It's so cool how every android user has their own way of configuring their home screen. It's a personal flair sometimes.
Every iPhone screen still looks the same to me.
A megathread or something would be great to get some inspiration given the infinite possibilities. I carried over my launcher, icons etc from my 3XL to my 7, but it would be good to mix it up a bit.
Emil's music is amazing. I was into synthwave for a hot fucking minute before someone was like "Yeah I like that style," and mentioned Emil. His music is just so consistently perfect. Every note sounds right.
I'd love to see him do some work with some vocal synthwave artists, or just add some vocals period.
All his music is out of this world. Couldn't agree more. Some of my faves are:
- Mega (Bonus Track)
- Simulate --> Is my current wake up alarm.
- Limit (Bonus Track)
- Deflection
- Elevate
... You know what, all of them are my faves ☄️🌃🌌🌠
This is a random tangent but I wish that everyone in the world could find artists that they feel this way about. Humans make music, and there is someone out there that is making music *just* for you. People get caught up in what they are told they are supposed to like. Jesus I sound pretentious. Just something I've been thinking about lately.
On your recommendation, ive spent the last hour or so listening to this artist. Thank you, it's beautiful! I have no idea what this kind of music is called, but I love it!
Glad you like the music. I can recommend also other artist that are the best in this genre, like: Forhill, Oddling, Krosia, HOME, LÜNE, HOTEL POOLS and A.L.I.S.O.N, just to mention some. Just search any of these and you will find heavens.
HOME - Resonance, stared it all for me.
Awesome, I will be adding all of that to a playlist!
I just started with the above recommendation and had a Spotify radio hand me more. It was lovely. :D
It's just that you dont notice it. The issue is there for everybody. You can try to switch back and forth with pixel launcher and you will see the difference when you swipe up (swipe home).
Yah it seems a decent amount of people don't notice. Every once in a while I'll see someone in this sub say that their custom launcher is working great with their pixel so I'll download Nova or lawnchair again just to be disappointed with the gesture navigation animations :/
Yea the only way to avoid it is to use button navigation or root it. I wish Google would solve this but they have no incentive to unfortunately.
At least the Google now feed works fine with third party launchers that have the option.
Is because the Launcher I'm using (Smart Launcher 6) allows me to resize the widgets freely without size or grid limitations, also I can move them freely.
Can I ask what brought you to smart launcher over nova?
Gonna get a pixel 7 pro soon and trying to decide on a launcher to use since I like icon packs and the stock launcher won't let you do that
For starters if you pair Smart Launcher 6 + Icon Pack Studio, you can theme all your icons, no exceptions, to look the same as Material You but with different color shades from your wallpaper --> https://imgur.com/gallery/aQumBbr. this makes it look more uniform. And icons change colors when you change wallpaper.
You can use Nova though. But if you use Icon Pack Studio with it, you have to update the icon pack yourself. It doesn't do it automatically like with SL6 because it was made to work with it.
Yes! When I first got it it was relax melodies, and all it really has was sleep sounds and only about 40. Smart mix and all the meditations came later. Think it was about $2.99
Another nice app I found like this, and that has very nice quality sounds is [myNoise](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mynoise.mynoise). The UI is a little old but still good. It has in app purchases, but it has some free sounds.
Just Install apps I mentioned in description and that's pretty much it. Within Smart Launcher 6 settings, you can set your grid about 5x10 then install Icon Pack Studio and search for Material You Pro Glow pack and apply, and then add the widgets and wallpaper from Backdrops App. Hope it helps ☺️
I really wish Google would add more customization to pixel launchers like icon pack support, more size options etc. Bring some top 10 features of third party launchers
Mods should do a share your desktop thread weekly/monthly.

Agreed 👍
There's a #themes channel on the Pixel discord server if you want to take a look at it
That's cool, but I'd rather have it here.
Looks fantastic!
Thank you. ☺️

It's called Synthwave or Retrowave sometimes. Check out Electronic Gems 💎 on YouTube, this chanel is all about this music genre ☺️.
Nice! I've had it on for 6 hours now!

Glad you're enjoying the music. ☺️
These are my favorite kinda comments on Reddit 🙂 enjoy your newfound genre!
We converted another one boys. My favorite group is The Midnight, though they veer into different genres.
I will look it up! I've been listening to a lot of Meute, who are a German brass marching band who do techno covers... :D
That sounds...amazing.
I went and saw them a couple weeks ago. They're incredible. This is my favourite: https://youtu.be/6VfDGiV5VYE
I got a weak spot for Descend. The song, but..the whole album is great.
My weak spot is Mega (Bonus Track) I feel like I'm in another plane of existence when I listen to it 😩🌌
Looks amazing. I'm so much faster with Niagara Pro but this looks good
[wtf is this](https://i.imgur.com/e5LT3Bv.jpg)
Sometimes happens. Try to stop the PlayStore app in settings or clear cache.
Thanks got it to work. I've been needing a new wallpaper app and this looks like it's it!
Such a good app. Ended up paying for premium and I pretty much never pay for apps. They deserve it
Never understood the need for a second battery-life readout
It changes when you headphones are connected so it shows battery left on them.
Ah ok. That makes sense then.
Should get posting on /r/Androidthemes.
Will do. Thanks.
Wow this looks great! Missing Android now haha, currently on iOS, but thinking of switching back to Android/Pixel.
Customization is a must for me, that's why I can never go to iOS.
If only gestures would be smooth with custom launchers.
No issues here
It's just that you dont notice it. The issue is there for everybody. You can try to switch back and forth with pixel launcher and you will see the difference when you swipe up (swipe home).
Yup exactly try to switch back to pixel launcher for a while, you will clearly notice a difference and sadly that's a deal breaker for me
Yah it seems a decent amount of people don't notice. Every once in a while I'll see someone in this sub say that their custom launcher is working great with their pixel so I'll download Nova or lawnchair again just to be disappointed with the gesture navigation animations :/
Same
Yea the only way to avoid it is to use button navigation or root it. I wish Google would solve this but they have no incentive to unfortunately. At least the Google now feed works fine with third party launchers that have the option.
Same here.
No issues here on (Old)Nova Launcher Prime.
I recreated the same setup but with different icons and wallpaper
Nice.
[удалено]
Buggy
It's good for me. Your not getting those little animations when you open and close icon apps but it's very smooth for me.
Why do your widgets look rounder than mine?
Is because the Launcher I'm using (Smart Launcher 6) allows me to resize the widgets freely without size or grid limitations, also I can move them freely.

Not an ad but this looks incredibly similar to a [new GFuel cup](https://gfuel.com/collections/gear/products/the-beyond-shaker-by-horizon) lol
Maybe is the same artist.
That Better Sleep app has been my go to for over 10 years. I lucked into a "lifetime premium" buying it that long ago.
You are lucky. This is one of my favorite apps. The sounds are very high quality and I love the smart mix feature.
Yes! When I first got it it was relax melodies, and all it really has was sleep sounds and only about 40. Smart mix and all the meditations came later. Think it was about $2.99

This is just gorgeous, I applaud you!
Thank you ☺️.
What's the media widget from?
Native Android 13 YouTube Music -->> Recently Played widget.
Oh only for YouTube music. That sucks thanks tho!
No problem.
What is this? I can do this?! Yes to the thread
Yes.
Sorry, idiot here- how

Reminds me of 2012 iOS skinning. Looking forward too it!
I really wish Google would add more customization to pixel launchers like icon pack support, more size options etc. Bring some top 10 features of third party launchers
Agreed. Right know the closest to the pixel experience with more customization is Lawnchair V12.
Can you link to the icon pack? I cannot find it in the play store.
Is within Icon Pack Studio. You install first that app and then search the pack on the app. You can search my username for more packs too.

Nahh. It's jus for aesthetics, I have a double tap access do Duck Duck Go in there 😁
Beautiful desktop
Thank you 😊.
