Hey guys, so this is the long-awaited tutorial of how to give your Android phone a 3D UI. I'm using a Galaxy Note here, but it should work on most phones. Enough about that, let's unlock the phone. As you can see, first thing you'll notice everything is its landscape and double-click to change your backgrounds. Everything is 3D. There's no choppiness, no laggy. Work smoothly. The icons are a lot smaller than the stock.

And I'll show you how to do all of this. all of this in the following. But more about those icons, as you can see they're completely different from the stock ones. There's no backgrounds in the labels. So this is what you'll need. You need ADWX launcher, multi live wallpaper, and Android phone number one gigahertz recommended. Okay let's go, let's do it. First ADWX. First you go to ADWX settings. Forget presets, just go to icons straight away. What you want to select is new icons. I've chosen as 60, so you do not need to change your resolution. Text is white and label color. This is important. Put it down

all the way but not completely or else you won't be able to read it on white backgrounds. But that's how you get rid of the icon labels. So next the main dock. We want to get rid of that dock because I hate dogs personally but number of desktop columns I've put 10 and number of desktop rows I put 10 as well. This kind of gives you more room to move around. So not kind of link to big blocks, you can move around freely. So that's pretty much in that section. Home orientation should be in landscape. Doesn't really work in portrait this setup, so there's my dot bar settings.

And now going down to general behavior. I've got Transition Effect is Effect 1 to give you that 3D effect, half of it anyway. Desktop scrolling speed is 761. desktop bounce, 34. You must check wallpaper scrolling or else none of this will work. You have to. 550 for App Draw. I'm not really using that.

So I've got some gestures here. If you want to show the previews, press the Home button, swipe up to get the taskbar happening, and swipe down to open an independent app. And this app is Alternative Draw. So you can see the Swipe Command's in action here. Swiping down, brings a taskbar, swipe up, opens alternative draw. So you really don't need a dock anymore, you can just do that. It's up to you, these icons do not have to be that big, and they do not have to be in a list view.

They can be an icon view. So multi-live wallpaper, long press, go to wallpapers, live wallpaper. You can download this from free in the market and it'll install here automatically. Open it up, and see what settings I've got in here. So you can do settings for each individual screen, I've only got screen ones and three that I've different but the general settings are here so I've chosen the transition type as outside cube so I can choose anything you like but just to give you an idea this is how it looks like if you were to make the transitions absolutely random

so you can see here some swiping some fading there's the original cube change again get some crazy bookshelf happening flipping sliding changing around as you can see get the gist it's kind of bit crazy you can leave it as one transition or you can do them all but it's up to you really that's that's the beauty of Android it's all up to choice so I know you get the main gist you see how it's like but I just choose the one I like the key of the best so I've decreased the saturation which makes it more closer with black and white opacity on screen the middle screen I've got it at 70 but everything else is

100 interval changes one hour so this is how to create folders which is what you'll need to do to get all the icon themes happening to make them look that way. So you don't have to create a folder but it makes things a lot easier. So here you go. Long press the folder. You can select a theme straight from the market. These are all free from the market in AWD themes. The one here I'm using is elegant so you can scroll down into the icon you want, click it,

rename that folder, whatever you want. Swipe up to go into the app drawer, select an app you want to put inside that folder, create a shortcut on the desktop, click and drag that, put it right on top and it goes inside that folder. You can group as many apps like this as you want under the same category. It doesn't really matter, it's up to you, put it inside, and once you click on it, there you have it. You have a folder all the apps of the same category inside, so there's my test label. But you can create single apps in the same way, so you can drag it to the desktop, and then rename it and choose an icon for it.

So these are some notable applications. First one I'm going to show you is my music player. It's called Three. I've shown it to you before but this is kind of in more detail of what it can do and what it looks like really. So this is the list view, sorry, the wall view. You can go to settings and there's three main views. There's the cube, so... Blah la la la la. The boring view which is like an iPod basically just shows you the songs and albums and

and kind of like a cover flow thing but I like the wall the best so I use that it's up to you really my text messaging it's called messaging Metro beta it's not right out it's just kind of like a Windows phone 7 feel works pretty well it looks pretty much the same I have Windows 7 HD 2 and can hardly tell the difference so it's pretty good so that's that got my phone called WP7 contacts so it's It looks a bit much at first, but each one of those letters is actually the beginning of a contact letter. So all contacts beginning of that letter will show up. And you had the dialer on the top right, which opens your dialer, obviously.

HDC contacts and all that. Labelled this My Computer, which is actually Astro File Manager, so that's pretty cool. It goes into that, read PDFs, watch videos, whatever, USB. An interesting glitch I found was when you create a new wallet, actually stops in the middle but it goes away once you go back and sit so yeah that's my 3D UI tutorial I hope you got something out of it the main reason I did this is because I really couldn't understand why Android phones had to be so slow nerdy and clunky really like they can be really cool and like it seems like a

lot of work once you do this you'll never go back and do some pretty cool stuff just want to show that to you guys the end result actually ends up being really elegant and at the same time fun to use you can pretty much put iOS to shame Also a shout out to the XDA crew for being so supportive. Okay, so you know what to do? If you subscribe, I'll give you a treat. Thanks for watching.
