Since the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One Google Play Edition devices are launched you might also want to look alike it.So in this guide we will tell you how to do it without rooting so lets get Started
1. Change your Launcher
There are lots of cool launcher are available but nova launcher is the best choice over any launcher Grab it from here Play Store Download Link. Simply using the default settings of Nova immediately makes your phone look a like stock.
2. Customize your Icons:
Now we will change the icons Holo Icons is filled with stock icons, and looks great with Nova Play Store Download Link
3. Change your lock screen.
There are also many lockscreen available but the best to look like the stock is Holo lockscreen grab it from here Play Store Download Link
4. Install Google apps.
Stock Android devices come with only Google created apps Get all the stock apps from this link.
there are some stock apps that are on stock devices, but that Google hasn’t released it yet on platstore nd you are not going to find all of them, but some, like the Camera app, complete with the Photo Sphere feature Download Link and the Dialer Download Link have been leaked for you to enjoy.
5. Make all of these apps default, and disable bloatware.
While setting up these apps, some will prompt you to make it the default app, but others will not. Make sure you make all of them default, so they will open automatically whenever you want to use them. You can do that using a very useful app called Default App Manager (Download Link).

First off I am in no way involved in development or releasing any of these items, only finding it, testing on our devices and posting it for everyone else.
There's a thread in Android Development for Sense 6 apps from the One M8, link here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696399 I recommend subscribing to it as I have so that when everything works you will know about it. For now, BlinkFeed works just fine and requires a 4.4.x ROM but that's about it. I love the way this launcher feels, its smooth and responsive and for some reason just feels right on the Vivid. Here's a couple of screenshots:

I am using WildfireDev's AOKP 4.4.2 ROM, Fancy Widgets with the H7C skin of your choosing, and either Holo Sense 6 or Sense 5.5 for theming. I also installed the BlinkFeed v10 package, then extracted Prismblack.apk from the v9 color mods, pushed to system/priv-app and renamed to Prism.apk. Choose any color you desire and follow the same steps until later versions are released in different colors.
To get weather working- Install HTC Weather like any normal app, then go to System Settings>Accounts and Add Account, then select HTC Weather. After that, set the first page of the launcher (aka BlinkFeed) as the default home page.
If this helps you change your experience with your phone (or even improve it) feel free to hit the thanks button
Good Post....:good:
If anyone has issue with weather, make sure High Accuracy is set in Location settings.
Update! New thread with new features for BlinkFeed, and it works better. You can now select your theme from Personalize in the settings menu and add custom RSS feeds, as well as add more apps and services than before. Here's a link to the new one- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735764
I had some text issues with the 5x4 grid download, I suggest the 4x4 grid for our Vivids.

I have been able to get the 4x5 grid to display more properly using xposed modules and App Settings to change the dpi of the BlinkFeed app. Here's setting that display best for me, though widgets aren't 100% centered-

Can you use any watch face with this launcher or just the built in one?

You can use any face.
This launcher is very nice and free but I still prefer SWapp Launcher, it is just my MHO.

I haven't tried the other launcher but I am just glad to see a launcher! I am using this with my LG Urbane and it works pretty well. Great when I found out I could use any watch face too, as I personally do not like the look of a digital face (hence me getting a watch).
So much easier now to launch say the sleeping tracker, notes, timer, etc without having to use voice or scroll through a list of apps in public.
Thanks
Hello,
Im a new Z3c owner.
As far as I understood, I should keep the offical xperia rom (updated to android 6) if I want to keep the full potential of this phone.
Especialy regarding Camera quality, right ?
So, what would you recommand in order to get a Xiomi / Miui / iOS like theme ?
In order to :
- remove the app folder button
- have better app icons than xperia ones..
Thanks for you help
Hopefully this may help you. I use nova launcher for the exact same look you want to achieve. And the most consistent icon pack that works for me is pop ui. Once you select the icon pack in nova launcher, the icons will replace the old ones, however you can then change whichever icons that don't suit your look with other alternatives in the pack. Both are paid apps but serve their purpose really well. You can get the free version of nova launcher but you will sacrifice certain things like changing icon size and icon notification badges. You will need the teslaunread app as well to get the badge notifications. If you want an exact clone of ios you can download png icon packs from deviant art and replicate the status bar with an xposed module called Flat Style Bar Indicators. But all that will probably turn you into an obsessive ios freak lol, plus it requires too much time and effort. I love the freedom of android but I love the look of ios, so I manage to get the best of both on my z3 compact.

*edit* as far as the app drawer goes, you have 3 options... 1) You could just remove it and forget about all the apps you don't use. 2) you could just change the app drawer icon to a folder icon and just think of it as a folder which houses all of your unnecessary apps. 3) nova launcher 5 Beta allows you to access the app drawer by swiping up from the dock.
Hope this helps.
I want to start this thread so people can share their screenshots/camera pics and apps they use for any Android Head Unit (Joying, HotAudio, Pumpkin, Hui Fei Type, etc). Please keep the post simple and neat so others can see yours. You can also provide links to the apps if you want so people can easily find them.

Hi, I`m using android 7.1 navigation on my car with 7'' inch display.
1GB Ram 16GB Rom. I don`t know much details.
I use Car Launcher Pro with custom theme made by my own. (I've opened a new thread, maybe someone knows how to export theme to use on other device).
I use this launcher because of it`s saved information about trip. It`s very useful.
Apps that i use for multimedia:
Youtube Vanced
Android 7.1 Radio App.
Radio Online App.
Stock Music Player
Mx Player
Navigation:
Google Maps
Waze
Sygic (offline)
I've also installed rear view camera and in the future i`ll install front camera to use it as DVR.

For some of the categories like Sports, Weather, Finance, etc. you would have seen a prompt like the one above on the Google Discover feed.
If you choose 'No, thanks', you may not see it again. Google app doesn't provide a way to add these to your homescreen (only Google knows why) if you change your mind later.
One way to bring back the prompt is to delete Google Play Services data, something which is often NOT a viable option. If you have paired your smartwatch with your phone, you shouldn't delete this data as it holds the pairing key for your watch. You'll have to factory reset your watch, pair it again with your phone and redo all the setup on your watch from scratch. For me who is having 300 apps and watch faces installed on the watch, with no way to backup and restore the data, this is an option that is untouchable.
HOW TO BRING THESE SHORTCUT PROMPTS AGAIN?
1. Open a Chromium based browser with Google as it's search engine.
2. Open Incognito (Private) tab.
3. Type Sports (or any category whose shortcut you want to add) and start the search.
4. It will open the Google Sports web app in the browser and the prompt to add shortcut will show up.
5. If you click on Add, you'll see this:
6. Click on Leave. This will then give the option to add the shortcut to the homescreen:
I have seen that this launcher prompt above doesn't always show up (not sure if this is because I already have this shortcut on my homescreen). In that case, close the incognito tab, open a new one, and go through the steps once again and it will show up.
Tested to work on Android 13 on multiple devices.
7. The shortcut on your homescreen will now open in Google app (not the browser that was used to create it), and this is what we want.
Hope this helps.
