Launcher 7? - Nook Color Themes and Apps

Anyone else messed with Launcher 7 on the nook? it emulates windows phone 7. the tile layout seems perfect for the large screen.

Sorry, that's disgusting at tablet size

I've been wondering how this works out on NC. I'd like to see videos of it sometime.

Correction - at any size.
Metro UI is horrible, and hope it dies sooner rather than later...

Personally, I kind of like how boxy and simple it is, but hey, no accounting for taste. I'm mostly concerned about the resolution and how it functions in NC, specifically. Thanks for the heads-up, Hüsker Pat.

I tried it as well - it is just a waste of the huge screen real estate.
Putting some interesting widgets and and a bunch of icons (shortcuts) is more useful than this...
But I can see the appeal - on phone screens.
But then again, some like it simple.

I have been using this for a few weeks now. It is a really neat and tidy launcher. It is also really easy to download pictures, resize and load them onto the launcher - all within the tablet. Makes it look good and gives access to favorite programs.
I have attached a screenshots which show use of photos for app launching. (edit Colours came out with a funny blue tinge :/)

Yeah, lets hope that everything that we don't personally like DIES! Who cares that others like it? My opinion is all that is important.
Diversity is what makes life interesting & those who embrace new or different paths or even encourage diverse & differing interests are the catalyst for invention & creativity. IMO

Have you done the book tile by yourself or do you have a good download link for tiles.
I like this launcher a lot, it´s so easy to use and customize.

A Thought - For the upcoming roms [Time Clock]

Like many of you guys, I really appreciate the benefits of a nice big clock widget. And I find the time on the application bar to be very redundant. I would like to see an option for that to be disabled in any of the newer upcoming roms. It will save precious space
Here's what it might look like

I was going to do this to my vanilla bar morph... bc i use beautiful widgets...
i still have to test my new services.jar maybe ill use both...

yeah, there will definitely be instances when you'd want the time there. i think an option to display it on and off would be very handy

This is an option on cm6. I really can't wait for that to hit our phones!

I have been rocking a white notification bar since day 2... I got the date and notifications text black... Whenever I edit the clock it fc loops..
I'm going to start looking into this..

It would be great if the time display in the menu bar could be dynamic. When in an app have it display, when on the home screen, have it hidden.
What power widget is that? Definitely more useful than the android one.
I got the gauge battery and the switch pro widget. Highly recommend it. There are many different configurations.

What clock widget is that? I've been going crazy looking for it.
Thx!
it's fairly straight forward to remove yourself if you like. If you check this thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780614 There's a walkthrough. But be aware on the SGS the line item numbers for the clock and alarm are different than what he shows in that thread.

[Q] Unconventional Launchers?

I've grown tired of the regular android look of 4x4 icons, dock and widgets. I want a different type of launcher ( I wish i had the stock launcher for the kindle fire), but something that is very different, any ideas? P.s. I've tried launcher 7...
Rocket Launcher is pretty unconventional. Not my style, but check it out. http://goo.gl/JrCBb
I've tried it too, but it wasn't snappy enough, and limited customization. It was a great start though. thanks
Wave launcher: http://goo.gl/zMRW6
Best money spent on market other than Tasker. No, it's not an actual home screen but it's an excellent launcher!
If you are patient and persistent, Sweeter Home is real nice. It is in perpetual beta, and the dev isn't really supporting it, but you can find users here in xda.
I'm including a few screenshots. The right side has tabs that bring up boxes of user selected apps. This is my setup. Search for sweeterskins and see what others have done also. YouTube has a few videos.
You can't know your limits until you exceed them.

One handy feature I forgot to mention is that you can show and hide settings switches and widgets as they are needed. You can see in my screenshot that my GPS widget comes into view when I am selecting a navigation app. This gives me a heads up on GPS status and a chance to activate if off. Up to 9 widgets can occupy the same spot and you can select which one is going to be displayed.

Pretty cool! I'm going to give that a go.
BTW, the home page is http://www.sweeterhome.com/, and they just released a new beta on 10 Feb 2012.
launcherPro allows you to re-size widgets and icons kinda stretches them though

i like go launcher
LauncherPro and Go Launcher aren't really that unconventional. Neither is ADW nor Nova, for that matter.
Btw, duckredbeard: what theme are you using with sweeter? Looks quite sweet!
It's my own theme...look for SD004. It will take some work to make it work for you as I have alot of Tasker and MinimalisticText going on. I will do some edits to make it more adaptable for others. Check back to this thread for updates on when it is available.

Make Your Own Clock Widget

Just found this app the other day and love it. It is a highly customizable clock widget. You can design your own clock or download one of the many prebuilt ones. Dev is super responsive too! App is still beta but is awesome! I have no connection with this app, I just wanted to share a good app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hubalek.android.makeyourclock
That's pretty cool, thanks for sharing man!
Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to play with this a bit.
Have you heard of ultimate custom clock widget? In my humble opinion it is the one and only app that allows you to have the most freedom and ease in regards to customization. It is amazing just thought I'd let you know in case you haven't seen it.

Wow i just checked that out and it has a ton of features! Checking it out but seems like it will take forever to design.
I like "Make Your Own Clock" because "Ultimate" overwhelmed me. If there was a way to use Ultimate on the PC and download the clock to my phone I could do it, but I'm just not that nimble on a 4.3" screen!
Sent from this here thing that can taptalk
The ultimate one is growing on me. I could easily waste a day or two at work messing with it. Lol.
Problem is it doesnt resize well.
Edit: actually it does. Just needed to read the faq.
I think either one of these plus screencast should make it a lot better to play with.

I'm glad you like it! It seems overwhelming at first but once you get going its easy. Plus its fun to import a skin from the thread and modify it and use them as a starting point for you. I thought that I'd come across rude after I posted in here cause afterwards I thought about it and I could it have been misconstrued as an attempt to hijack your thread. Apologies on that.
Btw a trick I use for finding new skins is searching on Google under the images tab. Adjust the time parameters to last week or 24 hours and you can find skins that aren't posted to xda enjoy and have fun. Hope to see some of your skins in the official skins thread!

Don't know if I'm missing something or not. But I am not seeing the widget in the widgets list. I created a clock and exported it. I see it on my SD card. But I can't figure out how to set on my desktop. I watched over half the video before having to start work also. Any help would be great. I would love to get rid of the stock sense clock.
EDIT: Nevermind. The widgets decided they wanted to appear last night.

A little~But I think that they're fine. We can use that kind of design on both iOS and WP, it works nicely on both.
Well, I suggest changing it a bit and taking a closer look to WP design guidelines. WP is not supposed to have this type of skeuomorphism.

Looks great!
Will definitely try it out.
Quick question though. There are several apps out there that feature countdowns. How come no one ever does a "count up"? I work in a law firm and there isn't a single app that I can find where I can say "what day is 30/45/60/90/120 days from today?" Can't even ask Cortana. Maybe it's just not as simple to create as one would think.
1.2
1. Make it much smoother!
2. Redesigned the Transition animation!
3. Redesigned the Label of Countdowns, I have to say, it’s really amazing!
4. Fix a bug.

Post your favorite ZTE Locker Wallpapers here!!!

I am opening this thread to allow everyone to have access to the best ZTE Locker daily collection wallpapers. This is particularly important if like me you forgot to save a favorite wallpaper - they together removed the following day.
To save a wallpaper you just tap on the heart symbol and then move it to the MFVKeyguard folder by saving it as a favorite.
I have attached some of my favorites.
View attachment Wallpapers.zip
One picture I missed is a picture of the palace from the wallpaper below but from a different perspective. I would appreciate if you could post it!

Hey, I'm sorry if this might be a bit off-topic but since this thread is about ZTE Locker it's probably the best opportunity I'll have to bring this up. (without cluttering up the forum with a new thread)
tl;dr - I suggest some MiFavor UI improvements
So, if you use ZTE Locker that's great and all, but all pics are different.
And in cases such as the one I have attached, the clock is not clearly visible, nor are the icons at the bottom.
And with your launcher, it samples your set wallpaper for a hue and alters the MiFavor QuickSettings background based upon that. But, this can lead to some... questionable results. For example, if I were to set my wallpaper to something that is primarily yellow, ZTE is put in a dilemma.
White on bright yellow isn't really readable, so they'd have to use a darker shade. But have you ever seen dark yellow?
It's one nasty ass color. (look up #888800)
And I know different people have different color tastes, but there's still certain colors and combinations that are considered unfavorable. Yay for color theory!
So, with yellow they'd probably be best off using black text and icons.
But a color like purple is usually thought of as a deep color (though lavender is nice too) so they can stick with the white icons and text.
Ultimately, it's probably best to give the user to decide whether to use the dynamic view or to set their own color manually.
I just feel like ZTE is very new to the UI scene. But, I'm not a fan of ditching MiFavor for completely stock Android. I think ZTE has something to bring to the table. They just need to work on their color sampling and maybe make some UI adjustments based on the user's preferences.
Anyhow, that's my 2 cents
Definitely one of my favorites!
Definitely kept me smiling for the rest of the day

i just found 3 new wallpapers, thank you
I have about 70 of them on my phone
Also, I did a reverse image search on one and found they steal them from other sites.
It seemed like a handful were on a photo of the week thing on usatoday.com but I can't remember
Can anyone upload a compressed (doesn't compress much I know) archive of the ZTE wallpapers? Ever since I unlocked my bootloader it no longer loads for me, it just says weak signal no matter what. I don't know if it's a coincidence and there's something wrong with their server or if it won't allow modified systems to connect.
Here's a few more from yesterday
