You will need a launcher which can support it. I use Nova launcher and add minimalist text as widget to the app drawer.

may i know how you do it? i tried with nova launcher, add minimalist text as widget -> start another activity -> select an activity or shortcut, but i cannot find an activity or shortcut for app drawer. thank you

This is really nice? How does one go about doing it? I just bought my S3, been an apple user since gen 1 days, would like to explore Android for a change. Is there any guide to do all these?

http://mycolorscreen.com/ has a good number of configurations to inspire you, but not really a step by step guide.

Not sure where a step by step guide would be found, but just keep playing around, after a while you'd get a hang of it.

Thanks. I got it from the upcoming razor HD smartphones ripped on xda forum.

I LIKE THIS!
It has a very metropolitan NY feel.

Can teach how do I do this? I hope it doesn't require a rooted device...

That is Minimalist Text.

That is the scroll-able news widget.

Nova Launcher Prime with Labs setting on... making the grid size larger than usual. That is UCCW. Theme is from XDA Developers.


anyway, nova launcher prime supports certain gestures.. so for my phone, I basically do a swipe up to get to the apps drawer and swipe down for the notification bar.

Clock is BobClockD3. Free and very easy to customize.

Time is BobclockD3 and battery is Minimalistic text, both from play store.

Greg Wright's Explorer home screen got lots of attention, and for good reason. Wright's creation is actually even cooler than you might realize, as many of the visual elements are interactive: Tapping the compass opens Google Now; tapping the caliper toggles the notification bar; tapping the lion at the bottom of the map opens a folder of frequent apps; and tapping the date at the top opens the system clock. The paper scroll at the bottom-left, meanwhile, shows a dynamic representation of the phone's current battery level.

Like the last setup, Wright's home screen uses Nova Launcher Prime to accomplish some of its magic. The wallpaper comes from Wallbase.cc; the widgets for the date, time, and battery level were all made using the Ultimate Custom Widget (UCCW) application along with a font called FoglihtenNo06 (Google it and you'll find several sites offering free downloads).

As for the interactive functions, Wright used Nova Launcher to create shortcuts on the spots he wanted and then set their icons to be blank images. That makes it seem like you're tapping the actual map instead of a regular app shortcut.

Still editing my homescreen to look like this.
