Here are some of the customizations I've done to my Galaxy Ace to make the start screen look like a WP7/Windows 8.
I added my own designs on top of the launcher 7 app, and I think it looks pretty sleek:

How-to guide:
What you'll need:
Launcher 7
WP7Lock (Lite or Pro)
-an additional file has been attached-
View attachment 1210724
1. Install both of the applications from the list above.
2. On your PC, extract the zip archive that's attached.
3. Copy over the Launcher7Backups and bluetooth folders to the root of your SD card.
4. Set the Windows-8-CP-Lockscreen.jpg file found in the bluetooth folder as your wallpaper.
5. To confirm the lockscreen is going to use the wallpaper, open WP7Lock and make sure the option Use system background is checked.
6. Open Launcher 7, press the menu key (left soft key) and tap Launcher 7 settings.
7. Choose Backup/Restore, pick Restore, and choose the backup from the list with my nickname on it.
Restart both of the apps, and you're set!

It's going to take me a day to package it up and export it from Launcher 7
and to export the lock screen image (because it's all over my computer and the phone's SD card),
but you should all have it on here by July 21.

heres the zip
heres the zip for the dark blue edged icons
this one is still incomplete though
These are perfect. How do I use them? Unzip them and stick them in which folder?
Well I tend to just use them as desktop icons (not On appdrawer) so if your using nova or adw you can just long press the icon and then edit and select the image from the gallery.

Once I get the chance I'll try and make them cwm flashble. But right now im gonna work On getting more icons
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Actually, I use Nova and the way you say is fine because I prefer the app drawer icons stock. These will look great on the homescreen and the dock.
yeah im using them with frost theme and they look great, i just added a whole bunch more as well

These are amazing. Any chance you could do a tapatalk icon?

Hello,
I just made an app (a "Daydream") that will allow you to know the battery level of your phone while charging!
Once the phone has finished charging, you can select a custom font and size to display the result, so you know exactly when to pick it up!

Just tried this. Only changes what is written in the search field. You still have to say OK Google.

File Save Problem
Every time I try to edit the file, when trying to save it, it says file save error or file could not be saved depending on the program I use. Does anyone know how I might fix this?
The file that needed to be edited is in a different location on my Nexus 7 with 4.3.1
Here is a screenshot for anyone who needs it..

2 install HTC framework and then install the prism.apk and the weather .apk

No no... You got it wrong.
What I meant to say is that I appreciate the share for I wanted to try this blinkfeed thing for quite some time now..... Now that I've experienced it I don't find it that interesting as a launcher... Just another news feed reader in my homescreen.
I don't know why I'm spreading my thoughts rather than cheering for the app!
Apologies if I expressed too much.
