I am quietly impressed by GUI of WP7 and tried to mimic it's layout.
Updated Launcher pro had new grid options so I could come this far, but not anymore. It looks similar, but got no usability.
I just want to put weather widgetsand real-time updating news feeds and to-do lists inside that tiles .
Aren't there anyway except developing a live-tile widget application? Any Ideas to support this theme would be greatful.
And sorry for my bad english.

The result is very good !!!!
Only problem is that your homescreen can't be scrolled down ...
I had never seen something like this for android !
It is awesome !
Could you share please ?
Thank you
Cheers .
This is amazing , I'm not sure how its even possible, is this concept art or real screenshots?
As far as live tiles go , I don't believe anyone has found a way yet. Some people have modded the genie widget to a windows phone look. That might help you out for weather.

How were you able to get 2 Squares instead of the usual 3? And able to format it to actual WP7
EDIT 1: Nvm I figured out that column number would be 8 and Row would be 10 in Launcher Pro settings -> Homescreen
EDIT 2: I had to resize the tiles to 167 x 167. For column and row, they are all 8. Also disable or hide the notification bar. And there you go. I will see whats the res on the rectangle.
EDIT 3: Rectangle Rez is 344 width, and 168 Height

hello !!!
I'm really interested by this WP7 theme...I tried the last week end to make this with launcher pro, with option hide status bar, black wallpaper and only one icon to go in the menu apps. after that, I tried to make real tile of the original phone on photoshop, but I don't arrived to make this with correct WxL to look like cube and with correct space between us. So I test a lot of WxL and a lot of test of colums and rows without any results, if you have a pist for this, or another, please tell me because I will become crazy.
I tried to test to the solution by JQwerty91 to resize the icon by 167 x 167 with 8 for colums and rows and the result is strange....
thanks for the future help

[FULFILLED][REQ] Upsampling zoom buttons and keeping transparency

Hey all. I've been trying to upsample these 64x64 zoom buttons from a 2.2 ROM I used way back when and I lose transparency when I try to upsample them. 64x64 is just too small for the Nexus 4, and when I upsample through Irfanview, I either get buttons that are too transparent or not transparent enough.
Can anyone upsample them to 128x128? I posted this in the Nexus 4 subforum and no one has replied
Hung0702 said:
Hey guys. I've used Irfanview to resize the attached PNGs (they are zoom buttons, to be placed in framework-res.apk) but I haven't been able to resize them without messing up the transparency. Technically, I'm upsampling them, which seems to be ok. My only problem is that I don't know how to change the settings such that I can keep the transparency base, but have the "-" and "+" opaque. It ends up being completely transparent and impossible to see on a bright background.
Could anyone upsample them for me? They are 64x64 and it'd be nice to have 128x128. Also, could you provide me some details on what settings you used to save them?

The png images are attached to the above post. Just go to that thread and you'll see them on the OP.
Well, Irfanview is a bit foreign to me, but I used pixlr and it was a very simple conversion. I attached the pngs if anyone wants to use them in their own ROMs.

SymetiumUI Android Launcher (pc ui,tablet ui,tv ui,mobile ui)

this thread is to warn anyone from hiring appcrates, they will scam you on your money, i hired these people to have the below work creates, the quality of the work was awful, the developer i worked with disappeared multiple times in mid conversations, the quality of the work was so bad that other developers were unable to continue on it, do not hire appcrates, they wanted to refund me on one condition if i signed a nda not to mention my bad experience again and if i did mention it they would take me to court, this is what they wanted me to sign, i made the domain appcratesscam to warm people of these people, the domain will forward to this thread now.
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

standard homescreen support widgets,app shortcuts etc (just like any other launcher)

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

[guide]Add more columns to the oneplus launcher!

*requires root* tested on OB22
So after seeing the recent XDA post about enabling Google photo back up when charging, I figured I'd do some snooping around in the shared preferences files myself.
I found out you can change the amount of columns in the stock OnePlus launcher (to add more than the standard 3/4/5 columns).
To do this you need to go to:
/data/data/net.oneplus.launcher/shared_prefs/net.oneplus.launcher.prefs.xml
Then change the number in this line (at the bottom of the file) to whatever number you want.
<int name="workspace_columns" value="5" />
I don't recommend adding too many columns, as the icons will start to overlap (see the screenshots below). For medium icon size this will happen with values higher than 7-8, setting the icon size to small will prevent this to a certain extent.
After editing this line you need to force close the launcher for the changes to taken effect.
You will however still have 5 rows. This (probably) can't be changed in this way, due to the rows not being customizable in the launcher. The columns are, which is the reason this line exists.
Below are some screenshots, as you can see the icons are almost touching each other which 8 columns. The 12 columns are more a proof of concept.
Is it possible to add more rows?
This is why i'm still on nova laucher... when this will be costumizable on stock launcher? pleaaaaaaaaase...
Hello, this method is not working anymore on latest version. Can you help me what might be the problem? Also what file manager and xml editor did you use? Thanks!

I unfortunately broke my OnePlus, so I can't really help you too much with troubleshooting. Last I tested was on oos pie, so it probably should still work. I used solid explorer to edit the files.
Are you sure you are rooted? There are apps available to manage shared preferences files of all your apps. Maybe you'll have more luck if you try one of those.

I am sorry for your oneplus. The line is there and I have tried changing it but it doesn't do anything. It only happened with the latest version. I am on Pie. I am rooted with the latest Magisk, tried many explorers and many xml file editor . Anyway thank you for your reply. I will try to search and maybe I can find something.

Change appearance of the quick setting/notification panel

Hi,
I'm wondering if there is a way to get a stock Android/Pixel like looking notification and quick setting panel/menu for EMUI 9.1 (I just like its simple icon style and the darker background compared to the particularized bright EMUI appearance).
Something like that is what I'm looking for.
I already found some information on launchers etc., but it doesn't seem to affect the panel in the top:
https://blog.en.uptodown.com/simulate-android-stock-huawei-emui
https://theunlockr.com/huawei-p20-stock-android/
This XDA icon pack does not seem to yield the desired results either (regular app icons are changing, not the top panel though).
Thanks for some info
The only way is to use PowerShade.
It creates an overlay on top of the stock notification panel.

We have to wait untill EUMI 9.1 themes will be available. 9.0/9.0.1 themes are not compatible.

Alright, I tried these kind of apps now and it doesn't really seem to be of any convenience. A lot of system permissions have to be set and then it only works for the drop down menu, but not the actual notification panel at the top.
Thanks though!

Sorry but this is all new to me. You mean we just have to wait until a custom made Android-like looking theme pops up in huawei's theme gallery?
I'm not sure if this is what you're after, but I really like this theme, and it gives dark notifications and volume slider...

Yes, right. There is no other way to change it. Some custom themes compatible with emui 9.1 are already on line.
