Hey all,
This is a port of brobot175's MetroUI tested only on King Kang and 4.1.1 alpha build, all credit should go to him. I have been searching high and low for what I want out of a home screen and thanks to him I finally can configure it. You can customize everything, and I'm sure most of you can make better screens than my screenshot setup below.
Known issues/FAQ in Post 2.
I can port this to other ROMs if you post SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk from the ROM download file!
Changelog:
Code:
-July 14th 0.1
-Updated to MetroUITilesB7.zip with 45 additional tiles and Windows 8 like wallpapers
-revamped default grid layout and tiles for better padding and margin depths
-ability to backup and restore successfully via Nova Launcher
-added Nova launcher with hidden settings enabled/cofigured and preset home screen desktop configuration
-Added plain green square and regtangle for UberMusic tiles
-fixed issue where flashing theme causes desktop visualizer and pulse to have to be reinstalled

4. Restart system and choose to open home screen with Nova Launcher if there is a list and you should see this:

6. To change icons/actions when tapping them:
-Open Desktop Visualizer in app drawer - Menu button - Refresh Widgets - Edit Mode
-Navigate back to home screen and tap widgets to edit what tile and action you want. Tiles are on your Internal SD card under Big Tiles and Small Tiles.

Faq/Tips:
Blurry Widgets Fix:
After resizing widgets the aspect ratio/text can get blurred. To permanently fix this until you decide to resize the widget again:
Go into Desktopvisualizer through app drawer.
Select menu - refresh widgets - edit mode.
Navigate to home screen.
Tap on widget which will bring up editing options. Just select Ok button right away and it refreshes to look good for current size.
Go back into Desktopvisualizer and menu - refresh widgets - normal mode.
Nova Launcher Settings that you shouldn't have to set manually:
From Home screen - Menu button - Nova Settings
Hold the Vol Down button for a few seconds
This unlocks a section called "Labs"- Enable big grid size in there and preload widget layouts
Set Grid Size to 15x15
Enable widget overlap and resize all widgets
Disable dock
Force Landscape screen orientation
Scroll speed and animation speed to "Faster than light"
Uncheck show notification bar(set gesture if you have paid version)
Known Issues:
FIXED in 0.1Pulse Widget- Currently Broken Above yellow screenshot is my workaround but it should look cleaner if the widget worked.
~Workaround:
Create your normal pulse widget small and a desktop visualizer 4x4 for a tile color in folder extracted on your sd card from zip.
Overlap the Pulse widget over solid color widget.
MetroUI Email Widget- Currently Broken, not showing as a widget of home screen list.
To Do/Coming Soon
1.ADDED in 0.1 Figure out a backup of widgets solution.
-Apex lacks the ability to backup your widgets if you update/change your ROM. Nova has the ability, but it's grid size lacks the ability to keep tiles close to each other. Researching alternatives/open for suggestions.
-Just need to be able to add even more functionality, will revisit this.
2. Fix email widget.
3.FIXED in 0.1 Fix Pulse widget.
4.ADDED in 0.1Obtain music widget missing from theme and integrate it.
-Cannot share due to piracy. App is called UberMusic from Play Store with free clear widget and added "zgreenregtangle.jpg" for tile background in MetroUI\Big Tiles on your SD Card.
5. Learn how to integrate this in Theme Manager/CM9 Nightly Builds if possible.
6. Create a tile for Pandora.
7. Create even more widgets with the same font as the "Messaging" one.
8. Beef up and fix that horrendous looking "News" screen layout.
9. Integrate some live tile integration! somehow...
10. Add a windows 8 like lockscreen.

Is there anything specific that would keep this from working on other ROMS like Flapps AOSP xXx because this looks amazing

Thank you! It depends if SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk are different across the ROMs. Those are the only 2 files I edited pulled from King Kang Rom.
I can make it for other ROMs if someone wants to test it, let me know.

No problem, feels awesome to give back as this is my cherry popper for dev stuff. Consider it payback for your awesome APN settings that have proven well for me

Haha yeah i'm surprised myself at how easy some of the stuff is once you learn how to do it. Yeah it's the Pulse News app, but it is optional, you see it on yellow background screenshot home screen posted.

It depends on grid size settings but generally yeah, it won't be the same. I use locked in landscape mode all of the time, still can voice search one handed.
