[WAD2] Working on a concept: Feedbacks?

So, I'm working on a concept called Devonshire and I'd like to get people's opinions on it.

What I want to do with the photo stack is actually keeping the white frame and cutting out the photo so users can add their own photo underneath to simulate their own photo. Is there a way to do to this and make the photo cycle at a predetermined interval?
The Home Page icons are all new and semi-transparent. The 1st icon will bring up a sub-menu with 6-8 most common used programs. The 2nd icon is the phone icon. The 3rd icon is the alt-tab icon. The 4th is the S2U2 icon.
I'm thinking that pressing on the clock will open the "next appointment" dock.
What do you guys think?

Terrific concept. Look forward to the finished product.

I updated the first page with the five different tabs side-by-side. Right now, I'm about 80% done with getting things installed unto WAD. By later today, I should have a version that I can upload here =D
For both the apps/settings page and contacts page, the bottom right and bottom left corner of the book will change the pages (docks).
I have a question: For the home page, is there a way on WAD to make the photos change every 5 min automatically?
Also, I haven't played around with the built-in agenda in WAD, but is it possible to use the graphics I have for the agenda (Today header strip, highlighted strip, day header strip)

Any feedbacks?

It looks a little cluttered to me, but it still looks nice.

How To Make HTC One Nearly Full Gesture Based, no root, no tricks, no costs

Just good ol' Android customization and apps, baby:
EDIT: How do I make pictures smaller? Sorry for the giant pics...
Using Swipe Pad (free from Play Store), you can set it up so that it's activated from a gesture from the bottom of the screen (or anywhere else). I have it there so. To activate, I gesture up from the HTC logo (very BBZ10 like). This can be done from anywhere and any app.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then the "Home" portal (a default option of Swipe Pad) can bring you back to the home screen. Then the two portals around it are to put the device to sleep (via an app that's called Screen Off and Lock, also free) so I don't always have to reach up to the power/wake button.
Then the above level of portals are my most frequented apps. I didn't set anything higher but that may yet come. You can add almost anything you want!
It's not only a handy app switcher of sorts, but also one that allows you to set gesture based commands.
Anyway, links to the apps I used are below.
And there you go, a nearly full gesture base HTC One. The only time I have to really reach up to press the power/wake button is to wake the device.
Just thought I'd share! The only obstacle is when the on-screen menu buttons are present. All the more reason for HTC to update the software to rid us of that obnoxious menu bar.

Now if only you can figure out how to turn it on with swipes without rooting

Magnify your screen by using Magnification Gestures

Regardless of how great the screens are on our phones, the content is just too small if you have powerless visual perception. Wearing glasses whole time also irritates a lot. However, the android magnifying gesture feature helps solve this problem.
Magnification gestures allows users to zoom in or out the whole screen of your device. It temporarily magnifies what’s on your screen and pan the entire screen to give a closer look at the screen content.
Here’s how you can enable Magnification gestures in our Honor phones:
1. Go to Settings -> Advanced settings.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. Tap on Accessibility.
3. Click on Magnification gestures and enable it.
When magnification gestures are enabled, you can magnify, pan, and zoom in the following ways:
a. Zoom in and out by triple-tapping the screen. Then, while zoomed in, you can:
· Drag two or more fingers to pan across the screen.
· Pinch two or more fingers together or spread them apart to adjust the zoom level.
Note: If you enter or exit an app when zoomed in, you automatically zoom out. Simply triple-tap to zoom in again
b. Temporarily magnify what's under your finger by triple-tapping and holding. In this magnified state, you can:
· Drag your finger to explore different parts of the screen.
· Lift your finger to return to your previous state.
Note: Triple-tap for magnification works everywhere except the keyboard and navigation bar

How to change keyboard?

Is it normal that there is not a voice in the settings to change keyboard? I've got both gboard and SwiftKey and I can't find a way to switch between one and the other

I'm still not able to change it, I'll get in this menu where if I click on any of the keyboards I'll get in their settings. And if I click on manage keyboards I can activate or deactivate them, not change the one that I want to use

open your text messaging app or something that requires you to type, bring up a keyboard and select change keyboard by tapping the icon in the bottom right of the screen.

If you have activated the Moto Action>One Button Nav, the keyboard icon will not appear. One Button Nav removes the black bar at the bottom of the screen that displays the on-screen buttons for Home, Back, etc. and you use the fingerprint sensor gestures instead. This gives me a bit more screen real estate. You must disable One Button Nav, then the keyboard icon is visible. Once I changed keyboards, I reactivated One Button.

Samsung Sidesync

have been looking for way to mirror and control my view tablet from my pc and had pretty much settled on scrcpy (which is awesome) after trying alternatives such as teamviewer, vysor, etc... unfortunately tho, as far as i can tell, you can't transfer files using scrcpy and the mirrored resolution isn't that great... i tried samsung's built-in sidesync, but it appears that it was designed more for mirroring in portrait mode in that the landscape mirroring is strecthed vertically, at least on my system, which was disappointing because the mirrored resolution is outstanding plus it offers a lot more bells and whistles than scrcpy, including file transfer... thing is, i use mirroring a lot, so the funky screen resolution (stretched) bugged me, it probably won't bother most...
anyway it was an easy fix, just by editing 2 skin files (xml, jpg):
