[DEV/REQ] Grid Launcher

So, I was very bored, and I made a concept. I'm sure you've all seen GridOS, and I know that you've probably seen many people asking for it. I really wish we could get something like this going on android. I know literally nothing about creating apps (yet) but I wonder if the designer of Launcher 7 would be interested, my concept is basically a 4-way-scrollable version of his existing app. I'd be willing to help with graphics in ANY way.

I feel that this should be in themes
It would be nice to see grid os, I thought it was built on android? They say they can use android apps so I'm assuming yes we just need to port or *a* port.

Actually, this isn't just a theme. This is a hopeful development thread for a full-fledged home replacement app. I contacted the developer of Launcher 7, and he said that he doesn't have time to work on anything right now. He did say, however, that he was playing around with the idea of a Windows 8 launcher for android, but that this looked much more interesting.
Very interesting idea, actually more interesting than the Win8 layout itself. I haven't got right now time for coding tablet, but if I prototype it again, I'll definitely look at this approach over win8.

Default Browser quick controls (LABS)

Hey everyone.
Did you all know that the Note 10.1 default Browser has a fullscreen mode with quick controls that are gesture based? (I wish the controls were bigger, though)
If you go to Browser settings and then to Labs section, there is a Quick Controls option you can enable. Is this new in Jelly Bean based roms?
Basically your Browser goes fullscreen with no bars and you can swipe from the left or right edge to bring up a semi-circular set of touch controls to do whatever you want.
Or, maybe, you all knew this and I am a noob.

Sorry to say it but " YOU ARE A NOOB" also its not the only or first browser with this feature. ?

Still thanks for sharing. I'm sure there are enough people who are not aware of this feature and they might be helped by your post.

It had this is 4.0 but the controls wee bigger and ALOT easier to use

I didn't know about this until I was told a few weeks ago, it's very good for quick and full screen browsing, but like the OP said; it would be better if the buttons could be increased in size.

[GUIDE/POLL] Top 5 Launchers For The Tab 2

Hi Everyone, I Am new To The Tab2 Section, And Its my first guide on xda. Now, This Thread Will Guide You Through The Top 5 Launchers Fit For Our Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. These Selections Have Been Made On Performance, Customization, User Experience And Styling Basis. So Let's Begin:

}
Now, we are all familiar with the GO family. It has impressed us for many years, but not now. Though good in looks but this launcher is quiet embarrassing, the app drawer icon is small and on the top of the screen. It has many themes, many addons but still it dosen't fulfil the requirements.

This is the perfect launcher i was able to find. It's got everything in it, all the customization thingies, its fast, light, and the best of all, user friendly. I highly recommend this to all users. On Google Play Its got 4.5 rating and over 5,000,000 installs.

Reserved. Still Reviewing The Rest Launchers

I would also suggest smart launcher , buzz launcher and nova launcher !!
I can make a review for these launchers if you like

I've been using apex for a while. Seems pretty good with a little more customization than stock.

Also i recomend tsf shell launcher.
Its really cool because it has features which no other launcher have. You can move freely(not in a grid) apps and folders, also widgets(resize freely them too). It does need much ram but thats not problem on our tab. We still have much free ram, even after using apps.
Only downside is the prize.

I'm using nova,smooth for my taby

The font is not that great, they haven't done much on the status bar yet I take it and I can almost guarantee that the final version will be drastically different, though the colour... id just rely on venom to change it

Article doesn't exist anymore

Am I the only person who's happy with the color?
More Screenshots here:

Another new screenshot leaked showing Sense version and Android version

this can be discussed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2411840&page=1556#post56310628 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56268585#post56268585 plz close this thread

i think it's fake since because of new android and sense Version the main Version would Change to something with 4.xx.xxx.x or even 5.xx.xxx.x ...

I agree

It's totally fake..
HTC can't do that cheap looking customization .. :highfive:

Moderator information,
I have closed this thread for now. This does appear to be fake. Looking at different screen shots and the build number etc. Closer to the time when more creditable information becomes available, we can look at opening the thread again.
Many thanks,

Hi all!
I have created a new theme called 'Stockify' for EMUI4+ devices. It has a few interesting things...
Where possible all icons are replaced by their stock Android equivalent
Other icons are replaced with fully licenced icons from icons8
The theme is deployed via the Play Store - you will be automatically notified of updates and it will take you through the install and update process
The install / update tool will be open source shortly for all EMUI theme developers
The theme is currently in Beta, I will be stockifying a lot more, but you can have a play now!
Simply download from the Play Store at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.olabs.theme.stockify
Enjoy!

Great job! No more ugly square background icons! ?

Thank you dude it looks nice
Sent from my EVA-L19 using XDA-Developers mobile app

It looks great, but can you make the icons slightly smaller? or an option to adjust icon size? it looks pretty big for me. Thanks

great job, thanks a lot
Sent from my EVA-L09 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Love it but I'm agreeing with other user if icons could be a little smaller
Sent from my EVA-L09 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Looks good but I would like to know if the font is changed by this theme before using it because there is no way to go back to stock font with EMUI 4 as there is no more font changing utility in stock OS.

This theme doesn't change the fonts.

Thanks @paulobrien now I can use Google Now launcher

Will the design of the settings, dialer, message and contacts app be changed in future updates?

Thanks from a very grateful Mate 8 user. Finally a theme that doesn't suck. Even if you are going to theme the other parts of the system, please keep one version as it is now.

Looking great. The only icon I personally don't like is the Heath icon. Heart is kinda medicine one, maybe it is worth to update it with something not so anatomical? ?
