Hello i've been working on a ui design since 2014 and i finally have a launcher thats been begun recently you can see attached pictures of the launcher apk in it's current state and pictures of the final design unfortunatly i lack the funding to get it as complete as i want but an apk is being worked on, this is a different thing that may not appeal to everyone it may be too much for some, it's a complete overhaul of everything from lockscreen etc and it moves away from android quite abit, it begun as a linux distro design but then moved on to an android rom and then to a launcher, SymetiumOS itself is still there but thats when i find help to make it.
features of my ui
1. Custom modes such as pc mode,tv mode,tablet mode and the ability to create new modes, everytime a new mode is made a new settings screen is created, each settings screen has the same options so you can enable the pc appdrawer under mobile mode for example this applies for potrait and landscape under each mode meaning you can move pc mode to mobile mode landscape and have it trigger pc mode in landscape
2.size options for each menu that includes pc appdrawer or desktop appdrawer,notificationpanel and statusbar,recent apps menu, the notificationpanel comes in various sizes if it's set to tablet size then you can pull it down or click it down anywhere similar to an android tablet, this applies to all sizes including the micro size which replicates the feel of a 4k screen.
3.background layer options to appeal to more peoples tastes this includes glass,solid color (material),tranlucency,transparent solid color this layer can be enabled for the desktop appdrawer,notification panel (3 sets of layers for the notificationpanel,category appdrawer,category dock,appdock
4.automatic and manual sorting for the appdrawer if automatic is chosen then the icons of the dock will change using the playstore sorting method, if manual is chosen then the user can customize these categories, removing,renaming,adding new ones, each category consists of an appfield and a widget field above allowing the user to create custom categories such as a news category with news apps and a newswidget
5.the dock can be swiped into from the homescreen but this can also be disabled meaning you have to swipe to reveal the dock and then press an icon, the dock can be at the top or bottom or left or right side of the screen the size of the icons can be adjusted so can the distance between the icons and distance between the edge of the screen
heres an animation for the ui here is an animation showing the ui https://www.facebook.com/symetium/videos/1182698115129367/
Here is the final design of the ui including background layer options,lockscreen,desktop appdrawer and more.

the pc or desktop appdrawer is missing
the custom recent apps menu is missing
the custom statusbar is missing
it's getting there though here is a attached picture of the apk it's starting to resemble my designs.
Ok, I'll wait till the release.

blur for colored layers
automatic app sorting (just like any other launcher that sorts apps automatically)
standard homescreen support widgets,app shortcuts etc (just like any other launcher)

full appdrawer (simply use any full appdrawer)
general settings menu section (a standard general settings section where the reset button is etc)

Last time , you said launcher is not ready for playstore .
and what i meant from making it open source was that you drop your apk in xda and ask for developers help and in meantime you will get enough beta testers for your launcher too.
Playstore should work too , its just people go there before they make their app stable and complete
Just giving free #advice

GDE version 0.3.0.1 is in the market:
Whats in it?
Transitions ( cube, stretch, fade, normal )
Customizable toolbar button actions ( call, add, sms, browse, settings )
Customizable Application folders menu
Homescreen settings ( 1-7 homescreens )
Ghost drop ( shows you the drop location when hovering over an item )
Auto scroll ( Hold the left or right side of the screen while scrolling and it will continue to scroll through the screens )
Fast forward / Fast backwards ( swipe hard left or right to go to the first or last screen )
Endless loop for transitions ( In cube, stretch and fade transition. You can go from the last screen to the first and vice versa )
Normal icon view in tray, as well as list view with alphabetical grab handle (much like contacts scroll)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Features on the to-do list:
Advanced Search ( search the web, media on the phone etc etc )
More toolbar actions ( might even get an advanced setting where you can setup your own intent )
Advanced settings for the left toolbar button while dragging ( drag an item and drop it on the left button will show a context menu with options like uninstall etc )
Landscape mode.
And much more things....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to:
How to drop an item in/on the menu
Create a folder in the "Applications"-menu. Now drag an application item over the up-arrow on the toolbar.
The menu will show up and you will see your folder. You can now drop the item in the folder.
You can also drag an entire folder this way and drop the complete folder in the menu.
You can also drag the folder or the application back to desktop.
How to get back when in a menu
You can either press the back button if you are in a submenu or use the upper left back icon
How to switch from grid to listview and vice versa in application menus
You can press the upper right icon ( still only shows a listview icon, but it will change )
I have problems opening... How do I open GDE?
Normally Android should bring up a dialog to choose which Homescreen you want to use.
If this is not the case you can make it ask you manually again. I will write down the steps you will need to make:
Go to Android settings
Go to Applications
Click on Manage Applications
You will now get a list with all your installed applications.
Because Android is set to use a default homescreen ( most likely the google one ) you will have to clear the default settings. ( Like I said earlier normally Android brings up a dialog, but if you ever want to remove the defaults for an application like a homescreen, dialer etc you can do it here )
Scroll to the set homescreen. In case you are using the stock homescreen this will be "Home"
You will now see all the application settings.
Scroll to "Launch by default" en click the button "Clear defaults" ( this will not erase any settings, but just forces Android to show the dialog to choose between homescreens )
Now press the home button and you will see the dialog. You can either just click GDE to use it but every time you press the home button it will ask you again to choose between homescreens. You can also set the checkbox to make it always use a specific homescreen. In case you want to change you can use the same steps mentioned above.
It could be that the actual screens slightly differ from this on android 2.0.

Special thanks to:
Overground for his extensive testing/troubleshooting
Very nice... I like the look of the buttons on the launcher too, whats the one on the right hand side for? Obviously the left one looks like it's to launch the dialer... Very nice work man, looking forward to it
I think the right one is for Settings.
You are both right... and wrong.
They are meant to be customizable Kinda like WinMo... you can set an action for the left and the right button.
Too bad the cube transition isnt as fluent on this movie....
When this is released I'm assuming it will be a standalone home replacement, but will you have anyplans to release a replacement for the standard launcher? I hate using home replacements because it invariably seems that I end up with 2 launchers in memory, which is why I prefer the replacement version of the Advanced laucher currently. But man was that eye candy sweet.
Its a complete new launcher, using a different datamodel etc ( only some really basic code is used from the original launcher ), so it cant replace the original launcher.
It will be a paid release on the market ( maybe ill make a lite release for free, but i dont know in what form yet ) so that it will be easier to update and I can make sure I can keep supporting it ( It has taken me hundreds of hours already to get to this stage and I want to make sure it keeps getting better ).
Ive also spend a lot of time to make sure it uses as little memory as possible using various caching models.
so when do you think it will be released
It kinda depends on the free time I have... Im now at 70%~75% of what I want done now, but ideas keep evolving and I dont want to release too soon.
Most stuff ive done now is setup a good framework, which makes it very extendible and customizable.
Last thing ive done is create a transition framework so you can choose what sliding transition you want. The cube transition is one of the included transitions, but also the normal one and ive created stretch/squeeze kind transition.
Besides that the app drawer will completely change... better yet... The app drawer will just be one part of the actual drawer/menu.
do you think you can make the launcher like the t-mobile pulse where when you press the menu button you can zoom out and look at all your screens and then select one?
That idea is one i have on my todo lists... but it will not be the menu button but a up/down gesture.
looks great man!
Keep up the good work.
that's sick, i can't wait to try it out!
let me know if you need any beta testers! looks sick!
Looking really good, buddy. Nice work on getting the wallpaper issue worked out.
Looks awesome! I will DEFINITELY buy this one!
Love your work as always. Great job on this. The video does make my inner graphic designer giddy. How are the theme-ing prospect on your app? Is there framework for customizable images? Or is that even on the horizon? I'd love to use it but of course as with my themes, I'd be itching to customize it to match.
Can't wait to try it out. If you need extra beta testers or graphics help, I'm always glad to help out.
id be another guinea pig for this if it comes in an apk or something not extremely technical to install.
on the cube, would it be possible to roll it vertically? 4 screens is cool, i can live with that...but my dxtop ghost black theme has up/dwn/L+R, without that it feels too i-phoney for my taste
Thanks for all the nice comments...
At the moment I already have one beta-tester and for now ( as its still in early development user-wise ) thats enough, because there isnt much too really test yet.
@Prash:
Im still working out the theming aspect. I want it to be as customizable as can be, but also want it to be super easy to theme. Im thinking about an xml-based skin.. I have never looked into the other launchers theming, but if you have any suggestions / ideas just shoot me a pm.
Awesome! Looks like Beryl in Linux
Looks really really nice! Good work!

Everything works.
It looks a bit like a cross between CM7 And Ultimate Droid.. I was using CM7 since the first RC and I began to hate it.. did you pull a lot of code from CM?

Core device properties are pulled from cm. There are a few other features we have pulled from cm but certainly not everything.
Alright cool, I'll give it a shot later today! Thanks for the work!
Installed this a few hours ago. Looks like a nice ROM, pretty stable too. Might be a little worse on battery life than CM7 and MIUI but it's early. Nice work.

Thanks. As always you'll want the rom to settle through at least one full discharge charge to gauge battery. Usually makes a difference =P
might try this, bored at work.
im suprised how small the file size is. 65 megs....cm7 is 85
Definitely looks slick. I will flash tonight and report back tomorrow
This is a very good ROM in my opinion. It's nice to see another AOSP ROM, especially another great one.
i really like the settings menu
I like the ROM, but I can't find where I can use my custom ringtones.
Never mind somehow they were deleted?!?

After a lot of work and testing Lacuna 3.0 by myself and Trekfan is reborn as Lacuna 42.
You can view a video review of the theme by actionboy here
This theme is released as is, there will be no significant updates to it following this release.
I will however offer a service whereby if you are willing to make a donation I will help tailor the theme to suit you, changing layout, adding additional weather detail, adding additional pages etc.
I have given up a lot of time to produce this theme following its original concept by trekfan who has gone the way of the little green robot so if you like my work and cannot donate at least please say thankyou so I know my work is appreciated and I will continue to come up with new ideas for as long as there is a need.
This Throttle Launcher theme requires version 1.2.1 to be installed and supports full screen 480x800 wallpaper in jpg format.
The homepage from top to bottom features :
a hideable interactive taskbar.
to activate/hide press on the battery icon.
you can toggle the bluetooth wifi and sound profile from the taskbar by just pressing them.
two sizes of clock accessible from the throttle config window.
next appointment accessible by pressing on the clock itself.
the blue icon to the right of the clock is programable
you can assign any quick launch app to through throttle config
notifications for new texts missed calls and emails
current weather condition icon complete with temp and location
app launcher page activated by pressing the icon in the bottom right when on the homepage
The friends page starts with your favourite contacts followed by and add and remove option followed by a full list of all remaining contacts.
The text page shows the last 20 messages recieved with the newest at the top.
The messages page shows similar for a specified email account.
CHANGELOG :
03 June 2011 :
Due to Google screwing with their weather api I have had to modify the theme to use the current condition text instead of the originally numbered icons from the registry. There are several new conditions for which I do not have icons so I have for now recycled existing ones. When a fuller set is made available I will update again.
Please download and enjoy.
The below screenshots will show you in detail what can be changed in the theme via throttle config.
Screen 08 & 09 show the default programs catagorised under Objects.
The majority of settings don't really need any explanation
the clock size is either normal or large
If you change the default sms app from tmail please untick sms default
do not change sms param as this is required by ther program
only one mail account is used in the theme so ensure only one is selected
Screen 10 Weather
Here you can specify the location
units in centigrade or fahrenheit
autoupdate if required should be ticked
if autoupdate is required please provide a period in minutes for the update to be performed
Screen 11 Background / Text
The select path option is used to specify wallpaper.
There is an initial choice of two dark and one light background in the default folder where the theme is installed.
The Background colour is used to specify either lgiht or dark by selecting
0 for dark or
255 for light
The font colour should then be set to the opposite.
under no circunstances should you change anything in the section Here Be Monsters as it will cause the theme to break.
This post is reserved for additional tips tricks patches and updates.
Did u watch on my wallpaper i posted you? I think this is TL problem, but in other devices it is not problem, si idk. I just have to use the one color wallpaper.
Anyway, i love Lacuna
I thought I had replied to you on the development thread, it is the same for me and I cannot understand why when other more complex wallpapers I have used since all work fine. It is something odd with the blending between the black and blue?
And thankyou for your kind comments
I tried blend between the red -black, but there are stripes too, anyway, i found nice wallpaper and it made lacuna more awesome for me So stripes aren't problems for me anymore . (I finally see the top bar transparent )
But, if I wanna let this theme on mobile, it should be more "settings friendly". What I mean? I mean, if I want connect to net via wifi, and in my location isn't only one wifi signal, i have to go to menu, scroll down to windows/samsung setings and there i can connect wifi where I want. So, what about do it like this: If u touch wifi on/off in top bar, it will be on/off wifi, but if u hold that icon for a while, it will launch wifi settings . Do I want a much? I know, it have to be usable on every phone, but owners can redirect it to their own locations (i mean the scripts)
I know I am annoying
Your not, your request is valid but there is no long press in TL see here.
I could change things so it will either toggle or open an action but that would require a major rewrite
Hello,
Have anyway to put an youtube video about this theme?
Thanks.
I dont have a way of recording it myself no but if there is anyone that can please PM me and I will send you my email address so you can send me the video to upload.
nice theme
love the theme, so sick.. but when you go to send a text and have to deploy the keyboard, TL always has to reset! major flaw cause some of the TL themes are so cool, just NO stability
Sorry to hear that, I wouldnt be using TL if it did that myself.
Are you using the latest version 1.2.1 from within the TL forums?
Also are you using the theme as a today plugin?
If you are try disabling it and running as standalone.
Of course, it could just be an issue with the rom you have been using if all the above is correct.
yes 1.2.1... and if i use it as a today plugin, it has to restart, and if i use it as a standalone, the "unnexpected error please try running again" pops up
hmmm? hardware acceleration disabled?
no, it just doesnt want to go in landscape mode, i have a TP2...
This is a portrait only theme and if hardware acceleration is enabled, try disabling. It isnt needed for this theme anyway
no i know its a portrait only theme, just when i go to slide my phone keyboard out to text, it puts my text program into landscape cause it has to, then i send and close the keyboard then exit out of the text program to find its restarting.. i even tried messing with the regedit to make my phone never go into landscape mode, but its a pain and no fun and eventually fails
I used to have a wizard and a kaiser and this didnt happen on either device when the keyboard was deployed. This is either a rom or phone specific issue. Afraid I can't help with that sorry.
yeah no its all good... there needs to be a way where there really isnt a landscape mode it just projects on the landscape screen the same way it would on the portrait way, it would look CRAPPY but still be able for you to do it...
and like this theme and the wp7 v2 fireslave, its cool cause of the seperate messaging hubs, i like that ALOT! and CHT doesnt really have that, and im trying to get someone to make that.. i cant code anything or do all that jazz
That is actually a good idea, creating the default landscape pages using the same code as it would stop it from crapping up when people use autorotate.
looks like there may well be a v2 coming soon

hi, can you explain how to install this theme, becouse I have installed the program but i don't know where i have to put the files thanks
Hello Guys!
I tried making a Sword Art Online Widget Interface on my HTC Incredible S running on ICS.
preview is attached below. i cant post any links since im new sorry for the inconvenience
2 main applications I used:
Apex Launcher: available on google play
Glaeja : available on google play.
*Apex Launcher works for ICS and Jelly Bean only i think
I recommend installing Apex Launcher first
Apex Launcher setup after installation:
(Not sure this will work though, since settings are from my phone)
1. Download all the attached files with apex on it. Copy on sdcard. (extract zipped files)
2. Move apex_settings.bak to /sdcard/Android/data/apexlauncher/
3. Open apex settings and go to backup and restore
4. Select restore.
Glaeja Setup after installation:
1. Create New Widgets on Home Screen. 1 4x1 Glaeja Widget for the hpbatterybar and 2 3x3 Glaeja Widgets for the bars.
2. Download the skins, images and font files and paste them to the corresponding folders found in /sdcard/com.gmail.kanitawa.glaeja/
3.Select the widgets on HomeScreen and click Load Skin, select the corresponding skin file.
4. Select None on the On Click option.
Notes:
Apex:
-Key Settings:
Number of Screens = 3
Transition Effect = None
Use Tablet UI Mode = unchecked
Minimum Scrolling Time = 2
Show Wallpaper = checked, Mode = Singlescreen
Glaeja:
-For the Name on HP bar just edit widget and then find the corresponding text with Shawn on it. Edit the Display Text. same goes for LV: __
-For Shortcuts of the bar, the shortcuts can be replaced on the Transparent Buttons found on the bar widgets.
There is also a video showing my work on youtube, it has poor quality but it satisfies it purpose. (again sorry for not being able to post links since im new)
Thanks guys! And I hope some people find this post helpful. Comments will be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE:
Uploaded missing file manager icon

Thank you so much for this. It's really great. Took a while but I managed to get it to work with 7 screens to make more like in the Series.
Finally someone is trying to create a nice theme. Props.
OMG I LOVE SAO!
I would love to give this theme a go!
Could you please make a Nova compatible version??

How did you get the Apex buttons to open different Glaeja widget menus,as well as change to the yellow one when clicked? Or did you just make it look that way. Running on SGS3 with CM10.

Help
How exactly do you do all that you did to make it look the way it did in the images. I am completely lost in terms of what to do... I don't really know how to make anything come out as it should and after about an hour of messing around with everything I gave up on trying to figure out from the directions that were given... Can I get a step-by-step instruction as to how you set it up? thanks
Hey! Your SOA theme looks really amazing! I tried to set it up, but my apexlauncher wasn`t in the SC card?? Is there a different way to insert the settings into apex launcher?
Yea your instructions dont really help at all. Even had to create the folder for the apexlauncher but i somehow think that the settings backup didnt do anything at all. An howto would be very appreciated since it does look very good.

Just a heads up. You can use any images for the icons, any images for the widgets/text/etc. Once you grasp what is happening and put a lot of time into it, your imagination is the limit.
I'll try to explain what is happening here, that I see. I have a similar "tabbed' style setup on my tablet. I'm using Nova and a quick one button tutorial you can easily do to see what is happening goes as so...
1. Press and hold blank spot on screen, press Nova actions, then press jump to page, and select page 2 (this will be 2nd from the far left of your setup, adjust accordingly). Now you will have an icon on your screen.
2. Press and hold the icon, select edit and you can replace the icon with any image you see fit. Now you have your "button". For example sake, lets say you have an icon/text that you want to have media stuff brought up.
3. Now on page 2, which should be blank (no icon), you will want to make the same 'jump to page icon' again, this time in a color of your choice, so that it looks "selected." Obviously this means you will have to edit/color your image/text as you see fit. I colored my "media" icon text, the color blue for example.
4. Next up, now that you have a colored icon on screen 2, making it look selected, is to fill up screen 2 with media stuff. You can use the images he uses, or just widgets already in your phone, or the above glaeja app that looks like it can be useful here. Your widget can be text that has click actions, that open up apps etc. It looks like the OP has placed the arrow icon on this page as well as to give it more of a this is what you selected look. The options are endless.
So then you just repeat that process with icons on screen #1 that jump to the other pages of you phone, that have been edited to have the content on them you're going for. It's painstaking, but hopefully I've made a visual for you that sheds light on what is going on and once you grasp that, you can make anything.
Very creative work by the OP here, just wanted to share my thoughts for the last couple posters that are having a hard time. I can make a tutorial if necessary. :good:

Essentially, you are going to create all of your screens to have the 5 "button" vertical layout (or however you want it to be, 4 buttons, 8, etc). Your main screen, they will be all white it color (again whatever color you choose) and swipe one screen to right, have the same 5 buttons vertical, but the one icon you want to make look "selected" have it yellow, in this instance and also on that screen would be the corresponding widget with the images and icons/text you want to look like it opened. How this works it when setting launcher to no scroll on wallpaper, and setting the button as a widget action to turn to page '2', it flings the screens to screen 2, where one icon is "selected" and there is different content on the screen (the widget, ie looking like it opened a menu). search on youtube for tabbed setup for android and you'll see setups alike.

Hello! I've been going around XDA looking for everything I can get to get as close as possible to Samsung's One UI, the new design language to be released alongside the Android Pie update. As most Samsung users may know the beta for Android Pie and One UI has been released for the Galaxy S9 and S9+, but not for any of the 8 models. Because of this I went on a search to skin my UI to the point that it might as well be One UI. (Aside from all the apps, unfortunately.)
I'm going to make a list including links to everything I've used to get to this point.
Before we get started, to install most of these leak apps, you'll need App Cloner, which is unavailable in the Play Store, so I've provided a download for the App Cloner I have. After installing this, we can get to the interesting stuff.
A reminder that all of this requires NO ROOT.

Here's the App Cloner link.
Mod Edit: Link removed
First off, we've got the most obvious (and easiest) one. Samsung Experience Home 10. This one just requires an app cloner install, fortunately though, XDA has already done that for us right here https://www-xda--developers-com.cdn....com/download-samsung-experience-10-launcher/
A big thanks to them for getting the cloning process over with. After downloading the apk file they've provided simply install it, clear the cache/data and set it as the default launcher. You should end up with something like the screenshots. I recommend the Home Screen Grid to be set to 4x6, and the App Screen Grid to whatever you like. I kept it large to have less pages to go through when searching for apps. I set the grid to 4x6 to further match the render from the One UI apps section on the samsung website.

Is there anyway to import your Home Screen setup from the old Samsung Experience?
Now we have the clock tweaks. This one will require substratum, so if you'd rather not dive into that stuff then feel free to skip this one. Substratum is free but Andromeda is paid so I've included my Andromeda apk.
The first one we'll want is called clock tweaks by @AL_IRAQI. Head over to this page to download it. https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/themes-apps/mod-center-left-clock-o-t3614824/
You'll want to select and install Left Clock under clock placement in System UI. This will give us the clock on the top left in the status bar, rather than the top right. The next tweak we'll need is called System Mods by Draco. In addition to what we'll be using this tweak offers various other changes, so I suggest you check some of those other ones out. You can get that here. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=substratum.draco.systemmods You'll want to install Remove Status Clock AM PM under System UI to remove the AM/PM next to the time. This one is purely optional, but it matches better the One UI render.
A trick I learned from another member named @dj_iiml is to uninstall all tweaks before rebooting as instructed, and then reinstalling them. Reboot after this and the overlays will stay even after a reboot. I also got the clock tweaks info from his thread here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/themes/note-8-one-ui-look-how-to-t3867346

Unfortunately, I don't think so. Simply because the system doesn't see them as the same apps. I'll look into it and see what I can do.
Let's move on now to Pie system apps. Email, Calculator, Notes, Samsung Browser, Samsung Health and weather are the only ones I've gotten to work besides the launcher. Email, Calculator, Notes, Samsung Health, and the browser can all be installed from apkmirror, but the weather app needs to be downloaded from a ported dump and cloned. https://mega.nz/#F!j5pGSa4Z!wmDI6Ozacrq4yNBl4WlNgQ This is a link to the entire dump, if you want to experiment with other apps, otherwise https://mega.nz/#F!j5pGSa4Z!wmDI6Ozacrq4yNBl4WlNgQ!2th2TALZ is a link to the Weather app only. Just press open in browser to access them. Once you've downloaded the weather app, clone it in App Cloner, install it, and then manually allow all the permissions via settings, you CAN'T allow permissions through the app itself. You can then add a widget to the home screen. It will be the second weather option, because you'll have 2 weather apps. Credits to @corsicanu for the ported files, their original post is here https://forum-xda--developers-com.c...sung-pie-leaked-apps-ported-to-t3856098/page1
Finally we'll apply all the Good Lock 2018 changes. First you'll need Good Lock 2018 from Galaxy Apps. Once you have it downloaded there are 2 apps you'll need to download from inside the app. TaskChanger & LockStar.
First we'll use LockStar to edit the lockscreen. Pick any background you like, and any layout you like, because we'll be changing the layout in a bit. Once you have everything you want, including the clock, you'll want to tap Edit at the top right and arrange the clock and notification bubble like the screenshot below. After you've done this select the plus icon at the bottom right/left of the lock screen and pick what apps you want to be accessible from the lockscreen. Once you've done all this, go ahead and save & apply the lockscreen.
Now we'll move to TaskChanger. Switch it to 'In Use' and then select the scroll effect. I chose linear, but you can pick whichever one you like. Now switch 'Blur Background Effect' on. Now you're all set. You've finally gotten as close to Pie as possible before it's official release. If anyone has any suggestions for other apps or changes to make it even closer to One UI then write it in a reply. In my next post I'll write more optional, less important features that don't get you too much closer to One UI. Thanks for reading this thread and I hope all went well,
Cheers,
RSLPride
LESS IMPORTANT TWEAKS
ClockFace - Good Lock 2018
Clockface provides a few more options for the clocks on the Always On Display and lockscreen. None of them are the stock One UI clocks, but you might find them a little more similar to the One UI clocks.
One Handed Operation + - Galaxy Apps
One handed operation + provides gesture navigation, a feature that will be in One UI. The only problem? The bars are on the sides. This is the only reason I've included this in less important tweaks. In One UI the bars will be on the bottom of the screen, replacing the Navigation Bar.
Battery Percentage - Settings
In setting you can turn off the battery percentage under Display > Status Bar in Settings. It gives a cleaner Status Bar look, but it isn't required.
Search Bar - Google
Make sure you have the latest beta for the Google App installed, then go to the more tab in the app and select 'Customize Widget' select the color palette and then select the Black G on top of white. Then go back and select what looks to be a multi-colored water droplet, and then move the slider all the way to the left or to See Through. This will give your Google Search Bar on the home screen a more One UI look, but it isn't needed to sell the look.
