[Tutorial] Google Now Homescreen - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

This is largely based/inspired by the Holo v2 homescreen by Fluffen. This is just a very simplified version I put together that's formatted for our device. It's sad pretty much all of the really good designs on My Color Screen are for newer flag ship devices with >720p displays.

}
There are 8 free spaces on the homescreen for Apps/Folders of your choice. I made it to have the most simple single screen access to everything I need. If you have some basic photoshop/image editing skills you can pretty easily "resize" the cards to your liking.
What's Needed
Nova Launcher (Apex would probably work too)
Minimal MIUI Go Apex Theme
Ultimate Custom Clock Widget
Glovebox (optional)
ZIP w/ wallpapers and UCCW file: Link
Nova Settings
Desktop
Desktop Grid: 4x4
Width Margin: Medium
Height Margin: Large
Persistent Search: Always
Shadow: Off
Homescreens: 1
Dock
Dock Pages: 1
Dock Icons: 5
Width Margin: Large
Dock Height: Medium
Small Icons: On
Show Indicator: Off
Show Divider: Off
Icon Theme: Minmial MIUI
Instructions
Extract contents of the zip
Choose and apply one of the 3 blank wallpapers in the zip
Add a 4x2 UCCW widget to the top half of the screen
Use my "Now Clock" uccw file
Set up weather & location in the settings menu
To add themed folders, create the folder with the desired apps. Long press on the folder, press the icon, choose icon pack, and find a suitable icon for your folder.
Set up Glovebox to your liking with the light/white theme to match.

Re: Google Now-esque Homescreen Tutorial
I just fixed and re-uploaded the alignment of the clock widget a bit if anyone has already downloaded the zip. It's petty easy to change up the widget yourself if you want to.

That's it. If you like my work, or you want an icon tile request, post a comment. Hope you like it.
Excellent work, thanks. By the way, I don´t use facebook, could you make a 2x1 camera icon?
Nice work, Would like a camera icon too.
Also was wondering, since blue degrades fastest on AMOLED would it be better to have it in an alternate color ?
BEAUTIFUL!
thank you.
Nice, can you make the same icons but in green? =)
Nice Work !

[Tutorial] Simplistic Nexus (Full Screen look)

Ok, some of you will like how this looks, some of you will hate it. Judge for yourselves
In my opinion it looks much sleeker and utilises more of the screen (whilst preserving functionality).

"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It looks MUCH better on the phone, the screenshots don't do it justice
Things you'll need
- ADW Launcher EX (or one with similar functionality)
- BobClockD3
- A ROM that allows you to change the softkey colour
- LCD Density Mod app (or do it manually if you prefer)
Step 1:
Change your Density from 320 to 240.
Step 2:
Install ADW Launcher EX (and make it default)
Step 3:
In ADW Launcher settings change the Draw Style to vertical 4D (I hate the stock ICS one), the portrait columns to 5 and portrait rows to 6 (I don't like using the home screen in landscape so I didn't bother with the others). Turn on Fade to Black too!
Step 4:
In the Main Dock settings, make sure it's disabled.
Step 5:
in the Screen Preferences tick Hide Statusbar.
Step 6:
Go to General Behaviour > Gestures and set Swipe Up as "Open/close App Drawer". Also make sure Swipe Down is "Open/close Notifications" (It should be by default).
Step 7:
Se your wallpaper to black (or whatever you want, but I prefer it plain).
Step 8:
Place the BobClockD3 widget in the top left (may need resizing). The one in the screenshots is using the default colours.
Step9:
...
Step 10:
PROFIT!!!
Optional Step (But I'd recommend doing it):
Change your Navigation Buttons colour to black (you get used to not being able to see them after a while!)
So yeah, that's it. Takes about 2 minutes, reversible in less and looks awesome!
(Swipe up to open app list, swipe down to open notifications)
Enjoy!
