[App][2.3+][Alpha] Looking For Players

LFP (Looking for Players) is a simple app that helps gamers find each other. It tries to emulate the bulletins boards in real life. LFP does not require an account to use but does require a persistent Internet connection. The three tabs (Response, Post, and Search) contain all of the functionality of the application.
Response lists the games you have listed with a list of people that are interested in playing that game with you. Tapping the X next to the game title removes the listing while the x next to a name removes that user. This list refreshes every time the app starts and every 15 minutes if left open.
Post allows you add a game to the server specifying the game, in-game name, platform, days and the approximate starting time. Anything posted is automatically deleted after one week.
Search goes through the available listings and returns a list grouped by time. All times are corrected for the local time zone. Clicking a listing within the group generates a dialog to notify the person that you are interested in gaming at that time.
Currently, I want to know:
• How responsive the app is.
• Is LFP intuitive to use?
• Are the colors appealing? How can I improve the theme, nothing too fancy for I am not an artist.
• Does this app accomplish its goal of being a bulletin board for gamers?
• If this was in the app store how much would you pay for it?
• Bugs and annoyances.
This was designed for use on a phone but it does run on tablets but its not coded to take advantage of the additional space.
**EDIT** This is the alpha so there isn't a large user base so there are 0 posts at the moment. Therefore everyone needs to post and search for the same 5 games: Pirate Sushi, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 3, Roller Rally:Snake Pass, Combat Wings: The Great Battles of WWII, and Quarrel.

Thanks for your work!

Cool idea!

Thanks, I'm contacting people on that UI designer list to create a new color scheme for this app. That's a common complaint. Which is not surprising at all really.

Very responsive, haven't ran into any glitches yet

[APP] KitKat Launcher+

I'd like to start by saying this isn't my app. I'm just sharing its existence with users here, since I know many of us want to use GEL badly, but it lacks some core features we all have grown to require before considering using a launcher as our daily driver.

Description
This is the new KitKat Launcher compiled straight from AOSP. KitKat Launcher+ focuses on clean and stable features that keep true to the stock KitKat experience. Great customization without having to deal with all the bloat commonly found in other launchers. Guaranteed to be fast and smooth.
Please Note: KitKat Launcher+ is available for devices with Android 4.1.2. and later. However, since AOSP is directed to Android 4.4 you will have the best experience on Android 4.4 and on Google devices (Nexus 4/5). Officially AOSP Launcher3 does not support landscape mode or tablets. Your milage will vary.
Feel free to e-mail me about bugs and crashes but only when you were able to reproduce the bug and/or have an error message. If the launcher crashes from the start it might not be compatible with your device!

Gonna try this one, I just update to 4.4.2 and my GEL is gone, but there are some things I didn't like about it anyways example, the icon size looks awful in nexus 4, tends to be slow sometimes, hope this offer the best of both words, gel transparency and faster access to Google now and better looking icons for my nexus 4 + some Google to turn off some features.
Reporting back after testing.

I can't add forum shortcuts (tapatalk pro)? Others with same problem? Thought it maybe was because I hadn't purchased the pro version, but no luck!

[APP CONCEPT] Quantum Paper (New upcoming UI) design app concepts (added Twitter)

Quantum Paper App Concepts
For those who don't know Quantum Paper is the rumoured new user interface which most likely will be seen in the upcoming version Android and on other platforms, for more information head over to Android Police. Additionally the newest leak of the Android 'L' release has shown that status bar will not have the gradient shade behind it, therefore all the concepts have been updated to match it.
Using the known information I decided to put together a few concepts for Apps based on the Quantum Paper design.

Keep in mind the Quantum Paper versions of these apps don't exist (at least yet), this is just a concept. However there is a guide thread on how to make your app have the Quantum Paper like UI.

If you'd like to see other Quantum Paper UI app concepts feel free to ask, there is a chance I could make it

reserved

Sounds like an interesting concept, I really have to admit I occassionally give a good look to other OSes' user interfaces too, sometimes even like them more. This seems to be an effort to help adjust that.
I personally don't mind seeing things improve, the UI is the part you see the most in Android so I could go with some cleaning-up anytime. I think we all remember how big of a change 4.4 was when it came out.

Added QuickPic, opinions always welcome! :good:

Are you in mind to make a flashable zip or theme?

I would love for that to happen however it isn't possible at this moment in time, this is just a graphical concept, a theme similar to it could be made, but I don't have the skills for doing so

[Theme][Icon pack][WIP] Updated the 3/02 - Moonshine ported to EMUI's theme engine

Hi everyone.
THIS PROJECT IS ON HIATUS FOR AN UNDETERMINED TIME SINCE I HAVE TO DEAL WITH SOME STUFF ON BIGGER PROJECTS AND WITH MY OWN LIFE
Updated the 3rd of February - More icons ported!
I currently am working on a massive project. I'm trying to port the well-known, beautiful, colourful, Moonshine icon pack by Valliant Pixels to the EMUI theme engine.
What's done so far?
For now I've only ported the dynamic calendar icons and apps from A to D. Wallpapers aren't done yet. The preview images are ready but are squeezed due to their wide resolution. (They're taken from the Play Store.)
How does it look like so far?

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see on the second screenshot, two of the themed icons (These are the only apps I have that are modified by Valliant pixels for the current version.) are modified.
The other apps will have the default EMUI icons.
(I know, my dark status bar battery icon isn't right but I'm too lazy to edit its icons.)
Where can I get it?
Click here. (13.2 MB, Google Drive link.)
How to install:
1) Copy or cut the .hwt file you've downloaded.
2) Put it either in your SD card or in your phone's internal storage in the "HWThemes". If it does not exists, create it.
3) Go into your theme manager (The Theme app) and go in the "Mine" tab.
4) If you don't have any particular theme applied (If you use the default theme), tap on "Moonshine icon pack" (The preview image isn't ready.) and tap on "Apply".
If you only want to change the icons, tap on "Customize", "Icons", and tap on the little "More >" button. Then go and select "Moonshine icon pack" and apply it.
What will be done?
More icons added to the theme, every wallpapers available in it, and updates as Valliant Pixels update their app.
Anyone would be interested into that?
Note: It might not work on devices running EMUI 2 and below. I only tested on EMUI 4.0 through my Huawei P8. (I'm posting this here because there are no P8 forums on XDA. )

Looks good !
Thanks a lot
I use Nova with moonshine so now i have also the same icon on system

Well thank you too for using it and for your feedback!

**Very** happy to find this thread!
Hope you do not quit!
I have attempted to do a similar 'port'... ran into the problem of needing to duplicate icons with different names to cover all the areas that EMUI shows icons.
Keep it up!

For now I'm on a hiatus on it. I got some stuff to deal with in other projects and in my life.
Glad to see it made you happy!
