[SCREENSETUP][FEB-23-2012] Futuristic/aliens setup for your nexus :)

A lot of people have been asking me how I made my setup, so I'm going to make a simple guide as to how to make it. It's easier than it looks, specially now that I'm helping you!
This concept was not originally mine, and I don't take credit for it. But I made it my way and I had permission to borrow his concept of control layout
This is how it turned out //
{
"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"
}
NOW Let's Start!
Apps you need //
Minimalistic Text
Palmary Weather Premium or Something similar
I was using Nova Launcher/AOKP B25/Black Nexus by Nitro
No Search Bar - 6x5 Grid
*Note that all of the minimalistic text is bottom aligned vertically and as well as all of them have a static “1spacebar” before the actual time/date/etc.
ie. time has [1space][hour][:][minutes][am/pm]
SCREEN 1
Minimalistic WIDGET SIZE = 3 × 2 – time – 122 dip size // PM/AM – 40 dip size
Minimalistic WIDGET SIZE = 2 x 1 – date – 40 dip size
Put the date on the 2ND ROW of the screen from the top and leave the top part of the screen blank
PALMARY WIDGET - 4 X 2 - Then resize to 5 x 3 fill the middle part
Minimalistic WIDGET SIZE = 2 × 1 – battery – 75 dip size
Bottom part of the screen
3 blank icons to place on the right side
ie phone app / messaging app / folder
SCREEN 2
Minimalistic WIDGET SIZE = 3 × 1 – memory – 55 dip size
To the right side, 2nd row again, leave top part of screen blank.
SWITCHPRO WIDGET - SIZE 4 - then resize to 3 x 1 to fit the wallpaper design
Picture Gallery widget - 5 x 3 - resize to fit the wallpaper design
Minimalistic WIDGET SIZE = 2 × 1 – battery temp is 72 dip size
Bottom left part of the screen
AGAIN
3 blank icons to place on the right side
ie phone app / messaging app / folder
Download the SETUP.zip I have attached and copy the Minimalisticpreference and fonts folder in your sdcard.
The images, distribute where you keep your wallpaper/graphics as well as the softkeys folder if you want them.
*For the softkeys, you will have to use ninjamorph and do it manually because I have no clue how to make a zipthemer or metamorph file.
Apply the wallpaper first and make sure you have the 6x5 grid already applied and have 2 screens instead of 5.
Start applying the widgets (LOOK AT THE SIZES ABOVE) and instead of laying them out manually just restore the preferences I made.
Now for the "Navigation" part of the wallpaper, you can replace that with whatever app you want. I have included a link to the .psd so you can update it.
*Note that I didn't clean up the PSD so you will have to figure it out yourself
IF and WHEN you are done with the navigation part, use the blank.png I included as the new icon for each app you have to make it transparent.
I hope by this time you already have it setup.
ONCE you have this setup, you will have an understanding as to how I layed it out and NOW you can START CUSTOMIZING YOUR OWN
Good Luck!
Please post screenshots of yours here so I can see the results

I know how to make ZipThemer files if you need them. This is wonderful

I got an error message when trying to load the minimalistic text preferences. Any idea why? I copied them from your zip, to my sd card where the preferences for MT are, but got an error when trying to load them. No idea

maybe make a backup of your saved preferences and then delete the folder of the pref again and reinstall minimalistic text, then just copy the files inside my folder to your new pref folder...
I haven't heard of this type of issue, maybe a corrupted transfer to your sdcard?

Same problem has that guy

Looks cool.
I wanted to try it but it would be nice if you'd include a little more detailed instructions as how to set this thing up for us - lazy n00bs.
I mean if I put the wallpaper images on the SD and then try to apply the wallpaper thru Gallery, it wants me to crop the image, which will end up over or undercropped so it won't fit the screen precisely.
Also I couldn't figure out how to restore the minimalistic preferences you've made.
So I gave up.

Maybe make a backup of your nova home screen and upload it? I don't know of that'd work though

Would you mind posting the PSD for the lockscreen?
Also - what are you using for the quick controls?

Alright, I added my nova launcher backup, hopefully that works...Also inside the folders, I included different color schemes for the wallpaper and Lockscreen...
ie. orange, red, yellow, etc.
For some reason, xda wouldn't accept the zip even though it's less than 11 mb. anyways, here are the files...Hopefully it works this time...
extra.zip
lockscreen.psd
Make sure that you are using AOKP rom and have 2 screens using nova launcher FIRST. Then maybe once you understand the layout, you can customize it.
IF for some reason the wallpaper isn't properly working just apply it and reboot, nova launcher is weird that way.
I UPDATED THE GUIDE!!

Thanks for your help. I couldnt get your preferences to work, so I just went ahead and did the configuration. Doesnt look as good as yours, but not bad considering I'm using a G2X running CM7. LMK what you think.
Lockscreen- CM7 w/ gestures and music controls (no widget)
Homescreen- Beautiful weather, Minimalistic text, launcher pro, CM7 "crystal" theme, Multipicture live wallpapers (had to split your wallpaper into two screens to fit my smaller device properly)
Second Screen- Still not sure what to do here, I dont really need a power widget bc it is in my drop-down menu, maybe I'll add the temp and space, but for now I gotta get back to (real)work!
Thanks a lot for the wallpapers and ideas! I found this thread via Mycolorscreen btw

It looks good already, I like your icons

Cool! I set it up manually but is there a way to change the minimalistic text to that tall kind without making it the entire system font? That's the only way I found out how to do it. Thanks.
EDIT: Never mind, got it.

Also, which launcher icons are you using, it all looks good together.

Can you repost the preferences files? keeps giving an error on the restore.

​

Guide to change individual app dpi
You will need;
1 A root level file explorer like root explorer
2 A little patience
To perform the changes
So you need to find out if the app you want to change the dpi level for is either a system or data app, to do this open your file manager and look in system/app or data/app. You need to then long press the app you want and press rename. Then copy the app name by long pressing the text and press copy, dont copy any .apk or -1 at the end of the name.
Then navigate to system folder and look for pad.prop. press the mount rw button then long press open in text editor. So now you need to remember where you found your chosen app, was it system or data? If system long press under then system header or if it was a data app look for the apps header. To paste your app name in the right place find a empty line, long press then paste. You need to add at the start of the line for your app pa.
Nearly there!
So next at the end you need to add .dd= and then your chosen dpi level.
So for example for apex, I have it as a system app and my line in pad.prop for apex looks like
pa.com.anddoes.launcher.dd=221
Then you need to press menu key, then save and exit. Restart your app and it should display how you want
UPDATE 13/5/2012
I actually find using 220 dpi and using 4x5 grid looks better

Almost perfect tablet mode apex launcher
OK guys, finally I got apex launcher all sorted and found the optimum settings for this from, perhaps tips like this can be added into 1st or 2nd post. I have spent near enough my entire evening doing this and want to share so others can enjoy apex launcher properly using this rom!
1. Set the dpi at 221 for the launcher with this line pa.com.anddoes.launcher.dd=221 (copy and paste to system/pad.prop underneith the system header somewhere).
Home screen settings
2.Then set the icon rows and columns at 6x5 for landscape and portrait.
3. Set large horizontal margin and none for vertical margin.
4. Non scrolling wall paper (I prefer).
Dock settings
5. Uncheck hide dock (so dock is now shown)
Advanced settings
6. Check resize any widget
7. Check overlapping widget
8. Check widget in dock
9. Check keep in memory
10 ENJOY
set the rest to your preferences and enjoy apex in phone mode with everything displaying just about normally, including the app drawer, that's why dpi has to be 221 to get the right grid size.
Hope you like it guys and like I say its taken me ****ing hours to get this set up how I want it!

Very very nice. Thanks a lot!!!!

Nice guide & some great apps/widgets.
Just wanted to mention that if you long press the menu soft key, its a short cut & brings up the google search bar. This way you can loose the bar on all your home screens to free up more screen estate if you like?

If using metro icons its advisable to reduce the size of each icon to 64x64 using Photoshop or something similar as the default icons are 256x256 and look a bit rough around the edges when applied.
Although this is not necessary if your like me then detail matters

[GUIDE][HOMESCREEN] Dark Pie UI, One of the BEST homescreen! (Made by Wicked4u2c)

Hey everyone! You want to "pimp" your homescreen? Make your Gnex's homescreen stand out from everyone else's? Well look no farther! I'm going to put a step-by-step guide for Dark Pie UI!
Before I start, this is not my work. It is a work from Wicked4u2c, and I am just posting a step-by-step guide for it. ALL credits go to him
Here's a link to his YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/wicked4u2c
Here's a link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQKjt1LGGT4
Thank you Armando Ferreira (AKA, Wicked4u2c) for letting make a guide for this
This is what it should look like when you're done:

UPDATE: As of August 27th, Google has closed down weather API. This means that UCCW weather widget will no longer work! However, you could just put something different, like what deep_17 has done. He even posted a lovely wallpaper to match it Thank you sir!
Anyways, thank you RayGarden for notifying us!
Original post from him:
Hi Everybody,
For who is interested in Weather / Location settings within UCCW. It won't work for the moment and probably not anymore at all.
Read This: http://thenextweb.com/google/2012/08...e-weather-api/
As this has a major impact on Developers Work, i've sent a notification to XDA Support Center and asked them to share this information with the crowd.
FYI

UPDATE: I have found a workaround for UCCW weather problem! I will post it tomorrow or so! Hopefully that'll help a lot of people with their weather problems!
UPDATE: As of September 10th, UCCW uses Yahoo weather, which means you can now use weather widget with no problem!
This takes pretty long time to customize. So make sure you got pretty good amount of time in your hand
Now, let's get started!
Step 1: Downloading Apps
Download and install Nova Launcher from Play Store
Download and install UCCW from Play Store
Download and install MetroStation from Play Store
Download and install Minimalistic Text from Play Store
IF YOU WANT THEMED LOCKSCREEN TOO, Download and install Widgetlocker from Play Store (Costs about 2.99)
Step 2: Downloading and Transferring Files
Download the zip file from this link: http://www.hangar1337.com/goodies/sdcard.zip
Extract/unzip the file
In the folder, move EVERYTHING EXCEPT "readme.txt" and "Sources - do not put in sdcard" to the phone
If it prompt you to merge the file, click yes
Step 3: Setting the homescreen up
Launch Nova Launcher
Go to Nova Launcher setting
Go to Backup
Click Restore, and then click Nova Boss 2.
Change the wallpaper to one in Wallpaper file. Make sure you don't crop anything.
Remove the invisible folder from every "section" (from Office, Misc, Media and Social) by longpressing them, and then dragging them to the X. This is neccesairly.
You should see few Add Widget boxes. Only delete the one at the very top.
Click on Add Widget box that is on the top left side. Scroll down and choose Minimalistic Text 2x1. Now scroll down and click Restore. From there, choose "Battery_Boss_2". This should give you a nice looking battery widget. You might need to resize it to adjust it.
Click on Add Widget box that is on the top right side. Scroll down and choose Minimalistic Text 2x1. Now scroll down and click Restore. From there, choose "Time_Boss_2". This should give you a nice looking clock widget. You might need to resize it to adjust it.
Click on Add Widget box that is on the center of the "Pie". Scroll down and choose Ultimate Custom Clock Widget (UCCW) 3x3. From there, choose "Clock Android". You might need to resize it to make it fit into the Pie.
Click on the last Add Widget box. Scroll down and choose Ultimate Custom Clock Widget (UCCW) 4x1. From there, choose "Weather". You might need to resize it to make it fit. (It is normal for the widget to not show you the correct place. I will explain that later.)
Long press on the top of the screen (Where there's Google Drive widget on the image) and then create a widget. This widget can be whatever you want. I personally use Power Widget, but it's your choice . You might need to resize it to fit.
Now you got the "base" of the homescreen Off to customizing your homescreen!
Step 4: Customizing the homescreen
Create a folder on top of each "Pie Section" (Office, Media, Social and Misc) with the apps for each section inside it.
Long press each icon and choose Edit.
Click on the icon.
Choose Files. Select Gallery. From there, go to Invisible Icon folder and choose the invisible icon. Now, you won't be able to see the folder, but you can still access them, thus making it look like your pressing the Pie section.
After you've done this, you should be able to access the folder by pressing each Pie Section. Cool, right?
Now, off to customizing each icons. You don't need to do this if you don't really care about how your icon looks.
OPTIONAL: Step 5: Customizing each icons
Long press the app inside the folder.
Choose Edit
Click on icon, then choose icon pack, then MetroStation
Choose the icon that best suits the app
Type in the color code that is provided in the Readme.txt. You can choose which color to use. I personally used color of the Pie Section for the apps. (Blue for Office apps, Purple for Misc apps, etc)
Repeat the steps for every apps
OPTIONAL: Step 6: The lockscreen
Launch Widgetlocker
Go to Widgetlocker Setting
Go to Backup/Restore and then Restore.
Choose Locker Boss 2
Now you got an awesome lockscreen that goes with the homescreen
FAQ
Question: I can't get a weather on my UCCW widget!
Answer: Launch UCCW, go to Settings, go to Location, select Auto location
Can I change the Pie UI to my liking?
Answer: Yes, if you have Photoshop. There's a Psd file on the "Source - do not move to sdcard" folder.
Question: It says Play Store or Camera isn't installed when I clearly have it!
Answer: Remove the invisible icon, place the Play Store or Camera app, and then change the icon into invisible icon.
Question: If I try to place more apps onto the folder I've already created, it won't let me!
Answer: Click on the folder that you want to place the app on, click on the menu icon, select Add, and then add whatever you need.
Question: Because of the clock widget, I can't access some of my folders!
Answer: Long-press the clock widget, and then select "Send to back"
Question: Do I need root for this?
Answer: Nope. You can do this on unrooted devices.
More questions? Post it on this thread and I'll try my best to help!
Hope you guys love this as much as me! And again, thank you Wicked4u2c for giving me permission to post this thread! All credits goes to you!!

[HUAWEI] [EMUI] Remove icon borders, backgrounds etc. - ENABLE PURE ICONS

As you may noticed, Huawei's EMUI is adding rounding borders to icons. This can be very annoying so there is a simple trick to have icons without borders.
But first - I am not responsible for any damage made by doing this.
What will this do?
Remove rounded borders and icon background from applications icons
Replace system app icons to material design icons
[Coming soon][Now available]Replace out-of-date looking app icons (google apps etc.) - Most of them were replaced, if you see any out-of-date icons, please write it in comments
NEW: Some users, especially Ankit Aryal, TKGerrald and shahi.persian (I am sorry if I forgot about anyone), suggested me to make theme that only changes 3rd party apps. So, I am presenting Third Party Apps edition known as 3PAE. Installation is the same as "NEW installation (3.0+)". Download HERE
Knows issues
Some apps like Google apps, Viber etc. will still have borders, but not rounded - Most of them were fixed, if you see any bordered icons, please write it in comments
Lockscreen wallpaper can't be changed, it is always the same as the homescreen wallpaper
Tested on Huawei MediaPad M2 8.0
NEW installation (3.0+) (if something goes wrong, use the original installation below):
Download Pure.HWT file from download section (unpack if you downloaded .7z file, if you have .hwt file, do not unpack)
Put the file into your device to HWThemes folder
Open Themes app on your device
Choose a stock theme that will be used as a base (for example, I like the theme called Brightness) and apply it
Open Themes app again
Tap Customise
Tap lock style, tap more and choose PureIconsV3.0 and Apply
Tap Unlock animation and apply any theme you like
Tap Lock screen and apply your lockscreen wallpaper
Tap Home screen and apply your homescreen wallpaper
The most important step: Tap Icons then more and choose PureIconsV3.0 and apply
Done
Original installation (1.0+):
Download Pure.HWT file from download section (unpack if you downloaded .7z file, if you have .hwt file, do not unpack)
Put the file into your device to HWThemes folder
Open Themes app on your device
Find theme called Pure and tap it
Tap a checkbox
Done

WOW awesome !!!!!

Thank you for this awesome "theme", this really rescues the ugly look of the Huawei icons in connection with Nova Launcher.
Would you mind telling me why some of the icons (e.g. Google Drive, Dropbox, Google Calendar, Play Store) still have a (square, sharp) white background while others (e.g. Spotify, Whatsapp, Google Clock and others) don't have one? How do I disable the ugly white background in an EMUI theme?
Thanks for sharing.

Greetings!
So... The reason of that is because some "clever" people in Huawei decided it will be better if they replace the icons of the most popular apps. So even if you generaly disable backgrounds theese apps will still have borders and will be looking out of date. And the reason of that some apps doesn't have borders is because I replaced the icon manually but for some reason I can't replace the play store icon. So if you give me a list of ugly looking apps, I can replace them in the next update.

Really clever of them, thanks for clarification.
Icons that still have a white border and might be of general interest: Dropbox, Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Calendar, Street View (comes with Google Maps). Interestingly, though, some apps that are 100% not included in your list and have an irregular shape with transparency (e.g. Automate, DiscoMark Benchmark) don't have such a border. This behaviour seems quite strange.
I anyways use Nova Launcher, so no need to include my listed apps, I just thought I might mention them for your information.
Cheers mate
PS: Do you need to replace all the single icons in order to not show a border? Or can you replace some kind of theme-wide "border file" with an empty file to not show a border?

Hello!
I will include the icon.s ASAP. The reason because the apps like automate don't have a border is because Huawei didn't change the icon, just added borders so in this case it is easier to remove the borders generally. For regular apps I simply remove the file that add borders. But in apps like Google apps and other popular apps I have to do it manually, icon by icon

Some other apps with ugly white boxes, in 2.2 version: Waze, Messenger (Facebook), Play Store.
Anyway, great job, thanks!

First of all, thanks so much for the theme. Those ugly borders I have been loathing since the moment I got my P8 Lite (ALE-L04, now on 5.1). Got linked from an Android Central article today.
For icons still with white border, apart from the others already mentioned, I have: Google Photos, Play Games, Voice Search.
There seems to be a bug with the theme on my phone. The lockscreen wallpaper cannot be set independently from the homescreen wallpaper. From what I can tell, the theme has "styles" for Homescreen and the Lockscreen. Seems like the lockscreen portion may not be well defined enough and the system treats them as the same. The wallpaper settings allow me to change the lockscreen wallpaper with "Other", but once selected, it does not do anything.
Let me know if you need screenshots.
Keep up the good work!

I have found a workaround. Since the icons are one of the components of a theme, and the EMUI allows customizing each of the components (screen lock style, unlock animation, lockscreen, homescreen, icons, and font), we can use the stock themes and just switch the Icons to your theme. However, I could not do that because Themes -> Customize does not see your theme as a selectable Icons theme. I hacked the zip file around and looked at another theme that I downloaded (the Android N theme). Turns out I just need a preview_icons_1.png file under the preview folder for the theme to be selectable for just the icon. I created a 1x1 png just for that. Tried to put a nicer png but it does not render the picture. This worked without needing to reskin the lockscreen and fiddle with layout XML files and such.
One thing I do miss though, is that the incomplete theming seems to unhide additional functionality of the lockscreen. The default on mine is a swipe to unlock with a camera icon on the lower right (swiping that will go directly to Camera app). With yours set as the whole theme, I got a 4-way unlock slider thing (like stock Android?) and it was cool. I do want the individual wallpapers more than that "feature".

Version with "normal" System App Icons?
Hi!
First of all: awesome work! Was looking for that for ages. But is there a possibility that you can Upload a Version with less fancy music, telephone and Messaging Icon? And is it possible to switch the background colors of the Widgets to the style which is "Singularity" Theme is using? (Official Emui 4.0 p8 Theme)
If you could do such thing, that would be so awesome!!
Like I would even pay for that theme.

Thank you so much for this! When you use original installation for V3.0 you will still have the lockscreen functions but if you use new installation, you can change the background independently.

Hi! Thanks for you feedback! Messaging and Telephone icons should be changed by now. Music (I think you mean ringtone) can be changed in future, if you sent me a music that you want to have there, that would be great. I don't know much about changing widget background but if you sent me the Singularity theme, I could try it.

Awesome work!
Thanks for this great work! I was shocked when I saw the ugly iOS 'adapted' Icons on my new Mediapad and spend some hours to find out how to change this.
I want to let you know that also the Hangouts Icon still have the ugly backround.
Sincerely
Tina

Music (I think you mean ringtone) can be changed in future, if you sent me a music that you want to have there, that would be great. I don't know much about changing widget background but if you sent me the Singularity theme, I could try it.

The original Singularity theme seems to be a stock one on the P8. Someone repacked it. Music may mean the music player app? On mine the icon just looks like Google Play Music. The widget thing may need deeper skinning of the respective app to set background colours, etc.?

Thanks for this great work! I was shocked when I saw the ugly iOS 'adapted' Icons on my new Mediapad and spend some hours to find out how to change this.
I want to let you know that also the Hangouts Icon still have the ugly backround.

On my P8 Lite the Hangouts icon was already fixed even in v2.2. Attached is a screenshot for v3.0.
@MrAdny: also confirming that Play Games has been fixed. :good:

Thank you so much for this! When you use original installation for V3.0 you will still have the lockscreen functions but if you use new installation, you can change the background independently.

Unfortunately even after changing the screen lock style to V3.0 the 4-way unlock thing still did not re-surface. I think it was a fluke/bug that made it show up in the first place. To properly enable that may need to fully re-implement the lockscreen layout. Oh well, no big loss for me; or I learned to live with same wallpapers.

Google fit has a square white background
And Huawei magnifier is black you can't see the icon on black background.
Other than that it's a great thee thank you!
