Google Experience Launcher for Nexus 10 (or any other tablet) - Nexus 10 Themes and Apps

SOLVED by Google http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...el-on-tablets-and-more-apk-download/#download

Thanks man. I wanted this so bad but when I tried the one from the nexus 5 it was all messed up. I'll test this out and respond. But is the battery life OK with the launcher or does the always on Google now listening cause it to waste faster?

Battery life isn't affected for as far as I've noticed. Are you testing on Nexus 10 or on another tablet? Hope it'll work out for you

It seems Google has updated the search app and thereby the basis of the GEL. I'm going to test it on 4.4 perhaps they've made the right adjustments themselves!

I tried it and no it still has the uncentered issue and all messed up. The drawer has way too many icons. I think you still need a nodded version with kitkat

Is anyone else getting graphical glitches with GEL when you try to swipe from the last homescreen, and the white box appears? I get odd flickering on mine. I also noticed it's more visible with larger sized wallpapers, the stock ones doesn't have the problem that badly.
The stock 4.4 launcher doesn't have this problem, or Nova/Apex:

This is also with the most recent Google Search apk.

This launcher is absolutely horrible, it lags like hell. I'm running the fixed one, with updated Google search. App drawer open/close animation lags, swiping to google now lags, swiping app drawer pages is slow and i bet it has low framerates as well. Absolutely horrible!

I finally got 4.4 with the factory image.. Messed up 4.3 so much I could not get the OTA installed in any way. But now with the GEL only some slight trouble occurs when sliding into Google Now. Will test further tomorrow but everything else seem to working incredibly smooth for now.

Anyone having glitches when switching to a homescreen with widgets? I'm running stock KitKat

Nice to see I'm not the only one noticing glitches with GEL. I guess it's simply not ready yet for the N10. It runs fine on my friend's 2013 N7 but then again that has a similiar resolution to the N5.

I must say that the install of the KitKat factory image has resolved the horizontal lines glitching in widgets on GEL. Sliding into Google Now remains stuttering a bit, but I didn't encounter any other issues yet. If it is not too much of a trouble I would recommend flashing the KitKat factory image..

This is weird. I installed the launcher from Android Police (following a link from the link in the first post) and while it's working great (no glitches, no hitches, no lag, perfectly smooth), I'm also missing the transparent notification bar and softkeys... You guys all seem to have transparency and with it sub-par performance. Am I missing something or is there something weird going on?

Transparent notification bar and softkeys are disabled on the Nexus 10 by default. If you want to enable them, read this thread - enable transparency (mod)

CM10/AOKP: Full Galaxy S3 Touchwiz UX, Theme, Widget Add-On For Jelly Bean

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1669190
I was asked about this on the general forum CM10 thread, not my work at all but just want to share the original 200+ page thread for those of you not aware. There are many derivatives of this add-on, but out of 10+ similar add-on's I have tried this one works most flawlessly. Launcher is 4x4 but as a result it works perfectly with accuweather widget. Even our own Note 2 is ditching the extra column and I like the bigger icons showing more icon detail on this over having more icons on the same screen.
Unlike any other package I have tried, this add-on when flashed with CWM morphs the actual system UI and core apps like dialer/MMS into S3 touchwiz look. It is also based on the new Jelly Bean leak so has speed and fluidity advantages. Just download 1.3.3 (last item on the download section) from mrmad.net, flash, wipe cache/dalvik and enjoy! CWM is required unfortunately to morph the system applications, without it you will just get launcher, widget and miss the dialer/UI tweaks. I tested this with quincyatt CM10 M2 and it works perfectly, and should work with all CM10 based ROMS (Paranoid, AOKP, etc). It has everything you need, just works and there is no messing with RWXX permissions!
Like many of you, I find Galaxy S3's nature UX to be a huge selling point. Note 1's gingerbread UI screamed "cheap iPhone copycat", but S3's touchwiz UX was so good that I would have stayed stock if Samsung treated their customers right and gave me the same visual treatment when they gave us the ICS upgrade. I love the new accuweather widget and I find it much better than any of the sense-inspired widgets I have tried, and I love the way they made Android feel warm, natural and inviting.

No, this is just a launcher. From what I know, those other apps require TW framework and other Libraries that arent in AOSP ROMs. It's a launcher like Nova or ADW. Only affects the homescreen and app drawer

I have a great lust of alternative apps for snote and memo paid and free I don't miss touchwiz in that aspect just miss stable builds . But I rather have a ROM that plays my games at full fps than slow n sluggish

[ROM][JB4.2.1] Eclipse 3.1 - Grouper - Welcome to the Dark!

Here we go guys and gals! This is the beginning of Eclipse 3.1! This does not have as many features as the 4.1.2 just yet. So chances are if there is a feature that you are missing it will come in a future build. I plan on releasing builds frequently as we progress in a more feature rich build.

I'm excited to have the better quick settings as toggles as they should have been from Google. Having them be shortcuts to their perspective settings is dumb. Can't wait to get off work today and try this ROM out!
I installed this a while ago and so far everything is running great, the only thing I noticed is that the changelog shows that it has the Trinity kernel but it does not appear to be there once the ROM is installed.
Edit: The only thing I've noticed is that when playing Need for Speed: Most Wanted the steering is now off about 8-9 degrees to the right, I have to hold the device tilted to the left to maintain a straight line while driving.
Edit 2: I got the steering issue figured out and all is well.

Nice to see 4.2 ROMs pop up here and there.
But considering all the complaints about the stock version, how's the battery life and performance? What about screen calibration?
I know benchmark results don't always have anything to do with real life but still it'd be fun to see some results in Quadrant, Velamo, Antutu.

Installed this ROM recently after upgrading my Nexus 7 (grouper) to 4.4.
On the Note 2 I:
1) Backed up stock in ClockworkMod Touch.
2) Flashed the ROM
3) Flashed Paranoid Android's 4.4 compatible Google Apps
4) Flashed SuperSU
5) Factory Reset in CWM
booted that Sumamabich up...
Then:
1) Let Play Store download all my apps
2) enabled Developer Options and changed the runtime to ART.
After reboot:
1) Tried Camera..system DID NOT reboot.
2) As many have noted, "Recent Apps" does not function when the Home button is long pressed. You have two options that do not require modifying build.prop:
a) Download an app from the playstore (like "recentapps) to shortcut to this menu. Or
b). Install Nova Launcher (other launchers may also allow this functionality) to enable gestures. I set "double tap" to open the recent apps menu.
So far, everything else works great. I've noted significantly better battery life over stock 4.1.2 and a subjective performance boost. ART has caused no glitches thus far.
I would have put this in the ROM post in the OD forum, but I can't post there yet.

Battery still 85% 48min screen on time 5h 49min on battery. Sweet!

I have been running it for last 3 days and it works awesome so far, I did a clean install using latest clock works mod,
only thing not working is proximity sensor for me. everything else is awesome!!!!

Nexus 10 KitKat First Impressions

My first thought... what did they do to the settings menu?! It almost seems like the Nexus 10 OTA is really a phone-optimized version. It lacks the dual-pane view that we had in 4.3.

This is so sad. I bought the Xoom on launch day and although it had many bugs it has an amazing desktop ui and got better with time! I bought the Nexus 10 not long after launch and its doing the opposite, getting worse as it ages. If tablet ui is going to become more phone like I'm going to try a Nexus 7..........or an IPad..........

I might try an lg tablet in the future like g pad or the one after it. It looks amazing but a little expensive. I'm sure if enough people ask for it Google will fix this mess. They could send out a small update to change it back to tablet mode and add in whatevers missing. But it seems to me they were just focusing on the nexus 5 and just rushing the other devices

I just manually updated mine.. been playing around with it and it seems to handle multitasking a bit better. Less app refresh. Also less homescreen redraws.
Oh, and I still prefer the old bootup screen. This new one looks cartoonish

The history log on battery monitor widget pro reports the tablet as drawing quite a bit more power when in screen off standby compared to 4.3. It used to be less than -10mA. Now, it can be up to -300mA, but slowly declining after that to -81mA. I'm not sure if it's really drawing that much more power, or there's something about the way the data is collected that is skewing the results. I'm not noticing a significant difference in the power draw as reported on battery monitor widget pro for screen on usage though.
Sound's like I might be keeping 4.3 then...

I've noticed better colors.
Or maybe just a better behave of the light sensor (I'm pretty sure about that... finally!)
Less homescreen redraws, I used to hate that thing.
No hard reboots so far, but it's only half a day...
And yes, new settings layout really sucks, I hope Google fix that soon.
Some disappointing reports here and the lack of transparent navbar and not ART piss me off. I'm a big Google fan and love Android but must say Android updates/releases have become a bit boring. It's seems innovation in Android has slowed to a crawl. I sure hope it's just temporary with all the changes in the Android team and they get back on track soon...

Some disappointing reports here and the lack of transparent navbar and not ART piss me off. I'm a big Google fan and love Android but must say Android updates/releases have become a bit boring. It's seems innovation in Android has slowed to a crawl. I sure hope it's just temporary with all the changes in the Android team and they get back on track soon...

I can leave without art (a beta stuff for app devs) all the other missing parts are crazy. Isn't this the b....dy Google flagship tablet? :thumbdown:

Just thought we needed a thread like all the other devices have. Post your home screens and share your ideas..! Don't forget to give credit where it's due.
Full nudity is ofc. not okay. - Cute faces and nice bodies are alright ofc. ^^
I'll start. I just got this tablet a couple hours ago. I've been flashing CM 11 and ZipThemed the softkeys and ofc. added flash player and such.

The SoftKeys are in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2514222&highlight=softkey - Just scroll.

Wallpaper is from Deviantart.com, searched for Aria, and I found it.
And I use Nova Launcher Pro.
This tablet has a nice display, and I love making it look beautiful. ^^
I flashed CM11 on and haven't done much else. But the clock is from HD Widgets and the background is a live background from the galaxy pack.
If anyone knows how to get the image smaller I'll be happy to edit the post and fix it.

Sweet wallpaper. ^^ Hm,
Some times a big picture comes along, doesn't really matter. As long as it's not all of the time. At imgur.com, on the right side, you can upload, once you pick the file, before you click "Upload" you can tick "edit" besides the image, and you'll get to another screen once you press upload, there you can say "lock proportions" and then just type in a smaller ress, the other number should then follow. But I use photoshop to resize. Never thought of the resizing thing on imgur before now. Pretty handy.

Thanks for this thread and the links you shared.
I always used softkeys called zenyth before kitkat but all the changes in 4.4 made my softkeys unusable.
I followed your link to zipthemer and spotted white zenyth keys, so thanks very much

Awh yeah, Zenyth we're like the Rolls Royce of softkeys back in the day when I had my Galaxy Nexus. ^^ Glad to have accidentally helped you.

I like it!
Yet to actually do anything with mine! Will probably get bored soon and flash CM11, but will have to wait and see what happens in regards to putting the V510 on a V500!

Hi I tried to sort out links from Play but being an old fart, I just can't get it to work sorry.
I use ADW launcher but the theme should work with nova fine.
The theme is called Graphene theme by Dcomobile. Unfortunately it's a paid for theme but it's not horribly priced.
My date and time is through UCCW app and the actual skin is called "texty"
Now I bought texty when it came out and as I hadn't flashed a new rom in 6months or so on my n7 (I used Rascarlo) I don't know when texty disappeared from the play store.
It can be found with a bit of googling.
That's pretty much it
