Edit; nice launcher, has potential. An option to hide the launcher icon in top right and long press on screen to bring up list of apps to choose from. Hide status bar would be great to. Just some suggestions. Thanks for the launcher

Also add stacking / folder feature in a tile shape. Overall looks amazing.. I'll be taking screenshots & maybe make a video when you release new updates. I'm here if you need help! Tester/Graphic Design, ect.

Oh god you are the same dev that used to make those really nice notification drawer additions plus AOKP toggles to cm.*instant downloads the app*

Hey guys, here's a much improved alpha 2: Play Store Link
I am currently on a trip so will reply to comments and update main post when I get a chance
Small easter egg in this version: long click drawer to change to a 2nd home screen for your enjoyment. More coming soon!
EDIT: updated first post and switched to Play store link

It looks like the play store link hasn't updated yet..if its not active by tonight I'll upload a version elsewhere.
edit: Link has been updated

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

New Icon Concept
I got bored so I was playing around and came up with this. Didn't take me much time but if you like it let me know and ill put more details into it
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Byxlw5J4qbOveEFNdElEWjEwdWM

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!!

Install xposed framework and search for xbackground. It will change all your blank backgrounds including the settings menu.

The keypad background for the dialer is the "dialer_bg_port_top.png". The png is located in the "drawable-sw359dp-xxhdpi" folder of the SecContacts.apk. This png only changes the background behind the keypad numbers. The bottom row is controlled by "dialer_bg_port_bottom.png".
Have fun...

hey not that this really has anything to do with this but maybe you know, im trying to change the background on the text message notification,i have a theme that doesnt work very nicely witht the rom im on and it had it black with white text or maybe it was transparent but heres a screen shot. and i know that in the framework-res/res/drawable theres a xml document that is background_holo_dark witch is what is in myn that makes all the backgrounds black even for the dialer if you go to the domination thread for his theme theres mods on there one of them is black backgrounds if that helps you any im sure you could put whatever xml document you wanted in there but it would probably but that background threw the whole phone.

Interesting... I never messed with the message lock screen. Messing with an xml would either change more than you want or only change the color and transparency. In order to change to an image the framework xml would need to point to a png. The only png I know of close in the framework is the "keyguard_fmm_text_box.9.png", but it only controls the text box on the lockscreeen. Beyond that I'm sorry, but I don't know of a png controlling the entire background as an image.

maybe i confused you the xml i was talking about was in response to the guy trying to change the background of the dialer,theres a theme called domination and in his thread he has mods one of them being black backgounds and thats a xml file that you flash in vrtheme zip or whatever but it changes all the backgrounds black for your settings, dialer ,some apps like root exploer and such, i was just looking to make that notification on my lock screen black with white text, in his domination theme it does that but the rom i am on is themed right now but that is not im trying to find what file or what it is that he made that missed notification black. but ill look at the .png you pointed me too thanks.

i figured it out

Okay I have a question and I THINK I know the answer but if someone knows better hope they can help out.
I am wanting to change the background of the INCALL Dialer. On ShoStock it is plain black at least. I shave been through the SecPhone and SecContacts and either missed it or if I am thinking correctly it is an .xml edit. I kniw how to modify .xml's but rather not. Any help is appreciated. This would be for my themes I just posted and I dont like the incall dialer. Thanks
I was HOPING to change the dial button background in the incall dialer (with the white arrow) to match the dial button backgrounds in the second screenshot of the main dialer...
I am NOT as concerned with the BACKGROUND imagebut just the dialer buttons section.

Hi Rock...
Just saw your post... It's an XML edit for sure. There are No PNG's that control that part. I've never looked into changing it though. Now you have me curious as to where the value is exactly. Hopefully it's in the values/colors.xml of either phone or contacts otherwise it could take some digging (understatement). I would start with contacts as the likely canidate.

Thanks. That is what I was guessing. Too bad. On the S3's it still had a .PNG associated with it in the SecPhone.apk
Thanks for the reply. I don't know if I want to mess with .xml's at all. I used to when I was making themes before using vr theme formats. I found it a lot nicer to just do the .pngs as it will work across multiple devices and firmwares. So if I edit a .XML it probably would cause issues across different firmware versions and devices.

Make sure you have unknown sources turned on in your settings.

I've got them installed and I can pick from their icons by editing icon individually but I cannot find anywhere to apply a theme to the whole launcher. I have the at&t version if that matters. I've looked everywhere. Maybe it's just disabled on this model? I don't know. I really want to change my app drawer button though and it can only be changed by applying the theme to the entire home launcher.

For me, it was easy to find. I do have the verizon one, but the only difference in settings is that Verizon's settings page is set to one long one, and ATT has tabs (but either can switch that in settings).
I clicked the settings button from the home screen, which brought up the settings menu: then found homescreen and BOOM...
Try switching your settings view mode to single page over tabbed and it might be easier.

Your installing the apks and then changing themes using the theme setting from main menu or the Home menu under settings? When I switch themes it changes all my icons but maybe a quick reboot will refresh your dock and home icons unless Verizon is different like the ATT guys don't seem to have the theme chooser. I'm on T-Mobile.

I've changed the theme from both menus, same result. Then, if I use icon themer after changing the theme, it will change everything EXCEPT the system icons. Cool feature, just doesn't seem to be working for me like I wanted. Running Clean Rom if it matters. All I really want is a way to change the app drawer icon, which doesn't seem possible at the moment.

That is so weird, just changed my theme to Crystal2 in the LG Launcher and there you can see my app drawer icon is a cool X.

When I install a theme, it only themes the system icons, including the app icon(which is great), but not any other icons. I assume it's because of a variation in the way the system is set up as compared to the phone these were originally made for? I've tried 5 different themes with the same result, only system icons themed. Hmmmm...
On Cleanrom, if it makes a difference.

I assume it's because of a variation in the way the system is set up as compared to the phone these were originally made for? I've tried 5 different themes with the same result, only system icons themed. Hmmmm...
On Cleanrom, if it makes a difference.

However the phone allows you to change any other app's icon at will... you can even go download images or create them in PS and have ANYTHING you want as an icon really easily. Just pick up the app, then drop it on your screen, and a purple brush shows up in the corner: click that and you can change it to anything... literally anything you want.

Again, I'm fully aware of that option, on the home screen, but that doesn't change the fact that the themes do not change any icons other than system app icons. In the drawer. Or system wide, like icon themer does.

Clear navigation bar in Nova Lancher?

Hi I searched everywhere and couldnt find any answers, but I have the tmo version of the LG, I'm running Nova and see people with transparent navigation bars on the bottom. I cant seem to get it to be transparent or find a setting, I'm also on stock no rom installed. I'm rooted can any one let me know how to get the navigation bar transparent thank you!

Since you're rooted you can use autohide soft keys from the Play Store. It hides the Nav bar and you activate it by swiping up from the bottom. It takes ten minutes to get used to it. And while you're at it..You can hide the status bar on a per app base with the app settings module. You have to install the xposed framework first (and put the uninstaller on your sd, search it here on xds). You can then activate the status bar on swipe with smart status bar from the store.
Might take a while to set up this from scratch, but you end up with a screen without any buttons or bars as long as you don't call them. You asked for the transparent Navbar, I recommend the invisible one. See Screenshot to see what my nova settings, my browser (and every other app on my phone) look like, with bars hidden and bars called.

Its a wallpaper that comes with the G2. When you select a wallpaper, you can choose it as an option for where you want to get your wallpaper for.
I can confirm this works for me as well. Im using Action Launcher, and the status bar is transparent when i use Multi-Wallpaper.

the aicp rom for verizon phones does this. its awesome. not sure if its avail for tmo.

Did you mean "multi-photo" mode to set wallpaper? I've tried it on Apex Launcher but the navigation bar didn't become transparent [and yes I've enabled transparent bar in the display setting already]. Am I missing something here?

Sorry, it was my misreading that's caused the confusion, I thought it was on about status bar...

Android L Launcher - Change Icons

hi, I installed the latest Android L preview and I like it a lot but the only thing I miss is my moonshine icon pack that I used on my kitkat build.
I looked around if there is any way to change icons on the stock launcher and I came across "Beautiful Icon Styler" and I found an old apk online but it does not seem to be compatible with the android l launcher.
does anyone know if it is possible to change the icons without changing the launcher? even if it is only home screen icons I guess it is still better than nothing
thanks

I dont know for exact but u can change pngs of ur stock icons. U can google it or wait till some one answer.

Wait for xposed to release an update for android L

Did you try desktop visualizer?

yea I just figured out that one. However I think I might have found an easier way.
the app is called Icon Changer free and it basically creates a shortcut for the app on your homescreen with a custom icon. the icon doesn't change in the drawer but I guess it'll have to do for now
thanks

Beautiful Icon Styler
Here you go. Was looking for a app that allowed me to style the icons while using GEL (or pretty much any other launcher). This did the trick for me.

Just use this app called Unicon. You need root but it works.
