Google Search - Latest Update
v3.1.8​
Changes:
It officially brings Search version 3 (3.1.8 to be exact) that shipped in KitKat to all devices running 4.1+. This includes an updated UI, new refresh animation, among other things.
Because Search houses the Google Experience Launcher (GEL) inside, this update also brings GEL to all devices running Android 4.1+. All you need to do after installing Search 3.1.8 is install the launcher app from here, and voila - GEL for all, not just KitKat devices. I have it running on 4.1, 4.3, and 4.4 on both phones and tablets, and it finally looks perfect.
As I mentioned above, 3.1.8 completely fixes the wonky GEL layout on tablets. As you may have seen yesterday, several things on the Nexus 7, for example, were out of whack - the keyboard was popping when you tapped Home, the icons were old, and the Search box was off-center. All fixed.
Remember: GEL does support transparency in the navigation and status bars, but you need KitKat for that to work. And Google disabled it system-wide on the Nexus 10.
New cards:
Website update card
News topic card
What to watch card
Traffic incidents using Waze on maps.
Recurring reminders.
Real-time scores for rugby teams
See when your packages are ready for in-store pickup.
You can now bring back dismissed cards by pressing Undo.

From the FAQs from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507748
7. How do I make the launcher icons smaller?
In order to make them smaller you have to use Xposed Framework + Xposed App Settings to lower the DPI on the launcher.
You can get the latest Xposed Framework HERE. If you don't know what Xposed Framework is, please take a look at this post HERE.
Follow the instructions in the link above to get Xposed Framework installed. Once everything is done, open Xposed Framework go to Downloads and install App Settings.
After done installing, go back to Xposed Framework > Modules, and enable App Settings.
Reboot your Device.
Once Done rebooting, open App Settings and select Google Seach (the blue icon) Thanks to bakercj for clarifying this one.
Turn it on and change the DPI
400 DPI = 6 icons in the dock and App Drawer Grid 5x6
320 DPI = 7 icons in the dock and App Drawer Grid 6x7
Make sure to tell it to save, and then go back to the home screen. If it didn't take effect, reboot your device.

android L launcher

I modded the original Google Search apk from Play Store for adding the new Android L material drawables as well as the new voice command sounds.
I know there's a thread showing how to enable material design on the Android L launcher from the system dump, but that will probably not fully work on your device (No "Ok Google" hotword and Google Now issues). This is the regular version from Play Store modded to look exactly like the actual Android L launcher.

[APP] Samsung Galaxy S5's Download booster and Launcher For Htc one

How to Get the Samsung Galaxy S5's Download Booster & Launcher on Your HTC One​
Samsung may not be the best when it comes to redesigning their devices (hopefully that will change with Galaxy Note 4), but they do have a knack for including some pretty awesome features into their TouchWiz software.
In its latest version, the one that shipped with the Galaxy S5, they included Download Booster. This feature uses both your mobile data and Wi-Fi to increase your download speeds for files (but not streaming, unfortunately).
While we can't grab the official Download Booster on our HTC One, there is a very similar app that does the same thing called Super Download, which kicks in right when a download starts. That means there is not much set up needed once installed.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Here is the Video Tutorial
A Big Thanks To the GadgetHacks ( For his awesome Tutorial) :angel:
Step 1: Install Super Download
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Super Download is the work of developer @elban , who has been kind enough to release a fully featured free version of this app for XDA members, which you can grab over in his thread. If you're not on XDA, you can also grab a free version on Google Play, which has a 50MB file size limit, as well as the full paid version. Those links are below.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The free .apk from XDA will install like normal as long as you have installation from "Unknown sources" enabled.
Now when you download a file through Chrome or any other browser, Super Download will kick in and activate both your mobile and Wi-Fi data. You can also share download links to Super Download by using the share button from any app.
Along with Super Download, I will show you how to get the new TouchWiz launcher and AccuWeather widget that shipped with the Galaxy S5. All of this is compatible with the HTC One M7 and M8, as long as they are rooted with a custom recovery installed :- The Tutorial is here Thanks to @BD619
Step 2: Installing TouchWiz Launcher & Weather Widget
The TouchWiz launcher isn't as straightforward to install like Super Download, so we will need to flash it from recovery. The man behind the port, developer Dhairya Gandhi, created two versions of the launcher. The main difference between the two is that V1 has apps and widgets tabbed in the app drawer and V2 does not.
TouchWiz Launcher V1
TouchWiz Launcher V2
There is only one weather widget version out there, so if you would like to install it, use the link below.
Galaxy S5 AccuWeather Widget
Step 3: Flashing in Recovery
Both the launcher and weather widget can be flashed at the same time, but first we will need to boot into recovery. To get there, press and hold the Power and Volume down buttons for 15 seconds and select Recovery from the bootloader menu.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In recovery, tap Install and select the TouchWiz launcher. After you Swipe to Confirm Flash and the flash finishes, tap Home and repeat the process with the weather widget. Once the weather widget is done installing, tap Wipe Cache/Dalvik and then Reboot System.
Step 4: Reset Your Default Launcher
After the reboot, you'll still have the Sense launcher as your default launcher, so change that from Settings -> Personalize -> Home screen.
And that covers it. The launcher works just like the Sense Launcher with the added bonus of having some extra view options in the app drawer. :laugh: :victory:
Well, its a worth trying
thanks for this tutorial

What Am I Doing Wrong?
Ok I just installed this theme and for some reason, some items updated and others did not. For example, the phone Icon updated bu the app drawer Icon did not update. I have no "Home" option in the settings menu and I do not have any transparent menu bars. I followed the installation exactly. I also installed the Update after installing the original theme. Still no dice.
I am running the latest .15 OTA update on Kit Kat. Deodexed per instructions.

Translucent bars are dependent on whatever Home launcher you are using. Also "Home" option in the settings menu will only appear if you have more then one Home launcher installed. Neither of these are a part, or controlled, by this theme. You'll need to use a 3rd party launcher.
In the screenshots I'm using Google Now Launcher

Android L style recent apps for nokia X/XL

Every device is getting lollipop these days but our x and xl's dont even have a decent kitkat rom.
The most we've done to our popular 4.1.2 roms is theme it like lollipop using launchers apps xposed and stuff.
One of the best things new in the new android 5.0 is the stylish recent apps panel. I did a lot of googling and here im going to teach how to install 5.0 recent apps panel in any custom rom and even stock rom.
Prerequisites:
1- Fancy app switcher
(Im too lazy to post a link so go to play store type the app name and download the app at top of the list)
2- Xposed module.(ya'll know how to install it)
3- gravitybox(found im the download section of xposed app)
Now lets begin.
1 - install the fancy switcher app.
2- install xposed. (If you dont know how to do this step shame on you. [emoji14] )
3- now install gravitybox and activate it in xpose module.
4- open gravitybox go to navigation key actions.
5- now in the back key long press action(as we dont have a recent apps key) select fancy app switcher as default app.
6- now long press the back key and bam.......
( if you are using a nav bar select the function of recent key as fancy app switcher)
Credits to jeremy kabiche for creating such an awesome app and me myself for wasting almost half and hour googling and writing this tutorial.

Hell yeah! Thank you.
Only issue I've run into is camera layout is a little janky. (Camera shutter button in middle of the screen)
edit: I'm an idiot and didn't know why I didn't try this myself but I'm also posting this message to help others.
Obviously this is due to DPI settings and perfectly correctable with the App Setting Xposed module and setting the camera app to ~550-575.

Samsung Theme Store
This is exactly what im looking for in a ROM. Thank you. However, i have purchased a lot of themes and would like to use them. Is there any patches/mods/apks etc that you have to get the theme store back working on this ROM? Right now the app is removed and force closes settings when clicked on.

Thank you. Sorry to be a pain..i tried googling it to find it but i could only find one that would not install for me. Do you happen to have it so i could install it?
So i checked it over and Samsung Billing is already in this ROM. What isnt is ThemeCenter and ThemeStore. I added those both to System/priv-app and now tje Theme Store does not crash. However, when trying to start using the store, an error pops up as follows, "The device ID is more then 20 bytes". TW SLIM v1.3 etc...so im guessing the device ID used in creating the ROM is too large. Is there a simple way to edit the device ID in build prop to make it work without issue?

After just renaming to the actual device ID of SM-G928P. I was able to use the theme store with no issues. So anyone out there also wanting to use theme store with this rom, you need both ThemeStore_3xh.apk and ThemeCenter.apk as well as to change the device ID in system/build.prop
Thread closed as it will not be supported going forward.
