BlackUiInspirant
On mycolorscreen
Preamble:
This was designed for the full screen of the Nexus 4, so it works best with a ROM that supports full-screen mode a.k.a. PIE. It should look ok with the status- and navbar but everything might get a bit small .
Requirements:
- A custom launcher like Apex, Nova, etc. For this tutorial I'll be using Apex
- Zooper Widget Pro
- Media Utilities
- BalckUiInspirant_by_kwerdenker_2_40.zip
- Tasker, if you want the settings panel
Step 0:
Install all necessary apps (if you haven't already). Enter Media Utilities after you have installed it, go into settings and check Zooper under the "Application integration" category and Make coverart available under "Experimental features at the bottom.
Step 1:
Download the zip to your phone, extract the content and put the *.zw files into /sdcard/ZooperWidget/Templates/.
Step 2:
Go into the settings of your custom launcher. Set the grid of your homescreen to 10x6 (10 rows, 6 columns). If it's supported by your launcher, you should also hide the dock. (Bonus: In Apex under "Dock settings", check "Dock as overlay" and under "Behavior Settings" set some gesture do "Toggle dock. This way you can put your app shortcuts into the dock and show/hide it via gesture)
Step 3:
On your homescreen, long press to bring up the menu and select Wallpapers, then choose Gallery and navigate to where you've extracted the zip file to. There select the wallpaper and resize the box to cover the whole screen. Finish with "Ok".
Step 4:
Long press again to bring up the menu, select Widgets->Zooper Widget Pro->7x2. Tap on the resulting widget, select "SD card" and then choose BlackUI_Clock. If you want, you can select "Widget OnTap Action" in the next screen and choose something you want launched when the widget is tapped. Your alarm app for instance. If you are done, just exit the setup screen by pressing the back key. The clock widget should now be on your screen. If not, wait a second and it should pop up. Now position the widget where you want it to be on your screen. On my screen, it sits right in middle
Step 5:
Add another widget, this time choose BlackUI_Music. Nothing to setup here, just exit the setup screen again and put it where you want it.
Step 6:
Another widget, this time choose BlackUI_Weather. Again, not much to setup. So back to the homescreen and position it.
Step 7:
Can you guess it? Right, another widget, BlackUI_Calendar this time. Before you exit this one though, you should select "Calendar to display" and check the calendars you want to display on this widget. You can also setup an OnTap action to open your calendar application if you want.
For everyone without tasker, this is as far as you gonna get. Sorry but Zooper currently does not support changing system settings by itself. For everyone else, here are the steps for the setting panel.
Step 8:
Put the ZW_Tasks.prj.xml in /sdcard/Tasker/projects/. Open Tasker, press the home icon, tap "Import" and then select the ZW_Tasks file. This should be all you have to do in Tasker.
If you can't see the file when trying to import it, make sure you have "Beginner Mode" unchecked in the settings of Tasker. Thanks to haelmchen for finding this.
Step 9:
Add a Zooper widget (7x2, like the others), select BlackUi_Settings and exit back to your homescreen. Try the WIFI toggle and see if it works.
And that's about it. Enjoy your new homescreen and if you have any questions (or just want to show off your setup), feel free to post to this thread

I just checked and everything needed (bitmaps, fonts, icons, etc) is in fact in the Zooper template files (.zw). You can only import those with the Pro version of Zooper though.

On the music one?... Ah, damn. I missed a step in the tutorial! Sorry, my bad I will update it immediately. The missing step is:
Enter Media Utilities after you have installed it, go into settings and check Zooper under the "Application integration" category and Make coverart available under "Experimental features at the bottom.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After that the folder icon should be replaced by the actual album art and the music info should be updated when a song is played.
Again, sorry for missing that step. I'm probably just to just to used to this setup

Also you have to be part of the Zooper beta program for the album art to correctly work. The public release with that feature is expect for this weekend.

The music panel is not right either but I dont mind that as Im not planning on using it..
The settings panel is the one, I can add it but the icons are folders, when I toggle a setting the folder is there - ON or missing - OFF

Ok this is really strange. I double-checked and the needed resources are in the .zw files. Let me re-export and re-upload everything. First time I worked with Zooper, might have done something wrong on my end.

I checked the beta group for pointers and it seems I didn't read an important bullet-point on the last beta version announcement Basically because of some changes in handling of bitmaps, *all* templates created with the beta version are not compatible with the current market version. You'll have to wait until version 2.40 is released in the next two days.
I'll put a note next to the download until that happens. Sorry for the inconvenience.
You can´t add a 7x2 widget on a screen with only 6 columns.
How do I import this data into Tasker? Ok I fond the import button. But then i cant find the xml file. The folder where it should be, is empty

On launchers like Apex or Nova that should work. Alternatively, since these widgets cover the whole width anyway you could just increase the column count to 7. Makes no difference for the widgets

Did you copy it to the folder mentioned in the step? I sometimes had problems importing stuff in Tasker from other folders than it's own.
Did everything like you said in OP.

Hmm... then I'm currently out of ideas to be honest. When I long-press the home icon in the lower-left corner and choose import, the file is there like it's supposed to. Does the file still has the .prj.xml file extension?
I managed it now. All I had to do was turning of the Beginners Mode. Then instantly it found the xml file

Great find! Will add this to the tutorial :good:
When the settings widget is finished, will it be possible to change some switches, e.g. sync to bluetooth?
edit: in your mycolorscreen profile you wrote you were using PA 3.96. Just to get any confusion out of the way, i´m sure you meant 3.69
Good Morning
Can this also work on a SGS 3? i tried to copy the BlackUiInspirant zip on the sd card but the b***ch wont let me also on my phone. Any Ideas?

Hello everyone!
We have developed a new launcher once again! This is not the standard launcher that everyone makes. This is a Honeycomb Launcher. This launcher basically clones Android 3.0 Honeycomb as best as possible! Although this launcher is new, it clones Android 3.0 very well. Every update will bring more resemblance to0!
Anyways, the launcher is available on the Android Market now. All you have to do is search for Honeycomb Launcher. We have a BETA version which we run all of our tests on and a Donate version which is more stable and keeps our development going!
Honeycomb Launcher has many features that are in Android 3.0 and which are not in other launchers such as quick menus and much more. But one of the main features of this launcher is the girds for icons and widgets. The Portrait grid is a 10x10 and the landscape grid is 10x8. Which this means is the size and spots available for icons. The large grid-views will allow for you to place your icons and widgets in almost any place you want!
Screen shots are below!

really neato!
Just one thing: Whenever I want to move anything (either it be from the homescreens or from the app drawer)it lags a lot for like 3 seconds.
Also, sometimes when dragging from the AppDrawer it FCes.
HTC Wildifire
Stock 2.2.1
EDIT: Also, whenever I try to tick any of the settings in the Customise Honeycomb menu, I get FCed.
Ya we are fixing that! It is because of the grid size : (
but it is easy to fix. All you have to do is drag a widget on the screen and a few icons. Once you put a few icons and what not on the screen it speeds up quite a bit!! It is really weird. Maybe because when there is not a lot on the screen it has a lot to move over to get to a designated spot.
But dont worry, we will fix it : )
Thank you for that info
I will keep track if this topic/launcher since it obviously has potential
Thank you!
If anyone has any requests or want anything to be added let us know and we will add it in future updates!
Well, for one I'd like to see it be fully supported in QVGA.
When in portrait a part of the screen is missing, to be more precise the "back" button part of the screen.

3.u shud add some real settings to launcher.... there's nothing in customize honeycomb menu.....
There's nothing which make a user to donate for it..... do check above problems.... n add something pretty impressive to its UI...

I tried this and to be honest, the soft keys need some work, they just seem kinda unfinished in my opinion, they need to be bolded or something along those lines.
new setting nevr applies and it force closes
and hide notification dosnt even work
Hey for those who did not like to the look of the softkeys or just wanna change them, or if you just wanna make the add button more visible etc i have a way. Okay all you have to do is open the apk archive in 7zip and then follow these steps.
For example, to change the home key from the white and gray preset to the well known blueish-transparent download the hc3d add-ons (just search on xda). Next you need to double click res in the 7zip archive. After that click the drawable_hdpi folder once and drag it to your desktop. After that, locate the image you wanna use (i recommend the hc3d add ons) and copy and paste it into your desktop shortcut. Next, delete the current home_dock_button and rename your copy/pasted file as home_dock_button. You can also open them up and edit them to the proper size. (WRITE DOWN THE SIZES YOU NEED BEFORE DELETING THE IMAGE.). You can also open your new image and edit color, etc. To make your buttons now visible (like when the add button is only half shown) go back into your drawable_hdpi and find the image called line_break. All you half to do is open it and edit it to whatever size you want. i used 455x36. After you have edited whatever you want drag and drop the drawble_hdpi back into the 7zip archive for the apk. After this copy and paste back into your sd card.
If you try to install after this it will not work so you will need to download two apps. The first is signapktic and the second is Linda Manager (or any file manager of your choice). Open signapktic and locate the file you want then just go through its steps. This will resign the apk so it can be installed. Finally just open up your file manager, install, and enjoy. You will have to follow these steps evertime you try to edit a png/xml in the app so it is quite a tedious process.

Hiding the drawer icon is definitely something I'm considering However I have a few ideas to improve it as well, perhaps a sort of "quick launch bar" in a row where the icon is currently located.

No problem buddy! Im trying to find more bugs and ways to make it better...Last night when I downloaded the APK and tried to install it my phone wouldn't let me cuz it said "App not installed. An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed." The way I tried to install it was using Root Explorer and just over writing the app by installing the new APK but i guess something is going wrong with the signature cuz ive never seen this happen...so I just went to the playstore and uninstalled it from there and re-installed the new copy from there....But i still have one more issue. Whenever you install a new launcher from the play store and immediately after you click the home button the OS prompts you which launcher do you want to use..i have 3 launchers installed (Nova, Chameleon, & Tile) But the OS never prompts me which launcher do I wanna use...
UPDATE: Alright so I got it working now. Android now prompts for the launcher >>> https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Byxlw5J4qbOvZDNKY21yV282TGM
But one more bug I found is that whenver you go to the widgets in the app drawer and you drag for example Airdroid 4x1 Widget Tile Launcher crashes.
This is extremely promising... Keep this up, if you play you're cards right, you may just have the most "innovative" launcher out there

Hmm ok. Are you on ICS? Dropping widgets is still being worked on, added it to the known issues list now.
As for prompting for the launcher, it should prompt you every time you install a new launcher, strange if it didn't. It's possible to go to Apps -> Your current home launcher -> Clear defaults to make it prompt if that happens again.
I'll be returning home this weekend, hope to get a new build out soon Cheers

i love this launcher!!
here some ideas:
- make it more flexible (the user no more needs to sets numbers of colums and rows)
then:
- option to choose min tile size (width and height)
- option to choose from horizontal scrolling or vertical scrolling in home
- option to choose paginated scrolling (regardless scrolling orientation) in home
- drawer categories
- option to enable google search bar near the app drawer button
- option to replace the launcher menu in app drawer with google play shortcut (or another app)
- fix custom color (can't set a custom hex color on nexus s cm10)
add these features even in a paid version and i'll buy it
keep it on!!
Hey guys,
I love the DashClock widget and use it on my lockscreen as well as my homescreen. However, I feel that having the big clock on the homescreen is redundant and unnecessary. At the current moment DashClock does not have an option to disable the actual clock (that I am aware of). So I am looking for something that is essentially the same as DashClock but with just the notifications and no clock.

Hey guys,
I love the DashClock widget and use it on my lockscreen as well as my homescreen. However, I feel that having the big clock on the homescreen is redundant and unnecessary. At the current moment DashClock does not have an option to disable the actual clock (that I am aware of). So I am looking for something that is essentially the same as DashClock but with just the notifications and no clock.
Any help/input would be greatly appreciated.

I actually made a relatively trivial hack to DashClock Widget to do just this for my own use:
Lockscreen:
Homescreen:
When I get home, if interested, I can upload the tweaked apk.

Perfection! This is exactly what I'm looking for. Will it still have the transparent background on the homescreen though?
Thank you!

No problem. Transparency for the homescreen widget (I don't actually use there, just put it there for the screen cap), I believe is controlled / set via the 'Advanced' option in the widget setup.

Will this still allow me to keep the clock on the lockscreen version of the widget while removing the clock from the homescreen widget?

Right now it's removed wholesale, as it was a quick and dirty hack. Let me take a look and see if there is a way to discern where the widget is being displayed and programatically hide the clock instead.

Do you have location services disabled?
The widget queries for your location, in order to translate that location (latitude / longitude), into a woeid, that it then passes to yahoo weather to retrieve the weather data.
You can view your logcat to see the widget working to obtain your location etc, to know if it is working. For example, here is essentially the URL call being made on my phone:
http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=24700990
Are you able to access this URL from your phone? If so, there shouldn't be any reason weather can't be retrieved based on your location / woeid, unless yahoo simply can't find a valid location based on the data passed in.
EDIT: Well hell, I starting replying to this, got sidetracked, came back to finish, hit submit, and see it was essentially already answered

Okay, played around with the decompiled .smali code some more (rather than working from source), and I was able to "conditionally" control / set whether the clock & date appears based on whether the widget is displayed on the lockscreen versus home screen.
Lockscreen (with clock / date):
Home Screen (w/o clock / date):
This should pretty much be what you are looking for. As mentioned, I don't use this on the home screen, but for those that do, until / if this is supported in the actual app, it should hold those over looking for the widgets w/o the clock, etc, when displaying on the homescreen.
It's certainly possible I broke something in the process, hacking this in, so let me know if you see any issues.
Be sure to first uninstall your official version, and after installing the modded apk below (click to download / install from phone, or use adb to sideload), don't forget to hide the 'settings' icon in the Advanced drop down of dash clock widget as well.

Thank you so much. I am uninstalling the official one and giving this one a try right now. I will report back after doing some testing.
EDIT: I just went through the process of uninstalling the official widget, clearing cache/dalvik and then rebooting and installing your tweaked version. It looks to be working perfectly as advertised. I have the clock on the lock screen but not on the homescreen. I have tested notifications for email, missed call, and text messages. All are working just as they should.
Thanks a lot!

Give notification widget a try
Wrong thread
I've been an ADW EX user for a long time, and although I was going to give Touch wiz a chance, I just hate how you cannot customize the rows and columns of icons on the home screen. I didn't think air command would work with a 3rd party launcher, but to my delight, it does.
However, I can't use the Action Memo widgets with ADW, which is a bummer, because I really like being able to add quick notes and reminders to my home screen.
Anybody know of an alternative app that works in the same way, or know how to get Action Memo widgets to work on other launchers?
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk now Free
I'm using nova prime and action memo etc. all work fine for me..
The widget, or the app? The app still works. I just can't seem to add the widget to my home screen.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk now Free
Bump. Anybody know how to get Action Memo widgets on other launchers? Or know of any apps that offer the exact same functionality?
I would like to know a work around for this too. I use Nova launcher since note 2 and not having touchwiz widgets didn't really bother me then. Now it does. Only thing I don't like about touchwiz is not being able to have a custom grid. I might have to suck it up though.
Same problem
There used to be an S Notes "Page" widget as well, worked fine on other launchers - allowed you to create a resizable widget out of a single page of any s notes folder - which was great. Action Notes don't give you full drawing tools, S Notes do. So you could create a solid black background note that would blend in with your homescreen.
I may install old S Notes from my last Note 2 backup. Might be worth it over the cleanliness of the new one just to get those widgets back.
With S Note you can long-press the note's folder, change the name if you so desire, then long-press again and "add shortcut to home" and you will have an icon on your home screen for that note. Works well
With Action Memo you press the small icon at the top of the memo that is a box with small square in the upper right corner. That creates a small icon. Hit the home button and the Action Memo will close and you will have the small icon on the screen that can be moved and reopened at any time. Unfortunately there is no way to name the icon, but it does open directly to the memo. If you want to keep the icon you have to press the box again at the top of the memo while it is open or the icon will be gone once you close the memo.
Temp fix
Hi guy's.
Found a way around it sort of. I use Nova launcher prime, and also do not have the 4x3 widget. So what worked for me is to create the 1x1 shortcut widget and just re-size it to 4x3, click on it and start your memo.
I do not have any idea if ADW EX works the same but hope for your part it does.:good:

Please explain it step by step. I'm not able to resize the app icon and there is no "1x1 shortcut" widget?!
By the way... I'm using Google Keep instead of Action Memo. I'm using the App "Sketch for Keep" to write memos with the s-pen:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lv.piip.sketchforkeep
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOJoCzHiBcs
The Google Keep Widget is nice, but overall I'm not able to write Memos without unlocking the phone anymore (s-pen double click action is not changeable). But I can access/edit all my memos through the PC/Browser and I'm able to buy an other Android later or the Phone can be damaged without fearing to loose my memos.

Do you want to use the widget in the lockscreen? Or just normal use, and what type of launcher are you using at this moment?
Maybe there is a way, and i can help you.
I'm using Nova, too.
I don't mean a widget on the lockscreen. I mean the double-click shortcut with the s-pen. You are able to press the s-pen button and tap two times on the screen in every situation (lockscreen, apps, etc.).

Ok, so I took a look and mine seems to work in all ods, meaning double tapping the s-pen does open my action memo.
Is your nove launcher prime or free, and are you on stock TW rom or custom?
If on stock TW, I will post a video and show that it works and how to use it.
Sorry, my English is not the best. I didn't want to ask how to use the double-click action. This works as expected. I only wanted to say that it does not work with other Apps like Google Keep as Samsung does not allow to change the shortcut.
The only question I had was how did you solve to resize the app/widget. I've tried several ways (long press the app to copy it to the home screen, look through the widget menu, but there is no action memo widget, etc.). So what did you do to be able to resize the action memo icon?!

My mistake, sorry for that misunderstanding. So by using Nova Launcher prime 2.3, you basically just add a normal widget and at the top of the list is action memo. And then it will automatically show you the grid in witch you are able to re-size see attachment.
If this helped please say thanx.:good:

Ok so that's a bummer. What version of android do you have? 4.3?
Ok see if this works, go to your basic TW launcher and create then the action memo widget, go back to nova en in setting say import and choose basic TW launcher. that's how i got the widget.
Yes. 4.3.
Import? But this will overwrite my actual homescreen

My application manager does have all four Acton memo apps listed like yours. But like the other guy, action memo widget is not a choice when importing TW screen and restoring widgets. Nor is it a choice when creating new widgets. Any ideas?

Weather Information
You can add weather module to watch face,the weather information is broadcast by application on the phone. To receive this broadcast you need register. Weather action is :
String ACTION_WEATHER_CHANGE = "cn.indroid.action.weather.freshwidget";
The broadcast use JSON as data format:
weather_full: {conditions:"Cloudy",high:"22",low:"14",code:"26",temp_unit:"℃"}
conditions：current weather
high：high temperature
low：low temperature

Not that I know of the dial, background and hands are each separate images! Well I guess they could be the same image but might look a bit funny unless there is a way to use spite like data somehow? I'm looking into it, and I will keep posting the progress
I mean that having one watchface with the img files (dial, bg and hands) in a data folder on sdcard like x:/customwatchface/dial.img and not into the apk file, so we can change it when we want.

So, I gave this a shot, and I've easily made a watch face that I like, but getting the UCCW widget to allow me to add a saved widget is proving to be an issue for me. Would you mind maybe providing some instructions on how you got the widget onto the watch's home screen? What file(s) are you transferring to the watch and to what folder on the watch? I've tried the .zip, .uzip, and .uccw files for my saved widget with no luck. I've installed UCCW on the watch as well and all I get is a blank white widget and no option to choose my clock face.
BTW... I love the idea of being able to make our own faces using UCCW... just need to nail down how to make it available on the watch. Thanks for the tip!

Since it was a few months ago I can't remember if I sideloaded the UCCW app or loaded it from the Play Store. After I make the clock widget I save it as a .uzip and copy it from the uccwOutput folder on my phone and drop it into the uccwOutput folder on the watch. I open it with ESfile Explorer and click on the .uzip file. it opens the file as a png i believe. after that i close it out and move to the home screen and open a UCCW widget. After that I choose like a 2x2 size and the widget I made is in the list.
Another I go about it since I don't have access to a PC. I link my watch and my phone with the Screenshare app. I save the .uzip file to dropbox and use the screenshare browser to go to my dropbox and sync the page to the watch and download it straight to the watch. I've found just by clicking the uzip folder in the broswer download folder uploads it to UCCW on the watch without moving the file from folder to folder in the watch.
I also use Apex launcher as my default launcher. I hide the notification bar and the dock so the widget takes up the whole screen. I also have gestures to bring them back or to toggle settings or open apps.

There-in lies the issue... I was trying to load this UCCW widget in the stock launcher. I never get the selection option in the stock launcher so that's a no go for UCCW there. I may have to try Apex or try Nova again. I just felt that Nova was a bit overkill for something that is supposed to be elegantly simple. I wonder if there is another custom widget app that I can use to design the same watch face and apply it as a widget on the stock launcher?
