I had Liquid's launcher installed on my epic and it slowed android to a crawl after a few days but i love the launcher its really unique and useful(i think it would be fast on liquid rom).There is Liquid launcher posted on here and NemoPlayer,and i have themed Liquid launcher that i themed myself with clear drawer and few more touches i can post it if anyone interested.

OK I have been using it for two weeks now and I like it better than ADW, Launcher Pro, etc. They are all Launcher2 variants. This is a great home launcher and combined with Nemo it does me well. It has not slowed down for me at all, I'm not sure why it did for you? Could you please post your themed version? I would love to have it on my phone. I wish someone could get the notification bar working! I use SMS and Email Notifications so the bar is not essential for me but would like to see it work because it has advanced features. Please post your themed version, thanks again!
I'd love to try this out. Please post it for the rest of us.

Here is the link to the original post. Give it a shot! I think you will like it. It is definitely not your Launcher2 clone! Remember to use Nemoplayer so that the launchers Music Section will allow you to select your music. It won't select the stock music player!

I don't have time to make a new thread with screenshots,could someone take screenshots of this themed LiquidLauncher and NemoPlayer and make a new thread?
Here is the link for themed Acer Launcher and themed Nemo Player.If ya like it i also have themed TwizLauncher,LauncherPro,SemiTransparent-Blue drawer android theme and many themed apps that i can post.
Link: http://www.4shared.com/file/0_GVgBgR/AcerLauncherNemoPlayer-Themed.html
NOTE:To make AcerLauncher's settings work download WallSwitch from the market and after opening "AcerLiquid's launcher settings" once(it will force close first time) use WallSwitch to change wallpaper,after you do this Acer settings will not fc anymore.I recommend installing both NemoPlayer and Launcher because they are made to work together.Launcher needs to be put in /SYSTEM/APP folder to work.

You can also just go to your gallery and pick an image and set it as your wallpaper then it won't fc from then on. Also if you put the entire Acer wallpapers folder in your \system\media folder then you can select the Acer preset wallpapers in the Acer settings!

Also if you drag your finger on the bottom of the app drawer you can change the work window. The Acer also has a wicked lockscreen that you peel back to unlock your phone but this has not been ported over

Acer and Sony X10 got the best ui's on android and everybody talks about sense and blur.I wish they would get off that htc and motorala sht and get these 2 ui's ported.
How are we supposed to install the launcher? I un zipped the file and when ever I try to install the Acer launcher is says it failed but Nemo player installed.

Forgot to say that launcher needs to go in /system/app folder and you should put NemoPlayer in there too for better performance.

If you use the launcher in the zip file you will have to push it like he said to \system\app. If you use the launcher from the link I provided then you can install it like a regular app.

You need to extract two apk files from a zip and put them in /system/app folder.The reason for that is:after theming alot of apps will only work in /system/app folder and will not install regularly anymore for some reason,if anyone knows why that is I would love to know (and no its not the signature).
Oh and for people that hate all this complicated ADB typing and pushing(i know I do) just download Estrongs File Manager(its free) from the market then go to options menu and turn on "root access" then just copy apk files to /system/app folder,it only takes a minute and you don't even need a pc!

Post names of cool,latest,unknown,useful customization apps only :)

ok! as a modification i would say that post only theming apps here.....this would include newly released launcher,apps to copy other platforms of fones like iphone or moto droid etc,new apps that look nice and increase the functionality of our fone,ultra cool widgets and others similar things that u feel is new and worthy of out notice!
some from my side :-
1.iPhone Notifications(Phone Notifications shows your Android device's notifications in iOS5 fashion. This app brings a whole new way to display your notifications on your Android device. You can display all your Android notifications as popup alerts or banners, with exactly the same fashion as on an iPhone. )
2.Smart Lyrics(Smart lyrics is an easy to use application to view lyrics for the current song without typing the name of it. While listening a song, just click on the "Smart Lyrics" notification in status bar notifications to see the lyrics for the current song)
3.Pure breeze launcher(new home replacement by samsung)
post the screenshots along with the app names

What I tell you is searchable on market...
1. Android assistant, has an option for speed boost for every 10 minutes to 3 hours or more, packed with more features, doesn't drain alot of battery
2. CC Launcher, or Cloudconnection Launcher, it's an asian made launcher but has English support, it's 25mb in size but using an a2sd script will save you space, it's packed with features as well
3. Root browser, another file manager of many but common in cosmic 3.2 rom, it operates on normal standard just as any file manager does, but it has an in house script handler, extractor and packed full of features more advanced than ES file explorer or Root explorer
4. Walkman music player or Cloudskipper, both music players are great, Walkman comes standard to many themed roms but can be copied and added to any roms system/app folder, just download rom and extract it than pull Walkman.apk than transfer to desired rom, set permissions than reboot. Cloudskipper is great, it has lyrics for those who want lyrics

and can u tell me in detail abt moving this thread in themes and apps section
QQ launcher pro awesome launcher with custom lock screen
I dunno if you meant only theming apps, but IMO the most customisable app is Tasker.
Its definitely NOT an app for newbies. Even i took about a week or so to get the hang of it.
Try it, its amazing and awesomely useful

hi guyz!!! long time since i have visited this thread
i have came across through a app called super clock wallpaper pro which is much better than the wpclock

you can change the app drawer between vertical and horizontal, or 4D. you can also change the background.
The Xperia Home launcher found in this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675639
I was utterly amazed when I found this launcher on here.
I extracted it using Titanium Backup, Flashed MikG 3.11, installed Xperia Home and pushed to system apps.
This works very well in unison with the Car-O-Dope tweak as the launcher is quick and smooth to begin with.
I was looking for launchers like A month ago and someone recommended sslaincher and I have fell in love with it I use to be a go launcher Guy but sslaincher is the most customizable launcher you can pretty much make your home screens anyway you want them in any which way if you can imagine it you can do it

Thank you +ParanoidAndroid** for your hard work
(** Links to Google+ removed due to Restrictions)
I can tell you one of those things is being worked on
I'd love App privacy to also manage network access :fingers-crossed:

App privacy is currently available by exposing Google's App Opps implementation.
We'll see if they release it themselves for 4.4
I'd like improved quiet hours: the ability to silence phone calls, set different times for weekends/weekdays, quiet hrs qs toggle and for important contacts/ two calls in a set time period to ring the phone loudly. Also I'd like the ability to have 4 qs toggles in a row. Other then that thanks so much for this wonderful rom and keep up the amazing work
I think per app auto rotation control will be a good addition to the hybrid engine.

It is under consideration, Hybrid 3 has been written to be easily extend. I think its a great feature and would use myself, however an app can override the system settings and this covers most use cases: video, e readers etc
I have seen CM has fixed the problem where going into Recent Apps sometimes shows you a minimizing animation of previously opened app, although the app isn't in app switcher.
Even the stock Android has that problem. I'd like to have that fix in PA also.

Yes I agree. Does anyone know why PA uses these instead of the stock ones? Seems odd considering that PA strongly supports the android design guidelines and keeping things as close to stock as possible.

They were changed to work with PAC (per app color). The stock ones are opaque and the color feature looks nasty on them. The new ones are more transparent to work better with PAC. But yeah, I agree. They don't look the same. I'm sure with all the kk leaked images showing white icons, there gonna have a nice chance to remake them

My feature requests:
-Use Volume keys to move cursor r/l as in CM
-Battery charging light as in CM-
-In PA 3.99 or in PA 3+ generally, the QS Tiles are smaller or a part of the very top Quicksettings-Tiles-row is missing. That looks very strange! Please fix it so that it looks like in "original" Android so that you can see 4 rows of QS-Tiles when you switch to them, and not also the upper part of the Tiles in the fifth row!
Then I'd use this ROM as my daily ROM instead of CyanogenMod as HALO and the Hybrid Engine is so great!

Best apps for using themes on Nexus 5

I find AOSP plain and boring so i try new homscreen replacement now and then and have compiled a list of top 5 android homescreen replacements and they are
1] Next launcher
2] Go launcher
3] themer
4] Buzz launcher
5] Nova launcher
here is the blog post i wrote about it Top 5 android theming apps
Wergin said:

welcome
Also Apex Launcher (similar to Nova but some slight differences).
I tend to use either Nova or Apex (currently Nova since they were the first to add in KitKat's transparent status bar) but Themer is on track to be very cool for people who want something a little less like an extended version of the stock launcher. It's still in beta but it's from the folks at mycolorscreen who have become the best source for custom theming on Android.
My number 1 spot would go to Themer. Liked it from my old phone. Since I'm not that keen on customizing anymore, and I want to have Google Now with just 1 swipe away on my homescreen, I don't use it currently. But from all the launchers I have tried so far, themer is my favorite one. The second place goes to Action Launcher.

about the launchers, my favorite atm is holo launcher...
cos all i need from a launcher is gesture swipes.. up & down for notification & app drawer..
nova & apex have these only in paid version..
i wish GEL would incorporate gestures..
along with access for google now & LMT, that would be perfect

I was always a nova user since i had a galaxy nexus. Since getting the nexus 5 though, i discovered more customization tools for themes and widgets, and ive been using Go launcher just because it works with the aesthetic/homescreen setup im currently using.
If nova launcher had a few more tweaks to it like icons not clipping/cropping, id probably go back to using it.

Yeah they updated it to work on their website but the play store version wasn't updated yet. I had a thread on it. The only thing I don't like about it is non transparent nav bar. The notification bar is transparent but not the nav bar. In the broken version it was transparent. Not sure why it was removed unless that's what caused the issues
