[Launcher and Widgets] LG Optimus Launcher and Widgets - Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps

Hello everyone,
A while ago I was reading a thread about the LG Home launcher ported to the EVO (Link). I really liked the launcher so I gave it a try on my Apollo, of course it didn't work as it should have.
So I asked aalopez10 if I could try and make it work for our Apollo's. He replied with a yes.
So I grabbed the latest version of APKTool and went editing.
The launcher
The launcher had 2 problems, the appdrawer (still not fixed) and the dock.
The dock is fixed in this version and I also added the home selector apk which is needed if you want to use that function in the home settings.
Pics and download below.
Pics:
{
"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"
}
The fixed Dock
Not yet fixed appdrawer(halp?)
The Widgets
I also ported some of the widgets, first of all the Memo widget.
This one is fully working, as far as I'm concerned.
The images or videos may look weird in editing mode, but everything works perfectly.
The Working Memo widget.
The World Clock widget is working after reworking some code.
If you need daylight savings time, touch the little clock next to the city name in the settings menu. (You can get to the settings menu by touching the widget)
The World Clock widget.
The Analog Clock widget hasn't changed from the original rip, but still works on our devices.
You can select 1 of 8 clocks and use them in your widget.
The Calendar widget is also working, but it won't sync with your agenda(I will look into this later).
The Calendar widget.
You can download all of these widgets at the end of the thread.
Downloads
Latest version of the launcher, this version still has the open spacing in the appdrawer categories: Launcher
All the widgets mentioned in this thread: Widgets
PM me if you want to help or if you want to know how I did it or something.

Nice efforts.
Tried it

---

Awesome launcher, thanks for port, i will analyze and I will comment on the bugs.
(Sorry for my english)

---

Thanks, please do report bugs and I will try to fix them.
Right now working on the appDrawer.

---

Good work, the launcher runs great exept some bugs:
When I try to change Home selector in Home settings I've got "Force close of LG Home"
In the number screen menu "OK button" is too bigger than "Cancel button"
I can send you 2 links with better quality image of your launcher if you want.

There were two problems, the app icons in the dock (fixed in this version) and the icons in the appdrawer(not yet fixed).
The app icons in the dock were just too big to look good and there was too much empty space in the categories in the appdrawer.
So after half an hour the first problem was fixed, and I want to share it with you guys.
Pics (sorry for them not being screenshots, I can't get any of the screenshot taking apps working on my phone):

Not yet fixed appdrawer (sorry for the quality)

Your first problem will be fixed in my next update, it requires an extra app which I forgot to add. Your second problem isn't that much of a problem, but I'll look into it.

A lot of the little changes I made were in the .smali files. I used Notepad++ to change some of the values so it worked. You have to look for names(they usually give a hint of what they are) and if the value starts with 0x, I found out the numbers behind it are hexadecimal which were open for change. I also had a lot of use on this site, it gave me information about the Icons.
I will post a more detailed log on how I did it (maybe a seperate guide)after I have everything working.

Thanks for your great work, waiting for new versions!

---

Nice. Will try.
You don't need an app to take a screenshot - just press back + home and it takes one

---

Thanks for mentioning, but this only works for me when I'm on my home screen. In the appdrawer it won't work.

That doesn't work

I'm a little bit stuck on the extra free spaces in the appdrawer, but I have not given up.
While I was looking into the code of the launcher, I also looked in to the code of some of the other widgets.
So I made the Memo Widget work.
Link in the first post.

Forgot to mention I added the world clock widget to the widgets pack.
See first post.
I'm still kinda stuck at the empty spacing in the appdrawer, if someone knows how to fix, please PM me.
I will keep on working on this launcher until it's perfectish.

Thanks, it works.
I only don't have the background of the launcher.
I would like the same background as the picture of the first post of this topic.
