Hi Guys,
Apologies beforehand but to fully complete this look - you'll need Nova Launcher Prime. You can achieve most of it without though!
The Icon set i'm using is ClickUI
Also install the Android L Keyoard
I also have RoundR installed (Which rounds the corners of the screen (set to 20) I like the look of this especially on the Samsung OLED screens.
Alter your Apps launcher to the Pure White option. Long press and choose Edit - then click the icon to get the icon Picker.
Now in the Nova Launcher settings >> Drawer >> Background set the colour as below :-
Again in the Nova Launcher settings (Prime only!) >> Drawer >> Drawer Groups ensure that Tab Style is set to Colour Blocks and then set both of the tabs to the colour as below :-
Finishing touches :-
Set All Transitions in Nova to None
Nova Settings >> Look and Feel >> All speeds to Stock
Nova Settings >> Look and Feel >> App Animation set to Slide
Optional unread Counts - Nova Settings >> Unread Counts >> Install TeslaUnread and then Set up Unread notifications using the same colours as above, i have them looking like this, but play with the colours and see what you like best :-
Enjoy! Let me know what you think!
Cheers
Paul

Settings--->Drawer--->Label Color
Settings--->Dock style--->Dock Color/Style
Settings--->Folders--->Folder Background/Label Color

I'd like to start a thread to collect Defy's screenshots with a small description of the used apps; I'll start with mine:
From left to right: left home screen - main home screen - right home screen - lockscreen.
App used for home screens: launcher pro free edition.
App used for lockscreen: widgetlocker.
Widgets: DigitalClock, CircleBattery, CalWidget, SnowStorm, SMSUnreadCountClassic, Widgetsoid.
As you can see I love minimalism .
Feel free to post yours!
PS: in order to capture screen images you need to root the device (which is easy using z4root) and any of the free screenshot apps from the market.
Here's mine.
That was 2 days ago. It was a standart ROM - 2.21 with blur. Now i got Clean 2.34 blurless Rom jit/deodexd.
Removed zeam for a launcher pro and tweaking it next. Will post a new home screen in a week.
Lockscreen:
widgetlocker with simiclock and minimal theme.

middle(mainscreen)
smooth calendar on the top(shows nothing on screen)
big widget clock with text(don't remember it's name, i've flashed another rom now)

set the slider action to no slider, then, with a blank screen select custom slider and then just set up the slider options in a different place.

I think that deffo gets top prize for minimalism lol
Didnt quote for image length.
Its clean and tidy If there was a way to make the top bar black with the clocked removed i would keep it but untill i find a way to do it i will stick with no bar >)
if you don't want it all black like jboogie's you need to make your own theme, but you will also need his services.jar to change the font
1. I just downloaded Milocker. Looks like it's the one I've been looking for except that the themes in it don't fit my screen. :/ Is there a way around this?
2. Is there a way to edit the icon sizes on the homescreen? Also adjust its spacing (e.g. If I set the homescreen to 3x3, it sets the icons too far apart for my liking)
Thanks in advance!
1. Search Milocker for LDPI
2. Instructions vary as per your launcher.. but you can change the number of rows and columns on screen to bring them closer of move apart(I am not sure but you can't do this on touchwiz)
what is ldpi? i'm new

Hi
Im currently running DN3 rom V5.2 and I can see that the settings menu is like the S5 with round icons and looks very beautiful
is there a way I can make the other icons in the menu also look like the round ones in the settings menu?
I mean all the menu icons and installed apps icons to be the like round ones in the settings menu
Please let me know
Thanks

search for s5 icon pack on play store and see what you get. if you are using it with touchwiz launcher, you will have to download app called unicon to use the icon pack.Rounded up icon pack comes close but isnt exactly the same.

Enjoy! Let me know what you think!
Cheers

Nice guide that you put up for people who cannot wait for 5.0 and prefer using Nova.
:good:
I tried Google Now launcher but reverted back to Touchwiz because i could not use S-Note widgets with it. Are all widgets available with Nova?
Looks really good, i had it setup really close to this, some off your stuff makes it look even better, thank you.

You can actually use Floatify to add lockscreen notifications similar to the ones in Lollipop.
For thoose of you who cannot wait for Lollipop and wants to use the lollipop theme without any struggle please flash the latest X-note rom. You can easily just change theme with Xnote controll app and there you go you have lollipop on your device with just a click. And it´s running smooth as butter just lovely. Thats why i love x-note, there is also alot of other themes to choose from. Question is if the x-note rom is avaible for all note 4 models.
Anyways im running the lollipop theme and will also do a x-note rom review as doing videos about android, rom reviews, game reviews, guides etc is my passion you can follow me on youtube ( the android dewd reviews ) stay tuned because a x-note rom review with the beautiful tw theme chooser they added you will be amazed how easily you can switch themes without nova or any other launcher and run lollipop if thats what you like.
Kind regards!
The android dewd reviews.

Sorry, no, the s-planner widget doesn't work which is sad as I really need it.
Could you please share the nova.backup file, so it would be easy for anyone to use that, after setting the icons to lollipop, so others can simply import the whole setup. Its just for folks who keep changing there look. Just my 2 cents !!
POCO Launcher is surprisingly simple and elegant — at least, for Xiaomi. It might look simple, but it packs in plenty of options, including things as detailed as different transition animations, sort of like Nova Launcher. The app drawer is accessible via a convenient and typical upward swipe, and apps are organized by type into categories like communication and entertainment.
The setup process is straightforward, and there are a surprising number of individual settings to explore, though it doesn't hold a candle to things like Nova Launcher when it comes to sheer customization options. Presumably, it's also in active development, so we should see more features landing soon.
Unfortunately, we can't download it over on the Play Store since the beta program registration is currently full. However, we can download it from APK Mirror .

I would like to see a dark theme in it... But all of MIUI has light theme..
I would have loved to see an option to resize the icons, did not find it through the setting so far, wonder if it is available yet.

It depends on the theme that you have installed in your MIUI-powered phone. For example "Geometry Black" that I have in my Mi5 is dark everywhere. In general, the default themes that xiaomi phone have are light-themed.
I don't know what is the similar theme for Poco and if this theme is compatible with it as I don't have it yet.

geometry black is available in themes and it tuns background o black for settings and all. The app drawer still stays white tough, which defeats its purpose. It more for MIUI & not optimised for "MIUI for POCO"
Just moved to Nova for a two reasons:
*no option to set grid sizes ( desktop and app drawer).
*Nova teslaUnread add on solves (at least temporary) lack of notification problem in notification bar.
*ability to change color/transparency of app drawer background.

By this do u mean the unread count badge on home page icons or does Nova give u notification in the status bar.
Even Poco gives unread badge just not the counts.

Yes, I meant badges and sadly is doesn't work properly for some apps. maybe I missed this option on poco launcher. But still grid adjustment is nesasary.
Yeah, it's great, but I would like to have 4 icons in a row with bigger icons, such as in iOS.
Also, some kind of live or scrollable wallpapers support would be nice.
Individual change of icons such as in Nova Launcher, too.

It's basically the same miui launcher with the added app drawer
its there a way to change the navigation bar color scheme, for some reason on dark apps the navigation bar below its all white its horrible
Something funny i noticed with Poco launcher.
Locking homescreen layout should mean no icon/widget can either be added to or removed from the homescreen.
But apparently, after you lock homescreen layout in settings, you can still add an app shortcut to the homescreen but you can't add a widget!
Just updated to latest Poco launcher,was the word on the header at the app drawer before?
No, it wasn't.
Did you update from PlayStore?
Post some impressions, please. Is it OK or is it buggy?
