Hi all,
Here is my Nexus 7 'Hubs UI Layout'
Idea for this has been taken from the iconia A500 thread (can also find tuts and vids on how to do this) here
Basically each screen has a theme, each screen has a folder of wallpapers it cycles through and at the bottom are buttons that take you to the screen with that name.
Screenshots and vids below:
{
"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"
}
And heres an example of it on my mobile (lantern corps setup)
Not too shabby.

That looks really nice; you've done a really great job with the layout on all the screens.
Looks really nice. Can this be setup in portrait mode or does it have to be landscape?

Yeah you can do it in portrait, just move everything around they way you like
what app was used to achieve the search bar?
thanks
This is GORGEOUS.
Thanks for posting. I love the idea, and the... well everything. LOL. :good:
IV used hub layouts on many devices, it's very productive if set up properly. There's plenty of YouTube videos, took me like 2 hours to do on my transformer can't wait to do it on my n7 when it arrives. I was hoping to be the first but j guess u beat me to it. It's basically a bunch of shortcuts and widgets placed in an xbmc organized fashion.
I've used hubs from my a500 days. I don't care for it anymore but I do still use multi picture live wallpaper, it does excellent wallpaper picture resizing over the stock method.

It takes a lot of work to do these kind of setups lol I remember doing something like this through lp+ with moving wallpapers.. etc.
anyway, here's my nexus 7 thing of it. I like widgets @[email protected] so a lot of widgets on mine!
Portrait Mode, NO Tablet UI?
Can this be done in Portrait mode with ADW EX, but NOT using the Tablet UI (160dpi)?
I don't like the tablet UI much...really want my keys centered.
Having a hard time making the status bar disappear with in in normal mode (213dpi), but the status bar goes away just fine in tablet ui (160dpi).

My setup works with it in portrait. I personally don't like much of landscape either but currently the wallpapers I chose look really nice in landscape lol :victory: I'll upload a video in a sec.
You can do this with ADW EX, Nova, Apex etc. so that all comes down to what you would like. Your status bar can be disabled depending on your launcher options I believe. I admit it's a little bit of a hassle on Apex considering I don't see an actual option to say "Keep launcher at fullscreen" or "Disable statusbar". Either way, whenever you launch an app that isn't fullscreen anyway it will make the status bar pop up..

I guess what I am looking for is a direct jump to screen without seeing any transition whatsoever. I can't figure a way to do this for anything. Any ideas or luck with this? In your YouTube video you could still see the transitions between screens... These still show even when transition effect is set to none.

You can use ADW launcher and change screen transition speed to 0 to make it jump straight to page without any animation

Using ADWLAUNCHER I still have that status bar showing at the top of my tablet when I am in portrait mode. When I try to disable this, it removes the notifications, but does not remove the bar up top.
Any idea on how to remove that on portrait mode without switching to tablet ui?

Closest thing I know is on Apex Settings -> Homescreen Settings ->Minimum Scrolling Time -> 1 (setting this to 0 actually puts an animation). Transitions when pressing the screen buttons should be pretty instant
You might also want to turn off wallpaper scrolling if that's the case. Best I can come up with. sorry
To me, i really love this. Its kind of like a windows theme. Mainly for media users of the device. Sadly, i cant work with it, saying im a power user running apps, games blah blah. Nice work thougb

Okay, finally rooted my arc, and I wanted to have a semi-transparant notificationbar.
That worked well with apps like gmail and market like this:
But it doesn't work with my Launcher, than it looks like this:
Does any one know if I am doing something wrong or is it something LauncherPro Launcher can't handle? If so, which Launcher can, I tried GO Launcher without any luck, only the default Sony Launcher worked, but I want to use my own dock and scrollable widgets.
Any suggestions are welcome!
Cheers,
Arnold
I believe LauncherPro crops wallpapers, so it could be that your statusbar is transparent, there's just nothing behind it.
Try switching to an alternative launcher (even the stock SE one) to test it.
To be honest, in the long run, you'd be better off finding an alternative to LauncherPro, it's stagnated.
No idea about cropping, I tested a few free launchers from the market in the meantime, Sony Arc default launcher and Regina Launcher can handle the statusbar as I wanted, but they have to little options for my likings...
Thanks anyway for replying. I also posted in the UOT topic, maybe there is something else I can do.
I know Launcher Pro is stagnated, but the scrollable widgets and possibilities to customize is still keeping me at LP.....besides I am Dutch and I paid for it
LauncherPro is certainly odd in the way it does stuff.
I know from experience that it doesn't draw the app drawer background behind the statusbar, so I wouldn't be surprised if it handled wallpapers a wee bit differently too.
I used to swear by LauncherPro, I tried ADW, Go, Zeam etc and wasn't impressed but over time they've improved and LauncherPro hasn't.
The only two things I miss about LauncherPro are the ability to hide apps in the app drawer and the widgets you get with the Pro version.
In terms of customisability, I don't think it really is that much better than the rest of them - most launchers share most of the same options.
And which launcher is able to keep my own dock like pic2 in my first post and can handle the customized statusbar? That would be great....
sent from arc or optimus 2x
I thought ADW did but after a second look it doesn't, my mistake.
edit: no, I was right - ADW EX does (that's the paid version).
ADW is open-sourced so as well as the main one (ADW EX), there are a number of other docks based on it's code. I'm using one of those spin-offs, so I don't have all the same options.
Tested adw ex for a few minutes, really annoying you don't have proper time to test, but I am almost certain the statusbar can't be changed neither, I have the same as launcher pro.
Tried zeam launcher as well, but there you can't use custom dock....lol, I quess its not possible what I want...
Thanks for replying though, appreciated much!

You're welcome.
Sorry you couldn't find an answer to your problem.
Hopefully there is someone out there who knows a launcher which I can use my transparent statusbar and my Dutch dock as well...
Cheers again.

Launcher pro does support transparent status bar.
statusbar_background.png editted and note paper wallpaper added to homescreen for purpose of screenshot.
From left to right = 100% transparent, white, black, red, green, yellow.
Bottom half = 50% transparent. See below

}
But I get a horrible effect when loading web pages.
The http address bar header drops down to reveal the status bar but behind it is another http address bar header. I assume this is just a htc thing that may not effect you though. See below
I just start using multi picture live paper which also gives me the result I was looking for. Thanks for your reply

Glad you got it fixed. MultiPictureLiveWallpaper (really good app
) was going to be my next suggestion to discover if transparency was enable in your framework.

Yeah I know that's what's happening.
I don't mean to be rude about the guy, what he's done is amazing, but the longer it drags on, the harder I find it to believe that this mythical new version is actually on it's way...
@Pollpix: how exactly did you get your statusbar to look like this?
what did you use to change the statusbar itself?
I used uot kitchen, set transparent statusbar, color white, put it I think on 20%, used multi picture wall paper and with this greyish background it looks like this. Also I used icons for white status bar in the kitchen and put the time on blackish, like rgb 30,30,30, so together with this 20% transparency it is still visible when using black apps like tapatalk. The font is Sony sketch obviously... Hope this helps...

Hey guys what launcher does everyone use? I love the app draw but with Google search and the large dock it seems to fill most the screen?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I use the standard launcher. Dont see the point in changing the launcher myself.
Adw
I'm using the above. Used to use launcher pro and this previously. This opens up a bit more screen, you still lose the top but can select no dock. I like a minimal look
Using stock atm. Have to admit laucnher pro looks awesome on the massive screen but I missed the stock app drawer eye-candy-ice-cream goodness...
I quite like that slidescreen pro but find it a little impractical.
I love the stock one, but the only thing that annoys me is the fact you can't delete empty home screens!
Using ADW Ex
ADW Ex, because I can customize it the way I want and because I can backup settings, handy when flashing ROMs and wiping data often.

Funny, thats exactly the way ADW looks like on my Transformer. Weird to have the App Drawer at the top left but I've adjusted. The developer was supposed to include options to hide the top section.
What I do, for the bottom dock, is use the Second dock. The second dock allows lots of icons. I think I have like 15 on my transformer's 10" screen. I just learned to use the built in app drawer icon at the top.
This might be awkward with 1 handed operation though.
So that strange section at the top is automatically added when you use a 3rd Party Launcher? What are the icons on the right side of it for? The one in the middle seems to be a gallery icon
ADW EX
Then go into presets, and select FAST
my goodness, this option brings another meaning to FAST!
I'm using go launcher because I didn't like the large dock and not being able to use the whole screen. The transition effects are awesome.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to post screen shots of the launchers used to give people an idea of how they look?
I'm not sure how to do it.
I go to the upload from gallery bit. it says
Upload via tap talk then it brings up some stuff with img and lots of numbers
Then I say submit and it doesn't do it?

What is this Second dock?
An app to replace the default dock from the default launcher?

I've reverted to the stock ICS launcher after trying Go, which I'd use (and love) on my CM7 Desire. I like how slick ICS is, but would love to be able to choose the number of homescreens as well have them loop. The quick and tidy stock folder system is excellent, a real shame Go Launcher loses that.
Didn't like the action bar at the top of ADW EX on my Transformer, like it even less on a phone.
Hopefully launcher devs will throw themselves into ICS-centric products sooner rather than later. The modded Gingerbread look seems so old hat now!
I prefer the stock ICS launcher.
I'd like to be able to customize the number of home screens, but outside of that, it does everything I need.
I advise Go Launcher EX! ICS+Go launcher are working perfectly together
ADW had an update yesterday. It look spretty good. Personally, I don't favor the ICS launcher...
ADW EX has been updated for ICS. Now uses HW Acceleration. No more top bar...

Subscribed I was looking for one that disables wallpaper scrolling to test live wallpaper performance.
Edit: Awesome stuff, apart from Microbes, no stuttering when swiping between homescreens with the new scrolling behaviour.
Using a 5x5 layout, marvelous use of that large screen.
Nice icon btw

A novice question, is this launcher gpu accelerated? Or it's relying on the force gpu option?
Wow excellent launcher! Nice work and thanks!
Just wondering if you could add the option to have the persistent google search thingy... I kind of got used to it.
Also the ability to stick your folders into the app drawer would be nice as well.

Would it be possible to fit the market shortcut back into the app draw? maybe near the settings icon? I kinda liked that, and used it all the time.
Nice! I like where this is heading. I would love too see the ability to choose how many home screens to have, and the ability to create folders in the app drawer (10p sale has filled it right up!)
There's a problem with the icons, whatever I changed it wont register and it restored back to default every reboot. I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but I've tested it few times already.

Some bugs
First of all thanks for this great mod, I think it has great potential.
After setting up my Homescreens I found some bugs.
1. If I disable wallpaper scrolling after some time the wallpaper isn´t anymore centered.
2. After a reboot, there are some widgets disappeared from the Homescreens. After readding the widgets, this happens again after a reboot.
3. One time happend (after switching from market back to homescreen) that the searchbar widget comes back on top of my homescreens and it overlaps it with my widgets.
If I find another bugs, I will report them again.
Thanks again and keep working on it!
Edit: The issue under 2 appears when u add the widgets the 'old way' by long-pressing on home screen. If u add them through the app drawer they are still there after a reboot.

Great launcher but I've got a couple of suggestions:
Although everyone seemed to hate the search bar at the top I'd kinda got used to it and now miss it so an option to keep it there would be great.
How about having a homescreen Scroll effect the same as the one in the app drawer?
Other than that keep up the good work!

Agreed, miss my search bar
Excellent, I've been looking for something that would essentially just remove the search bar
However 2 things would be great
1) An option to set the number of home screens
2) For some reason I can't use Desktop Visualiser to replace the stock icons at the bottom. On the ICS launcher I can choose "Desktop VisulizR" to add a custom shortcut, small enough to replace Phone, Contacts etc. But for some reason this widget doesn't show in Nova launcher.
Great work, looking forward to full release.

I don't use the black background cuz I like it, it's because WP clock does not properly work on the Nitro. When using WP Clock with a background image, the image will not fill the whole screen, but leaves this little space at the bottom about half the height of the dock, so it looks somewhat funny.

Ok, I've got nothing to "flaunt", but I am finally happy with my lockscreen =) For whatever reason, I felt compelled to tinker with the lock screen a bit, so I'm sharing what I did-
I use the lock pattern, but I hate the dots, hate the carrier, hate the line separating the time and the dots, and hate the emergency call button. Ugly... So I changed them all =)
Changed PNGs to transparent dots
Removed carrier in lock screen (as well as notification bar from before) - XML edit
Made the separator line super faint (turns out I like a tiny bit of line =) ) - PNG swap
Removed emergency call button so it only appears after failed pattern unlock - XML edit
I know where the dots are, so I just have them appear only when pressed (but even then, I made them more transparent)
Now I'm happy =)
looks pretty schnazzy in here!

No screen shots to provide but I have tried a few combinations of having different widgets but found it slows down the phone enough for me to notice lag. For example, once I add a full calendar widget to one of the home screen the switch between screens becomes laggy. Does that happen with you guys too?

What launcher are you using? It really depends on the launcher. And have you done a hard reset on your phone after rooting? Doing a hard reset significantly improve the smoothness of the phone.

I'm using Go Launcher. Tried out LauncherPro but it wasn't as smooth. I have done a hard reset as well after rooting. I noticed the biggest difference after freezing some apps. Still, if I add a large calendar widget there is a noticeable lag. Maybe I'm expecting too much.

Me too! Looks great
Go Launcher is so much better than the paid version of ADW Launcher

Mos Def. I just wish their app drawer can be much smoother. One thing I like about Launcher Pro was how smooth the transitioning is and scrolling.
Hey, guys!
I'm looking for a native function to take screenshots (it appears in system/app), but I can't find the right combo for that.

Same here. Zeam.

It seems Zeam Launcher is getting quite the follower now might have to give it a try too.
I tried zeam, but (and I know this is messed up) I liked the bloat of Go Launcher. I like Go Widgets too much and Go Locker.

HUBS FOR GALAXY NEXUS
So some of you may know if you have asus transformers or other tablets, but fliparsonal created the hubs layout and I have "ported it over to the galaxy nexus.
So thank you so much to fliparsonal for the wonderful idea and here is a video tutorial for fliparsonals meathod

update
I have done a new version of the layout with the backgrounds having the hubs layout on them so that no widgets are used for all you intense flashers out there. here it is
{
"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_share": "Share",

if you liked this click thanks
it no longer does landscape
also I forgot to add if you would like to see this work with launchers like apex or nova to get more of an ics feel you should go vote on their suggestion sites
here http://novalauncher.uservoice.com/forums/145180-nova-launcher
and here http://apexlauncher.uservoice.com/forums/146396-general-feedback
and vote to have shortcuts to different homescreens (at this point it would be easier for it to work with nova launcher since it already has customizable icons but apex launcher should be getting that soon)
Wow that looks pretty cool!
Cheers for the guide, I have used this as inspiration for my home screens, I'm still working on a few bits but will post screenshots later.
Little preview
Landscape does not work at all with this setup though

This is why you need to go vote in nova launchers suggestions for nova launcher to have shortcuts to different home screens because nova allows some basic widget backup

Working on a new work around for this, and it should also improve battery life, and possibly amount of time to set up (for everyone but me). The basic idea is this, instead of using a widget to cover up the home screen icons, edit your wallpaper to cover up the icons and have that as the style instead. I havent had much time to work with this yet but i will hopefully get this up and running soon. But i have tested and the shortcuts do survive a wipe if you just backup adw, so you shouldnt have to do any work to set this up after flashing things.
created a work around heres the background... image still needs some editting as it does not like up quiet right with actions

How did you get vertical text in large font size? Every time i use Simple Text to make Custom shortcuts in ADW Launcher, the text is small with no way to resize it = [

well you need to have the ability to switch between screens with shortcuts but as long as you have that it doesnt matter
I got adw and didn't have the same actions, I tried adw ex and made everything but I couldn't move the minimalistic text on the invisible space? Ha for some reason I can't get this

What you have to do is resize it to cover over it and that is how you move it over. The youtube video is a bit better to see how to do this.
That's what I did and when I did it still wouldn't let me.
