I like the new interface. Ties in well with the Google Now traffic/commute card. Also seems smoother/quicker than the previous version. I see why Google made such a big deal about it at I/O.
Edit: Looks like the Navigation UI was updated as well! Idk if it's placebo or what but it also seems like the transition between Maps and Nav is a lot quicker now as well (both opening and exiting Nav).

Now this is nice, very nice. Interface reorganization was a must from the old maps. I like the way it transitions to Navigation like it's seamless. Before it felt as though I was using Maps to find my route and let it open another app to navigate me. Now it feels more streamlined, liking it so far.
Thanks OP for upping this!

Less colour but looks good.
I cant find streetview mode

I get instant locks now... used to take a few seconds. Now I just open maps and boom... It's locked. Nice. Thanks OP

What about streetview in the Version.
I cant finde ich

Really like the new u.i . is laggy as hell when using satellite view though

I really like the new interface! If this is what we can expect of KLP visually, its worth the wait.

They removed offline apps. I'm not normally one to complain, but that is awful. They might add it back, but removing such an important feature (especially while I'm in a foreign country ) is extremely annoying!
Looks good though, the design aesthetic is nice.

where the hell is latitude :/

Can't seem to install it

Stunning Live Wallpaper

This just looks gorgeous on AMOLED. And requires no permissions.
And why aren't you in "Themes & apps" ?

It really does look good, however, it crashes 10 seconds after I set it as my background. Looks like its not compatible with ICS yet and the last update was August 2011... Thanks for sharing though.
Oh man, lame. Anyone else confirm this? Any ICS users should email the dev with the android go play google play market app and ask him to update!

This developer has the best live wallpapers. I've have tried almost all of his collection.
Same here - looks nice, crashed. I sent the bug report, I guess it should help to fix the problem (ArrayIndexOutOfBounds).
ive tried it, and i like it. thank you.
nice sharing, beautiful indeed
Amazing look!!!!!!! So happy I didn't install ICS yet...

You can add Taptu as well. Its a Google Currents type app, but i personally think its better.

Minimalistic Text support would be absolutely awesome to have. But let's give the dev some time, they may be already working on that.
Moreover, it would be good if we could freely arrange widgets to have more than one on a page - e.g. the digital clock plus the calendar underneath. I don't know about stock, but I bet that the 4.2-based CM for example will have this when it comes out.
P.S. A different wallpaper for the lock screen would also be a nice feature, although this is not very related to widgets... In this line of thought, I wanted to try Widget Locker, but the absence of a free version to try drove me out of this idea.
Just added UCCW to the list
Added Sports category
Cricket, it is!

If it's on a Nexus 7, it should be compatible. And it costs $1.00.

i found setting the FPS cap to 35 makes it much smoother. 60 is just overkill but 30 is too noticeable for my eyes.

Google is pretty good in kicking off the higher market's devices standards, Nexus is that brand of this purpose. And now maybe they'll warm up world's laptop, nettop, netbook, or whatever! :laugh:

IMO - it looks pretty cool.. would be more for "flashAholics" since most of us cant stay on a single ROM for too long !
nothing feels better than going back to a simple AOSP ROM , and the freshness ! hehehe...
but yeah i would try this
Yeah, that's the thing, I tried a whole buncha ROMs. I mean A LOT. Then, I played with my friend's phone while at work the other day. I managed to convince him to exchange with my N4 for an entire weekend. This thing really grows on you especially the lock screen where Frog did the most ingenuity, its pretty intuitive as to speak. As for the icons for the apps, I think they need better aesthetics and arrangement. They did Blinkfeed even before HTC even tried.
Imagine this on a Nexus 4 hardware, the experience would be fluidity at its peak. Forget butter, I'm talking about industrial strength lubricant.
To me it seems like a modded version of android. As you can see our uses the same messaging app. Looks nice though

I think the lockscreen would be an interesting change to use, but IMHO, the 'basic-ness' of the desktop screams "CUSTOMIZE ME!" to a mod junkie like myself. It would be a good port if you/me/somebody could figure out how to personalize all the UI aspects, like background, colors, fonts, etc.
