- So after watching The Expanse s05ep06 Tribes and figuring my KLWP skills are up to par for such an endeavor, I present my homescreen layout based on the phone UI we've seen a few times in the show. The klwp file is shared freely here as it currently works well on my OnePlus 8 Pro (and theoretically on any phone with a 6.78" screen) but I wanted to share the file for anyone who is a fan of the show and wants to use the file to customize it to their phone size.
- Link to KLWP (file / screenshots / changelog as I make adjustments and fixes to improve the UI & elements)
For a bit of background on what's going on in the layout, here's a summary of the various pieces of the KLWP...
- Prerequisites
- KLWP with Pro Key - to import the file
- Nova Launcher (Prime Key optional) - for app launcher shortcut (grid size for home screen is irrelevant since this is a Live Wallpaper but the dock is disabled to allow for the dock in the KLWP)
- Setup
- Global Variable - Image
- Vibrant accent colors pulled from image of change
- Change image in Settings>Global>Image & colors will automatically update
- Calendar - Overlap group which Touch shortcut to Google Calendar (can be changed in settings to another app of choice)
- News
- Top 2 articles pulled from Android Central (clicking on the images/text opens the respective article)
- Change source RSS in Settings>Globals>RSS if you want to use a different source (ensure images are generally easy to load to make them visible on the homescreen)
