Starting point is 00:00:50 You gotta try breakfast at participating A&W locations in Ontario. So finally, the new UI from Cold Fusion. It's not 3D, it's Voxus. Hopefully you've seen the trailer already and you know what the UI is, But if you haven't, don't worry, I'm going to just run through it quickly before we get started. But first of all, what do you need to get this all running? The main things are Nova Launcher and the Voxus setup pack. This setup pack contains most of the things you need to get started on this UI.
Starting point is 00:01:40 So before we continue, make sure you click on that link in the description and download the setup pack and follow along reading the ReadMe file inside the setup pack. So what is new in this Voxus UI? Mainly a simpler design with less clutter, better performance and more practical, when compared to the old 3D UI. That being said, before you jump straight into setting up Voxus, you probably want to know what you're going to be getting. I put a lot of thought into how this all works together.
Starting point is 00:02:09 The first screen contains nine of your most crucial and most used apps, as well as the time and date. There's also a one touch music player at the bottom if you look carefully, so you have instant access to all your music. The next screen is for quick information at a glance. Here we have four simple text icons in the form of categories. When one category is pressed, a folder pops up with all your favourite apps included. It's important to note that before this point, simple text icons couldn't open folders
Starting point is 00:02:35 by themselves. There's a special app called folder organizer that you need to do this. And we'll get to that soon. The third screen is what's most different from the last UI. At the top we have the time, and we've got the number of unread text messages and miss phone calls and a weather forecast. On the next screen, we have a news feed with live links that opened a number of number. browser of your choice. And finally as we move to screen number 5 all we have
Starting point is 00:03:02 here is a simple S note widget and some simple text. Unfortunately this is for Samsung Galaxy Note phones only. Okay enough of that let's get started. First step Nova Launcher. So let's run through my settings so all you have to do is to select the same settings that you see here and then you should be okay. So moving on to Nova Launcher settings the first section, desktop. So for my desktop I have I have 12 by 5 as a grid layout and my width margin is selected as none and my height margin likewise is also selected as none. Persistent search bar is selected as never so it's not on any of the home screens.
Starting point is 00:03:47 For scroll effect I have card stacks selected. Wallpaper scrolling I have selected as on and this is just a precursor for multi-picture live wallpaper which we'll get to a little bit later. Two and five Canadians will hear the words you have cancer. That's why every step and dollar raised matters. On September 19th, join thousands in Toronto for the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation Walk. Challenge yourself, friends, and family to walk 21 kilometers in support of life-saving research. Together, we can carry the fire and help create a world free from the fear of cancer.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Register today at pmcfwalk.ca.ca. An infinite scroll you can have this on or off according to your taste but I've left it on here for this particular instance. And I've deselected label icons, so no labels show up on any of the icons. And probably one of the most important things about this is make sure widget overlap and overlap when placing are both selected. This is critically important, you need this selected or this will not work. Okay cool, so let's move on to the next section, the app drawer. Let's see what settings I've gotten there.
Starting point is 00:04:57 So for the draw app grid size, I have 6 by 5 for portrait and for landscape, I actually have 4 by 6. For the scroll effect, I've actually gone ahead and chosen in out. And for the background transparency, I kind of liked it pretty much transparent but not all the way, so you can just kind of see a little bit of a dark tint, so I put that on 75%. And for the draw style, I've just left that as horizontal, and I have included infinite scroll to be on. on and my draw groups I didn't really worry about that that's not that important you can change that if you like and I have gone and selected folders first that's really not that important as well and really for the advanced tabs there's
Starting point is 00:05:45 not much there to explore so moving on to the next section the doc I have first and foremost disabled the dock so the dock does not show up in any of the home screens. So those three first options avoid and I've kind of just selected to show the scroll indicator and the divider as well and nothing really in the advanced section. The next section folders. So what have I got here? So for folders I've gone ahead and selected the transparency to be all the way to the top and for the folder preview I've selected a grid and for the folder background I have selected a square. So moving on to the next section look and feel
Starting point is 00:06:31 let's see what I've got here. The color theme you can play around with that if you like but there's not that much to say about it. It's just a color and for the icon theme I have just selected the default and for icon size this is pretty important. For the Galaxy Note 2 I've noticed that the size of 85% works probably best. For your phone, this may vary. So screen orientation, I have gone ahead and selected the second one from the top, which is auto rotate. And for the scroll speed, I've selected these as all just the standard ones, so it's going to be Nova for scroll speed. For animation speed as well, it's going to be Nova.
Starting point is 00:07:17 And for the app animation speed, it's going to be just the system. You can change and play around with that if you so feel like doing so, but that's the ones that I just. chose and it looks and feels great. Two and five Canadians will hear the words, you have cancer. That's why every step and dollar raised matters. On September 19th, join thousands
Starting point is 00:07:40 in Toronto for the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation Walk. Challenge yourself, friends and family to walk 21 kilometers in support of life-saving research. Together, we can carry the fire and help create a world free from the fear of cancer.
Starting point is 00:07:56 Register today at pmcf walk.ca.ca. When you're a mid-sized business, you need every competitive advantage you can get. Like an AI solution that works for you, not against you. SAP Grow is built with AI embedded at its core, working across every system. And it's ready to go from day one so you can hit the ground running. Bring it with SAP Grow, AI Cloud ERP for any size business. and also show your notification bar is unselected. Okay, so moving on to the next section, gestures and buttons.
Starting point is 00:08:31 So basically what I've done here is I've enabled a two-finger swipe to access the app drawl. Now there's a whole bunch of things you can see in here that you can go along and play around with. But the thing about this is most of them are only available in Nova Launcher Prime, so that is a point to note. So you must actually get the full version in one way or another. to actually use this gesture to open the out drawer. But anyway, let me show you how that looks like, this two-finger swiped gesture to open the out drawer. So there you go, as you can see, as you swipe down,
Starting point is 00:09:06 it kind of just opens it, and it's as simple as that, and quite handy. So yeah, that's pretty much it for Nova. So you can say good riddens to Nova, and let's move on to something else. So the next step is multi-picture live wallpaper. Let's go ahead and set that up. And by the way, if you're wondering why there's a mouse on the same, screen it's not because I'm a wizard it's actually a Bluetooth mouse controlling this pretty easy to set up anyway multi-picture live wallpaper let's see the
Starting point is 00:09:31 settings I've gotten here so in the common settings I have changed my saturation to 60% I thought this gave more of a less contrasted look and was better for wallpapers in general back to the main settings I've actually chosen my transdistant type to be fade a cross-fade sorry because I thought this was going to stop all the errors with the flipping wallpapers and things like that. So it's just a different style of transition basically. I've left the reflections of the top and bottom but that doesn't really matter in this case. Double tap to change pictures highlighted and it's also important to note that this time around
Starting point is 00:10:10 I've actually chosen a specific wallpaper for each one of the home screens. So it's just a single file for the picture source. So if you haven't thrown your phone at the computer screen yet, let's get started with places these icons. So the main widget that we want to get started with is Ultimate Custom Widget. It's available from the Play Store and is the backbone for most of the widgets on this UI. So most of the widgets will be inside the pack that I was describing earlier, the Voxus setup pack, so it's important that you've downloaded that and copied them according to the instructions in the ReadMe file. Once they're all installed you can go ahead and browse to them
Starting point is 00:10:49 up in the top right corner of this application and once you've installed them then they just open up like that. So the first one we have here is the clock called Elegant and as described in the Read Me file it's on the first home screen so all you have to do once you've installed it is pretty much just resize it and just place it towards the top or wherever you see fit. And next you'll see all of these icons on the screen and this was done by just going and long pressing the home screen and selecting an icon. Say we want to internet Two and five Canadians will hear the words, you have cancer.

Register today at pmcf walk. You gotta try breakfast And what better way than with a delicious Pratt organic coffee?
Starting point is 00:12:11 Starting with just $1 all day, every day now until December 31st. You gotta try breakfast. I'm participating A&W locations in Ontario. So you can just go ahead and select boat browser and just note that the name will not show up on the icon because we selected that in Nova. So we go along to files and then our file management. which I'm using Astro here, and then we can go along and browse to wherever we've copied the icon from the icon pack that's in the description of this video.
Starting point is 00:12:43 So once you've done that, all you have to simply do is nothing more than to just hold and drag it to the position that you want, like any other icon in any other launcher. So showing you that again, scroll down to the app we want, say we want a camera, just long press, edit, hold down, and then scroll down to file, click the File Manager, browse to the File, Browse of the file and that's it and Keep repeating this step until you have nine of your favorite Applications in your home screen just like you see here The end result is pretty uniform and quite clean and I do enjoy this look quite a bit So hopefully enjoy that too moving along to the music player down the bottom. It's just a widget called now playing and I've chosen the larger size of the widget and you kind of just resize it and put it to where you want until you're happy. I hope you're hanging in there. I guess now's a good time as I need to take a short break.
Starting point is 00:13:41 We'll be back after this. Welcome back. Hopefully you went for a jog or something, who knows. Alright so let's move on to screen number two. So for this screen the first thing we want to do is get our clean status bar widget up the top of the screen. So to do that we just long press and then go down to Ultimate Custom widget and then select the one we want which once again will be inside the setup pack and then place it at the top of of the screen just like that. And then now we must move along to how to get the folders coming out of the simple text icons and we use an application called folder organizer. So let's take a look at that. So folder organizer is available from the Google Play Store
Starting point is 00:14:26 and once you've downloaded it from there you can just use the two-finger swipe gesture to get to it and then open it up and this is what you do next. So you click down the bottom left-hand corner and then you'll see a little label icon and then all you have to do is select your label name so I'm just going to call this one games two. So once this is done you click on the top left button and then search for the tab called labels, click on that and then search down to your custom name. So I've called this one games too so you just click on that and then click on apps and then select the applications that you want inside this folder.
Starting point is 00:15:02 Once that's done just click the tick at the top left hand corner and then you're set to go. Okay, so back to the home screen. So for screen number two, we're just going to go and scroll down to our widget called Simple Text and select the 2 by 1. And then we go Simple icon. And if you've imported it from my setup page... Two and five Canadians will hear the words, you have cancer.

Register today at pmcf walk.ca.ca.com.com. You've got to try breakfast. And what better way than with a delicious pre-organic coffee? Starting with just $1 all day, every day now until December 31st. at participating A&W locations in Ontario.
Starting point is 00:16:25 You can just choose that one, or you can make your own if you so wish. The only changes I've made since the last UI was to create a shadow and shift it to the left a little bit. So if you've done your own custom wording, you want to go save style, and this will save it for next time. But we're just going to go save icon, so we can save it for this instance. And next is going to ask you to select an action. So when you click on that we're going to go to shortcut and then select folder organizer folder link and then we can scroll down and select our games to or whatever you called your folder. And then resize your simple text widget, place it where you want and then when you click on it, there you have your games folder. So just repeat these steps for each of the four simple text icons.
Starting point is 00:17:14 Don't worry, it seems like a long process but it's worth it and it's not as long as it initially seems. Okay, so next we're going to have to get this little settings icon happening. So I'll show you how to do that. You go into your apps and it's kind of like the other icons that we had before. So you go into applications and then you can click select multiple applications and select whatever applications you want. I'm just selecting these for randomly and then you can add it to a folder, long click on it, edit and then click and browse for the file.
Starting point is 00:17:46 I'm just going to screen through this. Then click on it and then there you have your folder now that is a custom icon. So that's screen number two. Screen number three is a lot easier than the first two and it gets easier from here on end. So let's start. So screen number three is basically just three widgets and that's all it is. So the first thing we want to do is set up this clock up the top and I'm going to rush straight through this.
Starting point is 00:18:15 This is a widget called Minate Clock and it's once again a very very very very very very and it's included inside the pack that I've put in the description along with this widget called Spring Home Light which is the second widget with the unread text and miss call status So you just resize both of those and the third widget is called eye in the sky and it's available from the Google Play Store and As usual you can there's a whole bunch of options in here that you can play around with if you so wish and this is why I said it was very important to get the open overlapping checked on Nova settings because these widgets actually overlap each other to give that a tight look. Screen number four. So this is basically just a widget and a simple text icon.
Starting point is 00:19:06 So we have simple RSS widget from the guys over at My Color screen and you can select any of your RSS feeds so you can add some in there or anything that you are interested you can have the news rolling in. So all you have to do is just resize this widget. I've left out... Don't you wish you could just hit skip on the worst parts of your life? You know, the same way you can skip an ad? I get it.
Starting point is 00:19:33 I'm Siyaya and I live in Ice Cove. I've made some questionable decisions that didn't end up the way I planned. And today, I'm still figuring it out. Somehow things usually get worse before they get better. Apparently, that's how I roll. So bundle up and come along for the... bumpy ride. Stream a new episode of North of North Tuesdays on CBC Gem.
Starting point is 00:19:55 New from Nespresso. Blend wellness into your coffee routine with a coffee plus range, infused with functional benefits.

Our new double espresso with ginseng extract. Whatever lies ahead, don't change your morning.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Let your morning change you. Discover Coffee Plus on Nespresso.com. The simple text icon, because it's simply enough. You just follow the steps that I said previously. And of course, with the overlapping, you'll see that the actual text of the news overlaps this widget slightly. And make sure you choose your favorite browser to open up each news article. And that's pretty much it for the screen.
Starting point is 00:20:50 And last but not least, screen number five. So, as usual, just ultimate custom widget, scroll down, Get the widget that you want. So in this case we're actually going to go ahead with the Kate battery and Obviously it's included in the pack so just resize it and To the size that you want and then we're going to include our S note widget. So this is only for Galaxy Note users unfortunately so for you guys I've included a whole bunch of pictures that you can use as your widget within the Voxus setup pack so all you're gonna have to have to do is get one of those pictures and then open S-note, browse for the picture and then upscale
Starting point is 00:21:33 it to fill the entire note area and then once you've selected your widget for S-note, you just select that note document with the picture in it and it acts as a shortcut to your S-note application. So there's a few cool ones that have added in there that are pretty awesome, so check it out. And that rounds out the home screen customization and just one last quick little word on the lock screen. So for you guys wondering, this is widget locker and I'm in the edit mode as you can see by the top right hand corner. So I'm just going to get rid of this widget to let you see a little clearer what I've done. So you can just go into your widgets, select your clock widget which is obviously included inside of the setup pack.
Starting point is 00:22:20 You can just resize it and that's pretty much it. So obviously for the bottom I've kind of gone ahead and used a custom unlocker. So for more details on this, I have a widget locker tutorial which I will include in the description, so go ahead and check that out to see how to get the unlocker and if you have any problems still with the widget locker side of things. But apart from that, that pretty much rounds out the end of the Voxus UI. So thank you so much for sticking around and watching this video, so hopefully your phone's looking awesome and if it's not, hopefully you can just go back and look over the steps and
Starting point is 00:22:57 with the Voxa setup pack instructions that should help you out a little bit.
