Phone Thread #147
Before asking for a wallpaper, reverse image search it. This function is built into 4chan now. Its not hard to do.

New rice = new blog post about my phone
Xposed seems to work fine on 6.0
Modules like gravitybox seem to have lost some features in the move. I assume they will get ported in updates but mostly everything is there.
It's getting more troublesome to flash and root with the new security update schedule present on 6.0 + for the Nexus line
Marshmallow seems to be working better than Lollipop for my N5. Not sure if it's just placebo and fancy animations but I don't care enough to look for technical proof.
Trying to maintain it sober, not a lot of changes, mostly changing browsers (Chrome was killing my battery)
>>1878390
Looks nice but the off-center text and the gap between the middle grey-ish box and the white boxes in the teal box are bothering me more than they should. (Also, get a better font.)
>>1878411
Fucking adorable. Clean, sleek, gets all the stuff you want in a presentable way. 10/10, only thing I'd change is making the calendar slightly smaller so there's a small margin between the edges of the screen/box and the calendar (so it looks less cramped).
How do I get animations
I always have such trouble starting from scratch on a new rice. Any suggestions on this WIP?
Still trying to figure out how to incorporate a media controller. Might have to add another screen.
>>1878411
I like it, did you make the music widget in KLWP?
Is this all wrong? ?
![Screenshot_2016-01-18-19-36-39[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/E95qDws.jpg "Screenshot_2016-01-18-19-36-39[1].png")
>>1878475
glad you liked the paper but this is all wrong,
here is what i got now. any tips? i feel like this is the set up and its complete but im still new to this tips and recommendations pls
>>1878475
If you really want to try and make it work you should get rid of the icons which aren't on the dock, as based on perspective lines implied from the sides of your dock those three icons should be at least 1/3 of their current size.
As for the miscellaneous icon widgets that you have, you might as well change the font or something because it looks very hard to read.
But the wallpaper you chose to work with is difficult to manage without use of flat areas so that might be the problem.
anyway do what youwish
>>1878484
jesus this is autistic, likewise is that show

yes, can barely even tell foreground from background

Thanks!!!
First time doing this. Any suggestions? (The picture of pitou is a gif)
>>1878517
>>1878387
Thanks for putting me in the OP. Since then I changed my picture to an animated one and got Zui launcher which someone recommended in an earlier thread. Very clean and aestheticly pleasing.
And for my data cap friends.
>>1878534
i find gifs ugly the hard edges are what bothers me
maybe fing a gif that ins a full person with a transparent background and i'll be about it.

You should really hide or change the icons of your navigation bar

I like these a whole lot. I want to know if I should put a transparent bar within the alphabetical letters or bordering the music player, calender, and gifs. Should I change the clock widget?
>>1878763
Here's the vid. In shit quality though.
Went out and got my first android phone yesterday, so I'm still fiddling around with everything, but so far enjoying it. Managed to come up with this until I'm more familiar with both androids and ricing xd
>>1878763
I'm still new to this but i think the paper on the 2nd screen needs to be changed the text looks messy with it on top of other text
>>1875054
any chance you could share the vector of IA? the original post is now archived and I dont have illustrator to extract it from the .ai file

anything guys?

The bottom pic on the second image is an album. I can just get rid of the song title if that's what your saying.

Yes.

nevermind, who knew you could open .ai in photoshop!
you dont have to remove it i would just bring the white text & media player into the tree image

Someone actually used my wallpaper, neat.
Reposting mine once again until I get the inspiration to make something new.
Anyone know the icon pack that >>1873399 used?
Guys, I've heard of GIF widgets, but is there something that I can use to put up a GIF on the home screen that moves along when I swipe left and right? Just like in this video.
>>1878785
Way too many icons in my opinion but great taste in music.
Attempting to get back into the rice game, made this really quick, debating whether or not to add a banner or leave it as is. Also looking for a new font, and possibly matching the color of the clock to her hair, not sure though, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Tried our a few different things. Any klwp advice or any advice at all would be great
>>1878532
Lockscreen?
>>1878442
Updated. Moved the icons out of folders and spanned across 3 screens and switched to KLWP.
Suggestions/criticisms?
>>1878442
The infos in the top right corner are too close. Also that font doesn't look that good, might want to switch it. The rest is fine.
>>1878965
I really like the colours. I think the font might look better in a fitting colour.
Don't add banners, the rice doesn't need them.
>>1878981
It somehow looks like it is missing a theme. I'm aware that the theme is probably Shinobu but with all those colours it feels like random shit slapped together in my opinion.
>>1878442
I like it the way it is, simple and clean, complements the 10c weather.
My only suggestions would be possibly moving more of the girl into the picture, so that there isnt such a big gap between her head and the top banner, and possibly shifting the date slightly (maybe by 1 or 2) to the right so that the back of the 8 and the 9 line up, but that may change as the date changes so maybe it can't be 'fixed. '
Either way, good job.
>>1879011
The vertical gap is limited by the horizontal space I have and the aspect ratio of the picture.
In other words, if I were to give her more vertical space, she would start overlapping the left banner and eventually start clipping off the left side of the screen.
Though after shrinking the size of the left banner, I've enlarged her accordingly. Also, the alignment problem is more or less fixed now and I've updated the font.
By the way, I can't seem to get KLWP to retrieve and display my alarm clock information properly. It just always says that I had an alarm "moments ago," meaning it's always getting 0 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds for the time to next alarm. I'm using the Puzzle Alarm Clock app. Anyone have a similar problem or know how to fix it?
Recommend some icon pack for this, or a less cluttered version of the wallpaper
>>1878985
ZUI
My first time thoughts and critique?
Anyone have any ideas for an icon pack for this? I can't find anything I quite like.
>>1879119
Image in the middle should probably be the same width as your icons and clock sections.
You should make the padding to the right of the circle equal to the padding on the left of the clock and probably also make it the same color.
The phone, camera, and messaging shortcuts should be vertically centered. Also, why is that box rounded whereas all the other boxes are sharp?
You might also want to try adding a a background to your media controller to match the clock and icons sections.
Mainly just minor consistency and cohesiveness issues; other than that, I really like the choice of color scheme and the layout overall.
>>1878814
How did you get the time, date, and playlist like that? Also, can you post the original bg?
>>1879142
Find ones you kind of like, add colour overlay and texture in photoshop.
>>1879147

This is the newest rice I came up with. I can't figure out how to add a clock to this. Anyone got any suggestions?
Photoshop and Zooper is what I can use. No KLWP.
Also, I'm sorry for not rating atm, I'm tired and I promise to do it tomorrow.
How do I add new fonts to Zooper?
Does anyone know the source of this background?
Is there any easy way to record android screens without root?
New home screen. Thoughts?
>>1879430
Space the Icons further out and put a clock inbetween them?
Actually don't know how it would turn out but it would be interesting to see.
>>1879460
It could be Watamote. Not entirely sure, but it should be.
Simple one today.
Does anybody know how to get rid of that gradient at the top and bottom of the screen? Preferably without rooting?
Turning off the "Show Shadow" option in Nova only gets rid of some of it.
Nothing fancy, just the way I like it
>>1879483
Only in Android >4.4 http://www.howtogeek.com/176956/how-to-record-your-android-devices-screen-with-android-4.4-kitkat/
>>1879504
Cute, get a thinner font or a thicker icon set though.
>>1879516
Make your colors consistent, use the dark grey in the clock in the icons too. The random bubble (?) icon near her umbrella is also really out of place, and the icons are too far to the right in general (should be nudged left a bit, so that the right side of the box of icons aligns with the right side of the clock). Also, get a better font.
>>1879504
That's an awesome picture of yui. What if instead of a square, you tried using a circle?

How to crack this shit? Lucky Patcher didnt work
>>1879746
>>1879745
No problem! That's actually cute, though it looks just a tad cluttered now (in my opinion). Would look better with just {app name} rather than with the dashes too. I've never used UCCW so I'm not sure if you can, sorry, but hopefully someone can help.
>>1879772
I know this is 4chan so this is probably not the best place to say this, but the dev is a pretty awesome guy who actively provides support for the KLWP community, and the app costs less than a cup of coffee. If you can't figure out how to crack it on your own, just pay for it. It's fucking $3, man.
>>1879836
Hi klwp dev
>>1879883
>implying implications
>implying most people in this thread could develop an app if their lives depended on it
I couldn't either. I rely on KLWP, myself, and I torrent stuff like Photoshop and Illustrator and animu and whatnot, but that's different than asking to be spoonfed instructions on how to pirate an app that's: 1) $3. Less than that, actually, by a penny; 2) Very useful. Enough so that it warrants that $3, easily; 3) Got free alternatives.
There's enough newfags asking for walls or sauce on a wall every damn thread without reverse image searching that going so far as to ask to be spoonfed how to pirate an app that really does not need to be pirated deserves being called out.
>>1879836
I pay for theme on kwlp. After that, i ve got information, that i must pay for app to install that theme. Thats why i wanna crack that app.
>>1878475
Can you post original wallpaper? I can't find a good resolution for it
Does KLWP allow backgrounds to be .GIF? If not, what app should I use in conjuction with KLWP to make it work?
Can someone help me with a Stocking wallpaper that was posted on here. Was blue stripe background and she's standing on the right of it
>>1879993
Nope, KLWP doesn't support it. You'll need some other widget app (search in Play Store, can't remember which)
>>1878517
>>1878518
New and improved. Navbar still shit tho, waiting for the official release of lolipop.
>>1880181
Just use Xstana - nice xposed module.
>>1879836
I tried removing the -'s from the app widget and I agree it looks less cluttered now. I also tried having the widget a smaller size. Which way do you think the widget looks better, small or large?
Spent ~3 hours for this.
It is maximum of customization Win10 Mobile.
I think i need to change my smartphone :c
>>1880234
looks good for a windows phone
>>1880181
How did you make that thing which switches between icons and a player?
>>1880181
how many more editions this thread? You should start numbering them desu senpai
>>1880242
He's just swiping to the next page.
Took about 10 minutes for this.
I'm using iWidgets on IOS 9.0.2.
Feel free to send tips.
Im also planning to quit IOS,So if anyone got recommendations,I'm actually interested by the Moto X and the Nexus 6p.
>>1879899
What you did is you probably bought a pre-made theme for an app, not the app itself. It's not like someone gypped you -- you go the lazy route, you pay money (or spend time to find) pre-made themes for an app (which there is a free version of anyways, just go download that if you can't figure out how to crack it yourself).
>>1880195
I think both have a different effect, personally I prefer this but it makes the text in the bottom box a bit dense-looking (if that makes sense, what I mean is it looks like there's a lot more text than there is when it's smaller like that). Up to you. I would remove some text personally (like "contacts" or "all apps").
>>1880234
Definitely not bad for a WP, cute pic too.
>>1880275
Low effort troll, or just really poor taste.
>>1880275
That looks really cluttered, if you're being serious...
>>1880275

It took me that much to clean up the puke after seeing that
>>1880341
Thanks for the reply,I'm not going to reply to other annons that replied to my post since I thought 4chan didn't host assholes h24.
As I said I'm gonna quit iOS since it's the max I can do with iWidgets.
I'm gonna try to clean it up a little,The RSS feed and Twitter is usually glitchy.
Does KLWP ever go on sale?
>>1880352
You could Jailbreak some cool looking shit, but even that is really restricted with iOS.
I just left my iPhone for android again with the S6 Edge, but so far I have no regrets.

Is it possible to rice a Note 5 with AT&T as the carrier? Other places have said no, but, I was wondering if any of you knew a way (if it's true)..
Re did my toradora rice I'm new to this so suggestions are welcome
>>1880352
You have 3 clocks. Add only what you need, decorations come after that.
>>1880391
Yes. Ricing is just changing the layout and stuff doesn't matter which android phone. root only adds deeper changes.
>>1880402
Thanks!
>>1880399
You should hide your notification bar.
The text shouldn't be on the picture.
Try to swap the icon pack to something flat like Tiny White Icon Pack or Big White Minimal Icons.

>>1880507
>>1879430
I just started and I love the layout of this. Is that 2 different pictures (wallpapers) on top of each other or a single piece?
Any recommendations for an icon pack?
Really stupid question. How do I make it so I have a different background on each individual page?
Copying the layout from a few threads ago cause its great for displaying wallpapers
>>1878518
What are those gorgeous icons?
>>1879307
Are you saying the pink box behind the clock was made in Zooper? If so how did you stack them like that. Or did you simply photoshop that color into your wallpaper?
>>1880618
Nova Launcher allows you to stack shit on top of each other
Here's my new version of this, now with Fake 3D Pop-out Effect™. I'll change the clock font once I figure out how to add fonts to Zooper. If anyone can tell me how to do that I'd be grateful.

This thread is pretty uninspiring, to be honest. Not sure I like what's being put out now.
I at least need to center the clock.
>>1880773
A little bit updated version
First time trying this stuff out. Open to all criticism and suggestions. I try to go for a simple and more or less clean look but still able to see the stuff I want to see with out digging for it.
>>1880919
I want to do something more with my music player but I don't know what. I'm using Rocket Player
>tfw phone res is so low the board doesn't allow me to post it

Really beautiful. Great effect with the boxes and 3d effect.
>>1880832
Clock/battery (???) is really way too cluttered I think. Also,
>90
>90
>80
What?
In addition, you don't need the stuff in the bottom corners and the app drawer icon should be themed as well.
>>1880919
>>1880920
This is just a cobbled together edition of a bunch of widgets, from the look of it? That icon in the bottom right is out of place, and the battery meters/bars could definitely be done better. They look like the default Zooper presets for meters (just circular, in the case of CPU and RAM). The upper part needs to be reworked, just poor arrangement of elements and nothing goes together properly.
>>1880920
Get rid of the folder icons, and I'd personally make my own player in Zooper (assuming you're using it; if not, make it in whatever you're using). That aside, cool effect with the reflections.
>>1880924
You can just put it on an oversized canvas in Photoshop or what have you (i.e. open a new canvas in PS with the minimum dimensions for /w/, then just paste your screenshot in the middle (align it vertically/horizontally) and wham bam, bob's your uncle.)

it's my first mobile setup, i wasn't really into phone ricing until today, really. i'm actually a desktop ricer, and I rarely give a fuck about my phone, i could trade it for an mp3 and it'd serve me the same purpose.
i did it in less than 2 hours.

What do you think senpaitachi?
>>1880929
Like this? The icon in the right corner is folder, it's pretty useful to me.

>>1880991
>>>/wg/
Don't do what the other anon said. Use a flat icon pack.
>>1881029
Clock colours don't work and the calendar makes the whole thing off balance. The app drawer icon is ugly just use a gesture m8 it's so much nicer.
>>1881149
The widget is awful, throw it out and start again. Don't bother with all that useless info and use colours that fit the main image better. The weather icon doesn't work. The reflection effect doesn't look very good either. I'm not a fan of the blue you used, it's too saturated.
>>1881150
Make the music widget background the width of the icon area cause the info text needs more padding room so it can breath a bit. The icons are meh but I just have a thing against icons with shadows or gradients. If you don't have an icon for something just try making one yourself, it's not that hard. The 'media' text is entirely unnecessary and the shadow is very poorly executed. Just get rid of it.
Don't be disheartened, keep trying.
>>1881164
"gesture m8" here. I'm making a new one, opinions this far?
>>1881166
desaturate the colours ever so slightly so it doesn't rape your eyes unless you have to desaturate them so much the colours are ruined in which case deal with the eye rape.
>>1881166
actually forget that, changed some colors and added a page
>>1881173
the other page, still wip
>>1881164
What do you recommend for the top part then (of the 1st picture)? I just want at least the date and battery but I don't want it to look so barren. Also for the music player I can't really change it because the music player widget is so limited.
That also leads me to my music player, has any one tried Poweramp? Does anyone recommend that?
>>1881176
All you need to know from a clock widget really is the date and the time. Try and find a font that fits the rest of the rice. In your case I think a lightweight sans font would work well, something ultralight. Colours are important, try and use ones that are from/near to colours in the wallpaper art.
>>1881176
I made this player --> >>1881175
Almost completely finished. The only issue I'm having is with my music widget. How can I get the text to scroll if it goes off of the screen?

How do I rice Blackberry OS?
>>1880952
Yeah, I mean I get that. I just think that it seems odd to post something low effort like that -- unless you're asking for critique, which is hard to do given that there's so little to critique. I guess what I'm getting at is, why post something you know you put little effort into?
>>1881029
Left calendar widget still not great, still haven't changed app drawer, holy fuck that bottom right corner needs to go. I'm not really sure why it's there. Also, as other anon posted, the clock color makes no sense in this context. Pick a better color for it.
>>1881173
>>1881175
Empty as fuck .Colors are kinda eye-blinding to look at too long, try to desaturate them just a tiny, tiny bit. Pretty nondescript, literally just a clock and a basic music player.
>>1881274
As far as I know, you don't.
>>1881220
You make it in Zooper. Google for some help.
ricing my phone is taking a lot longer than I thought but jesus I just want it to look pretty

I like you, anon.

I also tried using the zooper player with media utilities but it just wouldn't work. Don't know if it's my phone but I did everything that were in multiple tutorials. I guess I just don't get that nice zooper player
>>1881329
Do you have these settings?
>>1881278
Any ideas what to add if anything?
>>1881334
Honestly I think it looks great. Excellent colour choices with the cotton candy blue and pink. They work really well together, especially with the white overlay on the numbers.
>>1880666
Is it possible to get instructions on how to make a similar image?
Hey, so uhh..
Just posting this here
>>1881343
That depends, how well versed are you in Photoshop?
If you have no clue it'd be a pretty long write-up to explain everything but if you at least know the basics (for this mostly clipping masks and blending options) then it'd be much faster.

Remove the shadow from the clock and picture and go for the flat look. The battery percentage at the top looks bad, too cluttered.

>>1881332
Yeah, it's just that I think the media utilities app worked with my music player on the phone but my music is on an SD card so I have to use something else (rocket player) but it also doesn't pick up Spotify even though I added both of them
Updated. Tried getting icons that I could use to change the color if need be with klwp got them from icomoon. If anyone knows a better place with more icons that would be great. Any help would be great.1/2

When i coppy and paste the link it say the creator deleted it. ( i'll have to try again ) But i have no idea What "ricing" is. Also Do you guys make your own "format" for lack of better words. Like how the icons are in specific places.
>>1881459
You probably copied the link wrong.
'Ricing' is a general term used to describe customising your phone or desktop or other device. That's how we use it, at least. It comes from its use to describe Japanese guys who heavily modded their cars (Asians=Rice). Its use to refer to car modding isn't new either https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ricing
You can rice pretty much anything.
The main aspects of phone ricing are the launcher, the icons, the wallpaper, and the widget. The launcher is what allows you to edit things, icon packs and other custom icons change how the app icons look etc., the wallpaper is obviously a central part of the rice and the widgets are optional extras that are sometimes nice but often shit and unnecessary.
With iPhone you don't have as many options as on Android, if you want to rice it at all you pretty much have to jailbreak (the Android equivalent, rooting, isn't necessary at all for ricing on droids). When you do jailbreak though you can change pretty much everything including icons, their placement, widgets, folders etc. None of this is as easy as it is on Android, sadly, and doing it will probably void any warranty you have.
With both iPhone and Android it's possible to download pre-made themes using certain launchers and apps. These will come with someone else's widgets, icons, wallpapers etc. Don't do this. Ever. It is the stupidest thing you can do cause it's cheap, unoriginal and will universally 100% of the time look worse than something you can make and edit yourself.
This post ended up longer than I expected it to be, hopefully it helps.
>>1881466
Yea! Thanks anon for clearing a lot of this up for me! I guess i copied the links wrong because they work now. I'm still doing a bit of research on jail breaking, however i hope to soon participate in future threads. Thanks again anon!
>>1881350
Im baka. Absolutely no experience. Dont even know which version to download. But I can teach myself the basics. A normal explanation that a competent photoshoper can understand would be great. I'll figure the rest out on my own
>>1881481
(different anon here)
Go on the pirate bay and download the latest photoshop version that has lots of seeds. There's not much difference between CS6 and CC so get whichever is easier to crack.
As for getting what that first anon's done: he's layered stuff, used a rendered image, used clipping masks (but you don't need to do that, you can do it a rougher way), and used a widget/klwp trick to get the girl's head in front of the clock. That's the only mildly tricky bit and it literally just involves putting a cutout of her head in the widget itself and positioning it correctly.
Hopefully he can be bothered to type out a detailed explanation but it's really not very complicated once you have Ps open in front of you.

The clock is probably made in Zooper but I'm 100% sure that the font used is Bebas Neue

Pic related is the tl;dr version
You will need two images, a background and a render.
First of, make a copy the background layer and blur it (Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur). What I did next is decrease the saturation of the blurry background by making a Black & White setting layer and reducing it's opacity to about 50%.
Next up is the boxes. You'll kind of have to figure out their position on your own based on where your icons will be. Create the boxes using the Rectangle Tool.
Now you'll add the white outline to them. Select any of the rectangle layers and then go to Layer > Layer Style > Blending Options. In the new window, check the Stroke layer and adjust it so it's inside, 3px wide and white.
You can copy the outline setting of one layer by right clicking on it and selecting Copy Layer Style and Paste Layer Style on the other rectangles.
Now, you should have that original background layer somewhere. Make one copy of it for each rectangle. Change the layers' positions so that there's one background layer above every rectangle layer. Now select a background layer and press Alt + G. This'll create a clipping mask with the layer below it (i.e. the rectangle). Repeat for all rectangles.
Now it's time to add the render. Position it where you want it to be and make a copy of it. The render's layer should be above the layer of the rectangle you want it to pop out of. Now press Alt + G again. Now select the render copy which isn't a clipping mask and delete the bottom half, i.e. the parts which aren't supposed to pop out. At this point you should have an image which looks similar to mine.
As for the clock, that's made in Zooper. Make a clock first, then make a rectangle and mold it until it resembles the shape of the head which is supposed to cover the clock. Then find the Drawing Mode and select Clear. You should now have a clock which looks like it's been partially eaten. Mess around with the options until you find the right position.

I don't even have it any more, and besides, he might have a different layout in mind. Learning to do it yourself is more beneficial in the long run.

I mean i literally just wanted the picture but i guess ill have to search for it now.

Which one? The render, the background or the finished image? Sadly I deleted the finished image.

This is awesome thank you so much anon! I will definently be using it and if i have any questions I'll ask in the new thread
>>1881905
No problem. I look forward to seeing what you make.
First time using KLWP, I'm open to any suggestions. Not too sure about the battery, and wouldn't mind getting a cell signal indicator in there somewhere.
Going to remove Ougi and Hitagi when springs comes, to keep the style consistent.
>>1882043
>style
what style?
>>1882063
Going to make everything fit well to Mokou.
>>1881334
Screen real estate isn't distributed and used evenly -- there's a rather large gap under the icons. Move the battery bar underneath the icons and make it the same width as the icon bar (if that makes sense).
>>1881773
Icons are way too big, and the clock on the cup isn't my cup of tea but eh. Icons are the main problem here, otherwise it'd be a pretty standard layout.
>>1881989
Really cute rice. 10/10. Digging the spinning of the menu icon as it expands and contracts, and the overall cleanliness and general lack of clutter.
>>1882043
>black icons on dark background
Hope you change those pics soon. Or at least add a background rectangle like you did on Mokou's screen.
Back to ricing again.
Starting simple.
Gonna add more shit later.

This is pretty cool how would I be able to make my phone like that?
Anyone recommend any white/blue icons?
I never riced my phone before, but I'm wanting too. Thinking of a cyberpunk theme. Wanting to make the lockscreen real pretty and what not mostly.
Any suggestions on icon packs I should go for that will fit?

I love this. Nichijou is my all time favorite. I was thinking of making my own riced up screen with Nichijou backgrounds, but the two I have are pretty low res.
>>1882887
If you read the OP, theres a couple of links to sites with more wallpapers, or vectors to create your own.
>>1882889
Oh yeah I know that, but I wanted to use the ones I have. But they're just screenshots of the ending theme from the show. 720p, so they didn't come out so big. I could figure out something else.
I want to add more to this.
>>1882951
Can't find any better fonts than those and cba to search from internet
>>1881440
Shit, I made an exact copy of that wallpaper not too long ago and now I can't find it. The icon pack is Simply 8-Bit by the way.

Never heard of it. I'll check it out! I still need to figure out this widget app. And find a launcher I like. Apparently I can't root my phone. It sucks to suck.
>>1878518
What music app do you use?
>>1883027
Google is your friend. I don't know what cba means.
>>1883229
Just google it, there's a browser application or you can do it locally by compiling it from its github source. I'd personally suggest Nova as a launcher, it's pretty neat. You don't need to root your phone for most things, either, so don't sweat it (I can't root mine, as there's no root available, but hey. You can do most of the visual stuff ITT without it).
>>1883377
>I don't know what cba means.
It's a British expression. It means he cums in boy's asses.
>>1883379
A priest into anime. Now that's something you don't see every day.
>>1883377
Just google which exactly? The widget app? And yeah I know you don't really need to, but it would be a bit easier. I'm not exactly liking any of these launchers myself, but Nova seems something I can deal with.
cba means "Can't be arsed" if I remember right.
How am I doing?
>>1883391
Nah, google waifu2x. I can get that, rooting can have some great benefits. But if you can't do it, don't get down about something you can't fix. Yeah, Apex is alright but Nova definitely takes the cake.
I hadn't known that, my internet lingo is pretty bad I guess whoops.
>>1883405
What's with the random dark rectangle that covers only 80% of the page (on the bottom, behind the icons and the music player)? That clock also is super distracting and most importantly,

Personally I think it looks best in either the first or second one (I'm partial to the latter). My main issue is the font and the spacing of the clock (it's just too close to the borders in my opinion) but other than that it's quite nice. 9/10 for sure. The last/third one looks bland and generic in comparison to the first two.
>>1883440
I give this one a 9.5/10.
Simple, minimalistic, and not too confusing. One thing I would like to add is the main screen icons are all over the place. See if you can synergise them/bring a better order
>>1881773
I like how you put the clock on the cup, it shows that you're thinking how everything goes together with the wallpaper. I don't even mind the large icons honestly. Nothing special, but it's not bad to look at. It works.
>>1882975
but theres enough already ;_;
>>1883405
It's pretty jarring, nothing quite fits. The additional clocks and the over-sized black album cover takes away from the paper. Your icons are a step in the right direction, but the additonal numbers at the bottom take away from the composition of them being together. On the note of composition, work on that, most the stuff on your screen looks like it was just plastered together randomly.
>>1883440
Every post looks nice, but this last one is my personal favorite, really simple. Everything fits nicely and appears to be where it should be.
Also, best girl.

>>1883559
>>1883531
7/10, I get where you got your color scheme from but I'm personally not a huge fan of the way the boxes don't extend all the way to the edges of the screen and thus have a black outline. The music widget is kinda meh too, and the clock and music should use better fonts. It's better than some rices for sure, and it's clean, but it's just very meh.
>>1883597
7-8/10, pretty standard setup but that status bar is nice. Gotta admit I like the colors, too.
>>1883632
Pretty interesting concept, would try to keep fonts consistent across status bar and the windows though.
>>1883597
What are those status and navigation bars
>>1883632
This is nice. With a few adjustments it would be what I want to have but am too lazy to make.
I'm back after getting closer to pretty much how I want. I like having the staff and dark colors that are easy on the eyes especially at night. Please tell me what you think and I also want a third screen but don't know what to put on it. 1/2
2/2 oops this is the left screen
>>1883783
I'm actually thinking about making the picture in the middle and having the two staves on each side of the picture with a full background (So it doesn't look like just basic widgets). I'm playing around a lot so any ideas would be good.
>>1883719
Well if you want, here's an archive with all the resources I used to make it if that's easier for you. I recommend placing icons on your home screen, then using the Show Layout Bounds developer option (pic related) to get guidelines for where to place and size the windows.

>I'm personally not a huge fan of the way the boxes don't extend all the way to the edges of the screen and thus have a black outline
I getcha point, but I actually did that on purpose since my phone is black, and it makes the bars pop out more. You can't even see the outline IRL, I guess it's more noticeable here.
Also, do you have any recommendations for new fonts?
Thanks for the rate. <3
