Video
GS3 video:
Live wall showing “fast day” mode for demo only normally it changes very slowly throughout the day.
Apps used:
Apex launcher pro
Uccw
Blue Skies Live Wallpaper paid version
Minimal reader pro
Apex Pro settings:
7×5 grids (Nexus); 10×8 (GS3)
Show notification bar
Dock as overlay
Widgets overlapping
UCCW settings:
These uccws aim to cover part of the live wall without leaving any gaps.
Nexus-
on main screen there are 4 uccw widgets here, 1 on top with weather, middle time and 3 individuals in the bottom.
Sizes:
Grid size 5×1 with dimension 735×165 for top bar and 3 individuals in the bottom (Thanks BBB for the tips!)
middle time dimension is 472×318 with 3×5 grids.
GS3-
2 individual 1×8 uccw bars on top and 2 individual 4×8 uccw in the middle (time) and bottom (batt circle).
Sizes:
1×8 bar with dimension 965×165
4×8, 475×324
Note: Most icons are not embedded in uccw. They just laid on uccw skins so remember to turn overlapping widgets mode in apex settings.
Icons are holo icons modified by me based on google design icons.
Hope this simple guide can help.
Enjoy!







LOL nice work agayn Alex T . Can you share this uccw fils?
Can you share this uccw fils?
Thanks! Hopefully I can finally get a nice homescreen. Question: why is the gs3 screen different? Is there like a problem with the nexus layout on the gs3?
Could you share the other files too? thanks
@todd @kangjioh not necessarily to share they are just simple layout.
@SpArkLeS I don’t exactly know why I guess it related to navbar. Though gs3 has same screen resolution as nexus, nexus layout won’t fit gs3 in my experience.
Ok thanks!
But the weather and time uccw file on top, could you share that please?
Also I cannot get UCCW to cover to bottem and top. How do you do 1×8 en 4×8 in uccw?
@SpArkLeS here it is: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/12923162/Themes/SkyLive%20Window/gs3%20uzip.zip
by adding a 1×5 and 4×4 uccw widgets then resize and move them to top/bottom.
Thanks! Awesome now I only need to figure out how I can get those widgets on the uccw files.
Im on apex pro and I have uccw on my gs3…..I have been trying to get the 1×5 widget black box to cover the top of the screen with no gap like you have in the video but the widgets will not adjust to fill the small gap at the top. Ive read your directions over and over and i dont know what im missing….can you please help me and let me k ow exactly what I’m doing wrong?
I have widget overlapping..still no go..racking my brain lol.
Out of all the wonderful homescreens you have made, this has to be my absolute favorite. Keep up the good work Alex.
@Nokstar make sure that apex settings < homescreen < horizontal + vertical margin are set to none.
I find it awesome too, but I'm still not able to get those icons on there. How please tell me!
Can somebody make a simple tutorial for Gnex?
hi alex can u share the uzip weather……
Alex,
I really like your work, thanks for sharing. Can you let me know what font you used for the UCCW, and where you found the line-art weather icons. I’ve searched and found nothing similar.
Thanks.
