Help to make LockScreen and homescreen - Galaxy S III Themes and Apps

Hi
I hope some one in here is gonna make a video how to use make a nice and simpelt homescreen and lockscreen.
- I'm an old IOS user and went over to android now, but i can't really find any good guides how to make a good homescreen and lockscreen that is simpel and sexy..
Maybe some like the files i have attached.

There is no real guide to do that.
Simply just search for clock widgets in google play or try some different launchers, thats how the two linked homescreens were made

Clean up a Rom?

What I meen by that is for the new Rom for Droid incredible with the ring for the lock screen 3.0? Idk
But I was wondering if it would be hard to take things out of it?
Like I think that app draw looks like booty but Idk anything about Rom making/editing and I don't want to bother any devs lol
So would this be hard for someone new?

I'm not really sure what you're asking but it isn't difficult to take things like apps out of a rom, but if you're talking about changing the appearance of it (as in themeing) that can be trickier. You should be able to change what you need with a different launcher or themes, mods, etc.
He does not like the pages in the app drawer and wishes to know if it is hard/possible to remove parts of a rom such as the app drawer. My suggestion is that he looks at one of the alternate launchers like launcher pro. It doesn't seem that hard but it also seems like to remove things like the rosie will cause fc and boot loops.

+1 Go with one of the different launcher in the market. They're very easy to use and should give you all that you need.

some roms offer a mod to disable the paginated drawer i think

How can I change the lockscreen on ICS ROMS?

What are the steps that need to be taken to modify the lockscreen - to change to a different one on ICS ROM's?
Have you went to the play store and tried GO Locker?
Widget Locker is a good one also. Everything you need to know on the how too's are in the app. Pretty simple.
Thank you both! Much appreciated.

Latest update lets you resize widgets.
Make sure you turn off native lock screen though.

Blinkfeed widget?

Is there a way someone could make a blinkfeed widget so we can still have it on like nova or apex launcher?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you need the Sense launcher to run Sense widgets due to them needing HTC's framework.
Maybe the flipboard widget is an alternative?
Blink Feed is basically an amalgam of Flipboard and Pulse. Though I find Pulse's layout easier to digest, their widgets leave a lot to be desired. Amy suggestions on alternatives for third party launchers?

Nova Launcher
I am a bit stuck on this too. I really prefer the Apex Launcher but I am liking blinkfeed as well... I am hoping someone can find a way to make them play nice together...

I don't understand why this can't be done.
all we need is a shortcut to the feed. in theory, even with nova Orr similar running, blink feed is still doing its thing in the background, we just can't get to it.
I'm sure some one like nova could do:
say you have 3 home screens set, instead of infinite scroll,
you could have the left most side of home screen one set as a shortcut.
I then you could set the short cut to blink feed (or anything else you might want to use)
it would be pretty much the same as we have but with a custom launcher.
does that make sense?
this is already possible with thde MoDaCo tool kit. check out 3:16 on this video

I use adw and make a custom shortcut for the HTC launcher. I delete all screens with only blink.

Best solution out there. I too love Blinkfeed, but prefer other launchers over the Sense launcher, mainly for things like custom grid sizes and being able to feed my addiction on mycolorscreen.com.
Incidentally, I use Nova and a custom shortcut - same thing.

[Q] How can I achieve this layout on android?

Hi , I saw this layout on someone's iphone - http://i.imgur.com/cZBoGeA.png and I really liked it.

I google the screen you show and what i can see the icons are called "Custom Gotham icons"..
You can achieve this pretty easily, with the exception of the extreme upper and extreme lower portions, for those you'd need to install a different launcher on Android like Nova Launcher.
I'm really not a fan of those though, so to achieve the other 90% of it, you'd just need the background wallpaper, then use Zooper to make the clock widget, and although you could use Zooper to make the icon layout(s), I would say that once you have the icon set and/or icon images, using an app called Quick Shortcut Maker is the best way to make/set/assign custom icons for every app on your phone.
However depending on how many icons you want in the rows/columns, Zooper maybe the only way to go if you want a configuration other than what your stock launcher offers.

Weather Widget

Hello,
I have downloaded and flashed the newest Malaysk ROM. I want to know if I can change the stock weather app, which you can see in the stock widget, because it is not working properly. Do you have a modified weather app or another one which I can put in the stock widget. I don't want to use an app with an alternative widget.
Sorry for my bad english.

No it is no possible. This 'weather widget' is not widget at all but built-in to JY launcher.
Also the weather uses Yahoo servers and reportedly there is some issue with servers, so we hope it will be resolved in due time.

Description is bit unclear for me, but it looks like you can get something with it....
You may try and post results here.
Ooh, I literally just installed my new head unit and was wondering about this. As long as the servers get sorted soon so that the weather widget actually works then that will be great!

Looks like it is new launcher, with weather/radio/etc. auto-changing widget that can be moved around as normal widget, removed completely if you wish and replaced / complemented with any other weather or other widget...

Seems nice, but it would be great if you can implement this widget into the other launchers (stock, etc.)

If I understood good this Russian forum, it is implemented as standard widget in this launcher. So if you install it, possibly try to install it as normal application not to replace system launcher, then it may have that widget available to any other launcher you choose.

It works, but has 1024 resolution. As said above you can select your own widgets to be placed
where you like them to be. I hope there will be a 800 version soon.
Does it have a way of hidding status bar?
And, obviously I have to go back home after picking audio source correct? How does it handle previous audio source, does it turn it off before the new one is enabled? Looks interesting, and the media buttons only affect the selected source?
And what about Pandora, Spotify and other 3rd party players, can they be added to this? Both have widgets...

I would appreciate if you keep your eyes open for a 800 version. This is really an improvement to the home screen.

Most likely because this is a 1024 while your screen is 800 resolution.

Unfortunately you cant choose the widget in another launcher.
Is it possible to make a new apk which looks like the one attached and has the widget from the russian forum?
Also it would be good if you have on one side the weather widget and on the other side the widget which changes between weather, radio, etc.
Also, I tested it and it wouldnt change radio stations. I could only press the station number and radio would open, but that's what the radio icon is for... LOL
Sticking with Next Launcher, never seen a nicer launcher since Apex Launcher.
