Besides the official homescreen thread, can we start a secondary one for people new to Android?

I just moved back to Android after two years on Windows Phone and one on IOS (side note, Android is the best IMHO), so all the knowledge I had on homescreen modification and Android in general has been lost.

So this will be a thread for people just starting off. I'll give an example of the format below:

-Device: Huawei Ascend Mate 7
- Launcher: Nova Prime with the Polycon icon pack
- Locker: None, as I can't find one that supports fingerprint scanners.
- Clock widget: Minimal Clock

As you can see I'm going for a pure Android inspired look. I'll be attempting root and eventually flashing ROM's later on when I've built up the courage.

Do you guys have any suggestions, as it would be welcome.

OP here.

>>6421987
There's an app called GMD Full Screen Immersive Mode that lets you toggle the navigation and status bars.

Only reason I'm not using it is because the free version puts an ugly red line at the bottom of the screen, which is the toggle area. This can be removed in the paid version. I think I'll just buy it as it works great.

Also I have attempted using KLWP, however for now that shit is way above my skill level. I did download KWGT though and replaced my clock with one of their presets (with one slight tweak), which I think looks way better.

It should be fine, just replace the god awful launcher ASAP.

Don't expect the buttery smoothness of IOS all the time, though you should be fine. The biggest thing I noticed with the jump back to Android is the slight input lag when scrolling anywhere on the system. You get used to it pretty quick and won't notice it after a day or so. Also multitasking is SO much better on Android. Apps actually stay open in the background.

1. Get KWLP.
2. Get Nova Launcher (enable scroll down notification menu and remove the statusbar) and remove all icons, they're for plebs.
3. Save this wallpaper.
4. Go get my KLWP set up based off of sarcasmguy1's setup. It's here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pkujuhdl00t0ne4/lemoe_terminal.klwp.zip?dl=0
5. Open it up (import) with KLWP, modify it all you want (example go to global to change the uset name; "lemoe")
6. Press the Save Icon when youre done in KLWP.
7. Enjoy being a pimp and getting hoes.

Looks very out of the box, seems like you didn't do much to me, don't feel it deserves a rate at this point. Some things you're gonna hear are 2clocks/10, make your icons smaller, arrange your icons better. If you're dead set on having all those icons accessible from the homescreen maybe get Glyphs or another non-app-specific icon pack and make a few folders, or make one of the nova icons a gesture search app so you don't have to have all those apps on the homescreen. Looks very cluttered, which is one of the big things rice customization seeks to eliminate
.>>6421852
Your icon pack looks very stock. If you're not super fond of it i'd recommend a change
.>>6421873
Hate the clock widget, your whole setup reminds me of stock iPhone kinda. If you can i'd move the widget up a little more if you're dead set on having it.
>>6421867
In the future, google. But no.
>>6421960
This is actually really funny, remove the text from the icons and it'll be perfect.
>>6421965
go into the other phone threads and get a feel for what you like and attempt to get close to a re-creation without cloning them.
>>6422268
If you describe to me your creative process and why it merits rating I'll rate it. This doesn't look like you tried desu. Read the phone ricing guide.
>>6422556
icon spacing is weird. Looks comfy to use 8/10. I feel like something could be done to make it better but can't put my finger on it. If I could just figure out if that's because of the ambiance of the rice I'd be able to decide whether to bump it to like 9.5, but I can't.
>>6422943

>>6422989

not a fan of the all in one widget, download a couple icons and replace those folders with said icons.
>>6423417
10/10 for execution 7/10 for style (sorry, not a fan, but if you're a fan, then keep doing you, looks like it pretty much follows the theme of what you're trying to accomplish.)

OP here.

So I've had a few days to toy around and I've settled on this. Hopefully you approve.

I'm still looking for a couple of things though: Firstly a clock widget that suits the overall feel better, with lighter and thinner text. I know I create create my own, but I just don't have the time.

Secondly I'm also looking for a wide that replaces Google Calendar's. I don't know if such a thing exists, but the stock one is fucking horrific. The calendar rests full-screen on homescreen to the left.

Lastly, like the previous one, does anyone know of an app that can replace the widget of the Outlook mail app? It sits to the homescreen on the right.

>>6424345
I don't know about the clock but he's using the Lines icon pack. There's a free and paid version.

>>6424377
I agree with you and have changed it accordingly. Originally (having cone straight from IOS) I was looking for a stock Android look, but it grew old fast. I decluttered everything using the gesture based folders that Nova has, works like a treat.

It's one of the KWGT presets. I just changed the radius of one of the objects to make the day text more visible. I think the curve adds a nice effect as well. The app itself is amazingly in depth, you could (if you had the skill, which I don't) build yourself some amazing widgets.

pretty cool layout/feel although I do not see why you would need two clocks on your screen. I would also remove the labels under the icons since the point of an icon is to represent the program + it would look a lot cleaner without the text.

Reading through these posts and I'm gonna take the advice. Here's what I had when I came onto this thread. For the record, the icons at the bottom are not a dock, but I like having my icons down there. Old habits die hard I guess.

Using nova launcher, flight icon pack, and dashclock widget. Square icon is a folder.

>>6426927
Try a better icon pack and move the music player on a new page qt

I recently discovered klwp and want to do a collapsing group-like folder, but i don't know where the icons are stored and want to use them pic related its the best i can do.

Once i figure that out i will add quite a bit more functionality but right now i can't even get the visuals exactly how i want them.

>>6427025
The contrast in the dashboard makes the lack of contrast in you apps a bit tough to look at. Nice page. Double clock.

Looks too stock. Get a decent clock/calender widget (kwgt is great klwp is also great but might be too complicated) and lose the dock.

>>6427119
You can use a launcher (nova launcher is great) to get rid of both the notification bar on top (helps with double clock) and it can get rid of the dock. It can do a lot more than that.

As for icons i use "tiny white icons" but I'm looking for new ones so i don't really know. Just try to find one that looks clean to you and is informative enough that you don't have to read the label underneath (so you can get rid of it)

As a rule of thumb the less information you can display for have the max information the better.

For me, Lightning Launcher + Widgets offer more flexibility in ricing. Nova/Apex + KWGT are clumsy when you need to have widgets on your homescreen. E.g. you need evernote widget on your phone.

Arrange your icons a bit more symmetrical. Consider making your clock smaller, and get rid of your notification bar as well as your page indicator. 4/10, I really like your icon pack.

I would not add much, they look clean
Maybe you could put a calender under the analog clock on the 2nd screen and replace the small analog clock with a digital one

Took in the advice, thanks for it. Here's my second attempt.

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to remove the page indicator though.
>>
>>6430125

What launcher are you using?

1. The widget looks really ugly, and it interferes and distracts from the (awesome) pape
2. Symmetry is nice, but too many icons aren't. Consider removing some of the icons to put on different pages.
3. Your icon pack is a nice match for the pape, but you should pick locations on the desktop that add to/complement it, not clash with it.

Honestly, just learn some Zooper or UCCW, and keep lurking. Learn to complement, not detract from, the experience. 4/10.
>>
>>6429987
Nice color schematic, but try these suggestions:
1. Remove the dock and app drawer icon, in favor of gestures (I'm assuming you use NL Pro).
2. Make your essentials (like phone, camera, texting, etc) into gestures.
3.Have another page or two to space out apps.
4.Remove that navbar, or at least change its color.

5/10 - pack, widgets, and pape are great, but app placement, navbar, and too many apps are not.

I know it's amateurish but it's my first attempt. The icons are a clusterfuck but I like to access them as quickly as possible and I use nearly all of them on a constant basis.

other than that not much I can nitpick, really like the colors on this one though, having your clock choice be the standard notification bar onesomehow doesn't look unfitting at all and it looks nice and clean, 5/10

pls r8

h-how about now senpai?

I don't have the pro version, so ultimately I can't get rid of the android navbar at the bottom (can you even do that? Or have I simply never paid attention) but I've worked with what I had available.

Went down to the five apps I would be too inconvenienced not to have on the screen (also only want a one-screen setup) and tried several ways to arrange them, all looking awkward. Ultimately I stuck with following the treeline.

Also there might be a small size difference in the clock?
>>
>>6430471
The navbar can be gotten rid of with GravityBox, an XPosed module (read up on XPosed, and if your phone's compatible).

If you want a single page setup, that's great, but I think you'll have to make a choice of actually buying NLP (and getting gesture support) or doing something about that clock widget (maybe the problem is that it's taking up too much desktop real estate?). Or else, you can just love with the awful (but slightly better) app placement.

What's your app desktop's size? And did you allow sub-grid positioning?

If nothing else, how about trying to position the apps along the mountains (if you haven't tried that already)?

Looks pretty good, though try out Nova Launcher's "gesture folders". It shows the icon of the first item in the folder (or a custom icon if you set it). On a tap it opens the first item in a folder and when you swipe up on the icon it opens the folder itself.

Pretty sure this mechanic was stolen from Action Launcher's "Cover" mechanic, but I prefer Nova.
