Google Search - Latest Update
v3.1.8
Changes:
It officially brings Search version 3 (3.1.8 to be exact) that shipped in KitKat to all devices running 4.1+. This includes an updated UI, new refresh animation, among other things.
Because Search houses the Google Experience Launcher (GEL) inside, this update also brings GEL to all devices running Android 4.1+. All you need to do after installing Search 3.1.8 is install the launcher app from here, and voila - GEL for all, not just KitKat devices. I have it running on 4.1, 4.3, and 4.4 on both phones and tablets, and it finally looks perfect.
As I mentioned above, 3.1.8 completely fixes the wonky GEL layout on tablets. As you may have seen yesterday, several things on the Nexus 7, for example, were out of whack - the keyboard was popping when you tapped Home, the icons were old, and the Search box was off-center. All fixed.
Remember: GEL does support transparency in the navigation and status bars, but you need KitKat for that to work. And Google disabled it system-wide on the Nexus 10.
New cards:
Website update card
News topic card
What to watch card
Traffic incidents using Waze on maps.
Recurring reminders.
Real-time scores for rugby teams
See when your packages are ready for in-store pickup.

Ace! I'd just installed the launcher and search from the other thread and was a bit annoyed by the keyboard popping up on my tablet z, this has fixed it. Nice one OP!
On tablet z the app drawer is much tidier now, with 6x5 icons, the previous version had all the app icons squashed up together, there must've been about 80 icons on 1 screen!
Working on both Z and tablet z

I'm just goin nuts on inverting stuff so here's my latest.. I got it straight off the market so it's the newest one but still could be months old.. I'm just in an Inverted mood right now so I'm goin for the gold... lol..
It's a signed apk so it installs just like any normal app.. if you already have the GoogleReader installed, uninstall it before installing mine.. the keys don't match so it won't install.. if you have a different themed one from any forum, this one "should" install right over it.. once again, I don't use this app so I tested it as much as I could and it seems to be great.. the only issue is the pop up but I'm on a theme so the text is gray.. if you have black on black let me know and I think I saw where the pop up was called from.. Enjoy!
*Shows up as Dark Reader in the app drawer and Dark Google Reader in the add widget pop up
Download links:
Version 1.1.1 - Newest Version
1. http://bit.ly/BlackedOutGoogleReader111full Signed apk - Installs like a normal app, uninstall the stock version first tho
1. http://bit.ly/V4DarkGoogleReader Dark Google Reader - install like an app
2. http://bit.ly/KameleonGoogleReader Kameleon Dark Google Reader - will self theme to the primary system text colors.. so if you're settings menu text is white, so will this
3. http://bit.ly/101DarkGoogleReaderapk Version 1.0.1 - installs right over my 0.9.3 version but uninstall the stock one first if that's what you're using...This is the Kameleon Series but it's regular inverted on anything besides my themes and a couple others UPDATED LINK *Credit to Decalex for figuring out what the decompiling issue was!

Thanks again! New version running smoothly on my Charge! No issues found.
Once opened, the article itself is not inverted. I am assuming that's by design. I'd that right? Same as it was in last build.
I'll look more into it later today... some apps stream from a site like the status updates on facebook 1.6.2+ and we can't invert that... as far as I know.. but I can look at this one and see if it can be changed.....

Hey guys,
I'm relatively new here, but have been fiddling with Android for about 6 months. After recieving an Asus Transformer for Christmas, runnig Honeycomb 3.2.1, I have spent the last couple of days trying to make my new tablet look as nice as possible. After trialing many different layouts, wallpapers, widgets, and launchers, I have come up with a suitable layout (for now) based on fliparsenal's "Hubs Nav+". Then it occured to me, what if there was a
thread on XDA for all the boys and girls to share their layouts with the rest of the world? Hence, this thread was born.
NOTE: I know there is a thread like this, but mine is about tutorials on setups, not just posting screenshots.
Before we begin:
- I am not a developer! Far from it to tell you the truth. I'm just a teenager with too much time on my hands
The general aim:
- To share your homescreen layout with the rest of the XDA community
- Allow others to enjoy your layout on their own device
Requirements for Sharers:
- Keep it clean! (as in "PG" rated)
- Introduce yourself so others know a bit about you (optional)
- Must include device, firmware, ROM, kernel, Model etc. (All can be found under 'Settings -> About Phone/Tablet')
- Must include screenshots
- Must include detailed list of applcations/widdgets/etc.
- Must include setup instructions that are n00b friendly
- Must give due respect to the original layouts creator (if required)
- Include average setup time and any difficulties you incurred
Requirements for comments/critisisms:
- Be respectful and constructive
- If you don’t like something, suggest how to make it better/change it
Any help with managing this thread would be much appreciated. PM me if you are interested.
But for now, let me start off with my layout for my Tablet:
Device: Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101
Android Version: 3.2.1
Kernel Version: [email protected]#1
Build Number: HTK75.WW_epad-8.6.5.21-20111216
MobileDock Version: EP101-0213

Description:
The launcher I am using is ADW Launcher EX 1.3.3.56 with a 10x10 home screen setting. I have 5 pages; number 2 as default. For the page titles, I am using ‘Minimalistic Text’.
https://market.android.com/details?...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImRlLmRldm1pbC5taW5pbWFsdGV4dCJd
As I have an Asus Transformer, I am using Dual Battery widget.
https://market.android.com/details?...9yZy5mbGV4bGFicy53aWRnZXRzLmR1YWxiYXR0ZXJ5Il0
The ‘Open/Close Appdrawer’ action icon is built into ADW Launcher.
Home:
The dominating widget on this screen is the Clock/Weather widget (8x1 - resized to 10x3) from HD widgets.
https://market.android.com/details?...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNsb3VkdHYuaGR3aWRnZXRzIl0.
I also use ‘Bigpond Usage Pro’ (Only availiable in Australia)
https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS51c2FnZS5iaWdwb25kcHJvIl0
Music:
I use the inbuilt music app widget along the bottom of the screen (10x1) and the Youtube cascade widget on the side (6x4).
Games:
I just put all my games on this screen, but plan to catalogue them somehow :/ Let me know how?
Social:
On the left hand side I have the ‘Xbox live Avatar widget’.
https://market.android.com/details?...tLnNjb3R0YWdhcm1hbi5hbmRyb2lkLnhibEF2YXRhciJd
Then I have My two Gmail inboxes on the right.
In the middle I have the Google+ widget and the Tapatalk forum app above that.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.quoord.tapatalkpro.activity&feature=search_result
Movies:
This screen just contains two 8x5 Mizuu widgets
https://market.android.com/details?...ult#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5taXoubWl6dXUiXQ..
This took me about a day to get to here, mainly due to issues experienced with ADW launcher (just being a bit fiddly )
Credits go to ‘fliparsenal’ and his ‘Hubs Nav+’ Layout:

Hello everyone!
Last Christmas, I released a suite I made on Rainmeter. It's called Android Jelly Bean for Rainmeter and it's exactly what the name is: a replication of JB on Rainmeter. If you don't know what Rainmeter is, it's basically like UCCW for your desktop. You can check out their website here.
Anyways, for some reason I never thought to post it on here (probably because I didn't come here that often), so here it is!
Also, please note that this doesn't work well on all resolutions! My monitor is 1680x1050 and it works perfectly well. It should also work well on other large 16:9 and 16:10 screens. Luckily, if you don't have big screens like that, another person on DeviantArt modified my skin to work well on 1024x768 (here), 1280x800 (here), and 1366x768 (here).

Finally, around April of this year, I began work on V2.0 of this skin. I borrowed some ideas from some popular ROMs such as ParanoidAndroid. This time around, the skin moves a bit away from imitating Android and focuses more on being easy to use for computers. There is still plenty of Android design hints and you can check out the WIP screenshots in my DeviantArt gallery.

Are you seraz right now? That's totally not for Android. :sly::sly::sly:
@OP, There's a thread in Off Topic for desktop customizations I'm pretty sure. You'll have to dig it up yourself though as I'm on mobile right now.

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).
for any querie head to here
Peace friends! ! !

I've been very busy with my android desktop and was a big rush to get my supplies LauncherAdvanced, unique thread of my development HERE
I would like to clarify that I have compiled this launcher for a long time, then the android trendy JB was 4.2, I had to make some optimizations so that it can get better at 4.4 and 5.1 (maybe in the future 6.0).
The purpose of the launcher is the same as I always have in mind, do not like and have never liked large packages and applications do not like too much RAM consumption, thinking that I developed this launcher, it is a typical size coming from ADW sources @AnderWeb (Thanks).
Their characteristics are very clear, see below:
Desktop settings
Set icons and wallpaper
Set style dock bar
You can set colors and transparencies in the apps grid
you can create folders and name them
Speed to open the apps grid
Animations, themes etc ..
You can also back up and restore it if you want to save your settings
Known bugs:
At the moment he does not have a transparent status bar (I will fix this)
By using wallpaper is a blur in the dock bar (only the launcher wallpapers, you can use other without problems)
Some other?
It is fully in the development of state and I will appreciate if you understand java and can help me with corrections, so I'll leave my sources available on GitHub
DOWNLOAD HERE
To install:
Download the latest launcher
Pass to your SD
Install usually how to install an apk SD
enjoy
Hi dev I'm using this launcher from past 3 days, really I'm loving it.
I got every thing which I want like ,
It's light weight.
Smooth
I can set it to full screen by hiding status bar.
Specially the short cut icon sick at the bottom ( I really loved the concept).
But after using it I felt like I'm using kitkat launcher in my One plus one (5.1 lollipop).
And their is no smooth scrolling.
Their is a problem with animation.
I'm not getting the widgets properly like my cm weather widget unable to display weather only time and date .
Each icon using more space then the actual size.
I'm unable to increase the size of icons .
Old type widget and shortcut section menu etc .
But I'm still using it coz I'm loving it.
Hope you ll update it soon with latest standards.
Thank you dev
