Hi all I really love my nexus 7 but I kind of boring of Jelly Bean user interface and I want something more like Windows 8 Live tiles and colors. Maybe you people know some themes for Nexus 7 which make just like Windows 8 look ?
LAUNCHER 7 uses wp7 interface, and you can lock screen orientation to landscape that way it will look like windows 8,but the app isn't optimized for tablets and the icons end up looking big. I tried the king it to look like windows 8 but it didn't look that great. If you want to see it, I posted it in the home screen thread on here. Just search my post history

I hear ya... Having options is always a good thing.
Madphone is currently working on getting TouchWiz ported over. TouchWiz is definitely not the same as Windows 8 but it will give our Nexus 7 interface a different look and a different feel. You can read more about it here:

Open Play Store and download one of many available launchers
Launcher7
iLauncher
MIUI Launcher
TouchWiz Launcher
Go Launcher
There are also 3D launchers, simple launchers, etc.
Then a plethora of widgets to mix it all up even more.

check out SS launcher. it is probably THE most customizable launcher out there. takes some time to set up but the finished product is amazing.
i had a setup on my TF300 that was similar to the WP8 look, it would be easy enough to get that look with this launcher though.

I know launcher pro, and other docks, don't have an option with 4 shortcuts on the dock like this. At least not with big icons. Sort of like an iPhone. I love everything about my Evo, but I REALLY wish there was something like this. As far as I know, this isn't a screenshot. It's just shopped.
But does anyone know of ANY way this could be done?

LP can do that with the real icons. Mine has five though.
How would you go to the app drawer?

No. Launcher Pro is a very tiny confined dock. It also has 5 icons, which makes the dock even tinier. I'm looking for a big dock, which supports 4 icons, just like the picture I posted.
Does anyone know of such a thing?
And you would just make a shortcut to the app drawer.... How else? lol
Touchwiz launcher from the galaxy s phones. Tons of roms include it (you can unzip and grab the apk out) and I've seen it around here a bit.
If you can't find it pm me and I can send it when I'm at my computer. (couple of days, I'm on holiday)

Evo-Nonsense Rom has the TouchWiz launcher built in, and it is a very nice rom.
What if you make a dock in photoshop with 4 big icons and then assign invisible shortcuts to them?

what i don't understand is you spent SOOO much time insulting someone else about how they did something and then talk about how they photoshopped the screenshot.. if you don't know how to do something and that particular person doesn't respond to you, use your brain and start figuring things out...
launcher pro allows you to create your own custom dock... just like the member before me stated.. use photoshop or gimp or whateva editting program you like, and start with a transparent background... then create WHATEVER you want on it.. when your done, save as png and then send to ur phone.. go into launcher pro preferences > appearance settings > Dock background > custom.. and then select the dock you created...
after you've done all that, use transparent icons over the ones you made on your custom dock, and there you have it... all that height limit **** you was talkin goes right out the window..
if you look at my dock, the word "Phone" and "Apps" are a lot larger then most people who use word icons.. thats because mine aren't icons.. its a dock i made and added transparent icons over the word phone and the word apps..
i hope now you understand, and you don't have to continue your BS investigation on how he got 4 icons on there and how they are the size they are...
(oh.. and please don't say anything about me being a hero user and not an evo user, cause launcher pro is still launcher pro no matter which phone u use)
try the miui port. the launcher in that rom is really comparable to an iphone. I don't have a link on me but its in the development section.

hi to all,
there is a lots of launcher on android market. I just want the best visual looking Launcher ?? anyone can help !!
As far as i know .. Go launcher is the best looking ??
Depends on what you define a visually the best. Go is more polished than ADW or Launcher Pro. But the last 2 can be customized more with themes, although Go is catching up really fast. Then you have SPB Shell 3D, which I think is the best looking, but personally I like the Go experience more all together.

Go is great for themes and such, different ones released all the time and often free. ADW and vtlauncher share a base but go completely different directions. ADW is closer to go and vtl is really good if your a landscape lover. More functions than looks though.
DxTop is one I thought looked slick (enough so I remember the name and have been considering jumping to it. Oh and zeam launcher. There was one I found and I swear it was CClauncher but its gone from market or, and more likely, I have the name wrong. I have GO as fallback but the only way you'll find what appeals to you is through trial and error imo
There is endless choice and all appeal to different folk for different reasons.

ATOM Launcher. Amazing.
It would be great for people to share their home screen setups, I'm interested to see what is possible with ICS
Unfortunately I can't attach my screenshot as I can't post external links yet.
You can take a screenshot within ICS by pressing the volume down button and power button at the same time.

I am loving the new stack widgets that ICS offers, but I was on a honeycomb tablet yesterday and it had a stack widget for the Android Marketplace - any chance of getting this on the nexus?

Unless I have got it wrong :/ - I believe a stack widget is one like the YouTube, Gallery and Google photos widgets that come as standard where you can scroll thru them?

My marketplace widget looks like the below, so I was just wondering if they could be stackable tiles that I can easily flick through
I don't know why the ICS Market Widget isn't "scrollable" or "stackable" like the Honeycomb one....
Perhaps they can copy it over. I'm sure there is a backup of HC 3.2 Widgets in an installable APK file.

Bit late now for a reply but I thought I would in case anyone else had the same question.
The widget you showed is the play market widget, the stack widget is the previous (better in my opinion) market widget. To get the stack able widget you must revert back to android market (which would not be recommended, and if if possible probably difficult) or find the old widget from somewhere else, if not as an apk maybe found in an old rom. Hope I helped.

NOTE: HiSMS is an free alternative to GoSMS Pro and the paid theme. However, I had issues sending texts from the app. The app would crash on a send and end up never sending the text. This was frustrating so I decided to go with GoSMS Pro plus themes.

yeah that is pretty much why i did it. HAHA. all of my friends have iPhone 5's and i am showing them the power of Android. You can make your phone be anything you want it to be. I switch homescreens so much, this will likely be gone off of my phone in a few days.
The control center app is great... I prefer to swipe up rather then down for quick settings and that app hits it on the head.
rather impressed by it

How did you get the app icons on iLauncher to look identical to iOS? I have the app right now, and they are similar to the original but are still different.
