[MOD] For My BMW Fans!!

Hey guys, don't know if there are any other BMW fans out there, but this is a simple launcher mod I did for myself so I thought I'd share it with you guys. This is on my rooted stock LTE 4.0.2 build, but I'm sure it will work with other builds as well. It is based off of the search bar removal launcher by djmcnz. Anyways the screenshot and flashable zip are found below! Enjoy

Hell Yeah!!!!
I had a 1991 M3 E30 loooong time ago. One of the best handling cars at that era. No electronic bullcrap to hinder your skill. Pure machine.
I'd love to get that M logo as an icon. Care to show me how to get it.

Ahh I'm so jealous! I absolutely love that car and would love to get my hands on one.
In any case, I tried the M logo real quick. I gotta realign it, but let me know if you like this and I can fix it up for you sometime this weekend:

Ohh, e30 M3 - the legend. I want one of those.
I've got a mint condition e36 3.2 6 Speed LTW Coupe... Estoril Blue with Dove leather interior. Number 288 of 400.
It's in storage now... 20,000 km's away from me...

Liked it but didn't like the rest of the mods on that launcher. I do love the BMW roundel as the app drawer button. I want to make that work on ADW EX, as that is my launcher of choice.

You can use custom icons with Nova launcher.

Yes but I like adw because it stores my layout when I flash roms. No need to recreate my home screen layout every time. Does nova do this as well?

How do ii bring Launcher Pro back from the dead?

ii was bored with my phone, so ii decided to look for a new launcher. surprisingly, there arent any new ones worth trying. so ii said to myself, lemme check out Launcher Pro. got to the app page, and realized it hasn't been updated since May of 2011. why, you ask? Because the developer died in a car accident (or so im told). since this is the case, does anyone know how ii would go about gettin permission to edit and improve the app that changed how we see our launchers today?

Where did you hear that? I don't see anything in the launcher pro forums
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

Would LOVE to see LauncherPro resurrected, but i just don't think it is going to happen. As far as the developer dying in a car crash, I didn't see anything regarding that either.

ii saw it on a few comments on the interwebb. dont know how true it is tho. ii hope thats not the situation is, but that would definitely would explain the sudden halt of production.

I dunno man, seems pretty active on his twitter account to be dead.... https://twitter.com/fedecarnales
EDIT: He also updated Uber music on july 29th, 2011. Looks like he's doing some work on Windows Phone 7 though.

Are you sure somebody didn't say "it's like" or "maybe he died"? The activity halt on it was sudden enough to definitely make people consider something of that nature for sure. For some reason I seem to remember my phone updating LP not too long ago, then again maybe I was dreaming. Who knows.
It was open source if I remember right. Not sure what license it was under though but maybe we should grab the code, update it, and rename it to 'XDA Launcher' or something like that

I really hope is claims this month of "Still working on it," are truthful. I hear LPP is completely incompatible with ICS.
While ADW and Go have some nice features, both of them result in sporadic lag on my phone.

Same here with other launchers, nothing but problems eventualy. LP is the only one that worked rock solid all the time. Hope someone updates it soon. Myabe even add some new features...

Awesome! I read a couple of places that it was broke and was sad. Now I am happy. lol

I saw on the lp forums the other day, supposedly there is an update, it just isnt released......I didnt look much further into it, but for those who care, might go look for it

The last I heard he's very much alive and well but he's running way behind on what he had hoped would be a major overhaul of the launcher. Still, it would be nice to see some minor updates to keep up with the latest apps and phones.

If there is an update, I would like to see the ability to make folders in the app drawer. It gets kinda cluttered, with a bunch of apps.

I remember reading a while back that updates stopped because it was as perfectly stable as possible and the dev had other stuff he wanted to work on. Heard about an update being made but taking longer than anticipated. This was back in November so I may be remembering wrong
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

What's really fascinating is that there hasn't been an update since May, and its STILL considered one of the Big 3 of launchers.

True but honestly why would you leave such a great app behind!? The dev needs to update it or let someone run it.

Theme expansion- A little help deciding

Could the kind people around here please help me decide which of the two sets of buttons i should use in a theme:
{
"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"
}
I like set 1 as they are simple and elegant, but......
i like set 2 and they would be easier to expand into a theme.
Please share your thought's.
You can either post or vote your opinion in the poll at the top.
Which ever set is more popular will also be created in a variety of colours.
Thank you in advance and i look forward to your feedback.
Sorry, i forgot to ask,
What base would you prefer??
*GB 2.3.6
*CM7.2
*ICS 4.0.*
*CM9
The WIP name for the theme will be "moist couch".

Set 1 by far. Looks more professional to me.

1....10 char

Set 1, the second one does not feel pleasant to the eyes.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

As people above stated, definitely set 1 , looks more professional and more pleasing to the eye... At least to us, I guess

Yea dully mate set 1 looks hot. A theme with that would be nice. optional colours sounds even better.

Yeah thats what i thought,
I had already started overhauling the framework-res with style 1 but i didn't want to get too deep in to find out there would be no interest.
Here's a preview of the btn_check/circle/close/ that ive done so far, this might help make your decision slightly easier:

Awesome
I prefer ICS 4.0.3 base.

Lol sorry I was agreeing with the consensus, #1! And what you put up a couple posts ago! I'm on cm9 alpha love that highlight color your using. Used your themes on GB too thanks for all your great work bro!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

Since at the moment most people are using CheckRom v6 or Hyperdroid v6 i would say GB base and maybe later if you have the time port it to ICS Samsung stock since I personally think that in the end most people prefer stock rather than Cyanogen if they want something more stable and fluid...
And I also voted for the first set

Ok so style 1 is 3x more popular than style 2 but i thought style 1 was lacking something, a bit of colour maybe on the normal button?? Anyways......
Style v1.1:
Better, Worse??
Thanks.

Haha thats what i do.
I prefer v1.1 for reasons you stated, im all about the colour.
Someone(quite a few) asked me to create something simple but with colour.
TBH, i probably wont even use the theme after i've created it, im still using Phone Candy and probably still will long after Moist Couch is released thats why im asking.

[PROPOSAL] Solar Flare ICON SET

I was playing around today with photoshop and I cam up with a possible idea for a new icon pack I would call Solar Flare (or something )
Version 1:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Version 2:
The icons would all be with the black background.
If enough people like this, I will make it into a pack

Great work, but not exactly my case, because that reminds me of the most go launcher themes, that had Icons that looked like this, but there surely will be enough people that think differently
I would suggest though, that you put all your icons into one thread, because that way its easier to keep track of your work, rather than searching for each icon set, but just a suggestion.

version 2... dooooo iiiiiitt!!!

Yes, you're right about the one thread thing. I will probably have to do that soon-ish cause I am already getting lost around here
As for the Go launcher thing...you know what, I might just make it into one of those and see how it goes

I think these are pretty nice. I would probably prefer them without the background however, but that's just a matter of personal taste.
Excellent work.

These are great I like version 2, I will be keeping an eye out for these
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

hmmm i like
keep doing and post them into first post...
Can we suggest apps ?

Glad you guys like it. I worked a bit on it and I think I got the final version ready. Will work on them during the weekend hopefully...I'm really busy at work and spending the evening with my girlfriend (beats making icons )
Here's the final version:
Will let you know when it's all done.
PS: I have about 100 icons that will get into this pack. After that, you can post requests.

These look really good man, I say do it. Really think these would look brilliant on my dock

Here's another idea - compare these three:
V1 (download and try on a dark background):
V2:
V3:
Will work a bit more. Maybe I can get the nice gold without the background but it proves quite hard because the way I made the flame circle...

V2!!! Wonder what an ICS Blue flare would look like...

Can't wait for these! Roll on monday!

Chameleon Launcher 2 on N4

Being a KS backer for the Chameleon, they released the Chameleon Launcher 2, which can also be used on phones. I have been playing with it for a day and so far so good. I actually like it better for the phone than my N7. I'm all for custom stuff, but this launcher is pretty clean and IMO works pretty well for a simple layout design.
http://www.chameleonlauncher.com/thelab/chameleon-launcher-2/
Here's a screenie.
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

I want to give it a try but Im not a backer, so we'll have to wait at least a couple of weeks so they can release to everyone else. Sad.

I took a look on the tablet launcher and found it interesting, don't know about phone version yet.
It would be great if you release a trial or demo version, it is going to be a paid app.

Horrible Launcher.

Really? I don't find the slowness. That would be my first gripe, but I can really say it aint slow! lol Compared to other launchers, its on par IMO.
Can you elaborate on deeply flawed as well? Bugs, yes, it's a bit buggy, but it's still beta-ish.
Is it great? I say no because it doesn't give you the ultimate flexibility like Nova Prime or Apex and Go Launcher does, but that's the great thing about this environment. It's all about choice.
You ask me right now do I use it as a daily driver? No I use Nova with a bunch of UCCW widgets running on the launcher. It's fully custom to my taste and I find it hard pressed to go away with it because of the amount of time it took me to have it look and work a certain way.
Bottom line, this is a good starter launcher and I have to really say it isn't slow for me. Can you describe the slowness?

You're probably talking about chameleon launcher 1, becouse the second revision is great ( even though I haven't tried personally ).

Looks great. Thanks for the share. Shame it's restricted to Kick starter backers only. I would have paid for this.

Can you specify which bugs you're referring to or what exactly makes it "deeply flawed?"
If it doesn't provide features that you would prefer, that's one thing, but to call it buggy and flawed feels disingenuous at best.

looks clean and all but ive already paid for nova prime when it was a quarter.

In vicino we trust!

I backed Chameleon on KS when I had an Asus Infinity tablet. It looked kind of cool and I really wanted to try it. It was far buggier then than this new version that works on my Nexus 4. I didn't end up using it much on my tablet, but I have been using it for a couple of days on my phone. It's not perfect, but it does work pretty well. The thing I like most about it? It's DIFFERENT!

I think he's talking about the first version, which I agree with him whole heartedly that it just sucks lol. But like the other member said, CL2 works a bit better on the phone. I can attest. Is it buggy, yes, but it's waaay better than the tablet version V was talking about and linked to.

But it is relevant to the newer version are they gonna release a buggy launcher, fix a few of the many bugs then nothing for 6 months? I am certainly not going to pay for an app whose developer has that history.
