Finally, I finished this project!
Today I'm present to you the ultimate custom change of my phone.
Updated wallpaper to fix some icon not in the right place.
For this theme you will need:
1. Apex Launcher
2. Widgetlocker $2.99
3. Minimalistic Text
4. My Stuffs
5. Time!!
Big Thanak to Colorfulvisuals for his theme! I had edited to make it fit to our arc and customized it my own way.
Let's do it!
Start by copy everything to sd card.
1. Go to Apex setting, backup & restore, restore apex setting, restart apex.
2. set wallpaper.
3. Long press desktop, add widget, Minimalistic text 5*1, restore Top Clock, ok, Resize and scale it to filt the top.
4. Long press desktop, add widget, Minimalistic text 3*1, restore Battery, drag it to top left under the text clock.
5. Long press desktop, add widget, Minimalistic text 2*1, restore littile clock, ok, Drage it to top right under text clock. (For digital clok if you want)
6. Drop app to your desktop to the right place (Remember that the sceen is 10*9), long press on the icon, edit, click on the icon, select picture, choose blank icon in you sd card, ok. (Test it by click on the place that you put the icon on)
7. Do step 6 for all your icon
8. Open widgetlocker, restore, lockscreen, remove the clock widget and place the new one, minimalistic text 2*1, locksceen clock, ok.
Tips:
I recommend to use Andy logo to launch app drawer and the four dots at the button, (use blue for phone, green for messaging, yellow for note, brown for anything you like)
Create folder in games, media, social, root so you can add alot of icon in it.
You should put two icons next to each other for camera, play store and google, so you can easily press it because the icon is very small and it's transparent you can't see it.
Q&A

After watching the video demoing the Windows 8 tablet I decided to try and recreate as much of the UI as possible.
If this sounds like something you want, you'll need the following apps:
-ADW EX Launcher
-Desktop Visualizer
-Multipicture Live Wallpaper
Optional:
-Palmary Weather Pro
Setup:
-Place the adw_ex_settings.xml file into your /sdcard directory and restore settings in ADW. Or set columns to 9 and rows to 5, make sure you have widgets set to stretch in advanced and turn off wallpaper scrolling.
-Set the wallpaper in Multipicture Live Wallpaper. Or you can try Wallpaper Wizardii if you want, but even though we're only going to be using the one wallpaper I found Multipicture was easier to use.
-Place a shortcut to open/close the app drawer under "Start", use the transparent.png for an icon and delete the text. Then arrange the 2x1 and 1x1 desktop visualizer widgets as you see fit.
*Optional* Modding Palmary Weather Pro:
-Download Apk Manager from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
-Pull the Palmary apk and place it into the modding folder, then run the Apk Manager script and select 1 to unzip the apk.
-Unzip the weather backgrounds and icons (optional) I provided into their respective directories, overwriting the existing files.
-Press 3 to zip it back up and then press 4 to re-sign the apk.
-Install the app and change the background color by choosing different transparencies in Palmary settings.
Please note that if you edit the background png's I provided they will not work afterwards. If you want to add more colors or change the ones I included, you'll have to refer to this guide here: http://modmymobile.com/forums/404-mo...ng-images.html
I hope you like the look, and if you make some new icons or wallpapers please upload them to the thread. If enough new ones get made I'll add them to this post.
Files:
Wtab8_icons - icons, wallpaper, adw settings
Wtab8_psd_fonts - 2x1, 1x1 psd files, Segoe fonts
Wtab8_weather_mod - backgrounds and icons for use with Palmary Weather.
The Palmary icons are still kind of a work in progress, if you live in an area that gets severe weather things can look a bit busy.

You can stop here if you want, but if you want to make the Palmary Weather widget look more like a Windows 8 live tile you'll need to take some additional steps...
First you'll need to download Apk Manager from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
Once you've pulled the Palmary apk, place it into the modding folder and press 1 to unzip the contents into the projects folder, then simply extract the weather backgrounds and icons (optional) into their respective directories. Then press 3 to zip it back up and then press 4 to sign it. Once that's done you can install the app again. Then you can change the background color via the transparency option.
If you want to add more colors or change the ones I included, you'll have to refer to this guide here: http://modmymobile.com/forums/404-mo...ng-images.html
If you change the background png's I included they will not work afterwards.

Use the same method used to modify the palmary weather widget on ADW. Once the apk is unpacked, find the icons and make them transparent.

I want to use the stock ICS icons in the nova launcher, does anyone know how to do this?
So when you add an app to your dock or one of the homescreens, a different icon pops up?
Do you have any icon packs installed?
same here please

Download an ADW ICS Theme. This one from KovDev works perfectly. Long press the icon, tap edit, click on the image, select Image File, then select ADW Icons or something like that. Then you'll have the choice of using that ICS icon from there. Works perfectly.
EDIT: You can use any ADW theme this way (at least individual icons) in Nova Launcher. I do it all the time, so I know it works.
EDIT 2: This will only be for individual icons on the homescreen, not in the app drawer.
If you download the icons, you press and hold the app with the icon you want to change, select edit, then click on the icon. From here it will give you an option to pick from the gallery or file browser, just pick the icon file and you're good to go.

Thanks guys worked perfectly. i feel so dumb now.
It would be nice to be able to change multiple icons with a pack, much like launcher pro. :-/
Hello guys,
Looking at the number of people asking for a Metro UI look Guide i have decided to make this,This is my First ever guide,So if i go wrong somewhere go easy on me
Necessary Softwares Required
1) ADW Launcher
2)Desktop Visualizer
3)Multipicture Live Wallpaper
4)Minimalistic Text
Step 1: ADW Launher
* Install ADW launcher
* Go to ADW settings -> UI Presets -> main dock-> disable main dock
* Screen Preference-> Desktop Columns =9
Rows=5 ( you can give rows and columns number like you please,this just adjusts the widgets size )
*Under Advanced settings in screen preference - Enable Overlap Widgets
* You might Notice an Annoying blue line on top of the screen (to Remove it)
-long press on the screen and Select Launcher Actions
-Add Show/Hide Status Bar.then add it to screen click it.blue line disappears and Delete the show/hide status bar you have added.
*Disable Wallpaper Scrolling.
Okay now you are done ADW launcher for now! Good job! Now lets procees to the next step .
Step 2: Multilivewallpaper
*Long press on main screen -> wallpaper->live wallpaper -> you can select individual wallpapers for each screen(this is left to you)
* So after selecting wallpapers,you can change the transtition effect and stuff to your taste!
Step 3: Desktop VisualizeR
*Download the Icons pack i have attached and extract it in you tab.
*On Main Screen ->Long Press->Widgets->Desktop visualizer-> Choose 2x1 or 2x2 which ever you like (1x1 is also fine) .
*You will notice a widget will be added on your screen -> click it-> now it asks you to choose an icon -> select an icon from the icon pack you have extracted(consider you are making " books" widget.so select books image icon)
*Next it will ask for an Action to be executed -> select launch an app-> Ebook app(moon reader or whatever you use)
*Clear the Text Label Which will be below .
* Press ok and you are done
***REPEAT Step 3 every time you want to add an widget .
Step 4: Minimalistic Text(if you get confused ,i would recommend you to see some youtube videos on how to configue minimalistic text)
* long press on the screen ->minimalistic text widget->2*1 Size
*Untick show background
*Horizontal block ->left
*vertical Block->Center
*predefined layout->custom
now click custom layout which would be enabled down
*now you will see some boxes .long press them and drag and drop on the bin (its like removing an icon from the homescreen)
*After Removing everything ->select the green plus sign to add button->misc->static text(drag and drop on top i,e left to the green plus button)
*click on static text->give text "start"
Style->accented
*done press minus->press ok
*Now go to Accented it will be few rows below custom layout
*you can select the text style which u want.(i myself used size 50 ,thats all i did not make any more changes)
*Check "disable Action on tap" .Check this one
*press ok and your done
Step 4:
* you will be able to see the minimalistic widget you created ,drag and keep at one side.
*long press->launcher action->open app drawer
*now long press the open app drawer icon you created. Delete the text you see now click on the icon->select picture->select the transparent picture i provided.
*now place this "invisible icon on top left corner*
Now what our intention is we want to overlap the start text we created from minimalistic text and invisible icon ,so that when we click start ,app drawer should open. now bring in the start widget on same row ,notice u will not be able to place widget on top of each other so just place it by its side,then long press on start widget and edit then resize the widget so that it overlaps on the invisible app drawer widget.
Step 5: HD widgets
I used this app for the Clock and Weather widgets
End Product should look like the Screenshot i have Attached.
Thank you.
Hi dear friend...
Good guide you wrote, I didn't vote because I didn't read it all...
Can you please put the required APPs on this thread, so that it will be all together? If they're free, of course...
Thanks...

Hi,
Those icons aren't really icons, but rather text used in the Zooper Widget. To change these icons, as well as their associated shortcuts, try this:
1. Long press on the homescreen - Advanced - Unlock Widgets (come back here to lock them back into place at the end).
2. Long press on the top widget - Configure - Layout.
3. Now as you can see, there are many Rich Text Module with letters underneath, those are the 'icons'. For example, 'a' is the clock icon.
4. To change the icon/text, tap a module (e.g. 'a'), scroll to Edit Text Manually, and replace 'a' with another letter. Here is a reference to all the icons: http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.co....pdf?key=chMx6D8HCwHmdWscEnOsag&ts=1400226165
5. Once you've changed the icon, tap back, then select Module OnTap. Change it to the shortcut/app that you prefer (you can swipe between tabs).
6. Once you're happy, exit everything, and use the same method to the other widgets if necessary.
7. Lock the widgets back into place (Step 1).
It looks like a lot of effort, but it gets much easier with practice. For more information on editing themes, see our tutorial videos here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPXmDjRU7Q9daVeQYX78PNrUp0BAc9AIn
As the title says , Share your Note 20 Home Screen once you get it
For now..
My setup...
What theme or mods are those? that is sick bro
Setup
Lawnchair V2 Launcher
KWGT - Both Widgets from Flow for KWGT
Month: Calendar Widget on 2nd Homescreen
Icons - Lotus Icon Pack
Green Blue gradient search for the background picture
Rainpaper for the water effect
Folders are shown with a swipe up on the icon. Set up the folder like normal and then select the 3 dots on the side. Then enable Use Cover Mode. The first app you start with will be what shows on the homescreen. Just pressing the icon will open that app.
