What Rom/Launcher is this Guy Using?

As the title states, what Rom/Launcher is this guy in the video using? The video is interesting iOS6 vs. Android arguement, but I'm not trying to start a debate here. Skip to 1:08 for the good stuff.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tQjE9h7jkA&feature=watch-vrec
Looks crazy, never seen anything like it. Whatever it is, I want it!

Why dont you ask that guy? And why dont you post in the q&a sections? So tired of noobs!

settle down there, champ. honest mistake on my part. MODs feel free to move or close if you feel this is "inappropriate"
sifted through about 5 pages of comments with others asking the same question but no replies

It's in the notes. Dark pie. It's just some images used with certain apps to create that look.

Thanks for the video. Some of my friends just came from the ios and this probably helps them adapt and realize the potential of androids. Although.. this is barely the tip of the iceberg

I subscribe to this guy and he is great for tech videos. He has a how to theme your phone like a boss, or close to that. I suggest you watch that.

Thanks!
I actually ran into the video last night as well and decided it a go. As mikeyinid said, it is simply a clever use of nova launcher, widget locker and some custom wallpapers. Armando gives a great walk-through on how to do this but the problem i ran into was the fact that this was built for a gnex, which has a nav bar. I realize we can enable ours as well (in AOSP ROMs) but I personally don't like the look of it. Without the nav bar, it causes the wallpapers and icons to become misaligned with the intended layout, so I decided to bail
Nevertheless, a very interesting setup. I recommend anyone who uses an AOSP ROM w/ a Nav Bar to give this theme a go. Be warned, there is quite a bit a setup time but should be well worth it in the end

I actually like the ui looks

Actually is easy since he gives all the backup files and you restore them with nova, I was going to keep it but the problem is the apps icons are too small, since you need to have 6 by 6 to run the on the launcher it doesn't work good for me, I use 6 by 4 on nova
This work better for me

I have the same theme on my phone. Only problems was the other two wallpapers & the lockscreen (didn't like the lockscreen anyway, so I kept my old one). I did remove all the other screens execpt the home screen. Also added a few wigets. I'm luvin' it.

He has really good instructions on how to do this, it requires a lot of time and patience.

JB leaked?

Been hearing reports that this could possibly be a leaked version..
Minus a few features..
How long till Sprint ponies up?

How is it leaked? Some people are getting the update directly from LG...

Just caught a post regarding missing JB clock and other features..someone stated a possible leaked, early version
Few articles popping up supporting this theory
Not to mention, folks are having a lot of difficulty installing manually
Just an FYI

What other features are missing? IMO JB clock isn't a big loss anyway, there are plenty of 3rd party imitators of it if you really need it. I haven't updated yet since I'm waiting on flashable zip, but it'd be disappointing if some important features were incomplete or left out. If it's just missing widgets then no big deal.

Rumor has it, LG has announced a leak..Sprint is still in the testing phase
Also reports suggest missing advanced Qslide functions

There is an official OTA out for JB. There is an update for the clock, but it doesnt remove it. We are working on a flashable rom right now.

Hold the home button to bring up the recent apps, there is now a blue Google button directly above the home button.
So if you hold home until it vibrates and then quickly drag your thumb up a half inch and release you get Google Now.

Hit the microphone at the top. No sliding required. They made it easier.
Also, the only feature out of all the features I the video we are missing is Qslide. I could be wrong, and if I am I am sure someone will be very quick to point it out.
As for the clock, is that a feature in the other optimus g jelly bean phones?

No, but seriously.
I work for Sprint. If I wanted to lie or exaggerate I would troll everyone and tell you all the update is out. But really, it's not. The real Jelly Bean update is not out. Neither Sprint, nor LG will tell you it is. It is not on any legitimate website, my internal sales portal, or anything else black OPs like.
There was an incomplete leak. Some people are using that through a manual update. They are doing so at their own risk. Period.

It'd be sad but at the same time bitterly humorous if someone secretly threw off a malware infested ROM that's harvesting information from our phones as we speak. In all likelihood it was probably just someone doing us a favor in the higher ups. Or LG just never told Sprint about the update and pushed it out on their own. I'm certainly glad we got it, leak or not.

I was curious how much was going to be included on that app since it was brand new.
I downloaded it and the first thing I did was open Google Now and say "note top self". It worked like a charm. Plus you can share notes with any one. It's definitely a go. It might even get the flossy seal of approval.

Google Now/Voice commands already has that feature (saying note to self) and keep is probably piggy backing on it.

Except previously, it would only email the note verses "Keep"-ing the note.
Evernote doesn't take advantage of note-to-self and also does not do speech-to-text transcription.

I have been using the app for the last two days and I really enjoy it lots of great points made but overall this app is from Google and has full Google now so support!
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium

Neemot, I really couldn't agree more. While the stock "memo" app is adequate the "Keep" app really excels. I too have been playing with it the last few days and it is awesome. If anyone is on the fence(which it is free so that makes no sense if you are) let me articulate why it is nice.
1. Ease of use. It is simple and uncomplicated. While some other note apps are cluttered with features this really shows less is more.
2. The ability to share. Great for families.
3. Universal voice to text.
4. Great widget.
5. Easy organization within the app.
One feature I would love to see is picture to text. My wife and I keep our grocery list on a white board in our kitchen. We usually just snap a photo of it as we head out the door. If that picture could be turned into a list on your phone that would be pretty dandy.
Well, that's my two cents. In short, Google Calendar and now Keep really help it busy family out.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium

Yes, I used the "note to self" a lot...didn't like that it went to email, now it's better. I can't wait til they update this more...hopefully they won't 'sunset' it like they've done to a lot of other things...

I would love to see Google Tasks get rolled into this, where you can add a datetime due date/reminder for a given Keep note.

It isn't any less private than the regular Facebook app. This is a really tiny launcher that just pulls everything from the app and displays it to you front and center. You can still access all the stuff on your phone easily, but I don't care that much about Facebook so I don't gain anything from using this. It's not bad, just not for me.

I think it would be nice on phones like the Galaxy Ace or a Wildfire S. Just the smaller lower end phones because i hang around with university girls all the time and thats what they have and they use them for Facebook 24-7. But im an 18 year old guy i dont use facebook much besides chatting and i don't exactly enjoy a distorted blown up cover photo that looks like it was taken with a potato as my background instead of the HD backgrounds im used to. I like the concept of the floating head chat just for multitasking but that's about it

[List] Must Have Nexus 7 Apps

I plan on transferring all of my apps and games over to my Nexus 7 with Paranoid Android ROM installed via Titanium Backup minus the Samsung only stuff in the coming days... figured I'd post this to give other people ideas about what to install on their amazing new devices since it can be time-consuming to search and navigate the market sometimes if you are new to the Android scene. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
Here are some screenshots of my Samsung Galaxy Note II smartphone as of 08.12.13. Four Apex Launcher Pro homescreens running in CleanROM V5.0 with Perseus Kernel V36.3... The screenshots include my most used and favorite apps somewhat sorted by category... have around 220 apps installed after months of stability and battery testing, but have narrowed it down to the best to be displayed on the 196 available spots due to the custom 7x7 grid... check it out if you need some new Android apps!
