Nova Launcher and Kitkat?? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi, I just recently updated to the official cm11 nightly, however I find that the nova launcher is basically still themed as JB instead of KK.
Both the status bar and navigation bar are pure solid black instead of half transparent. Is there a way to fix this? I tried to download those themes for nova launcher and none of them make it half transparent like stock launcher does.

Gingerbread launcher images

360 Launcher (translated version) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345601
Why not make it a poll? That'd be easier to see with more and more people voting.
I use Nova Prime. Sometimes a little laggy, but the fact that I can hide aps plus the gestures control is a huge plus.
nova prime is awesome bt sometimes it reloads the widgets which is a pain...but 360 launcher is one awesome stuff!
Trebuchet & Apex are both nice. Apex causes little bit lag in my Arc, but works great
ok.. i looked for this APEX launcher that ppl recommended and... i can't download him in google play?~~ they said this application is not for my phone?! wtf? i need flash him or what?
do you like apex launcher ?

Trebuchet for me too.
-Trebuchet launcher has a nifty feature: A google search bar that sticks on all screens without wasting any widget space.
-Samsung Touchvis S3 is very smooth on ICS compared with stock.
-Go Ex is also good, lots of niffty extras (but a bug with Xperia bookmark widgets on ICS.
-Apex and Nova almost sama same, nice also but not so smooth scrolling on LT15.
PS. all lauchers can be used with on-screen-button (from 22dpi to 45dpi but the hang-up button will be covered on .431 firmware, so I went to settings in the phone (ICS) and chosed "hang-up with hardware button" and now its GOOD.

Apex Launcher question

I've recently installed Apex Launcher on my N7 and am very pleased with the extreme customization options with the exception of one thing, its petty, but it bothers me.
With the Apex Launcher lock screen, there is no option to directly unlock to google now. Does anyone know of a workaround to make that happen?
I have looked all over the Apex options but cannot find any answer. Thanks

AFAIK, Apex Launcher does not have a custom lock screen It still uses the stock one, or whatever custom lockscreen you are using.
Maybe you have installed a custom one? Or are you using a ROM with a customizable lockscreen?
Lockscreen is part of the rom, look in your rom's lockscreen settings if you're on a rom with a customisable lockscreen eg. CM10, AOKP, CNA based roms
What are you talking about? Apex doesn't affect the lockscreen. I m on stock with apex n I can slide it up n unlock to Google just fine.

Instead of starting a new thread about apex launcher I hope I can borrow your thread.
I have a question about Apex and N7, on my other devices I can hide the statusbar, but not on N7.
It works fine with Nova, but it lacks some settings.
Can you all hide the statusbar with apex and Nexus 7?

Under behavior settings I have a swipe up gesture set to toggle status bar. Works. I swipe up and status bar shows. swipe up again and it hides.
Not sure if it would help, but somewhere under Apex's options is the ability to use Beta updates instead of Stable. The latest Beta updates were re-build with Jellybean launcher standards instead, which may help with things I guess.

[APP] AOSP Launcher3 apk , Drawer 5x5 Layout

This is 4.4 KitKat Launcher without Google Now integration. Extracted from Paranoid Android AOSP 4.4 Rom. You can install as normal APK.
This Launcher will be helpful who don't want to use hotword detection and Gnow integration as they are increase battery usage so much.
Also there is no need to change LCD density for 5x5 app drawer layout.
Works great for me thanks.
Do we need to replace & install it with root explorer adding premissions, or just like normal apk?

Just like normal apk

You don't need to flash modified framework zip as Google already did for Nexus4 on 4.4.1. Just flash latest 4.4.1 OTA and install Launcher3 as normal apk. You will have translucent nav and status bar on both Lock Screen and Home screen.
Will this launcher replace original one or just be installed like nova for example?
Installed it like any other apk. transparecy is cool but icons are too big, thanx anyway.

The icons looks little blurred when the dpi is set to 180. Do we have any workaround to correct it? The icons are displayed properly with Nova, but not with Google Now Launcher and Launcher3.
Works great for me thanks.
I'm recreating the apk file with material design. I'll make a download link available if it works.

Transparent topbar with custom wallpaper?

Hey guys
I just got my G Pad 8.3 2 days ago, and now I want to use a custom wallpaper, since I don't like the stock ones that much.
But whenever I change to a custom wallpaper the topbar is no longer transparent. Is there a way to fix this, without rooting?
I would like to kepp my warranty and use the fabric installed OS.
I have a Galaxy S4 where I don't have this problem.
I tested Apex launcher at that solved it, but for some reason I don't like the feel of Apex launcher. It feels different than the stock launcher which i would like to keep.
Thanks in advance

Give Nova a try. I use it to hide the bar and it works good.

Maybe it does, but I would like to keep the stock launcher if possible.
Strange, I have stock 4.4.2 with stock LG launcher and I got transparent notification bar always, regardless of how I change my wallpaper (through menu or from gallery). I remember even with the "old" stock 4.1 it was anlways transparent.
