Homescreen Thread: Noob Edition

Be careful with the widgets, they drain battery.

Just remove dock, icons, notification bar, get KWLP pro and make a decent home screen

Thanks anon, I'll give it a go.

I'm running KWLP and I'm trying to configure music. I have allowed it to read my notifications and set the default music player as google play music, but it doesn't seem to be able to pick up what I'm currently playing. Do i need to do something else?

>>6421717
Go to text editor and insert the variables for the music depending on what you wish to display

use the nox theme pack for nova launcher, best I've found yet.

Can you use KWLP on lock screens?

OP here.

>>6421987
There's an app called GMD Full Screen Immersive Mode that lets you toggle the navigation and status bars.

Only reason I'm not using it is because the free version puts an ugly red line at the bottom of the screen, which is the toggle area. This can be removed in the paid version. I think I'll just buy it as it works great.

Also I have attempted using KLWP, however for now that shit is way above my skill level. I did download KWGT though and replaced my clock with one of their presets (with one slight tweak), which I think looks way better.

So I'm about to change my iPhone and get my self a galaxy s5; is this a good phone?? I've heard mixed reviews about it, I really like the phone but I feel that sometimes it lags a little bit, and I fucking hate lag.

>>6422140
It should be fine, just replace the god awful launcher ASAP.

Don't expect the buttery smoothness of IOS all the time, though you should be fine. The biggest thing I noticed with the jump back to Android is the slight input lag when scrolling anywhere on the system. You get used to it pretty quick and won't notice it after a day or so. Also multitasking is SO much better on Android. Apps actually stay open in the background.

>>6422149

1. Get KWLP.
2. Get Nova Launcher (enable scroll down notification menu and remove the statusbar) and remove all icons, they're for plebs.
3. Save this wallpaper.
4. Go get my KLWP set up based off of sarcasmguy1's setup. It's here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pkujuhdl00t0ne4/lemoe_terminal.klwp.zip?dl=0
5. Open it up (import) with KLWP, modify it all you want (example go to global to change the uset name; "lemoe")
6. Press the Save Icon when youre done in KLWP.
7. Enjoy being a pimp and getting hoes.

>>6421569
Looks very out of the box, seems like you didn't do much to me, don't feel it deserves a rate at this point. Some things you're gonna hear are 2clocks/10, make your icons smaller, arrange your icons better. If you're dead set on having all those icons accessible from the homescreen maybe get Glyphs or another non-app-specific icon pack and make a few folders, or make one of the nova icons a gesture search app so you don't have to have all those apps on the homescreen. Looks very cluttered, which is one of the big things rice customization seeks to eliminate
.>>6421852
Your icon pack looks very stock. If you're not super fond of it i'd recommend a change
.>>6421873
Hate the clock widget, your whole setup reminds me of stock iPhone kinda. If you can i'd move the widget up a little more if you're dead set on having it.
>>6421867
In the future, google. But no.
>>6421960
This is actually really funny, remove the text from the icons and it'll be perfect.
>>6421965
go into the other phone threads and get a feel for what you like and attempt to get close to a re-creation without cloning them.
>>6422268
If you describe to me your creative process and why it merits rating I'll rate it. This doesn't look like you tried desu. Read the phone ricing guide.
>>6422556
icon spacing is weird. Looks comfy to use 8/10. I feel like something could be done to make it better but can't put my finger on it. If I could just figure out if that's because of the ambiance of the rice I'd be able to decide whether to bump it to like 9.5, but I can't.
>>6422943

>>6422989

not a fan of the all in one widget, download a couple icons and replace those folders with said icons.
>>6423417
10/10 for execution 7/10 for style (sorry, not a fan, but if you're a fan, then keep doing you, looks like it pretty much follows the theme of what you're trying to accomplish.)

I'd remove the text from the icons and change the placement and icon of the app drawer, it looks out of place...otherwise nice if not overdone.

Finally started Metal Gear Solid V recently and got inspired to make a new homescreen. Pretty generic I suppose, but I tried to make it clean if nothing else.

OP here.

So I've had a few days to toy around and I've settled on this. Hopefully you approve.

I'm still looking for a couple of things though: Firstly a clock widget that suits the overall feel better, with lighter and thinner text. I know I create create my own, but I just don't have the time.

Secondly I'm also looking for a wide that replaces Google Calendar's. I don't know if such a thing exists, but the stock one is fucking horrific. The calendar rests full-screen on homescreen to the left.

Lastly, like the previous one, does anyone know of an app that can replace the widget of the Outlook mail app? It sits to the homescreen on the right.

>>6424345
I don't know about the clock but he's using the Lines icon pack. There's a free and paid version.

>>6424377
I agree with you and have changed it accordingly. Originally (having cone straight from IOS) I was looking for a stock Android look, but it grew old fast. I decluttered everything using the gesture based folders that Nova has, works like a treat.

+clean and simple +decent color work -the dark icons seem like a gradient I would try to a way to add a little more yellow in and find flat icons

>>6425377

>>6425726
+nice icons and colors and stuff -status bar I would hide status bar and add a clock and battery widget

Can I use gravity box if I'm on CyanogenMod 12?

I want to hide the statusbar since the option in Nova its laggy and sometimes shows it for a few seconds after closing apps and stuff

In need of that clock widget. Please share!

>>6426645
It's one of the KWGT presets. I just changed the radius of one of the objects to make the day text more visible. I think the curve adds a nice effect as well. The app itself is amazingly in depth, you could (if you had the skill, which I don't) build yourself some amazing widgets.

was actually going to try that same wallpaper out. I would move the clock to the top where it is black. it would look nicer and be easer to read.

pretty cool layout/feel although I do not see why you would need two clocks on your screen. I would also remove the labels under the icons since the point of an icon is to represent the program + it would look a lot cleaner without the text.

>>6427119
You can use a launcher (nova launcher is great) to get rid of both the notification bar on top (helps with double clock) and it can get rid of the dock. It can do a lot more than that.

As for icons i use "tiny white icons" but I'm looking for new ones so i don't really know. Just try to find one that looks clean to you and is informative enough that you don't have to read the label underneath (so you can get rid of it)

As a rule of thumb the less information you can display for have the max information the better.

For me, Lightning Launcher + Widgets offer more flexibility in ricing. Nova/Apex + KWGT are clumsy when you need to have widgets on your homescreen. E.g. you need evernote widget on your phone.

I like this a lot, but you should consider making the icons smaller. Or is it purposeful? By the way, how did you find this wallpaper?

>>6427587 get riid of the notification bar. make a clock and a battery monitor, i have mine on a seperate page. if you ever need to see your amount of cell bars, just scroll it down, it isnt very important. aslo, maybe, if you have klwp, do something for your icons, maybe a box. 7/10

I really like it. Colorful, but muted background. Clean, functional widgets. If the battery had a percentage, that would be better to me. That dot at the bottom, the screen indicator? You should be able to get rid of that. Also, I'd space out your widgets between two screens. Only one makes it a bit busy. Otherwise, 8/10.

>>6428493
Upon further thought, one screen is fine. Disregard the bit about splitting into two.

Took in the advice, thanks for it. Here's my second attempt.

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to remove the page indicator though.

>>6430125

What launcher are you using?

1. The widget looks really ugly, and it interferes and distracts from the (awesome) pape
2. Symmetry is nice, but too many icons aren't. Consider removing some of the icons to put on different pages.
3. Your icon pack is a nice match for the pape, but you should pick locations on the desktop that add to/complement it, not clash with it.

Honestly, just learn some Zooper or UCCW, and keep lurking. Learn to complement, not detract from, the experience. 4/10.

>>6429987
Nice color schematic, but try these suggestions:
1. Remove the dock and app drawer icon, in favor of gestures (I'm assuming you use NL Pro).
2. Make your essentials (like phone, camera, texting, etc) into gestures.
3.Have another page or two to space out apps.
4.Remove that navbar, or at least change its color.

5/10 - pack, widgets, and pape are great, but app placement, navbar, and too many apps are not.

h-how about now senpai?

I don't have the pro version, so ultimately I can't get rid of the android navbar at the bottom (can you even do that? Or have I simply never paid attention) but I've worked with what I had available.

Went down to the five apps I would be too inconvenienced not to have on the screen (also only want a one-screen setup) and tried several ways to arrange them, all looking awkward. Ultimately I stuck with following the treeline.

Also there might be a small size difference in the clock?

>>6430471
The navbar can be gotten rid of with GravityBox, an XPosed module (read up on XPosed, and if your phone's compatible).

If you want a single page setup, that's great, but I think you'll have to make a choice of actually buying NLP (and getting gesture support) or doing something about that clock widget (maybe the problem is that it's taking up too much desktop real estate?). Or else, you can just love with the awful (but slightly better) app placement.

What's your app desktop's size? And did you allow sub-grid positioning?

If nothing else, how about trying to position the apps along the mountains (if you haven't tried that already)?

>>6430496
>>6430471
Oh yeah, 6/10. Bit better.

>>6428408
Looks pretty good, though try out Nova Launcher's "gesture folders". It shows the icon of the first item in the folder (or a custom icon if you set it). On a tap it opens the first item in a folder and when you swipe up on the icon it opens the folder itself.

Pretty sure this mechanic was stolen from Action Launcher's "Cover" mechanic, but I prefer Nova.

how do you guys find wallpapers for bigger phones like a nexus 6? I haven't had a ton of luck looking around on the internet blindly.

>>6422546
whats the name of your clock widget bro?

>>6431406
thx anon.. all of it was made in KLWP,

>>6431406
in KLWP its called Letter Days,

>>6431271

I'm also seriously looking for an alternative lockscreen for my Mate 7. They say CM Locker has fingerprint support, though my phone is unsupported. Try it out as you have more mainstream phones. Perhaps you'll get lucky.

>>6431225
It's disgusting, how did you >>6431231 notice the wallpaper

>>6427478 here, I took your advice and tweaked my homescreen. Opinions?

>>6431996
Icons are spaced out weirdly.

>>6432324
Looks good. Why are you in a noob thread?

>>6432357
For the love of god, at least get an icon pack.

First time starting on Zooper, I wish windows was this easy to customize.

Does klwp really have a steep learning curve?

Kill it. Kill it with fire.

>>6432459
It's way too busy. You've got too much going on there. Clean it up and get it organized, unless you like looking for the app you want to open for 10 minutes.

>>6432525
> Stock launcher
> Stock icons
> App labels
> Fuckton of ugly folders
Fix these things and report back.

>>6432526
Very nice but I agree with >>6432566. Get rid of the navbar.

>>6432701
I don't know what that monstrosity on the right of the screen is but get rid of it. Also replace the low-def wallpaper with something decent that also matches your icon pack.

What icon pack are you using?

>>6429544
can you post that paper?

>>6431536
>>6431543
just how could I go around making an operational play/pause button in KLWP?

I mean, I can get the icon to work and play/pause whatever I'm listening at the time and it was super easy to make out but I would like it to be able to automatically change icons when in play/pause proper when I tap on it

also (just as a side question) how did you do to have the day names show as a single letter and how did you make the circle selectable over them as each day passes?

>>6433034
$if(mi(state)!=PLAYING,play_arrow,pause)$

>>6421960

Not last charged I removed that but the others are used daily with travel and I use my phone a lot for music.
I kind of want to do dynamic colors for things like temperatures and time and stuff, is that possible?

Should I just scrap it and start over?

>>6433242
Depends, what widget is that?

>>6433425
Klwp

>>6433493
Yeah you can do colors, I wrote something for battery:
$cm(255,256-bi(level)*1.28,(bi(level)*1.28)+128,128)$
This will output a color from bright green to bright red on a gradient as the battery decreases

I've noticed that when you click on objects that launch apps in KWLP they launch slower than an icon. Is this normal? Is there any way to fix this?

Here's my wip homescreen. First time using Zooper. Rate it.

>>6433642
just minor perspective nitpicking, the Soundcloud icon blends a tad too much with the background when you look away and try to catch it with the corner of the eye

Oh man...these all look great i can't wait for my new phone to come in especially since i'm getting my first smart phone on about a week

>>6433795
Hope you'll enjoy it. Report back when you're done ricing it so we'll see what you turned it into. Always fun to see the newcomers' first rices.

Something you can already do is to sit down with a pen & piece of paper and just start sketching on an idea you have in your head. That way you can start ricing your phone right away since you already know what you wanna do with it, and you'd be surprised how much more creative you get when you don't just copy the other screens here.

I'm a noob to android and I've learned a lot from this thread, but I need to know something very important. What is the best alternate keyboard for android because their keyboard autocorrect sucks monkey balls.

>>6433502
Where do I apply this?

>>6423348
Youre probably gone but 1-Bit icons fit perfectly with Undertale stuff.

>>6423348
Rule number one of any ricing, get rid of that notification bar.

how can I make it so that a shape doesn't just completely hover over other komponents and hiding them?

I'm trying to make a rectangle drawer to place my clock inside and it just keeps overlapping and I can't bring myself to remember just how the hell did I do to achieve that translucent effect from earlier, but still have the clock visible over the shape

been toying around with the dim function for a bit but it just makes the background translucent and the clock stays underneath

>>6433947
Under color.
Hold down on the color and click on the little calculator at the top of the screen to make formulas

>>6422592
See, this is the kind of tutorial I need for the other thread. A step by step or at the very least links to specifics used in each homescreen.

>>6433066
sorry for the noobish question (figure this is a noob thread after all and I'm relatively new to the likes of KLWP still) but where exactly do I put this?

I end up with a PLAY_PAUSE thingie of sorts that I have no idea what to do with when placing it under a text function

>>6434104
See the calculator thing? That's where you want to place the script. That'll change the icon from the play icon to the pause icon depending on if there's music playing. If you tap the check box, there'll be a calculator icon option at the top, and it'll let you input a formula. The name of the icon depends on which icon set you're using though, so double check that the names are correct

>>6434055
Got it thanks

What clock widget is that?

>>6433927
I like Fleksy but there's a bunch just Google it

>>6434246
Get a less cringe worthy wallpaper and dampen the clock's color a bit.

>>6431996
Potential but confusing layout of folders, also clean your noto bar bro

>>6432459
Why do this? This is why I'm all for genocide.

>>6431269
New background or different color icon are needed. 5/10 fix it, 7/10
