Hey guys, I've done some modding on my prime to bump up the UI visuals a little
I think it really suits the clean look!
You can see it in action here in the first half of this video!!

How is this the clean look? Lol you got icons all over the place top n bottom of screen filled up. Looks cool but too much like a win mo clone. I'm not a fan of big lettering detailing what screen you on or whatever. This just looks like different launcher or something as I've seen others in the "Post your homescreens" thread in themes n app section just like yours. Why so many icons in top and bottom bar at once?
I like it.
Points taken

Lol yea, I guess you have to ignore those icons at the very top, they're from adw launcher and I can't seem to shake them well MAYBE clean isn't the right word, but everyone that I show it to LOVES it!
PS the shots with more than one picture are transition screens (kind of like switching cards)

Overall it looks good. A different look for sure. So you put this together yourself taking pieces out of adw launcher? Or is this just the launcher itself with one of the many different themes it has?

How does mulitilive behave on your prime? I looked at it in marketplace and its getting slammed because it doesn't support ICS yet. Alot of users with ICS experiencing issues with it. Ill try it out once it updates to truly support ICS. Does it drain the battery from constantly switching backgrounds or can you make them static and just have one pic for each homeacreen?

Did you watch the video? :/
SMOOTHEST thing in the world on ICS. Widgets as big as the sun, and it doesn't skip a beat!!

I just watched it after seeing this post. Gave it a thumbs up. Dang, that does look really cool theway you set it up. Moves very fast also. I have adw ex launcher also. Got it a while back on the 10 cent app sale. Haven't really used it on my prime yet. I might try setting something up with it now after seeing that video.
Are scrollable widgets already working with adw.ex on ICS? Ditched it because of lack of scrollable widgets (but see it hasn't been updated since december 7th so guess not).

That's a good point it's hit and miss. Colorize widgets DO scroll but Gmail does not. So i have no idea why that is. Hopefully a fix comes soon.

Cheers for the response. Mail, agenda, bookmarks and those kinds of things weren't working for me and appearantly I am a fan of scrollable widgets hehe. Guess I'll stay away from it for now.
Must say I'm pretty satisfied with the stock launcher atm as well though!
This is a seriously biased video. Just look at the pinch-zoom part of the video (around 2 minute mark) and you'll see that Android lags in full screen animations. Sure the framerate does not drop, but responsiveness to user input is lagging as opposed to iPad 2.
I love my Android devices, but that video is just badly biased.

Looks good! I did a similar thing with my Nook Color, looks cool and works great. I used Minimalist Text instead of Simpletext.
I guess I have to try it on my TP now!
Ok so initially just looking at the screen grabs my initial reaction was meh. After watching the video I actually quite like it. I don't know if its my cup of tea just to have an entire pane exclusively for facebook feeds or the weather, but the interface works and it looks really good. Get rid of the icons at the top and it would be beautiful. Overall, good job, thumbs up.
Nice and clean! I like it. I could not multilive wallpaper in the market. I could see multipicture live wallpaper. Is that the same?

Yup...Mulitipicture live wallpaper is what worked for me.

Download beautiful widgets. It has tons of different customizable styles.

That program is awesome...I'll be getting that..is there a way to get the weather affects with it

They all say "flip", "HT3" or "sense" but do they actually flip? The beautiful widget ones don't and alot of the other ones I found don't. I gave up looking after being duped a couple dozen times.
Pretty sure that HTC has copyrighted the flipping animation, so other clocks aren't allowed to used it. Legally, at least.
Here you go, sense 4.0 clock widget but without flipping, really nice and resizeable, kinda like fancy widget, got it here in xda somewhere.
To whoever installs this make sure you start with an empty screen or you'll get the no more room message, even though the clock doesn't take up the whole screen, the widget does. Once you apply it just resize the empty areas of the widget, it installed full screen for me but I resized it 5 by 3.

That one doesn't work in TW as it's designed for landscape and keeps saying out of room even on an empty screen. Works fine in Go Launcher but there are better ones out there for sure. Thanks all the same.
Found one in in Google play and the clock flips and you can change the colour, how it flips and whatnot. Downside is $1.97. Here:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sgolovanov.GSFlipClockWallpaper&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsInNnb2xvdmFub3YuR1NGbGlwQ2xvY2tXYWxscGFwZXIiXQ..

Is it possible to get the SGS3 Dandelion lockscreen on the SGS2?
I have installed the live wallpaper samsung dandelion for galaxy s3;it works for galaxy note but I have just discovered that works also for sg 2.If you want to install this live wallpaper click here ;http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1069205&stc=1&d=1337367259
I have got the live wallpaper installed but i was wondering if you could use it for the lock scrren aswell.
Thanks for the reply
Get Widget Locker from the Play Store:
http://bit.ly/MeUCC7
It's a lockscreen replacement that keeps your live wallpaper running. You can also adjust lockscreen brightness, so the LWP is always shining bright. And remember to set it to your task killer's ignore list (if you use one), else it'll keep getting killed.
if anyone knows of a better and/or free alternative, feel free to tell me.

Thats Great Thanks
If anyone is interested...
I found a better way:
Get Go Locker from the Play Store (http://bit.ly/M7ryOv). Unlike Widet Locker, it's completely free. Not so customizable, but faster. The lag when unlocking the phone is completely gone.
Start Go Locker, activate it and set Background -> Launcher Background, so it displays the LWP on the lock screen.
If you like, install Fluid Live Wallpaper (http://bit.ly/LhvacK). It's a paid app, but well worth the money - the water effects are stunning.
Download the attached wallpapers (they're identical, I only reduced color saturation in No. 1) and set one of them as LWP background (via Live Wallpapers -> Fluid -> Downloaded Images).
That's it...

Hmm... About that GO Locker no lag behaviour... As far as I'm aware - lag when powering up screen comes from device waking modem up from deep sleep state.
Could you download CPU Spy (free) and check if phone gets to sleep while GO locker is used?
Best part about the Note 2 is the awesome screen! However, one of my biggest issues is lack of high resolution content ! Seems like 95% of wallpapers, and clock widgets are low resolution and it drives me nuts. Any tips on where to get higher resolution widgets or wallpapers? Zedge is terrible, PicSpeed is O.K. but not great. Any others?
Have you tried HD Widgets from the Play Store? Or Beautiful Widgets?

For wallpapers, someone in the "screenshots of your note II" shared this:
www.ilikewallpaper.net/iPhone-5/Wallpapers/
Much easier than finding images that are at least 1280 in height and cropping, which I was doing before.
Beautiful Widgets is pretty terrible also. Like 95% of the skins are very low res.
I havent tried the wallpapers, but do those any work if you choose not to have your wallpaper scroll as you scroll homescreens? I thought the android wallpapers needed to be wider than they are tall for the best scrolling effect.

What do you mean scrolling wallpaper? Mine does not have that feature, I thought they got rid of the scrolling wallpapers. I really want that feature back I hate having the static wallpaper its boring. The wallpaper selector gives you a cropping outline which shows 3 rectangles, with the left and right sides as if it still does the wallpaper scrolling but it doesn't.

Yes I use multi picture live wallpaper so my wallpapers need to be 720 width and 1280 height. The ones in that site work great.

My bad - it looks like you are right (at least with regard to the Touchwiz launcher). I had to switch temporarily to TW launcher to check this.
I am running Nova Launcher - which does allow for scrolling wallpapers.
I came from the OG Droid, to the Galaxy Nexus, and then to the GN2. This is my first non "google experience" phone. Even my Nexus 7 tablet has scrolling wallpapers with the default launcher - but that tablet is running Paranoid Android. Not sure what the stock Jellybean launcher behavior is...
