Okey so when i found this method on customizing themes for the awesome Google keyboard it literally made my day!
Okey so to get the theme you have to first download Apex or Nova launcher (you can uninstall this after theme applied).
Longpress on home and select "Shortcuts". Next hit Activities. Next find Google keyboard and select the Google keyboard that ends with "...debug settings" this creates shortcut on home page.
Then navigate to the shortcut and once you select it you will see a menu and it will have several different themes. I personally like the Gingerbread one (looks closest to Samsung keyboard but better because of autocorrect).
Afterwards you can uninstall the launcher and the theme remains!!!
Don't be shy to thank a Russian!

What am I missing? By longpress on home, you mean longpress the home screen right? So the menu to add stuff to the homescreen? then select shortcut. When I do this under apex launcher, or nova launcher, there is not a option for google keyboard in my shortcuts...

Hi there,
Do anyone know if it's possible to remove the Buttom pop-up bar.
I'd like to use WizzBar, but after installing Wizzbar, I now have the default one and Wizzbar poping up :-(
Sorry but no there is no way to remove it.

I am incorrect, I just noticed a new app.
How do you change the icons on this thing (task manager, calendar, world clock etc)? Surely it's configurable ....

That's terrible Are there any mods or anything to get rid of it, or force changes or something? That's pretty weird that they didn't just make it configurable. What's the thinking behind that?
I am just guessing but I don't believe the "mini" apps on the touchwiz taskbar are like regular apps. Regular apps can't be used in a multitasking way like the touchwiz "mini" apps on the taskbar, which is why you can't place your own apps there. I believe Samsung would have to develope more "mini" apps first.
If you get one of the android launchers from the market like launcher pro or adw ex, they each have docks that you can place your own apps on. On adw ex you can even have the dock rise up and disappear like touchwiz's taskbar.

The pop-up touch wiz/apps bar is just annoying I only ever use it for task manager I wish you could not have it and just have tas man as an app or widget. The bar only over pops up when I accidentaly press it when playing a game. It's totally rubbish since the apps are not configurable.
Samsung take it off and/or make it configurable it's the biggest bug bear I have with Samsung tabs.

yeah i know, but since alot of people use custom launchers that (most of them) support icon changes on homescreen, it's an easier, faster way. just fyi for all people here using i.e. nova that they dont have to go through all of this.

Greetings!
Tired of the same layout of your home screens? want to try something new?
Well, I present to you my modified home screen - VECTOR UI
All that you need in one homescreen! PLUS a unique combination of widgets and arts!
AVAILABLE IN WHITE AND BLACK VERSIONS
Well, I initially made it for my Xperia Acros S but the ofcourse, I made one for you all to share it!
Tell me if you want to try it and I'll post a tutorial how to do it im just sharing..
The pebble inside the circle serves as the icon, once tapped, it'll open the app as named and
ofcourse, once social networking site's name was tapped, it will open as well
TUTORIAL
TUTORIAL:
You need to be very patient in doing this one.. but it worth it!
=====
• REQUIRED APPS:
Nova Launcher/Prime – recommended for swipe down to see status bar
Desktop Visualizer
Zooper Widgets
Eye in the Sky widgets
UCCW
Multipicture Live Wallpaper
and a bit patience
If you prefer BLACK : Download the base image from:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gbrdcjow96x8vz5/amTEerYVBI#f:BlackFinal copy1.jpg
if your prefer WHITE ownload the base image from:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gbrdcjow96x8vz5/amTEerYVBI#f:WhiteFinal copy.jpg
UCCW Battery:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gbrdcjow96x8vz5/tywsIacwNv/bat.uzip
Put it in your SD Card.
=====
APPLICATION SET-UP/SETTINGS:
NOVA LAUNCHER:
• 12×12 desktop grid
• Hide status bar
• Hide dock/disable
• Gesture down for status bar (optional prime)
• App label = disable/do not show
————-
Multipicture Live Wallpaper (MPLW)
Menu bar/tap and hold desktop – wall paper – live wall paper.
• Make sure the common settings – Crop/Resize Ratio is FIT TO FULL SCREEN
• Screen 1 settings – picture source – select the file (white or black depends to ur phone)
APPLY WALL PAPER.
———-
EYE IN THE SKY WIDGETS
• Select the forecast and customize your desire color.
I prefer teal since it matches the font color for text/calls/mail
• It will display the icons of clouds etc… so i made it thinner to hide the clouds
—————-
UCCW – battery/sms/call/mail count
• Download from https://www.dropbox.com/s/hsxcsiycw5mwhj1/bat.uzip
• Copy to /sdcard/UltimateCustomClockWidget folder
• I assume you know how to use it and import as file the uzip file… resize to match/aline with text/calls/Mail
(ask me if you do not know how to use UCCW.. search first)
————————-
DESKTOP VISUALIZER
• Basically, the marbles inside will serve as the app icon.. so we need blank PNG.
download at https://www.dropbox.com/s/gzmnntu3ewb5x75/Copy of blank.png
• Always select 1×1 DeskVis widget and just resize it to fit the icons.
just set up the widgets(do not configure yet to avoid confusion) see image: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8exa8nzsqewttre/tutDV.png
• after polotting, then configure each one, icons will be the BLANK PNG and select the app to launch
• select NONE for the touch effect
• Clear label text/name
• Vibration, select on or system/haptic
do that for all of the DV set ups and lastly..
tap and hold on anywhere (not with the widgets) Nova actions, select APP Drawer.
just fit it near the APP marble and for the icon, select blank as well.
Go to nova settings again and lock desktop to avoid moving invisible DV widgets.
I almost forgot, for zooper widget.. just select the default from the list and modify the location/colors if you want too… recommended to select 5×1 above size.
DONE…
thanks and enjoy.. comment for any help.

yeah.. TIP: you can add another set of screen on MPLW and select the other color variant... so you'll have both black and whiite by swiping left ryt
It looks awesome, but I've already wasted so much of my time on making UI tweaks only to lose them when I switch ROMs.
Is there anyway to backup the homescreen settings, so when you flash a new ROM homescreen settings can be restored?
I tried many diff backups and nothing has worked. All I get is blank boxes where the icons were.
Thanks!
@emompong You could use Buzz Launcher to share your homescreen though?
wow looks really awesome!! gonna try ASAP!!
Compatible with Android > 4.1.1
"The menu button is not pining, it's back! This button is alive again!
It has been revived! ..."
A very simple mod to remove that pesky overflow button for those of you who have physical buttons or just don't like it appearing in the top right corner. Note that this also removes the button from the navigation bar, although I have included instructions on how to preserve the navigation bar menu button. Please reboot after installing.
Tested on 4.4.2 AOSP
Changelog:
V1.1.2:
-Fixed app not working? Sorry about that.
(It worked though ADB for some reason)
V1.1.1:
-Disabled for Android <4.1.1 (incompatible)
-Removed UI
V1.1:
-Enabled for Android 2.3+
--Please verify compatibility
-Added some substance to the UI
V1:
Initial release

Yes, it is the 3-dot menu button. I intended it to remove the button in the action bar, but I'm not sure what happens to the menu button in the navigation menu. I think it removes that too.
At last! thank you so much! That menu was a waste of space on i9100!
Thanks for this! Worked beautifully!

i vote yes for atleast ics/jb and if not too much, why not gb too.
great idea, i never thought of this before, only felt annoyed by it on stock i9100/i9300 so i dont have kk (yet)
the buttons indeed are pesky, if you have physical button, menu should popup from bottom, near to finger where it was pressed, not from the top, hate that. :silly:
this is what I wanted..
awesome..
Somewhere it's gone, somewhere it stays. Luckily I've installed this module to make the button disappear in WhatsApp and in there it's gone
Keep on with this good job :good:
Awesome! Congratulation
Thanks for the mod
But can you disable the app Icon? because I think app icon in app drawer is redundant. It's better to keep it minimalist and we can access via Xposed modules.
Thanks!
Yup I'm going to hide the icon (I didn't know how to do it) and try to deal with more apps (I know Pandora, for one, still has the overflow button)

You want the icon not to be shown in the drawer? If I'm getting it right you can give a try to this and add it to your activity:
Code:
ComponentName componentToDisable = new ComponentName("your.app.package",
"your.app.package.youractivityname");
getPackageManager().setComponentEnabledSetting(componentToDisable,PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED,
PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);

For my setup (I9100 with latest CM 11 nightly build) disabling overflow with Gravity Box doesn't work. I've talked with GB's dev about this as well.
About the list, I'll make it in this post, starting with the one from rush25 and adding more, editing the post itself. If apps have generic names I'm referring to the version provided by CyanogenMod in their builds.

I've noticed that double tap 2 sleep doesn't work with Apex Launcher. Only double tap to wake does. Any way I can get it to work with that launcher since our phones are capable of doing it?
yes download a screen off app from the play store, works perfect with nova launcher
remember it only works when you tap on an empty space
If you have Xposed installed, install G4 Tweaksbox and enable "double-tap the navbar to sleep".

If you have Greenify installed, configure Apex to "Launch shortcut" to "Hibernate + Lockscreen" for the "Double-tap on desktop" action. Works beautifully *and* hibernates running apps at the same time.
