Hi all,
I am loving Nova Launcher, and found a few themes I like in Playstore. I also found a site this a.m. that I would love feedback on, Android Looks There are tons of themes to choose from but I am not sure about the .apk files. I've used them before as I installed them for Google Play on my Kindles. Never an issue. But I did get the .apk through xda, so I felt pretty secure trying that.
I'm only a little, bit tekkie but I also know the risks when trying new things for my devices. I did look around (did a search) on this site to see if the Android Looks site was talked about anywhere, but nothing came up.
I'd like to hear from anyone that may have used their themes (.apk's) and found them reputable? Or maybe just someone that knows the site and creator?
Thanks for any feedback. Phone info below:
Moto G6 8.0 Oreo
Nova Launcher
Android Looks says it's for Go Launcher, but as you read down the site, it also lists other launchers compatible with the themes. Nova being one.
Thread closed as per Op's request.

To all you amazing dev's: Anyone interested in porting this to us? i think this launcher looks fantastic. Take a look at that vid, and here are the posts with files for it.

edit: looks lke i was wrong its not VEGA, its PoV Mobii . I still think its really neat.
I think gojimi* already ported this in the themes n apps section.
http://vegantab.gojimi.com/downloads/
look on that page for 3d launcher v 1.0
hmmm, i'll have to look deeper.
As a side note, I pulled the zip from http://android.modaco.com/content/advent-vega-vega-modaco-com/329946/3d-desktop-plugin/#entry1567646 (backed up) and ran the bat after ADB found the device. it works like a champ. not customizable, but neat looking. It's worth a few moments as a diversion, but VTL.Launcher is still my fave
I guess i'm still looking for new and creative ways to brick my device. It didn't work this time, I'll have to try harder.
I assume this probably won't work on TNT then?
i dont see why not, it seems like another launcher.
Cool launcher but I would like to be able to change the apps on the dock. Until then. Back to VTL.
Its a very cool interface. Just seams like a demo though. Really like how it feels like a tablet interface should. Just wish you could change out links on the bottom bar. This is good progress for the future of tablets though. I really love vtl lately it will be my daily as soon as gingerbread gets hardware exceleration. Till then I'm sticking with beta 5.1.1 and launcher pro.
Is there a thread for this launcher in the themes and apps section? Did a search but I couldn't find it.

Yeah, I had to search to find it. I installed it last night using CM7, and it works fine.

hey people. I just made this thread to let you all know about buzz launcher which I accidentally found on market and I think is brilliant. Basically it lets you upload your homescreen so that other people can directly download it and transform their phone like yours and of course you can also download other people's homescreens as well. Everything is included even the widgets they use and icon packs and all, as direct links to the market apps either from the download homescreen section or directly from the downloaded homescreen by pressing on the faint (non downloaded) widgets and being directed to the market for dl. Anyway give it a try and let me know. Will upload some homescreens when I am home. It is amazing what you can do with a couple of clicks...
i've seen this launcher and it's pretty interesting, some say it lags but im guessing it depends on the type of phone you have....
I may try it out myself later
nice find. more of a homescreen sharing app than a launcher, it really rocks. And the buzz widget is really flexible. You can almost make anything you want out of it be it clock,weather widget or many other thing and any combo...
Hello,
Does anyone know of a HomeScreen/Launcher app that is similar to "For 2.2+, Tag Home(Launcher)" that is compatible with Android 4.2+ ?
Namely, the categorised app drawer.
I used TagHome on my Nexus One for four years and loved it, but it's not compatible with SGS4/Android 4.2+.
I have done a lot of searching and experimenting, the only one I could find that comes close is "ADWLauncher EX".
But the setup and maintenance of app's categories is horrible compared to the simplicity of TagHome.
***
To clarify the setup, in TagHome you go: edit mode, select an app then choose it's category.
Where as in ADWex, you go: edit mode, select a category then choose all the apps that belong to it.
***
It might not seem like a big deal but it means the difference between scrolling through and scrutinising all your apps only once or many, many times.
Also, after the initial setup, when new apps are installed, there is no having to search for them among all apps in order to categorise them.
I have tried contacting the developers of both apps. No response from either.
But ADW did add an uncategorised tab, though it's pointless with the above described setup/edit mode they use.
I have a very large collection of apps and games and I like trying out new ones regularly. Being able to categorise my apps is important to me.
I'd love to hear any advice.
Thanks in advance.
Aussie Cheers,

PS sorry if this post is in the wrong thread, admins feel free to move it.
Make me a Launcher like TakHome?
Me again..
I came across this "[HOW TO] Create your own Android Launcher (Video Series)" but its way beyond my abilities.
Would I be asking too much for someone here to please make me a Launcher like TagHome for Android 4.2+ ?
Kind regards,
Puppet Test Pilot
anyone?

Its kinda differet, but SmartLauncher is really great and amazingly fast
Or give Nova Launcher a try. Provides creating own app categories/tabs
Go launcher ex does that automatically.
Thank you LS.xD and Kobro, I'll check-out these three launchers and let you know what I think.
Cheers
Ok so I've played around with all three for an hour or so and I think I like Go Launcher EX, its really easy to categorise apps.
Smart Launcher was good but adding and changing categories is only available in Pro version.
Nova Launcher has no categories except in Pro version.
Thanks again
hey all
So I recently got myself a Nexbox A95x to play with, hardware is really nice, looks sleek, then I turned it on.. The first thing that hit me is the launcher UI is horrible.
To cut a long story short, I've looked on the Play Store and I can't seem to see any launchers that look anything close to the UI experience of Google's Leanback launcher so I'm wondering what you guys recommend as the launcher for one of these types of boxes?
Also, is there any apps you use to be notified on your TV when you get an sms or whatsapp etc?
I should also note I'm a dev, and I'm seriously considering building something better than what I've currently found out there so far so I'm interested to know if I've missed something or if the state of TV ui apps atm really is lacking..
You could try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.awe.dev.pro.tv
Once it been set-up, it's very good. You can change artwork of apps and rearrange with ease.
Does this replace original launcher? Or does it act app like? Does it start itself when booting android TV?
I know this thread is old but I recently purchased the A95X and wanted to share my thoughts for anyone who may find this in the near future.
The A95X isn't the greatest box by any stretch but the TV Launcher linked here has made this box worth using. I've been looking for a way to sideload the Google Android TV Launcher but this device is not listed as compatible with the play store listing. Still searching for that but in the mean time, TV Launcher is a quality app that does run app like but you just set it as the default launcher and it starts when you boot the box. I recommend it.

you can use cetusplay from playstore.. inside cetusplay there is app section from which leanback launchers can be installed..
but for some reason google leanback launcher not showing recommendations.
I will also suggest you to use HAL launcher.

it is really difficult for me to even imagine anything worse than lean back launcher

I run a samsung galaxy s7 (qualcomm), and I run the nova launcher as a replacement for the default touchwiz home launcher. I have only one theme downloaded to my phone (Purple Tech by prapas chantavali, from the samsung theme store/app), and I like it, mostly for the purple color. Most themes I saw on substratum and here are dark themed but with barely any purple; and for what themes not on substratum, they say "its trial only, but use root explorer, move/delete some stuff, and its free"
TL;DR for a person who has a qualcomm s7 and therefore can't root or flash, what really are my choices for themes. and for those hosted on either substratum or here, are any of them purple and free? free themes with no ads are really preferred

just buy it on Theme Store.
Hahahaha a very intelligent way to ask for free paid themes xD
Jk.
The only thing that you can do is to purchase it over playstore or Samsung theme store.... Because Samsung is a heavy modified UI most of the themers are selling their themes (for a good reason)
I've been thinking about building themes and starting a thread, I've already tested on my wife's phone, and only takes 2 apks(font/theme).
I'll post my current personal theme, I can do quite a bit theme wise. If your interested. I can explain what I am able to include and exclude.
It's a quick look, but almost all stock Google and Samsung apps are covered, system interfaces included.
Quick note, wanted to add one picture, for anyone that doesn't care for hero amoled. Also, shop wouldn't let me add this picture as an edit.
Hi, first time posting so no doubt I've probably posted in the wrong spot, wrong format or given a remedial, uninformed, dumbarse response, or a combo of everything all at once.
No biggie, considering my noob questions about rooting are coming next - I'm also Aussie so that will be making me laugh for years to come - but if a lack of themes are your only issue, go get yourself a copy of KLWP and KWGT and make your own with relative ease. Or download free presets from G+ and PlayStore or buy some of the really sweet presets from the PlayStore....
OK, now to go find a stupid arse spot to post questions about rooting. Lol...rooting :laugh:
there is an app called themeGalaxy. create ur own theme.
