ok guys here is a theme i have been currently working on and just wanted to know if you guys had any interest in it. it doesn't have a proper name but its code name is Zen. feel free to suggest names and i will choose whichever i think suits it best. The theme is in a alpha stage at the moment as there are still lots of areas i plan on themeing. im also not 100% sure on the dock yet and currently testing ideas for a new one. i hope at least some of you guys are interested .
Edit: A beta of this theme has now been released. It is still a work in progress so expect there to be a few bugs. Get the download from here: http://themes.piratemedia.tv/2010-07-20-zen-theme-for-cm6-rc1-beta/

It's looking good so far, why the line across the wallpaper with darker section underneath?

no reason its just the style of the wallpaper im using which was created by daaxix from twitter. i asked someone to provide me with a simple wallpaper i could use with my theme and he responded with this.
It's fine, I just thought it would look cleaner and more natural if it wasn't there
it looks really good, but whats with the giant pokeball? You have to be rooted to install these right?
I like the status bar very much.
Good work, thanks for sharing!!

It`s beautiful... I like the status bar very much. It`s posible to make this theme
for Froyo users?.
P.S. Very good work, It`s amazing!. Thanks for share.
P.S.2. What widget are you using for the time and weather?, It`s Beautiful Widgets?. Thanks in advance. (The "Zen" name is a good name, so keep it).
Any chance we can get the status bar in an update.zip or metamorph theme compatible with CM builds? Love the status bar man....great work.
Great work

This is the best theme I have seen since gChrome!
I converted this wallpaper from a Gnome (Ubuntu) wallpaper because I liked it. I set the line up so that the bottom row of icons on the phone lie in the dark region. This allows for a dark and light region, I use the upper light region for a google calendar widget, which makes the text easy to read.

@daixx thanks again for the great wallpaper
Very nice. Love the status bar and white battery icon.
very simple and clean, I'd use it. Keep the name Zen.
Dude, that is an awesome look! You should definitely keep working on it and release it as soon as humanly possible. Great stuff!
I also like the statusbar... looks awesome the way you designed it.

Hi Customization freeks! Howdidoo?
It’s quite long we are waiting for MIUI to be ported to our fav SGT. But seem’s like things are pretty slow. So, there is something I come across the market to fill in the GAP.
Yes, It’s again a Chinese Theme based application works pretty well on upto 4.3” screens but do not disappoints the 7 incher either.
I wonder how XDA Developer.com did not focus on this application. Here’s the market link.
https://market.android.com/search?q=sskin+butterfly&so=1&c=apps
The previews of the themes are in Chinese but when you apply the themes, they adopt the system language. Well, I really don’t know for the other languages but yes for the English. At least 15 themes are free and there is no sign anywhere on the net that, someone must have uploaded the paid themes. I guess this application is new and will do wonders gradually.
Apart from this, I would like to suggest few more fancy applications which you guys must be well aware of for those who are not, try them.
Go Keyboard,
Go Contact’s,
Go Weather,
Battery widget viewer,
Circle Launcher.
I hope this will keep you busy until MIUI pops up
So what exactly does it theme? Is it a replacement launcher?

seems like there are people like minds. only difference is i play with it and stay awake, you play with it when you don't get sleep.
i wish someone could've updated the paid theme's they are sexy specially the rain theme.
It's slow, and the customization options that you have is even less than Zeam. You can't even set it to have more rows x columns in the homescreen, nor can you resize widgets.
And it looks Korean since most of its themes are based on Korean artists.

yeah man its cool. i like the flip of the theme. it's pretty fast on my tab i wonder how come its slow on other users as mentioned above. some people do not reboot their tabs as a result they become heavy. a reboot is a must in a day.

is there a way to remove touchwiz from the ics leaked rom?! CIQ is disabled if i could get rid of touchwiz id be in heaven
Without installing a custom ROM, I dont know of a way to just remove it. But, you can install a new launcher from the market. Try Nova or Apex. They wont change everything like the dialer and notification bar, but they do change a lot.

Some lauchers do, but some don't... you will have to try different ones to see which is for you. Try ADW or Launcher pro.

some more than others, but it doesn't affect mine too much
Im using Apex and just installed it today so I cant really give you to much detail on the battery life just yet. I would just experiment. The good thing about launchers is you can always uninstall them and try a different one without messing up the original Touchwiz.

Are you referring to the launcher or the overall skin? If it's the launcher then you can use Titanium Backup.

I'm definitely not a fan of TouchWiz, but I'd rather deal with TouchWiz on ICS than still be stuck it with GB..
I have a GN 10.1 and came from a TF201. In order to keep the "Hubs" format on my TF201, I used ADW Ex, which worked great. That being said, the TF201 was a pretty vanilla experience. Since the GN 10.1 has TW, not sure how much functionality is lost by going to another launcher.
Any recommendations?
Well, on ICS I prefer Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher. Funny thing though. When either are used on my Note 10.1, the seem to mess up he wallpaper resolution, blowing it up too large. Switch back to the stock launcher and the wallpaper goes back to normal. Switch again back to Nova and it will be normal for a while and then go bad from turning off the screen and back on. No idea why...anyone else?
I use Nova on my tablets since I opted to buy the prime version...

I also bought Nova and switched my phone over to it from Apex. Do yoyu experience this wallpaper thing? It happens to me on the stock wallpapers as well as pictures from gallery
I didn't have this issue on my first Note 10.1 last week, and will let you know about my new one that arrived today.
(I switched from 16gb to 32gb...)
On my GNote I prefer Apex, ATM. One thing making me crazy tho, is that the dock isn't transparent. Can't find a way to do it. I know I can hide it, but if it's hidden you can't specify how many folders/icons you can put on it. TYIA
Found it! Just tired from work, I guess. :-/
Nova launcher, no wallpaper issues to report, so far it's working flawlessly...been using it 2 days.
I personally use Apex Launcher, works great and you can use the Samsung Widgets

Nice one to try is Chameleon it is in beta but looks promising, Apex or Nova are good too.

If you run an alternate launcher do you lose any of the s pen functionality?
Thanks.
I am using... SPB Shell 3D
I forgot I bought this launcher a long time ago because my Galaxy phone got detroyed as i was coming off contract so i grabbed an iphone4s- :silly:
I loaded it up about 4 days ago and i can confirm it works great. No lag, no issues. The price is a little steep but i feel it was worth it. Comes with plenty of widgets and you can use any other widgets. The only issue found so far is you can not use a live wallpaper with it. But no big deal as i dont use them much.
Might not be for everyone because of cost$$ but it sure looks nice on the 10.1 note and is a head turner out in public.
Touchwiz still works with it as well ( a plus for some and neg for others) I have no issue with TW..

Hmm. Maybe there is something wrong in my saved config for nova. Think I will try again without a restore from titanium...otherwise I suppose I will try a wipe to defaults. BTW, for me this happened with the 4.0.4 the Note came with as well as the update from the other day. Odd
So, this wallpaper screen res problem is with any launcher than the stock and is annoying the crap out of me
To confirm, nobody else with the Note 10.1 has their wallpaper resolution reduced by Nova, Apex, whatever launcher...The wallpaper blows up to large, but can be messed with to get it to go to the right size, but doesn't last?
If not this unit is going back for an exchange. Too expensive a toy to be irritated by it
Thanks

Use the Picspeed HD Wallpapers app and use it to set the wallpaper. It solved the zooming of the wallpaper on all launchers.

I am having this zooming issue as well. Gave the Picspeed app a go but it didn't seem to make much of a difference. I'm currently using Nova but Im about to give Apex a shot and see if I have the same troubles there.

No, everything remains intact. The S-pen is independent of the launcher. I've ever seen reports that you can use Samsungs widgets with other launchers, I have not confirmed this though.

I had bought Chameleon through Kickstarter and couldn't wait to install it, but was extremely disappointed with the result. I use ADWEX on my S3 but wanted something more optimized for ICS and tablets. Decided to try Apex and absolutely love it. From being able to have quick buttons for Google Search and Voice Search/Commands in the top right corner of every screen to the customization of the bottom launch bar and the cool look of folders, it's just about perfect. I use one of the basic live wallpapers (northern lights) and it works fine for me with no issues.

for those having wallpaper issues on home launchers can try this:
Free version does the same as paid. Paid version is just to support dev. No features are removed for free version.

Hey there,
Haven't seen too much debate on this topic regarding the S8. I hear TouchWiz has come along quite a ways since the S6-S7 days, but am still curious-- Do you prefer Nova or TouchWiz, and why?
I'm on the Oreo Beta, and don't have too many problems with the built-in TouchWiz, but I do have Nova Prime and rather loved it back in the day! I don't have too many of the stuttering / lag / battery eating issues I've heard reporting around using the TouchWiz launcher (at least that I know of), but hear that Nova isn't as lightweight and efficient as it was in the past.
Your take?
Such dead boards on the s8 section, think the HTC M8 still sees more life haha

I tried using Touchwiz but there were a few things that put me off.
1. It saves your app drawer position. This annoys me a lot.
2. Novas forcing Adaptive icons is great Samsungs drawer is just full of mismatched icons which bugs me.
I could live with Touchwiz is Samsung fixed 1. but otherwise Nova is just more customisable and handy.
Well tbh touchwiz has improved a lot and it really is a good launcher atm.
Evie launcher it's the best for me. Fast and rly good looking. I'm very disappointed from tw. Why don't let people change icons? Just to buy their ugly icon pack on theme store? BTW I'm coming from nova Launcher
Yeah well Nova really seems to do it for me... I had issues with Evie
Back to Nova for me, at least for a bit. TouchWiz has gotten pretty nice, but theres some things I just miss
The only thing I really like of SE Launcher are the animations, they're so smooth and makes the phone feel even faster
After the oreo final hits, a lot of people will move to nova launcher, mainly being because in oreo touchwiz, if you swipe a notification away, then the unread badge for that app also clears, this is so annoying, I've been using nova prime and tesla unread to get around this
Is this even a legit question? Battery life +performance + features, Nova is the way to go. Why gimp your phone purposely with no real benefit?
Nova anytime.
More customisable, more flexible, able to save layout, smoother and faster.

Well, I usually dismiss notifications I don't care about lol. Like any Facebook notification, so swiping them alway won't annoy me anymore with the badge.
I have never liked TouchWiz, Squircle icons look like crap IMO. I've been alternating between Nova and Action Launcher for quite many days, and love both the launchers. Though performance wise, Nova always comes out on top.
Only thing I would like to have in nova launcher is blurring the background when we open apps menu, like we have in touchwiz
Have you guys noticed that nova uses more battery than using normal he launcher? In my case it does
