I have been trying to use the Launcher from the nexus 5 for like 2 weeks but no matter what wallpaper I use it does not fit properly. It blows the wallpaper out of proprtion and leaves my nav bar deformed. Is anyone else experiencing this or know how I can fix??
I'm using nova beta launcher and this theme. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.themezilla.kitkat
You can configure it to look exactly like the gel launcher (and tweak it in a variety of ways).
Here's how mine looks. I like a 5 x 5 grid.
Thank you for your response but I want to use the real launcher. One of the things I really liked about the Moto X is I get a stock experience without the need for roms and launchers I really just wanna get the official stock launcher working.
Can anyone please help me!?
Anybody Please!

I noticed the same thing, it seems to blow some images up very large. I tried several images and eventually found a really wide one that it displays correctly.

Idid´n have any issues with wallpapers using GEL, what version of android are you using?
i think i already answered your question on another thread, but if it wasn't you i responded to. try using the gallery to set your wallpaper instead of the launcher application to set it. You can crop the picture to a larger size and adjust it further with the default gallery app on your phone. it will solve your problem.

oh. you are having a far different issue than what I thought. I'm not sure how to fix that. Probably an issue with GEL you are using. Others seem to have it working fine so maybe try seeing if there is an updated apk, or if the what FW you are running it iwht is incompatible. I know some people are still having problems with GEL and kit kat on verizon phones.

If you've installed a new launcher, you may find the same thing I did: it's pretty much impossible to get an image to not distort when used for wallpaper. I messed with this for hours.
Then I discovered the app Wallpaper Set and Save. It runs on the NC, and it does one thing: set wallpaper so it's not distorted. Perfect.
Can you post the apk?

Sure. Here 'tis.
Dolphin 4 set the wallpaper for me from an internet picture just fine, FYI.
This is only a work around though. I want undone whatever it was the launcher pro did or im going to flash my nook and start over.
I'd guess that Launcher Pro just undid whatever hackery B&N did to their rom to correct the natively terrible way android handles desktop images. This app just rehacks it.
Same issue
I had the same problem but what I did was just set launcher pro to show 1 col by 1 row then after the resize went back to 10 col by 10 rows. First pop-up the settings menu with the tiny little menu button between the battery and "U" buttons in the soft menu. Rows and columns are set in preferences>Homescreen settings.
Note this just got my icons back on screen but the wallpaper is still oversized.
Would a subforum for people who want to be LendMe friends be a good idea?
Or would it be better off here?
I think it would work out very well to separate the conversation so people can find people they want to lend books between. It didn't occur to me before for XDA because most of the forums have to do with phones that dont have this sort of social feature
just a thought

I'm certain a whole new website/forum will crop up with people willing to lend books to one another. The great thing about lending through the Nook is that you know you'll get your book back! (That is until someone figures out how to hack it to keep the book )

I believe it is a live wallpaper. I would like it as well. I don't think it was included in the system dump though. Someone could correct me if I'm wrong.
if the skies the limit, where's the urgency?
Yeah, it's live.
I'd be fine with a static version if someone could just photoshop the stuff ontop of the wallpaper, etc.
Would that be feasible?
How's this? I totally forgot where I found this, but I'm using it with Intel's ICS Launcher, and it's pretty nice. I'm working through the sdk now, so if I manage to get the live wallpaper to work, I'll post that as well.

It's a Galaxy S2 wallpaper. (actually I'm not 100% it's gs2, but it's definitely a default wp from one of the latest phones lol)
Here's a better quality one.
You know what, I think you might be right. I think it's actually from the Nexus S…my fault. It looked kinda close to being a static image of the live wallpaper they used last night (granted I didn't get a great look at it), so I figured I'd share. The sdk dump has very little of value in it, other than for development purposes, but I'll download the Galaxy Nexus dump tomorrow, and see what I can find.

Android 4.2 Keyboard with gesture typing .apk and .zip. Can be installed as a normal .apk or flashed as a .zip. IMO this is a great improvement on the standard ICS one, and some say it's as good as SwiftKey.

4.2 Clock.zip I think this is the clock which can also act as a screensaver or something along those lines. That's a bit useless in my opinion, but if I'm not mistaken, it also has stopwatch and timer features built in (took your time, Google!) so it's worth having.

Annoyingly I can't find the person(s) who actually provided these mods. I'll try to keep the OP updated with any newer JB (4.2) apps I find.
I've installed them on my HD2 and they both work. The keyboard appears to be flawless. The camera has graphical glitches very much like we HD2 users had with Jelly Bean ROMs until very recently, but not as bad because they clear up enough to reasonably use the app. PhotoSphere does NOT work, though, because it says that our device isn't supported. That'll probably be fixed by a dev soon enough, but, for now, it won't even let you access the mode.

Yep, I thought as much from what others have said on another thread. Either way, you can see this video to see how awesome Photo Sphere is. Check the G+ link in that article as well, the resolution isn't half bad and the photo stitching is pretty much perfect, as we've come to expect from Google (Street View).
I got PhotoSphere mode to work by changing the ID to Galaxy Nexus in build.prop, but it's unusable. It sort of works, but it's excruciatingly slow and the accelerometer only barely works. It takes something like 30 seconds to take the first photo, then 30 seconds for it to allow you to take another, then another 30 seconds... at which point I ended up stopping the operation, but the resulting image wasn't even stitched together properly. It probably needs to be modified to work with the HD2's hardware. I'm no Android dev, so that'll have to be for someone else to figure out, though we might need the source for that.

Yep, that fixes the check for PhotoSphere, so that we no longer need to edit build.prop. It doesn't fix the other issues with the app, though. It's still unusable.

Here's the clock. I think it's a flashable zip. I installed it just with extracting it and then finding it in the system/app folder(not the real system).
It doesn't overwrite the original clock apk so you can have it too since it has a nice timer and stopwatch. Alarm doesn't work for me(Clock has stopped, or something similar).
EDIT: Sorry, I haven't seen that you have already posted the desc clock.
Anyway, if that one up there doesn't work for you, try this.

looks like it might be a venom rom (viper). can't get it on sprint yet.
Looks like Mi Home launcher. It is MIUI launcher installable without the whole ROM. It's on the playstore.
OP, I don't see anything distinctive about that home screen/launcher. That's not meant to be offensive, but it doesn't seem to have any "identifying" traits-- I don't see a dock, but lots of launchers let you hide a dock. Ditto for the app drawer. The icon set looks familiar-- I think I may have seen it in one of the newer minimal packs (particularly the G+ and Minecraft icons). But this entire setup looks like it would be entirely reproducible on several launchers with the right widgets.
Which ROMS allow red signal icons?
HTC SENSE 7 LAUNCHER FOR S6/S6 EDGE
Ok guys, so far this is just a base for a project, currently my device doesn't have root, therefore I'm doing what i can without. Therefore here is the sense 7 launcher working that can be installed on your Galaxy S6/Edge. Install both APK'S
Once/IF we get root i can definitely get things working better. However, in the meantime, when placing widgets you can jut tap them, and move them later.

I have that version running on my S6 Active and it works great. I had an HTC One M7 before moving over to the Active and after using it for a couple days I started missing that Blinkfeed and this seemed to cure my fix. Kinda like the best of both worlds, the only other thing I miss is the front facing speakers, but I guess the military ruggedness will have to make up for that.
