Custom TV Launcher [Theme]

[samyboy89]

I really wanted a TV Launcher, so I "made" one myself. Using Nova Launcher, GMD HideBar (goo.gl/4vYuD), Desktop VisualizeR, and Button Savior I ended up like this:


Here is how: (number 2 and 3 is for hiding actionbar and is ofcourse optional, and requires root)
1. Download all the apps
2. BUTTON SAVIOR (Root is required for all features)
a. Activate the app (I put mine at the bottom left, and with a "swipe from right edge gesture")
3. HIDEBAR GMD
a. For everything to work, just press "hide bar", and then "show bar". (I know its a bug that it doesn't show it again, but for everything to work, like the "recent apps" button, you have to click show bar).
4. NOVA LAUNCHER (This should work with other launchers aswell)
a. Remove all homescreens except one
b. Go to Nova Settings (App drawer -> Top right)
c. Disable dock
d. Set grid to 8 Rows, 10 Columns
e. Remove gestures
5. DESKTOP VISUALIZER
a. Drag 15 of the 2x2 widget to the homescreen (with one row-space between each widget)
b. Click on each one
c. Choose image (I will upload my icons, free to use ) (256x256)
d. Choose action
- For the app drawer button, hit other -> Nova Launcher -> App Drawer
e. Clear name
f. Save

That should be it
Hope this makes the UG802 or any Android TV Player better!

Hi Samyboy89,

I really like what you customize and design your own TV launcher, also thanks for sharing.

So, could you please describe more details steps by steps how to do the TV Launcher like that.

I want to design a new one for me.

THanks,
