I just bought a new phone and did this. I'm pretty satisfied with the result but I feel like it could be improved somewhere, but I'm not sure, I like keeping things simple. Any suggestions?
Heres a setup I made for my new phone, inspired by a post in the last thread. Thinking of making different panels for different pages but nothing in mind yet
>>2232945 I would use the empty space between the hands and face or the blood in the foreground to make it feel like it's integrated to the bg
>>2232921 >Use KLWP or KWGT + ANY launcher. I have nova launcher and an icon pack so far. Should I get KLWP or KWGT? or both? Do I have to get the paid versions?
any recommendations for launchers that work with huawei and klwp? nova doesn't work so i've been using action and it's dogshit
>>2233372 > KLWP vs KWGT depends on what you want to do/make. klwp means everything is just a lockscreen, whereas kwgt you can drag+drop your widgets on different screens. i think they also have different refresh rates
>paid versions? nah, unless you want to import other peoples works. paid version allows you to use all the features on your own. if you're desperate to import but dont want to pay, theres a download for a free premium version that comes with ads
also what the fuck is up with the 4chan captcha. i havent posted in years and it's literally unreadable
>>2233372 I will rewrite it next time. Use KLWP as a default :D, it is a live wallpaper with which you can interact, most (if not all) of the better rices are made with this. I cannot think of any newer rices made with KWGT of the top of my head. Paid versions are not necessary as the other anon pointed out! >>2232945 Don't use "simple" as an excuse to hold your creativity back!
I wanted to ask is there anyway for me to change the icon of specific applications?, there are some icons that the icon pack doesnt cover and I wanna fill in the gaps but im not sure how
Not sure if I'm smart enough to do something like this myself I feel far too overwhelmed >>2233608 This looks really cool though how did you do it? I want to do something like that
>>2234022 his post also contains which app he used, its really simple to use, WYSIWYG editor, the animations can be annoying but with simple 2 page setups they aren't that much of a bother.
>>2234019 >learn how to resize a shape >learn how to move it around with animations >learn how groups work >copy something like the first 3 seconds of pic related now you know how to make the rice you want
>>2234007 Nice holoscreen anon, heres mine. Just finished it last night. I was thinking of changing the icons to a different shape or something but yeah. Feedback?
No KLWP yet, haven't had the time to do anything creative. >>2235039 Is 3 button nav any better then gesture nav? I've used Pixel's gesture nav for so long now, I can't get used to 3 button.
Anyone know how the animations and general interactability were done in this? Can't tell if its some combination of KLWP and Tasker, some standalone widget pack, or something else. If KLWP is involved, I'd be interested in knowing how interacting with objects like this by dragging them around is working.
>>2235714 This was made with flutter by Kali_ in the #homescreen irc room, and is a custom made launcher. There is a very general guide on https://homescreens.org/wiki/flutter/
>>2236101 Apple is so close to have meaningful customization nowadays but I'm not sure if they ever will add the missing bits like true Homescreen Layout customization and different icon themes without workarounds.
I just began ricing my phone. though I have no hope making a live wallpaper by myself. is there any possible way to download live wallpapers from some database or some such?
Is there a proper /w/ archive other than archived.moe and alice.al ? Most of the images on these archives are gone. I wanna see the phone threads from 2 years ago
>>2235813 nice, theres a really good pr5 rice on the website if you want some inspo >>2239502 love those icons desu. >>2239975 decent but the colours dont really mesh with the pics >>2241233 nice, maybe you could find a way to make the icons fit better? hiding the navbar always looks better imo >>2241248 this is nicer than the phone, personally id nudge the clock a bit upwards instead of aligning w/ bottom edge of image, about one or 1.5 digit widths. also maybe align the "other" at the bottom with the separator line instead of left margin. >>2241255 post screen
I tried using nova to get a scrolling wallpaper on my android, but I couldn't get it to work. Is that something that can even be done with it? I have a long wallpaper and want it to show the whole thing as I slide from left to right
>>2243154 I made the original render and it's a shame to see it so blurry. I take it you cropped your wallpaper from >>2242861? I remade it so it's much sharper now. You might have trouble seeing the difference with the pixel density of your phone. But seeing it on a computer, it's night and day. Original render (much higher res): https://files.catbox.moe/8l7lse.png
Pretty new to klwp, is there no way to make stuff in a group have an animation ?
im making a simple music player and want the whole thing to display only when a song is playing, but since everything is in a group I cant animate any button press (quick fade out)
Hi all, I'm trying to make a 4chan tomorrow themed homescreen. Nearly every photo and text in this is just a placeholder and I was wondering what launcher can help me with precise app placement which will go in the posts well and tiny text I can insert that can tell the time next to the post numbers? Sorry since this isn't anime-wallpaper related but /wg/ doesn't have ricing threads.
>>2244504 Thanks anon! I tried doing it, and it looks great! Wanted to test it but none of the text or buttons are showing up right now. Currently trying to identify the problem. But thank you for pointing me at the right direction!
Used to have a similar problem. not sure if this will work for you. Set wallpaper scrolling in nova then set wallpaper to a normal wallpaper long enough to scroll then back to klwp.
>>2244512 I've never had that problem before so I hope you get it working! I added a few things to the one I mocked up and if you have the full version of klwp here is the file. I always found it helpful to see how things are done, obviously you will need to change some things to get them working. Good luck. Oh /wg/ has >>>/wg/7972929 which used to be more active, pretty dead now. https://files.catbox.moe/ve3v2c.klwp
>>2244513 Tried this, nothing. Oh well, I'll tinker around a bit more. >>2244533 This is awesome anon! Thank you! I'll try to get it working but this looks really cool!
I've been using Niagara launcher for a long time. I tried to go back to nova + KWLP stuff, but I went back to Niagara and tried to make a shitty widget on KWGT.
Not made one for a few years but was inspired by the convenience of my new smart bulbs to start integrating various APIs (mainly Octopus Energy and SmartThings) into a homescreen. Some themes have legibility issues but it's not enough for me to care about.
I wish KLWP had an easier way of making a frosted glass effect for non-root backgrounds/objects, unless they already do and I wasted my time taking 144 screenshots of every FG/BG combination.
>>2248043 KLWP and (usually) a different launcher are all you need
>>2248225 Webms will be somewhere in the ancient archives but I had these two (the left one is likely broken due to a new phone with a higher res) that weren't really fancy outside of animaions.
Making a pape inspired by this >>2233608 anon's work. I'll admit it took me a while to figure out the animation and finding a pic that might look good in angled wallpaper.
Anything I could do to improve or finish? Stuff I've tried making in the past always ground to a halt when it came to making finer details, I can never find the right clock or the right amount of text that should appear on screen.
first rice attempt using KLWP, (thanks anon for the pape) last rice was 5-6 years ago using zooper... those were the days. my launcher (Niagara) kinda limits me in terms of icon placement, but nova is 2outdated4me as is... suggestions/ideas? not sold on the font
>>2235345 how on earth did you burn 1100 calories without even moving half a mile? either you are a full blown body builder or way too fat that you burn calories even when you breathe. do you have a job you fucking weeb? I'm itching to know about what's up with you
>>2249400 >two clocks >cringe text >mismatched font >ugly icons If you are going to use the music player from Niagara, make your wallpaper font match the font of that. Alternatively, make a music widget in KLWP
>>2249413 I presume it's also tracking calories burnt from being alive
Simple, clean setup. The characters fade between on screen swipe, the date, time, and music player are interactive, and the battery indicator wraps the camera cutout. Might try to add some icons on the different screens, but not sure
Is there any widget or launcher or something that can get me app Icons that scroll in a circle around a point? I found these cool card-looking icons that would be perfect for that "hand" look if I can rotate a half-circle along the bottom of the screen but it seems there's nothing that does that or can easily rotate individual icons if I wanted to go static.(Icons are Verticons)
First time making something in years. Borrowed from a few other people's stuff. Not really sure if I'll do anything else to it. Still don't know about the font though. Couldn't really find something I liked that much that fit the look
Hey guys, I've been looking for some help, but I suck at rising my phone. I'm thinking of making an unlock screen with a slide that changes while sliding. Like 3 different color buttons or something like that. I don't know if I'm explaining enough. Also, to show only the icons of the apps that are showing notifications. Where do I start?
Does anyone know how to create something like picrel?
I'm still kinda new to making my own rices on my phone, and I've been watching some of the guides by Brandon Craft, but I still can't quite figure out how to do something like picrel.
The color changes, the diamond-shaped album cover preview and the icons are hard to mimic for me.
>>2253370 its just putting the simple elements from the tutorial together. album cover is just a image with a 45 rotation. colourchange looks to be a element fading in ontop with a different colour. icons are just icons from some icon pack, probably imported as images into klwp and then made into buttons through touch actions.
Is there an image display widget on f-droid? Only found puppyimage but it's ancient, so doesn't work properly. Tried kwgt but can't import images with MIUI optimization disabled.
Man, I used to care about ricing my phone so much 10 years ago or so, but my interest died when I graduated college. I also lost interest in rooting / flashing ROMs at that time. Since then, I've been using the same icon pack (Pixel Dark), no widgets, and I only change the wallpapers when I get a new phone every 3 years or so.
I'll post my favorite rice I made over the years so I'm not just blogging. I always liked how minimal this one was despite the low effort.
>>2254972 >>2255002 klwp can definitely do it, and it is probably not too difficult. This is somewhat similar in function to what you suggest. iirc it's a lot of global variables, toggles, invisible buttons and tons of touch actions.
hi guys! do you have any up to date resources to learn KLWP/KWGT? Im maily interested in KWGT, want to make a widget that fetches a random image from my homeserver
>>2255049 write a live wallpaper from scratch using flutter, theres a writeup on the site. >>2255042 craftmath's tutorials are pretty comprehensive. If you managed to set up a homeserver i'm sure you can tinker about a bit with kwgt, it has a way to fetch images from sites, and surely it can randomize it. >>2255025 it has never been "worth it" for anything more than having something cool to look at, if you don't value that then no its not worth it anymore. >>2255051 its probably easier to google it than ask here, but klwp can do it.
>>2255052 Yeah fair. I used to do it a lot when I had smaller phones and more free time on my hands. Only thing I really rice anymore is my Linux setups on my laptop and my server. Windows I keep bone stock now because UWP apps being broken is a dealbreaker for me and there's no way to theme them. My phone, well, I only use like 5 apps and they just sit at the bottom of my screen at any given time.
Pic related was I think the last phone rice I ever did. :/
If anyone remembers the name Cirno from back in the day, Hi, I'm still alive.
Did the Homscreen Thread over on /wg/ die for good? Haven't been ricing actively for what feels like 2 years now but wanted to check in and couldn't find it. Also looks like homescreens.org hasn't been updated for a while either
>>2256614 There was one a couple months ago. It was actually posted in significantly more often than this thread. Then it died and (as far as I know) hasn't been remade
>>2256714 x=5+n steps ahead of you, the pic is already mine, but I wanted to figure out what os had the most similar-est icons so that the system is more coherent. best I found is the iOS 6 icons but they are a little too skeumorphic.
there's a version of it in the archive that is missing a few bitmaps and a few other things like the "risk of rain: #%" in the weather tab. i want to find the same one in the webm, but i'd settle with the one that isn't missing any bitmaps.
>>2248066 Updated with some new Syoko themes and rounded rectangles for the theme switcher buttons. Probably the last time I'll add any themes as it took 112 screenshots just to add in Syoko with a total of 256 screenshots to get the frosted glass effect for all foreground/background combinations.
>>2256716 Pre-iOS 7 icons are your best bet as that's what S;G is mimicking with the glossy texture, though I doubt you'll be able to get a perfect match for everything out of the box
>>2257443 NTA but search gelbooru for "sayori_(neko_works) chocola_(nekopara) striped_panties" and it's the first result - max res file is too large for here
Just got a new phone and getting back into ricing. This thread made me realize I never posted this back when I made it. My phone's looked like this for a while, so it's gonna feel weird seeing something else.
Also, does people still care about Clover or Kuroba? Looks like last update on Github was 4 years ago.
>>2255088 >4:28 nice I really wish mari okada had nothing to do with canaan. I rewatched it a while back, and I noticed her bullshit way more than when I first saw it. I still love the show, but man, it could have been so much better
Anyone knows how to force Android's Monet to update based on what KLWP has displayed at the time? My KLWP setup is set to change element colors based on the currently playing music's album art, and if it's paused, it will be of the last played song. The idea is to have the phone's system UI to change colors on a regular basis, but as it is right now Monet appears to only update... sometimes? I don't even know what triggers it, it just happens.
pic semi-related it's an old one, just imagine the whole thing changing colors instead of just the pause/play button when I skip tracks
>>2258697 There isn't even a Monet app, Settings don't seem to have anything relevant either. I tried installing ColorBlendr but there's no option for it with that either.
>>2232921 curious if anyone has screenshots of rices that look great with night light/blue light filter. I'm not at all familiar with colour theory or graphic design, so I'm curious if anyone has had some cool ideas.
>>2255018 Do you know if this a KLWP preset I can download? Not the same anon as the other post but I'm also new to KLWP and have been trying to figure out how to make something akin to this.
Also, anyone know where to download Kustom presets? I've got the pro versions however only a couple actually show up in the "discover" tab of the app.
having a hell of a time trying to find full res papes for my new phone, wallhaven doesn't support 9x21 (but they do have some, if you edit the address manually from ratio 21x9 to 9x21) also "all portrait" doesn't work at all. wasn't expecting a resolution problem.
>>2259090 That's a problem and that most art is so -fullscreen- nowadays that you don't have anywhere to place widgets or other stuff. Wish artists would leave some space to the top so you don't cover character faces.
>>2259355 >>2258873 How do you get the image to overlay specific parts over the widget/clock? Is this with kustom lock screen? I know apple does this automatically but did you have to manually crop it or is it something else?
>>2259364 It's with KLWP but I'd imagine you can do the same thing with KLCK too. Yeah, you will have to manually crop the image and put it as a layer over the clock
>>2259411 Looks a bit better than pure black, but overall kinda meh. It's got potential, though. It was banding like hell when I looked at your picture on my own phone though. I guess my display doesn't have as many colors.
>>2259413 I feel like with the blurred background it looks better or worse based on the image. Pic related looks good to me, with all the yellow and cyan. Also I resized the portrait to be exactly the same as the Niagara popups.
What's a good model for ricing, anyway? Currently running one of those cheap poco phones. The best I can do is having it as clean as the bloatware system allows.
What music player apps do you guys use to listen to local audio files? I've been using Shuttle since forever, and Shuttle+ since they made it free. But it's not beign maintained anymore, so there are UI glitches and stuff. Also, it used to get artist pics and album art from last.fm automatically, a feature I really liked. But they changed it to discogs after last.fm changed their API. Sure, I could just download the images for artist and set them manually, but I'm not gonna bother with that. Anyways, what do you recommend?
Any good apps to change the lock screen? I updated my phone and it has the 7.0 ui and I FUCKING hate it I used nova to change my home screen but I need something for the lock screen
>>2233608 Nice. Any idea how well something like this works with foldables? I'm liking the minimalism of using Kvaesitso as intended but I also want to see how far I can push it.
Moved over to a foldable phone and surprised at how well KLWP handles being folded/unfolded. Screen recorders don't handle it too well so I had to merge two videos together, but the actual wallpaper transition is instant apart from the system animation.
I adapted this from the wallpaper on my tablet. All the images/globals were already there so it was mostly a case of making another two layouts and updating some of the widgets. I also just noticed that I forgot to add a mobile reception icon to the status bar
>>2266784 Tapping on the image changes it. I like this setup very much, this way literally every image works as a "wallpaper", and the icons and labels are always clear and visible.
>>2267040 Mine's also the V5. It's KLWP + Octopi launcher. Honor phones seem to be a bit iffy with custom launchers + you lose out on the better recent apps grid when unfolded, but the default launcher is limited for the options I want.
In KLWP you will need to make two overlap groups (or more if you plan to use your homescreen in landscape)- one for the outer display and one for the inner display. You will then need to make a text global variable (mine is called "Folded") with the following:
$if(si(swidth)=852|922, Unfolded, Folded)$
You will then go back to each overlap group and change the layer visibility to a formula e.g. for displaying my outer screen wallpaper:
$if(gv(folded)=Folded,Always,Never)$
And then you would do the opposite for your inner screen wallpaper. This basically just controls which wallpaper is displayed based on whether the phone is folded or not.
>>2237139 Learned KWGT + Nova Launcher last night. I really dig this style and have been copying this from scratch to practice, but how did you get gifs to run in the widget?
>>2266785 >>2266784 Looks really nice, do you have a source for the Chen and Koishi pics, by any chance? I haven't been in 4chan for a long while and wow, this captcha sucks
>Bigme B7 Color - E-ink eBook >Android 14 + Total Launcher Default launcher didn't allow me to add any wallpaper let alone any incriminating anime ones. Used ADB to do rice it from my computer because ~10 fps would have been torture. Pape is self genned AI slop
guys i might be fucking stupid or something but i can't set anything i make in KLWP as my wallpaper. the play store said something about not being compatible but it installed fine from apk
>>2232921 Here's my shit rice, its looked like this for about 4 years now because I'm too lazy to try and figure out how to make it do what I want.
Bottom box is supposed to be apps, when scrolling left-right & back while everything else stays the same. Right now ive got emergency notes in there that ive blocked off.
Red text is what things are supposed to be/going to be.
