doesn't consume a lot of ram and is customisable...
WHAT I USED TILL NOW:
1. launcher 3 - It is great, very fast, stable etc. but it can't be customized for example: I can't hide apps in app drawer (it is a must have option for me)
2. Launcher google now - Fantastic launcher, but not light-weight and the only way to customize it is to install a special xposed module... Also I had a few problems with this google's product - for example: when launcher 3 was installed, google launcher wasn't working properly and was always asking me to change him to default (but he was )
3. APUS launcher - this one would be the best... But it has a lot of unnecessary add-ons which slows my phone down... Also I am not using defalut LCD density, but smaller one (200dpi) and with this density this launcher had a lot of problems -- cutting text, icons looked wired and were 'raged' I would say... That's why I had to resign of using it
4. Nova Launcher - good one, but not for me, I experienced bugs with widgets and it also made my phone slower (a lot of people can argue with this, but that's what I felt after using it)
5. Smart Launcher 2 - Just terrible, nothing more to say
6. Vire Launcher - A lot of customizations and the 3D transitions are great, but too heavy - slows my phone a lot
7. Inspire launcher - Problems with LCD density and almost all customizations are paid
8. Solo launcher - This one I am using now, is very stable, has a lot of customizations, the drain of battery and ram is not that big, but I have expereienced a few bugs - i.e. with transtitions in app drawer or with wallpaper, that's why I need to change it...
9. Go launcher EX - just NO
10. KK Launcher/S Launcher/Galaxy Launcher - Great, but makes my phone a lot slower
11. Swift Open - This launcher is one of the greatest, and has a lot of benefits, I love it, but the only thing is that it still is in beta stage and has some bugs and till the developers make it bug free I need sth else...
I am also saying no to those launchers:
-dodol Launcher
-Buzz Launcher
-ZERO Launcher
-EverythinMe Launcher
Well I checked more launchers, but there is no need to write more...
My question is, does anyone know a launcher suitable for me?
If yes then write here about it!
PS. I would make my own launcher, but I am beginner in programming, for now learning basics of c++, so pls don't say "Make your own launcher"

Here is another one that I'm currently checking ... but not started yet to play with:
lightning_launcher_extreme > check on the playstore "net.pierrox.lightning_launcher_extreme"
You will find a bunch of tutorials on youtube as well for an idea.
It looks like very customizable and light-weight.
My 2 cents, then. Hope it helps.

Hi, thanks for the answer I have already tried this one and it's not good enough and I don't need customizations like rotation of icons or making strange looking groups , also it is paid now (sometime ago it wasn't) ...
Besides Trebuchet, the new SlimLauncher that comes with SlimKat builds would probably be perfect for RAM usage. It looks like your i9100 hasn't had builds for a while and wouldn't have the latest one, aside from the fact that you're running DU.
Here is a link to the SlimLauncher.apk v1.0. All credit goes to Griffin Millender, @gmillz of SlimROMs.

I just tried it and it has all feautures I need and seems not to slow down my phone - but It is to big (resolution of icons and layout)
So thread is still open
You're welcome. Look under General > Icon Size...
It's there.
Keep in mind that SlimLauncher is still being worked on.
Slow down? Just look and feel or you have measurements?
I started using my first launcher Nova few days ago initially hesitant but feel phone is faster.
We cannot add pages in moto g default launcher it max to 5 pages fixed.
Still feel 4+ mb app size for a launcher is memory overhead.

@NoSpamDan - Well it changed my icons size and fits great, but I will in a minute upload a ss of a layout bug Thank you I will check inside the app and see how the layout is there and maybe fix it myself, but not at the moment... @vikraminside - Just look and feel The change is seen from the beggining, so I am trying to avoid such launchers, it's just my opinion, anyway thanks

What happens when you select Widgets and long press one to add to home screens? Doesn't the bottom bar disappear, revealing the whole screen for widget placement? It did for me...
