Awesome! Runs smoother than 4.3
Few things:
1 where is the real slim dark toggle? Did it move or just not in the beta version?
2 can't send MMS
3 where is the quick menu toggle for all the status bar buttons in a horizontal bar?
Otherwise it's perfect so far

Go to Settings, Navigation, Global menu. Click the Plus sign (+) at the top and click to add Screenshot.
Only issue here is that messages double on my end when a SMS is sent......not a deal breaker by any means just kinda weird. Can't wait till all the normal slim settings are available......not being able to have a clean status bar is killing me. Also does anyone know of a way to decrease icon size or app grid in the app drawer ? Would like to keep the stock launcher just hate the huge ass icons.
Everything works perfect for me though all services are functional

If this has been posted before, I couldn't find it.
Found his today on modmydroid.net and thought it looked pretty cool. It free in the playstore and very easy to use and customize.
It d/l's as an apk, so you don't even have to go to recovery to install.

Can anyone help me wth making a new tile and where can I find the app drawer on here I do love the launcher
EDIT: Figured out the app drawer but still trying to figure out how to add new tiles
Long press app in drawer. Tap add tile. Long press app on home screen. Tap the pencil icon to customize. You can resize (1st). Then Change out images from your gallery or use launcher icons. Change background color. Or change from center to extrude if you want image to go out to the edge.

hi all...
I have found a very good app that is helping me a lot using the phone with big screen. PIE CONTROL. You can have quick lateral acces bar to home button, back, drop down notifications, and wahtever you want. At the distance of your finger... not 5 inches away...
Very helpfull and free. Ideal for note2.
perhaps u can include play store link??
also u might wanna try this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150 LMT launcher. pie style as well
You can try LMT Launcher too. It can be found within XDA.
Free.
And has more functions.

Yep, you just need to have root.

Pie control seems more polished and responsive than LMT. I have been using LMT before PA pie appeared on my Galaxy Nexus.

I got the app too and I'm really happy with it, the back button is ok but the menu button is too far away on this phone. I have it set up just for home, back and menu.
I have just one problem, though: the home and task switcher buttons perform the action instantly, whereas the back and menu buttons have a ~1sec delay between the button press and the action. I haven't seen any complaints about this on the web, is it just me or do others have this problem as well?
Seems faster for me.
For, lmt seems to take less ram (10 vs 40 in pie control). That's just for me. It also allows me to open from the bottom of the screen. This option was not available for pie (at least for the version I used)

without any rom or root, cant we change them ??
Probably not.
I've only seen these to be changed when using custom roms with that feature. They also allow 1, 3, or 5 icon layouts. And the option to disable it.
Can anyone port True Icon Theme for Tablet (note 10.1 2014)? the look and feel would be awesome for it. It works on Note 3, so no clue why won't.

These toggles style would look awesome on the note 10.1 2014 pull down. The true icon will theme some of the pts but not the toggle bar so that is what I'm trying to figure out.

I believe that it works on 4.2 jellybean which is what the note 3 comes with. Once I updated to 4.3 it no longer worked.
Good luck. Awwesome theme!!

True icon 4.3 does partially work, just not toggles, so I must use Wanam until then. Wondering if a skilled person can get this going. Dutch Danny got a custom kernel for us, Scotts rom clear rom kicks butt, then dark horse inverted apps are fully themed, but requires custom kernel.....
Just need the toggles then my tablet is close to where I want it.
Themed keyboard would be nice as well

I took a look inside the flashable zip for the True Icon Theme, and compared it against our original framework-res.apk. Almost everything points to hdpi resolutions, while our tablet has xhdpi resolutions. I have a feeling the theme would need to be rescaled to work on our device, or it won't look correctly. Best suggestion would be to see if the author would make a version for our tablets.
Sent from behind your couch while chillin with the Boogeyman!
The author stopped supporting it after 4.2.2....someone else ported it with their permission to 4.3 on omega rom. I understand what you are saying on hdpi vs xhdpi...just hope someone can make it happen. I'd be willing to donate.

Right now, I am running a super smooth Nova Launcher with all the necessary settings to make my phone look as close to Android L as possible. I changed the colors to the necessary hex codes and am using the free moonshine icon pack which has that flat effect. You guys need to get up on this and post screens and settings of your getup.
