Hi guys, wanting to change my Android Head Unit's launcher to give it a different change.
Saw a listing on AliExpress for a module that runs it's own Android Interface via a Car's CarPlay connection which is cool. I'm more interested in what the launcher is, looks like a enhanced CarPlay kind of design:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here's the listing anyway: link
Could be Nova launcher.
You can get the same results from Nova, Lawnchair 2, or Microsoft Launcher.
Here are a couple photos. One is Nova showing a widget for my music player, time, and google search bar, and a few icons.
The other is Lawnchair 2 with a minimal approach. Just a time widget, custom wallpaper, and a few icons.
There's quite a few launchers on Play: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=car launcher&c=apps
I'm currently testing Agama, which so far is really pretty and seems to work quite well.

Hi I've got a question about all the launchers that are based on the original ICS launcher why do they have such a huge no usable border around each screen and so much space between the icons? and can it be fixed ?
Here is an example of a widget with ICS on the left and Gingerbread skinned to look like ICS on the right its just terrible and makes the stuff on the screen so small

"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Could be way off but id assume its due to the HD screen. Either use Nova Launcher and decrease margins with some sort of similar widget, or wait for the launcher to be updated .
Thanks for the suggestion I tried Nova and not too fond of it but I found a sort of solution by getting rid of the quicksearch bar and making my desktop grid 5x5 instead of 4x4 and manually re-sizing it
There is this pretty cool new launcher I found on G+ the other day. It's called Everything Home. It's in beta and still has a long way to go as far as having the customization of say Nova launcher.
The basic concept tho is cool. All you do is say what you would like the look of your phone to turn into.

This is what I got when I said ESPN.

Like I said, it was just released at the Play Store a few days ago, and missing a lot of features most of us are used to to use as a daily launcher but it's fun to mess around with and free.
Just now checking out Atom Launcher. Lotta features.
This is how the look comes stock.
Atom Launcher also has this Atom Store. A screening shopping for Themes....
Kinda like a Theme engine with the launcher.
Sweet....
Since every phone subforum had one of these threads and we don't, I'll start it up. It's a little bit too quiet around here anyways. Let's see em!
Launcher: TSF Shell Prime
Google search bar: zooper widget with Explicit skin theme

Nova Launcher prime, LMT as my app dock. Simple no waste of screen real estate.

Nova Prime with UCCW. I've had this design with slightly different backgrounds for four different phones now. I've had my main icons down the right side of the phone way before Samsung started this edge crap. It always made things easier.
Nova Launcher
back on older versions, you could only use the sense clock on the sense home launcher, looks like that has been changed. the clock widget works on nova & google launcher, should work on other launchers too

not the same
The clock widget always worked within sense launchers but they never worked in 3rd party launchers (nova, apex, action, google) not sure what htc changed but
it's not available on my M7 with updated clock app (8.00.745925)

Can someone please be kind enough to tell me how to remove the day / date off the home screen please. Non rooted.
Many thanks.

Same here. It's a shame you can't completely disable the live space widget. Or even move it or resize it... Don't know what Google was thinking here.
I've been able to hide it in previous android versions but this one seems a bit trickier. I'll mess with it more this weekend.
